After rescuing Panam, Alan returned with her to Adicado's camp, somewhere between Highway 101 and Rokiridge.

"The deal with the Voodoo Gang can not be rushed for the time being, and the most important thing at the moment is to ask Panan more about this person named V, she is the person who is most likely to know about Ott, after all, even Bridget has to choose to cooperate with her."

"Oh my God, it's Panan back!!"

"Tell Thor! Panang is back! ”

After seeing that it was Panan, a large group of people immediately gathered around, and everyone in the Adcardo family seemed very excited, and Alan seemed a little redundant here.

"Panan, this is ..... next to you"

"Mitch, this is Alan, the one who rescued me from the Night Wanderer camp."

Mitch: "Thank you, Alan, don't thank you, if you are in trouble in the future, come to us, Adicado is the most righteous." ”

Alan: "You're welcome, you'd better take Panan to rest first." ”

At the camp, Alan sat at the bar, thinking about his next steps.

"You're Alan, I heard you brought Panan back." Thor walked over from the side and took two bottles of beer and placed them on the bar.

"It's no big deal, it's a gesture."

Thor smiled and said, "It's a good thing to be modest, but you can't be presumptuous, it's already very remarkable to have this kind of ability at a young age." Are you also a wanderer? Which tribe's? ”

Alan took a sip of his beer and thought; "Do you want to get to the bottom of me....."

"No, I'm not a wanderer, I'm a lone wolf mercenary in the city. By the way, do you know a guy named V? ”

“V？ What do you have to do with her? ”

"It's a bit of a relationship, I've been looking for traces of her, since she disappeared a year ago, it seems to have evaporated from the world, and I don't know if it's dead or alive."

"V, I came to Adicado a year ago, she was brought by Panan, she saved Adicado, she saved me, she saved a lot of people here. Later, she left, and you have to ask Panan about the specifics, she knows V best. ”

"Thank you for telling me this, how is Paname."

"She's fine, some minor injuries, it'll be fine in a day, why don't you stay here tonight, in order to celebrate Panan's safe return, everyone plans to have a party, let's relax together."

"No problem, I just need to talk to Panan about something."

At night, the sky is cloudless and the stars are twinkling, and the feeling of a group of people sitting around the fire is really amazing, completely different from the dinner party held in Arasaka, there are no restraints, no surveillance, no intrigue, and you fight to the death. There is only the good music of guitars and the breeze on the plains. The people in the city desperately tried to escape, but the people outside the city squeezed their heads to get in. It's really interesting.

Life is a bow, people who are too full will be tired, and those who are dissatisfied will fall behind. People who regard life as a journey will always encounter landscapes, which are plain and distant; And those who regard life as a battlefield will always encounter a fight, fierce and dangerous. Life is like this, what you choose will meet you, there is no right or wrong, only to bear it or not. Learn to let go of things that displease you, and learn to let go of people who make you humble. As long as there is tomorrow, today will always be the starting point.

Panam sat down softly beside Alan and toasted him with a glass of wine; "Thank you so much today, Alan, I have written down this kindness."

"It's hard work, why worry about it."

"I heard from Thor, you're asking about the relationship with V? Say whatever you want, and I'll tell you everything I know. ”

"How did you and V meet?"

"Well, I have to start with an errand, I didn't have a good time with Thor, so I left Adcardo and came to Night City to try my luck as a mercenary. I was at a crossroads in my life. On the one hand, I knew that my life needed to change, and that I couldn't miss it. But on the other hand, I feel that it is really unnecessary to cut off contact with the wanderer family and all my friends. And other than that, Night City is not vagrant friendly. ”

"It's true that wanderers aren't so easy to mix in the city, and very few can survive for a year."

"I was working with a guy named Nash to run the goods, but who would have thought that Nash, a dog monggret, would hack my goods and take away my car Thunderway, which made me angry at the time. I went to reason with Rogge, but this old bitch didn't like me at all, and V happened to need help with something, so she introduced me to V by the way. ”

"Rogge.... Ah, what about later? ”

"V found me, got the car back for me, and by the way, he solved the messy knife club and Nash, the dog mongrel."

"Then what is the matter with V looking for you?"

"She was looking for a man named Anders Herman, saying that she had a broken chip in her head, and that only Herman could save her life, but he was escorted by Kangtao's escort, and it was difficult for him to do it alone, so he asked me, a wanderer who knew the terrain, for help. V and I shot down Kangtao's float with an electromagnetic pulse and a bazooka and captured this Herman, but it was a shame to also sacrifice a good brother Scorpion. ”

"And then, was she saved?"

"I don't know what happened next, V returned to Night City, and I returned to Adicado."

After listening to Pannan's story, Alan couldn't help but think in his heart; "Hermann Arasaka is the chief bioengineer and a neural network expert with several breakthrough patents. As the director of the RELIC project, he is also one of the top pillars of the super company. I didn't expect him to have a relationship with V. What an unexpected surprise, is the chip in V's brain Relic? Herman is the director of this project, and no one knows the chip better than him. It seems that it is necessary to investigate this Herman after returning home. ”

"Thank you, Pannan, what you told me is very helpful."

"It's okay, I should."

After the feast, Alan found a place where no one was and began to contact the voodoo hacker named Roman.

"How's it going, Roman?"

"We're going to meet you in person, at the Coronado farm in Santo Domingo, and you're alone, otherwise we won't talk."

"No problem, no one."

"Enough sand has been blown, it's time to leave." Alan is increasingly discovering that V is a crucial character in the whole thing, and she is inextricably linked to all of this, but she, like Ott, doesn't know where she is, doesn't know if she's still alive.

However, for every disadvantage, there will be a corresponding advantage. Alan believes that as long as he persists all the way, he will be able to gain something.
