Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

【Lucy】(Y/N simulation?)

[Simulated object: Lucy]

[Simulation starting point: After leaving Night City alone]

[Simulation Tips: Life simulation is based on relevant people and events known in the subject’s life, please treat the simulation results with caution]

In the yacht cabin, Tang Yu took off the Mewtwo ring on his head and looked at the silver-haired girl with closed eyes next to him.

As the life simulation system prompt was confirmed, Lucy fell into a deeper sleep and was about to experience a simulation that was more realistic than Mewtwo.

This life simulation is crucial to the rest of Lucy's life. Whether she should stay in Night City in the future or choose to leave now will be decided at this moment.

Perhaps it was because the Sims encountered something sad, Tang Yu noticed that crystal tears suddenly shone in the corners of the silver-haired girl's eyes.

While Lucy was conducting a life simulation, there was suddenly a lot of noise outside the yacht, the sound of an aeroplane and a speedboat.

So Tang Yu stood up and walked straight out of the cabin.

now.

Lucy endured the severe headache and tried to open her eyes, dispelling the darkness in front of her.

"Where is this?"

With her eyelids half-open and half-closed, she saw the surrounding scene clearly.

I don’t know when.

She was wearing a close-fitting hacker uniform, lying in a cold and mechanical white laboratory, with several data cables connected to her back.

Sudden.

She felt a little cold at the back of her head, and was suddenly startled. She quickly reached out to touch the back of her head and found a biological nerve cable connected to her deep dive network interface.

what happened?

Lucy's face couldn't help but darken, she quickly unplugged the plug, quickly rolled over and rolled off the test table, and fell to her knees weakly, barely supporting herself with her hands.

Her pupils were trembling, her face was full of fear, and in her eyes, that extremely familiar logo appeared.

A line extends upward into three branch lines, and there are three round blocks at the top of each of the three branch lines.

"arasaka"

Lucy was in a daze, clutching the ground with her fingers, unable to believe that she was now in Arasaka's laboratory.

What exactly is going on?

She had a splitting headache, and countless memory fragments were torn and reorganized in her mind like knives, gradually putting together a picture.

The severe pain made Lucy almost unable to breathe. Her slender arms could no longer support the weight of her body, and she fell directly to the cold floor, curling up helplessly, covering her head and gritting her teeth to endure.

After experiencing painful torture, Lucy finally remembered bit by bit.

In order to avoid being captured by Arasaka agents, she chose to leave Night City alone. After a long period of wandering around, she finally saved enough money to go to the moon, and then took off on a rocket and arrived at the moon.

But when she put on her spacesuit and stepped off the rocket, what greeted her was not the tranquility and beauty she had imagined, but a group of Arasaka agents.

after.

Lucy was taken to this lunar experimental base. In her mind, this base was called Sea of ​​Clouds.

Unkai Lunar Base is an international institution, and Arasaka Company has obtained a license to build a space laboratory in Unkai through many efforts.

But why did Arasaka wait until this moment?

Lucy suddenly remembered the interface in the back of her head. She struggled to stand up, lay back on the experimental table, and checked the recorders, monitors and other equipment beside her.

The rows of flowing data plunged her into even greater panic.

Only then did Lucy learn that Arasaka’s real purpose was not just her, but more importantly, Tang Yu.

She suppressed the extreme panic and worry in her heart, turned her prosthetic eyes, called up the underlying database of the brain's neural network, and retrieved the ICE infiltration records.

Lucy was completely stunned, her eyes were motionless, as if she had lost her soul.

She confirmed.

My ICE has been compromised and invaded, and the cache of the underlying database has been exported.

What made her even more desperate was that the exported data cache contained a large amount of content related to Tang Yu.

Lucy panicked, completely panicked.

Because she knows what memories are in her mind, which are the biggest secrets about Tang Yu.

If Arasaka discovers him, he will fall into an unprecedented disaster.

A native who is able to use abilities beyond those of Sianwistan without installing any prosthetic body will inevitably become the eye-catching existence of everyone.

Lucy tried her best to cheer up, and as her memory returned, the pain in her head lessened a lot.

She walked off the test bench and wanted to leave the laboratory.

What made her uneasy was that she didn't see a living person, and even if she wanted to ask something, she couldn't.

She desperately wants to know, how is Tang Yu doing now?

When she chose to leave Night City, she just didn't want to involve Tang Yu. Unexpectedly, she still couldn't escape the disaster.

