Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 174

Heywood Valley area.

A blue supercar was driving on the road without any haste.

Whenever passing a place with heavy traffic flow, the blue supercar will slow down, and even stop and wait when encountering pedestrians crossing the road.

V held the steering wheel tightly with both hands, stared at the surroundings with concentration, and drove the super sports car with extreme caution.

Now she keeps her nerves high, for fear that this expensive sports car will be scratched, so as not to pay an expensive price, after all, she has already carried a whole body of debt.

at last.

They reached their next destination.

Jingu Temple.

V parked the car in the special parking space steadily, and light signs were suspended around the parking space immediately, surrounding the whole car, warning the surrounding people or vehicles not to approach.

After parking the car and turning off the engine, she breathed a sigh of relief, stroked her hair that had just been dyed black and straightened, and pulled a few strands of hair from the sideburns behind her ears, feeling quite uncomfortable.

The current V not only has long hair and shawls, but also has fine and lovely bangs scattered on the brows, adding a bit of youthful and pure atmosphere.

Coupled with a fair and flawless oval face without makeup, beautiful big eyes, and sexy lips, she is pure and lustful.

The full potential of the top beauty has been released like never before.

The scissor doors of the supercar automatically went up, and the two stepped out of the car.

After V locked the car, he followed Tang Yu's pace without saying a word, and seemed a little depressed.

She followed Tang Yu one after another, fiddled with her black hair from time to time, and the hair turned over and over between her fingers, and she looked at it over and over again, no matter how she looked at it, she felt weird.

V sighed helplessly, inexplicably nostalgic for the colorful afro in the past, which was both trendy and independent.

The reason why she changed into this black and straight look is entirely thanks to Tang Yu.

If it weren't for Tang Yu insisting on taking her to a haircut, he also found a few stylists to discuss the design. After the last argument, Tang Yu decided on the current hairstyle without asking her opinion from the beginning to the end.

V didn't want to change any hairstyle at first, mainly because she has been used to it since she was a child.

But he really couldn't stand Tang Yu's ability to make money, so he had to compromise and was forced to cut his long hair once, completely changing his appearance.

She really couldn't bear to see a head of beautiful hair being ruined by the barber, so that she closed her eyes during the whole haircut, not daring to see the result at all.

When the two passed by a luxury store on the street, Mrs. V was shocked when she saw her own reflection in the electronic mirror.

"Fuck"

"Is this riding horse still me?"

V couldn't believe the figure in the mirror, it was as different from her as before, and couldn't help shivering all over.

The beautiful waiter in the luxury store saw V standing in a daze at the door of the store, even though she was dressed like a street slut, she still smiled with bright eyes: "Sister, you are so beautiful! This is the first time I Seeing such a beautiful face of yours."

Only then did V come to his senses, looked at the luxury clerk, faced with the praise, and didn't know whether to thank her or scold her.

In desperation, V had to laugh a couple of times in embarrassment, and muttered.

"nice?"

"It's impossible for this word to have anything to do with me."

V lowered his head and didn't dare to glance around anymore, and hurriedly continued to follow Tang Yu's footsteps, not knowing what he wanted to do.

At the beginning, V accidentally bumped into someone and felt her forehead hit the other person's chest. She was not happy at all, but just about to open her mouth to swear, she heard a familiar voice.

"Here is the place."

Only then did V realize that it was Tang Yu that he bumped into, took two steps back, and returned to the front of the store just now, and found that the logo of Jinguji was printed on the uniform of the waiter just now.

Jingu Temple?

This place is a serious high-end custom clothing store, usually people who come here to buy clothes are either rich or expensive.

Any piece of clothing here costs tens of thousands of euros, and expensive ones can even sell for tens of thousands of euros, which is not a place where a street mercenary like her can afford to spend.

The beautiful waitress at Jinguji Temple warmly greeted V again: "Welcome to the store to buy."

V looked at Tang Yu again, wanting to confirm if he had mistaken the store, but found that the other party had already entered the store without looking back.

She had no choice but to follow along. If Tang Yu wants to buy clothes here, it doesn't matter to wait here.

The beautiful waiter accompanied V, and began to seriously introduce the women's clothing styles of Dao Jingu Temple: "Is this your first time shopping at Jingu Temple? We can measure your body and record exclusive customer files for you. You choose or customize suitable and decent clothing”

V felt a little embarrassed, her clothes looked out of place here, and she couldn't even take out the money to buy a needle and thread in her pocket, let alone buy Jinguji's clothes, so she declined softly.

