Chapter 254: To the Moon
The night city of Fuso Street skyscraper H8, which is directly opposite a rocket silo more than a dozen kilometers away.
This is Lucy's apartment, David has been here, but today Lucy said that he was too lazy to take him back to V's apartment in Little Chinatown in Watson District, so that he could spend the night here.
David looked very reserved, he was nervous. Sitting on the windowsill, I don't even know where to put my hands.
Lucy sat on the windowsill, smoking a smoky cigarette and not saying a word.
Moonlight shone through the windows into the house, and both of them were silent and lonely of the same species.
"David."
"Yes, I'm ......," David replied nervously twice.
"You don't fit to stay in this city at all, this city can't accommodate people like you, if there is no V to support you, maybe you don't know where to die for a long time." Lucy said, dropping the cigarette butt and lighting another cigarette.
The whole room was smoky and smelled of smoke.
And David didn't answer, he didn't know how to answer this sentence.
"Run, David, leave Night City, this is not a place for you to stay at all, take your mother and leave Night City quickly, you have no idea how powerful the Arabula Group is, you can't bring down the Aradisa Collective." Lucy continued.
Lucy ...... What are you talking about......" David showed a shocked expression at this time.
"Your plan to bring down the Arashiban Group will not succeed, even if the entire Arabal Group is blown up, they have countless branches around the world, you are just the equivalent of a mouse looking up at the toe of an elephant, thinking that if you cut off this toe, the elephant will die."
Lucy grabbed her hair and seemed to struggle and tangle.
"You...... Where did you find out! David confirmed that he had never revealed the plan, and that the only people who knew about it were himself, V, and Jack.
"It doesn't matter, David, run, run out of reach of the absurd hand while the plan has not yet been implemented." She continued.
"Lucy, I'm sorry." David said, lowering his head, "I can't get out of my body anymore, V almost spent all his savings to save my mother, and now she hasn't woken up, if you take her away, maybe he won't be able to see me in his life." I promised her that I would climb to the top of Night City......"
He stood up and looked at the moon: "V has helped me, so I will help him too, my ability will definitely be able to help them in some aspects, even if it is just to help them deliver goods faster." Also, if both V and Boss can risk their lives to carry out this plan for the sake of not knowing what kind of belief, then I can do it too. ”
He smiled, he hadn't really felt anything since he heard about Levi's plan, but after Gloria was hospitalized, he might have understood something.
Some people want to change the world, and since V has decided to follow that person, he also wants to help V.
"I knew you were going to answer that. You're such a hopeless fool. Lucy tugged at her hair, her hair messed up.
"Lucy, I will also take you to the moon, I checked it on the Internet, a round-trip ticket to the moon only costs 250,000, I will definitely take you to the moon." David said.
"Do you know what you're talking about?"
"I know, so I'm going to make money, whether it's for V, or for Mom, or for you, I'm ...... Woo......"
Suddenly, David's mouth was gagged, and the two embraced each other.
"David, you can't live long in Night City like this, I don't want you to die......"
"Don't worry, I won't die, I run fast, I can run in any danger, I can continue to exercise, the speed of the god can reach sixteen times, or even thirty-two times, when the time comes, I can ......run with everyone," David smiled, and the two hugged each other.
"Lucia Kushida, that's my full name. My father is of Polish origin and my mother is of Japanese descent, and I took my mother's surname when I was a child. ”
"David, David Martinez, also of Polish origin."
……
Far away in the Arita headquarters on Fuso Jidong Island, Arita Saburo, who was so old that he could only stand up with his body and someone to help him, slowly came to a plane to Night City.
He's over 150 years old, he's too old to be old, and a lot of what he's doing now is to extend his life.
Obviously, he was interested in the kind of potion that Araita Yorixuan had recently made in Night City.
Previously, the Araba Group has been researching newer, stronger and more suitable prosthetics for human beings, as well as the "divine opinion" that can upload one's consciousness to the Internet and allow oneself to achieve immortality on the Internet.
But now, Araban Lai Xuan doesn't know where to get this unknown genetic medicine, and the miraculous prion protein in the medicine is a miraculous protein that cannot be produced by the genes of any living thing in the world.
Even after this protein penetrates the whole human body, it will concentrate on the spine and brain, and begin to reverse encode into genes, thereby changing part of the body's totipotent stem cells.
