Monster Hunter Gathering

but……

David glanced at the fighting thugs who had disappeared behind the car and realized something.

Those hooligans might not be a big deal.

My future is no longer the same.

Gloria is still alive, and there is still a lot for David to do.

There's just one thing David might have to disappoint Gloria about.

He might not be able to stand on the top of Arasaka Tower as Gloria wanted, so he now has another path to take.

But at this moment, Er Qiao suddenly spoke to David.

"Your mother actually loves you very much." Er Qiao said, "I have rarely seen my mother since I was a child."

"Hmm...hmm?" David raised his head and looked at Er Qiao with curiosity: "Why?"

"I haven't met Lisa Lisa yet, but the Grand Commander told me first." Er Qiao chatted with David while driving. "Just like you see your own future, I saw it too... Lisa Lisa avenged my father and ended up being wanted. I just met her before coming to the rally."

Er Qiao scratched her hair. "She's teaching me the wave gong now... Who would have thought she's my mother? And later we have to defeat the Pillar Man together... In short, there are so many things I need to change!"

"And Xi Sa! That kid from the future actually challenged Wamuu alone... I won't give him the chance to say anything like 'This is my last ripple'!"

Erqiao was talking to David while driving, unknowingly drawing the two closer together.

As David listened to Er Qiao say this, he realized that every hunter at the gathering had his own experience and story, so he didn't need to worry so much about his future.

"Don't worry, we're from the same group!" Er Qiao gave David a thumbs-up without even turning around: "Let's just get along!"

"Thank you, JOJO." David relaxed a little: "I feel much better now."

"Then show me the way!" Er Qiao used the Purple of Hermit to change the radio in the car: "Let me see what's on the radio in 2077..."

Er Qiao quickly changed the radio in the car.

The radio was filled with some noise because of Er Qiao's channel change.

What Er Qiao and David didn't notice was that the noise in the broadcast gradually formed a sentence as they kept switching.

[Bad Land…Pale…Hoof…of…Divine Punishment…]

The sound of the radio was soon replaced by other music.

Erqiao and David listened to songs together, discussed the bands on the radio, and drove towards David's home.

At this moment, in the land outside Night City, unusual dark clouds are gradually gathering in the sky, and rolling thunder and lightning are brewing in the dark clouds.

Many of the taller trees growing in the evil area were damaged by lightning. Some wanderers living in the wilderness couldn't help but curse a few words when they saw the horrible weather, and then continued to live their lives.

"Hey, what are you looking at?" one of the scavengers shouted to another scavenger who was squatting there.

"I found a strange hair..."

"Fuck! What's so good about a piece of hair! You didn't pull the curly hair out from under your head yourself!"

"No, it looks like the mane of something, and I was just shocked by it..."

"Stop dreaming! Hurry up! This is such horrible weather! Let's go back!"

The scavengers left here one after another.

What no one noticed was that the dark clouds filled with thunderstorms in the sky were gradually approaching Night City...

Night City is filled with a lot of electricity.

Chapter 186 Welcome to Night City!

“Wuhu!!!”

On the streets of Night City, Er Qiao did a drift and parked the stolen car on the side of the road near David's house.

"We're here!" Er Qiao's face was filled with relief. "I was wondering how I could be a vehicle killer. The Grand Commander just kept saying weird things. Look, didn't I get them there safely this time?"

Although David didn't understand what Er Qiao was talking about, he felt like he had escaped a disaster...

"JOJO, thank you for coming back with me." David said to Er Qiao after getting out of the car: "I... have to go upstairs first and find a way to explain the matter of the prosthesis..."

Now the prosthetics on David and Gloria's bodies have been directly replaced by their flesh because of the recovery medicine. David's condition is now as if he went out without his ID card or mobile phone... It is even difficult for others to scan David's identity.

Even now, he would probably have to find another way to get home... He would have to find another way to deal with the prosthetic body...

"I'll help you!"

