Chapter 53 Firelight and Rope

At eight o'clock that night, the Hegu District fell into silence, and many households in the apartment building where Lin Wen lived were brightly lit, which was announcing to the outside world that this home had an owner.And when standing in front of the glass window and looking out, people can also be seen in the nearby apartment building, and they are also nervously watching the situation outside.

It was nine o'clock, and the rustling sound came from the street. Under the local dim lights of Santo Domingo, vehicles, motorcycles, figures, and even drones appeared in the sky. With a yellow light, photographing the conditions in the two areas of Santo Domingo and Heywood.

In Lin Wen's home, Jack was reaching out his hand against the glass, looking down with his head down. He looked at it for a while, then raised his head to look at Lin Wen and said:
"Hey, Lin Wen, the guys from the Sixth Street Gang have come out, let me see, damn it, they have quite a lot of people. Didn't they say that 500 people beat 500 people? It doesn't matter how you look at it." More than a thousand."

Jack said to Lin Wen who was cleaning up the dishes in the kitchen, but it was said that Lin Wen took the dishes, but in fact there was an automatic dishwasher. After all, this is 2077, no matter how poor Santo Domingo is , Those self-service things are still useful.
Like a better place, especially a high-end residential area like Westbrook, every household is all electronic, cooking?Just tap it!

David wanted to see it too, but when he saw Lucy enter his room, he also ran in, and now he was packing his things in there in embarrassment.

Lucy was sitting on the swivel chair, holding the armchair with both hands, and she was silently watching David who was packing up.

The young man turned his back to himself, groping on the bed.

But seriously, Lucy wasn't interested in David's little baby.

As for that aspect of Chaomeng who is in adolescence, it is normal to look at it.

"I said. You won't be doing that, right?"

But Lucy still felt amused seeing David's embarrassment in packing up his things.

The ruthless character killed by David is more than two hands at least. I have never seen him so nervous when fighting, but now... he is like a teenager who was suddenly broken into the room by his parents, and then hurriedly hid the little pornographic book and Prohibited items for teenagers as well.

"What?" David put away a violent Mewtwo, he would occasionally look at choking ones, but he just watched!He doesn't have that preference!
But this kind of thing is obviously not easy to explain, so when David hid this super dream, he even used Sian Weistein, for fear that Lucy would see the cover of the package.

Mann: You fucking use Sean Westin for this?

"Tell my sister, are you still a chick?" Lucy raised her eyebrows and asked.

David was taken aback for a moment, then reacted instantly, and retorted loudly: "How is it possible? I'm almost an adult, how could I be, would be."

"Tsk, this reaction, I guessed correctly."

"You, you!"

"Damn it, we're fighting!"

Outside, Jack's shout attracted the attention of Lucy and David. After looking at each other, they both got up and walked out.

David heaved a sigh of relief. If he wanted to continue talking about this topic, then he would really break his guard.

In the living room, Jack was pressing his big face against the glass window, looking down funnyly.

"Didn't it start at ten o'clock? It's still 15 minutes before ten o'clock!"

Jack yelled loudly.

David also poked his head to look, and saw a conflict broke out in a street not far away, but because it was a little far away, David couldn't see it very clearly.

Fortunately, Victor replaced the prosthetic eye for him. Therefore, David can clearly see the status quo in the distance by using the function of the prosthetic eye at this moment.

"Wait, those guys don't seem to be from the Valentino gang?" Jack said.

"It's Jack, they seem to be members of the Animal Gang." David said in surprise. He had dealt with people from the Animal Gang. This kind of guy with lumps of muscles and abnormally large physique was probably a member of the Animal Gang. !
"Animal Gang? Why did they come here? They even got into a fight with the Sixth Street Gang." Jack said puzzled.

"Wait, they don't want to come to fish in troubled waters, do they?" Jack suddenly reacted, clapping his hands vigorously, and he continued: "Heywood is guarded by the Valentino gang, there are many people, and they are united as one, so they are Don't dare go to Heywood."

