Walking into the afterlife bar, the atmosphere here is still exactly the same as before.

Business is still booming, and a lot of people come to talk about business.

"Hey! Wei Lan ~ How's it going? ”

Jack greeted with a smile on his face.

"Okay, old look, go inside, she's waiting for you to come."

Wei Lan smiled faintly and got out of the way.

They went straight to the seat where Rogge often sits, and Jack greeted Weilan warmly, after all, they had all crossed the Arasaka Tower together.

It's also a fateful friendship, and Jack is originally this character.

And An Jie and V also nodded and said hello,

After entering the seat, Rogge had already set up four glasses of wine waiting for them.

"What the hell is going on? Can you use me? ”

An Jie sat down and asked her.

And took a sip of the wine glass on the table, not vodka, but whiskey, which is also among the ranks of spirits,

But he prefers vodka.

"It's just a small thing, I'm going to retire, this bar, you take care of it for me, I'm tired after so many years."

The corners of Rogge's mouth rose and he replied with a slight smile.

However, as soon as these words came out, Jack and V were shocked even with Weilan.

"What?!" X3

"Why? Johnny and Hammer's death makes you feel tired? ”

An Jie put down the cup and asked with a frown.

"yes, I've been in Night City for decades, and it's time to stop, I originally went to Arasakata with Johnny and didn't expect to come back alive,"

"But I did come back alive...... So retirement is the best option. ”

Rogge took his glass and drank it down.

For decades, some people died before they even lived to this age,

At this time, if you don't retreat, when will you wait?

"So I'm going to leave the afterlife as a gift to you juniors,"

"It should be passed on~ Maybe if you meet the juniors who appreciate it in the future, you can also learn from me and alternate your juniors in the future."

"And you're the new legend of Night City, and you're qualified to succeed me."

Rogge's eyes were full of appreciation, staring at V.

In some ways, V resembles her back then......

"But...... Rogge, you're the queen of the middleman! I'm afraid you'll have to lose half of the big business when you're gone...... And we may not manage it well. ”

V also said with a confused face.

She's just a street mercenary, and she's never been exposed to the affairs of management.

"Didn't I come here like this, believe in your own abilities, kid."

"Every stage of life has new challenges, you have passed the trials of life and death, the temptation of fame and fortune, is it difficult to manage a bar now?"

Rogge shook his head and persuaded.

As a senior, she can not teach much, people have to go through many stages in their lives,

And V's next stage will be to learn how to be a good manager, a new middleman queen who can take her place.

Connections have to be pulled by themselves,

Rogge has been like this for so many years.

It wasn't easy to take Rogge's place.

"So ~ goodbye V, good luck."

Rogge said and stood up and patted V's shoulder, a solemn inheritance.

With that, she left straight from the other side of the seat, but before leaving, she came to Weland, who was standing in front of the seat.

patted the young man's arm and said:

"From now on, you young people, you have to stay together,"

"Remember to let Night City remember your names."

Hearing this, Wei Lan took a deep breath and nodded solemnly, Rogge can be regarded as his aunt,

After all, she is the only legendary figure left among the original heroes, and under the dual entrustment of the two identities of elders and seniors,

Naturally, Weilan would not refuse this, besides, Jack had a good relationship with him,

It should allow him to gradually integrate with V and Jack.

After saying that, Rogge smiled with relief and turned to leave, and the moment she walked to the door,

He stopped hesitantly, and finally glanced at the whole picture of this afterlife bar, and the farewell is always painful, especially the kind that is put into the effort......

"Goodbye afterlife......"

After Rogge said this to himself, he walked out of the bar door no longer,

And An Jie and others watched the older generation of legends leave.

"It seems that you have a lot of new things to learn in the future~ the new middleman queen."

An Jie smiled in a mocking tone at this time.

For Rogge's surprise, he was not as surprised as V or Jack,

The replacement of the old and the new is inevitable and has not changed.

"That's it! V has now become the queen of the new middleman, and there will be no middleman to get a piece of the pie in the future~ Aren't we earning more? ”

Jack also immediately adjusted the atmosphere and smiled.

But he forgot that they couldn't do this kind of business for the rest of their lives.

When you are old, you will be forced to retreat into the background.

But V was stunned at this time, staring at the table in silence.

Looking at V's eyes, An Jie frowned,

She has something on her mind! And it's not small...... The main thing is that V didn't tell him.

"We need to talk, come with me."

An Jie suddenly grabbed V's arm and got up and said.

Since she didn't say it, it must be serious, otherwise it couldn't be this expression.

“mano？ What are you doing? Shouldn't we celebrate now? ”

Jack asked, with a puzzled look on his face.

"You drink some wine yourself, V and I have something to talk about separately."

An Jie explained and pulled on V, walked out of the bar and stepped on the elevator at the door.

This rooftop is a nice solitary environment,

It's just as inconspicuous if it's not noisy.

In addition to the floating cars flying in front of you from time to time, the cool breeze blows, which is quite pleasant, but the residential houses on both sides block the view.

"Tell me, what are you hiding from me?"

"Is it true that Relic still has sequelae?"

An Jie stood on the rooftop and asked in an unhappy tone.

He helped her so much, but he didn't expect V to choose to hide himself!

"It's nothing, I just ......"

"Shit! When am I a fool? Do you get up at night to go to the bathroom when I don't hear a cough? The blood you cough up also tastes,"

"Originally, I thought you would be fine in a few days, but now it seems ......"

Anjie interrupted V very dissatisfiedly and asked.

Although he sleeps well, he wakes up whenever he moves.

It's a good habit to develop in the wasteland.

At this point, V understands that he can't hide it from An Jie, so he can only tell the whole story......

"I don't have more than six months to live......"

V took a deep breath and replied with a dejected expression.

"Relic completely revamped your body, isn't it, and now it's only Johnny?"

An Jie asked with a frown when he heard this.

The only thing he could guess was that Relic had been transformed, and V was now like an outsider like Johnny back then.

Constantly rejected and expelled by their own bodies.

"That's right, in cyberspace, Ott temporarily told me that the situation was irreversible......"

V smiled wryly with a sad face.

I've done so much, but I'm still going to die after all......

"Really...... Is there a cure? Can you just wait for death with peace of mind? ”

"There should be, remember that ad? Nanobioremediation technology. ”
