Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past

Chapter 122 Mission
Red and blue raced in parallel with each other, spreading to the end of the infinitely distant pure black beyond the field of vision.

She just walked straight along this road, silently watching the glazed characters floating in the sky.

Maybe it's been a long time, or maybe it's just the blink of an eye.

Before she knew it, she came to a narrow black space.

"You came……"

Plain male voices sounded from all directions, but it didn't seem noisy.

"What about this month's salary?" She asked, imitating a similar tone.

"Hai Ji..." The male voice became helpless.

As the words fell, the entire black space turned into pure white.

Hai Ji squinted her eyes slightly, waiting for the dazzling light to dissipate slowly as usual.

"I didn't come to you to talk about these clichés..."

"I only like clichéd things, Samuel." Haiji opened her eyes and stared coldly at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her.

"...Forget it..." Samuel sighed, and didn't dwell too much on this topic, "Recently, a big person is coming to Night City, you should pay more attention..."

"What level?"

"Uh... almost at the same level as me."

"In the name of the Internet supervisor, or in my own name." Hai Ji glanced at the man's light blue pupils.

"In the name of Internet Supervisor, but you need to act personally..."

Hai Ji heard what he meant, "Strictly confidential?"

"Strictly confidential." Samuel thought for a while, and added, "Including your little follower, Mullin, you can't tell him about this."

"You have to give me a promotion, so that I can send him to some other remote place..." Haiji curled her lips with a cold smile, "Otherwise, even if it's me, it would be very difficult for me to completely escape his attention." Difficult things."

"Forget it, just the two of you together."

"So sloppy? It doesn't seem like a difficult task, so I won't participate..."

"Hai Ji..." Samuel rubbed the center of his brows, "I know you are not in a good mood because of your friend's death..."

"It's good that you know." Hai Ji nodded, not hiding the surging anger in her heart.

"The culprit is already dead, can you stop digging into the horns?"

"Boros is dead, but it doesn't mean that my anger will be extinguished..."

"So you want to kill them all?"

"No, his death has nothing to do with me..." Hai Ji shook her head, "I wouldn't be so stupid to launch an uncontrollable electronic virus."

Samuel restrained his smile and stared straight at her.

"I gave you permission, not for you to check these..."

He spoke word by word, seeming to be chewing the zero-degree ice between his lips and teeth.

"Okay, okay...don't worry, I won't participate in the game of you big shots..." Hai Ji shrugged and raised three fingers to the top of her head.

"Alas... now is a very good time... You'd better not mess around, or I won't care if you die one day." Seeing Haiji's attitude, Samuel softened his tone.

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing..." Samuel shook his head, "At least you shouldn't know."

As if seeing what Hai Ji was thinking, he added, "Even if you use all the authority at hand, you won't be able to find it...so don't waste time and focus on the tasks I entrusted to you ..."

"Oh." Hai Ji replied perfunctorily, obviously not listening.

"It's almost time, you can go back." Samuel didn't continue to say more, but just waved his hand.

As a result, the pure white space was dyed with twilight, and turned into a pitch black color again.

Hiji also closed her eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, there was already a translucent glass hatch in front of him.

She rubbed her eyes, reached out to push away the crescent-shaped glass layer, and slowly sat up straight.

"you're awake?"

A male voice said hello softly.

"Nonsense." Hai Ji just replied coldly, and took the warm coffee handed over by the man.

"Why is the boss looking for you again?" Mu Lin leaned his head closer, wishing to stick to her body.

"First of all, stay away from me," Hai Ji shook the coffee in her hand, and finally gave up the idea of ​​pouring it on top of someone's head, "Secondly, don't call him the boss...it sounds too weird."

"Finally, we have work to do."

"Is there work? What are you doing? Working overtime again? Is there any overtime pay?" Mu Lin seemed to have only heard the last sentence, and asked repeatedly.

A series of noise problems made her head buzzing, which was as disturbing as the chirping of summer cicadas.

"Shut up." Hai Ji frowned, and put the clean coffee cup on Mu Lin's head.

"Okay, okay..." Mu Lin nodded again and again, took off the porcelain cup on top of his head with a smile, and stroked his hair again, but he didn't feel any dampness.

"The coffee tastes good, but it doesn't mean you can be unscrupulous, understand?" Facing Mu Lin's confused gaze, Haiji's brows ached, and she had to explain.

"I see! Have you been promoted? You like giving orders more and more." Mu Lin remained stubborn, his mouth still broken.

"You better shut up." Hai Ji rolled her eyes helplessly, then turned and walked out of the room.

"By the way..." Mu Lin suppressed his giggles, and turned to hand a data chip to Hai Ji with a serious face, "Look at some of the information I have searched recently."

"That's about the same..." Hai Ji nodded and took the chip.

"Are you sure you got it right?" She pointed to the etched words on the chip, and said with some hesitation, "What does 'Ten Years Collection' mean on this?"

"I *!" Mu Lin was a little panicked, and before Haiji could react, he quickly snatched the chip back from her hand, "I took the wrong one..."

"It's fine if you have some personal hobbies. I don't need to tell you the truth about the distinction between public and private... Don't read these things when you're at work..." Hai Ji complained, took the second chip he handed over, and carefully confirmed it Then it was inserted into the interface behind the neck.

"How?" Mullin panted heavily, apparently still in shock.

"It's a bit repetitive with what I have here, but there are a few new additions in the details. As far as your ability is concerned, it's not bad." Haiji pulled out the chip and handed it back to Mullin.

"Before you came, I was one of the few masters!" Mu Lin puffed out his chest, looking very proud.

"How many people are there in total? There are only a handful of them." Hai Ji gave him a middle finger and walked to the elevator door.

"Our relationship... don't expose me..."

"Alas..." Hai Ji shook her head, and while Mu Lin was still imagining, she sneaked into the descending elevator silently.
