"It hurts, it hurts."

V closed his eyes tightly and muttered in pain.

She raised her left hand and touched her forehead, and a cold, hard touch came, and the abnormal warmth aroused her alarm.

V struggled to open his bewildered eyes, revealing a mechanical prosthetic palm with a silvery metallic sheen in the light.

She moved her mind and tried to clench her fists.

The metal palm was instantly clenched into an iron fist, and a strong force came, as if it was a natural chimeric arm.

In addition to not feeling heat or cold, this mechanical prosthetic palm is capable of fulfilling any of her thoughts and intentions.

V opened his metal fingers again, his gaze starting from his fingertips and running down the entire prosthetic palm to his forearm.

I don't know when.

Her left forearm has been completely replaced by a mechanical prosthetic arm, and the connection between the mechanical and muscular muscles is tightly sealed, and even the meticulous threads can be seen.

V raised his right arm again and placed his left and right hands in front of his eyes for comparison.

One side is mechanical, and the other side is native.

The silver manipulator is hard and strong, and the bone hand is slender and jade, with bruised patches that have not dissipated.

What's going on?

Her head was dizzy at the moment.

V only remembers stealing the subnet Poseidon data at the Bhatti Hotel, and suddenly encountered the impact of an unknown object falling, and the aftermath caused her to be seriously injured, and she was crushed under the gravel slab and fainted, and she doesn't remember much about what happened after that.

But the brain can also vaguely recall some scenes.

A black mechanical figure, what seems to be a hammer

That's right!

Adam Hammer!

Come to think of this.

V felt a surge of anger on his brow, the dizzy brain load had reached its limit, and the pain after the effect of the anesthetic came back again.

"Hmm"

After a few seconds, when the headache subsided, V looked around and found himself lying on the operating table chair.

This is a prosthetic clinic with a red glow and is equipped with all kinds of medical equipment.

Not far from the counter, an uncle in sunglasses was sitting alone, wearing a light blue overalls and a stethoscope around his neck, staring at the electronic screen on the table.

From what he was wearing, V surmised that the uncle should be the doctor at this prosthetic clinic.

In addition to the doctor at the prosthetic clinic, there was also an ice-blue light rainbow figure that attracted her attention.

It was a silver-haired girl, leaning against the gate of the clinic, a pair of deep neon pupils looking out the door, and her fingers were still stained with dried blood.

V didn't know the other two at all, and he had no memory of it.

She was lying on her side on the operating table chair, her elbows propped up halfway, feeling a little embarrassed.

The wounds on her body had been bandaged, and the prosthetic arm implant surgery had been completed, indicating that she was treated at this prosthetic clinic.

But she didn't know the two of them, and she was still in a coma, and she didn't know what happened the whole time.

Countless doubts, apologies, thanks and other feelings gathered in her mind, and she only felt that the brain CPU was overloaded to the point that it couldn't run.

Lao Wei was still staring at the electronic tablet alone, and Lucy leaned against the door and kept silent, neither of them bothering to pay attention to V.

She had just woken up, not knowing what to do, and was stunned on the operating table chair.

A moment later.

Lao Wei noticed that V woke up, regained consciousness, and reminded while looking at the screen.

"Now is not the time to do anything, you need to rest more."

V endured the pain of the wound and smiled a little reluctantly: "Thank you, I'm much better"

"That's good." Lao Wei replied very dryly.

V couldn't figure out why the prosthetic doctor didn't mention the cost of treatment.

According to common sense, if the patient is successfully treated, the next step is to pay.

Especially in this kind of rescue without prior consultation, it is easier for prosthetic doctors to sit on the ground and make excessive price demands.

But the person in front of him not only didn't mention the money, but also reminded himself to rest more, which is a bit weird.

From the point of view of medical treatment and prosthetic arm implantation, the cost of such superb medical skills and high-quality prosthetics is definitely not low.

V, who has always been used to running on the streets, always feels that something is not right, there may be good people in Night City, but it will not be her who can meet.

But no matter what you say, the other party saved people first, and she definitely recognized this favor, so she opened her mouth first to thank her and show her attitude.

"Thank you."

After thanking him, V asked tentatively, "How do you charge for this?" ”

It's not that she's worried about meeting a black-hearted doctor, after all, the other party has already taken the initiative to treat herself, and if she wants money from the beginning, she doesn't have to be so troublesome.

