Cyberpunk: 2075

Chapter 246 8. Big Shot

"Mr. Johnson."

"We haven't seen each other for a while. How are you doing lately, Karl?"

"It's the same job as usual, there's no difference."

Carl stood under the H8 super skyscraper in the Westbrook District, talking to Mr. Jensen who was waiting. He looked up at the building that was no different from where he lived, and thought of it a bit hindsight. Things:

"Speaking of which, Mr. Jensen, it turns out you also live in an apartment."

"What if?"

Jason glanced at Karl, who looked very surprised, and understood what the boy was probably thinking: "You wouldn't think that the place I live in is a single-family villa, or a high-rise mansion, would you?"

"It's not to that extent. I just feel that since I belong to the police chief, I should be able to live a little more comfortably."

“This is already a very cost-effective place.”

Jason has always felt that Karl must have been born into a powerful family, and he became a mercenary only because of something he encountered. Now his guess has been confirmed. Live in a more comfortable place. Listen, this is what people say. ?.

You know, anyone who can live in a place like this is considered a prominent figure in the Night City. It has to be more spacious. How much do you earn per month?

"No, this kid Karl seems to be able to make much more money than me in a month...

As a police sergeant, Jensen's annual salary is about 300,000 euros, excluding corruption and bribery, which is 25,000 euros a month, but he has to use this money to do many things.

For example, paying rent, eating and drinking on a daily basis, purchasing necessary equipment for himself and his subordinates, using part of the money as a pension, and giving it to the family members of some former subordinates who died, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc., etc. Yue spent all the money soon after he got it, leaving him very poor. Even buying a 2,000-euro Ajax had to be hesitant for a long time.

Compared to him, Carl's income... :

The more Mr. Jensen thought about it, the more autistic he became. The gap between people was so great that he fell silent.

Unaware that Mr. Johnson is autistic, Carl thinks about Andy.

Andy used to have his own residence, but after attacking the Tiger Claw gang and being put on the gang's wanted list, he could no longer return to his original home. Therefore, after Regina judged that Andy was mentally normal, he was now temporarily The place where he lives is Mr. Johnson’s home, which is in the room in the H8 apartment building in front of him.

Now, he was waiting for Carl.

After taking the elevator with Mr. Jensen all the way to the fourteenth floor, Carl found that although the H8 looked exactly like the H10 he lived in from the outside, there were differences inside.

For example, this floor is.

Karl looked a little surprised at the children running in the corridor.

Children running in the corridor?

If it were placed in Karl's era, he would definitely not be a little bit strange, but in this era.

The residents in the super skyscrapers come from all over the world, so it’s not surprising that there are people inside. Aren’t the parents who live in the apartment buildings worried about their children?

This is not a place with a strong street atmosphere like Haywood and Santo Domingo, where children are watched by neighbors or gang members, but a place where the tenants may change at any time, and it is the first place for outsiders to live in Night City. Is it really okay if this place doesn’t have some protection?

To put it bluntly, if someone wants to do something to this group of children, it only takes about ten seconds for him to pull out his gun and clear the corridor. There is no place to hide in this straight place.

Noticing Karl's curious eyes looking at the children around him, Mr. Jensen, who knew what Karl was thinking, had already recovered from the depression of his income. He motioned Karl to look at some locations in the corridor:

"Look over there Carl."

"Um?"

Carl followed the position indicated by Mr. Jensen and found a rather familiar young man leaning on the corridor with a good view, staring at the group of children and the people going up and downstairs.

This familiar young man...

Karl blinked and recognized him.

The other party was Mr. Johnson's subordinate. Carl had seen him in the team led by Mr. Johnson.

"I see."

Carl understood immediately.

"Are all the police officers' families living on this floor?"

"It's more than just this level, but that's about it. Let people who don't work take turns watching, which can be regarded as replacing the mechanical care of the children."

Mr. Jensen was talking about the childcare robots developed in this era: "After all, I am still relatively old-school, and I always feel that I cannot rely on machines for everything."

"That's the truth."

Karl now understood why he felt that this floor was different.

Because if you think about it carefully, this floor is just a small street, no different from the neighbors in Heywood and Santo Domingo who spontaneously united together. Even the shelter staff just changed from a gang to another. Gangs' only.

"I understand now why Andy can stay here without others knowing."

"He grew up like this before."

Mr. Johnson looked at the children running on the corridor with a look of reminiscence on his face: "But they moved out later, but they are still our people here, so we have to take care of them."

"And even if the Tiger Claw Gang knew about it, they wouldn't dare to blatantly attack the NCPD's family area, would they?"

Apart from force and the company, there is only one other gang that can deter a gang. Now it seems that aside from other things, Mr. Johnson's gang called NCPD is quite intimidating.

Karl noticed that the police officer saw him and took the initiative to nod at him and say hello.

When the other party saw Karl, he smiled and nodded in greeting.

Neither party spoke, but the words had been exchanged.

"Let's go, it's the fourth room from the left, go in."

Mr. Jensen opened the door after scanning and unlocking the prosthetic eye, and took Carl into his suite. Many children who noticed the two of them entering had already gathered around the guard wearing regular uniforms and body armor underneath. around members.

"Brother Butt, who is the person who followed Uncle Jason in to see Brother Andy?"

"He.::

Feeling the body armor on his body and the gun on his waist, Butt smiled at the children: "He is our big shot in Night City now."

"Big shot?"

Some children didn't know how to look back at the black-haired young man who disappeared between the closed doors, and couldn't understand: "But we haven't seen that brother in any Mewtwo star movies."

"Because he's the real big deal."

That's all But said.
