The Creators: From Night City

He was unable to react for a moment when he saw Gloria, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, had a delicate face and was carefully dressed.

It was not until the other person ignored the thick oil stains on the surface of the bar and leaned sideways on the bar that I recognized the identity of the person by combining the familiar movements.

"Gloria!"

The boss was very happy to see her.

"I haven't seen you for a while. I thought you died in that corner."

Gloria's cheeks flushed.

"Bah, you don't expect me to order something good."

The boss was very happy to see his regular customer. He took one look at the exquisite clothes on the other person and joked, "How come you've become rich enough to wear such nice clothes?"

Jiang Bing walked up to the bar with his cane.

Chef Tom shifted his gaze to Jiang Bing behind Gloria, and as his eyes moved, an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.

"I thought so, you're married."

Gloria knocked on the table and rolled her eyes at him. "This is my boss, don't talk nonsense."

"Hahaha, you see, your temper is still as hot as before."

"Would you like a cup of your favorite Monkey King? It's my treat this time." The boss joked with Gloria in a familiar manner.

"No, give me the Uncle Tom's Deluxe Supreme Beef Thumb Set for Two."

Gloria blurted out a long string of words and almost suffocated.

"Hahaha, you still remember something that happened so long ago? It's not even on my menu anymore."

"How could I forget if I didn't eat it? Hurry up and have someone make it. My boss is treating us."

Tom glanced at Jiang Bing at the bar, smiled and started to prepare.

Gloria was very familiar with the layout of the store. She took Jiang Bing to a seat by the window and pushed the dilapidated stainless steel table inward with her hand before sitting down.

This way the table will stop shaking for a short time.

"Jesse, how's it going?"

The waiter in charge of cleaning and welcoming guests was a middle-aged woman wearing a brown work uniform and a brown apron.

"It's still the same, life is neither good nor bad."

"Haha, give me a few bottles of lazy embryo, I've been wanting to drink this for a long time."

While waiting for the food to be served, Gloria nodded and motioned Jiang Bing to look out the window.

Through the dusty window, you can just see the building where the Embers Restaurant is located not far away.

The entire building's exterior is covered in spotless glass and brightly lit, allowing you to make out the outlines of the well-dressed diners.

Hovercrafts take off and land on the roof from time to time.

Presumably, the Charleson duo came from this.

The entire building doesn’t just have the Embers restaurant on the 13th floor; the other floors are also filled with high-end establishments.

"When I was in the medical team, sometimes I would come here to grab a bite to eat after get off work too late. It's also right next to the subway station, so transportation is very convenient."

Gloria breathed towards the window and nonchalantly wiped the dust off the window with the lace sleeve of her evening dress.

"At that time, my dream was to have a meal there one day and experience the life of the upper class."

Gloria pointed to the freshly cleaned area of ​​the window where the embers were being framed.

"So I asked me where you wanted to go, and you chose Embers without hesitation."

Jesse placed several bottles of Lazy Embryo on the table. Gloria picked up a bottle, opened the cap, and gulped down half of it.

"Ha, but after I went there, I found out it was just like that."

“People will always be trapped in their lives by things they admire but cannot obtain.”

Jiang Bing picked up an unopened bottle of beer, flicked the cap off with his fingers, and also drank half of the bottle.

"I once dreamed of having a 4060. Even though it's nothing to me now, I still remember how I felt at that time."

Uncle Tom's luxurious supreme beef XX thumb set for two people gradually filled the entire table as the two talked.

Gloria cheered, grabbed one of the Legou sausages, bit off most of it, and chewed it with satisfaction.

Although the price of these things combined is not as much as that plate of tuna sushi with only three pieces.

"If you don't try something, you'll never know if it's suitable for you." Gloria swallowed the food in her mouth and sighed.

"But those things really don't suit me. There's too much red tape and affectation. It's still this place that I miss the most."

The rain outside the window kept falling, and the hotel's garbage air filtration system filled the air inside the store with a few traces of the pungent smell unique to acid rain.

Gloria didn't care at all. She enjoyed the smell with her rice and swallowed it in big mouthfuls, as if she was rewarding her past self.

It was also possible that the plates of cat food that Yu Jin provided were not enough to fill her up.

She quickly finished several bottles of Lazy Embryo, and then more wine was brought to the table.

The evening gown was stained from the excessive eating, and the stains were very conspicuous against the white background. However, the owner of the gown obviously didn't care. Under the influence of alcohol, her mind gradually began to wander.

The originally well-fitting dress gradually became disheveled as its owner twisted her body, and as Gloria leaned over, a large area of ​​white was spread towards the person opposite.

With Jiang Bing by her side, she seemed extremely relaxed because she knew she was not alone this time.

"Boss, do you think this city is sick?"

"possible."

"If the city is sick, how can we treat it?" Gloria was already a little hazy.

"People need to take medicine when they are sick, but what else can we do when the city is sick?" Jiang Bing tilted his head and looked at the homeless man who was huddled in the corner outside the store to avoid the rain.

"It can only be eaten by humans."

Gloria coughed twice, stood up, raised her head and looked at Jiang Bing's serious profile, and laughed.

She thought of David's father, a man she had known for a relatively short time, a man who had been swallowed by this city.

