Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 144 The Perfect Assistant
Santo Domingo, Valley District, super skyscraper H4.

Gloria got up early in the morning, just opened the door and walked out, only to find that Sasha also came out of the next bedroom.

The two smiled at each other.

"Morning~"

After saying hello, a new day of life began.

Gloria saw Sasha walk to the cooking area, picked up the apron and tied it on her body, skillfully took out various ingredients from the refrigerator, and prepared breakfast for the day.

She couldn't help but sigh, Sasha is so good.

Gloria was still wearing light pajamas last night, got up and walked to Sasha to help prepare breakfast.

Since being arranged by Tang Yu, Sasha has lived in Gloria's apartment these days, and the two have quickly become acquainted.

Since the apartment is not big, with only two separate bedrooms, Gloria gave up her own room to Sasha, and she packed David's room and borrowed it for a few days.

David hasn't been back for a while, he stays at the company when he's busy, and stays in a hotel when he's not busy.

Gloria peeled off the skin of the synthetic ham sausage, looked at Sasha who was chopping vegetables, and asked.

"Did you teach yourself all your craft?"

In the days when they lived together recently, Sasha would get up on time every day, and then prepare breakfast after tidying up.

Gloria, who used to sleep in late, was too embarrassed to continue to sleep, and had to get up early to make breakfast with her.

So Sasha was fully dressed, and she was still in pajamas.

She actually has a good impression of Sasha. Not only is his hacking skills superb, but he is also very capable in combat. He also has a good command of life. With his young, delicate and pretty face, he is a perfect assistant.

Gloria was very curious about her past and wanted to know how such a perfect girl grew up, but out of respect for Sasha, she never mentioned it.

Sasha nodded seriously: "Well, Sasha's cooking skills are all self-taught. Follow the information and cooking procedures step by step, and learn slowly."

Gloria nodded thoughtfully, put the peeled synthetic ham sausage on the dinner plate, and raised her hand to pull off the loose silk shoulder strap.

Sasha turned his head and found that Gloria was still in her pajamas, so she reminded with a smile, "Sasha can prepare breakfast."

Seeing Sasha's smiling face, Gloria felt inexplicably wanting to touch her cat's head. She remembered that Tang Yu seemed to have touched her head like this.

As Mr. Tang's company assistant, only someone as good as Sasha can do it.

Gloria went back to her room, changed into her normal clothes and came out to help.

With the cooperation of the two, it didn't take long for a hearty breakfast to be prepared.

Sasha put two sets of tableware on the table, and when Gloria came over after washing up, she took the initiative to greet her.

"Let's eat quickly."

Gloria smiled and said, "We're together."

The two sat down at the dining table and began to enjoy today's breakfast.

Gloria just picked up a small piece of bread and put it in her mouth when she received a communication request.

She smiled and apologized tactfully to Sasha, then turned the circle of prosthetic eyes and connected the phone.

Seeing the red-haired beauty in front of him answering the phone while eating breakfast, Sasha couldn't help but think of Tang Yu.

She also sees Tang Yu answering the phone every breakfast and dealing with some instant messages.

Sasha moved a few casually, feeling a little dull.

"I don't know what Mr. Tang is busy with?"

"Who will prepare breakfast for him?"

"Are you going to work at home again?"

She lived well with Gloria, and usually went out to run missions with her, and was responsible for protecting Gloria's personal safety.

Considering Sasha's identity, Tang Yu specially asked Lao Wei to prepare a pair of electronic fluorescent cat masks for Sasha, which can block the reading of facial information.

Every time Sasha goes out, she wears a cat mask to avoid being recognized.

She is actually curious about the relationship between Gloria and Tang Yu.

Sasha can see from the incident entrusted by Badlands last time that Tang Yu and Gloria have known each other earlier, and their relationship is unusual. The number and time of calling each other are in the forefront of contacts.

She saw that Gloria's brows were frowning, and she guessed that this call should not be Mr. Tang. If Mr. Tang called, Gloria would have signaled her in advance.

Gloria got a call from Mann.

Mann told her that the commission to arrest Zhengfa Jotaro has been completed, and it depends on how she handles the follow-up matters.

Before Gloria had found out that the man behind the disappearance was Jotaro Mashoho, but because there was no trace of the other party, the victim could not be caught.

