Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

Maybe the business scope of PDG and Adekado still overlap.

Just when Luo Qi was about to call Roger to confirm, the call came in.

"It's a coincidence that Cao Cao Cao Cao is here."

Luo Qi smiled and picked up the PDA.

I saw a few big characters written on the screen.

【Regina Jones】

"what?"

Chapter 99 It's okay, I hate it too

Luo Qi's conjecture came to nothing, it was not Roger, but Regina who called.

Needless to say, there must be another entrustment.

"I haven't seen you in a few days, how are you?" Luo Qi answered the phone and said with a smile, "Is there any work for me?"

"You guessed it, there is a man named Max Jones who needs help. He may refuse, but if you don't save him, he will die." Regina said straight to the point.

steam?What steam?

Luo Qi inexplicably thought of a certain "cross-language homophonic stalk" in his heart, but he didn't have the nerve to say it.

Max Jones?

Same last name as Regina?

Luo Qi raised his eyebrows, with a playful expression on his face.

"Max is a reporter and a... good friend of mine." Regina then introduced, "I hope you send him here. If he resists, he can be tied to me. As I said, he is very stubborn. .”

After hearing what Regina said, Luo Qi nodded thoughtfully.

A good friend said otherwise, at least this kind of concern and worry revealed in words is not fake, the relationship should be very close.

From what it sounds like, the two seem to be on different paths.

Regina used to work in the media, and Luo Qi doesn't know the specifics, but everyone in the world says this - don't underestimate Regina just because she is talkative and her work experience is not fierce enough. If you really want to piss her off, you must Will die ugly.

"Okay, where is it?"

Luo Qi accepted this commission. After all, it was a matter of life and death, and Regina had a good relationship with him.

"An old radio and television building in the industrial area in the north of the city. He is hiding there now." Regina's tone was somewhat helpless towards Max, "Bring him here safely, okay?"

"Of course." Luo Qi said as a matter of course, and then pondered for a few seconds, "But I hope to know more details."

"Night City doesn't like people who like to poke hornet's nests, and Max... let's put it this way, he poked them all at once, and they all exploded." Regina sighed, "So someone wants to buy his head, A big reward is on offer. But personally, I want to keep him alive."

“He’s an old friend of mine from the scandal digging days, and we did a podcast together about how things like Biotechnica’s drones are forcing homesteaders out of land, it’s all out of date.”

Regina slowly talked about her past experience.

"You changed careers later?" Luo Qi guessed.

"That's right, but the job I'm doing now is the same as before." Regina said relaxedly.

This is not true.

When I was a reporter, I was nothing more than buying gossip and selling news, but now as a middleman, I sell both.

Of course, that being said, the technical content involved is vastly different. Regina's skills and abilities are far more powerful than anyone imagined.

"Max is still in the business, but he's such a curmudgeon that he won't even answer my calls."

Regina knew how dangerous it was to dig up company scandals, so she became more and more worried, "I'm worried that he doesn't know the current affairs and thinks that he can settle the matter by himself. Hey... this is all Cucumber Danzi's idea , thinking that I am not afraid of anything."

"Maybe you can convince him?" Regina placed high hopes on Luo Qi, "If I can find out his coordinates, others must be able to, so please do it as soon as possible!"

"Relax, I'll take care of it."

Luo Qi heard Regina's heart.

For Regina, Max is the comrade-in-arms and comrade who "made revolution" together in the past, and even Max is more stubborn and stunned.

His method of resisting corporations and tyrannical power is simple-to dig out scandals, reveal the truth, and let the facts be exposed in broad daylight.

Among them was the riot of the Chaotic Knife Club.

The Night City government is doing everything possible to eliminate the impact of this incident, otherwise it will be a huge blow to the credibility, although the official credibility of Night City is very little left.

At this time, someone came up and wanted to make trouble, and Luo Qi felt dangerous for him.

"I'm leaving now." Luo Qi stood up immediately, exchanged glances with Suzi, and patted Jack's hand on the hospital bed, "Take a good rest and be back soon."

……

This old radio and television building of WNS is located on the westernmost side of the North Industrial District (UID) in Watson District, adjacent to the Arasaka beach, and is only one street away from the Arasaka aesthetic style buildings with cool gray tall doors and large walls.

At the corner of the intersection, the sense of dilapidation that had been abandoned for a long time came to the face, and the nearby neighborhoods had been in decline for some years, and everything seemed to be incompatible with weathered concrete and rusted metal, and was covered with a layer of depression.

Colorful street graffiti, weeds growing from the floor tiles, and homeless disabled veterans in the garbage.

It is indeed a good hiding spot.

Looking at the "WNS NEWS" signboard still working under the sun, Luo Qi nodded.

"That's it, let's go in."

This was said to Suzi.

She walked in front, with a blue light flashing in her eyes, and the rapid deciphering component directly deciphered the main entrance of the building.

Under the power supply, the building is still running, but it is not far from being completely scrapped.

The front desk is empty, only the noisy TV advertisements are still playing tirelessly.

Suzi walked to the computer and started to operate.

"The monitoring system is still in operation, it was restarted recently." Suzi said, and then hacked the video screen, "Anti-personnel mines and machine gun turrets, it seems that someone has prepared."

"It must be Max."

Rocky judged.

These things are the props that Max uses to protect himself. It's a pity that in front of the people who really want his life, these small mechanisms are just better than nothing, and they don't have much effect.

