Seeing the street gangsters outside the window who were unaware of the impending disaster, Su Xiao shook his head.

Pacifica The gangsters in this place are terrible compared to the gangsters in other parts of the city.

When gangsters from other places see a luxury car like Delamain, they know at a glance that the person inside is a big shot they can't afford to offend.

So don't try to trick the passengers, they won't even come close.

It's not like the street gangsters here at Pacifica. They act like they have never seen the world. When they see people, they want to come up and try to see if they can take advantage.

But then again, since Capital left Pacifica, no big shot has been willing to come to this ghost place.

Not to mention NCPD.

If you have only started to be involved in Daoism in the past few years, then you have really never seen much of the world.

inside the car.

The voice of artificial intelligence sounded at this time.

"It has been detected that you are in danger. For your safety, Delamain recommends that you use combat mode."

"Use combat mode."

"Received."

"Why didn't this guy react at all?"

"I'm afraid I'm so scared that I wet my pants inside, jiejiejiejiejie--"

"Hey, what's that?"

In the surprised eyes of all the gangsters, Delamain Taxi's trunk suddenly opened a hole, and an automatic rotating machine gun slowly rose from it.

At this time, even the gangsters who had never seen the world finally realized that something was wrong and ran away in a hurry, shouting.

It's only now that I think of running away. It's obviously too late.

The torrent of metal sprayed out by the automatic rotating machine gun took less than five seconds to shoot these provocative gangsters into a hornet's nest.

The passers-by in the distance were so frightened that they ran as fast as they could and fled in a hurry.

As for calling the police...

They won't do this.

Because it's useless

The late Lucius Mayor Ryan had already zoned out Pacifica, so even though Pacifica actually belongs to one of the urban areas of Night City, in name, Pacifica is no different from the bad land outside the city.

Even calling the police is useless, the NCPD will never come to a place like this.

It is said that when people reach middle age, they cannot help themselves. This sentence is most suitable for Bryce·Mosley.

He has worked for NetWatch for twenty years so far.

But his conscientious and conscientious work attitude did not allow him to rise to the top.

On the contrary, because Mosley is a married man with a senior and a junior, his boss caught his weakness and forced him to do it all by himself. The bully was that he did not have the courage to leave his job like a single young man.

What's even worse is that even though his career has stagnated, Mosley's family has fallen apart.

Because his wife couldn't bear that Mosley had been working away from home all year round, she filed for divorce, which directly turned Mosley's hard work and resentment in the company into a joke.

Fortunately, Mosley's boss was "considerate" enough about Mosley's mood. In order to take care of his mood and prevent him from thinking about sad things, his boss specially transferred him from the British headquarters to Night City on the other side of the ocean.

This is a "good intention" and definitely not because other people within NetWatch are unwilling to take this job.

Although my boss and colleagues say so, Mosley is not a fool.

He did work hard in the company in the past, but it was just to earn money to support his family, and he was not really so stupid that he didn't know how to take a rest.

How could he not know that this so-called care was just once again dumping other people's mess on him, an honest man?

However, knowing it, Mosley did not resist.

The departure of his wife and the bankruptcy of his marriage made his mentality completely indifferent.

Anyway, the family is gone, and there is no possibility of career advancement.

If you go to Night City, just treat it as a trip on public funds.

What's more, he has never left the UK before, and this is the first time he has gone abroad in his life.

Night City is said to be a City of Dreams, equivalent to New York on the West Coast, and is an independent city that does not belong to any country.

It must be a civilized, prosperous and beautiful city.

Chapter 293 I can't do it (4K)

Such a relaxing thought was shattered after coming to Night City.

Because after arriving here, he finally understood why other colleagues in the company were unwilling to come here.

This mud horse is not Night City at all, but fucking Africa and Latin America, right?

Although when I was in the UK, I could often see on the news that Night City another shooting occurred somewhere and how many casualties were caused.

But damn, how can anyone play with machine guns and RPGs on the street?

Mosley just can't believe that the British news dog can spit out ivory from its mouth.

Now Mosley believes it.

As soon as I arrived at Mosley in Night City, I felt the enthusiasm of the Pacifica natives. The gang members held "Copperheads" Kinetic Assault Rifle, roaring and shooting in the sky or around.

If Mosley hadn't been riding in a high-end bulletproof car at the time, I'm afraid he would have been beaten to death before he could officially take up the post.

Fortunately, Mosley is not an ordinary foreign tourist, but a NetWatch agent who has received strict training. He also conducted research before coming and knew that no matter what kind of trouble Night City encounters, he can always go to a middleman.

The middleman is equivalent to the master of all things in Gintama.

Therefore, after Mosley drove away from the scene of the gunfight, he immediately contacted Pacifica's local middleman, Mr. Hanz.

It was also through Mr. Hanz that he hired Animal Gang to protect himself.

And Grand Imperial Mall was used as an outpost and stationed there.

Animal Gang's employment fee will be reimbursed by the company, so Mosley doesn't have to worry about this.

And Animal Gang is worthy of being a professional bodyguard.

Although these guys are a bit rough, they still respect themselves as their employer.

