From Gotham to Night City, my notoriety is known to everyone

Twenty minutes later, the vehicle arrived at its destination.

After they parked the car, they immediately saw Jack sitting on a motorcycle, staring blankly at the cemetery. His big build and bun-like hair made him stand out in the crowd.

Leo walked up and teased, "Why did you change the car? What happened to Izuna Tenma?"

Jack had heard his footsteps a long time ago, and turned back and whispered, "That car is too noisy. I'm afraid it will disturb the souls sleeping here."

He pointed to the entrance of the cemetery with a sigh on his face, "Many members of the Wells family are buried here. When I was shot and hospitalized, I thought... I would soon become one of them."

Leo couldn't bear to hear this, and hurriedly interrupted: "You'd better hope for yourself. Mrs. Wells will beat you if she hears this."

Jack's face twitched several times, and the sadness in his heart disappeared instantly.

"Who said it wasn't true? I have to live well and not let my family die out. I'm still waiting to brag to my grandchildren, so I'll start with 'Back then, I too'! Hahaha!"

He was laughing happily when the voice of criticism came -

"Laughing at the cemetery gate, I think you want to be beaten!"

V took the lead, bringing Vera and Sasha with him.

Jack looked at her fist as big as a casserole, muttered "Haywood woman", and stood timidly beside Leo.

The two brothers lost their voice and followed the ladies forward.

On the way, they met many citizens who came to visit the deceased, including men, women, young and old. They were generally wearing plain clothes and had sad faces.

Under the influence of this atmosphere, everyone's expressions became heavy.

The columbarium on the hillside in the North Oak District is a cemetery. Several gravekeepers stand lazily at the entrance to prevent anyone from causing damage.

There are huge display screens embedded on the walls on both sides of the main entrance.

It shows the structure of the cemetery and also has the function of checking the location of the deceased.

But Sasha obviously didn't need this. She walked silently in front and led everyone into the cemetery.

Leo didn't know how to describe the cemetery in front of him. It was like a memory cell matrix in a chip and also like a Minoan maze.

There were tall black walls of urns lined up neatly, and he saw someone gently touch one of the urns, and a string of epitaphs and a blue wreath pattern appeared.

Sasha led everyone to the northwest corner of the cemetery, turned around and said softly: "Please wait here for a while, I want to talk to my mother alone."

Everyone nodded silently, respecting her decision.

Jack hesitated for a moment and scratched his head: "I want to go see my cousins. When they were still alive, we had a very good relationship..."

After saying that, he also sighed and walked in another direction.

The remaining three looked at each other, and Vera walked towards the entrance on the other side of the wall. "I'll guard over there, and you stay here, so that no one will disturb Sasha."

Leo nodded and watched the blonde Vera go to the other side.

After she left, he and V were the only ones left in this corner.

Remembering that V had mentioned her mother several times, Leo asked with concern: "Is your mother buried here too? Do you want to go and see?"

V nodded slightly, then shook his head vigorously: "My parents are here, but now is not the time to go see them."

She looked up at the sky and expressed her thoughts.

"My mother is a devout Catholic. Influenced by her, although I am not a religious person, I still believe that people have souls and that souls are immortal. After death, those who are pious and kind can go to heaven, a place without illness or suffering.

That’s why I sometimes think…death may not be a bad thing, maybe I can be reunited with my family.”

Leo opened his arms and hugged her gently.

V leaned in his arms and continued to talk:

“I have a thought that may be naive, I always feel that going to the cemetery to activate the tombstone is like calling my family in the other world, they can see me and hear my voice.

Therefore, in the years since my mother passed away, I rarely come here, just because... I don’t want her to see me hanging around the streets in such a miserable state.

I remember that the last time I came here was a year ago. I wanted to try my luck in Atlanta, so I came here to say goodbye to them. I also said... I also said that I would make a name for myself, and then I would come to see them in glory.

You know the result... If I hadn't met you, I would probably still be struggling in the ant nest, doing low-level commissions to deliver goods, and worrying about paying the rent every month."

Leo comforted her: "No, gold will always shine, and with your talent you will be able to make it sooner or later. Besides, you are doing pretty well now, why don't you go and give them a new impression of you?"

"That's just the beginning..." V shook his head in dissatisfaction, "I'm strong enough now, but I don't have any achievements to show for myself. Whether it's killing scavengers or stealing data, they're all small jobs that are not up to par. Forget about becoming famous. I guess few people will have heard of my name in my next life..."