"Thank you, no need, he wants to buy clothes, I just followed him for a stroll." V said, pointing to Tang Yu who was walking in front, dressed in a vintage suit, he looked like a wealthy company dog ​​in a suit.

The beautiful waiter didn't leave V's side, but she smiled meaningfully and insisted on explaining: "Please rest assured, as a valued customer of our company, I believe that we will provide you with satisfactory service and purchase satisfactory clothing."

Seeing that the other party was so persistent, V had no choice but to smirk a few times, set up a stall and said frankly: "The ugly thing is the first, I can't afford any of your clothes here, you see, I don't have a lot of money in my pocket. "

After finishing speaking, she put her hands into her trouser pockets, ready to take out the only banknotes left as evidence to prove that she had no money.

When he took out his pocket, he accidentally dropped two small Euro banknotes.

The beautiful waiter put her legs together, covered her short skirt with one hand, squatted down elegantly, and picked up the banknotes on the ground for V.

She smoothed the banknote gently, and then handed it back to Mrs. V, her expression still full of enthusiasm.

V took the banknote and thanked him with some embarrassment.

If the fist doesn't hit the smiling person, since the other party insists so much, she can't refuse anymore.

In this way, accompanied by the beautiful waitress, V wandered aimlessly around the store.

She saw Tang Yu walking into the clothing store under the leadership of another tailor, probably to measure his body shape.

Anyway, it’s okay now, V is also interested in the expensive clothes sold in Jinguji, and wants to know how much these clothes, which look so pitifully scrapped and can’t even cover the shoulders and belly buttons, will sell for how much and what kind of clothes are they? People are buying.

The beautiful waiter patiently and meticulously answered one by one, emphasizing the target customer group of Jingu Temple, which is only for high-end wealthy people.

in short.

Jinguji only does business for a handful of wealthy people.

V scoffed inwardly.

'I'm afraid only fools would buy these clothes. '

She asked: "Excuse me, can you touch this dress and try the feel?"

The beautiful waitress nodded, indicating that she could still try it on.

V quickly explained that she was just curious about the difference between the fabric of these clothes and the clothes outside.

She casually touched a few of them lightly, and felt that these women's clothes were more brittle than paper, and the thread might break if she couldn't help but raise her legs a few times.

Accompanied by the beautiful waiter, V looked at the clothes for a while, returned to the front desk of the lobby, and was about to leave after Tang Yu came out.

Soon.

Tang Yu came out, looked at V and asked seriously: "Is there an acceptable style?"

V was stunned, listening to this meant that Tang Yu wanted to buy clothes for her, and quickly refused: "No, no, to be honest, I have no interest in the clothes here, the clothes here are not suitable"

Before she finished speaking, Tang Yu interrupted her and said bluntly: "All the clothes she has seen, asked, and touched just now are packed."

V: "???"

The beautiful waiter's eyes flashed brightly, and the result was as she expected from the beginning.

Judging from her years of experience in the high-end clothing sales industry, it is impossible for a powerful company executive to bring such a beautiful girl with such shabby clothes. Two possibilities.

It's just that the girl in front of her is obviously still in the dark, and she doesn't know the other party's intentions at all.

Hearing Tang Yu's order, the beautiful waiter looked at V with some envy, and couldn't help but sigh at her good luck to meet such a generous celebrity and have such a beautiful appearance.

V was really dumbfounded. Regarding Tang Yu's behavior as an upstart, he couldn't do anything except stare dryly.

This is not repaying debts, it is clearly making fun of myself.

While the waiter was packing the clothes, she saw Tang Yu sitting on the sofa, drinking tea calmly.

If it is said that V was still patient at the beginning, playing house with Tang Yu, a company executive in a suit.

Up to now, she is really moving and getting angry.

No matter how rich Tang Yu is, there is no need to tease people like this. She doesn't care about these things at all.

V stood in front of Tang Yu with a serious expression, stared at him and said seriously.

"Wearing a suit, it's my fault for stealing your car, it's my duty to pay off the debt."

"You and Lao Wei saved me. I will never renege on the favors I owe, and what I said will definitely count."

"But are you so interesting? There's no need to make me happy."

"If you really have something to say, please stop playing these tricks."

"That's it for today, please return the clothes."

Done.

V turned around and walked out of the store, leaving behind Tang Yu who was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, and the beautiful waiter who had just packed his clothes with a look of astonishment.

These days, she really had enough. After returning to Night City, she inexplicably owed a pile of debts, lost her arm during a mission, and was attacked by an electronic virus not long ago.

