Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

late at night.

A small car was driving through the streets of Night City, carrying three people and heading towards Watson District in the north.

Sitting in the driver's seat was Jack, a big boy from the streets of Heywood. He was holding the steering wheel with one hand and humming the radio ditty "Body Temperature" in his mouth.

Sitting in the passenger seat was Tang Yu, a senior executive of Arasaka Company. He was leaning against the car window, with the breeze blowing across his forehead, giving him a slight chill.

Sitting in the back seat of the car was Gloria, the middle-aged girl who had just debuted. She came to the Uzumaki Gang's territory in the middle of the night and went to the Dance of Death Club. This was the first time in her life that she had experienced such an exciting thing.

But following Tang Yu, Gloria didn't feel much fear. Instead, she felt a little happy, which at least meant that Tang Yu didn't regard her as a burden.

Jack complained helplessly when he heard the strange song playing on the radio.

"Are you getting older and you can't understand today's popular music anymore?"

Fortunately for Tang Yu, for him, what he listens to is often not songs.

"Why, you kid is still playing deep. Could it be that you are still a big fan of Samurai Band?"

Jack smiled: "Hey, although I don't really listen to the outdated old songs of Samurai Band, it doesn't stop me from being a fan of Johnny Silverhand."

Tang Yu smiled and joked: "You don't know what kind of slut Johnny is. If you really see him one day, you might be slapped by his bad mouth."

Jack chuckled: "It's okay, even if I'm hung up by Johnny Silverhand in my dream, I'm willing to do it. Who wouldn't order a cup of Johnny Silverhand in the next life?"

Tang Yu agreed: "That's true."

Jack changed the subject and asked about Gloria in the back row.

"Sister, thank you very much for Riley Hein."

When they first met, Tang Yu had already introduced Gloria to Jack and explained that the commission to investigate Riley Hein was handled by her.

Gloria replied: "You're welcome, this is what it should be."

Jack praised again: "I have to say, brother, you have a good vision. You have found such a potential intermediary. I think you are right about the friends you know."

Tang Yu smiled and said, "You are just praising yourself in a roundabout way."

Gloria couldn't help but smile when she heard the two joking.

She saw that Tang Yu and Jack were chatting very harmoniously. Compared with her previous impression of Tang Yu, it was completely different.

When I first met Tang Yu, he always gave me an aura of nobility that would put others off.

As long as he goes there, you can feel his difference, and his superior temperament is clearly revealed.

But now Tang Yu looks so easy-going and free and easy. Maybe this is Tang Yu's attitude towards his friends.

"Sister, why are you in a daze? Don't worry, I'm going to the Dance of Death Club tonight just to see the world."

"That place is really fucked. Although it's my first time to go there, the Heywood natives are not lacking in courage."

Gloria's silent thoughts were interrupted by Jack's sudden words, and she explained in a panic: "No, I didn't think about anything."

Seeing that Gloria was a little embarrassed, Tang Yu spoke up to help her out.

"Almost there, Jack, get ready to pull over."

It is located at the intersection of Pershing Street and surrounded by large abandoned factories.

With the decline of industry and serious population loss, supporting hotel buildings have also been abandoned.

The Dance of Death Club is hidden behind a hotel not far away, connected to an abandoned factory that was transformed into a nightclub and bar by the Whirlpool Gang.

The Dance of Death Club is one of the most important strongholds of the Vortex Gang, generating a lot of income every night. At the same time, they widely sell their special 'paralysis', which can be eaten with Black Mewtwo to experience a great deal.

The streets were deserted, with garbage piled up in the corners. Dim lights illuminated the streets and alleys. There were almost no pedestrians. Occasionally, a few armored vehicles would drive by.

After Jack pulled over, the three of them got out of the car and walked to the abandoned building.

There is a signboard on top of the hotel's main entrance, and the huge HOTEL is lit up with blue lights.

The surrounding walls are covered with graffiti, and the bloody skull and spider pattern can be seen everywhere, indicating that it has entered the sphere of influence of the Whirlpool Gang.

Tang Yu has an impression of this place. The gangsters from the Whirlpool Gang usually gather here if they have nothing to do.

