In the north-central part of Watson District, there are patches of old apartment buildings, some of which have been abandoned and overgrown with weeds, and some of which have been used by gangs as temporary dens.

With the decline of the industrial area in the north, this integrated commercial and residential area has gradually declined, and most of the people wandering the streets and alleys are homeless and homeless.

They gathered here, lying in the corridors and alleys at will, barely having a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

A black Delamain sedan pulled to a halt, landing under an old apartment building.

The neighborhood is sparsely populated, there are very few taxi stops in Delamein, and few people come here for tourism and errands.

Therefore, the appearance of Delamain's special car attracted the attention of several thin homeless people on the side of the road, but the shriveled appearance and old prosthetic body made them look weak.

The door of the Delaman taxi opened automatically, and Tang Yu stepped out, fastened a single button with his hand, and walked straight towards the old apartment without any stop.

This apartment is in slightly better condition, the basic water and electricity are connected, and the public elevator can be used normally.

Tang Yu passed by the dark cyan apartment passage, walked into the public elevator room, and chose the fifteenth floor.

The elevator began to rise slowly, the transmission of the rollers and lifting belts creaked, and there was some shaking during the ascent.

Soon.

The elevator reached the fifteenth floor.

Tang Yu continued to walk directly into the corridor, and when he came to an electronic gate inside, the arc of his fingertips moved slightly, and he easily broke the access control.

He looked very purposeful and walked through the gate towards the house.

The interior of the house was extremely cluttered, with operating tables, shadowless lights, freezers, and all kinds of medical equipment scattered on the floor, and even chainsaws, axes, and tendons.

On the dirty walls, layers of plastic film were still hung, and bright red blood was splashed on them, and the whole floor of the house was filled with a damp smell.

Tang Yu raised his feet and stepped over a corpse, the corpse was wearing a green coat, a mask and rubber gloves, like a butcher who slaughtered pigs and sheep.

There were several corpses like this in the house.

A little observation reveals that they had either had their necks twisted from behind, had been cut inhumanly by sharp blades, or had been shot indiscriminately.

The way each corpse died is distinctive, and the common denominator is one word.

'Miserable'.

Then he passed by an operating table on which a corpse was presented, with all limbs severed and hung on the wall.

The whole floor of the house is twisted around several large rooms, all of which are such purgatory scenes.

Apparently.

Not long ago there was a massacre, an atrocity against the butchers on the ground.

Tang Yu walked into the innermost room without changing his face, and found the target person according to the message address.

V。

He has been keeping a close eye on V's movements, and thanks to the electronic debt relationship contract, whether V is fleeing, injured, fainting, etc., the contract will notify him as soon as possible to ensure that the debtor fulfills the content of the contract.

All in all.

Before he finished paying off his debts, V couldn't escape Tang Yu's control.

When he was communicating with Jenkins at Arasaka Tower, he received a message prompt, so he rushed over as soon as possible.

I saw that at the door leading to the balcony not far away, V was lying motionless on the ground, as if he had fainted.

Tang Yu walked over quickly, squatted down, picked up V horizontally, and briefly scanned her biological signs.

In addition to being in a state of syncope, there are no other life-threatening conditions, except for some convulsions in the body.

When Tang Yu saw her like this, it was estimated that she had been hit by an electronic virus and suffered an electron gun, and under the double trauma of her body, she was suddenly put down.

He activated the 'weak electric control energy', and the weak arc slowly transmitted along the biological nerve socket in V's neck.

Tang Yu carefully controlled it, so as not to move too much and hurt the important parts of the V.

If you agree to walk through every part of V's body, Tang Yu quickly completed a preliminary prosthetic hardware examination of V.

A slight electromagnetic short circuit fault can be solved by sending it to Lao Vina for debugging, and by the way, a full electronic virus detection and killing.

Tang Yu picked up V horizontally, then left the apartment, returned to the Delmain taxi, and went straight to Lao Wei's underground prosthetic clinic.

Delaman detected Passenger V's symptoms and enthusiastically recommended his new medical package.

Laode will never forget its roots at any time, and the projects launched in cooperation with major companies and institutions are becoming more and more extensive.

The newly launched medical package is in cooperation with the trauma team, including rescue, first aid, emergency and other medical services.

It didn't take long.

