Night City.

The city that never sleeps.

Even in the middle of the night, the whole street was still bustling with people, and people walked through the streets in a hurry, and no one noticed the white shadow that mingled with the crowd.

Duanmu Huai made his way through the crowd and walked forward, discussing a plan of action with Ryumier.

"Our goal is to destroy the world, but it doesn't really matter how we destroy it."

"I don't quite understand what you mean, Inquisitor."

"You already know that behind all this, there is indeed a desire to destroy humanity, which is why he jumps back and forth between the past and the future like this. But at the same time, it also proves that this is an extremely cautious, and very weak enemy. ”

"Uh......... Weak? ”

"That's right, if the Inquisition wants to destroy this planet, just an extinction order can be issued, and for us, there is no need to go back to the past to change history, or go to the future to fix the direction. It's like an adult going into a bar and just going in. Only those children will try their best to exploit loopholes because they are denied entry, right? ”

"So you mean, the other side isn't very strong?"

"At least he doesn't have the power to destroy humanity, that's why he does this kind of boring thing, and this kind of criminal in general hates things beyond his control. Suppose we can make the world act beyond his control, then he will inevitably take action, and when the time comes, he will directly kill this idiot, and the matter will be solved. ”

Saying this, Duanmu Huai sneered.

He chose this future because it would limit the power of the magician to the greatest extent. Indeed, it is indeed very tricky for magicians to use magic normally in such an era when ordinary people are generally more effective because of implants and transformations. ”

Even if it were Rhaenys, in this era when magic was weak and it was almost impossible to use magic, I am afraid that they would not be the opponents of those perverts who modified their bodies.

But the other way around......... This also pushes the other side to the limit.

Duanmu Huai is full of confidence in this, and the reason lies in this world.

Think about it, with the power of Duanmu Huai's true god, it can't come to this world, which means that this world itself is extremely fragile. In the same way, the enemy will not be able to show much power in this world, otherwise he will destroy this world. To put it simply, now Duanmu Huai and the other boss seem to be locked in a huge iron cage, even if both sides have the power to destroy the iron cage, for the enemy boss, once this iron cage is destroyed, then he will lose.

So on the contrary, Duanmu Huai's side is more dominant.

After all, he didn't use magic.

"So what's next?"

"Go get a job."

"Work?"

"That's right, first of all, we need local intelligence, since we are here, it means that this city is important to that guy, although you have gathered the situation of this city from the Internet, but what we need is more mobile information, interpersonal relationships, intelligence, and conflict points that can be used. These are not available on the Internet. ”

“……………”

"Huh? Why don't you speak? ”

Finding that Lumiel fell silent, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows suspiciously.

"No, how can I say it......... To be honest, the Inquisitor doesn't give me the impression that he is such a clear person in this regard. ”

"It's just because most of the time we don't need to solve problems that way."

Facing Lumi Air's emotion, Duanmu Huai smiled.

"The Inquisitor is tasked with destroying aliens, heresies, and demons. Of course, most of the time to deal with demons and aliens, we just need to kill them, but heretics are different, to find out the heresy lurking in the crowd, it's not as simple as just shouting a person to be burned at the stake, of course, I don't deny it, most of the time I prefer to solve the problem simply. ”

"Does it count as finding a job? What kind of job are you looking for? ”

"Didn't you search the Internet and find out that there is a mercenary profession in this world? It just so happened that I was going to find a middleman to list up as a mercenary. ”

"Who are you going to look for?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Rumiel frowned slightly.

"According to the information I searched on the Internet, it is not easy to be a mercenary in this city, not only do you need an introduction from others to join the gang, but it is impossible to enter the sight of those big brokers at first, but small brokers will trick people.........

"There's no need to be so troublesome."

Duanmu Huai shook his head.

"Looking for a job is a two-way recruitment, others choose me, and I have to choose others——— well, it's just right, we have arrived."

When the words fell, Duanmu Huai also stopped, raised his head and looked ahead, only to see that in front of him was a large door, and there was a security check outside the door, and a staircase extended downward, looking extremely dim.

"Here?"

"Afterlife Nightclub, didn't you say that all the best middlemen in Night City are gathered here? If I'm looking for it, I'm naturally looking for the most powerful one. ”

"So what?"

"You can see it just by looking at it."

Duanmu Huai said as he nodded his glasses and walked down the steps. The automatic door opened silently, and then, a loud music mixed with the smell of smoke rushed to his face, making Duanmu Huai frown slightly.

Although when they were in school, students often spread that Duanmu Huai smoked and drank and fought in groups, but in fact, Duanmu Huai did not smoke and was not good at drinking. Similarly, he doesn't like to go to noisy places like KTV or dance halls, he naturally likes to be quiet, so it is conceivable that a place like this full of drunks, noisy rock music and strong smoke smell is naturally the last place Duanmu Huai wants to come.

"Hey, wait, little one."

Just when Duanmu Huai walked down the stairs and came to the gate of the afterlife nightclub, a man with a strong figure who was about the same height as the original Duanmu Huai blocked his way———Well, you can know without asking, you can be sure by looking at his strong body, it must be filled with all kinds of implants.

I saw him holding his hands like this, looking at the girl in front of him——— although the character of Duanmu Huai was not Lori, it was the size of a girl about sixteen or seventeen years old, so the height was naturally only the height of an ordinary girl.

"This is not the place for you to come, get out of here."

Faced with the man's greeting, the girl stared at him, and then spoke.

"I'm here to be a mercenary, and I'm looking for a middleman."

