Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past

Chapter 80 Kite
The long golden hair was scattered on the bed, like algae floating on the water, dyed golden by the hot sun.

She stared at the pale ceiling indifferently, silently like a cold corpse.

"Hello, Sophia? This is Bonnie... Are you okay? No one answered your phone... Please call me back..."

The voice message echoed several times in the dead air, finally awakening her from the deepest confusion.

"Bonnie?"

In the end, still unable to resist the sweet voice that kept repeating, her white hands groped around the bed, and found the cell phone that kept vibrating.

As a result, hoarse whispers poured out with difficulty from his thirsty throat.

"Sophia! What's wrong with you these two days? You can't go to school, and you don't answer the phone... What happened?!"

The sincere concern that covered the head and face engulfed Sophia in an instant like a storm.

She frowned, and her fingers gently stirred the strands of golden hair scattered on the pillow.

"It's nothing serious... just... broken love." Sophia hesitated for a while, and she didn't reveal the truth until the breathing on the other end of the phone became more and more rapid.

"That uncle?"

"Um……"

"Aren't you online dating?"

"Actually, I just communicated with him on the phone..." Sophia slowly sat up from the bed, twisting her limbs, moving her stiff muscles and bones.

"Uh..." Bonnie was silent, her breath seemed to be holding her breath, and she seemed to be brewing emotions.

After a while, she still gave up the words she was about to blurt out, and just sighed deeply.

"Although I know this is your first love, but it's too..." Bonnie said hesitantly, trying hard to search every fold of the cerebral cortex, but still couldn't find a suitable word to describe it.

"Cough...what's the matter?" Sophia lowered her head and coughed while keeping the phone a little away from herself, and continued to ask Bonnie after cleaning up the dirt accumulated in her throat.

"You are too... innocent."

"Innocence? It's the first time I've heard someone put this kind of vocabulary on my head."

Sophia got out of bed, bent down to pick up the drink bottle that was thrown at the foot of the bed before, unscrewed the bottle cap, and drank in big gulps.

Sufficient moisture recalled the vitality of her body, and the shadow of two days of silence seemed to disappear in a blink of an eye.

"Never met before, the only communication is the occasional phone call... Inexplicably fell in love, inexplicably lost in love... Shut yourself at home alone..." Bonnie's tone revealed helplessness, "What kind of little girl are you? ?"

"Haven't you never been in a relationship? How can you be so sensible when you say it?" Sophia responded sullenly, picking up the clothes thrown on the ground and putting them on.

"I've never eaten pork, and I've seen pigs run!" Bonnie pinched her nose and imitated the cute cry of a suckling pig, which almost made Sophia laugh.

"So... why did you lose your relationship?" After all, even if she was not optimistic about Sophia's relationship, as her best friend, Bonnie felt that she should do her due duty.

"Probably... two days ago... After the kidnapping case, I suddenly couldn't get in touch with uncle..." Sophia glanced at the clock beside the bed, her lonely self-isolation made her almost forget the time.

"And then? No more?" Bonnie asked in surprise.

"...the two of us... I always take the initiative to contact, but as long as I call him, no matter what he is doing, he will answer, no matter day or night..." Understand what Bonnie is surprised, Sophia Frowning, he explained intermittently, "Our relationship... is like flying a kite. He and I are always connected by a thread, no matter how far apart we are."

"So now the kite is disconnected... Is it completely lost?"

"Um……"

"Did he tell you to break up or something?"

"Actually...I haven't confessed to him...Maybe I just fell in love with him one-sidedly..." Sophia walked to the bathroom with heavy steps, staring at the delicate face in the mirror that was much haggard.

"..." Bonnie took a few deep breaths, but unfortunately the timing was not right, otherwise she would have woken up this stupid woman, Sophia.

"What does he do?" After a few seconds, Bonnie calmed down and continued to ask.

"He said... he was a secret agent?" Sophia said uncertainly. She had never taken what the uncle said seriously before, but this was the only information she could provide.

"I'll find it for you, Sophia...no matter who he is..." Bonnie whispered, this silly girlfriend who was in love really broke her heart, "Remember to come to school tomorrow...or I'll go in person Your family is looking for you!"

"Thanks... Bonnie." Sophia thanked softly, and then hung up the hot phone under Bonnie's urging.

Maybe Bonnie was right... she was too simple, too stupid.

Sophia looked at the top number in the address book and was silent for a long time.

Until the cold moonlight seeped through the gap between the curtains.

Sophia threw the phone back on the bed and walked to the bathroom, intending to wash up and wash away the past.

On the way, she walked through the familiar passage from the bedroom to the bathroom as usual, until she glimpsed an unfamiliar object around the corner.

It was a palm-sized thing, the whole body was roughly black, with some stitching marks, it looked like an ugly doll.

Sophia thought, bent down and picked it up from the ground.

It's not a doll, that cold feeling in the hand, is it... a robot?

Sophia played with the little robot, looking back and forth carefully.

Wide body, short limbs, small head, traces of various manual repairs, like a strange robot pieced together by someone from a pile of scrap iron.

"Hey, who are you?"

Subconsciously, she spoke to the ugly little robot.

"Hello……"

As if hearing her voice, the robot suddenly came to life, and blue light came out of its two small eyes.

"I *!" Sophia was startled by the robot that suddenly started to move in her hand, and subconsciously let go of her palm, and the little robot fell to the ground like this.

"Are you okay?" She quickly squatted down, picked up the little robot, and checked whether it was broken.

"You...good..." The little robot still repeated, making an emotionless voice from the cold iron sheet.

Shouldn't it be broken?
Sophia breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and tried to talk to the little robot.

"Hello! My name is Sophia."

"You...well..." The little robot turned his head, his blue eyes flickered, "Soph... Ya."

They can actually communicate!
Sophia raised her eyebrows in surprise, and didn't intend to take a bath anymore. She carried the little robot and walked back to the bedroom quickly.
