Walking into the nightclub, the eyes of a large number of mercenaries rested on the three of them, and the scanner updated their characteristics again.

Outsiders don't know, but their locals know how outrageous these three big brothers are: I hope I won't fight them in a commission.

There are a lot more people in this place than usual - the buildings near the water are the first to get the month, and the foreign mercenaries are not qualified to come in to find work, and the local mercenaries have this information.

But it's not a good money.

"I told you to here! If you don't come for surgery, I'll be the first to kill you when I go out."

"What? Am I unable to protect myself? You wait! ”

In the open box, Lille saw a man dying on the table.

The neck was reinforced with a stiffener, but it had been beaten to pieces, and it looked like it had been cut by some kind of high-temperature blade, and the ports were charred and neat.

His companions gathered around, some crouching on the ground, some with broken arms, and the captain was anxiously at the table on the phone, contacting the prosthetic doctor he could reach.

But

The man at the table will not live, this is Lille's judgment.

All the way to Rogge's box, the queen of the afterlife has been waiting for a long time.

Apparently she knew everything about what was happening at the door, and as soon as Lille entered, she spoke:

"The one you killed just now is called the Arctic Wolf, the team is called Ice Hunters, from Oslo, and it's quite famous over there."

Rogge had already assumed that the guy was a dead man.

V sat down on the sofa and grabbed the tequila on the table with a big sting.

"It's not very good, except that I like to play some tricks, that's all."

Rogge motioned to the old brother next to him to take out a chip and put it in front of Lille: "They are not simple, if you are interested, you can take a look." ”

In the spirit of learning and expanding the database, Lille still chooses not to let go of any chip.

It contains confirmed information about Ice Hunters.

This is a team that has been in the business for more than a year, operating around Northern Europe.

Norway is a small country, and the status of the small country that has completed a high degree of nationalization in the cyberpunk world is still not low, and it lives on rich oil resources.

Although the attributes of petroleum resources as energy have been greatly replaced by alcohol 2, the industrial attributes still exist, and in general, they are relatively rich, and abundance breeds various problems.

There are many commissions, most of which revolve around the exploitation of petroleum resources, and most of the time the employer is Su Petrochemical.

Due to the demands of the combat environment, their prosthetic systems must be able to withstand the cold and adapt to the harsh terrain of the field, which crowds out room for bullets and other supplies, and must leave more room to carry fuel.

As a result, they have developed a preference for melee weapons and small arms, and if there is a need for long-range engagement, they will consider equipping them with combat vehicles.

Moving to Night City, their prosthetics have undergone some changes, but they are obviously still not very comfortable with the environment here.

Cold weather experience. Populating the database is good, but it won't be needed for a short time.

At the same time, Lille also noticed a problem: the two groups of mercenaries he was currently in contact with were from Europe, and both of them were from Northern Europe.

"It's really not easy. It's young and vigorous. ”

Rogge bowed slightly: "Sometimes you talk like an old man in your seventies and eighties, just like me." ”

Lille shrugged: "I'm just stating the facts, being young is not necessarily vigorous, I'm young, but he's talented."

Is there any word for the news from the city? Let me tell you, I know that there have been a lot of mercenaries coming in lately. ”

Rogge's expression was strange: they were in a hurry?

They didn't smash the company square.

"I guess you're up to it."

Things have to start with the big vote at the very beginning-

Lille was aiming for a DNA editing device for biotechnology, and he did get it.

And the way he got out was to find a pure wrongdoer, Faraday.

Faraday is investigating the Nightingale Project, and Lille portrays himself as a super-stunned young man who is also very righteous and helps the wanderer out of his mouth.

From the current point of view, not many people will think that he is the lizardman, the problem is that the operation involved a classified device of biotechnology at that time, which made a powerful biological weapon.

"Biotech is the inventor of alcohol-2 wheat, Peizhuo Petrochemical and Su Petrochemical are the monopolists of alcohol-2 wheat sales, and they don't care how many biotech executives die, but the risk of technology leakage gives them an excuse.

There is an excuse to arrive in the City of Night. ”

V said strangely: "But I don't know about the alcohol 2 wheat technology, we are just doing a commission." ”

"On the surface, that's true." Rogge looked at Lille, "Really?" ”

Lille shook his head.

Indeed not, the seed distribution of alcohol-2 wheat is quite strict, and the DNA editing method is completely secret.

To get this thing, you either have to physically hack into the highest-security premises of these companies, or you can have a cyber company war with them.

Don't you know? He could not have known.

"But it's not up to you, you know what I mean?"

V suddenly: "So they want to call the white one black, just to grab meat to eat in this place of Night City." ”

Jack thought for a moment, "But why?" Which piece of meat do they want to eat? ”

"Good question." Rogge took a drag on his cigarette and paused, "Everyone knows that every company wants to control the world, but no one knows exactly what they want to do right now.

