The Witch of the Cyberpunk Era

"You don't have to perfunctory me, really." Lin Yin sat up straight from the sofa, her voice sounded crisp and sweet, just like her name, a fresh and cold voice. However, this pleasant voice was accompanied by a deep unspoken anger and disgust.

"Really." Xu Yang checked the situation of the base and found that he could go, "Let's go tonight, I just have something to go to the moon."

Rinne lay back on the sofa, facing inward. The bottom of the sofa cushions smelled of a nice cleanser.

She could imagine how Lila took good care of the furniture. She kept everything neat and spotless. Is Lila a hard-working mechanical maid, or the president of a mega-enterprise admired by everyone? Every time I think of this place, Rinne gets smeared.

"Nervous." Rinyin said dully, "stay away from me."

"Didn't you say you were going to the moon to see it?" Xu Yang walked around the room.

"I hate to joke." Rinyin said coldly, without a trace of pity or lake in her tone. She started to get angry.

Xu Yang took out a stack of exquisite chip boxes and hard disks from the black metal filing cabinet, which were full of data documents, mainly related to basic industrial production and veterinary medicine, which could help the Moon-faced Dragon Clan to manufacture suitable industrial products and drug.

"Moonfire" Mond doesn't care much about its descendants, and most of the time allows these young people and young dragons to find their own way. Since establishing contact with Nisto Company, the enterprising dragon leader "Blood Flame" Pelagia has longed to use human technology and medicine to improve the quality of life of the moon dragons, for which she is willing to exchange a large amount of minerals.

The technological development of moon-faced dragons is difficult to achieve overnight. The technology tree pointed out by human beings needs to be digested by dragons from scratch. For humans, the science of the steam age, which is very simple, must be transformed into dragon knowledge for dragons. They are huge, the size of factories and machines must be several times that of humans, and the corresponding assembly lines and technical processes are all very different.

In addition to bringing the information to Moon Trading, Xu Yang also has to do Wei October a favor.

The relationship between Wei October and Du Qianqian has been ups and downs, Wei October is tough and upright, Du Qianqian is sensitive and cunning, naturally there are many troubles in the running-in, they have each complained to Xu Yang about the other party's bad temper and bad temper. How bad. In addition, Wei October left a few personal items on the moon, and hoped that Xu Yang could help bring them back to the ground. Because she hated her father, she did not want to return to the Moon Palace for a long time, so Xu Yang could do it for her.

"I'm leaving." Xu Yang packed up, put on a white trench coat with many pockets, put on a ceramic mask, and walked out, "Do you want to go to the moon, or stay indoors?"

"..." Lin Yin closed her eyes and pretended not to hear, until Xu Yang closed the door and went to launch the Anonymous number. She opened her eyes and saw the black, thin shuttle slowly exiting the hangar. She couldn't take it anymore, jumped out of bed, and ran out, "Wait for me!"

Xu Yang didn't slow down, just opened the door, Rin Yin activated his magic power, jumped on the side of the cabin, walked inside, and pulled the door tightly.

At this moment, the shuttle just took off and drove into the vast night. Lin Yin saw the splendid city below them exuding a flashy atmosphere. There were bright billboards and holographic light and shadow everywhere, and she slowly let go of her hanging heart. .

…

"I don't want to watch a movie or go to the observatory." Lin Yin looked at Xu Yang and said coldly, "I don't want to go to a hotel or a forest, and I don't want to go to the suburbs."

"Why are we going there," Xu Yang said lightly, "We are going to the moon, not anywhere else."

"...!" Rinyin came back to her senses, "I was the first tester of Nisto's rocket launch plan. But you didn't even tell the news media, does it make sense to launch a rocket like this? And I didn't Trained for space travel."

"It doesn't matter, there is no need to train." Xu Yang explained, "I have been there, and they have established an ecosystem there."

"They?" Rin Yin's eyes kept flickering.

She thought of many wonderful pictures, including the descriptions of the dangerous moon in various film and television comics. It is rumored that there are dangerous monsters everywhere, so that the human moon landing plan is almost empty, and the brave astronauts have repeatedly disappeared.

"The colonists on the moon." Xu Yang nodded. He looked at Lin Yin and knew that she had a lot of troubles in her heart, "...Let's come a little bit and sit next to me."

Lin Yin sat beside Xu Yang, he handed her a can of black coffee, and when she drank the cold and bitter liquid, a little starlight appeared in her eyes.

