from night city

"A few days ago, after I got the original film of Black Mewtwo from you, I handed it over to Bryce. Bryce found a Mewtwo editor he knew and asked him to help him. A few days later, Bryce Got the clues he wanted about the murderer.”

"Let me guess, the murderer of his son is a big shot. He can't afford to offend him, so we need to take action."

"No, the situation is different from what you think, Su." Regina shook her head and looked around the box: "Have you ever heard of the name Ichijo Dasho?"

Su Xiao and others looked at each other.

They all saw the same confusion in each other's eyes.

"I have no impression. What does this person do?"

"Daisho Ichijo holds an important position in the city hall and maintains good connections with many bureaucrats in the city hall. It was he who brutally murdered Bryce's son and made him Black Mewtwo."

"I don't know where he got the news, but he knew that Bryce found clues from the original Black Mewtwo film. So Ichijo Daxiang immediately found Bryce, hoping to mediate privately."

Lidya Su frowned: "Bryce refused?"

"Yes, no matter how much money Daxiang is willing to pay, Bryce insists on exposing the evidence in his hand to the media. He wants to send Daxiang to prison."

V, who was sitting next to Su Xiao, shook his head: "I can understand the pain and anger of a father who lost his son, but I have to say that it is really irrational to refuse in person."

Jack also nodded in agreement: "At the very least, it should be hypocrisy and resignation.

, one thing in front of others and another behind his back, agree to his conditions first, stabilize him, and then come to us to kill that piece of shit. "

Lucy lowered her head: "He believes in God, but it's a pity that in this sinful and dirty city, even the light of God cannot shine in, and He cannot protect His believers."

Regina took out a cigarette.

I took out my lighter and was about to light it, but then I thought it was inappropriate.

So I put away the cigarettes and lighter again.

"If Mr. Bryce had your cleverness, he wouldn't be in this situation now."

"Has he been threatened with death?"

"No, worse than that, he was thrown into a lunatic asylum in Santo Domingo."

Lidya Su and others couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

The asylum in Santo Domingo, whose official name is actually the Night City Mental Health Center, is also known as the Sequoia Asylum.

In such an era where cyberpsychosis cases are increasing rapidly.

Night City's mental hospital seems to be a solution to the city's urgent needs.

From traditional medications and psychotherapy, to deconsciousness and dream experience recovery.

Sequoia Psychiatric Hospital has everything you need for treatment.

At the same time, Sequoia Mental Hospital also launched an innovative project that it is proud of - "Safe Space".

Completely isolate the patient from the outside world.

Chapter 56 Sequoia Psychiatric Hospital (×) St. Elizabeth Psychiatric Hospital (√)

Some people agree with Sequoia Mental Hospital's approach.

believes that eliminating visiting hours is key to successful treatment.

Others hold the exact opposite opinion.

They suspected that the reason why these so-called psychiatrists were not allowed to visit was because they were doing something shady.

Compared with their "thinking", middlemen like Regina, who have a lot of data and information in their hands, are much clearer than their "thinking".

Sequoia Psychiatric Hospital is nominally a health medical center for the treatment of cyberpsychotics.

But in fact, that mental hospital treated more than just mentally ill patients.

There were also NCPD officers who were thrown into the mix because they investigated too much and the stakeholders did not want to pursue the case any further.

And people like Bryce who are unwilling to compromise.

In addition, there are various rumors about that mental hospital, which the outside world thinks are rumors, but are actually true things that happened.

For example, staff often abuse patients and take pleasure in doing so.

They even conduct human experiments on patients.

Su Xiao thought of a question: "Isn't Sequoia Mental Hospital not allowed to visit? How did he issue the commission to you?"

Regina's face darkened.

"In fact, he didn't contact me. I paid for this work out of my own pocket. I really can't remain indifferent when I know that an innocent person is about to be lobotomized."

"So, you have to leave as soon as possible. The sooner the better. If you are late, it may be too late."

……

Sequoia Mental Hospital, Rancho Coronado, Santo Domingo.

Opposite the mental hospital, you can also see the super skyscraper H7 where poverty gathers.

On the way to Santo Domingo, the atmosphere was a bit heavy and depressing, and no one in the car spoke.

"If you don't want to talk, why don't you listen to some music?"

Jack, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said that he was going to turn on the car radio.

"Forget it, I don't really want to hear it."

Su Xiao shook his head.

V and Lucy have the same attitude.

But Jack had turned on the car radio.

But what came out from inside was not music.

But a male voice full of justice.

"Hello, my name is Jefferson Peralez and I am a progressive candidate who refuses to conform."

"I want to take one minute to tell you why you should vote for me."

Jack cursed: "Fuck! It's these guys again, they're really canvassing for votes all the time."

He doesn't care about politics.

In his view, it actually doesn't matter who is the mayor.

The sky is as black as a crow.

But only black and darker.

No difference.

Just when Jack was about to turn off the car radio, Su Xiao stopped him: "Wait, let's listen to what he has to say first."

Jack drew back his hand and touched his nose.

Peralez's voice continued to ring on the car radio.

"Let me answer the question first, 'What am I fighting for?'"

"The answer is simple, it is to end the influence of giant corporations on the politics of Night City!"

"Everyone who opposes them suffers, but we can succeed! All I ask is that you show your support and let me run without corporate funding."

"With your help, I will definitely win the election! My victory is your victory!"

"Sitting in your car and listening to the radio, you may have a question: What will you...and millions of ordinary people get in return?"

“My answer is – a truly independent city.”

“End the dominance of giant corporations, end the days when board members never set foot in Watson District or on the streets of Taipingzhou, but could make decisions for this city and its people just by sitting at their mahogany desks!”

"I strive for everyone to have the opportunity to receive a better education. If I can become mayor, I promise that in the first year of moving into the mayor's office, I will

, establish an annual fund. "

"Allocate funds for 20 full scholarships and 30 partial scholarships to support the 200 most talented students in the city to pursue further studies!"

"More than that, I will also collect income tax from giant corporations and use the money to benefit the general public."

"Last year, Night City's city hall exempted 32 companies from paying their income taxes."

“These include Arasaka, Moore Tech and Dinara.”

"Their total income, even if you only count gross income, is tens of trillions of euros."

"The proposal passed almost unanimously."

"Why do you say almost, because the only person who voted against it was me."

"If I were mayor, I would never allow this to happen."

"I would make the giant corporations pay their fair share and use that money to improve housing and health care shortages."

"I am Jefferson Peralez. Please vote for me with your trust and votes. I promise to bring you back to the golden age with Night City."

Jack snapped the car radio off.

He twitched the corner of his mouth with a look of disdain.

"It sounds nice, but it's not just for votes. These guys are all the same. They are all the same."

After complaining, he saw that Su Xiao didn't speak. When he turned around, he only saw Su Xiao looking ahead: "Su, what are you thinking about?"

"It's nothing."

Peralez's campaign advertisement gave Su Xiao a wake-up call.

Soon, Night City will hold a mayoral election.

In order to compete for the next mayor, rising political star Peralez and the current mayor Lucius Lane have made every effort to launch a publicity offensive.

A lot of promises were made.

But this is also the inertia of Western politicians.

Before I took office, I made a lot of promises and wanted to do this and that.

After taking office, being able to achieve a few of these things is already remarkable.

If there is an opportunity, maybe you can take advantage of it.
