Lucy (Yes/No Simulation?) ）

[Simulated Subject: Lucy]

[Simulation starting point: After leaving Night City alone]

[Simulation Tips: Life simulation is based on the relevant people and events known to the subject's life, please be cautious about the simulation results]

In the cabin of the yacht, Tang Yu took off the Mewtwo ring on his head and looked at the silver-haired girl beside him with her eyes closed.

As the life simulation system prompts are confirmed, Lucy falls into a deeper stupor, about to experience a simulation that is more realistic than Mewtwo.

This life simulation will be crucial for the rest of Lucy's life, and it will be clear whether she should stay in Night City in the future or leave now.

Maybe it was because something sad happened to the Sims, Tang Yu found that there were suddenly crystal tears flashing in the corners of the silver-haired girl's eyes.

Just as Lucy was simulating her life, there was a sudden movement outside the yacht, the sound of a floating car and a speedboat.

So, Tang Yu stood up and walked straight towards the outside of the cabin.

Now.

Lucy endured a severe headache and struggled to open her eyes, dispelling the darkness in front of her.

"Where is this?"

In a trance with her eyelids half-open and half-closed, she saw her surroundings clearly.

I don't know when.

Dressed in a close-fitting hacker uniform, she lies in a cold, mechanical, white lab with a few data cables attached to her back.

Suddenly.

She felt a chill in the back of her head, and she quickly reached out to the back of her head, and found a biological neural cable connected to her deep-dive network interface.

What's going on?

Lucy's face couldn't help but sink, she quickly pulled out the plug, quickly rolled over and rolled down from the test bench, and fell to her knees weakly, barely supporting herself with her hands.

Her eyes were trembling, her face was full of fear, and in her eyes, there was a sign that was too familiar to be familiar.

A line extends upwards into three branches, each with three blocks at the top.

“arasaka”

Lucy was in a state of distraught, her fingers gripping the ground in disbelief that she was in Arasaka's laboratory.

What the hell is going on?

She had a splitting headache, and countless memory fragments were torn and reassembled in her mind like knives, gradually piecing together one picture after another.

The pain was so severe that Lucy almost couldn't breathe, and her slender arms could no longer support the weight of her body, so she fell directly to the cold floor, curled up helplessly, covered her head and gritted her teeth to endure.

After going through the painful ordeal, Lucy finally remembered a little.

In order to avoid being captured by Arasaka agents, she chose to leave Night City alone, and after a long period of maneuvering, she finally saved enough money to go to the moon, and then took a rocket to the moon.

But when she put on her spacesuit and stepped off the rocket, she was greeted not by the tranquility and beauty she imagined, but by a group of Arasaka agents.

Afterwards.

Lucy was taken to the lunar experiment base, which she remembered as the Sea of Clouds.

The Unkai Moon Base is an international organization, and Arasaka has obtained permission to build a space laboratory in Unkai through intensive efforts.

But why did Arasaka wait until this moment?

Lucy suddenly remembered what happened to the back of her head, and she struggled to her feet, and lay back on the lab table, looking at the recorders, monitors, and other equipment that were propped up beside her.

The flow of data made her fall into an even greater panic.

Lucy then learned that Arasaka's real purpose was not only her, but more importantly, Tang Yu.

She suppressed the extreme panic and worry in her heart, turned her prosthetic eyes, called up the underlying database of the neural network in her brain, and retrieved the ICE infiltration records.

Lucy was completely stunned, her eyes were blank, and she seemed to have lost her soul.

She confirmed.

Its own ICE has been disintegrated and invaded, and the cache of the underlying database has been exported.

What made her even more desperate was that a large number of the exported data caches were related to Tang Yu.

Lucy panicked, completely panicked.

Because she knew what memories she had in her mind, it was the biggest secret about Tang Yu.

If he is discovered by Arasaka, he will be plunged into an unprecedented disaster.

A native who is able to use abilities beyond Sanweistein without any prosthetic body is bound to become a hot presence for everyone.

Lucy did her best to cheer herself up, and as her memory returned, the pain in her head lessened a lot.

She stepped off the test bench and tried to leave the lab.

She was disturbed that she had not seen a single living person, and that she could not even ask about something.

She was extremely eager to know, what happened to Tang Yu now?

At the beginning, she chose to leave Night City, just because she didn't want to implicate Tang Yu, but she didn't expect that she still couldn't escape this catastrophe.

