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

Sasha, lying on the bed, slowly opened her eyes and looked at the wall in front of her that was so old that it had turned yellow, wondering what she was thinking.

The only thing we know is that the corners of her mouth were involuntarily curled up into a beautiful arc, and she didn't even notice it.

But the tears in my eyes couldn't help but fall down.

From despair to hope, and from a boy I just met for one day...

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

In the evening, the sun gradually sets in the west, and Night City once again welcomes night.

For most people, it would be time to go home for dinner in a few hours, but for David, now was the time to go home.

Ding--

The elevator reached the top floor and David returned to his cozy little home, but the huge top-floor villa seemed deserted.

"Hey, Lucy, are you there? I'm back!"

His voice echoed in the silent room, and one could even hear an echo.

But unfortunately, no one responded to his words.

"Huh? Where did that person go? Did he go out?"

David went to the upstairs compartment and found no trace of Lucy in the familiar bathtub.

Then he went downstairs, took out a bottle of beer from the refrigerator, sat on the sofa and drank it by himself, but his heart was full of doubts.

It was true that Lucy would usually go out without telling him, especially in recent days, she would go out almost every day.

If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Arasaka hackers who tried to recover the data.

But today, he hasn't come back at this time yet.

"Is there something wrong?"

David frowned slightly.

No, that’s not right and it shouldn’t be.

He has already dealt with Qi Wei. If Faraday makes any move, he will definitely contact him first, unless this stupid woman still wants to go back to her old ways, or even wants to die at Faraday's hands.

But this is almost impossible. Qiwei is a smart person. She knows very well that she cannot rely on luck in Night City.

What's more, he is not the David from before, and it is even less likely that he will be merciful to her. She knows very well what kind of person he is and what kind of means he will use.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to live well until now after going through so much.

So the question is, who else could it be?

"jingle--"

At this moment, familiar music sounded in my mind.

It’s Qiwei’s communication.

It wasn't a phone call, but an email.

After opening the letter and taking a quick look at the content, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly in delight.

"Oh wow, this old fox Faraday is really quick. Can't he hold back anymore?"

The general content of the email is:

Faraday has communicated with Qiwei, everything is ready, and now they are ready to capture Lucy.

There was also an address attached to it, which was the address where Faraday planned to catch Lucy.

I have to say that Qiwei really did whatever it took to survive.

The relationship between her and Faraday is much deeper than that between her and people like Mann.

But now, in order to save his life, he would even sell out Faraday.

However, it's not that he can't understand.

Because Qiwei is just a cyber hacker, she doesn't have any superb life-saving skills, and she is not as notorious as David. Almost no one dares to provoke her as long as this name is mentioned, and behind her is the behemoth Terrorist Mobile Team.

All she wants to do is to live well in this chaotic city.

If this condition can be met, Qiwei will be more reliable than anyone else.

David was convinced of this.

But then again, he really had enough of that old man Faraday.

According to his previous character and code of conduct, he would have led his men to attack Faraday's lair long ago.

If it weren't for the experimental prosthesis, Cyborg, he wouldn't have endured it until now.

And now, I can finally let go and do it!

Thinking of this, he made two calls.

"Hey, the operation can begin now. I'll send you the location..."

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

Meanwhile, the slums around Charter Street in the Kabuki district of Watson District.

The night breeze with a bit of salt and humidity blew in from the canal, slowly blowing Lucy's short hair.

At this moment, Lucy was standing on the roof of a house, looking at the buildings below with orange light flashing in her eyes.

She has hacked into all the surveillance cameras in the area and is searching for the hacker who triggered the honeypot she set up as a disguise and alarm.

To be honest, she was a little confused.

I don't quite understand why the hackers hired by Arasaka would hide in such a place. Normally, hackers would not hide in a place where they can be easily found by others.

Just like the legendary hacker Lachi Batmos, no one ever found his body even after his death.

If David hadn't taken her to the garbage dump, it would probably still be a mystery.

But now she is not allowed to think so much.

We must find the hacker as soon as possible and kill him.

