from night city

It's not that he deliberately wanted to show off, but he was just too tired.

As I get older, I am no longer a young person. After standing for such a long operation, I have to take a breather.

After a while...

"She is out of danger."

The previous depressed atmosphere in the room was swept away with these words.

Everyone looked happy.

Only Liangzi, the person involved, did not react.

He blinked his big watery eyes.

"Mom, can you survive?"

V gently touched Ryoko's little head.

"Yes."

Liangzi finally cried.

……

a few days later.

Qianhua, whose body was covered with bandages, hugged Liangzi and bowed deeply when Su Xiao and others came to visit them.

Then she asked.

"Why save me?"

V, Lucy, and Jack, who happened to be busy a few days ago and missed the battle, did not speak.

Instead, they all looked at Lidya Su.

And Lidya Su only had one answer.

"Doing good deeds without asking for reward."

Yes.

Qianhua is not a good person.

When she served in the New American Army, she killed many people.

Later, he quit the army and did dirty and tiring work for the Tiger Claw Gang.

Her hands were stained with blood and not clean.

But when they wanted to save her, Su Xiao and the others didn't think too much.

If pressed, Su Xiao might have had an idea at that time:

——There are already enough orphans in Night City, there shouldn’t be one more Ryoko

Su Xiao's answer made Qianhua not only unable to solve her doubts, but instead became even more confused.

But she couldn't understand it, so she could only remember this great kindness in her heart.

"I have remembered this favor and will definitely repay you in the future."

"Okay, you are a patient, don't stand for a long time, sit down first, sit down and chat."

After everyone sat down, Su Xiao glanced at Liangzi, who was hugging her mother tightly, "Have you figured out your next plan?"

Qianhua's expression dimmed.

"I originally planned to ask someone I knew to send Liangzi and I out of the city, but I didn't expect..."

If it hadn't been for the betrayal by the smuggler, they would have left Night City and been on the plane to Europe.

Lidya Su thought for a while and said.

"If you still want to leave the city, you can ask a middleman for help. I know a few middlemen. Don't worry, they are definitely more reliable than the smuggler you know."

"You also know that middlemen have great powers, so if they just go out of the city, it will definitely be fine."

"But if you still want to get the procedures to live openly and honestly in Europe, I'm afraid the middleman can't do anything."

"After all, no matter how knowledgeable the middleman is, he is still just a middleman in Night City."

In fact, Su Xiao suspected that it was the smuggler Qianhua hired.

It may not be possible to actually obtain the procedures to live legally in Europe.

This is not a matter of hands and eyes, but if there is a way to get this kind of thing, it means that there is one or even multiple industrial chains behind it.

The snakehead sent Qianhua mother and daughter out of the city, Su Xiao believed this.

But the smuggler still has a way to get legal certificates.

Lidya Su absolutely doesn't believe it.

He estimated that the smuggler had already planned to deceive Qianhua mother and daughter.

Even if they are not betrayed, the most they can do is send them out of the city.

Obviously, the smuggler was determined. Even if Qianhua realized that she had been deceived, she would never dare to return to Night City to settle the score with him.

This wishful thinking is really loud!

By the way, Qianhua also said that she knew the snakehead.

Sure enough, strangers are a trap, but acquaintances are a slam dunk.

Chapter 72 The traitor must die (4K)

What will happen if you go to Europe without formalities and certificates?

That would be a black house.

It's an illegal immigrant.

In any country, illegal immigrants are unwelcome and basically have no protection under local laws.

As for the country's policies and various benefits, don't even think about it.

And as an illegal immigrant, let alone finding the police, you have to avoid the police.

If the police ask for proof and cannot produce it, you will be sent back.

And without proof, no matter how highly educated you are, how well-educated you are, or how well-spoken you are, you can only work illegally or enter an illegal factory.

In this magical year of 2077, giant companies are all acting like this.

Think about what it would be like to be a black factory.

Eighteen levels of hell are nothing.

Black factories are the real hell.

……

Seeing that the mother and daughter were silent, Lidya Su suddenly had an idea in his mind.

“Actually, if you really have nowhere to go, I have an idea.

Perhaps, you don’t have to leave Night City. "

"Aren't you leaving Night City?" Qianhua was stunned at first, but then she shook her head.

"However, we have offended the Tiger Claw Gang. As long as we are in Night City, Jotaro Shohbo will never let us go."

When it comes to the Tiger Claw Gang, no one will forget the crimes the Tiger Claw Gang once committed.

At the time, the owner of Lizzie's Bar, Elizabeth "Lizzie" Borden, only killed a member of the Tiger Claw Gang, and was brutally retaliated by the Tiger Claw Gang.

But now, Qianhua openly betrayed the Tiger Claw Gang and not only killed so many people, but even the "Dragon of Zhengfa" Nantong Zhengshuang died in the roundup.

There's no way the Tiger Claw Gang would let them go.

In fact, Qianhua wanted to get this, and Su Xiao had naturally thought of it a long time ago.

And the reason why he still put forward this proposal is that he has also prepared a good response.

"The Tiger Claw Gang is just one of the many gangs in Night City. Their sphere of influence is only Japan Street in Westbrook and the Kabuki District in Watson District. They cannot control the entire Night City."

"Even if Arasaka is standing behind the Tiger Claw Gang, Arasaka is not the only one in Night City."

"At the very least, Military Technology will not agree."

"So, you just need to hide where the Tiger Claw Gang's hands can't reach, isn't that enough?"

What Su Xiao said made Qianhua silent.

Seeing Qianhua lost in thought, Su Xiao continued.

"On the European side, although it is far away from Night City and does not have the power of the Tiger Claw Gang, I heard that the welfare is also very good (compared to Night City)."

"But those benefits are all for the natives. Illegal immigrants like you, who have no certificates, you know, you know, it is impossible to enjoy the same benefits as the natives."

Take the United States in the 20th century.

At that time, there were countless immigrants from Eastern Europe who, with the beautiful vision of realizing the American dream, spent all their belongings just for a ticket to the United States.

It seems that the United States is full of gold, and you can become a master as long as you go to the United States.

However, reality gave them a hard slap in the face.

Because I have no skills and no academic qualifications.

The only jobs they can find in the United States are hard labor.

And because they don’t have much money, they can only live in communities with poor security and crime-prone communities.

The gap between dreams and reality has led many of these Eastern European immigrants to choose to use alcohol to numb themselves and escape reality.
