Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

After hanging up the phone, Luo Qi casually threw the PDA on the table.

Everyone has their own little secret.

But he doesn't like secrets that are deliberately kept secret, especially ones that are likely to lead to disaster.

I hope that finding out your identity will not make David too sad.

Miss Lucy.

Chapter 620 Kushinada Lucina

Downtown, Night City University District.

As the only university in Night City, it is almost a college version of the comprehensive Arasaka Academy.

And it is more like an independent small city than a school.

The campus area of ​​C1, and the lake view park area of ​​C2.

From a long time ago, about before the Fourth Company War, this was the famous green park.

But everything changed after the nuclear explosion that completely changed Night City in 2023.

Most of the buildings in the Civic Center were pushed to the bottom of the sea, and the radioactively contaminated debris was forced to become the cornerstone of land reclamation.

Including the once prosperous Night City University.

Then, at the new address and on the ruins of the past, it was built again with huge sums of money.

C1 is still the campus area, and C2 is still the Lake View Park area.

It's just that there is no longer the large green space and the lake for boating. There is only a pitifully small artificial lake, which has completely become a water spray landscape.

But the scenery is really good.

Luo Qi leaned on the railing, behind him was the plaza with people coming and going, in the distance was the memorial hall of Isadore Island, next to it was the No. [-] Fire Station of Night City and the University Branch of Night City Transportation Company.

Science Laboratory Building, Administration Building, Robinson Auditorium, Performing Arts Hall, Humanities Building, Metro Cafe, Stewart Hospital, Broad Student Co-op, Drug Mart, Lombard's, Modern Clothing, Thompson Hall…

This is indeed a highly independent small city and community.

This includes NCPD as well.

According to the documents issued by the Night City Council and the relevant laws and regulations, the security system in the Night City University is a school of its own, managed by the Night City University Police Department.

In order to cope with the terrorist attacks and gang activities in recent years, the cops here are much better equipped than the cops patrolling the streets.

Of course, the violent terrorist mobile team is not subject to the above restrictions.

However, if students are accidentally injured or even killed because of the suppression of cyber lunatics in the university area, the impact will be very bad.

It's not because this is some kind of academic sanctuary, but because people who can afford to study at an institution of higher learning like Night City University generally have a difficult family background, which is difficult to explain.

Rocky wasn't here to continue his college career.

But simply feel that the scenery here is good.

As long as it is clean in the NCPD database, plus the attire and formal identity can pass the inspections of the security guards at Night City University, and in the end it is not regarded as some kind of weird person with malicious intentions, then the Lake View Park area of ​​C2 is fine. entered.

As for the university area of ​​C1.

Rocky wasn't interested, and didn't want to be.

When he was catching the gang named "Bozos" around the university, he was exhausted.

Their nature can be understood as "youthful version of Voodoo Gang" plus "vigorous version of Tiger Claw Gang"——

It is also a cult belief and a drug addict. It is hard not to worry about the health of these college students.

Well, Rocky had to admit, he had long since lost faith in some of them.

Every time in any pornography, gambling and drug scene, a few bastards from the University of Night City can be caught. At most, they will be verbally criticized and educated or detained, and finally wait to be released or handed over to the University City police.

NCPD also doesn't like to deal with these lawless little guys.

Anyway, after leaving high school, Night City is not so amiable.

Luo Qi didn't have much patience, especially he didn't like to waste on such insignificant things. He didn't come here to investigate the security situation, but simply liked the scenery here.

Next to it is Coronado Bay, facing Arasaka Beach and Little Chinatown across the sea.

Behind is the city center and the tall buildings of the company square, shining in the sun.

Luo Qi likes to sit in the floating car with Suzi, and then the two of them look at the city together in the sky in a daze.

She doesn't like diving, doesn't like watching Chaomeng, doesn't like reporting to her superiors, and doesn't like staying in cyberspace.

For her, the boundless cyberspace is like a cage with no end in sight, where she can't find anything that can be called "home". Only in the living reality can she feel at ease. where.

Suzi has told Luo Qi several times.

She wanted to downgrade her prosthetic body and return it to the original organic tissue.

In fact, she did, both in the original Experimental Reaction Tuner, and later in Cyan Wistan, with newer versions.

It is not a flagship model with more powerful functions, but an early design that is simpler in principle, and a special model manufactured by using the latest ideas.

In the hands of a child, the peerless sword is not even as good as a firestick.

But the real master can use the branch as a sword to cut everything.

The ESRP program of military technology has indeed had a deep impact on her, especially after the battle with the new "masterpiece" and the victory.

Continuing to pursue the power of prosthesis without limit will make you lose yourself.

That is neither "cultivation of the body" nor "cultivation of the mind". Instead, it is the loss of self and true self in the process of mechanization, in exchange for strange and cold power.

It's like making a deal with the devil.

Luo Qi wanted to say that this was indeed the case, but he was not that exaggerated.

However, Suzi's change of thinking means that she has begun to free her thinking from the shackles of the past, and put it in the current life and expectations for the future. This is what makes her happy.

