Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past

Chapter 48 The Human World (Ⅰ)
"Let's go, Shita."

In the breeze, Yahweh whispered to the girl.

The silver hair brushed against his face, leaving only the fragrance and polite refusal.

"If I hadn't met you, would I have been like them, unable to control my fate?"

The sun was just right, but she was cold all over.

"Every dust of the times, falling on a person's head is like a mountain...I can blow these dusts away for you, Xita, just like the wind." He said softly, gently blowing her away by the wind Loose hair tied together.

The guardrails on the roof swayed from side to side, and one after another, they were forcefully pulled down by the gradually manic wind.

"You saved him?"

"An awakened intelligent robot is very interesting."

"I thought he was an AI fleeing outside the black wall."

"In a sense, he was a pioneer."

"Pioneer?..."

Xita murmured, standing on the edge of the roof, looking at the noisy ocean below.

Police sirens, screams, interviews, gasps... All kinds of noises are mixed, evenly stirred together, dripped with dark red blood, dotted with scarlet light, and blended into a glass of strong wine from hell.

This taste is disgusting.

"Are you sympathizing with him?"

"Sympathy?" Yawei held her cold hand and slowly shook his head, "I'm just a little surprised that flowers of humanity can bloom on this cold mechanical branch."

"Ha..." Xi Tan smiled, gave up continuing to ask, just turned around, hugged Yawei, and buried her body in his warm embrace.

"Let's go?"

"Ah."

She responded gently, letting the gust of singing away all her troubles.

"heard?"

"A kidnapping in the city center?"

"Yes, that's the one. I heard that two students from our school were also kidnapped..."

"very scary……"

"It's so annoying. After this incident, the school will definitely not allow us to leave the school during lunch break..."

"I heard it was two girls?"

"How could others kidnap them for no reason? They must have been disorderly outside, right?"

"It makes sense..."

David frowned. The talkative flies made him a little dizzy.

"Eh? David, class is about to start, where are you going?"

"Go to the toilet." David waved his hands behind him, and quickly left the noisy classroom.

There are always people whose rectum leads to the brain, spouting filth from their mouths.

David turned on the faucet and washed the burning fire in his heart with clean water.

He raised his head and stared fixedly at the boy in the mirror, his pupils constricted, and his internal organs were icy cold.

"Calm down...David...Calm down." He gritted his teeth hard and paused every word, as if he wanted to nail every word he said to the wall.

Gloria had worked so hard to support him in school, and he couldn't just burn it all down with rage.

David took a deep breath and plodded away from the toilet.

Before the bell rang for the start of class, he sprinted toward the classroom with his head buried.

Sister Xita once told him that running can make the soul that has nowhere to vent, let out a silent roar.

So the frequency of his alternating legs became faster and faster.

Passing through the deserted corridor and returning to the classroom, a burst of thunder fell behind him one by one.

"David?"

"It's okay." He panted and answered slowly.

"Ding!"

The bell for class rang.

"Ding……"

Lucy gently pressed the elevator button.

She put on her hood, hiding her pretty face in shadows.

The news channel happened to be playing in the elevator.

"Good evening! Night City! According to preliminary statistics, this vicious kidnapping case in the city center resulted in a total of 88 deaths... Among them, 45 NCPD members who rushed to the scene were killed, and 15 other violent terrorists Mobile team members... 3 special snipers... all sacrificed with honor..."

"Kangtao Company claims that terrorists have hacked into their armed robots. Among them, robot No. 003 got out of control...successfully beheaded the out-of-control companion...At present, the whereabouts of the robot are unknown...Please be careful when traveling, citizens, and pay attention to safety , in case of a dangerous situation, please call the NCPD hotline in time..."

These big companies always have the ability to turn black and white.

Lucy fiddled with the few strands of hair protruding from the hood, and sighed softly.

She didn't go out all day today because she heard that someone had accepted the commission of "catching subway thieves".

His stomach was already growling with dissatisfaction.

Through the thick sports sweater, Lucy touched her sunken stomach.

Fortunately, there are hawkers setting up snack stalls downstairs 24 hours a day.

She rubbed her chin, planning to deal with it tonight.

"Ding!"

The elevator has arrived.

Lucy stepped out of the elevator, and the howling wind brushed by, teasingly, sticking her hair to her face.

"Lucy?"

A familiar voice came from the ear.

Lucy pushed back her loose hair, and saw a beautiful girl next to her with a reassuring smile on her face.

"Is there something wrong?" Lucy asked, glancing at the man standing not far away from the corner of her eye.

"Come with us and introduce some people to you."

"No, I haven't eaten yet..."

"It's just right, let's go to have a barbecue together after we're done, here, this is for you, first to pad your stomach."

"Gummy bears?" Lucy looked at the bulging packet of jellybeans in her hand, a little astonished.

"Strawberry flavor..." Xi Tan smiled and hugged her arm, revealing two round dimples.

Lucy raised her eyebrows, and silently put the candy into her pocket.

"Let's go, let's go back and change clothes."

"What kind of person do you need to be so formal?"

"Oh, it's just a trip together, just the dress we bought together last time... yes, just that set. If you don't go... don't blame me for knocking on your door!" Xi Tan dragged Lucy into the elevator without any explanation , leave Yahweh where he is.

Yawei looked at the increasing numbers on the display and sighed softly.

The last bag of fudge in the pocket of his clothes was also snatched.

He pouted, ran to the nearby vending machine, bought a few more bags and put them in his pocket.

"Brother-in-law?"

"David? Why did you come back so early today?"

The big boy with the punk head ran to Yawei's side panting, his sore muscles contracted together, causing him to bend over in a bit of embarrassment.

Yawei raised his eyebrows and bought an extra bottle of sports drink.

"Give you."

"Thanks, brother-in-law." David took the cold drink and sipped it. "Where's my sister?" He took a breath, and then asked.

"Go home and change clothes, we're going to meet some friends later... are you going?"

"I won't bother you..." David touched the back of his head, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said slowly, "Tomorrow night, are you and sister free? I have something to talk to you about."

Yawei thought for a few seconds, then nodded.

"Okay, I'll talk to her later and wait for you tomorrow night."

"Thank you, brother-in-law...then I'll go first?"

David heaved a sigh of relief, waved to Yawei, turned around and ran towards the stairs.

It is a good thing that young people love sports.

Yawei didn't ask too much, but just watched the boy running away from the back.

　Add ducks!
