Chapter 15: Are You Ready for Death?
"Whew-"
Spit out the smoke ring, Lin Wen stood under the street lamp, walking aimlessly with David.
The oversized road, the staggered flyovers reflecting the silver and black brilliance, the high floors of large companies, the holographic yellow croaker that can be seen in the daytime from afar, the civic center and Santo Domingo are two looks, a city, all living beings, this gap between the rich and the poor...
Lin Wen touched the back of his head, and David obediently followed him.
There are a lot of people on this main road, but no one will deliberately pay attention to the two native goods, in Night City, there will only be two situations for the guy who can be the original goods, one is the rich, so rich that they don't need to rely on prosthetics to improve their lifespan and physical functions, but rely on more gentle biological and genetic technology, and the other is the poor people who can't buy the prosthetics.
After all, there are too many limitations of the prosthesis, and no one can guarantee that a bold genius hacker will come out that day, and you will melt your brain with two clicks, right?
As for how to tell, heh, wouldn't that be easier?
Those high-status rich people will not travel like this, the bodyguard convoy is full, and the police station will also send troops to disperse the people.
So, who would pay too much attention to two poor sour native goods on the road?
Convict?
This is not Watson and Santo Domingo, where the security is still reliable during the day, and the big companies don't allow the gangsters to make trouble here in the daytime, is it really that the NCPD eats for nothing in Night City?
Lin Wen walked aimlessly with David until he came to a small alley, raised his head and looked up, Lin Wen turned his head to look at David.
"Come here."
"Do what?" David asked, and walked up.
Lin Wen stretched out his hand, grabbed David's arm, and then pulled hard, lifting David's armpit and lifting him up.
"Hey ?!!" David panicked and immediately tried to struggle, but he could only be useful.
Just like that, Lin Wen dropped the cigarette, stepped on it with his foot, and then looked up, and then, Lin Wen raised his foot and kicked the wall, and grabbed what he could grasp with his free hand.
"Whoa—"
"Ahhhh You, what are you doing! ”
Just flew out of the height of a four-story building, David looked down at this height, instantly frightened, his sideburns were sweaty, his legs and feet were weak, and he reacted directly with his hands and legs wrapped around Lin Wen, his face was blown by the wind, he closed his eyes in horror and roared loudly.
"Stinky boy, be quiet for me, don't wait for people to hear the sound and come out with a gun to beat us."
"Do you want to fall?" Lin Wen said to David angrily.
If someone is beaten with a gun as a thief, it is really a wrongful death.
Saying... V in the game seems to climb tall buildings like this a lot?
Double jump, damn Lin Wen was a little speechless when it came to this, I don't know how V did it, Lin Wen jumped much higher than V, it's not an exaggeration to say that it is several times that of V, but why can't Lin Wen double jump?
Anyway, isn't the double jump really a skill that can only be found in the martial arts world? What left foot on right foot, ladder cloud vertical or something...
"You, you're insane!"
David opened his mouth and scolded, but the wind poured frantically into his mouth, and what he wanted to say became "Woo Wow Ula Yili!" ”
"What are you muttering?" Lin Wen muttered, and then took David up in this way.
Dozens of floors high, Lin Wen only took more than ten seconds to climb to the top.
This speed...
David opened his eyes and looked at the fright in front of him, his back was already soaked.
"Where is this?"
"Tiantai, can't you see it?"
"I, how did I get up?"
"I brought you up."
Letting go of his hand and putting the frightened David on the rooftop, Lin Wen took out two cans of drinks from behind him with a smile, and then handed them to David, who reacted and began to kneel on the ground and retch.
"Gross..."
"Drink?"
David glanced at it, shook his head, wiped the water stains from the corners of his mouth with his hands, and said weakly: "Don't, I don't drink carbonated drinks... And now, vomit! Lin Wen, I'm so uncomfortable. ”
"It's really unproductive, and you still want to install Sianweistein like you?" Lin Wen snorted, teased David, opened the drink, Lin Wen took a sip, and then walked to the parapet in front of him, sitting on the parapet, Lin Wen looked at the scene of Night City.
The apartment isn't very tall, but you can already see a lot of things in Night City.
And interestingly, from here, you can see a lot of Santo Domingo.
Most of them are red bricks, buildings with yellow triangle signs or red triangle signs, those are dangerous buildings, there are a lot of people living in them, and the place where Gloria and David live can be considered better.
David staggered to his feet, walked behind Lin Wen, lifted Lin Wen's clothes directly, and looked at Lin Wen's back, "This, this, how is this possible!" ”
As he spoke, he pulled up Lin Wen's trouser leg again and looked at Lin Wen's calf.
"Boom!"
"Hiss-" David, who was pulling Lin Wen's trouser leg, immediately let go of his hand, and then covered his head with his hands that had tears of pain coming out, and bent down to look at Lin Wen, who was sitting sideways.
Putting away the knife, Lin Wen looked at David funny, and said loudly: "What are you doing?" Come and sit down, we've got to have a good talk. For Gloria's sake, and for you. ”
"Why don't you have a prosthetic body?" David asked a mindless question.
"Prosthetics? I'm a native product, and of course I don't have those things. ”
"And you, then how did you get up?" David poked his head out to look downstairs, then retracted his body in an instant.
High, so tall!
This is an apartment building in the Civic Center area, so it's more than 100 meters away, right?
But how did Lin Wen bring himself up?
He took someone with him, and then nothing, and came up on a pair of native legs?
You're going to load a prosthetic leg that can breathe fire and fly, and David thinks it's acceptable!
