"Where's the fat uncle from before?"

The down-and-out young man David looked at the strange young man in front of him and asked a little strangely. The decoration traces at the door of the apartment before had already puzzled him.

"He's offended someone he shouldn't have offended, and he's dead in the streets, this kind of thing is common in Night City, isn't it? I'm a new employee. ”

"yes, that's pretty common."

David was in a low mood and asked silently, "How is my mother?" ”

Li Ji made a regretful expression, spread his hands and said, "I'm sorry, we tried our best, but I can recommend a one-stop funeral service for you, if you can act quickly, you should still have time to see your mother for the last time before the cremation." ”

"Of course, this is for a fee."

He added, looking at David, who had his head buried in his collar.

The latter walked silently towards the room where the stove was, while Li Ji followed behind him, looking at him secretly.

"It looks like a very ordinary young man, and sure enough, only experience can make people grow."

At last, David saw his mother, who had already submerged half of her body into the furnace under the control of the operator.

Seeing David pick up the round urn and leave, Li Ji suddenly spoke, "I thought you would rush up desperately, Ms. Leah." ”

"That would have no value other than killing David and me on the spot."

The operator lifted his hat, and it was David's dead mother.

Her original clothes had been worn by a dusted scavenger, and were now in cheap overalls.

"Wise!"

"Your original identity chip was taken out by me with a small means, and now it is estimated that it is gone, and as for the current chip in your head, I added a small play to it."

"Every message you send to the outside world, needs my review, Ms. Leah, and I think you understand what that means."

Leah looked at the young man who had saved his life, she didn't understand what kind of plan was behind this series of operations, but the technology he mastered alone had already made Leah unable to resist.

"But why? Do you want to get to this point? ”

She still didn't understand, and this kind of trick to turn her from a free person was unbelievable to her, and at the same time bewildered.

"Just think so, I want to make up for some regrets!"

Li Ji said something that was inexplicable to Leah.

"But David ......"

Leah wanted to say something, but Li Ji interrupted her with a wave of his hand.

"Trust me, David has a lot more potential than you expected, you should try to get to know your son again, this blow is not a bad thing for him, maybe you will witness the day when he becomes a legend."

"Then you will meet again."

Become a legend? These two hot words made Leah a little suffocated, how many people in Night City buried their bones in unknown corners for these two words?

But after a long time, Leah finally had to smile wryly and say, "I don't have a choice anyway, do I?" ”

Li Ji smiled and didn't answer, who told him that he really didn't know what kind of attitude this great mother had when dealing with people other than her son?

So having an insurance policy is good for everybody, for David.

"Do you have any plans for the future, Lady Leah?"

"Can I get out of your place now?"

Leah asked expressionlessly.

"Not really!"

Li Ji smiled happily, but still comforted: "Don't worry, if I want to harm you and David, how can I make such a detour?" ”

Who knows what other conspiracies you have after that? Leah thought helplessly, but she really didn't have the ability to resist now, this guy's skills were indeed superb, and with her knowledge in Arasaka Company, she couldn't even think of any way to crack it.

"The little thing in your head, after I confirm your attitude, will take the initiative to remove it, please rest assured."

Leah could only choose to believe this.

"What do I need to do? You're not going to let me do nothing all day, are you? ”

"Of course, please wear this."

Li Ji handed Leah a black robe, and said slowly: "I need the information in your mind, as well as your previous work experience, and some small things to trouble you, of course, I think you will be able to succeed." ”

"That's all I have now, isn't it?"

Leah was noncommittal and changed her clothes in person.

The two walked out of the incineration room, and Li Ji introduced Leah to Three Fingers.

"This man, like you, has been deeply hurt by Night City, and the mask that he can't take off is proof that he is now with us."

Three Fingers didn't know that the woman in front of him who was shrouded in a cloak was Leah, and there were some things, after all, the less they knew, the better.

Li Ji had already made a mistake with the pulse bomb before, and he would not do it again this time.

After being busy for so long, Li Ji finally felt that he could take a break, and he was even more tired from singing this big drama than he expected.

wanted David to be reborn from the ashes and become what he remembered, Li Ji once had a lot of trouble with this.

After all, a little change may lead to an unknown deviation, and once the deviation is beyond the scope of his cognition, it will not be as easy as this time to save people.

Fortunately, after meditating on the bitter face, he finally came up with a solution.

If the truth is that David saw his mother's death with his own eyes, retrieved Leah's ashes with his own hands, and finally put on the prosthetic body from the army himself, then as long as the truth repeats itself, David is still the same David, but Leah is miraculously resurrected.

This kind of operation is as if deceiving the whole world.

The complexity of the details is much more difficult than he imagined, for example, the fat uncle at the beginning, he really didn't expect to be so loyal to the scavenger, and in desperation, he ended up, and Li Ji had to go into battle in person.

All in all, except for the decoration traces at the door and Li Ji, the NPC who plays soy sauce, everything is the same as the plot, calculate the time, now David should go to the nominal doctor to install Sianweistein, right?

I'm really looking forward to seeing mother and son in the future.

As for the rest, Li Ji can only take one step at a time for the time being.

Thinking about it, he subconsciously walked up to the rooftop, and saw that Sanzhi was staring blankly at the gorgeous neon night scene of Night City, and his eyes seemed to lose focus.

"Is it beautiful?"

Li Ji, who suddenly spoke up, was startled, and replied with a somewhat stiff expression: "Of course it's beautiful, it's just that people like us, no matter how much we appreciate it, it's just a mayfly, and it's not even a background color." ”

"Yoh? I can't see that you're quite young, do you know what mayflies mean? Li Ji smiled and sat down next to the three fingers.

"It's probably an ant, I don't speak much, I haven't read much before."

"I'm not asking about the lights, I'm asking about where."

Li Ji pointed to the corners where the neon lights could not be illuminated, and under the reflection of the light, the shadows were extremely dark and deep.

Three fingers looked in the direction of the fingers, a little dazed, a little unconfident: "It should be, isn't it beautiful?" ”

"Yes!"

"That's the reality of Night City, those who glow don't count."

"Think about it, the grassroots there who are going through the same experience as you are suffering from various forms of disasters, what caused this?"

Three Fingers thought for a moment and said tentatively, "Scavenger? Faction? Greedy parliamentarians? ”

Li Ji laughed, got up and said in the ear of three fingers:

"It's Arasaka and the system they rely on! Silly boy! ”

Three fingers looked at Li Ji in astonishment, and his eyes burst out with an incredible look.

Does the boss want to......

Three Fingers came up with a terrifying but blood-boiling thought, and he couldn't control it.