She was worried that she was too shy to pay for her medical bills, and she made a joke.

Now she is already in debt, and there is really no guarantee that she can pay off her credit

Lao Wei didn't raise his head, and said bluntly: "Don't worry about the cost, someone has already borne it for you." ”

Someone paid in advance?

Is there still this philanthropist in Night City?

But was it encountered by myself?

V immediately sensed that something was wrong, and immediately endured a headache and struggled to recall the previous details.

Copy data, voodoo gang, building collapsed, deraman.

Oh yes!

A black cab, which was supposed to be Delaman

She remembered vague fragments of being picked up from the rubble and put into a black Dlaman.

Who is it?

She vaguely remembered that her head was resting on the other's arms, and that the blood stains on her mouth and nose were on his body, staining his black coat and white shirt.

Come to think of it!

Suit!

At that time, the man in the suit appeared, and it was he who dragged himself out of the rubble and carried him into the Dlaman taxi.

It seems that the silver-haired girl is also beside her to hold the wound to stop the bleeding.

Later, V was completely broken, and when he woke up again, he lay here.

It must be the one in the suit who paid her medical bills, no wonder such a precious prosthetic arm is on the right to say, and every stitch is her life.

Where is there a good person, and in the end it is not herself who goes into debt.

V suddenly felt like crying without tears.

The task is messed up, the forearm is lost, and the debt is still in debt, when will it be paid off?

If she hadn't been able to work without a missing arm, she would have taken it off and returned it to the prosthetist.

V asked in a whisper, "How much is this prosthetic arm worth?" ”

Lao Wei then turned the sliding stool chair, and in a hoarse voice, he explained: "Ling's left arm is a bit serious, and it belongs to emergency traumatic prosthetic implantation, in order to ensure the accuracy of neural sensing, you will be given synaptic extension enhancement. ”

"In addition, your physical fitness is very good, in order to cope with more complex scenes in the future, you are equipped with titanium bionic bones, as well as high-energy micro rotors, so that your left arm can have both strength and lightning-fast hand speed."

"Like if you are engaged in the mercenary industry, you will inevitably have to fight and kill, and finally equip you with a thermal mantis knife and intelligent connection."

"Anyway, the good guys have everything for you."

Lao Wei seems to be very satisfied with his work, and when he talks about this functional composite prosthetic arm, there is a hint of pride in his tone.

He is a person who does what he does and loves what he does, from being a boxer to becoming a prosthetic doctor, he has always practiced the fundamental skills of standing up to the best.

“.” After listening to the introduction, when V looked at his left arm again, the whole person became bad, I am afraid that it is not inlaid with a diamond arm on the body, how much does it cost?

In the second half of his life, he not only has to pay for car loans and housing loans, but now he also has an additional hand loan.

But at this point, V can only accept everything calmly.

She didn't dare to continue to ask about the price of the prosthetic arm, anyway, she couldn't afford it.

"Thanks, I'm satisfied, really." She sighed softly, sat on the edge of the operating chair, and touched her left hand with great cherishment.

She came back to her senses, and then she remembered what she wanted to ask just now, what happened in it, why Tang Yu came to save her after she fainted, and why did Adam Hammer appear in the Barty Hotel.

V remembers Adam's hammer not only because he shattered the building, but also because of his terrifying strength, which is not ordinary in terms of the strength of the Savage King and the Voodoo Gang with one enemy and two enemies.

Adam's hammer is so famous that it's no wonder he's called a living legend.

"My name is V, I grew up in Haywood Road, and I just returned to Night City from Atlanta, so thank you so much for today."

"Seriously, I owe you a big favor, and I'm right to come to me if you have something to do in the future." After speaking, V looked at Lao Wei and Lucy respectively, with a little sincerity in his eyes.

V is such a girl, whoever is good to her, she is better to whom.

Lao Wei's eyes looked at V through his sunglasses, showing a relieved smile: "Don't take it to heart. ”

Lucy glanced at V slightly sideways and said softly, "You're welcome." ”

She knew that V's actions were to steal the data of the subnet, and as a result, she was attacked by Adam's hammer.

Tang Yu's arrangement of the whole thing is closely related to Lucy, and to some extent, V's injury is inseparable from her.

