Chapter 9: After Tonight
Night City at night is more charming than during the day, with opportunities and dangers filling every corner of this beautiful city, and the neon lights that pollute the eyes make the city as bright as the day, and at night, several areas of Night City are awakened.
Like a wolf awakened from sleep, it began to stretch out its paws and savor the delicacies of the night.
At the same time, hunters or prey have also gone out of the door, in Night City, often only company dogs will go home early, middle and low-level company dogs do not even dare to go to the bar to have fun, even if they go, they have to find a guide.
Compared to the broken jars of the poor, these company dogs are the ones who cherish their lives, they still want to climb up, and they want to live a better life, but if one accidentally provokes a madman...
You know? My friend, Night City at night, anything is possible, a wealthy and decent boss can easily control the life and death of a poor ghost with just one sentence, but a madman on the verge of despair can also drag the big guy into the water in despair.
Crazy people don't care what your identity is, and such a madman, there will be one in Night City every few days, and the danger is extremely terrifying, not to mention that Night City has all kinds of gangs.
Who knows how many stories will appear in Night City after this night passes?
Just like Stanley's bastard dead man's lotto, over the years, there have not been "big shots" on the big lottery
Hey, what kind of person, you ask, is considered a big shot?
You idiot!
Aren't rich people big shots?
Watson, the poor and backward little Chinatown also unfolds its charm at night, although this area is not controlled by any gangs, but there is no shortage of gangsters who come here to have fun, after all, it is the most famous nightclub in Night City - Afterlife.
Sasha walked into the afterlife with her bag on her back, blowing bubblegum while looking around at the scene.
"Hey, I thought you weren't going to accept my invitation today."
As soon as Sasha came in, in the crowd, a strong man wearing sunglasses and two meters tall raised his hand and grinned at Sasha, "Come on, kitten, let's continue to enjoy the good nightlife." ”
Approaching Sasha, Mann said with a grin.
"Boss, you can take it easy... How much money do you have on you now? ”
"It's okay to earn it if you don't have it, we guys, how can we live one day at a time, if we don't enjoy it?" Mann looked at Sasha indifferently and continued, "This is the life of a mercenary, my partner. ”
Sasha wanted to vomit, but after thinking about it, she just closed her mouth and sighed helplessly, she was now out of Mann's team, she shouldn't have talked about Mann's way of life and pointed fingers at Mann.
Following Mann into the cubicle, looking at the seated crowd, Sasha showed her trademark cat smile, and she greeted everyone present with a sunny smile.
"Hey, Rebecca!"
"Hey, Pila!"
"Good evening, Qi Wei, I have already checked all the information you asked me to check for you last time, and I will send it to you after integrating it in two days."
The well-proportioned tall woman wearing an iron mask nodded and said loudly, "Then I'll transfer the money to you now." ”
"It's a total of 1,200, thank you~" Sasha said to Qi Wei with a grin.
Qi Wei nodded, her eyes lit up, and she transferred the money to Sasha.
didn't talk about cash on delivery, after all, Qi Wei believes in Sasha's ability very much, she rarely admires other hackers, who do their business, they all think they are extraordinary, but seriously, Qi Wei thinks she is not as good as Sasha.
At least in terms of attack methods, Sasha is more powerful than her, she can easily crack network defenses, and even sneak into the network of large companies to find out information, this ability... It's amazing.
In addition, Sasha is a former hacker of Mann Team, and she is considered her "senior", so there is no reason to embarrass Mann for 1,200 euros.
After collecting the money, Sasha looked at the middle of the sofa again, where a short-haired muscular woman was raising her wine glass with a smile on the corner of her mouth and shaking it at Sasha.
"Oh! Dolio, didn't you say you had to take care of Mann? Sasha said immediately.
Dorio just smiled, and so did Mann behind Sasha.
The cat-like girl was very popular in the crowd, and she was greeting everyone in the cubicle with a smile on her face, and everyone responded to Sasha.
However, there was only one woman standing on one leg with one long leg gathered against the wall.
She has short hair with a combination of low-saturation pink and ice blue gradients, which will appear pink and white in the dim light, but will turn ice blue again when the wind blows. Her delicate little face was full of indifference, she smoked quietly, and there were beautiful marks on her lower eyelids and lower lip, like lip glaze? No, it's tattooed, and the color and realism are amazing.
"Lucy, good evening." Sasha greeted the girl and jumped up with a smile, her bubble head jumping with her.
The two women had the same length of hair, but one was pure black, and the other had an indescribable hair color, in short, Lucy's hair must be the most conspicuous in the crowd.
"Hmm." Nodding to Sasha, Lucy continued to smoke.
At this moment, a sneaky figure suddenly approached Lucy, and a pair of long, incomprehensible silver hands also reached out to Lucy.
"Pi LSA saw it, this guy Pila is really fucking dead!
This damn guy wanted to eat Sasha's tofu back then, and then was hacked by Sasha, and beat himself in front of Rebecca Mann and others, after knowing that his hacking level was completely inferior to Sasha's, and Sasha's temper was not good, Pyra was very honest, at least, he didn't dare to do anything to Sasha again.
