Chapter 31 This Is Art!

Lucy next to her didn't dare to say a word.There were two mentally ill people standing next to him, communicating about their condition.Which bar will host members of the Terrorist Mobile Team? Who in the entire Night City doesn't know that every member of the Terrorist Mobile Team is a legal cyberpsychopath, and if they kill them, it will be in vain.At this time, Melissa suddenly set her sights on Lucy.He touched his chin and thought for a while. The depth and complexity of his eyes were unimaginable.After a moment, Melissa said something shocking."Well, your little girlfriend is really pretty. It wouldn't be impossible if we were together."Lucy froze on the spot, a little at a loss, and her face instantly turned red.Next to him, Arthur frowned, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and looked at Melissa with serious eyes."I've told you before that bisexuality is a disease that needs to be treated! Didn't your doctor prescribe medicine for you?"Melissa rolled her eyes and said, "I've told you before, bisexuality is not a disease. You have to accept me with an open and tolerant attitude. What's more, the only man I love is you. So you should be the beneficiary, right? Why do you object?"Arthur was stunned when he heard this, then scratched the back of his head, seeming to be thinking seriously about how to refute Melissa's words.After thinking for a while, Arthur's eyes gradually brightened, and he said to Melissa sincerely: "It makes sense, you are right, I really have no reason to oppose you, it was just It's a habit, please keep up your efforts and let me enjoy a different life!"Lucy next to her couldn't help it anymore and punched Arthur on the back of the head with her fist, and then complained: "What on earth are you talking about? Bastard! Even if you do this in Night City, it's unacceptable It's quite explosive! Give me some seriousness, besides, is the current scene suitable for flirting? Don't you think it's bloody at all?"The battle not far away has come to an end. Ordinary members of the Voodoo Gang have absolutely no power to fight back against the members of the Terrorist Mobile Team.As for the powerful hackers in the Voodoo Gang, they didn't dare to take action at all.After all, this is not a gang war, but the NCPD's Terrorist Mobile Team.If the members of the Terrorist Mobile Team are really killed, it will most likely lead to the arrival of more Terrorist Mobile Teams, and then an ordinary fight will become It will turn into a battle between gangs and terrorist mobile units.Whether the fight can be won is another matter. The point is that killing too many NCPD members will cause Night City to lose face.In order to protect their own face, Night City is likely to ask some big companies to take action. If that happens, the Voodoo Gang will not have to live.Melissa waved to the team members in the distance and made a tactical gesture, and then she had time to look at Lucy."Don't you think this is an artistic performance?""When the bullet hits the human body, when the blade cuts through the enemy's body, that feeling of life passing by is the real art. I get really high every time I think about it."After listening to Melissa's words, Arthur immediately understood that the other party's illness had not been cured, but had become more serious. Is this inappropriate Dior behavior?The quacks in Night City deserve to die for making me so passive now. If you cure her, won't she stop pestering me?I have to find time to go to the mental hospital in Night City and take out all the quack doctors and kill them.Lucy next to her felt her scalp tingle when she heard the scream, and she was even more frightened than before.This is indeed a cyberpsychosis, good guy, look, do you listen to what a human would say?Lucy's look of being unable to accept it made Melissa very hurt. After all, it's not enough just to satisfy people on the outside. True love also requires having the same thing on the inside.Then Melissa looked at Arthur with a, you know me expression."Arthur, you used to take me to this kind of show the most, right?"It was because I was crazy before that I would go to see this kind of show. Now I go to the Ritz Bar to watch Mewtwo. Isn't it good?The corner of Arthur's mouth twitched, and then he nodded silently and said: "Well, it is indeed very artistic, but it is not very ornamental. After you go back, you have to train these boys well, let them cool down, and be more precise. "Melissa jumped up and down with joy, as if she were a little girl, which attracted Arthur's side glances.Arthur almost fell into her trap because the scene was just like it was more than ten years ago.Fortunately, Arthur is now a time traveler, Arthur, so he escaped. Arthur repeatedly told himself in his heart that this was a crazy person, and he must not have any feelings for this crazy