Lucy realizes that the gate is not open, and immediately walks out of the small laboratory and weaves through the hallway.

Her face was pale and her body was so weak that she could only stumble forward against the white wall.

Luckily, no one in the entire lunar base stood in her way.

Lucy can only wander around the cage-like experimental base in Arasaka, looking for a chance to escape.

But to her despair, this experimental base is located on the surface of the moon, and even if she finds an exit, it is only a dead end to go out without protection.

Finally Lucy ran out of strength, lay down in front of a floodgate, and sat down limply, curled up and clasped on her knees.

Suddenly, a mechanical voice prompted.

"Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Lucy raised her head suddenly, the red print on the corner of her eyes was a little flowery, realizing that this might be the artificial intelligence of the experimental base, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Tang Yu?" ”

The mechanical voice replied coldly, "I'm sorry to inform you that there is no research body codenamed Tang Yu in the laboratory. ”

Hearing this, Lucy's heart calmed a little, so she asked again, "I want to leave here, what should I do?" ”

The mechanical voice continued, "I'm sorry to inform you that your clearance is not allowed to leave here, and if you try to force your way out, I will restrict all your movements, and if necessary, carry out a cleanup procedure. ”

Lucy shuddered after hearing this, she believed that the AI was absolutely capable of doing this.

Artificial intelligence like this is generally in charge of the operation system of the entire experimental base, and cleaning up the creatures in the base is just a matter of small program instructions.

Lucy didn't dare to act rashly, whether it was to hack into the AI system or forcibly flee the place, and acting without knowing the details would lead to a catastrophe.

Her mind gradually calmed down, and the artificial intelligence seemed to be able to speak better, so she asked.

"This is the Arasaka Lunar Experiment Base, so do you know the situation in Arasaka?"

The voice of the artificial intelligence cold machine replied: "The experimental base here is built by Arasaka and is managed by independent subnet artificial intelligence, but the underlying database will be updated with Arasaka for human biological research. ”

A flash of brightness flashed in Lucy's eyes, and she asked again, "Then do you know Tang Yu of the Arasaka Tower in Night City?" He was the Deputy Minister of Counterintelligence and the Special Operations Department. ”

"Wait, we're retrieving mission information for you." Artificial intelligence is very cooperative in answering doubts.

"The following dossier has been found for you."

"Tang Yu, who used to work in the Night City branch of Arasaka Company, with an employee number of NC770416 and an employee level of M9, served as the deputy director of the counterintelligence department and the deputy director of the special operations department."

"A month ago, I was fired for violating Arasaka company regulations, and the employee number and related title benefits were cancelled."

Tang Yu was fired from Arasaka Company?

Lucy couldn't believe her ears, could it all have something to do with the stolen memory data in her head?

But Tang Yu is obviously a senior member of the company, and he has infinite possibilities in Arasaka Tower, coupled with his means and abilities, how could he get to the point of being expelled.

"Then where is Tang Yu now?"

The cold mechanical voice replied again, "Unknown."

Lucy was completely numb.

The head that had just calmed down boiled again, and even the hanging heart was pulled fiercely.

Tang Yu really had an accident, or something was wrong.

It must have been his hidden secret that was discovered, causing Arasaka to target him.

Lucy couldn't believe it, so she could only ask timidly again, "Then how long have I been here?" ”

"Thirty days." The mechanical sound is as usual.

Lucy then understood everything, and the result was exactly what she had guessed.

After all, Tang Yu failed to escape Arasaka's clutches and fell into the trap of hell.

The lunar base is used for human biological research, and this moment could not be more obvious.

This isolated experimental base was simply tailor-made for Tang Yu, and his body was the target of Arasaka's eager research.

Lucy endured the huge hollowness in her heart and begged, "Is it okay for me to meet him?" ”

The AI seemed a little puzzled: "There's only Subject 001 here besides you, and if you want to take a look, I'll turn it on for you." ”

"Subject 001," Lucy muttered.

Suddenly, the gate behind the gate turned green, and the stainless steel gate slowly opened.

Lucy stood up and looked behind her, her eyes a little dazed, and she shuffled in with heavy steps.

After security scans and aerosol disinfection, she finally found herself in front of Subject 001.

The sight in front of her made her completely stunned, and she couldn't make a sound for a long time.

