There are more cheap goods in the house, all displayed on the shelves. There are also many prosthetics that are obviously second-hand, all crowded in buckets. There are several buckets in total. Regardless of the quality, at least this guy has a lot of goods.

Bai Rui walked alone among the shelves, scanning the various mechanical prostheses that came in various shapes and were produced from half a century ago to a few days ago.

Looking at these arms, legs, and synthetic spines hanging in disarray on the shelves, Bai Rui felt a little bored. They were all cheap stuff and of no use to her at all.

"Hey, who is that?" As if hearing Bai Rui's footsteps, the door of the lounge opened and half of his body leaned out.

With a stern tone but a weak heart, the man poked his head out tremblingly with a knife in his hand. After looking around and confirming that it was really only Bai Rui and a young girl, he breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door and walked out.

"Welcome, welcome~" The man immediately changed into a slick business tone. As a prosthetic doctor, he looked Bai Rui up and down to determine what kind of goods he could afford. "Sit down and take a look. I have all kinds of goods."

"Dr. Charles?" Although the other party's look was extremely rude, in order not to alert the enemy, Bai Rui still tried his best to pretend to be a customer who came to buy prostheses. He looked at the other party with a look that was one part vigilant, two parts flattering, three parts awkward, and four parts worried.

Chapter 21 Black Doctor Charles

"I'm Doctor Charles. Whatever you want to replace, a new arm or the best artificial lungs, I have it all." Charles said eagerly. Seeing that Bai Rui was a woman, he added, "Although I don't have a sex doll chip, I have a channel. If you want it, I can get it for you at only 80% of the original price."

Ignoring the nonsense the other party said, Bai Rui frowned and quickly looked at the other party.

The man named Charles was wearing a transparent plastic surgical gown and a jellyfish mask made of the same material on his head. He looked like a doctor, but also like a butcher dissecting the remains.

Unfortunately, in Night City, butcher and doctor are sometimes synonymous.

While Bai Rui was observing the other person, Charles was also observing Bai Rui.

She was dressed like a street guy and didn't look like a wealthy person. The "prosthetic body" with exposed wires on Bai Rui's hand made him sure that the other party must be short of money, which meant that he couldn't get much money from this girl.

But sometimes, you have to take a long-term view. After all, people themselves are precious "resources". Especially when Charles saw Bai Rui's rare "pure" face in Night City, he was even more convinced.

That’s right, having a good-looking face is valuable, Night City is so humane.

Charles smiled secretly in his heart and silently made his own plans.

Although he had no money, he had a pretty face. Charles quickly categorized Bai Rui into several categories. The next step was to prescribe the right medicine and try to squeeze the most out of him.

Charles likes poor people because being poor also means being empty-headed and easy to fool, especially the girl in front of him, who may not be able to stand the polluted air in Night City and needs a new filtration system, or may have an organ that is diseased and needs artificial repair, but Charles doesn't care about these.

He only needed to use some slightly more expensive tools on her, and then threaten her with several times the price. Then he could look at her crying face, rip off her clothes, enjoy the first soup, and then sell her to the snakehead in Niuniu Street to make a fortune.

As for whether the other party will retaliate, how can a pauper have the ability to retaliate? Charles is very confident in his methods. Even if there are some twists and turns, don't forget that he has a backstage to protect him.

Just like that, in less than half a minute, Charles had already arranged the rest of Bai Rui's life.

Good people shine because of their different deeds, while bad people are always surprisingly evil. When Bai Rui saw the other person's gloomy, sewer-like eyes, she knew what was going on.

This guy is the kind of black doctor who is more despicable than a frog's piss. Even if ten out of ten are shot, there may still be some who escape.

Let's first find a reason to inquire about the shipment and see if we can get some information before dealing with this guy.

"Doctor, save me, the prosthesis on my right hand hurts so much, it's driving me crazy." With an idea in mind, Bai Rui immediately hugged his kinetic arm guard with a look of pain on his face. As if to cooperate with her words, electric sparks flashed between the pipes of the arm guard, and Bai Rui also screamed at the right time.

"Come on, come on, sit down and let me see how I can help you!" Charles pretended to be a dedicated doctor whose mission was to save lives and heal the wounded, and quickly asked Bai Rui to sit down.

"No, doctor." Bai Rui took a hard look at the seat, his face showing the embarrassment of poverty. "My money is only enough to buy a cheap second-hand prosthesis."

She didn't want this evil doctor to find out that her "prosthesis" was actually external armor.

"I heard from my cousin that there are some cheap and easy-to-use prosthetics in Little Chinatown. Doctor, do you have any?"

Bai Rui pretended to lower his eyes, but his mind was focused on Charles' face, watching to see if he would reveal any flaws.

"Little Chinatown?" Hearing this name seemed to arouse Charles's vigilance. He frowned and looked carefully at Bai Rui in front of him before relaxing again.

