Chapter 182: Finding a Middleman
White Night wants to know if Evelyn has woken up now? What kind of clues can you bring to yourself?
[Doctor Victor listened to your words and was stunned. 】
["Evelyn? She was brought home by Judy a few days ago, didn't you communicate with each other? Dr. Victor asked. 】
[You are a little surprised, but you didn't expect Judy to ask Evelyn to take it away without notifying you.] 】
["I was out of town the other day and didn't pay attention. "You made an excuse. After a few pleasantries with Dr. Victor, he left. 】
[Walking out of the door of the black clinic, you open your communication record.] Found out that Judy had called you a few times two days ago. One more message was left. 】
["V, I'm Judy. Evelyn's health is improving, and she seems to be waking up. I didn't feel safe with the prosthetic doctor and took it back to my apartment first. ”】
"I don't know what you've been up to lately. When you see this message, remember to contact me. ”】
Only then did White Night realize that it was Judy who felt that Evelyn was not safe with the prosthetic doctor. I took it back to my apartment.
Before the action, I also contacted myself. If there is no response, I will give up.
Come to think of it, Dr. Victor is a prosthetic doctor who is more familiar with White Night. This person is still quite good and trustworthy. Otherwise, they wouldn't have reassured Evelyn in the first place.
But it doesn't work for a long time. If anyone knew that Evelyn was at the doctor's, it wouldn't be easy to say.
In contrast, it is better to put it with Judy.
What are you going to do next?] 】
[1. Contact Judy and visit Evelyn]
[2. Directly look for clues about Kerry]
Look at these two options. Bai Ye did not hesitate to choose the first one.
If Evelyn wakes up, getting news from her is of course the most straightforward way.
In addition, what Evelyn saw at that time, which made the Tiger Claw Gang and the people behind it so interested, was also something that White Night wanted to know.
As for Kerry, I'll talk about it later.
You choose to visit Evelyn first. Opening the communication screen, you dial Judy's number. 】
[A few seconds later, Judy's face appears in front of you.] 】
[She is still so beautiful and smart, but her expression looks a little haggard. It seems that there is something to worry about. Of course you know, it's about Evelyn. Good friends have such a tragic experience, no matter who they are, they will not be happy. 】
["V, you're such a busy person, I can't contact you at all. Judy said with disgust. 】
[You can only explain: "Recently, I have been out of the city for a few days, and there are some things, but fortunately, I came back in time.] Is Evelyn okay? ”】
[Hearing about Evelyn, Judy's face was not very good: "You can come to my apartment and have a look.] I couldn't tell for a while. ”】
["Do you remember the address of my apartment? I'll send it to you in a moment. ”】
[With that, Judy hung up the phone.] 】
Bai Ye looked at the description here, and there were some guesses in his heart.
It seems that Evelyn's condition is not good, otherwise Judy would not be in such a low mood.
Shouldn't it?
Although Evelyn's injuries were not light, they were not at all in a state where they were not well healed. Dr. Victor also said that as long as you rest enough, you can be cured.
It's been a while too, and Evelyn hasn't shown any signs of getting better?
Bai Ye was puzzled and continued to watch the development of the game.
[You drove the car, and it didn't take long for you to get to Judy's apartment. 】
[After opening the door, Judy appeared in front of you after a long absence. 】
["V, you're just in time. Judy leaned against the doorframe and said to you. You look into the room, and there seems to be a figure lying on the couch, and it looks like Evelyn. 】
["What's the matter, hasn't Evelyn woken up yet? You asked.
Judy listened to your question with a melancholy face: "Yes. When I went to see Dr. Victor that day, the doctor said her brain waves were activating. It won't take more than two days to wake up. ”】
But until now, there has been no sign of awakening. Instead, he has been sleeping and not waking up. ”】
Bai Ye frowned as he looked at such a description.
Evelyn won't hurt her brain, right? In that case, it's going to be a problem.
[You persuade Judy to take Evelyn to Dr. Victor again: "If there is any problem, the doctor can also provide timely treatment.] ”】
[Judy shook her head: "The doctor has already seen it, and he said that with physical characteristics, everything is normal.] As a rule of thumb, you should have woken up by this time. ”】
[You walk into the room and look at Evelyn.] At this point, Evelyn's injuries have basically healed, which is completely different from the embarrassment you were when you saved her. Evelyn fell asleep, as quiet as she was taking a lunch break. I don't see any difference. 】
["Didn't Dr. Victor give any way? You ask. 】
[Judy paced around the room uneasily: "No.] He told me to wait quietly, it won't be long before Evelyn wakes up. ”】
[You let out a breath, and you don't know what to do in this situation.] 】
What are you going to do? 】
[1. Comfort Judy and tell her that everything will be fine.] 】
[2. Make excuses to leave and ignore Judy's pleas for help.] 】
Bai Ye looked at these two options and was speechless.
What else is there to choose from? It's definitely the first one!
What kind of person will take refuge at this time and choose the second one? White Nights is incredible.
He didn't hesitate to choose the first one.
[You choose to comfort Judy.] 】
[You say to Judy, "Don't worry, Evelyn will be fine."] Just wait patiently as the doctor said. ”
"If you're still not worried, I'll go to another doctor in a moment to help check on Evelyn's condition, how about it?" 】
[Judy is very grateful for your actions.] 】
[She thanked you and promised to contact you as soon as Evelyn woke up.] 】
[In order to give Judy a good rest, you leave her apartment. 】
White Night looked at the description in the game and was a little disappointed.
The first hope, Evelyn can't count on for the time being. She still hasn't woken up, and Hakuya even suspects that even if she does, she won't be able to provide herself with any valuable clues in a short period of time.
That's for sure. Evelyn has been tortured a lot by Shotaro and is on the verge of a mental breakdown. Even if you wake up, you don't feel a sense of security in your heart.
