Start in Night City

Seeing the street gangsters outside the window who were unaware of the impending disaster, Su Xiao shook her head.

The gangsters in Taipingzhou are terrible compared to the gangsters in other areas of the city.

When gangsters from other places see a luxury car like Delamain, they know at a glance that the person sitting inside is a big shot they can't afford to offend.

So don't try to trick the passengers, they won't even come close.

It's not like the street gangsters here in Taipingzhou, who seem to have never seen the world. When they see people, they want to come up and try to see if they can take advantage.

But then again, since capital left Taipingzhou, no big shot has been willing to come to this ghost place.

Not to mention NCPD.

If you have only started to hang out in the Tao in the past few years, you have really never seen much of the world.

inside the car.

The voice of artificial intelligence sounded at this time.

"It has been detected that you are in danger. For your safety, Delamain recommends that you use combat mode."

"Use combat mode."

"receive."

…

"Why didn't this guy react at all?"

"I'm afraid I'm so scared that I peed my pants inside, jiejiejiejiejie——"

"Hey, what's that?"

In the surprised eyes of all the gangsters, the trunk of Delamain's taxi suddenly opened a hole, and an automatic rotating machine gun slowly rose from it.

At this time, even the gangsters who had never seen the world finally realized that something was wrong, and ran away in a hurry and yelled.

It's only now that I think of running away. It's obviously too late.

The torrent of metal sprayed out by the automatic rotating machine gun took less than five seconds to shoot these provocative gangsters into a hornet's nest.

The passers-by in the distance were so frightened that they ran as fast as they could and fled in a hurry.

As for calling the police...

They won't do that.

Because it's useless

The late Mayor Lucius Lane had already set aside Taiping Continent, so even though Taiping Continent actually belongs to one of the urban areas of Night City, in name, Taiping Continent has nothing to do with the bad land outside the city. the difference.

It's useless even if you call the police, the NCPD will never come to a place like this.

…

They say that when people reach middle age, they can’t help themselves. This sentence is most suitable for Bryce Mosley.

He has been working for Internet Monitoring for twenty years now.

But his conscientious and conscientious work attitude did not allow him to rise to the top.

On the contrary, because Mosley is a married man, with a senior and a junior, his boss caught his weakness and forced him to do it alone. The bully was that he did not have the courage to leave the job like a single young man.

What's even worse is that even though his career has stagnated, Mosley's family has fallen apart.

His wife filed for divorce because she couldn't stand Mosley working away from home all year round, which directly turned Mosley's hard work and resentment in the company into a joke.

Fortunately, Mosley's boss was "considerate" enough about Mosley's mood. In order to take care of his mood and prevent him from thinking about sad things, his boss specially transferred him from the British headquarters to the Night City on the other side of the ocean.

This is a "good intention", and it is definitely not because others within the network monitoring team are unwilling to take this job.

Although his boss and colleagues say so, Mosley is not a fool.

He did work hard in the company in the past, but it was just to earn money to support his family, and he was not really so stupid that he didn't know how to take a rest.

How could he not know that this so-called care was just once again dumping other people's mess on him, an honest man?

However, knowing it, Mosley did not fight.

His wife's departure and the bankruptcy of his marriage made him completely indifferent.

Anyway, the family is gone, and there is no possibility of career advancement.

If you go to Night City, just treat it as a publicly funded trip.

What's more, he has never left the UK before, and this is the first time in his life that he has gone abroad.

Night City is said to be a city of dreams, equivalent to New York on the West Coast. It is an independent city that does not belong to any country.

It must be a civilized, prosperous and beautiful city.

Chapter 293 I can’t do it (4K)

Such relaxed thoughts were shattered after arriving in Night City.

Because after arriving here, he finally understood why other colleagues in the company were unwilling to come here.

This mud horse is not Night City at all, but fucking Africa and Latin America, right?

Although when I was in the UK, I could often see on the news that there were shootings happening in Night City and how many casualties were caused.

But damn, how can anyone play with machine guns and RPGs on the street?

Mosley did not believe that the British news dog could spit out ivory from its mouth.

Now Mosley believes it.

When Mosley first arrived in Night City, he felt the enthusiasm of the Taiping natives. The gang members held "Copperhead" kinetic assault rifles, roaring and shooting in the sky or around them.

If Mosley hadn't been riding in a high-end bulletproof car at the time, he might have been beaten to death before he could officially take office.

Fortunately, Mosley is not an ordinary foreign tourist, but a strictly trained network surveillance agent. He also conducted research before coming and knew that no matter what kind of trouble he encounters in Night City, he can go to the middleman.

The middleman is equivalent to the master of all things in Gintama.

Therefore, after Mosley drove away from the scene of the shootout, he immediately contacted the local middleman in Taipingzhou, Mr. Hands.

It was also through Mr. Hands that the Animal Gang was hired to protect himself.

He used the Great Empire Mall as an outpost and settled there.

The Animal Gang's employment fees are reimbursed by the company, so Mosley doesn't have to worry about this.

The Animal Gang is indeed a professional bodyguard for people.

Although these guys are a bit rough, they still respect their employer.

And with them here, no one dares to approach this big empire shopping mall, so they can do their work without being disturbed.

