Li De held the gun tightly and looked around.

"This is not the place to talk, let's talk in the car."

"Well, why are you getting soaked when you have a car?"

Ling Luxian looked at Li De's coat, which still had some leaves from the bushes, and suddenly thought of something.

This old bastard must have been hiding in the bushes, observing this place. He didn't expect that he would be observing in vain because he was late.

Ling Luxian plucked a leaf from him and said, "Okay, you don't have to tell me, I guessed it. Are there any clothes in the car? Change your clothes first, don't catch a cold."

Li De didn't say much outside, and said briefly: "The car is on Stadium Street above, a black Thunder Merrimack."

Ling Luxian followed Li De to his car and got in first, sitting in the passenger seat.

When Li De saw that there were people around, he hid his gun and then got into the back of the car and changed his clothes.

Fortunately, Li De was wearing a leather coat, so not many places were wet. Only the chest part of his upper body was a little wet because the front of the coat was open.

Ling Luxian tilted the rearview mirror to one side so as not to pry into Li De's privacy.

Li De noticed this small detail and silently gave Ling Luxian a thumbs up.

"Why did you hide the gun so well? In Dog Town, it's normal to have a gun."

At this time, Li De had changed his clothes and said, "It's normal to have a gun in Dog Town, but if you hold a gun in your hand, it means you are ready for a fight.

If you don’t want to be shot on the street, it’s best to put a gun in your pocket.”

Ling Luxian nodded secretly. Dog Town was indeed different from Night City.

Although the people of Night City are simple and honest, Dogtown is even more talented.

If Night City is Gotham, then Dogtown is Arkham.

If you pull out a gun in Night City, passers-by will think you are a cyberpsycho and run away.

It’s different in Dogtown, where residents nip danger in the bud.

"Good suggestion, I'll keep it in mind. I didn't expect that such a low-key person like you would drive such a high-profile car. This car is considered a rare luxury car series in the manufacturer of Tingwei?"

Although Ford is not a low-end car company, as a national car dealer in the new America, it still serves the public.

Therefore, the main features of Tingwei's cars are that they are durable and inexpensive.

The cheaper models include the Colby and the Galena, while the more durable model is the Mackinaw.

Panam's "War Horse" and Claire's "Behemoth" are both modified versions of the Mackinaw model.

On the contrary, Reed's Merrimack is indeed rare.

Li De looked at his car and asked, "Is this car very high-profile?"

"..."

Li De asked this question as if a rich second-generation thought he was low-key enough just because he drove a Mercedes-Benz.

But I never thought that Mercedes-Benz is something that ordinary people cannot own.

The same applies to Li De. Ling Luxian almost didn't react. Don't look at Li De's shabby clothes now, he is actually the ace agent of the new United States.

What's wrong with driving a luxury car? Isn't that normal?

The only abnormal thing is that this is Dog Town, and Reed is still in a latent state.

"How many people in Night City can afford high-end cars? Besides, who would drive a Tingwei among those who drive high-end cars? Just tell me whether you are high-profile or not."

Li De subconsciously glanced at the steering wheel and said, "Now that you mention it, it seems a bit eye-catching.

I didn’t think about this when I was driving this car, I just felt that it was comfortable to drive. Otherwise, I would have changed the car.”

"Well, since you've been driving for so long, don't change the car, otherwise it will be more conspicuous."

Li De thought about it and said, "That's right."

“Ahem~” Li De cleared his throat and said, “Before I leave, I’d like to apologize to you first.

It's always a good idea to be cautious in everything. It makes me feel more at ease to use Mallorian to press against the opponent's waist, even if he is one of my own.

Just to be safe, don’t take it personally.”

Seeing how honest Li De was, he couldn't bring himself to say that Ling Luxian had deliberately left him alone for a while.

"Then why did you believe what I said when you saw the commemorative coins in my hand? Why didn't you continue to follow the process and check my identity?"

"You have already restrained me. If you want to kill me, there is no need to let me go."

Ling Luxian continued: "Aren't you afraid that I'm taking advantage of you?"

Li De replied: "Using me means that I am still valuable to be used. I will investigate it myself later. It is impossible for a person to never reveal his true colors.

Besides, I have nothing to lose. Most of my colleagues and friends are gone after the Unification War."

"Alas, what a twist of fate." Ling Luxian sighed.

Perhaps the only friends of Li De who are still alive are Alex, who opened a shop, and Song Zhaomei, who has now betrayed him.

Needless to say, Song Zhaomei is synonymous with being heartless and ungrateful, and she would sacrifice everything to survive.

Alex was a very loyal man, but because he was too loyal, so many of his comrades were killed.

She had no place to vent her anger, and the only person she could contact was Li De. She put all the blame on Li De in disguise, and now she hated Li De to death.

Therefore, Li De said that he had nothing to lose now.

As for patriotism? He was indeed patriotic when the new America did not abandon him seven years ago.

But now... Li De just needs the belief of "patriotism" to keep himself alive.

Seven years of questioning had left him scarred and allowing him to see through the true nature of the new America.

That's why Johnny Silverhand said Reed was like him.

It’s just that Johnny Silverhand saw through the essence of this and chose to break free.

Li De saw through this essence and chose to continue to sink.

In other words, apart from "patriotism", Li De no longer had any reason to live.

Reed is different from Johnny Silverhand. Johnny Silverhand was still young when he figured it out.

But Reed is old, and even if Miles loosens his leash, he will not resist the invisible leash.

Li De is pitiful. Now the only thing that can save him is death.

Died on the road defending the justice of the new America.

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Li De looked at Ling Luxian and asked, "You're not in our business, right?"

Li De had suffered enough, but Ling Luxian chose to play a joke on him: "Who said it wasn't? I just joined the industry yesterday. I was a mercenary before."

Li De shook his head helplessly, "I thought that anyone who encountered such a big scene would fail, but I didn't expect...

Oh, no more. I found out your information internally, and your background is very interesting.

He had almost no experience before coming to Night City, and was very secretive. But soon after coming to Night City, he became a popular mercenary.

How do you call it in your internal language? Cyberpunk?

What’s interesting is…he’s actually an agent of the CIA, and was just appointed last night.”
