"It's been raining in a long time."

In the evening, it was rainy.

Tang Yu looked at the rain curtain outside the subway car, the black hair on his forehead was still sticking to the fine droplets, and his shoulders were soaked by the rain.

In the distance, the sky and the sea ash became a large expanse, and even the sea breeze was gloomy.

The flickering neon lights of Night City are diluted by layers of rain curtains, and the holographic projection is becoming more and more illusory, and the entire coastal city has entered the world of rain.

The reason why he got off work at this point was because Tang Yu returned to the Arasaka Tower in the afternoon, went to the Special Operations Department, assigned the task reimbursement, and left after throwing it to the front desk for processing.

The Special Operations Department has been quite idle recently, Susan Abernathy is suspended on pay, and can only control the operation of the Special Operations Department remotely for the time being, and there has been no major action recently, so they rarely relax for a while.

Tang Yu was too lazy to care about them, whether he touched the fish or not had nothing to do with him, even if he stabbed the basket, he couldn't rely on him.

Tang Yu is still very self-aware of the weight of this deputy director of the Special Operations Department, he doesn't think that in Susan Abernathy's lair, he can really pry a stick and pull a group of people to work against her.

So.

He can be reimbursed by the Special Operations Department, and the two missions cost a total of 350,000 euros, which is really not much for a large department like the Special Operations Department.

The first 50,000 euros was for investigating Tanaka's stolen car, the wreckage of which was in the small square, and he had asked Gloria to connect with Mann and find someone from the Counterintelligence Department to tow the car back.

As for the results of the investigation, according to the actual situation, the military technology has set its sights on the director of the R&D department, Tanaka, and arranged for an intermediary to steal his vehicle navigation data in order to obtain more information about Tanaka.

This task is closed here, and the only thing left is Tanaka to seek more blessings for himself, and the military technology is targeting him Tanaka, who also has nothing to do with Tang Yu.

The second reimbursement fee is an errand assigned by Michiko Komi, about exposing the transaction task of military technology and NCPD, and reimbursing 300,000 euros before and after.

Because it is a private job, it has mixed reviews on the board of directors, no merit and no fault, and there is no bonus or reuse on the surface.

Komichiko arranged a special assistant for him, I'm afraid there is also this reason, so I can only comfort him in private.

Tang Yu had to be blamed by the board of directors for doing his work, but fortunately, Michiko Komi did not agree to deal with him, otherwise he might have to become a single deputy minister again after he had just been a double deputy minister for a short time.

had to obey Xiaomei Chiko's means of winning people's hearts, not only did not fight for Tang Yu's merit and other members of the board of directors, but also made Tang Yu understand who was the enemy and who was the ally in the top of the board.

In addition, a beautiful cat lady like Sasha is arranged to accompany her as a special assistant, but if the other party is tender, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it, and I'm grateful to Michiko.

Tang Yu didn't care too much, the actual expenses may be around 250,000, and being able to get 350,000 can be regarded as a certain compensation.

In addition, he has already inquired about personnel and finance, and as a dual minister of different departments, he can only receive one salary and performance, and the bonus is paid according to the actual situation of the task.

The salary performance of the deputy director of the Special Operations Department is higher than that of the Counterintelligence Department, and Tang Yu is naturally selected high.

Therefore, a strange phenomenon has been formed, Tang Yu has been working in the counterintelligence department, but the salary performance is in charge of the special operations department.

can only receive a salary, which makes Tang Yu have a toothache.

Typical unequal pay for equal work, but this is Night City, a world ruled by capital, no matter how much he is dissatisfied, he can only follow the rules.

Why do you have two jobs when you get one salary?

Tang Yu can also touch the fish with peace of mind.

I haven't seen Arthur Jenkins, the fifth king of diamonds, these days, Tang Yu misses him a little, and the stall of the Counterintelligence Department is still worried.

Fortunately, he is only responsible for some daily affairs, and as for troubles, he can deal with them in one sentence.

"I'll pass that on Mr. Jenkins."

The train moved slowly and soon arrived at the station.

Tang Yu walked out of the public transportation station and looked up to see that the sky was still gray, the dripping rain was falling, splashing on the road, and passers-by stepped on the water splashes.

