Please call me CyberGhost King

Chapter 23 There are so many people named V

"Ha, the priest doesn't live here, but we made an appointment to meet here."

Jack Wills smiled, this priest would not squat in the church every day.

The two entered the church laughing and joking, and met the priest in a confessional. He was a man about the same age as Mrs. Wells and was already bald.

"Hi, Father, how are you lately?"

Jack Wills treats everyone the same, as if we know each other very well and are good buddies.

Of course, he did know the priest very well, and the priest was an elder who took good care of him.

"Same old thing, Jack."

The priest answered Jack Wills with a smile, and then he looked at Ke Ling.

"Is this your new friend who needs to solve his identity problem?"

His gaze lingered on Ke Ling's corner for a moment, but he did not have any emotional fluctuations due to this.

The old man has been involved in the world for many years. He used to be the backbone and senior executive of the "Valentino Gang". Later, he changed his career and became a middleman. Who has he never seen?
  "That's right, Ke Ling, new friend, let's do it together."

Jack Wells replied that he had nothing to hide from the priest and that the priest would help him find work.

If they, the cyberdrifters, want to find work in Night City, most of them have to go through middlemen, because middlemen are a kind of guarantee.

Whether it is for the client who releases the task or the cyberdrifter who receives the task, the middleman is a guarantee that can help ensure his or her interests.

The client is afraid that the mercenaries will not work after taking the money, or their secrets will be exposed. The mercenaries are also afraid that the client will not pay them after the work is done, or even sell them directly.

With a reliable middleman, everyone can have more trust and less intrigue.

"Hello, Father."

Ke Ling said hello to the priest. He had a good impression of the middleman, an old-school man who was trying to maintain order in Heywood.

The priest's name is Sebastian Ibarra. In this era when young people are becoming more and more rebellious and pay less and less attention to tradition and honor, he still sticks to it.

"What kind of identity do you want?"

The priest nodded to Ke Ling, and then asked directly.

"Any identity is okay?"

Ke Ling asked curiously, can he still choose this identity? He thought that at most it was just a registered permanent residence.

"If you want to directly become the mayor of Night City, there's no way you can do that."

The priest smiled and shook his head. He was not that powerful.

"Just a normal identity, at least don't let the NCPD arrest me as soon as they scan it."

Ke Ling also smiled. The mayor of Night City was not an easy job, and he was not happy to be the one.

"No problem, what's the name of the new identity?"

The priest readily agreed. It was not difficult for him to give a black man of unknown origin an identity that could be scanned out.

In fact, there are many people in Night City who can handle this business, but most of them charge a fee. Jack, the boy, brought people to him just because he wanted to save money.

The priest didn't think there was anything wrong with this. Jack was the child he had grown up with. He was never married and had no children. Jack was like half of his son.

"Uh, let's call him Ke Ling, no, let's call him Devo Collins."

Ke Ling originally thought about changing his name but not his surname, but then he thought about it, why should he pretend to be cool if he doesn't have enough skills? It's better to put on a vest first.

It is still very important to wear a vest when going out. If someone comes looking for him in the future, they will scan it and it will be Devo Collins. Then he can directly say: "The person you are looking for is called Ke Ling. What does it have to do with me, Devo Collins?" "

"Very well, starting from tomorrow, you will be Mr. Devo Collins of Night City."

The priest wrote it down. He could completely understand Ke Ling's desire to register a false name. Not many people registered their real names.

"Then what should I call you from now on? Dai Wo? Or Ke Ling?"

Jack Wills smiled and added that he was the type who never changed his name or surname when he was in business. He didn't take a nickname when he was out and about, unlike others like V.

"Call me K? or L?D?"

Ke Ling smiled. Why does this single-letter name sound weird?

"Then according to what you say, shouldn't I be called J? Or W?"

Jack Wills was happy, and then he thought of a friend of his.

"I actually know a kid named V."

The priest spoke, which surprised Jack Wells. He didn't expect that the priest also knew V. Ke Ling didn't find it strange at all.

Street V already knows the priest, and has a good relationship with the priest, and is taken care of by the priest.

It's Jack Wills. What is this guy surprised about? Shouldn't he still know V at this time? Ke Ling was a little confused.

"Father? Do you know V?"

Jack Wells asked in surprise. As far as he knew, V and Heywood shouldn't have much interaction.

"Of course, she's a Heywood girl. I haven't introduced you to her yet."

The priest took it for granted. The V he was talking about was obviously the one Ke Ling had met in the Wild Wolf Bar before.

However, the V in Jack Wills's mouth seemed to be a little different, and a possibility emerged in Ke Ling's mind.

"Well, it seems we are not talking about the same person. I also know a girl named V, but she is not from Heywood."

Sure enough, Jack Wells shook his head. The V in his mouth was not the same person as Ke Ling and the priest.

Ke Ling understood that he had guessed correctly. The V that Jack Wells knew now could only be a V from a company dog ​​background.

V, a street girl who also hangs out in Heywood, doesn't know Jack Wills, even though their lives actually have many intersections.

As for Company V, who was born into a wealthy family but later fell into decline, although it should be difficult for him to interact with Jack Wills, they did know each other for a long time and had a pretty good relationship.

"There are actually two V's"

Ke Ling sighed in surprise, how blessed is this Night City? To be able to be served by three living kings of hell at the same time?
  "It seems that there are indeed many people who use letters as code names."

Jack Wills also lamented, but he and Ke Ling obviously didn't lament in the same direction.

"Yes, there are quite a few."

Ke Ling echoed, maybe he will meet someone named V again in the future.

After all, we already have V who was born as a company dog ​​and a street kid, so what else can we do without the third V who was born as a homeless person?

"Father, do you have any work recently? Money is a bit tight, I want to make some money to spend."

Jack Wills asked the priest. Although he heard that there was a person with the same name as his friend, Jack Wills did not pay too much attention.

There are so many people with the same name, not to mention just the same code name.
