As for his sister, the two of them naturally kept in touch, and she told him that she had found some people with whom she could make contact and unite.

In conclusion, everything is moving in a positive direction.

However, even so, he still didn't think he had enough strength to defeat Xu Shi.

At least now he's much more clear-headed, and he can see the obvious gap in his eyes—the highly skilled talents of the "Forgotten Ones" might not even be worth his attention, while he's still dealing with these people who stayed behind.

Although I hate to admit it, we're really not on the same level.

But he still couldn't swallow his anger; the scene of being humiliated by the other party was still vivid in his mind.

Was he really destined to spend his entire life stuck here, or return to Night City as an ordinary person under his jurisdiction? He simply couldn't accept it.

But what else can he do... at least he can't think of any solutions right now.

Feeling upset, he went to the vicinity of the camp to clear his head and relax.

It was at this time that...

Shenhe noticed a seemingly incongruous scene at the foot of the mine not far away.

Um?

Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was actually a person.

She was a girl wearing a pale yellow dress.

The other person seemed to have lost consciousness and collapsed on the ground. The backpack next to him was also opened, and the photography and painting equipment inside was scattered all over the ground.

Huh?

This is definitely not one of the "Forsaken," it's probably someone from the City of Nightsin...

After thinking it over, Shenhe took the other party back to the camp, settled them down, and had someone check on their condition.

It wasn't too bad. He fainted because of the "rust fog"—the amount of "rust fog" outside the city was too much for people inside the city to handle. It was similar to oxygen intoxication, and without protective measures, it was easy to experience such a situation. Fortunately, the symptoms were mild and could be suppressed with some medication.

Under his care, the other person gradually regained consciousness within a few hours.

"Hmm...where is this?"
