Chapter 173
In the north-central part of Watson District, there are a mess of old apartment buildings, some of which have been abandoned for a long time and overgrown with weeds, and some of which are used by gang members as temporary dens.
With the decline of the northern industrial area, this comprehensive commercial and residential area has also gradually declined. Most of the people wandering in the streets and alleys are homeless and down-and-out.
They gathered here, lying down at random in the corridors and alleys, barely having a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
A black Delaman business car slowly parked, and its destination landed at the downstairs of an old apartment building.
The neighborhood is sparsely populated, few Delaman taxis stop, and almost no one comes here for tourism or errands.
Therefore, the appearance of Delaman's special car attracted the attention of several skinny homeless men on the side of the road, but their shriveled appearance and old prosthetic body made them look weak.
The door of Delaman's taxi opened automatically, Tang Yu stepped out, fastened a single button, and walked straight to the old apartment without stopping.
The situation of this apartment is a little better. Basic water and electricity are connected, and the public elevator can also be used normally.
Tang Yu passed the dark blue apartment passage, walked into the public elevator room, and chose the No.15 floor.
The elevator began to rise slowly, the driving sound of the rollers and the lifting belt creaked, and there was some shaking during the ascent.
soon.
The elevator reached the fifteenth floor.
Tang Yu continued to walk directly into the corridor, and came to an electronic gate near the inside. The arc of his fingertips moved slightly, and the access control was easily broken.
He seemed very purposeful as he stepped through the gate and headed into the house.
The furnishings in the room were extremely messy, with operating tables, shadowless lamps, freezers, and all kinds of medical equipment scattered on the ground randomly, and there were even chainsaws, axes, and bars.
There were still layers of plastic film hanging on the messy wall, and bright red blood was splashed on it, and the whole floor of the house was filled with a damp and fishy smell.
Tang Yu raised his foot and stepped over a corpse. The corpse was wearing a green coat, a mask and rubber gloves, like a butcher who slaughtered pigs and sheep.
There are several corpses like this in the house.
After a little observation, it can be found that their necks were twisted from behind, or they were cut out of shape by sharp blades, or they were shot to death by random guns.
Each corpse has a distinctive way of death, and what they have in common is one word.
'awful'.
Then, he passed by an operating table, on which there was a corpse with all limbs cut off and hung on the wall.
The whole floor of the house twists and turns around several large rooms, all of which are scenes of purgatory.
Obviously.
There was a massacre here not long ago, an atrocity against the butchers on the ground.
Tang Yu walked into the innermost room without changing his face, and found the target person according to the message address.
V.
He has been paying close attention to V's movements. Thanks to the electronic debt relationship contract, no matter V is running away, injured, fainting, etc., the contract will notify him as soon as possible to ensure that the debtor fulfills the contract content.
all in all.
V cannot escape Tang Yu's control before paying off his debts.
When he was communicating with Jenkins at Arasaka Tower, he received a message prompt, so he rushed over immediately.
Not far from the door leading to the balcony, V lay motionless on the ground, as if fainted.
Tang Yu walked over quickly and squatted down, hugged V sideways, and briefly scanned her biological signs.
Apart from being in a fainting state, there is no other life-threatening situation, except that the body still has a little convulsions.
Seeing her like this, Tang Yu probably suffered from an electronic virus and was shot by an electronic gun. Under the double trauma of her body, she was knocked down at once.
He activated the 'weak electric control energy', and the weak electric arc was slowly transmitted along the biological nerve socket at V's neck.
Tang Yu carefully controlled it, so as not to move too much and hurt the important parts of V's son.
If the mind wandered through every part of V's body, Tang Yu quickly completed the preliminary hardware inspection of V's prosthetic body.
There is a slight electromagnetic short-circuit fault, which can be resolved by sending it to the old Vina for debugging.
Tang Yu picked up V horizontally, then left the apartment, returned to the Delaman taxi, and went all the way to Laowei's underground prosthetic body clinic.
Delaman detected the symptoms of passenger V and enthusiastically recommended his new medical package service.
Lao De will never forget his roots at any time, and the projects launched in cooperation with major companies and institutions are becoming more and more extensive.
The new medical package launched this time is to cooperate with the trauma team, including rescue, first aid, emergency and other medical services.
Soon.
