Luan Dao will be a homeless person with old qualifications.But for Night City, it is still a new outsider.
Put another way—they're out of step with the city's rules.
The specific reason is unknown, but what is certain is that there was a conflict between the Chaos Knife Society and their partner, the Scavenger, that escalated into a firefight before mediation was made.
Chaos is brewing all over Night City, centered on Heywood.
Of course, the Chaos Knife Society is weak after all, and does not have the ability to mess up the whole city.
This fight, which could be called anticlimactic, cooled down at an incredible speed with the participation of NCPD, especially the violent terrorist mobile team.
But don't expect Luan Dao to catch them all or bring them to justice.
They were like a nest of mice that had suffered heavy losses, and began to flee like headless chickens. Some fled outside the city, and some fled to the gutters in the streets and alleys, and then hid.
V and Jack took this opportunity to get quite valuable information from the Chaos Knife Club who didn't care about their heads.
It was a communication between Snake State and Chaos Knife Society, which mentioned a building in the Santo Domingo Valley area.
In their slang terms, it is their "goods" distribution center.
But when Jack and Gustavo took the gang brothers to conduct a second investigation, an accident happened.
In the plan they arranged with the priest, they would first conduct multiple site visits and investigations to investigate the internal situation, and stop after getting solid news.
The priest is not a very good man, and there is only one reason why he chose to stop further revenge.
That place is the site of respectable logistics.
Revere Courier Services, RCS for short.
As the largest logistics company in Night City, Kejing Logistics' business covers all continents.
Their fleet consists of armored trucks, cargo ships, and aircraft capable of carrying high-value cargo.
Whether it's a luxury car from an African billionaire, a supply package from Moon Express, or even a banana butter bear biscuit that a grandma in Lijing District gave to her grandson on Valentine's Day, respectable logistics promises that all goods are sacred Non infringeable.
A limousine on a large freighter and a candy box on a scooter have one thing in common—that is, they will be delivered to the recipient.
Mission must be achieved.
Under the same banner as Dongfeng Express, it sounds quite bluffing.
Of course, the express delivery industry is a prime target for criminals.
From pirates in the ocean to wanderers in the badlands; from thieves in the city to bandits in the suburbs.All staring at the company's transport fleet.
Therefore, Kejing Logistics cannot completely guarantee the safety of delivery.
However, in the event of a similar situation, the company will provide full compensation for stolen items.
Some of the largest transport ships of Respectable Logistics are escorted by outsourced security (usually mercenaries or security companies), and their presence is often enough to deter ignorant attackers.
One of their important businesses is the physical transport of valuable data that cannot be uploaded to the Internet for security reasons.The personnel responsible for carrying the data are also second to none among the most seasoned professionals, and there is almost never a single instance of damage or loss.
Generally speaking, for this kind of business involving commercial or military secrets, the customers are those super enterprises that would be trembling if they stomped on Night City.
Although Respectable Logistics always appears in the public eye as a "courier", it is also a "logistics giant" whose market value ranks among the top [-] in the city.
Snake State, Chaos Knife Club, Scavenger, and Honorable Logistics.
Listening to V's depressed narration, a terrible conjecture slowly emerged in Luo Qi's mind.
That is a black logistics network all over the world.
V is not a fool, and the priest is not a fool.
On the internal manifest of the logistics company, I am afraid that there are not only the "unspeakable secrets" of the major companies, but also their own sins——
Kejing Logistics is responsible for the global transportation channels, Snake State is responsible for the transportation on the Badlands, Chaos Daohui is responsible for the transportation inside and outside the city, and Scavenger is responsible for finishing.
It's all dirty business that can't be seen in the light.
A huge international human trafficking industry chain with a complete system and division of labor and cooperation mechanism from "kidnapping" to "collecting", from "transportation" to "sales".
What V and Jack touched were the special interests of the company, a giant capital beast.
Chi Guoguo's blood money trade.
Just like the blood diamond industry, although Ke Jing Logistics is far less powerful than Arasaka, its counterattack will only be more merciless and brutal.
"The Valentino gang, and the priest's side, I'm afraid there are ghosts..."
Chapter 84 The Priest's Successor
It's not that Luo Qi and the others have never done the work of the detective company. On the contrary, this is a common type of entrustment and preparation work.
Even military-tech transport convoys can be violently intercepted. No matter how hard-handed Ke Jing Logistics is, it is not as tough as military technology.
V and Jack were ambushed, someone must have let the wind slip.
And only with detailed information can such a targeted raid be launched.
"Sorry, I have to leave for a while." Luo Qi hung up the phone, frowned, and said to Melissa who walked down from the ring, "That's my brother, my relative, we can't just sit back and watch. "
"..." Melissa glanced at him quietly, and after a while, she nodded, "Approved."
Luo Qi and Suzi joined the Terrorist Mobile Team as non-staff members. They have not yet passed the training period and entered the regularization stage.Of course, this does not mean that they can leave casually, only with the approval of the chief or superior.
"Thank you." Luo Qi nodded, and nodded again after a while, "Thank you."
He and Suzi looked at each other, confirmed each other's eyes, then looked around, and found that all the violent and terrorist mobile teams in the audience were watching them.
Luo Qi squeezed out a smile, bowed halfway, and left quickly.
He took the guy and walked out of the building of the Supreme Military Tactics Department without looking back. Delaman showed that it was "in use", so he stopped a taxi, and the target was Lao Wei's underground clinic.