"Why go to the moon?" Xu Yang slowly guided him. He didn't want to add any extra burden to Lin Yin. She had already worked hard enough and was under indescribable mental pressure. Xu Yang knew this clearly.

Rinne was silent for a while, then replied:

"Give yourself a reason to live." Rinne said.

"The reason for living..." Xu Yang never thought that Lin Yin would answer like this.

"..." Rinyin lowered her head, put the coffee can aside dully, and buried her face in her hands, "...Going to the moon is an impossible thing. So I set myself such a goal, living my life. Day after day, pretending you're still working on it."

Lin Yin looked at the night outside the window, and had already left the city, heading for the wilderness.

to the moon.

This goal is so absurd, so lofty, and yet it is the only goal that can sustain her every day.

"It's very powerless." Rinyin continued, her voice was very soft, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her, she leaned against the window and cast her eyes on the dark countryside outside, "So, when I go to the moon, my The dream is over, and I can die calmly. After all, what's the point of living?"

Not only does life feel boring, but Rinne also feels the emptiness of life.

meaningless...

"There is no goal of spending money," Xu Yang said slowly, "there is no pursuit of luxury, no deep emotional sustenance, no relatives, no belonging, no sense of security, no close friends, no own career, no …”

"Yeah, so what?" Lin Yin said dully, Xu Yang's words completely confirmed her current state, a hacker witch wandering in the world with no purpose and nothing.

The team she once loved was destroyed by the company's forces in a conflict, leaving Rinyin alone in the world, like an isolated atom, isolated from all other structures.

"So, now you finally have time to find out who you are." Xu Yang turned to look at her, "You don't need to live for money, you don't need to live for your lover and relatives, you don't need to live for your career, you don't need to live for Live as a team. It's finally time to start over."

…

Lin Yin moved over and rested her head on Xu Yang's knee.

"Just start over here?" Rinyin said softly.

Move to another city, move to a place where no one knows you and start over, people always say that.

Xu Yang nodded.

"Of course, people come to this world to perfectly realize their own nature." Xu Yang looked out the window, he saw the rolling hills, the woods covered the pitch-black mountains like a green coat of mountains, and the mountains themselves were like silent giants. He was noncommittal about everything that happened to him, "You are still young, you can tear it down over and over again, it's never too late."

"I have no nature to speak of, a part of me is broken." Rinyin felt that cyberpsychosis was affecting her, and she sometimes felt that she was divided into three, just like Masato Shikano, appearing in different places at the same time.

"Don't be nervous," Xu Yang patted her, "all you need is time. Humans and witches have the same great characteristics - even in the worst circumstances, our spirit is inalienable."

Lin Yin curled up quietly, and for a few seconds, she felt like she had found a secluded nest in the world.

"Thank you for taking the time with me." Rinyin whispered.

"The days are still long..." Xu Yang looked away from the barren hills outside the window and fell back on Lin Yin, "And I really need an assistant."

"You can find better assistants."

"But Miss Rinne is unique in this world."

"I forgive you." Rinyin closed her eyes and said, "Take me to the observatory to see the moon, I know what you mean."

"There is no observatory, no theater, no hallucinations; everything that follows is a fake moon." Xu Yang led her into the Black Gate Base.

The shuttle stopped on the docking platform in the center of the huge warehouse, and Xu Yang came down with a stern voice.

There's no activity around, just a handful of synths doing routine maintenance. Huge robotic arms slid boxes of minerals over their heads. Gears, crawlers, and conveyor platforms were connected to form an efficient cargo delivery device, and twelve conveyor belts were operating at the same time. The sound was so loud that the ground shook slightly. .

"Mine?" Lin Yin looked up and saw countless minerals being brought out from the depths of the dark base, as if there was an inexhaustible treasure trove of minerals.

She never thought that Nisto Company still had such a wonderful mining base, and she couldn't help but raised her eyebrows, surprised by all this.

"Close your eyes and move forward." Xu Yang led Rinyin forward step by step, heading towards the source of these minerals.

Rinne held her breath.

She opened her eyes and saw a little change in the surrounding environment, from a real mechanical ground to semi-suspended crystal material particles, and she could even feel a suction pulling herself forward, and the darkness in front of her followed The appearance of the light source becomes brighter, but the line between light and dark is not so clear, everything is bizarre and only appears in dreams.

Then she saw that Xu Yang was gone.

She shouted, her heart pounding, and thinking of what Xu Yang said, she closed her eyes, gritted her teeth and walked forward, no matter what was in front of her.

—Then she was drawn away and disappeared on the surface.