The Delaman taxi stopped in front of the divination house, and Tang Yu got out of the car with V in his arms. V in his arms fainted, as if he was unconscious in a deep sleep, unaware of everything that happened outside.
Tang Yu took V into the prosthetic body clinic, and found that Lao Wei did not sit in front of the counter to watch the boxing match, but stood by the sink and washed his hands, as if he had just completed an operation.
"Old Wei, I have caused you trouble again."
When Lao Wei heard the call, he washed his hands while answering, his thick smoke voice was full of vicissitudes of life as always.
"Well, there is some trouble again this time, the operating chair has just been disinfected."
Tang Yu placed V on the operating chair and explained: "It should be that during the mission, I accidentally caught an electronic virus on the scavenger's site, and was hit by a stun gun. I haven't recovered yet."
Lao Wei washed his hands, drained the water stains, put on the auxiliary finger cots again, and walked to the operating table.
"Well, let's see why this talented boxer was knocked out with one blow."
Tang Yu stood by the operating chair and watched Lao Wei's operation.
For Lao Wei's craftsmanship, he expressed absolute confidence.
And V didn't have any injuries this time, the only thing Tang Yu cared about was whether there was any private work in the electronic virus.
After connecting to the biological nerve socket, all the biological signs of V and the implantation information of the prosthetic body are read out.
After the overall inspection, Lao Wei solved several electromagnetic short-circuit problems casually, and said after looking at Tang Yu.
"The little problem has been fixed, and she will wake up soon. It's best to run a full virus scan to make sure it's clean."
Tang Yu nodded, and then added: "By the way, check her underlying database, and you may find some clues."
Lao Wei immediately began to operate the screen, click to enter the underlying database of V, and a series of data symbols appeared on the electronic screen.
"Her ICE protection has been damaged. It should be caused by some kind of large data flood. This is a very dangerous state."
"It seems that it is necessary to upgrade her ICE solid defense, and the software program must also be updated in order to adapt to more complex prosthetic functions."
Tang Yu nodded slightly, agreeing with Lao Wei's approach.
Last time when V sneaked into the territory of the Voodoo Gang in Taiping Prefecture and stole the subnet Poseidon data, the memory chip was burned out by the anti-theft function, so he could only use his own biological nerve data cable to connect, not only to withstand the anti-theft attack, but also to face Subnet Poseidon data flood bombing.
Ordinary people who make such a risky move are very likely to burn their brains in the flood of data, and if they are lucky, they will lose their nervous consciousness and become a lunatic or a vegetable.
However, Mr. V survived, but the ICE and some programs were damaged and traumatized, and the brain was not endangered, which shows that his body has a strong bearing capacity.
It can be said that V is a natural prosthetic body material, whether it is fighting or hacking, it can carry more implants than ordinary people, which is equivalent to being rewarded by God.
Lao Wei is quickly screening the strings in V's underlying database, trying to find some clues.
Generally speaking, if you want to access a person's underlying database, you need the permission of the other party, or use technical means to break through.
However, V's ICE is damaged, and there are many security holes. In the face of experienced hackers and prosthetic doctors, it is almost impossible to prevent it.
Sudden.
An abnormal string caught the attention of Lao Wei and Tang Yu. They stopped the screening and focused on this abnormal string.
After analyzing the string, Lao Wei said bluntly: "It's very strange, the abnormality of the string occurred in the memory storage function area, and it didn't affect the operation of any program. Her brain is still good at present."
Tang Yu seemed to have thought of something, and then said: "It's like a thief entering the house to steal something, and after reading it, return it to the fingerprint left by the original owner."
Lao Wei nodded: "This analogy is very appropriate. It seems that some thieves are already thinking about it. This child has good physical fitness. After the ICE solid defense upgrade is completed, I will give her some good products. I will brighten my eyes in the future. You can always tell who the bad guys are."
Tang Yu looked at V lying on the operating chair, lost in thought.
What is certain now is that someone is eyeing V.
Judging from the information currently available, there is a high probability that she took a fancy to the subnet Seagod data stored in her memory.
But those data were not perfect, and the other party hadn't copied Seagod's data.
It was as if a group of thieves had attacked the castle in a mighty way. A thief sneaked into the inner room, wandered around in circles, and then tiptoed back.
Tang Yu has roughly guessed the specific content of this task.
