The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

"Well, why don't you go up and rest, I can do the rest myself."

The scavenger sent to kidnap people has not been heard from yet, I'm afraid the remaining people in their lair will soon become suspicious.

- Rather than waiting for them to come to the door, it is better to take the initiative to kill them.

"Don't come on, how can you still sleep after something like this? And what if you leave me and run away?"

Lucy rolled her eyes at him, and then hit him with her little fist.

"..... Do you not trust me so much?"

"Stop talking nonsense, we are partners, and partners should always act together - this is what you said."

"I don't remember the second half of the sentence."

Walked outside the hotel and threw the scavenger in the driver's seat of the van out.

There is no need to care about the body, the city government's body collection team will deal with it the next day.

"Anyway, welcome to Night City, Lucy."

Chapter 298 Getting on the right track

The scavenger is very bad.

Really bad.

Among all the well-known gangs in Night City, they are undoubtedly the most unpresentable and completely at the bottom of the food chain.

After all, their situation is similar to that of the Random Blade Society.

The internal structure is quite loose, but because they are in the same city, they are often seen, so there is still some connection between each small group.

But basically anyone or gang with some strength can kick them, without worrying about being troubled by these scumbags afterwards.

After all, the purpose of these scumbags is to make money, and there is no such thing as chivalry - the premise is to do it a little cleaner.

And this is not a problem for Lin Qiao, who has sufficient experience in exterminating people in the last world.

Well, at this point, you should think that the next step is to teach the scavengers a lesson, right?

But it’s not.

After all, there is really nothing to say.

Basically, Lucy hacked the surveillance inside from the outside, and Lin Qiao went in without any success.

But in order not to arouse suspicion from other parties, he did not use smoke guns and smoke swords during the whole process.

Instead, he picked up a shotgun, turned on the acceleration mode, walked to the scavengers, and pressed the trigger on their heads one by one.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

After a few gunshots, the world was completely quiet.

The whole process was simple and unpretentious. It took less than a minute from the time he walked in to the time when all the scavengers inside were killed.

Including the time for looting, it was just over five minutes.

Lin Qiao couldn't help but be amazed when she just remembered the scenes she had seen inside.

The ground was covered with bloodstains, and in the bathtub filled with ice water, there were several men and women who were stripped naked and lifeless - they seemed to have drowned.

On the operating table next to her, there was a woman who was half dismembered, and all kinds of organs and prostheses were packaged in vacuum bags in different categories.

It was just like a well-organized slaughterhouse.

The last time I saw a similar scene was in the ghoul restaurant in Tokyo Ghoul World.

"Lucy is lucky to be outside, otherwise she won't be able to sleep for the next two days."

Although I don't know what the kid has experienced in the past to become so used to killing people.

But even a tough guy would feel sick after seeing the scene inside.

For her physical and mental health and the quality of sleep in the next few days, it's a good thing that she wasn't allowed in.

Oh, by the way, plus the brains of the scavengers were blown all over the floor after being shot in the head... I think the NCPD who came to investigate the scene the next day will be blessed.

"But those kidney-cutting gangs are unexpectedly rich."

Holding a few chip cards with money in his hand, there are a total of 110,000 euros.

The scavengers just dismantled two corporate dogs not long ago and sold their prosthetics for a good price.

No wonder these guys can't be killed cleanly. In addition to the market demand, the income from the no-cost business is also a very important reason.

Adding the money I got from the Random Sword Society and the hotel owner before, the total amount is about 160,000.

In Night City, this is a huge sum of money... although it is not that much in reality.

Lin Qiao looked up and looked at the big screen outside the window. It was playing an advertisement for Rayfield Motors, and the content was exactly The Sword in the Stone.

150,000 euros?

150,000 euros may not even be enough to buy a car seat.

——It can only be said that the prices in the game are just for fun.

Nevertheless, with such a large sum of money on hand, it is enough for an ordinary family in Night City to maintain their living expenses for a long time.

"It's a pity that after today, we have to say goodbye."

Lin Qiao shook his head helplessly.

Enough wealth for a person to wander around Westbrook for a long time. If used for serious business, the consumption speed is second only to those extravagant projects.

But there is no need to feel sorry. In this city, there are many ways to make money, not to mention his ability.

Outside the window, unknown sports cars passed by one after another, and the people inside were dressed brightly, but before that, Santo Domingo was full of poor people.

There are countless people who have to hide in a corner because they have no house or cannot afford the rent.

It is obviously the same city, but it is surprisingly large, just like this outrageous society...

Forget it, this seems to have not changed much from ancient times to the present, those who are drought-stricken will die of drought, and those who are flooded will die of floods.