It really made her feel very unlucky, the irritability in her heart couldn't stop popping up, her left hand clenched her iron fist unconsciously, and she felt an urge to blow everything up.

Just as Mrs. V was about to leave the Jingong Temple, she suddenly saw a person walking slowly at the door of the store, blowing a soft whistle.

What caught V's attention was that the other party looked sloppy, with mantis knives out of both hands. No matter from that angle, he didn't look like someone who went into a store to buy clothes.

I saw the other party dodging into the Jingu Temple at a very fast speed, quietly approaching behind a customer, and easily cut him off in the middle with a knife.

After the action, still humming a strange little tune, shaking his head and walking towards the house.

Son V looked horrified.

Cyber ​​maniac?

The other party entered the room without asking whether the situation was right or wrong, and directly raised the knife and cut the person in half. He didn't intend to stop, and continued to attack and kill another customer.

Such a crazy performance, there will be no other possibility except cyber madmen.

After the cyber lunatic killed two people in a row, it immediately caused panic among the crowd in the hall, and those people in expensive clothes ran around screaming and howling.

"Cyber ​​madman, cyber madman!!!"

"Help, there are cyber lunatics!"

"God, run away, run away!"

Facing the cold-blooded and ruthless cyber madman, no one wants to stay here and wait to die.

Before V could react, the gate at the gate of Jinguji fell automatically, locking everyone in the shop.

The red lights in the Jinguji store flickered, and harsh alarms were heard endlessly.

She immediately looked back at the front desk, only to see a waiter hiding under the table, activated the containment system and called NCPD.

V cursed secretly.

Now locked in the same hall with the cyber lunatic, before the NCPD sends support, everyone's life will be in danger, especially Tang Yu, who is defenseless.

While V was distracted, the cyber lunatic had killed four people in a row in the shop.

It seemed that the more he killed, the more comfortable he felt, and he even laughed happily.

The crazy cyber maniac locked his eyes on Tang Yu. His goal seemed to be very clear. He always aimed at people in suits and started slaughtering. He seemed to have an unusual hatred for such people.

The cyber maniac didn't care about V in front of him, and went straight to kill Tang Yu behind V.

V didn't care about other things, he clenched his fist tightly with his left hand, and when the cyber lunatic passed by, he punched it out.

The cyber lunatic didn't dodge, and the steel fist hit the opponent's door directly, sending him flying to the other side.

After the cyber lunatic fell to the ground, he was not moved by the sunken wound on his face, and continued to struggle to get up, trying to kill Tang Yu, and kept chanting.

"If there is not a good thing in the company, the company will kill all the good things."

V rushed up without hesitation, stomped him to the ground, swung his heavy iron fist, and slammed it madly at the cyber madman's face.

One punch, two punches, three punches.

After throwing countless punches, the cyber maniac on the ground was completely changed and completely breathless.

But V still didn't let him go, and continued to punch hard.

When she raised her fist again, she was stopped by a hand.

"V." Tang Yu held her wrist firmly and said in a deep voice.

V turned her head, with a few drops of blood stains on her cheeks, and the anger and murderous intent that had not faded still lingered between her eyes.

Panting heavily, she looked straight at Tang Yu in front of her, motionless.

After a while.

Only then did V let go of his iron fist, and withdrew his foot from stepping on the cyber maniac.

Maybe it was because she was too emotional, and because she used too much force just now, her chest was still rising and falling slightly, and she exuded a sharp breath.

What made her feel weird was that a sentence was repeated repeatedly in her mind, a sentence from the cyber lunatic just now.

"There is nothing good about the company"

This made her feel a little palpitations.

V took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes, trying to dispel the strange voice.

Just as V was trying to calm down, the Jinguji electronic gate opened automatically.

A group of people walked in, dressed in black tactical uniforms, wearing tactical multifunctional helmets, and holding heavy machine guns.

Seeing them, the attendant of Jingu Temple quickly got up and greeted them, and said, "It's great for you to come, hurry up, there are cyber lunatics here."

Tang Yu looked up and saw that the people entering the room were the Terrorist Mobile Team, which specialized in dealing with cyber lunatics and enjoyed a great reputation in Night City.

The violent terrorist mobile team quickly sealed off the scene, and the leader of the violent terrorist mobile team approached and learned about the situation from the waiter.

Seeing the cyber lunatic who had been shot to death, she couldn't help but look at V, and smashed a cyber lunatic to death with her bare hands. This ruthlessness caught her attention.

The officer of the violent terrorist mobile team took the initiative to step forward and said coldly: "According to the established procedures, I am now asking you about the situation of this attack."