Lucy saw that V had regained consciousness and planned to leave.

promised Tang Yu to guard V before, and she stayed for a whole night without leaving half a step.

She straightened up and was about to step up the stairs when she heard V ask, "I want to know what's going on." ”

Lucy turned around and reminded, "You can ask your middleman, and there will be answers." ”

After speaking.

Lucy stepped up the steps and left the old Wei underground prosthetic clinic.

She didn't choose to tell V the truth directly, because the most fundamental reason for this matter was Tang Yu's most important secret, and no one else could know it except her.

If V wants to know something, he should go to her intermediary for verification, and arrange it by Tang Yu's means, and he will definitely explain it properly.

V felt a little sorry when he saw the silver-haired girl leaving alone.

The silver-haired girl was at the first scene at the time, and she would definitely know a lot of details, but from the other party's attitude, it seemed that she didn't want to reveal too much of the inside story.

V knew that the silver-haired girl had been staying here to guard her, and this kindness was in his heart.

In fact.

V asked Tang Yu to get the answer, but now that she was penniless, she didn't want to see this creditor for a moment.

Anyway, ask the middle Gloria and explain to her in person the details of the failed mission.

V always thinks of the amorous red-haired proprietress who is generous and beautiful, and her figure is also top.

What's more, the commission remuneration she arranged is generous, and you can't get such a cost-effective way to live in other places.

But he didn't fight and messed up the commission, so he was shameless to face Gloria.

But there were some things that could not be avoided, and she wanted to think about bringing a small gift, but the thought of being penniless dispelled again.

"There are a lot of good things in the treasure chest, but you can't give them away," V muttered to himself.

The plan has been decided.

She stepped out of the operating chair, came to Lao Wei's side, thanked her again, and got closer to find that Lao Wei was watching a boxing match.

She said with some excitement: "Do you also like to watch boxing fights?" When I was in Heywood, I loved boxing, and I took down a lot of street gangsters without mercy. ”

Lao Wei smiled: "You can see, you are a talented fighter." But there's a little imp in Heywood who might be able to play you for a few rounds. ”

"Really? Growing up on the streets of Heywood, heywood was a natural fighter. V raised his left arm and looked at it, and sighed a little: "But now I'm also a tech fighter." ”

Lao Wei looked at V and said with relief: "That's not bad, maybe one day you will break into some fame, if you want to add new features, you are welcome to come over at any time." ”

V thanked him, shook his iron fist, and laughed to himself, "Maybe you can end up with the legendary name of the ruthless iron hand." ”

"By the way, I don't know what to call it yet." V felt that the uncle in front of him gave people an innate sense of intimacy, with a gentle voice and unhurried pace, sitting alone at the counter and watching the previous boxing match.

"You're Tang's friend, and they used to call me Lao Wei." Lao Wei calmly introduced his name, he loved to deal with Tang Yu and his gang of young people, and he could always see his former shadow from them.

"Old Wei? Cool name, thanks, old Wei. V remembered the name of the match.

Lao Wei just smiled and nodded, and then said: "Go get busy, little ghost, when you are free, let Don bring that Heywood boy Jack to meet you, the three of you will definitely get along." ”

It's normal to get along with Heywood, but with someone in a suit? To her, it was like tomatoes and apples, and nothing but red.

A company executive, a street cyberpunk, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a person all the way.

There seems to be no other possibility than a debt relationship.

V shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "That's okay, Lao Wei, I'll come to you again when I'm free, I still have to go on an errand this time." ”

Lao Wei waved his hand and motioned for her to take care of herself: "Pay attention to the injury, the work is not finished, take care of your body." ”

V seriously agreed, and then left the prosthetic clinic, saying goodbye to Lao Wei again before leaving.

She came to the road and prepared to go directly to Lizzy's Bar to explain the commission to Gloria.

From here, it's not too far from the Lizzy Bar, and it won't take too long to walk there.

Although she was injured, she had recovered a lot after resting for a while, and it did not prevent her from moving.

V wrapped his coat tightly, covering the medical bandages on his body, and took a step towards Lizi.

Not long after she was gone, a strange figure appeared in place, quietly looking in the direction of V's departure, his eyes glowing with an eerie blue.

Lizzy Bar, a hidden and exclusive box in the VIP area on the second floor.

Tang Yu sat on the soft leather seat, and the round glass table in front of him was placed with some exquisite drinks and refreshments.

