Cyberpunk: 2075

"I feel like I'm resurrected."

"How can I not be resurrected? You've been struggling on the line of danger for two days and almost died."

On the bed, Jack commented on Carl's first words after waking up.

"So, what's the matter?"

Carl looked at Oliver, who was sitting on the other side of the bed. He didn't quite understand why he woke up in the bed, and there were two stupid faces staring at him on both sides.

"Carl, I think you can scold us in person in the future, instead of pretending to say what's in your heart by accident."

Oliver was wrapped in bandages and looked seriously injured. After rolling his eyes at Carl, he explained the general situation.

The distance that Carl sent to the target was actually farther than he imagined. When the ACPA was chasing Carl, the medical staff stationed in the Blue Bi Building found the target and protected her. Because the target had arrived successfully, the attackers on Jack's side also received relevant intelligence and began to retreat one after another, and then...

Then when Jack and other mercenaries who had nothing to do came to see Carl's situation, they saw Carl covered with a white cloth and carried away.

"We all thought you were dead at the time, and Jack even howled a few times and rushed up to try to take back your body."

"Bullshit, it was you who was howling, I just rushed up."

Jack corrected Oliver's words in a bad mood, and then continued to tell the general situation.

Then they were informed by the Arasaka medical team that Carl was not dead yet. The target had specially instructed before receiving treatment that Carl should also receive treatment. The medical team covered him with a white cloth because he looked too miserable and they were afraid of scaring the lady.

"Oh, speaking of this lady, that is, our target, Carl, do you know who she is? We have protected a big shot this time. I never thought that we were protecting her."

Jack said, patting the bed excitedly, and except for making a loud sound on the bed and shaking Carl's body, he did not make any overly radical movements: "She is actually from the Arasaka family, you know, the Arasaka family."

"Of course I know Arasaka."

[Arasaka]: A family business from Japan, they provide security, banking and legal services to corporate giants, and are one of the most influential giant consortiums in 2075.

The eldest lady in the family business.

Of course I know.

"Is there a problem?"

"It's a big problem."

Oliver said beside him: "Arasaka Haruko, her mother is Arasaka Michiko, one of the people in power at Arasaka, and her great-grandfather is Arasaka Saburo, do you understand that Arasaka Saburo, the emperor of Arasaka, a person of power who is almost unmatched in the world, we are actually related to them, do you think it's a big problem?"

"It's okay."

Carl was quite calm: "Do the task, complete the task, what big problem can there be between the client and the client."

"Are you sure?"

Oliver stared at Carl with some suspicion, and he really didn't see anything special from the expression on Carl's face.

"Jack and I can be sure that we have no relationship, but do you really have no relationship?"

Oliver lifted the quilt on the bed and pointed at Carl's hand: "If there is no relationship, then why did she have to ask for treatment together, and even paid for someone to treat and maintain your hand."

"My hand?"

Carl realized at this time that his hand seemed different.

Remember before I fainted, my palm was gone and half of my arm was peeled off?

Now this is....

Carl raised his arm and looked at the hand that looked no different from before, but he felt a different power from under it.

"This is..."

"The best titanium bones, the best dense bone marrow, the best bionic joints, the best artificial skin, your hand, now you can punch the wall with one punch, you know."

"This..."

Carl tried to control his hand and scratched his head, and found that the control was no different from the previous arm, and it even seemed to be smoother.

All are the best, awesome.

"This doesn't seem to mean anything."

Carl said: "The eldest lady of the Arasaka family is rich. Seeing our hard work, she helped us disabled people. Isn't it very normal."

"Normal?"

Looking at Carl who really didn't seem to be strange or concealing anything, Oliver and Jack looked at each other, and both of them now doubted whether this matter was simply the kindness of the eldest lady.

Could it be that the people from the Arasaka family really have such a thing as conscience?

Something is wrong, ten points or even nine points.

"Okay, then we don't care about these."

Oliver slapped a storage chip card on Carl's quilt.

"Then how should you explain this thing?"

"What is it?"

Carl took it and inserted it into his brain-computer interface at the glances of Oliver and Jack.

Then, a string of astonishing numbers entered the account.

One, two, three, four, five...six?

"One million euros?!"

Carl was stunned.

"No, 100,000 Euros?"

"Yeah, we're also curious."

Jack stared at Carl's face suspiciously, worried that his friend had sold something: "This is specially given by the Arasaka lady, saying it's for you. After you receive it, the middleman can get 100,000... So, Carl, say it again, you're fine?"

"Should?"

Carl thought about it and found a reason: "It must be because I challenged ACPA alone. Damn, people almost died. What's wrong with taking more money?"

"We know about this. There is a video recording of the place where you fought. I don't know who spread it. Now the whole Night City is in a mess. ACPA appeared in Night City, which prohibits ACPA, and there is a mercenary who almost eliminated ACPA. You are famous now, Carl."

"Famous?"

"I guess so."

Oliver still stared at Carl with that suspicious look, but soon, it turned into a smile again.

"Forget it, as long as you are fine, it's fine if you say it's fine."

"Being healthy is the most important thing."

Jack also patted Carl on the shoulder: "Even if there is a problem with Arasaka and they want to force you, we can help."

"It sounds like Jack and Oliver, you all think I am a weak girl who is forced to marry into a wealthy family?"

Carl said helplessly: "I hate corporate dogs, you know it."

"But she gave you the best prosthetic arm and one million."

"In fact, I don't hate honest corporate employees that much."

"Virtue."

Jack and Oliver complained about Carl and helped him pack up. They were uncomfortable staying in the hospital under Arasaka's management. If it weren't for accompanying Carl, no one would be willing to come. Now that Carl has woken up, it is better to leave early.

....

"Come to think of it, did you see Adam's hammer?"

"Just a few glances, and then he fainted."

"That guy is a legend."

....

In the hospital, 'Sakura' watched Carl's figure leaving, and her hand swung slightly. A knife close to her body in her kimono flashed into her palm at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye.

"Sakura has experienced countless splendors, but only this time, it just happened to float into someone's arms."

She swung the knife and stabbed a blood-stained, unused 'Qinglizhi'.

Two days ago, she had been holding this thing, close to her wound.

She held it tightly at the time, just like Carl holding a grenade.

"One petal against another."
