Chapter 24: Believing in the System (Sent in the early hours of this morning, please read it~)
[In the days of rushing in the bad land, there was a small problem with the battle-hardened car that needed to be solved]
[Spend a certain amount of technology points to repair it]
[Note: The host itself needs to have qualified repair skills.] γ
[Not available at this time.] γ
That night, the car broke down in the Cyberpunk 2077 world, and Lille spent the night learning about auto repair.
Fortunately, engineering knowledge is better than scientific research knowledge to a certain extent, and I have access to information from two worlds, and V's strong hands-on ability - such as directly grasping wires with my hands.
Subcutaneous armor also resists electricity to a certain extent, and can also be used to diagnose electric currents when the current flows through the body...
The humanoid pen belongs to yes.
Eventually, the two of them fixed the car β they just didn't understand what was wrong with the car.
Cyberpunk 2077 world vehicle technology is still a little different from modern times, first of all, the fuel is not gasoline, and secondly, good goods such as Beamon armored cars, which are equipped with a lot of circuits for personal link access.
The real world isn't that complicated with in-vehicle circuitry.
They removed one of the last two armored cargo boxes, and the car was able to walk againβLille thought to himself that perhaps the wrecked car had fallen a few times, causing the load to overwhelm the power line.
On the road again, the interior space is a little squeezed.
γCyber armored vehicle repair technology mastered (introductory)γ
[Science +50]
[Technology points used to place repair orders have been deducted]
γTech Point -5γ
[Current Technology Points: 535]
[V: This car is the best-selling armored vehicle in military technology? Garbage, fortunately, it will enter the bad soil in a day and a half, and then you will have to find someone to change the car. γ
[You: I'm going to sleep.] γ
[V: You're going to sleep to death.] γ
It's still a headache to get things done over there and go back to the Overworld.
Skye is an orphan and has nowhere to live, and as her boss, Lille can actually live in another person in the family's apartment.
This apartment is a two-bedroom apartment, the hall is connected to the kitchen, but there is a place to put the sofa, and the sofa can be slept horizontally.
The problem is that Skye is a girl, biologically close to Lille's age --
So what should Maya's mother think?
It's hard, it's hard.
It's not that Skye is a school dropout orphan.
On the one hand, she felt that Lille was short and only wanted him to live happily for the rest of his life.
On the other hand... Skye is also quite miserable, orphaned, wandering.
Who is Lille? At a glance, he saw through his mother's thoughts, held his forehead and said, "Mom, that's the case, I plan to start a business in my spare time, give... Others in the community can contribute.
Skye knew a bit about computers, so I asked her to help. β
To be honest, a person who is dozens of years old in mental age, he is really not so sensitive in this regard--
Skye seemed to him to be a little girl, maybe five or six years older.
Skye didn't understand anything, but thought that this gentle lady with still charm was delicious in cooking.
Die for fast food!
Then he ate in a big gulp, and there was no distraction.
As soon as he said this, the topic changed in an instant - no relationship between men and women can compare to the fear of life.
"Lille, it's understandable that you've grown up and want to do something for your family and for your community, but this... What happened today is too dangerous! β
"But even if I don't, they're going to rob - Mom, they won't stop until we're kicked out."
Lille spreads his hands, very plainly.
Yes, there are many simple truths in this world, such as resisting when you are oppressed.
Bullied β why not be tough?
After the hard work, the money was robbed - why can't you protect your own money?
Protect your money, get beaten by robbers - why not give him money to keep yourself safe?
Going around and around, if you give up your stuff step by step, it seems like there is nothing left but a small life in the end.
Maya knows that too.
Lille continued: "Mom, I know you're worried about me, but I'm 18 years old. β
In Latvia, 18-year-old men who did not want to be serfs under feudal lords were rebels.
So Maya really understands Lille.
At this time, Skye, who was eating, suddenly said, "Boss, are you an adult?" If not, why not throw a party? β
Lille glanced at the rice bucket: "I turned 18 three days ago, and I just got out of the hospital at that time. β
"Uh... All right. Skye continued to eat, not thinking about what it meant to be discharged.
Maya said, "Okay... I just hope you have to protect yourself, you know? β
"Understood--let's rest first, Mom, you have to pay attention to your body too, by the way, remember to take your phone when you go out."
Maya's phone has been modified by Lille and can even be turned on remotely when it is turned off, so as not to lose contact.
Although Lille does not think that the other party will engage in coercion such as kidnapping in this situation, it is better to be cautious.
At this time, a message from Matt appeared in Lille's prosthetic eye:
"The car is downstairs, let's go to the NYPD together."
......
The current state of Hell's Kitchen has a lot to do with the inaction of the sheriff in this police district.
