Chapter 77 If you can’t see (please read~)

Gloria, who was lying on the bed, 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 a trauma team. Her job is to collect the bodies of these poor people.

A large part of the 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 part of Santo Domingo to the easternmost 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."

"ah?"

"This is not important. What is important is that you will 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 fighting.

But he couldn't accept a child who couldn't even pull the trigger even though his favorite relative was about to die.

To be honest, he really wants to add a real force to the team, and the mature David definitely has the qualifications.

But David is the kind of person who can't 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 her 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.

The same thing is that Lille feels that his mother's death has 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 him.

"Mrs. Martinez, you know, human growth can basically be divided into three stages - the first stage as an adult is the drowned dog."

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 air humidity is a bit high.

The second stage is the wolf. The evil ghost of survival is chasing behind you, becoming more and more terrifying, and you are getting stronger and stronger - in order to cope with the increasing pressure of survival, you begin to be able to run, hunt, and fight for your life. Remove the largest piece of meat from the prey carcass. "

Gloria's head was buzzing.

She saw Leal's face—the man who had 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 goals in his eyes.

It releases all its stored energy and chases it from sunrise to sunset - either to death or to becoming a drowned dog again.

You and this kid both need to grow up. Night City is not a paradise, Arasaka Academy is not a dream-making base, and Arasaka Tower is just a taller tower. "

With that, Leal 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!"

David, who was in a coma, felt like he had a nightmare - in the nightmare, Gloria died, and then nothing happened.

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.

But a text box suddenly appeared in his visual system, which was 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 would ignore the dangers everywhere and still feel 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 hadn’t been lucky this time, we would all be dead—you spent all your money on me studying.

But we have to worry about life every day. We can't afford trauma team insurance, and any gangster with a gun can kill us when we go out.

Think about it carefully, every time we meet, it may be our last meeting.

You can't live by just looking at the pie painted by the so-called Arasaka Academy and completely ignoring the real world. "

Having said this, David paused, looked at his mother, and said seriously:

"Even if one day I can stand on top of Arasaka Tower, it means nothing if you can't see me."

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 are you doing? You kept Jack and I waiting for half an hour longer!"

As soon as he arrived at the Wild Wolf Bar, Lille 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 out a little."

"An acquaintance of Achido?" V looked over suspiciously, and even approached him directly.

"Well, actually, he's also a classmate of Arasaka Academy."

"Classmate." V sneered, "Awesome, the weak hacker in our team can help us all, and even defeated the scavenger."

Lille spread his hands: "Come on, get in the car quickly, we still have to meet the people from Kangtao - what's the matter with your hairstyle?"

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 blue-purple-pink gradient color, which made her look less aggressive and more sassy.

V shook his hair proudly: "When I got back in that old Viper, I got hung up on the iron pieces of the car a few times. When I fought with James, I even got a little bit cut off. I might as well change my hair style to a shorter one. Does it look good?"

Jack gave a thumbs up: "That must be it, it looks first class."

Lear was amazed: "You're pretty cool too. I thought the first thing you did was pick out a new implant or a car, but you ended up getting a haircut first?"

V hugged Leer's head, strangled his neck with his left hand, and shaped a drill into Leer's head with his right hand.

“Can’t you just praise Jie Ke in one sentence?”

"Wrong, wrong!!"

Leal patted V's arm frantically, while Jack watched the two of them laughing. The three of them passed by Misty's psychic room.

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. What did we draw last time? Chariot."

"Magicians, Death, and Chariots—Jack, what can you remember in your head?"

Misty chuckled lightly and poked Jack's head gently.

However, the difference in height between the two of them was too great, so they had 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 is required!"

Lear, 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!"

V showed no mercy 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, we agreed!"

"As promised~ I'm right here, not going anywhere, just 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.