"That's true. The lives of the minions can't be counted as achievements. Wait for me to come back next time, and I'll help you think of a way. At least you and the Immortal Squad should show up again."

"That's settled, I'll prepare well in the next few days!"

The two talked in low voices for a while, and V suddenly pushed his chest gently and got out of his arms: "Sasha is waving at you, go over..."

V looked a little conflicted, but ultimately just stood there and watched him walk away alone.

Leo was also very surprised. He originally thought that V and Vera would come together, but they were still guarding on both sides of the aisle.

He walked to Sasha alone and was directed by her to look at the tombstone:

【Galina Valieva — died for her country.】

"My mother was a member of the new American special operations force. She was seriously injured while on a mission and was sent to a cooperative hospital for treatment. You know what happened after that..."

Sasha's voice was calm, but that kind of calm was not relief, but rather a suppressed one, like the moment of calm before a volcano erupts.

Leo was about to comfort her when he heard her continue, "I've already told my mother - I've found out the truth of that year, and I will definitely make the biotech company pay the price! And... I want her to meet you..."

Leo had just finished listening to V's "phone call" theory, and he almost couldn't hold back when he heard these words.

What kind of cyber-meet-the-parents segment is this? Why is it so weird?

But... since I'm here, I might as well just do it to make Sasha happy.

He stood in front of the tombstone with an awkward yet polite smile on his face.

Sasha stood side by side with him with satisfaction and took out his mobile phone to take a photo.

Then, she turned around, unable to hold back her emotions any longer, and threw herself into his arms: "Thank you, if it weren't for you, I don't know if I could have found out the truth and had a chance for revenge. You are my hero!"

Leo endured the sharp gaze from behind and hugged Sasha reluctantly.

This is out of... uh, comfort, or politeness, V will definitely understand... right?

Feeling the amazingly soft body in his arms, he lowered his head, and his heart skipped a beat - this action of tilting the head back, closing the eyes, and slightly pouting the lips, it looked like she was asking for a kiss no matter how you looked at it...

I feel like if I kiss Sasha, I'll be in a relationship with her, but I don't know if I'll ever live to see the day when we can be together...

What finally made him make up his mind was Vera who was shaking her head slightly in the distance.

That’s right, V couldn’t see Sasha’s movements behind him, but Vera in front of him could see them clearly.

The merciful Virgin Mary shook her head slightly and advised him to cherish life and not play with fire.

Leo swallowed and while still wavering, he saw Sasha open her eyes with a hint of obvious disappointment in them.

suddenly,

He received a private message.

“Sasha: V…Is she a devout Catholic?”

"Leo: She's not religious, what's wrong?"

"Sasha: It's okay, just asking."

After the inexplicable conversation, Sasha broke free from his arms and returned to normal.

"Thank you for coming here with me to visit my mother. I have nothing else to do. Let's go back."

After saying that, Sasha took the initiative to walk towards V, gave her a hug, and expressed her thoughts.

When she was done, she hugged Vera again.

She hugged all three of them so that her hug with Leo wouldn't seem so special.

But in her heart, she was still thinking: Since V is not a devout Catholic, she shouldn't be too entangled in monogamy, right? Is there a possibility that she can join in and form a happy family of three?

Chapter 206: Sasha: Eager to Become Leo's Mentor...

The four of them got together and waited for a few minutes. Jack came back with a sigh on his face.

"Every time I come here, my faith becomes extremely devout. I pray that God really exists and that people can really go to heaven after they die..."

"Only kind souls can go to heaven. People like us with blood on our hands may have a hard time." V retorted instinctively, and then overturned his own statement, "But it's hard to say. If the world is hell, then we are just killing another group of devils."

The two Heywood people with Catholic backgrounds sighed a few times and quickly adjusted their mood.

Leo thought that he would leave tonight, so he invited everyone to attend the farewell party and talk about the plans for the next week.

Everyone had no objection because they all understood a simple truth - the dead are gone, and the living must still live well.

Leaving the columbarium, the depressing atmosphere slowly eased as the cemetery disappeared from sight.

Sasha regained his usual liveliness and took the initiative to talk about the next arrangements: "After receiving the reward for this mission, my funds have become very sufficient. It's time to start building a professional-level hacker base station and advance to a level 4 hacker!"

