"Whether you regret it or not? What difference does it make to someone like me who has no escape route?"
Underneath the abandoned building, Lark leaned against the wall feebly, sitting on the muddy ground as if he was exhausted, raising his head and looking at the gray sky and muttering to himself.
Winter has arrived, and the temperature in this city is relatively low at night. Although it has not yet reached the level of snow, the bone-piercing cold wind howls in the evening seems to bleed out the soul of a person.
"You should tell him this in person. Are you telling me this to make yourself feel better?" Lin Mo crossed his arms and leaned on the wall next to him, moving leisurely and leisurely.
Faced with Li De's last advice, the red-haired lady didn't say anything in the end. She just looked like she was tired and prayed for Lin Mo and herself to go out for some fresh air and chat again.
Lin Mo had no objection to this, and was not worried that Li De would take the opportunity to escape when the two left. After all, under the influence of Si Anwei Stan, staying in the room was no different from staying downstairs.
The distance between the two places would only become a negligible "error" under his speed.
The lark shook his head and whispered:
"He is a very stubborn person. Talking too much will only make both of us uncomfortable. I did something very sorry for him in the past, so I can't embarrass him like this anymore."
"The grievances and resentments between you two seem to be as thick as a book. Tell me, what is the relationship between you two?" Lin Mo asked curiously.
Now that things have developed to this point, he has begun to suspect that this matter is probably related to the game dLC, otherwise it would not involve the new American President Miles and Spider Murphy.
As for whether Lark and Li De would be key figures in dLc, he was not sure, but he would not waste too much time by learning more about their situation.
"He is my senior in the New American CIA. You can regard him as my teacher. I used to be an unorganized cyber hacker. I was almost hunted down by the network supervisors when I committed a crime. It was he who brought me into the CIA. The CIA cleared my name and then helped me become a member of the CIA." Lark answered without any hesitation.
Now she and Li De are both prisoners of this boy. She does not have Li De's belief in sacrificing his life for the country at any time. Faced with Lin Mo's inquiry, she can only tell everything.
"Then, you did something that stabbed him in the back, so you're sorry for him?" Lin Mo asked funny.
The lark said with divergent eyes:
"Well, it was at the end of the Unification War 7 years ago. Arasaka and Arami reached a reconciliation, exchanged chips and hostages, and by the way, gave away some of their own people as a gift for peace. Li De was the intelligence agency of Night City at that time The person in charge, he is such a gift, and I am the one who gives this gift away.”
"So that's it, it's really a common sense political drama..." Lin Mo clicked his tongue in surprise:
"But I see that big black guy, he doesn't seem to mind this very much. Xinmei did this to you, and he is actually willing to be Xinmei's dog, and he still cares about your safety."
Thinking carefully about what Li De did, Lin Mo felt both emotional and sorry for this big black man.
After all, he is also one of the best agents of the CIA. There is absolutely no doubt about his ability. This kind of talent can be used anywhere, but he is just as stupid and loyal as Goro Takemura.
However, Takemura Goro is loyal to the Arasaka family, while Li De is loyal to the New American system. Listening to the tone of his conversation, he is not interested in New American President Miles.
The lark sighed:
"He is such a person. He would rather suffer himself than let his own people suffer, and he is loyal to the system. In addition to worrying about my personal safety, he should also be afraid that I will harm the interests of Xinmei."
"So, how are you going to convince me to keep him alive and try your best to protect him?" Lin Mo changed the topic and directly hit the lark's purpose.
Lark was slightly startled, pursed his lips and said, "You saw it..."
"Aren't your comments and remarks about him just trying to arouse my pity for him? To be honest, it doesn't matter to me whether he is dead or alive. What matters is his value to me, and Your value to me." Lin Mo smiled calmly, the smile was a bit fake and there was no emotion at all.
"What should be said, I have already said it just now. As for what consensus Miles and Spider Murphy have reached, and what the purpose of the two is, I really don't know." The lark lowered his head and gritted his teeth, searching as much as possible. conditions that can be given.
She really didn't want Li De to die like this, but now the conditions she could provide were only Miles' information and her own hacking ability.
For the neural matrix, she could even give herself away as a bargaining chip in exchange... But now that the thing that needed to be exchanged was Li De's life, she really didn't know how to convince Lin Mo.
"Then let me change the subject. What do you think of Li De's personal relationships in the CIA? What about in the White House?" Lin Mo asked.
The lark was slightly startled, thought for a while and replied:
"He is a good old man. Because he has outstanding abilities and has his own set of principles for doing things, many people in the bureau trust him. Moreover, he has also led newcomers and is the senior of many members. Although he has been here for the past 7 years, He doesn't go out to Night City, but his deeds are still being praised by many people."
"Since his ability is so outstanding, why is he still working as a field agent? He must have worked hard for so many years without any credit. He should be sitting in the office instead of 'wandering' outside." Lin Mo asked.
"Who knows, after all, in the political field, you can't climb up just by hard work and ability." Lark shrugged.
"Then are there any stains on his records in the CIA?" Lin Mo asked again.
"Stain?" Lark seemed to have heard a joke and suddenly laughed:
"If you ask Miles, then I will answer that she should have stepped down long ago, but if you say Li De... he is simply a saint. When you have seen a crisis, he does not choose to run away, but tries to protect his own side as much as possible. Personnel?"
"Li De is such a person. When the Unification War ended, he had many opportunities to escape, but in the end in order to rescue the remaining agents, he chose to stick to it until the end, until he was given away as a gift. Now he is lucky to be alive. ..The result is that it still doesn’t last long.”
Lin Mo crossed his arms and nodded, his smile becoming a little playful:
"Okay, I think I have thought it over clearly. His life can be saved for the time being."
The lark opened his eyes wide and couldn't believe that Lin Mo would agree to his request so easily.
She didn't seem to say anything... She just talked about Li De's situation in the bureau and how the other party wanted to spare his life.
"Are you serious?" Lark was a little surprised, and then couldn't help but whisper:
"Don't go back on your word midway. You saw it just now, right? It's absolutely impossible for Li De to betray Xinmei like me. If you want to use veritaserum, neurohypnosis and other techniques to make him spit out information, he will probably Seeking suicide midway.”
"I'm not interested in the intelligence information within the CIA. He's talking to me about this. He might as well tell me more gossip about the president. Besides, this value is not enough for me to keep him alive." Lin Mo Leng Smiling coldly:
"What I need is something he doesn't realize he has."
The value of an enemy does not solely depend on whether the opponent can be used by oneself.
Since Li De is loyal to Xinmei and has no flaws as a person, he can just use this to improve his future plans.