After Tang Yu learned about it, he went to the Phoenix Club to gamble, which led to Zhengfa Jotaro. Only then did he know that he usually likes to hide in the secret base upstairs of the club and record the dark super dream that cannot be seen.

Due to Mashobo Jotaro's strong sense of secrecy, he installed security equipment in the secret base to isolate the signal search, so few people know where he is hiding.

Tang Yu transferred this information to Gloria and asked her to arrange follow-up matters by herself.

After Gloria got the information, she communicated with the client of the Mox Gang again, and the other party was willing to pay a high price to kidnap Masahiro Jotaro.

So Gloria contacted Mann's team to cooperate in kidnapping Jotaro Masamune.

And today.

Mann's team has completed the commission of kidnapping Jotaro Masamune, and is communicating with Gloria about the follow-up matters.

on the phone.

Mann said in a deep voice: "We have successfully captured the target person, stunned him, and transported him to the designated location."

"In order to prevent being traced, a shielding chip is installed in his biological nerve socket, what are we going to do next?"

Gloria asked, "Is the deep diving equipment over there still usable?"

Mann: "It's all ready."

Gloria thought for a while and said bluntly, "Okay, I'll come right over."

According to Mox's entrustment, after abducting Zhengfa Jotaro, he was transferred to a secret settlement, and then handed over to Mox for handling.

The preparation of deep-diving equipment was also a request from Mox. Gloria guessed that they most likely wanted to hack into the neural network system of Masahiro Jotaro to dig out more information.

After hanging up the phone.

Gloria immediately dialed the phone number of the client of the Mox Gang to inform the other party of the successful kidnapping of Jotaro Mashobo, and made an appointment to meet at the secret settlement.

After all this is done.

Gloria looked at Sasha and said seriously: "The matter of Shobo Jotaro has come to an end, let's go there now."

She had previously told Sasha the general process of Mox's commission. After all, the reason why she came to live with him in the house was this commission.

During this period of time, the situation was calm, and the two did not encounter threats or revenge from the Tiger Claw Gang.

When Sasha heard that he was about to set off, he immediately got up and sorted out his equipment, put on a tactical uniform, put on a cat mask, and activated the anti-identification function. An electronic blue fluorescent cat covered his entire face.

After the two finished packing, they seized the time to open the door and set off.

They took a taxi and arrived at the secret settlement, an abandoned apartment building in Watson's North End.

After getting out of the car, they took the steps upstairs.

Sasha paid special attention to the surrounding monitoring probes, and directly invaded and took over the monitoring system in order to detect abnormalities around him in time.

The two arrived at a steel gate in the corridor on the third floor, and after the access control identification authentication, the door opened automatically.

This place is a resettlement site that Gloria specially spent money to transform, and it is specially used for some inconvenient transactions, such as kidnapping.

She has been a middleman for a while, and found that many of the commissions are related to people. In order to facilitate the resettlement of the target object, she selected several abandoned apartments in some areas and transformed them into secret settlements. This is one of them.

As soon as she entered the room, Gloria saw the big man Mann, and Masho Jotaro tied to the stool, and he had passed out.

"How is the operation going? Is it going well?"

Mann looked at them, especially the one wearing a cat mask next to Gloria, hesitated for a moment, then said.

"Everything went smoothly. Qiwei and Lucy hacked into the security system on the second floor of the club, and we took the opportunity to sneak in through the alley."

"I happened to see Zhengfa Jotaro coming out to smoke after recording Heichaomeng, so he was stunned and tied up."

"After the target was settled, everyone retreated in time and succeeded."

"Now this guy's subordinates should have realized that they are looking for someone everywhere, which probably alarmed the Tiger Claw Gang."

Gloria felt relieved when she heard that Mann's team was moving smoothly. As long as their whereabouts are not leaked, everyone is safe now.

"Okay, just leave it to me, and I will deal with the follow-up matters."

After finishing speaking, Gloria's righteous eye circle turned and transferred money to Mann to pay the commission fee.

Mann received all the rewards, looked at Sasha wearing a cat mask, and said boldly: "If you need help, just call me."

Gloria thanked and explained: "It is estimated that the Mox Gang will conduct a deep dive on Jotaro Mashobo."

"After digging out information about the missing person, I may trouble you to save them."

"Mox brought the hacker for himself and is on his way."

