Chapter 55: Mann Team
“No, meow”
“Okay, I really envy you for finding a boyfriend to play with, unlike me, who only has my wretched brother to play with.”
Rebecca pouted.
“”That’s enough, little sister. You’re breaking your brother’s heart by saying that!”
Pyrrha, who was not far away, heard her sister nagging him and couldn’t help but complain.
Mann and Dolio were also sitting nearby, watching this warm scene with a smile on their faces. Sasha was going to confess her relationship to the mysterious man and accept each other.
To be honest, this was a good thing. After all, in Night City,”love” was a rare treasure and a treasure of the highest standard.
“Our hacker finally gets to taste the bitterness of love!”
“What? Is it hard for you to stay with me?”
Mann smiled, looking like a veteran, and then Dolio elbowed him. Mann covered his nose and didn’t show any temper.
“Baby, I was wrong. It’s not bitter, not at all. Playing with you every day is super sweet, sweeter than candy.”
“Slick talker, but it’s time for our Sasha to grow up.”
Dolio rolled her eyes at Mann, then she looked at Sasha with a look of emotion, as if she remembered the moment when she met Mann. At that time, she was still very thin, and her figure was as slender as Sasha. At that time, she followed Mann, who was still a lone wolf, to do the work of a mercenary…
But later, in order to become stronger and not drag down the team, she gradually implanted prosthetics to transform into the big guy she is now, which is also a pity for Dolio.
“Although I don’t know who that guy is, but considering that he saved Sasha, I can force him to drink less when we meet. I just don’t know when he will meet us.”
For Captain Mann and Vice Captain Dolio, Sasha is not only their teammate, but also their sister, the sister who has taken care of them all the way. Seeing Sasha’s happy face, Mann and Dolio looked at each other and couldn’t help but smile like a loving father and mother.
Rebecca looked at Sasha’s smiling face, and it would be a lie to say that she didn’t envy him. Mann said that Sasha’s boyfriend was a very powerful cyberpunk. He took Sasha out of the biotechnology building and blew up a hovercraft.
This incident was also reported in the news at the time. It is said that even the biotechnology company has not found his trace until now. Some people said that he was sent by military technology to provoke the relationship between biotechnology and Arasaka Enterprises. Some people also said that the mysterious cyberpunk was a street warrior hidden in the dark of Night City like Morgan Blackhand.
In short, without Ali knowing, his mysterious man’s vest became a little famous in the cyberpunk circle.
So Rebecca was also very curious about what the boyfriend who saved Sasha looked like, whether he had three heads and six arms, or one head and two arms.
“Sasha, can you bring your mysterious boyfriend to meet us? The super powerful Sian Westin, with a mantis blade that flashes with electric light. I’m so curious about what he looks like?”
“Yes, yes, let me see which lucky person gets to eat our beautiful Ms. Sasha. I, Pila, am really envious. After all, I haven’t even touched the hand of beautiful Ms. Sasha.”
“Yes, Sasha, when will you bring him to meet us? We are very curious about that boy.”
Mann also joined in the fun. Rebecca’s words immediately attracted the attention of all the members of Mann’s team. They all gathered around Sasha. After all,”Sasha has a boyfriend” is a rare event. For this group of cyberpunks who usually don’t have much entertainment topics, it is a good way to join in the fun.
“How about you send a message and ask?”
Dolly knew that Sasha had a”non-disclosure agreement” with her mysterious boyfriend, but now everyone’s interest was aroused. They were all looking forward to meeting the man who could conquer Sasha, so they had to try to ask anyway.
“”Right, right, sister Sasha, try asking. Rebecca is so curious.”
Although Rebecca is about the same age as Sasha, she relies on her petite figure to act like a child and flirt with Sasha.
“Well, I’ll ask.”
Unable to resist the enthusiasm of the crowd, Sasha did not refuse. In the atmosphere of the crowd watching and cheering, her pupils began to flicker again, and she sent a text message to Ali.
“By the way, Ali Miao, I actually have a team, a cyberpunk team that is like home. Because you saved me, other people in the team also want to meet you, including Rebecca who I just mentioned. Would you like to meet them as well?”
“Sorry, my identity cannot be exposed to too many people right now. After all, as you know, I have hidden implant technology. Once the company knows about this, it will disrupt some of my plans and bring a lot of trouble.”
“However, I do have another way. I can turn on the optical camouflage and go over there. Although I can’t show my true face, at least I’m there and can get to know the people in your team.”
On the other side, Ali, who was on his way to the subway station, received the message. He thought for a moment, edited the text and sent it over. After all, to Sasha, every member of the Mann team is her family.
