Chapter 77 If You Can’t See (Please read~)
Lying on the bed, Gloria didn’t know what to say anymore. She was so anxious that she wanted to scream.
But she was even more afraid that this unknown hacker would pack her and David up.
David hired a hacker to threaten the doctor?
Why did David have a gun and kill people?
Gloria's mind was in confusion, but she also understood that the matter must be because the doctor had some wrong ideas.
Then she thought in a self-deprecating way: She really deserves it.
She works as an outsourced municipal cleaner for the NCPD, and her main job is to help people collect corpses.
Not everyone can afford it and will buy membership in the trauma team. Her job is to collect the bodies of these poor people.
A large number of corpses were street gangsters or mercenaries, equipped with valuable prosthetics - so she reached a cooperation with this red shirt mental hospital.
She transports the corpse here for processing. On the way there, she will choose to dismantle the valuable prosthesis on the corpse. After it arrives, she will not care what the hospital does with the corpse.
As a partner, the mental hospital will also provide her with the minimum medical insurance package for free - so David traveled thousands of miles to carry her from the westernmost point of Santo Domingo to this easternmost hospital. Hospital.
Because David knew that his family was poor and he had no money, so he only had medical insurance at the Red Shirt Hospital.
But now, after she was injured, her former partner immediately showed his fangs.
Gloria desperately tried to get up, but the anesthetic on her body still had not completely worn off.
She could only pray that Leal wasn't a scavenger.
"Who are you?"
"David's classmate."
"Huh?"
"This is not important, the important thing is, You'll die again without me."
The current David is not a younger brother that Lille can accept - he can accept a weakling like Archido who has no talent for prosthetics and is useless in a fight.
But he couldn't accept a child who couldn't even pull the trigger even though his beloved relative was about to die.
To be honest, he really wants to add a viable force to the team, and the mature David definitely has the qualifications.
But David is the kind of person who cannot grow without sacrificing his loved ones - he can't possibly sacrifice himself, right?
As for saving Gloria, Lear suddenly felt that maybe it was because her relationship with David was quite similar to that between her and her mother in the previous life.
The difference is that he didn't grow up in Night City, and his academic career was much more successful than David's. David's mother died young and he went out to live on the streets early. Lille didn't have this experience.
Similarly, Lille felt that his mother's death had something to do with him.
Forget it, just treat it as a good deed - as for what will happen to David in the future, it depends on himself.
"Mrs. Martinez, did you know that human growth can basically be divided into three stages - the first stage as an adult is the dog in the water."
Gloria was stunned, not knowing what Leal wanted to do.
Lear continued: "The difference between adults and minors is that adults know their situation and know what to do to survive as a dog in the rain, instead of imagining that they are not in the rain all day long. It’s just that the humidity in the air is a bit high.
The second stage is the wolf. The evil ghost of survival is chasing behind him, becoming more and more terrifying, and you are getting stronger and stronger - in order to cope with the growing danger of survival. Under pressure, you start to be able to run, hunt, and tear off the largest piece of meat from the prey's carcass."
Gloria's head was buzzing.
She saw Leal's face - this was the man who intercepted the cyberpsycho on the highway.
Could it be that he is also getting sick?
".The third stage is the lion. The male lion stares at the prey on the horizon with no other target in his eyes.
It releases all its stored energy and chases from sunrise to sunset - or dies, Or become a drowned dog again.
Both you and this kid need to grow up. Night City is not a paradise, Arasaka Academy is not a dream base, and Arasaka Tower is just a tall tower.”
After that, Lille left the mental hospital.
Gloria took a long breath—what?
Dogs, wolves and lions?
Has this person read too many fairy tales?
After a while, Gloria sat up from the bed, and David suddenly woke up: "Mom!"
The comatose David felt like he had a nightmare - a nightmare Gloria died, and then... there was no more.
It’s all nothingness.
"David!" Gloria struggled to get off the bed, but her feet gave way and she happened to kneel down next to David.
"Mom, that's great." David's eyes were empty, and he suddenly felt relieved.
It was just that a text box suddenly appeared in his visual system, exactly what Lille had just said.
