Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Doesn’t Want to Become a Night City Legend

Chapter 35 The Street is So Quiet

Watson Quarter, North, Pershing Street.

There were hardly any Night City residents to be seen on the empty streets.

Because everyone knows that this is the territory of the Vortex Gang - the Death Dance Club, a bar run by lunatics.

You have to sacrifice something to get here, a hand, a foot, the stability of your nervous system, or your life.

And one day in 2076, the Dance of Death welcomed his guests.

"The streets are so quiet and there are no members of the Uzumaki Gang."

Lu Mingfei leaned against the stone pillar beside the street, admiring the surrounding scenery.

"They probably mobilized all their forces to the Death Dance Club. After all, they also know that this is the Cold War period before the war, and both sides are holding the launch button of the bomb, ready to explode at the touch of a button." Qi Wei sat in the car, habitually put her hand in front of her mouth, and then put it down belatedly.

She doesn't drink or smoke before work.

"But none of that matters."

The corners of Qiwei's mouth, oh, she doesn't have that kind of thing, it's the corners of her eyebrows that are raised.

"Teacher, are you in a good mood?"

Lu Mingfei calls Qi Wei "teacher", after all, she and Lucy have taught him a lot about hacking.

"Of course. Do you know how much money each of us can get for this mission?" Qi Wei counted with her hands, then rubbed two fingers together. "Most people who become mercenaries do this for this."

"Teacher, you too?"

"Of course not. Money is just the foundation, or rather, a necessary condition." Qiwei's eyes flashed.

"?"

"You don't seem to understand. Forget it, kid, leave it alone. We can talk about this when you're older."

"Compared to this—" She interrupted the conversation and patted the hood of the car, "Captain, the car is here."

"Ah."

Inside the car, David, who had crossed his arms, opened his eyes.

At the end of Lu Mingfei and Qi Wei's field of vision, a square-looking off-road vehicle had stopped outside two traffic lights. Inside it were the elites arranged by the Valentino Gang.

They were responsible for picking up and protecting the hostages after Lu Mingfei and others rescued them.

The mission of David, Lu Mingfei and others is limited to [entering the Death Dance Club, picking up the living, and leaving the Death Dance Club]

The combatants were not much different from before—David, Lu Mingfei, and Rebecca.

They have always been a minority meritocracy.

What was different from the past was that Qiwei bought some portable chips from the black market and asked David to directly insert the chips into the interface during combat.

If Qiwei's previous combat method was: David was attacked by hackers - he called Qiwei - Qiwei began to remotely interpret and crack it.

So now it is: David and Qiwei maintain a two-way link on a special channel, and put the "Qiwei brand processor" into David's brain. Even if the hacker blocks external access to the entire building, Qiwei can continue to help David deal with the virus.

They looked at each other and walked into the building.

【Unlock new location: Death Dance Club】

This bar, renovated from an abandoned factory, is a testament to your stellar mercenary credentials. Surviving the Dance of Death proves you're a crackpot. Besides members of the Whirlpool Gang, only the bravest mercenaries dare to carry out missions there—meaning, to take someone away or kill someone. I bet you wouldn't want to see so many red eyes in such a cramped, dark space.

Dimness, this is the biggest feature of the Dance of Death.

The dusty wind curtain easily reveals its factory predecessor, and when it is pulled open, a red halo is revealed on the inside.

The Dance of Death is like the embodiment of the spirit of the Uzumaki Gang. It is even darker here than the residential area of Kurama in Naruto's stomach. They don't light kerosene lamps, but use fluorescent materials to graffiti on the load-bearing columns and use them as lights.

The graffiti contained the exclusive image of the Uzumaki Gang, a white skeleton with tears of blood, which was both vulgar and scary. The Uzumaki Gang, wearing excessive amounts of prosthetics, were dancing in it, and since their faces had been transformed beyond recognition, it was impossible to tell whether they were happy or unhappy.

If it were normal, there would be many civilians here, but now
The moment Lu Mingfei and others entered the dance floor, almost all members focused their attention on them.

Those bloodshot eyes were hard to mistake unless Lu Mingfei had traveled to the Uchiha base. They just walked across the dance floor and through the crowd, bearing everyone's gazes, as if they didn't see anything.

"Why are you looking at us? Keep playing the music and keep dancing." Lu Mingfei couldn't help but move to the rhythm of the music for a while when passing by the dance floor. It was a pity that even the Vortex Gang was not dancing at the moment, so he shrugged helplessly and slid away with the spacewalk.

The interior of the Dance of Death is quite complicated. After all, it was formerly an abandoned factory, so there are many abandoned corridors and rooms. If you come to find someone normally, it will probably take some effort.

Lu Mingfei glanced at the camera on his head.

He once again followed the techniques taught to him by Lucy and Qiwei and began hacking at a speed that was almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

Countless numbers began to emerge in Lu Mingfei's mind. It was probably a 15*15 matrix. What was even more interesting was that the elements in this matrix were constantly jumping at a linear frequency sweep.

But for Lu Mingfei, this is no different from [Connect the Dots].

He closed his eyes and opened them again, pretending nothing had happened and walked to David's side.

"nailed it?"

"Ah."

While the two were whispering, members of the Whirlpool Gang had already gathered around them.

There are many people in this gang who are not afraid of death, and they don’t care even if they see David’s famous face.

The thin cyborg walked towards David with shaking red eyes, closing the distance between them without fear.

"What the hell do you do?"

"Mercenary, let's talk business. I know some of my brothers are imprisoned here. I'm here to pay for their redemption."

"Brothers? Hahaha! Are they those weaklings from the Valentino Gang? What? Is there no one left in the Valentino Gang? Why don't you come here in person?"

"I said, that's my friend. I don't know what Valentino Gang you're talking about."

The reason why mercenaries were hired for this mission was because the Valentino Gang couldn't bring themselves to lose face and they couldn't backstab their customers.

"Haha, come up then."

The Whirlpool Gang pointed in a certain direction, and Lu Mingfei went around the twists and turns in the building, getting closer and closer to the depths of the Dance of Death.

As the saying goes, a sheep falls into the tiger's mouth, and the deeper the mouth, the harder it is to pull out!

Why do you say that so weirdly?

Finally, following the lead of the Whirlpool Gang, they soon arrived at where the boss on the opposite side was working.

The moment he saw the other person's face, Lu Mingfei showed a look of understanding.

Although the Whirlpool Gang is crazy, they are surprisingly disciplined. The current leader of the Dance of Death is none other than Kem, whom Lu Mingfei knows.

"Let our people retreat."

Surprisingly, Kem's attitude was not as bad as imagined. He waved his hand and dismissed several of his companions.

Of course, the Whirlpool Gang did not leave the room, but guarded the door and watched David and his companions from behind.

"Well, let's get straight to the point. We are all well aware of the current situation."

Kem lowered his body and spoke slowly.

"How much more are you willing to pay?"

"The money has been paid."

"hehe."

Kem grinned.

“So I’m saying, pay whatever you want.”

David and Lu Mingfei looked at each other and understood the same thing.

Fucking Vortex Gang.