Sasha has lost her parents and blood relatives, so for the Mann team that is like a family, Sasha naturally hopes that Ali can come to see her only”relatives” left in the world.
Ali also knew this, so he did not refuse. Besides, he could also sign in with the Mann team to increase his strength.
Fortunately, he had signed in with Morgan Blackhand for [Legendary Optical Camouflage] before, which could hide his identity, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with Sasha’s request.
Of course, Sasha also passed Ali’s request to everyone in the Mann team. After learning that Ali would wear optical camouflage to shield his true identity, everyone didn’t mind. After all, everyone has their own secrets and privacy, and it is already a great honor for others to agree to come and meet them.
“Optical camouflage, this stuff is really cheap, and really expensive. Second-hand junk is only tens to hundreds of Euros, but the price of the next level is seven or eight times higher. For example, the fine grade costs hundreds or thousands of Euros, and the military grade is even more outrageous. Not only is it unsalable, but it also costs tens of thousands of Euros.”
“And the ones who can install this thing are really tough. The implanted part requires the entire skin to be peeled off alive, and then sewed back together.”
“Tsk tsk, it hurts just thinking about it!”
As an expert in prosthetic technology, Pila smacked his lips. He was naturally familiar with the structure and price of prosthetics, but the implant of”optical camouflage” was rare in Night City.
After all,”optical camouflage” was not only expensive and difficult to install, but also could not bring any attack or defense bonus to the implanter. Therefore, apart from the sewer rats like scavengers who were afraid of the light and would implant some cheap ones, other people would rarely install such things.
On the other side, Ali had just come out of the subway station. He walked into an empty alley, and when he came out again, he had changed into the outfit of a street kid, looking ordinary.
But as long as you look carefully, you will find that Ali’s whole body is as dark as a fog. No matter whether it is an implanted prosthetic eye or a surveillance probe, you will never be able to see his true face.
In fact, Qilusi’s prosthetic eye can also ignore the surveillance probe for a short time. In the game, Victor also said that the surveillance probe can be scanned. The face is blurred.
After all, the Qilusi optical prosthetic eye is an electronic neural enhancement modification with environmental scanning function, and it is widely welcomed by users.
However, this is an active skill.
You must actively scan the camera first, and it can only defend against the camera, and cannot defend against the scanning of other prosthetic eyes and what the naked eye sees, so the limitation is still very large, and it is more used for hacking.
Every profession has its own expertise.
Only optical camouflage can completely cover the surface and blur the human body’s vision to achieve a truly hidden identity, just like Morgan Blackhand, who is perfectly hidden in Night City.
Even if he stands in front of people, he will not be discovered.
Only by actively turning off the optical camouflage can his true face be exposed.
Soon Ali followed the location given by Sasha and came to the abandoned warehouse. Sasha was already waiting here. Although she couldn’t see the face of the person in front of her, she could feel that it was Ali, and she showed a sweet smile.
“Strange, how did you know it was me?”
“Didn’t I turn on the optical camouflage?”
Although the surface was blurred, Ali’s voice did not change at all. After listening to it, Sasha excitedly threw herself into Ali’s arms and whispered in Ali’s ear:”Ali meow, I miss you so much~”
“Then why have you ignored me for so many days?”
“”That’s because I haven’t figured out how to face you. Meow~”
Ali hugged Sasha. He looked sideways and saw the other members of Mann’s team hiding in the warehouse and secretly looking out at him. They were all familiar faces, Mann, Dolio, Pyrrha, and Rebecca.
Everyone was eating melons. Qiwei and Falco, two part-timers, were not present. Four heads of different sizes and shapes were secretly observing Ali.
“Wow, so sweet, they hugged each other, and Sasha was completely conquered.”
Rebecca looked excited
“Young people nowadays are much more direct than we were back then. Haha, Dolio, remember to buy some self-defense kits for Sasha later. We still need to take the necessary protective measures.”
Mann laughed heartily, and then took another elbow from Dolio.
“If you don’t speak, no one will think you are dumb.”
Dolly was furious. The romantic atmosphere was ruined by this rough guy.
“”Fuck, what a high-end optical camouflage, it looks expensive, and it can even shield the whole body, tsk, he just peeled off the skin all over his body.”
Pira’s focus was on Ali’s”optical camouflage”. In short, the four people were commenting on Ali. After all, it was a rare thing for a team member to find love, especially Sasha was the favorite of Mann’s team.
Soon Ali sat with the people of Mann’s team, Sasha sat next to him, and the four kings of Mann’s team sat opposite Ali, staring at Ali with a sizing look.