Er Qiao also stood up from the car, holding the money he had robbed from the gangsters before along with the car keys in his arms, and put on a JOJO stance towards David: "Your next sentence is - how can I trouble you with so many things..."

"How could I trouble you so much...huh?" David was stunned for a moment after Er Qiao predicted the conversation, but Er Qiao directly pulled David upstairs and said, "It's already this late, why are you still worrying about trouble! The leader said it! After entering the rally, we're brothers! Don't waste time!"

Er Qiao's words touched David for a moment, but just as Er Qiao and David were about thirty meters away from the car, a huge explosion was heard behind them.

The two of them looked back in tacit understanding and found that... the car that Er Qiao had just driven away was now burning violently amid the explosion...

"JOJO, you just said... vehicle killer, right?" David's face froze.

If David and JOJO had walked a little slower, they might have been swept up in the vehicle explosion.

"That kind of stuff is all superstition! Don't believe it!" Er Qiao was anxious: "How could I be the vehicle killer that the commander mentioned?"

"Ah um... I see..." David nodded, but he had made a decision in his heart.

From now on, unless absolutely necessary, I will never ride in the same vehicle with Er Qiao...

With Er Qiao's Hermit Purple, the two quickly opened the electronic lock of David's house, and David put Gloria on the bed to rest.

"..."

David also found Gloria's clothes at home, and just like what he saw in Edgewalker, he found the military prosthesis "Sian Westin" attached to the clothes.

It was because of this prosthesis that he got to know Mann and others, and became a member of Mann's team, becoming an Edgewalker.

"Hey, what are you thinking about?" Er Qiao waved his hand in front of David's eyes. "Why are you staring at this fake spine in a daze?"

"JOJO, Hunter...even if he dies, he can be resurrected, right?" David said this while staring at the "Sian Westin" in his hand.

"What do you want to do?" Er Qiao looked at David. Although he guessed what David wanted to do, he still asked, "Have you decided?"

"It's not too late for you to prepare for a good life now!" Er Qiao and David said, "After all, the Grand Master is a good person. Even if you want to live a good life in Night City, the Grand Master will definitely provide you with help..."

"Live a good life and then what?" David said while looking at the prosthetic body in his hand: "You saw it when I came back today. Those gang members don't care about other people's lives at all. And even if it's me... in the future..."

David thought about how he would shoot the innocent mother in the future among the Edgewalkers.

There was a possibility that I might become like that.

"Also, I'm..." David closed his eyes and his mind was filled with the colorful figure he saw on the big screen in the cafeteria during the assembly, the girl with fluorescent hair in the style of Night City.

“I can’t just leave those futures alone.”

"Neh!" Er Qiao revealed a mysterious, manly smile. "You actually fell in love with someone just by looking at your own future. You're truly innocent!"

"I, I didn't!" David said stubbornly, "There are so many people who need me to save, how can you say that I just like Lucy!"

"I didn't say her name!" Er Qiao said, "Since you've made your decision, the captain will probably be happy to help you!"

"Do you know a prosthetics doctor?" Er Qiao said, "Just go get it installed! This time-stop spine and all!"

"It's 'Sian Westin'!" David corrected Er Qiao stubbornly, then turned to look at Gloria who was resting on the bed, leaned over and hugged his mother: "Mom, I'm sorry..."

"I will use other methods to stand out."

After saying goodbye to Gloria, David also prepared to set off with determination, holding "Sian Westin".

"Go to the prosthetic doctor, the one I'm most familiar with."

"Okay! Let's go!" Er Qiao also followed David and sent the meeting message to Nie Chiwu about the situation here.

And at this moment in the Scavenger Hospital...

Nie Chiwu and Xin Meir have already dealt with all the scavengers in the entire scavenger hospital.

Xin Meir's strength was far beyond Nie Chiwu's imagination. These weapons from 2077 couldn't even damage Xin Meir's clothes.