person."Sir, everything has been taken care of. Do you want to go back with us or will this gentleman take you back later?"At this moment, a member of the Terrorist Mobile Team, covered in blood, walked over with two mantis knives in his hand, and asked Melissa what was going to happen next.Melissa frowned, as if she was a little unhappy. She looked at Arthur and then at the floating car in the sky, and then said: "Remember to make an appointment with me earlier. If I wait too long, If you are anxious, I will go directly to your home to find you."After saying that, Melissa followed the member of the Terrorist Mobile Team and headed towards the floating car that had landed on the ground.Arthur wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Good guy, these crazy women are really not easy to mess with.At this moment, a phone call came in instantly."Arthur, you are the stinky shit in Night City Cyberpunk! Are you actually in a relationship with that lunatic from the NCPD Terrorist Mobile Team?"Arthur had just connected and a roar came out of his mind, his words full of contempt and surprise.Arthur smiled and said casually: "Maman, look at what you said, this matter is like the vegetables in Night City, they are never fresh. How dare you say that you have nothing to do with the members of the NCPD? Relationship?"The person on the other side fell silent immediately, then came down and said, "Tell me, what do you really want?"Arthur shrugged, then turned around and pushed open the door of his factory. Looking around, he found that everything inside had become a garbage dump."First point, I'm going to open a factory here in Taipingzhou next. Find some people for me, people who have no criminal records and are more honest.""Are you serious?""Nonsense, could it be that I climbed all the way out of hell just to joke with you?""There's no problem with that!""The second point is to help me find some people to come and clean it up. This factory is full of garbage. Could it be that you bastard threw it in there? I think I saw your aunt's towel in it!""I promise that the next time we meet, I will definitely tear your bastard's mouth apart! Go on!""The third point is that your people are absolutely not allowed to come to harass my company. If you dare to come over to collect protection money, I will go to your place to collect protection money!""anything else?""The other thing is to ask that guy from Placid to chop three kilograms of chicken for me. I want fresher free-range chicken, and I'll take it back and make soup.""..."

Chapter 32 You Don'T Want Arasaka To Know Either, Right?

"Arthur, you're the number one troublemaker in Night City... Remember this, if you do something again next time, I'll have the hood off my head!"Maman hung up the phone angrily, but she accepted Arthur's proposal and agreed.In fact, it is not a big conflict in itself, it is just blowing up a server, and that was more than ten years ago.We are all mature Night City people, and we should give in when it is time to give in. Maman doesn't want the NCPD people to sweep his place every day. She is really not sure how far this madman Arthur has progressed with that woman.After all, it is not incomprehensible that women occasionally do some irrational and crazy things for their lovers.Arthur smoked silently. He really couldn't understand what Maman was thinking. If he was a troublemaker, who was she?When did these people in Night City degrade the traditional art of spitting out fragrance to this point?Is this considered an improvement for Night City?It's been a long time since I've lived, and Night City is still making progress!"Is everything settled?"Lucy stood next to her, leaning against the wall in an elegant posture, holding a lady's cigarette in her hand, her face unusually calm.Arthur nodded and took a look at the situation in the factory, then sighed: "The Voodoo Gang has got it done. There is still a lack of equipment in the factory. I have to talk to those stupid guys from the Animal Gang later. Let's talk.""It's not easy to start a business. All you earn is hard-earned money!"The corner of Lucy's mouth twitched when she heard that. It's still a hard-earned money, shouldn't it be a little harder in the early stage?When you start selling those chips, all you make is dirty money, and every transaction is dirty money, and none of it is clean."Now that the matter is settled, I'll leave first. As for the program, I suggest you find someone else. If I cooperate with you again, I will be a dog!!!"Lucy had really had enough, boy, today was more thrilling than all the time she had spent in Night City combined.This is both the Voodoo Gang and the Terrorist Mobile Team. We have to chat with those reckless people from the Animal Gang later, which is simply the most ridiculous thing in the world.Moreover, Arthur himself is a psychopath. Every time he