People are in cyberpunk, but they are top-level cyberpsychopaths

"The company is trying to cover up the numerous crimes they committed in order to stay alive... no, to avoid death!"

"I sucked the blood of my servants, waiting for my body to be rejuvenated, waiting to return to the human world... Remember my words!"

Although these words are exaggerated, they are also true.

Whether it is the local tyrant Saburo Arasaka, or his son Yorinobu Arasaka or daughter Hanako Arasaka, they are all very old, basically over 80 years old. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are old women with childlike faces.

Even her granddaughter Michiko Arasaka is already in her sixties, almost seventy.

But on the surface, except for Saburo who is about to die, everyone else looks very young.

They do rely on sucking the blood of ordinary people to continuously research technology and try to achieve immortality.

But what Gary said about the necromancers from Alpha Centauri and the blood of the undead... is a bit nonsense.

If there really are aliens in this world, he would really like to see them.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sneer.

But it was also because of this laughter that the cyber madman noticed him.

"Hey, You!"

When he was about to walk away, Gary stopped him, turned around and asked in confusion: "Are you calling me?"

"Yes, that's right, it's you! I recognize you, you come here often. Look at your eyes, you have lost your soul."

"What do you mean?"

These words made him feel a little uncomfortable, but he still chose to continue listening.

I want to see what else this guy can say.

"Oh, poor child, your eyes have been operated on by the necromancers from Alpha Centauri. You must be careful of cyberspace, especially the dead souls in it. They will corrode your brain!"

"Do you know what cyberspace is? That's not its real name. It's actually... a den of demons!!!"

Gary danced and shouted and spoke loudly, as if he wanted everyone to pay attention to his voice.

"Without a body, how can life exist? Aren't the creatures on the Internet the souls outside the universe we live in?!!!"

These words made his brows furrow slightly.

Although what this guy said sounded like nonsense, I always felt like he was hinting at something.

But what exactly it is, I have no idea.

It feels a little familiar, yet very strange.

But as for the dead, he had indeed seen two, one was Johnny Silverhand, and the other was Silverhand's girlfriend, Otto Cunningham.

But these two people don’t seem to be as exaggerated as this guy said.

At least Silverhand was still his good comrade at the time, but Ultra was a little weird.

However, at this moment, he noticed the ring on Gary's finger, which was an antique brass ring.

The slightly stained pattern on the ring looked familiar to him.

"I think I've seen it somewhere..."

Although he didn't have a deep impression, he was sure that he had seen this thing somewhere.

...but where?

"Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm leaving first."

When he thought of his agreement with Lucy, he gave up arguing with the guy.

He immediately transferred one hundred euros to the so-called "prophet" in front of him, and then turned and left.

But when he left, the madman still shouted: "Oh, thank you for your gift, child, I believe you will become a believer of the truth!!!"

Oh, a believer in truth?

Not interested in.

It would be better to think about how to make money quickly to destroy Arasaka, and then live a shameless and happy life with Lucy.

39. Night Run with Lucy

At night, on a pier at the junction of the Civic Center and the Haywood Springs District.

Lucy stood on the edge of the pier, gazing at the turbulent sea with the colorful neon lights flashing behind her, and enjoying the sea breeze blowing from afar.

However, at this moment, her heart was in turmoil, just like the sea, with waves constantly rising.

The words Mann had said to her this morning kept echoing in her mind.

"why me?"

"People who adopt stray cats have to take responsibility, right?"

"But it was you who decided to keep him, Mann."

"Anyway, he's been pestering me to give him a job, and you have to take responsibility for this." A voice came from the other end of the phone that could not be refused, "Whether it's training or anything else, it's up to you to decide, just tell him to shut up!"

The communication was terminated.

He didn't even give her a chance to refute or refuse again.

"..."

Lucy felt the same way now as she looked out the window at the view of Night City.

Very messy.

She didn't know what she was upset about.

David?

No, she didn't hate David, she knew that very well.

It can be said that in the entire team, apart from Qiwei, the only person who can chat with me is probably David.

For this reason, she even shared with him her treasured Mewtwo and dreams that she had never told anyone before.

But...why?

"...asshole...."

What happened to me?

She didn't know...

However, just when she was stunned, David's voice suddenly came from behind her.

"What asshole?"

"No, nothing." Lucy shook her head gently and subconsciously checked the time. "You are quite punctual."

"Well, it's an appointment with you after all, how could I be late?"

Standing on the road extending from the pier, David walked slowly with his hands behind his head.

"Oh~ My promise..."

For some reason, when she heard these words, a smile appeared on her face involuntarily, wanting to tease him. However, when she turned around, she saw that David's face was a little pale.

"Are you okay? You look very weak."

"Nothing, just a quick visit to Old Wei's. But having said that, this outfit... suits you quite well."

His eyes moved up and down Lucy's body.

Today, Lucy did not wear her usual clothes. Instead, she changed into a sportswear with light yellow as the main color and pink as the secondary color, revealing her fair and flat belly.

Although it is not as eye-catching as the one she wears everyday and lacks the charm, it does add a touch of youthfulness and vitality.

"Really? Thanks."

She chose to accept David's compliment frankly.

"Then, from today on, you will exercise with me..."

At this point, Lucy paused and changed the subject, "But first of all, it was Mann who nagged me to take you with me, and I was also dragged into this mess."

The words "too troublesome" are written between the lines.

"Well, I know, it's because I've been pestering him for work recently..." He said helplessly, "But your statement is too cruel..."

"Learning to experience the cruelty of reality is a necessary rule for survival in Night City. Today I will teach you."

There was no mercy in Lucy's words, and they seemed much more aggressive than in the past few days.

This left him a little confused.

What happened to Lucy today?

I shouldn't have offended her, right?

Just as he was stunned, Lucy said again faintly: "But to be honest, you don't look like you are a marginal person..."

As she spoke, Lucy's eyes were also looking him over carefully from bottom to top.

The so-called marginal people are another name for cyberpunks, but this name only appears among mercenaries, and it is also a signboard that mercenaries are proud of.

To become a top marginal person is the legend of Night City and the dream of mercenaries or everyone.

But unfortunately, the top cyberpunks have all surpassed their own limits and turned the impossible into possible. (I suddenly thought of the second son of a certain Yuanshan family.)

Similarly, most of these legends did not survive and successfully entered the cemetery or were abandoned in the wilderness.

But then again, this was the first time she had seen someone as thin as David want to be a cyberpunk.

"You look like you'd go crazy if you had one or two more implants."

"maybe."

He shrugged indifferently, and he did not mean to deny Lucy's sigh.

But not denying does not mean affirming.

Even if it is affirmed, it is for my past self, not my present self.

Now, he could either die on the spot as Lao Wei said, or survive safely.

Become a cyber maniac?

Sorry, this option is not available.

"Hmm, you're really frank~"

Seeing his confident look, Lucy's mouth curled up slightly, and she immediately ran past him.
