Chapter 9 Confidence

"What?!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at them in surprise.

"You're going to join us?"

"Yes, I'm going to join you."

Bai Xing nodded heavily, he was sure that he was going to join this team.

"Why? The reason? ”

Dolio put down his glass and asked suspiciously, "Haven't you been a lone wolf for the past three months?" Why do you suddenly want to join a team now? ”

"Reason......" Shirahoshi pondered for a long time, and in the end he just looked up and smiled and said:

"Honestly, I don't know why."

"If you have to pick one, your gut feeling ...... Does it count as a reason? Anyway, it's my gut feeling that tells me that if I don't join today, I'll regret it for the rest of my life. ”

"What is thisβ€”"

"That's it!"

Dorio was about to say something, but was interrupted by Mann raising his hand.

"No more." Mann grinned and grinned, "I agree!" Boy, welcome to your board! ”

"Hey, Mann, is this really good?"

"No problem, I'm sure I can't get people wrong. Come on boy, come over and have a drink. ”

Mann beckoned Shirahoshi to come and sit down, then brought him a cup:

"What do you like to drink? Vodka? Maguey? Or is it a cocktail? ”

"I actually ......"

"It's okay if you don't like it, because we only ordered tequila today, hahaha!"

I'm actually trying to say that I don't drink......

In desperation, Bai Xing could only close his eyes and heart, grab the cup of tequila on the table and pour it into his mouth.

There was a slight bitterness in his mouth, and then a strong burning sensation rushed to his throat, and Shirahoshi only held on for a second before he could no longer bear it, and a "poof" squirted out.

"Ahem...... Cough...... Sure enough, I still ...... Don't drink anymore......"

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Dorio laughed directly: "What should I be, it's just a stinky boy, laughing at me." ”

Mann also followed suit, saying:

"Hey, you can't even drink? This is not good, as a mercenary, soaking in the bar is an essential part.

At the bar, you can meet all kinds of characters, find out all kinds of news, and if you don't drink, you will have a lot less fun! ”

In this regard, Shirahoshi could only smile wryly and shake his head.

"Well, let me introduce you to your companion first."

Mann patted Shirahoshi on the back with his modified left hand, and the force of the slap hurt him.

"Let's start with Falco."

"Yo, hello."

Falco, who was sitting across from him, was wiping his face with a tissue, and when he heard Mann's words, he put down the tissue and greeted Shirahoshi.

"Uh, I'm sorry......" Shirahoshi was a little embarrassed, he had just sprayed all the sip of wine on Falco on the other side.

"It's okay, I don't care."

"Falco is a turned-driver in our team, and he has good driving skills." Mann adds, "We've been able to survive several times thanks to Falco's skills. ”

"And then this is Qi Wei, the hacker in charge."

Qi Wei was still leaning against the wall and smoking, her expression never changed, making it impossible to understand.

Mann shrugged his shoulders and continued:

"She's always been like that, don't mind. And then, this is Sasha, so I don't need to go into too much detail, right? ”

"Of course."

"And Rebecca and Pila." Men pointed to the little Lori, who was completely drunk and leaning on Sasha, and the punk-headed man who had gotten up from the ground and sat down at some point, and said:

"They're brother and sister, Pyra is a technician, and as for Rebecca, don't believe it - this guy is a real combatant, and he fights crazier than anyone else. When you arrive, remember to pay more attention. ”

"Finally, this is Dolio." Mann reached out his large hand and put his arm around Dorio's shoulder, "My horse! ”

"Come on, don't get carried away there." Dorio slapped Mann's dishonest hand away and said, "Welcome, boy. ”

"Hey, can't you give me some face in front of the newcomer?"

"What a fart do you have on that face?"

"You can't say that......"

Shirahoshi looked at the two who had begun to talk suddenly, and then looked around at his companions.

Now, he is also a person with a team.

"Oh yes, don't you have any commissions on hand right now?" Shirahoshi asked Mann as if he had thought of something.

"Why, boy, do you want to show yourself so soon? It's a pity that the biggest job lately is yesterday. ”

"Speaking of yesterday, Sasha-"

Mann's expression became serious, and he said slowly:

"Have you read today's news?"

"News?" When Sasha heard this, he was stunned for a moment, "I didn't read it, what's wrong with the news?" ”

"I watched."

"As a result, nothing ......"