Deraman's taxi stopped in front of the divination house, Tang Yu got out of the car with V, and V in his arms fainted, as if he was asleep unconscious, unaware of everything that was happening in the outside world.

Tang Yu walked into the prosthetic clinic with V, and found that Lao Wei did not sit at the counter to watch the boxing match, but stood by the sink table to wash his hands, as if he had just completed an operation.

"Lao Wei, I'm causing you trouble again."

Lao Wei heard the shouting, and replied while washing his hands, and his thick smoke voice was full of vicissitudes as always.

"Well, what's the trouble this time, the operating chair has just been sterilized."

Tang Yu placed V on the operating chair and explained: "It should be that when I was on a mission, I accidentally got hit by an electronic virus on the scavenger's territory, and then I was hit by a stun gun. ”

Lao Wei washed his hands, drained the water stains, put on the auxiliary finger sleeve again, and walked to the operating table.

"Well, let's see what this talented fighter got knocked out for."

Tang Yu stood beside the operating chair and watched Lao Wei's operation.

For Lao Wei's craftsmanship, he expressed absolute confidence.

And V didn't have any injuries this time, but what Tang Yu cared about was whether there was any private work in the electronic virus.

After being connected to the biological neural slot, all the biological signs of V and the prosthetic implantation information are read.

After completing the comprehensive inspection, Lao Wei casually solved several electromagnetic short circuit problems, and said after glancing at Tang Yu.

"I've solved the small problem, she will wake up soon, and it's best to have a comprehensive virus check and kill to ensure that it is clean."

Tang Yu nodded, and then added: "By the way, check her underlying database, you may find some clues." ”

Lao Wei then began to operate the screen, clicked to enter the underlying database of V, and data symbols appeared on the electronic screen.

"Her ICE protection has been compromised, probably caused by some kind of torrent of data, which is a very dangerous state."

"It seems that there is also a need to upgrade her ICE defense, and the software program will also need to be updated to accommodate more complex prosthetic functions."

Tang Yu nodded slightly and agreed with Lao Wei's approach.

The last time V infiltrated the Voodoo Gang in Taiping Prefecture and stole the subnet Poseidon data, the memory chip was burned out by the anti-theft function, so he could only use his own biological neural data cable to connect, not only to withstand the anti-theft attack, but also to face the torrent bombardment of subnet Poseidon data.

Ordinary people who make such a risky move are very likely to scorch their brains in the flood of data, and if they are lucky, they will lose their nerve consciousness and become crazy or vegetative.

However, V Zi survived, but ICE and some procedures were destroyed and traumatized, and did not endanger the brain, which shows the strength of his body's carrying capacity.

It can be said that V is a natural prosthetic material, whether it is a martial arts fight or a hacker, it can carry more implants than ordinary people, which is equivalent to God's reward.

Lao Wei is quickly sifting through the strings in the underlying database of V, trying to find some clues.

Generally speaking, if you want to access someone's underlying database, you need the permission of the other party, or use technical means to break through.

However, V's ICE is damaged, and there are many security vulnerabilities, and there is almost no possibility of preventing it in front of experienced hackers and prosthetic doctors.

Suddenly.

A string anomaly caught the attention of Lao Wei and Tang Yu, who stopped screening and focused on studying this abnormal string.

After Lao Wei parsed the string, he said bluntly: "It's very strange, the string anomaly occurs in the memory storage function area, which does not affect the operation of any program, and her brain is still good for now." ”

Tang Yu seemed to think of something, and then said: "It's like a thief entering the house to steal something, and after reading it, the fingerprints left by the original owner will be returned." ”

Lao Wei nodded: "This analogy is very appropriate, it seems that there are already thieves in mind, this kid has good physical fitness, wait for the ICE solid defense upgrade to be done, and then give her some good goods, and wipe her eyes in the future, you can always tell who is the bad guy." ”

Tang Yu looked at V lying on the operating chair and fell into deep thought.

Now it's certain that someone has their eye on the V.

Judging from the information currently available, there is a high probability that she has taken a fancy to the subnet Poseidon data in her memory storage.

But those data are not perfect, and the other party has not copied Poseidon data.

It was as if a group of thieves had attacked the castle, and a thief had crept into the inner room, spun around it, and crept back.

Tang Yu had roughly guessed the specific content of this task.

