Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 142 Living Together
Wilson Shooting Range.

"Haha, I won again this time."

Tang Yu put down the Lexington in his hand, took off the noise-cancelling headphones, and said in a deep voice while lowering his head to organize the gun props.

"You feel good today."

Rebecca, who was in the shooting channel next to her, smiled triumphantly: "I think so too."

She put away the gun, took a big step to the left, moved to Tang Yu's side, poked him with her elbow, and looked up and said.

"Hey, from the company, let's go, I'll buy you a drink."

After finishing speaking, it seemed that Tang Yu would break appointments and run away every time after shooting a gun. He always looked like he didn't answer, and felt like being used, which made her feel a little annoyed.

"Okay, no excuses are allowed this time, do you hear me?"

Tang Yu looked sideways at Rebecca, who was approaching, and ran away every time he finished shooting. He was really embarrassed, so he smiled helplessly.

"Okay, if it's a stupid monkey."

Hearing the word stupid monkey, Rebecca's little face immediately collapsed.

She was very impressed with the stupid monkey drink.

The main reason is that once before, after practicing guns with Tang Yu, the two made an appointment to have a drink.

It was Tang Yu who won the shooting competition that time, according to their rules, it was up to him to treat the guests and decide what drinks to order.

Unexpectedly, Tang Yu took her to a self-service beverage cabinet and bought two bottles of green stupid monkey.

Rebecca didn't like this corn-flavored drink. Although she had seen it before, she had never tasted it.

Under Tang Yu's utmost efforts, Rebecca tasted for the first time in her life what is sweet and greasy, and her whole body was fainted by the smell of corn.

Since then, she vowed not to lose to Tang Yu in the shooting session, practiced shooting marksmanship hard, and raised the shooting limit level in disguise.

Now that Tang Yu mentioned the stupid monkey again, his face naturally became extremely ugly.

Tang Yu glanced at Rebecca and found that her face was not right, she seemed a little uncomfortable.

"What's the matter? If you don't feel well, you can go back to rest earlier, and I will buy you a drink next time."

Rebecca's face was like a bitter melon, sour and astringent, but when she heard Tang Yu say 'it will be next time', she quickly explained.

"No, no, no, I'm not feeling sick, just be a stupid monkey, I'll just ask you."

After finishing speaking, Rebecca turned back to the shooting position, packed up the bullets and gun accessories on the table, and muttered to herself.

"Stupid monkey, stupid monkey, I hate stupid monkey the most"

"The company, why would you like to drink this stuff?"

After the two simply packed up and paid the bill, they walked out of the shooting range together.

Rebecca put her hands in her pockets, her black jacket's stand-up collar blocked half of her face, her long double ponytails were tied behind her shoulders by hair ties, and she swayed slightly as she walked.

Tang Yu and Rebecca have been practicing shooting in the shooting hall for a while, and it can be regarded as a mutual tacit habit.

The main reason is that Rebecca couldn't find any decent opponents in the shooting hall, so that for a long time, she was not interested in going to the shooting hall to practice guns.

Just met Tang Yu, who is good at marksmanship, and the two were able to compete together, winning and losing each other, which made Rebecca feel the long-lost joy of shooting.

And Tang Yu happened to be short of a partner, and the two hit it off, and gradually became acquainted at the Wilson shooting range.

It's just that Tang Yu doesn't often go to the shooting gallery to practice guns, and sometimes he is delayed because of company affairs.

Rebecca is also used to it. When she has nothing to do in the afternoon, she will go to the shooting gallery to see if her opponent is there.

The two wandered the streets of Watson, looking for a vending cabinet.

Hot white smoke came out of the sewers on the side of the road, and pedestrians passing by passed by.

Rebecca kept looking forward, suddenly thought of something, looked a little heavy, looked up at Tang Yu and asked.

"From the company, last time you said that Sasha couldn't wake up."

"is that true."

Tang Yu had explained this to Rebecca alone before, and Sasha's brain had a false death due to serious injuries.

Today's Sasha is no longer the team hacker who worked with them.

"Well, what, do you want to see her?"

When Rebecca heard this, her eyes couldn't help becoming a little lonely.

In fact, she knew that Tang Yu would never be aimless. When she learned that Sasha had lost her memory, she had already admitted this fact.

