"Something else? Is this the main reason why you called us here today?" Jack's expression became serious, and he pondered for a while before speaking in a positive tone.
"That's right." Lin Mo nodded, and the smile on his lips did not change at all. It was filled with a sense of teasing and playfulness, just like the evil smile shown by a magician on stage when revealing the answer to a riddle.
"What the hell is that? Lin Mo, it's better for you to stop showing off. What I hate the most is those guys who keep their words to themselves. They don't do things easily at all!" Jack yelled, with a hint of coercion in his tone.
The majesty of candor.
Lin Mo looked at him quietly and suddenly laughed out loud for no reason, as if he had heard something interesting.
It is indeed quite interesting... It has been a long time since he became a "big shot", and Jack's behavior has become more and more like that of a "big shot".
Although it is difficult to see the "Jack the Kid" in the past anymore, that prodigal demeanor has been well hidden by him, and now he is replaced by "Jack the Big Shot", whose words and deeds are full of
majesty.
But Lin Mo didn't have any regrets about this. On the contrary, he felt very pleased.
With the dead like this, day and night, everything in this world is changing. The various deeds that have happened so far are destined that the development of this world will not develop to a tragic ending like the game plot.
Ever since he met Jack, Hiroshi Kitagawa, Lucy and others, the fate of the people around him has long been different because of him. This is inevitable.
At least everything is developing for the better... Lin Mo smiled silently in his heart.
Hearing his laughter, except for Jack who frowned slightly to express doubts, Kitagawa Hiroshi, Lucy and Sasha all stood silently, with six pairs of curious eyes staring straight at Lin Mo.
Looking at the gazes of the four people, Lin Mo still smiled lightly and said in an unhurried tone:
"Speaking of which, more than three months have passed unknowingly since I returned to Night City... 2077 will be here soon."
Jack nodded and couldn't stop tapping his fingers on his knees, thinking:
"Well, you are right. There are only a few months left before 2077, but does this have anything to do with the 'thing' you mentioned?"
Is it possible that 2077 is a year with some special meaning?
Or are they going to encounter some special event in 2077?
Just as Jack began to ponder Lin Mo's thoughts, Sasha on the side seemed to have thought of something and suddenly raised her hand, like a student rushing to answer a question in class.
"Lin Mo, do you want us to celebrate the Chinese New Year together?" Sasha put forward her own opinion, with a bright look on her face:
"I know that there is a festival in China called the Spring Festival. Just like Christmas, it is the most lively and joyful time every year. It is a joyful festival that must be spent with family and friends!"
Jack suddenly showed a look of understanding, while Lucy sitting beside her brightened up and blinked, full of expectation.
Only Kitagawa Hiroshi lowered his eyes, seemingly still thinking about whether Sasha's statement was correct.
The corners of Lin Mo's eyes twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but feel helpless at Sasha's imaginative insights.
How could she associate the Spring Festival from 2077?
"I...did I say something wrong?" Sensing the change in Lin Mo's expression, Sasha's expression became visibly lost, but she still looked into Lin Mo's eyes, as if hoping that she could guess this.
A boy's thoughts.
"...That's not wrong." Lin Mo pondered for a while before speaking, and at the same time sighed silently in his heart.
After all, Sasha couldn't see through his thoughts, but how could he not see through the other person's thoughts? He couldn't make the other girl even more depressed.
Speaking of which, in a while, his 17th birthday will arrive, and in one year, he will be 18 years old...
Let's see then...
Seeing that the topic had drifted to this topic, Lin Mo had no choice but to follow along and said:
"The Spring Festival is just one of the things I want to tell you, and it's not really serious...Forget it, let me tell the truth. Since you know the Spring Festival, do you still know some of the customs of the Spring Festival?"
Jack touched his chin and said uncertainly: "It is said that during the Spring Festival, you Chinese people often risk being arrested by setting off cannons on the streets and placing bombs in front of your homes. Is this true?"