No one must be allowed to access and recover the experimental data, no matter who it is!

Soon, Lucy determined the hacker's location through the surveillance cameras of the surveillance video network system, which was in a warehouse-like house not far away.

It exactly matches the ID of the network hacker who triggered the honeypot she set up, and is also in stealth mode.

It was indeed the hacker she was looking for.

"David, wait for me. After we kill this hacker, we can be together forever! You must wait for me!"

There was a cold flash in Lucy's eyes, and she jumped down from the top floor of the house resolutely.

The girl was very sure of this.

Because cyber hackers are extremely rare in Night City.

Furthermore, most hackers are basically against the company, especially Arasaka, so there are very few cyber hackers that Arasaka can hire.

Nowadays, most of the cyber hackers in Night City's Arasaka branch have been killed by her, and a large number of those hired from outside have also been eliminated.

She just didn't believe that anyone would dare to risk their life to accept this commission.

But there was something else that made her feel a little bad.

It's about the former hacker member Sasha Yakovleva who was saved by Rebecca. She actually offended the biotechnology company in order to save a person...

And it was even on the news this morning.

This also made her become worried again.

Lucy supports David when it comes to saving people, because it is a rare quality in Night City.

But what if I offend a company that has a murky relationship with military technology?

When I get back, I must give David a good lecture!

Lucy had already made plans for the future in her mind, but she had no idea what kind of danger she would encounter next.

A few minutes later, she hacked into the warehouse's system and quietly opened the door.

Da da da--

Her faint footsteps echoed in the silent corridor.

In this dim and huge warehouse, she found the familiar shelf area based on the previous surveillance footage. Located in the deepest part behind the shelves, behind the plastic curtain, a hacker in black clothing was sneaking around in a hacker chair.

hiss--

Lucy quietly pulled out a glowing molecular line from her wrist and slowly approached the hacker, her eyes full of murderous intent.

This is the last one...

However, just as she was about to wrap the thin wire around the hacker's neck, something unexpected happened.

The hacker, who was still stealthily on the move, gave her a strange smile.

At the same time, a faint sound of electric current was heard, and the hacker's face gradually became distorted as if it had been irradiated by radioactive metal.

Gradually, a pure silver face was revealed.

"Oops, I fell into a trap!"

It was too late when I realized it.

Other hackers hiding in the warehouse have hacked into her brain and uploaded the golem.

With a click, as if a mechanical device had malfunctioned, a few sparks flew from the back of her neck, and the implant was immediately restarted.

The whole person seemed to have lost all strength and suddenly collapsed to the ground.

In that blurry vision, she saw a pair of black leather shoes and maroon trousers slowly appearing from the shelf area.

"Faraday..."

She raised her head with difficulty and said the man's name.

However, the implant that was forced to restart seemed to have malfunctioned, forcing her into darkness.

"Huh, I didn't expect it to be so easy."

Looking at the girl lying on the ground, a disdainful smile appeared on Faraday's face.

Although Qi Wei had said before that this might be recognized as a trap, she didn't expect that this little girl would be so naive and fall into the trap so easily.

He hated and found it most ridiculous the disgusting drama of sacrificing oneself for the one one loved.

This is Night City, where love and sacrifice are the most useless things.

"What a stupid little girl..."

But Faraday was also very satisfied with this result.

"We finally got the pass to Arasaka. Well done, Qi..."

Before he could finish his words, Faraday suddenly found that his vision began to distort, and his whole body was out of control, and he fell to the ground with a thump!

The implant is overloaded!

His mind reacted immediately, but it was no use thinking about it now.

Because the body can no longer move.

"You... bastard..."

Faraday turned his head with difficulty, his four eyes filled with anger: "...You actually...betrayed me!"

"It's not me." Qi Wei slowly raised her hands to show that she was innocent.

But then he added: "But Mr. Faraday, this is not my fault. You should blame yourself."

There was a hint of fluctuation in Qi Wei's narrow eyes.

"hateful...."

At this moment, Faraday understood that this woman must have known something from somewhere.

Did Arasaka betray himself?

No, not possible!
