Chapter 33 Before the mission

Fortunately, Sasha caught Rebecca in time, reached out and pressed down her little hand holding the pistol, and kept comforting her in her ears.

Only then did Rebecca sit down reluctantly while muttering something like "let you go".

"Okay, let's introduce yourself to everyone, David."

"Ah, yes!" After hearing Bai Xing's words, David immediately stood at attention and said solemnly, "Well... my name is David, David Martinez, and I live in the super skyscraper h4 in Santo Domingo.

The prosthetic body used is Sianwistan..."

"Don't talk like this, you idiot..." Lucy immediately lowered her head and stroked her forehead, complaining speechlessly in her heart.

Not only Lucy, but everyone else looked at David as if they were a fool.

How on earth can a person like this, who comes up with a resume about his life, survive in Night City until now.

"Huh? Are you kidding me? How can you use Sianwistan?" Rebecca's anger just now has not been completely cleared up.

"It's true!" David replied seriously.

"Wait a minute, Rebecca, please don't make any noise first."

At this moment, Mann pushed up his sunglasses on the bridge of his nose.

"Your name is David Martinez? Who are you, Gloria Martinez?"

"Ah? Do you know my mother?"

"Are you Gloria's son?" Mann said strangely, "Then I do believe you have Sian Westan."

Dolio had met Gloria several times because of her relationship with Mann, and she had a good impression on her, so she teased her.

"Isn't that woman Gloria very smart? How could she have a son like you?"

"Don't say that, Dolio." Mann laughed. He hadn't seen such a pure person in Night City for a long time. "This kid is quite to my liking. I like him!"

"But if you want to live well in Night City, you can't do it like this. I will teach you well."

"But now, kid, please sit down quickly, we are going to get down to business."

After seeing everyone seated, Mann looked at Sasha and nodded to her.

"Send them everything you find."

"Yeah." Sasha's eyes lit up, and the data was being uploaded.

"Lucy, what is this..." David, who had just joined the team, was confused about the information he was given.

Just two short lines.

9:10 am on the 11th, the southernmost part of Night City.

"Didn't Bai Xing tell you?" Lucy glanced at him and saw that he didn't look like he was looking for something to talk to her, but that he really didn't know.

"This is our next big job, to rob a train."

But this information is indeed a bit too simple, Lucy thought.

Bai Xing asked everyone's doubts.

"Sasha, is this all the information? Isn't this too brief?"

"If I have more information, I will definitely share it with everyone." Sasha spread his hands and said that there was nothing he could do. "The guy we caught has just this kind of stuff in his head."

"I originally wanted to continue the in-depth search, but who would have thought that the guy's head was suddenly burned. Judging from the means, they should have silenced him internally."

"Doesn't this seem more suspicious..." Bai Xing complained.

It was transported by that kind of old-fashioned train, and the information was so scarce, it was really hard not to think about what exactly was being transported on it.

"Then, here's the route." Sasha sent a document again.

The train's route was now clear. It started from the southernmost part of Night City, passed through the bad land, and finally arrived at another adjacent city.

"That place..." Lucy frowned.

"What happened to that place?"

"If I remember correctly, there is a war going on there, and it hasn't ended yet."

"You mean, the train might be transporting arms?" Dolio thought of something and asked her.

"It's possible, but I can't guarantee it. And if it's really just arms, there's no need to keep it secret like this."

"Maybe it's some newly developed secret weapon?"

"Maybe he's escorting a senior military officer?"

Everyone discussed their conjectures, but in the end it was Mann. He slapped the table and said: "Okay, stop guessing. What we have to do is to stop the train before it reaches its destination!"

He picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp.

"Wish us good luck!"

——————————

"Lucy! Lucy!"

Lucy was walking home after the show when she heard the familiar voice behind her.

Looking back, it turned out to be him.

"Is something wrong, David?"

"What a coincidence, Lucy. I didn't expect you to be here. It turns out that this is the surprise that Brother Bai told me."

"Well, it's quite a coincidence."

The two of them walked side by side on the street, but the atmosphere fell into silence.

Lucy chose to break the silence. She said: "If you don't want to be your Mr. Arasaka, why are you here as a mercenary? Don't you think your life is not long enough?"

"I told you I wasn't meant for that job, but now this is what I want." David scratched his head and smiled.

"Oh, by the way, are you feeling better? You didn't use Sianwistan as much as you did that day, did you?"

"Of course not, and under Brother Bai's training, I have become more and more proficient."

"Shirahoshi..." Lucy pursed her lips. This person is the person with the most mysterious past experience in the team.

Her senior Qi Wei once said that no one should be trusted in Night City.

Although Lucy is very comfortable in Mann's group, she might as well check out your experiences first.

Only Bai Xing's experience was completely blank.

Even someone as smart as Lucy would not have thought that the reason why Shirahoshi's past experience was blank was that he had no past in this world at all.

So she asked: "Now, David, how much do you know about your big brother Bai?"

"Brother Bai? Well, actually it doesn't seem to be much. It was Brother Bai who saved me in a car accident before, and then I got to know him."

"Car accident?"

"Yes." David recalled that unfortunate encounter, "My mother and I encountered people from the Animal Gang attacking a company vehicle on the way home, and then we were involved. That's all."

"So you and Bai Xing haven't known each other for long? Do you trust him so much?"

Upon hearing this, David made an expression like "What are you talking about?"

"Lucy and I haven't known each other for a long time," he said. "Brother Bai gives me the same feeling as you. He is someone I can trust completely."

"You..." Lucy didn't know what to say. She suddenly stopped and said, "Okay, I'm home."

"Ah? Oh!" David was stunned for a second before reacting quickly and stopped.

"See you next time, Lucy." He quietly watched the girl climb the stairs step by step.

"..."

The girl's figure suddenly appeared from the stairs again.

"Why don't you come up and sit?"

"Eh?! Is that okay?" David said with a surprised look on his face.

"Can't you fall in love?"

Lucy blinked at David, turned around and went upstairs.

"Wait for me!"