"Oh, you mean the low-quality stuff made by those guys in Chinatown." Charles sat on the chair and started complaining. "Hey, stop it. I just ordered a batch of goods from those guys in Chinatown last time, but they were robbed on the way. I asked them to compensate for the goods but they refused to pay me back. I'm so worried now."

This doesn't look fake, could it be that I guessed wrong?

Looking at Charles's complaining look with his head down, he really looked like a sucker who lost both the goods and the money. Bai Rui was not sure for a moment whether the other party really had nothing to do with the robbery.

But, luckily.

Bai Rui carries a lie detector with him.

"Hey, Doc, take a look at mine."

"What?" When Charles thought he had fooled the girl in front of him, he was shocked when he looked up. He saw the black muzzle of a gun on the other's waist pointing at him.

Seeing this, Charles turned pale and raised his hands, not daring to move.

"Behave yourself, come here, pull your pants down to your heels, and lie down face down on the ground." Bai Rui smiled sweetly, pointed the gun, and asked Charles to come to the open space in front of her. She would not give him a chance to escape.

It cannot be said that Bai Rui is very skilled at this kind of thing, but he is very skilled.

"Hurry up, don't dillydally!" Seeing Charles still standing there in a daze, Bai Rui yelled and shook the gun in his hand, scaring the other party so much that he trembled.

"Okay, okay, I'll do it!" Although he didn't know why the patient he was plotting against just now turned into a ferocious robber, Charles didn't dare to joke with his own life. He quickly did as Bai Rui said, took off his pants, and lay face down on the ground.

Bai Rui was familiar with the process. He first threatened the victim with a gun and then controlled him to prevent him from escaping. It was an assembly line-like operation. Even experienced robbers had to give Bai Rui a thumbs up.

There are some rules to playing the no-cost business.

For example, if someone pulls out a gun to threaten someone, he cannot point the gun at the other person's head like those rookies in TV dramas, as if they are afraid that the other person will not dare to take his gun. Bai Rui holds the pistol at his waist, which not only has the maximum shooting range, but also prevents the victim from grabbing the gun in desperation. This is the choice of a professional.

Asking the victim to pull his pants down to his heels and lie face down on the ground can restrain the victim to the greatest extent without any contact. If you don't believe it, you can try it. It is very difficult to get up from this position, and it is easy to trip over the pants when running. During this time, the gunman can send him to see the King of Hell ten times.

Charles, who was lying on the ground, figured it all out in a hurry and felt like crying but had no tears. He thought that a pretty easy target had come, but who knew that it was a fierce bandit. Who had he offended?

"Name!?"

"what?"

"I asked you your name!"

"Charles."

"gender!"

"Man, please, don't shoot, I'll give you money..."

"Did I fucking ask you a question?" Bai Rui kicked Charles in the stomach rudely, causing him to bend over like a shrimp and his eyes rolled back.

"You answer whatever I ask, understand?"

Charles closed his eyes and nodded painfully. He could no longer speak.

"Who got the goods from Little Chinatown?!"

"I don't know, I really don't know, I'm just a customer..."

"Read my ID to me!"

"7, 78341..."

"When is your mother's birthday?"

"February. February 2th."

"ID, repeat it!"

"78341..."

"How much profit did they give you from that batch of goods? Tell me!"

"I really don't know, how could that group of scavengers, uh..." When talking about scavengers, Charles was suddenly stunned, and then his eyes became frightened. He had never been so frightened even when Bai Rui pointed a gun at him.

"Haha." Bai Rui laughed. "I don't think I told you that the theft was done by a street cleaner."

She thought she had really wronged this guy, but she didn't expect the "lie detector" in her hand was so effective. It immediately exposed the other party's flaws. If she had known earlier, she would have come directly and saved a lot of trouble.

"No, no..." Charles' face was pressed against the cold ground, sweat all over his forehead, and he stammered, unable to utter any words to defend himself. He had indeed let the cat out of the bag just now.

The next second, the door of the clinic opened with a bang, and Arnold strode in. He picked up Charles from the ground like a chicken and slammed his head against the wall.

Arnold kept moving, pressing his knee against the other man, covering Charles' mouth with his big leather-gloved hand, and using his other hand to break Charles' thumb with a snap like folding a pea.

The big toe was twisted and turned outward, with the bone stump clearly visible. Beads of sweat broke out on Charles' face from the fight, his eyes rolled back, and the screams from his mouth were covered by Arnold's big hand, leaving only a humming sound like a fly.

"This is the price you pay for being naughty, understand?"

Bai Rui leaned on the table with a gun in his hand and said to Charles with a smile.

"I'll give you another chance. Tell me what happened to that batch of goods. Think it over before you speak. This time I'll break your fingers, next time, it'll be your head!"