It's just that she still wants to get a glimmer of hope from Tang Yu, but this glimmer of hope has obviously been shattered.

Rebecca looked away, looked at the ground in front of her steps, and nodded seriously.

"Well, but knowing that Sasha is alive is more important than anything else."

She couldn't help recalling many past events with Sasha, the tribulations they experienced together, and the commissions they completed together.

At that time, Rebecca learned from Mann that something happened to Sasha, and she couldn't believe it at all.

She never blamed anyone for what happened to Sasha, she only hated herself for not going with her.

Since then, the figure of Sasha has been lingering in her mind.

Tang Yu felt a little sad when he saw Rebecca, and said with relief: "Sasha is doing well now, isn't he?"

He felt that there should be no problem with this sentence. After all, Sasha joined Arasaka Company and became his special assistant, living in Night City in a brand new way.

Moreover, Mann and the others also avenged her by setting fire to the biotechnology building, fulfilling her wish before she fell.

There was a flash of understanding in Rebecca's eyes, she looked up at Tang Yu, and smiled angrily: "It's true, I joined Arasaka and became the special assistant to the minister. It's no better than being a cyberpunk around you every day. .”

Tang Yu didn't answer, thinking that the matter of Sasha living in his place must be kept as a top secret, and Sasha must be vaccinated when he goes back.

Rebecca noticed that his face was a little strange, so she asked curiously: "The company, what are you thinking?"

Tang Yu replied calmly: "I'm thinking about the company."

Rebecca lost interest when she heard about the company, and quickly waved her hand: "Hey, hey, don't mention it, I don't want to hear these spoilers."

Then, she took out three bubble gums from her pocket, peeled off one of the tin foil wrappers, and raised her hand to Tang Yu's mouth.

"Here, Bubblegum."

"Sasha's favorite flavor in the past, you can try it."

Tang Yu took a bite of the bubble gum and began to chew, the faint sweetness of roses overflowed his mouth.

After the bubble gum softened, I tried blowing a pink bubble.

Boo!
The bubble burst, and the sugar glue stuck to the edge of the lips, and he sipped it twice.

Rebecca saw Tang Yu blowing bubble gum for the first time, and thought it was fun. When the bubble burst, she couldn't help showing a little smile.

She also peeled a piece of bubble gum, threw it into her mouth, and chewed.

Tang Yu glanced at her and suggested.

"Would you like to have a bubble blowing competition to see who can blow the most?"

Rebecca coughed helplessly, elbowed Tang Yu again, and said angrily.

"Don't be so naive, okay, you are a senior executive of the company."

"But if you really want to compare, you must not be as good as me."

Tang Yu was just joking with her. Naturally, it is impossible to really play such a childish game as blowing bubble gum.

Rebecca picked up the last bubble gum while chewing.

"I don't know if Sasha still likes to eat bubble gum now."

After watching for a while, she turned around and stopped Tang Yu, lifted his windbreaker jacket, and stuffed the bubble gum into his trouser pocket.

"This bubble gum, you bring it to Sasha to taste and see if she likes it."

Tang Yu was blowing bubbles on his own, thinking that if Sasha still remembered this bubble gum, he might be able to blow it better than the two of us.

The two just walked aimlessly on the street, waiting for the self-service vending machine to appear.

The strange thing is that there doesn't seem to be a drink vending machine on this route today.

They didn't have a specific purpose when they came out for a walk, they just went for a walk after gun practice, and found a place to have a drink by the way, simple and simple.

Wait until the two walk for a while.

Rebecca's eyes suddenly lit up, and she found a drink vending machine not far ahead, and immediately reminded Tang Yu beside her.

"Hey, from the company, don't you see there are vending machines there, there must be stupid monkeys."

But when I looked up, I found that Tang Yu seemed to have just received a call.

Tang Yu received a communication request from Gloria.

After connecting.

On the other end of the phone, Gloria, as always, said hello first, and after confirming that Tang Yu was free now, she began to report on the business.

"Mr. Tang, the disappearance of the girls around the Lizi bar has already begun."

"As you expected, this matter is indeed related to the Tiger Claw Gang, and there are many aspects involved, and the Tiger Claw Gang's methods of doing things are very strict."

