Night City, inside the traffic train.
"Bangdang... bangdang..."
The train shuttles quickly on the rusted elevated rails,
Outside the window is a continuous stream of dazzling holographic neon GG, cutting the entire crowded and dirty carriage into pieces of bizarre colors.
The carriage was filled with tired, numb-eyed workers who had been drained of energy at the bottom of major companies.
David Martinez was wearing a clean yellow jacket, with an old sports bag slung across one shoulder, and he was leaning quietly against the alloy armrest next to the car door.
The young man who had been baptized by Gaia Pure Yang Divine Light had a figure as tall and straight as a pine tree, with abundant and healthy blood flowing under his skin. This formed an extremely sharp contrast with the cyber consumables with ashen faces and empty eyes around him.
"Zi--"
When the train passed through the curve at the junction of Heywood and Westbrook, the train body tilted violently to the left.
At that moment, all the passengers in the carriage were shaking slightly with the inertia!
An extremely agile, graceful and slender figure, like a white cat in a deep alley, glided through the gaps in the crowd.
That's a girl.
She has short colorful gradient hair with dreamy colors flowing under the neon light, and is wearing an iconic black high-cut tight leather jacket.
Wear a translucent and neat short jacket to highlight your proud curves that are almost in golden ratio.
It is Lucy who is walking on the edge of Night City!
Lucy's eye sockets lit up with deep ice blue fluorescence, and the pair of expensive customized versions [Kiroshi third-generation optical prosthetic eyes] quickly scanned the crowd.
Originally she was looking for the lone Arasaka fat sheep, but soon her eyes were attracted by the black-haired boy leaning against the car door.
"Huh? A high school student from Santo Domingo?"
Lucy raised his eyebrows slightly. In this city where everyone wants to replace their brains with machines,
The young man in front of him didn't even have the burnt smell of cheap prosthetic overload. He even... looked extraordinarily clean and handsome.
However, in Night City, handsomeness cannot be eaten.
Lucy took advantage of the bumps of the train's turns and naturally stretched out his long legs to pass by David.
It seemed like an unintentional physical collision, but a tiny superconducting tweezer hidden under the skin of the fingertips of her right hand, and a nanometer-scale single-molecule wire that could cut a steel wire in an instant,
He has lightly reached into the lining pocket deep in the David jacket!
The technique is skillful and lightning fast, and the whole process will not even alarm anyone!
However.
David turned slightly sideways with a calm expression.
In Lucy's extremely fast perception, which didn't even have time to blink, David grabbed Lucy's wrist with his backhand!
"Didi dididi----!!!!!"
The moment the cabin noise returns to flow!
The highest specification Kiroshi prosthetic eye processor deep in Lucy's mind directly blasted a series of piercing scarlet alarms that were enough to burn through the nervous system:
[Deep scan of target skeletal system... WARNING: No signal detected!]
[Neural acceleration filter chip not detected! Micro cooling matrix not detected!]
[Measurement completed: target body mechanization rate - 0.00%! The target is 100% flesh and blood!!]
"Zi la!!"
A faint electric spark even flashed in Lucy's eyes due to the extreme computing power conflict!
This top hacker, who had always been cold, aloof, and a loner, was completely frozen in place!
What is transmitted from the wrist is the real human body temperature and pulse beat.
There is no cold feeling of mechanical transmission!
A body of pure flesh and blood?! A pure human being without a single screw in his body... actually relies on the nerve reflexes of pure biological flesh,
At sheer speed... he directly captured himself, a master equipped with a top-level hacker prosthetic body, alive?!
How the hell is this possible?! This is not a monster that can be explained by Night City's existing technology!!
"You..."
Lucy's pupils contracted violently, and the fingertips of his left hand instinctively flashed a faint blue offensive hacker code. His muscles were tense all over, like Wildcat's hair had exploded!
However.
David not only did not yell for security, there was not even the slightest anger in his eyes that he had been stolen.
The young man just smiled and took out something from his pocket with his other hand very naturally.
That was not a data chip, but a small piece of solid gold that reflected the color of pure sunlight and was broken off from a pure gold brick!
"Click."
Under Lucy's shocked gaze, David magnanimously took her cold palm and firmly stuffed the piece of pure physical gold into her palm.
"Want this? I gave it to you."
David looked directly into Lucy's charming and uncertain eyes:
"By the way...Lucy."
"I heard that you Tenten are taking risks on the light rail these days... are you saving for a one-way ticket to the moon?"
"Boom, boom, boom--!!!!"
If the physical body speed just now was just a shock on the physical level.
So at this moment, the moment David read out the code name "Lucy" and casually wrote about breaking the "lunar dream"...
Lucy felt as if he was struck by thunder from the nine heavens, and the blood in his body instantly went cold to the bottom!!
moon...
The only secret she hid deep in her heart and never revealed it to anyone even during Arasaka's escape! In this cannibalistic Night City, it's impossible for anyone to know about this obsession!
At this moment, what appeared in the mind of the cold female hacker was the biting chill and the endless shadows coming from the Arasaka laboratory!
"Who told you?!"
Lucy's breathing was completely messed up, his wrists struggled fiercely, and he asked with a trembling voice that couldn't hide:
"Who are you?! Sent by Arasaka? Or are you a scavenger from network surveillance?!"
Looking at the girl, she was covered in thorns like a frightened hedgehog, but deep in her eyes was the fear of being alone.
David did not continue to press forward step by step, but took the initiative to release his right hand holding her wrist, took a half step back, and calmly spread his hands to show that he had no ill intentions:
"I am not Arasaka's dog, nor am I a network monitor."
David's eyes were clear and sincere, and he said softly:
"My name is David, David Martinez. I'm just Santo Domingo... an ordinary person who just decided to resist fate."
Looking at David's unprepared and magnanimous posture, and then looking at the real piece of cold pure gold in his hand, Lucy's violently heaving chest slowly calmed down.
Although the vigilance in her eyes had not completely faded away, there was already overwhelming confusion and wavering.
And at this moment!
In [Myriad Worlds Chat Group]'s holographic live broadcast room, the big guys were watching and commenting crazily.
[New York's Richest and Smartest]: "Hahahahaha! Not bad, not bad, retreat in moderation to advance. David This kid really has the spirituality of a genius!"
[New York's Richest and Smartest]: "Little Wildcat is very defensive. But the gold was given away and the secret was revealed.
She will definitely not be able to sleep tonight, all she can think about is the name "David Martinez"."
[Dark Knight of Gotham]: "The overload of verbal stimulation caused the target's defensive posture to escalate, but the choice to actively let go to relieve the pressure was the correct choice.
The hacker interface in her body has entered standby, and the alert level has dropped from "fatal" to "highly suspicious."
While the large group of people were communicating solemnly on the public screen.
Chiba Prefecture Sobu High School Under the cherry blossom tree in the back mountain, Lin Xiao's mobile phone was buzzing like crazy in the background!
Lin Xiao Click on the private chat window and take a look--
Kaguya Houraisan, who had been banned for 24 hours and unable to post on the public screen, was venting all his grievances in Lin Xiao's private message. In just a few seconds, hundreds of system cat emoticons filled the screen:
[The Shut-In Princess of Eientei (private chat)]: [You're not even going to kiss me?!. GIF]! [Let me out! I want Shuiqun!. GIF]! [I'm so anxious!. GIF]!
Lin Xiao's mouth twitched, and he replied ruthlessly in the private chat window:
[He Is Simply God (private chat)]: If you hold it in honestly and harass me with another emoji, your ban will be doubled.
