Skytrain express shuttle.
David stepped on the sewage on the ground, passed by a few homeless people huddled in the corner, and two bodies lying next to the trash can, and walked towards the rental house.
Behind you, police sirens roared.
A disheveled woman walked out of a dark corner, looking extremely tired, as if she had just experienced one or more inhuman tortures.
Academy is unreal.
Reality of life.
Dropping out of school to become a mercenary was the most appropriate path. David had a clear idea, but unfortunately he could only think about it. Carrying his mother's dream, he entered Arasaka Company after graduation, and then climbed to the top of the tower in the center of the city step by step. .
In fact, he wanted to vent his heart several times, but was unable to offend Tanaka. He eventually became obsessed with Black Mewtwo, and there were violent scenes of cybermaniacs.
Inside the door.
"Did something happen at school?"
Gloria, who looked to be in her thirties and had long brown-red hair, stared at her son curiously.
"Well, Lu Li doesn't resist making friends with me and actively invites us to play together tomorrow."
"That's great. I've always heard you say that he is different from the descendants of those high-ranking people. Get along well with him."
Gloria, wearing a fluorescent yellow uniform, stood up, but her feet failed to stand firm and she almost fell.
"Ah, I have only slept for more than an hour and I am about to go out..." She knocked on her head, her face was extremely pale, and she was obviously overtired.
As an NCPD outsourced agent, you must be on call at all times. You must rush over when a case is called and be responsible for moving corpses and other chores.
In a place like Night City, there is no need to keep statistics on the crime rate. After joining the job, you say goodbye to rest, and the income is not ideal.
In addition, David did not know that the reason why he was able to attend Arasaka Academy was because his mother often secretly took away prosthetic bodies from corpses and sold them on the black market.
In order for her son to have a stable and better future, this woman gave almost everything. It is not an exaggeration to say that she burned her own life.

at the same time.
Westbrook District, Japan Street.
The most famous entertainment center in Night City, this place will never disappoint any customer. People often say that if you have money, go to Genting, where you will find the best Mewtwo and girls. If you don’t have money, go to Twisted Street, where there are cheap but practical restaurants. services.
Worms are a very fresh ingredient.
Most people eat synthetic meat and synthetic vegetables, and no one is picky about technology or hard work.
Whether it is pork or beef, as long as it is natural meat and organic ingredients, the price is absolutely prohibitive, and only the real top people are qualified to taste it.
For them, night is by no means the end, but the beginning of entertainment and relaxation. High-quality prosthetics, high-quality nutrients, and a short nap every day can restore extremely strong energy.
The girls were dancing enthusiastically, under the pink and purple lights, causing bursts of cheers.
Tianzhong obviously put a lot of effort into entertaining Lu Li, including all kinds of organic food and carefully selected women, but he didn't dare to be interested.
White hair.
The face is delicate and cold.
What's wrong?
After thinking about it for a while, Tanaka didn't bother to dwell on it anymore after he couldn't think of an answer, because Lu Li had already shown enough goodwill. They put their arms around each other, smiled and talked about the recent news and some gossip about the company.
Before leaving, Tanaka hugged a woman with a slender waist and a lot of raw material on her body.
Lu Li took another look.
Now that he has temporarily cleared out the yellow waste, he will not be confused by this sight at all, but there is a line of Chinese characters on the smooth waist, which makes people feel familiar and a little bit emotional.
[To the land of the soul]
A black arrow points to the round and round buttocks. Tanaka... there must be something wrong with his aesthetics.
"The world is crazy."
Various lights intertwined, the night breeze blew across his cheeks, Lu Li stepped into a special car and sat quietly in the back seat. What will it be like four months from now?
For a moment, he wanted to use the authority in his hand to completely indulge in madness, and then wait for the day when the protective umbrella disappeared, find a place to blow himself up, and set off a grand fireworks in the Night City. Someone would be able to see it, and his life would not be in vain.
But... Lu Li was more inclined to struggle to stay alive. Even living in exile was better than death.
A new day.
Contempt, ridicule, disdain.
David saw all kinds of negative emotions in the eyes of his classmates. Only Lu Li smiled and nodded to him as a greeting. His eyes were almost the same as before, very calm, with an elegant attitude that would not panic even if the sky fell.
However, who would have thought that he was secretly obsessed with that type of Black Mewtwo?
drop.
Cut off contact.
Ignoring the trash talk from Tanaka, David enjoyed a moment of peace and began class.
The seemingly calm Lu Li's heart beat slightly faster. If I remember correctly, an accident would happen next, which would become the trigger that changed the fate of the "civilian freak".
