Tang Ji changed into a jumper, a hood and a pair of LED masks that are now popular, and blended into the crowd, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

Surrounded by family members of victims whose relatives and friends died in the Red Sun incident, the atmosphere seemed very solemn, and the only noisy people were those TV reporters who were broadcasting live.

In Night City, don't expect many enthusiastic citizens who have been affected to express their condolences. Although the Red Sun incident shocked the people of Night City for a whole year, judging from the death toll alone, the dead are happy. The people of Nightside, who came here to express their views on the matter of death, surpassed the total number of victims of the Red Sun Incident in the thirteen months after the Red Sun Incident.

Therefore, the residents of Night City have not wiped themselves out for so many years, and the urban population is still growing positively, which is actually a very sci-fi thing.

Those media teams that were sent to broadcast Gao Gao were obviously fringe figures in each station, and they broadcast this kind of bad news that no one watched because they cooperated with the federal government to promote it.

These people obviously had a fire in their stomachs, but considering that this fucking is Night City, and those who miss the dead here are all honest Night City people, so these people are trying to restrain their dissatisfaction.

After all, no one wants to come in well, but leave with broken bones or a few bullet holes.

How difficult people in Yecheng are to be messed with, this incident has become a popular joke in the entire Federation, and the most famous one is a reckless hero like Tang Ji.
Although the statue created by laser engraving technology does not have the spirituality of the master, it can be used to restore a real person, and it can be almost perfectly reproduced.

In front of Tang Ji was an old couple. They leaned on each other and stood in front of the statue of Angelina. They put down a bunch of electronic flowers with some regrets, and seemed to be still immersed in the grief of losing their loved ones.

He never raised his head to look at the statue carefully, he didn't know what expression he should use to face it.

"Me? My reputation?" Mitch Shepard felt goosebumps, and his voice was a little sharp: "Why me? Besides, I'm just a small host of a local station, or an outdated host .”

"But that's the problem, Ms. Shepard." Dorbis spread his hands: "The FBAS Bureau and the entire federal government, as well as some forces that are not well known to outsiders, have spent a lot of money to let those land Sit down and talk with other beings, and explore the possibility of coexistence between the two through the special zone.”

"You are taking the lives of federal citizens to befriend those aliens!" Mitch felt that he was wasting time, and this conversation was completely unnecessary.

Even if it turned into a shootout scene because of the queue, it was more reasonable than this.

Mitch's hand hesitated for a few seconds on the contract folder, and finally raised it: "You won, let's start now."

"But talking to me will undoubtedly better achieve your goals and reshape your career." Dorbis continued: "Just talk to me, for you, it's just a waste of a few more minutes It's just time, I believe that the night time in Night City will not forget you so quickly."

The traces left by that night still remain in place, but the bloodstains have been cleaned up by time or forces interested in what happened that night.

"Ms. Shepard, don't be so anxious, we haven't reached that point yet." Dolbis smiled gently, pointing to the well-decorated office around: "Look here, and then look at me, you are obviously the same as other The residents who live in the special zone for compensatory terms are different, so the federal government specially sent me to receive you."

"I know that, as a very courageous host and on-site reporter, you have always been famous for being bold and daring to expose the truth. Presumably, this time, you also came with this purpose." Dolbis said Wan also took a look at Mitch's huge suitcases: "By the way, I really like your choice of photography supplies, Carl Zeiss fluorite series, fast zoom, sharp contrast, used to shoot superhuman battles It worked great."

"I hope you are a rational and emotional person. Although it sounds contradictory, it will be easier for us to talk about it." Dorbis continued: "First of all, I hope you understand that the establishment of a special zone is not for Selling out human interests."

"Ms. Shepard, I have to remind you that even if you successfully return to the TV station, there is no chance to deliver any news." Dorbis wagged his fingers and pulled Mitch's attention back: "But we hope to communicate with you." You cooperate, take over your reputation among the people, and pass some information to ordinary people in a limited and step-by-step manner.”

