Chapter 1 Say My Name
Raising his leg and kicking away the flat cans stacked in the doorway, the boy lowered his head slightly and put his hands in his pockets, the sound of drunks lying in the aisle.
"Why... I'm going to drink it again. β
"Gross..."
"Bastard Stanley! Bastard, shut up, shut your beak! I don't want to know what Dead Man's Lotto is! β
"It hurts, it hurts, Corsia, why are you leaving me..."
The fifteen-year-old boy calmly treats everything that happens around him, he is used to it.
Born in this city since childhood, growing up in the ghost place of Santo Domingo, even if he is well protected by his mother, there are some things that his mother can't stop, and she won't stop it.
Although she never allowed herself to touch a gun...
Santo Domingo, a place where many ordinary people come in every day, and here, they live in poor little rooms and look forward to a better tomorrow.
But it won't be long before the city changes the minds of these fools,
This is a realistic city, and the reality is extreme, beautiful dreams never belong to ordinary people, or go with the flow, or break your bones, or... Just do nothing and get by.
The guy at the bottom wants to be the little cog of the city?
It's ridiculous... Without the city, everyone will continue to operate as usual.
"I... What will it look like in the future? Can I really be a company employee? β
With a self-deprecating laugh, a glint flashed in the boy's eyes, and the old automatic door in front of him "clicked" open, and the boy walked into the house.
The LED lights don't illuminate the room brightly, and after turning on the headlights, David looks at the messy living room, with a few clothes on the sofa and a woman's simple bra.
On the flat table close to him, there were all kinds of drinks that had been drunk, and a few cigarette butts that had been sucked up to the butt were thrown into the bottles, and a foul smell of smoke filled the room.
"Tsk!"
"Lorante, that guy is here again, isn't he? Mom, I remember I told you more than once, right? I said, if I ever see him at home again, I'll beat him to the point where I won't even recognize him! Didn't you tell him? How the did he dare to come to our house? β
Shouting towards a door, David put his coat down, a slight anger on his face.
No one in his house smokes, after all, it's fucking 2076, and he's still fucking smoking?
"Uh, David, you're back?" A voice rang out, and Gloria stepped out of the door, rubbing her red hair, a little red on her beautiful white neck and shoulders.
Seeing this, David rolled his eyes, looked at his mother and said, "Look, he's really here again, right?" β
As he spoke, David turned around and was about to leave angrily.
He's going to look for him, and that guy lives in a trench not far away, running a small private clinic that no one cares about!
Small clinic, ha, he'll see a fart sick him!
Gloria hurriedly spoke up to stop him.
David turned around, his face angry.
"Uhh β
"Pull it down, you first put the mark on your neck! And then say you didn't do anything! David glared at Gloria and said angrily.
Gloria hurriedly pulled her clothes up to cover the strawberry marks next to the chip plug on her neck, and walked up to her and said to David: "David, I think you have to have some respect for him, he watched you grow up, he... Helps me often. β
"What do I have to say to him? You make me respect him? David picked up a bottle of wine, took a sip of it, choked on the corners of his mouth and said, "Mom, that person is an idle waste!" β
David raised his head and looked at Gloria, full of dissatisfaction, and said: "I don't mind if you go to find a man, don't worry about me, Mom, I've grown up, but you, you have to at least find a proper job, no matter how bad it is... All in all, I don't like people like him. β
"No, David, you don't know him at all." Gloria shook her head with a wry smile.
At first, the relationship between David and him was not like this, but as David grew up, they got along more and more unharmoniously.
This gave Gloria a headache.
"Did he give you the money?" David said suddenly.
"What do you say?"
Gloria was stunned for a moment, then her eyes instantly turned red, and after understanding what David meant, she looked at David angrily: "David Martinez, the relationship between me and him is not what you think, what are you thinking?" β
"Then I'd rather your relationship be what I thought, at least, he can still give some money, instead of coming to you when he runs out of money, idle, and coming to live at home every once in a while."
"David! I worked hard to earn money to support you and provide you with education, so that you can say this to me..."Gloria looked at David, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, her red eyes overflowed with tears, seeing Gloria like this, David quickly stood up, touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly:
"Okay, Mom, it's me who was wrong, it's me who is wrong, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have talked like that, I shouldn't have thought that your relationship with Uncle Lorant was not pure, it was me who was wrong, right?"
