Cyberpunk: 2075

After encountering Mann and the others on the street, the three Carls, who originally had to walk to the Wild Wolf Bar, were invited by Mann and the others to get in the car.

Mann and his team's activity area and station are in the valley area of ​​Santo Domingo, which is next door to the Heywood Valley bottom area where the Wild Wolf Bar where Carl and the others are going is. They just finished their work and were about to go back, which happened to be just right. You can give Carl and the others a ride.

Karl sat in the passenger seat next to Mann, looked back at V, Oliver and David sitting in the back seat, and then talked about Mann's carjacking on the street today:

"It seems that your progress is not going well."

"I didn't expect that company dog ​​to be so smart."

Mann, who controlled the start of the vehicle, said: "I thought I would finally find a chance today to catch someone for questioning, but he blew himself up."

Looking at the road in front of him, Mann said: "This job is really not easy to do. Although I had expected it when I took it, who could have expected that after a few days of hard work, I would still just collect information. Stage, it’s up to you, maybe it’s all done. “

Listening to Mann's somewhat emotional words, Karl felt that Mann was exaggerating:

"No, we have encountered this before. Even though we were just bystanders at the time, when that person blew himself up, we didn't react too well. We almost let the explosion affect our car. This kind of person will die. In this situation, there is no other good way except to immediately use electromagnetic pulse to interfere with the detonation process that may exist in his body. "

"I've learned a lesson today. Next time I say anything, I have to throw an electromagnetic pulse grenade at him to wake him up first."

Mann stepped on the accelerator and let the five-person vehicle drive onto the road: "But it's hard to get back. After this job is done, I should be considered a big shot."

"Big shot, that sounds like a good word."

Karl said, but suddenly said: "But if it was said by that guy Faraday, I feel that it is more of a boast."

Karl's words made Mann's hand pause slightly.

He looked ahead: "You know?"

"That's right, but we are all mercenaries. I understand the specific content. I won't ask or ask you for confirmation. But, Mann, be careful. That guy Faraday is very greedy. I might sell you at any time. If something goes wrong, run away first. You can lose your reputation as a mercenary, but if you lose your life, you will lose everything."

"It's quite strange to say this from someone like you who has a 100% success rate in missions, but...

Mann sighed:

"I know, Karl. You may think that I was deceived and bewitched by that guy Faraday, but I actually know exactly what he was thinking. It's just that this job is the only one I can take now. It’s a great job to completely make my name in the city 9

Not everyone can be like you, Karl. Most of the jobs my team has received are just trivial jobs until now. And I have been a mercenary for more than seven years. If this continues, I don’t know. When can I reach the top in this industry? There are some things that I have to fight for, even if I know it is dangerous and may kill me. "

I risk my life and want to be famous.

Thousands of mercenaries are a bit of a pursuit, which is not the case. Everyone wants to be Morgan Blackhand or Adam Hammer, but who can become the second Morgan Blackhand or Adam Hammer? No one knows about this. He could only hold on to hope and risk his life to pursue Mann's true words. Karl fell silent.

It has been seven years. Mann used to be a New American soldier. He broke away from New America during the Unification War (2069-2070) and chose to pursue his ideals in Night City. He wanted to become a legend, which he has been pursuing for seven years. , he has been risking his life for seven years, and now he is finally getting better and seeing hope. Can he give up risking his life to pursue this hope because he has experienced countless dangers in the past?

Impossible.

It was like someone told Karl that he was comfortable enough now, that he could live peacefully with his current wealth, live to old age and die without moving forward anymore, Karl would not listen to such words.

If there was such a pursuit from the beginning, when Carl came to this world and got the first gun, when he encountered the first gunfight, he should not have raised it, but put his head in his hands, and the cat was under the cover.

It's easy to be an ordinary person and run when you hear gunshots, or to raise your hands and hand over your property when you're robbed. But that's not what mercenaries pursue.

People have to have something to think about when they live in this world. Some people are safe and sound, but some people are destined not to give up pursuing their ambitions.

Ambition is just a dream.

Karl couldn't say or do this to ask Mann, who was his friend, to give up his dream.

"Then you have to put my communication first in the program and lock it."

Karl said: "You risk death or something, it has nothing to do with me, and you risk your life, it has nothing to do with me, but I still want to know about my friend's situation."

"Condition...."

"I have to collect your body. Otherwise, if you die, there won't even be a cemetery. Wouldn't that be a pity that your bones are heavier than others even after they are burned?"

Listening to Karl's words, Mann couldn't help but smile:

"With my body transformed like this, I'm afraid it won't be all iron lumps mixed with ashes when it's burned. But what you said is quite right. If I want a friend to hold a funeral for me, I have to find you Karl." Okay, you promise to do it beautifully for me.

Maybe then you can launch my ashes into the sun to see the world. "

What Mann was thinking about was the mission that he and Carl had done when they first met. He was thinking about the idea that Team Brown had proposed that if everyone died together and there was no money to bury them in the cemetery, they would just pick up the bones and bury them together in a random place. He didn't care at first, but now he doesn't want to be like that.

Death must be done vigorously.

The vehicle arrived. Looking at Mann's smile, Karl got out of the car, and then stopped at the door. He looked at David sitting in the back seat of the vehicle, thought for a while, and leaned against the window. Asked David a clueless question.

"David, you run very fast, don't you?"

What Carl was thinking about was what he had seen before, David's speed after he started Si'an Westan.

"I can now catch up with sports cars in a short time."

David, who was chatting with Oliver and the new acquaintance V beside him all the way, and did not listen to the conversation between Carl and Mann in the front seat, answered confidently, and his words made Carl smile.

"Then, when it's time to run, run David."

Leaving behind a sentence that David could not understand, Carl stood up and walked to the Wild Wolf Bar.

“What does Carl mean by this?”

David looked at Mann in the front seat in confusion, but Mann did not speak and just started the vehicle in silence.

Mann could understand what Karl said.

Mann is the captain of the team, and he is also the person at the front of the team. If David needs to run, then at that time, he would have already come...

"When it's time to run, run David."

After silence, Mann just repeated what David still couldn't understand.

Notify the person who collects the body and needs to run fast.
