Rogge was right, after the last time Hakuya killed a large group of thugs from the Tiger Claw Gang in Night City, as well as high-ranking member Shoho Jotaro, there was no news of him on the streets.

Quite a few people thought he had hung up. Eighty percent of them were retaliated against by the Tiger Claw Gang. But the Tiger Claws don't think so, and the remnants of their members are still searching for news about V, saying that they will take revenge on everything.

[You reply, "I fell in love with a prosthetic body before, and I went to find some work elsewhere, and I wanted to make some money to buy the prosthetic body back."] I haven't been in the city for so long. Of course, there is no more news. ”】

[Rogge seemed to be very interested and asked, "Oh? It seems that your combat power is stronger than before? ”】

[You shake your head: "No.] In the end, I still didn't buy the prosthesis. ”】

At that time, he had already purchased that lung prosthesis. And it was installed, so that my endurance and toxin resistance have been improved to a certain extent. It's a pity that he died once. After reincarnation, it is back to the past state.

[Rogge then says to you, "Alright, that's pretty much it.] Tell me, you're so rude to come to my territory. What do you want information about? ”】

[You don't hesitate to say, "Kerry."] I'd like to talk to him. Learn a little bit about it. ”】

["I wonder if you can introduce me? ”】

[Hearing Kerry's name, Rogge, who was originally relatively friendly, changed his face. "Who is Kerry? I've never heard of this guy. Rogge said stiffly. 】

"I know you and he both know each other. They were all Johnny Silverhand's friends back then, weren't they? "You're pressing every step of the way. 】

[Rogge is obviously very surprised by the name you proposed.] "What are the names of the era, how would a young man like you know? Speaking of which, you and older people like us should have nothing to discuss, right? Especially the superficial guy like Kerry. ”】

"I can't tell you why. But I can tell you for sure that I won't do anything bad to him, just to learn a little bit about the past. ”】

[You originally thought that such a statement could make Rogge let down some of his vigilance. Unexpectedly, hearing your words, Rogge became more vigilant. She looks at you and says solemnly, "Where are you the one who hired you, Arasaka?" Or military technology? Tell the people behind you, don't come to me to ask around! ”】

Bai Ye didn't expect Rogge's reaction to be so fierce. It stands to reason that it's just looking for someone. Help introduce it, there won't be any trouble.

But Rogge thought he was sent by some big company to find out the news. It's a little weird to say it.

["Okay, there's nothing more to say between us, you can leave quickly."] Rogge finally said to you. 】

[You thought about it, and finally decided to give it a go. Finally try to convince Rogge. 】

[1. Threaten Rogge. 】

[2. Directly do it to Rogge (Note: You don't have to be his opponent.] ）】

[3. Tell her that you can get things about Kerry from other intermediaries.] But you chose Rogge to show your kindness. 】

White Night looked at three options. There is no difference between the first option and the second. All of them were changed directly from a peaceful state to a combat state.

The atmosphere was tense enough, and threatening Rogge, or even doing it directly to Rogge, was definitely not a wise move.

White Nights can only choose the third option.

[You decide to say to Rogge, "I can get information about Kerry from other intermediaries for a small fee.] But I chose to come to you just to show that I have no ill intentions and don't want to cause any misunderstanding. ”】

["If you think about it, is that what is going on? ”】

[Your words obviously moved Rogge and made her reconsider what you just said. Rogge thought for a moment and finally said to you, "If Kerry had anything long and short, you know what I'd do." ”】

"Even though he's a bastard, we still have a bit of a friendship with each other. "Rogge reminds you very solemnly. You nod your head to show that you understand. 】

Regarding Kerry's current situation, before coming to the afterlife, White Night had done some background checks.

Kerry is a good kind of guy. He has become a big star, very rich, and the copyright fee is inexhaustible, and he is called the godfather of music by some fans.

I bought a big villa halfway up the mountainside, and the one that lived was called a leisurely one. However, it is said that not long ago, it seems that he was abused on the Internet, and he is a little depressed, saying that he tried to commit suicide. I can only say that it is quite strange for a person of his age.

[Rogge helped you contact Kerry.] But after a brief conversation, you hear a not-so-good news. 】

[Kerry is currently on tour with the record company. Not coming back anytime soon. 】

[In this case, you can't do anything about it. You can't go out to Night City and look for Kerry. 】

[In desperation, you can only say goodbye to Rogge and leave the afterlife bar. 】

Turning off the game, the white night was silent. Everything in Night City today is very unsmooth. First of all, Evelyn's condition is not stable, and then she finally makes sense with Rogge, and Kerry is not in the city yet.

It was as if something was holding him back from getting rid of Johnny Silverhand.

White Night has no choice but to leave the things in Night City behind for the time being. All he can do now is continue to heal with Emma's help. If the drug fails, you have to try Emma's method and go to a more dangerous place to find a special drug.

I don't know what the hell is in that place where even Emma feels dangerous. Hakuya felt that he had to be prepared for everything before going to that kind of place. In particular, it is necessary to further strengthen one's combat ability. Avoid dying in that dangerous place if you don't find the medicine.

I haven't strengthened my combat effectiveness for a while. Bai Ye felt that as a player of Night City, after he came to Hongcheng, he was somewhat slack.

His status bar hasn't changed in a long time. He needs some tasks to upgrade and improve the overall attributes of his body. If necessary, he will also need to install some prostheses to further strengthen his combat effectiveness.

Thinking of this, White Night opened the game of Night City again.

I can't find any news about Johnny Silverhand for the time being, so let's see how I can improve my abilities first.

He pressed the "V" mark and started the game.

The screen slowly opened, and on the dark black background, the fluorescent red font slowly emerged.

