Monster Hunter Gathering

"You suddenly appeared in front of me with that prosthetic body, and stubbornly said you wanted to help me... What exactly do you want to do?" There was a hint of danger in Lucy's tone.

Although David just said that he likes himself, this is Night City.

There isn't much truth in Night City. If you don't live carefully here, you will be buried in a grave in the suburbs sooner or later.

She didn't believe that someone would appear in front of her so inexplicably.

"Who asked you to come here!" Lucy's eyes were shining with rainbow light, and her hacking ability had completely locked onto David. It seemed that she was ready to burn David's prosthesis at any time and burn David to death.

"Is it Arasaka?!"

Lucy stared at David.

Maybe David is a killer sent by Arasaka, who is after me because of my past... All those things I said before were just stories I made up to deceive myself...

If that was the case, Lucy should have dealt with the other person right now.

"not me……"

David opened his mouth and wanted to explain but found that he couldn't think of how to explain himself.

What to say?

Did I know that you and I would be lovers in the future? Did I fall in love with you because I saw that tragic movie-like future and even dreamed about you?

"I... I..." David made up his mind and opened Sian Westin directly, hoping that he could use the extra time given by Sian Westin to carefully think about how to answer Lucy.

David was thinking frantically as time slowed down.

But Lucy could only see David standing there silently, and then suddenly, a large pool of blood spurted out of David's nose.

"!"

Lucy was stunned.

I haven't even hacked into his prosthetic body yet, so why is he already bleeding from his nose?

Lucy just watched as David's nose bled, his body went limp, and he slowly fell to the ground. He collapsed face to face with Lucy in the deserted alley.

"...?"

Lucy grabbed David's collar, lifted him up and found...

This inexplicable guy actually fainted.

There was blood coming out of the nose and mouth.

"This guy...what on earth is he doing here?" Lucy grabbed David's collar and let out a long breath.

....................................

More than ten minutes later, David woke up from his coma and felt a little nauseous all over. When he opened his eyes, he saw the face of a black woman who was wearing a rescue worker's clothes.

"What's wrong with him?" David heard Lucy's voice in his ear.

The black rescuer responded, "A common mistake made by newbies. They didn't take any protective measures after the implant... What kind of immunosuppressant is he using? Where's his medical insurance?"

Lucy glanced at David lying in the ambulance: "Who knows, this guy is just an inexplicable brat."

"Useless."

David forced out a sentence from his throat: "I didn't expect...it would be so sudden..."

David felt that the scene before him was particularly familiar.

It's just... just like fate.

This rescuer's face is exactly the same as the rescuer who worked with the scavenger in his original future... or are they the same person?

"I...it's okay!"

David only felt a surge of strength pushing out from his body.

David felt that his condition was recovering rapidly. The vigorous vitality gave David extremely strong recovery ability, allowing David, who had overdrawn his prosthesis before, to sit up directly and tear off the oxygen mask on his face.

David grabbed Lucy's hand and said, "I really... just want to know your name!!"

"My name is David Martinez!" David grabbed Lucy's hand and said, "I want to know your name!"

Lucy didn't expect that this would be the first sentence David said after he stood up, but Lucy also saw that the rescuer behind David suddenly drew his gun.

"Now's not the time to talk about this," Lucy said. "I didn't expect this guy would end up collaborating with the scavengers..."

"You young fool! I thought you were so dangerous... but it turns out you are just a young fool!" Lucy kicked David's stretcher, knocking the rescuer away as if it were the original plan, and then jumped onto David's stretcher. She jumped out of the car with David and the stretcher.

"Lucy!" The rainbow-haired girl in front of him grabbed David's collar and shouted at him in the strong wind: "Don't you want to cooperate with me? My name is...Lucy!"

"Stupid Qing!"

Chapter 210: Actually, most men are stupid in love.

"Damn...!"

The black lady who had just been kicked by Lucy covered her bleeding nose and looked angrily at David who was leaving in the distance.

But the next moment, she heard a loud thud as something fell on the roof of the ambulance.

"What the hell..."

Before the paramedic could react, he saw a huge sword piercing through the roof of the car and then slashing violently.

The enormous force directly split the roof of the ambulance in two, almost cutting the entire ambulance in half.

"That's you, the guy who has something to do with the scavengers."

A hand reached out from the gap in the roof and grabbed the paramedic who was related to the scavenger. With a terrified expression on her face, he pulled her directly onto the roof.

In the speeding ambulance, the paramedic used the surrounding neon lights to clearly see the true appearance of the "monster" in front of him.

He had an East Asian appearance, and was wearing armor that looked even ferocious and like a monster. In one hand he held a huge sword that was taller than many people. He effortlessly lifted her up high by the collar with one hand.

"What a coincidence."

Nie Chiwu looked at David and Lucy who had disappeared in the distance and smiled grimly. "I followed the intelligence and came here, but I didn't expect to see this..."

"This is what I want to see! I have to show it to Kazuma!" Nie Chiwu grinned happily, then slowly turned his head and looked at the rescuer who was related to the scavenger in his hand: "As for you...you are involved with the scavenger, right?"

"Elbow! Follow me and parade through the streets!"

Amid the paramedic's horrified expression, a grappling claw flew out from the catapult in Nie Chiwu's left hand, grabbed the streetlight on the overpass, and detached directly from the ambulance.

"I've solved it here. By the way... I saw David and Lucy!" Nie Chiwu said to the rally channel: "It's good to be young..."

At this moment, David had no intention of watching the rally channel which had become lively because of Nie Chiwu's words.

