Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 525 138. Yori
"I never thought that I would see you in the police station's detention room."

Johnson, who was now the deputy chief, asked the police officers outside the detention room to leave, and he and Andy entered the detention room. Looking at the people in front of him who had revealed their true faces, he couldn't help but hold his forehead and said, "I once said that I didn't want to see you in the police station, but you actually gave me a surprise."

Johnson's eyes swept over Carl, Oliver, Jack, V, and finally landed on the young man who looked unfamiliar.

"Then, who is this person? Your team has a new member. How come I have never seen him before? Why haven't I even processed his identity?"

"My friend, I just arrived in Night City recently."

Carl said with a smile, and put his arm around Arasakase Nobu's shoulders: "It's time to give us the keys, Mr. Johnson. My friend has been carrying handcuffs all the way."

"If you want to break free, just use your monomolecular wire or your pistol to shoot."

Johnson stared at the handcuffs in Arasakase Nobuyuki's hands and said, "These are the lowest grade handcuffs, specially used to handcuff ordinary civilians. I haven't used electric shock handcuffs or explosive handcuffs on you. It seems that you are very cooperative."

"We are good citizens."

"Forget it. We just killed a bunch of good citizens from the Tiger Claw Gang not long ago, right? Now there's a big commotion on Japan Street, with a bunch of Tiger Claw Gang members fighting. You guys must have caused this, right?"

Mr. Johnson sighed: "If the terrorist squad hadn't been there and suppressed it immediately, who knows how long it would have lasted."

"I know. I called the police."

Carl nodded. "Those cyber psychopaths were very efficient. As soon as they heard there was a crazy psychopath, they went out immediately."

"And just now, you saw a group of Tiger Claws fighting with red eyes. It turned out that you were the one who called the police."

Johnson thought about it for a moment, and then realized: "I remember that there was a fire alarm around at that time, and a group of people had been evacuated in advance. Could that be the case?"

"I asked T-BUG to help."

"What about those crazy Tiger Claw gang?"

"We also let T-BUG invade. I assisted them. We messed up the nerves of almost seven members of the Tiger Claw Gang. They went crazy on the spot. As a result, they seemed to be regarded as traitors lurking in the group by other Tiger Claw Gang members, so they all started a melee."

When Karl talked about this, he himself was a little bit unbelievable:
"But I didn't do anything afterwards. I thought the seven of them could only delay for time until the Terrorist Squad arrived. With the Terrorist Squad's suppression, they could just disperse in peace. I didn't expect the Tiger Claw Gang to start a melee right away, and everyone really started to go crazy."

"The prosthetics they installed were already very heavy, and coupled with the environment inside, the companions who they thought they could trust suddenly attacked them. How could this not cause everyone to be frightened and cause a group of people to go crazy?"

Johnson took out a card with his identity information and swiped it in the verification gap of the handcuffs on Arasakase Nobuyuki's hands. With a soft dripping sound, the handcuffs in Arasakase Nobuyuki's hands fell off and were taken by Johnson.

Watching Johnson's movements and listening to him speak, Arasakase Nobuyuki thought about what he said: "I remember this is called emotional resonance? It's easy for people to resonate with other people's emotions."

"It seems that you know a lot about psychology."

Johnson stared at Arasakase Nobuyuki. The more he looked, the more familiar he felt that this newcomer in Carl's team looked. "I also did some research to kill time when I was a patrolman. A more accurate term would be herd mentality."

“It means that individuals are influenced by the behavior of the outside crowd, and their perception, judgment, and understanding are in line with public opinion or the behavior of the majority. Only a small number of people can maintain independence and not follow the crowd.”

Arasakaze Nobuo said: "In the past, all those who led the crowd had the ability to motivate others and guide the vast majority of people." "That's about right."

Johnson watched Arasakase Nobuyuki talking, but he, who was just interested in killing time out of boredom and had done some research, could hardly keep up.

This made him even weirder.

The new member of Carl's team is indeed a little different.

From the outside, he doesn't seem to be a physically fit person, but his conversation is very organized and sophisticated. It's clear that he has received a good education. How can I put it when I am with the rest of the team?
There is no sense of mismatch at all, on the contrary it feels very suitable?

Johnson recalled that when he was young, he accidentally played old-school games. The existence of this newcomer was like a bard in a medieval fantasy adventure story. He was together with the magic swordsman, warrior, assassin, archer, and ranged support mage, which just happened to form a good team.

"Anyway, in order to avoid being arrested again, come and apply for an identity card."

Johnson motioned for Andy to hand the item over, and then placed a screen that looked familiar to Carl in front of Arasakase Nobuyuki:

"Night City is a city that will always be tolerant of outsiders, but you also need a foundation to stand on. Since you just came from outside, just fill in your identity yourself. You can use your real name or a code name like V."

Obviously, Johnson used his authority to directly connect to the NCPD's internal subnet and had Arasakase Nobuyuki registered in the detention room.

If Arasakase Nobuyuki wanted to have a disguised identity, he could have countless ones, but when faced with the screen handed to him by Johnson, he still took it seriously.

Because of a sentence from Johnson, he felt a little touched.

Night City is a city that will always be tolerant of foreign things, but does it also need a foundation to stand on?
When Arasaka Nobuyuki left Arasaka and walked on the streets as if he had nowhere to go, he was also looking for his own foothold in the same way.

Whether he was rebelling against Arasaka in his youth or returning to the streets now, his identity is there.

It only took Arasakase Nobuyuki one minute to complete the form.

Name: Yuri (ヨリ)

Occupation: Street homeless

Age: 21
Nationality: Japan

"Yori?"

Johnson muttered the name, but it felt like he had heard it somewhere before.

He seemed to have heard of a name like this, but where was it?

Compared to Johnson who was still thinking, Andy, who was calm on the side, had a strange look in his eyes.

He looked at Yori and already knew his true identity.

This face, that's what it is.
