"Good evening, viewers of Night City! Do you miss me? I am Sieg Q, whom you haven't seen for a long time. I'm sorry for not seeing you for so many days. Regardless of whether you miss me or not, I miss you anyway. ”
"So many days have passed. I believe that each of you knows about the nuclear explosion that occurred on the outskirts of Night City a few nights ago. I believe that all major news media have reported the specific details. I will not waste it now. It’s time everyone, our guest today is Josh Kavorkian.”
"That's right, he is the host of "Business Talk". You are in luck tonight. Watching one show is equivalent to watching two shows. Come on, welcome to our show, Josh!"
Josh: "Thank you, Zig, I didn't expect us to be on the same stage as host today."
Sieg: "Isn't this because of the nuclear explosion? Oh my god, who was not surprised at that time? Not only me, but also other big shots on the TV station were scared to death. The program was stopped for several days. Now It’s really ridiculous when you think about it. I didn’t expect that our Chief CTO of Moore Technology would be killed by a wanted criminal whose company had a bounty on his head, and he would also give us Night City a big firework!”
Josh: "Yes, although both of them died in the nuclear explosion, after such an accident, Moore Technology's current stock price has also dropped by 23 percentage points... The current panic has spread to the entire financial industry. market, although Moore Technology claims that they retain Luo Yin’s data awareness, and Moore Technology’s related product research and development will not be affected in any way, but such a major event is not so easy to suppress..."
Sieg: "Yeah, who would have thought that when I heard that a wanted criminal with a sum of 100 million appeared in Night City, I even made a bet with my colleagues on how long that guy could live, but who could? Thinking about it, he also did something big and chose to cause trouble at the gate of Moore Technology. The colleagues sent by our radio station even earned half a month's salary there."
Josh: "Yes, according to the NCPD investigation afterwards, a total of 100 million was invested in that riot. This is a huge amount of wealth, and it can be regarded as a small splash in the financial market. Because of this incident , many people feel that the identity behind the wanted criminal is not simple, and it is very likely that it was done by a rival company of Moore Technology..."
Sieg: "Whatever, Moore Technology is finished now anyway. I hope they can wipe their own butts after this. Our wanted criminal... Hey, after talking for so long, this guy has too much money. What’s the name of Hua’s wanted criminal?”
Josh: "It seems to be called Mo Ying, a Chinese name."
Sieg: "Okay, let us thank Mr. Moying for the 100 million he distributed, which killed many innocent people. It is precisely because of his deeds that Moore Technology's stock price plummeted, causing our stockholders to suffer innocently. Some people think He is a hero, but what do you think?"
He pointed the microphone toward the audience, who shouted, "He's a devil!"
Sieg: "That's right, there are no superheroes in Night City. Friends, for such a devil, we have to be lucky that he became a handful of ashes under the nuclear bomb. This kind of brutal wanted criminal, all the children who are watching our show Don’t learn from it.”
Josh: "Yes, here, I also want to give a message to friends who pay attention to the financial industry: It is better to cut off the meat early than to go deep, and you should not regret it after suspending trading. The death of the current chief CTO, the company's Luo Yin series of flagship products , excellent prosthetic equipment such as Luo Yin-w whole body replacement bone, Luo Yin-b blood antibody treatment device and other excellent prosthetic equipment will most likely stop updating..."
Zieg: "Okay, okay, Josh, it's time for our commercial. Audiences, don't go away. We'll be right back after the commercial!"

Santo Domingo, Mission Marina.
Next to the small building of Lin's garbage disposal studio, there is a top floor of a residential building.
David was lying on the sofa, looking at the TV projection screen with a dull look. He put his hands together on his abdomen. His whole figure was like a machine that was missing lubricants, full of stagnation.
Gloria, wearing work clothes, walked out of the bedroom, walked through the hall with her bag, and noticed David's current situation.
Seeing her son's dejected look like "he got zero marks after a big exam", she also sighed silently in her heart. She looked at the kitchen of the house and saw that there were still a lot of ingredients there, so she relaxed a little. Said in a low voice:
"David, I have to go to the studio tonight to arrange the night shift work for the employees. If you are hungry, go to the kitchen to get something to eat. If you need anything, you can come and see me."
