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

Just like the indifference he had shown when he first met Mann's team and attacked Pyrrha.

It can't help but send a chill down one's spine.

However, Mann's body was almost out of control at this time, and he had problems with many of his senses, such as emotional control.

This coldness actually angered him.

"Are you trying to defeat the strong with the weak, kid?"

"Or do you think you're so great because Sian Westin lets you travel freely?"

"boom!"

As Mann finished his words, David raised his right hand again, blocking Mann's deliberate punch again.

The strong wind from his fists blew his yellow coat and hair slightly.

His palm was fully extended, and in front of the fist that was as big as a mud truck, it looked like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, but he still blocked it.

"Do you really want to do it?" He twisted Mann's arm slightly and said coldly.

David's voice became colder again, as if the air was slightly frozen by his tone.

This time, Mann had no intention of launching another attack. Instead, he slowly lowered his arms and turned to walk towards the innermost room.

"That was supposed to be mine. Remember that."

With a ding, the door closed.

Mann's words echoed in the air.

"Tsk, this bastard..."

The indifference just now disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it had never happened.

This Sian Westin is yours. If I really install it on you, how long will it last? I guess you will turn into a cyber madman on the spot...

But then again, since this guy was so stubborn, he had no choice but to stick with him to the end.

No matter what, Mann is still needed now, otherwise when that bastard Faraday calls and no one answers, who knows what kind of trouble will happen.

"Those idiots might be catching up soon!"

"We only have until tomorrow morning, you know that!"

Just as he was about to go back, he heard a quarrel coming from the room.

"We have no choice!"

"I already said it, I can't do it!"

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Lucy standing up from the sofa and angrily scolding: "You are the one, do you understand?! He is from Arasaka..."

Lucy seemed to want to clench her fists to vent her inner anger, but her hands were shaking slightly.

The subconscious fear of Arasaka prevented her from clenching her fists.

"stop fighting."

David walked straight over and gently held Lucy's little hand, and the trembling gradually subsided.

He turned to Dolio and said, "If Lucy doesn't want to do it, then give up."

"Shut up, David. We've put so much effort into this project, and now you want to undo all that work?"

Dolio didn't expect David to say that, and she was a little angry. "What's more, Mann..."

"I know Mann's situation, but that's why I plan to let you give up. Besides, I don't want anyone to force her to make a decision."

These words moved Lucy a little.

It's not that she can't do it, but she doesn't want to do it.

She had finally escaped from Arasaka's clutches and didn't want to be exposed to Arasaka's sight again. If she did that, not only herself would be in danger, but also David.

But this is just a subconscious thought.

Subjectively, we are caught in a struggle and choice.

Dolio is right. We can't just let our efforts go to waste.

"Tsk."

Lucy, who didn't know what to do, immediately grabbed David's wrist and walked towards the door.

"Hey, do you want to keep going like this? You can't get away with this forever!"

Lucy ignored Dolio's words.

Regarding her past, apart from herself, Dolio is the only one in the team who knows the most, and she has only told Dolio.

If there were any other options, Dolio wouldn't want Lucy to do it, but now...

They have no way out.

Regardless of whether they steal data or not, they will be targeted by Arasaka.

-------------------------------------

in the corridor.

"David, tell me I can do it."

Lucy grabbed his collar and made him lean his entire body against the wall, like a wall-dong.

But at this moment, Lucy's mentality was not to do a wall-dong.

The anxiety of not knowing whether to get the data and the fear of Arasaka intertwined and filled her heart.

She was seeking comfort from David.

I hope to get the answer I want from David.

But unfortunately, her hopes were dashed.

"impossible."

"Wh...why?"

Lucy looked up at him in disbelief, her eyes full of loss, as if she had been betrayed.

The answer I want cannot be obtained from the person I love.

"Because I don't have the answer you want." David said calmly.

"Really..." Lucy's voice trembled a little.

The mind recalls the scenes that have been experienced in the past.

He was adopted by an orphanage established by Arasaka, and was trained to be a cyber hacker since childhood, repeatedly probing the edge of the black wall and collecting some so-called usable data from there.

Some of his friends also died tragically at the hands of the roaming AI outside the black wall.

"Yeah...that's Arasaka..." The fear in his heart had spread to his voice.

Arasaka, who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Kang Tao and military technology, and divide the territory of Night City.

How can they compete with this behemoth with a market value of 8900 billion euros and more than 595000 employees?

And every scene she experienced seemed to be engraved on her soul.

No matter what, I can't forget it. No matter what, I can't forget the horror of Arasaka.

Thinking of this, Lucy slowly let go of David's clothes.

He turned around slowly and walked towards the elevator at the end of the corridor in a daze.

But next second.

She suddenly felt herself being embraced in a warm and familiar embrace.

It is David's arms.

"Da...vid?"

"Listen to me, I can't give you the answer you want because I don't want to make any decisions for you, nor do I want my vote to affect your true thoughts."

David whispered in her ear.

"Follow your heart and do what you want to do. I will always be your strongest supporter and I will unconditionally support your choice at any time."

"So... just go for it."

His words gradually restored Lucy's lifeless eyes and filled them with determination.

It was as if the fear of Arasaka in my heart disappeared completely in this warm embrace.

She is now full of confidence.

"...I see. Thank you, David."

What is there to be afraid of when you have a lover who supports you like this?

If there is danger, the two of them can face it together.

No matter what difficulties they encountered, the two of them would overcome them together and crush them.

Already, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Well, that's good."

David also nodded slightly.

At this stage, he is unable to resolve Lucy's nightmares and emotional knots. He can only silently support Lucy from behind and let her walk out of the shadow of Arasaka on her own.

"So just go for it, follow your heart and don't let anyone or anything influence you."

His voice became gentler.

"I will be your line of defense, your first line of defense, and the strongest line of defense."

"Thank you, David..."

Lucy gradually relaxed and leaned gently into David's arms, as if enjoying the warmth of the moment.

The gorgeous purple eyes slowly closed, the long eyelashes trembled slightly, and a happy smile slowly appeared at the corners of the mouth.

"I will work hard for you and be your defense, David."

60. You are surrounded by me! (9K)

"I do."

"what?"

Inside the room, Dolio looked at the two people who appeared again, especially Lucy's response, which made her muscle head a little confused.

He was clearly shouting that he refused to do it and couldn't do it a few minutes ago.

According to Lucy's personality, shouldn't she be leaving now?

Now he has changed his mind...what happened?

"But the condition is that this matter is done by David and I, and Mann is not allowed to intervene. If you don't agree to this, I won't go."

"That's right, Mann can no longer be involved in this matter."

As Lucy put forward her conditions, David echoed her.

With Mann's body, if he continues like this, he will inevitably turn into a cyber madman, and by then there will be no hope for him.

"This is a highly skilled and trustworthy cyborg doctor named Victor Victor."

As he spoke, he pulled up Lao Wei's contact information, then waved it to Dolio: "Just find a way to bring Mann there. Lao Wei knows what to do."

Dolio looked at the contact information, then raised her head to look at the two people in front of her, her mouth slightly open as if she wanted to say something, but she looked hesitant.

"I see..."

But in the end, he chose to bow his head and put forward his own conditions:

"But you have to keep in touch regularly, every 15 minutes, before dawn. Got it?"

"Yes, yes, leave the contact to me, ha-yawn~"

Dolio's chattering like an old mother made him feel sleepy and he rubbed his eyes.
