Chapter 1: The Famous V
Wolf Bar.
A girl was sitting alone at the bar, facing the pretty face in the electronic mirror screen, pinching the bridge of her nose and looking horizontally and vertically at the corners of her mouth and the arch of her nose for bruises and hematomas.
Apparently.
In the mirror, she has a handsome face that is round and delicate, her lips are full and sexy, and her slightly raised arc is slightly stubborn.
The owner of this ceiling-level sweet and lovely appearance has a pair of cold eyebrows and eyes, which are extremely sharp, and always have a taste of looking at who is unhappy.
Contrary to this girl's appearance, it is her unique aesthetics, her makeup is fashionable, and her red, green and purple colors and clothes dare to greet her.
Her shaggy hair was dyed in a variety of colors, and her heavy slanted bangs almost covered half of her face.
Even such an exaggerated dress can't hide the beauty of the girl's bones.
Just as she endured the swelling and pain, and examined the wound, the bartender next to her, Pepi, handed over a glass of wine and placed it on the table.
"V, come on, anesthesia anesthesia"
"I'll ask you."
V did not hesitate to take this 'carefulness', and directly picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
With the strength of the wine, V firmly fixed the dislocated bridge of his nose with both hands and twisted it vigorously.
I only heard a 'click' of bones, and then the reset was completed.
The soreness coming from the bridge of her nose came directly to her brain, almost causing her to shed two tears.
"the horse."
"Bad luck."
I don't know if this voice is scolding myself for not being angry, or scolding this long-lost night city.
As soon as V came back from outside the city, he saw a bold robber, and he was quite unhappy when he estimated that the other party wanted to rob him.
She fought hard to catch the other party and beat him hard.
After getting the other party, when she returned to the wolf bar, she found that she had a blue nose and swollen face, and she was beaten a little badly.
After Pepi cared for two words without pain, his face began to become heavy, as if there was something unspeakable.
He knew that V would eat this set, and it would be difficult for him to see his friends.
She is a well-known person in this way.
V couldn't help but feel a little helpless when he saw the sour look of the honest Pepi, he drank other people's wine, and he should have done some help.
"If you have something to say, you're in trouble."
When Pepi heard that V was willing to help, he knew that it would definitely work out.
Despite the fact that V has been away from Night City for two years, the limelight is not as strong as it used to be.
But she has been mixing on this road since she was a child, and she has a very good relationship with the serpent priest Sebastian, as long as she is willing to come forward, everything is easy to do.
The big man Peppi didn't care about any face, and sighed and told his difficult words.
Hopefully, V can help him find Kirk and solve the trouble of not paying the money he owes, otherwise Kirk will find someone to break his leg.
Kirk also mixed up on Haywood Road, his main business was loan sharking, and he had a gang background, and he was ruthless to those who didn't pay back the money.
Pepi explains to V that he recently borrowed some money from Kirk to celebrate his good brother's release from prison, and now he can't pay it back.
Regarding the honest Pepi's statement, V doesn't think it's really credible.
However, she didn't care about this, and after understanding the specific situation, she planned to go to Kirk to blend and blend.
Sure enough, as Pepi expected, after being beaten by V and educated, she still agreed to help.
V himself is also poor jingle, and he can't take out a single one of his mixed bodies, I really don't understand what the robber thinks, and he is actually ready to rob himself, it's really outrageous.
So Pepi's trouble must not be solved with money, and she plans to exchange it according to the rules of the road.
According to Pepi, Kirk is now on the second floor, and tomorrow is the final deadline to pay the money back.
V got up and left the bar and went straight to the second floor to find Kirk, where he was seated in a booth reading a car magazine.
She stepped forward unceremoniously, sat directly across from Kirk, and said straight to the point.
"What do you want to do with Pepi?"
Kirk didn't even lift his eyelids, and said in a deep voice wearing sunglasses: "V, I haven't seen you for a long time, his account hasn't reached the point yet, don't worry."
V pushed away the fat man who was about to sit next to him, and interrupted Kirk bluntly: "Don't be verbose, don't talk about professional ethics in front of me, it's natural to repay debts, but Peppi has no money now." ”
"I owe you a personal favor and give him some leniency."
Kirkpi didn't smile: "Do you think I look like a charity?" ”
V said in a deep voice: "You think it's useless, I think it's okay." ”
Kirk pressed the cigarette butt out in the ashtray, and saw that V looked stubborn, and knew that this was a mother with a bit of a brain, and if he offended this kind of person, he would not be remembered every day.