Is this the native leg?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
I, David Martinez, am not a fool!
Looking at David's startled appearance, Lin Wen certainly knew what David was thinking, so he said funny:
"Okay, I know you have a lot of questions to ask me now, but don't ask too much, it won't do you much good now, and I'll tell you when the time comes."
"I still can't believe it, since you, since you are so powerful, then why are you..."David looked at Lin Wen and stumbled and said.
He used to think this guy was a piece of rubbish!
But now that I look at it, he has a few cyberpunk friends who look very powerful, and then he can easily take out tens of thousands of euros, and a pair of legs can... Anyway, if this was waste, David felt like he could jump from here by now.
Rubbish?
Monster!
"Why? You're asking me why I'm still here, right? ”
David nodded.
"Because I like my life now, can't I?" Lin Wen said, took out another cigarette case, well, there were three left.
Take out one and take out the lighter and light it.
Ha, I suddenly thought of the hacker who came with Sasha, it seems to be called Qiwei?
She lit a cigarette much more chic than she did.
Or... Modding a finger?
Hey, forget it, unless Lin Wen breaks it himself, the prosthetic doctor wants to change Lin Wen's fingers and use a kinetic gun to hit it without a hole.
David saw that Lin Wen was about to smoke again, so he pinched his nose and said, "Why do you like smoking so much?" ”
"One?" Lin Wen was stunned for a moment, and then handed the lit cigarette to David with a smile.
David hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "I don't smoke." ”
"In the past, smoking in public was immoral, and it hurt yourself and others, but now it's an age when you can easily change your organs, what's wrong with me smoking a cigarette? Isn't there oil pumping on the street every day? ”
"You seem to have lived a long time? How old are you? David found that he really didn't know anything about Lin Wen.
"Anyway, I'll be your father, you won't suffer."
"Dad, Dad, you're big." David turned his head and put his hands in his trouser pockets.
"I don't know who cried and cried with the doctor yesterday and said that my dad will come later, I said, do you kid call me dad when you need it?" Lin Wen looked at David, and then said, "Anyway, we've been together for several years. ”
"Don't talk about this, let's get down to business first, Lin Wen, what do you want to tell me?"
David is used to Lin Wen's inattention, it's funny to say, he used to look like this, David would only feel disgusted, but now seeing Lin Wen sitting on the wall out of tune, looking at himself with cigarettes between his fingers, David actually thinks Lin Wen is very mysterious...
"Talk about what you want to do in the future, in fact, I am different from Gloria, I don't want you to go to the company, but you have never resisted Gloria, you have always guarded Gloria's dreams, so you ignore your own ideas. But since you're willing to do it, and Gloria wants you to do it, then I don't have much to say. ”
"But now it's different, David, I can tell that you really want to install Swystein, but you know what? After pressing San Weistan, you can easily enter the sight of that group of people, of course they won't go around looking for you for a broken body, but the Wild Board Academy is right under their noses, pretending to be that thing and still want to study, don't you send it to the door for others to eat?
Sixteen-year-old poor student can adapt to Ann Weistein, you... Any idea what this means? So you only have two options now, either make it clear to Gloria and drop out of school to find another way out. Or give up on the idea and continue reading honestly. ”
Lin Wen opened his mouth and said.
As for why the attitude of the few women in the ward was different from that when they heard David say that they were going to install Sianweistan, it was because Lin Wen knew very well that David was really able to control Sianweistan.
Moreover, Lin Wen did not contribute less.
Cell Activation (Legendary) is a skill that doesn't just do medical treatment.
David's spiritual and physical strength itself far exceeds that of ordinary ordinary people, and with the help of Lin Wen, it is the long body of David who grows up fast.
Ordinary people use Shaft a few times a day is amazing, but David... Without harming his body, he was able to easily use it five or six times, and at the risk of his life, David could use it to double digits.
This has to be known to the people in the company, isn't this just a living human guinea pig?
And it's still a guinea pig among mice, and when the time comes, he will enter the company and become a public official? Are you kidding...
David will only be used to experiment with various weapons, and because of his identity, they don't care about David's mental problems, if it's broken, then just change to a guinea pig. Is there a shortage of talented guinea pigs in this world?
There's no shortage of them.
What, talented people to make good use of?
As I have already said, there are more talented people in this world, as a few major companies that control the world, there are countless talents under it, and David can only rank in the middle and upper reaches when he enters, and the so-called talent is relatively better than ordinary people.
Hawkers, in short, in Lin Wen's eyes, no one will be special, ah... Except for V.
I don't know how that small body is stuffed with so many prosthetics, what Cybertron V Earthquake?
After listening to Lin Wen's words, David pondered for a long time, and finally raised his head and asked Lin Wen, "What do you think I should choose?" ”
"I'm not going to make a choice for you, David, it's your choice."
"As I've already said, Gloria's choice isn't bad, and although I hate the company, I have to admit that it's safer than the life of a game punk, but that life will be boring. But if you choose another path, David, I ask you. ”
Lin Wen turned around, put his legs down, he hugged his chest and looked directly into David's eyes, and his tone suddenly became cold.
At this moment, it seemed that there was blood emanating from around Lin Wen's body, which made David stunned suddenly, and subconsciously opened his mouth and took a step back, David put his hand in front of him and made a protective action.
In Lin Wen's body, David seemed to see... Mountains of corpses and a sea of blood.
He didn't show a smile that was not funny, but said with a cold face and an indifferent tone:
"Are you ready to die?"