Little Chinatown is still as lively as ever, with large and small shops and neon signs hanging all over the streets.

Pedestrians come and go, holding fluorescent umbrellas, and the neon world of light and rain is colorful and colorful.

At first glance, there is a special sci-fi beauty.

On the sidewalk, those who did not have umbrellas had to cover their heads and run wildly, not caring about the splash affecting the pedestrians around them.

On the main road, there was a lot of traffic, lights and shadows, and the convoys slowly staggered in parallel, and from time to time there were horns and flashes.

Only the floating traffic above the head is not affected by the traffic jam and shuttles quickly between the high-rise buildings.

Tang Yu saw that the rain was obviously much heavier than just now, and when he first entered the public transportation station, it was only drizzling, and he didn't care too much about the umbrella.

He reached into the rain and tried to feel the rain.

The rain was indeed quite heavy, and if I didn't walk back with an umbrella, I was afraid that my whole body would be wet.

Tang Yu inadvertently heard someone shouting.

"It's raining, buy a transparent fluorescent umbrella, it's safe and convenient!"

He looked sideways to the right, and there happened to be a stall selling fluorescent umbrellas, where the owner was standing and shouting.

He got up and walked to the umbrella stall, intending to buy a fluorescent umbrella and walk back.

Just as he was about to pick up an umbrella, he noticed that an umbrella had been handed over to him.

Tang Yu looked sideways slightly, and found that Sasha was already standing by the umbrella stall at some point, and handed him the handle of the umbrella in her hand.

I didn't expect Sasha to be here, it looks like I saw the rain outside, and I came to pick him up at the public transportation station.

Sasha seemed very happy when he saw Tang Yu, as if waiting for someone who wanted to wait, and said with a smile: "Mr. Tang, this is the umbrella Sasha prepared for you." ”

Tang Yu felt a little surprised, took her umbrella, and touched Sasha's cat head.

"Let's go."

Sasha's neon eyes flashed a glimmer of light, and then she followed Tang Yu's pace.

The two walked to the entrance of the station, each opened his umbrella, and walked into the rain.

The rain falls sparsely and then flows into the ditches and into the underground waterways.

Tang Yu didn't say much, and Sasha just followed closely behind Tang Yu, keeping silent as always, just maintaining his habitual polite smile.

The two shuttled through the streets, walking street after street, passing through corner after corner.

Sasha's brilliant blue eyes gradually appeared suspicious, she looked back, and found that it was getting farther and farther away from home, and Tang Yu's high-end apartment had already passed.

She felt a little strange, seeing Tang Yu continue to walk forward, she didn't mean to stop at all, she probably didn't plan to go home.

Sasha was a little curious and confused, seeing that the raindrops wet his black suit, and even the black hair on his forehead was soaked by the rain.

At this time, you should not rush home to change your clothes, soak comfortably in the warm water of 40 degrees Celsius, and relax quietly.

After all, Mr. Tang is the original body, and he is prone to getting wet and catching colds.

Sasha struggled to figure out why Mr. Tang was drenched in the rain but didn't come home.

She couldn't help but think of the situation at home and the things she had prepared.

Mr. Tang's change of clothes today has been dried and folded and placed on the bathroom shelf.

Dinner is also ready and kept in an incubator to prevent it from getting cold.

The most important thing is that the bathtub is full of hot water, and if you walk back now, it is just the right time to soak in the bath.

Moreover, Mr. Tang also praised her technique this morning for being quite good, and when she took a warm bath, wouldn't it be more relaxing to press her temples.

Sasha thought about it for a long time, wanting to remind Tang Yu that everything was ready at home, but when he saw that he seemed to have something important to do, he had no choice but to press the doubts in his heart and continue to follow.

Now she was more curious about where Tang Yu was going and what to do than going home.

The two of them walked along the street, passing a variety of shops.

Sasha is like a kitten exploring the human world for the first time, so new and curious about everything, every time she sees something new, she will stop for a moment, as if she is comparing what she has learned.

Her neon pupils are tactful, reflecting everything she sees, even the advertisements are so close.

"Is this talking big-faced burger really edible?"

"What a beautiful fluorescent dress in the rain of diamonds!"

