Chapter 324 Good Luck, Little Ghost

"Wow~"

Listening to Rogge's words, Donton raised his hand and reached towards Rogge's left chest.

Looking at Donton's hand, Roger's eyes moved slightly and her lips pursed slightly, but she did not dodge after all.

Just like that, Donton's fingers gently touched her chest, but to her surprise, Donton did not touch her headlights wrapped in a low-cut dress, but gently touched her upper chest with his fingertips.

Meanwhile, Downton laughed.

"I can hear every tiny sound your heart makes. Even if your heart has a momentary arrhythmia, or if any of the cells in your body react in a way that is different from before, I will notice it.

This includes brief changes in the pupils, or differences in lung utilization between two breaths, etc., and is used to determine whether you are telling the truth.

And your reaction tells me that what you said is actually serious!
How come you're willing to give your next life to me so easily?
Or is it, as I guessed, that you actually have some trouble that you want me to help you solve?"

After saying that, Donton took his fingers away from Roger's chest, and then he inserted his fingers into the new wine that Claire brought and stirred it.

After letting the ice cubes in the glass start spinning, Donton picked up the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Looking at Donton drinking, Roger was slightly stunned, then smiled and shook his head.

“Well, I won’t ask where you got all these messed up abilities from.

Anyway, you are right. I do have a rather troublesome matter that needs your help.

But don't be in a hurry. I hope what you do does not conflict with your plan to become a legend in Night City.

I will give you my advance payment first, which means I will help you become a legend, and then I will ask you to help me complete that little thing..."

"Adam Hammer?"

Donton suddenly interrupted Roger.

When Roger heard the name from Donton, he was stunned, and then he couldn't help but take a breath.

"Adam Hammer hasn't appeared in nearly fifty years, and even I can only find some rumors that seem true or false.

To be honest, if the stories of Blackhand and his men were not still circulating, Adam Hammer would have become a legend, and few people would even believe that he really existed.

So, how did you guess what I was thinking?

Because I really want you to help me fish that bastard Adam Sledgehammer out of corporate cover!
As long as a new legendary figure appears in Night City who becomes famous and poses considerable threat to Arasaka, I believe that Adam Hammer will reappear!

After all, no one is more willing to be a company dog ​​than him!

His lifelong pursuit and pleasure is to kill one pretentious guy after another in a more brutal way.

And you, Donton, I think you are fully capable of becoming his next prey!
So, I don’t mind helping you with something big, but are you sure you’re willing to do me this small favor, which means a lot to me…”

"A small favor?"

Donton suddenly interrupted Rogge's words, and the look he gave Rogge became strange.

Seeing this, Roger immediately hugged Donton's shoulders and smiled.

"Okay, I admit it was no small favor, after all it was Adam Sledgehammer.

Fifty years ago, the degree of his prosthetics had reached 65%. As for now, I doubt if we can even find 5% of the original parts on his body.

In particular, during my occasional intelligence gathering, I discovered a thing called Cyborg, which is said to be a war machine built to cooperate with some special Sian Westin.

If I'm not mistaken, that thing is the new toy that Arasaka created for Adam Hammer.

Even though that bastard hasn't shown up in Night City in the past fifty years, there have been many traces of him in the wars in the Middle East!
To call this a minor favor is indeed an understatement on my part.

I……"

"You're wrong, Roger!"

Donton interrupted Roger again, grabbed Roger's wrist, and then pulled Roger up from his seat.

As he led Roger towards the door of the afterlife, Donton said with a sneer.

"I mean, you think Adam Sledgehammer is worthy of being my trouble?

Come on, old woman. Anything that can be destroyed with fists, or in other words, anything that can be completely destroyed by force, is not worthy of being a trouble in my eyes.

My trouble is a story that cannot be killed, a rumor that cannot be captured, a life that cannot be touched and an existence that cannot be defined.

As for Adam Sledgehammer, he's nothing, girl.

Come walk with me for a while, I'll take you to Arasaka Tower to have some fun.

When am I going to kill Adam Sledgehammer, you ask?
Why can't the answer be now, Roger!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Donton kicked open the door to the afterlife.

Seeing that his door had already flown out, Roger covered his chest in astonishment.

“It’s already open!”

"Haha, I hate the automatic door opening too slow, man!"

Donton responded with a loud laugh, then pulled Roger up into the air.

Roger hurriedly caught up with Donton, and while rushing towards a Mizutani Falcon on the side of the road, he shouted to Emeric who was guarding the gate.

"I'm fine, damn it, I'm going to go out for a while..."

Boom boom boom...buzz!!!

Mizutani Shun had been activated by Donton, and then he galloped out like a wild horse.

While Rogge quickly fastened his seat belt, he clutched everything he could grab, and watched as Downton crashed through two cars blocking the road and rushed straight towards the area where the Arasaka Tower was located.

"Damn it, are you sure you want to rush over now?"

She held the car door tightly and shouted to Downton.

Donton grinned at her with his teeth bared.

"Why not, we have to hurry, sister!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Donton drifted violently, threw himself from the side road onto the viaduct, and rushed towards the company square.

In the distance, in the direction of Taiping Island, more than a dozen hovercrafts were bombarding two buildings.

In the dog town opposite Taiping Island, more than 30 armed drones are fighting with the bastards wearing green cyber masks.

Night City is at war all the time. After the Middle East, this is the free land where all the companies in the world gather together to resolve disputes!
Especially now, after the end of the Unification War, Night City has become the only free area in the original territory of the United States that has not announced its return to the name of the new American government.

One can imagine how free this damn land can be.

Every person in this land is forced to have their own position and identity, and is forced to be exploited by more than one company until they eventually flee or join the war and die.

Even while Donton and Roger were driving, dozens of cars on the overpass facing them were accidentally caught in the gang war and became the victims.