Bai Rui, who has a cute little face, has cruel eyes at this moment.

She has always been ruthless towards these scum who cooperate with the scavengers.

Chapter 22 Friendly Settlement Strategy

Just as Charles likes poor people, Bai Rui likes people who are afraid of death, because people who are afraid of death can save her a lot of effort and will just tell her all the information obediently.

And Charles in front of him is undoubtedly a qualified person who is afraid of death.

When Arnold let go of his hand covering his mouth, he gasped and told her all the bad things he had done, even the color of his mother's underwear.

"The plan to rob that batch of goods was made by the scavengers. One day, they came to me and said that someone in Little Chinatown had robbed their business. They wanted to teach them a lesson, so they asked me to order a batch of goods, and then they would rob him to show their power..."

These facts, of course, also include his collaboration with scavengers and his deception of some poor people.

This guy is a complete scumbag to be honest.

From him, I learned that Charles used to be a legitimate cyborg doctor business, but when the scavengers came and scared the guy with a flashing gun, he gave in and was forced to start cooperating with the scavengers - the scavengers provided cheap goods and he was responsible for selling them. At the same time, he was also responsible for informing the scavengers about some customers who were easy to take advantage of.

Some of the patients who saw him were caught by scavengers and had their prostheses removed. Those bloody prostheses were placed on the shelves.

Those who passed through his hands were considered lucky if they were executed on the spot and their prosthetic bodies were dismantled. Some unlucky ones were caught and tortured to death after being filmed as Black Mewtwo. It was so miserable.

Listening to this guy talking with tears and snot, Bai Rui's expression did not change, but she was already furious. If she didn't have something else to ask, she would have wanted to shoot this guy in the head immediately.

"I was forced to do it, really. I didn't want to do it. It was all those scavengers who forced me to do it!" As if he saw the murderous intent in Bai Rui's eyes, Charles opened his mouth and begged for mercy. If Arnold hadn't pinned him down from behind, he would have wanted to kneel on the ground and beg Bai Rui to spare his life.

What Charles said was true. He was indeed forced into it in the beginning. His share of the scavenger transaction was pitifully small, only 20% of the total income. It was more like working unilaterally for the scavenger than cooperation.

"Really?" Bai Rui looked at him coldly, his murderous intent unabated.

She had seen people who were accomplices to evil, but this was the first time she had seen someone who was so active in doing so. This guy kept saying that he was forced, but he didn't show any mercy when it came to harming people.

He's trying to save his life now, but when those innocent victims begged for mercy, did he waver at all?

"Yes, yes!" Charles nodded hurriedly. From his surprised eyes, it was not difficult to tell that he thought he had a chance to survive.

"Oh, oh, I'll give you a discount. From now on, when you come to my store, everything will be 50% off. No, no, it's free. I'll give you anything you like for free."

Charles seemed to have his mind twisted and was in a hurry to bribe Bai Rui.

"I have a lot of good stuff, feedback circuits, adrenaline enhancement parts... they are all high-end products produced by Zeta Technology. If you want them, take them all for free." In order to survive, Charles didn't care about anything else.

Bai Rui had already made up her mind to kill, but on the surface, she showed a smile. She wanted to let this evil doctor experience the feeling of falling from heaven to hell.

"Really? Fine then. I don't want your stuff. Just tell me where the stolen goods and the scavengers are and I'll let you go."

Bai Rui put away his gun and showed his friendly attitude.

"This..." But Charles' reaction was different from what Bai Rui expected. After hearing the word "scavenger", he widened his eyes and opened his mouth without saying a word.

"No, absolutely not!" Charles shook his head in horror. "If the scavengers knew that I betrayed them, they would never let me go!"

When Charles thought of the tragic appearance of the victims at the hands of the scavengers, his pupils trembled wildly. He knew how cruel the scavengers' methods of torture were, and that it would be a fate worse than death.

"It seems that you think I'm easier to talk to than a scavenger, right?" Seeing Charles's expression, Bai Rui frowned and ordered Arnold to tie his hands behind his back and lift him up.

It seems that I have to give him a taste of pain before he will tell the truth.

"No! No!" Charles cried out in horror.

Blue light emanated from Bai Rui's kinetic arm guards, and his fist vibrated under the electric current as he slammed hard into Charles' stomach.

With a "puff", Bai Rui only felt a slight obstruction, and blood sprayed on her face. Looking closely, she saw that the iron fist had already hit Charles' body, and dark red organ fragments and blood were flowing down the torn gap like rain.

"Damn!" Even Bai Rui was shocked.

Playing Dafa.

Bai Rui quickly pulled out his fist, but Charles had already rolled his eyes and seemed to be out of breath.

Charles is dead.

Bai Rui looked at her iron fist covered in blood in doubt. She didn't expect that her kinetic arm guard was so powerful that it could be pierced through in one shot.

What to do now.
