"Ah!!h

"Spare me, please, I can pay!"

"I'm sorry, someone has already paid for the money, and people are a lot more generous than you, go die!"

Boom!

With the sound of a gunshot, there was no movement in the dark alley.

Shirahoshi, who was walking aimlessly on the street, was stunned for a moment when he heard the sudden gunshot, but only for a moment, and then continued to wander the street.

He suddenly stopped to see the stars and moon in the sky, but he couldn't see anything because of the heavy neon lights, and after taking a pungent pungent car exhaust that filled the streets, he began to look for a target.

I haven't eaten tonight.

After looking around, Shirahoshi still found his target easily, and he quickly approached it, and then began to rummage through the strong stench.

In anticipation of some leftovers that others discard at will because they find it unpalatable because they have tasted it.

Lady Luck didn't take care of him tonight, he didn't find anything.

Shirahoshi slid against the wall and sat on the ground weakly from hunger.

He watched the cars and pedestrians passing by on the street.

If not, there won't be, it's not the first time I've been hungry anyway, Shirahoshi thought.

It's been more than a week since he'd crossed over to this fucking city, and he's lived like this every day.

Today is no different.

Night City, some people are obsessed, and some people hate.

Bai Xing didn't know much about this city, but he just went through the cloud on the Internet, and he doesn't remember much about it now.

I heard that there was an anime a while ago.,At that time, many classmates around me went to watch it.。

But when he heard it was a tragic story, he wasn't interested.

Because he doesn't like tragedy, this bad world is tragic enough, love tragedy?

Wouldn't it be nice to look at the news?

Shirahoshi took out the hand that was clutched in his pocket and spread out his palm, looking at the golden-colored items on his palm.

It was an arrow of broken arrows—the arrow of insects.

It was the only thing he brought with him through the crossing.

To be honest, this was just the merch he bought before the crossing, until one time-

A homeless man who was also hungry came to snatch his leftovers, and during the fight, Shirahoshi wounded the other party with an arrow, which was just a small hole.

But the other party collapsed directly to the ground, his face was hideous, his mouth was foaming, his body twitched wildly, and in less than a minute, the homeless man lost his breath of life under Bai Xing's nose.

At that moment, Shirahoshi knew that he had bought the real thing.

In general theory, he must have been very happy, which meant that he might have acquired special abilities and be at the pinnacle of his life.

But perhaps it was the scene of the homeless man slumped on the ground and struggling and convulsing that day deeply rooted in his mind.

Shirahoshi is not so pretentious.

Before the crossing, he was just an ordinary student, listening to the words of the elders in the family, studying hard, taking the entrance examination to a good university, finding a stable job, and then starting a family and living this life plainly.

He doesn't think he's unique, ordinary is his own.

Ordinary means that stabbing the worm arrow is equivalent to death, and Shirahoshi is not so soon to want to see Hades.

After all, living is also living.

"Hey, isn't there just one, that's it."

"There's a lot of difference in height and size, can you do it?"

At this moment, two voices suddenly began to talk in front of Shirahoshi.

He looked up and saw the whole picture of the two of them.

Both were dressed in street cowboy style, one with a fanged mask, and the other was staring at him with a pair of glowing red electronic eyes.

"Oh, when the time comes, who will recognize it."

"Okay, let's bring this guy over first."

Shirahoshi's pupils shrank, apparently knowing that doom had come.

He tried to escape, but before he could make a move, he was hit the head, and then fainted.

I don't know how long it has been.

Shirahoshi suddenly woke up, gasping for air like a drowning man who had just been saved.

Where am I?

He glanced around and concluded that it was an abandoned warehouse.

He himself sat on the cold floor, his hands tied behind his back, and a faint pain in his forehead from time to time.

Oh yes, I was kidnapped.

"Yo, you're awake."

The bastard with the fanged mask leaned against the wall, a firearm spinning in his hand.

At this moment, another electronic eye stepped out of the shadows, and kept throwing up and down in his hand something that was very familiar to Shirahoshi—the arrow of insects.

"What shall I say, congratulations? Can be a substitute for a big man. The electronic eye said slowly.

"As long as you're dead, that big guy can fly away and live a good life somewhere else, and you're just a worthless little bug anyway, right?"

"Big brother, aren't we going to do it yet?"

"What's the hurry, wait for the customer to come over, people said, some things have to be installed for him first, so that it can be more real."

"No, isn't this coming?"

The door of the warehouse slowly rose, and a tall figure appeared at the door of the warehouse.

The visitor was dressed in a crisp suit, with high-end implants all over his body, and a bronze metal face, and his electronic eyes flashed brightly when he spoke.

"Plans have changed, and some hyenas have already smelled me." He threw out a bag containing some chips and advanced prosthetics, "Load them all up for him, I'm going to leave right now." ”

"Don't worry, Nonono, my dear Mr. Sirzati, we haven't settled the account yet." As he spoke, he stretched out his index finger and rubbed his thumb.