Watson, the scavengers, the hostage rescuers, and then the scene of being electrocuted and fainting was all too familiar to him.

It's just that it was him, along with V and Jack, and the three of them slaughtered the scavenger stronghold and saved the target Sandra Dorset.

Finally, when V examines Sandra, who is redstriped, he accidentally hits an electronic virus and is shot by the trauma team that arrives.

Come to think of this.

Tang Yu realized that something was not right.

If the three of them received a rescue commission and got the virus in the scavenger stronghold, it was just an ordinary job.

But now, this paradoxical scene reappears, and it still falls on V.

This made Tang Yu raise some bad conjectures, is there a possibility that the mission of rescuing Sandra Dosset is not a simple rescue commission, and there is a deeper purpose behind it.

In other words.

There are some hidden promoters behind it, deliberately involving V in a situation.

The butterfly effect has already happened.

Many people and things around Tang Yu are undergoing major changes, and everything is different from what he has experienced.

Why are some things still happening, as if someone is manipulating them in the dark?

Sandra Dosset's details are not difficult to check, Tang Yu already knew her identity, an employee of the Night Company, because he discovered some secrets of the Night Company, he was kidnapped and kidnapped by the scavengers.

The problem is back to where it was at the beginning.

Why did the scavenger, who had always been cruel, tolerate Sandra Dorset spending so many days unharmed, and lying intact in the water tank, as clean as a cool shower at home, except for the electronic virus in the brain.

Tang Yu couldn't know more about the scavengers, even if Sandra Dorset was from a noble background, it didn't affect the speed of their ruthless attack at all.

Everything points in one direction.

Night's Company.

However, these are just Tang Yu's speculations for the time being, and he does not intend to reveal them to anyone until they are confirmed.

Because no one but him could detect the anomaly of this commission.

A cyberpunk who runs to the scavenger territory to save people and then accidentally falls victim to an electronic virus sounds perfectly normal.

Tang Yu put away his thoughts, waited for Lao Wei to finish the virus detection and killing, ICE solid defense upgrade, and control the software program update, and then implanted a new prosthetic body into V.

Giroji optical eye.

After everything was done, Lao Wei unlocked the port control, allowing V to wake up on his own.

V hazy opened a slit in his eyes.

The shadowless lamp, the red consultation room, and the somewhat shabby blue leather operating chair made her wonder if she was very puzzled.

She looked at it in a daze, and felt that her vision was still very blurry, as if the camera was focusing, constantly zooming in and out.

But I can roughly distinguish the two people in front of me, namely Lao Wei of the prosthetic clinic and Tang Yu in a suit.

Lao Wei asked in a deep voice, "How do you feel, little ghost." ”

V heard the familiar voice, struggled to control his eyeballs, and finally adjusted the focus, and the whole world became clear in an instant.

"Well, it seems to be a little different, it feels like seeing more clearly, wiping away the mist in front of you."

She suddenly thought of the situation last time, and when she woke up, she was equipped with a high-end prosthetic arm.

V blinked his eyes and felt a foreign body sensation, which was obviously surgery.

Lao Wei smiled and quipped: "It seems that you found out and implanted you with a discrete optical prosthetic eye, which is the best thing I have left." ”

"Divergent Division? This is a serious high-end product! V was taken aback, a little incredulous.

I've only been here twice in Lao Wei, and I've got so much good equipment.

"Probably, but I want more, and I don't have anything here." Lao Wei stretched out his hand and said in a light tone: "At first, you may be a little uncomfortable, such as blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and even can't see colors clearly. ”

At that time, he prepared this Divergent Division Optical Eye, which he planned to leave for Tang Yu who returned to Night City.

But after learning from Jack that Tang Yu chose not to do basic prosthetic transformation, he made a pair of smart glasses.

Therefore, this expensive optical eye of the divergent division has been left in Lao Wei's prosthetic clinic.

This time, I happened to run into V, so I took it out and put it on her.

V nodded, and his vision gradually returned to clarity and saturation, with almost no anomalies.

Lao Wei continued: "Try the scanner, I opened a character database for you, I got it from the NCPD, you need these more than Tang. ”

V immediately starts the scan, identifies the old dimension in front of you, and the information is readily available in front of you.

Subsequently.

She looked at Tang Yu again and found that she couldn't scan any information, and her identity in the suit was really different.