"Your relationship is the purest, the purest, you, don't cry." David stood in front of Gloria, looking a little distracted.
"You-" Gloria bit her lip and held back her tears when she saw David, who was hunched down and bowed her head.
"Go back to your room!" Gloria reached out and whispered at David.
"Yes, yes, I'll go, no, I'll get out." David touched his head, picked up the clothes on the table, and quickly slipped into his room.
Closing the door, David lay on his back on the bed, and he sighed heavily at the thought of Gloria's previous appearance.
All right...
"I'm not qualified to say anything about my mother's life, at least, I don't have it now."
David clearly knows how hard Gloria is, she has to work sixteen hours a day, and the stimulants are eaten as desserts, because the money earned is used to support her own education, so Gloria's body is not equipped with a prosthesis, so the long hours of work make her flesh and blood decline, David knows this very well.
It can be seen from the fact that she now falls asleep when she touches the sofa.
Thinking of this, and thinking of what he had just said to his mother, David wanted to punch himself.
What kind of bastard am I talking about...
Secretly thinking to himself, David shook his head again and whispered, "But, but I just don't look down on him." β
With a vicious remark, David put on the household headband, and then took out a small chip from the head of the bed.
Today, my mother had a rare rest at home, and after thinking about it, in order not to disturb her sleep, David chose to watch a less exciting Mewtwo.
At least, he can't yell at all.
......
Just as David watched Mewtwo and started entertaining, Gloria connected a phone call.
"Hello?" There was a flirtatious, lazy voice on the other end.
"What do you mean by giving me money?" Gloria said angrily, "Also, where did you get all that money?" β
"Huh? Is it wrong for me to give you money? The voice was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile.
"You come to me, after intimacy, give me money, Lin Wen, what do you think of me? Are we just buying and selling? If you want to solve your needs, you can take your money and go to a sex partner instead of me! Gloria gritted her teeth, if she received the money at another time, she would be happy to accept it, and kiss him on the face, and then be intimate, because it was a huge amount of money! Not only can it be used to subsidize the family, but it can also replace David with a good set of equipment and buy a few good chips for him to use.
But
But she had just quarreled with her own son!
She's angry right now!
Thinking of her previous words, Gloria became even angrier.
Exactly like what his son said, he gave himself money...
When you don't give well, you just have to be at this time!
"What are you thinking?"
In the paup, or, rather, in a not-so-bad slum in Santo Domingo, in a small room with a sign engraved with the words "Doctor without a Faceββββ
A man with black hair over his shoulders put his slender legs on the table, his hands against his head and leaned back, his handsome face full of laughter.
The chair on his legs creaked, and he squinted and said, "Gloria, did you eat the gun?" I managed to make a business and earn some money for you, and you even said that about me. β
"I, I'm just worried about where you got this money." Gloria's voice was a little quieter, and her tone was a little looser.
"Don't worry, it's a serious business, I'm just like David said, I'm a waste with no ability, how dare I do something risky?" Lin Wen smiled.
"You're not trash." Gloria said immediately.
Lin Wen smiled, and then, with a flick of his wrist, a black spear tip slipped out of his sleeve, and then, Lin Wen aimed the tip of the spear that exuded a black luster at the man who was kneeling under the table.
"Gloria, take the money and buy a good set of learning equipment for that stinky boy of David, I've heard that he has been counted out because of software problems. The people in the Arakuban Academy are all noble sons, he wears old equipment every day, and his situation is not too good. He's been bullied at school, and he's going to get mad at me when he comes home, and I don't want the next time I see that stinky boy at your house, he'll have to kick me away again, even though he didn't succeed once. β
"That's right, yes, but Lin Wen, this money... It's just too much. Gloria continued, "I'll give you half of it, right?" I'm not polite to you, half of it is enough for me and David for a while, and I... Wages are coming soon. β
"Of course you don't have to be polite to me, Gloria, you saved my life, and if you hadn't picked me up in the first place, I would have died on the street."
"These are two different things."
"It's the same thing, my dear, do you and I need to talk so much about each other?" Lin Wen said with a smile, some soft color flashed in his eyes, and he said again: "Okay, I'll hang up first, and I still have something to deal with." β
"You-" Gloria's words could not be finished before Lin Wen hung up the communication.
Feet off the table, the next second.
