Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

It is not only an important base for the Marine Corps, but also the home port of many of their aircraft carriers.

This makes Southern California always lean towards the federal government in the turmoil of the Free State, and has always formed an opposing posture with Northern California.

While NUSA has shifted its focus eastward more and more over time, the vestiges of history won't fade so quickly.

Even if they don't seem to have any direct contribution to the upcoming "US-German border" conflict.

The reason why Luo Qi is familiar with this place is because many gangsters and mercenaries from Tijuana really left a deep impression on him.

Gangsters and mafia everywhere have their own style and rules.

To put it simply, the weaker the forces playing the "official" role, the more rampant the forces playing the role of the "underground world" will be.

That's right, the word rampant.

In the past, when the United States was still a whole, the investigation near the border was already done very poorly.

For a simple tens of thousands of dollars, a small car can easily pass the border, of course, the premise is that there is a way.

It doesn't matter what it contains is a corpse that needs to be poured with cement and thrown to the bottom of the sea, or some terrible illegal drugs and smuggled arms.

Things are even worse now.

If the border wall between Northern and Southern California is so smoky, the line between Southern California and Baja California is even more blurred.

It's no wonder that Spanish-speaking gangs like the Valentino Gang can thrive in Night City. There's no way, as long as anyone comes to Night City and lives for a few years, good luck A child who died young, he was considered a native of Night City from the moment he was born.

That's what Jack is, but his ancestry goes way back.

It's just that neither he nor his mother were interested in their scumbag father and husband, so Luo Qi never had a chance to ask more questions.

As for why he couldn't help but think of going from Los Angeles to San Diego, that's because recently there are intermediaries in these two places who have begun to contact Night City.

As we all know, middlemen are also a variant of gang bosses, who are the "lords" of the underground world, dividing up the market and resources.

Under normal circumstances, well water does not interfere with river water, which is what a mature underground world should look like.

If you are in the "separated Warring States situation of successive years of fighting", it either means that the market here has not been divided up and anyone can get involved, or an extremely serious subversive event broke out, not only in the underground world, but in the entire world. Some forces in the city are accepting the influence of the reshuffle.

Roger didn't like the instability, and neither did Rocky.

But they have a slightly different idea.

Rogge is the middleman, the biggest middleman in Night City, the middleman who holds the heart of the underground world, and habitually hates the existence and emergence of spoilers and unstable factors.

Luo Qi, as a law enforcer and half of the underground world, hates those dogs that create workload on his one-third of an acre of land.

Don't beat people to death all day long, live and work in peace and contentment, live in peace, hello, me, hello, everyone, and then go home from get off work on time to eat and sleep to replenish energy.

Is it not good? !

Having been in close contact with the war, or at least the leftovers of the war, Luo Qi is more and more yearning for a peaceful life.

Even gangsters need to grow up in a relatively peaceful social environment.

During the war and the post-war period, those who grew up in the ruins of the city, except for the rising thugs with full levels of insanity, were the law enforcement forces like the violent terrorist mobile team who came out of the sea of ​​corpses and blood.

Otherwise, why would the Terrorist Mobile Team say whatever they say, with such a big face?

Luo Qi just sat there, didn't do anything, didn't think about anything, and began to exude a strong murderous aura.

There is an aura of "whoever makes trouble, I will kill him".

The middle man from San Diego and the middle man from Los Angeles both made Rocky feel the uneasiness of this undercurrent.

"What do people in San Diego say?"

Luo Qi just sat next to Rogge's booth, and occasionally saw someone come to discuss business with her or talk about some information and progress, and she didn't avoid it.

He has reached the stage where he does not need to be guarded. This is the highest level of recognition that Rogge has given him.

"Someone of them had a conflict with the company in Tijuana, the kind that never ends. Now the influence has expanded, and people want to take his head."

Roger sighed, feeling that the border is really a lot of shit.

She thought about it, if it was her, there might be no way to solve this kind of problem like spring wind and rain.

Oh, right.

Generally speaking, she doesn't like to solve problems, and prefers to directly solve people who create problems.

"Companies? They're really interesting, too."

Luo Qi felt that being able to escalate the conflict all the way from the street to a cross-city level, and also involved the company, did require some extraordinary abilities.

"It's not that kind of super company, it's just a group of idiots who can't help but start hooking up with congressmen after being half-baked. They do things very rough."

Rogge expressed his opinion, "But Tijuana is such a rough eater. They have more than 1000 people under their command. Now I heard that they are preparing bombers."

"Ah this..."

Luo Qi expressed helplessness.

When the conflict has escalated to this level, those in the United States who press the line to see the border don't care.

Oh, now that there is no US, that's fine.

"It's always like this in Tijuana, just get used to it, but even the middleman in San Diego has to run overnight, it's still a big mess."

