Cyberpunk: 2075

The message Karl received from Blanca was simple. She had just finished her work and could have a good night's rest, so she planned to invite Karl over.

When he was dealing with the former NCPD chief, Carl made an agreement with Blanca that if he was free in the future, he would definitely go to her house to sit there.

Obviously, Blanca is now looking for free time to ask Karl to come over.

Karl was quite happy to accept the invitation from his friend.

The rest of the companions are busy tonight, and there is only one ball watcher at home. It would be boring for him to stay at home alone and play with the ball.

Wouldn't that look very pitiful? It's always good to do something.

Blanca's residence is in Charter Hill, a place where company dogs gather. Carl doesn't come very often, but after arriving at the relevant location with the help of a Delamain taxi, he finds that Blanca is already waiting downstairs. .

There are many luxury apartments in Charter Hill, and some of them are equipped with special security equipment. If ordinary people want to enter the apartment without passing the verification, they will only be solved by the automatically activated device. Although Carl is obviously not that kind of ordinary person, But when I come to a friend’s house to play,

It is always not good to dismantle the security device of the entire building, so after Blanca received a reply from Karl saying that she would come, she waited downstairs.

"Yo."

Looking at Blanca, Carl realized that Blanca might have just gotten off work not long ago, because she was still wearing the classic company dog ​​clothes, her hair was messy, and her skin was not very moist. At first glance, you can tell that a long period of overtime and late nights has just ended.

"How long have you been working?"

“It’s just thirty-four hours.

Her voice sounded a little tired, but Blanca still cheered up and said, "I didn't use anything like a stimulant. I had to endure it for a while. Coffee is really useless."

"Don't take the use of potions as normal. Are you really not afraid of sudden death?"

Karl complained and walked into the apartment building under the leadership of Blanca: "But I also know that there is no use in saying this.

You guys are so curled up, maybe you are used to it by now. "

"I'll feel more relaxed next time. It's always like this when I'm busy. I've finished my work today and can take some time off."

Blanca rubbed her eyes. Her prosthetic eyes had obviously not been debugged recently, and the frames were skipping a bit: "Besides, you said you wanted to come and play, so I have to give you a chance, otherwise I would always work overtime and you would be busy too. We can’t even touch the work.”

"That's true."

If you don't meet with friends too much, you will always feel a little lonely. Although it sounds ridiculous, Blanca only has a friend like Karl.

The two took the elevator all the way to the upper floors and arrived at Blanca's apartment. Blanca entered while rubbing her eyes and gave the authority to Karl, while Karl observed Blanca's room.

Karl had a lot of experience entering women's rooms, but this was the first time he saw a room like Blanca's.

It's not that simple, but it's definitely not luxurious. It's not worthy of the traditional concept of a place where a company dog ​​should live. It seems that the room is not only a little full of all kinds of messy things, but also messy and a little dark. .

It seems that the space is quite large, but it looks like a small room.

Realizing that Karl was looking around at the layout of her room, Blanca explained: "I don't like people from the cleaning company entering my private room, and I'm usually too busy to clean it up. It's been like this for a long time, but I’m used to it too.”

Are you used to this kind of dark and crowded room that feels very narrow?

Karl's mind flashed back to what Blanca had told him about when he was young.

As a child, Blanca spent her entire childhood in a dark attic.

Are you used to it?:

"Sit wherever you like. Sit wherever you can see where people can sit."

Sitting on a place that was probably a bed, Blanca rummaged through the bedside table for a while and threw a jar of sweet tea to Karl: "It seems that the impression is disappointing, it doesn't look like a women's room at all. ”

"fine."

After taking the drink that Blanca obviously knew about his taste, Karl sat down and couldn't tell whether it was a sofa or not.

It's still where the equipment is piled: "At least it matches my impression of you."

"What's the impression of a stupid company dog ​​who works hard, burns himself for the company, and dedicates himself to the company?"

"Be ambitious."

Karl's words went straight to Blanca's heart, causing her to take out another bottle of drink from the bedside table. Then Karl continued:

"A person who doesn't stick to trivial matters must have something bigger and more important to him in his heart. For you, this room is just a temporary residence. You just need to ensure that the privacy in it is not leaked. Sooner or later, you will have to change it. It’s a house, so you don’t need to take care of it, right?”

Blanca also took out a bottle of sweet tea: "Are you so sure?"

"I just think that no one would relive an environment that they didn't like in their childhood. If it really reappears and mentions it casually, it means that she has transcended the past and is looking to the future. What are expectations for the future if not ambition?”

"You can call it romantic, call it a dream."

“Aren’t dreams just ambition?”

"It sounds like the words of a mercenary."

"Then the words that respond to the mercenary must be the words of a company dog."

Carl's words made Blanca's tired face smile.

"Then mercenary, stay here today."

"Stay?"

Carl opened the sweet tea and took a sip, looking at Blanca who was lying on the bed in confusion: "Are you going to sleep?"

"Thirty-four hours, too tired, so good night, my friend."

After saying this, Blanca closed her eyes and began to fall asleep peacefully.

One second, two seconds...

Judging from the visual, she has fallen asleep.

Fell asleep in seconds?

Where did you come from, a genius fourth-grade student who takes naps? And how come you asked people to come over and fell asleep directly?

Would anyone ask friends to come over to play, and then let them stay as they please, and then lie down and fall asleep directly?

This is too reassuring and relaxing.

Complaining in his heart, Carl looked at Blanca who was sleeping particularly peacefully, keeping the sound of not disturbing her sleep, and sighed softly.

So, are you really tired and want to sleep peacefully for a while?

Carl looked at the sweet tea in his hand.

Forget it.

Anyway, he has been "bribed".

This reminds Carl of the feeling of bribing friends with some snacks and drinks when he asked them for help.

Snacks and drinks are not important. They will always help even if you don't ask them properly. It's just that with snacks and drinks...,

friends can stay and eat and drink more naturally.

Carl looked around and found that Blanca actually bought a lot of food.

After taking a bag of snacks that don't make much noise when eating, Carl looked at Blanca who was sleeping again.

Although her skin looks a little greasy due to long-term overtime work, her hair is messy, and her sleeping posture is not good, but...

Thinking about the beautiful but particularly unpleasant look when the two met for the first time, it is still more comfortable to look at this reassuring look.