Lucy found that there was no access control at the gate, and then walked out of the small laboratory and walked through the corridors.

Her face was pale and her body was extremely weak. She could only stumble forward holding on to the white wall.

Fortunately, no one in the entire lunar base appeared to stop her.

Lucy could only run around in Arasaka, a hell-like experimental base, looking for opportunities to escape.

But what made her extremely desperate was that this experimental base was located on the surface of the moon. Even if she found an exit, there was only a dead end if she went out without protective measures.

Finally, Lucy exhausted all her strength and lay down in front of a gate, slumped down weakly, curled up and hugged her knees tightly.

Suddenly, a mechanical voice prompted.

"How can I help you?"

Lucy raised her head suddenly, the red marks in the corners of her eyes were blurred, and realized that this might be the artificial intelligence of the experimental base, and asked hurriedly: "Where is Tang Yu?"

The mechanical voice replied coldly: "I'm sorry to inform you that there is no research body code-named Tang Yu in the laboratory."

Hearing this, Lucy felt a little more at ease, so she asked again: "I want to leave here, what should I do?"

The mechanical voice continued to reply: "I'm sorry to inform you that your permission is not allowed to leave here. If you try to leave by force, I will restrict all your actions and perform cleaning procedures if necessary."

Lucy couldn't help but shuddered after hearing this. She believed that artificial intelligence was definitely capable of doing this.

An artificial intelligence like this usually takes charge of the entire experimental base's operating system, and cleaning up the creatures in the base is just a matter of a small program instruction.

Lucy did not dare to act rashly. Whether it was to invade the artificial intelligence system or forcefully escape from the place, any action without understanding the details would lead to irreversible consequences.

Her heart gradually calmed down, and this artificial intelligence seemed to be relatively easy to talk to, so she asked.

"This is the Arasaka Lunar Experiment Base, right? Do you know the situation in Arasaka?"

The cold and mechanical voice of the artificial intelligence replied: "The experimental base here was built by Arasaka Corporation and is managed by an independent subnet of artificial intelligence. However, the underlying database will be updated synchronously with Arasaka Corporation for human biological research."

A flash of light flashed in Lucy's eyes, and she asked again: "Then do you know Tang Yu of Night City Arasaka Tower? He is the deputy director of the Counterintelligence Department and the Special Operations Department."

"Please wait a moment, we are retrieving relevant task information for you." The artificial intelligence answered the questions very cooperatively.

"The following files have been found for you."

"Tang Yu, once worked for the Night City Branch of Arasaka Company, employee number NC770416, employee level M9, serving as deputy director of the counterintelligence department and deputy director of the special operations department."

"I was fired one month ago for violating Arasaka company regulations, and my employee number and related professional titles and benefits were cancelled."

Tang Yu was fired from Arasaka Company?

Lucy couldn't believe her ears. Could this be related to the stolen memory data in her mind?

But Tang Yu is obviously a senior executive of the company and has unlimited possibilities at Arasaka Tower. With his means and abilities, how could he get to the point of being fired.

"Where is Tang Yu now?"

The cold mechanical voice replied again: "Unknown at the moment."

Lucy was completely numb.

The head that had just calmed down began to boil again, and the high-hanging heart was also severely tugged.

Something really happened to Tang Yu, or something big happened.

The secret he was hiding must have been discovered, leading Arasaka to target him.

Lucy couldn't believe it and could only ask timidly again: "How long have I been here?"

"Thirty days." The mechanical voice said as usual.

Lucy understood everything immediately, and the result was exactly as she had guessed.

After all, Tang Yu could not escape Arasaka's clutches and fell into the trap of hell.

It couldn't be more obvious at this moment that the moon base is used for human biological research.

This isolated experimental base was tailor-made for Tang Yu, and his body was exactly what Arasaka was eager to study.

Lucy endured the huge hole in her heart and asked, "Can I see him?"

The artificial intelligence seems a little confusing: "Besides you, there is only Experiment 001 here. If you want to take a look, I will open the permission for you."

"Experimental Subject No. 001" Lucy muttered.

Suddenly, the gate behind the gate lit up with a green light, and the stainless steel gate slowly opened.

Lucy stood up and looked behind her, her eyes a little dazed, and she walked in with heavy steps.

After security scanning and aerosol disinfection, she finally arrived in front of Experimental Subject No. 001.

The sight in front of her made her completely stunned, and she couldn't make a sound for a long time.

In the brilliance of her neon pupils, a huge glass jar stood steadily in the middle. The glass jar was filled with an unknown blue transparent liquid.