He was all too familiar with the Watson area, the scavenger, the rescue of the hostages, and then being stunned by the electric shock.
It's just that it was him, Mr. V and Jack, the three slaughtered the scavenger stronghold and rescued the target Sandra Dorset.
In the end, when V checked the naked Sandra, he accidentally caught an electronic virus and was shot by the trauma team who arrived.
Think of this.
Tang Yu realized that something was wrong.
If it is said that the three of them received the rescue commission and got infected with the virus in the scavenger stronghold, it was just an ordinary job.
But now, this paradoxical scene reappeared, and it still fell on V.
This made Tang Yu raise some bad conjectures. Is there a possibility that the mission of rescuing Sandra Dorset is not a simple rescue commission, but there is a deeper purpose behind it.
In other words.
There are some hidden behind-the-scenes pushers who deliberately got V involved in a situation.
The butterfly effect has already happened.
Many people and things around Tang Yu are undergoing major changes, and everything is different from what he has experienced.
Why are some things still happening, as if someone is manipulating them somewhere.
The details of Sandra Dorset are not difficult to find out. Tang Yu already knew her identity. She is an employee of Ye's Company. Because she discovered some secrets of Ye's Company, she was kidnapped and kidnapped by the scavenger.
The problem is back to the original point.
Why can the scavenger, who has always been extremely cruel, tolerate Sandra Dorset spending so many days safe and sound, and lying in the water tank intact, except for the electronic virus in the brain, it is as clean as taking a cold bath at home A bath is no different.
Tang Yu couldn't understand the gang of scavengers very well. Even if Sandra Dorset was of noble origin, it didn't affect their speed at all.
Everything points in one direction.
Night Company.
However, these are only Tang Yu's speculations for the time being, and he does not intend to disclose them to anyone until confirmed.
Because no one except him could detect the abnormality of this commission.
A cyberpunk ran to the scavenger field to save people, and then accidentally got an electronic virus, which sounds perfectly normal.
Tang Yu put his mind away and waited for Lao Wei to complete the virus detection and killing, ICE solid defense upgrade, and control software program update, and then implanted a new prosthetic body into V.
Qilu Division Optical Eye.
After finishing everything, Lao Wei unlocked the port control, allowing V to wake up on his own.
V dimly opened a slit of his eyes.
The shadowless lamp, the red consulting room, the somewhat worn-out blue leather operating chair, and the familiar scene made her feel puzzled.
She looked around in a daze, feeling that her vision was still blurry, as if the camera was zooming in and out.
But I can roughly distinguish the two people in front of me, namely Lao Wei from the prosthetic clinic and Tang Yu in a suit.
Lao Wei asked in a deep voice, "How do you feel, kid."
V heard a familiar voice, tried hard to control his eyeballs, and finally adjusted his focus, and the whole world instantly became extremely clear.
"Well, it seems a little different. It feels like I can see more clearly and wipe away the mist in front of my eyes."
She suddenly thought of the situation last time, when she woke up, she installed a high-end prosthetic arm. Could it be possible to install a hard one after waking up this time?
V blinked his eyes and felt some foreign body sensation, obviously he had undergone surgery.
Lao Wei joked with a smile: "It seems that you have discovered it, and I implanted a cross-section optical prosthetic eye for you. This is the best thing I have left."
"Bilusi? This is a serious high-end product!" V was taken aback, a little unbelievable.
It's only been two times since I came to Lao Wei's place, and I have bought so many good equipment.
"Maybe, but you want more, and I don't have any here." Lao Wei spread his hands and said softly: "At first you may feel a little uncomfortable, such as blurred vision, sensitivity to light, or even Can't see colors clearly, frame skips but it'll be fine soon."
At that time, he prepared this cross-road Siguang eye and planned to leave it to Tang Yu who returned to the city of night.
But after learning from Jack that Tang Yu chose not to do basic prosthetic body transformation, he made a pair of smart glasses.
Therefore, this expensive branch optical eye has been kept in Lao Wei's prosthetic body clinic.
This time I happened to meet V, so I took it out and put it on her.
V nodded, and the vision in front of him gradually returned to clear and saturated, almost without any abnormalities.
Lao Wei continued: "Try the scanner. I opened a character database for you. I got it from NCPD. You need it more than Tang."
V immediately started scanning to identify the old Wei in front of him, and all the information was displayed in front of him.
