Chapter 789 Newcomer
The sunlight passed through the glass windows and illuminated the apartment in front of you.
A new day has begun.
“Good morning, Night City——!”
The sound from the radio echoed in the apartment. D opened his eyes, sat up slowly and yawned. At the same time, Liumiel''s voice came to her ears.
"Good morning, Lord Judge."
"Good morning, Liumiel, is there anything wrong with it?"
“There was a call from Roger, which seemed to be about the commission.”
"I understand, call back."
"clear."
Accompanied by the phone call, D stood up, changed his clothes again, and then came to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the Night City outside. At this moment, the phone also answered.
"Good morning, D, have you finally woken up?"
"Getting to bed early and getting up early is good for your health. What''s the matter with me?"
"Let''s go short, I have someone to entrust you, come here and talk."
"If you have any entrustment, you can''t contact me directly, and you still have to go to the next life?"
"Anyway, I''ll know when I come. I won''t cheat you."
"All right."
After the conversation, D hung up the phone, washed his face, then turned around and left the apartment, then drove all the way, reaching the next life as fast as possible.
When the white sports car roared into the parking lot, and then drifted and parked steadily in the parking space, everyone nearby couldn''t help but lowered their voices. They looked at the girl in white robe and hooded walking out of the sports car with all kinds of complex gazes, and then headed to Laisheng Nightclub''s back, not daring to take a breath.
It has been half a month since D and Roger signed the contract. During this period, D was famous in the mercenary circle.
First of all, it is already quite exciting news for a native to dare to break into the next life without any of it. Of course, the premise is that she succeeds. If she fails, she will only become another laughing stock in the underground society of Night City. However, she not only directly knocked down the next life in front of everyone, but also gained Roger''s appreciation, which is enviable.
More importantly, she is native.
In other words, no place on this girl''s body has been transformed, which is quite rare in Night City. The only device she carries is a portable terminal that looks like it would only be used by humans in the Middle Ages, and a pair of holographic information glasses.
However, it is such a person who originally thought to be just the lowermost native, but in just half a month, he became the most famous mercenary in Night City, no doubt about it.
Of course, among the mercenaries, the battle of fame about D was her debut. According to rumors, Rogge wanted to try her skills at that time, so he took her to a scavenger''s base and asked her to kill the leader. Everyone knows how cruel the scavengers are. Even mercenaries are not willing to become enemies with this pervert who dare to make corpses and excavate their own organs.
But after listening to Roger''s explanation, the girl just said, "Wait for me."
Then I opened the car door and walked into the base.
Then a moment later, she came back with the head of the leader.
And she also swept away the dozens of scavengers in the entire base and were all killed.
The whole process was less than five minutes.
No one knew how she did it, but he knew that all the scavengers were dismembered by the five horses, and they were dead and there was no residue left.
To be honest, as the story of his debut, D is indeed called a legend.
Although she said that, D was not very popular in the mercenary circle, and everyone didn''t like her very much. This was not because she was not very approachable. But because D''s existence itself is a mockery of them - they tried their best, gave up everything, and obtained the power they gained after transforming their bodies is far less than that of an ordinary person who has not installed any implants. So what is the meaning of the sacrifices they made?
In order to become stronger, he risked becoming a cyber madman and replaced his flesh and blood with machinery, but he was still not the opponent''s one-piece enemy - well, this will indeed make people begin to doubt life.
Passing through the door and walking down the stairs, D came to the gate of the Next Life Nightclub again - by the way, since the last incident, the security guards at the next life nightclub have changed from one to four. After all, after D''s story spread, there were countless idiots who wanted to learn from D and make a name for themselves.
Of course, they were all thrown out.
By the way, after improving security strength in the next life, D was also invited to conduct the test.
The result...well, it''s still a bunch of waste.
After all, even if there are a hundred more, it is impossible to beat her.
Seeing D, the bodyguards also moved aside and looked at the girl in front of them with a complicated expression and walked into the next life. The latter didn''t even look at them, and entered the lobby of the next life nightclub and then arrived at the old seat. And here, Roger had been waiting for her.
"Yo, you''re here, D."
"What''s the matter?"
