Chapter 840 Puzzle (a small update)

Cyberpsychosis is considered an extension of psychosis, and there is consensus that it is a complex condition and that the full consequences of the disease cannot be attributed to the sufferer.

The European Community, as a proclaimed civil servant, of course has established exemptions for cyberpsychosis and even has health funding to research and prevent this disease.

But it is clear that the money did not have the desired effect - at least Elliott now believes that it definitely did not achieve the desired effect.

As for where the money went?

[Johnny: Where did the money go? It seems that this riddle applies not only to Night City, but also to the European Community. 】

[Johnny: It seems that there is a riddler in society, who repeats and emphasizes this riddle with blood on the wall every day until someone with funding can answer this question.]

[Johnny: Unfortunately, smart political officials will never be able to answer this question. 】

John's home is located in a fairly good-looking workers' apartment. Compared to the house where Elliot lived in Folkestone, this house does not have fully backlit rooms. There is a light well in the middle, and the rooms are built around the four sides of the building. At least they are There is a window.

Of course, the rent will definitely be much more expensive.

Eliot once believed that these were meaningless luxuries. Rather than causing himself to fall into a debt crisis because of these enjoyments, it was better to save them and let himself have no debts.

But John has a wife and children, so he obviously thinks it’s worth it:

From the documents returned by the network monitor, Elliot was able to retrieve what motivated this man to get up every day:

After getting up, he would look to his side——

His wife was sleeping soundly next to him, and his son was lying on the small bed beside the bed, talking in his sleep. Although he was not as proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting as those children of the aristocracy, he had a bright mind and was good-looking, but in his eyes, this was The meaning of his work.

He doesn't know if his son has any talent, but he believes that his confident and hopeful attitude towards the future will definitely help his son learn a man's tenacity and learn how to face the world.

And until his son learns this, he and his wife will always be his safe haven, so he has to work hard:

Being a safe haven costs money.

There weren't many things in this one-bedroom apartment, and obviously the family of three didn't live a luxurious life. At least John didn't dote on his son and buy a lot of things.

There are masterpieces drawn by his son with homemade chalk on the wall. The tidy room indicates that the couple's education for their children starts with themselves, and a loving life is also the starting point of love.

Bang!

A worker carrying an electric drill came out of the door. This man almost bumped into Elliot and looked at him in confusion:

"this."

The worker glanced at the visitor: Although Elliot was well dressed, he could tell at a glance from Elliot's fat figure that he was not a big shot.

But Severns next to him is different, two words - leader.

The leader was followed by two media people.

"Leader? Are you looking for me?"

Elliot scratched his head and looked at the house number: "Isn't the Owen family living here?"

"Owen?" the worker thought for a while, "I'm not Owen? You are talking about the woman who lived here before - no, she is alone, how can we be a family?"

"Where has she gone?"

"I don't know." The worker shook his head, "How did I know this? I only saw her when I was looking at the house. She was so scared. It is said that she lost her job and was thrown out because her husband killed someone."

Throwing out means throwing out the European barriers, throwing them outside of "civilized society", and becoming barbaric refugees.

If they do not leave the killing zone, they become hunted animals - many of the refugees who are thrown out will not give up and get close to the European barrier, and are eventually killed in the killing zone.

"If she hadn't been evicted, I wouldn't be able to rent this house, and if it weren't for yesterday's march, I might have been kicked out!"

As the worker talked, his joy could no longer be concealed, and a smile appeared on his face. But while smiling, he suddenly discovered:

The two people in front of me seem a bit like the members of the special committee in the news.

He raised his finger and stared at Severs, the smile on his face became more and more obvious, and finally turned into a big smile: "You are Mr. Strange!

Oh, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I might be the one who gets thrown out!

I have to thank you."

Severns smiled back: "This is what our committee should do. It's getting late today. I have to leave. Enjoy your time in the European Community. The citizen servants are at your service at any time."

After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving the confused worker behind: He just took one look and left?

Phantom was slightly shocked when he saw this scene: the little political worker's smiling face disappeared as soon as he turned around, as if the worker had offended him.

Elliot didn't know what to say to this worker. He shrugged and turned towards Phantom and Iron Hand:

"Where are the others?"

Phantom shook his head: "I don't know, it seems like someone owes him millions. Why is he so upset? Shouldn't he communicate more to promote his achievements at this time?"

"Well, let's go then. I'll ask him again when I get back."

Elliot couldn't figure it out either.

Lear originally wanted him to see the good consequences of this incident: the murderer's family could be cleared of wrongdoing, but in the end, the person died.

The dazed Eliot had only taken two steps when he bumped into the Phantom. He raised his head, and the latter was staring at him:

"Brother, are you sick too?"

But soon, Lil gave a hint:

[Lil: She bumped into you and put a note in your pocket. If I'm not mistaken, she just picked it up from the ground. Someone must have thrown it to him. ]

[Lil: Unfold the note and find a place with glass to throw it away. I'll see. ]

Eliot walked into the elevator as if nothing had happened. The TV in the elevator was broadcasting yesterday's rally. While watching, Elliot unfolded the note in his pocket.

When the elevator descended to the bottom and the TV screen just switched to black, he threw the note down.

Through the reflection of the screen, Lil clearly captured the words on it--

The font was crooked, but the message was straightforward:

[Owen committed suicide. The Bruges Police Department disposed of the body that day. Her son hasn't been home for a long time. ]

Elliot's mind suddenly became more empty--

So in the end, what is their meaning?

Two images flashed through his mind: one was a cozy little house with a family of three, with chalk drawings of the family of three on the wall.

The child's painting skills were a bit strange. The faces of his father and mother were quite restored, but when it came to his own, he only drew one eye and only half of his nose. I don't know if it was accidentally wiped during the general cleaning.

The other picture was the room seen over the shoulder of the worker just now:

There was no trace of the family of three living there, only countless wine bottles and messy paper balls, which was somewhat similar to the room where Elliot once lived.

Johnny and Lil squatted on the ground, and the other stood next to the note.

[Johnny: It seems that the justice that this family has waited for is a little too late. These bastards should be shot. ]

[Lil: I think something is wrong. The report given by the Internet Monitoring is missing a lot of details, mainly about his son.]

First of all, the couple is in Bruges, why let a 9-year-old child travel to Berlin?

Secondly, a man who loves his children so much has no record of communicating with his son since the end of July.

[Johnny: What do you think happened? ]

[Lille: There is too little information. Only the Internet monitoring knows what happened. ]

[Johnny: Haha, a society with 24-hour surveillance claims that this is designed for the safety of citizens, but it turns out that there are puzzles that citizens cannot solve everywhere. ]

[Johnny: Have you seen that there is something in the personal social code of the European Community that distinguishes them into real citizens and fake citizens? ]

This is a puzzle, but Lille has no time to continue to reveal it. They must continue and move forward immediately.