Eyes, smiles, words...

Bit by bit of vividness and liveliness let Luo Qi know that everything he does is worthwhile.

She is returning from the brink of falling into the abyss to the realm of human beings.

"Tattoo..."

Just when Luo Qi was in a daze, recalling the earliest memories of their relationship, there was an obvious sound of footsteps behind him.

It's not heading towards other places, nor is it simply passing by, but coming straight to itself.

Luo Qi was on the edge of the fence, watching the sea quietly.

"Orbital Air Space Center, launch site to space, nice, isn't it?"

He looked up.

Under the blue sky in the distance, a space shuttle is slowly leaving the launch pad, and the blue sky is like its backdrop.

The vertical movement that vibrates the air and stirs the flowing clouds is like the waves of the sea, which can make people watch quietly, and then generate the tranquility from the depths of the soul.

Humans are such wonderful creatures.

Watching something busy there, you will fall into silence and contemplation instead.

"What did you call me to do?"

The young girl behind her did not approach, but folded her arms and leaned against the wall of the clock tower that cast a shadow on the area where Luo Qi was.

Even in the daytime, the light-polluted hair is quietly shining.

It's Lucy.

"I checked your background these days, and to be honest, it's a bit beyond my expectation."

Luo Qi didn't learn from those riddlers, because he hated riddlers the most.

"..."

Lucy was choked by this straight-to-the-point confession. She was a little nervous and didn't understand what Luo Qi wanted to do.

If he just wanted to kill her to silence her, or arrest her and exchange her for something, there's no need to wait until now to start in such a crowded place.

Areas with good law and order always give people a feeling of letting down their vigilance, and Lucy is no exception.

"You should have guessed it too. I am only interested in your identity and have no needs. Now that I understand it, you can rest assured."

Luo Qi kept that action unchanged, just leaving his back to Lucy so generously, not caring about the possibility of a sneak attack at all.

"But there are some things I still hope you can tell me yourself."

"So you don't intend to be my enemy?"

Lucy didn't relax.

"An enemy of you? I'm sorry, but you may think too highly of yourself."

Luo Qi smiled, and then patted the fence next to it, "Why don't you take a look together? Your favorite universe."

As soon as these words came out, Lucy's pupils shrank instantly.

She knew that with Luo Qi's energy, she could find out a lot of things, but she never expected that there would be so many.

"Don't worry, David didn't tell me, and no one else knows. In other words, if you kill me here, you can continue to live in this city with peace of mind."

Luo Qi finally turned around, leaned against the fence, and said with a smile that made Lucy very disturbed.

"Are you right? Kushinada Lucyna?"

Trembling.

Lucy felt fear in this man again.

I spent countless time and energy, traveled to countless cities, deceived and killed countless people, just to set up countless smoke bombs and obstacles for the direction and trace of my departure.

But in front of him, this kind of hiding seems to have nothing to hide.

Lucy wanted to run, to fight, but her shoulders and legs felt weak.

"Don't struggle, your offensive defenses and ICE have been dismantled, the shortcoming of electronic brainization is here, as long as I am willing, your brain will now become a salt and pepper squid."

Luo Qi's amiable and harmless sunny smile made her shudder like a god of death threatening her life.

"The residence and safe house have been locked, your account has also been frozen, and you can try to escape to see if your prosthetic body still listens to you, and will send me your real-time location to the municipal network .”

When exactly...?

Lucy's lips became a little pale, and the cold sweat could no longer flow out. It was obvious that there was unrestricted sunlight a few meters away, but she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

It's over, it's over.

Her legs went limp, and she slumped on the ground, and the hand that wanted to lift the monomolecular line became as soft as dough.

Rocky did nothing, just leaned there, more terrifying than any villain.

The wind blows between them, bringing a little smell of the sea.

The aviation plane has passed through the clouds and disappeared completely. In the universe thousands of miles away, there is a planet that Lucy wants to escape to.

"Oh, what I just said was just teasing you."

Just when Lucy slowly closed her eyes, determined to fight to the death, Luo Qi suddenly grinned and laughed loudly.

An expression of astonishment mixed with incomprehension appeared on her face, and the dull eyes seemed to be out of control.

The situation had changed so quickly that her emotions and logic hadn't caught up.

"I didn't do anything. You are actually fine at all, but you frightened yourself."

Luo Qi spread his hands, "If you don't believe me, stand up and try it now, maybe you can do a few backflips."

A few minutes later, Lucy, who recovered from the stress response of fear, was really exhausted and paralyzed.

Sitting weakly on the ground, he was no longer the same as before.

Her electronic brain hadn't been hacked, her prosthetic body hadn't been poisoned, her account was fine, her place of residence was even safer, and no one in Night City cared about her at all.

The wind is still the same wind, and the sea is still the same sea.

The new launch vehicle is pushed onto the launch pad, and everything is not much different from a few minutes ago.

The only difference is her state of mind.
