Hearing this, the old bartender smiled, put his hands on the bar, and introduced himself:

"Mateo, you are"

"Call me a, she is c."

"I remember a and c." Mateo nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "Tell me, why did you come to Night City?"

Lu Qi was not surprised by the talkativeness of the bartender brother.

After all, he has also worked as a bartender, and he also understands that the work of a bartender is not only responsible for serving drinks in the bar, but also dealing with customers and collecting information.

Shrugging, Lu Qi casually made up a reason: "We are tourists, and we are very curious about the name of Night City, so we came here for a stroll."

"Oh, curiosity." With a twitch of the corner of his mouth, Brother Mateo said seriously: "But, haven't you heard the saying that curiosity killed the cat?"

“Night City, not so easy to visit”

Hearing this, Lu Qi just smiled back and said lightly: "Thank you for your advice. I think we are capable of taking care of ourselves."

As soon as the words fell, a slightly charming female voice came from the side:

"Wow, Mateo, I don't quite agree with your point of view."

Following the prestige, I saw a blue-haired woman sitting beside the bar.

The low-cut skirt with a v-neck opening to the navel, paired with a plastic-like bib jacket and purple-pink boots, added a bit of coquettishness to this blue-haired woman with outstanding looks and figure.

Raising the wine glass, she gestured to Lu Qi and Xili, and then she continued:

"Night City is a free city for everyone. No matter what you want to do here, it is your freedom. This is why countless people flock here"

"After all, freedom is the most expensive thing in this world, don't you think?"

Hearing this, Ciri nodded with deep sympathy, and murmured in a low voice in Common Tongue: "You're right."

The blue-haired woman stood up, sat on the adjacent seat, and extended her hand to Lu Qi:

"Evelyn Parker, nice to meet you."

Instead of shaking hands, Lu Qi heard the blue-haired woman say, "I noticed you as soon as you entered the door."

"Oh, why?"

"Because you seem to need someone to give you some pointers, about Night City, and tips on how to survive in this city!"

Evelyn could clearly see that Lu Qi was the one who called the shots.

She raised her legs, took out a cigarette from the lady's bag, lit it, put it in her mouth and took a puff, then looked at Lu Qi and asked:

"Mr. A, before we continue talking, I want to ask you, would you rather be an unknown person, live a very dull and boring life, and finally die in a hospital bed with a catheter inserted; or would you like to be a A legend who will die even tomorrow?"

This sharp question surprised Lu Qi.

However, he just thought about it, and then he answered: "If I have to choose, I prefer to be a legend who survives to the end."

Hearing Lu Qi's answer, Evelyn couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, then raised the corner of her mouth and laughed softly:

"Hahaha, you are just as I guessed, you are a bold man!"

After all, she sat upright, took a puff of a cigarette, and then said, "I just heard from you and Mateo that you are tourists?"

"Well, I should stay here for a while."

"Then you should need a place to stay temporarily." After a pause, Evelyn slowly exhaled the smoke, letting the fog cover her expression: "I can provide this."

"Oh?" Frowning, Lu Qi and Xili looked at each other before asking, "Then, what's the price?"

"It doesn't need anything, just help me with something."

"tell me the story."

"A few hours ago, one of our sisters received a door-to-door service order. After the service was completed, she should have returned an hour ago. But, she didn't."

"Also, her phone doesn't work"

"You want us to go and see what happened to her?"

Evelyn nodded, shaking the ash with her fingers, and continued: "Yes. The order she received was from a small leader of the Vortex Gang."

Hearing the name of the Maelstrom Gang, Lu Qi didn't have any big reaction, and neither did Xili.

Seeing this, Evelyn seemed to have remembered something, and showed a sudden look, "I forgot, you just came here, and you haven't heard of the name of the Vortex Gang."

Spreading his hands, Lu Qi said casually, "This is the opportunity to point out the maze."

"They are a group of neuropathy who are obsessed with cyber transformation. Their minds are full of getting rid of the fragile human body, and they can't wait to put all the prosthetic bodies on their bodies. In short, they are some very dangerous bastards without any bottom line."

Hearing this, Lu Qi picked up his wine glass and took a sip, "So, you couldn't afford to offend them, so you found two idiots who didn't know they were crazy, and sent you to die?"

"Hey, don't jump to conclusions, wait for me to finish first"

While speaking, Evelyn took out a data chip from her bag and put it on the bar:

"It has her location before she lost contact. What I need you to do is to go to this place and confirm whether she is really there, whether she is dead or alive. As for the rest, leave it to us."

"That's it? Don't we need to rescue her? Or help her collect the body?"

Shrugging, Evelyn said lightly:

"That's it. In return, I will provide you with a temporary residence until you leave."

Without thinking too long, Lu Qi decided to take over the job.

On the one hand, he and Ciri had just arrived in Night City, and they really needed a place to stay; on the other hand, from the attitude of the bartender towards Evelyn Parker, one could tell that this blue-haired lady was not an ordinary people.

Being unfamiliar with life, being able to establish a good relationship with the people in Lizi Bar is also good for them to further understand and integrate into this city.

Thinking of this, Lu Qi picked up the chip, put it in his pocket, and stood up.