"Ah!!h
A miserable scream rang out, his teeth slammed into the ground, and he jumped out with blood, and the whole face of the man under the table sank into the tiles.
If it weren't for the change of a plated face, then this would be enough for him to return to the West.
"Spare me, spare me," the man said tremblingly, and his strong body shrunk into a ball, like a quail terrified to the extreme.
"Poofβ" He was answered by his own screams.
Lin Wen stabbed the half-pitch-black tip of the gun into the man's back.
Looking at the man on the ground who was wailing and screaming, but didn't dare to move, Lin Wen said, "Who asked you to come?" β
Retrieving the tip of the gun, the man's metal lung piece was penetrated and brought out, Lin Wen flicked the gun in disgust, and the lung piece fell not far away, and when it landed on the ground, there was a crisp "poof" sound, and the iron sounded.
But after thinking about it, Lin Wen immediately picked it up with a gun.
The short gun in his hand turned out to change, it began to grow longer, and the tip of the gun formed a curved hook, and then hooked the lung piece.
Although this prosthetic lung was stabbed by himself, it was also a lot of money...
Santo Domingo is full of poor people, after all, it is a ghost place with power outages at every turn, is it an industrial area? Hmm, Lin Wen didn't know.
In fact, there are wounded every day, but Lin Wen's business has never been very good.
Well, once in a while, when you receive a business, it's also two euros and five euros of hard work... To be honest, this lung film is not a bargain at first glance, and once it is sold, it will have to start with a few hundred euros.
Why don't you try to be a prosthetist too?
Inappropriate... His craft can kill these modified people who don't talk like words.
Well, in short, the price of prosthetic bodies of organoids will not be too cheap.
I need to make more money, after all, I am not alone anymore, unlike before.
Being able to find someone who is really good to him in this ghost world, of course Lin Wen has to cherish it.
"I, I'm just here to find out the news..."His eyes were dark, he said tremblingly, "The gangs in this area were cleaned up overnight, and many gangs have lost control of this place, but the strange thing is that no one has come forward to take charge of this place, which makes some people wonder, I, I was hired, just come in to find out what happened..."
"Asking for news? Do you need to bring in a dozen heavily armed men to find out the news? Lin Wen flicked the hook, threw the prosthetic lung piece on the greasy and dirty table, and reached out to press his head, the hook turned back into a black gun, and Lin Wen wiped the tip of the gun around his neck.
He smiled and asked him to raise his head.
Behind Lin Wen, all around,
The ground was littered with stump bones, blood and oil, and the walls were splattered with scarlet and white flowers.
The walls of the small room resemble a red-and-white painting, a painting that is not so pretty, but full of art.
Joke, this is a wall painting that takes dozens of lives to paint, and of course it's art.
In this small room, Lin Wen's cigarette could not suppress the stench of blood.
The cold tip of the gun and the greasy touch of the prosthetic lung tablets made the man tremble, and looking at the smiling and kind Lin Wen, he hurriedly said: "The middleman said that this generation is very dangerous, let me remember to be careful, I thought about it, so I brought more people over..."
"You, you still haven't told me the truth." Lin Wen sighed.
"What I say is true! I, what I said is true! Hearing his regretful sigh, the man seemed to guess what would happen next, and hurriedly roared.
"No, you and I both know that what you're telling is a lie."
"You're just bullying me, you're not a hacker, are you?" Holding his foot against his head stretched forward, Lin Wen continued: "You guessed it, I really don't know those things, what kind of invasion, implants and the like, staring at people will die or something, I won't, I have low intelligence and can't learn." β
The man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"But..."Lin Wen looked at him meaningfully.
The man with a puzzled face and a flat face raised his head: "Huh? β
The black spear in his hand turned into a sharp blade, and with a flash of silver light, a head fell off the ground, and after rolling twice, he faced Lin Wen, his eyes were full of astonishment and puzzlement.
ββββThat's... My body?
How long has it been since I looked in the mirror? It turns out that I, am I that strong?
Have I reinvented myself into this?
First, a little blood oozed from the headless neck, and then a gushing fountain of blood.
Lin Wen left the stool and lifted the man's head.
Began to look up for his information.
After half a ring, Lin Wen, who was in a hurry, found a phone.
Well, once again, he knew that he was not going to be a hacker in his life.
Lin Wen: Do you like my intelligence 3?
