"It was 2029, and Red Ochre was active in Texas, because there were a lot of young people, and Adicado was still in its heyday, and the activities were very aggressive.

Cedric, Hector and Bowen, the three of them were the ones who participated in the robbery in the same issue.

At one point, the wolves invited them, but they all refused.

Cedric has a violent temper and Bowen gives advice, the two kill like hemp, and Hector has a very stable temperament, basically not staring at people, and pays more attention to the mission goal. ”

At the fire, Neville looked at the flames and told their stories.

"In general, Cedric was the most capable of fighting, and he killed the most people, and I heard him say that he was quite happy to kill at the time.

Bowen is the most insidious, and every time he fights almost enough, he will come out to deal with the endgame, and Hector will always only focus on the target, and he will not kill any unnecessary people.

As the work of the three of them got bigger and bigger, the prosthetics on their bodies became more and more awesome, and finally, they couldn't look down on the garbage prosthetics sold in the black market.

Bowen gets the Icicle Puppet in Mexico City, and the trio has their eye on a few of the company's employees — but Hector doesn't think he should do it.

So on a dark and windy night, they robbed a company employee – I heard it was a tour bus.

Icicle breaks through the hapless man's prosthetic system, and Hector and the other two are at odds: he just wants to collect some ransom as he is told.

Bowen instigated Cedric to dismantle the guy's prosthesis.

It was that time that brought the company to the attention of these three young people, these three young people who are becoming more and more famous. ”

David on the side listened attentively.

Cedric was there at the time of his death, and it was the first time he had seen such a strong emotional impact.

He was curious about the story of this wanderer.

Cedric, dressed in the new prosthetics, became more and more violent, and at one point even single-handedly killed more than thirty drug dealers in the Badlands.

People are rumored that there is a one-eyed butcher on the border who kills people purely for the sake of killing.

But I never heard Cedric mention it for as long as I can remember, until the other day, when he told me the truth:

He has this name, and a big reason is that Bowen has been helping him sell those murderous combat Mewtwo.

This is also what he learned later, every time Bowen went into the city not only to help him buy a prosthesis, but also to install a back door on the prosthesis, and the money from Mewtwo's sale was taken. Some places of custom.

But in short, it was also during this period that there were many conflicts between the company and Adicado, and the old patriarch unfortunately died.

And at the end of the day, he chose Hector as the patriarch - Cedric didn't understand why he didn't choose the more famous himself.

So he wanted to do a big job - Bowen got him this big job, robbing a team of valuable companies.

It is said that the cart of goods is worth three or four million euros, all of which are brand new goods, and they are grabbed once and eaten for a year.

How can there be a reason not to do such a lucrative job? The young and vigorous Cedric, with a large crowd of people who agreed with his leadership of the clan, almost divided the clan and planned the attack himself. ”

A typical wanderer story – sounds like this:

David asked, "Did they succeed?" ”

Neville shook his head, "No, it's a trap, Bowen was caught in the city by a company employee and willingly betrayed the clan."

Remember the first company employee they robbed? It's their friend seeking revenge.

Cedric's men were all dead, he went berserk and killed everyone, he opened the carriages of the convoy, but it was full of garbage.

When he returned to the tribe, Bowen attacked him and burned the camp - and if Hector hadn't arrived on the scene with the men, the rest would have been sold to human snakes. ”

Neville refueled and turned on the tape recorder on his desk.

"Here's the audio he left behind."

"I was too young at that time, I didn't understand what the old patriarch said, I was angry, I didn't understand, why not me?

For the sake of the clan, I have killed so many people and robbed so many convoys, that every smuggler knows my name, and the drug dealers are terrified when they hear my name.

I was addicted to the pleasure, to the way they shivered, to the feeling of shooting bullets into the enemy's brain, in the chest, in any part of the body.

The old patriarch didn't misunderstand me, I'm just an idiot, and I'm the same bastard as Bowen in my bones.

I spit on Adicado's credo of not killing indiscriminately, just as Bowen spit on the customs of our tribe.

I thought he and I would be brothers on the same road, and since Red Ochre wouldn't recognize me, I would go out and do it myself.

But Bowen was a mongrel of mongrels, and he thought more: back when we first broke up, he wanted to force the people of the tribe.

He is making all the money, what's wrong with two bitches?

I hit him and I should have found out at that time, I. I should have found out. ”

"Neville, to be honest, I've always thought you were too honest a boy to know all day long to hold those books and read them until.

You may have forgotten that when you were in Reno, you told me that this knowledge could help the tribe find water—

I immediately remembered the old Hector, and what about me? From beginning to end, Bowen and I were a kind of person, a kind of idiot, a kind of scum.

I thought that a hard gun would solve all problems, kill two if you don't kill one person enough, and grab it if you don't have enough things, but in fact it's all excuses, I'm just addicted to that feeling!

But where do I stand on this? I just hope. I just hope. Exercise! I'm just comforting myself!

,,! I fucking went crazy again, went crazy to kill people, and now I'm lying here like a piece of waste-

Click. ”

The playback is over.

The people were a little silent at what was supposed to be a happy party, and only the sound of the fire was burning.

Neville poked the fire, then picked up a bottle of wine from the table.

Although he always said that, he didn't cross the line like the Random Knife Society.

Of course, I am not in a position to forgive him on behalf of those victims.

It's just that as a clansman, we are here to see him off on his last journey, whether it is to heaven or hell, and the rest of the way will have to be taken by himself. ”

Alcohol slowly sprinkled on the fire, and the flames burned.

Thoughtful and thoughtful, the people raised their glasses lightly and drank the bitter beer.

It's not just a problem for wanderers.

The stressful living environment is like the sea, and people are victims of falling into the water.

Again and again, he struggled to swing his arms and struggle, just to get two breaths of fresh air across the sea.

People have always indulged in the thrill of breaking through the water again and again, and over time, people seem to grab whatever they can for a breath or two.

Violence is the easiest means to think of, but endless violence is likely to result in irreparable tragedy.

And once they want to solve the dilemma by some other means, they may be played around by those companies like Hector.

These questions are like balls of yarn wrapped in balls, mixed together, blocking people's heads and blocking their way to their ideal life.

The way out is like the never-visible shore, making one wonder if such a thing does not exist at all.

Jack put down the synthetic steak in his hand: "I want to go home." ”

"Come on," said Lear, "to be back the morning the day after tomorrow at the latest—remember that Mrs. Wells told you not to gang up?" ”

"yes, I probably used to be like that."

V jumped off the lizard: "This story is true. ups and downs.

I've met a lot of people who talk about it, but in fact have long been addicted to violence.

However, some people who indulge in violence may not be the direct perpetrators. ”

Lille nodded approvingly, "That's true, but in Night City, the vast majority of people will be involved in the process themselves. ”

"Like us? Do you think that's what we count? ”

"Of course not, uh. It feels a bit absolute, but as long as the wanderers are doing well, we shouldn't count it, right? ”

V stole a glance at Lille who was lost in thought.

Born on the street, what means of survival does she have other than violence?

But the means other than violence are really attractive.

She just didn't want to be like those people, so she always worked alone, but if it wasn't for the adventures in Atlanta, where would she go?

V poked Lille: "Anyway, I'm used to using violence, you'd better grasp the direction, otherwise the sins we have created will be on your head." ”

"Okay, okay, I'm an external brain, I'll think about things, don't worry about it."

"Huh? Why are you going? ”

Lille waved his hand and walked towards the scrap pile—

"Do some work with an external brain."
