Cyberpunk: 2075

Blanca's newsletter?

Karl answered the call without thinking too much.

Carl: On mission, anything?

Blanca: Did you just destroy a nightwalker camp?

just?

Karl looked at the fleeing night ghosts and corrected her statement.

Carl: Right now, to be precise.

Blanca: Did you rescue an engineer named Thomas Stein?

Carl: Yes, your military technology.

After Karl's words, Blanca was silent for a while, and just when Karl thought she had ended the communication, she sent another message.

Blanca: I sold this guy.

Listening to these words, Karl fell silent. He remembered that when he told Thomas Stein just now that he knew Blanca, the other party was even more excited.

Originally, Karl thought that the other party was just too excited, like a mad dog, catching and biting anyone, but...

Co-authored, you really sold him out.

Blanca: In order for them to handle it well, I sent four subordinates to deal with it. You should let them go, right?

four..:

Carl thought of the four guys who were running away so fast.

I asked how in this bad land, four guys suddenly appeared with Krenzikov's prosthetic body that needs constant maintenance. ’

Karl: Rather than letting them go, it’s better to say that they ran faster and didn’t have time to kill them.

Blanca: Come on, I still don’t know what you are capable of. If you wanted to kill them, you would have killed them long ago. I owe you a favor. Don’t worry about Thomas Stein. He is just a nobody. In military technology The position here has also been cancelled. If you can save a person who has been fired, just save him.

Something is wrong.

Karl sensed something was wrong.

Karl has worked with a company dog ​​like Blanca so many times, and he is still very clear about her unprofitable temperament. Those people are her subordinates. She obviously does not need to say it, but she just mentions it and says she owes her A favor, something very wrong.

Moreover, she sold Thomas Stan and accepted the commission to rescue him. She did not complain a few words, and then spent more money to allow herself to get rid of Thomas Stan after the mission was over to achieve a perfect ending and eliminate the root cause. Instead, she showed that he was not important. , this is quite, particularly wrong.

"What are you planning?"

"Scheming, I owe you a favor, does this count as a plot against you? Am I just going to stop letting you believe it?"

"I don't believe it. It's weird that you owe someone a favor and Thomas Stein won't kill you."

He answered without hesitation. Carl didn't believe Blanca, a company dog ​​he knew well.

"Oh, forget it, I won't joke with you, just think that I really want to get to know you.

The favor is owed to you, so keep it with peace of mind. Later you can use this favor to ask me to do some small things or something. I'm quite happy. As for Thomas Stein, you don't even know who did it after being sold. , because of the reason for being expelled, there are special people to deal with it, but I don’t need to take action. "

Thomas Stein's doubts were lifted, but for favors...

"Do you regard favors as an open transaction? Don't come to you for small things, in other words, big things?

"Hmm, it's just four subordinates, but it's not enough for me to take the initiative to owe you a favor."

It feels weird.

Listening to Blanca's words that sounded like a chat between friends, Karl felt that he was not used to it. He was now 100%, 100%, 1000%, absolutely certain that this guy must have some unexplainable plan.

After thinking for a while, Karl asked a question.

"What you are planning now shouldn't make me have to kill you with my own hands in the end, right?"

They were all acquaintances, so even Karl would hesitate a little to kill him.

"Ah?"

Listening to Karl's words, Blanca on the other end of the communication was obviously stunned for a moment, and then she realized what Karl meant, so her tone became a little more annoyed:

"You bastard mercenary, why do you think I'm plotting against you about everything about me? Why can't you think about it carefully? It's a shame that I expected what you were thinking!"

"What's the meaning?"

Karl's question made Blanca even more annoyed: "Come on, do you have any need for love? I'm not afraid to tell you. Even if you want to ask me out for a meal, I can agree!"

After saying this, the communication was cut off by the angry Blanca.

Is this a deliberate expression to relax yourself?

Karl frowned.

As expected of a qualified company dog, he actually took steps to retreat and made himself believe it by making it look like he was angry.

However, even if he invites her to dinner, what does it mean that she will agree?

Just say something casually to increase your sense of trust?

It's not that Carl didn't think about it, Blanca really wanted to borrow this favor and go out for a meal with him, but the impression of Blanca as a shrewd company dog ​​left too deep a impression on Carl's mind. It was hard for him to think about this possibility.

If she can't afford it, she must be coveting something of her own.

This is something Carl can be sure of.

But I have to think carefully about what else is worth coveting.

Is it my own strength?

She wants to do what she said before, to have a relationship with herself, to let herself be her subordinate and help her with things?

Weird.

It shouldn't be that he actually had to shoot her in the end.

After being puzzled for a while, Carl was about to go back to help Jack and the others clean up the battlefield, and sent a text in his communication with Blanca.

"If you really want to date me, I'd love that Spanish restaurant downtown."

Just like it if you like it.

"I like that restaurant too, but it's a bit expensive."

After Karl walked over and helped Jack and the others search for the night ghosts around the entrance of the cave, Blanca, who had been silent for a long time, sent another message.

"I can treat you."

dinner?

See, I'll tell you what the purpose is.

He actually bribed himself with delicious food.

"When we meet in a few days, are you ready to talk in person? Can I bring others with me?"

"You are dining with someone of the opposite sex, and are there other people around you?'

Carl thought about Mrs. Wells and Misty: "Of course, otherwise."

,.. Then, I can cover the entire store. Anyway, do you have time on Christmas Eve? '

"I'm not sure about Christmas Eve. I have to go to the bar for dinner as a team on Christmas Day."

"My biometric monitoring just reminded me that my blood pressure has risen, and now I understand how to talk to a guy like you properly."

"How to say?"

Karl picked up the firearm on the ground and looked at it for a few times, and found that it was useless. He sighed and threw it on the ground. Then, he received a sum of euros.

"Forty thousand euros, you came to a Spanish store alone on Christmas Eve. Your mission was to accompany me to dinner and protect me. "You could have just said no earlier. I will definitely be happy if there is a job. I will definitely come when the time comes. Can you only be alone? , if you didn’t say before that you could cover the whole store and protect you, wouldn’t it be better for the team to do so? "

"one person!"

This is the same as in the past. What problems have arisen internally? There are no trusted subordinates who can use it, and they cannot be too arrogant, and the number of people cannot be large, so are you looking for yourself?

Is this her true purpose?

"I'll go."

After the message was sent, there was no movement from Blanca's side, as if she no longer wanted to continue talking to Karl.

After searching for half an hour, Karl thought of a possibility somewhat belatedly.

Isn't it really possible that Blanca just found an excuse to date herself?

This may have been quickly forgotten by Carl.

because.

She gave money.

As early as Karl's time, he knew that paying for a date was not serious.

For something like a date, you have to pay to get it. Either there is something wrong with the two parties, or something is wrong with one of the parties. Karl thinks that there is nothing wrong with him, so there must be something wrong with Blanca and she is planning something.

After all, that's 40,000 euros.

A total of 40,000 euros was higher than the employment fee Karl gave V and the others.
