Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past

Chapter 121 Doubt

"Are you hungry?"

He opened his eyes in a daze, and vaguely felt someone pushing his body gently.

"Mom? I fell asleep?" David wiped his eyes with his hand.

"You were like this when you were a child. You liked to sleep when you were in the car." Gloria smiled and combed David's somewhat messy hair with her fingertips.

"The main thing is to turn on the air conditioner, it's quite warm..." David sniffed hard.

"Are you awake now?" Gloria pinched her son's face, "Now you can answer Mom."

"Ah? Oh... I'm fine, I'm not too hungry." David shook his head. He had just woken up with a sore back and a sore back, and he couldn't raise his appetite at all.

"That's it..." Gloria nodded, and quietly moved her hand on her belly to another place, "Then let's go home directly?"

"Let's buy something to eat..." David breathed out, "Just my mother's favorite ramen."

"Then I'll go shopping first, you wait for me in the car for a while."

"Okay—" David replied with a long tail, and he sighed quietly until he watched his mother get out of the car.

If he hadn't been paying attention to every minute movement of Gloria, maybe she would spend the night hungry again tonight.

He had noticed this situation several times in the past.

David thought for a while, and hit the car door with his head.

"Waiter, add soup to table 11!"

"Come right away!" Pearl wiped the sweat from his forehead, hurried to the back kitchen, and brought out a pot of hot water.

"Please use it slowly..." While maintaining a polite smile, she dragged the bottom of the pot intently and poured it into the vegetable soup.

"Thank you..." the red-haired woman thanked her.

Pearl didn't bother to answer, just nodded and hurried to other tables.

"Pearl! Come here..."

It was Mr. Zhao, the store manager, who was calling her.

"Come right away!" Pearl responded, put down the work in hand, turned around and walked to the lounge in the store.

She murmured a little in her heart, and pushed open the wooden door bravely.

"Master Zhao, do you have anything to do with me?"

"Sit down first..."

Store Manager Zhao pointed to the sofa beside him, his tone was flat, it seemed that it was not the worst situation she expected.

"Oh..." Pearl nodded, and obediently sat aside.

The comfortable and soft touch of the high-end sofa captured her limp body all at once, and her body, which had been tensed for a long time, finally got a little relaxation.

Pearl subconsciously narrowed her eyes comfortably, and it took half a second before she realized her gaffe and negligence.

"I'm sorry... Zhao..."

She stood up quickly, and just about to bow and apologize, she was stopped by store manager Zhao.

"Don't be nervous, Pearl..." Manager Zhao smiled kindly, "You have performed well these few days... I can consider formally applying for you..."

"Thank you, shopkeeper!"

Pearl happily pinches her thigh hard, to make sure this isn't just a dream.

"But..." Store Manager Zhao stroked his thinning hair, "There is a condition you must know..."

"Any conditions are fine! I believe the store manager will not harm me!"

"No, don't worry, Pearl... Read this contract... If you really agree, sign it... If you don't agree, it's because you've worked hard these days and haven't made any mistakes ..."

"How could I refuse!" Pearl excitedly interrupted the store manager's admonition, reached for the data chip placed on the table, and inserted it directly into the neck interface.

A huge amount of data rushed into her mind, and her crowded brain was aching.

Pearl was a little dazzled, even when she was working in the company before, she had never seen such a massive amount of information.

For no reason, a faint premonition arose in her heart.

"It's snowing..." Yawei glanced out the window.

"Where is it? Let me see!" Xi Tan hurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, without even caring to wipe off the greasy corners of his mouth, he lay on his boyfriend's body and looked out of the foggy window.

"It's really..." With his forehead pressed against the cold glass, V, who was also by the window, lowered his head and looked up at the sky.

Against the pitch-black background tone, those tiny white dots scattered here and there are extremely conspicuous.

"It's snowing..." Jill felt a little emotional, "It feels like I haven't built a snowman for a long time..."

"Lucy, Lucy!" Xita shook Lucy who was silently eating slices of winter melon, "How about we go build a snowman tomorrow?"

"Too childish, I don't want to go...to find your boyfriend, he will definitely be willing to accompany you." Lucy shook her head, as if she didn't seem to be very cold.

"After it snowed, I suddenly felt cold..." Melissa looked up at the slender white elves spiraling down little by little, and whispered to Rottweiler behind her.

"When the snow melts in the morning, it will be even colder..." Rottweiler put his hands in his pockets and shrunk his head, but there was no trace of fear of the cold on his face.

Two people eating hot pot is much faster than a dinner party with many people.

It was only an hour before and after, and she and Rottweiler had already paid their bills and left with their stomachs full.

"What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking, it would be nice if we come out to have a hot pot meal when there are a lot of people..." Melissa sighed, "The other tables seemed to have been eating for a long time before we came, and after we left, they were still there." Adding food...it's just...very lively."

"Melissa..." Rottweiler shook the snow-white drops on the tip of the red hair, and spit out a mouthful of light mist.

"We won't make the same mistakes again, right?" Melissa turned her head, stared into Rottweiler's eyes, and asked softly.

"Try your best..." Rottweiler took the initiative to look away and replied ambiguously.

"Forget it..." Melissa shook her head, "So are we going back to the new safe house now?"

"Although I also want to go back and take a comfortable hot bath, but it's a pity..." Rottweiler handed his mobile phone to Melissa.

"What is this? A wanted warrant?" Melissa raised her eyebrows. It was the first time she had seen such a novel thing with her own eyes. "What does it mean?"

"Special ciphertext... It seems that this time the matter is not simple..." Rottweiler took back the mobile phone, typing characters on the notepad of the mobile phone while speaking, translating the information word by word.

"It looks so complicated, should I learn it too?"

"You don't need it when I'm here, but one day I'm not here, you have to stay up late to study..."

"Bah, bah, bah... don't say unlucky things..." Melissa pinched Rottweiler's waist, but unfortunately, someone was not ticklish at all, "So what are you looking for? Cyber ​​lunatic again?"

"It's just that we need to cooperate with the operation and have a special person in charge of the search?" Rottweiler frowned. The terrorist mobile team has always been an independent department. unheard of.