"You mean, the Sixth Street Gang is protecting us now?" David asked.

"Protection? You're thinking too much." Lucy put her arm on David's shoulder and said lazily against him:

"In the eyes of the Sixth Street Gang, this street and the people on this street are nothing but their assets, so they are just protecting their assets from infringement."

"." David was silent.

asset?
He felt that what Lucy said was right, the gang graffiti of the Sixth Street Gang was all over the streets and alleys of Santo Domingo, and this area really belonged to the Sixth Street Gang.

"It's broken, there are people coming over there, David, look at the road over there, who is coming?" Jack reached out and patted David on the shoulder, motioning David to see who it was.

His prosthetic eye is not as advanced as David's, and he can only see a vague idea. After all, Jack doesn't have any money in his pocket. Although Mrs. Wells opened a bar in Heywood, the Wells family didn't care about it. Not rich, and one more thing, Jack would not ask Mrs. Wells for money.

So Jack is still using the old style prosthetic eye.

"It's the group of lunatics from the Maelstrom Gang." David looked over there, and there were many large cars driving on the road. In the window facing him, there was a person missing a face. Scary man with dangerous red light.

He was driving the car laughing wildly, behind the car were a group of lunatics from the Whirlpool Gang.

"The Maelstrom Gang is here too. The scavengers will definitely come anyway. I said, Santo Domingo is really not safe tonight." Jack said with his chest in his arms.

As he spoke, he glanced at Lin Wen, and it turned out that Lin Wen was sitting on the sofa side by side with Gloria, watching Stanley's late-night news show.

At this very moment, a Ph.D. calling for the protection of birds is being booed and thrown on stage.

"Have you forgotten about bird flu? Look down, Doctor, the people sitting here, they all have friends and family members who died in that disease, and now you want us to protect birds? Your body Could it be engine oil? How could you say such cold words?"

"No, Stanley, that's not what I meant. Listen to me, that epidemic has nothing to do with birds. Extincting birds like this will only cause greater damage to the ecology we live in. Believe me, I will investigate Yes, the epidemic"

"Shut up!" Stanley stepped on the table, pointed at the doctor's nose, and waved his arm: "You really turned a blind eye to this, didn't you doctor? Because you have no family members who died in that epidemic!"

"That's not the same thing at all!" cried the Doctor.

"There's a fight outside, how can they watch the news with peace of mind?" Jack smacked his mouth, and the desire to share disappeared instantly.

"People from the Sixth Street Gang have started to withdraw. The members of the Maelstrom Gang and the Animal Gang are all lunatics. This street is going to suffer." Lowering her eyes, Lucy said affirmatively.

"Of course, the Sixth Street Gang is different from the Valentino Gang. For the sake of their families, the Valentino Gang can fight against demons, but what about the Sixth Street Gang?" Jack said proudly after hearing Lucy's words .

He was also a member of the Valentino gang, but even after leaving the gang now, Jack would introduce himself by saying: "I am the son of Heywood, a member of the Valentino gang, and my body is flowing." Legendary blood, the future great legend of Night City!"

Well, these are all his own words.

"Heywood's side should be fighting now, right?" David looked at Jack and said.

"Maybe, but I can't say for sure," Jack said.

Time passed bit by bit, and the three of David didn't move a step, just looking at the situation below.

Just as Lucy said, the Sixth Street Gang began to back down. After losing dozens of corpses, the Sixth Street Gang withdrew from the block and began to group together to guard other places, the place abandoned by the Sixth Street Gang , and naturally became a paradise for the Animal Gang and the Maelstrom Gang.

It was as if they had made a deal. When they met, the two gangs with different beliefs did not fight. Instead, they started to loot the neighborhood as if they had communicated well.

The iron door of the store was smashed by the rocket launcher, and the door of the convenience store was smashed, and these guys broke in.

"Why haven't the police come yet? It's been half an hour. It's impossible for the police not to have received the news." David said angrily as he watched this scene.

He wants to go out. He wants to do something. He has lived in this street for a while. When David goes to school every day, he will go to that convenience store to buy some food. The chubby white-bearded boss spoke a few words.

