Chapter XXXVI New Mandate
"It's time to get there, get off!"
The domineering motorcycle docks in front of a noodle shop called "Spo Ramen Shop".
Haruka Sakai jumped out of the car, put down his helmet and shook his blue-green double ponytail, combing his hair sideways, and instructed Nagisa Aragaki to say:
"Senior Aragaki Junior, look for any blue trash cans nearby."
"Okay,"
After getting off the bus, Nagisa Aragaki began to look around, and the territory of this yakuza called [Shogungumi] was different from the previous two areas.
There is a lot less neon here, and there are more retro wooden buildings everywhere, and most of the pedestrians on the road are dressed in feathers and patterns.
If it weren't for the advertising projections that would never be missing anywhere, and the mechanical prosthetics installed on passers-by, it would have made you think that you have traveled back in time to Edo Castle in the shogunate period.
"Ah, I found it, Sakai-senpai, there's a blue trash can on the side of the store."
"Good,"
Haruka Sakai didn't talk nonsense, picked up the two loaded boxes and trotted over, lifted the lid of the barrel, threw the boxes into the trash can, took pictures for archiving, and then clapped his hands:
"OK, mission accomplished!"
“??”
Nagisa Aragaki didn't react a little: "That's it?" ”
"It's over,"
Haruka Sakai clicks on the bracelet terminal, submits the task, and the reward is credited:
"The reward for this task is a total of 1500, let's divide the account in ninety-one, ~ give you 150 ~ sister, I'm very generous!"
“.......”
Aragaki Nagisa looked at the one hundred and fifteen on his account, and felt that this express delivery was quite profitable, he now has a "salary" of 6,800 yuan a month, and it seems that he has only run the money for five express deliveries...
"So where are we going next?"
Nagisa Aragaki was just about to sit back on the motorcycle, but she saw Haruka Sakai open the curtain of the ramen restaurant in front of her, and she turned around and waved her hand at Nagisa Aragaki:
"Don't get in the car, come in, let's have breakfast first."
"Uh..."
Nagisa Aragaki scratched his head and followed.
The two entered the noodle shop, found a position by the window where they could see the motorcycle and sat down, Haruka Sakai knocked on the table, and a menu projection popped up, she waved her hand and said proudly:
"Whatever you want to eat, just order, I'll please!"
“......”
Nagisa Aragaki looked around the menu and found that the most expensive tonkotsu ramen was only more than 30 pieces, and the impression of the treat suddenly decreased a lot.
"I'm free, have you eaten here before? Are there any recommendations? ”
"No, it's my first time here, but I just made an appointment with the next client to meet here, and there are still twenty minutes before the appointment time, which is enough for us to have breakfast."
"Well, what's the next commission?"
"I'll see... The samurai chief of the general's group, Shin Sasaki, entrusted us to find someone in the territory of the Crow Gang, with a reward of 8,000 Chinese dollars, hum~ It's okay! I finally received a high-paying F-level mission, and we might be able to earn a lot today~"
Haruka Sakai happily shook her double ponytail.
Aragaki Nagisa found out that this girl seems to be a little bit of a fan of money, but she is not stingy when she treats guests.
The two of them simply ordered two servings of clear soup ramen, although it seemed to be busy with a lot of things early in the morning, but Aragaki Nagisa was dragged up at seven o'clock, and now the time is actually less than nine o'clock.
There is only one chef in this ramen restaurant... Or the boss, this boss seems to be only responsible for the food made by the machine, and he doesn't see any cooking skills.
After all, it is now the cyber era, and most of the cooking processes can be replaced by machines, and it is actually a normal thing that the chef of a restaurant is actually a mechanical worker.
The ramen of the two had just been served, and they were about to start eating, when a customer suddenly walked in at the noodle restaurant, almost choking Nagisa Aragaki on the noodle soup.
Because the "samurai" who walked into the noodle shop was carrying exactly the two boxes that Haruka Sakai had just thrown away.
Originally, Nagisa Aragaki thought it was just a small coincidence, but when the middle-aged man wearing a hatori waist and a sharp blade walked to their table and stopped, Nagisa Aragaki almost stopped in Bengbu.
"Are you [couriers]?"
The middle-aged samurai asked respectfully, and Haruka Sakai put down his chopsticks and waved his hand to say hello:
"Oh? Mr. Sasaki, is it? We are the courier who took your entrustment~"
Sasaki nodded, moved a stool from the side, sat down in a precarious position, and went straight to the point:
"One thing I want to explain in advance is that my commission can't actually be regarded as F-level, according to your company's standards, it should be set as E-level, but for some personal reasons, I don't want a formal courier to take over this task, so I issued an F-level commission,"
"If you two are interested, I am willing to pay 30,000 yuan for this commission, and I am willing to pay a deposit of 10,000 yuan whether the commission can be completed or not...
If this bothers the two of you, I can cancel the mission, and we should have never met, what do you think? ”
Nagisa Aragaki had been keeping his eyes on the two mission item boxes since he entered the door, and only after listening to Sasaki's words did he turn his head to look at Haruka Sakai.
He has no opinions, he is soft-spoken, it all depends on how the senior sister decides.
"Can I listen to the details of your request before making a decision? After all, this is not a proper thing. ”
"Yes, that's who I've asked you to find..."
Sasaki tapped on his skull, and Nagisa Aragaki saw his electronic prosthetic eye flicker, and then received a strange email on his terminal.
Click on it and take a look, but it's a character file, on which is a person named "Hideki Sato"... Warrior?
"This is my friend, who used to be the first rank in our group... But he lost contact with our group and the Ravens the day before yesterday. ”
"Are they all from your generals' group?"
Haruka Sakai raised an eyebrow:
"If you want us to go into the slave factories of the Raven Gang to help you find people, that's impossible, and we won't offend a gang for tens of thousands of dollars."
"No,"
Sasaki shook his head:
"You don't have to go into the factory to look for him, I know he's not in the factory, and if I'm not mistaken, he's probably in the raven dump right now."
"Raven Junkyard? You mean..."
"Yes, he should have gone mad."
Sasaki was silent for a moment and said a single word:
"Cyberpsychosis."
“......”
Nagisa Aragaki has heard of this "disease", or that no one who lives in this era will be unfamiliar with this disease.
It is said that this is a mental illness caused by the implantation of an excessive amount of mechanical prostheses in human beings, resulting in personality instability, fragmentation of self-understanding, and gradual insaneness of behavior.
Symptoms may vary, but in general they are characterized by memory confusion, hyperactivity, and aggressiveness.
And it is said that the disease is a myrrh.
"This friend of yours has become a cybermaniac, and has been cornered by the Ravens to that place... Are you going to entrust us with helping you bring him back here? ”
Haruka Sakai knocked on the table:
"We're just trainee couriers, you should let the official courier do this kind of entrustment, right?"
"No, I just want you to kill him before the Ravens can recover his prosthesis."
Sasaki shook his head:
"He is a samurai worthy of respect and should not be excessively humiliated by the enemy."
"As for why I didn't ask for an official ...... That's because the official courier target is too big, and it's easy for the Crows to find out, and if they are alerted and dispose of Hideki in advance, then I won't have a chance to do anything for him. ”
Sasaki smiled slightly with a stiff face, and said:
"Of course, if you can send his body back here, I can continue to add money, can you accept this commission?"
