Chapter 274: The Introvert's Road to Redemption

Arturo's brilliant operation made Ling Luxian look at him with a higher opinion. It seemed that he was really different from ordinary people in Night City.

"Hey, kid." Ling Luxian raised his chin and said to Arturo, "You have suicidal tendencies, right?"

"Ok?"

Arturo was surprised and looked at Ling Luxian with confusion, not understanding why he said that.

Ling Luxian smiled, pointed to his head, and said, "Don't be nervous, you will always be able to see what some people think after experiencing a lot of things.

To be honest, anyone who can think of robbing a bank is either crazy or wants to die. And you, my friend, you are an introvert, so you obviously can't be a crazy person."

"Why can't I be forced to do this because of the debt I owe?" Arturo asked back.

"Perhaps there is this possibility." Ling Luxian scratched the doodles on the table and said, "But you are definitely not a lunatic, because you do not meet the three elements of McDonald's."

"Coke, hamburgers, and French fries? What you said makes me a little hungry." Alberta patted his "empty" belly.

It’s not that Alberta is heartless. As Arturo’s old lover, she doesn’t care about him and doesn’t believe that Arturo has suicidal tendencies at all.

After all, Arturo has a decent job, well, a "former" decent job. It seems that Arturo's income is not very high, because he still has to pay off the loan of DMS.

Even so, the remaining salary is more than most people in Night City. It's not bad to say that Arturo didn't mention it.

Also, due to the nature of the job, I often come into contact with upper-class people. If I serve them well, tips are inevitable.

As a super dream repairman under DMS, I can't say there are no disadvantages, but I can say that they are very minimal. That is, as an employee of a large company, the work is very busy.

The daily work of a Mewtwo repairman is to repair Mewtwo equipment that is damaged due to power outages. Occasionally, he also has to repair Mewtwo, which is why the Mewtwo made by Arturo is so realistic.

It just so happens that Night City is a hell of a place, you know it too. [The power outage happened again in San Domingo, it was done by those cyber hackers again.] This is a sentence Stanley often mentions.

Arturo has endless work to do, and often a new problem arises not long after the previous one is finished. No wonder those arcade games have not been eliminated in 2077.

Taking all factors into consideration, Arturo's life is a bit tiring but he is leading a comfortable life. How could he have suicidal tendencies?

Ling Luxian looked at Alberta speechlessly. You are almost as fat as a ball, and you are still thinking about eating. Aren't you always thinking about returning to the life of a mercenary? With this figure, it's hard for you to climb the stairs, and you are still a mercenary.

"The three elements of McDonald's that I'm talking about are arson, bed-wetting, and animal cruelty."

Alberta spread her hands and said, "I don't know about the other things, but there's no point in abusing animals."

How fresh! Not to mention Night City, there are probably not many small animals in the whole world. Even so, they are still in the hands of the rich class. Who can afford to abuse animals? It's too late to protect them.

Arturo ignored Alberta's joke and asked Ling Luxian directly, "How did you know that?"

Alberta was stunned when he heard Arturo's indirect admission.

She held Arturo's shoulders tightly with both hands and shook his head back and forth, "Arturo, when did you have this idea? Why didn't you tell me?"

Alberta was so concerned that he almost shook Arturo to death.

"Stop shaking it, it'll mess up your brain. I'm just too tired lately and I was just talking casually," Arturo explained.

"Don't lie to me! Every time you lie, your eyes subconsciously look to the upper right." Alberta shouted.

Arturo sighed helplessly, "Well, I do have some, but I haven't found the knot in my heart yet."

It is usually OK if you know the knot in your heart, which means you can still solve it. But if you don't have the knot in your heart, it will be a bit troublesome, because you can't even find a way to solve it.

Hearing Arturo say this, Alberta suddenly panicked and looked at Ling Luxian expectantly.

Ling Luxian looked at them with interest and said jokingly, "Eighty percent of the troubles in life are caused by lack of money."

"What about the remaining 20 percent?" Alberta asked hurriedly.

Arturo realized something was wrong, but he didn't realize what was wrong, so he didn't say anything.

Ling Lu held the little bear in his arms and said, "The remaining 20% is naturally because we don't have enough money."

Sasha quietly came up to him, pulled the sleeve of his clothes, and whispered: "This joke is not funny."

Ling Luxian noticed it, because everyone was stunned by his words.

"Okay, I was just kidding, haha." Ling Luxian touched the back of his head awkwardly, and then asked Arturo seriously, "Arturo, you just helped Kasyapa untie his knot, didn't you feel very happy?"

"Hmm..." Arturo nodded, "It seems, a little bit."

Since Arturo's problem is not in his life, it must be in the spiritual realm.

Ling Luxian snapped his fingers and said, "That's the problem. Arturo, you want to rely on your super dream technology to serve the public.

However, the top management of DMS is a group of capitalists who want to make money. Not to mention using it to serve the public, they wish their customers would spend every day in a dream and drown in unrealistic fantasies.

To put it bluntly, DMS is doing evil. And you, Arturo. You still have a conscience, and you are unwilling to use your skills to do these things that hurt others. And you are an employee of DMS, so you have to help the evil, and these things make you suffer in your heart, right? "

Arturo's eyes lit up, "Yes, you are right!" He seemed to see a glimmer of hope.

Alberta nodded as if he understood something. "It seems Arturo also told me about these things. I encouraged him to talk to his boss at that time."

"Yes." Arturo smiled bitterly and said, "But he refused."

Ling Luxian continued, "Then I guess you must have some other secrets when you robbed the bank this time, right?"

Ling Luxian narrowed his eyes. From the moment this guy exchanged Mewtwo for the prison inmates, he was playing a big game. In other words, Arturo's plan to rob the bank should have been in his mind a long time ago.

Of course, it was not because he owed DMS 200,000 euros that he was tempted. Otherwise, there would be no need to add another 500,000 euros of debt to himself.

"Yes, I discovered a secret of DMS, a secret that is enough to destroy DMS."
