Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

Even if he dared to attack the company, how could a priest be a middleman to go to heaven?

What's more, after going through so many things, especially after dealing with Rogge, he is no longer the stunned young man who can't bear to be excited when he sees the boss.

"I'm sorry about Jack." The priest neither practiced Tai Chi nor changed the subject, but got straight to the point, which made Luo Qi's face look better.

It's not that he's being unreasonable.

According to the rules of the road, mercenaries work for a middleman, and the middleman is responsible for the processing of intelligence and other work, unless it is a "high-risk commission" that is not responsible for the exact statement.

Even Dexter knew that he had to do the preparatory work in the early stage and the later work of selling stolen goods and running away. Although he temporarily betrayed them because he was afraid of death and planned to betray them, the preparatory work before that was still in place.

Especially the private entrustment for the priest himself pays more attention to such an arrangement.

Although there has never been a clear regulation, but as a first-class intermediary in Night City, if you don't want to lose your godhead and rank down, you have to provide the level and treatment that meet the first-class intermediary.

The priest, who has been working in Heywood for decades, will definitely not ruin his brand because of this kind of thing.

"My heart is as heavy, my child." The priest's voice also sounded a little more sad, but more of the anger that was well hidden, "I watched Jack grow up, his mother, Will Ms. Ernes is my best friend for many years, no matter what, I will not harm him, and there is no reason to harm him."

"...Well, I trust you."

Luo Qi was silent for a while, and replied.

Indeed, from all perspectives, the priest has no reason to harm Jack and V.

You know, the investigation of the disappearance of persons and the conspiracy behind the scenes was all funded by him alone. How can there be someone who smashes his own plate?

Luo Qi never doubted the priest at all—even if he was the biggest beneficiary, he would not be dealt with in such an unreliable way at this time.

"I don't want to see this result, you know what I mean."

The priest was silent for a while, sighed softly, and acquiesced to Luo Qi's unspoken guess.

There are bad, ruthless, and sinister intermediaries who reach the level of priests, but there are no stupid ones.

Luo Qi can guess the situation, he will never miss it.

"I hope that one day, Jack can be alone." The priest was silent for a long time, and finally spoke, "If you want, come to Heywood to find me, and we can discuss it in detail."

Until he hung up the phone, Luo Qi was still staring at the wall in front of him in a daze.

"What does he mean?"

V didn't understand the riddle-like dialogue between the priest and Luo Qi at the end.

Luo Qi also didn't like being a "Night City Riddler", and explained: "The priest wants to train Jack to be his successor, at least he can take on part of the work."

"successor?"

Confusion showed on V's face, "Why didn't Jack tell me this?"

"I guess Jack doesn't know, or... he's pretending to be confused." Luo Qi said in a low voice, "Have you forgotten Jack's dream?"

Earn a lot of money and then wash your hands?Or become the son of Heywood who calls the wind and rain?

No, none of that was what he was after.

He looks forward to the day when he can become the legend he yearns for and be remembered forever by this city.

Legends are all in the cemetery?Only dead legends can be on the wine list of the afterlife?

These are also not important.

At the age of 20, he quit the Valentino gang because of this, away from the endless gang fights.But he found that as long as he lived in this city for a day, he would not be able to do without danger in order to make a living. What Jack was afraid of was only his mother who was sad because of her death.

Because he knew and firmly believed that if one day he died unfortunately, the two brothers V and Luo Qi would only silently remember him in their hearts.

Stand out, become a legend, and leave forever the hell-like life at the bottom.

"Jack has changed a lot since Cyanbi Building." Luo Qi began to recall.

The dream of getting rich and getting rich overnight has passed, although Jack's dream has not changed, but he has become more down-to-earth.

Following the priest to start doing things is the proof.

Instead of surrendering to life, he decided to choose another path to become a legend.

Legends are not stories that happen overnight. Even if they are as strong as Morgan Blackhand, "Old Snake" Andrew Welland, or even Adam Hammer, apart from their well-known classic stories, everyone has countless pasts——

Fight all the way until you become a legend.

Although there are only a handful of such people, they have shown Jack the way.

"Jack looks carefree, but in fact, he is very delicate and smart."

He was the first person to be caught in the big pie circle drawn by Dexter, and he was also the first person to change his mentality after his dream was shattered.

This is also a talent.

After waiting in silence for a while, Luo Qi couldn't bear the silent suffering, and stood up with a "huh".

"where are you going?"

V asked subconsciously.

Luo Qi turned around and pressed Jue's knife handle.

The wind passing through the back alley slightly lifted the corners of his clothes.

"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." Luo Qi looked into his eyes and said firmly, "Blood debt must be paid with blood."

"No matter what the reason is, I will die if I dare to murder Jack in order to save the whole world."

In his eyes, endless anger was surging.

He was aware of the priest's cryptic hints.

Jack had always considered the Valentinos and Heywood to be his home, close brothers and sisters, even after leaving the gang.

But some people don't think so.

In their eyes, there is only profit.

Chapter 85 There is an insider, terminate the transaction

Heywood, Valley area, pub under the control of Fr.

This place ushered in two guests with bad faces today.

