Chapter 67
Late night, city, waves, neon lights, breeze.

It constitutes a night scene, exuding a quiet atmosphere.

The two figures from the back beside the seawall are like the people in the painting, speechless and silent.

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 the pocket of the sweater and took out a pack of brown wallets. After opening it, she gently picked up a cigarette with two familiar fingers.

Picking up the cigarette, he handed the brown wallet to Tang Yu.

"Do you smoke?"

Tang Yu refused.

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

"Huh?"

"Now there are still high-level executives in the company who don't smoke?"

Tang Yu thought to himself, he smoked too much in his previous life.

Lucy lit a cigarette by herself, puffed and said, "Now we're clear."

Tang Yu leaned against the railing, the sea breeze brushed over the tip of his nose, carrying a faint smell of burnt smoke.

"Well, it's clear."

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

Lucy hung her fingers slightly together, holding the cigarette lightly, letting the sea breeze blow the cigarette butt, taking away a little bit of spark.

"Of course I didn't go."

"It was brought to the attention of security last time."

"At least for a while."

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

If it's just to make money, there's no need to take such a big risk, and employees from major companies can take turns to come, anyway, they don't have a good thing.

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

"Your approach is very dangerous. This is not a wise choice. There are many ways to make money."

Lucy also turned her head sideways, staring 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 who take the train are low-level employees of Arasaka, if they attract attention, they may still be targeted."

Lucy withdrew her gaze, pinched the cigarette between her fingers, sucked lightly, and flicked the ash.

"As expected of a high-level executive who works in the company, he knows a lot."

Tang Yu obviously felt that the silver-haired girl's expression had cooled down, and the aura filled her eyes again, as if talking about the word "Arasaka" touched her inverse scales.

"Young, no implant modification."

"Concurrently serving as a senior executive of both departments is enough to prove your strength."

"Or your luck."

Tang Yu said frankly helplessly: "Perhaps as you said, I am just luckier than others. In this bastard city, if I am not lucky, I may not even see the sun tomorrow."

As if touched by Tang Yu's words, Lucy exhaled a little white smoke, as if 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 will come first, accident or luck."

When she said this, there seemed to be some melancholy in her indifferent tone.

Tang Yu felt that Lucy's words were more like speaking to herself.

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

"Speaking of which, how did you come to Night City in the first place? Arasaka has a lot of influence here, maybe you should consider other places."

"Other places?" Lucy's eyes were deep, staring straight ahead.

"In my opinion, there is hell everywhere."

"At least coming to Night City is free."

"The homeless, the gangsters, the homeless, the city is big enough to hold all the secrets."

Tang Yu recognized the inclusiveness of Night City.

People of any status can come to Night City to take a chance.

It may still be in the stinking ditch tonight, but tomorrow it may stand at the top of the city and enjoy another luxury.

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

"Arasaka, military technology, biotechnology, these big companies monopolize the entire city and even the entire world."

"Everyone wants to live and catch their breath, but they don't get half-time."

A trace of surprise flashed in Lucy's pupils, as if she didn't expect Tang Yu, who is a senior executive of the company, to say this, so she joked with a smile.

"So that's one of the joys of being at the top of a company?"

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

"And then there's the lament that the world sucks."

Tang Yu looked a little helpless.

He knew that the silver-haired girl in front of him had been very wary and distrustful of him from beginning to end.

At least the identity of the senior management of the Arasaka company has become the insurmountable moat between Tang Yu and others.

Tang Yu never blames anyone, even himself, he hates company dogs extremely, so he can only sigh silently and helplessly in his heart.

"Oh, the reborn me, I really don't want to be a company dog."

Seeing that Tang Yu was silent and did not respond, Lucy turned around, facing the city, with her back to the sea.

A few neon advertising light curtains shot straight into the sky above Night City.

"Looking at Night City from here is like a cage of twinkling lights."

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

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

As she said that, her gaze slowly moved upwards, looking towards the deep space and sky of the universe.

Pause for a moment.

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

"Night running is a good choice."

"Well, it feels good to drive the shopping cart."

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

"Isn't it?"

Tang Yu was speechless.

This trip tonight was really just taking off my pants and farting, it was superfluous.

A matter that can be resolved with a phone call abruptly staged a show of speed and passion.

Tang Yu didn't mean to blame her, after all, it was an extremely accidental thing in itself.

Lucy's kindness, he appreciated.

she asked again.

"Are you still running tomorrow?"

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

Lucy snuffed out the cigarette butt in her hand, looked at Tang Yu and said, "Well, the pressure of the two ministers is really great."

"Running on the seawall is pretty good, but you haven't received the cyber implant transformation yet. The place is too secluded, and you will inevitably encounter dangers like today."

"I suggest you bring two Arasaka personal bodyguards, at least those scavengers who don't have eyes, don't dare to think of you again."

"The future emperor of Night City, Arasaka's career star, made headlines, which is not good."

Tang Yu's face was weird, and he felt that there was something in Lucy's words, as if there was something wrong that was intentionally hidden.

"And you, also run every day and night?"

Lucy pulled up the hood of the sweater, turned and walked to the other side, waving at Tang Yu behind him.

"Run too slowly, but you will be overtaken by danger."

"I'm free tomorrow night."

"Let's meet here."

Done.

Only a back view was left for Tang Yu, and it gradually went away.

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

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