Great, we're doomed now!

She wasn't originally interested in the company's secrets, but unexpectedly, there was something in the data that piqued her interest:

Biotechnica is an industry leader, and also the company that the unlucky guy infiltrated.

This chip contains detailed records of how, over the years, biotechnology companies have used methods such as "medical assistance" to have patients take experimental drugs with unknown side effects.

Even with drugs already on the market, biotech companies have not recalled products after major defects and adverse reactions were discovered; instead, they have chosen to cover up the facts and erase evidence.

—One of them was a certain medication that Sasha's mother used when she was sick!

Realizing the truth about her mother's death, Sasha changed her mind and decided to make the information public.

However, perhaps she was too focused on browsing the information and unknowingly stayed there for too long. Her fake identity was detected by the system, and now the security forces at the transit point have realized that a "non-customer" has infiltrated the area. They have even activated the guard robots.

Now it will take her a lot of effort to escape.

Boss Mann is waiting to pick you up near the port. With his methods, creating chaos to escape shouldn't be difficult... but that would mean a direct firefight, which would immediately increase the risk and cost!

Are you going to put your captain in danger for your own personal reasons?

It would be best to find a way to fool the security. There are so many people at this transit point anyway, and I could also create a fake identity... I don't know if I'll have enough time...

Sasha lay flat on a container, quietly lying still without making a sound, as several robots slowly walked past.

If it were just these stupid creatures, there's nothing to worry about; fooling them wouldn't be difficult. But the cyborgs guarding the transit point are a different story.

It looks like there are gangsters moving goods over there. Should we hide under their car and leave?

But there seems to be a brainwave detector at the access control area...

You look troubled.

A private message suddenly popped up in the upper right corner of the "view" screen, making Sasha blink.

"This ID... Doctor?"

The Slavic-blooded hacker girl thought of the prosthetic doctor she had met earlier. Knowing she was in trouble and not wanting to involve innocent bystanders, she simply walked away. But now…

Sasha sensed something and turned her head to the left, only to find Ye Shou following suit, also going up to the top of the container next door, where he was lying there watching her like a scout.

"Doctor, don't worry about me. This is very simple. Just pretend you didn't see anything and leave."

I've been observing you for quite a while; if it were really that easy, you wouldn't have been standing there motionless.

Ye Shou continued sending messages, his smile growing wider.

Let me go?

Are you kidding me? I can practically see the yellow exclamation mark above your head, and you're telling me to leave?!

Even if we take a step back and say that Sasha did contribute Destiny Coins to him, Ye Shou couldn't just ignore that relationship.

'I really don't have...maybe a little troublesome, but I'm sure I can handle it!'

Oh, I was overthinking it... But if you just want to get out, I have a 100% safe way.

'I'm not alright... huh? What did you say?'

-

Ye Shou left as usual, carrying the box containing the prosthetic body. Because it had been accumulating for more than a month, the goods filled the large suitcase, and the wheels could be heard rolling on the ground with a noticeably duller sound.

However, something was a little off today. He was stopped by a robot when he tried to pass through the access control. Before he could even frown and ask a question, a staff member in uniform came up to explain.

"Excuse me, sir... For your privacy and safety, we are now tightening access control. Please show your pass."

He glanced at Ye Shou's large trunk again, his eyes gleaming: "Then please take your goods and go through the door on the left."

"I paid for the service, not for... You're not going to check my suitcase, are you?"

"Of course not!" the staff member quickly denied.

Just kidding, where is this place?

Customers choose this place because it's safe and convenient. If we were to forcibly inspect what goods they were carrying... it would be a huge blow to our reputation, and a worker like me can't afford to take that responsibility.

"Alright then, you're smart to be sensible." Ye Shou's expression remained unchanged, showing no unusual reaction except for his dissatisfaction with the service. He only glanced around when he reached the distribution channel.

The security force has clearly become stronger!

The six robot firing positions, along with the five security personnel scattered around... their cybernetic bodies and weapons were clearly pre-activated, ready to enter combat at any time.

Because of the terrain advantage, if they went all out, even a gang of about twenty people would be wiped out here, right?

Ye Shou hasn't yet reached the point of being invulnerable to swords and spears; if he's discovered...

Ye Shou calmly walked to the gate-like robot, which resembled a security checkpoint, scanned his pass, and then confidently led his suitcase inside.

Without any issues, he passed through the access control smoothly.

The uniformed staff member withdrew their gaze from the suitcase and turned to examine the next customer. They knew it was a device that could detect brainwaves; if another person's brainwaves were detected in the suitcase, it would definitely trigger an alarm.

That guy who snuck in is definitely still inside the transit point!

-

Ye Shou carried his suitcase out of the port and stood under a crane. Looking northwest, he saw a dark-skinned man leaning against a heavy motorcycle, waiting there like a statue.

He wasn't surprised to see Ye Shoulai at the agreed location, as he had obviously already received the news.

The two exchanged a glance, the burly man—Mann—grinned, then got on his motorcycle and rode away.

At the same time, a message popped up in Ye Shou's email:

Lucy will go to the clinic, thank you.

"...Didn't you ever think of giving me a ride?"