does things unexpectedly, Lucy suspects that his illness is not cured at all.Lucy didn't know what kind of person this kind of person was suitable for, but Lucy knew that Arthur was definitely not suitable to be a company dog, let alone cyberpunk. He was more suitable to be locked up in a mental hospital.At this moment, a gust of wind blew over from outside, blowing Lucy's hair.Arthur raised his eyebrows and immediately noticed what was hidden under Lucy's hair. There was a brain-computer interface embedded in the back of her head, and then an evil smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth."Lucy, you don't want Arasaka to know about your stay in Night City, right?"Lucy's face suddenly changed after hearing this, she took a few steps back and pulled out the single molecular wire on her wrist, making a defensive posture."How did you know?!!"Lucy thought she hid it well. Although she was a little afraid of yellow spots, this could be explained by other reasons. There were many people in Night City who were afraid of Arasaka, but he was not the only one.Besides, she didn't have much contact with Arthur, and today was only the second time they met.Even the other members of Mann's team, who had been working with her for so long, didn't recognize his identity. How Arthur found out was very important.Because although Arasaka's people would not take the initiative to pursue her, Arasaka would not be unable to move if someone reported her.Arthur said calmly: "If I read correctly just now, the brain-computer interface behind you should be Arasaka's internal product. Let me think about it, it's right. It's the model used by those graphics card girls in Arasaka. So you Was your previous job boiling brains?"Lucy was stunned for a moment when she heard the name "Video Card Girl". Apparently she didn't know what "Video Card Girl" meant.But Lucy understood the reason Arthur said. It was the brain-computer interface behind her that caused the trouble."How do you recognize...""You don't think that just anyone can study cyberpsychosis and replace inhibitors with inhibitors, right? I have been a cyberpunk for so many years and have dissected so many people, so I became It makes sense to hire a mechanical expert, right?"Arthur shrugged, not caring at all, even though the words "human anatomy" and "mechanical expert" didn't sound like the same thing at all.But in Night City in 2076, many human bodies have been dissected, so the assumption of becoming a mechanical expert is feasible.Lucy fell silent, but she did not put down the single molecule wire in her hand. It was obvious that she was still on guard.Arthur didn't speak, just waiting quietly for Lucy's reply. Lucy quickly weighed the strength gap between herself and Arthur in her mind, as well as the possibility of Arthur going to discuss his affairs with Arasaka.After a while, Lucy's right hand released the single molecule line and was immediately retracted."Sooner or later I will kill you! Tell me, what do you want to do?"Arthur touched his chin and looked at the ceiling of the factory, thinking carefully for a moment, and then looked Lucy up and down for a while.Lucy's face turned red instantly, and then she took a step forward and lowered her head as if she had made up her mind.Of course, what is happening in this neon-flavored scene should also be a neon-flavored plot.But unfortunately, Arthur is not a neon man, so there is no plan for such a plot to happen."I heard that someone just said that she would cooperate with me again. She is a puppy. How did the puppy bark? Sorry, sorry, there has been no such creature like a dog in Night City for too long. I was temporarily I even forgot how to bark a dog."I'm ready to take off my skirt. You tell me this?Lucy almost choked to death due to Arthur. After a while, she raised her head and silently lit a cigarette for herself.I took a deep drag on the cigarette and then exhaled it. There was no expression on my face, and I was extremely indifferent, as if I had once again returned to the state where I had nothing to do with the world.This slight sense of alienation is not something that everyone can express.Only those who really want to escape from the world can express this feeling.It's a pity that escaping has no effect. Someone once said that the best way to overcome fear is to face it, but unfortunately, not everyone has such an awareness."Woof woof woof!"Originally, Arthur was looking forward to hearing Lucy's imitation of a puppy, but when he actually heard it, Arthur couldn't help but suck his teeth."You don't have any emotion at all by what you say. It's really all my expectations for nothing.""Hey, hey, hey, I'm so sorry, I didn't satisfy your bad taste, Lord Arthur.""It's really bad for you to talk like this!""No matter how evil you are, Lord Arthur, you are not very evil by threatening a young girl, right?"

