Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past

Finally woke up...

With Dolio's sigh of relief ringing in his ears, Mann struggled a few times and finally got rid of the shackles of the dream and opened his eyes.

What's wrong with me? He struggled to sit up from Dolio's arms, muttering to himself, his dull eyes looking around in confusion.

The severe pain remaining in his mind reminded him that the endless torture like purgatory torture in his dream just now was not just a mental hallucination, but also actual physical pain.

Severe pain invaded the brain in waves, like an endless surge of waves, washing away the small and stubborn stone of Mann one after another.

He subconsciously stretched out his hands and grasped his head tightly, hoping to reduce the pain.

Cyber ​​psychosis... you almost went crazy just now. A strange deep male voice sounded, answering Mann's confusion with some emotion.

Mann raised his head in surprise and rubbed his eyes. The blurred vision gradually came into focus and became clear.

Only then did he see three people, a man and two women, sitting on the spacious sofa opposite, all watching his every move.

What happened? Xida still owed Mann a favor, and now she was even more worried that something might happen to him, so she was asking worriedly.

It is hard to imagine that this originally sunny and burly big brother would one day be reduced to such a situation - struggling painfully on the edge of the abyss, his whole body crumbling.

I'm fine... I just need to take a rest... Mann said habitually.

As the eldest brother of the team, silently carrying all the burdens and pains on his shoulders has become an inertia imprinted in his bones.

You look bad... Xi Tao said quietly, and through those confused eyes, she saw the weakness in Mann's heart.

The sunglasses used to hide his emotions had been taken off by Dolio when he fell into a nightmare.

Only then did Mann react. He smiled bitterly, squinted his eyes, and turned his head.

He stubbornly didn't want anyone to see through these windows the fragility of his heart.

Sigh... There is a hacker girl in our team who was injured during a previous mission. ... Seriously injured... If not treated in time, she may be paralyzed for life... In order to afford the high medical expenses, the rest of our team , especially Mann, who has been working 24 hours a day for the past week and has been busy completing various commissioned tasks. Dorio understood Mann's difficulties and understood his stubbornness, and she opened her mouth to attract three people to him. People's attention slowly reveals the reason.

At this party where all members of the two teams should have been present, only two people from Mann's side were present, and it was also for this reason.

Sasha needed to recuperate in the hospital, and Rebecca was with her throughout the whole process, taking good care of the sick girl.

Rebecca's brother, Pila, took over the original three-month quantity of orders in one week. He locked himself in the studio, exerted his technical expertise to the extreme, and made various items day and night.

Mann and Dolio were running around the streets, taking on various commissions, both white and black, and they would never let them go as long as there was money to be made.

Hacker girl? Is it Sasha? Xida frowned, rubbed his chin, and began to mobilize his stored memories, Was it that night? In the biotechnology building? I understand...

After taking a few seconds to understand the cause and effect, Xi Da slapped his forehead in distress, It's all my fault... for not letting the float car get closer to the window... otherwise...

Xida, don't blame yourself, no one wants this kind of thing... Lucy on the side spoke softly to comfort her, patting the girl's back repeatedly.

Yahweh, who was sitting on the right side of Heda, just silently held the girl's right hand and used his own heat to warm the coldness in her palm.

You saved Sasha? You saved her! Mann, who had been silently listening to their exchange with Dolio, suddenly became excited. He stood up from the sofa, wanted to straighten his spine, and bowed to say thank you.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up straight, a strong sense of dizziness washed away his consciousness and blurred it.

Mann! Dolio had been watching her beloved man with concern. Seeing that Mann was about to fall to the ground, she quickly rushed over and held him in her arms.

Calm down... Mann, your brain is very fragile right now... Any strong emotional fluctuations will immediately break the barely maintained balance and drag you into the abyss of madness.

Yahweh shook his head, and while calming Mann's excitement, he handed Dolio a blue-diamond granular substance.

This is the second one today...feed it to Mann...if he shows any signs of mood swings later, please use more force to knock him out... Yahweh said to Dolly After Ou finished his instructions, he turned to look at the dizzy Mann and sighed softly.

We asked you to meet today. Not only do we want to get to know each other, exchange feelings, and consider cooperation in the future; we also want to remind Mann that the prosthetic body installed on you has serious side effects... Xi Da shook his head. He shook his head, a little disappointed.

It's okay, girl... I owe you too much, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault.

Mann has recovered a lot after taking the second pill.

He closed his eyes and comforted the self-blaming girl in a low voice, and his tone slowly calmed down.

Let's not talk about these sad things... After a moment of silence, he opened his eyes, and Dolio next to him put on his sunglasses considerately.

Your medicine... must be very expensive, right? Mann scratched his head and asked Yahweh. Before he knew it, the tornado of deep pain had gradually dissipated into a weak breeze.

With such an immediate effect, the price is certainly not cheap.

Don't worry about these... Yahweh shook his head, This is an experimental drug. I have some on hand and I am trying to eliminate the side effects. I just caught up with your situation...

Mann smiled knowingly and was not dissatisfied with Yahweh's experiment.

It's just an excuse. They know each other well about the efficacy and side effects of the medicine.

The kindness was already engraved in his heart, and he didn't bother to say other pretentious words.

I almost forgot to introduce myself... aren't we here for an exchange meeting? Mann nodded to Yahweh, changed the topic, and took the initiative to guide the atmosphere of the party.

He first introduced himself and Dolio, and then explained in detail the composition of the other members of the team.

Hackers, technical experts, snipers, assaulters, all kinds of configurations are available.

This is Yahweh, my boyfriend, a hacker by profession...

This is Lucy next to her. She is also a hacker by profession...

Xi Tao introduced his teammates in the same way.

The composition of your members is quite strange. Mann couldn't help but tease. The pain that gradually dissipated made him feel good. Just when he was about to vent his emotions with laughter as usual, Dolio hit him on the back of the head. For a moment.

well……

He sighed, had no choice but to lower his head obediently, took the bottle handed over by Dolio, and drank large gulps of alcohol to stabilize his fluctuating emotions.