"Waiting for our good news"

Leaving those words behind, Lu Qi and Xili turned and left without hesitation.

Chapter 6 The Times of Heli Have Changed

As soon as she left Lizzie's Bar, Ciri couldn't help asking:

"What are you thinking? Why did you promise that woman?"

"Shirley, when it comes to the ability to travel through the world, I may not be as good as you. But when it comes to how to integrate into the world, I definitely have more experience than you."

As he walked forward, Lu Qi explained:

"We have just come to this world, and we have to find a way to understand and integrate into this world. If someone is willing to help, why not do it?"

"But, how do you know that she is out of good intentions, and not trying to use us to do things for her?"

"Don't worry, I, like you, don't believe her words. But her attitude depends on our value, doesn't it?"

Hearing this, Ciri couldn't help but pause, and then thought about it.

"Fortunately I didn't forget"

While speaking, Lu Qi took out the chip and inserted it into a new mobile phone bought from the equipment market with a click.

As the screen flickered, a three-dimensional satellite map was projected on the top of the phone.

On the map, a blue dot appeared, representing Lu Qi himself.A red dot represents the goal.

The distance between the blue dot and the red dot is about two kilometers.

Looking at the location of the red dot, Lu Qi came to the side of the road and said to himself:

"Before we go, let's get ourselves some equipment"

"equipment?"

. . .

"Is this what you call equipment?"

Looking at the pitch-black pistol in his hand, Shirley looked suspicious and puzzled: "This little thing, can kill people?"

After leaving the bar, the two went straight to the underground black market mentioned by the equipment owner and bought two "-10af Lexington" kinetic energy pistols.

The changes of the times and the advancement of science and technology have greatly enhanced the power and performance of firearms.

However, the only thing that remains the same is the way of using firearms, which is still so simple and rude.

Hearing Xili's complaint, Lu Qi, who was installing a silencer on the pistol, replied without raising his head: "Of course, and it's much more efficient than a long sword."

"But I don't know how to use it! Can't you get me a sword?"

Hearing this, Lu Qi smiled helplessly, and there was a look of confusion on his face.

After finally returning to the world dominated by hot weapons, let him hold a sword and slash at others, isn't that self-defeating? !

Of course, I thought so in my heart, but I couldn't say it out of my mouth.

After getting familiar with the performance and usage of the kinetic pistol, Lu Qi raised his head and looked at Xili with an extremely serious expression:

"There is one point that I must emphasize."

"Ciri, times have changed"

"This is no longer the world you are familiar with, but a world full of dangers, where anyone can threaten our lives."

While speaking, Lu Qi raised his head and pointed at the hovercraft flying through the air, "Did you see these steel boxes whizzing by and flying through the air?"

"That is a power that is completely different from magic, called technology!"

"Unlike magic, technology is a power that everyone can use"

After a pause, Lu Qi raised the pistol in his hand, waved it, and said in a deep voice: "As for this little thing called a gun, its power is much more powerful than a long sword."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Qi suddenly raised his pistol and aimed at the trash can not far in front of the alley.

In the next second, there was only a soft "poof", and a glass bottle standing on the trash can was smashed into pieces by the bullet and splashed out!

Shirley, who witnessed this scene, opened his eyes slightly, with disbelief written all over his face.

Looking down at the pistol in his hand, Shirley couldn't help thinking: "If this thing hits a human body, wouldn't it be?"

At this time, Shirley seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly raised his head, his green eyes were shining brightly, and he said in a tone of impatience:

"Teach me how to use it!"

. . .

After teaching Ciri how to load the bullet, fire the gun, and change the ammunition, the two of them who were ready called an unmanned taxi from the Delaman Company and headed to the address where the red dot was.

All the way north, when they came to the periphery of an industrial area in the northern part of Watson District, the taxi stopped.

After getting off the car, Lu Qi looked at the [-]D projection displayed on the phone and confirmed the target, which was in the abandoned apartment building full of graffiti in front of him.

Putting the mobile phone back into his trouser pocket, Lu Qi took out the pistol, and with a "click", after the bullet was loaded, he did not forget to remind Xili beside him:

"One last check on gear."

Hearing this, Shirley imitated and pulled out the pistol from the back of his waist. After checking it, he also loaded the bullet.

"Very well, be ready to shoot at any time."

After leaving this sentence, Lu Qi led the way to the apartment building.

With eyes fixed, Ciri followed closely behind.

As soon as they walked into the lobby of the apartment building, Lu Qi and Xili found that there was no one there except for the sundries and garbage all over the floor.

The light tube flickered on and off, and no one from the Maelstrom Gang could be seen in the corridor.

"What are you going to do?"

"Find someone, find her, and bring her back."

"What if the Maelstrom gang refuses?"

"Then deal with them!"

Although Evelyn only asked them to confirm the target's life and death.However, this task has hidden pits in the first place.

If the target is really controlled by the people of the Maelstrom Gang, and they come to find someone, the other party will definitely not let them leave with them so easily.

In other words, from the moment he took over the mission, this was an inevitable battle!

"When we see someone later, don't shoot. We have to find the target before we can do anything."