Chapter 33 Preside Over Justice In Night City!

Arthur felt as if he had completely pissed Lucy off.But it doesn't matter, Night City has always been this environment anyway, do whatever you want."By the way, what happened to that graphics girl you just mentioned?"Lucy seemed to have adjusted her emotions and began to lighten the atmosphere.She had to calm down. Now she had the leverage in Arthur's hands. Who knew if he would do something neon-flavored next time?She is someone who escaped from the inside of absurdity, so she knows the neon smell thing very well.Moreover, she has a lot of interest in this kind of thing that seems to have the same fate as herself.Arthur looked up and looked into the distance, and found that some people from the Voodoo Gang had begun to clean up the corpses and garbage outside.There were also many people from the Voodoo Gang who simply ignored Arthur and others and entered the factory and began to clean up the factory.Those bags containing unknown contents."Well, to put it simply, it is an accessory for computers.A long time ago, people were keen on a kind of virtual currency.This kind of currency requires the use of computing power to obtain.This method of obtaining currency is called mining, and graphics cards are used People at that time were called graphics girls.""It is indeed an old antique. It is possible to tell such a long story clearly."Lucy stood nearby and complained feebly. Originally, she wanted to refer to how others made it, but she didn't expect that it turned out to be a computer accessory.At this moment, Arthur's eyes lit up again."The old captain's ship is ready to sail. Are you ready, sailor?""AYEAYECAPTAIN! (Yes, Captain!)""Huh? Why do I feel like I've heard this answer somewhere? Let me think about it. It was probably a cartoon a long time ago. It seems to be about a little yellow sponge that happened under the deep sea.""Have you seen all this? How about the old captain leaving you some resources?""Screw you, where can I find such resources for you? Let's get down to business first. There is a job that needs you to do. Do you know Dakota?"Arthur touched his chin, thought for a moment and then said: "I remember it seems to be the middleman on the bad land who only breathes pure oxygen. This old woman is old this year? Could it be that you want to invite me to join you and me?" This old woman's wedding, right?"After the old captain heard this, he was completely speechless."I think you want me to stick a grenade in your ass. Let's get down to business first without interrupting. There is a team of wanderers approaching Night City as fast as lightning, but they may need a little help.""Because this team of wanderers seemed to have snatched the ashes of Military Technology's mother, and the Military Technology people were chasing them, so they asked Dakota for help, and she transferred the order to me.""Night City will not reject anyone, so we may need someone to administer justice. See the attachment for details."Soon the old captain hung up the phone. Arthur opened the attachment and took a look. Sure enough, it was exactly the same as what he remembered. The team that was rushing towards Night City was Adecado.In fact, there is not much difference between wanderers and herdsmen.Their birth stemmed from an economic crisis that spread across the world. Due to the economic crisis, many people lost their jobs and houses.So a group of people began to go from one city to another to find a living.But it is said that this is a global economic crisis. Where are the jobs provided to outsiders? People in our own cities are not working yet.And when there are more people going from one city to another, some people will have bad thoughts, what kind of job can they do? Can you make money from robbing while working?So in order to resist these dangers, some people gathered together to defend their reputation as working emperors to the death.A few wanderers gather together to form a family, dozens or hundreds of wanderers gather together to form a family, and dozens of families gather together to form a state.Adecado is one of the seven oldest states.Although it sounds very fierce, it is like giving those corporate dogs a taste of the iron fist of the proletariat.But in fact, the Rangers family is very scattered. To say that they are a ball of sand is to flatter them. In fact, they just share the same name.Even if they meet on the roadside, they may not say hello, and there are no specific orders from the family or the state for them to execute.The reason why they are not much different from herdsmen is that most of the wanderer team works odd jobs or does some smuggling work.When the city is gone, they will move from this city to