"Okay, then let's follow the rules of the road, you do something for me, Pepi's account will be waived, and I can pay you an extra sum of money, what do you think?"
After listening to this solution, V was quite in line with her reality, there was no money, and the strength to work was sufficient, and she completely forgot about the fact that she was beaten and her face was swollen just now.
"I think this is a good stroke, say, what kind of work?"
Kirk tossed the car magazine on the table, which featured the Rayfield Supercoupe, and the pages were constantly changing, detailing the shapes and parameters of the expensive sports cars.
V picked up the magazine on the table, looked at it casually, and confirmed that it was a valuable guy he couldn't afford.
Kirk also explained: "The supercars you see, there are four of them in the whole of Night City. ”
"One is in the name of the regional director of Rayfield, one is in the name of Mayor Lane, and one is in the name of the rental car company."
"The fourth car, after you finish your errand, it should fall into my customer's name."
V quickly realizes that Kirk means to let himself steal the expensive sports car.
But the people who own these sports cars, each of them is either rich or expensive, and they all have a well-known name in Night City, and stealing such a valuable sports car, if the operation fails, the end is probably not as simple as a blue nose and swollen face.
She put down the car magazine in her hand and asked in a deep voice, "Who is the owner?" ”
Kirk saw V's suspicions and explained with a pretense of ease.
"A man in a Arasaka suit who came back from out of town."
"But don't worry, this car has been in the underground parking garage of the Ember Nightclub for more than half a year and has not been touched, and the dust has fallen several layers."
"These rich lords have too many toys in their hands, and they may have forgotten that there is such a Rayfield."
Kirk told the whole plan by the way, with the help of the underground garage security guard, he only needed to walk into the underground garage, spend a few minutes to find the Rayfield, and swagger away after cracking it.
Arasaka's?
V knows that there are few people in the entire Night City who dare to mess with Arasaka, not to mention that those who can afford to drive such a sports car are at least a character in Arasaka Company.
The valuable Rayfield was thrown into the embers underground garage to eat ashes, how big is this experience, either high-level or top-level tycoons.
She quickly made a prediction in her heart, stealing a luxury car is very risky, and if she is caught, she will explain it there nine times out of ten.
Although she is not afraid of heaven and earth, she still wants to find out more information in line with the principle of being bold and careful.
"Name, position, movement."
Kirk said impatiently, "How do I know this? ”
He placed a black mold on the table and asked, "This thing can bypass identity authentication and start the vehicle's engine directly, and the principle is as simple as operating a car engineering vehicle." ”
"V, you are a smart person, everyone knows your style, do it or not, give a happy word."
V got up decisively, picked up the cracking mold on the table, and said, "Isn't it just a trolley, I did this job." ”
After speaking.
In front of Kirk, V stepped directly onto the booth table, stepped on the car magazine, held the second-floor fence with one hand, turned over and jumped, and landed directly in the hall from the second floor of the bar, and then walked calmly to the back door and walked out of the wolf bar.
Having just passed through a dark back alley, I suddenly found my old friend, Father Priest, standing in front of a black sedan with his men, who seemed to be on the phone.
Seeing V coming out of the back alley of the bar, the priest greeted with a somewhat surprised smile: "Look who is back, V, long time no see, I didn't even know you were back." ”
When he met an old acquaintance, V's mood finally changed a little, and he said with a smile: "I just came back from Atlanta, how have you been all these years, Father?" ”
The priest looked kind and said in a flat tone.
"Heywood is still the same."
"But I can see that you are returning home."
"Get in the car, kid, and give you a ride."
The priest invited V to get in the car, intending to give her a ride and chat about the current situation.
The three got into the car.
V took the initiative to report the destination, and the priest asked the driver to drive to the said address first, the Ember Nightclub in the Valley area.
The priest asked about V's situation in Atlanta, and she hadn't seen her for more than two years, and she was now good-looking.
V laughed to himself, "If it was better than Night City, I wouldn't be too lazy to come back." ”
After saying that, she suddenly remembered something again, and it was just right to ask the priest.
"Oh yes, Father, has anything changed in the city of these two Chinese New Year's Eve? For example, on the road. ”
V has just returned to Night City, and it is not so much a return to his hometown as a return to his hometown.
She plans to return to her old career as a mercenary and take on some work to eat, so it is necessary to know what is happening on the road in advance.
The priest pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The road is basically the same as two years ago, if you want to say that this year's movement is relatively big, it is Watson Kabukicho, and those girls in Mox are now gaining momentum." ”
"But there is indeed a new middleman on the road, who is the new owner of Lizzy Bar, who is very strong, and he is considered a celebrity in the circle, and many mercenaries go to Lizzy Bar to find work."