The three of them walked towards an entrance on the ground floor of the building. After passing through the hall, they went up the iron stairs to the second floor.

As they passed by, the Uzumaki Gang members in twos and threes cast strange glances at them, but then they were immersed in the smoky world and continued to enjoy themselves.

The three of them arrived at the elevator door on the second floor. They were guarded by the Whirlpool Gang's security guards. The iconic face-to-face prosthetic transformation made the guards look a little scary.

There were a lot of people coming to the Dance of Death Club at this time, so the guard didn't stop them. He took the initiative to get out of the way and said in a strange mechanical accent.

"Oh, original body, before I came to the Uzumaki Gang, I was cleaner than you."

The three of them ignored the guard's nonsense, walked into the elevator, pressed the third floor button, and arrived at the Dance of Death Club.

Gloria looked at her surroundings curiously and felt a little dizzy.

Scarlet dazzling light, deafening subwoofer, bloody graffiti, and people shaking their heads.

Coupled with the whirlpool gang members who are like gambling zombies, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is a hell store.

In front of the iron gate of the club, four members of the Whirlpool Gang were squatting and smoking, and the one leaning against the gate was none other than 'old friend' Dum Dum.

Dum Dum recognized Tang Yu and Jack almost at a glance.

That night, Tang Yu killed Royce with one shot, and his ruthless methods were clearly visible.

He straightened up and asked coldly.

"Is it you? Why, what are you doing here? Don't you think the incident last time was not big enough?"

Jack stepped forward and said: "It turns out to be your boy. We came to find Brick. Remember Royce's favor? It's time to repay it."

Dum Dum: "You still dare to mention this matter and want to take a bullet to the head? But you did help me. Come with me. Brick may have wanted to see you."

Dum Dum did not embarrass the three of them. The iron gate behind him slid open automatically. The three of them followed him into the Dance of Death Club and came to a high platform, from which they could overlook the entire dance floor and DJ booth.

Brick was sitting on the sofa with his head raised, enjoying a big sip of special cigarettes. There were wine bottles, tinfoil and guns piled on the table in front of him.

Dum Dum took the initiative to step forward and spoke in advance.

"Brick, we have a new customer, the one who killed Royce as I told you last time."

Brick then turned around, looking at the three of them with the red electronic prosthetic eyes on his forehead.

After a moment, he spoke.

"You don't look like someone who can kill Royce. Sit down. I've met a lot of people in the company. I haven't had a chance to settle the account properly yet."

Tang Yu knew that he was referring to the transaction that night. More than a dozen people from the Whirlpool Gang died in the abandoned steel factory.

Dum Dum asked his men to bring a rough leather sofa and place it opposite Brick.

Tang Yu sat directly on it, with Jack and Gloria standing behind him on the left and right respectively.

"Brick, you have to calculate this account carefully, otherwise you won't even know how much of a favor you owe me."

Brick casually threw the cigarette can in his hand on the table, and the four scarlet electrons stared directly at it and said coldly.

"Why, you company dogs, you killed more than a dozen of my brothers on horseback. Even Royce was shot in the head by you. You have no good intentions from the beginning, and you still say that I owe you a favor?"

After saying that, the members of the Uzumaki Gang gradually gathered around, staring at the three of them with unkind expressions.

Tang Yu looked at Brick indifferently and said with a smile: "You are pretending to be confused because you understand. Who doesn't know that Royce has wanted to replace you a long time ago. If he really gets the military-grade Sian Westan, Do you think you can still sit here and enjoy it? Use your mechanical brain."

Brick said nothing, and the two looked at each other for a moment.

Suddenly, Brick laughed coldly, and then laughed louder and louder.

"Haha, hahaha."

"You are really a smart person, and you deserve to be from the company."

"Let's be honest, Royce asked for that deal. He didn't tell me at all. He could only say that he deserved to die."

"I don't need to pursue this matter. Now you can tell me what you want to do here."

Tang Yu said frankly: "Didn't I just say that I'm here to settle a score with you?"