WNS, World News Service®, World News Service.

WNS has at least one small office in almost every major city in the world, so they have more headquarters than most businesses.

It's just that they are generally small and have limited functions. Most of the time there are only a few rooms, equipped with some supplies, one or two permanent personnel, and a telecommunications terminal connected to the nearest regional headquarters. Almost only a slightly larger The rental house can complete the above work.

But precisely because of such a layout, almost no other enterprise can compare with WNS in terms of information collection capabilities.

Since the early 21st century, they have been active on the "front lines" of all kinds of dangers-from the conflict in Central America to the second Korean War, they have their presence.

In the beginning, we only collected all kinds of first-hand information, and then sold them exclusively to those who needed them.Later, WNS established its own media channel and gradually grew into a giant enterprise.

Most of the American media are controlled by giant multimedia companies, such as the ubiquitous "News 54" - even the news will be filtered by these big companies before it can be broadcast.

They dominate the airwaves with news programming 7 hours a day, 24 days a week.

However, as the 21st century slowly passed, these powerful media giants gradually became tools for politics and capital to control public opinion and spread news.Because the corrupt Federal Communications Commission (FCC) controls access to individual channels, dissenting voices have no chance to spread.

In a word, it is - you can be rotten, but you can't tell the truth.

Therefore, Luo Qi hadn't watched the TV program of Night City for a long time. There were all kinds of outrageous experts and guests with mentally handicapped, but there was no truth.

This is the former site of WNS. In the era when the truth could be told decades ago, it was once glorious, but now, it has been half buried in the dust of history.

"Look at this." Suzi opened a document and called Luo Qi over.

It was a credits list without a title, like the credits list at the end of the show.

On it, he saw the names of Regina and Max—Regina was publishing, Max was editor.

It's just that because of the evacuation of personnel, all the important materials on it have been transferred or destroyed, and only an incomplete document can occasionally be found in a corner.

[It is now 2070 o'clock in the evening on June 6, 6. This is the Global News Agency. I am Nali Bligh.

Today's main takeaways: Sacramento experienced carpet bombing last night as war casualties rose further.

The Russian Federation has also provided humanitarian assistance to Night City.

Independent observers claim it -- "not humanitarian aid, but trucks full of weapons."

The Texas Free State has officially closed its borders to refugees in Night City. 】

This is an archive of the teleprompter, which is used to read the script to the host watching the camera during the news broadcast.

"The unification war was not over then."

Seeing Luo Qi thinking, Su Zi reminded.

For this war, Suzi will never forget the painful memories and past.At the age of 15 that year, she had already become the finished product of the super soldier transformation plan of military technology.

NUSA and the Free State launched a war between North and South California around Night City, and the victims were far more than Suzi's family.

There were a large number of refugees in that big city, and the survival rate was much lower than the "10%" of the workers who were abandoned in South America.

Sacramento, the capital of California, is similar to the provincial capital and is located in the middle of the state. In 2070, it was also beaten to pieces in the war, and what's worse, after the war, there were not as many super companies as Night City to help recover.

And behind these news is the last set of conscience of WNS news.

Everyone on the credits has fought for press freedom.

[It is 2074:10 pm on October 24, 7. This is the Global News Agency. I am Nali Bligh.

Today's main content is: Kabuki District was attacked by cyber psychosis, and three people were killed.

Earthquake in Italy kills 98.

President Miles offered to mobilize military-tech troops to help protect the citizens of Night City.But her remarks were sharply criticized by the Night City Police Chief. 】

This is the second cache of the teleprompter, which was extracted by Suzi and translated into text.

In 2074, they are still persisting.

Four years after the end of the war, President Miles of NUSA (New America) still has not given up his fantasy of Night City.

More importantly, the director of NCPD had become one of the puppets of the companies as early as three years ago.

Who will gain the most by defending Night City and keeping it a free city?

Those super corporations.

Ye's Company, Arasaka, Military Science, Biotechnology, Pei Zhuo... are all NCPD's patrons.Although military technology is integrated with NUSA, in Night City, it is completely impossible to cover the sky with one hand.

The company has mastered more and more things, and finally even the mouth of the truth has to be blocked.

Regina thought it was at this time that she chose to change careers.

Because she sees no hope at all—

News can't save Night City.

Suzi glanced at Luo Qi, saw that his face was full of sorrow, and couldn't help stretching out her hand, wanting to comfort him.

But Luo Qi suddenly grinned and smiled.

"I thought the world had always been so lifeless, but now I realize that hope and light once existed."

At this moment, the speakers inside the building suddenly started working.

"...The grenade fragments directly pierced my thigh." A thick voice said.

"What about me? I was bombed too." Another voice with a slightly higher pitch added immediately.

"It's just an ordinary earth mine - an homemade explosive device (IED)." The voice A said with a thick voice.

"Yeah, before we got out of the ICU, they came and recorded new material for the company." The high-pitched voice of B echoed, "want us to be on TV—they taught us what to say, wanted us to You can see how much they care about veterans."

what is this?

News interview program?

Luo Qi and Suzi suddenly became vigilant, and then began to grope forward.

"That program is called—'Dedication of Blood'." A third voice that I had never heard before spoke.

"That's right. They provided us with the latest implants, high-end medical insurance, and even the big names on the board of directors came..." B said.
