Chapter 9: Dr. Lu
Leaving the scene of the "attack", Nagisa Aragaki followed his memory through the neon-filled streets, squeezed through the crowds of noisy markets, and smashed into the chaotic 3D projections of neon advertisements, and finally arrived at his destination.
He came to a small one-room shop with a simple sign of "Lu's Dental" and knocked on the door.
"Doctor Lu? Is the doctor here? ”
A hemispherical glass cover on the door flickered, and inside it was a round, bloodshot eyeball.
I've heard this prosthetic doctor brag before, this is the eyeball of one of his enemies, and he dug it out to make a door surveillance, and I don't know how much of this is true...
"Huh? Isn't this Aragaki Kid? Why did you come to me? Finally figured out that you want to sell me a kidney? ”
“...... I'm here to pay you back, Dr. Lu. ”
"Eh, it's amazing, you kid can still make money? Awesome, tsk, come to room 306 and find me, I'm having surgery. ”
For a cyberblack doctor like Dr. Lu, the three holes of the cunning rabbit are basic operations, and Aragaki Nagisa doesn't know how many "operating rooms" the other party has, and 306 just happens to be the one he knows.
Nagisa Aragaki walked around again to the door of room 306 of the circular plaza building, knocked on the door, and the door opened automatically.
The small room resembles a horror scientist's laboratory, with a dozen robotic arms and legs hanging from the roof, and various prosthetic limbs and device parts piled up everywhere like garbage.
Walking into the operating room in the middle was even more outrageous, the next wall was filled with bottles and jars of various organs that could not pass the trial, a bunch of eyeballs and internal organs soaked in transparent cans, and the room was full of the smell of formalin.
At this moment, [Dr. Lu] is sitting on an electric arm chair, around the operating table for surgery, but looking at his casual appearance, the operation is probably coming to an end.
"Wait for me, it'll be fine soon, it's just a minor surgery to repair the spine, it's almost done, you can just find a place to sit down first."
“......”
Nagisa Aragaki looked around the room, but couldn't find a place to sit, so he could only stand to the side speechlessly, watching the doctor's operation.
On the operating table, a bald-headed strong man was locked with iron rings and fixed his limbs lying there, and the place where the skin and flesh should have been replaced by a bright silver metal spine, and the whole back was dripping with blood, which looked very oozing.
"Didn't you kid run errands for that gang before? I thought you would cry and run back to help me with cereal, but I didn't expect to make real money? It's a real surprise. ”
Dr. Lu's words are all spoken in Chinese, because Dr. Lu is a Chinese who came to the 11th district to "develop", and "Jiuyuan Zhu" was able to relate to the doctor before, which is somewhat of a reason why he can speak Chinese.
Although most people in the 11th district speak the muddy language of the old country, in those "aristocratic schools" in Shangcheng District, Chinese is a compulsory subject, so even without the assistance of translation chips, Jiuyuan Zhu can speak Chinese, and he speaks very well.
In the past, Nagisa Kuragaki didn't quite understand why Dr. Lu was willing to help him, but now Nagisa Aragaki can understand a little.
For Dr. Lu, who is making a living alone in a foreign land, it may be a natural thing to be able to hear the familiar dialect of his hometown.
Anyway, the current Aragaki Nagisa thinks so too.
"Because I got a new job..."
Aragaki Nagisa replied, "But I can only pay you back 2,000 now, and I'll pay back the other 4,000 slowly, after all, I still have to eat." ”
"Okay, whatever you want,"
Dr. Lu, who seemed to have finished the operation, threw away his glasses, applied a strange layer of liquid to the bald man's back, and was sent off the operating table by the electric arm chair.
Dr. Lu is a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of life, about forty years old, except for a mechanical leg on his right leg, there are not many traces of prosthetic transformation on his body.
He walked up to Nagisa Aragaki, looked Nagisa Aragaki up and down, and said with a smile:
"I haven't seen you for a few days, but your kid's Chinese is getting more and more slippery, what kind of job did you find this time? Hehe, it can't be that someone sold someone and still counts the money for others, right? ”
Dr. Lu looked around his "operating room", but when he couldn't find a stool, he smashed his mouth, and when he saw that Nagisa Aragaki was still peeking at the strong man on the bed, he waved his hand at him:
"Let's go, there's nothing to see, that guy took a strong anesthetic injection, and he won't wake up for a while, come and sit here."
Dr. Lu walked out of the "living room", dug out two tin cans from a pile of mechanical garbage, motioned for Nagisa Aragaki to sit casually, and then ran to the freezer and took out two bottles of cocktails and threw them over:
"I've got the lowest alcohol here, do you like to drink it?"