Tang Yu said: "It's a bit rude to open a scan in front of others. ”

V turned off the scan, pretending to be nothing, covering up his weakness and trying to get through: "I know, I haven't gotten used to it for the first time, so I have to take some time to adjust, and I'll pay attention to it later." ”

"This time I owe you a big favor, just look for me if you have something in the future."

Tang Yu teased: "Miss V, who said that I only owe a favor, except for the fact that I am going to save you, it is not a small favor that Lao Wei has done a comprehensive virus investigation, ICE solid defense upgrade, and Qilusi prosthetic implantation." ”

The more V Zi listened, the more weak he became, and then he looked at Lao Wei, and said with some embarrassment: "Ahem, Lao Wei, then I want to ask, I will never owe you how much it costs this time, and I will not repay the debt, rest assured"

Lao Wei waved his hand and said: "Well, you don't have to worry about money, saving your life is more important than anything else, if you really want to thank you, just tell Tang." ”

V was stunned, she heard the meaning of Lao Wei's words, and after this wave of operations, the accounts were all recorded on Tang Yu again.

can be recorded on Tang Yu, it is no different from remembering on her, it is nothing more than another high debt on top of a pile of high debts.

"Lao Wei, I want to pay this money myself"

"No problem, you and Tang can explain it clearly, as for how you talk, I'm old and don't quite understand what you young people think." After Lao Wei finished speaking, he got up and left the operating table and went to pack up his tools.

V saw that Lao Wei was leaving, only Tang Yu was standing in front of her, and suddenly became even more flustered, and just wanted to open his mouth to stop Lao Wei, but the words stopped when he came to his mouth.

She seemed to have compromised, looked up at Tang Yu faintly, felt that her waist couldn't be tough, she just wanted to say thank you, but she didn't know how to speak, and after struggling for a while, she simply said angrily.

"Say what you want."

Tang Yu looked at V, who looked depressed, and couldn't help but feel like bullying her again, and laughed playfully.

"Why, you dare to get so many high-end goods for you, but you blame me for not doing it."

"I'm such a kind person, it's hard to find a lantern in the whole Night City, you have such good eyes, shouldn't you see more clearly?"

V was speechless for a while.

It seems that Tang Yu has not done anything out of the ordinary until now, the car loan, housing loan, hand loan, and eye loan are all paid by him, and the benefits do fall on her, and even the interest has not been collected.

But she just felt aggrieved inexplicably, and felt that this belly in a suit was bad.

At the beginning, I pried her chin, forcibly sold her car, and did so many things without asking her opinion.

Right!

It's disrespectful!

But V is not that kind of squeamish girl, she is dashing on the streets, she doesn't care about these details, and she has punished a lot of street hooligans back then.

But for some reason, she always felt so pressed in front of Tang Yu that she couldn't raise her head, and her fist like an iron block was just in front of this number one hooligan, and she couldn't use her strength.

V calmed his chaotic mind and resumed his previous sharp tone: "You are from the company, we can also do business, now I really don't have the money to pay off my debts, but in Night City, anything can be discussed." ”

"What needs do you have, assassination, transportation, saving people, etc., I can take any way to live, and you and I are happy to pay off a debt in a transaction."

After listening to this, Tang Yu nodded thoughtfully and agreed: "I think your proposal is good, after all, according to your earning ability, I am afraid that it may not be able to be repaid in the next ten years." ”

V：“.”

"Since you said so, don't regret it then, after all, the most important thing in Miss V's mixed road is reputation." Tang Yu joked with a smile, feeling more and more funny about V.

V coughed dryly twice, his eyes avoided Tang Yu's direct gaze, and said: "Don't worry, I have never been ambiguous about business, let's say, what do you need me to do, it happens to be empty now." ”

"But I solemnly remind you again, my name is V, not Miss V!"

V couldn't understand why the person in the suit in front of him always liked to call her like this, and it was so smooth to call, so that they seemed to be very familiar.

Suddenly.

V realized something, as if he had found the reason why he felt strange when he got along with Tang Yu.

That's how it feels.

Tang Yu always acted like she was very familiar with her, but she had obviously only known him for a short time.

V looked at Tang Yu with some suspicion, and felt more and more that his smile was so bad, no man dared to look at her like this since she was a child.