“……”

The metal face knew that the other party was sitting on the ground and raising the price, and he didn't have much time to grasp himself, so he didn't talk nonsense, and directly transferred a sum of money to the other party again.

"I'll pay you double, hurry up and solve it, I'll go first."

E-eyes looked at the transfer news in front of him and was excited, "Hehe, now you can do something good!" ”

After that, he picked up the bag left by the customer and slowly walked to Bai Xing's side, "I'm sorry, I'll have to bear with it when I put on prosthetics for a while, our conditions are simple, and we don't even have anesthesia." ”

“……”

Shirahoshi lowered his head, his bangs obscuring his eyes, making it impossible to see through his gaze.

Plop –

Plop plop

Shirahoshi's heartbeat had never been so fast, but he was inexplicably calm at the moment.

At the moment when the electronic eye dragged him to the operating table, at this moment so close to death, accompanied by the fear brought by the footsteps of the electronic eye, there was another-

Warm.

Shirahoshi didn't understand where the enthusiasm came from, but he understood something else.

That's how I survived before, both here and before I came to Night City.

Pointless.

"That." Shirahoshi suddenly raised his head and said slowly, "Can I finish myself first?" ”

The electronic eye was a little surprised, but he didn't say anything, and gestured to the masked man on the side with his eyes.

The masked man nodded, took out a pistol from his waist, and handed it over, this low-level weapon could easily kill the protos like Shirahoshi, and it happened to be a small fight for them.

Bai Xing looked at the pistol handed in front of him, shook his head, and said, "No." ”

He looked at the arrows on the ground not far away, which were randomly thrown on the ground by the two of them as garbage.

"I want to use that-"

The untied Shirahoshi didn't think about running away, he didn't have that ability, he knew that there was a gun pointed at his head behind him.

He just quickly walked over to the worm arrow, picked him up, aimed it at his chest, and then—

Poof—

Blood gushed out, and the insect arrow in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and Shirahoshi's body swayed from side to side, and finally collapsed to the ground and convulsed.

Seeing this scene, the two people behind were a little stunned.

"Boy, what is this, so fierce?"

The electronic eye felt even more scared, he was still holding this broken thing in his hand just now.

If you accidentally scratch it......

Oh no, I've long since changed hands.

The electronic eye, which had recovered from his stunned state, patted his companion on the shoulder, and then walked together to the silent Shirahoshi.

"Drag it over, it's a pretending to be on a corpse anyway."

"Okay."

The masked man was just about to reach out and drag Shirahoshi's body, when suddenly there was a "click", and something grabbed his arm.

When I looked closely, it turned out to be Shirahoshi, "Haven't you died yet?" Would you like to give you another arrow? The masked man said with some sarcasm.

Shirahoshi didn't reply, but the hand that grabbed the masked man's arm gradually began to exert force.

Click, click

Cracks began to appear on the surface of the masked man's metal prosthetic right hand.

Of course, there was no pain, and there was no surprise.

Shirahoshi rose from the ground, everything around him was already painted gray, and only himself, and the tall figure floating behind him, retained the color.

The two people in front of him were still, and the masked man still had his mocking look, as if he didn't know that his arm had been completely crushed.

"Just now, it really hurt." Shirahoshi touched his chest, the sharp pain still remaining, "I almost thought I was going to die." ”

"Well, I'm still a little unique......"

At this moment, in this disgusting world, there are at least two seconds that belong to the boy alone, and in these two seconds, everything is at his disposal.

The world will embrace you, but the white star will rule the world.

The young man's mind moved, and the purple figure behind him quickly raised his right hand, flicked the afterimage in the air, and hit the masked man's head.

Boom!

The moment the head was hit by the back of the hand, the fanged mask instantly exploded into countless metal shards and flew out.

This was followed by blood, skulls, and disgusting tissue fluid.

The ticking clock that only Shirahoshi himself could hear rang, and the gray that covered the world quickly closed around him.

Time is running again.

Smack-

The exploding liquid slapped on the electronic eye's face, splashing Shirahoshi's face as well.

The blood that was still warm flowed on the face of the electronic eye, he suddenly reacted, quickly raised his arm, pulled the trigger with his right hand again and again, the bullets poured out wildly, and a large hole suddenly opened on the arm of his left hand, and a sharp blade popped out and stabbed at Bai Xing.

Although in his perspective, the homeless man in front of him just suddenly changed from lying on the ground to standing, and his companion's head exploded in his face, but there was no one else here, and the only possibility was that this homeless man did it.

"Bastard! What exactly did you do! ”

Damn, what the hell is it, Sannweistein? But he's obviously checked it, and this guy is a protozoar!

After a round of firepower was output, he watched the back in front of him slowly fall and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Abba ......"

His mouth opened and opened, but he couldn't exhale that breath, and at this time, he suddenly realized that his perspective had become a little higher, and why was this slowly falling back so familiar.

Kind of like ......

I.