“Hey, kid, are you the mysterious man who saved our Sasha? Now answer honestly, what is your name, where do you live, and are you infected with HIV?”
……
Mann, as the captain, took the lead. His huge physique, thick gorilla arms, and orange sunglasses made him look very oppressive.
“You can call me”L”You can also call me”Shadow”. I’m sorry that I can’t reveal my real appearance and where I live to you for the time being. I’m very healthy and my shape and size are in line with Sasha’s expectations. Sasha can testify to this.”
“Although it tastes a bit big and a bit annoying, Sasha can still accept it.”
Sasha took Ali’s wrist, and the two of them drove a heavy truck for the Mann team in public, the kind that the wheels of the truck could run over their faces.
“Damn, I’m so envious. I, Pila, will report you using my real name. Why shouldn’t I have any pretty girls to be with me? Do you know how painful it is for me to be alone when I’m lonely?”
“”Go away, stinky brother, why don’t you just die? Don’t embarrass us here!”
Pira looked at the loving couple and wailed. Rebecca was so angry that she kicked him to the ground and hit him on the forehead with a pistol.
“Oh Yahoo, my sister is awesome, try harder”
“”Fuck!”
Seeing Pyrrha’s wretched look, Rebecca’s face turned red with anger. She snapped her hands madly.���She loaded the magazine and pulled the safety of the gun. No matter what she said today, she was going to kill her stinky brother.
“No, no, no, Rebecca, calm down.”
Dolio hurriedly took the little girl away, because Rebecca really knew how to shoot, and of course she took Pira away with her. The love-hate relationship between the siblings still needed to be adjusted.
In fact, everyone knew that Mann was going to talk to Ali next and try to test him, so they all left tacitly to leave some space.
……
However, before leaving, Dolio glared at Mann, telling him to stop talking nonsense. This glare made Mann sit up straight.
Ali was chatting with Mann, and it felt good. When Ali looked at the harmonious and loving Mann team, his thoughts seemed to be back to the scene when he was watching the anime.
“Seriously, thank you for saving Sasha.”
“I actually rushed over that day. I saw her lying on the hospital bed with several holes shot out of her. If it weren’t for you…if you hadn’t rushed her to the prosthetic doctor in time, I can’t imagine what would have happened.”
“Mann meow.”
Mann’s tone also became a little heavy. After communicating with Ali, he could indeed feel that Ali had no other intentions in getting close to Sasha, so he began to speak from the bottom of his heart.
This made Sasha look guilty again. Ali didn’t say anything more, but just waved his hand:”Don’t mention the past anymore. Sasha is safe and sound. This is the best ending.”
“But I can’t see through you, your purpose, or the current outcome!”
“In short,”Shadow”, I don’t care what secrets you are hiding, no matter what big things you are planning, but as long as you dare to hurt my teammates, I will never let you go!”
Mann stood up from the chair, his huge body blocked the sunlight, and a large shadow shrouded Ali, which seemed particularly deterrent with his low voice.
“Don’t worry, Sasha is also my family. My heart is not a cold implant, it is also hot.”
Ali still sat there motionless, holding Sasha’s hand and replying calmly. Mann took off his sunglasses and stared at Ali, as if he wanted to see through Ali.
But Ali just sat there, silently letting Mann stare at him until his eyes were sore, which seemed very frank. The scene was silent for a few seconds.
“That’s right, let’s not talk about sad and serious topics, hahaha.”
Mann laughed heartily, he sat back in his chair, approached Ali and stretched out his huge hand:”My name is Mann, the captain of the Mann team, and of course their big brother!”
“””Shadow” Boy, you really suit my taste. We are going to have a party tonight. How about you come over and have a drink?”
Ali also stretched out his hand and shook his. Both sides reached a consensus on their positions. At this moment, he was finally officially accepted by Mann’s team.
“Can”
“What a pleasure!”
Mann’s team is basically the same. They speak directly and ask questions when they have them. Since everything has been said, they can accept it with confidence. It is clean and direct, and it looks neat.
David was taken in by Mann’s team because of Gloria, and Ali was also recognized by Mann’s team because of Sasha.
Shaking hands, it means that Ali is also half of Mann’s team. Mann’s chatterbox also opened up. He looked straight at Ali:”I heard that you have implanted the military-grade”Sian Westin”? It can increase a person’s speed to a terrifying level?”
Unable to stop, Mann’s eyes were burning. He has paid too much to get to where he is today. This pair of legs that keep running can no longer stop. There is only one thought left in Mann’s mind!
If I also have”Sian Westin”, can I run faster? Can I save Sasha myself? Can I have the ability to protect all the family members around me?