Subsequently.
She looked at Tang Yu again, and found that she couldn't scan any information, and her identity in a suit was really different.
Tang Yu said, "It's somewhat impolite to scan in front of others."
V turned off the scan, pretended to be nonchalant, and tried to muddle through with a guilty conscience: "Understood, I haven't gotten used to it for the first time, so it takes some time to adjust, and I will pay attention to it in the future."
"This time I owe you a big favor again. If you have anything to do in the future, just ask me, and you will never have to talk."
Tang Yu joked: "Miss V, who said you only owed one favor, aside from the fact that I went to save you, I did a full-scale virus check and kill, ICE solid defense upgrade, and the implantation of the crossroads prosthetic body at Laowei's place." This favor is not small."
The more Mr. V listened, the more guilty he felt, then he looked at Lao Wei, and said with some embarrassment: "Ahem, Lao Wei, I would like to ask you, how much is the cost this time? I will renege on it, don't worry."
Lao Wei waved his hand and said, "Well, you don't have to worry about money. Saving your life is more important than anything else. If you really want to thank you, just tell Tang."
V was stunned, she could hear what Lao Wei said, after this wave of operations, all the blame was placed on Tang Yu.
But remembering it on Tang Yu is no different from remembering it on her. It is nothing more than adding a high debt to a pile of high debts.
"Old Wei, I want to pay for this money myself"
"No problem, you and Tang can explain clearly. As for how you talk about it, I'm old and I don't quite understand what you young people think." After Lao Wei finished speaking, he got up and left the operating table to pack up tools.
Seeing that Lao Wei was about to leave, and only Tang Yu was left standing in front of her, V suddenly became more flustered, and just wanted to stop Lao Wei, but the words stopped on the edge of his mouth.
She seemed to have compromised, and looked up at Tang Yu faintly, feeling that her waist could not become tougher, she just wanted to say thank you, but she didn't know how to say it, after struggling for a moment, she simply said in a pissed off manner.
"Tell me what you want."
Looking at V with a frustrated face, Tang Yu couldn't help feeling bullied her again, and smiled playfully.
"Why, dare you get so many high-end goods for you, but you blame me for failing."
"I'm such a kind person, it's hard to find a lantern in the whole Night City. You have implanted such a good eye, shouldn't you be able to see more clearly?"
V was momentarily at a loss for words.
It seems that Tang Yu has not done anything outrageous so far. He paid for the car loan, house loan, hand loan and eye loan, and the benefits have indeed fallen on her, even without receiving any interest.
But she just felt aggrieved for no reason, and felt that this guy in a suit was a mess.
Picking her jaw up, selling her a car forcibly, and doing so many things without asking her opinion.
Correct!
Just disrespecting people!
But V is not that kind of squeamish girl either. She is chic and unrestrained on the streets, and doesn't care about these details. She punished many street hooligans in the past.
But for some reason, she always felt overwhelmed in front of Tang Yu, and her iron-like fist was in front of this number one hooligan, unable to use her strength.
V calmed down his messy emotions, and resumed his previous sharp tone: "You are a member of the company, and we can also do business. Now I really don't have the money to pay off my debts, but in Night City, everything can be discussed."
"Whatever you need, assassination, transportation, rescue, etc., I can take any way of life, a deal to pay off a debt, you and I are happy."
After Tang Yu finished listening, he nodded thoughtfully, and agreed: "I think your proposal is good. After all, according to your earning ability, I'm afraid you may not be able to pay it off in the next ten years."
V: "."
"Since you've said that, don't regret it at that time. After all, the most important thing for Miss V is her reputation." Tang Yu joked with a smile, and felt that V was more fun.
V coughed twice, avoiding Tang Yu's straight gaze, and said seriously: "Don't worry, I've never been ambiguous about business matters. Tell me, what do I need to do, it just happens to be empty now."
"But let me solemnly remind you again, my name is V, not some Miss V!"
V couldn't figure out why the man in a suit in front of him always liked to call her that, and he called her so smoothly, making them seem to know each other very well.
suddenly.
V realized something, as if he had found the reason why he felt strange when getting along with Tang Yu.
It is this feeling.
Tang Yu always acts as if he is very familiar with her, but she obviously just met him not long ago.
V looked at Tang Yu suspiciously, and felt more and more that his smile was extremely bad. No man dared to look at her like this since he was a child.