The temperature in the box was moderate, so he took off his blazer and hung it neatly on a hanger, wearing a shirt and a T-shirt with a single button, the collar button was unbuttoned, and his posture was relaxed.

He was here for the first time after the renovation of the Lizzy Bar.

I brought Jack here to experience Mewtwo, met Aveline, and met Judy in the basement computer room.

And the hidden box where Tang Yu is now is specially prepared for him by Gloria.

The box area is not large, it can only accommodate four to five people, but in a place like Lizzy Bar, it is indeed not easy to vacate such a private room.

In addition, all kinds of signal shielding, transmission encryption, Mewtwo experience, and high-end service functions are readily available, which shows that Gloria has put a lot of thought into it.

Now.

Gloria basically secured the identity of the barmaid, the Mox gang was reborn in blood, and Lizzie also changed her face, and under the leadership of Gloria, the business went to a higher level.

The girls of Mox occupy several streets and alleys around the Lizzy Bar, and many street girls gather in the neighborhood to make a living.

They may not make much money, but their safety is greatly guaranteed, which has really increased the popularity and support of the Mox Gang.

At that time, Tang Yu supported Gloria with one million euros, in order to let her integrate into Mox as soon as possible, use the money to pave the field, and lay the foundation for the establishment of an intelligence network in the future.

He wasn't here to experience Mewtwo or have fun, but mainly to meet Sasha and talk to Gloria about some business.

Tang Yu took a sip of his teacup and found that he had been sitting alone in the room for a quarter of an hour, and had not seen Sasha or Gloria come in.

The two of them chattered, and they didn't show up since they sent Tang Yu into the box, and they didn't know what they were doing outside.

Tang Yu was not in a hurry, he drank two sips of tea and so on.

At this time.

Outside the box door.

Gloria and Sasha were standing in the doorway, whispering something to each other.

"No, no, Mr. Tang will definitely not agree"

"Mr. Tang doesn't agree to turn on the intimacy mode, Sasha can't force it like this."

"Mr. Tang will be upset."

Sasha wrapped her coat tightly, not letting Gloria take it off, and a snow-white red glow appeared on her neckline during the pull.

Gloria had no choice but to let go of her hand, and when she saw Sasha's appearance of preferring to die, she sighed helplessly.

"Sasha, how can you do this, everything is waiting for Mr. Tang's order, and the year of the monkey can succeed."

Sasha was tightly wrapped, but her beautiful posture was still highlighted under the long coat.

She looked a little aggrieved, her cheeks were slightly hot, she bit her lip stubbornly, and shook her head desperately, unable to take this critical step.

Sasha didn't wronged Gloria for being forced, but blamed himself for not being angry.

Obviously, I have done a long time of psychological construction before, and I want to get through this hurdle, but I can't do it when it comes to the end.

As Gloria said, it won't take until the Year of the Monkey to become a big thing.

That's the truth, but the problem is that she really can't do it.

Gloria looked at Sasha seriously, trying to figure out where the problem was, obviously she taught everything she could teach in the bed, and Sasha was also shocked at that time, why did she retreat at the critical moment.

If she couldn't find the problem, she couldn't force Sasha to come, and if she really got into trouble, she would fall behind.

"Okay, since Sasha is worried, it's better to be calm, just go in and be the same as usual, don't force yourself."

Sasha nodded, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and came to the curfew to verify her identity and ask to enter the house.

Soon.

The gate automatically slides open, and there is a shielded image at the door, so you can't see the inside of the box from the outside.

Sasha walked in, and as soon as he entered the house and stood at the door, the moment he saw Tang Yu's familiar face, it seemed to return to the days when the two of them were in the apartment.

I don't know if it's because I haven't seen Tang Yu for too long, or because I thought too much about it before, and suddenly I wanted to cry even more.

"Hello Mr. Tang."

Tang Yu saw Sasha standing at the door, with her eyebrows lowered and seemed to be a little depressed, so he stood up and walked up to her, touched her cat's head, and asked softly.

"What's wrong?"

Sasha stayed here with Gloria, and he would definitely not be bullied, probably the first time he had been away from him for so long, and he didn't feel very comfortable.

After all, from the moment Sasha opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was the 'master' Tang Yu.

This is not only a procedural setting, but also Sasha's experience and cognition all along.