The difference is that the world is more concretely represented.

At this moment, there was a sound of tiptoeing footsteps behind him.

"Have you changed it?"

He turned his head and looked at Lucy, who looked a little unhappy because she was discovered - probably because she wanted to sneak up behind him and scare him.

The two are now in a clothing store in Westbrook.

It's not too high-end, but the stuff inside isn't cheap either, but it's well worth the price.

Of course, the main purpose of coming here is to change Lucy's outfit... As for his outfit, there is no need for it. Anyway, there are many people who are pursuing retro these days.

"How's it going?" Lucy opened her arms and spun around in a circle.

A light black and white plaid hooded jacket, and cropped trousers with a certain pattern.

"Looks pretty good...that's it."

He looked up and down at Lucy, who had changed a lot. Compared to the night before when she was misunderstood as a homeless person, at least she looked like a city dweller now.

The sleeves are just a little too long...but considering that she is still growing, it would be better to buy a slightly larger style.

He walked over and put the hood on her back, just enough to cover the Arasaka prosthetic body on the back of her head that could not be completely covered due to her slightly short hair.

He nodded to the waiter next to him, and then followed him to pay.

When the chip card containing money is swiped at the machine at the front desk, a soft "beep" sound will appear, indicating that the payment is completed.

In Night City, those who do not use electronic transfers, leaving aside the poor and those religious people who do not change because of their faith, at least one-third of the remaining people are not very clean...

But this is Night City.

So just mind your own business and make more money, right? It’s not like they won’t give you money.

The waiter at the front desk, who had long been accustomed to this, showed a polite smile and respectfully sent the two of them off.

"Where to go next? Buy a prosthetic body? Or a weapon?"

The sultry air in the car made Lucy fan herself with her hands, and then expressed her opinion.

She roughly figured out how to survive in this city.

But Lin Qiao shook her head: "No, let's find a more reliable middleman first."

"middleman?"

"Yes, don't forget that we are both complete gangsters."

The only question is who to turn to?

Chapter 299 Wild Wolf Bar

There are many middlemen in Night City, but if you want to be considered "reputable", you have to filter out most of them.

After all, most of the middlemen are doing jobs such as finding gangsters to shake things up, making loan sharks, or helping people hire a few sex couples to hold banking parties.

And if on this basis, the words "reliable" and "eyes and hands reach the sky" are added, then the remaining slaps can be counted.

Basically, the few middlemen who appeared in the game are considered to be the most reliable and top-notch people in Night City...including Dexter Deshawn, that fat black man.

Having said that, there is also the question of who to choose.

Okada Wakako, who is also in Westbrook, can be ruled out first.

Several of her husbands are members of the Tiger Claw Gang, and the Tiger Claw Gang is Arasaka's black glove. Although she should have the most basic confidentiality and integrity as a middleman, there is no need to take this risk.

As for Regina Jones, whom he originally planned to find, she had just become an intermediary not long ago.

Even though he has made a name for himself by relying on his experience and connections as a war correspondent in the past, he is well-known in the Watson District, and his character is considered clean, but his ability is not necessarily guaranteed.

As a result, the choices are relatively limited.

Heywood is the area with the most obvious differences within Night City.

The northern part bordering the Civic Center is prosperous, with towering skyscrapers, beautiful parks, and complete public service facilities.

But when you get to the south, the gap instantly rises, as if you've arrived in the suburbs. The architectural style is filled with a suburban rustic, and at night there are fights between the Valentino Gang and the Sixth Street Gang over territory.

But overall, it can be considered a good place...at least compared to other places.

"bar?"

The SUV parked at the parking space on the side of the road. Lucy poked her head out and looked at the bar decorated with a huge bison skull hanging in front of her.

To be precise, it is "Wild Wolf Bar".

"Don't you need to bring weapons?"

"Looking for someone to talk business with is not a fight. Besides, even if you do take action, your water gun will be useless."

That's a real 8-line Lexington.

To put it mildly, if you use this thing to rob in Night City, which is full of martial arts, the probability of being counter-robbed is not small, and it is not small.

"Do you remember what I just told you?"

"Yes, yes, remember it all. Don't worry about anything after entering. Just pretend to be weak and pitiful... You've told me this several times, right?"

Lucy nodded helplessly, but then Lin Qiao stuffed a small backpack into her.

There are multiple pockets on it, and you can tell at first glance that it is the kind that is suitable for traveling.

It's just that he looks a little sorry.

"It's so ugly...it hurts!"

The white-haired girl gave her own evaluation without hesitation, and then Lin Qiao was stunned.

"Stop talking nonsense and carry it on your back. You'll need it later in case something unexpected happens."