Tang Yu said bluntly: "Well, it doesn't matter if you don't like this name, then our first transaction is that your nickname will be V in the future. As for the remuneration, [-] euros should be enough."
Ten thousand euros and a nickname?
V froze.
Even if it's paying off the debt, it wouldn't be such an exaggeration.
She felt that the man in the suit in front of her must have gone crazy to exchange [-] euros for a nickname.
She really couldn't understand the world of the rich, but she was greatly shocked and at the same time expressed some disdain.
How rich is it?
V unceremoniously refused: "Others are fine, but this one is not."
Tang Yu was also unambiguous, and asked again: "How about adding a time limit to this name, only today?"
what?
[-] euros a day, just to call you a son-in-law?
I'm afraid it's not crazy anymore, I'm afraid it's a severe cyber mental illness.
But Tang Yu didn't even find a single implant all over his body. Where did the cyberpsychopath come from?
"."
V swallowed hard, and it was hard to say the words of refusal.
Tang Yu saw that Mrs. V still didn't agree, so he bewitched again: "Then I will add another condition. This title is only for you and me. What do you think this time?"
In order for V to accept this title back then, Tang Yu spent a lot of thought.
now.
He managed to find an opportunity, and before V made a lot of money, he gently slapped her face with a banknote, which seemed more interesting.
V was so tormented that he didn't know what to do, so he had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay, call it whatever you want, son V is son V."
Seeing that V's clothes were soft, Tang Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then continued: "Miss V, since the operation has been completed, we will not bother Lao Wei anymore. I will take you out for a walk."
Tang Yu turned around and walked towards the door of the prosthetic body clinic, said goodbye to Lao Wei first, then turned around and urged V to follow quickly.
V got up and left the operating chair, thanked Lao Wei, caught up with Tang Yu, and asked a little nervously: "Go out for a walk, what are you doing? If there is nothing else, I will go to pick up the commission later."
The two climbed the steps and came to the street.
"From now on, I will rent you a day, [-] euros, and you are not allowed to make any excuses to leave." Tang Yu looked at V and said lightly, and asked V to drive her Rayfield by the way.
V has been unable to complain, but Tang Yu did not expect Tang Yu to do what he said.
in a blink.
Her debts were immediately reduced by twenty thousand euros.
If this continues, the debt may be paid off in less than half a year.
The circle of her prosthetic eyes turned, summoning that blue beast, Rayfield, to ride in the super coupe of the Sword of the Lake Lady.
The coupe scissor door wings automatically deploy to reveal a luxurious and sophisticated high-tech interior.
Tang Yu sat straight into the co-pilot, and V was in charge of driving the vehicle.
V held the steering wheel with both hands, listened to the roar of the vehicle engine, and turned on the real-time projection, and the images outside the vehicle were restored to the inside of the car one by one.
She took a deep breath, calmed down and asked, "Where are you going?"
Tang Yu replied: "Go to the Heywood Valley area."
V lightly stepped on the accelerator, and the blue beast began to drive on the wide road, attracting many people's attention and taking pictures.
She drives the vehicle, seems to be thinking for a long time, and asks a question.
"Why are you doing this to me"
This question was straightforward, but it was also what she wanted to know the most.
Why does a high-level company get involved with himself again and again.
It is said that Tang Yu did not do it on purpose, and he would not believe it if he was killed.
Tang Yu reminded: "Don't be distracted, if the car is scratched, you may be useless today."
V: "."
Rebecca: "Instant noodle sauce, it's the holidays, do you have time to come out for a drink?"
Instant Noodles: "I can't, I owe a lot of debt and haven't paid it off. The 'Miao Mi Rabbit' funder is on the helm, and the fingers typing on the keyboard are trembling from the smashing. I don't dare to play."
Rebecca: "Instant noodle sauce, it's really hard for you to get an appointment. If you don't come out, let it go. I wanted to take you to shoot. I know someone who knows the company. It belongs to the company, but I won't give you a chance now, huh!"
PS:
Nothing tonight, I'm so busy at the end of the year.
There is also the alliance leader Jiageng who has not returned it, and strives to return it before the year.
I'm afraid I won't be able to rest during the Chinese New Year, and I want to continue to rush.
The book score has been rising, it may be the best month, and I got the boutique badge today.