Sasha shook his head slightly, choked up and said, "Sasha is fine"

It seemed that feeling the temperature of Tang Yu's palm, she felt less aggrieved.

Tang Yu nodded slightly, only then did he realize that Sasha was wearing a long windbreaker jacket, and the temperature in the box was quite high, so there was no need to wear it so tightly.

So he kindly reminded: "If you feel hot, just hang your coat over there." ”

"Huh?!" Sasha looked at Tang Yu in surprise, and quickly explained: "It's not hot, it's not hot, Sasha is not hot."

As she spoke, her hands tightened the straps of her clothes a few more times, and the inside of her coat was too shy for her.

The most important thing is that Tang Yu did not turn on the intimacy mode, and her subconscious did not allow her to have such behavior, which made Sasha fall into a deep entanglement.

Tang Yuhu looked at Sasha suspiciously, her nervous face was very strange.

It's not that I suspect Sasha of lying, but I just think that she is in a very abnormal state today, how did her previous cute and cute appearance suddenly become so sensitive.

Sasha has undergone a highly cyber transformation, and is not afraid of this cold and heat at all, and the temperature of the box is just right.

Tang Yu estimated that although Sasha was not bullied, he must have been educated by Gloria.

Thinking of Gloria's maturity, he could see through Sasha's intentions almost at a glance.

He felt a little helpless, and only a few days after sending Sasha to Gloria, he was already crooked.

It just so happens that I'm free today, and it's time to educate her.

Sasha raised his head and asked obediently, "Mr. Tang, when will Sasha be able to go back to the apartment?" ”

Tang Yu thought for a moment, and then said frankly: "Wait a while, Sasha is good."

Gloria had only been in charge of the Lizzy Bar for a short time, and in order to avoid accidents, someone needed to be on guard.

At present, apart from Sasha, Tang Yu can't find a more suitable person.

They can be inseparable, as long as Sasha is there, he can keep track of the situation here.

Sasha nodded seriously, and the light in her eyes returned, as long as it was Tang Yu's explanation, she would go and finish it seriously.

Tang Yu finally touched Sasha's cat head and asked her to beckon Gloria to come in and discuss something with her.

Sasha obediently turned around and went out, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he exited the room, and the previous tension and frustration were gone.

"Sure enough, this is Sasha."

Gloria was wearing a red dress and waiting at the door, and when she saw Sasha coming out so quickly, still wearing the long coat and trench coat, she knew that something must not have happened.

Something was in a hurry, so she came to Sasha and asked, "Are you feeling better?" ”

Sasha smiled and replied, "Well, it's much better to see Mr. Tang." ”

"That's good." Gloria has more of a heart of compassion for the simple girl in front of her, and it is really difficult to find a second girl like her in Night City.

Sasha truthfully informed Gloria of Tang Yu's explanation, and asked her to enter the box earlier, saying that Tang Yu had something serious to talk to her.

Serious business?

Hearing these two words, Gloria's face turned red, and then she stood at the door of the box with a little nervousness, and after being authenticated, she asked to enter.

It didn't take long.

The gate slid open, and Gloria walked into the box, closing with it.

Sasha continued to wait at the door, she was responsible for the safety of Tang Yu and Gloria, so naturally she had to do her duty at all times.

But the clothes inside made it difficult for her to perform her kung fu.

She had to fasten her belt tightly to avoid mistakes.

Time passed by a minute.

Sasha waited a little bored outside the house, and before she knew it, she was a little curious about what was going on in the box.

Why did he come out of the box less than five minutes after he entered the box, and Gloria could stay so long when she entered the house to talk about business.

But after thinking about it, when she and Tang Yu lived in an apartment, they also stayed together for a long time, but they didn't talk much about business.

Unconsciously.

Sasha thought back to the days when she was by Tang Yu's side and listened to him sing and tell stories.

The waiting time is always so long, even the sky is getting dark.

V: "When it comes to boasting about people's abilities, you're really good. But aren't you into music, when did you start studying words? ”

Johnny: "No kidding, it's not like I hope that instant noodles can draw two sticks for me, I know that there is a gold lord who has rewarded me, thank you to the 'Third Emperor Kiliman' gold lord boss for joining the alliance!" ”

Johnny: "So you can smoke two instant noodles?" ”