Brick dismissed this, leaned back on the sofa and twisted his neck: "The accounts can never be settled. Today is this company, tomorrow will be that company, who knows how they got mixed up, you kill me, I kill You, huh, don’t have any good stuff.”

Tang Yu denied: "You can't say that. If you really want to talk about it, the culprit who killed your brothers from the Whirlpool Gang that day should be blamed on Military Technology. It was the trap they set from the beginning. Wait. You are just trying to seduce Arasaka’s people, you are just cannon fodder to lure Arasaka.”

"Besides, you have been working for military technology recently, Riley Hein, remember? Valentino's boy was kidnapped by you a while ago, and he is now clamoring for revenge."

After hearing this, Brick looked up at Jack.

Jack has his arms folded across his chest, a bun, a big gold chain around his neck, a denim jacket with tattoos, and he looks like a street kid from Heywood, with a bit of Valentino flavor.

Brick said disdainfully: "So you are here to collect debts for that kid? If so, don't blame me for turning your back on him."

Jack snorted coldly: "Who are you scaring? If you come here to collect debts, your club will have already turned into hell. If you don't want to meet God so early, I advise you to be more sensible. Valentino is not a soft persimmon."

Brick said coldly: "Who told that kid to wander around on my territory? There are so many men, and he will be kidnapped by whoever he wants. I can only blame him for his bad luck, you know?"

Tang Yu said frankly: "Brick, there is a wrongdoer and a debtor. We don't have to pursue this matter, but you have to let Military Technology bleed. Find out what you are doing for Military Technology."

Brick stared at Tang Yu suspiciously and said in a deep voice: "You want to know about military technology so much. Are you working for Arasaka Company?"

Tang Yu did not deny it, but silently acquiesced.

Brick smiled: "I'm just telling you, it's true that dogs bite dogs in the company. It's okay to give you this bit of information, but there are a lot involved. I'm worried. If I tell you tonight, you may be gone tomorrow night. ,hey-hey"

Tang Yu smiled lightly and said: "Really? Then I'm more interested. It's too small for me to bother knowing."

Brick laughed loudly again: "I just like your craziness. Well, as for Riley Hein, to tell you the truth, he is just an unlucky guy."

"I don't want to work for these corporate dogs, but you know, they give me too much."

"Military technology requires living human bodies to conduct experiments on new prosthetic bodies. The key player is a young man, so I have to arrange for someone to catch him."

"I just happened to meet the Valentino boy wandering on the street, so I arrested him for prosthetic experiments."

Hearing this, Jack's eyes were already furious, and he wanted to overturn the table and kill these scum, but he also understood that the real mastermind behind the scenes was the company, and the Whirlpool Gang was just a group of tool men.

Even if it wasn't Riley Hein who was kidnapped, there would be another victim. It was an endless cycle.

Since Tang Yu still had something serious to talk about, Jack could only suppress his anger and continue to listen to Brick's story.

Gloria, on the other side, remained silent from beginning to end, listening carefully to the ins and outs of this matter.

Military technology, Arasaka, human experimentation, the Uzumaki Gang, etc. These terms were all familiar to her, but this was the first time she had such in-depth contact with them.

This muddy water was much deeper than she imagined. To a certain extent, she really saw how dark the dark side of the Night City was.

Gloria glanced at Tang Yu and knew that this conversation meant that she was officially involved in the high-level game of the company's gang.

She calmed down and continued to listen to the conversation between the two.

Brick: "The reason why Military Technology came to us so urgently is because they have a deal with the NCPD. I'm not sure what the specific project is. It's definitely not a new combat implant or something like that."

"And I'll give you another piece of information."

"It's not just military technology that has found us for work. Even the Arasaka R\u0026D department has approached me. Hey, my methods are no worse than theirs."

"Riley Hein has put everything to good use. His body was bought by military technology for new prosthetic experiments, his organs were bought by biotechnology for drug experiments, and even his brain was bought by Ye's company for brain flower experiments."

"That's all I can say. As for more details, I can't comment. In short, you know the twists and turns of the company better than I do, don't you?"

After Brick finished speaking, he picked up a new cigarette can and started smoking vigorously. He also specifically asked Tang Yu if he wanted to try it too.

