Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

Late night, city, waves, neon, breeze.

It forms a night view and exudes tranquility.

The two silhouettes on the seawall are as silent as the figures in the painting.

Lucy stared at the sea, and her eyes fell on the rocket launch platform farther out on the sea.

a long time.

Lucy reached into her sweater pocket and took out a pack of brown wallets. After opening it, she gently picked up a cigarette between her two fingers.

He picked up the cigarette and handed the brown wallet to Tang Yu.

"Smoke?"

Tang Yu refused.

Lucy closed her wallet with one hand, put it back in her pocket, and then looked at Tang Yu, as if she didn't believe it.

"Huh?"

"Is there any company executive who doesn't smoke now?"

Tang Yu thought to himself that he smoked a lot of things in his previous life.

Lucy lit her cigarette, puffed out smoke and said, "Now we are clear."

Tang Yu leaned against the railing, and the sea breeze blew past the tip of his nose, carrying a faint scent of burnt smoke.

"Well, it's settled."

"But next time I'm on the train, I won't be so lucky."

Lucy put her two fingers in the air and held the cigarette gently, letting the sea breeze blow the cigarette butt and take away the sparks.

"Of course he didn't go."

"It attracted security attention last time."

"It has to stop for a while at least."

Tang Yu looked sideways at her, a little suspicious of her approach, and only aimed at the Arasaka employee's chip.

If it is just to make money, there is no need to take such a big risk. Employees from major companies can take turns. Anyway, none of them are good.

Obviously, there is a deeper purpose behind the silver-haired girl stealing the chip.

"What you're doing is quite dangerous. It's not a wise choice. There are many ways to make money."

Lucy also turned her head and stared at Tang Yu quietly, looking at each other for a moment without speaking.

Tang Yu explained: "You should understand the intelligence methods of Arasaka Company. Although most of the people riding the train are low-level Arasaka employees, they may still be targeted if they attract attention."

Lucy looked away, held the cigarette between her fingers, took a sip lightly, and then flicked the ashes.

"As expected of a senior person working in the company, he knows a lot."

Tang Yu clearly felt that the silver-haired girl's expression had cooled down, and the vigor filled her eyes again, as if the word Arasaka touched her skin.

"You are young and have not undergone any implant modifications."

"Serving as a senior executive in two departments is enough to prove your strength."

"Or maybe it's your luck."

Tang Yu said helplessly: "Maybe as you said, I'm just luckier than others. In this bastard city, if you have bad luck, you may not even see the sun tomorrow."

As if touched by Tang Yu's words, Lucy exhaled a few white smoke, as if she was caught in some kind of memory.

After a while, he spoke again.

"You may be right."

"People do need a little luck to live in this world."

"after all."

“No one knows which one will come first, accident or luck.”

When she said this, her indifferent tone seemed to reveal some melancholy.

Tang Yu felt that Lucy's words were more like what she said to herself.

The girl in front of me is trying her best to avoid certain things and experiences in the past.

"Speaking of how you thought of coming to Night City in the first place, Arasaka is quite powerful here. Maybe you should consider other places."

"Other places?" Lucy looked forward with deep eyes.

"In my opinion, everywhere is hell."

"At least you are free to come to Night City."

"Vagrants, gang members, homeless people, this city has room for all the secrets."

Tang Yu recognized the inclusiveness of Night City.

No matter who you are, you can come to Night City to take a chance.

You may still be in a stinky ditch tonight, but tomorrow you may be standing at the top of the city, enjoying another round of revelry.

"As you said, Night City is tolerant enough, but it is not friendly."

"Arasaka, military technology, biotechnology, these large companies have monopolized the entire city and even the entire world."

"Everyone wants to live and breathe, but they don't get a chance to rest."

Lucy's pupils flashed with surprise, as if she didn't expect that Tang Yu, a senior executive of the company, would say these words, so she joked with a smile.

"So this is one of the joyful experiences of being a senior executive in a company?"

"Standing at the top of Night City, looking at all the living beings under my feet, they are as busy as ants."

"Then I will sigh that the world is a terrible place."

Tang Yu's expression looked a little helpless.

He knew that the silver-haired girl in front of him had always been very wary and distrustful of him.

At least the identity of the senior executive of Arasaka Company has become an insurmountable barrier between Tang Yu and others.

Tang Yu never blamed anyone, even himself, he hated company dogs so much that he could only sigh helplessly in his heart.

"Oh, I was born again, and I really didn't want to be a company dog."

Seeing Tang Yu's silence and no response, Lucy turned around, facing the city and turning her back to the sea.

Several neon advertising lights towered into the sky above Night City.

"Looking at the Night City from here, it looks like a cage made of twinkling lights."

Tang Yu followed the conversation and asked, "That's why you chose to come to the seawall for a night run, at least to give you the feeling of escaping from the prison?"

Lucy said calmly: "Well, I just want to fly far away and go to a very high and far place."

As she spoke, her eyes slowly moved upward, looking into the deep sky of the universe.

Pause for a moment.

The silver-haired girl retracted her gaze, looked sideways at Tang Yu, and joked.

"Night running is a good choice."

"Hmm, it feels good to use the shopping cart."

"After all, danger is always one step behind us."

"Isn't it?"

Tang Yu was speechless.

Tonight's train ride was really about taking off my pants and farting, which was unnecessary.

A matter that can be solved with just one phone call is like a show of speed and passion.

Tang Yu didn't mean to blame her. After all, this was an extremely accidental thing.

He appreciated Lucy's kindness.

she asked again.

"Are you still running tomorrow?"

Tang Yu replied affirmatively: "Of course, running at night can help relieve stress."

Lucy put out the cigarette butt in her hand, looked at Tang Yu and said, "Well, the pressure from the two ministers is indeed great."

"Running on the seawall is good, but you haven't received cybernetic implant modifications yet. The place is too secluded, so you will inevitably encounter dangers like today."

"I suggest you bring two Arasaka personal bodyguards. At least those short-sighted scavengers will not dare to take any chances on you."

"The future emperor of Night City, Arasaka, a workplace star, is making headlines, which is not good."

Tang Yu looked strange, feeling that there was something in Lucy's words, as if she was hiding something deliberately.

"What about you, you also run every day and night?"

Lucy pulled up the hood of her sweatshirt, turned around and walked towards the other end, waving to Tang Yu behind her.

"If you run too slowly, you will be overtaken by danger."

"I'm free tomorrow night."

"Let's meet here."

Finished.

Only a silhouette of Tang Yu's back was left, gradually fading away.

Tang Yu arranged his sportswear a little and looked in the opposite direction.

"It's too far. Call a little Dezi to go back."
