In the early morning, the rays of sunlight are sprinkled, which can be regarded as one of the few warmth brought to the city.

"Boom......"

Perhaps sensing the warmth on her face, Sasha woke up from her slumber, stretched, blinked her eyes wide, and stared blankly at her surroundings.

"I'm ...... ...... in the car? ”

She opened the car door and wanted to go down to find out, but suddenly gasped.

"Shhh...... My feet...... It's so numb......"

"Yo, are you awake?"

Just as Sasha was rubbing his legs, a head poked out of the roof of the car, perhaps because of the light, Sasha suddenly noticed that this ordinary face had a pair of star-like eyes.

It was Shirahoshi who slept all night on the roof of the car.

Looking at the familiar face in front of him, some "not very good memories" all returned to Sasha's mind at this moment.

“……”

Despite all the resentment in his heart, Sasha solemnly said to Shirahoshi after a short silence:

"Thank you for saving me yesterday."

"It's just a trifle." Shirahoshi retracted his head, grabbed the edge of the car with both hands and flipped down, "Then again, are you alone?" A lone wolf? Or is it teamwork? ”

"Of course I'm a group ...... Suffered! Mann! ”

Sasha was shocked, he had disappeared for a whole night, and he had hung up Mann's newsletter before, so his friends must have died of worry now!

Thinking of this, she hurriedly made a phone call.

"Mann?" Bai Xing felt that this name was a little inexplicably familiar, but he couldn't remember this person, and seeing that Sasha's phone hadn't been connected, he simply asked directly:

"This Mann ...... Is it the captain of your team? Doesn't it feel like it's good? You were in such danger before, why didn't he do anything? ”

Sasha glared at him fiercely, "What do you know! ”

"Mann: He takes good care of everyone in the team, keeps an eye on everyone when he carries out tasks, and is very quick to divide the money afterwards.

Did you know how difficult it is to find a team like this in Night City? Most people only have profit in their eyes!

For the sake of interests, they are even fighting side by side for the last second, and their teammates can immediately stab them in the back! Then tear down your teammates and sell them for money! ”

"And...... And yesterday...... That's my own insistence......"

Bai Xing made a look of sudden realization, nodded and said, "I see, speaking of which, I don't know what your name is?" My name is Shirahoshi, what about you? ”

"Sasha, Shirahoshi...... Yes! Sasha also felt the name familiar, but before he could ask, Mann's communication was connected.

A face full of anxiety appeared in Sasha's field of vision.

"Sasha? Is Sasha you! That's great! You're alive! What the hell happened to you yesterday? Grass! We're worried about it, you know! ”

"Right...... I'm sorry......" Sasha lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong, "I ...... yesterday"

"Okay, no more talk, do you have any injuries on you? Where is it now? We're going to get to you right away! ”

"No, no, no, I'm safe, let's go over, we'll see you at the afterlife bar."

"That's okay, we'll see you at the next bar, hurry up, everyone is waiting for you, don't say anything sorry this time."

"Hmm......" Sasha nodded, then ended the communication.

On the side, Bai Xing was leaning against the car door and checking his email with a sad face.

Muammar: White Star! How did you get it! Just pretending to be a virus, how can you make such a big fuss? Customers have said don't make it too eye-catching! Don't let down everyone's trust in you, that's all. The money will be sent to you later.

Bai Xing looked at his newly arrived 9,000 euros and sighed heavily.

"Alas...... It was 12,000 and said......" He turned off the mail and turned to look at Sasha: "The call is over?" ”

"Well, I'm going to find my companion in the afterlife now, let's leave it at that, anyway, I still want to thank you......"

"No, thank you you is not necessary." Shirahoshi shook his head and said, "Take me with you." ”

"You're going too? Why? ”

"It's not thanks to you that you made such a big commotion, I originally had a full 12,000 remuneration for yesterday's order! Well, now my middleman has deducted the money for me. ”

"You have to make up for the loss in this."

"That's it, no problem, I'll take you to Mann." Sasha thought it was for some reason, it turned out that it was for money, "Don't worry, Mann is very righteous and will definitely give you satisfactory compensation." ”

"Okay, then without further ado, let's go!"

"You'll wait, you'll wait!"

Seeing that Shirahoshi wanted to get into the driver's seat again, Sasha hurriedly stopped him and said word by word:

"This time, I, come, drive, car!"

"Okay, okay." Shirahoshi also said that he didn't care about this, as long as he could get compensation, so he walked to the back seat and opened the door and sat in.

"Why are you stunned, let's go."

——————————

Located in Watson, the Afterlife Club is the heart of Night City, a favorite gathering place for mercenaries, where you can feel the "breath" of Night City.

The bigwigs gathered, drunk and golden.

Legends such as the Old Serpent, Morgan Black Hand, Johnny Silverhand, and many others have drunk here, and the afterborn queen, Rogge, is even more incredible.

It is said that all the legends of Night City are piled up in the graveyard, but Rog is an exception-

Night City, one of the few, living legends!

More than fifty years ago, a group of people attacked Arasaka Tower, where they detonated a nuclear bomb. After the incident, whether it was close or distant, a large number of people were cleaned up.

Only Rogge survived.

It is said that if you can have a drink with Rogge, please, brother, you are famous, and you are completely popular.