"Hahahaha, mercenary?"

Hearing the girl's answer, the man burst out laughing, and at the same time, the others standing on either side of the corridor also burst into laughter.

"You kid want to be a mercenary too? This isn't a game of tricks, little imp, get out of here, or I'm going to throw you out! ”

In the face of the girl's words, the big man scoffed, the girl in front of him was wearing a white robe, a hood, most of her face was shrouded in the shadow of the hood, and she was also wearing a pair of holographic information glasses, although this appearance looks like a hacker, but anyone who has installed an electronic prosthetic eye only needs to scan it to see that the little guy in front of him has not installed any implants at all, just an ordinary "native".

The so-called native refers to ordinary people who do not have any implants. Of course, in this world, only those children from poor families will remain in their original posture because they cannot afford to install implants, and for most people, implants are very convenient and can bring them a lot of benefits. So even the poor will have one or two implants installed.

In Dahan's opinion, the little ghost in front of him is probably a rookie who has heard too many stories about the afterlife, so he doesn't know which garbage heap he picked up such a set of clothes from, and he came here to plan to make his debut.

"Alright, get out of here, little ghost, or I'm going to throw you out."

"So, I can't go in?"

"Of course, I won't say it a second time, little ghost..............."

However, Dahan's words were not finished, because at this moment, the girl had already clenched her fist and blasted out, directly hitting him in the abdomen, and the next moment Dahan was directly knocked backwards and flew out, slamming open the door of the nightclub in the afterlife, and then the whole person "slammed" into the wall.

“………………………”

Seeing this scene, the people who were still laughing at Duanmu Huai just now were also silent, and looked at the girl with wide eyes in surprise. The latter walked directly into the nightclub along the door that was knocked open by the big man.

"What's wrong? What happened? ”

As soon as he walked into the gate, he saw two more heavily armed men running over, looking at the scene in front of them, they were also taken aback, and the big man who was smashed down on the wall also raised his hand at this time, pointing at the white-robed girl.

"Yes, this kid did it! Get her! ”

“…………！”

Hearing the latter's roar, the two security guards did not hesitate, stretched out their hands and grabbed the girl, but in the face of these two security guards with big shoulders and round waists, the girl did not dodge or dodge, only to see Duanmu Huai's hands clenched, and then took a step forward. The next moment, the two security guards were also blown out, and the two trash cans smashed directly on the bar, and the frightened people around them hurriedly got out of the way.

"You're looking for death, little ghost!"

At this moment, the first big man had also crawled out of the depression in the wall, he glared at the other party angrily, and then raised his pistol to aim at the other party, at the same time, the other two security guards who were beaten by Duanmu Huai also got up and took out their weapons and pulled the trigger.

"Bang bang!!"

A barrage of gunshots rang out, and it stands to reason that such an attack on anyone would be enough to turn it into a hornet's nest.

However, an unimaginable scene happened.

After a series of gunshots, the white-robed girl still stood in place, around her body, dozens of bullets seemed to freeze, staying in the air, and then the girl just tilted her head, only to see those bullets clanged to the ground.

What the hell is going on here?

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned, and they even wondered if they had taken too many drugs or had hallucinated after seeing too much Black Mewtwo, and for a while, there was a dead silence around, and even the security guards who fired the guns were dumbfounded, and when they came back to their senses, they hurriedly tried to change the magazine.

Just then, a voice rang out.

"What's going on?"

Hearing this voice, the people who were originally around quickly separated, and then saw a lady with her hair combed to the right and dark circles walking over with a calm face, she first glanced at the panicked security guards, and then looked at the white-robed girl in front of her, frowning.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? ”

“D。”

In the face of the lady's inquiry, the girl spoke, and her soft voice was like a gust of wind blowing through everyone's ears, making everyone's spirits tremble.

"I'm here to be a mercenary, so I'm looking for a good middleman."

“……………”

Hearing the girl's answer, the woman looked her up and down, looked her carefully for a moment, and then made a gesture.

"Come with me, then."

If it were someone else, I was afraid that when I heard the woman say this, I was afraid that she would smile happily, but the girl just stared at her and asked.

"Who are you? Are you amazing? ”

"My name is Rogge, I'm in charge here, come with me."

After saying this, Rogge turned to leave, and the girl followed her without hesitation, and then led by Rogge, the two came to a box located in the depths of the nightclub.

"You said you wanted to be a mercenary?"

Rogge carefully looked at the girl in front of him, frowning, she was sure that she had never seen each other, and, after scanning, it could be concluded that this girl was really a proto——— she did not have any implants on her body.

However, just such a girl without any implants actually defeated three security guards in the afterlife nightclub?

"How did you do that?"

"As long as you persevere, you can become stronger."

Duanmu Huai——— or D said.

"With the help of mechanical transformation, it's just an evil way, and it's just a technology that can't be put on the table, so it's not worth mentioning."

"How dare you say that."

Hearing D's answer, Rogge sneered and flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, if someone else said this, I am afraid it would only be regarded as a joke, but the D in front of him has real combat effectiveness.........

"Interesting, how about you work under me?"

Rog stared at D, and she had to admit that this guy's origin was strange, but it was really powerful. Rogge also saw the means she used to attack those security guards just now, of course, it was nothing to knock over a few security guards with her bare hands. But that can even stop bullets......... Rogge doesn't think that's something that some kind of implant can do.

So, how did she do it?

In this regard, Rogge is also full of curiosity.

Looking at Rogge, D thought for a moment and nodded.

"Okay."