Looking at the scene in the distance, Roger tried hard to control his nervousness and spoke to Donton as if to change the subject.

“Donton, since you consider yourself the king of the afterlife, I should at least let you know our situation in the afterlife.

Our bar is located in the southernmost part of Watson District, where the Tiger Claw Gang and the Whirlpool Gang fight the most fiercely. There are at least hundreds of bastards belonging to the above two gangs fighting here every day.

The chaos ahead should also be caused by them, but obviously, we are a step late, otherwise you might be able to kill a few people to practice. "

Having said that, Roger's eyes fell on Donton's fingers.

“Excuse me, you don’t look like you’ve killed too many people. Every part of your body is too tender.

The original skins can't hide how and how often they've been used, and every part of your body doesn't look like it's in conflict, unless you were modified to look like this now.

I don’t know which company’s new product this is, but it’s most likely a biotechnology company. Their hormones have made Animal Gang quite famous.

You see, this is how the city is. It seems that every gang has the right to act arrogantly, but they can only do the dirty work that the company dogs are unwilling to do.

By the way, they also serve as different exhibits for different companies. The Animal Gang displays biotechnology drugs, the Valentino Gang displays military technology weapons, and the Tiger Claw Gang displays Jianli Armament's cold weapons..."

Damn it!!!

A crisp sound suddenly interrupted Rogge's words, and their car spun and stopped next to a burning car.

At the same time, an overturned Thunder Canary.

David Martinez was sitting upside down in the car, looking at the woman on the ground in the distance with despair.

That woman was her mother, Gloria Martinez.

Just now, they encountered a gang attack on the overpass. The mother who was driving was shot and could no longer control the car, causing it to overturn and eventually fall to the ground.

He was trapped in the car and watched with his own eyes as the trauma team's Astra hovercraft landed on the viaduct and urgently rescued several high-level VIPs of the trauma team.

He and his mother do not have the financial resources to become any so-called members. His mother has done her best to support his studies, and now their family even has a hard time paying for the washing machine!
Just like that, the trauma team came and went, taking away only the so-called qualified people, leaving him and his mother here to die.

Although the Yeshi Group also has their own welfare medical institutions that can rush to the scene for rescue.

But everyone knows that the welfare medical care of the Yeshi Group is not equipped with a hovercraft at all, and they came slowly and perfunctorily!

As for now, David can only pray that his mother can hold on.

Or expect a miracle?
Damn it!!!

The harsh sound of grinding tires woke up David, who was gradually approaching coma. He was trapped in his seat by the seat belt, looking through the car window upside down at the car parked opposite him.

Click...

The car door was pushed open, and David saw a guy who looked like a big shot walking towards him from the car.

David was studying at Arasaka Academy, which was full of rich people and corporate dogs.

But David assured that the suit this guy he saw now was definitely more luxurious than the suits of all his classmates he had seen before!

As David was watching, the man slowly walked towards him, then gently patted the car door that trapped David and smiled.

"Wow, what a coincidence, kid."

"what?"

David was a little stunned after listening to the man's words, but before he could continue to be stunned, his car door was fiercely pulled open by the guy in the super luxurious suit!

Then, David's world turned upside down.

When David sat up on the ground in embarrassment, he saw the man in the luxurious suit continue to walk towards his mother who was lying in a pool of blood.

At the same time, David saw a woman in yellow retro punk outfit walking past him.

The woman paused for a moment when she passed by David, turned her head to glance at David, and then nodded to David.

"Good luck, kid."

After he finished speaking, Roger continued to walk towards Downton, asking as he walked.

"Your old friend?"

“No, I don’t know him, but that doesn’t matter.

Anyway, I want her to survive. I leave it to you!"

As Donton spoke, he patted Roger's shoulder heavily.

Rogge was slightly stunned, then nodded.

"Simple."

As soon as he finished speaking, Roger immediately took out a pneumatic injection and stabbed it hard into Gloria's heart.

While she was giving Gloria emergency treatment, Downton came to the stunned David and rubbed his head hard.

"Little ghost, when your mother gets better, go with her to the next life to find me.

Roger, give this kid some money and leave him your contact information!"

"no problem!"

Roger responded from a distance by raising his bloody hand.

Seeing this, Donton let go of David's head and turned to walk towards the car.

Looking at Downton's back, David suddenly came out of his daze. He quickly got up, pressed his forehead and shouted to Downton in a daze.

"May I have your name!"

"Me? Donton! What about you?"

"I'm David Martinez! Mr. Downton, I will definitely repay you!"

"Yes, I believe you will. Then come to find me in the next life, little ghost~"

Donton smiled and waved to David, then returned to the car, casually took out a lucky cigarette from the air, lit it against the car window and started smoking.

In the distance, David gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and rushed towards his mother.

By the time he reached his mother, Roger had already stopped his first aid.

Looking at the panicked young man in front of him with blood and sweat all over his head, Rogge chuckled and said to him.

"Is this your mother? She was unlucky. Her lungs and kidneys were blown out.

Damn, the power of today's weapons is simply not something that ordinary people can withstand, the power overflows too much!

And she doesn't have many prosthetic parts. It looks like your family is not having an easy time. Your mother's original organs can't withstand this kind of injury.

Anyway, I contacted my prosthetics doctor and he will be here in less than three minutes.
I have already paid the money, and I'll transfer another 10,000 yuan to you as a backup. After your mother recovers, I'll buy you two some decent clothes, and then you can come find us in your next life.

I am Rogge, and that is Donton. You will naturally know who we are when you go to the next life.

In order to prevent you from forgetting or not hearing clearly what I said, I edited the precautions and the location of the next life into a message and sent it to you. When you have recovered, be sure to read it carefully.

For now, good luck to you, kid."