Are you familiar?
No.

But... more or less friendly.

David is a very emotional guy. If Lin Wen and Mann hadn't warned him to withdraw his sense of justice, he might have run out by now.

He is no longer the unarmed young man he used to be. Now he is wearing an advanced prosthetic body. Although he has not installed a weapon implant like Mann, David can easily kill the vicious gangster with just strength and guns. and mercenaries.

Fat Jesus Deshaun's bodyguard was killed by David twisting off his head.

"The police? Then you have to wait for them until the morning, and they won't come until the morning."

Jack sneered and said, "If this happened in Westbros, the police would arrive in 10 minutes, but this is Santo Domingo, an abandoned industrial area, understand David?
Whether it's Heywood or Santo Domingo, in the eyes of those bastards, the more dead people, the better. "

"Anyway, Night City has never been short of people, and people enter Night City every day."

David was silent.

The three of them stood quietly by the window, watching the gang members clean up a street.

"Hey, are those guys coming towards us now?" Jack asked suddenly.

David nodded.

There are a few lunatics from the Maelstrom Gang coming here. It seems that they are planning to go upstairs?
David clenched his fists, feeling more and more uncomfortable.

"Be honest, David, and get out of your way."

But at this moment, Lin Wen who was sitting on the sofa in the living room spoke.

David turned around and saw Lin Wen's back and his mother's worried eyes.

Gloria looked at David worriedly, and shook her head slightly at David.

Jack wanted to say something, but in the end, he just stretched out his big hand silently, and then patted David on the shoulder.

Lucy stood there looking at David's back and sighed secretly. During the time spent with David, Lucy became familiar with David's personality.

David is just a kid who doesn't know how to reject people, a kid who values ​​affection
Every morning when he came to look for David, when he went out, David would say hello to the surrounding neighbors. He had a good relationship with the old Johnson family next door.

Therefore, Lucy knew very well that if the lunatics of the Maelstrom Gang really came to this floor and then wanted to hurt the old Johnson family, David would definitely not be able to sit still.

He will definitely make a move.

And Gloria and Lin Wen are naturally aware of this.

This is why Lin Wen suddenly warned David.

Time passed little by little, and at this moment, gunshots could already be heard downstairs, as well as the laughter of madmen, as well as people's wailing and cries for help.

David finally couldn't bear it anymore, he walked behind Lin Wen, and said, "I didn't want to save everyone, I know I can't do it, but Lin Wen, the people in this building, the people in this apartment Can't I save them? I want to help them."

"Do you know what rules are?" Lin Wen said with his back to David.

"You shot and killed the people of the Maelstrom Gang, which will only lead to greater disasters, David, this area is all from the Sixth Street Gang, if you take action, what will the Sixth Street Gang think of you then? ? You think they appreciate you? No, they just see you as a threat."

"Whether it's the people from the Maelstrom Gang or the Animal Gang, I certainly believe that you have the ability to kill them, but how many can you kill? Can you kill them all? Do you know how many of them there are? And Have you ever thought about it? After you leave here, what if the gangsters come to retaliate? Or are you planning to be tied to this block?"

Lin Wen turned around and looked at David: "Don't be so naive, David, there are many things in this world that you can't help yourself."

The world is already a mess.

Lin Wen came all the way and saw it with his own eyes, the world really is rotten.

Rogge said he would make a move, but why should he make a move?

Just because I have met those people a few times, and then I want to make a move?
If that's the case, wouldn't Lin Wen have too many things to do?
There are so many people in need of help in this world, people are dying every day, how many people die in this building, isn't the world still running?
In Night City, who cares how many poor ghosts die?
But David looked at Lin Wen, the dead child was not angry, but said calmly:
"It's really strange that you always tell me these things, Lin Wen, you are so powerful, but you always hide yourself."

"Well, I don't want to know why you did that, but do you remember? I told you half a year ago that I became stronger so that I can live as I want, and I want to live freely. And now I have changed I'm strong, but why can't I do what I want to do?"

