Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past

"Let's go, Xida."

In the breeze, Yahweh whispered to the girl.

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

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

The sun was shining brightly, but she was cold all over.

"Every speck of dust from the times is like a big mountain when it falls on a person's head... I can blow away these dust for you, hope, just like this wind." He whispered, gently blowing her away. Loose hair tied together.

The guardrails of the rooftop swayed here and there, one after another, being pulled down by the increasingly violent wind.

"Did you save him?"

"An awakened intelligent robot is very interesting."

"I thought he was an AI escaping from the Black Wall."

“He was a pioneer in a sense.”

"Pioneer?..."

Xi Tao murmured, standing on the edge of the rooftop, looking at the noisy ocean below.

Sirens, screams, interviews, gasps... all kinds of noises are mixed together, evenly stirred together, dripping 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?" Yahweh 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..." Heda smiled and gave up asking further. He just turned around, hugged Yahweh, and buried his body in his warm arms.

"Let's go?"

"Um."

She responded gently, letting the singing wind take away all her worries.

"heard?"

"Kidnapping downtown?"

"Yes, that's it. I heard that two students in our school were also kidnapped..."

"very scary……"

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

"I heard they are two girls?"

"How could someone kidnap them for no reason? They must be acting inappropriately outside, right?"

"That makes sense..."

David frowned, feeling dizzy from the talkative flies.

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

"Go to the bathroom." David waved his hand behind him and quickly left Kuo Noisy's classroom.

There are always people whose rectum is connected to their brains, and their mouths are filled with filth.

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

He raised his head and stared at the boy in the mirror, his pupils tightened and his internal organs felt cold.

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

Gloria worked hard to support him in school, and he couldn't just burn everything down with anger so easily.

David took a deep breath and left the toilet with heavy steps.

Before the bell rang for class, he sprinted towards the classroom.

Sister Xida once told him that running can make the soul that has nowhere to vent roar silently.

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

Walking through the deserted corridor and back to the classroom, a burst of thunder fell one after another behind him.

"David?"

"It's okay." He breathed and replied slowly.

"Ding!"

The class bell rang.

2074, January 18, 18:00

"Ding……"

Lucy gently pressed the elevator button.

She put on her hood, hiding her beautiful face in the shadows.

There happened to be a news channel 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 died on duty, and there were also 15 violent terrorists. Mobile team members...three special snipers...all died gloriously..."

"Kangtao Company claimed that terrorists had hacked into their armed robots. Among them, robot No. 003 got out of control... and successfully killed its out-of-control companion... Currently, the whereabouts of the robot are unknown... Please be careful when traveling and pay attention to safety. , if you encounter a dangerous situation, please call the NCPD hotline in time..."

These big companies always have the ability to confuse right and wrong.

Lucy fiddled with a few strands of hair hanging out of her hood and sighed softly.

Because she heard that someone had accepted the commission to "catch subway thieves", she didn't go out all day today.

My stomach was already growling in dissatisfaction.

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

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

She rubbed her chin, planning to make do with it tonight.

"Ding!"

The elevator has arrived.

Lucy stepped out of the elevator, and the howling wind brushed past her, teasingly smearing her hair in her face.

"Lucy?"

A familiar voice came to my ears.

Lucy pushed aside her disheveled hair and saw the beautiful girl leaning next to her, with a reassuring smile on her face.

"Is 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..."

"Just in time, let's go have a barbecue together after we're done. Here, I'll give this to you, so you can rest your stomach first."

"Gummy bears?" Lucy looked at the small bag of gummy bears in her hand, a little surprised.

"Strawberry flavor..." Xi Da 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."

"Who do you need to meet so formally?"

"Oh, we're just traveling together. Just the dress we bought together last time... yes, just that one. If you don't go... don't blame me for knocking on your door!" Xi Da dragged Lucy into the elevator without any explanation. , leaving Yahweh where he is.

Yahweh looked at the growing numbers on the display and sighed softly.

The last pack of jellybeans was snatched from his pocket.

He curled his lips, 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 punk hair ran to Yawei panting, his sore muscles contracting together, making him bend over in embarrassment.

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

"for you."

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

"I'm going home to change my clothes. We're going to meet some friends later... Do you want to go?"

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

Yahweh thought for a few seconds and nodded.

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

"Thank you, brother-in-law... should I leave first?"

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

It is a good thing that young people love sports.

Yahweh didn't ask too much, just watched the boy's back running away.

Join a group of ducks!
