To determine whether a person is crazy requires a rigorous judgment process.
Judy is a professional and she shouldn't have been so hasty. But Peacock's condition is so obvious that a person can see his problem.
How could a person who was fine just now suddenly go crazy?
This situation seems very metaphysical, but it is still possible. After all, so many strange things happened just now, and it is entirely possible that the peacock could not bear it and lost control.
As for why she and Sandra were not affected, Judy has no time to study it now.
She was having a fierce ideological struggle because she also wanted to save the benefactor who had just beaten away the black monster.
Patting Sandra's hand to express comfort, Judy pushed the confused bald girl away.
The peacock had been confronting the non-existent person, so Judy easily approached the peacock from behind.
As soon as she approached this peer, Judy reached out with both hands and hugged the other person's waist. Because of her height, she had to stand on tiptoes.
"Command Seal! Miwu!"
After gritting her teeth and reciting this introductory sentence with a serious tendency to be cute, Judy gave a "pop" and gently kissed the peacock's ear.
The moment the lips touched the peacock, the peacock, who was trapped in his own world, felt something.
It was like a breeze blew by, and all the figures surrounding him disappeared.
At the next moment, the surrounding fog lifted up like a curtain, and a small creature came to the peacock with steps that it did not recognize.
"Are you a cat?"
After staring at the delicate elf-like creature for a long time, Peacock finally found the name of this creature from his memory.
That damn black hole not only sucked away his extreme emotions, but also disappeared a lot of common sense in the peacock's head, which is why his reaction was so slow.
Regarding the stupid performance of the human being in front of him, this Siamese cat with a white body and a light blue back showed a disgusted expression of "I don't play with fools."
It swayed its erect tail slightly, looking at this fool who didn't even know the cat without blinking.
"Oh, what beautiful eyes!"
As soon as he saw the pair of cat eyes, Peacock was immediately attracted.
He knew that cats' eyes are blue, green and amber, but he didn't know until today that there are actually cats with colorful eye colors in the world.
Looking at the pair of gem-like cat eyes, the peacock couldn't help but squat down and wanted to touch the cat's head.
This rude move immediately caused a backlash: the fairy cat with colorful eyes raised its paw and slapped the peacock on the ear with lightning speed.
It was this shot that brought the peacock from illusion back to reality.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself lying on his back on the ground. The green-haired girl was pressing hard on his heart, and the bald girl was crying loudly.
"Wake up! He's awake!"
As soon as the peacock opened its eyes, the eldest lady immediately burst into laughter and screamed with excitement. The green-haired girl also stopped moving and let out a sigh of relief.
"I'm so tired, I really want to sleep..."
Noticing that the world had returned to normal, Peacock's ever-haunted heart finally let go.
As soon as his nerves relaxed, overwhelming weariness covered him, and he fell into a deep sleep.
Three days later, in the early morning, the peacock sat under a street lamp and waited for someone.
This place is not far from the Wall of Sighs, where he met Abao on the day he entered the city.
"Time flies so fast!"
Thinking back on this month's experience, Peacock was very emotional.
A month ago, Peacock and Abao made an agreement that as long as they were alive, they must meet here on time, and Peacock came to keep this appointment.
Three days ago, Peacock went to the Ritz Bar to inquire about Rayfield Dorset.
As a result, he unintentionally got a glimpse of a secret: the doctor he killed in the scavenger's lair was not dead!
In order to eliminate this hidden danger that wanted to seek revenge on himself, Peacock followed the doctor to a nearby apartment.
There he killed the doctor, saved Sandra and a girl named Judy, and fought a disgusting creature to do so.
After beating the thing away, he fell into a coma. When he woke up again, it was already the next day.
"At that time, you suffered from acute mental disorder due to severe stimulation, which was accompanied by a brief respiratory arrest.
In order to protect your brain from being burned out, I sedated you and then performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation."
This was the explanation given by the green-haired peacock when he came to thank Judy.