Mox?
Lizzy Bar?
V was no stranger to these terms, she remembered that when she left two years ago, the Mox Gang was just a small gang, and although Lizzy's Bar was thriving, it didn't get involved in the mercenary business.
Under the priest's explanation, V learned about the conflict between Mox and the Tiger Claw Gang, as well as the new owner of Lizzy Bar.
She couldn't help but be a little curious, what kind of strange woman could do this, and asked bluntly: "What is the origin of the new owner of Lizzie Bar, it is not easy to kill in the land of Night City." ”
The priest nodded and explained, "It is said that there is a company background, and it is likely to be related to the Arasaka company. ”
"I see, if it is a Arasaka background, it makes sense, but working hard for Arasaka is not a hero, and the company has nothing good." When V learns the truth, his original curiosity disappears without a trace.
The priest saw V's thoughts, took out an identity card from his coat pocket and handed it to her: "Take it, child, there is a chance to cooperate, as it was two years ago." ”
V accepted the card without hesitation, the priest's status and credibility in the Tao were completely trustworthy, and Kirk's second-rate son could not compare at all.
She thought to herself that when she had settled Pepi's account this time, she would come to the priest to do some commissioning.
It didn't take long.
The entrance to the underground parking lot of the destination Ember Nightclub is here.
Although the people of the Sixth Street Gang blocked the road halfway and delayed for a while, it did not affect V to continue to steal the car.
V said goodbye to the priest, then pushed the door open and made his way to the underground garage.
Ember Restaurant.
A private seat by the window.
Tang Yu and Gloria were seated across the table and were having dinner together.
With her red hair curled over her shoulders, her hands clutching knives and forks, her eyebrows slightly lowered, and she fiddled with her meal, as if she was a little absent-minded.
After learning that Tang Yu was back, Gloria thought about it and made up her mind to find a suitable reason, and finally asked Tang Yu to have dinner together.
The reason is that she has important work to report in person, and the timing happens to be stuck during dinner.
Gloria's face was slightly red, and she glanced at Tang Yu twice, and found that he was sitting upright, his expression was calm, and he didn't seem to feel strange because of what happened in the carriage last time, and everything was still as usual.
on this.
Gloria couldn't help but feel a hint of loss in her heart.
She deliberately changed into that long dress today, the one she wore when she first met Tang Yu in the Ember Nightclub, and bought it directly from the store with full money.
At that time, she was actually a little reluctant to rent it back, and when she saw that the dress was still there, she made a decisive move.
However, judging from Tang Yu's performance, she didn't seem to remember this dress, and she didn't mention anything from beginning to end.
In order to prepare this dinner, Gloria even deliberately chose the original private seat, close to the panoramic floor-to-ceiling glass windows.
Everything is to restore the scene when I met Tang Yu for the first time.
And this time there was no David around.
Gloria's Xiao Jiujiu kept thinking in her heart, sometimes a little embarrassed about her initiative, and sometimes a little distressed about Tang Yu's seriousness.
She couldn't help but think of the scenes in the carriage that day, when Tang Yu spoke, he was not as serious and gentle as now, it was painful.
Although the two had already had a lingering relationship, Gloria somehow felt even more empty when facing Tang Yu.
I feel like a thief who has stolen the gems he deserves, wanting to own them but fearing that they will be returned to their rightful owners.
But the most important thing is to be able to go out to dinner together, if nothing else.
It should be all right tonight.
With that in mind.
Gloria's cheeks couldn't help but appear a flush, as if she was slightly drunk.
Tang Yu saw that Gloria barely moved the plate, and thought that she had no appetite, so he asked, "What, is it uncomfortable?" ”
"No, no, no, no discomfort." Gloria was worried that he had misunderstood, so she quickly explained, and then pretended to eat two bites of vegetable leaves, which were tasteless.
Tang Yu talked about his work seriously: "How is the current situation of Lizzy Bar? ”
Gloria truthfully reported the recent situation of Lizi, and the revenue increased after the renovation and renovation, and the income was quite considerable.
It's just that there are a lot of troubles and frictions with customers on Mox's side due to the sudden addition of too many newcomers, but it is all solved by the little sister Rita Wheeler.
For the management of Mox's large group of girls, there is still some trouble, and it will take some time to train slowly.
Tang Yu felt that it was inevitable that there would be too many people, and he had to slowly set rules for the girls of Mox, and he couldn't follow his previous temperament.
