【VA-11 Hall-A】赛博朋克酒保行动小角色介绍——Crimson Rose

Crimson Rose

个人渣翻自wiki fandom上的资料介绍,不能算是官方权威,也不算最齐全的介绍,仅供参考娱乐(笑)。内含剧透,建议了解剧情后再来细读。

Crimson Rose是Glitch City的五位雇佣杀手之一,和Cobalt Lily一同搭档的“死神(Reapers)”二人组。这两个雇佣杀手会为任何有门路找到她们,并且能出得起足够钱的家伙效力。游戏剧情中侦探Art的委托便是找到Crimson Rose。


在日常的对话中我们很难了解到Crimson Rose,只有触发了特殊情况的对话才会提到这位神秘的女杀手。

侦探Art一开始收到了委托人的合同,打算去寻找Crimson Rose的行踪并交给她一封信。并因此来到了VA-11 Hall-A酒吧。

在游戏剧情第七天,如果Art没有遇到Stella,他就会提到Crimson Rose被困于阿波罗信托银行,并且情况极不稳定、反复无常。听说她还因为嗜杀而发疯动手杀了人。侦探觉得Crimson Rose现在过于危险,她不只是受了伤,还暴露了身份,犹如一只逃亡中的受伤猛兽,Art可不想和这个扯上关系,也不在乎雇主给多少钱。
然而,在游戏剧情第十二天,Art忽然收到了委托人寄来的一大笔钱,那自然没理由拒绝了。根据侦探后来的研究,发现委托人Lord Lance Lavender是追踪目标Crimson Rose的父亲.,Lance在西方国家Kanyevania貌似特别出名。他的血液和Glitch City的纳米机器有些奇怪的反应——他的血流出来暴露在空气中看着很正常,但是只要和其他人的血液接触,这个人体内的纳米机器就会起反应。它们会开始消耗这个人的身体,直到从内部将这个人的身体侵蚀殆尽。这项“技能”似乎继承给了女儿Crimson Rose。

Crimson Rose在几年前离开了父亲Lance独自出走,从此他就再也没见过女儿。Art 没法在最开始就找出委托人是谁,因为他不知道是谁制定了这份合同,而追踪所有消息来源的成本又太高了。直到后来他知道发件人是谁,发现客户的真实身份。
Crimson Rose的血液中有一批反常的纳米机械,那种玩意会对普通市民体内“正常”的纳米机械产生反应。如果她的血液跟你的发生了接触,会几乎立刻导致纳米机械排异。与此同时,它们会以与血液流动相同的速度在体内扩散,身体组织会自行撕裂,进而造成大脑受到损伤。
Crimson Rose从不处决她的目标。她只是割伤他们,再划卡自己的手掌,紧握住目标的伤口,让自身的纳米机械解决掉对方。有人说受害者看来就像被吸干了一样,没几分钟就瘦得不成人形。(这意味着她并没有被Ingram雇佣,去干掉害死自己女儿的白骑士,因为Ingram雇佣的杀手会把目标的头砍下)

在游戏剧情第14天,Art最后一次造访酒吧,如果你给他的两杯酒都调错了的话,他则会告诉Jill自己最终完成了委托————
当Art之所以能找到Crimson Rose,主要还是因为她时那时已经不打算继续掩盖行踪了。Art发现奄奄一息的Crimson Rose只是坐在房间的角落里,身边散落着几具尸体。根据Art事后的推测,那里大概是个毒品实验室,她扮成娼妓混了进去,之后便动手杀光了里面的人。侦探发现Crimson Rose时,她已经因为嗑药过量在鬼门关走个来回了,Art只来得及从她身上套出一点话,但归根到底,侦探还有自己的工作要完成,因此Art把那封信交给了她。但Crimson Rose连读都没读,就把信撕得粉碎。
根据Crimson Rose的说辞以及侦探的猜想,她之所以对父亲不闻不问,还是因为父亲Lance的所作所为——她的诞生不过是实验的目的,Crimson Rose因为自己的父亲而被当成小白鼠对待,Lance在字面意思上利用她来测试各种疗法,无论这种行为是多么背德。Crimson Rose从小就开始接受实验。当她意识到自己的血液有何种能力的时候,她就失控了。按Crimson Rose的话说,“我没必要受任何人的折磨,就算是自己的亲爹也不行。”

