The villain knight doesn't want to be a hero

"It's not impossible, it's just a little complicated." Lin Qiao pretended to hesitate for a moment before agreeing.

He patted Lucy's head gently and prepared the words he had prepared before.

"The child's parents are employees of the company. The family was living well at first, but then something unexpected happened."

"There are personnel changes in the management... You know the power struggles in the company. You fight to the death for a position, and you do all kinds of dirty things."

"Anyway, her parents were unlucky. They accidentally stood on the wrong team and were in trouble. I had no choice but to take her to escape."

"In the end, after much deliberation, I had no choice but to come to Night City to settle down. Who would let this place be so messy?"

This is why most people who have committed crimes come to Night City.

--too messy.

Like other places, super companies such as Arasaka and Military Technology can completely cover the sky with one hand, and you don't have to hide even if you want to.

And Night City...

Although Richard Knight, the builder of Night City, did want to build a truly ideal city, throwing a bunch of super companies into the first city is no different from raising worms.

If you really want to do something like Shuizhiqing, everyone should leave as soon as possible.

And this is most likely the reason why Richard Knight was assassinated - after all, everyone is not very clean.

Although all the above stories were made up by Lin Qiao.

However, after reading the memory of the hacker from the Luan Dao Society, slightly adapting the experience of the unlucky reporter, and using the dog-licking attitude to manipulate emotions, the people present did not have any doubts about Lin Qiao's words. ....

Of course, the main reason is that this is so common in Night City.

"Bienvenidosacasa (Welcome home), at least you are safe here."

Mrs. Wells came over and hugged Lucy with some pity.

Just like what many people said about her: hidden between her harsh words and demeanor is a kind heart.

After asking the bartender Pepi to get Lucy a bottle of soda for mixing, she turned to look at Lin Qiao and pushed Jack's original glass of tequila to him.

"What about you? You don't look like any of this kid's family."

"Me? I'm her temporary guardian...I have a good relationship with her parents, and they helped me a lot. It just happened that I couldn't stay there anymore, so I just took her away. It’s Night City.”

Lin Qiao spread her hands, picked up the tequila in front of her and drank it down in one gulp.

Although it was strong alcohol, he really couldn't tell where the strong alcohol was. He had no experience of drinking before traveling...it just felt like water with a weird taste.

Mrs. Wells nodded: "Okay, I will take you to see the priest."

"Grateful."

"Don't worry young man, you should have brought money before that, right?"

Although I sympathize with the other party, the Valentino Gang is not a charity, and they still have to pay what they should receive... at best, they will receive a discount.

"Don't worry, I still understand these rules...here, they're all here."

As he said that, he took out a few chip cards containing money.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wells didn't say anything more, but stood up, with orange-red light shining in her eyes.

——This can be regarded as a communication feature of this era. Through the chip placed in the brain, one can communicate with others without speaking.

After a moment, the light in Mrs. Wells's eyes disappeared.

"The priest has agreed to meet with you... Jack, please take them to the priest."

Chapter 301 The Priest

Looking at the golden cross in front of her and the Son of Jesus crucified on it, Lin Qiao was in a daze.

Here is the church.

Well, this is nonsense, it is normal and reasonable for a priest to be in the church.

"I've heard about it. There are not many people who can do such a righteous act in today's world."

The well-dressed old man sitting in front of him, but with a large number of tattoos on his arms, spoke slowly in a magnetic voice.

Like most of the Valentino gang, he wears an exaggerated and dazzling golden cross on his chest.

But the clothes he wore were much simpler, just like an ordinary old man in Lin Qiao's era.

"20 euros, my child, the merciful God will save you from all disasters."

“…”

The expression on Lin Qiao's face froze for a moment.

For a moment, he thought that his dog-licking attitude had failed, but the happiness of others around him did not seem to be fake.

How should I put it, this price is a bit unexpected.

"Let's discuss it, Father, can we reduce it a little bit?"

"My children, although I also want to help you, considering the trouble you have caused, this is the lowest price I can offer, and the young master will not be happy anymore."

The priest looked equally embarrassed. Although he found the young man in front of him inexplicably pleasing to his eyes, sometimes rules are just rules.

If there is a breach because of this, will we still be able to do business in the future?

"Of course, if you are willing to join the Valentino Gang, you can be exempted from part of it. After all, the gangs are like family members, and there is no need for a reason to help family members."

"..."

Lin Qiao's head was full of black threads for a while, okay, his feelings are waiting for him here.

Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy.

"But please allow me to refuse your kindness, Father. I still need some time to think about the future."

Declined the other party's invitation.

For those who are generally desperate, the Valentino Gang is a good place to return. Although as a gang, the main income is naturally some black illegal industries, but compared to the Vortex Gang and Tiger Claw Gang, it is much better, at least internally The atmosphere is good.

But in Lin Qiao's eyes, this was completely an optional option.