Sasha also reacted at this time, she lowered her head in disappointment, and bit her lower lip unwillingly.

Therefore, his own firmness and his own efforts to survive from that situation still make his companions worried......

In the end, is it just wishful thinking and useless work......

"Got it? Sasha, we're just the bottom of Night City, and what about the big corporations? Take control of everything! Your life, your entertainment, and even your access to the world!

Night City is a breeding farm! We're just animals in captivity, and we're just making a profit. What we people do, in the eyes of those dog days, is like a wild cat and wild dog on the side of the road barking twice, no difference!

This world has long been rotten. ”

"That's it, I hope you understand, Sasha.

All right! Now you go back to your own house, find your own mother, and when you have a new commission, I will inform you! ”

As everyone took a stand, only Mann and Dorio remained, and he looked at Dorio with a wicked smile......

"Hey......

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"So, why should I be responsible for sending you back?"

Sasha drove the car with a depressed face, and in the passenger seat next to her, Shirahoshi put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"'You bring people back as you bring them back,' is what Mann said."

"Damn......"

At this time, the road conditions were not good, and Sasha's front was blocked, and she angrily honked her horn twice, venting her inner unhappiness.

"I say, Sasha."

Shirahoshi opened one of his left eyes and looked at Sasha, who was "engraved" on his forehead with a few big words "engraved" on his mother's unhappiness.

"What! If you have something to say, if you have a fart, let it go! Sasha didn't have a good air.

"You didn't really listen to Mann's words."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Actually, I can understand a little bit...... This feeling...... Feeling of weakness and weakness ......"

"No, you don't understand!" Sasha thumped the steering wheel hard, "My mom she...... This could have been avoided in the first place! It's those abominable corporate dogs! They killed my mother, not to mention there must be more!

And, if I hadn't found out yesterday, I'd still be in the dark! ”

Her shaggy hair drooped listlessly.

"Sasha ......"

"Don't say any more, Shirahoshi, you're not older than me, don't lecture me there......"

"Besides, I promised you...... Won't do that stupid thing again......"

"Yes." Bai Xing retracted his gaze, looked out the window boredly, and then as if he thought of something, he blurted out a sentence directly, "Eh, if you say that, then your age ......"

Click-

Shirahoshi's temple was suddenly pressed against a cold, hard object, and he turned his head tremblingly.

Sasha stared at him with a "smile" on her face, her body bubbling black, holding her well-loaded Lizi pistol against her head.

"If I keep talking, I'll kill youβ€”"

"I was wrong, I was really wrong!"

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

"Alright, I'll let you go down here."

"Sa......

"Hurry up!"

"Alright then, byeβ€”ahem!"

As soon as Bai Xing got out of the car and closed the car door, Sasha stepped on the accelerator directly, spraying him with exhaust fumes all over his face.

He could only turn his head and walk to his home, a dilapidated apartment in Santo Domingo, where the environment could only be described as dirty and messy.

With the rubbish and vomit on the floor, and a few homeless people sleeping on a piece of cardboard, there was no worse environment.

For Shirahoshi, it was just a shabby house that would keep him in the way a little bit, so that he wouldn't sleep on the road.

"I'm going to drink...... I'm going to drink more...... Pour it for me again...... Vomit! ”

"Please, give me some money......"

Raising his feet to bypass the drunks and beggars who smelled all over his body, Shirahoshi went up to the second floor, pressed his palm on the machine at the door, and his room was opened.

After taking a cold shower, Shirahoshi lay down on the bed and began to think calmly.

"Mann, Dorio, Rebecca...... In other words, there is one more David and Lucy missing......"

That's right, it was only now that Shirahoshi remembered why he was so familiar when Sasha reported Mann's name before.

Isn't this the name of the protagonist group that I've been hearing from my classmates!

When I was in a bar before, maybe it was because of the atmosphere, but Shirahoshi couldn't think about things from beginning to end like this.

"Tragedy......"

Shirahoshi sighed, he hated tragedy the most.

The people in the protagonist group are dead, and he knows that.

Now the two main characters are missing from the story, and if it is really as fate, these two will probably meet later.

He didn't want to see tragedy.

Mann, too, Shirahoshi loves these guys.

"When the time comes, I'll stop that from happening, and I'll ......"

Bai Xing clenched his fists and watched the purple shadow appear above, this power was his confidence.

In this fucking night city, protect yourself and protect your companions.
