In Night City, I was picked up by a female V

"Oh, this is really a bit restricted. I heard that the cleaner who reported the case was so scared that he peed his pants on the spot."

"Also, I have exclusive news. Those unlucky guys who were hung up were not the 'maintenance workers', but our old friends the Tiger Claw Gang. Of course, they are the most unwelcome ones."

"This is WNS News. In response to the terrorist attack in North Oak, NCPD North Oak Chief Inspector Hernandez made a speech. NCPD will adhere to the consistent principle of zero tolerance for urban terrorism and will consider requesting the intervention of the Terrorist Mobile Team when necessary. At the same time, the North Oak District Police Department will open a humanitarian assistance channel on its official website for the families of the 57 victims..."

"Look at what you have done."

In the secret conversation room of the Afterlife Bar, Roger changed the TV channel several times, but most of the time he was talking about what happened in the North Oak District during the day.

And the culprit of this incident was right in front of him.

He was in a bad mood, especially when he saw Bai Rui's innocent face, Roger became even more annoyed. He simply turned off the TV and threw the remote control on the table.

Rubbing his brows, Roger was wondering what else he could do about this matter.

The current development of the situation no longer allows her to suppress it.

Fifty-seven people.

Although an average of 7,000 people "disappear" in Night City every year, an average of 180 people disappear every day.

But a provocative mass killing like this would not be forgotten by Night City for two or three months.

More importantly, the Tiger Claw Gang will not ignore such a provocation.

A gang war is about to break out.

As the underground queen of Night City, Rogge quickly came to a conclusion about the war based on his intuition gained over the years.

The Hive cannot win this war.

A small organization of less than two hundred people faced off against the Tiger Claw Gang, which had thousands of fighters throughout the city.

Just think about what the ending will be.

"You are too reckless, Bai Rui. I really can't help you this time."

Roger sighed and made this cold decision.

"Reckless? No way!"

When Bai Rui heard Rogge say this, he looked indignant.

"Do you know how the Tiger Claw Gang treated my people? They were the ones who started this war, and I just slapped them in the face. Is that wrong?"

"Look at these news media, pretending that they don't know that it's not the Tiger Claw Gang, not a black super dream factory. When I went into the basement, I even saw a poor guy with his stomach hollowed out and two ultra-clear cameras."

“And that’s how they report the news.”

"I'm just doing what's right, and I won't back down."

"Rog, help me, I, Hive, really need your help now."

At the end of his words, Bai Rui did not forget to mention the purpose of his visit.

She came to Laisheng Bar to ask for help.

Although he was determined to fight the Tiger Claw Gang to the end, Bai Rui also knew that the Hive could not win this war alone.

She needed all the help she could get.

Before the Tiger Claw Gang launches a large-scale attack, she must unite all possible allies.

"Oh, childish!"

Roger put down the cigar that was about to reach his mouth immediately. Bai Rui's words made her sneer.

Fairness, justice, what is Night City like to you?

This place is just fucking unreasonable.

But Rogge didn't say much. She believed that the Hive was doomed this time and didn't want to get involved too much.

What's more, the reason why the afterlife enjoys its current status in Night City is due to its neutrality.

Roger wouldn't let himself get involved in a gang fight.

A losing war.

"Since you helped Johnny, I will give you 500,000 euros through an anonymous account. If you can do something with this money, then do it."

"And, as...well, friends, I'll give you one last piece of advice. Leave Night City while you still have a chance. Go far away and don't come back."

Roger shook his head after saying this and leaned back on the sofa as if we were done.

This is already driving away customers.

But Bai Rui was unwilling to give up.

What she needs now is not money.

Leaving Night City is the last option.

What's more, Jack, Lao Wei and others have close ties in the city, so how could they leave?

Shaking his head, Bai Rui made up his mind.

Raising his head, staring at Roger's face with his shining eyes, Bai Rui spoke slowly but firmly.

"Rog, what I need is not a ride, but ammunition, soldiers and weapons."

"..."

"Sorry, I can't help you."

After pondering for a long time, Roger finally shook his head with difficulty in the face of Bai Rui's expectant eyes, and Bai Rui's gaze gradually dimmed.

"Rog, maybe you're making things too hard for Little Bai Rui."

