The ceiling above my head was damaged.
A big hole was blown out.
The fluorescent lamp was broken and shattered, there was a conspicuous gap in the metal ceiling, and dust rustled down.
"What's going on?"
Emmerich heard the noise outside the door and came over after hearing the news.
"Mann? Mann!"
"I'm fine, Rebecca, you go first." Mann took out an inhibitor and plunged it in hard, then put the muzzle back into his arm, "Su, please take Rebecca with you and go first."
"Is it really okay for you to be alone?"
Although I haven't been in contact with Mann for a long time.
Even including this time, the two of them only met twice in total.
But Mann gives Su Xiao the impression of a trustworthy and reliable team leader.
It shouldn't be like this.
Chapter 55 Hua Zi is waiting
"Don't worry," Mann's left hand held his right arm that almost lost control just now, "I'm fine."
Su Xiao nodded upon hearing this.
Seeing that he seemed to be back to normal.
He said nothing more.
He took Rebecca's little hand and ran in the opposite direction of Emmerich.
"Mann Will he be okay?"
"No one was hurt, just something was broken. It should be settled by just compensation..."
realize this
The statement was not very rigorous. Su Xiao added, "At most, you may be banned and will not be allowed to enter the next life in the future."
"That's really miserable."
The next life is Mercenary Holy Land.
Not allowed to enter the next life.
It is equivalent to the athlete being permanently banned from competition.
However, Su Xiao is more concerned about another issue than not knowing what kind of punishment Mann will face.
"Mann Does this happen often? How long has it been?"
Rebecca is not hiding anything.
"Ever since he installed the pair of mechanical prosthetics, this situation has happened almost occasionally. Either Projectile Launch System cannot be activated when needed, or like just now, it occurs when it should not be activated."
"Does everyone else in your team have any objections?"
"Dorio asked him to replace the pair of mechanical prostheses more than once, but Mann..."
Rebecca didn't say anything more after that.
But Su Xiao can already understand what Rebecca means.
Mann seems to be quite stubborn.
To put it in nice words means to stick to your point of view.
But if you say something unpleasant, then you are insisting on having your own way.
Su Xiao can probably guess what Mann is thinking.
In fact, they are just like most of Night City's mercenaries.
As long as it can increase combat effectiveness, use it;
If you have a good prosthesis, just install it;
Even if this prosthetic body is obtained from a dead person;
Even if this prosthetic body is incompatible with me;
Even if this prosthetic body may bring irreversible consequences to my body...
I don't have the time or energy to think about that much.
Just install it and use it.
Dead and pulled down.
But as long as you are not dead, use it to your death.
Su Xiao is not a prosthetic doctor.
The research on prosthetics is not that thorough.
However, since even the owner cannot control the prosthetic body implanted in the body at any time and at will.
It means that the pair of mechanical prostheses are really not suitable for Mann.
Even Mann now uses inhibitors to regain control.
But inhibitors are like drinking poison to quench thirst.
No matter how effective it is, you only need one pill now.
Customers will need more and more in the future
Moreover, there will come a time when even inhibitors will no longer be able to take effect.
By that time, everything may be irreversible.
Su Xiao was just thinking when V's holographic phone called.
"Su, where have you been? Why haven't you come over yet?"
"Sorry, I'll come right away."
When Rebecca was outside the door and almost had a conflict with Emmerich, Su Xiao asked V and the others to go find Regina first.
After I went to rescue Rebecca, what happened to Mann happened next.
I didn't think of that much at once.
"Rebecca, I have something to do now and I have to leave first. As for "Kenshin", can I give it to you when I contact you again?"
Rebecca nodded.
Then he reluctantly looked at Su Xiao with a look similar to that of an abandoned kitten.
It's really unbearable to be stared at by Rebecca like that.
Su Xiao had no choice but to say.
"When I finish my work, I will call you as soon as possible."
Only then did Rebecca turn from gloomy to sunny, and waved vigorously at Su Xiao: "You must remember it."