The phone was connected, and the other end was the first to speak: "How is the situation?" Did you find out what was going on? β
"This guy called Bone Jaw is your man?" Lin Wen said.
"Who are you?" The voice on the other end was cold, "What did you do to Leon?" β
"You're looking for me, you don't know who I am?" Lin Wen played with his head, and when he was dying, his eyes were still full of incomprehension and reluctance.
There was silence on the other end of the line.
"Say my name, broker." Lin Wen said coldly.
The man over there sighed and said, "You are really alive, I will compensate you for this matter, if you need anything, just mention it." β
"I say, say my name."
"I'm just working for someone else, it's the company that inquired about you, it's the people from the military technology company, and that's all I can say, I hope you can forgive me for my mistakes."
"Didn't you hear me?" Lin Wen said.
"What do you want me to do? I can make it up to you, my lord, as you say, I'm just a humble middleman... I'm just doing my job, I'm just passing on the words of those people. And I let Bone Chin go in alone, I didn't expect him to offend you, my lord, to be forgiving and forgiving...", the owner of the voice softened and whispered.
If Leon was still alive, he would probably have a hellish expression.
After all, in the eyes of these mercenaries, this dangerous person who always has a cold face and is extremely mysterious.
But now, he is pitiful, and he almost said the word begging for mercy directly.
Lin Wen was silent.
Rather, there was the sound of rapid and restless breathing.
After half a ring, Lin Wencai said: "One hundred thousand euros, one less, I will go to you in person." β
It was a huge amount of money, but the person over there did not hesitate and immediately said, "Thank you, thank you!" I'll find someone to transfer the money to you. β
"Also, my place is dirty, find someone to clean it up for me." Lin Wen looked at the wreckage on the ground and said.
"No problem, but my people..."
"Just let them in, Santo Domingue is safe compared to the others, oh, beware of the madmen."
While picking up the corpse and removing the useful things, Lin Wen said to the other end.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Wen already had a bunch of parts in his arms.
But in addition to the prosthetic body on the bone chin, the parts on the little brothers he brought are all rags, think about it, the poor ghost at the bottom put on a few iron plates and call himself cyberpunk, think he's super cool, and he rebels and thinks he can run to block bullets, well, but in fact, these iron farts are useless, but... It's worth a few bucks.
Put it in a bag and hang it on the wall, Lin Wen didn't worry about losing it, because he knew that the person sent by that guy wouldn't dare to mess with his things.
Subsequently, Lin Wen made a phone call-
"Hello? You hang..."
Gloria was easily entangled, so Lin Wen hurriedly interrupted her, and said in frustration: "Gloria, I may not have a place to live today." β
"Is this what's going on? Are you okay now? The voice on the other end immediately became anxious, "I'll go over now..."
Being able to hear the voice of caring about himself in this shit-like city, Lin Wen's heart was a little hot.
Hearing that Gloria was coming over, Lin Wen looked around and immediately refused: "Anla, Anla, I actually don't have anything, I just want to say, at night... Can I go to your place? β
"David was at home at night..."
"You just secretly open the door for me."
"Okay, but you'll have to sleep on the couch."
Lin Wen grinned: "Okay." β
Sleeping on the couch?
Are you kidding!
When the time comes, just sneak in...
It's not the first time I've done this kind of thing, anyway...

PSοΌ
After reading the Edge Walker, my heart was surging, and I wanted to write something out.
To put it bluntly, this is the first cyberpunk drama I've watched, and I don't know much about cyberpunk culture (but I've been crazy lately!). In fact, I wanted to write on the 18th, but I knew too little to write. οΌ
Although 2077 played in the cloud for the first time, I remember watching a certain fantasy video at the time, but after all, I haven't played it myself, and so many years have passed, and I have almost forgotten a lot of things and content.
So I went to play a game, and then I plan to play it myself, I don't know cyber culture, but at least to know the world view of 2077, at least to know what Night City is like, right?
As a result, it was downloaded and opened...
Send!
My computer configuration is not enough woo woo woo woo woo wow tell me that the program hangs up as soon as I open it, upgrade the system and the graphics card shows something, you can only pinch people, and you have to enter the game and crash again, what a person!
Mirasan,If there's anything written that you think is unreasonable,Then you can point it out in the comment area,I'll change it if it's useful for the plot.,I also hope you can give me popular science.,After all, the 28-hour video screen of station B is fast-forwarded... Hi, I'll watch it!