Those mortals may not feel it, but he feels it very clearly. A depressed and dull mood weighs on his heart like a dark cloud, making people even lose the anger to quarrel.

Tang Ji took a step forward in a daze, and placed flowers in front of the sculpture. Actually, Angelina didn't like this kind of thing very much.

The reason why the information about Tang Anran has been buried is thanks to the Prophet's money-making ability, and Mikkelsen's professional ability afterwards.

"Hey, buddy, there are still many people behind." The man behind reached out and patted Tang Ji on the shoulder, his tone a little impatient.

That is the emotional impact brought by Tang Ji, which comes from the emotional resonance of the rage of the seven original sins.

It's just that now they are all standing on another runway, and Tang Ji sucked out the tree of life a little annoyed. He didn't know whether he should believe in the prophet and Mikkelsen, or take another path.

In fact, he was indeed a lawyer before, Dolbys Sargent. The name was sewn on the left chest with hot golden silk thread, which echoed the pocket square of the triangular fold method, giving people an elegant and revealing authority a feeling of.

Although Dolbis said so, Mitch Shepard's attention was no longer here, and now she was full of the urge to return to Night City immediately and make big news.

Tang Ji doesn't have the habit of drinking tea or coffee, and neither does Angelina, but they both like to collect all kinds of weird-shaped cups.

"Don't get me wrong, you are just a part of the plan, and we have many other collaborators." Dolbis broke Mitch's fantasy: "But please don't underestimate your own influence, Night City is a very special place. place, we especially need your reputation in Night City."

Seeing Mitch Shepard's vigilant eyes, Dolbis smiled and took off his glasses while wiping them and said, "Ma'am, I know what you're thinking, working hard in a place like Night City, with It is completely understandable to be wary, and in order to dispel your worries, I can tell you now that no matter what kind of conversation we have, you can sign the contract and return to your hometown as you originally planned."

"No, I don't even need it." Mitch Shepard calmed down his shortness of breath from dragging too much luggage: "So, I need to sign that compensatory contract here?"

"Ms. Shepard, I am very glad that you are still willing to return to your hometown to live after your successful career." Dorbis Sargent first shook hands with Mitch after sitting down, and then asked: "Tea, or coffee?" ?”

Their lives are always tight, whether it's space, time or money, small apartments, busy jobs, and never enough paychecks.

Tang Ji stood on the edge of the roof, took out a tree of life from his arms and lit it, and looked down, only to find that the burned and deformed trash can had long since disappeared. Not a lot.

Mitch Shepard's return journey went smoothly. Roseville is now in a semi-blockade state. The civil affairs officer in charge of immigration procedures is a kind man who looks over fifty years old. He wears a suit and carries a valuable handmade watch. , Temperamentally, it feels a lot like a lawyer.

Mitch Shepard was stunned suddenly. She remembered the Battle of Paris, the nuclear bomb alarm that suddenly appeared, and the two red sun incidents in Night City, and the incident where superhumans went crazy after a coma in Demonstration City. Of course, And the humanitarian tragedy that happened in Sudan.
All of this resting on a superhuman conflict is obviously exaggerated, but if it's a confrontation between two civilizations, it makes perfect sense.

Obviously, the time spent queuing up in front of the statue to mourn the dead relatives and friends has exceeded his expectations.

The old couple didn't leave any words in the end, they just stood in front of the statue for a while, and then left quietly.

Mitch Shepard didn't say a word, she really hoped to capture some shocking scenes, like the ones like the Battle of Paris a year ago, which would make the world boil for a whole year.

And between these compactions, lies love and life.

"You are right. This is what we are doing. From the first day I was transferred to this position, they told me the duties of the position." Dorbis said calmly without being affected by the rhythm: " But for you, it's not really a conflict."

