20 minutes later, a bar in the South District of Foreign Land.
"Okay! Cheers to the great victory in this step-by-step operation!"
"Cheers."xN
There were high-spirited tones, flat tones, perfunctory tones, and even some people didn't respond at all, which very intuitively showed the appearance of Marginal Runner Agency but the confusion.
"How could such a great victory come about? We didn't directly get back the client's belongings."
"Isn't this too dangerous? Who knows if there is a back-up to things like monsters suddenly disappearing? I've been editing a lot of monster-related videos recently. Monsters that suddenly disappear are quite annoying."
"But it usually doesn't last more than one episode, so we decide quickly."
"Forced the monster out and asked the consultant to confirm and explain the source and weakness. This is considered a complete victory! How about a quick victory? Can we really deal with the monster? Let's first see if the client plans to continue recruiting people. Anyway, It’s hard for us to deal with..."
"Who called for the support team? Mann, we're not cooperating with Rhode Island, are we?"
"The black wolf from Penguin Logistics must have been called by Omo, otherwise it would be really difficult to leave in the end. The monster is too conspicuous."
Looks similar but looks different, or is it a distinct personality?
Holding the wine glass, Ao silently stirred up the fire element, quietly and incompletely burning it in the wine glass.
At the same time, he observed his surroundings.
The short-haired woman sitting on the left side of David, with a cold expression, but who nodded to him in a friendly manner at the beginning, was Miss Lucy, another cyber hacker in the team and David's girlfriend.
Not to mention Rebecca on the right side of David, the tall and sturdy woman sitting next to Mann, who seemed to have a close relationship, was the team's second-in-command, Dorio.
Then there was Qi Wei, who was staying in a certain corner like herself. After taking off her mask, she looked surprisingly plain...
One of the joys of Omer's observation is to match the faces of these people with his originally vague understanding and make them distinct. Unfortunately, he had planned to watch as an observer, but the topic of the party inevitably came up.
"By the way Omer, it's really thanks to you this time. I will increase the proportion of your contribution later."
Compared with the smooth investigation on the other side, Omo, the hero of the near miss here, will naturally be patted on the shoulder several times by the big brother of the firm, and he will introduce the members of the firm one by one——
——Although these were all confirmed by Omer early on.
Edge Runner is a more traditional mercenary team-type firm. Omer once heard David say that the original team was called Cyberpunk with many members. It wanted to develop in the direction of a mercenary team, but later a certain After some unmentionable changes, a group of people arrived here.
Some concepts also changed, and finally there was a firm in the Gate District. The original name was Edgerunner, but after Mann saw a horse race, it was changed to 'Edge Runner'.
Counting the director of the office, the team currently only has six people in total.
It can be described as family-style nepotism.
I heard that there was a driver named Falco who David missed very much, but since he didn't come here either, it wouldn't be easy to curse him to his death, right?
Although death is not the only solution to time travel, David's statement is a bit preconceived.
From what Omer knew, the people in this mercenary team could be said to be the chosen ones.
Because generally those who travel through death travel through their souls, the healing effects like time and space retrieval are unique. What systems and plug-ins can be used can only be said to be due to cyber psychosis, or being trapped by some mental fraud organization.
These days, the systems that specifically deceive time travellers have been tailor-made by people, focusing on the preferential treatment and benefits for time travellers. Some people have even made several life systems look decent, tailor-made to create player-type cyber psychosis. So far, there have been cases every year The new den was destroyed, and it was almost jokingly called the police department's industry chain for making meritorious deeds.
Download the anti-fraud program as soon as possible.
So normally, in this situation where most of the team members have died, they are destined to have some soul-penetration elements. Looking at these guys now, they are all alive and kicking - it feels a bit like a gathering place for European emperors.
However, Omer was not a person who would be psychologically unbalanced due to good or bad luck, so he naturally exchanged pleasantries with these people, and was even toasted by everyone. Rebecca even took the opportunity to drink several drinks, but He showed off the fancy functions of his prosthetic arm in a drunken manner, and made a guest appearance as a stunt girl, which attracted Mann's laughter, David's happy laughter, and the cheering laughter of several others.
It's quite a warm yet subtle atmosphere.
Lively, but not particularly lively, even a bit complicated.
Omer, who had a "tremendous drinking capacity" that exceeded everyone's expectations, continued to watch their group without blushing or panting.
It can be seen that while they are indeed happy, they are also a little sad, as if they remembered something special at the same time.
This made Omer suddenly remember that Rebecca should have a brother who could correspond to a certain funny character that David had mentioned when he mentioned the past.
I don’t know if it matches...
At that time, Omer only thought that when such a character came to the Federation, he might go to the bureau first, but whether he really came or not, he couldn't ask more.
Now that I think about it, there might be some other reasons.
Obviously, this team seems to have other regrets besides a certain Falco who has not traveled through time. But he was not a member of the team, so he couldn't comment too much. He just welcomed the goodwill of the team until the end of the celebration.
At the end, Rebecca, who was sleeping soundly, was lying in Lucy's arms. Lucy was whispering something to David, and glanced at Omer from time to time. Omer pretended that he could not hear David's words to Lucy. 'Action debriefing'.
Mann and Dorio left the table midway and went somewhere unknown. Qiwei continued to sit in the corner playing with the terminal, seemingly raising a pet Digimon.
The atmosphere in this team is much more natural at this time, making the previous awkwardness seem like an illusion.
David soon noticed it, said goodbye to everyone, and asked: "Are you leaving? Then I will give you a ride."
Good one, give me a ride...