He had only heard of animals such as dogs, wolves and lions, but he had a different feeling about what Lille said.
What kind of person ignores the dangers everywhere and still feels that he is walking on an extremely bright road?
Perhaps this is his true portrayal of David - worse than a drowned dog.
"Mom, I don't belong to Arasaka Academy, I want to drop out."
"David." "Mom, I'm serious - if I don't get lucky this time, We are all dead - you spent all your money to let me study.
But we have to worry about life every day, can't afford trauma team insurance, and just go out and pick up a gun. The gangsters can kill us
Think about it carefully, every time we meet, it may be our last meeting.
You cannot live by just looking at the pie painted by the so-called Arasaka Academy and completely ignoring the real world. "
Speaking of this, David paused, looked at his mother, and said seriously:
"Even if one day I can stand on the top of Arasaka Tower, if you look at If you don’t see it, that doesn’t make sense. ”
Gloria was stunned, tears streaming down her cheeks.
She lowered her waist and covered her face: "I'm sorry David."
David smiled - although the anesthesia had not worn off yet, he still tried his best to smile.
"Stop crying, Mom."
"What did you do? You made Jack and I wait half an hour longer!"
Just arrived at Wild Wolf At the bar, Lear saw V with his arms folded, like a bomb.
Lear scratched his head: "It's okay, I just met an acquaintance of Archido. His mother was almost demolished by the scavengers, so I went to help."
"An acquaintance of Archido?" V looked over with suspicious eyes, and even leaned over directly.
"Uh, actually I am also a classmate of Arasaka Academy."
"Classmate." V sneered, "Awesome, the weak hacker in our team can help even though he is useless. Scavenger."
Liel spread his hands and said, "Come on, get in the car quickly, we still have to meet the people from Kangtao - what's the matter with your hair style?"
V got a new hairstyle.
It used to be a one-sided shovel, but now it has become a short haircut.
Not only did her hair style change, but she also dyed it a very cool gradient color of blue, purple and pink, which made her look less aggressive and more sassy.
V shook his hair proudly: "When I came back in that old Viper, I got hung up on the iron pieces of the car several times, and when I fought with James, I even got cut off a little bit, so why not Change your hairstyle to a shorter one, doesn’t it look good?”
Jack gave a thumbs up: “That’s a must, it looks good first-class”
Lille was amazed: "You're pretty cool too. I thought the first thing you would do was pick out a new implant or a car, but you ended up getting a haircut first?"
V hugged him He grabbed Lil's head, strangled his neck with his left hand, and shaped a drill into Lil's head with his right hand.
“You, can’t, and, Jie, Ke, one, same, praise, two, sentences?”
“Wrong, wrong!!”
< br>Lil patted V's arm crazily, while Jack looked at the two of them and laughed. The three of them passed by Misty's psychic house.
Misty also laughed when she saw this scene.
Jack used to be a lone wolf, but now he has a companion he can trust.
Jack felt Misty laughing, stopped, looked at Misty and scratched her head:
"Well, the tarot cards are quite accurate, we drew them last time What's it about? A chariot."
"Magician, Death and Chariot - Jack, what can you remember in your head?"
Misty chuckled lightly and poked Jack's head gently.
However, the height difference between the two is too great, so they have to be very close to each other for this poke.
Jack instantly became more coy: "I can remember a lot of things, Misty, I mean, do you want to go for a drive? Wait until I buy a new car."
"Okay, as long as you don't forget."
"That's a must!"
Lille, who was locked by V, also waved his hand: "Thank you Misty, the tarot divination last time was a big help - can you let go! I'm going to be broken by you!"
< br>V was not lenient at all: "You are so mean - don't worry Misty, if Jack forgets, I will remind him immediately."
Jack chuckled: "Then we go out, you have to wait for me, it's agreed!"
"It's agreed~ I'll be right here, not going anywhere, Come and follow your good brothers.”
Misty watched the three of them drive away, and Jack, who had the back seat to himself, opened the window and waved to her.
She used to think Jack was very cheerful, but every time he went out and came home, she always felt that he had suppressed something.
Now, she could see that Jack was really happy.
Maybe this is Heywood's child.