It's just that Tang Ji himself may not have realized this. When the man behind him urged Tang Ji to hurry up, Mikkelsen even laughed out loud and recorded the moment with his mobile phone camera.

Now is not the time for him to meet Tang Ji, he has not fully released the signal, but he is very relieved to see that Tang Ji is more mature than he imagined, he is not overwhelmed by anger, everything is going according to plan
Tang Ji walked to the place where everything happened by memory, the tall building he had chosen as the sniping point, and walked up to the rooftop according to the previous route.

Angelina likes the thin-waisted crystal cups and the mugs with bright colors and unique shapes, while Tang Ji prefers pure dark colors and thicker materials.

Perhaps in other places, Tang Ji can only affect emotions related to anger, but in Night City, his authority has undoubtedly been expanded.

A bouquet of flowers can only brighten the mood for a while, but with the money, two of her favorite horse mugs will make her feel happy every time she passes the cupboard.

Only Mikkelsen knew why, he just sat in an abandoned coffee shop not far away, randomly looking for a seat by the window, completely ignoring the dust on the seat and the window itself that had been smashed long ago.

The order here is orderly, and the people who came to mourn can be regarded as a model of Night City. There were no quarrels, and no one jumped in line. Even the media teams who were engaged in the live broadcast felt that today's event was particularly Night City.

Tang Ji smiled, but the smile was blocked by the mask, so he just nodded silently, and left quietly like the old couple before.

"What is that for?" Mitch Shepard asked, "Is it for the well-being of all mankind?"

"Maybe it's hard for you to accept it, but if I put it another way, for example, the establishment of a special zone is a decent compromise for the defeated side, wouldn't it be easier for you to accept?" Dorbis said, let Mitch His eyes widened: "The loser? What are you kidding? When are we?"

"Very well, it seems that I don't need to waste time here, is there?" Mitch Shepard picked up the contract folder and planned to open it.

But today, Tang Ji felt that sending flowers was more appropriate. They hadn't been so romantic for a long time, so long that Tang Ji couldn't even remember whether she really didn't like flowers or felt that flowers were not affordable.

Compared with the pioneers who have first-hand information, the Lazarus Group is like a sieve, and anyone can buy some information about Tang Ji from it.

"Actually, the facts are right in front of us. It's just that we're used to being superior, aren't we?" Dorbis leaned on his comfortable chair and explained, "But don't be too desperate. Thinking on the bright side, we're also It’s not that they don’t have the power to protect themselves, otherwise those outsiders wouldn’t sit down and talk, now let’s put the topic back on the SAR.”

Seeing what Mitch Shepard wanted to say, Dolbis shook his head and continued: "Our original intention is to avoid the scene you want to send and become a normal scene in the future world, but in the initial stage of contact between the two sides , I think some friction is normal, and I think you can understand, which is why the federal government is willing to come up with this kind of compensatory agreement."

His avatar is not the classic Mikkelsen, but a passerby who looks very popular. He didn't show up to talk to Tang Ji, but he guessed that Tang Ji would definitely come back to join in the fun.

Mitch was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Is it related to Tang Ji, right? You said before that we have the power to protect ourselves. This power of self-protection refers to Tang Ji, right?"

"Your observation skills are very keen, Ms. Shepard, but I can't reveal more information to you." Dorbis said with a smile: "Maybe you can find your own answer in Roseville."

"If you agree to cooperate, please sign this document, and we will give you the identity of an important NPC. This may increase a little security, but it may also be the opposite." Dorbis shrugged: "As The defeated, we can't ask for too much, can we?"

"And this." Dorbis handed Mitch a mobile phone: "We will keep in touch with you through it, and we will work together to complete the production of news."

"Of course, as a permanent resident, your compensatory financial aid will be credited into your account within three working days." Dolbis finally said: "If you unfortunately suffer from disability or death, you should respond to the corresponding pension , into your designated account, for details, please read the third page of the contract, risk concept, characteristics, classification, and corresponding compensation price."