Ye Shou glanced at the secluded surroundings and curled his lip.

-

Walking, taking a car, and then walking again, Ye Shou successfully returned to his little house, where Lucy was already waiting downstairs.

Hello~

The man greeted her and led the punk girl up the stairs. Lucy couldn't help but look at the box. Ye Shouze opened the door and politely gestured for her to go in first.

Just as the girl stepped into the house and turned on the lights, Ye Shou, standing behind her, smoothly unzipped the suitcase and sent it inside.

Turning around, he gripped something tightly in his hand and pulled out another identical suitcase.

As Lucy sat on the sofa as usual, Ye Shou had already dragged his suitcase and placed it on the carpet in the center of the living room.

With a "whoosh," it was pulled open!

Inside the box was a pretty girl dressed in a dark, tight-fitting leather outfit, her prosthetic limbs and torso folded up like a doll.

"……Um

Sasha suddenly opened her eyes and couldn't help but shudder.

Chapter 42: I will take you to a place farther than the moon!

Using a "collector" for smuggling is practically foolproof!

Bringing people through the gate might be a big hassle for mercenaries, but for Ye Shou, who has his own private space, it's just a piece of cake.

If you put something in another dimension, no matter how amazing you are, you can't possibly detect it!

In other words, Ye Shou isn't short of money; otherwise, he could have single-handedly supported an entire smuggling operation.

As for putting Sasha inside as an object... Ye Shou wouldn't dare do that if it were an ordinary person. After all, although his private space has air inside, it has neither sunlight nor heating, making it unsuitable for human survival—but it's different for a cyborg like Sasha!

Depending on the degree of modification, prosthetics can enhance a person's tolerance to the environment to varying degrees.

Some cyborgs, whose bodies are fully cybernetically modified and who are practically just brain matter, do not need to eat or breathe. They rely entirely on their cybernetic bodies to supply oxygen and blood to their brains. As long as their heads are well-sealed, they can survive for quite a while in the space environment!

Sasha the cat wasn't as obsessed, but she was still much stronger than a pure human. For her, the journey in the box was just a period of hibernation.

Of course, Ye Shou wouldn't let others know the secret of the "Collector," so Maomao was unaware of Ye Shou's method of switching boxes along the way; she only thought that she had been dragged out by Ye Shou.

— Dragging a suitcase containing beautiful girls through the streets feels like something out of some perverted Japanese games.

"Um... thank you so much, doctor!"

Sasha, who had escaped safely, curled up in the box and grinned at Ye Shou, looking both surprised and delighted.

For her, abandoning other methods and simply hiding in Ye Shou's box to leave her fate to chance was a very risky move. If Ye Shou didn't have such a good reputation and everyone trusted him, Sasha wouldn't have entrusted her life to someone else.

Now that we've won the bet, we should naturally have a good celebration afterwards!

"Doctor, I'll treat you to dancing at [Next Life (Bar)] later~"

Sasha tried to move, but still couldn't get her body out: "Um... could you help me? You two shouldn't just stand there!"

"Hehe... You look like a bizarre work of art, Sasha."

Lucy, hands on her hips, said mischievously, "Maybe she'll be very popular with perverted rich guys."

"Then I'll respectfully decline. Please spare me, rich old men... but a doctor would be fine."

Sasha's eyes darted around, finally settling on Ye Shou's face: "Even if he has some unusual preferences, I can accept it for the sake of this natural face."

Good looks are a scarce resource in any era, but with the development of technology and the increasing number of cheating methods, they seem to have lost their value considerably.

In Night City, it's possible to change your entire face, and there are even more handsome men and beautiful women on the streets.

But you can tell at a glance that Ye Shou doesn't have cyborg skin; he's a genuine, purebred handsome guy.

Sasha, as a Russian woman, has always been bold and outspoken, saying whatever comes to mind without ever feeling ashamed.

"As carnivorous as ever~" Lucy smiled helplessly, stopped arguing, and squatted down to take out her body parts one by one.

Sarah's current appearance is indeed quite graphic. In order to fit the length and width of the box, her limb prosthetics were removed and placed parallel to her torso, making her look like a doll delivered to her home.

At the time, there weren't many tools available, so Ye Shou's method of removing the prosthetic body was a bit rough. Now that it's been reinstalled, it's just for show, not even able to perform one-tenth of its function; it only doesn't affect mobility.

As Lucy wiped her sweat, she said, "Don't forget to see your prosthetic doctor when you get back and get it properly adjusted."

"I understand~" Sasha glanced at Ye Shou, but didn't say anything.

Firstly, they had already troubled Ye Shou enough, and Ye Shou wasn't a member of the Cyber ​​Squad. Sasha didn't know how much to thank him, so she decided to just leave him indebted to Ye Shou.

Secondly, it's better to find the original prosthetic doctor, since everyone's adaptation to the prosthetic body is different, and only your own prosthetic doctor has the most complete data.

(Every street hustler who wants to survive in Night City needs a reliable adoptive father—no, I mean, a cyborg doctor—not the kind who would dismantle you at the first opportunity.)

"Speaking of which, what happened? How did you end up in such a mess?" Lucy asked, tilting her head. "Wasn't it supposed to be a simple task?"
