Chapter 529 142. Strange people

"What's wrong, Carl?"

V originally wanted to turn around and chat with Karl, but found that Karl's attention was not focused here, so he followed his gaze and noticed the four mercenaries and Dexter Deshawn.

"Dexter DeShawn."

Seeing the four mercenary-looking people sitting down in front of Dexter, V was a little surprised: "Are you planning to reassign the job? Those four mercenaries look strange, I have never seen them before."

"You look strange to me?"

Hearing this, Jack, who originally turned away because his two companions turned to look, was very surprised: "V, you are the one who does the most work in our team. You have seen at least nine of the ten mercenaries in the next life. "Are you unfamiliar with all four of them?"

"That said, no matter how diligent V is in completing his tasks, he still can't be familiar with all the mercenaries in Night City. Night City is a big city with a population of seven million according to official records. Do you know this kind of city? Isn’t it normal for mercenaries to be mercenaries?”

Oliver said, but when he looked over, he frowned: "But then again, like the four newcomers, they obviously have good strength, but they have not been heard of by V, and we have not seen them either. , It’s a bit rare, and I don’t know where Dexter Deshawn found the new mercenary.”

In the mercenary business, there may be tens of thousands or even more people in this city of seven million. It is not surprising that there are mercenaries you don't know, but if you add another prerequisite, it is that they are good mercenaries. , then this number is very rare.

Most of the mercenaries in Night City are composed of foreign wanderers who can't survive, street boys who think they are special, and unemployed company dogs who have been fired from the company. These are the only ones who are not willing to live at the bottom, and are still... People with a fighting spirit, I will try to become a mercenary who may be sent away by a bullet at any time, but only one person who can survive to make a name and be found by the middlemen on the street will be qualified to make a name in the next life. Yes, that’s not an exaggeration.

In other words, the top mercenaries and everyone in the KK team who are frequent visitors in the next life are basically familiar to each other. Sometimes when doing tasks, if the two sides are facing each other, and the other party sees that they are from the KK team, they will often take the initiative to sell out. At the same time, he knew he was outmatched and chose to give up the mission.

In this situation where the top mercenaries are all acquaintances, it is very strange to think about four people with good skills suddenly appearing.

"Karl, how long did it take from when we first became famous to when we entered the next life?"

Oliver felt a little strange in his heart, but he still kept asking.

"About two to three weeks."

Karl replied: "But these four people should be a little stronger than us at that time."

"when?"

"When we faced off against Lieutenant James Norris."

"You have such ability. It seems that Dexter Deshawn has found a good group of people."

Perhaps because his curiosity was aroused by Carl's evaluation of his strength, Oliver couldn't help but look at the group of mercenaries a few more times, and then the more he looked at them, the more strange he felt.

Because of the posture, it is very strange.

Looking carefully, the sitting postures of the four people were too regular, and their expressions did not fluctuate much. Although in the noisy environment of the next life, Oliver could not clearly hear the conversation between the four people and Dexter Deshawn. , but the other party's calm and subtle voice could still occasionally reach Oliver's ears, which made him even more strange.

"You have to sit still and behave yourself. You didn't even hear a single rude and loud word. These newcomers are too well-behaved."

"Maybe they are being polite."

Karl turned his head and said, "Look, I'm not very polite."

"Your weird manners?"

Oliver also turned his head: "So, what do you think?"

"curious."

"Then we understand."

Jack sighed: "Your curiosity is the most inquiring Carl."

"I know."

Karl said, seemingly picking up his phone and playing with it.

"I'm already checking their identities."

Opening an account just out of curiosity during a meeting would have been something that would have been morally condemnable even though it did not directly violate the law in Karl's time. But in 2077.

That is of course illegal.

In this era, the most important thing is the confidentiality and privacy of identity. The Night City Information Protection Law will severely punish related behaviors. If Karl's situation is exposed, he will definitely lose his reputation as a good citizen of Night City.

So he used the identity of Mr. Jensen and went to the Information Management Department of the NCPD police station.

On the other side, Jason, who was busy in front of the computer, suddenly saw that his identity had logged into the Information Management Department, and he began to rummage through Night City personnel files. He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then

"This boy."

Noticing his login verification code, Jason sighed and chose not to care.

After all, he is the deputy director, so he still has the right to read it.

During Mr. Jensen's indulgence, Carl successfully completed the investigation of facial information, and also inquired about recent immigrants, and then he got the answer.

"Outlander."

Using this kind of words that more or less carry a sense of local Night City in the context, Carl, who is obviously not a local of Night City, spoke without any special ideas:

"I found the relevant information at the border management department. I just entered the country this morning."

"Do you have identity registration information?"

Hearing this very familiar time period in the morning, Yori, who had been silent, thought of something and asked.

"No, I filled in the name of wanderers, but according to the records, the wanderer tribe was disbanded a month ago."

"In other words, there is nothing to be found from the information. The information of wanderers is indeed the most difficult to obtain. In addition, the tribe has been disbanded, and the personnel have no way to verify it. Unless we find the personnel of that tribe, we have to make sure that the other party is not lying, otherwise there is no way to confirm the identities of these four people?"

Yori thought: "Is there a record of the action?"

"I checked the camera and there is no sign of approaching the encirclement point and the residence of the Tiger Claw Gang."

Carl said: "It may have nothing to do with that group of people, but"

"Your sweet tea is here."

"Thanks, Claire."

After smiling at Claire and watching Claire continue to serve French fries, Carl said: "But I don't know that a group of wanderers can have such fair skin, such well-behaved behavior, and no calluses on their hands from long-term driving."