因此她就此离家出走,化名Crimson Ros来到了Glitch City,成为了一个雇佣杀手,之后被困在了银行里,接着,排异反应又发作了……这让Art深有感触,那一刻几乎把她看成了自己的女儿。Jill对此也不禁感叹道:“真是艰难的人生(Tough stuff)。”

"Crimson Rose" is a gun-for-hire, one of the only two female gun-for-hires (five gun-for-hires in total) in Glitch City. She is one half of the so-called "Reapers", the other half called "Cobalt Lily". Both of them only take clients who are "resourceful enough" to find them and pay them a wealthy sum of money. Private detective Art is tasked with tracking her down.

Not much is known about Crimson Rose from what is given to us through the events of the game without triggering certain dialogue on certain days.

Art receives an envelope of money with the task of finding Crimson Rose. Please keep in mind that this is just Art's findings and may not be the complete truth. On Day 7, if Art doesn't run into Stella, he mentions that Crimson Rose is unstable. She was last seen at Apollo Bank; her cover blown (something that doesn't happen with her). It seems that she "got crazy with bloodlust" and killed a guy and left him disfigured. She's now hurt and on the run. Art says he doesn't want to get involved with this case anymore, no matter "how much they offer me".
However on Day 12, the client offered a huge amount of money, so Art couldn't refuse it and is back on the case. It's revealed that Crimson Rose's father and Art's client (most likely using a middleman) is Lord Lance Lavender, a big name from Kanyevania. Like his daughter, his blood apparently has some weird reaction to Glitch City's nanomachines. Once in contact with the air, it does nothing. But if still fresh and touching someone's blood, the nanomachines will initiate a reaction. Essentially, they'll just eat through the other person's body until there's nothing left. This is almost the exact same thing that Crimson Rose has.
Crimson Rose left years ago to earn her living here and he hasn't seen her ever since. Art couldn't figure out who the client was on Day 7 becase he had no clue who was making the contract, and tracking all the messages to the source would've been too costly. He found out the client was by knowing who the sender was.
Crimson Rose's blood has an abnormal batch of nanomachines. They react to the "normal" kind floating inside people (definitely humans, not sure about any other being). She kills people by letting her blood touch the blood of her victims, and it causes nanomachine rejection almost immediately. It rapidly spreads, "spreading as fast as your blood pumps." Tissues get ripped off by themselves., then brain damage. She never executes her targets (which means she probably wasn't hired by Ingram to kill the White Knight responsible for Ingram's daughter's death as he asked to bring the White Knight's head to him). She just cuts them, cuts her palm and holds the target's injury tightly. "Some say" the target looks like it's getting drained, getting thinner by the minute.
On Day 14 if you give Art the wrong drink twice he will reveal that he managed to track down Crimson Rose in her last moments. Unlike what she normally does, she stopped covering her tracks and Art found her sitting in a room of (likely) a drug lab near some corpses. She passed herself off as a prostitute and then proceeded to kill everyone inside the drug lab. When Art found her, she was "drugged to hell and back" and from what he could get out of her she was dying. The cause of it seems to be the same rejection she used to kill her targets was also killing her too. Art delivered her the letter only for her to tear it apart without reading it.
The reason why she did it, according to Art was probably because of her hatred for her father. She was born for experimental purposes; a living guinea pig for her father's condition. He was going to use her to test any treatment, no matter how unorthodox. She was experimented upon from an early age. And when she found out what her blood was capable of, she just snapped. In her own words, she realised that "I didn't have to take shit from anyone anymore, not even my father". She ran away from Kanyevania and came to Glitch City. That's when she started as a gun for hire. She got trapped in that bank and then, the rejection started to kick in...