another, just like shepherding sheep."It seems that this place needs to be cleaned up for a while. I have a task to do about the wanderers here. Do you want to go back to Mann directly to help me modify the program or come with me? Go and maintain justice in Night City. ?"Arthur extended his olive branch to Lucy next to him, and Lucy immediately rolled her eyes.There is justice in Night City. This is simply the biggest joke in the world."I won't go. I'll help you keep an eye on the factory here. I'll give you a message after they finish cleaning it, so you can order equipment."Arthur shrugged, not feeling anything surprising. Just as he was about to leave, he turned to look at Lucy and said, "By the way, that stupid guy will come over to deliver the chicken later. Remember to deliver it to me." Go to my house, and ah, you can't steal food for me!!!"After saying that, Arthur got on directly. The Sword in the Stone that Lucy had just stolen had holes everywhere on the outside from guns and ammunition, but it didn't matter. It still ran without wheels, not to mention it was just an irrelevant car. Just an important hole.Night City's products are solid!Stepping on the accelerator, the Sword in the Stone slowly left, and Taipingzhou headed straight towards the bad land.Lucy dialed Mann's phone at this time: "Mann, yes, it's me.I need Arthur's complete information, preferably as detailed as what kind of underwear he liked to wear when he was a child! What? He's 40 How can I possibly like him at this age? What's more, he's still a cyberpsycho! Yes, yes, I admit he's handsome, but he's..."On the other side, after more than an hour's drive, Arthur finally reached the bad land directly from Taipingzhou.The engine of The Sword in the Stone was almost destroyed by Arthur.After arriving at the designated place, Arthur jumped out of the car and finally took out Lucy's cigarettes from his pocket and stuffed one for himself."Well, that's what it smells like!"The surrounding area was desolate, with low bushes everywhere.Pieces of wind and sand were blown by the strong wind, rolled up into the air, and blended into the air.It made people feel like coughing after taking a breath.This is not a big deal, because radiation plays a role in evil.It is everywhere on earth.

Chapter 34 Battle!

There is still a stench in the air that cannot be dissipated at all. Even the strong wind only brings more stinky air.In fact, Night City is not incapable of controlling this area. It is already 2076, and it is not too easy to control this radiation.But again, Taipingzhou and Badland do not belong to Night City.If you have the money, why not go to the Ritz Bar and watch Mewtwo? Why don't fast birds come to a place where they don't poop?Oh, by the way, there are no birds in Night City. Because of the Bird Extermination Act, the entire Night City is actually a place where birds don't poop."This is Arthur, my dear wanderer friends, I have arrived at the scheduled location, please report your arrival time!"Arthur turned the radio in his hand to a specific channel and started calling.To be honest, Arthur didn't want to use something that was older than his grandfather.But the way of communication between wanderers is actually this thing.No way, you can't use the thing in your head to make calls everywhere. Even if you want to make a call, there is no signal.So the homeless people actually use radio more among themselves."This is Saul from Adecado, tell me your password.""I'm not a cyberpsycho!""...The password is correct, bang bang bang! Zhuo, damn! The address has been sent to you, as soon as possible if you can, otherwise you may have to go to hell to get the reward!"Arthur looked at the walkie-talkie in his hand and scratched the back of his head. If he heard correctly, there seemed to be several gunshots just now.It seems that it is not easy no matter where you are.Arthur got into the car directly, stepped on the accelerator and ran towards the address Saul sent him.It's not unimaginable for a homeless person to be hunted by a large corporation.In fact, homeless people are often hunted by large corporations.The reason is simple, that is, the Rangers lack intelligence.Because they have not taken root in a city, they have no way to operate their own intelligence system. The lack of intelligence means that they can only get some very superficial intelligence.For example, there is a batch of supplies in a certain warehouse in a certain place.But what the wanderers don't know is that this batch of supplies may be Arasaka's, or it may be military technology.After the robbery is over, the people in Military Technology and Arasaka will go crazy looking for these wanderers, because there may be a very important