There are more Valentino gang gunmen entrenched in this place than usual, everyone's face is more or less showing tension, and the silent pressure is slowly conveyed in the interaction of everyone's eyes and voice .

The sunlight outside the door came in with the opening of the pair of doors.

They subconsciously moved their gazes over, but only saw the jumping light.

That figure had already taken a step forward, and arrived at the booth on the second floor at the moment they panicked.

The priest, Sebastian Ibarra, is waiting here.

He leaned his hands against the railing, the way Rocky had every time he saw him.

The condescending looking down, the silent prying that does not attract anyone's attention, and the peace of thinking about things in silence.

"You came……"

The priest turned his head and said with neither sadness nor joy on his face.

"Yeah, I'm here." Luo Qi didn't have a good face, just nodded casually, "Otherwise...forget it."

He restrained himself from speaking below, and did not continue.

The priest is not the one who hurt Jack, and there is no need to catch and scold each other because he has nowhere to vent his anger.

Sitting down at the table, Luo Qi poured himself a drink and also poured Suzi a drink.Seeing Gustavo sitting opposite, raised his glass to him, and then drank it down.

This sweltering ghostly weather makes the mouth dry, but it is not as good as the inner torment.

"Why are you here?"

Luo Qi put down the glass and sighed, the satisfaction of quenching his thirst and the cold refreshment slightly cooled down his anger.

He was talking about Gustavo, who sat here, seemingly in peace.

"Although I really want to be by Jack's side, the priest needs my help." Gustavo's voice was a little tired from running around, but he was still energetic, "I was also there at the time, if you need anything, you can ask me .”

"Respectable Logistics, Hegu Warehouse?"

Luo Qi looked into his eyes and asked.

"Así es (yes)." Gustavo nodded, and then said, "But don't rush there, they have an ambush, and things are not that simple."

"I know." Luo Qi didn't have any reckless impulse, his head was very clear, "Tell me, who did it."

Gustavo, as the priest's capable officer, may not be good at scheming or scheduling, but he is definitely good at executing tasks.

At this critical moment, the priest didn't tell him to stay with the seriously injured Jack to take care of him, which meant that there must be more important things to do.

That is to find the person who leaked the news.

Luo Qi could read a familiar expression from Gustavo's tired face—it was the confidence that he had found the trace of the prey and was ready to close the net at any time.

"who is it?"

Luo Qi asked directly.

He didn't want to beat around the bush, and added a little bit of polite social etiquette by the way.

Talk about shit business, fight shit, ask shit why.

All he wanted to do now was blast the bastards who betrayed Jack to pieces with a bazooka.

"I told them, don't touch those businesses."

The priest spoke suddenly, his eyebrows were a few millimeters lower than usual, and his voice was the same.

If it is an external enemy, it may make them feel the same hatred; but the current internal contradictions make everyone unable to fight.

The priest's faction is probably the one in Valentino's gang that values ​​family and family relationships the most.

Although it is impossible to completely watch and help each other and help each other through wind and rain, basic mutual help is also within the scope of normal needs.Now someone has betrayed his brother and sister, how close the relationship is in normal times, now there are so many cuts and chaos.

But Rocky wasn't one of the Valentino gang.

They're also struggling with past relationships, trying to find a balance between gang rules and brotherhood, as all kinds of things go on and on.

But Rocky doesn't have to.

He could go straight to the door, wash the floor with their blood and brains, and warn those who tried to hurt Jack and break the rules.

That was one of the reasons why the priest secretly wanted him to come.

Sometimes he becomes a face-to-face figure, and the priest can't do what he says and does as he wants, because he has to consider all aspects of the entire faction and family.

As one of the major gangs in Night City, the Valentino Gang did no less bad things than other gangs.Of course, in terms of inhumanity, the scavenger is still far ahead.Apart from them, the internal composition of the Valentino gang is actually very complicated.

Some people are distributing hard-earned food in community churches, and some are burning, killing and looting in the name of gangs.

According to the usual rules of the priest, his subordinates are not allowed to do "super black jobs" that are so devastated that they will go to hell after death.

For example, the abduction and trafficking of women and children, human trafficking, and the "traditional performance" of street sweepers, killing and stripping corpses.

But the reason these jobs are done is because it makes money.

When the pain of lack of money or the desire for money outweighed the fear of the rules and the brotherhood, situations like this one arise, and they abound.

"Tell me who did it, then you can rest in peace, and leave the rest to me."

Luo Qi said slowly in an unquestionable tone, unwavering.

He understood the priest's scruples and wishes.

"If possible, I still hope that you can spare their lives for the time being." The priest turned around and asked calmly and seriously, "They violated the rules and morals of the gang, so they should be punished according to the rules of the gang."

His attitude is very sincere and correct.

Luo Qi had reason to believe that the priest's anger would definitely not be less than his own, but it was well hidden.

"Okay, I promise you."

In the end, Luo Qi accepted the request.

He crossed his fingers, pressed his chin lightly, closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, all the decadence and depression had been replaced by a sharp light.

"I'm tired of this revenge drama? Do you understand?"

His eyes gradually turned to the window, and the pedestrians on the street walked their own ways.
