Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past

After arriving in the City of Night, Shida Kasdeyi couldn't remember how long it had been since he slept peacefully until dawn.

She was afraid, afraid of falling asleep alone and never being able to open her eyes again.

She has not yet repaid her debts to Rogge and Gloria; she has not yet realized her dream of becoming a legend in Night City; she dreams of the blood feud that destroyed her family and her family and vowed to recover them one by one...

At only 18 years old, she carries a lot of weight, but fortunately she is no longer alone.

Xi Da opened his eyes and saw the sun.

Yahweh was sitting at the head of her bed, his eyes closed, and his side face reminded her of the statue of God she had seen in church when she was a child.

"Good morning, Xida," he said, his voice soft, like a naughty Cupid using a golden feather to tickle her heart.

"...Good morning...Yahweh..." Xi Dao was stunned for a while before answering in a hoarse voice.

"Have you caught a cold?" He was concerned, lowering his head and getting close to her face, his beautiful blue eyes flashing with a light she couldn't understand.

"No..." Xida shook his head, broke free from the embrace of the quilt, jumped up from the bed, put on his slippers, and ran to the sink to wash up.

Yahweh smiled and watched her fleeing back.

Xi Ta was washing up at the sink, and the girl in the mirror had a peach-like face. She made a funny face at herself and almost choked on the toothpaste foam in her mouth.

"Are you going on a mission today?" Yahweh walked to Xida, and water dripped down the bridge of her nose.

"Wait for the middleman to contact you. There is not work every day." After drying his face with a towel, Xi Ta squeezed the skin care products into his hands and applied them in front of the mirror.

"Actually, I can hack into the company's online account..." Yawei paused and saw Xi's beautiful eyebrows frowning through the mirror, "...that way you can just stay at home and don't have to go out to pick up jobs. Made money..."

"This won't work..." Xida wiped the excess lotion on his neck, then turned around and shook his head to Yahweh, "I can't be your blood-sucking insect."

"I do not care……"

"I care..." she murmured, pressing her face against his illusory body, "I can't accept it, I can't be your burden, even if this weight is insignificant to you..."

Yahweh was silent, he did not understand.

"Do you feel strange? This is a human being..." Seeing the confusion on his face, Xi Ta smiled with a smile on his face, stood on tiptoes, and held the illusive him in his arms.

"This is me, this is Xida Kasdeyi..."

Their figures overlapped, as if their hearts were close to each other, and he seemed to realize something.

"I want to be your backing..." His voice was hoarse, but his tone became more and more cheerful and firm, "The strongest backing, so just run forward."

"Okay..." She pouted her lips, but kissed the air.

They looked at each other and finally laughed together uncontrollably.

On this quiet morning, under the grand sunshine, their hearts were so close to each other for the first time.

It took a long time for Xi Da to catch the deer that was jumping around in his heart and hold it down hard to stop it from moving.

She let go of her hands that had been hugging each other and walked to the closet next to the living room.

"Roger gave me the contact information of a prosthetic doctor before..." She selected clothes, intending to make the best match among the limited choices.

"I can help you check the fit of the prosthesis," Yawei walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down, and then said, "Even if it doesn't match, I can reduce its side effects to zero."

"Okay." Xida did not refuse this time. She hoped that she could live longer, not just for herself.

On the morning of January 9, 2074, they faced the sunshine together and headed towards the future.

On the way down from the elevator, Yawei vaguely saw a boy with a punk haircut jumping down from the stairs on the third floor, landing just where the garbage was on the first floor as a buffer.

"This is..." Yahweh felt eye-opening.

"Tsk! That kid..." Xi Da slapped his forehead and explained through gritted teeth, "That bastard is David Martinez, and his mother is Gloria Martinez. We just met yesterday. "

"He seems to have quite a personality." Yawei touched his chin and followed Xi Da out of the elevator.

Until the door of the garage, they were still discussing the boy's unique behavior.

"This kid, this is the first time I've seen him go to school like this. Is it because he's in Arasaka Academy?" Xi Da was chewing the bread he just bought from the stall and tangled his hair with his fingers in worry, planning to make a date in a few days. Gloria, have a good chat about her children's education, she can't just sit idly by.

Gloria Martinez is indeed a good mother. She does her best to provide her son with the best educational resources so that he can live a good life in the future. However, she is so exhausted that she does not have much time to talk to her son. , exchange and exchange. David Martinez, who is only 15 years old, may not necessarily understand his mother's good intentions.

Growing up in a single-parent family, under pressure from his mother, and possibly being bullied in an aristocratic school, it's no wonder that David looks rebellious.

Based on the information he observed and his previous school experience, Xi Da felt that the more he thought about it, the more likely it was.

"Heda?" Yahweh looked at Heda's troubled look and became worried.

"In a few days, we will visit Martinez's house together," she deliberately emphasized the word "together", which made Yahweh confused.

"Aren't we already together?" He sat in the driver's seat, intending to let him drive.

"You'll understand then..." Xi Da blinked at him, put down the passenger seat, lay down comfortably, and accepted the fact that the car was owned by the male owner.

Yahweh expressed his expectation silently, activated Hera in the sky, and transferred the destination address that Xi Da just sent to him on the way into the program he wrote casually.

"Nina Kravitz?" He glanced at the name of the prosthetic doctor on the message sent by Roger.

"Hmph, female prosthetic doctor, I heard from Rogge that she seems to be new here. She took over her father's work or something like that. Her skills should be good," Xi Da closed her eyes and wrinkled her nose in a funny way.

"Will it hurt?" Yahweh glanced at her and asked curiously.

"How do I know? Today is the first time that I have saved enough money and have the confidence to knock on the door of the clinic... It shouldn't hurt, right?"

"Perhaps I can transfer your pain elsewhere...such as to me..."

"...I plan to install a higher-end network access warehouse, and if I have enough money, I can add a prosthetic eye." She changed the topic in a panic, otherwise the ambiguous atmosphere in the car would always make her think about it.

"That's okay," Yahweh nodded in agreement, "A good network access warehouse will make it easier for me to protect you."

Xi Tao touched his nose and did not answer. He turned his head towards the window and concentrated on dealing with the jumping deer in his heart.
