Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past

Chapter 51 Nightmare
When did it become extremely difficult to even open your eyes?

She gritted her teeth, and rushed towards the thin eyelids with all her strength. After running in the darkness for a long while, she finally found a gap of light.

"Are you awake?" In the dimness, she heard the girl's joyful voice.

"...Water..." She tried her best to open her mouth, but she couldn't make any sound. She just opened and closed it in vain, until she was exhausted, and then forced out the deepest plea from the depths of her soul.

"Here, I know you're about to wake up, so I've prepared warm water for you in advance." The girl with ponytails opened her red pupils, and carefully brought the water glass to her lips.

She didn't have the strength to thank her anymore, she just opened her mouth greedily, drinking the spring of life with the help of the red-eyed girl.

After drinking the water, she slumped back on the bed again. The unfamiliar feeling of powerlessness accompanied by labor pains eroded her scarred heart all the time.

After a long delay, after the one hundred and eighth breath, she regained the ability to speak.

"Thank you... Rebecca." She looked at the white ceiling silently, and she regained the ability to speak every word.

"It's okay... Sasha, the doctor said you're doing well..."

"How long has it been?" Sasha interrupted Rebecca's comforting words, but asked softly, her voice still hoarse.

"Seven days... After you got off the roof of that empty floating car, you were in a coma for seven days..." Rebecca sat by the bed, holding Sasha's pale hands, warming her wandering heart with her own .

"News... the report about Securicine, have you seen it?" Sasha suddenly grabbed Rebecca's arm and asked excitedly.

"I see, Sasha...you did it." Rebecca moved to Sasha's side, hugged the sick girl's slender body tightly, and gently patted her back with both hands, soothing her like a wave. surging emotions.

"Hmm..." After getting the answer he dreamed of, Sasha showed a sincere and happy smile after many days.

"Biological technology has suffered a major blow, the original allies have abandoned him, and enemy companies have also stepped up to make trouble...Sasha, you must live well and witness with your own eyes the day when this shameless and abominable beast will die completely. Okay? Promise me!" Rebecca tightly grasped those fragile white hands, for fear that Sasha would suddenly have the idea of ​​committing suicide when he learned that the revenge had been avenged.

"Don't worry... I'm not that fragile, just paralyzed..." Sasha smiled softly, and the illusion of losing her legs couldn't destroy her increasingly tough heart.

"The doctor said... it can be treated, don't worry too much... Mann has already gone to find a way."

"Hmm..." Sasha nodded, relaxed in one breath, and immediately slumped against Rebecca weakly.

"Sasha... just rest for a while, I will always be with you." Rebecca whispered, kicked off the shoes on her feet, got into the bed, hugged Sasha's soft body tightly, The heat of my whole body was used to give her infinite tenderness.

"Ah."

Sasha responded in a low voice, closed her eyes gently, curled up, and hid in the warm embrace of the short Rebecca.

Just like many years ago, she was lying in the arms of her mother on the hospital bed, happily spending her birthday.

Warm currents gushed out from the heart and were sent to the whole body along the blood vessels. The warm feeling made her fall asleep comfortably.

"Good night, Sasha." Rebecca looked at Sasha who had fallen asleep, her eyes filled with delicate tenderness.

In order to pay for expensive medical expenses, Mann has been running around for the past week, frantically following various commissions.

Right now, a huge list is in front of him, and he is eager to find the cooperation of other reliable teams.

Rebecca sighed, lying on the bed, staring at the pure white ceiling, dazed.

"This is really like a cold snow field, just like this **** world, ruthless."

Mann pointed to the snow-white ceiling above his head, gulping down beer.

"Mann, drink less." The burly woman sitting beside him frowned, and snatched most of the remaining wine bottle from Mann's hand.

"Because it's not the appointed time, you should take a close look and stop drinking."

"Dorio, you understand... For me, drinking is a way to relax."

Dorio didn't speak, but just stared at the burly man beside him coldly.

Looking through the barrier of the layer of sunglasses, one can vaguely feel the endless tiredness and self-blame in the man's eyes.

"Alas..." She sighed, and pulled Mann down forcefully, letting him lie down on her lap.

"Take a break, Mann, drink this bottle of wine after you wake up." Dorio's heart softened after all, and her tone softened a little.

"Ah."

Mann resisted the severe pain from deep in his brain, and slowly closed his eyes.

He didn't sleep well.

The nerves in the brain were whipped one by one, as if a little ghost from hell had penetrated into the brain, laughing wildly, while plucking the strings indiscriminately, playing a bloody movement that is unbearable for human beings.

Perhaps the excess alcohol had played a role, and the kid left with a foolish smile.

After a few seconds of silence, an invisible poisonous scorpion emerged from the folds of the brain.

It clings to the flesh wall with the sharp toes, starts from the brain, and swims through his whole body.

The poisonous needle on the tail swung, following the forward pace, piercing the nerve network of Mann's whole body one by one.

The successive torments made him frown, struggling feebly in his sleep.

He wanted to roar, but couldn't make a sound.

He wanted to raise the cannon on his arm and fire into the endless darkness, but found that his limbs had disappeared without a trace.

He wanted to open his eyes and look directly at the fear, but saw the empty back of his head.

His eyes were tightly closed, but countless pairs of eyes opened slowly all over his body.

The endless anger and self-blame accumulated in his heart suddenly burst out at this moment, and his remnant body was blown away.

As if he had lost gravity, he flew to infinite heights.

About to pierce the wet clouds.

Realizing this, he excitedly kissed the disappearing cloud.

It's time to pierce the darkness.

He chewed the remaining clouds, thinking happily.

His remnant body flew like this, until it reached space, and saw a dazzling light.

"you're awake?"

In a trance, Mann heard a man greeting softly.

"What happened to him just now? His whole body was twitching non-stop, and the prosthetic body was out of control." A familiar female voice expressed concern and asked eagerly.

"He almost went crazy."

"That's why you asked me to give him medicine?"

"Correct."

"I owe you a favor."

Mann struggled a few times, followed the guidance of the voice, and floated towards the bright place.

He woke up.
