Vol 8 Chapter 5: sociable

A wild roar of unknown meaning.
The voice of a man.
The scream of a man angry with pain.
Johnny and I have no vivid senses at this time, we can only listen to these.
Then another man: "Hey, who are you? This is the construction site, please go out for irrelevant personnel."
The roar paused for a while, then the sound of the bullet being loaded.
"What are you doing?! Put down your weapons! Ah!—"
Bang--
With this gunshot, I felt a great sense of existence, and we got out of the inexplicable space-time vortex.
Almost immediately, I realized that everything in front of me did not actually happen in the time and space we were in. This was the moment when the worker who fell to the ground was killed.
Now that the moment was solidified, the poor worm was about to fall, his chest and back were pierced by a bullet, and the bullet jumped on the ground with a few stars of blood, and the air was distorted and the traces were clear.
If it is not clear for me to say this, then I will say it differently.
The pocket watch brought Johnny and I to the moment of the incident, and it was a moment of stagnation, like a pause frame when editing a Super Dream movie.
The same is that the time-space range of this retrospective is limited. Looking around, there is a blurry shadow in the distance.
The difference is that the super dream movie is only a carrier of information, and everything in front of you is a historical fragment that has actually happened, which means that it can hardly be edited—unless it is some kind of extra-dimensional power, then I can’t control it, but In short, this kind of personal experience can get more information than editing super dreams.
To be honest, I didn't understand for a while, what Lu Zongping meant for giving me this pocket watch, maybe it was because I needed to use its power to explore the truth. What is the truth? I don't even know what I want to resist.
Johnny tut complimented, "Now I have no doubt."
"Do not doubt what?" I watched around the attacker Cedric.
"Do not doubt that you can become a great detective."
"I don't think it's interesting to be a detective, but thank you for your compliment."
Johnny also said, "So, that friend of yours, just gave you things like this? It seems that he is really a kind God."
"Johnny, I have known Lu Zongping for nearly 20 years. I even went to the community school he organized. His bar is as warm as home to me."
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious about one thing. Why do you know that person for twenty years, yet you know so little about him?"
"I don't know, I'm not the kind of person who likes to inquire about other people's privacy, and I'm not the kind of person who whispers behind my friends."
"Don't think I'm bad, V, look, look at this—" Johnny pointed to a bullet that bounced on the ground, "This bullet is moving, but it's still, I don't know. I'm talking nonsense, but this is different. V, this has exceeded the scope of privacy. This is when you are seriously ill, and you know that your friend has a medicine to save you. It's very easy and it doesn't cost anything. There is not much loss of energy, but the person just looks at you like this... No, let me change my words, it is like you are a tramp, on the streets of Night City, hungry, no place to live, and you know someone Billionaire, at this time he only needs to buy you a meal to keep you alive, but he is sitting in a high-end restaurant not far away, drinking red wine, watching you struggling by the roadside."
Johnny walked up to me two or three steps, "It's not fair, V. He has not fulfilled his duty as a friend."
"Johnny, do you think people in the world must treat you well? You are a playboy, and there is no shortage of women in this life. You can call yourself the king of the world in bed, but in fact you are a poor man killed by Arasaka Boy. Yes, my friend may really be out of help. That's because I'm not good at others."
Johnny smoked distressedly, "Well, if that's the case, just wait for death."
"Yu Qi is boring there, so why don't you come and help me search the truth."
"Oh, Miss Vulmos, don't forget, I'm just the voice in your head. What I can see is no different from what you see. Strictly speaking, I can only provide advice, not help search for the truth."
"Useless waste, if I were really the homeless tramp who was about to starve to death, you would only be a paper bowl in my hand to beg for food."
"thank you."
The assailant held a shotgun and opened fire on the unarmed workers. I am truly angry at this killing of innocents, but this person is in madness after all. To some extent, it is really a good way to escape crime.
I have heard that among so many cyber mental illnesses in Night City, a considerable part of them were absorbed into the terrorist mobile team formed by the NCD after the incident. These people are often crazy because of excessive modification, and they also have perfection. The will to kill, so they become the best candidates for fighters. They will kill the target without hesitation. There is no mercy, no morality. Just like the Cedric in front of me, they raise their guns. Aim, then pull the trigger.
I hope Regina can really find a way to cure cyber mental illness. Living in the city of night is already very tired, and you have to beware of lunatic attacks at all times, which is enough.
It seems that at a certain time limit, the vortex of time and space strikes from the darkness of all quarters, bringing us back to the original time period.
To sum up, the attack was relatively simple.
Speaking of which, I am not a good detective~EbookFREE.me~, but I can simply infer the general situation. According to the scene and the call records found from the attacker, the prosthetic body of this Cedric is mainly from The black market goods that the scavenger got in his hands were not very stable. In addition to inhaling the chemical gases produced by biotechnology, he fell into a painful and confused state. At this time, he tried to obtain some nerve blockers, but was kicked by his contacts. Up. So he fell into complete madness.
Not very interesting, not very touching, to me, at best, it is one of the most common tragedies in Night City.
The greatest value of this event is to let me know the role of the skeleton pocket watch. It is indeed very powerful. I have a hunch: the way to find the truth in this world is in it.
How should I put it, then I can go to Evelyn Parker or Rogge for a copy of Anders Herman's information. At the same time, I also want to conduct a large-scale cleaning of the nearby scavengers. -Take revenge for the innocent dead.
Thinking about it carefully, time is still relatively short.
At this time I have to call my good friends to help.
"Jack, hey, it's me, listen, I'm a little busy here, can you help me run to the Liz Bar? Yes, yes, find Evelyn Parker, she should pay when she comes Now, secondly, I want to inquire about the chip. Yes, yes, you go to her first, I'm going to the next life."
"Hey, Takemura? That's the case. I have an annoying thing here. Can you come and do me a favor? I'm going to fight with a bunch of kidney-cutters. Well, let me prepare the weapons. I'm still busy with the work done by two o'clock in the afternoon."
Johnny sighed: Look, you look like a general now! So many good friends can do it for you.
This is very popular, dear Johnny.