"Anyway, don't worry about my share. Let's solve Lucy's identity first."

A trace of pity flashed in the priest's eyes, and then he shook his head.

"Okay friend, I respect your choice... But even if it's just this little girl, it still costs 14. Is there no problem?"

"No." He simply put a few chip cards on the table.

The priest's men took away the chip card. After confirming that it was correct, they nodded to the priest and then looked at Lucy.

"Very good. I remember your name is Lucyna Kushinada, right?"

"Come back in three days. By then, this little girl will be a native of Night City."

"As for the remaining money in the chip, I will transfer it directly to the newly created account for her."

Lin Qiao did not choose to object to this.

In a peaceful atmosphere, the priest in a good mood shook hands with Lin Qiao.

But what no one noticed was that the moment the priest shook hands with him, a small piece of blue slime emerged from Lin Qiao's palm and possessed the priest's body.

This small piece of genetic factor will continue to exert a dog-like attitude on the priest, ensuring that he will not directly investigate the exact origins of Lin Qiao and Lucy out of curiosity.

Or more simply, erase the necessary memories of him and certain people, and force everything to act like nothing happened.

"Hey, brother, how's it going? Is everything done?"

After walking out of the church door, Jack, who had been waiting outside the door to communicate with his friends from the Valentino Gang, came over.

"Thanks to the famous Jack Wills, everything goes well."

"No, let me tell you, the priest may be more expensive, but his services are absolutely reliable."

It can be heard that Jack is unusually confident in the priest - this may be related to the fact that he joined the Valentino Gang since he was a child.

If Mrs. Wells is equivalent to the mother in the hearts of the Valentino gang members, then the priest is probably equivalent to the father.

"By the way, you are not familiar with this place. Do you want me to take you around? Heywood's food is one of the best in Night City."

"Thank you Jack, but let's wait for another day. There are too many things to do when you first come to Night City."

"Hey, I almost forgot about this..."

Because they were not far away, the three of them walked all the way back to the Wild Wolf Bar from the church.

Because it was approaching the afternoon, there were already a lot more people inside, and there was a little more noise in the air.

After thanking Mrs. Wells in person, buying a bottle of tequila, and secretly giving it to the greedy Jack, Lin Qiao and Lucy set off on their way out with the strong man's farewell.

"But the money spent was actually more than expected, and it was only for one person's identity."

While waiting for the green light, Lin Qiao stretched out and sighed.

"But forget it, at least the first level of identity is completed. Let's talk about it later..."

"level one?"

After getting in the car, Lucy no longer had to play the role of a weak girl whose parents had died in the eyes of outsiders and could only rely on the big brother next door. Lucy quickly returned to her true nature.

"Isn't this okay now?" He raised his eyebrows, feeling a little confused about Lin Qiao's words.

"Okay, okay, but now it's just about maintaining daily life. If the opponent is Arasaka, just doing this is not enough."

"Anyway, believe me, the more identities you have, the better. You might be able to use them one day."

And speaking of it, there is also an opponent who is also a time traveler.

Thinking about it now, it was a good thing that he didn't share his identity with Lucy. At least the two could be separated to a certain extent... although it was actually useless.

"You are quite experienced..." He pouted his mouth and muttered something in a low voice.

"Back to business, where are we staying tonight?"

The hotel I stayed in before was blocked by the NCPD after the owner was raped by Lin Qiaoga.

Although all the evidence pointing to them had been dealt with, and a scavenger was involved, the NCPD was not too concerned about it. After a brief investigation of the scene, the case was hastily closed.

But the current situation is that they have to find a new place to live.

"How about... we just make do with it in the car?"

After hesitating for a moment, Lucy suggested.

Considering that the total net worth of the two of them is less than [-] euros now, it is best to save money until they have a stable income.

"It seems that you are young, but you already have the potential to be a housekeeper."

Lin Qiao laughed dumbly, reached out and rubbed her head hard, messing up her hair.

The latter immediately pushed his hand away, shrank his body closer to the car door, and hid a little further away.

"Don't be stupid, I'll take you to stay in the villa tonight."

As he finished speaking, a completely black "Lake Lady's Sword" sports car drove out from the branch road next to it, blocking right in front of the off-road vehicle.

Can't say it's blocking the road.

It should be said that the word "leading the way" is more appropriate.

The rustic off-road vehicle followed the streamlined luxury sports car, keeping a good distance between the two sides.

The man in the sports car had blue light flashing in his eyes.

Chapter 302 I have to find a way to make Arasaka my dog

North Oaks

Although it is part of Westbrook, there are no supermarkets or places to have fun here.

This is of course, after all, it is a residential area.

The most indispensable thing here is the vast villas and mansions.

The high-ranking CEO of the company, the most famous artist...etc., it can be said that the most prestigious people in Night City have settled here.

Because of this, the security here can be said to be quite high. Without permission, even if you want to enter from the air, you will be shot down by the turrets placed inside.
