Cyber psychosis is my girlfriend

Page 835

Lucy stood in front of David and took off her jacket, "Really?"

It's really strange, even though I was wearing so much just now, why can't I not help but want to avert my eyes when I put on my coat and then take it off?

David felt a little strange.

No, this person is a bit strange.

Every time the emotions are finally drawn to other places, she will be pulled back into the atmosphere that makes people blush and heartbeat.

It really is the bad woman that mother said!

"Since watching "The Marginal Man", dare to install such a dangerous thing as Sean Westin?"

Lucy walked up to him and tucked the jacket back into his arms.

"I don't know, but I think I'm different from them."

Feeling the changes in his body, David closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he had become firm.

"The prosthetic doctor has already said, if you don't want to be overwhelmed, just obediently proceed step by step. I don't want to wipe the ass of a cyber lunatic."

Lucy didn't climb up the window sill again, but sat side by side with David on the sofa, with her legs crossed, smoking a cigarette one after another.

"Don't worry, I won't."

David had an inexplicable confidence in himself.

Especially after meeting that guy.

"Better so."

Lucy just responded lightly, and then smoked silently by herself.

The room was very quiet, so quiet that David was a little uncomfortable.

He couldn't help looking around, looking around the room, and finally landed on a poster with an obvious style that didn't fit in with the surroundings.

"Your new life awaits (your new life is waiting for you)..."

David looked at the very old-fashioned pictorial and the familiar big-character slogan, and couldn't help but read it out.

Maybe it's because of the time, the poster has faded a little, and there is serious wear and tear along the direction of the creases, but it can still be clearly distinguished from the current ancient style of painting.

In the vast universe, the rocket rising from the earth runs through the whole frame, and the smiling people in spacesuits stretch out their fingers and point to the distance, as if they are on the moon, where their wonderful new life is.

David is not interested in this set of advertisements at all.

"Hey, what an old poster..."

"You don't like it?"

Lucy's voice dropped suddenly and sounded unhappy.

"Ah, no no, I'm just a little emotional."

David wanted to wave, but there was no hand to wave.

"It's always advertised as a glamorous paradise, just like the Crystal Palace, and I feel very uncomfortable..."

As he said that, he was also a little depressed.

"Actually, everyone knows that there is no real paradise in this world. Isn't Night City advertised like this? What City of Dreams... the more glamorous something is, the more dirty it may be hidden behind it things..."

"It's more like a dark hell than a glamorous paradise."

Speaking of this, David felt a little speechless.

Isn't it the same in the city where he and his mother live?

"You seem to know a lot."

Lucy looked at him, her tone was no longer as agile as before, she just smoked silently, the fire burning rapidly.

"The lessons Arasaka Academy taught me will never be reflected in advertisements."

David moved his hips and sighed.

The two sat side by side, speechless for a while.

"As expected of a dude who can afford to go to college."

Lucy seemed to recall some very bad memories.

"certainly not."

David pouted, wanting to drink some more beer, but the glass was already empty.

"Isn't it? Being able to study at Arasaka Academy is enough to prove that you are a young master."

Lucy's tone became strange as if there had been a pathetically thick barrier between them.

"certainly not!"

David yelled through gritted teeth.

"I don't have a father, and my family has no money, so I shouldn't be studying at Arasaka Academy."

God knows how much courage it took him to say that.

All these pains in the past were borne by his mother alone, promising him a bright future.

but now.

My mother was lying in the hospital, and she was still being bullied in college. When the whole family was in trouble, it was almost instantly torn apart.

If it wasn't for Luo Qi, he still doesn't know what to do now.

"Click."

Lucy unknowingly changed another cigarette, then picked up the bottle and filled the glass in front of David.

She just looked at David quietly, listening to him tell about this unknown journey.

"But mum was so desperate and worked so hard to get me into that academy, but I knew early on that I would never fit in with them."

Thinking of everything he had taken for granted in the past, David felt that his emotions were a little out of control.

Why on earth did I have to struggle with my mother under that condition for so long?

For a way out that never seemed possible?

Arasaka promised to give them employment, but the upper class has always been the domain of elites and aristocratic families. Poor people like them will never be able to gain real status and respect.

"Cuckoo...cough cough cough——!!"

After taking a few sips of beer, David was choked and coughed again.

But in his heart, there is no pain, only joy.

"I have never felt so relaxed. After leaving the academy, I don't want my mother to work so hard."

After David came here, he leaned his back on the sofa for the first time and looked at the ceiling.

But all he saw was the world upside down, and Lucy upside down.

she's so close...

"Then why have you persisted in the academy for so long?"

Hearing what David said in his heart, Lucy's attitude has undergone some subtle changes.

"No way, I have to go to college to work in Arasaka Company and climb up the pyramid of the corporate world."

David shook his head, "At least that's my mother's wish or dream...that's why."

He couldn't help letting the memories of his time at the academy run wild.

Gritting their teeth and persisting in their studies, and their outstanding grades, won't they get a little bit of respect and understanding from them?

"But that's someone else's dream."

Lucy suddenly brought her head closer and said in a questioning tone.

"other people?"

David didn't understand what she was saying.

"You and your mother are two different people, why do you want to live to fulfill her wish?"

Lucy didn't understand the connection here.

In her world...

It seems unreasonable to be able to work hard for others and fulfill their dreams.

"Is this wrong?"

David was a little confused and a little shaken.

This was the first time he thought about such a question.

I don't have a father, and my mother raised me single-handedly. In order for him to be able to leave this low-level life, it can be said that I have paid almost everything.

He knew very well that if he could find a way out, he could escape this fragile life that could be shattered at any time.

Reading is not difficult for him, but is it really what he wants to work for Arasaka Company?

In Night City, is there really a way out?

Mom told him that the way out of Night City was to stand at the top of the corporation.

The cyberpunks told him that the way out of Night City was to fight his own way.

The wanderer told him that the way out of Night City was to leave Night City.

But in the whole world, where is not another Night City?

【What you have shown today is enough to make me trust you. This is a help to a filial child. You are welcome...】

[I recognize your talent, and I recognize your character...]

【Go ahead, boy, I will wait for you in the distance...】

What Luo Qi said just now came like a tide and echoed in his mind for a long time.

He has read the stories of many people.

But only Luo Qi gave him a feeling of "really alive".

It's as if he doesn't belong in the city.

Night City is a city full of dreams and illusions, where people are intoxicated, lost, and lost themselves.

This is a paradise for the powerful and a paradise for capital, but it is not a place for ordinary people to live and work in peace.

But these incomprehensible things to David, just like they can't get close, can't invade Luo Qi's body at all.

When standing with him, it seems that even the tone of the air has changed.

"Hey, are you listening to me?"

Lucy saw that David suddenly started to lose his mind, and then raised his head slightly, looking at the air in front of him in a daze, feeling a little unhappy.

"Ah, yes, sorry..."

David suddenly came to his senses and apologized to her, "Where did you just say?"

"Well."

Lucy looked at him and repeated.

"Your own dream should not belong to anyone else."

"Dream?"

David repeated the unfamiliar vocabulary again.

In Night City, it seems that everyone has a dream, but it seems that everyone is living in a daze as if they have lost their dreams.

Is this hell?Or heaven?

The same question can get countless different answers from countless people.

David asked himself, he didn't know, but another vague outline appeared in the depths of his heart.

"What is your aspiration?"
