"You gave me your clothes, what will you do?"
Su Xiao showed a smile, "I have a good physique and am not afraid of the cold."
"Strength LV5" is not a joke.
With this skill, Su Xiao is basically insulated from colds and fevers.
The little wind was just a drizzle, and it wouldn't make him sick.
"Follow me and be careful."
Su Xiao led the way and led Lucy to sit on a step at the edge of the rooftop.
The cool breeze at night blew their clothes.
The direction they are facing is the most profitable area of Westbrook - Japantown.
Neon lights and billboards constantly change into colorful psychedelic lights.
Even though the lights have started to turn on, the flow of people has not decreased at all, or rather, it is even worse than during the day.
Japantown during the day and Japantown at night are like the two sides of the same coin.
During the day, Japantown is always crowded with tourists.
For them, bars, high-end restaurants, game arcades, Sakura department stores and Shinto temples are all must-visit places to visit Night City.
It is clean and safe during the day and is an excellent place for sightseeing, and it is only across the bridge from the famous Corporate Plaza.
Corporate Plaza's many hotels are also a good place to rest.
And once night comes, Japantown becomes a tourist and high-end
A gathering area for the salaried class.
After a long day at work, exhausted white-collar workers need a place to decompress.
Either he hangs out in romantic places, or he spends a lot of money on the gambling table and ends up getting drunk.
Among them, the most shining pearl of Japantown is the "Cloudy Peak" nightclub.
The Chaomeng and other services here will never let you down, she can satisfy the deepest desires of every pleasure seeker.
Of course, the premise is that you have money.
But if you do something stupid, you better have someone on top of you, otherwise the situation will be very bad for you.
The so-called "disadvantage" refers to cutting off body parts.
Even though night has fallen, AV of Trauma Team is still busy running around tirelessly.
A AV painted with the Trauma Team logo entered the field of view of Su Xiao.
The thruster spit out blue flames and flew quickly in the direction of Pacifica.
This situation is not common, because very few Pacifica people can afford Trauma Team insurance.
Su Xiao and Lucy are sitting on the steps at the edge of the rooftop.
Neither of them spoke, they just sat quietly.
Feel the gentle night breeze and admire the colorful city night view.
The street below, Kabuki District not far away, and Japantown across the bridge are all so noisy.
But now, this location above a super skyscraper seems quiet and peaceful like the eye of a storm.
It's as if all the worries in the world can be put aside temporarily.
At least for Su Xiao, that's the case.
Lucy, on the other hand, once again had a confused look on his face and touched his hand to the back of his head.
To be more precise, he touched Deep Dive Interface on the back of his head.
Every professional Netrunner has a high-capacity neural port on the back of its head that is directly connected to the cerebral cortex.
This port is generally called Deep Dive Interface.
Deep Dive Interface allows Netrunner to access the network more deeply and obtain higher data transmission volume.
But for Lucy, Deep Dive Interface is not just a more advanced hacker implant device.
It also represents her past.
That extremely horrific past that is unbearable to look back on.
The reason why she followed Su Xiao.
In fact, I am not jealous of V, nor am I really afraid of what will happen to Su Xiao and V.
What she is really afraid of is that she has a sense of alienation and isolation.
This feeling was not very obvious when I went on missions with Su Xiao, V, and Jack.
But tonight, when the three of them are preparing to give the gift that they have carefully selected for a long time to Su Xiao...
It's like a volcano that has been dormant for a long time and suddenly erupts.
When Lucy sees V and Jack, he and Su Xiao can get along like family.
There was an indescribable discomfort in her heart.
Lucy It can be seen that Su Xiao, V, and Jack are all good buddies and brothers who treat each other with sincerity.
They are all partners who can give each other's back.
What about yourself?
Who do you think you are in this team?
Lucy has not forgotten that he is different from V and Jack.
Because V and Jack did not deceive Su Xiao with lies.
But he has been hiding his secret.