He spoke the language of Anmei District, but the translated semantics still made Omo silent for a moment. He looked at Lucy, who was waving gently towards him, and Rebecca, who had a snot-bubbled nose in her arms, and then looked at Chao. Qiwei, who nodded herself, also nodded slightly.
It is true that although Mann is the leader of the mercenary team.
But David is also a successor who enjoys support and support. Behind his actions are the eyes of his teammates, and he also represents their expectations.
In other words, at this moment he was sending himself off on their behalf.
After experiencing a pretty good cooperation, he had no reason to refuse such an overture.
"good."
So he walked out of this exotic bar box with David. Guests and employees with subhuman, bionic, and human characteristics walked on the same road, and then turned out of the crowd before the fork in the road.
"It must be quite uncomfortable for you, right?"
Walking out of the bar, facing the sunlight that should have been available at this point, David suddenly spoke and looked at Omer aside.
He saw the other party's nod.
There was also an answer that was in line with the other party's usual style: "But you have to get used to it. This is still ideal. You and Mann should have said a lot for me."
"Well, isn't this a matter of course?" David scratched his head. When he got along with Omo and Bize, he would always temporarily take off his mask as a team leader, showing the youth that a young man should have. Astringent, and as energetic as it should be, "And the main thing is that Mann asked everyone not to embarrass you, saying that you are a very special mercenary guy."
"Have you ever felt melancholy after you have relieved yourself of the burden of being a leader?"
It was a slightly dangerous question, and he would not think too much about the friendship between him and David.
"No, on the contrary, I breathed a long sigh of relief." David showed obvious melancholy at this moment, walking with Omer on the foreign streets, scanning the foreign scenery.
There was still the lingering smell of alcohol on his body, his throat twitched, his lips moved slightly, pursed slightly, and bit lightly.
These can prove that the other party is in some kind of sadness, reminding Omer of the sadness of the horse-eared monster.
But those were two different kinds of sorrow. At least at this moment, he knew that David was just worried.
And he doesn't need to pry, alcohol and his own feelings are enough to make the other party talkative.
"I used to feel that everything happened too suddenly, whether it was the matter of Mann and Dorio, or the matter of me supporting Cyberpunk..." It didn't matter that there were many pedestrians on the street where the two of them were walking. , David took the initiative to speak.
Without mentioning the story of the original world in more detail, he just mentioned the exhaustion, numbness, and heavy pressure he felt at that time when he was forced to support the organization.
Sometimes even sleeping requires a special dose of injection, and occasionally receiving encouragement from teammates, admiration from newcomers, and expectations from friends is such a tangled mixture of joy and sorrow.
There can be many reasons for a person to give up his rights, but for David, he likes the days when everyone is there and also likes the feeling of working under Mann. This is enough.
At the end of the story, the two of them were already standing at the station. Compared with the outer scenery of the foreign station, there were only a few more floating cars. The bigger difference was that there were more passengers who did not conceal their weapons.
Among these people, Omo, who was just carrying a briefcase, seemed quite ordinary.
It's a pity that the weapons in the briefcase were not used.
David, who was beside Omo, didn't notice this and was a little embarrassed: "Sorry, I said a lot of my own things."
"I'm used to observing, and I'm also keen on listening. If you have anything else you want to say in the future, feel free to come to me," Omer chuckled, "I won't tell anyone else."
This is no excuse. After all, in my early years of working part-time, I often listened to complaints from colleagues and even children who were dissatisfied with family matters.
They are all things that are inconvenient to publicize.
"Of course, you can also go to Bize. Despite his inconspicuous appearance, he has no problem keeping secrets from friends. It's just that if it were him, he would probably talk about it as a brother's father's love."
"...It does sound like what he said." Thinking of the overly vivid picture, even David was a little bit dumbfounded. When he looked at Omo for the answer, he still said solemnly: "Thank you."
"When I recommended you, I obviously hoped to help you, but it seems that you are helping me."
"Then if I say that there will be times when you need help in the future, will it make you feel at ease?"
"Is it really possible?" David felt that that kind of thing was quite far away. Although his mentality was somewhat rejuvenated, his experience was still there, and he could see that with Omo's ability, he might soon leave himself and others behind. behind.
"There will always be, and the negative energy horse-eared monster I saw this time has been enough to help me. I am very interested. I need more information for this. Please help me pay attention."
After saying this, a sudden buzzing sound came from above.
Both of them looked up at the same time and saw the high-altitude tram that could attract passengers on the aperture to board.
"Of course it's okay to pay attention to the intelligence. If there is a follow-up commission, Mann will definitely come to you." David finished these words at a very fast speed and patted Omer's shoulder. "Get in the car. I want you." If you want to go back to the surface, you have to get to the station quickly, otherwise the next train will take half an hour."
The edge runner obviously had some business in a foreign land and did not propose a 'special car' to send him back, but why did Omo ever plan to go home directly?
But these people didn't ask at all, so even if he realized that the other party was distracted, he didn't say anything and just waved to the stage.
He went up to the stage and took off into the air, paid for it, opened the terminal, and opened the communication that had been interrupted for half an hour.
Moon Ringed Snake: [Now that you have some free time, are you still on Hongduo Street, North District? 】
Lunar Snake shared the order number.
Penguin Logistics: [Yes]
The other person shares their location coordinates with you.
[The target is still being hunted by the police]
Moon Krait: [Pay attention in real time, I will arrive within twenty minutes]
【Eh? Do you still want to watch? 】
The tone sounded like a different person's response, but as a company account, this was special and not worth paying attention to.
I can be discharged from the hospital today, maybe, maybe not...
But the injury obviously needs to be healed