Combined with what he had seen with his own eyes, this city had already consumed too many lives, but the symptoms had not improved, but had become worse.

"What if eating humans doesn't work?"

"That means it's already terminally ill." Jiang Bing reached out to support Gloria, who was staggering as she walked.

"We need to use iron and fire to eradicate the diseased area, dig out the rotten flesh with a shining blade, draw away the pus of decay with death, and sprinkle the flesh-regenerating powder of change to see if we can give birth to the flesh of hope and let the blood of new life flow."

Gloria tripped and fell into Jiang Bing's arms.

Her eyes were blurred and she murmured to herself, "Can it be cured?"

Jiang Bing replied coldly: "It would be better if you can, otherwise."

Looking out the window, his gaze was pulled away from the homeless man wearing a Mewtwo headband, who was shivering with pleasure, and he stared at Gloria's eyes, whose eyelashes were trembling.

"Otherwise, let's burn this city... to ashes!"

Gloria was already very drunk and didn't know if she heard Jiang Bing's answer clearly.

So Jiang Bing had no choice but to go home while holding the other person in his arms.

Chapter 132 There is a policy above

Delamain's taxis are stocked with basic hangover remedies, although their primary purpose is to prevent customers from vomiting in the car.

However, thanks to Night City's highly developed nightlife, the hangover drugs were very effective. By the time the car drove into Coronado Farm, Gloria had regained basic consciousness.

"Where are we going?"

The beauty caressed her arms, and Delaman turned on the heater at the right time.

"Directions to your home, Ms. Martinez."

After Gloria's house was built, she only lived there for a short time before moving with Jiang Bing's family to Base No. 6 in the Badlands, which is currently in a semi-abandoned state.

Fortunately, old Logan cleans the house regularly, so it is not completely abandoned.

Jiang Bing supported Gloria, who was feeling top-heavy, and walked two steps. Seeing that her steps were really unsteady, he simply picked her up.

The weight of over 100 pounds seemed like nothing in Jiang Bing's arms.

At this moment, Jiang Bingcai realized that the evening dress she was wearing was too thin.

As the other party twisted his body, Jiang Bing's heart couldn't help but ripple slightly.

Although no one has lived here for a long time, fortunately there are basic sheets and bedding in the room.

Jiang Bing put Gloria on the bed and was worrying about how to change her evening dress which was stained with oil when an arm suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

The sleeping beauty on the bed had opened her eyes at some point, her eyes full of spring.

They are all adults, how could Jiang Bing not understand at this moment.

then.

The strong wind sweeps the fallen leaves, and the rain smashes the banana leaves.

Her soft tears wet her rosy cheeks, and her slight glance caused the ripples to ripple.

The light of the jade pot turns, and fish and dragons dance all night long.

… (Click here for detailed description▼)

In the morning, Gloria held her waist and almost couldn't get out of bed. The scale of the battle last night was too crazy even if it was in Night City.

Jiang Bing's physical fitness was basically equivalent to turning on the physical strength lock, which made her almost suffocate.

But needless to say, XO is indeed the best way to relieve stress. After last night's experience, all the pent-up energy accumulated from working non-stop for many days was cleared out. I just felt relaxed all over, with a sense of comfort from the inside out.

Mrs. Martinez stretched out in the sunshine, causing a ripple of waves. Yesterday's evening gown was completely ruined, and the body of the dress was torn to pieces all over the floor.

Fortunately, there were some spare clothes in the room.

She got out of bed naked and was bending over to pick out clothes in the closet when Jiang Bing, who was in the outer room, heard the noise and pushed the door open.

The two looked at each other, and the person in the room calmly spread his hands to gesture to the uninvited guest.

Jiang Bing retreated.

In the open-minded Night City, this was not a big deal at all. Gloria returned to Base 6 and quickly got back to her busy work, as if nothing had happened.

It's just a pity for David, who didn't know that the boomerang he threw many days ago finally flew back and hit him on the forehead.

The NCPD (Night City Police Department) is an amazing organization.

First of all, as the best embodiment of state violence and public power, it is itself a business.

As the company responsible for Night City's security, NCPD was originally funded and established by the Night Group. However, after two corporate wars, the financial power of NCPD fell into the hands of others and was gradually sponsored by City Hall and major companies.

You have to eat whose food you eat and do whose work you do.

This also explains why the NCPD is so powerless to deal with the messes of major companies.

Before the current director of NCPD took office in 2076, it had been in debt. The new director reversed the downward trend in a short period of time after taking office.

But the method is something you would never imagine.

As the new chief who came from a former corporate sales background, he chose to lay off most of the NCPD police officers, gave up the Badlands and Pacific State, and made every effort to cut personnel costs.

Thanks to his efforts, NCPD successfully turned losses into profits.

Recently, this violent law enforcement department is even preparing to go public to make money.

From this, you should understand how unreliable it is.

The NCPD is divided into five major departments.

patrol division, investigative division, tactical division, cybersecurity division and internal affairs division.

The patrol officers roaming the streets belong to the patrol department, which is also the department with the largest number of grassroots police officers and the most complex structure.

NCPD Santo Domingo Division.

Lakely Song, the head of the patrol department, knocked on the door of the chief's office.
