Start in Night City

"Thank you, Father."

After ending the call with the priest, Su Xiao resumed communication with McCoy.

"I'll find a middleman who is willing to receive the goods. You decide the time and place, and then you just bring the goods over."

McCoy's face showed an expression of surprise: "So fast? It seems that you are doing well in Night City."

"Just average, third in the world." Su Xiao waved his hand humbly, and then he asked again as if he thought of something, "McCoy, are there any hackers in the batch of prosthetics you have?" Use the "network access warehouse"? "

"Network access warehouse? I'm not sure about this. I have to go and take a look to find out. Just wait for me."

McCoy said a few words quickly to a homeless man behind him.

The other person ran away immediately.

"What do you want this for? Now you're going to be a hacker instead?"

"No...no, it's for a friend of mine."

McCoy said meaningfully: "Girlfriend?"

"Don't make trouble, we are just ordinary friends."

"That's my girlfriend."

Su Xiao didn't want to continue arguing with McCoy like a child.

"…If not, forget it."

Lidya Su just finished speaking.

Then I saw the homeless man who just ran away in the picture.

Back to McCoy.

She whispered something to him quietly.

McCoy's expression changed.

Then his expression became intriguing.

"Su, what do you think we found?"

"What?"

"Don't you want a "network access warehouse"? I asked them to search for it, and they happened to find a "Four-Phase Electric Ripple Type 4" in the packaging box of a certain second-generation prosthetic body.

""Four-phase electric ripple type 4"? Su Xiao was stunned, "Isn't that the fourth generation (legendary) network access warehouse?" "

McCoy smiled: "It seems that in the company's fleet, in addition to the nails we inserted, there are also chess pieces laid out by other forces. It's interesting. This is so interesting. Is this a winery?"

Lidya Su doesn't care whether it's a winery or not.

He only cares about the fourth-generation network access warehouse.

"You just said "Four-phase Electric Ripple Type 4", right? I want that. "

McCoy's expression was a little...

Seemed hesitant.

He seemed to be thinking about what to say next.

"Su, although we know each other, I checked this thing online and it seems to be worth a lot of money. You know I can't give it to you for free. I have to be responsible to my brothers. This is all we have left of Bucker's fire. It’s almost time.”

After saying that, he carefully looked at Lidya Su's face in the holographic phone screen.

It seemed that Lidya Su was afraid that Lidya Su would be angry or angry because of this.

But Lidya Su just nodded in understanding.

"You wrap it up for me. How much money you find online, I will pay you when I bring someone to find you later."

McCoy breathed a sigh of relief.

He laughed again and said: "Boss is very generous, so you can come over tomorrow afternoon."

Lidya Su was surprised.

"So anxious?"

"This batch of goods is too hot to hold on to, so getting rid of it as soon as possible will save you a lot of nightmares, right?"

McCoy's idea makes sense.

"What about the location?"

"Sunset Motel, you know where it is, right?"

"I know, the eastern bad land of Night City, but why did you choose that direction? I thought you would choose a closer location."

The Snake Nation mainly operates in the southern Badlands of Night City.

McCoy and the others chose the Sunset Motel in the Eastern Badlands for the transaction.

This means that if they want to come over to trade, they have to go in a big circle.

"It's confidential."

"Okay, then I won't ask."

In fact, Lidya Su knew it without asking.

Most likely McCoy and the others also took on other jobs.

Dried it together by the way.

That's what Wanderers are like.

I will take any job I can take.

As long as it can improve the family's livelihood, they will do it.

"But you were once a member of the Bakker family, and you helped us so much, so it doesn't hurt to tell you."

"The reason why I specifically chose Sunset Motel is to pick up another client."

Lidya Su was stunned for a moment.

Subconsciously he asked: "Customer? Wait, what customer?"

McCoy didn't think twice and told him everything he knew.

"There was a person who was very anxious to leave the city, but he refused to explain what happened. But I didn't ask any more questions."

"Anyway, there are a lot of people like this in Night City. Either they caused this, or they had to leave the city with their tail between their legs because they committed something."

"When the Bakker family was still around, I often took on this kind of work. I saw a lot of people like this."

Lidya Su thought.

The first reaction was that it couldn't be such a coincidence.

"Do you have a photo of that client? Send it to me."

The strange thing now was McCoy.

"Sue, what are you going to do?"

"Don't ask so many questions yet. Send it over first and I'll see if it's the person we're looking for."

Soon, Su Xiao received the photo from McCoy.

Su Xiao directly shared the photo with Qianhua.

"Is this the person who betrayed you?"

Kakyoin Chika was stunned at first, and then her face was filled with surprise.

"it's him!"

"McCoy, this client has a problem with someone I know. Please give me a price. How much will it cost to let him over to me?"

"What does he have to do with you?"

"He betrayed the whereabouts of people I knew to the Tiger Claw Gang, causing their mother and daughter to almost die."

"Fuck! This scum!" McCoy cursed, "It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. This scum belongs to you. I will hand him over to you personally tomorrow afternoon."

"Thanks McCoy."

…

The Night City at four in the morning is different from other places.

Neon signs and holographic projection advertisements, 24 hours a day.

Although it's not yet dawn, the company dog ​​has already gotten up early.

The roads were crowded with vehicles going to work.

Such a lively scene has nothing to do with the civilians hanging out on the streets.

At four o'clock in the morning, they were still asleep.

One was wearing a long windbreaker, a peaked cap and

A man wearing a mask and covering his face tightly walked out of the super skyscraper in Little Chinatown.

It was the snakehead who betrayed Qianhua and Ryoko.

He stood on the roadside, looking anxious.

A few minutes later, a Delamain taxi stopped in front of him.

“Welcome to Delamain’s private car service, choose Delamain and leave your worries at home.”

As soon as the car door opened, the snakehead couldn't wait to get in and quickly closed the door, as if he was afraid that something would get in.

"You damn sure came on time, couldn't you have arrived earlier?"

"Customer feedback has been recorded, thank you for your compliment, Delamain always insists..."

Before the artificial intelligence on the seat display could finish speaking, the snakehead interrupted impatiently.

"Okay, okay, that's it. Rigid artificial intelligence can't even hear sarcastic remarks. There are still people who think that machines will replace humans. It's really alarmist."

…

Sitting in a Delamain taxi.

Looking out of the car window, the scenery continues to recede.

No matter how hard Snakehead tried, he really couldn't figure it out.

Why did Kakyoin Chika not only survive, but the Tiger Claw Gang suffered heavy losses?

Because all the members of the Tiger Claw Gang who were present at the time died, and no one survived.

In addition, not every street in Night City is equipped with surveillance cameras.

Therefore, neither Jotaro nor Snakehead knew that Qianhua had help.

I thought Qianhua was the only one from beginning to end.

Grass! Oh shit!

If he had known that Qianhua was so powerful, he would not have dared to betray Qianhua even if he had lent him some courage.

But it's too late to say anything now.

If Qianhua is not dead, he must be able to guess that he betrayed her.

If he continues to stay in Night City, he will definitely be hunted by her.

After all, Qianhua was not the kind of person whose adoptive father was beaten to death with a golf club and who could forgive the murderer in the end.

If there is anything worse than being chased by Qianhua...

That is, he also offended the Tiger Claw Gang.

The Fa Zheng group was hit hard, so many people died, and now Qianhua can't be found.

Don't even think about it, you will definitely have to settle for the next best thing and come to yourself.

They say a cunning rabbit has three burrows.

In this line of work, the smuggler had already known that such a day would come.