[Passionate dreamers, you have returned to Night City again]

[Can't find Kerry, and Evelyn has no news for the time being, what are you going to do?] 】

【Return to the apartment to rest and wait for the opportunity】

[Take the initiative to contact the middleman to see if there is any new work.] 】

Of course, Bai Ye chose the second option, and he came for this thing.

As soon as I opened my information interface, I saw a very conspicuous and unfamiliar message.

[Middleman Regina Jones: Hello, I have a few tricky and dangerous missions on my side, and I need a good hand. It is said that your strength is good, and you are also a smart person, do you want to try it? If you agree, please contact me. 】

Regina Jones?

White Night knew this person, she was one of Night City's well-known intermediaries. She is one of the rare, more conscientious middlemen, who does things not just for money, but also finds ways to make the city more just and cleaner.

Many people believe that what she did was destined to be a failure. However, she doesn't think so, and continues to work on her own.

She used to be an independent journalist for radio stations, but after the station was bought by a major company, she decided to start her own business. Let the people on the street provide her with information, whether it is businessmen at the bottom of society, gang members, homeless people, mercenaries or whatever, they are the source of her information. For the people at the bottom, even if Regina Jones becomes the middleman, she is still the fighter, the one who fights for their interests.

White Night looked at Regina Jones' avatar. Resolute Asian face, with an eyepatch on the right eye and burn marks on half of his face. All this seems to indicate that she has experienced a lot of unusual things in the first half of her life.

This intermediary took the initiative to contact him, which surprised Bai Ye a little. It seems that the act of killing Shoho Jotaro is considered a righteous act by her.

After thinking about it, Bai Ye followed the contact information and got in touch with Regina Jones.

The mission is a little dangerous, but it's nothing. It mainly depends on how the remuneration is.

If the reward is reasonable, you can improve your combat effectiveness. He didn't mind helping.

The greater the risk, the greater the likely gain.

[You got in touch with Regina Jones.] She says to you on the phone, "Hello, V. If you're able to contact me, you've seen what I posted. What do you think? Interested in my mission? ”】

[You don't go around in circles, and ask directly: "I want to know, how are you paid for these tasks?" ”】

[Regina Jones immediately replied: "You will receive a prize from the NCPD, at least a few thousand dollars.] And everything you get in the quest is yours. ”】

[Do you want to accept this kind of task?] Yes / No]

White Night looked at Regina Jones' conditions, and he was thinking about the pros and cons in his heart.

If you want to talk about task pay, it's really not much. After all, these thousands of dollars, more than tens of thousands of dollars, in Night City, it is a decent price for a mercenary like him.

What made him more tempted was the latter condition: everything obtained in the mission belonged to him.

It reminded him of something in an instant.

This is a mission released in conjunction with the NCPD, and Hakuya knows their style too well. If it weren't for the encounter, they wouldn't be able to solve it. They're not going to post that kind of task.

Once it appears, it means that there are casualties in the NCPD.

Although it is not moral, the equipment of the NCPD can also be obtained by him. Counts as an item obtained in a mission. ”

Those standard equipment are very good, even if Bai Ye can't use it himself, selling it to a weapon merchant is a good income.

What's more, the more weapons you encounter, the more likely you are to increase your combat effectiveness to White Night. He was immediately tempted.

[You have chosen to accept Regina Jones' mission!] 】

Regina Jones: "Great.] It just so happened that not long ago the NCPD received a report of cyberpsychosis and excluded the patrol. ”】

["If only a few hours have passed by now. The patrol still didn't move. Either the psychopath is scared away, or the ......"]

Regina Jones didn't continue, and White Night already understood what she meant.

["Anyway, you're going to take a look? Thank you very much. ”】

[After Regina Jones hung up the phone, she sent you a map of the last sightings of cyberpsychosis.] It's not far from you. 】

[You walk to a bridge near the industrial area. It is said that the last person to see cyber psychosis was seen here. 】

[You pull out your hollow alloy war knife and walk cautiously towards the bridge.] 】

[It's already night.] It had just rained, and the dim street lamps shone on the ground, making it feel deserted. The area is sparsely populated, and the occasional sound of vehicles whizzing by can be heard in the distance. 】

[You have a sword in your hand, and the crusher is ready.] Always ready to pull it out and strike a fatal blow to the enemy. Underneath the bridge, you make your way through a nearby iron fence. 】

[The surrounding is unusually quiet.] Occasionally, there was a muffled sound. Your vast combat experience tells you that it's gunshots! 】

[As you move, the gunshots get closer and louder. You rush in the direction where the sound came from, and under the light of the billboard, you find a dead body. 】

[This is a man dressed in ordinary clothes, with his body curled up and falling to the ground.] It looks like an innocent passerby who was hit by a stray bullet. 】

[You briefly checked it.] At this time, he was no longer breathing and had no pulse. A large-caliber bullet hit in the back led to death. 】

[There is no doubt that this large-caliber bullet is not a bullet fired from a pistol.] It should be some kind of sniper rifle. It seems that there is a high probability that there is a dangerous sniper rifle in this cyber psychopath, so that the NCPD team will not be able to solve it. 】

[Faced with such a dangerous situation. You are more cautious, lower your body, and slowly move forward. Even if you don't see any signs of the enemy, try to move between nearby bunkers. 】

[You know, sniper rifles are very dangerous at long range. When you can't see other people, others can see you. 】

[You hid near a red shipping container and saw a black figure fall in the distance more than ten meters away! He yelled, "I've been shot!" ”】

[You turn on the scanning function of the hacker chip, and find that there are not only these people who have been shot and fallen to the ground nearby.] Scans revealed that they were members of the NCPD team, had not been cybermodified, and had no prosthetic bodies. 】