He may have found another path to mechanical ascension, a path to genetically becoming the ultimate creature.
Who wants to live in the form of a life, and whether that data is you, or is it just a ghost of the network that inherits your memories?
In addition, a consciousness replacement experiment that Saburo Araba did fifty years ago failed, and he actually implanted the RELIC chip containing his eldest son, Kei Arita, into the brain of Araba Yorixuan.
Theoretically, the consciousness of Araban Lai Xuan should gradually erode Araban, so that the current Arabani Lai Xuan will become a person who is really "Arabanjing" in his head.
But this time the experiment failed, and Lai Xuan was still Lai Xuan, and he did not become Lai Xuan.
Therefore, Arasaka Saburo didn't have much expectations for this path, and he decided to go to Night City himself after seeing that Araba Yorixuan get that kind of super potion.
"Lord Araba Saburo, the plane is ready." Goro Takemura saluted respectfully, and helped the aging Dragon Bell Saburo Arasaka to get on the plane.
Goro Takemura is Saburo Arasaka's personal bodyguard, and is the strongest reformer of Adam Hammer in Saipei, and even surpasses him, he was rescued by the Arita family since he was a child, and adopted and transformed into Deadpool.
If Adam Hammer is the strongest man in Night City, then he can be called the strongest man in the world right now.
"Lai Xuan, I don't know what he's planning, but since he wants me to go to Night City, then I'll go too." Even though Saburo Arasaka is old, he is still full of dragon-like momentum.
He will not stop his steps, whether it is the entire Arabana Group, or his own plan for eternal life, the road is still extending, this will not stop.
"Let's go."
The plane roared and began to fly to Night City in the Americas, about half a world away.
……
Today Lucy didn't send David to school, he went by himself on the light rail through the navigation.
But today he is very happy, incomparably happy, he has found his purpose, and he has found the person he wants to protect for the rest of his life.
He has to learn to make money, he has to start exercising his abilities, and as V said, he also needs to be a man and take on the responsibilities of a family.
He shook his legs and watched as the light rail stopped in front of the station.
Fusang Street is not far from the Araban Square, after all, this street was funded and drained by the Araban, and it is only about five kilometers away from the Araban.
He came to the school as usual, and suddenly, at this time, V made a phone call.
"David, don't contact me for a while, take care of Gloria, and wait for me for a while." V's voice came to mind, and I don't know why, as if I was explaining what was going on.
"V, is something going to happen?" David asked.
"Don't ask, the more you know, the faster you die, I will put the rest of the money into your card, take care of your mother, and after a while, at most two months, I will be back." V continued.
"Is it time to carry out the plan?"
"Well, the potion you asked for is now in my apartment, as for the rest, I have already agreed with Levi, tomorrow you go directly to see Levi, he is the one who pulled me up single-handedly, I believe him." V continued.
I don't know why, David always feels like V is like explaining what happened, and I don't know why he has a flustered heart for some reason.
"V, is there anything I can do to help?"
"Taking care of your mother is the biggest help, okay, you can continue to go to and from school normally." V's phone hangs up.
David had been in the Wasteland for a long time, and he might have guessed that V was going to carry out those plans, but he was still too weak to help.
However, he could help in another way, and since V and Levi wanted to sell the Super Gene Elixir everywhere, he would at least help them in this regard.
Thinking like this, David slowly walked into the Arakuban Academy.
Here, even though V is now his stepfather, he still can't fit into the aristocratic circle of the Aradist Academy.
Maybe to the other noble young masters, he is just a nouveau riche, and he is still the kind of mother who is on Kaizi's list.
Just like in ancient times, a group of filial officials suddenly appeared to buy an official, and the scholars would not take him to play, and looked down on them from the bottom of their hearts.
But, in essence, they are all the same.
After class, Tanaka brought a group of people to find trouble with David, and the last time the two fought, it was V who came to settle it.
But this time, David didn't show a fighting attitude, he was already different from the stunned young man before, he smiled and said: "Tanaka-san, we have brought it before, and now, I have good goods here, are you interested in taking a look?" ”
"Huh? Isn't it the kind of illegal 18 forbidden black Mewtwo? Who wants to look at that, and boy, the account between us has to be settled. Tanaka snapped his fingers and made a caka sound.