"Old Johnson gave me dinner, and you also ate the cake he made, did you forget? Can you really watch him die at the hands of the whirlpool gang?"

Just as Lin Wen wanted to open his mouth, he certainly wouldn't let old John Sun die, because Lin Wen thought the old man was quite interesting, and he dared to scold him when Rogge came in the morning.

The relationship is good, and Lin Wen is still willing to protect people he is familiar with.

But before Lin Wen could explain it, David said seriously again:
"Lin Wen, I think this world is not as bad as you think. You always think everything is too bad, but it's not that bad."

Lin Wen was taken aback suddenly, his pupils constricted
The world is not as bad as you think
What David said made Lin Wen suddenly think of someone.

An old man who has been dead for decades.
(I would like to be turned into fire, I would like to be turned into a rope, I would like to be burned to ashes, I would like to be broken in two)

(Damn child, this world is not as bad as you think. You always say that good people are dead, but there are still good people. Aren’t I a good person?)
Looking at David, Lin Wen seemed to have a shadow in front of him. He was standing beside David. He was wearing a police uniform, a felt hat on his head, and a pistol on his waist. He was shrugging to himself with a smile on his face. However, Lin Wen couldn't see his face clearly.

"Open the door, old man, I know you're here, didn't you fucking look at me just now!"

Suddenly, there was loud laughter outside the door.

It came from the aisle, and the voice was very hoarse, like a sound squeezed out of a throat.

David was startled. He looked at the silent Lin Wen and turned around suddenly.

Gloria reached out to grab David, but David had disappeared.

"This" Jack looked at the disappearing David, and immediately knew what happened.

David ran out with Sean Westin
On the other side, Lucy has already walked towards the door.

"Then what, Lin Wen, I'll go and see David for you. Don't worry, I will persuade him well." Jack coughed, and then ran out.

Lin Wen silently looked ahead, "."

"What's wrong with you?" Gloria looked at Lin Wen, it was the first time she saw Lin Wen look like that.

It seemed that she was sad, but she was relieved and moved. The way Lin Wen looked at David just now made Gloria panic when she first arrived. This is why Gloria couldn't stop David at the first time. .

This is also the first time Gloria has seen Lin Wen look like this
"At least I didn't lose."

"Rogge's fucking guess was wrong, it wasn't me who made the move, it was your son who made the move!"

"I didn't lose, I didn't lose anyway."

Lin Wen said cursing suddenly.

He also repeatedly emphasized, "Yes, I didn't lose. I'm not a nosy person. Roger thinks she knows me well?"

"She knows shit about her!"

Lin Wen took out a cigarette, and Gloria silently accompanied Lin Wen.

Lin Wen lit a cigarette and put it on his lips. After a while, he stretched out his hand and shook his head vigorously. Lin Wen couldn't sit still.

A hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and Lin Wen finally made a phone call.

Well, fuck you old man. You have been dead for almost 40 years, why are you still pestering me?

I already burned down a city for you!
What else do you want from me?
Do you really want Lao Tzu to inherit your will and become a good person?

I don't have that much free time!

I just want to live a good life
I.
Well, well. Who told me to owe you?

Just keep pestering me for the rest of your life, old man!
lifetime
"Hey, Lin Wen, what's the matter?"

"Mann, call all your people, come to Santo Domingo now, the place is my house."

Lin Wen closed his eyes.

"Something needs to be done"

------

That show about Stanley and the Doctor, the dialogue is horrifying to think about!
Plague, death, bird flu, it is illegal to sell poultry meat in Night City, but you can eat chicken in Pacific Island outside the jurisdiction of Night City, so the so-called bird flu.
I didn’t write this paragraph scribbled, it’s the news that the elevator appeared in the game. Stanley incited the public’s emotions and prevented the doctor from speaking.

Guys, Stanley is backed by a big corporation.
Ps: I didn’t want to update after Jingdong lost. After all, I am an old LOL game fan, but thinking of being in Sanjiang now, let’s be honest