A skinny male body was floating quietly in the blue liquid. He was wearing a thick mask, and his back was filled with slender tubes, which were extracting different nutrients from his body. Breathing bubbles came out from time to time.

Probably to prevent unexpected situations, even if he fell into a deep sleep, his hands and feet were still locked by electromagnetic insulation chains and could not move at all.

Because nutrients have been extracted for a long time, the body has begun to wither, and the originally clear face has become withered and pale.

But Lucy still recognized his identity from the slightly closed eyes.

She seemed to have been ripped away from her soul, her whole brain fell into a huge hole, and she no longer had any thoughts.

Tears fell silently, and the world began to become blurry again.

It seemed as if the last bit of strength had been lost from his whole body, and he finally fell straight to the ground and fainted.

It was like her soul was being sucked into a black hole. No matter how hard she struggled, she could not resist the powerful and painful gravity. She was swallowed up by the darkness bit by bit, tearing her soul apart, and she was so painful that she almost lost her senses.

It's like floating on an icy ocean, with turbulent waves rising and falling, one wave higher than the next.

She could only struggle in the waves with all her strength, trying to take a breath of the remaining oxygen in the gap between the waves.

The coldness, helplessness, pain, and unwillingness had made her so dizzy that she lost her instinct to struggle and gradually sank into the bottomless cold black sea.

The world before her eyes was moving away, the light getting farther and farther away.

Lucy wanted to catch the remaining light with her own hands, but only the cold sea water flowed ruthlessly through her fingertips without any trace of memory.

The light in front of her eyes became increasingly blurry, and she slowly closed her eyes weakly, reluctantly accepting this final arrangement. Transparent tears emerged from the corners of her eyes and floated upward.

suddenly.

She felt someone grab her wrist, as if she was being pulled hard, pulling her back out of the weightless and cold water.

After a dazzling flash of light, Lucy opened her eyes again.

The dazzling light made her a little uncomfortable, and she could only blink her eyelids hard to try to offset the strong discomfort.

Mewtwo Ring?

Lucy discovered that the dazzling white light was coming from the strobe in front of her eyes. She raised her hand and took off the Mewtwo ring on her head, and the world before her eyes finally became clear.

A soft leather sofa, a luxurious and quiet private room, another Mewtwo ring placed nearby, and a checkered plastic bag at your feet.

She felt a little strange for a moment, and her eyes looked at the scene in front of her as if she had been reborn.

soon.

She remembered, this is Tang Yu's private yacht!

As if her memory had been opened, Lucy immediately recalled everything that had just happened. It was clearly right in front of her, but it felt like half a century had passed.

She clearly remembered that she and Tang Yu were experiencing Lunar Mewtwo in the yacht cabin.

Then I experienced a very real past, and when I woke up, I was already in the Arasaka Laboratory at the Moon Sea of ​​Clouds Base.

Could it be that all that was just a dream?

But this dream is too real!

Lucy still clearly remembers that dream that was like a lifetime ago, and what happened between her and Tang Yu in the dream.

Tang Yu?

Her pupils shrank suddenly, and she found that Tang Yu was not in the cabin. She glanced back and forth eagerly several times.

Suddenly I heard movement outside the ship, and with doubts and worries, I immediately got up and walked out of the cabin.

When they arrived on the yacht deck, the scene in front of them caught Lucy by surprise, and she froze on the spot.

She is surrounded by Arasaka Corporation.

I saw an Arasaka armed aerial vehicle in the sky, emitting a dazzling red laser square that enveloped the yacht.

There are also Arasaka speedboats around, carrying Arasaka agents wandering on the sea.

On the deck of the yacht, a group of special service teams wearing Arasaka tactical uniforms stood in neat formation with weapons in hand.

In front of the special service team was Tang Yu in a suit and leather shoes.

As if aware of the movement behind him, Tang Yu slowly turned around amid the flashing lights of various colors and faced Lucy, who was full of surprise and panic.

At Tang Yu's instruction, an Arasaka agent stepped forward and explained sternly.

"You have violated the legitimate interests of Arasaka Company and have been listed as a key subject of supervision for stealing the core secrets of Arasaka Company's senior executives."

"Cooperating with Arasaka Company's investigation is a principle that you must abide by now. If you violate it, Arasaka Company has the right to implement special treatment."

Lucy allowed the agents to put electronic shackles on her hands, her eyes still fixed on Tang Yu, full of doubts and surprise.
