After the negotiation that night was over, everything was going on in an orderly manner according to the plan of Lin Mo, Xu Wanxue and Knight.

Time passed, and Night City was still Night City, and the city never seemed to change.

The big news that had happened in the city didn't seem to exist and didn't affect the city's functioning, and ordinary people were still working, committing crimes, and killing people for decades.

The evidence of the crimes committed by the new American President Myers has become an anecdote on the lips of people, and the evidence and witnesses presented at the hearings still retain the charm of making people say a few words in their spare time.

In the past, this would have been a rather unimaginable thing.

After all, there is no shortage of big news in Night City, and no matter how hot the event used to be, after a few days or ten days and a half, it will gradually fade from people's minds.

However, this time the events related to Myers, such as "when will the president step down", "the new presidential selection", and "the most charismatic presidential candidate", such news is still rising.

Behind these hot events, there seems to be a pair of invisible hands pushing the spread of these news.

So much so that more than a month later, people can still hear on the news such as "Myers resigns and steps down", "Myers is willing to stand trial", and "the new presidential candidate has begun to build momentum".

The popularity of the presidential campaign is also growing.

At this time, many Night City residents who care about current political news are also surprised to find:

The "patriot" Solomon Leed, who practiced justice at the hearing and did not hesitate to expose himself to reveal the president's crimes, actually appeared on the TV screen.

He actually announced to the citizens of Xinmei that he was going to participate in the presidential election, and began to appear on various screens to build momentum.

Because of his previous righteous actions at the hearings, as well as his impeccable resume during his time at the F.I.A., he was also quite popular in the polls.

Now many political scientists have begun to speculate that the former CIA agent and current presidential candidate, Mr. Solomon Reed, is very likely to win this presidential election and become the new president.

They also provided a lot of basis for their own inferences, starting with Mr. Li De's campaign slogan - "Let citizens enjoy equal rights".

He will never deceive the people like his predecessor Miles, let alone plunge the new United States into chaos again, and will respect the citizens' right to know after taking office.

Not only that, Li De also fulfilled his promise.

He contacted Kangtao and Arasaka, and used his influence to negotiate with these two companies with painstaking efforts and all-nighters, and forced the two companies to modify their working hours, and won half an hour of rest for their employees without changing their salaries.

Li De has indeed guaranteed the rights of citizens!

This kind of measure has also made countless Xinmei citizens working in Kangtao and Arasaka in Xinmei grateful to Dade, and this operation alone has won countless people's hearts.

Since then, even if other candidates contact the corporate forces behind them and make similar operations to Li De, Xinmei citizens will think that Li De has set this precedent.

He is the real presidential candidate who loves the people like a son!

If all goes well, the whole process is like the inertia of historical legend - the new king overthrows the old king and becomes the new ruler of the kingdom.

As the person who gave the former president a "fatal blow", Li De is undoubtedly the new "victor" in the impression of the people, and he should probably become the new president.

However, as time progresses, although the presidential campaign is in full swing, in Night City, a city of cultural melting pots, in various Chinese-populated urban areas, there is another exciting festival quietly coming.

......

......

Flaming red lanterns and colorful decorations began to fill the streets where Chinese lived, and many neon lights and holographic projections were replaced with festive colors.

The atmosphere of enthusiasm began to permeate the neighborhood, and a trace of warm human touch began to reverberate in this cold city.

Even some residents of Night City, who do not understand Chinese customs, have imitated it in a similar way, and the hawkers and companies who see the business opportunities will naturally not let go of this opportunity to promote consumption.

They use slogans such as "prosthetic discounts", "insurance promotions" and "New Year's raffles, with the highest prize being "Trauma Group Platinum Membership for one year", in an attempt to attract citizens who do not have enough pockets to spend on this rare holiday.

However, behind these festive atmospheres, there is still an undercurrent surging.

Gangs large and small all over the city, for some reason, suddenly started a collective action at some point.

Led by the largest gangs, dozens of gangs have invariably dispatched their elite combat forces to the vicinity of the company square in batches, as if to start a top-level battle between gangs in Night City.

As for those small gangs, they also rushed out one after another, pretending to be ordinary people and began to wander around the company square, trying to make a profit in the upcoming "mysterious big event".

All kinds of strange phenomena also made an inexplicable news begin to circulate in the underworld of Night City

——On the occasion of the upcoming Chinese New Year, there will be a big battle on the road in the company square, and all those involved in it will have a lot of income as long as they can survive.

And these news from unknown sources have naturally attracted the attention of many company intelligence departments.

It's just that because these gang fighters have not moved for the time being, they just wander around the company square in disguise as ordinary people, looking like "I am a big good citizen", and they can't get any useful clues in a short time.

So, one day in February 2077, a group of people gathered here in the small studio building of Santo Domingo.

......

......

"Are you all there?"

Lin Mo propped his hands on the top of the conference table, leaned forward with dignity, and calmly scanned everyone gathered in the hall

V, Johnny Silverhand, David, Mann Squad members, Jack, Hiroshi Kitagawa, Lucy, Sasha, Rebecca... All the marginalized people he knew so far are here today.

Everyone's face was looking ready at this time, and their eyes revealed curiosity, anticipation and playfulness.

Regarding Lin Mo's intention to call all of them here, many people who were kept in the dark were very curious.

But for some of the elderly, this is not surprising, after all, they have seen it in the past, with boys standing at the top of the conference table and methodically handing out tasks for them.

Each mission is different, but when it comes together, it's sure to be something that affects the entire Night City!

"Everyone is here, Lin Jun, you can explain the details of the plan to them." Kitagawa Hao, who was sitting next to him, bowed slightly.

Lin Mo nodded with a light smile, cleared his throat, and said very comfortably and relaxedly:

"Well, then, it's time for us to have a good year."