Aragaki Nagisa is not polite, "Old Agaki Nagisa" is a well-behaved boy who doesn't drink, he's not, there is a boss to ask for something to drink, don't be in vain.
"I've got a new brain, so let's make a friend, doctor."
"Huh? Yo! God asks IX.-30!? Awesome, this is a good thing, where did you get it, I don't want to buy it! ”
Dr. Lu was taken aback: "What about your old brain machine?" By the way, you won't really sell yourself yourself, will you? Thanks to that, it's better to follow me as an apprentice, at least you don't have to clock in when you go to work. ”
“...... No, my old brain computer was burned out by the Ravens' virus chips,"
Aragaki Nagisa was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly thought that although Sister Miyuki said that she would be equipped with an exclusive brain computer when she joined the company, she didn't say that this brain computer was free, and she didn't receive a new notice of arrears.
"Well, let me ask more, how much does this brain computer cost?"
"If you ask for the IX. series, it starts at 50,000 yuan, and your 30 is the latest model, and the official website price is 64999, but you have to spend at least 70,000 or 80,000 yuan to buy it in Edo."
“...... It's so expensive,"
Nagisa Aragaki stuck out his tongue, his mood was complicated, although he knew that this brain machine was very expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive, and he couldn't afford it for ten months without eating or drinking at his salary.
What should I do if I have a stronger sense of sight when I am fostered...
"So you're really sure you're not being sold?"
"No, but I did join a large company, the Far East Security Bureau, have you heard of it?"
"......" Dr. Lu craned his neck to take a sip of cocktail, pouted, "What is it?" Government agencies? Is there still such a place in Edo? ”
"Well, I was shocked at first, but this is a department affiliated with the [Huameng Military Industry], how many other companies in Edo are more powerful than the Huameng Military Industry? In short, I signed a labor contract and was not deceived. ”
Aragaki Nagisa re-added the other party's friend, and then transferred two thousand yuan in one operation.
"Forget it, I don't bother to care about your, you also paid back the money, just get out of here if it's okay, my guest is about to wake up, if he sees you, it will be good."
The doctor waved his hand and began to send the guests off impatiently.
"I know, tsk, I'm moving out tomorrow, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to see you again in the future, so I'm here to talk to you."
Aragaki Nagisa scratched his head, hesitated, and still spoke:
"I've been in this place for a month, doctor, you're the only one who has helped me, that... Thank you. ”
"Hey~!!"
Dr. Lu hugged his arms and shook exaggeratedly, and stayed away from Aragaki Nagisa with great disgust:
"Damn, your grandmother's land, don't you just see that your kid is pitiful and confiscates your interest? Is it hypocritical or not? Disgusting to death! Get out of here! ”
“...... I'm leaving! Good bye! ”
Nagisa Aragaki also felt embarrassed, and she almost wanted to find a crack to get into, but you can't talk to Uncle Dog? Am I too young to lose face? No wonder there is no girlfriend! Bah!
"Hey, Aragaki Kid."
Aragaki Nagisa turned his head and saw a piece of something smashed head-on, he reacted quickly, hurriedly took it with both hands, and when he looked at it, he found that it was a small box used to hold chips.
"Huh? What is it? ”
Doctor Lu said with a smile: "You kid and I are also acquaintances, uncle and I are much older than you, so I have to express that I will give you a little gift, you're welcome, it's worthless." ”
"So what kind of chip is this? Don't be that virus-laden garbage, I don't want to burn my brain again..."
", am I that kind of person? The most important thing for us to be doctors is whether we understand credibility? ”
Dr. Lu glared at Nagisa Aragaki and said, "This is the Mewtwo chip, your brain computer should be able to plug and play, and you don't need to buy a new Mewtwo device." ”
"This is what I have treasured over the years, and occasionally I look at the grasslands, deserts, the world's first peaks... You've never seen any of these landscapes, have you? ”
"Uh... Indeed, no. ”
"Tsk, if you're young, you have to broaden your horizons, Edo is too small, don't let yourself be confined here, this world is far more exciting than you imagined... In short, don't do anything stupid. ”
“......”
Aragaki Nagisa was in a trance, and if it was "Kogaki Nagisa" standing here, it would have been even more emotional, and the doctor probably noticed that the "Kogaki Nagisa" mentality was a little wrong.
That's why you use this method to enlighten yourself? It's really hard for him to have such a delicate mind for an old man.
But I'm not the old Nagisa I used to be.
"I see,"
Nagisa Aragaki smiled and said, "Thank you, Dr. Lu, you are such a good person. ”
"Get out!"