A crisp female voice sounded, but the words were filled with fatigue and dejection that did not match the voice.

Johnny, who had been keeping her eyes down and silent beside Roger, finally spoke.

"Even though I'm a bastard, I still know that I have to repay the guy who pulled me out of the electronic shithole. Don't worry, Bai Rui, I'm on your side in this war."

"And, Roger, I was hoping you could help, too."

"Oh, that's easy for you to say. I haven't cleaned up your mess enough over the years. Last time it was Arasaka Tower, and this time they want me to fight in a gang war."

Johnny's proposal was met with a scolding from Roger, but she did not refute it and just listened silently.

Johnny waited until Roger finished speaking before speaking again.

"You know, Roger, I feel that Bai Rui and V are a bit like us, equally capable, equally ignorant and arrogant, thinking they can change this city."

"This city always wants to tame people into what it wants."

"But my answer is no, I will fight to the end and never compromise."

"Rogge, please help. It's not for me, but for this city. The people in this city have been numb for too long. They need a storm to wake them up."

......

There was a long silence afterwards. Bai Rui waited anxiously for Roger's reaction, wondering whether Johnny's persuasion would work.

"Do not."

Bai Rui's heart sank instantly.

Roger tilted his head and squinted at Johnny.

"You are nothing like Bai Rui V and the others. They stick together like a magnet, but you are just an asshole who doesn't recognize anyone after pulling up his pants."

Listening to Rogge's words, Bai Rui's brows gradually raised again.

It seems there is still hope.

"so what?"

Jiaoni asked the question on behalf of Bai Rui.

"Okay, I'll think of a solution and prepare some supplies you'll need, but now, both of you get out of the room. I want some quiet time."

Roger rubbed his brows and sighed.

I made a stupid decision.

Chapter 255: There aren't many friends in the Hive, but each of them has unique skills

"You really convinced Roger, that's amazing, Johnny!"

As soon as he went out, Bai Rui waved his fists excitedly.

She pulled in the Hive's first ally.

"Of course, I told you that Roger would always listen to me."

But Johnny wasn't that excited, instead she looked as if it was a matter of course.

"She wears earrings and says dirty words, and she pretends to be serious, but I know she has a soft personality. If I persuade her with a few soft words, she will agree sooner or later."

Well, people who are loved are indeed fearless.

Jiaoni was in high spirits, and the way she analyzed Hu Bi made people feel a little uncomfortable.

"What's that expression on your face? Don't you believe what I said?"

"Believe it, believe it. Who says I don't believe it?"

Bai Rui nodded repeatedly and finally fooled Jiaoni.

"Hey, Xiao Bairui, do you have any cigarettes?"

Jiaoni reached into her pocket skillfully, only to find it was empty.

It seems that he didn't bring it with him when he went out.

"Ah, yes, yes."

Bai Rui was stunned at first, but as luck would have it, she really did.

Although she herself doesn't smoke, nine out of ten people in this hive are heavy smokers, so she developed the habit of carrying cigarettes with her.

It seems that artificial lungs do have some benefits.

At least those smokers don't have to worry about getting lung cancer.

What is this called?

Nicotine free?

Bai Rui took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Jiaoni.

"Ok?"

Jiaoni folded her hands and frowned as she looked at the cigarette in Bai Rui's hand but did not reach out to take it.

"Who smokes this? I smoke e-cigarettes now."

"Hey, why didn't you tell me earlier? It's unnecessary for me to bother with this."

Bai Rui couldn't help but roll his eyes at Jiaoni's disgusted look.

"Forget it, don't worry about it. I want to ask you, have I finished my new machine?"

"Of course it's done. The system has been debugged. You can test it tonight."

Previously, Johnny defended the Hive Building alone, and Bai Rui promised to make a new body for her.

The one that was rushed was just completed recently.

"Yes, Not Bad."

Jiaoni nodded seriously, seeming very satisfied with Bai Rui's progress.

"While this body is fun to love, I still miss my original appearance, including but not limited to my 18cm little cannon."

Um......

Sometimes it is hard not to feel puzzled by the serious look on Jiaoni's face when she said these dirty words.

Is this guy joking or does he really think so?