"Big enough without worry, make your curves more beautiful."

"Huh.?"

Sasha looked at the female model in the advertisement, and then looked down at herself, probably without worrying.

She was comparing them carefully, and found that Tang Yu had already gone away again, so she hurriedly chased after her with an umbrella.

The two of them walked one after the other, walking on the bustling and lively rainy night streets of Night City.

Every time Sasha fell behind a little, he would trot a few steps to keep up with Tang Yu's pace, but then he was attracted by the novelties around him, and he was fascinated by it, forgetting to hurry.

After all, Tang Yu didn't talk to her, nor did he give any orders.

This is the first time she has gone out shopping, and she will inevitably be extremely curious.

Tang Yu, who was walking in front, also knew that Sasha was trying to adapt to the new world and absorb the information passed to her by everything around her.

Sasha's 'factory' knowledge base, although huge and rich in content, is stiff and mechanical after all, and it is better to experience it in the real world.

It's like she knows what rain looks like, what it does physically, and how it rains and how she needs an umbrella.

But she may not understand that some people have umbrellas that do not hit, do not hide from the eaves, are hoarse in the rain, and carry knives without umbrellas on rainy nights.

These human emotions are the result of these behaviors, and Sasha needs to slowly understand and feel.

Tang Yu noticed that Sasha was slowing down, so he would also slow down and wait for her to catch up.

Sasha looked at all kinds of goods and advertisements in the back, and sometimes even passers-by would stare at them, which was somewhat rude, but it was difficult for pedestrians to notice in a hurry, so no one would say anything.

Suddenly.

Sasha felt a little unusual, she hurriedly took out the pill bag she was carrying, poured out a small white pill in her palm, and swallowed it.

After a few breaths, it returned to normal.

This move was noticed by Tang Yu, but he didn't say anything, just continued to walk forward.

The two turned a corner, and then walked into a fairly spacious street where there were several custom shops.

In the large glass windows of the custom shop, the charming neon lights shine on the enchanting dance.

"Beauty, do you want to come in and have a fun, I'm sure your curiosity will be satisfied."

The street dancer moved closer to the glass window and whispered.

Sasha's gaze tightened, and he also showed more doubt, as if he didn't know why the other party was writhing around in the glass window, and what the meaning of those words was, it seemed like he had turned on intimate mode.

"Sasha wants to know what to play?"

The dancer was amused by Sasha's cuteness, but she didn't mean to despise her at all, the high-level combat implant was beautiful and extremely beautiful, like the limbs of the original human body, and they were all worlds different from these street dancers, and the origin was not simple.

The street dancer looked at Sasha and teased: "Naturally, it is the most classic G593 model * even chip, and customers have given it the nickname 'sour', of course, we still need to add some materials, how about little sister, do you want to experience it?" ”

Sour?

Sasha figured it out to himself, turned his prosthetic eyes, quickly found this behavior chip, and carefully read the introduction.

It is one of the first batch of old antiques developed to stop updating and iterating, and it used to be a best-selling item in Night City, and now it is almost so cheap that it can be seen at street vendors, and you don't even have to pay for it, as long as you are willing to go to the back of the black alley with the stall and complete a * payment, you can get it.

This classic behavior chip, which was once popular on the streets and alleys, has been completely eliminated by the times, but it still exerts its residual heat to help the dancers on the streets to mix a bite to eat.

Sasha pondered for a while, noticed that Tang Yu had already walked into a hut, hurriedly thanked the other party, and hurriedly chased after him.

She followed Tang Yu's figure and walked to a divination psychic house.

Sasha stood in front of the store, looked up curiously, looked at the name of the store, and muttered.

"Misty's Secrets."

"What are you doing here?"

Sasha also put away the umbrella and put it outside the door, then pushed open the glass door of the hut and walked in, and as soon as he entered, he felt that the whole house was full of mystery.

The furnishings in the house are unique, such as four-armed gods, incantation skeletons, divination tarots, etc., which are not noticeable.

Sasha obediently followed behind Tang Yu, and then secretly glanced at Misty at the counter.

Hey?

turned out to be the same as Mr. Tang, so he should be a good friend of Mr. Tang.

