After hearing Sun Jack's suggestion, Si Ai put down his chopsticks and lit a cigarette.
"Young Handsome Guy's suggestion is good. PUS, if you don't accept, then I won't join either."
Vajra and the Priest also put down their bowls and chopsticks. They didn't say anything, but they both looked at Song 6PUS, their meaning obvious.
It was clear that they had almost not made it back from the previous incident. It was impossible to say they had no feelings about it.
Song 6PUS really wanted to refuse. He wanted to switch to being a broker precisely because he didn't want to risk his life on the front lines. However, he knew that if he truly refused, his hastily assembled team would likely disband on the spot.
After much hesitation, he finally agreed. "OK, I accept. From now on, we'll make money together."
Hearing Song 6 say this, the Priest looked up thoughtfully at Sun Jack and nodded in agreement.
Seeing that three people had joined, the remaining Si Ai and Vajra naturally didn't hesitate and also expressed their willingness to join.
"Haha! Let's have a toast! To our great fortune!!" Six Cups of Wine clinked heavily together.
After the cups were put down, the atmosphere at the table immediately eased a lot.
Song 6 glanced at Sun Jack and tapped his wine glass with his chopsticks. "Since we've decided to work together from now on, I'll talk about our next job."
"Huh? So soon?" Everyone present was very surprised.
Song 6PUS couldn't express his bitterness. He didn't want it to be so soon either, but Jack had taken all the money. The money he used to treat everyone to this meal was borrowed from loan sharks.
If he didn't find a way to make money soon, he was afraid he wouldn't even be able to keep his gold teeth.
However, even though that was the reality, he couldn't say it like that.
He stood up and, with a flourish, fabricated, "This job is a rare opportunity with a generous reward. I worked hard to get it. After this one, we'll take a good rest."
"What are you planning to steal again?" Taipai, holding his chopsticks, poked at the spider eggs in Jack's bowl listlessly.
"No!" Song 6 waved his hand. "This time, we're not going to do aimless things like stealing. This time, we're going to kill people!"
"Kill people?" Everyone's attention was instantly drawn.
"Can I ask a question? Where is the commission from?" the cautious Vajra asked.
"It's a BCPD job! How about that, didn't expect it, right! I can even get their jobs. Bro, do you think I'm awesome?" Song 6 said proudly to Sun Jack.
"I don't care if you're awesome. Tell us clearly what kind of job this is first," Taipai interjected.
Sun Jack agreed with this. Although he was indeed short of money now, he wasn't willing to earn just any money.
"I've sent the case files. You can take a look."
When Sun Jack clicked the link Song 6 sent, his already meager appetite vanished completely. The link was filled with gruesome images of bloody corpses, their insides strewn everywhere.
"Lately, every night in Puxi District, someone is being brutally murdered, and they're all women."
"This Monk knows about that. God Statue Street is right in the middle of Puxi District," Vajra said after swallowing the food in his mouth.
"Amitabha, listen to this Monk. My customer said this person is likely a Cyber Maniac. Because of this person, even this Monk's business has been affected."
"Cyber Maniac? Shouldn't that be BCPD's Lesson 6's responsibility? Why would they outsource this kind of thing to mercenaries?" Si Ai asked, confused.
"It's D. 4i. Normally, Lesson 6's D People handle these jobs, but that's when Cyber Maniacs go crazy on the streets."
"But the problem now is that this D Madman is good at hiding. Every time they kill someone, they disappear. Lesson 6 is busy and too lazy to play hide-and-seek with this person, so they tossed the job to us."
Sun Jack looked at the case file, listening to Song 6's words. He truly hadn't expected that mercenaries would take any job, legal or illegal, as long as they were paid.
Si Ai, a doctor, immediately noticed the problem. "Wait, are you sure this person hides after killing? That doesn't sound like the typical characteristics of a Cyber Maniac. Is it a new type of illness?"
Hearing this, Song 6 shrugged. "It doesn't matter. As long as we solve this, we get paid. Dead or alive."
At this moment, Sun Jack was quickly reviewing information on Cyberpsychosis using the system. He found that this job seemed even more troublesome than the last one.
If it were just an ordinary perverted lunatic, it would be fine. But if it were a true Cyber Maniac, who knew how many Combat Prosthetics they had stuffed into their body.
Moreover, it was almost certain that a Cyber Maniac would have considerable strength, as only those who desperately crammed Prosthetic Limbs into their bodies would become Cyber Maniacs.
"PUS, what's your plan this time?" the Priest asked.
"It's simple. The places where the bodies are found are fixed. We'll find someone to act as bait, lure the killer out to that spot, and then we'll kill them. We'll throw the body in front of the BCPD building, and the money will be automatically transferred."
"Is it really that simple? Are you sure there won't be any other unexpected issues?" the Priest looked at Song 6. "Before, because of your oversight, we almost all died there."
Seeing the Priest point the finger at him, Song 6 quickly pulled Sun Jack closer. "But didn't we survive in the end? We have Jack! With such an awesome existence, what do we have to fear?"
These words drew everyone's gaze to Sun Jack. Everyone remembered what had happened before, making Sun Jack a little uncomfortable.
"Wait, Old 6, it's better to clarify some things beforehand," Sun Jack pulled his hand away. "My ability, I can't control it temporarily. I'm not sure if I can still use it if we really get into trouble."
Furthermore, considering how many prosthetics the other party had, it was wrong to risk their lives rashly, especially since his own body was made of flesh and could die from a single shot.
This was life, and there was only one. Once it was gone, it was truly gone. Sun Jack didn't dare to gamble.
Seeing that everyone else was hesitating, Song 6 became anxious. They weren't in a hurry, but he himself was burdened with debt.
"The total reward is 57@! That's 10@ each! I'm taking the smaller cut this time! So, are you in or out? Don't you all need money? Why else would you be mercenaries?"
As soon as he said this, no one objected. It was clear that Song 6 PUS was right about this.
10@ per person, and with himself and Taipai, the reward for this commission was 20@. The reward was indeed generous, but the danger was also undeniably high.
Seeing them still hesitating, Song 6 PUS immediately intensified his efforts. "We don't necessarily have to fight him to the death. We just need to hold him off. By the time Lesson 6 shows up, we'll still get half the reward!"