D sat opposite Roger, staring at her with dissatisfaction and complained.
"You know, I don''t like the smell of smoke and I hate these noisy music."
Hearing D''s complaint, Roger chuckled and raised his cup.
"Don''t you have a glass? Whiskey?"
"No, I''ll just drink soda."
"Really, I''m still like a child."
"Thinking that smoking, drinking, drinking, taking drugs is a mature adult, and this kind of idea is a little devil."
After taking the iced can, Lelemon opened it, D took a sip and said.
"So in my opinion, those who are immersed in this are just children who cannot grow up, anxious, ignorant, and loss. There is no place for them in this world, and they don''t know what they should do, so they shout and cry and vent their dissatisfaction like children."
"Why, do you want to go from a mercenary to a philosopher?" "It''s just because of your feelings, don''t care."
D shook his head. In D''s opinion, this city is actually no different from a nest. The civilians survived as slaves, and the high-ranking governor enjoyed glory and wealth. Underneath the nests that look extremely gorgeous, there is a place full of filth and shadows of evil.
"So, what''s the matter with asking me to come?"
"First of all, the commission... Claire Diderick, a student, is currently caught by the Uzumaki Kung Fu. The client is her father, and I hope to rescue her as soon as possible."
"That''s it?"
Looking at the chips that were coming from the table, D frowned.
"You called me to the next life just for this?"
"Of course it''s not just that, I''m going to introduce you to a partner."
“Partner?”
“That’s right.”
As he spoke, Roger snapped his fingers, and then D saw a girl with bright white shoulder-length short hair walking in. Her expression was a little nervous and stiff.
"I''ll introduce it. This is Lucy. He just arrived in Night City. He is a hacker with good means. For you, you also need the help of hackers, right?"
"I don''t need any hackers at all."
D stared at the girl named Lucy, who stood there with a stiff and nervous expression.
"You should know that every task I completed smoothly, no alarms were triggered, and no..."
“That’s right.”
However, before D''s words were finished, he was interrupted by Roger. She turned her head and stared at D.
"Yes, your tasks are completed smoothly. Every task is not triggered, nor is it discovered by the outside world. But... this is the problem. Let me tell me how a native native who has no implants at all is hacked into the Internet?"
"Don''t I have a personal terminal?"
"Just rely on the medieval goods from fifty years ago in your hands? Are you mocking all the hackers in Night City?"
Roger glanced at the personal terminal on D''s hand and snorted coldly.
"Listen, D. If you don''t want to say it, then I don''t want to know how you did it. It''s not good to do our job well, but you can''t stop others from thinking that way, right? Once the company''s attention is attracted, it''s another matter - think about it, when they learn that someone doesn''t install the protoplasm, they can also hack the Internet, paralyze the equipment, and cut off communications, what do you think they will do to you?"
"No matter what they want, the premise must be able to catch me first."
"You are not underestimating the company."
"to be honest………"
D put down the Coke in his hand.
"In my opinion, those lackeys from capitalists are not threatening at all, so..."
[Wait a minute, Lord Judge]
However, just as D was about to reject Roger''s proposal, suddenly, Lumier''s voice sounded in her ears.
[If possible, please agree]
"Why? With you here, I don''t need other hackers'' help."
Hearing Liumier''s suggestion, D raised his eyebrows slightly.
[…I think she needs help]
“…?”
D tilted his head and looked at Lucy again. The latter was obviously a little uncomfortable when D looked at him. It is obvious that after staying in Night City for half a month, D also has a certain understanding of this city. An independent city is also a safe haven for countless people who want to escape from the past. In fact, most mercenaries come here to escape some things like black history in the past.
There must be similar things in this girl, but Lumier had never made such a request before.
“…… Just keep her.”
D sighed silently in his heart and looked at Rogue.
"Yes, I will gradually release the wind and say that there is an excellent hacker support behind you, so that everyone can accept it."
"All right."
As he spoke, D picked up the chip and stood up.
"You''re finished? Then start working."
"You are still a workaholic as always."
"This is not a simple job for me, Roger."
D turned his head and looked at Rogue.
“This is an interesting game.”
Then, she spoke.