It's just that her eyes seem to have the power to see through people's hearts, which makes Sasha feel a palpitation.

After Misty greeted Tang Yu, he told him that Lao Wei was in the basement clinic, and then noticed Sasha behind him, and his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

Tang Yu saw that Misty seemed to have made a discovery, which was also one of the purposes of bringing Sasha here.

Misty has the purest spiritual intuition of human beings and may be able to spot some clues from Sasha.

There was a moment of silence.

Misty's gentle gaze took off Sasha's body, and then he gently picked up the tarot card on the table, and whispered after the washing was finished.

"Would you like to try to draw one?"

Sasha was stunned, Misty was obviously asking herself, she was a little hesitant, and hurriedly asked Tang Yu for help with her eyes.

Tang Yu nodded slightly, and also encouraged her and said, "Draw one, I have also used divination in Misti." ”

After listening to Tang Yu's words, Sasha was relieved, his eyes no longer hesitated, and he took the initiative to walk to the counter and stared curiously at the tarot cards on the table.

This was Sasha's first tarot draw, and she picked up the first tarot card on the deck with almost no hesitation.

Uncover the tarot cards and place them on the table.

Hanging man upside down?

A man was hanging upside down from a tree with his hands and feet tied, and a burning light shone around his head.

When Sasha saw this tarot card, his prosthetic eyes turned, and he began to search for information about the hanged man.

Misty took the initiative to hold Sasha's slender palm, met his gaze, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, observe in bondage, dedicate in sacrifice, and survive in difficult situations." ”

Sasha looked at Misty as well, and when she looked at each other, she felt a little nervous, not quite understanding Misty's words.

Tang Yu was thoughtful on the side, and Misty's words seemed to have another meaning, not to Sasha in front of him.

Perhaps as I guessed, the story behind Sasha is by no means as simple as Michiko said.

After Misty finished speaking, he let go of Sasha's hands and said with a smile, "You are very cute. ”

After hearing Misty's praise, Sasha smiled and thanked him, acting very politely.

Tang Yu took the initiative to introduce on the side.

"Misty, this is Sasha, the company assistant."

"Sasha, this is Misty, the fiancée of my good brother Jack."

Sasha and Misty both looked at Tang Yu at the same time, with strange expressions, as if they were not very satisfied with his introduction.

Tang Yu was stunned for a while, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his statement, so he made an excuse and said, "Misty, I'm going to find Lao Wei." ”

He left the counter and headed for the back door.

Sasha nodded slightly at Misty, and hurriedly followed Tang Yu's pace and walked towards the basement clinic together.

Tang Yu came to Lao Wei's prosthetic clinic, opened the iron fence door directly, and saw Lao Wei watching the boxing match as always.

"Lao Wei, how are you doing? Is business okay? ”

Lao Wei turned his head sideways, found that it was Tang Yu who came, and said with a smile.

"It's raining, what kind of wind is blowing you here today?"

Lao Wei sat on the sliding stool, turned to Tang Yu, and also saw Sasha behind him.

"Business is just like that, tepid, but you, are you still stable over there in Arasaka?"

Tang Yu said with a smile: "It's average, one salary can do the work of two people, but there is no way, those who can work hard." ”

Lao Wei realized that there was something in his words, and said with a magnetic voice: "Then it seems that you are a good mix, you are both dual-duty, and it is normal to be under pressure." ”

"I heard Jack say you have headaches and vomiting before, are you feeling better now?"

Tang Yu nodded, he was nervous and tired when he was out in the field, and he was assassinated and attacked when he just returned to Night City, so he was a little unwell.

"Well, it's much better, I'm here to ask you for a favor today, it's an important matter."

Lao Wei glanced behind Tang Yu, Sasha was looking at the two of them curiously, as if he realized something, so he readily agreed.

"No problem, come with me."

Instant noodles: "Thank you for the huge reward from the night Iyin boss, thank you here, Johnny hasn't come to send it yet." ”

Johnny: "Yene, before you go, can we talk?" Just you and me. ”

V: "Shut your mouth. ”

Johnny: "I'm not trying to sell a * share and give instant noodles some sponsorship!" Look at you're in a hurry. ”