Therefore, Lucy is very scared and afraid.
She was not sure whether Su Xiao could still accept herself as before after knowing the secret she had hidden.
This was the reason why she chose to follow her when Su Xiao sent her home.
As for why it had to be tonight...
Maybe I've finally endured enough, the loneliness of not being able to trust anyone.
It may also be the effect of alcohol.
Anyway, she didn't want to escape anymore.
However, when Su Xiao opened V's door and appeared in front of her.
The words came to my lips, but I couldn't say them out.
She once again had the idea of continuing to hide it and pretend that nothing happened.
Su Xiao gave her a warmth she had never experienced before.
She was really scared and worried if she told the truth.
Everything now will burst like a dream bubble.
Suddenly there was a warm feeling on his face.
Lucy was shocked.
He immediately turned his head and saw that what he had just put on his face was a cup of hot drink.
"For you."
"Uh... thank you, thank you."
Lucy took the hot drink blankly and said in surprise.
"It's still hot, how did you do that?"
"There is a vending machine in the corner over there. I don't know how it was moved up, so I went over and bought two cups. It's quite windy here, so I want to have a hot cup to warm myself up."
Lucy heard this and took a sip.
As Su Xiao said, after taking a sip of the hot drink, my body felt better.
She kept stroking the cup with both hands.
Feeling uneasy.
Finally...
She made up her mind.
"Can I ask you a question?"
"What?"
"What if, I mean what if," Lucy bit his lips lightly, considering the words, "If there is a member in your team whose true identity is a wanted criminal who is being hunted by International Police Organization, what will you do?"
Su Xiao smiled and replied in a matter-of-fact tone, "Do you still need to ask? Of course I will hand it over to the country with my own hands."
Interpol, fighting crime is everyone's responsibility."
Lucy's heart suddenly seemed to be pierced by a knife.
It hurts, it hurts too much.
She turned her head.
I don't want Su Xiao to see the disappointment and loss that I can't hide on my face.
"I, I think so..."
The ruthless facts, like the cold night wind, surrounded her.
Despair and helplessness came to her like a tide.
Lucy Once again, I felt like falling into an ice cave.
Only this time, no one else is to blame.
Just when Lucy was looking for an excuse to leave... not just from the rooftop, but forever, Su Xiao suddenly changed the subject.
"But we are talking about the fugitives that International Police Organization is chasing, right? If International Police Organization were replaced by a super company, the situation would be different."
"Eh?" Lucy was stunned.
Su Xiao did not go to see Lucy.
He always raised his head and stared at the night sky.
In fact, there is very serious light pollution in Night City.
Except for areas with backward economies and stagnant development such as Pacifica and Santo Domingo, when you look up at the night sky in other places, you cannot see the real night sky.
The light of the stars and moon are obscured.
"The people I can pull into my team are naturally the ones I recognize. I think my vision is pretty good. It's impossible not to recognize the fugitives wanted by International Police Organization."
"In other words, since you have joined my team, it is absolutely impossible for him to be wanted by International Police Organization. Since he is a guy recognized by me, then no matter the company or the giant, please step aside for me. Anyone who wants to touch me has no way!"
Tears burst out of my eyes uncontrollably.
Like a broken pearl, falling to the ground.
Lucy wiped the tears on his face and choked with sobs. "Aren't you afraid that it will bring you danger?"
Su Xiao seemed not to notice Lucy's abnormal mood and continued.
"I'm not afraid of the shadow cast by the company. What I'm afraid of is the concealment chosen by my companions and the sacrifices that come with it."
"I have seen too many tragedies. Problems that could have been solved by everyone sitting down and having a good communication ended up being unnecessary sacrifices because of hiding from each other."
"If he/she is part of my team, I hope he/she will be able to speak out about the fear that is hanging over and oppressing his/her heart."
"When everyone adds fuel to the fire, it is better for everyone to pool their wisdom than for her to bear the burden alone."
Lucy stood up with his hands covering his face.