Tang Yu said bluntly: "Well, it doesn't matter if you don't like this title, then our first transaction is that your nickname will be V in the future, and as for the honorarium, 10,000 euros should be enough." ”

10,000 euros plus a nickname?

V was stunned.

Even if it's to pay off debts, it's not so exaggerated.

She felt that the person in the suit in front of her must be crazy, so she would exchange 10,000 euros for a small name.

She really couldn't understand the world of rich people, but she was shocked, and at the same time expressed a certain amount of disdain.

Rich and amazing?

V unceremoniously refused: "Others can, this one can't." ”

Tang Yu was also unambiguous, and asked again: "If you add a deadline to this title, how about it only today?" ”

What?

10,000 euros a day, just to call a V?

I'm afraid it's not crazy anymore, I'm afraid it's a severe cyber psychosis.

But Tang Yu didn't even find a single implant on his body, where did he get cyber psychosis?

“.”

V swallowed, and it was hard to say no words.

Tang Yu saw that V Zi still didn't agree, so he bewitched again: "Then I'll add another condition, this title is only for you and me, what do you think this time?"

In order to let V accept this title, it took Tang Yu a lot of thought.

Now.

He finally found an opportunity to gently slap her face with a banknote while V hadn't made a lot of money, which seemed to be more interesting.

V was so tormented that he didn't know what to do, so he had to say helplessly: "Okay, okay, whatever you want to call it, V will be V."

Seeing that V was soft, Tang Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "Miss V, since the operation has been completed, let's not bother Lao Wei, I'll take you out for a walk." ”

Tang Yu turned around and walked towards the door of the prosthetic clinic, first said goodbye to Lao Weidao, and then turned around and urged V to hurry up.

V got up and left the operating chair, and after thanking Lao Wei, he caught up with Tang Yu's pace and asked with some trepidation: "Go out and go around, what to turn. If it's okay, I'll have to take the commission later. ”

The two of them climbed the stairs and came to the street.

"From now on, I will rent you a day, 10,000 euros, and you will not be allowed to leave without any excuse." Tang Yu looked at V and said lightly, by the way, let V drive her Rayfield.

V was no longer able to complain, but he didn't expect Tang Yu to do what he said.

In the blink of an eye.

Her debts were immediately reduced by 20,000 euros.

If this continues, it may not take half a year to pay off the debt.

Her prosthetic eyes turned, summoning the turquoise beast Rayfield and riding the Super Coupe of the Sword of the Lake Maiden.

The scissor doors of the sports car automatically unfold on the sides, revealing a luxurious, sophisticated high-tech interior.

Tang Yu sat straight into the co-pilot, and V Zi was responsible for driving the vehicle.

With both hands on the steering wheel, V listened to the roar of the vehicle's engine, turned on the real-time projection, and the picture outside the vehicle was restored to the interior of the car one by one.

She took a deep breath and calmed herself down and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Tang Yu replied: "Go to the Heywood Valley area. ”

V gently stepped on the accelerator, and the blue beast began to drive on the wide road, attracting the attention and photos of many people.

She drove the vehicle and seemed to think for a long time before asking a question.

"Why are you doing this to me"

It's a straightforward question, but it's what she wants to know the most.

Why does a senior executive of a company have a relationship with himself again and again?

said that Tang Yu didn't mean it, and he didn't believe it if he was killed.

Tang Yu reminded: "Don't be distracted, if the car is scratched, I'm afraid you will be in vain today." ”

V：“.”

Rebecca: "Instant noodle sauce, it's the holidays, do you have time to have a drink?" ”

Instant noodles: "No, no, I owe a lot of debts that haven't been repaid, the 'Meow Mi Rabbit' gold boss is at the helm, and his fingers on the keyboard are smashed, and he doesn't dare to play." ”

Rebecca: "It's really hard for you to make an appointment with instant noodle sauce, forget it if you don't come out, I originally wanted to take you to shoot and get to know the company, that's the company, but now I won't give you a chance, hum!" ”

PS:

None tonight, so busy at the end of the year.

There is also the alliance leader who has not returned it, and strives to return it before the year.

I'm afraid I won't be able to rest during the New Year, and I want to continue to rush.

The book grades have been rising, probably the best month, and I got the boutique badge today.

There will be a recommendation next week.
