Brother Ni was in a coma in the hospital for a whole day, fortunately, someone from the Vortex Gang had given a heads-up, and no one did anything to him.
When he got up from the hospital bed, his butt didn’t hurt, and he neither gained nor lost any parts on his body.
The only change was that his car was tagged with the iconic mechanical skeleton graffiti of the Vortex Gang.
Upon waking up, he immediately went to the place called Goldsmith Street to investigate.
Having quit his job, and with the money saved from working part-time as a props master in the past, he still had no worries about food and drink before the studio opened, and he had plenty of time.
So in order to investigate this so-called cult, he adjusted his game time to nighttime and found a few night dwellers to run this so-called Watson District side mission together.
However, for several days, the group didn’t find any clues.
Although there were still Vortex Gang members active on the streets at night, they never saw any strange cult rituals.
And the sewers where they could potentially be hiding had already been completely messed up due to the recent [earthquake], and no one had cleaned or repaired it, making the map scanning worthless.
Presumably, normal people wouldn’t stay down there.
However, just when the group thought they might have missed some key information, and the clues might end here, Brother Ni received a text from someone named Caidix.
[Tonight at 23:00, Watson District dock, a poor little lamb is going to be sacrificed to the God of Mechanics, don’t forget our agreement]
When Brother Ni sent the text to a few stealth department players roaming in Watson District at night, he quickly received a reply.
Shui Yue: "Watson District dock? Isn’t that the dungeon entrance discovered by the Truth Department last time?"
[Bald Guy in the Crowd]: "It shouldn’t be the same one, I remember that place is stacked with containers, there are several Vortex Gang bases, and it’s said to be the main filming location for Black Mewtwo, just don’t know which specific place it is."
Though this game has diverse areas, almost indistinguishable from the real world, and where you can kill people at will, it’s very conservative when it comes to SEX.
Most Mewtwo scenes are not viewable, let alone the heavy Black Mewtwo, can’t even hire sex dolls, randomly enter a club and watch people strip dance and there are mosaics in front of your eyes.
One can only say that in this regard they should learn from R Star, they’re even less than Witcher 3. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novｅlfire.net
Brother Ni checked the time, it was only seven, still several hours till eleven.
"Let’s gather at the place first, then we’ll split up and slowly search."
On the way to the dock, Brother Ni thought
If this Vortex Gang cult clue has nothing to do with the underground castle, then it’s fine, it’s a new task line.
But if there’s a connection, it can only mean that players still don’t take the version preview seriously, or that the official underestimated the appeal of these gangs.
So far, everyone has not shown any interest in joining faction forces.
After all, the education they’ve received since childhood makes players not want to get involved in drug manufacturing, kidnapping, forced prostitution activities, nor do they have economic pressure, if they really lack money they just find some brothers to borrow money from these gang bases.
It’s dark than the gangs.
How can anyone be willing to join the wild monster faction that they themselves have beaten down?
But this also cuts off some hidden task clues within gangs, Vortex Gang cult clue likely related to the underground cult.
However, the freedom of the game allows non-Vortex Gang players to also have access to related task lines, just recklessly rushing into the final task map, improper actions lead to the destruction of the entire task line.
But there’s still a chance for remedy now.
Night City’s old dock is large, but most places have been abandoned, the left half has been taken over by Huang Ban, Night City’s famous hotel Ganbi Mansion is inside.
Moreover, it’s not difficult to check Vortex Gang bases at night.
In Night City, especially in the chaotic, vicious land of the northern Watson District dock, normal people dare not go out at night, regular shops close early, only gang members show off here, just find the lively crowd and you can’t go wrong.
Soon, the first one to rush to the dock area, Bald-headed Killer, after a brief search set his eyes on a group of Vortex Gang members and followed them all the way.
To say what’s unusual about this group of Vortex Gang members, there actually wasn’t any.
Because they were too normal, normal enough not to be like the cyber lunatics normally associated with Vortex Gang.
No loud noises on the road, no sharp sounds, no discussing where to find fun tonight, nor discussing the latest Mewtwo in bars, rather, they walked in silence.
Even the vehicles accompanying them unexpectedly abided by traffic rules, didn’t run red lights.
For a group taking Night City law as decoration it’s simply absurd, can’t help but attract attention, it’s just most people don’t dare provoke Vortex Gang in Watson District, hiding is not enough, where dare to follow.
To avoid being discovered, Bald-headed Killer dared only to follow them from afar, until entering the southern dock area full of containers, only then did he stop tracking.
Because ahead was the Vortex Gang base, not only surrounded by wire mesh, but with several underlings guarding the entrance.
Although it was not sure if this group was the target he was looking for, Bald-headed Killer gathered the other players.
