Chapter Eighty-Five: Coming Home
The sword in the stone scurried like the wind under the gray night sky, like a sharp sword straight into the North Oak District of Night City.
Entering this area, the shadows of green trees that are barely seen in the city begin to appear on both sides of the road, the road is so clean that there is not a trace of garbage in sight, and the manors are like medieval aristocratic domains, scattered with bright lights in the moonlit night.
Lin Mo held the steering wheel with one hand with an indifferent face, and the pointer of the dashboard had a faint tendency to shift to the far right (people with a reaction attribute of less than 10, don't try).
With the speed of the Sword in the Stone now, as long as there is no traffic jam on the road, he can reach almost any area of Night City in two hours.
If the speed component and reaction component were not implanted before, Lin Mo might still be a little in awe of the traffic rules.
Now with the help of these two prosthetics, he can completely despise the worldly speed of time to a certain extent, so the so-called traffic rules have become an illusory bubble, and he has abandoned them.
Of course, the reason why Lin Mo drove the sword in the stone to a rapid speed was also because there was not much time left today.
After chatting with Mann and Sasha about the details of the commission, he stayed at the restaurant for a while and celebrated with them.
Although he wanted to stay there and spend the whole day with Mann and the others, he was not allowed to do so in terms of time.
Xu Wanxue is willing to give him enough freedom to get involved in the activities of marginalized people.
Then he can't live up to his sister's expectations, and staying up all night will only worry her.
So after saying goodbye to Mann and the others, Lin Mo returned to the parking lot to sit on the sword in the stone, and drove home with the roar of the engine.
Lin Mo's gaze shifted and looked at the display screen in the car, and the current time was displayed in the upper right corner:
22:32.
At this point in time, there will be no more vehicles passing on the roads of North Oaks.
Even if the big people choose to return home at this time, they are almost always in expensive floating cars.
After a few more minutes, Lin Mo finally saw the door of his mansion, and he also began to reduce his speed.
The monitoring system at the gate recognized his identity, and the energized smart gate slowly opened, just so that Shi Zhongjian went straight in, and there was no need to wait in front of the gate at all.
Driving the car into the garage, Lin Mo tidied up his clothes and personal belongings a little, and walked towards his villa.
As the saying goes, Shibei should be impressed for three days.
Now, only a week later, he has returned home with a very different treatment.
A week ago, he was turned away, and his sister almost packed his things and told him to get out.
Now, he can come back at what time he wants to come back at night, and he seems to have a certain say in this family.
But in the final analysis, it was because Xu Wanxue was extremely doting on him and didn't want him to be depressed and disappointed, so he allowed his dissolute behavior.
She had already given an answer and promise to her younger brother that night, and now Xu Wanxue was not good at pointing fingers at Lin Mo's actions.
......
Walking into the villa, the lights in the house are still bright.
There was silence in the room, and the first thing you saw when you walked in was the spacious living room, with bright marble slabs reflecting the starry lights on the ceiling, and a person leaning against a soft sofa.
She turned her back to Lin Mo, leaning back on the sofa and only revealing her black hair that was spilling like a waterfall, and in front of her was a holographic TV playing.
Lin Mo slowed down and walked over without making a sound.
Walking over to take a look, Xu Wanxue's tired side face came into his eyes, the woman who was worried about her younger brother seemed to be very sleepy, and she fell asleep silently on the sofa.
Lin Mo picked up the remote control on the desktop, turned off the TV, wrapped one hand around his sister's thigh, and the other around her shoulder, easily picked it up, turned around and walked upstairs.
Xu Wanxue's eyebrows moved, but Lin Mo, who was walking towards the bedroom, didn't see it.
Coming to the second floor, Lin Mo's footsteps paused, and he was shocked by what he saw.
The second floor of the villa is usually used for relaxation and entertainment, with a music cabinet, a small bar and a small wine room, and a few game consoles in the corner, and you can go out for a swim with the floor-to-ceiling windows open to the balcony.
But right now, it's a mess, with wine bottles all over the floor, some filthy and dirty vomit spilled on the ground that hasn't been sorted out, and the game console is still on, and the screen is a level page waiting to start......
What shocked Lin Mo the most was that in the corridor leading to the bedroom, there was a red-haired woman who had no scruples about her face and dignity and had a fairly plump figure.
Liu Ruoying, the prosthetic expert who helped him implant the biological component, Lin Mo recognized her identity.
Why is she still asleep here?
The boy was confused.
There are not many things in their house, there are many vacant rooms, and a large villa is only inhabited by the sister and brother, and the vacant rooms can be opened to open a small hotel to attract guests.
If it weren't for the red-haired woman who reached out and scratched her ass in her sleep in a daze, Lin Mo wondered if she was a dog.
Right now, the notionist is lying in the hallway, his seductive pelvis slightly upturned, showing off his beautiful body curves.
The scene of such a temptation of cigarettes was no less than a sleeping tiger entrenched in the middle of the road in Lin Mo's eyes, and he, "Wu Song", was stumped for a while.
Just go over and kick her out of the way, or do you just go around carefully?
Just when Lin Mo fell into the ultimate thinking about life, the woman in his arms suddenly moved.
Lin Mo's perspective moved down, and he saw a pair of soft and beautiful big eyes, and his eyes were full of playfulness.
The woman took out her hand in his arms, touched his face, stared at her brother without blinking, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a good-looking smile, then gently waved her palm, patted Lin Mo's cheek, and complained:
"You kid, you're finally willing to come back?"
"Something happened today, and there was a delay." Lin Mo was vague and gently covered up the past of the day's itinerary.
Xu Wanxue didn't ask any more, just fooled around outside.
No matter how big her brain was, she never imagined that her younger brother would cut dozens of people tonight, and the blood cut out of the katana in her hand could flow out of a river of blood.
Since the tracker was blocked and disrupted by the signal, in her opinion, Lin Mo was just wandering around a few times outside, and she didn't encounter anything dangerous.
As long as nothing happened to Lin Mo, she could still endure such a trivial matter as returning late.
"Do you want me to let you down?" Lin Mo looked at his elder sister and asked.
"Keep holding it, don't let go, I don't want to land yet." Xu Wanxue reached out to hug Lin Mo's neck without any scruples, and laughed in a low voice.
Lin Mo didn't refuse, looked at the red-haired woman who was lying on the ground sleeping soundly, hesitated for a while and asked:
"How did that auntie fall asleep on the carpet?"
"She, she drank too much with me, and then tried to enter your room on a whim, but she was stunned by the security system installed on your door, and fell asleep."
Xu Wanxue said calmly, as if she didn't mean to pity her best friend.
