Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 58 36. Misty

After Carl and others left the hospital, they first went to Victor's clinic. After all, they were still a little worried about Araki.

A few hours later.

"These prosthetics are indeed the best on the market. Some are even internal models that the company does not sell publicly. What on earth did you do this time? How come Carl lost half of his arm and was fitted with something that doesn't even have a backdoor? Tsk tsk tsk, the skill of installing prosthetics is not simple."

The prosthetic doctor Victor removed the raised screen next to the operating table and marveled at Carl's hands now.

"Lao Wei, didn't you see the video that many people in the city have forwarded these two days?"

Jack pointed to the computer on Victor's desk and said, "If you search for mercenaries and ACPA, you will know what Carl encountered."

"ACPA, did you guys run into that thing?"

Victor adjusted the data and said, "You are lucky to come back alive."

"is not that right."

Oliver supported his waist with one hand and yawned: "I've been dreaming about gunshots these days."

"Would you like me to prescribe some tranquilizers for you?"

"Forget it. I think I'm almost used to it now."

During the chat with Oliver, Victor completed the final data debugging.

He put down the data board and looked at Carl: "Okay, you can get up now. I've checked it out. There's nothing wrong. You're in good health now."

"Thank you, Old Wei."

After Karl thanked him with a smile, he got off the operating table and invited Victor: "Would you like to come over to our place tonight to have a meal, watch a movie, and have a drink? Just consider it a celebration of our safe return."

"Tomorrow is fine. I have another patient later today and I guess I'll be busy all night."

Victor slid his chair and returned to his desk with his computer. "You guys celebrate on your own tonight."

"Old Wei, aren't you one of us?"

Jack said with a smile, but Victor waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'm old, I can't be as active as you young people. Go and have fun, don't stay up too late. You'd better come for another check-up tomorrow, in case there is any rejection reaction."

"Okay, then we'll bring Karl in for a checkup tomorrow, and pick you up, Old Wei, to our place for a bite to eat and a drink."

After they said goodbye to Victor, they left his clinic and went to the psychic house run by Jack's girlfriend Misty.

Jack opened the back door and greeted his girlfriend inside.

"How's business Misty?"

"There are still not many customers as before. Have you checked it out?"

Jack's girlfriend Misty was a blonde woman with smoky makeup. She was sitting at the counter bored, looking out at the street waiting for customers, before she turned around at Jack's voice.

"I checked it out, nothing's wrong."

Jack naturally walked to Misty's side, put one hand on the counter, and moved his face closer to Misty: "We are going to ask Lao Wei to go to Oliver's place for a gathering tomorrow. Do you want to come and sit with us?"

Jack and Misty had not been dating for long, but they had known each other since they were very young, so they could be considered childhood sweethearts, and their interactions were quite natural. However, Misty still rejected his invitation.

"You men should just have yourselves together. I don't want to have to carry you home drunk later."

Misty is a woman, so it is impossible for her to sleep directly in Oliver's house like Jack, Carl and Victor. She will definitely come back after sitting for a while, and Jack is worried about letting her come back alone, and he might have to get drunk to accompany Misty.

"How about we change our location?"

Oliver, who was listening to Misty's words, suggested: "Why don't we go to the Wild Wolf Bar and relax there?" He was halfway through his words when he felt his arm being pulled. He subconsciously looked to the left and found that Carl was looking at him with an expression of 'what are you talking about'.

'What's wrong? ’

Feeling a little puzzled, Oliver noticed Carl's glance towards Misty and suddenly remembered something.

'Oh no, I was stupid.'

Maybe it was because I didn't sleep well that my mind was not very clear. Oliver's suggestion just now overlooked one thing.

That would be to go to the Wild Wolf Bar, which might be an even worse suggestion for Misty because Mrs. Wells was there.

Mrs. Wells was not very satisfied with Misty as Jack's girlfriend. She liked Jack's previous girlfriend in the Valentino gang more. Therefore, the relationship between the two was a little awkward. If they met, she really didn't know what to say.

"Uh"

Oliver groaned a few times and ruffled his hair. "Just pretend I didn't say anything, Misty. I'm sorry."

"It's okay, they're just little things."

Although these were all trivial matters, Misty's eyes were a little dim. She really liked Jack, her childhood sweetheart, but love was always difficult to talk about in a family.

'A classic mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship.'

Looking at the embarrassed Oliver and Jack, who wanted to comfort his girlfriend but didn't know what to say, Carl sighed silently in his heart.

Misty is a good girl, which is something she will understand after a little contact. Carl is sincerely happy for Jack that he has such a good girlfriend, but on the other hand, Carl also respects Mrs. Wells. There are conflicts between Misty and Mrs. Wells, and he really doesn't know how to mediate them.

Even an outsider like him finds it difficult to watch. Jack has to work really hard.

However, this somewhat troubled atmosphere was broken by a new communication that Carl received.

'Whoever you are, I really thank you now.'

"Hey, who is it?"

Karl answered the call without even looking at it, and deliberately spoke loudly so that others could hear him. And just as he expected, the communication when he answered the phone made the other three look over.

"I have a job here that might interest you, KK."

This sound is
"Blanca?"

"Well, what's the matter? You can't recognize the phone and you can't hear the voice?"

"No, how could that be."

Karl always had a good attitude towards such generous employers: "Didn't I expect you to talk to me about the task in the tone of an intermediary?"

"The tone of the middleman. Are all middlemen like this? Forget it, Karl, do you know about the afterlife? I'll wait for you in the afterlife. Come over. I have some work to discuss with you in detail."

Carl turned on the speaker and several people heard the sound. When they heard the word "afterlife", Oliver and Jack's eyes lit up.

After life?

Is that the afterlife bar?

The afterlife bar where only outstanding mercenaries are eligible to enter, apart from clients and middlemen?!

At this point, the awkward atmosphere was completely gone.