The next day, oh no, you'll be able to get acquainted and commissioned from all kinds of bigwigs that night.

Of course, it's good to do this kind of thing in a dream, after all, the people who can be appreciated by Rogge are like water in the desert, and there are very few.

"Let's go inside."

Emerick, who was watching the gate, saw Shirahoshi and Sasha, and opened the gate very happily.

On the way to the agreed private room, Sasha glanced at Bai Xing, who was expressionless with his hands in his pockets next to him, and couldn't help but ask curiously:

"You've been here before?"

"I've been here twice, what's wrong?"

"It's fine." Sasha retracted his gaze, "The afterlife bar isn't that easy to get into, and Emeric won't open it just anyone."

Do you know how many commissions Mann and I completed in the first place to qualify? It was a long time. ”

"Really......"

Shirahoshi said that he didn't feel anything, and that the first time he came in to give birth, it was because some intermediary asked him to meet here.

Dexter DeShaun, the name that ranks among the middlemen of the entire Night City.

It is said that anyone who can do business with him will be able to soar in the future, but Bai Xing disagrees with this, why hasn't he been rich and wealthy yet?

And this person ...... He doesn't like it very much, isn't this the thing that killed V in the game plot?

Therefore, after that cooperation, Shirahoshi never found this bastard again, and he didn't accept any of his commissions.

Shirahoshi didn't want to be stabbed in the back by a middleman after completing the task, which was disgusting.

"We're here."

Bai Xing was stunned all the way, and before he knew it, he had arrived.

"Sasha! You're finally here! We're so worried about you! ”

There were six people sitting in the private room, and when Sasha came in, a brown muscular man immediately stood up.

Seeing his excited look, the blonde sister Gui who was sitting next to him pulled him down, "Okay, don't get excited, isn't it okay?" ”

"Sasha's strength is not weak, so he will definitely be fine."

"What, Dolio! Sasha disappeared so suddenly yesterday, and said that kind of thing, how could it not be worrying! ”

"That's it! As a senior, I'm worried to death! A man with a punk head and long modified arms also stood up, and he came over and picked it up with his own acquaintance:

"Without Sasha, my lonely soul wouldn't have got—ah——!"

In a flash of lightning, the man who wanted to be hairy instantly fell to the ground.

"Aha! Good job! Bastard dude, it's really TM! You're going to call him a lifelong disability, Sasha. ”

On the sofa, a sitting Lori gave a middle finger to the man on the ground, she had a supple green double ponytail, and her red pupils looked at the man twitching on the ground with disgust.

"Hmph, I'm going to have to think about your suggestion, Rebecca." Sasha walked over to the ponytail Lori and sat down, picked up the bottle and brought herself a glass.

"If you think about it, just do it! Sasha, I've got your back! ”

"Eh, who is this?"

Rebecca picked up the bottle and began to blow, and it was only then that the crowd noticed Shirahoshi coming in after Sasha.

"He's called Shirahoshi." Sasha picked up the glass and took a sip, "Yesterday, he was the one who saved me. ”

"Oh yes, thank you for that, bastard."

Rebecca was still pouring into herself, and Mann had already stood up and walked in front of Shirahoshi.

Mann's prosthetic body has a very high degree of transformation, and his strong body is very bluffing when he walks, and he can only look up at him with a height of 1.88 meters with Shirahoshi.

"Boy, I've heard of you."

Mann took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of slightly gentle eyes that had nothing to do with his appearance.

"The name White Star has been spreading a lot recently, three months ago, I made my debut with Hawley, and my strength is not bad, Sasha's thing, thank you so much."

"It's a small thing, it's just a thing......"

At this time, Shirahoshi suddenly found that he didn't know how to open this mouth......

"I'll tell you." Sasha put down his wine glass and said slowly: "Shirahoshi's mission conflicted with our commission yesterday, so he was deducted a lot of remuneration by his middleman, so I want to make up for it." ”

"No problem, Sasha was saved by you, and that makes sense."

Hearing this, Mann was also very refreshing, and directly transferred 4,000 euros to Shirahoshi.

Then he returned to his seat, "Today, let's return for Sasha's safety—" he raised his glass and said in a loud voice:

"Have a good drink!"

"Sasha, don't do this again."

Dorio raised his glass and touched it.

"That said, I'm still ...... Partition...... I almost thought that there would be fewer people in the team again......" Rebecca, who was already a little drunk, was not to be outdone, picked up the wine bottle and slammed it.

"Hey! Falco! Old lady! You two don't dream! Come and have a drink! ”

"Hahaha, of course I won't be confused, cheers!" The black-haired uncle named Falco laughed twice and hurriedly responded.

On the side, the blonde hacker Qi Wei leaned against the wall, she had implanted a prosthetic mask, a cigarette in her mouth in a small hole in the mask, and she was used to calling Rebecca "old woman".

"Welcome back."

“……”

Shirahoshi looked at the lively appearance in front of him, his feet suddenly moved a little, and he remembered Holly......

He turned back the 4,000 euros that the other party had compensated.

Mann, who received the money, scratched his head and wondered:

"What do you mean, boy? Don't think enough money? Don't worry, I'm a very righteous person, and you saved Sasha, even if you give you a little more—"

"Nope."

Shirahoshi interrupted him with a sudden voice.

"I don't want to make amends."

"I want to ...... Join you ......"
