Chapter 260: Private Detective
The space in the portal is extremely stable. It can't be disturbed by the outside world.
Bai Ye stared at the blue portal, and felt a sense of déjà vu in his heart.
When I first came to Hongcheng, it was like this.
With the confusion and curiosity of the unknown world.
At that time, he and Ilsa had known each other for less than ten minutes before he was forced to be alone in the portal. It looks very embarrassing.
White Night couldn't help but look in the direction of Ilsa. At this time, Ilsa was still silent, holding a tablet and reading the materials. The blue eyes are like a puddle of water.
Nothing seems to have changed, but it seems to have changed again.
The biggest change is that at this time, the relationship between Bai Ye and Ilsa has improved a lot.
White Night only noticed at this time. After the battle just now, Ilsa was not injured. It's like nothing happened.
He originally thought that Ilsa's fighting ability should not be good, but only then did he realize that he really underestimated Ilsa.
Her ability is far stronger than Bai Ye thinks.
In the previous battle, White Night attracted the vast majority of enemy firepower.
But the pressure on Ilsa is no less. Being able to do it without receiving any damage proves that her combat strength is actually quite good.
As if sensing the gaze of the white night, Ilsa took her eyes off the tablet and looked at the white night.
"What's wrong?" Ilsa asked calmly.
Bai Ye was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "It's okay." It's just out of my mind. ”
Ilsa, however, came over and came to the White Night.
She took out a medical kit and pulled out alcohol, gauze and other things from it: "You were wounded in the battle, and you have not been bandaged. ”
As she spoke, Ilsa carefully helped Bai Ye to bandage her wounds.
The white night felt the sting of the wound being disinfected. Only then did I realize that I had overlooked a lot of things.
He had suffered a lot of damage during the previous battle in Hongcheng. After Johnny Silverhand replaced him in battle, White Night woke up again, and many of the larger wounds disappeared out of thin air.
There are only a few small wounds that are not particularly serious, and they are still plaguing Bai Ye's body.
Otherwise, he would not have regained his combat ability so quickly. And even after that there was another battle.
What happened to Johnny Silver's hand when it took possession of his body is a mystery.
Bai Ye took his mind back and stopped thinking nonsense.
Ilsa's movements are gentle and careful. She should have studied nursing related knowledge and acted quite professionally.
After bandaging the wound, Ilsa also carefully helped Bai Ye tidy up his messy hair and face.
Bai Ye couldn't help but find that after all this time, he had developed a feeling of dependence on Ilsa.
As long as Ilsa is there, it will make him extra reassured.
Is this dependence, or attachment?
Bai Ye couldn't tell the difference in his heart. He couldn't help but look up into Ilsa's eyes.
There seemed to be a hint of fluctuation in Ilsa's blue eyes like a lake, as if the wind was blowing across the lake. It seems that he also has a trace of affection for Bai Ye.
But the next moment, Ilsa turned away.
"Alright, the wound is dressed. There should be no infection. ”
Ilsa's voice was still so calm, without the slightest fluctuation.
She returned to where she was, picked up the tablet and began to organize the information.
Bai Ye looked at Ilsa's concentration with her head down, and she couldn't help but feel a little ashamed in her heart.
The feeling just now may just be wishful thinking.
Belonging is to feel too good about yourself.
It was clear that Ilsa had no feelings for him. Just treat him as a friend.
When Bai Ye thought of this, he no longer thought about it.
It's about sorting out what's happened recently.
After a simple combing, Bai Ye found that Hongcheng was really a group of demons dancing.
He had been here for a short time, and he had met a large number of different forces, each of which had the goal of completely messing up the city and profiting from it.
Including the cyber church I just met, Jingchen who played a huge role in the Hongcheng incident......
Speaking of which, the Cyber Church came later. It's more like a scavenger, waiting until the chaos is complete before muddying the waters. Taking advantage of the fact that no one is paying attention, they continue to absorb and develop and expand their power.
Compared with a trader like Jingchen, it is still a lot worse.
Bai Ye combed through the information he obtained and found that Jingchen was actually the mastermind behind the entire Hongcheng incident!