experimental product in this batch of goods.The Sword in the Stone was running wildly on the ruins above the bad land. From a distance, Arthur could see explosions, flames and bullets flying in front of him.Arthur took out a pistol from the back of his waist, and then scratched the back of his head.For such a big scene, a small pistol seems a bit insufficient. We have to find some time to get some powerful weapons.Otherwise, it wouldn't be a problem to fight hand to hand all the time. If you get covered in blood, you will soon become a successful person. This is very shameful.Just as Arthur was thinking about where to go to get weapons, several vehicles that had been modified into wasteland style flew past Arthur's car.Then Arthur saw a convoy chasing behind this group of wanderers.The black convoy and the heavily armed soldiers can be seen at a glance as being the elite among the elite, at least much better than the Rangers.Arthur sighed. In this situation, he could only use a small pistol in hand-to-hand combat. It probably couldn't even penetrate the body armor on the person.He immediately threw the pistol in his hand onto the seat next to him, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the prosthetic body behind him activated instantly.In an instant, his nerves were accelerated to the extreme and time slowed down. Arthur stretched out his hand and grabbed the roof of the Sword in the Stone. He turned over and jumped out of the car and onto the roof.With both hands stretched forward, the mantis knife was instantly ejected, and he leaped over to one of the black armored vehicles."Bang bang bang!"But Arthur is not the only one with the ability to accelerate nerves. As an elite team of military technology, they also have a large number of prosthetic modifications on their bodies.The moment Arthur reached the roof of their car, their speed, which was as slow as an 80-year-old grandfather, was instantly accelerated to that of a 20-year-old youth.The gun in his hand was no longer pointed at the Rangers convoy in the distance but at Arthur. , and for a moment the fiery snake swallowed."Zhuo, as expected, it's not a good job to work with these company dogs!"Arthur twitched the corner of his mouth and swung the mantis knife in his left hand quickly. The mantis knife in the other hand popped out quickly and went directly through the roof of the car and stabbed into the driver's heart and lungs.The armored car seemed to pause for a moment and then began to sway left and right. Arthur no longer stopped and jumped from this armored car to the roof of another car.Just after she left, Clock Sword Princess rammed directly into the armored vehicle at a super high speed. The armored vehicle was instantly topped and exploded into a ball of sparks with a roar."boom!"As soon as he landed, the shotgun bullet passed through the roof of the car and hit Arthur's head.Arthur leaned back slightly to avoid the fatal blow.In his hand, he quickly cut the mantis knife downwards, opened the roof of the car, and directly grabbed the driver in the cockpit.Instead of killing him, he threw it to the side and escaped from his body.He took out two round things, pulled off the tabs on them with his teeth, threw them inside, jumped directly onto the road with a vertical leap, and rolled to remove the force, without stopping the nerve acceleration, the muscles in his feet The body was pushed to the extreme and rushed forward quickly."boom!!!",As an explosion rang out, two cars were connected, and the wreckage of the destroyed car directly blocked the road. Arthur was leaving the scene at a very high speed. He didn't want to have anything to do with the military technology people.Although Night City belongs to Arasaka, Night City itself belongs to Bald Eagle, and the border security work is done by people with military technology. If there is any relationship, Arthur will probably be hunted to death.Some time later, on a deserted Gobi Desert, Arthur lit the cigarette in his hand and squinted at the Toyotas raising smoke and dust in the distance.Soon the car stopped in front of Arthur. A middle-aged man with a beard on his face jumped out of the car, came to Arthur and gave him a passionate hug.Arthur couldn't stand the smell of him and could only push him away.Although homeless people are pretty good to their friends, the smell of sex on their bodies is really unacceptable.The main reason is that they have been wandering outside all day and have no time to take a shower. This group of people have just arrived in Night City and have not yet rested. They may not have taken a shower for several months or even half a year."Thank you Arthur for helping Adecado, you will always be our Adecado friend."
