People are in cyberpunk, but they are top-level cyberpsychopaths

After a few not-too-long busy tones, the call was connected.

"Hello, is this Nancy Hartley?"

"Who is it? How do you know that name?"

A mature but not old voice, but with a hint of doubt, came through the communication.

Even through the screen, he could imagine Nancy's slightly frowning face at that moment.

“I’m David Martinez.”

"David Martinez? The one from the Terrorist Squad? What do you want from me?"

Hearing David's name made her even more confused.

Although the morning news on News Channel 54 did report on David's incident today, a corresponding explanation has been given.

What's more, it was not her who reported it, nor was it her who interviewed it, so it shouldn't be her who should be blamed for the trouble.

"Don't be nervous Ms. Nancy. I don't mean to cause trouble. I came to you because I have an exclusive news to sell you. I wonder if you are interested."

"Scoop?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment. "Then let's meet and talk... And I no longer use that name. Please call me Beth Isis now."

"Okay, I understand, Ms. Nancy."

Nancy: “…”

-------------------------------------

After one hour.

They decided to meet at Tom's Restaurant in Watson's District.

Since it is such an important matter to discuss, it is natural to arrange the venue in this legendary hotel.

Sitting opposite him was a woman in a denim jacket. Although her hair had turned gray, her eyes were full of vicissitudes, and her face was left with indelible marks of time.

But you can still tell that this person was a great beauty when she was young.

The only thing is that the voice is not right. It sounds quite young, probably around 30 years old at most.

This woman is Nancy Hartley, now Beth Isis.

"So, what news do you have?"

Nancy, no, it should be Beth asked.

But David ordered a drink and drank it happily. Under the coercion of Beth's almost impatient eyes, he said slowly:

"Before I talk about this, I want to tell you the pros and cons."

"This news may make you soar to the top and even replace the current head of News 54 - Jillian Jordan."

“But at the same time, it may also cause you to lose your job and be hunted down by the company.”

"company?"

Beth frowned slightly when she heard this. "Which company? Could it be military technology?"

Since it would make her lose her job, she couldn't think of any other reason except the shady dealings of military technology.

But David shook his head: "It's not military technology, but its old friend, biotechnology."

"Oh~"

Best immediately stretched out his voice: "It seems that you really got something there yesterday. Tell me, what is the shady deal?"

"..."

Hearing the other party's words, David's mouth twitched involuntarily.

How come everyone thinks I was the one who led the attack on the biotech company?

It's even more unfair than Dou E...

It seems that Rogge really didn't extort enough. His reputation is worth more than just one million!

However, what he didn't know was that the matter had gone viral on the Internet.

Everyone is talking about his attack on biotechnology, and it has even become a topic of conversation for some people after drinking.

But then again, it was indeed he who caused the huge losses to the biotechnology company. If it weren't for those howitzers, the upper floors of the building wouldn't have been burned to ashes.

"Well, forget it. Take a look at this first."

David pinched his nose in annoyance, then took out a separation chip from his pocket and threw it over.

"This is a top-secret document that was pulled out of a biotechnology server. It's probably information about a drug called [securicine]. This painkiller was probably released more than a decade ago, and it seems to be selling quite well until now. However, it mentions some undisclosed side effects, such as neurodegeneration."

David tried hard to recall the relevant information he had seen and recounted it one by one.

After Beth picked up the separation chip and inserted it into the slot, what she saw was almost the same as what David said.

According to her memory, this painkiller was indeed released more than ten years ago and was a best-seller.

But this side effect has never been seen before.

Not even one person spoke.

This also made her re-recognize the power of biotechnology companies.

"How about it? Can you do it?"

"...You are such a shady person. It's really easy for me to lose my job."

Beth pulled out the chip and put it back on the table. She didn't answer his question directly, but just talked about something irrelevant.

But David almost understood the meaning.

"Can't you?"

David shook his head regretfully and picked up the chip on the table. "Well, this trip is in vain. I'll go see if WNS is interested."

Since Nancy couldn't afford the order, he didn't force her, and there was no need to complain.

After all, this news is of great importance and can even shake the delicate position of biotechnology in Night City.

To put it bluntly, Nancy only works for News Channel 54, so it is normal for her to have her own concerns.

He was mentally prepared before coming.

However, according to his understanding, WNS would definitely be more interested.

"and many more!"

However, when he just got up from his seat and was about to leave the restaurant, Nancy suddenly called him.

"What? Changed your mind?"

"Yes." Nancy nodded. "I'll take your news."

Wuhu.

This is really a pleasant surprise.

"Aren't you afraid of losing your job? As far as I know, your News Channel 54 and biotechnology are both from NUSA, not to mention that military technology is also related to biotechnology..."

"I know."

Before he could finish, Nancy interrupted him: "Of course I know what you said, but this is also an opportunity..."

"I've been fed up with those idiots on News 54 for a long time, and now's my chance to give them a hard time... F*ck, if you're brave enough, just fire me!"

"Oh~"

Nancy's hot temper...

As expected of a band member, she is still Nancy, the keyboardist of the Samurai band, without any change.

"Okay, it's decided. I will write this article for you personally. What do you think?"

"That's great."

David sat back in his seat, handed the separation chip to Nancy, and said, "If you are really fired or hunted down, call me."

"No matter where those stupid corporate dogs take you, I will get you out safely."

"If you are short of work, then come to the Terrorism Squad. We are short of clerks here as well."

"The Terrorist Squad? That's where the cyber lunatics gather?"

Nancy's eyes became suspicious when she heard this, then she smiled with relief: "No problem, I'll consider it."

Thus, the two of them reached a strategic cooperation.

As for money and such, there is no need for that anymore.

After all, he had already extorted one million from Rogge, and he was risking his life to report the story, so he would not take the money.

As soon as he walked out of the restaurant, he called Mower again.

"Hey, Mower, where's Sasha? Is she awake?"

"No, she's still sleeping."

Mower's characteristically neutral voice came over the phone.

She is so beautiful and has such a nice voice, but she never shows any emotion.

She is always well-behaved, but her expression is as cold as iron.

Although this is not bad, you will never know what is going on in such a person's mind.

He even missed the cyber madman who was shouting and killing in the courtyard...

"Since you haven't woken up yet, forget it. I have something I want you to tell me."

"Well, wait a minute."

David: “???”

Hearing this, he slowly typed a few question marks.

What's going on? What are you waiting for?

And it sounds like he is picking up something?

After a few seconds, Mower's voice came again.

"All right."

Judging from the sound, it doesn't seem like they are using implants to communicate...

But he didn't think too much about it and said bluntly:

"Please tell Sasha: 'Things have been settled here, and there may be news in a few days.' Tell her not to worry anymore."

300

79. Who is plotting against whom? (6K)

"'Things have been settled here, and there may be news in a few days.' Tell her not to worry anymore."

David's voice echoed in the room.

"You should have heard what he said, right? Don't worry about it anymore."

After hanging up the call, Mower put the PDA in his hand back to its original position and turned to look at Sasha who was lying on the bed.

Even though she said this, Sasha lying on the bed remained motionless, as if she was really asleep.

But Mower knew that Sasha had woken up a long time ago, she just didn't expose it.

And the reason she asked David to wait just now was to transfer the communication to the PDA so that Sasha could hear it with her own ears.

After all, when it comes to things like this, her retelling is definitely not as effective as hearing it with her own ears.

However, judging from the results, it doesn’t seem to be that good?

Mower looked at Sasha for a while, shook his head helplessly, and turned to walk towards the door.

"Think about it carefully and decide what to do next."

After saying this, he left the room.

Soon after the door closed, the room returned to silence again.