Box No. 4.
Regina was in the private room, waiting until the day lilies were cold.
Seeing Su Xiao finally come in from outside, I couldn't help but complain a few times.
Everyone else had already arrived, Su Xiao walked to the seat deliberately reserved between V and Lucy, sat down, and got straight to the point.
"What exactly is going on?"
Regina nodded.
She is also a fiery and resolute woman.
No more nonsense.
"A few days ago, after I got the original film of Black Market Dream from you, I handed it over to Bryce. Bryce found a Mewtwo editor he knew and asked him to help him. A few days later, Bryce got the clues about the murderer he wanted."
"Let me guess, the murderer of his son is a big shot. He can't afford to offend him, so we need to take action."
"No, the situation is different from what you think, Su." Regina shook her head and looked around the box. "Have you heard of the name Ichijo Daisho?"
Su Xiao and others looked at each other.
They all saw the same confusion in each other's eyes.
"I have no impression. What does this person do?"
"Ichijo Daisho held an important position in the City Hall and maintained good contact with many bureaucrats of the City Hall. It was he who brutally murdered Bryce's son and made him Black Market Dream."
"I don't know where he got the information from, but I know that Bryce found clues from the original film of Black Market Dream. So Ichijo Daisho immediately found Bryce, hoping to mediate privately."
Su Xiao frowned. "Bryce refused?"
"That's right, no matter how much Ichijo Daisho is willing to pay, Bryce insists on exposing the evidence in his hands to the media. He wants to send Ichijo Daisho to jail."
V, who was sitting next to Su Xiao, shook his head. "I can understand the pain and anger of a father who lost his son, but I have to say that it is really irrational to refuse in person."
Jack also nodded in agreement. "At the very least, it should be hypocrisy and resignation.
, one thing in front of others and another behind his back, first agree to his conditions and stabilize him, and then come to us to kill that piece of shit."
Lucy lowered his head. "He believes in God. Unfortunately, in this sinful and dirty city, even the light of God cannot shine in, and He cannot protect His believers."
Regina took out a cigarette.
I took out my lighter and was about to light it, but then I thought it was inappropriate.
So I put away the cigarettes and lighter again.
"If Mr. Bryce had your cleverness, he wouldn't be in this situation now."
"Has he been threatened with death?"
"No, it's worse than that. He was thrown into the lunatic asylum at Santo Domingo."
Su Xiao and others couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
The official name of Santo Domingo's insane asylum is actually Night City Mental Health Center, also known as Redwood Psychiatric Hospital.
In such an era of rapid growth of Cyberpsychosis cases.
Night City's mental hospital seems to be able to solve the city's urgent needs.
From traditional medication and psychotherapy, to deconsciousness and dream experience recovery.
Redwood Psychiatric Hospital has all the treatments available.
At the same time, Redwood Psychiatric Hospital also launched an innovative project that it is proud of - "Safe Space".
Completely isolate the patient from the outside world.
Chapter 56 Redwood Psychiatric Hospital(×)St. Elizabeth Hospital(√)
Some people agree with Redwood Psychiatric Hospital's approach.
believes that eliminating visiting hours is key to successful treatment.
Others hold the exact opposite opinion.
They suspected that the reason why these so-called psychiatrists were not allowed to visit was because they were doing something shady.
Compared with "thinking", middlemen like Regina, who have a lot of data and information in their hands, are much clearer than their "thinking".
Redwood Psychiatric Hospital is nominally the health medical center that treats Cyberpsychosis.
But in fact, that mental hospital treated more than just mentally ill patients.
There were also NCPD officers who were thrown into the mix because the investigation was too much and the relevant stakeholders did not want to pursue it any further.
And people like Bryce who are unwilling to compromise.
In addition, there are various rumors about that mental hospital, which the outside world thinks are rumors, but are actually true things that happened.
For example, staff often abuse patients and take pleasure in doing so.