Mann nodded: "No problem, this guy should be able to dig out a lot of things in his mind, please pay more attention to safety."

The handover of the target task was completed, and the commission was successfully concluded. When Mann walked to the gate and was about to leave, he still couldn't help but turn around and ask.

"The person next to you was arranged by Mr. Tang, right?"

Obviously.

Mann has recognized Sasha and knows that she is wearing a cat mask to hide her identity.

Gloria gave him an affirmative answer.

Sasha looked at Mann through the fluorescent mask. She had already recalled some of her memories, but she couldn't mention a single word.

This is Tang Yu's order and her protection.

After receiving an affirmative answer, Mann turned and left. The rest of the matter was between the middleman and the funder. He was not suitable to be present as a mercenary.

Sasha glanced at Masahiro Jotaro, scanned his biological signs, and found that his life was not in danger, but he was temporarily in a coma state, and the shielding chip was still working normally.

The two waited for a while at the secret settlement, and the access control reminded someone to visit.

Gloria checked who was coming. It was the three girls of Mox. The leading young lady had two balls on her head and carried a baseball bat on her shoulder.

Standing next to her was a beautiful woman with short rainbow hair, wearing a one-shoulder suspender jumpsuit, with four roses tattooed on her neck and arms.

The floodgates open.

The three girls from the Mox gang walked in straight away, and the little baseball girl glanced around the room, and saw Gloria and the others, as well as Jotaro Masahiro tied to a chair.

"Good job, this is the scum we're looking for."

After finishing speaking, the little baseball girl turned her eyes to them, looked back and forth between the two of them a few times, and then fixedly looked at Gloria.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be Ms. Gloria."

It was also the first time for the girls of the Mox gang to meet Gloria in person, and their commissions were communicated by phone before.

Gloria saw the entrusting master coming, and said bluntly: "That's right, the person has already been brought to you."

The little baseball girl stepped aside and introduced to Gloria the beauty with short rainbow hair next to her.

"This is Judy, I entrust her to talk to you later."

Judy took two steps forward and took the initiative to thank Gloria.

"Thank you this time."

After speaking, Zhu Diyi's eyes circled and he paid Gloria the commission fee.

After paying, she glared at the fainting Mashobho Jotaro, and said coldly.

"How many innocent people have been killed by this scum, this is what he deserves, and today is the day for him to pay the price!"

During the investigation, Gloria also learned of what Jotaro Mashobo did, and hated his despicable, dirty and bloody methods, so she agreed with Judy's words.

"You're right, this kind of scum deserves a taste of hell."

"He has so many innocent people's blood on his hands, he must pay with blood."

"I've done an investigation. This scum just picked on the unarmed girl standing on the street. His methods are extremely cruel, and death is not a pity."

Judy looked at Gloria in surprise, but she didn't expect that she also hated this scum.

in fact.

Before Judy found Gloria, she also found several middlemen to investigate the girl's disappearance.

But those middlemen either didn't pick up, or they just let go after receiving half of it.

Only Gloria not only accepted the commission, but also successfully investigated the truth and caught the culprit, Masho Jotaro.

She also understands that there is indeed a relatively high risk in investigating the entrustment of the top level of the Tiger Claw Gang.

Because the Tiger Claw Gang is notoriously protective, even if the lowest member of the gang is bullied, they will suffer strong revenge from the entire Tiger Claw Gang.

This is why many people would rather go to the scavenger's land to find people than provoke the Tiger Claw Gang.

The Tiger Claws are more strictly a group gang than the vengeful but loosely structured Scavengers.

This increased Judy's affection for Gloria.

The most important thing is that she feels that Gloria is bloody, unlike ordinary middlemen who are full of money and power.

at this time.

The five girls unanimously decided to give Zhengfa Jotaro some ruthlessness.

The little girl held a baseball bat in her right hand and poked Masho Jotaro in the face.

soon.

Jotaro Shoho, who was hit in the face by a hard object, opened his eyes in a daze, and gradually woke up.

He saw the five girls wearing fluorescent masks in front of him, and his head was a little dazed. He remembered that he was recording Chaomeng on the second floor of the Phoenix Club just now, and was suddenly attacked and fainted. He opened his eyes and came here.

Mashobho Jotaro glanced around, and immediately understood that he had been kidnapped, and the biological signals in his body were blocked, making it impossible to get in touch with the outside world.