Roger sighed.

"So, how did you answer?"

Rocky was a little curious.

"Of course it's none of my business."

Rogge rarely rolled his eyes, and even when he said some aggressive words, his tone was not very strong.

Perhaps this is the margin of seeing too many winds and waves.

"They handle their own affairs by themselves. Maybe he knows a few mercenaries and old acquaintances in Night City, but rules are rules. If they can't show enough sincerity, they can only rely on their own strength. A middleman even My own city is untenable, so it's better to get out as soon as possible, and don't come to trouble customers."

What Rogge said was very realistic, but also very real.

In the middleman business, what is needed is someone who can make up his mind and can carry the banner, not a guy who is as smart as a monkey who is happy when encountering things.

"I suspect you're implicating Dexter."

Rocky laughed.

Because he found that in the middleman circle he knew, only Dexter met such a standard.

"You really hate him enough, you still remember it so clearly."

Rogge didn't have any special expression, but the corner of his mouth curled into a half-smile.

"After all, it was the first 'big man' I slaughtered. At least for me at the time, it was enough to become famous... Forget it, he is not qualified, he is not qualified to be a hundred."

Luo Qi also returned a subtle look.

"However, how can you be sure that the middlemen in Los Angeles are not like San Diego?"

Having said that, Luo Qi is still curious about this new group of people.

"Because I know."

Rogge gave a very simple and reasonable reason, but Luo Qi didn't think of it at all.

"He used to play in Coronado, and then he went to Los Angeles, and he hasn't made any big names until now."

Rogge explained without hesitation.

"Old acquaintance?"

Luo Qi looked around, but didn't find Johnny, "The kind that Johnny would be jealous of?"

"No, it's just an old friend. Now, maybe half of it."

Roger sighed.

"If you haven't contacted for too long, even if you are friends, the friendship will fade."

Rocky sighed.

Then he thought about V and Jack. If they were separated for a few years, ten years, or even longer, would they still resolutely attack each other?

Luo Qi couldn't give an answer.

Because his life is too short, he has never experienced the feeling of being apart for a long time. It's not that he has no feelings, it's just that he simply can't imagine what life will be like after so long.

But one thing is for sure, that is, he will definitely jump out and shoot those guys who trouble his old brother.

He didn't know what kind of situation Rogge was in, but at least he wouldn't cheat himself.

"Then why are you looking for me?"

Luo Qi yawned, and started looking for topics to talk about.

"They said they needed someone with an official background, preferably from the police force."

Roger's answer was as simple as ever.

Of course, she can summarize very complicated things in very simple sentences every time, which is what Luo Qi admires about her.

All the analysis and decision-making processes are completed in her head.

And there always seems to be a plan.

As for the possibilities that are true, false, and false, she always thinks about it, as if she is completely used to these pediatric tricks.

There are too many people pretending to be businessmen, and their purposes are also different.

It's not that no one wants to give Rogge a fix, but most of the time, they fix a dozen iron nails on his coffin, and he can't die anymore.

Luo Qi feels that he is not very good at this kind of intrigue and intrigue, so he is always fishing for fish, and then tells himself that this is the stage of "learning and observing".

If only you could read minds—

He expressed emotion that many people in the world have also expressed.

Regarding this old friend of Rogge, Luo Qi had a bad premonition, but it was only faint, and there was quite an illusion of unfounded worry.

But the matter itself is worth pondering.

A middleman left his city, his territory, and came to Night City to ask for help.

This is indeed extraordinary for a middleman who values ​​influence and power above all else.

But Roger also said it.

He was not beaten and fled, but the matter was indeed of such importance that he needed to go there himself.

The middle man is not omnipotent, nor is it always set in stone.

Although Night City is dangerous, the market is always stable.

But Los Angeles is different. Luo Qi prefers to use one word to describe it——

confusion.

There are too many forces intervening, so that it is difficult to have a time to stop.

It sounds like all powerful forces should be like the masters of the intelligence department, omniscient, able to advance and retreat, see all directions, and listen to all directions.

However, the reality is.

It's not much different from looting the scene.

When there are always people who don't obey their orders, the so-called orderly conduct does not exist.

Everyone is in a mess, and they are noisy and infighting together.

That's what's happening in Los Angeles right now.

This is not to say that there is no market environment and soil for the development of power in Los Angeles, but that the rules have completely rotted since then.

They are obviously not stupid, but they always do short-sighted things.

This is a very strange, but frequent phenomenon.

The characteristic of the city of Night City is that there are very few forces that can intervene, and it is very clear and clear.

The big head is corporations and city councils, and then everything else.

But Los Angeles is different.

Every force you can think of that should exist in traditional American politics and capital playgrounds is there.