All the chaos started by her!
When Bai Ye was still in the twenty-first district, Jingchen had already come to Hongcheng and made a lot of plans in secret.
Hong Cheng looks unfazed on the surface. There is actually a storm in the cyberspace.
What happened in the cyber city of Red Sun City happened after a long time.
and the former director Pan Yao, who also had a connection with Jingchen, and even directly pulled Jingchen onto the thief ship. After cooperating with Jingchen to complete the plan, the sudden appearance of the white night in the cyberspace makes Jingchen's plan fail.
Pan Yao, the director of the department who controlled everything on the surface, was also abandoned by Jingchen, and even as an outcast to calm the turmoil, he was controlled and committed suicide in front of everyone.
After that, Jingchen seemed to disappear completely, giving up Hongcheng.
But in fact, her goal has been achieved.
What happened in Hongcheng was too big to be abandoned by the Federation without hesitation. And sent the General Services Administration to occupy it completely.
Bai Ye couldn't help but look at Ilsa, I don't know if she knows anything about Jingchen?
After asking, Ilsa pulled out a stack of documents.
"I've checked. According to reliable sources, the culprit of the great change in Hongcheng can be said to be Jingchen himself. ”
"She's not alone, there's a huge force behind her to support her," Ilsa said. ”
"According to the clues of her actions, even Jingchen has a lot of contact with the General Services Administration!"
"What!" Bai Ye was really taken aback this time.
On the surface, an organization like Jingchen and the General Services Department should be incompatible.
She can even be regarded as the focus of the General Services Administration, and will be hunted down by the General Services Administration whenever she appears.
But Ilsa's information shows that Jingchen has actually had the support of people from the General Services Department in many actions!
Bai Ye was surprised: "Can Jingchen actually do this...... It's not easy. ”
Ilsa shook her head: "It's not her ability. It's that the organization behind Jingchen is too powerful. ”
"Eternal Life Technology. On the surface, no one has even heard of their names. ”
But their presence can be said to be pervasive. They have intervened in many major events. ”
When Bai Ye heard Ilsa's words, he couldn't help but recall the great turmoil that had taken place in Area 21 at that time.
That sacrifice, the summoning of the Flesh Demon God, I am afraid that there is also the existence of immortal technology behind it!
Jingchen is in District 21, and it is estimated that he is preparing for that event.
Ilsa continued: "The General Services Department is under their control. This organization can be said to cover the sky with one hand! ”
Bai Ye nodded heavily.
He looked in the direction of the First District.
Eternal Life Technology, Cyber Church......
White Night curses the Cyber Church, as well as Silent Dust and Eternal Technologies.
He held the fragment of Emma's main server and looked in the direction of the first district, his eyes deep and cold: "I will let you snakes, insects, rats and ants ...... and this evil federation, burning in the flames. ”
Three hours passed quickly.
The teleportation space stopped.
White Night stood up, he couldn't wait to go to the first district.
Before that, of course. Ilsa wants to change the appearance of the two.
They can't go to the First District as their own.
Ilsa unleashed her talent and made a difference for both Hakuya and herself.
White Night looked at himself in the mirror.
By the next generation, he had changed into a rather handsome detective.
He has curly blond hair and is dressed in a modest suit. There is also a trench coat over the suit. A pair of leather boots under his feet. - It is said that this outfit is the standard for private detectives in the first district.
Suits are used when dealing with customers. The trench coat will protect him in all kinds of harsh environments.
"There were also props like walking sticks. However, I think since the advent of Night City, more traditional things such as walking sticks have slowly withdrawn from the stage. It is no longer for you. ”
Ilsa said to White Night.
At this time, Ilsa's face also changed. She looks like a beautiful city girl who is dressed up very fashionably.
According to the information that Bai Ye saw just now, Ilsa is the detective's girlfriend.
"From now on, you'll be called Polo." Ilsa said to White Night, "I am Agatha. ”
White Nights remembers his new name.
The blue portal opens automatically.
Ilsa grabbed Bai Ye's arm, and the two of them walked out of the portal space.
As soon as they came out, Bai Ye found that they were in a remote alley.