If it had been anyone else, most likely they would have chosen to lie down and die after realizing that they were actually being exiled in disguise.

animals anyway

You don’t have to pay for the help yourself.

Although Taipingzhou is a bit chaotic, it is protected by the Animal Gang and he does not leave the Great Empire Mall. No matter how chaotic it is outside, it will not affect him.

Moreover, he was so far away from the UK that the higher-ups could not control him at all.

Very chic.

But Mosley is not that kind of person.

He is the kind of person who treats his work meticulously. Even if there is no one to supervise him, even if he can fish, he will get the job done conscientiously.

Otherwise, he will feel very uncomfortable and think that he is a rice bug and a salary thief.

Perhaps this is the reason why he has been working very hard but has no way to get promoted, while the juniors who joined the job later than him can surpass him.

Although because of hiring the Animal Gang, his own safety is guaranteed.

But Mosley was still troubled.

The reason for his distress was that he didn't know how to complete the tasks assigned to him by the company.

The reason why the Internet Supervisor sent him to Night City was to eliminate the Voodoo Gang, which was constantly causing trouble by creating holes in the black wall that protects mankind.

But after coming to Night City for a while, Mosley discovered that there was no way to start.

First of all, even if you contact Mr. Hands, the middleman in Taipingzhou, there is no way to obtain detailed information about the Voodoo Gang from Mr. Hands.

The information Mr. Hands can provide is nothing more than:

The Voodoo Gang is a gang whose members are all hackers. Their hacking skills are very powerful and they often hack into the computers of individuals, ordinary merchants and companies, and extort money from them...

The Voodoo Gang is composed entirely of Haitians. They are very xenophobic. Although they sometimes find outsiders to work for them, these outsiders are without exception regarded as "footcloths", that is, they will be used up when they are used up. The meaning of being thrown away...

Due to their excellent hacking skills, even if they are notorious, some people will still bite the bullet and hire the Voodoo Gang, but most people would rather find a third-rate hacker than cooperate with the Voodoo Gang twice...

Not only the bad reputation of the Voodoo Gang, and the possibility of being treated as a "foot wipe" by them, but also their attitude...

The eyes of the Voodoo Gang are all on the top of their heads. No matter you are white, black, Asian, or Latino, as long as you are not Haitian, they will look down on you...

These guys are a bit like the Haitian version of the Ku Klux Klan. They seem to think that except for Haitians, all other races are inferior...

Although the information provided by Mr. Hands was not uninteresting, it was not what Mosley wanted.

What he wants more is:

The exact number of members of the Voodoo Gang (including the number of gunmen and hackers);

How strong are their hacking skills (can they only blackmail ordinary citizens, or can they hack into the subnets of giant companies and escape unscathed);

Where is their stronghold? Are there any branch locations?

Are other Haitian immigrants in Pacific Island related to them? Do they provide them with all support including manpower, funds, and protection?

Is there any support from other companies behind Voodoo Gang? Is it a black glove from another company?

If not, what is the source of funding for the Voodoo Gang? What do they rely on to support their activities?

Finally, and most importantly, the leaders of the Voodoo Gang are Maman Bridget and Placid, but can you give us more details about these two men besides their names?

Such as their past experiences and so on.

Unfortunately, Mr. Hands was unable to provide any of this valuable information.

It's not a matter of money or not, it's just that Mr. Hands really can't do it.

Although he is Taipingzhou's middleman, because he is not Haitian, the Voodoo Gang still doesn't even give him face.

In fact, Mosley has not thought about seeking help from big companies.

You know, if the black wall is destroyed, all human beings will be affected, including these large companies.

No matter how many hackers these giant companies have raised, they will never be immune to the massive invasion of out-of-control AI.

However, even though Mosley was mentally prepared, he still underestimated the arrogance of these giant companies.

Both Arasaka and Military Technology politely rejected his request.

It’s not that they can’t get along with Internet surveillance, on the contrary, they have close cooperation with Internet surveillance.

They just don't want to deal with Mosley, a little ordinary agent.

Their customer service staff politely expressed their willingness to provide Mosley with all support in addition to practical help. They will always stand with Mosley in spirit.

No matter how hard Mosley tried, these big companies did not believe that what Mosley described would actually happen.

In the end, it was the Savage King who introduced Logue to Mosley.

As the leader of the largest force in the Animal Gang, the Savage King is certainly qualified to enter the "afterlife" and also knows Rogge.

As a native of Night City, the Savage King also knew that if there was anyone in the city who could solve Mosley's troubles, it could only be Rogge.

After Mosley had a conversation with Rogge over the phone, Mosley was shocked and surprised.

happiness.

Fortunately, Rogge not only had a solution to the problem that even Mr. Hands couldn't solve, but also promised to help Mosley solve it.

But surprisingly, Rogge was not satisfied with the five million euros proposed by Mosley as a reward.

With the idea of ​​​​shopping around, after looking for Rogge, Mosley called other middlemen in the city to hear their prices.

As a result, other middlemen, after hearing that they were going to deal with the Voodoo Gang, didn't even ask how much the reward would be. They just told him that they couldn't take the job, and then hung up.

This really confused Mosley for a long time.