When V heard a stranger questioning, he opened his eyes and looked at the officer of the violent terrorist mobile team.

After a moment of silence, she slowly opened her mouth and gave a general account of what happened at the scene and how she killed the cyber maniac.

The leader of the violent mobile team listened and recorded, and then added: "This cyber lunatic seems to follow a certain habit of killing people. The four dead people who died just now were all people in suits."

After finishing speaking, she looked up at Tang Yu, her eyes were blocked by tactical goggles, and she couldn't see his expression.

V couldn't help but think of what the cyber lunatic said, but he didn't tell the officer of the violent mobile team in front of him.

The other party continued to record, and said as if talking to himself: "You did a good job, Jinguji blocked the scene in time, and you took action to solve the cyber lunatic without causing more casualties."

V didn't respond to this, she didn't care about these things at all, what really puzzled her was why this cyber maniac was targeting the company employees in suits, and what purpose was hidden in it.

She looked at Tang Yu beside her, with faint worry in her eyes.

The leader of the violent and terrorist mobile team quickly finished the record, put away the electronic tablet in his hand, and called the other team members to prepare to close the team. Before leaving, he specifically said to V.

"If you think this feels good, you can contact me, Melissa Rory, a senior operator of the Terrorist Mobile Squad."

Done.

Melissa Rory left the scene with the Terrorist Mobile Team, leaving only corpses and messes all over the place.

After experiencing such a cyber lunatic, all the customers in the Jingu Temple ran away.

The beautiful waiter has recovered from the panic and stepped forward to apologize to Tang Yu and V. For this unexpected situation, Jinguji will provide compensation.

Tang Yu was not interested in Jingu Temple's compensation, it was nothing more than some discount coupons to let the waiter continue to pack the clothes.

Seeing that V had calmed down, Tang Yu asked, "Are you angry?"

The cyber lunatic who entered the store and attacked him just now was not very strong, and he was okay for a sneak attack, and he was not an opponent at all in a frontal conflict.

Tang Yu saw a trace of weirdness from V's ruthlessness and anger.

V put his hands down, and shook his head helplessly: "No, what I said just now was wrong, don't take it to heart."

After she calmed down, she realized that her inexplicable irritability had nothing to do with Tang Yu.

Although Tang Yu always likes to tease her, he has never deceived her, and even saved her life, which she always remembers in her heart.

But V faintly felt that something had affected her, an indescribable smell.

then.

She continued: "do you have anything else to do later? I'm free today. I can talk to you for a while."

Affected by the cyber lunatic just now, V still feels a little bit afraid.

If Tang Yu was standing at the door at that time, then it is very likely that he is lying on the ground now.

She has never hated Tang Yu, but she can't accept that Tang Yu is always cynical and teases her at every turn.

Obviously everything is being good to her, but she always has that corporate doggy style, which makes her unable to deal with soft and hard things, and feels inexplicably aggrieved.

But now it seems that Tang Yu can stand beside him alive, which is the best result.

Seeing that V suddenly changed his temper, Tang Yu joked: "Why, I'm going to find a new home, so are you willing to spare time to spend time with me?"

"I have to say that the violent mobile team is really suitable for you. Sometimes when you are in a bad mood, you should kill a few people to vent."

He was referring to the fact that Melissa Rory of the Terrorist Mobile Squad sent an invitation to V. For the unemployed vagabond V, joining the Terrorist Mobile Squad has a lot of benefits.

Although the violent terrorist mobile team is affiliated to the NCPD on the surface, it actually maintains an independent command and dispatch system and is in a relatively neutral position.

As the most powerful department of NCPD, the violent terrorist mobile team not only receives the most resource support, but also has sponsorship from major companies.

Their existence is an important cornerstone of the stability of the entire city.

The violent and terrorist mobile team has a clear mission, specializing in dealing with out-of-control cyber lunatics and large-scale massacre riots.

Therefore, they are very well-equipped, and almost all those who enter the terrorist mobile team enjoy the top combat implants.

If V can join the Terrorist Mobile Team, he basically doesn't have to worry about improving his strength.

V seemed to be infected by Tang Yu's jokes, so he replied: "I'm not as perverted as you, I have to rely on dry people to vent."

The two were chatting, and the waiter packed all the clothes and sent them over.

Tang Yu signaled V to take all his clothes, and then he was ready to go to the next stop.

V hurriedly followed with big bags and small bags, and asked as he walked, "What do you want to do, you in a suit? You're doing your hair, and you're shopping for clothes and accessories."

