Cyberpunk: I didn't cheat.

Chapter 121 The Lotus Blossoms Behind Us

Faraday set a trap. He kidnapped Lucy, then had David steal the cybernetic Kong that Arasaka was transporting. He then used military technology personnel to test the performance of the cybernetic Kong. Finally, he offered Lucy, who had once been company property, and David, whose cybernetic body was highly compatible, to Arasaka.

David had previously shown early signs of cyberbullying due to the installation of too many outdated prosthetics, and he had been suppressing his symptoms.

Because he wanted to become stronger, to protect Gloria and Lucy.

David and Lucy are arguing about his prosthetic body, and he doesn't have much time left.

Faraday's trap was set. Under the manipulation of the mole Qiwei, the group successfully entered the transport vehicle containing the prosthetic body of King Kong.

At the last moment, Faraday used Lucy's call to get David implanted with a prosthetic body.

Although Lucy tried her best to stop it all, it seemed to be too late.

In this trap, David dealt with all the military technology personnel and finally decided to rescue Lucy, who had been captured by Faraday. Falco and Rebecca thought David was a crazy idiot, but they still chose to go straight to hell with David.

Before leaving, he tried to call Gloria one last time, but the call didn't go through.

He still couldn't keep his promise.

"I'm sorry, Mom."

Da da da da!

"Hey! Why are we going to Arasaka?"

"Go save Lucy! Faraday said he's going to hand Lucy over to Arakawa!"

"Ugh! These tagalongs are so noisy!"

Rebecca stuck her head out of the speeding car, blasting the military-tech pursuers behind her with an iron cannon.

Rebecca breathed a slight sigh of relief as the last car exploded.

"Tch! I should have bought more bullets with Vito!"

No one responded. She turned her head and saw that David was asleep again.

"Not again? Damn it, the medicine is getting weaker and weaker!"

She patted David's face helplessly.

"More military technology reinforcements have arrived!"

Falco, who was driving, yelled.

"David needs to rest for five minutes."

"A five-minute break? Did we come out for tea? Oh well, I'll buy myself some time!"

Falco gripped the steering wheel and sped forward. Just then, a military technology vehicle in front of them opened its door, and soldiers inside were firing at their vehicle.

Falco pressed the launch button on the vehicle, and the vehicle-mounted harpoon was launched.

The harpoon caught the car, the car in front slowed down, and a collision occurred!

The military truck in front instantly flew into the air, smashing the pursuers behind it to pieces.

"Well done, big bearded man! Hahahaha!"

Rebecca laughed wildly and fired backwards, the explosions and gunshots blending into the most beautiful symphony.

In a trance.

David was hallucinating.

He returned to that afternoon in Santo Domingo, where Gloria had just told him she was sure she could reach the top of the Arasaka Tower, and the next second, their car was caught in a gang shootout, the vehicle went out of control, and the trauma team ignored the wounded civilians.

Then, a group of shadows snatched Gloria away. He drew his gun and killed one shadow after another, but could only watch helplessly as Gloria was taken away.

He had run out of bullets, and his face was covered in blood.

"Mom, I... I didn't do anything—"

He squatted in the sun, his hands covering his head.

"Did you get into a fight? You look all dirty. Go wash up properly before you go in, so your mother won't worry."

"Vito?"

David looked up and saw a shadow standing in front of him, but he could sense that it was Vito.

"We don't know where our destiny leads, so how can we fight against it? Let nature take its course, at least we're together today."

"Vito, I... I'm on the edge of a cliff, I—"

"It's still early, David, it's still early. Take Gloria and Lucy and leave Night City."

"Go, David, go."

"David!"

"David!"

David awoke from his hallucination.

In an instant, he injected himself with an inhibitor that was nine times more potent than the military prescription sedative. This substance could force him to stay awake, but the side effects would accumulate.

After the final injection, no matter how much humanity David has left, it will eventually completely collapse.

David jumped onto the roof of the car and fired fiercely at the pursuers blocking his way. In just a few seconds, most of the pursuers were wiped out.

"Hahaha! David! Well done!"

"Hahahaha!"

David was also laughing wildly.

Noticing that something was wrong with David, Rebecca crawled to his side and looked at him with concern.

David was beaming with excitement.

"Mom! I'll climb to the top of Arasaka Tower!"

Rebecca smiled wryly as the little girl who adored David looked at him with doting eyes.

"Let's go, all the way to the top!"

"Hey! David, what's wrong?"

Having shaken off his pursuers, Falco finally had the energy to check on his teammates.

"I think David's medicine is no longer effective!"

"Huh? What do we do then?"

"Let's go to Arasaka!"

"But David—"

"Let's go to Arasaka to find Lucy. Only Lucy can bring him back in that state! Then we'll pick up Gloria and leave Night City!"

"Tch, easy for you to say! Anyway, we're getting close to Arasaka Tower. What are your plans?"

"No plan, charge! Hahahaha! Fire! Fire! Wuhu Wuhu!"

At this moment, Arasaka's cybernetic Kongo team is discussing how to deal with David.

"He surprised us; let's find a way to stop him."

"We can only wait until the prosthetic body exhausts him; right now, he's a monster."

"There is someone who can stop him."

"Who?"

"Adam Hammer".

"What? This—"

"Report, the Counterintelligence Department has issued a Level V warning, indicating that someone will attack Arasaka Tower."

"Counterintelligence Department? Rintaro has blinded them all. There are actually people among these pigeons who are this capable. Pay attention to this V. Now get off."

"Yes."

"Then we—"

"Get ready, Adam."

At that moment, Adam Hammer, who had been hiding in the shadows of the room, stepped into the light, his eyes gleaming with a cold red light.

beep~ beep~

"Falco".

"Qiwei?"

Upon hearing Qiwei's voice, Rebecca launched into a tirade of curses.

"What, you damned old hag! I'm going to kill you!"

Qiwei's voice was somewhat weak.

"Falco, listen, Faraday is going to eliminate me too, and I'll be soon."

"You were betrayed too?"

"I'm sending you the tracking signal from the Faraday Flying Car."

"Do you still expect us to believe you?"

"I don't know, but my decisions today have been wrong step by step. This day was bound to come eventually."

"Kevi is dying," Falco asked his last question.

"Lucy's with Faraday too? Want us to help you get revenge on Faraday?"

"I told Lucy myself not to trust anyone in Night City. I wasn't lying to her. Everyone here will betray you. Now, it's Faraday's turn to feel the pain of betrayal. Go save Lucy."

Qiwei was hiding behind a trash can. She had been shot and was now in critical condition, with her pursuers getting closer and closer.

She turned off the emotional blocker and edited her last message.

[Vito, I————]

The message was sent, and Qiwei's head was blown apart by her pursuers.