But now, it's clear that Pyrrha has her eye on Lucy.
But I have to admit that the glamorous Lucy is really good-looking.
Pulling out a small pink pistol, Sasha shook it at the lewd man, baring her fangs and smiling, "Do you want to eat bullets?" ”
"Hit, shoot him! Kill me bastard dude! Rebecca shouted as she stood beside Sasha, hugging Sasha's waist.
"Calm down, calm down!" Pyrrha raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, but leaned on Lucy's place.
"Tsk!" With an impatient snort, Lucy's hair flashed, and a flash of lightning crackled, which made Pila, who just wanted to reach out and hug Lucy and shout in fear, tremble, and was shivering on the ground by electricity.
"Yes, that's how it should be done to him." Sasha approached Lucy, looked at Pila twitching on the ground, lifted her foot, and stepped her boot directly into Pila's face.
"Hmm." Lucy nodded.
"Come on, come over and drink, Sasha." Mann put his arm around Dolio, smiled and raised his glass, taking a big sip as he snorted in relief.
"Oh, boss, I'm not here for drink." Sasha stood next to Lucy, turned to Mann and continued, "Lin Wen, he asked me to bring you a message, Gloria's Sianwestein is not going to sell it to you, anyway, you haven't paid the deposit, so let's just assume that this incident didn't happen." ”
Mann took off his sunglasses, looked at Sasha, and asked in a deep voice, "What does Lin Wen mean by this?" ”
Rebecca muttered loudly beside her: "It's Lin Wen again, what kind of person is that guy named Lin Wen?" ”
"That Lin Wen is your little friend?" Pyrrha tilted her head to Sasha.
Sasha jerked her leg up, then stomped it down.
"Ahh Pyrrha screamed.
"Lin Wen told you to take it easy, your current body can no longer be fitted with prosthetics, you have to train and train more, and you have to wait until you get used to the current prosthetic body before you continue to think about pretending to be prosthetics, otherwise you will not be far from a madman."
Sasha took on the microphone.
Mann's face grew darker.
Knowing this, Kivi whistled secretly, and then she looked at Mann's face, as if trying to read something from Mann's expression.
Dorio shook Mann's arm hard, she knew Mann's situation best, Mann... His prosthetic body had already been out of control a few times.
"He's not on my team, I'm not one of his men, and I'm not obligated to listen to him." Mann looked at Sasha and said in a deep voice: "Tell him, I don't want Sianweistan, Gloria should have paid me a penalty for this, but for his sake, I don't want it either." ”
"That's not going to work," Sasha's expression became a little embarrassed.
"What?"
"He said that if you don't listen to him, you will become a cyber maniac that day, and he will take off your head himself."
"Click!"
Rebecca directly pulled out her gun, looked at Sasha angrily, and she yelled, "Sasha, who the fuck are you on?" How many years have you known us, and how many years have you known him? We are in a life-and-death relationship! ”
"If he can do it, then let him try it! Watch me shoot his dog's head! He's pretending to him! Stinky idiot! ”
Sasha only smiled at Rebel's anger, then shook her head and said, "You don't understand, Rebecca, you don't understand him." ”
"Everyone is a life, do I need to get to know him? How? He's got an extra life for me, isn't he? Everyone is poor, what kind of company man is he pretending? He wants to control Mann, you let him come! Rebecca yelled angrily.
She regards Mann Team as her home, Mann is the head of the family, and now, someone threatens her head of the family! Of course she'll be angry!
She'll agree that there's a ghost!
Pila also got up from the ground, her long arms hanging down, and Pila looked at Sasha with some disappointment.
She seems to have really left Mann Team.
Lucy and Qi Wei each stood on one side, and they both watched silently.
But to Qiwei's surprise, Dolio, who has always protected and loved Mann, heard Sasha's words, but he didn't speak angrily.
So that man named Lin Wen...
Qi Wei was suddenly curious.
In the same way, Lucy thought about this layer, and she quietly watched the situation in the private room, listening to the exchange between Sasha and Mann and the others.
"That's enough, Sasha, don't say any more, I don't want it to be so unpleasant between us." Dorio spoke.
"Dolio, I'm just passing on a message, I certainly don't want our relationship to deteriorate. But Mann, you know your condition best. Sasha looked at Mann and saw that he didn't refute it, so she knew that what Lin Wen said was true.
Mann... His spirit had reached its limit.
Mann held his arm and looked at Sasha gloomily.
"I admit that he is very strong, but I am not bad, if Lin Wen thinks he can take off my head..."
Sasha hurriedly interrupted Mann and said, "Mann, after tonight, you'll understand." ”
"What do you mean?" Rebecca's eyes turned blood-red, and her small hand in the black sleeve clenched the small submachine gun, "He's coming over tonight?" ”
"I mean, wait for tomorrow's news, and you'll understand he's serious."
Sasha spoke.