All he could see now was the girl with the light rainbow hair in front of him, and all he could think about was…

"vomit------"

David lay on the stretcher and vomited directly onto the road, spraying a rainbow across the speeding stretcher...

"Hey! You fool!"

Lucy patted David on the back and said to him, "How long have you been using Sianweistan? You haven't even used the inhibitors, but you've been using the implant for so long... You're really a freak."

"I'm not a freak." David said with a nauseous look on his face, "I just... need this right now."

"Because I have something I want to do recently!"

David was on the stretcher, shouting into the wind: "I have something I want to do!"

"Why are you yelling so loudly!" Lucy glared at David. "Are you going to say that all you want to do is put on this prosthetic body and pick up girls on the tram? And in the end, you fell for me?"

“…” David remained silent.

"Is what I said really true?" Lucy looked at David, then slammed the brakes on the stretcher and stopped. "You're quite the fool...Okay, now you know my name. Hurry up and stop hanging around here, little brother."

Lucy jumped off the stretcher directly, waved to David with her back to him, and walked in another direction, which made David particularly confused.

And what is even more puzzling is...

Lucy should have scanned by now and realized that the prosthetic on her back was the one Mann and Gloria had ordered. Now she'd just left her alone? Wasn't she planning on contacting Mann?

"wait wait wait!"

David instinctively activated Sian Westin, and in a flash, he was behind Lucy and grabbed her wrist. "If I want to see you in the future, what should I do?"

"Hey! Are you crazy!"

Lucy shook David's hand off, grabbed his face with both hands, and looked into his eyes: "You just got off the stretcher, and you're already using Sian Westin?"

"I have no intention of going crazy with a cyber-psychopath!" Lucy grabbed David's face, her tone faintly filled with anger: "Especially a willful young master like you who dropped out of Arasaka Academy!"

"I...I'm not..."

David looked at Lucy in confusion as she pushed him away and disappeared from his sight.

He clearly thought they got along well before, but why...

"Yo, David."

Just as David was standing under the overpass in a daze, looking in the direction where Lucy left, an arm was placed directly on David's shoulder.

The person who came was Nie Chiwu, who had just dealt with the scavenger medical staff and rushed over to watch the fun.

"Why do you look so unhappy? Didn't you just meet Lucy? You should be very happy." Nie Chiwu raised his eyebrows at David.

"Captain, I... screwed up." David said to Nie Chiwu beside him with some pain: "Things are completely different from what I expected."

"With your brain, you're playing chess when everyone else is already at level 95, and you're still stuck at level 6, playing one-cost cards." Nie Chiwu glanced at David with some disdain. "Do you know that your IQ looks like it's at least half as good?"

"Tell me what's going on." Nie Chiwu put his arm around David's shoulders and said, "The caring captain will help you solve your emotional problems."

About half an hour later, in a street restaurant, David told Nie Chiwu everything that happened when he met Lucy, hoping that he could give him some advice.

"Captain, why didn't Lucy take me to find Mann after seeing my prosthetic body?" David was puzzled. "Is it because I was too anxious and the other side started to hate me?"

“…” Nie Chiwu covered his face.

In this case, it can be basically confirmed that Lucy let David go even though she knew that the body in David was Mann's predefined body.

"Fools are lucky," Nie Chiwu scolded David. "How come you ended up with such a cyberpunk girlfriend?"

"But I don't know what to do with Mann now." David ruffled his hair. "They probably don't know who I am in real life, right?"

“This is the easiest.”

Nie Chiwu had a business card in his hand. "I told you, open world, open solution...why don't I just take you to meet Mann?"

Chapter 211 David was sold out!

"..."

"Mann, are you sure this job is reliable?" Dolio looked at the chaotic surroundings and said to Mann beside her: "That queen of the afterlife actually specifically introduced us to a client... This thing seems strange to me no matter how I think about it."

At this moment, Mann and Dolio were both sitting in a booth in a bar.

The surroundings were a mess and it didn't look like a normal place to talk about things.

Not long ago, Rogge contacted Mann directly and said that there was a job he wanted to introduce to their team of edgewalkers.

But the meeting place arranged by the client... was actually in this messy bar booth. Even for Mann's huge body, this booth was a bit crowded, and he was completely huddled inside the booth.

At the appointed time, Mann and Dolio finally met the client...

Just as Rogge said, he came over wearing a...strange eel headgear.

The eel mask seemed to be swaying as the client walked, and the mask was super long, so the figure wearing the swaying eel mask could be clearly spotted in the crowd from dozens of meters away.

Mann and Dolio suddenly understood what Rogge meant by that strange headgear that they could never forget after seeing it once when he introduced the client's characteristics.

The wigger eel was seen shaking its hood as it walked all the way to the bar booth where Mann was, followed by a young man in a yellow jacket. The young man seemed a little nervous and kept looking at Mann and Dolio.

"Hello."

The Wiggler Eel sat down directly in front of Mann and Dolio, and began to introduce himself. "It seems you've been waiting for a long time. I'm the client this time, and I'm here to find you a job."

"Wait!" Dolio reached out to stop Mann beside her, then looked at Nie Chiwu warily: "You came here specifically to find us, right? I don't think our reputation would make someone come to us specifically through the Queen of the next life..."

Dolio looked at the shimmy eel before him. "Why did you come to us specifically? What kind of mission do you want?"

"Of course I'm assigning you something good to do." Nie Chiwu laughed. "Why? You look worried? You don't know why I came to you?"

"Before talking about this, at least take off that funny headgear!" Dolio stared at Nie Chiwu.