Gloria has always kept Tang Yu's words in mind, but her current concern is not in Lizzy Bar, but in the future.
Seeing that Tang Yu finished his meal and picked up a napkin to wipe his hands, Gloria asked glutinously, "Mr. Tang, if there are no other arrangements, I."
The words are not finished yet.
Tang Yu suddenly received a communication request.
NCPD?
He couldn't help but feel a little strange how the NCPD could call at this time.
Soon.
The waiter at Ember Restaurant also came over, as if he had something to say.
Tang Yu asked the waiter to wait, connect to the communication first, and listen to the situation.
The sheriff on the other end of the line immediately explained the situation.
"Hello Mr. Tang, NCPD Senior Superintendent Stings found during his inspection of the Valley area that the Refield sports car in your name, parked in the underground parking lot of the Ember Club, was stolen by criminals, and the suspect has been captured, according to the NCPD's security protocol with your company, you can choose"
Stolen from Rayfield?
Tang Yu then remembered that about half a year ago, his old boss Arthur Jenkins gave him a Rayfield.
At that time, he just looked at the vehicle authentication chip casually, and he didn't care about it from beginning to end, and he had long forgotten that there was still this stubble.
After all, luxury cars are nothing new to him, and a lot of luxury cars have been thrown in the garage to eat ashes before.
He was just about to make the NCPD business, when something suddenly occurred to him, and he immediately changed his words.
"Okay, I got it."
"I happened to be in the embers, now go down and take a look."
After communicating with NCPD, Tang Yu decided to go down to see the situation.
In 2077, he was all too familiar with stealing Rayfield from the underground garage of the Ember Club.
Could it be that V is back?
Back then, after he fired the Arasaka squid, he followed Jack to Ember to steal Rayfield and met V.
The waiter on the side also explained his intentions, and wanted to ask Tang Yu to go to the underground parking garage to confirm the theft, saying that the Ember Club would properly handle it according to his requirements.
Tang Yu only now found out that the three of them were really bold back then, if they hadn't met Heywood's acquaintance Stins.
Either you're going to jail, you're going to be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks, you're going to be beaten up by the Ember Club thugs.
Tang Yu stood up and was about to leave the table, and Gloria also quickly got up, her eyes could not hide the look of loss.
Tang Yu looked at Gloria and explained directly: "I have a little urgency to deal with here, and the account has been settled, so let's go first and see you back." ”
Gloria replied stunned, "Mr. Tang, see you later."
After speaking, Tang Yu, accompanied by the waiter, walked towards the elevator room.
Gloria wanted to stop Tang Yu and say something, but she gave up again, after all, now that he was in a hurry, he couldn't force it.
She felt extremely remorseful, and she knew that she should do business first, and then eat.
I secretly made up my mind that no matter what I said next time, I would personally drive to pick up Mr. Tang
Underground parking.
The waiter respectfully led Tang Yu and walked towards the VIP parking area.
Before he got too close, Tang Yu saw several NCPD cars flashing red and blue lights at the end of the parking lot.
The formation is not small.
The attendant explained the situation, and the VIP parking area is equipped with an anti-theft system for each exclusive vehicle, and even if the vehicle is cracked, the security system will notify the corresponding service unit if there is the slightest movement.
Just like Tang Yu is a member of Ember Restaurant, then Ember Restaurant will 'watch' Rayfield for him.
Tang Yu went straight to the scene of the car theft, only to see that the scissor door of the blue beast was open, and the vehicle authentication system and anti-theft system were undoubtedly cracked.
In front of the car, four NCPD sheriffs pointed their guns at the burglars lying on the ground, and shouted warnings.
"Be honest with me!"
NCPD Senior Inspector Stens, who was crouching in front of the thief, seemed to recognize her identity, and when he saw the owner of the car coming, he got up to report.
"Mr. Tang, the thief has been apprehended, she is Heywood's gangster, we will take her away so as not to get in your way, and you may need to cooperate with some investigations in the future."
Tang Yu ignored Stings's words, this senior inspector was also from Heywood, and he just wanted to find a reason to take the thief away, and then secretly found an opportunity to let him go.
What he wanted to confirm now was who the person who was lying on the ground and was not very honest.
Especially the exaggerated style of clothing, and the iconic colorful hair.
Tang Yu squatted in front of her and reached out to pry up her stubborn chin, only then did he see the appearance under the heavy bangs.
Tang Yu's heart suddenly fluttered.
V-sub.
Sure enough, it was her.
I didn't expect V to really come back.