Kakaka——
The blue holographic projection in front began to flash, as if it was unstable, or maybe Teacher Al had been infected by a mysterious virus. When his head tilted, a large number of black spots appeared on his body, and various tiny sounds were heard.
An explosion followed soon after.
The lights on the ceiling cracked, and most people covered their heads and began to curse.
The target is a freak.
"David Martinez!"
Tanaka stood up violently, clenched his fists and stared at David fiercely, as if he wanted to crush him to death on the spot.
It's over...how much do you have to pay?
If Arasaka students hadn't all used high-end products, it would not have been as simple as being electrocuted by David's pirated software. A large number of ordinary schools would have died as a result.
Similar to the first period of life, everyone is taking online classes, and someone joins in, causing the virus to spread wantonly, all data and messages are lost, and there is a risk that the device will explode and be taken away.
Who doesn’t hate the other person?
"I'll help."
"Thank you, Lu Li."
The development was beyond David’s imagination.
Gloria, who was struggling to find a part-time job to support her son's studies, was doused with cold water when she suddenly received a notice from Arasaka Academy.
Ordered to drop out of school!
Because her son installed a black market pirated program from an unknown source to upgrade the Mewtwo Ring. As a result, during the remote teaching, the college system crashed, along with other students' expensive Mewtwo Rings.
"Mr. Principal, please give him another chance. I will compensate you in full."
Gloria humbly begged the principal, and after getting permission, she drove David away from Arasaka Tower.
Poverty is the source of disaster.
The mother told her son to upgrade to the genuine version. The son knew that the family was in trouble and the mother was overtired, so she chose to upgrade with pirated software.
Ultimately, a lot of money needs to be compensated.
"Perhaps I can apply for a loan from Lu Li. For someone whose father is a corporate dog, these are nothing. Buying a customized version of Mewtwo may not even be enough."
"As soon as something happened, he said he would help."
Hearing this, Gloria felt wary in her heart. The other party was too enthusiastic and she couldn't help but remind her son.
"mom!"
Didn't wait for an answer.
Because at some point, a gold-cased heavy machine gun appeared by the car window, pointing at the mother and son, but before the reminder was finished, crazy firepower was poured out.
Gang fight!
Next to him, on a pink off-road vehicle, a muscular man was roaring while carrying a red RPG rocket launcher.
The old car was almost riddled with holes. Gloria tried her best to steer away from the disaster and struggled for a moment. David, who was unfortunately involved, was enveloped in despair and watched helplessly as the mechanical debris hit him head on.
When he regained consciousness, his mother had been thrown out of the car and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead, surrounded by a sea of flames.
David wanted to get out of the predicament and go out to rescue his mother, but he was also faced with being engulfed in flames and was seriously injured, unable to even save himself.
Can anyone help me?
It seemed that God was moved by the devout prayers. A float vehicle landed in front of him at a high speed, and two medical staff wearing green health suits rushed out.
"Trauma team, help!"
As long as she received prompt treatment from the trauma team, the mother's life was not in any danger.
However, despair struck again.
The medical staff came to David in full gear and completed the identity scan instantly:
"He's not a customer."
"Neither is this woman."
"Guarantee the customer's personal safety, and leave the others to the municipal corpse truck."
The words are cold and shatter the dawn.
"What are you doing? Are you going to leave us to die?! Bastard!"
"Mom, wake up."
"Damn it, get up quickly."
…
The lights in the medical clinic were particularly dark and eerie. David, wearing a tattered college uniform, sat in the corridor and stared at the light sign.
【in surgery】
As the sign went out, the doctor came out, wearing only a bib, a green mask and a dust cap.
Without explaining the patient's condition first, the robotic arm kept clicking on the electronic tablet, calculating the cost.
"Successful, but she is still in a coma and has not yet regained consciousness. We will arrange hospitalization and observe her for a few days."
"Can I see her?"
"No, the cheapest package does not include visits."
After a series of conversations, David was lost and confused, and the doctor kindly reminded him: "This is why everyone in Night City buys insurance."
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman who had been torn into pieces and only the main body remained appeared suddenly, held by a muscular man more than two meters tall.
"Sorry, I wanted to help you solve this problem at night, but something unfortunate happened."
"But everything can be made up for."
"This is a clinic controlled by organ traffickers. The cheapest treatment package does not include treatment services at all. It just defrauds people of money, disassembles the patient's organs and sells them."
With the sound of footsteps, Lu Li appeared around the corner, his expression still calm, but he seemed to be David's true savior.
Vaguely, Dr. Hei could feel the anger and disgust in his tone, especially after mentioning the word organ. However, a big shot with bodyguards following him at all times should be aloof...
I’ll have another free day and start writing the main story dungeon tomorrow.
