"Good morning, Night City!"

"Yesterday's Dead Man's Lotto, the final result was a full 30!"

"Thanks to the endless gang fires and..."

Syllable.

Jack turned off the radio:

"Okay, your mother, it's fucking bullshit, there were more than 30 people who chased and killed us yesterday, and I don't know if there were 3 who survived in the end..."

"The lottery is a lie, what kind of dead man's lotto, those who can win the lottery are all high-level NCPD slivers, all of them are related households.

You know, people say they control the numbers in the lottery..."

V also responded on the side, but the state was a little poor, his whole body was covered with colors, and the palm of the gun was blown up to a bloody blur.

Now she looks like a wanderer, her clothes are all in tatters.

The three of them finally found a long-abandoned house in the badlands and rested for the night, which was good enough to have a sofa and a bed.

The bad thing is that there is nothing but garbage, which makes people feel like they are also garbage.

"You still have the face to say?" Jack was tempted to say it angrily, but he really didn't have the strength.

"Why do I have no face? Don't you think that's cool? ”

Jack folded his arms over his chest and said angrily, "This is a single smuggling job!" We should have come here safely! As a result, both the military department and Arasaka came, and there was a magic lizard!

Damn, you can't use that stuff even if you deal with cyber psychosis! ”

"Then you're going to have to pay for it - who's going to keep us all alive?"

V used a little force to get up from the couch, in a good mood, and patted Jack on the shoulder: "Okay, brother, to be honest, we did take advantage of your customs declaration, but look at the present?"

We did it! Don't give me money, for your sake, I can't let you run away in vain. ”

After saying that, the blue light of the prosthetic eye flashed, and Jack immediately received the news.

[Transfer: +5000 euros]

Jack was stunned for a moment: "I'll go... So much money? ”

The transfer left Jack in a trance - how did he remember that he was the principal.

Soon Jack reacted: "No, so you..."

[Transfer: +5000 euros]

V stood on tiptoe and hugged Jack: "Okay brother, you've done a lot of work, but you haven't come back to your senses yet, and we can still make a lot of money when we deal with this batch of goods, what's not to be satisfied with?"

Stimulate life, stimulate income. ”

Jack was speechless, the gas degassing medicine called "Oujin" was so easy to use.

And he doesn't have that much money for this single commission.

Jack sighed, "You know what, V, you're not that much of a jerk. ”

"Look at what you're saying - we'll leave when Lille wakes up."

"This friend looks sick." Jack said bluntly, "Last night, you and he were not in a good state, and I didn't see the car crashing in, if I wasn't awake, the car would have been scrapped." ”

"Well, let him say it himself - but don't look at him like this, he really can't do without him."

Lille was actually awake, but he couldn't move, he couldn't even open his eyes.

In fact, from the moment he put on this strange Sianweistan in Atlanta, his whole body hurt.

And once he used it, his body would go into a state of severe pain, and he would stiffen like a corpse.

Fortunately, he opened the hanging, this pain that should have been maddening, but it was difficult to have too much mental effect on him - a wonderful feeling.

Feeling the stiffness dissipate, Lille felt his whole body tingle to the extreme.

Listening to the conversation between V and Jack, he felt a little strange - whether the lines of the two buddies had changed slightly.

If my two roles were reversed, would I let you know what it means to be rich?

"Hah--"

His body returned to normal, and he took a long breath before exhaling.

"Wake up at last—don't hang up before you get to Night City." Although V said this unpleasantly, it was clear that she did care about Lille.

"Can't die—but I'm going to die, where is this?"

Jack said, "An abandoned farm in the Badlands, V said he would wait until you woke up to make a decision. ”

Lille rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Have you opened the thing and seen it?" I mean your stuff. ”

Both shook their heads, but after one glance at each other, Jack made up his mind - just go.

The owner of the goods definitely does not want his express to be opened, but at this time, the owner of the goods who is still in charge of hair.

This single smuggling was originally only 4,000 euros, plus the reimbursement of bribes was 5,000, this money is fatal?

Jack isn't stupid - he might as well find a middleman to sell it himself.

As for Lille, he just wondered if it was because of the butterfly effect that the crate wasn't actually an iguana.

But... It was indeed an iguana in the crate.

As Jack touches the switch of the cargo box, Arasaka's logo appears on the cargo information bar.

"I'll go, an extinct iguana! Looks like it's from the Lesser Antilles! We've got it! ”

"So..."V had other questions, "Arasaka chased us for miles for a broken lizard, and he didn't hesitate to get involved with the military department?" ”

"It's not a broken lizard, it's an endangered animal," Jack said halfway through his sentence, not quite right, "but it's not like that." ”

Lille still rubbed his brow, gathering his thoughts.

If he didn't know about it, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to sleep.

"Judging from the current information, I can only guess that it was the military department's robbery of us that attracted Arasaka's attention.

Maybe Arasaka has been staring at the military department these days, just to see what smugglers they will do, and then cut off the beard? ”

Jack asked, "Why are you staring at the military?" ”

“... I guess... It could be something about Atlanta, and Arasaka probably thought that what happened in Atlanta was serious, after all, the official news was that Kang Tao attacked the military department.

According to this route, they should be in great need of military black material or other similar information now.

But... This still raises more questions about why they need this information so much. ”

Lille pressed his eyebrows, and suddenly thought of one thing--

In the coming year 2077, a scandal broke out in Arasaka, and they installed an electromagnetic catapult device on the moon --

But in this world, only the European Space Agency is the only organization allowed to set up and operate such a device.

Military technology discovered the incident and reported it to the European Space Agency, prompting intimidating scrutiny from the European side.

It's the beginning of 2076... Maybe Arasaka noticed something? That's why they sensitively pay attention to all military news?

But... The biggest scandal in the military department is actually that they secretly tinkered with the black wall with NUSA, so what does it have to do with themselves?

There are too many intrigues and deceptions in this world, and in the midst of it, the mystery will not be reduced because Lille is a time-traveler, on the contrary, the butterfly effect may set off a storm.

"On the face of it, I think this argument is quite tenable... Still, forget it, there's no point in guessing here.

Now, let's talk about what to do with the stolen goods here - first of all, iguanas, who are you going to sell them to? ”

Jack shrugged, "The middleman I can trust is the priest - oh yes, I guess you don't know..."

"Who said that?" V suddenly said, "Jack, it's actually like this, I'm also from Heywood, and I have a good relationship with the priest. ”

Jack was stupid.

He pointed at V, and then at Lille.

"So... You're not even wanderers, you're from Night City? ”

Lille spread his hands: "That's it, okay, don't worry about this, then we'll ship the goods to the priest, but the smart weapon will have to be processed after a while."

It just so happens that with you in the lead, I still have something to ask him. ”

So... From beginning to end, only I am the one who is kept in the dark?

Jack looked at the smirkling V and the indifferent Lille --

He suddenly felt that he had actually returned to Night City when he was on the other side of the wall.

All are profiteers.

Alas, Night City, good mom.