"If you really think you have too much money, you can donate it if you can't. It's good to do charity, so you don't have to look for trouble every day."

Tang Yu replied: "You little clever ghost, how do you know that we are going to do charity, and I bought you clothes for the charity party tonight."

"Get in the car, drive there now, the time is just right."

V is dumbfounded.

Charity Gala?

She quickly refused and said, "I won't go to any charity gala. I've never attended any gala in my life."

"I don't know how to sing or dance. I'm afraid I'll embarrass you if I go. If you, a dignified company executive, take me there, wouldn't it be a joke to let others hear it?"

Tang Yu stood in front of Leifield and said with a smile: "Although you are not very good at all aspects, you can be more confident in your appearance."

V was at a loss for words for a while, according to Tang Yu's words, referring to her as a vase with a superficial appearance, he couldn't help muttering in his heart.

"Heh, you're too shy to wear a suit. You don't have a decent implant all over your body. If I didn't come out with you because I was kind enough to see you pitiful, I probably wouldn't be able to survive tonight."

V thought so in his heart, but changed his mouth and said: "No, no, I didn't even change my dress for the party. I can't go to the party dressed like this. You are not ashamed, but I am ashamed."

Tang Yu sat straight in the driver's seat, and after V got into the car with a bunch of packing bags, he smiled and said, "It's okay, just change it in the car."

Seeing V's face froze instantly, Tang Yu added: "Don't worry, everything you need to see"

V snatched Tang Yu's hand, put it in his mouth and bit it hard, and said with a grin.

"No! Sure! Again! Mention!"

North Oaks.

Stone Peak Seat, Wood Manor.

On the tidy runway, one after another, expensive luxury cars began to enter the arena slowly.

From time to time, floating cars descended in the sky and fell into the spacious and unique manor.

at this time.

A blue beast supercar rushed through the gate of the courtyard and passed several high-end business cars one after another.

After a burst of sudden braking, the supercar stopped firmly in front of a red carpet and arrived at its destination.

The party scene.

It is not only the annual meeting of Ye's Company, but also a charity party, and it is also a grand gathering of celebrities in Night City.

As the local giant of Night City, Ye's Company was developed from the Ye's Foundation founded by the city's founder Richard Knight's wife, Miriam Knight, and has made indelible contributions to the prosperity of the city. .

Miriam Knight inherited her late husband's will and led Ye's company into the construction of Night City, striving to build the ideal city in their hearts.

therefore.

Ye's Company has an extraordinary status in Night City, and Miriam Knight also enjoys a very high reputation and extensive connections.

The party has publicly stated that Miriam Knight, who has long retired behind the scenes for many years, will appear at the party.

This news was nothing short of sensational, and all the dignitaries and dignitaries in Night City flocked here, feeling honored and proud to be invited to this evening party.

The scissor door of the blue supercar opened up, Tang Yu got out of the car first, then walked to the co-pilot and opened the door.

He stretched out his hand like a gentleman and invited his female companion to get off the car tonight.

V, who was sitting in the co-pilot, blushed a little by Tang Yu's actions, and knocked off his hand.

"I will go by myself"

Done.

V held the hem of the skirt in one hand and grabbed the roof of the car with the other, stepped on the high heels carefully, and leaned out.

But she was wearing high heels for the first time, and she accidentally sprained just when she got up, and then quickly hooked Tang Yu's arm to stabilize her figure.

"Well, if you don't want to use crutches, it's better to support me."

V had no choice but to compromise, so he took Tang Yu's arm and stepped onto the red carpet with small steps.

I saw that both of them were dressed in black dresses. What was different was that V was wearing a light black gauze mask and black crystal shoes on his feet. His slender waist was outlined by belts to outline a perfect figure, showing the mystery of a black beauty. .

V held Tang Yu's arm while walking, and complained fiercely: "I said no, you just have to force it."

Tang Yu smiled and said bluntly: "It's okay, I'll add money."

V: "."

Before the two had walked a few steps, Tang Yu saw a familiar face, it was his old boss Arthur Jenkins, who greeted him from not far away.

Jenkins came to the two of them with a wine glass in his hand, and said with a smile:

"Don, you are late."

"I have a special friend who must be recommended to you."

"He told me himself that he has admired your name for a long time."

Done.

Tang Yu looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a bald man with a big belly waving his hand.

It was Lucius Lane, the current mayor of Night City.

Tang Yu nodded slightly in response, walking slowly with a trembling V.

None tonight.

Fortunately, keep the update.