Even that memory may have been directly and automatically blocked because of the automatic protection of the brain.
On Evelyn's side, White Night can only be put down temporarily.
Now, another clue is Johnny Silverhand's old friend.
His band had several members. Among them, the one that Bai Ye can know, and who should be able to contact is Kerry.
In addition, there are several people who are acting with Johnny Silverhand and fighting together.
Bai Ye plans to contact all these people who can be contacted. Doing everything possible. Get the facts about Johnny Silverhand, see what weaknesses he has, and how you can take out this guy yourself.
[Next, you choose to gather information about Kerry.] 】
[If you want to gather information, there is only one general path in Night City: the middleman. You'll need to contact an intermediary to buy information about Kerry. 】
[Whether to purchase information from an intermediary: Yes/No]
Bai Ye looked at this option and did not make a decision for the time being.
He felt that it would be better not to use the middleman channel.
These intermediaries, Bai Ye suspects that they don't know more than they do.
But the game doesn't give out any other options. It's a bit embarrassing.
Bai Ye was silent for a while, and suddenly saw that the game interface had changed.
Below the line "Buy information from an intermediary: Yes/No", another option emerges.
[Or, you can get some information from Rogge.] However, I would like to warn you that it will be more difficult to get information from her than from other intermediaries. Other middlemen can trade just with money. Rogge doesn't lack your money. 】
Bai Ye looked at the options, and his eyes lit up.
This is the way he wants to act, to get the intel he wants from Rogge.
Of course, he also knew that Rogge was not such a good talker. She is a means-savvy, she was a professional mercenary when she was young, and now she is the most powerful middleman in Night City, and she is also known as the last legend of Night City. With such a person, it is almost impossible for Bai Ye to have anything to impress her.
It would be almost impossible to get information about Johnny Silverhand directly from Rogge. White Night plans to use a roundabout tactic to contact Kerry from Rog first, and then slowly discover the others.
If you want to achieve it overnight, it is basically impossible.
[You choose to ask Rogge for information.] 】
[You drive to Watson, which owns Rogge's bar, the afterlife.] Perhaps it's Night City's most famous information station. 】
Before the White Night, he knew enough about the next life. A friend once told him that this was the heart of Night City. A large number of legends have made this place their stronghold. Old Snake, Morgan's Black Hand...... These people are regulars here.
Originally, it was even a morgue. It is very well equipped, and it is said that someone will have a secret meeting in the underground here.
[You push open the door of the afterlife bar.] The noisy atmosphere inside is paved. Everything seems to be green here – and that's because of the green lights that aren't here. 】
[You walk to the bar, and the bartender Claire skilfully wipes the table with a rag. "Want something?" Claire asked. 】
"I want to see Rogge. "You are determined to say what you want. Claire was stunned and looked at you like a fool: "Rogge is not something you can see if you want to. She's busy. ”】
What are you going to do? 】
[1. Tell her who you are]
[2. Make a big fuss. Turn this place upside down. Rogge naturally appeared. 】
[3. Trying to give money to bribe Claire]
White Night looked at the three options. The second option is obviously the stupidest option. If you choose this, not only will you not have any intelligence, but you will be permanently blocked by the afterlife bar.
It's even possible that Rogge found someone to do it.
The third option seems plausible and fits well with Night City's style. However, Bai Ye thought about it for a while, but still didn't choose this one.
As far as he knew, Claire had been working here for a long time. All guests are familiar with this famous bartender. She can even be seen as a symbol of the afterlife.
Rogge clearly trusted her a lot. Such a person will definitely not be impressed because of a few dollars.
Bai Ye thought about it for a while, and the only option he could choose was the first one.
You choose the first course of action. "Tell Rogge that V wants to see her. She'll say yes. You say this to Claire. 】
Claire looks at you deeply, as if she wants to remember your face. Then she pointed behind her: "The third box on the left." As for whether Rogge wants to see you or not, that's not my business. ”】
[You follow Claire's advice and walk to the third box on the left.] 】
Bai Ye was a little surprised in his heart, it's so simple? No way?
Claire didn't even ask Rog to let him in.
Thinking about it later, White Night may have underestimated his reputation in Night City. He hasn't been here for long, but he's made some name for himself. Not to mention a series of successful missions, which made him accumulate some fame on the streets.
The most important thing is that he killed the shotaro of the law. This incident made him really famous on the streets.
Claire chose to let him in, perhaps for that reason.
[You find the box and knock on the door.] A slightly hoarse female voice came from the door: "Come in." ”】
The voice was familiar to Hakuya, and had been seen several times in Johnny Silverhand's memory. When she was younger, her voice was a little crisper than it is now. There is not so much smoke.
[You push open the door and walk in, and there is only one person inside. You know she's Rogge. 】
[Rogge has gray hair, cheekbones are somewhat high, he wears smoky makeup, and wears a leather coat. The whole person is quite imposing. She was a little surprised to see you: "Who are you, who are you here to find fault?" ”】
[You introduce yourself: "My name is V, and I'm here to get some information.] ”】
[Rogge looked at you a few times: "No wonder you are so bold, you are the V?] The one who killed Shoho Jotaro? ”】
[Your face is expressionless: "That person is a pure scumbag, and it is not a pity to die.] ”】
[Rogge listened to your words and seemed to have a very good appetite for her: "It was someone else who broke into my box so recklessly. I'll let him know what the rules are. But you're to my taste, sit down, I've got the answer you're looking for. Certainly not free. ”】
[You sit across from Rogge.] She first said to you, "Why, since you killed Shotaro Shoho, you have disappeared. A lot of people on the streets think you've been killed by the scum of the Tigerclaw Gang. It looks like you're not dead, you're alive and well. ”】