His eyes burned, staring at her countenance, surveying every detail of her face.
With a handsome face, sharp eyes, and that sexy little mouth, I can't help but want to take a bite when I see it.
Time.
The memories that I had experienced with V Zi in my mind instantly poured out, drowning out all the noise around me like a tide.
Now.
His eyes were full of this insanely beautiful woman.
V glared at the man in front of him, and was pried by the strange man's chin, just looking straight at him.
The first time I was so offended by a strange man, it really added fuel to the fire.
Originally, she was very unhappy when she was caught stealing a car, but now she is being treated like this by a company dog, and a nameless fire suddenly swelled in her heart.
Look at the mud horses!
V unceremoniously opened her mouth and bit the man's index finger, the finger that pried her chin.
She bit very hard, and said that she would make this person who was slighter of her pay for everything, and she had a long memory.
Barefoot is not afraid to wear shoes!
V bit Tang Yu's index finger tightly, and in order to prevent him from breaking free, he even wrapped the whole finger in his mouth.
Bites for a few seconds.
She suddenly noticed that the man in front of her didn't seem to react, neither screaming nor punching her in the nose like everyone else did.
She sensed something was wrong, and looked up at him.
For the first time, their eyes collided.
V was stunned.
She noticed that the man was looking at her.
It was the first time she had been looked at like this by a man, and she had watched it for so long and so seriously.
From his pupils, V saw his own figure, his own face, as if it occupied all his sight.
His eyes seemed to tremble, and there was an indescribable emotional flow, as if he was an old friend, and it seemed to be a fate.
V was stunned and unconsciously let go of his teeth.
Tang Yu took his finger out of her mouth at this time, and there was a circle of bloody tooth marks.
He closed his gaze, pasted the saliva and blood stains on his index finger on V's face, stood up, and said to Stens.
"Thank you for your hard work, I'll deal with the rest, it's not a theft, after all, she is the owner of this car now."
Stinston was puzzled and looked at V, who was lying on the ground.
Could it be that the other party wants to give the car to the car thief?
Even V's eyes widened and he didn't know why.
After confirming Tang Yu's idea of not pursuing the matter, Stings asked his subordinates to untie her handcuffs.
Since the original owner did not say that he would be held responsible, they also saved some trouble.
Stings quickly led people away from the scene.
Only then did V Zi get up from the ground, dusted off his body, and said bluntly: "Mr. Tang, I owe you a personal favor for this matter." ”
"My name is V, you can come to Heywood for me in the future."
"As for you to give me the car, you don't have to, it's useless."
"It's not early, if it's okay, I'll go back first, don't send me"
With that, V got up and left, walking towards the exit of the underground parking lot, still muttering bad luck in his mouth.
"Stop." Tang Yu ordered in a deep voice.
V stopped and turned his head, his face a little ugly.
"What else do you want, your car is not lost or broken, I have written down this favor, and I promise to return it to you in the future."
Tang Yu said with some amusement: "Miss V's favor is really big enough, but who said that I gave you this car." ”
"You touched this car and cracked the identity authentication system, so I decided to sell this car to you so that you don't steal."
"You have to collect this car today, and you have to collect it if you don't collect it."
"As for the price, I can give you a discount."
V was speechless for a moment, but unexpectedly, the other party was not joking at all, and directly transferred the vehicle authentication authority.
The information of the owner of this blue beast was immediately changed to the information of V.
"You"
V was stunned.
Tang Yu didn't care about her reaction, turned around and sat down in Rayfield, and continued: "Miss V Zi remember to work hard for the next period of time, and don't think about hiding until you pay off your debts. ”
"If you can't find a good job, try it at Lizzy Bar, just say I recommend it."
"By the way, this car will be rented to me once today, and you will pay off the debt of 10,000 euros."
After speaking, Tang Yu started the engine, and the roar of the blue beast resounded throughout the underground garage, and the engine waves rolled out.
V was still stunned, his head full of question marks.
She wondered if she had committed a water reversal today.
After coming back, he was robbed, then took a bad job of stealing a car, was caught on the spot, and was molested by a strange man, inexplicably received a supercar, and owed a huge debt.
After doing it for a long time, the car was driven away.
She suddenly reacted, the man kept shouting at V, V, she hated this nickname, V was her favorite name, so she warned sternly.
"My name is V!"
Tang Yu smiled: "I know Miss V, good luck." ”
With that, he closed the scissor door and started the car with one foot on the accelerator.
She could only watch as the supercar burst out of the underground parking garage.
V:“??? ”