In the brilliance of her neon pupils, a huge glass jar stood firmly in the middle, filled with an unknown blue transparent potion.

A thin male body was floating quietly in the blue liquid, wearing a heavy mask, and his back was full of slender tubes, pumping out different nutrients from his body, and bubbles of breath bubbles came out from time to time.

Presumably to prevent accidents, even if he fell into a deep stupor, his hands and feet were still locked by electromagnetic insulating chains, and he could not move a bit.

Because of the long-term nutrient extraction, the body has begun to dry up, and the originally clear face has become withered and pale.

But Lucy still recognized his identity from those slightly closed eyes.

It was as if her soul had been ripped out, and her whole brain was in a huge hollow, and she had no thoughts.

Tears fell silently, and the world began to become trance again.

It was as if he had lost the last of his strength, and finally fell straight to the ground and fainted.

She was like her soul being swept into a black hole, no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't resist the powerful and painful gravitational pull, and she was swallowed up by the darkness little by little, tearing her soul apart, and the pain was so painful that she was about to lose her sensory perception.

It was like floating on the icy ocean, with the waves undulating, wave after wave.

She could only struggle in the waves with all her might, trying to breathe the only breath of oxygen left in the gap between the waves.

Cold, helpless, painful, and unwilling, she had already lost her instinct to struggle, and gradually sank into the bottomless cold black sea.

The world in front of her was moving away, and the light was getting farther and farther away.

Lucy tried to grasp the only remaining light with her own hands, but only the cold sea water flowed mercilessly through her fingertips, without a trace of memory.

The light in front of her became more and more blurred, and she slowly closed her eyes weakly, helplessly accepting this last arrangement, and transparent tears came out of the corners of her eyes, floating upwards one by one.

Suddenly.

She felt her wrist grab, as if she were being pulled hard, pulling her straight back from the weightless, icy water.

After a dazzling flicker, Lucy reopened her eyes.

The harsh light made her uncomfortable, and she could only blink her eyelids to try to counteract the intense discomfort.

Mewtwo Ring?

Lucy noticed that the dazzling white light was coming from the strobe in front of her, and she raised her hand to remove the Mewtwo ring from her head, and the world in front of her was finally clear.

A fluffy leather sofa, a luxurious and quiet box, and another Mewtwo ring placed next to it, with a checkered plastic bag underfoot.

She felt a little strange for a moment, and her eyes looked at the scene in front of her as if she had been reborn.

Soon.

She remembered that this was Tang Yu's private yacht!

As if her memory had been opened, Lucy immediately remembered everything that had just happened, as if half a century had passed even though it was close at hand.

She clearly remembered that she and Tang Yu were experiencing the moon Mewtwo in the yacht cabin.

Then I experienced a very real past, and when I woke up, I was already in the Arasaka Laboratory of the Moon's Sea of Clouds.

Was it all a dream?

But this dream is too real!

Lucy still clearly remembers the dream that seemed to be a lifetime, in which she and Tang Yu met.

Tang Yu?

Her pupils shrank suddenly, and she found that there was no Tang Yu in the cabin, and her eager gaze scanned back and forth a few times.

Suddenly, he heard the movement outside the ship, and with doubts and worries, he immediately got up and walked towards the outside of the cabin.

When she arrived on the deck of the yacht, Lucy was surprised by the scene in front of her, and she was stunned on the spot.

She was surrounded by the Arasaka company.

I saw a Arasaka armed floating car in the air, emitting a dazzling red laser phalanx to envelop the yacht.

There are also Arasaka speedboat boats around, carrying Arasaka agents to roam the sea.

On the deck of the yacht, a group of special service teams dressed in Arasaka tactical uniforms stood in a neat line with weapons in hand.

In front of the special service team, it was Tang Yu in a suit and leather shoes.

As if sensing the movement behind him, in the flickering of various lights, Tang Yu slowly turned around and faced Lucy, who was full of surprise and panic.

At Tang Yu's behest, an Arasaka agent stepped forward and explained sharply.

"You have violated the legitimate interests of Arasaka Company and have been listed as a key target of supervision for stealing the core secrets of Arasaka Company's top management."

"Cooperating with Arasaka's investigation is a principle that you must abide by now, and if it is violated, Arasaka has the right to carry out special treatment."

Lucy let the agent put electronic shackles on her hands, and her eyes were still fixed on Tang Yu, full of doubts and surprises.