The sheriff of the district is actually appointed by the mayor, who can appoint the sheriff directly but considers whether the city council will object.
And in the city council, the councillors of Hell's Kitchen are sponsored by Kim.
Through financial support, private intimidation and other black and white means, involving political circles, it is considered a brainy behavior in the gang.
With the current level of corruption, Kim doesn't have enough control over the district sheriff, but it's okay to get the city council to send a non-threatening piece of waste.
Now, sitting in front of Lille is the police district sergeant Milton Robinson.
"Tell me, why are you fighting?"
Milton put his hat on the table and sat in his chair with a fat belly, making a squeaky sound.
Matt slapped the hard drive right on the table.
"This is a burglary, the suspect may be illegally armed with a gun, and we are just defending ourselves, not the so-called assault."
Milton was stunned - troublesome, had to work overtime, and it was related to the gang.
As soon as Lille looked at the guy's expression, he knew that it was a little unlikely that he would be expected to submit evidence to the prosecution.
New York is not Gotham after all - New York at this time is not Gotham, and there may be one or two low-level cops who have a relationship with King.
But the sheriff isn't there, he's just troublesome.
And timid - his family doesn't live in Hell's Kitchen, he just fears that there really are gangsters.
"Okay, I'll censor it, it's a hassle..."
Lille frowned - this was the worst-case scenario, the police didn't work, and he wouldn't even want to call a subordinate to hand over the evidence to the prosecution.
If no one curbs Kim's covert expansion, his power will grow day by day, bringing more corruption.
This kind of corruption is a virus, and if someone neglects his duties, it will one day seep into the marrow of the system - so dereliction of duty is a criminal offense.
At this moment, Lille saw a middle-aged man with gray temples walking briskly through the street - it was amazing that there were still police officers who volunteered to work overtime in the middle of the night.
The prosthetic eye of Shiji Kiji easily captured the policeman's badge--
George Stacey.
NYPD Commissioner!
No matter what universe he is in, George Stacey is a sheriff who is rigid until now!
"Sheriff Stacey!" Lille immediately raised his hand and called out to the sheriff.
George was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lille and Milton, who immediately stood up, just a little unsteadily.
"Sheriff Stacey, I'm dealing with a fight in Hell's Kitchen..."
"It's a burglary! And the other party also has illegal gun possession, almost killing people! β
Lille's dying body erupted with mismatched voices, just trying to act excited.
"Sergeant Robinson Police District, in the apartment, there are eight families, more than twenty people, women and children!
In broad daylight, the other party picked a time when a man was not at home, blatantly slammed the door in, and shot and threatened!
This happens every day in Hell's Kitchen! Here's the proof! It's not a gangster fight at all! β
On the contrary, the gangsters of Hell's Kitchen have not been too harmonious lately, and everyone is tightly united to make a lot of money under the contract that Kim has gotten.
George frowned when he heard this--
Truth be told, policing in Hell's Kitchen has always been a problem.
But there is a lot of evidence that is lacking, and most of the fights turn out to be gang fights β what's the matter?
But if it's civilians who are threatened, then he needs to look at it --
To sum up, George Stacey is a person with a strong professional quality and a sense of justice.
This means that his sense of justice is also an elitist sense of justice that is characteristic of elites.
If Robinson reported to him that the assaults and law and order cases were all gangs, then he believed Robinson and would fight fifty boards each for such cases.
Anyway, it doesn't matter how many of these social scum die, it's better to kill them all.
Yes, he didn't like Robinson's laziness, but he still recognized Robinson's former colleague and trusted him as much as he could.
On the other hand, if someone pulls him by the thigh and cries that Hell's Kitchen is hell on earth, and that he broke his legs yesterday by criminals...
Then he might have to wonder if this man had his leg broken when he joined the brawl himself, damn it, gang member.
Believing that there is more system than public opinion, this is Sheriff Stacey.
However, evidence is also part of the system.
George picked up the hard drive and said with a little interest, "You know me?" β
"I've seen it on TV, uh... Maybe I've seen it somewhere else? β
George took a deep look: "I heard that the public safety cameras in Hell's Kitchen are broken..."
Lille replied: "Of course, it's not a public camera, it's a private camera β after all, we don't have the ability to tune the picture from a public camera."
But... I think it's likely that the public cameras got some footage as well. β
It's rare β George thinks so in his heart, but he knows what he has to do.
If this kid is really what he says, Sheriff Robinson may be suspected of dereliction of duty.
"Sheriff Robinson, I'm interested in this case - you two, I need witnesses, you shouldn't mind being this witness, right?"
Matt was rather surprised, and Lille patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Of course I don't mind."
