Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 439 52. Of course this is yours

"How does it feel to meet KK?"

Oriona sat in the passenger seat and complained about her partner, Kiley: "Look at how you acted just now. You were as cowardly as a coward without balls. If we met this guy somewhere else, you would probably kneel down before him."

"You're no better, Oriona."

While driving the car, Keeley still had a trace of fear on his face: "You usually scream like a mad dog, why are you so cowardly today? It's our first meeting, and you're just saying hello and being a good girl, right? It really makes me laugh."

Kilai's words made Oriona silent for a moment.

No one said anything to anyone, but in front of KK, both of them really behaved like cowards.

After a moment's hesitation, Oriona said, "It is KK after all."

"Yeah, KK."

Kilai pursed his lips, his eyes were small, and he usually wore a pair of sunglasses to cover up this flaw. Now his eyes were wide open: "KK, who was beaten down by his companions before he even had a chance to fight the Savage King, has become our guarantor today. It's really exaggerated to think about it, almost like he's crazy."

"Don't worry so much."

Oriona calmed down and said, "At least this time, he is one of ours."

"One of our own?"

Kilay glanced at Oriona. "Maybe."

"Maybe?"

Orionna felt that Kilai's gaze towards her seemed a little strange, and his words were also strange: "What do you mean by that?"

"It's okay, let's just work honestly."

Kilai drove the car forward: "Anyway, after this order, maybe you will be eligible to go to the next life."

"Next life"

When Kilai mentioned the mercenary holy land of the afterlife, Oriona subconsciously ignored Kilai's "you" which did not include her, as if it was particularly pointed at her, and said with a hint of anticipation: "I don't know where that place is. If we go there, maybe we can become big brothers and big sisters in the future."

Us?
Kilai listened to what Oriona said subconsciously, with some joy, as if she was happy for herself and him, but his heart gradually turned cold.

Kilai was Oriona's first mercenary companion in the city, but Oriona was not Kilai's first mercenary companion.

Trust, in the mercenary business, is a cheap word, just like companions. Only a little girl like Oriona, who is too credulous, looks mature but is actually very naive, would believe it.

Kiley kept many secrets from Oriana, and he knew everything about Oriana, such as her girlfriend in Military Technology. If it weren't for Oriana's outstanding abilities, complete utilization value and innocence, this partnership would not have lasted so long. Recently, Kiley's long-term middleman Cormac had vaguely hinted to Kiley that he was dissatisfied with Oriana's intention to leave his command, and Kiley happened to understand this dissatisfaction.

Maybe it will be this job, maybe it will be soon after, who can tell?

Afterlife.

Keeley looked at Oriona.

You have to be alive to enter the 'next life'.

Without noticing the vague glances from her trusted companions, Orionna was now very excited after accepting KK as her guarantor. For her, after fear, people always feel a sense of challenge, and this feeling makes her unable to stop. This may be the reason why she finally chose to become a mercenary among various ways to make money. Even KK can be her guarantor, so it is not impossible for her to enter the next life with Kilai. By then, can she also make a name for herself in the whole Night City like KK and his team? At that time, even that stupid old father will have to admit her ability.

If he knew that the compensation he had foolishly believed to be for military veterans was actually the mercenary money he had been remitting, I wonder if he would realize that he was wrong and no longer oppose becoming a mercenary to give his family a good life.

With such happy and exciting thoughts, Oriona and Kiley met their contact at the Sunset Motel in the badlands on the edge of the city.

He was an old man with a slender figure, wearing a red suit and a red top hat. His face was full of signs of transformation. The corners of his mouth were cracked to below his earlobes, revealing golden teeth. His right hand was a golden prosthetic. He smiled at the arrival of Oriona and Kilai, and his smile was so wide that his cheeks were wide open, revealing his exposed teeth, showing a somewhat scary smile.

"Oleona, welcome, Oriona."

Does this person know his own name?

Although she was frightened by the old man's scary face, Oriona remained calm. She looked at the old man and wondered when she became as famous as KK, who could be recognized by everyone when they met. But then she thought that Cormac's contact might have already known her information from Cormac, so it was not surprising.

"I am Esong, Esong-Breen."

The old man in the red suit introduced himself as the contact person, a name that should not need to be mentioned.

After saying his name, the old man in the red suit stared at Oriona closely, as if he wanted to see her reaction.

"Esson-Breen?"

Oriona was obviously unfamiliar with this name. She frowned and then nodded to Esong-Breen: "Oh, I know you."

"It seems you don't know this name."

Asson-Breen looked at Oriona's performance with a calm expression: "I thought you would know."

"Is this a famous name?"

Oriona was puzzled: "I can't possibly have heard of every name."

"Not very famous. He was just an insignificant figure on the streets of Night City thirty or forty years ago."

As Esson-Breen spoke, he took out a box placed on the seat next to him and pushed it to Oriona.

"Take it, it belongs to you."

"Is this what Cormac wants?"

Oriona watched as Esson Brian pushed over a box that was only thirty centimeters long and wide. She had not expected the whole process to be so easy.

She had thought this job would be the same as before, always accompanied by gunfights and danger, but it turned out to be just carrying a box? How difficult was that?

"Of course it's yours."

Asson-Breen stood up and said something that made Oriona and Kilai's expressions change drastically.

"He's also from the Terrorist Squad."
