Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

The next day.

The weather is slightly cooler.

David got up early.

He neatly changed into his academy uniform and prepared to go to Arasaka Academy for classes as usual.

The projection TV in the living room was showing News 54's morning news bulletin.

"Last night, a serious traffic accident occurred on the viaduct in the Westbrook Valley area. According to on-site reports, the perpetrator was Carter Smith, a staff member of the Counterintelligence Department of Arasaka Company."

"Suspected of having a cyberpsychotic episode, he used a thermal samurai sword to kill four passers-by on the street. He was dealt with by the Arasaka Special Forces on the spot. Contact with Carter Smith himself is currently impossible."

"Two consecutive cybermaniac attacks are related to Arasaka Company"

Then, the news released a photo of Carter Smith’s personal identity.

David was a little surprised when he saw the news, and quickly called his mother Gloria: "Mom! There is a cybermaniac out of Arasaka Company! From the Counterintelligence Department!"

Gloria heard David shouting from the living room and walked out of the bedroom, covering her yawn. The simple pajamas were wrinkled on her body, showing off her well-shaped figure.

Maybe it was because I drank some wine the night before, but I haven't slept as deeply and soundly as I have in the past two days for a long time.

As for David's compensation, she has already raised enough.

Yi Yan didn't pay for the meal that night. He just spent some money on clothes. Only the one given to Tang Yu was the most expensive.

As for her long-tailed red dress, it was rented and cost less than four hundred euros for one night. Although it was not much, it was still heartbreaking.

Then I received a small resignation subsidy from the public medical center and settled the unsettled shipping bills.

After collecting the compensation fee, it was transferred to the college's finance office yesterday, so David can go to the college with peace of mind.

Gloria heard David shouting, walked to the living room, rubbed her sleepy eyes and watched News 54.

"Yesterday, a violent explosion occurred on the 23rd floor of a high-rise apartment in Westbrook. A woman in her sixties living alone died in the explosion. The NCPD currently characterizes the explosion as a natural accident."

David reminded her to read the previous news item.

Gloria waved her hand to control the projection TV replay, learning about the cybermaniac attack on the viaduct. The protagonist of the news was Carter, an employee of Arasaka Company.

After reading it, she was a little surprised. The employees of the Counterintelligence Department of Arasaka Company suddenly turned into cyber lunatics, and there had just been a cyber lunatic attack in the company square not long ago.

Gloria watched for a while, frowned, turned off the TV with her backhand, and urged David beside her: "Don't worry about this, it has nothing to do with you. Go to school quickly. You have already taken a day off. It will be bad to be late again." Got it!"

David had no choice but to get dressed angrily, grab a quick breakfast and set off.

Gloria sent David off and returned to the living room to turn on the news. She watched it several times and then found WNS news station.

Sure enough, they all broadcast the same news, except that WNS turned Carter Smith into a cyber madman, defined as a person who privately installed advanced combat implants, damaged his biological nerves, and lost control.

The reason why four people were killed was because they, as gang members, provoked Carter first.

Gloria had too little information. Because she had previously worked in emergency transport, she was very sensitive to sudden death.

Moreover, Carter Smith's identity as Counter-Intelligence Department caught her attention, and it may have something to do with Tang Yu.

She brought up Tang Yu's contact interface.

Looking at the 'familiar' person on the contact box, he still didn't make a call.

After much thought, I gave up.

Tang Yu has not contacted her since she finished her meal in Ember the day before yesterday.

"I have the morning shift at this time. Mr. Tang should be very busy."

Gloria couldn't be sure whether the invitation Tang Yu said that day was still valid, but she couldn't easily ask.

All she could do now was wait.

Gloria collapsed and sat on the sofa, her eyes a little absent-minded.

She used to work multiple jobs every day, but she has not gone to work since the car accident.

"Oh, I haven't had such leisure time for a long time."

“I always feel a little uneasy, so forget it.”

"It's better not to rush to find a job. If a job suddenly comes, I will be embarrassed if I clearly agree but don't have time."

Gloria thought for a while and decided to go back to catch up on her sleep. She yawned and walked back to her bedroom to fall asleep.

at this time.

David took the train as usual, and then went to Company Square Station to get off.

Following the crowded crowd and slowly approaching the exit gate, David's eyes suddenly looked to the right not far away and froze.

He found Tang Yu, wearing a crisp suit, walking towards the exit gate in the same direction as him.

David suddenly became nervous and looked a little flustered. This was the first time he met Tang Yu without Gloria.

Do not know why.

Every time David saw Tang Yu, who had saved him, he always became inexplicably panicked.

Maybe it's because he doesn't want to owe Tang Yu, or maybe he looks like a noob in front of Tang Yu, or maybe the other party knows too many of his secrets.

"Hell, why would Arasaka company executives take public trains!"

David couldn't care less and quickly looked around, trying to avoid the exit gate by changing to another one.

Before he could run away, he heard someone calling him.

"Classmate David, it's quite early to go to school."

David suddenly froze, sighed helplessly, turned around, and said with a forced smile: "Mr. Tang, good morning."

When Tang Yu saw David looking listless, he thought he was being bullied by Tanaka Katsuo again.

"Why, can't you handle the relationship with your classmates well in the college?"

David was afraid that Tang Yu would mention what happened in the Ember toilet that day. He didn't want to bring such a humiliating experience to the table.

"No, no, no, it's good. My mother has already paid the compensation fee from the college."

Tang Yu nodded.

The two walked out of the traffic station one after another and walked towards the same goal, Arasaka Tower.

Tang Yu saw that David didn't seem to be very interested, so he didn't ask any more questions. Adolescent children are always sensitive.

Instead, David lowered his head and walked away for a while, then asked in a low voice: "Mr. Tang, I saw on the news today that something happened to an employee of the Counterintelligence Department."

Tang Yu already knew about Carter: "Well, he worked under me for a few days, but he made a wrong move in the company, maybe he fell into the abyss. What, did he have a new view on the company?"

David raised his head and looked at Tang Yu beside him. He was still walking steadily and confidently. He mustered up the courage to ask with some concern: "Doesn't this matter involve you?"

Tang Yu stopped and looked at David. He was not very tall.

Tang Yu lowered his head slightly and said with a smile: "What if I told you that Carter Smith was killed by me?"

When David heard Tang Yu's question, he was so shocked that he was stunned and looked at Tang Yu smiling kindly with an expression of disbelief.

"this"

When Tang Yu saw David's exaggerated reaction, he laughed loudly: "He is a liar. He committed his own suicide and has nothing to do with me."

Tang Yu moved his gaze to the distance, and the Arasaka Tower in his sight stood like a giant black tower.

"David, this is Arasaka, the place you are going to enter in the future, have you really thought about it?"

Tang Yu patted David on the shoulder, and then walked towards Arasaka Tower alone.

David was left in shock, a little messy in the wind
