Chapter 15: Castro and Lliy
Ryan and Ruth watched Kia's and the others leave the box.
Ryan sat most by the door, and Ruth sat at the innermost part of the circular sofa, and the two of them happened to face each other.
"Say it! Kid Lane, what do you want to ask me? If I knew, I'd tell you! ”
Seeing that Qi Ya and the others had already left, Ruth spoke to Ryan first.
"You robbed a batch of weapons from the Arasaka military industry a few weeks ago, and are they still in your hands?"
Ryan asked straight to the point, but didn't mention the old Mexican gang first.
"It's still in my hands, but that's what the Valentinos want, and I'd suggest you don't fight it."
The Valentino Gang?
Most of the members of the Valentino gang are of Mexican descent, and the culture of the gang is also dominated by Mexican culture, and the predecessor of the Valentino gang is the Mexican gang where Ruz once stayed.
A thought crossed Ryan's mind when he heard Ruth mention the Valentinos.
Could the Valentino gang also get biochips?
And where did you get the news about the Valentino gang?
"I'd like to be able to pick out a handy weapon from there, and I might be able to use it in the Arasaka Industrial Park."
Ryan asked tentatively, wondering if Ruth knew anything about the biochip.
Ruth thought for two seconds, but then spoke.
"If you only pick one, you can."
I don't know?
So why hasn't Ruth given the weapon to the Valentino gang until now? Did they make any deals?
Arasaka Operations Department, Arasaka Intelligence Department, Uncle De, Anthony and the Valentino Gang!
They all seem to be aware of the existence of the biochip, and they all want to fight for it.
Could Anthony just want to borrow his own hand to get the biochip first?
If Uncle De got the biochip to kill himself, then what did the rest of the people get the biochip for?
What exactly does a biochip do?!
Ryan was deep in thought, and it took a moment before he looked up at Ruth again.
"One more thing, Castro's Old Mexico gang leader, do you remember how he died?"
At the mention of the name Castro, Ruth was also obviously stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, but he just shook his head, and his expression seemed to be a little sad.
"I don't know, Castro is like my brother to me, but he was alive when I left the old Mexican gang, and it was more than two months after I came to Night City that I learned about his death from the other Mexican gang members who came to Night City, and I couldn't contact him for two months, and now that I think about it, he may have been gone then......"
"Did you think there was anything unusual about him when you left? For example, who you meet, and whether there is any change in your attitude? ”
Ryan seemed a little reluctant to give up, and continued to ask, although it was very unlikely that there was valuable information from Ruth's mouth.
Ruth recalled for a moment and spoke.
"I don't know who he met, but his attitude..... There is no change, if you insist on saying something abnormal, it may be that he readily agreed when I proposed to leave, and it seems that he still wants me to leave quickly, at that time I was also leaving, and I didn't care about this, and now I think about it at that time, his attitude was indeed a little abnormal. ”
Problematic!
The gang culture of the Mexican gang is very particular about righteousness and feelings, Ruth, as the second leader of the Mexican gang, Castro, as the boss, not only did not keep Russ, but urged him to go quickly, which is too abnormal!
Castro must know something! Maybe he knew that he was dying, or maybe he knew that the old Mexican gang would soon be inexplicably disbanded and reorganized into the current Valentino gang, so he felt that urging Ruth to leave quickly was actually protecting him!
"In August 2056, did you participate in an operation organized by Castro against a branch of the Arasaka Group?"
"August 2056? Right! It was a strange and sudden operation, it seemed to be an impromptu idea, and it was just like attacking the Arasaka group for the sake of attacking, without any plan or purpose, and the Arasaka group did not purge us afterwards! However, at that time, I was only the person in charge of the periphery and did not directly participate in the attack. ”
"Are all the people who participated in the attack still alive?"
Ryan seems to have caught a breakthrough again, and he can still find something if he goes down this line.
"I don't know, but the Valentino gang should know something about them."
Ryan also learned some things about the old Mexican gang through Ruth, and combined with the information provided by Anthony, if it is correct, the truth of the year will soon be revealed, and Ryan already has a guess in his heart.
Now what matters is what Anthony said to himself!
Ryan stood up and thanked Ruth for telling him what he knew today.
"You saved my life, it's a little thing."
Ruth said that the two left the box and parted at the door of the nightclub in the afterlife.
"I'll contact you before the operation starts, you can get Catherine back into the operation, Rhea and I are very happy, after Lliy's incident, she hasn't been involved in our operation again, only occasionally Kia will pull her to show up during some trades."
Hearing Ruth's words, Ryan said.
"She brought it up herself, and I didn't do anything, but as for Lliy?"
"Didn't Catherine and Kia tell you about Lliy?"
Ruth asked a little puzzled, and as he spoke, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his bag, took out one and smoked it himself, and after taking a puff, Ruth continued.
"Catherine and Lliy are both Kia's adopted sisters, and the two of them, one is a cyber hacker, and the other is proficient in martial arts and firearms, so they used to be a good pair."
"With complementary personalities and similar ages, they usually stay by Qiya's side, and after a long time, they have become very good friends."
"Unfortunately, Lliy stayed there forever to protect Catherine, and Catherine also thinks she killed Lliy, and I don't know exactly what happened.
"But since that time, he has never participated in our operations, but has locked himself in his house all day, and only occasionally goes out with us under the guidance of Kia."
After Ruth finished speaking, he threw away the cigarette in his hand and said something meaningful.
"Half of the people in Night City seem to be a bunch of wolf-hearted guys, and the other half is a bunch of people who value love and righteousness, and they all have their own way of survival, and that way of living will eventually become their way of dying."
"Boy Ryan, how did you survive in this cannibalistic Night City?"
Ryan didn't answer Ruth's question.
On the streets of Watson, the modified vehicles of the Vortex Gang sped by, and the NCPD's police car sirens followed closely behind.
The windows of the Vortex Gang rolled down, and two automatic rifles protruded from the windows, shooting at the police car behind without hesitation until the entire magazine was emptied.
The bullets only left shallow scratches on the police car, but the flying bullets killed and injured passers-by on the street.
The child who lost his mother next to the garbage dump hugged the body of his mother who had been hit by a bullet and cried bitterly, and there was a corpse in the garbage dump that had been hollowed out and smelled at some point.
The city's seven million people are slowly dying, and Night City is dying with them.