Tang Yu refused. He was analyzing and judging the rich information hidden in Brick's words.

All the major companies in Night City have private cooperation with the Maelstrom Gang and carry out some shady activities. These are nothing new.

What really caught Tang Yu's attention was that Military Technology recently had a deal with the NCPD, involving combat implants, so he asked the Whirlpool Gang to urgently arrest people for experiments.

This line can be dug further down.

As for what Biotechnology and Ye's Company are doing, Tang Yu can only keep a conservative view for the time being, and it's not time to get involved in these secrets.

At this point, Tang Yu basically got all the information he wanted.

Since it involves military technology, NCPD, and cyber maniacs and other related investigations, Tang Yu has a suitable candidate in mind.

Tang Yu got up from the sofa and said directly.

"Brick, your information is valuable."

Brick chuckled and said, "It's a good idea to leave."

Dum Dum, who was on the side, saw the three people leaving, approached Brick and asked, "Are you just going to let the three of them go?"

Brick snorted coldly: "Let these corporate dogs eat dogs. I just work with money and I am not responsible for taking the blame for them!"

"There is a batch of military technology that will be shipped in from outside the city later. I heard that there is a newly developed high-tech gadget inside, called a small flat head."

"Let the brothers prepare in advance, look for opportunities to give them a hard blow, and let the company dogs also improve their memory."

Tang Yu and the other three walked out of the Dance of Death Club and returned to the cold street.

Seeing a vehicle parked not far away, Jack yelled: "These blind people actually painted graffiti on our car, including a spider skull!"

Upon seeing this, Tang Yu spray-painted a large spider pattern on the side of the car and smiled: "The car was not burned, which is already a sign of respect. Don't mention it, the spider graffiti looks like that. Driving in Watson will be much safer in the future." "

The three of them laughed and got into the car and sped towards the south of Night City.

In the passenger seat, Tang Yu looked at the late sky and had no plans to go for a night run again.

Since the scavenger revenge incident that night, night running has to stop at least for a while.

He said to Jack: "Send Gloria home first."

Jack pressed the radio switch, adjusted it to the body temperature radio 98.7, and the car stereo began to play music.

"No problem, I will send the middleman lady home safely."

Before Gloria could explain, the music drowned out her voice.

There were not many cars on the streets late at night, and we arrived at the super skyscraper H4 in the Santo Domingo Valley area smoothly.

Gloria thanked her and got out of the car.

Watching Jack carry Tang Yu, he drove towards the street.

After the vehicle disappeared from sight, Gloria turned and walked upstairs, her mind filled with the content of today's conversation.

Military Technology secretly cooperated with the Whirlpool Gang to conduct human experiments, and captured Riley Hein, a member of the Valentino Gang.

Later, Biotechnology and Ye's Company also got involved, and even Arasaka Company used similar methods.

She felt distraught.

In the past, I only thought that the company was superior, and that if I joined the company, I would be able to join the group of successful people.

Now it seems that the company's so-called success is all based on countless sins.

Although she had worked in a public medical center before, she had learned about the cruel and cruel deeds of many companies, but this was the first time that she had been exposed so directly before her eyes.

"Is this a company?"

"Then Mr. Tang."

Gloria didn't dare to think about it, and she didn't want to think about it.

If one day she really knew something she shouldn't know, she would be in an even more embarrassing situation.

As if lost, Gloria opened the door and entered the house, took off her shoes and collapsed on the sofa in the living room.

Staring at the ceiling blankly.

suddenly.

She received a message, her prosthetic eyes turned, and she quickly checked it.

It's from Tang Yu.

The main content is a business card with contacts and contact information.

"Regina Jones?"

"Reporter from News 54?" (Note 1)

Additional message: "Continue to investigate the transactions between Military Technology and NCPD, as well as related human experimentation matters. Try contacting Regina Jones. You may get unexpected results."

It’s really super invincible. Thanks to all the handsome people for their support. I’ve finished the update today. I’m trying to continue to work on it tomorrow. My eyes are exhausted after coding for a whole day.
