......

It's been three days since the last contact, and the last message sent was, "I'm in Little Chinatown, and the Tiger Claw Gang is eyeing me." ”

The Tiger Claw Gang is a yakuza formed by members of Japanese descent who are entrenched in Japantown. They are fierce and tyrannical, and their appearance is terrifying. Katana, street motorcycles, and glowing tattoos are their hallmarks. The Tigerclaw also have ties to a variety of company executives, who often go to their arena to have fun or vent their emotions. They are particularly closely associated with Arasaka, who are known to always leave the dirty work to the gang and pay them with high-end gear and military weapons.

Looking at the information sent by Arasaka Tsuki, Alan fell into anxiety: "It seems that the Arasaka counterintelligence people hired the Tiger Claw Gang to kidnap Neo, time is pressing, I have to go to Watson District." I hope Neo can hold on for a little longer, I don't want to collect the body. ”

"Hey, Jason, I have a list here, can you take it? Okay, we'll see you in an hour. ”

In the afterlife, this exclusive nightclub in the Watson district is an icon of Night City. Owned and operated by Rogge, the nightclub is a mass target for marginalists of all stages. Whether it's a date with a contact, throwing away a package, or just having a drink, there's always something to come.

What? You don't know Rogge?

She's Night City's most powerful middleman, owning and running the afterlife. Cyberpunk icon, former mercenary, world modifier. Ever since she became a leading figure among the Edgewalkers decades ago, she has been living a quiet life in Night City. But even though she's retired, her influence in Night City is still as strong as it was back then, and if you're lucky enough to witness it firsthand, you won't doubt it.

When she was younger, she was a professional mercenary, and now, she is the king of intermediaries. She's Night City's last legend, and it's not just a word of mouth. Unlike her friends in the Golden Years, Rog doesn't have to struggle for survival, she's the boss of the afterlife, and almost the entire network of mercenaries in Night City is here. Every big business requires her nod.

An hour later, Alan parked the car firmly in front of the afterlife nightclub.

"In the next life, I seem to be here for the first time, and I have been busy with work for the past six months, and I have been pushed off several gatherings." Alan got out of the car and walked straight to the door of the nightclub.

The gatekeeper was a strong man named Emerrick; "Who are you?"

"My name is Alan."

"What, does that name come in for a long time?"

"Yes, I'll come to Jason."

Emmeric: "Hey, Jason. There's a guy named Alan coming for you. Good. Come in, Jason is waiting for you inside. ”

"Thank you."

The door to the afterlife slowly opened, and after walking in, the green neon hue, accompanied by the pop song of the martial arts band, made people's blood boil.

"Hey, over here! Allen! In a room not far away, Jason was shouting Alan's name.

Alan then beckoned.

"Long time no see, Hermano (brother)" As soon as they met, Jason gave Alan a big hug, and I have to say that he has changed a lot now compared to half a year ago. The original exaggerated hairstyle has changed to a punk style of short hair, and the dress is more mature, with a crimson blazer and a gold cross hanging from the chest.

"Long time no see, brother." Alan also felt a sense of familiarity that he had not felt in a long time.

"Let me introduce you. Sergey, Marcus, Louise. ”

Sergei is a standard Russian strong man, with short blond hair, thick muscles, and a height of 1.9 meters, plus his gorilla arms and titanium skeleton. If he wants, he can punch through a concrete pillar.

Marcus is an African-American technologist, and what you see as a strange bolt or nut or scrap metal is a work of art to a great technologist. You press the button and the device starts working; Technologists know why it works and how to make it better. They're the kind of people who grow up to take the device apart and look at it and put it back on. They are also needed where hardware and software are involved, and Mewtwo Experience editing is a common example.

Louise is a hacker on the team, but she's a bit young, she looks to be eighteen or nineteen, and wears a green coat with a large fluorescent skull on the back.

In fact, before Jason's introduction, Alan had already dug out all the details of this circle of people after a glance. Ailan smiled slightly, and greeted politely: "Fortunately, everyone." I'm Alan. ”

"Claire! Serve the wine here! Jason shouted loudly to a bartender in the distance.

"Okay, Jason, what do you want to do?" Claire placed the freshly wiped wine glass.

"Two glasses of old-fashioned tequila, with some beer and peppers."

"Two Johnny Silver Hands, here we go."

Alan listened a little foggy for a moment; "What nonsense are you talking about....?"

Claire explains, "It's the old rule that the wine is made by the name of the regular. ”

Alan: "If you want the wine to be under your own name?" How? ”

Claire said with a smile: "You have to die first, and it's going to be very exciting, it's best to hang up halfway." ”

"I want to make a set for myself, hahaha."

"It's too much to pay, is it worth it for a glass of wine?" Alan shook his head, feeling a little incomprehensible.

"Hey, people have a day sooner or later, right? So why don't you have something to do? "Jason is very open-minded.

"City of Night!"

"And the afterlife! Ha ha. They clinked their glasses and drank their wine.

Alan took the wine glass and drank it all, the sweetness was mixed with the spicy, constantly stimulating his taste buds and throat, he usually rarely drank alcohol, and suddenly felt his whole stomach burn.

"By the way, I'll leave a recipe too." Jason wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth and asked Claire.

"Okay, you can say it."

"Agave, white Cointreau orange wine, lime juice, salt, lemon."

"Okay, I remember."

"Tell me about you, Alan, what needs to be done?"

"I need your help to save someone, Arasaka Inc.'s informant named Neo Tucker. He has recently gone missing, and there is news that he may have been captured by the Tigerclaw Gang in Little Chinatown. ”

"Why did the Tiger Claw Gang arrest Arasaka's informants? Aren't those junks quite close to Arasaka on weekdays? ”

Ailan shrugged helplessly: "The internal contradictions of the company, the old problem, that is a snake nest." ”

"Okay, I'll take this errand."

"Give this a commission, take it." In the blink of an eye, Alan transferred a sum of money into Jason's account.

"Good guy, it's a lot, a full 50,000 euros, and in the past six months in the company, I have made a lot of money, hahaha!"

"Don't come to this set, do the errands well, just don't drop the chain."

"Boss, don't worry, it's absolutely fine."

"Hey! Louise checked to see if there had been any movement in Little Chinatown recently. ”

"Well, I'll take a look..... Well... Pregnant. Recently, the Tigerclaw Gang appeared to have attacked a prosthetic doctor's clinic and captured a man. I sent you the address. ”

"Okay, let's go, Alan, let's go and have a look."

Ailan smiled slightly: "Okay, it's a long-lost combination, let's go!" ”