If these things are true, you people over there are a little too wild... Jack complained in his heart, but did not dare to say these words.
"That's called firecrackers..." Lin Mo sighed.
It seems that in Jack's mind, it is already a common practice for Chinese people to release "bombs" during the Chinese New Year...
"I know, I know! In addition to setting off firecrackers, you also set off fireworks at night, lighting up the entire night sky!" Sasha quickly answered.
"In addition, there are customs such as giving money as a gift, sweeping dust, lighting fires to welcome the new year, etc..." Lucy added quietly.
"I bet you all have a good understanding of these things." Lin Mo said in surprise:
"But do you all know what these customs mean?"
"Who knows..." Jack waved his hand angrily: "And when you called us over, did you really want us to plan some activities for this so-called Spring Festival?"
"I guess what Mr. Lin wants to say is to get rid of the old and welcome the new?" At this time, Kitagawa Hao, who had been silent until now, suddenly said.
Lin Mo's eyes instantly fell on this Japanese man who had been silent until now, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Keep talking." He smiled at Kitagawa Hao.
After receiving Lin Mo's order, Beichuan Hao immediately cleared his throat and said clearly:
"The Spring Festival is, after all, the most important festival of the year in China. As far as I know, during this festival, people tend to clear away the bad things from the past in order to usher in the new year with brand new things.
..This is getting rid of the old and welcoming the new.”
"Is Mr. Lin's intention to use the Spring Festival to draw out the real plan? That is to completely deal with all the trivial matters and troubles before the Spring Festival in 2077... And these troublesome trivial matters that need to be dealt with are what you summoned
We are here to tell you the real plan!"
As Beichuan Hao slowly spoke, the look of surprise in Lin Mo's eyes became more intense. After the other party finished speaking his opinion, he could no longer hide the surprise on his face.
"You...are so right." Lin Mo said in a complicated tone.
He also didn't expect that his thoughts could be clearly seen by Kitagawa Hao at this moment.
As the first person in the team, this Japanese man has always been by his side loyally... He has finally grown into the eldest brother of the Tiger Claw Gang, but his attitude in front of him has never changed.
He has always been a conscientious subordinate and a counselor who is good at reading people's thoughts.
Just like the ministers around the emperor in the old days, they tried their best to figure out the emperor's holy will. At this time, they were able to express Lin Mo's thoughts clearly.
"So Lin Jun, what is your plan?" Kitagawa Hao asked seriously:
"No matter how bumpy the road you are going to take, with just one order from me, all four thousand members of the Tiger Claw Gang will follow you. Our power and energy are no longer what they used to be!"
"Look at what you said, what are you talking about?" Looking at Kitagawa Hao who was showing his loyalty, Jack had a funny smile on his lips.
Then, he turned his eyes to Lin Mo again and smiled proudly:
"If you really want to do something big, you can't leave me out. After all, I still have some say in the Valentino Gang, and I can summon some brothers to help you when the time comes."
"Besides... with your temperament, you chose to support me and Kitagawa Hiroshi and let us each develop our own power. Could it be that you had already planned for today's plan?"
Jack's face became slightly solemn, and his eyes looking at Lin Mo were full of exploration.
"It's time to tell us your plan."
After being together for so long, he naturally understood that once the boy in front of him made his own arrangements, he would definitely use all the resources and connections around him.
Just like the nuclear bomb that resounded in the suburbs of Night City, he did carry out his words and raised a "sun" at night.
Compared with the past, the resources and connections he has now are simply nothing. Jack really can't imagine what kind of big things Lin Mo will plan?
Does he really want to turn Night City upside down?
"Oh, what kind of complicated plan can there be?" Lin Mo smiled lightly, his eyes slowly scanning Jack, Kitagawa Hiroshi, Lucy and Sasha.
Under the gaze of everyone, he said softly:
"It's just like celebrating the Spring Festival. Let's set off some firecrackers and light some candles in the city, then get rid of the old and welcome the new, and celebrate a good year early..."