So if you want to know the answer to this question, you can only ask the CEOs in person. ”

Night City is not a big place, but there are a lot of things.

Since Lille began his activities, biotech has been in bad trouble, executives have been killed, rumors have plummeted due to leaks of experimental secrets, and a lizard has escaped from the building.

Military technology was violently beaten in the city center, a large number of combat personnel were killed and wounded, high-ranking officers were killed at border checkpoints, helicopters were shot down, and centaur mechs shone in the city center.

Arasaka Company was violently beaten by online surveillance, and the soul killer was taken away in a small piece for research.

Kang Tao didn't suffer any major injuries on the surface, but in fact, they had been shrouded by accidents since Yatrada's vote, and because they were suspected by Arasaka and the military department when they passed through the border checkpoint, they were now being secretly targeted.

In the end, Su Petrochemical used such an excuse to get on the bar with Peizhuo Petrochemical, the troops can't come, it's no problem to let some immigrants come over, right?

All five companies have a rare big problem, big news.

Maybe it's not just Su Petrochemical that thinks about it, the local companies are all unlucky, and a lot of things have exploded, which company doesn't want to grasp the latest developments of competitors?

Rogge continued: "The good news is that rich people are willing to throw money at it now, and the bad news is that it's more dangerous to work.

And just like the brainless at the door just now, there are always some unruly people who stink. ”

"Will there be something famous?" Jack asked the question he was most concerned about, "That's it. You know, old snake, black hand."

Rogge smiled: "It's hard to say, but if you meet them, will you go up and ask for an autograph?" ”

"Not really."

"They're mercenaries, not celebrities, and if you get it right, you won't be happy."

That's true.

People worship these legendary lone wolves, not because they speak favorably to their juniors, and even sign autographs for them.

worship because they have done shocking things, but mercenaries have employers, and if they are right, it is a life-and-death struggle.

The most famous Morgan black hand was hired to raid the Arasaka Tower to be worshipped, but in reality, his employer was another notorious company, Military Technology.

Maybe some of the famous mercenaries have already been hired?

Jack used to be full of fantasies about these big shots, but now, fantasies are not that far away for him.

Rogge looked at Lille: "The situation is very complicated now, and there should be no one to take this risk in the next life."

It's hard to say elsewhere, but I suggest you be more active lately, it's not just my hope. ”

Lille gave Rogge a deep look: "If the conditions allow. That's what I thought, too. ”

"Very good—you young man is smart enough, and talking to you is worry-free, just tell me if you have any trouble, and I'll help you settle it.

You help me, I'll help you, Night City is like that. ”

After saying that, a mercenary walked into the box and said something to Rog.

Also almost at the same time, Lille received a call from an old acquaintance.

[Contact: Morton" Sergeant"]

[Sergeant Morton: There's a job, we've been served in the Santo Domingue yard!] 】

[Sergeant Morton: Hurry, come here now!] 】

Rogge looked at Lille: "It seems that you have also received the information, the yard of the Six Street Gang has been smashed, and the protection fee will be paid to him after the job is released."

I've heard that you dealt with a traitor for the sergeant before, and it looks like he didn't deal with it himself.

Now he's plugging people there. ”

"This guy is interesting." Jack smiled, "He's asking us to help him with his work." ”

"Why not, you're the best in town."

Night City is a place where no profit can be made early, and the only time the Burger King squad has fought against the Six Street Gang is technically a business.

Not only did they have no grudge against Sergeant Morton, but they also had a good relationship on the whole—the Six Street Gang contributed a lot of start-up capital.

Lille got up from the couch.

Now that he knows what the situation is, he really has to help.

Night City has enough companies, enough urbanization, and it still needs to be controlled.

"But it's kind of weird." Jack said, "I used to fight with the Six Street Gang, but now I have nothing to do and still work for them." ”

"We are mercenaries." Lille shrugged.

"Just working for money?"

"Of course not, we're the other kind—" Lille patted Jack on the shoulder, "work for yourself, so we're in this business, there are no competitors, get in the car, and explain to you slowly." ”

The three of them walked out of the box, and Jack walked to the door of the afterlife and suddenly took out a booklet:

The Enforcer's Handbook – by Morgan Black Hand.

This scene was seen by V: "You don't really want to ask him for an autograph!" ”

"No, no, no! I just thought, I'll write a reference like this in the future."

Looking at the backs of the three of them leaving the nightclub, Rogge suddenly sighed.

She motioned for her subordinates to pour herself a drink, and said, "Wouldn't you be a little excited to hear someone say your father's name?" ”

The man smiled: "A little, but that's not me." ”

Rogge smiled as well and started texting a few contacts.

[Rogge: I said they would do it, and I can see that Burger King is not the kind of person who doesn't kill and bury it. 】