After a long ten minutes of anxiously surviving the taxi, before the taxi stopped, Luo Qi rushed out, crashing into Misty's store like a gust of wind.
"Hi, here you are."
Hearing the familiar voice, Luo Qi stopped abruptly.
It's Misty.
Her thick smoky makeup concealed a little sadness between her eyebrows and eyes, and her voice was as gentle as ever, making people feel peaceful.
It's just that this voice is now a little muddy, and in Misty's words, it is the so-called "negative energy".
Now is not the time to sit back and mend and relax, and as Jack's girlfriend, Misty has no fewer worries and pains than Rocky and V.
People always say that there is no love in Night City.
But Misty and Jack have.
Luo Qi has never seen such pure love and liking, like the clear and transparent glass in the mud, when the sun shines or the moon shines, you can see the moving brilliance.
How deep love is, how painful it is now.
Luo Qi suddenly felt that he should calm down so that he could better deal with the current situation.
Misty is such a girl who can infect others with her tranquility.
"Don't worry, Jack will get through it."
Luo Qi showed a forced smile and comforted him.
"Thank you," Misty said. "You need comfort more than I do."
Behind him, Suzi came up, put his hand gently on his back, and stroked him slowly.
The anxiety and depression in his chest gradually dissipated, allowing Luo Qi to breathe a lot more smoothly.
Squeezing her hand lightly, Luo Qi pushed open the back door of the Misty Tantric Pavilion.
In the slightly messy back alley, V sat on the steps with his head in his hands, silently looking at the ground, with a skinny hairless cat beside him, quietly accompanying him.
"Lucky..."
Sensing the movement, V raised his head to see who was coming.
His voice was a little hoarse and a little torn, with deep weariness hidden behind every syllable.
The air seemed to be filled with a sad atmosphere, and the air sucked into the lungs was so cold that it was a little sour.
"Jack, he..."
Luo Qi looked at the downward step passage, but didn't dare to go in.
"Old Wei is still trying to rescue him. It has been an hour."
V is almost the sound of hard vibrating vocal cords.
"Where did he get hurt?" Luo Qi felt that he was a little useless, even though his brother was lying on the operating table, but he couldn't do anything.
"The bullet penetrated the lobe of the lung, very close to the heart."
When he said this, V suddenly felt a pain in his chest, as if he had been pierced by a bullet, and even breathing became difficult.
Misty couldn't intervene in this level of rescue, so Lao Wei called an old buddy from the past to help. According to V, the other party is now working for the company, and his strength is beyond doubt.
Luo Qi wanted to go in and check on Jack's condition. He really wanted to, but he was afraid that he would interfere with the rescue, so he lingered repeatedly at the door tangled and worried.
"Tell me, what exactly happened at that time?"
Patting his face to calm himself down, Luo Qi sat down beside V with a somewhat messy breath.
"...that was the second investigation."
V let out a breath slowly, and opened his mouth, peeling away from his upset, trying to divert part of his attention with the conversation with Luo Qi.
Only then did he realize that it was difficult for him to open his mouth, as if his chest was filled with lead.
"Cough cough cough cough——!!!"
Suddenly, V coughed painfully, and spit all over the place.
Nausea, dizziness.
When he was ambushed, he also suffered a lot of non-fatal injuries, and his arm is still bandaged.
The violent impact and explosion impacted his internal organs. Although it was not serious, it was enough to make him feel uncomfortable all over for a long time.
While patting him on the back, Luo Qi gave Suzi a miserable wry smile.
Suzi shook her head, nodded again, and stood aside silently.
Shaking your head means "it's okay" and nodding means "I'm with you".
After slowing down for a while, V's breathing became even again. Taking the water that Luo Qi handed over, he took a sip and felt much better.
"thanks……"
"You said thank you to me? When did you become so divided?" Luo Qi shook his head, showing an unhappy smile, "Go on, what happened then?"
"The first time, everything went smoothly." V described the situation in detail, "But we didn't find any useful information, we can only confirm the authenticity of the news."
"So we went for the second time, but we didn't expect to be attacked before we could stand firm."
Recalling the scene at that time, V couldn't help frowning.
"They acted as if they knew we were coming. Security robots and drones were everywhere, and the men sent by the priest all fell down in the blink of an eye."
Listening to V's description, Luo Qi can roughly imagine the scene at that time.
V and Jack are definitely bold and careful representatives of mercenaries, otherwise they wouldn't have gained fame so quickly.The chances of their first move were low, since nothing was detected and there was no reason for the company to go out of its way to investigate.
The only possibility is that someone leaked their whereabouts.
But the first time they didn't bring any helpers, and the gang gunmen they brought with them for the second time all died on the spot, so the problem should be within the Valentino gang, especially the priest.
Luo Qi dialed the priest's phone number.
There are some things that he has to figure out.
"Father? I'm Lucky." Luo Qi's voice was a few degrees lower than usual.
"Lucky, are you here for Jack?"
On the other end of the phone, the priest said calmly, without any panic or impatience.
Luo Qi didn't make a sound, just quietly, waiting for the other party to take the initiative to speak.
His attitude is very clear - either speak clearly, or kill himself to ask for clarification.
Although Sebastian Ibarra's strength is far stronger than Dexter's second-rate middleman who has been away for two years, Luo Qi is still fearless.