However, Nie Chiwu himself gained two kilograms after being beaten by this group of scavengers, and all the bullets were embedded in Nie Chiwu's flesh.

Although the hunter's strong body prevented the gunshots from seriously injuring Nie Chiwu, the pain was still real.

While Nie Chiwu was drinking recovery potion and loading bullets with a grin, he also saw the message sent by Er Qiao.

"David has made up his mind?" Nie Chiwu said excitedly, "Great! But he has to get a prosthetic body..."

Nie Chiwu scratched his head.

Night City's prosthetics should still be able to provide a lot of assistance to hunters.

But there is a troublesome point.

When using recovery medicine to treat, it is easy to squeeze out the prosthesis...

However, Nie Chiwu also saw what Er Qiao posted about David being stubborn for Lucy.

"Hey! Apart from anything else, you're really tough!" Nie Chiwu shared this matter with Xin Meir with a happy face.

"That's great," Xin Meier said. "David is very courageous... I should learn from him."

"Be an adult! How can you just stand by and watch xdx trying to chase a girl?" Nie Chiwu said confidently, "We have to give David some support!"

"This Night City...it's time for a true legend!" Nie Chiwu said. "Do you know where the most legends are?"

"On the wine list of the afterlife! And under all the V's guns!"

"The heavy hammer alone could kill 80,000 people in a day!"

Chapter 187: Hot milk, add red dates, honey and ginger and boil, large cup

On the streets of Night City, a somewhat strange, yet not so strange, scene appeared.

A man covered in blood was walking on the road carrying two sacks that looked like they contained something, followed by a young man with blue hair and a teardrop mole.

But no one could scan any information on the two men.

Generally speaking, there are only two situations in which this happens.

These two people have no prosthetics on their bodies. Another thing is that there is a hacker among them, making it impossible to scan each other's information.

How could there be anyone in Night City who doesn't have prosthetics!

Not to mention that both of these guys have big, scary shields and one-handed swords hanging from their waists... What if they're cyberpsychopaths or something?

With this thought in mind, people on the road avoided Nie Chiwu and Xin Meir as if they were seeing a flood or a beast.

"This feeling is new to me..." Xin Meier muttered as he watched the guys around him avoid him. "This is the first time I've been avoided like this. It's like I've encountered a ferocious beast."

"It's a lot less troublesome, so it's not a bad thing." Nie Chiwu said, "The place we're going to next is the most unique bar in this city. Most of the people in it are mercenaries in this city..."

"Afterlife."

Nie Chiwu said, "The bar's menu there is filled with the names of the city's legends—dead legends."

"So what are we planning to do there?" Xin Meier looked at Nie Chiwu carrying the two people he had just rescued from the scavengers, and said curiously, "You seem to be very familiar with this city."

"I'm very familiar with you. It's just a trick." Nie Chiwu sniffed. "It's like I know you. Is that understandable?"

"I understand." Xin Meier nodded. "So what are you going to do?"

"Let's leave our name and find the most powerful middleman in Night City!" Nie Chiwu said. "We still have an exploration mission to complete... and since we're here, we must leave our mark in Night City."

Nie Chiwu carried the two rescued people and Xin Meir together, and relied on his vague memory of the game to find the location of the afterlife in Night City.

When the guard at the entrance of Laisheng saw Nie Chiwu walking in carrying two sacks that looked strange, he was about to stop him, but when he looked down, he saw the one-handed sword at Nie Chiwu's waist and blood all over his body.

"Take me to see Roger."

Nie Chiwu said calmly to the guard, "Only Rogge."

"Are you planning to cause trouble?" The guard was alert, ready to draw his gun at any moment. "Who sent you here?"

The guard's eyes began to shine, as if he was about to scan Nie Chiwu's background.

Nie Chiwu curled his lips.

There's nothing but flesh and bones on my body, so if this guy in front of me can scan out a signal, he'd be awesome.

Nie Chiwu took two steps forward and thrust his face forward: "Take me to see Rogge. I have business to discuss with her."