Leo himself also planned to go the hacker route first, so he was naturally interested in this topic and asked, "How are hackers divided into levels? Is someone like me who has just started considered a level 1 hacker?"

After spending these days together, everyone already knew that he was the big money sponsor and team leader, and the real super hacker was actually Chunbai, so it was no surprise that he would ask such a beginner's question.

Sasha quickly glanced at him, then looked at her fingertips, suppressing the excitement in her heart:

"According to the general classification, hackers can be divided into six levels from 0 to 5."

"Level 0 is the easiest. As long as you have a network access pod, even an old-fashioned one, you can be considered a Level 0 hacker.

Equipped with modern personal connections, even a level 1 hacker can perform simple hacking and gain the ability to control doors, elevators, vehicles, computers and simple electronic products.

A newcomer like you who has installed some high-end hacker implants should be considered a level 1.5. As long as you learn to use the cyber goggles and can enter cyberspace, you will be a formal level 2 hacker."

Leo understood. His hardware level was sufficient, but his skill level had not yet caught up.

Sasha glanced at V, who was concentrating on driving, and continued:

"Starting from level 2, hackers must start building their own base stations. This is because sneaking into cyberspace is extremely taxing on the body, and the slightest mistake can cause the body temperature to reach a lethal level.

This is when external cooling is needed to counteract this effect, and the simplest and most common form of cooling is a bathtub filled with ice, a modified air conditioner, or simply a modified refrigerator."

"When you reach level 3, you are considered a professional hacker. You need a hacker jumpsuit, a network access chair, basic vital sign monitoring and medical systems, etc. At this level, you can collect data from the deep web, operate and control the system of an entire building, and even face powerful corporate hackers."

"I'm about the same level now, so I can be your mentor. When you come back next time, come to my room to practice hacking skills! From the most basic bathtubs and air conditioners to professional hacker base stations, I have everything, which is perfect for beginners like you!"

Sasha's words were clear and enthusiastic, which made Leo very excited. He was in need of a mentor to lead him step by step into the world of cyber hackers.

Although Pure White is also very good, she has no physical body after all and cannot come to the real world.

Sasha is the most suitable candidate for this hacker mentor!

Thinking of this, he nodded like a chicken eating rice: "Okay, I also want to try what it feels like to fill a bathtub with ice cubes. It must be very comfortable to use that in the summer!"

Sasha shivered all over: "Uh... that's not the case. It was really cold at the beginning and it was easy to catch a cold..."

The two hackers started discussing professional issues. V and Vera didn't understand much and could only listen.

At 4 pm, all members of the Eternal Life Team gathered at Leo's house.

As the leader who was about to go on a long journey, he was given the privilege of watching TV in the living room, while the farewell party was hosted by the other four members.

Even Jack contributed the Wells family's secret Mexican hot sauce, which tasted great with burritos.

It tastes slightly sweet and bitter, with a special aroma. It goes well with rice at first, but once the aftertaste kicks in, it can turn you into a fire-breathing dragon, spewing fire from your throat.

Leo fell into the trap and had to drink two boxes of milk to barely save his life.

The meal was a great pleasure for both hosts and guests, and the spicy Mexican dishes dispelled the slight sadness that had been felt not long ago.

After dinner, after cleaning the table, Leo gathered everyone together and talked about the next arrangements.

"I will still stay in China for a week this time. On the one hand, I will purchase smuggled goods, and on the other hand, I will find a large research institute to show the experts the data we stole this time. Maybe we can find something interesting from it.

While I am away, V will be in charge of the affairs of the Eternal Life Team."

"……I?"

V pointed at his nose, looking embarrassed.

"I have no problem fighting, but I have no idea how to lead a team..."

Leo comforted him, "Don't be afraid. Jack and Chunbai will be in charge of receiving clients and selecting tasks. Chunbai can also be in charge of making plans and on-site command. You only need to lead the team to carry out the mission. Isn't that what you are good at?"

V thought about it and nodded quickly: "Well, that's the captain of the charge, I can do this job. Just tell me the mission target and location, I guarantee it will be done!

Oh, by the way, if it is a hired killer type mission, I want to try to bring the person back alive, just like the mission of the Mox Gang yesterday. I remember that Morgan Blackhand is the first lone wolf because he can complete the mission and capture the target alive. "