And with them here, no one dares to approach this Grand Imperial Mall, so you can do your work with peace of mind without being disturbed.

If it were anyone else, most likely they would choose to lie down and die after realizing that they were actually being exiled in disguise.

animals anyway

You don't have to pay the hiring fee yourself.

Although Pacifica is a bit chaotic, but with the protection of Animal Gang, he will not leave Grand Imperial Mall, so no matter how chaotic the outside world is, it will not affect him.

Moreover, I am so far away from the UK that my superiors have no control over me at all.

Very chic.

But Mosley is not that kind of person.

He is the kind of person who treats his work meticulously. Even if there is no one to supervise him, even if he can fish, he will get the job done conscientiously.

Otherwise, he will feel very uncomfortable and think that he is a slut and a salary thief.

Perhaps this is the reason why he was unable to get promoted even though he worked very hard, while his juniors who joined the job later than him were able to surpass him.

Although because of hiring Animal Gang, my own safety is guaranteed.

But Mosley still feels very distressed.

The reason for his distress is that he doesn't know how to complete the tasks assigned to him by the company.

The reason why NetWatch sent him to Night City is to eliminate the trouble of Voodoo Boys, who keeps creating holes in the black wall that protects mankind.

But after coming to Night City for a while, Mosley discovered that there was no way to start.

First of all, even if we contact Pacifica's middleman, Mr. Hanz, there is no way to obtain detailed information about Voodoo Boys from Mr. Hanz.

The information Mr. Hanz can provide is nothing more than:

Voodoo Boys is a gang whose members are all hackers. Their hacking skills are very powerful and they often hack into the computers of individuals, ordinary merchants and companies to extort money from them...

Voodoo Boys is composed entirely of Haitians. They are very xenophobic. Although they sometimes find outsiders to work for them, these outsiders are without exception regarded by them as "footcloths", which means they will be thrown away after use...

Due to their excellent hacking skills, even if they are notorious, some people will still bite the bullet and hire Voodoo Boys, but most people would rather find a third-rate hacker than cooperate with Voodoo Boys twice...

Not only is Voodoo Boys's stinky reputation and the possibility of being treated as a "foot wipe" by them, but also their attitude...

Voodoo Boys The eyes of these people are all on the top of their heads. No matter you are white, black, Asian, or Latino, as long as you are not Haitian, they will look down on you...

These guys are a bit like the Haitian version of the Ku Klux Klan, as if they think all races except Haitians are inferior...

Although the information provided by Mr. Hanz is not uninteresting, it is not what Mosley wants.

What he wants more is:

The specific number of people Voodoo Boys (including the number of gunmen and hackers);

How strong are their hacking skills (can they only blackmail ordinary citizens, or can Subnet, who can hack into giant companies, escape unscathed);

Where is their stronghold? Are there any branch strongholds?

Are Pacifica's other Haitian immigrants related to them? Do they provide them with all support including manpower, funds, and protection?

Is there support from other companies behind Voodoo Boys? Is it a black glove from other companies?

If not, what is the source of funds for Voodoo Boys? What do they rely on to support their activities?

Finally, and most importantly, the leaders of Voodoo Boys are Maman Brigitte and Placide. But in addition to their names, can you provide more detailed information about these two people?

For example, their past experiences, etc.

Unfortunately, Mr. Hanz is unable to provide this valuable information.

It's not a matter of money or not, it's just that Mr. Hanz really can't do it.

Although he is Pacifica's middleman, because he is not Haitian, Voodoo Boys still doesn't even give him face.

In fact, it's not like Mosley has never thought about seeking help from big companies.

You know, if the black wall is destroyed, all human beings will be affected, including these large companies.

No matter how many hackers these giant companies have raised, they will never be able to survive alone in the face of Rogue AI's massive invasion.

However, even though Mosley was mentally prepared, he still underestimated the arrogance of these giant companies.

Both Arasaka and Militech politely rejected his request.

It's not that they can't get along with NetWatch, on the contrary, they have close cooperation with NetWatch.

They just don't want to deal with Mosley, a little ordinary agent.

Their customer service staff politely expressed their willingness to provide Mosley with all support in addition to practical help. They will always stand with Mosley in spirit.

No matter how earnest Mosley is, these big companies do not believe that what Mosley describes will really happen.

In the end, it was Savage King who introduced Rogge to Mosley.

As the leader of Animal Gang's largest force, Savage King is certainly qualified to enter the "afterlife" and also knows Rogge.

As a native of Night City, Savage King also knows that if there is anyone in the city who can solve Mosley's troubles, it can only be Rogge.

After Mosley had a conversation with Rogge over the phone, Mosley was shocked and surprised.

Hi.

Fortunately, Rogge not only has a solution to the problem that even Mr. Hanz can't solve, but also promises to help Mosley solve it.

But surprisingly, Rogge was not satisfied with the five million euros proposed by Mosley as a reward.

With the idea of shopping around, Mosley, after looking for Rogge, called other middlemen in the city to hear their prices.

As a result, the other middlemen, after hearing that they were going to deal with Voodoo Boys, didn't even ask how much the remuneration was, they just told him that they couldn't take the job, and then hung up.

This really confused Mosley for a long time.