He smiled contemptuously: "You guys belong to Mox, right? But anyone who has done a bit of a backstory should know the consequences of doing it."

"If you don't want Mox to suffer even more tragic revenge, I advise you to stop now, otherwise."

Bang!
Before Mashobo Jotaro finished speaking, a baseball bat hit him in the face, directly knocking out several of his teeth, and his mouth was full of blood.

The little girl said coldly: "This stick is for Mox."

Shofa Jotaro turned his head slowly, resisting the pain, and smiled sinisterly, with bloody froth in his mouth, just about to speak.

Another stick came and hit his arm.

click!
The severe pain caused by the broken and shattered bones made his facial expression extremely distorted.

The stick was wielded by Gloria, and she said coldly, "This stick is for the girls."

Next, several people took turns holding baseball bats and bombarding Zhengfa Jotaro's non-lethal parts.

It didn't take long for him to be beaten so badly that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and he looked like he was dying.

Sasha scanned the situation to confirm the situation, Shen Sheng said: "His biological signs fluctuate within the normal range, and adrenaline can be injected to enhance his vitality."

Zhengfa Chengtaro's face was covered with blood, and he said vaguely: "Oh, then, those girls died so badly."

"With your little means, it's impossible to find the missing Iou Tiao."

Obviously, Mashobo Jotaro had no intention of revealing the truth at all.

Judy took the baseball bat, shook it in his hand, aimed directly at his roots, and said coldly.

"Very well, your mouth is indeed tough enough, but we will have to see later whether your brain is also this tough!"

After finishing speaking, she raised the stick high and slammed it down, hitting the vital point directly.

The eggshell is broken.

Masahiro Jotaro was pierced by severe pain, his eyeballs almost popped out, the pain was so painful that he couldn't even make a sound, and passed out again, with his head bowed and motionless.

After teaching Mashobo Jotaro a lesson, Judy decided to proceed to the next step.

She had long expected that Jotaro Mashobo might not be willing to explain anything, so she specially arranged for Mox to help hackers dive deep into his brain's neural network to find relevant information.

Gloria has prepared the deep diving equipment in advance and plugged in the data connection cable for Masho Jotaro.

the other side.

Mox helped the hacker take off his clothes, lay down in the icy bath, and connected the optical cable to the deep dive port behind his head.

soon.

The deep dive begins.

Masho Jotaro may not have expected such a day. The ICE level loaded was average, and the deep dive process was relatively smooth. With Sasha watching from the side, it is basically impossible for accidents to happen.

The time of waiting.

Judy folded her arms around her body, looked at Gloria and asked, "How long have you been a middleman, I never heard that there is such a good player as you in Night City."

Gloria said frankly: "I haven't been in this business for long, and I'm still worse than a real middleman."

She thinks this is telling the truth, after all, Tang Yu's support is inseparable from the beginning to the present.

Without Tang Yu, there would be no her today.

And she felt that she was far from growing up to the point where she could independently support the title of middleman.

Judy couldn't help but smile a little more: "Don't be too modest, this just shows that you have the talent to do this."

"You're not like those middlemen who get into the eyes of money. At least in my opinion, you are really good."

Seeing Judy praise herself without hesitation, Gloria felt a little embarrassed.

The little baseball girl next to her added with a smile: "Judy is Mox's baby, and someone who can be recognized by her is definitely a good job."

Gloria just smiled, and then asked: "Shoho Jotaro is a senior member of the Tiger Claw Gang. Kidnapping him may cause the Tiger Claw Gang to retaliate."

The little sister said angrily: "How dare they?! Mox is not afraid of them."

Judy showed a bit of worry, but in fact, it was mainly her idea to kidnap Masho Jotaro.

When Susie refused to take in those street girls, Judy realized that the disappearance might involve the Tiger Claw Gang, but she didn't expect it to be the scum of Zhengfa Jotaro.

Judy didn't want Mox or Lizzie's bar to be hit, but she couldn't swallow the breath in her heart.

Even Evelyn had persuaded her not to meddle in the affairs of those girls outside, after all, they were not from Mox.

Zhu Di also understands these reasons, but she really can't stand by and watch. Hearing the news of girls disappearing one after another every day, I feel my heart is pulled.

"Let's take a step later, but this scum has to pay for what he did!"

Gloria nodded.

