Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past

Chapter 11 Securicine ([-])

When you wake up, your body suddenly doesn't work.

Hands, arms, legs, feet... none of it is yours.

What happens when consciousness and body are separated?
Trying to do something, but totally confused.

Watching the body perform comedy like a clown.

Trying to get up, but jumping up; trying to go to the bathroom, but bumping into the wall; brushing teeth, the toothbrush stuck in the throat...

Strange, why doesn't it hurt?
who am I?
Is the person in the mirror me?
Why can't I control my body?

Is it me in the mirror?or it?

Relax, Phoenix, take it easy...

Everything will pass, wait, wait slowly

It will be fine in no time, just wait.

everything will pass...

can you?

will not.

I will.

Will do.

Numbness, loss of consciousness, loss of body.

Do not believe, try everything, return to normal life.

Wanting to yell, wanting to run away, but my body didn't respond.

How futile.

Watch the body go to the normal world.

His own consciousness stayed in place.

Think of the beauty of the past, hate everything in the present.

"Good morning, Doctor Phoenix!"

who is it?

why are you laughing
Are you laughing at me?
Is this a gun?
I seem to be able to move?

The trigger can be pulled.

I move!
Hahahaha!

what……

"I*!" Xita disconnected, collapsed on the seat, breathing heavily, "It's so fucking weird!"

"Take a breath, little girl," the woman with the blue-purple punk hair patted Xita's slender hand lightly, "This kind of super dream just extracted from the cyber maniac is too exciting for you I don't know what Regina Jones thinks..."

"I asked for it..." Xita rubbed the center of her brows, her tone was weak, "I want to solve the case so much, so I asked Regina to ask Judy for help..."

"Ha!" Judy Alvarez rubbed her shoulders and sighed softly, "Thanks to the biochip in the back of your head, otherwise even I cannot guarantee that you will be able to escape from that madman's senses." .”

Yawei saved herself again, Xita silently counted in her heart, scolding herself for being too reckless.

"What's the situation? Why did that black doctor named Phoenix suddenly go crazy?" Judy hugged Xita and put her on the soft sofa beside her.

"The body and the consciousness are separated..." Xi Tan lay on the sofa, the light above his head was a little dazzling, "His humanity was swallowed by despair, and finally he went crazy..."

"But it's not clear why the consciousness and body are separated, is it?" Judy poured her a drink.

"I'll contact Regina Jones first," Xi Tan took the drink and opened the contact interface with Regina.

"Hello? Ms. Xita Kasdey, are you all right, do you have any new discoveries?"

"I'll send you the super dream experience report of the cyberpsychopath 'Phoenix'." Xita paused, thinking about any possible clues, "Have your people checked all the items left at the scene?"

"The murder weapon was an old-fashioned prelude pistol, and the samurai sword was used to cut up the body," Regina cursed in a low voice, "the blade is curled, damn it!"

"anything else?"

"A stack of euros, pornographic magazines, Heichaomeng, several surgical prosthetic equipment, and many bottles of medicine."

"Ask her what kind of medicine it is, Xita." Yawei also sat on the sofa, giving the girl in his arms a sense of security with a hugging gesture.

"Medicine? What medicine?"

"The painkiller Securicine, an over-the-counter drug, produced by biotechnology," Regina seemed to be flipping through the information, and said word by word, "It also has the FDA certification mark, so there should be no problem in terms of safety."

"Intuition tells me that there is definitely something wrong with this medicine." Xi Tan replied, feeling better.

"I thought so too, but unfortunately, we need evidence," Regina replied helplessly, "That's all for today, thank you for your help Xita Kasdei, the money has been transferred, and, Listen to Ms. Judy Alvarez's advice more, she is the best dream expert in Night City, let her help you check if there are any sequelae..."

Roger was right, Regina was indeed a warm-hearted person.Xi Tan looked at the call interface that had been hung up, and rubbed his dizzy head.

"Lie down for a while, Xita" Judy listened to the whole process without saying a word, "I'll take you back later."

"Thanks, Judy..." Xita lay in Yawei's arms, his shallow breathing seemed to surround her ears, she was extremely at ease.

"By the way, Judy, check that painkiller for me, it's called Securicine."

"OK, OK, take a good rest, our busy lady Xita Kasdey." Judy agreed angrily, turned her head and began to search on the computer.

"It's time to redefine the nature of pain... When we live with pain, we are not living who we really are... Pain blocks our ability to think, feel, and even love..."

"Judy, what's this?"

"The biotech company's promotional video about the painkiller Securicine sounds like that, right?" Judy took the computer and sat next to Xita.

"On News Channel 54?" Xi Tan glanced at the lower left corner of the promotional video.

"what happened?"

"The news behind channel 54 is military technology." Following Yawei's reminder in his ear, Xita frowned, thinking about various possibilities.

"You mean that military technology and biotechnology are colluding secretly?" Judy clapped her palms, stood up from the sofa and paced back and forth, "This is a big deal... Sure enough, the big companies are all the same!"

"Good job, Hita," Judy didn't ask Hita for the information.

To work in Night City, you can't do without a few brushes.

"Regina will be very happy to know... But now, I will take you home, and I will do things tomorrow!"

"Okay Judy..." Xi Tan wanted to refuse, but her head was still dizzy and it was difficult to stand still, so she had to let Judy help her into the car.

"address?"

"Super Skyscraper H4."

"Is it possible to move after this order is finished?" Judy joked and started the car.

"I don't want to move out yet, there is a family there who is kind to me, I have to help them." Xi Tan sat in the back seat, pouted her lips.Yahweh was next to her with his eyes closed.

"Wow, good job, Xiao Xita!" Judy nodded, deliberately slowing down the speed of the car, letting Xita take a good rest.

Judy can't see through Xita Kasdeyi, she feels as special as a princess in a storybook or an angel in a religious legend.

But in Night City, special people usually don't end well.

Judy looked at Xita who had fallen asleep in the rearview mirror, "May God bless you, little girl." She whispered softly.

Yawei closed his eyes and smiled.