Shortly after the peacock fell into a deep sleep, the armed guards of the Dorset family swarmed over, and then Evelyn hurriedly arrived with a large number of Mox fighting girls.
Two groups of people bumped into each other downstairs, and they regarded each other as enemies for a time. So the situation was tense and the atmosphere was tense.
This was how Sandra was snatched away by her bodyguards. As for Peacock, he lay at Judy's house for another two hours.
When she saw the peacock, Miss Evelyn Parker strongly suggested throwing the man out to feed the dogs. Fortunately, Jack arrived in time and saved the peacock's life.
After learning about this experience from Judy, Peacock finally knew how Jack found him.
The bald girl probably contacted Wakako, and then found Peacock's best friend through an intermediary.
After a good night's sleep, Peacock, who woke up naturally, found that he had done nothing, but Jack, who was keeping watch at night, had dark eyes and looked depressed.
"With so many people dead this time, will there be any trouble?"
When explaining the ins and outs of the matter to Jack, Peacock was worried for a while.
"Peacock, didn't about 20 people die?
Don’t worry, there won’t be any follow-up to this small case, and the police won’t care about it.”
Probably because he had seen this kind of thing too many times, Jack looked indifferent. Peacock believed in Jack's judgment, but he couldn't feel at ease.
Whether it was the terrifying black monster or the strange state he fell into, it all made Peacock worried.
Yesterday afternoon, the impact of this incident finally affected Peacock.
In just one week, the eldest daughter of the Dorset family suffered two accidents.
Although the mastermind of the first kidnapping has not yet been found, there are traces of the second assassination.
After Sandra identified the commander of the operation, things became much simpler.
The Dorsett family's investigators traced the conductor's movements back and soon traced them to the Ritz Bar.
After learning the news, Rayfield Dorset made the bravest decision in his life with unprecedented decisiveness - the playboy committed suicide by swallowing a gun.
Immediately after Renfield's death, Bertelsmann called off the assassination attempt on another of Sandra's cousins.
As a result, Peacock lost two bounties. As for the Night City yellow card promised by the other party, it was naturally also lost.
Unlike that bald girl, Mr. Bertelsmann-Dorsett is not the kind of person who will talk to you emotionally.
He quickly cut off all contact with the little mercenary, and did not even show any sign of Sandra being rescued for the second time.
Looking back on his harvest this month, Peacock felt very ashamed.
There is almost no progress on his side, so he hopes that Abao can bring good news.
One minute before 5 o'clock, Ah Bao showed up on time.
Compared with a month ago, Ah Bao had more injuries, but his spirit was obviously much better.
In the following time, it was almost all Abang who was talking and Peacock was listening.
Ah Bao said that he joined a gang in Taipingzhou and has now become a small leader.
Abao also said that he had learned that there was an underground black market for human beings in the Westbrook area, and that the slave-catching teams would throw the captured people to the black market for sale.
"Peacock, we have to make money, make enough money.
With the strength of the two of us, it is impossible to go against the people in this entire chain of interests, but we can spend money to buy them out.
I have asked about the approximate price, and they said that the price for an adult man on the black market is usually 20,000 yuan. If you are old, weak, women and children, you can get a discount."
"Twenty thousand yuan each..."
Listening to this number, Peacock suddenly had mixed feelings.
Twenty thousand yuan is almost the income of an ordinary person without eating or drinking for 10 years. The asking price is certainly high, but it is not high.
In some high-end restaurants in Night City, the price of an all-natural steak starts at 400 yuan. If you calculate it this way, the price is really reasonable.
"Ah Bao, if you want to deal with people, you will definitely have to spend money.
This is what I saved this month, you can use it first, I will work hard to make money."
As he said this, Peacock transferred all 2,840 yuan in his account to Abao.
This is not all his money, he also left 2.4 yuan for himself. In this way, he will not be hungry today, and this is enough.
Like Peacock, Ah Bao also used the most outdated bracelet. Peacock also guessed from this that his brother would not have much money.