If people like Zhengfa Jotaro are not eliminated, those girls will have no peace.

This kind of scum is like the cockroaches in Night City, kill one and soon a new nest will emerge.

But at least the girls are safe for a moment before popping out.

Suddenly, Judy received a communication request.

Evelyn?
After she signaled to everyone that there was a call, she walked out of the gate and answered after confirming that there was no one around.

Evelyn's tone was somewhat reproachful, and she asked eagerly, "Judy, is the matter of Jotaro Masamori related to you? Right now, people from the Phoenix Club and the Tiger Claw Gang are out there, searching for him everywhere." figure!"

Zhu Di was also suffocating with anger: "So what about Zhengfa Jotaro, without him as a scourge in Night City, what impact will it have? If they can find it, let them find it. Anyway, Night City has no more troubles." This number of people!"

Evelyn said anxiously: "Judy, you don't even know how deep the water is here. Jotarou Mashobo has a lot of connections with the upper echelons of Night City, and he has too many secrets. You will kill yourself!"

She seemed to feel that what she said was not clear enough, and the other party did not realize the seriousness of the problem, so she added again.

"Now not only the members of the Tiger Claw Gang, but even the NCPD are dispatched, looking for clues to Masamune Jotaro."

"And the people from the Tiger Claw Gang have already taken Suzie Q away, and it is estimated that they will find you soon."

"If you don't want to implicate Mox, Lizi, and yourself, you should quickly clean up the tail and let him go!"

Judy was so angry that she didn't want to say anything, and hung up on Evelyn directly.

She saw in the contact list, a message from Suzy Q, Li Zi's boss, asking her to save Masahiro Jotaro's life, otherwise no one will be able to stop the matter from getting serious.

"hateful!"

"A scum from Night City has disappeared, and it's just like this."

"The girls are missing, and I don't see any of you showing any compassion!"

Judy felt a desperate irony.

After a moment of silence.

She got up and returned to the house, and the deep dive operation was over.

The hackers of the Mox Gang came out of the cold bath and told everyone all the information they had dug up.

It turns out that there are still many missing girls who are being locked up in an abandoned factory container at this time, where some of Masahiro Jotaro's subordinates are watching.

After Gloria learned about it, she immediately contacted Mann and asked them to rush to the destination of the container as soon as possible to rescue the kidnapped people.

After doing all this.

Everyone's eyes fell on Masahiro Jotaro, and how to deal with him became the final problem.

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "You guys go first, and I will deal with this dregs."

The little baseball girl asked puzzledly: "Judy, did something happen? Let's kill this scum and go back to Lizi."

Zhu Di explained with some helplessness: "Xiao Ai got information from there, and now the Tiger Claw Gang is looking for Zhengfa Jotaro everywhere, and Susie has already gone to negotiate with the Tiger Claw Gang, and wants to keep this scum alive."

The little baseball girl snorted: "Fuck, Suzie is still so soft-boned, at worst, she will fight with the Tiger Claw Gang, who is afraid of whom?"

Gloria at the side immediately recognized the clue. She knew that the current owner of Lizzie Bar was Susie Q.

That is to say, this commission has caused disagreements within the Mox Gang. One group supports Judy to work with the Tiger Claw Gang, and the other group is represented by Suzie who wants to compromise with the Tiger Claw Gang.

She immediately said: "But if you kill this scum, I'm afraid you will never have the chance to return to Lizi, and the Tiger Claw Gang will not let you go."

The little baseball girl immediately said indignantly: "Just because of this scum? The super dream of Lizi's bar is all supported by Judy. Without her, Lizi wouldn't be called Lizi!"

Judy also knew the consequences of killing Jotaro Mashobo.

The meaning of this message sent by Susie is that if Chengfa Jotaro is not allowed to die, she will be sold to the Tiger Claw Gang to calm the situation.

Judy didn't want to hurt the other two Mox sisters, at worst, she would kill Mashojo Jotaro alone, and then hide in another place.

Just when Judy was hesitating, Sasha suddenly noticed something unusual.

She found that the surveillance camera downstairs in the apartment took pictures, and crowds gradually gathered on the street. Among them were many members of the Tiger Claw Gang, with tattoos all over their arms, looking fierce.

"There is a situation. People from the Tiger Claw Gang have come here."

Everyone was shocked.

　gone tonight