David nodded dullly and said casually: "I know, Mom."
Gloria walked to the door of the house, secretly turned her head and glanced at her son, and finally couldn't help but sigh.
Ever since that night, Lin Mo disappeared... David had been in such a depressed mood, which made her, a mother, very worried.
But this can't be blamed on David. After all, when the bad news of the nuclear explosion came that night, everyone in the team basically looked like the sky was falling.
Gloria could still vaguely remember the scene of everyone meeting on the second floor of the studio that night.
At that time, everyone in the lounge on the second floor had a gloomy look on their faces, even Rebecca and others who came over.
The girl with the twin tails was so lively and heartless in the past, but that night she seemed to be stunned and didn't say anything. The look on her face was like a volcano that was about to explode at the slightest touch, and she still had a pistol in her hand, as if she was going to die. Shooting will break out in an instant.
As for the others, it was no different. David looked like he had lost his soul, Jack looked gloomy, Lucy also lost her calm, smoking while looking at the moon, and Sasha was burying her head in tears...
Even she herself felt a burst of sadness in her heart, and the sadness from her heart almost made her shed tears.
Maybe she had shed tears, but she just didn't notice.
In the end, Kitagawa Hao, who arrived late, was naturally besieged by everyone.
The Japanese man said everything, but said nothing... The only content revealed was "Lin Mo is not dead", "the team is temporarily disbanded" and other news.
This kind of prevaricating explanation was naturally unacceptable to everyone, especially Rebecca. She grabbed Kitagawa Hiroshi's collar like a monkey, pointed a gun at him, and asked her to say it again.
However, although Kitagawa Hiroshi repeatedly emphasized that this was Lin Mo's arrangement and that the boy had personally confessed that "he will not die," Gloria was still reluctant to believe this statement.
After all, who can survive a nuclear explosion...
Perhaps, even the Japanese man was not willing to believe such ridiculous things.
Even though he was trying to convince himself, Gloria still saw that he was lacking in confidence.
That night's gathering naturally ended in nothingness, and everyone broke up unhappy.
But no matter what, the living still have to live.
Although the news that "Lin Mo is still alive" is not very credible, Gloria also understands that everyone is willing to try to believe this "lie".
Before meeting Lin Mo, these people were more or less trapped in the "lies" of "chasing their dreams", deceiving themselves that they would one day realize their dreams and running around for life all day long.
But with the arrival of Lin Mo, their dreams have become no longer unattainable. Everyone's dreams have fallen into reality, and they can reach out and touch them at any time.
Since they were once good at deceiving themselves, they are now willing to continue to deceive themselves for Lin Mo, believing that one day he will come back.

After walking out of the apartment, Gloria walked towards the elevator.
However, as soon as she turned a corner in the corridor, she was surprised to meet a strong man.
"Mr. Jack, why are you here?" Gloria looked at the big man in the corridor in surprise, and quickly realized:
"Are you here to find David?"
At this time, Jack was standing in the corridor, holding a heavy suitcase in one hand and an opaque cloth bag in the other, with a rather surprised expression.
"I didn't expect to meet you here, madam. Yes, I came to see David. Is he at home?" Jack asked.
Gloria glanced at the boxes and bags in Jack's hands curiously, but she didn't ask any more questions and replied: "Yes, he is watching TV at home...but he still has no energy."
Jack smiled, slightly raised the box in his hand, and said, "Don't worry, madam, with these two things here, I guarantee that David will definitely be able to cheer up after tonight."
These things... Gloria suppressed the doubts in her heart a little. Although she didn't know what was in the box or bag, she also believed that Jack would not harm David.
And if Jack doesn't want to say it face to face, he probably has his own reasons. When she comes back from working overtime, she will ask David.
"Then I won't disturb you. I have to go to the studio." Gloria smiled softly.
Jack nodded and said goodbye to Gloria with a smile.