High-rise buildings on both sides. Obscure a lot of vision.
There are a lot of debris piled up in the alley. Provide covert conditions for their whereabouts.
"This is the First District?" White Night is still a little unaccustomed.
Ilsa nodded: "Let's go back to your detective agency first and familiarize ourselves with daily life." ”
The two walked out of the alley.
As soon as he stepped out of the alley, the noise outside covered Bai Ye's entire body.
He looked up, surrounded by extremely tall skyscrapers. It looks quite bustling and busy.
In the sky, countless flying cars whizzed by.
White Night was taken aback, the number of flying vehicles here is comparable to that of Night City!
You know, Night City's overall level of technology is much higher than that of the Federation.
There are very few people in Night City who can afford to drive such a flying car.
Either people from emergency medical centers or rich people from big corporations.
There are so many flying cars in Zone 1 too?
Ilsa saw Bai Ye's shock: "Keep a low profile. You've been living here for a long time. ”
When Bai Ye heard Ilsa's words, he immediately restrained his expression.
"How are there so many flying cars! Has this high-tech been fully popularized in the 1st district? ”
White Night asked in a whisper.
Ilsa shook her head: "No. This is because there are so many rich people in the 1st arrondissement. ”
"The whole federation, a lot of rich people will come to the first district. When wealth is concentrated, it becomes what it is now. ”
"Hello, can you please get out of the way?"
A voice rang out from his feet.
Bai Ye looked down and saw that this was a fully automatic intelligent cleaning robot.
The robot is much smaller than the same type of robot in Hongcheng, only reaching the knee of Bai Ye.
White Night and Ilsa make way for the robot, and the robot says "thank you" and enters the alley they came out of.
If it was just so ordinary, Hakuya wouldn't be surprised. I've seen a lot of them in Hongcheng.
The point is, the robot is able to automatically distinguish between garbage and useful items. And sort out a lot of things that you didn't notice in the white night.
And such a highly intelligent robot. The streets here are all over the place.
As for the unmanned taxis, which are everywhere in Hongcheng, they are relatively rare in the first district. It may be because people in the first arrondissement are relatively wealthy and drive their own private cars when they go out.
They also have an autopilot system in their own car. Even if the owner can't drive for special reasons, there is no need for a driverless taxi. It's okay to drive yourself with your own car.
White Night and Ilsa slowly walked towards "his" detective agency.
There were quite a few pedestrians with prosthetics on their bodies along the way.
Unlike Hongcheng and Night City, many of the prosthetics here are purely decorative.
There are no combat functions and no working functions. Just because it looks good, these people will spend a lot of money to replace themselves with prosthetics.
There are even dedicated decorative prosthetic shops on the side of the road. The prices inside are staggering.
"It's rich, District 1." Bai Ye said with emotion again.
The emergence of this kind of decorative prosthetic body proves that the first district is far ahead of Hongcheng on the road of prosthetic development. It has shifted from the stage of "useful" to the pursuit of "good-looking".
is also a federation, and the degree of development here is far beyond Bai Ye's imagination.
Ilsa nodded and said, "Indeed." Because of this, there is also room for private detective agencies to develop here. ”
"Even if it's small, it's not too small. There are also rich people who are willing to pay a lot of money for you to do it. ”
Bai Ye suddenly realized, no wonder Ilsa would choose such an identity to package him.
A lot of research has been done according to the actual situation in the first district.
He couldn't help but admire Ilsa.
Bai Ye had already noticed it just now. The suit on his body looks quite expensive. Average incomes can't support such prices.
The business of a private detective agency should be good.
The profession of private detective also makes it easy for him to quickly investigate and adapt to the city: constantly moving around the city and coming into contact with a large number of people. It will give him a quick overview of everything in the city.
It also made it easier for him to find his sister.
It is even possible to create an opportunity to meet Bai Tao.
I don't know how long it took Ilsa to prepare such a perfect plan.
The energy of the Su family is indeed very large. In the first district, he can also prepare such an identity for White Night, which is convenient for him to move. Quite unusual.
Bai Ye was thinking, and the two of them had already walked to the door of the detective agency.