Looking at the numbers popping up on the virtual screen, the corner of A Bao's mouth twitched slightly.
In order to gain a foothold in Night City, he has tried his best. Just look at the new injuries on his body to see how hard he worked.
But even with such hard work, he could only save less than 800 yuan.
Abao finally walked away angrily, feeling resentful about losing to Peacock again.
Ah Bao has always been so awkward. Peacock doesn't care about this. At this moment, he is more concerned about their financial problems.
This month he and Abao have saved almost 4,000 yuan. If they keep this pace, they will be able to collect the ransom of the first clan member in 5 months.
Considering that they are still familiar with Night City, they will definitely be able to save money faster in the future, so this cycle can definitely be shortened.
After coming to this conclusion, Peacock was in a good mood. Although his pocket was now deflated again, he was no longer anxious.
"If you have any difficulty, ask for Jack!"
Just when Peacock was about to ask Jack if he was alive, Jack called him.
Hearing the mysterious tone of the Spaniard, Peacock knew that there was business, so he happily went to the meeting place.
Because this time it was no longer a matter of haste, Jack asked Peacock to meet him at the divination house owned by his girlfriend Misty.
When Peacock came to this small mysterious shop called "Misty's Secret", Jack was whispering with the boss Ni, while Wei was studying Tarot cards.
"Peacock! Are you here? Sit down quickly. How about it? How do you feel today? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
When she saw the peacock, Misty immediately greeted her warmly.
This well-spoken girl is both a fortune teller and a professional nurse.
The clinic she works in is in the basement below the fortune-telling house. Although it is a private clinic, it has been unanimously approved by Jack and Wei.
After pulling the sleeping peacock back, Jack asked Dr. Victor from that clinic to examine the peacock.
Like Jack, Misty is also a warm-hearted person. She also participated yesterday, so she was more concerned about the current situation of the peacock.
"I'm totally fine, Misty, thank you so much."
After some pleasantries, Secreti let the three grown men into the back room.
She knew they were going to have a small meeting, and her store was the most suitable place.
"Wei, Peacock, you won't believe it, guess who I just went to see?"
As soon as he closed the door, Jack couldn't wait to show off.
"Hey! Who can make you so happy? Is it because your green card has been issued?"
Seeing Jack so excited, Wei smiled and joked, and Peacock also smiled.
Both he and Wei knew that Jack had three major wishes. The first was to get his mother a Night City green card so that she could enjoy her old age in peace.
As for the second one, of course it is to marry Misty. Jack is still working hard on this matter, and it is progressing more smoothly.
Seeing that these two guys could keep their composure so well, Jack couldn't hold it in anymore, so he told the answer himself.
"Early this morning, I went to see Dexter Deshawn. He said he had a big deal and wanted to cooperate with us."
"Who is Dexter?"
When the name was mentioned, Jack looked proud, but Peacock looked confused.
"Dexter Deshawn, the most popular mercenary middleman in Night City. He has maintained a personal box at the Afterlife Bar for five consecutive years.
It is said that no disturbance in the Night City can escape his ears and eyes. As long as you can cooperate with him, you will definitely be able to prosper.
But in my opinion, he's just a fat, stupid rapper, and he's a has-been."
Not only did Wei's explanation fail to make Peacock understand, but it also raised more questions. So he looked at Jack, hoping that he could explain it in more detail.
"Peacock, don't listen to his nonsense.
To Vee, Dexter is nothing more than that. But to most people, Dexter is a legend.
Peacock, after this incident is over, I will take you to the Afterlife Bar.
That is the holy land for our mercenaries. You can meet the most awesome mercenaries at any time in the Afterlife Bar, and of course there are all kinds of middlemen.
Let me tell you, you can't get a private room in the Afterlife Bar with money.
Only the middleman who is recognized as the most powerful can have an exclusive private room in the Afterlife Bar, and Dexter is a person of this level."
"What about Wakako? How does Wakako compare to Dexter?"
Currently, Peacock only knows one middleman, Wakako, so this comparison is the most intuitive.
