Cyberpunk: 2075

"Hey, Andy, this is the first time I've seen you lead a team."

"After all, Mr. Jensen is now the deputy director."

Andy nodded to Carl and glanced at the burning vehicles around him, and then turned to the distance, where the kidnapped people in the hospital were being safely taken away from the scene with the assistance of NCPD police officers.

Looking at the expressions on the faces of those who were rescued, Andy turned back to Carl: "You also saved a lot of people this time, Carl." Right? "

Karl didn't feel anything special, it was just a casual thing, let alone: ​​"This time it was V who took the mission to save people, I just helped a little bit."

“I don’t know how many families can be saved with your help...::

Andy's acting style was different from Mr. Jensen's. He seemed very melancholy as he was not used to the various scenes in the process of handling cases. However, the melancholy quickly disappeared because Carl asked about Mr. Jensen's related matters.

"How has Mr. Jensen been doing since he became deputy director recently? Can he still adapt to it?"

"Mr. Johnson...

Andy recalled it with a smile on his face: "I worked overtime every day and was so busy that I couldn't stop. Even now, I am still dealing with matters related to the death of the previous director."

"I don't know if he, who has been a policeman on the streets for almost half his life, can get used to it."

Thinking of Mr. Jensen working in the office with a sullen expression, Carl found it quite funny. He might go and visit him later when he had time.

"Speaking of which, there is a bill that is currently being discussed heatedly in the police station."

As Andy spoke, he remembered something and told Karl what he knew about the recent heated discussions within the police station:

"This was a bill proposed by the previous director during his tenure, but before it was implemented, the other person died. Now the city council is discussing whether to implement those bills in accordance with the wishes of the deceased director."

"I seem to have some impression of this."

Carl thought about what he had heard about the policy that the NCPD chief was going to implement when he took over the job from Rogge: "We are planning to fire a lot of police officers, and we are also going to start calling the police for five euros per minute. Street crime Is it possible to settle the matter with a fine?”

"Not really."

Andy said: "Those bills originally made the NCPD very dissatisfied. Once the former director died, naturally no one was willing to implement these policies. After all, who wants to lose their job? The new director also wants to win people's hearts by canceling these policies. I say is another bill that has been submitted to the city council.”

Andy looked around the surrounding land and asked, "Where is this hospital located?"

"St. Domingo, somewhere close to the Badlands."

I didn’t quite understand what Andy wanted to say, but Karl still said his current location.

"Soon, this area may not be under NCPD jurisdiction."

"No longer under the jurisdiction of the NCPD?"

Karl frowned: "What do you mean?"

"Because Taiping Prefecture and Bad Land are too chaotic and it is thankless to go there to enforce the law, the city government is discussing whether to cancel the dispatch of personnel to these two places and exclude Taiping Prefecture and Bad Land from Night City. outside the law enforcement system.”

"Want to exclude Taiping State and Badlands?"

In Karl's impression, there are few NCPDs in the Badlands and Taiping State, and the actual law enforcement activities are only formal.

It's optional, but if the city government publicly announced that it was abandoning these two areas, it would definitely cause an uproar in the city.

"City government, are you planning to treat Taiping State and Badlands as the next Dog Town?"

In the concept of Night City, although Dog Town was also part of Taiping Prefecture in the past, it is now basically regarded as outside the Night City system. The city government thinks that Dog Town, a city within a city, is not enough, and it wants to turn Taiping into a city. Should we also give up the state and the part of the Badlands near Night City?

"It is said that this can effectively reduce the crime rate in the city."

"Without statistics, there is no crime rate, right?"

What a 'genius' approach this is, but if Carl thinks about the policies implemented by the previous director and the poor nature of the city government, this policy may actually be passed.

"Karl, we have to go back."

When Karl was thinking about the changes that the city government's policy would cause and what impact it would have, V in the distance waved to him.

The target he entrusted has been handed over to the NCPD. The NCPD led by Andy will send V's mission target safely home intact. Therefore, V's order is considered settled and it is time to return to the city.

"I know, I'm here."

After saying goodbye to Andy, Andy still had to handle the follow-up matters here, so Carl stopped disturbing him.

After approaching V, Carl found that Panan was no longer around V.

"Where's Panan, gone?"

"Her goods seemed to be quite urgent. After finding the goods, she waited for Andy and the others to arrive. After confirming that we did not need help, she drove away in a hurry. It seemed that the delivery time agreed with her by the Sixth Street Gang was coming soon.'

"I see."

After getting back into V's car and heading towards the city, Karl, who was sitting in the car, looked through the messages on his mobile phone and found that it was rare that no middleman sent him a commission.

‘It’s been so peaceful in the city recently. "

Just when Carl was sighing like this, the car was driving to the Coronado Farm in Santo Domingo. The moment Carl finished sighing, gunshots rang out in the street in front of him, along with curses and shouts.

"Fuck you Will Cannon, let me put a hole in your mother's pocket!"

The crackling gunshot hit the face so quickly that Karl, who had just been sighing with emotion, twitched his face slightly, but compared to a slap in the face,

The name mentioned in the shout caught Karl's attention,

Will Cannon, this name Carl remembers Oliver once mentioned, is a prominent and powerful member of the Sixth Street Gang, only one step away from the position of gang leader. However, he is not satisfied with his current status, Zheng Ming Confronting each other with the leader,

Trying to ascend to the throne of leader.

Carl actually didn't have a good impression of this character. After all, the reason why Oliver was expelled just two weeks after joining the gang was because of Will Cannon.

When Oliver and Carl first met, there was a relative of Will Cannon in his team, and in subsequent actions,

Unfortunately, that relative died in the gunfire of the Whirlpool Gang. In order to give an explanation to Will Cannon, the leader decided to expel Oliver, the only survivor, from the gang. If it weren't for the fact that Oliver's father also had a certain influence in the Sixth Street Gang, That time Oliver might even be held accountable and forced to take responsibility for that relative's death.

A street shootout involving that Will Cannon guy...

Just when Karl was wondering if he should go over and join in the fun because of his dissatisfaction with Will Cannon, a new message came from the phone he was holding.

The only message with a special frequency and beep sound is Haruko who communicates through an encrypted channel.

A glance.

"The research department has developed a new single molecular wire in accordance with my request. The product has been delivered to my residence. Carl, do you want to come over and take a look? Besides, I have something else to tell you."

Will Cannon.

If you are lucky, let it go for now.

""V, send me to North Oak District. "
