Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 502 115. Slide
"Slider?"

Hearing this name, Jack repeated to himself, "I've never heard of this person."

"You will get to know him later. He is a traitor in our gang. He ran away to Dog Town to work on his own because he couldn't get along with us. He also kidnapped many of our people."

Placide said, and it was obvious that he was hiding something in his words.

If he can't get along with someone, he runs away to work alone and wants to get rid of that person. If that's all, then there's nothing strange about it. But if outsiders are involved, then it's a different story.

Has any gang ever let outsiders deal with a traitor?

This sounded like his gang was in trouble, and considering Jack's experience with the Valentino Gang, if this kind of thing really happened, the Valentino Gang would probably be disbanded.

The real reason is probably because the lone man has threatened the current Voodoo Gang, and the Voodoo Gang cannot be eliminated. Otherwise, there is no reason to let outsiders participate in dealing with traitors, not to mention that the outsiders involved are mercenaries hired for money.

As Jack guessed, Placide added a few more words: "He has almost established a new voodoo gang in Dog Town recently. This is a provocation. We originally planned to let him go, but now there is no reason to spare his life."

"If you don't spare his life, you can solve it yourself. Why are you bragging in front of us mercenaries?"

Probably because his real purpose this time was not to take on a job, Oliver kept complaining in the channel, but luckily he was originally playing the more energetic character of Pyrrha, so his true colors were not revealed.

Without noticing the silent sneer on Oliver's face, Placide continued, "We want you to go to Dogtown and get rid of Slide. I'll send you the address. Based on your team's experience, this job shouldn't be a difficult task for you."

"It's okay to go to Dogtown and kill one person."

Jack said, "But listen, there are other Voodoo Gang traitors around him. How many are there? Do you have any information?"

"I didn't invite you here to provide you with information."

Placide stared at Jack. "According to the information I've read, when you worked for other middlemen before, it seems that you didn't ask for any special information."

"Yeah, but that habit has changed since a stupid middleman sold us out."

Jack looked at Placide. "In order to prevent being sold out again, it's only natural that we need some intelligence."

Placide and Jack looked at each other. After staring at each other for a while, Placide took the initiative to look away: "Just this once, I will help you, but I hope you can do it well."

Just this once, I hope you can do your job well.

Because after this time, there won’t be a next time.

"Go sit inside."

Having said this, Placide left the window that overlooked Dogtown and walked towards the third floor, finally sitting down at a table with a computer.

"You sit down."

Hearing Placide's voice, Jack looked around and found that there were quite a few sofas next to the table, and most of the sofas were occupied by people. Judging from the black skin and tattoos on those people, they should be members of the Voodoo Gang.

This group of Voodoo Gang members seemed to be sitting on the sofa, watching Placide and Jack with boredom, but from the position where they were sitting and the weapons placed at their hands, it seemed as if they had surrounded Jack and the others and were ready to attack at any time.

"It seems there is another step to be on guard here."

With that in mind, Jack sat down across from Placide's desk. "Wait a minute."

Placide watched Jack sit down, rolled his eyes, and nodded slightly, as if he was very satisfied with Jack's obedience, and then he started operating on the computer.

In the quiet atmosphere around him, the sound of his fingers tapping on the computer keyboard could be heard, and just when Jack was about to ask him what he was doing, Placide suddenly stood up and stretched out a hand to grab Jack's hand on the table.

"what are you doing?"

Jack frowned and grabbed Placide's outstretched hand. Placide's action just now was obviously an attempt to pull out the data cable from Jack's wrist.

"I'm assigning work and passing you information."

Placide moved his wrist slightly, trying to break free from Jack's hand, but found that Jack's hand was like a pair of pliers, tightly holding his wrist, and he couldn't even move the slightest bit.

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes, but there was no sign of shock on his face. Placide said in a matter-of-fact tone: "Isn't this what you asked for?"

"Then there's no need to connect directly in."

Jack pulled out an access device and a small display screen from his pocket: "Use this thing, I can see it myself."

"Will you mercenaries still prepare this thing now?"

Placide looked at the access device and small display screen that Jack took out. Obviously, he did not expect Jack to prepare this, which made him a little hesitant for a moment.

His action just now was said to be transferring data, but in fact, he was preparing to input some easy-to-control viruses into Jack's control while transferring data. Those viruses did not have any special effects, that is, they monitored the whole process and could burn Jack's brain after he completed the task;
In the past, most of the "footcloth" mercenaries who took jobs from the Voodoo Gang were dealt with in this way. However, it was beyond Placide's expectations that he encountered a mercenary today who even had his own access device and a small display screen.

If I continue to insist that this guy named Mann in front of me access the data, he will probably get suspicious.
Placide grumbled to herself.

Is it because he has been betrayed once that he has become suspicious? He has also heard about the incident with the middleman Faraday. He is really useless. He leaves people with opportunities for revenge while doing things. He can't even handle the doorcloth properly, and now he makes a mere mercenary smarter.

Placide thought that he was tricked by Faraday, but after changing his mind, he decided not to use viruses and program invasion to get rid of Jack and the others.

"After completing their mission, they will come back anyway, and we can still get rid of them by just asking for cash."

Surrounded by the Voodoo Gang, a few mercenaries are not enough to cause any trouble.

And seeing as he carries this access device with him, it can also be used as a monitoring and eavesdropping tool, and it can be made to explode when necessary.
"I hope this is the last time you ask for this."

As if compromising again, Placide took the device and connected it to Jack's access device.

And it is this moment.

'OK, you did a good job. I have used your connection to find the Voodoo Gang's LAN connection port.'

T-BUG's voice sounded in the team channel.

The ones who schemed were never the ones from the Voodoo Gang.