Tang Yu felt that Gloria should be in trouble, otherwise he could find mercenaries to complete the commission after the investigation was clear.

Investigating the Tiger Claw Gang is still a bit reluctant for Gloria.

"Have the Tiger Claws noticed you?"

Gloria was silent, and then said with some embarrassment: "I'm fine here, mainly because a few girls have disappeared recently."

"Gloria." Tang Yu interrupted her.

Gloria was obviously taken aback. This was the first time Tang Yu called her name so solemnly that she didn't know how to respond.

Tang Yu continued: "Remember what I told you before, whether it is information or difficulties, you must tell me."

"There is nothing or any difficulty that you need to bear alone. I don't want accidents to happen because of unnecessary worries."

"Understand?"

Gloria was stunned, and Tang Yu's words sounded a little serious, like an unquestionable order.

But in her heart, there was something different about it.

Gloria did encounter some troubles, but she considered that Tang Yu was a senior executive of the Arasaka company, and it might be bad if she intervened in the Tiger Claw Gang.

The Tiger Claw Gang relies on Arasaka, and the two are closely related, which is well known to everyone in Night City.

Most importantly, Gloria doesn't want to disappoint Tang Yu.

But now Tang Yu saw through her at a glance, and couldn't hide his thoughts at all.

She tried her best to calm down and replied seriously.

"I see, Mr. Tang."

The reason why Tang Yu educates Gloria in this way is that she doesn't want her to develop bad habits and do bad things with so-called good intentions.

What he wanted was for Gloria to think about the big picture, not him personally.

In Gloria's view, some difficulties do not want to trouble Tang Yu, or want to carry it by herself, which is a kind of kindness to Tang Yu.

But in Tang Yu's view, this approach is undoubtedly the most stupid.

Gloria's difficulties may feel like a mountain to herself, but it may not be a big deal for Tang Yu.

The key is.

If Gloria had thought about him and held back something, it would be too late for something to happen to her in the end.

It is also impossible for Tang Yu to pay attention to her thoughts all the time. In short, it is the most correct way to communicate with each other in time.

Gloria went on to explain seriously.

"Mr. Tang, in this investigation we found the instigator behind the disappearance, Masamori Jotaro."

"He is a high-level member of the Tiger Claw Gang. He arranges different subordinates to patrol the streets near the Lizi Bar. After selecting a target, he will cheat the girl away in the name of doing business, and sometimes he will use tough methods."

"We found some clues, but we didn't take any action in order not to startle the snake."

"Currently looking for the location of Zhengfa Jotaro. He hides very deeply. It is difficult to find him without special information."

Zhengfa Jotaro?
Tang Yu has some impressions of him, it should be the dead soul of his former subordinates, and he seems to have opened a casino or something.

It's just that because of the killings back then, I don't have much impression of these characters. After all, the top executives of the Tiger Claw Gang chop melons and vegetables, so naturally they can't remember these social dregs clearly.

Dregs like Zhengfa Chengtaro couldn't enter Tang Yu's field of vision at all.

But at the bottom of Night City, its influence cannot be underestimated, especially the nightmare of street girls.

"Did you get threatened by the Tiger Claw Gang during the investigation?"

Gloria was silent, and replied with some helplessness: "Yes."

"I received a letter from Twisted Street Okada Wakako, she said that the Tiger Claw Gang had noticed that I was looking for clues, and asked me to observe some rules. As a middleman, before I gain a firm foothold, don't easily meddle with people outside my ability matter."

It turned out that it was not Jotaro Masho who discovered Gloria's actions, but Wakako Okada, a middleman in Twist Street.

Tang Yu is quite familiar with Okada and Gezi. In the past, V often took some tasks from her. She is not a villain, but a middleman who puts interests first.

Tang Yu felt that although He Gezi's words were threatening, they were somewhat kind.

Otherwise, based on her relationship with the Tiger Claw Gang, she can directly notify the Tiger Claw Gang to arrest people.

This incident was a wake-up call to Tang Yu. As Gloria gradually deepens her job as a middleman, it will inevitably attract a lot of attention.

Before she has enough background and influence, her personal safety will be threatened.

Tang Yu said in a deep voice: "I know about this, you remember to take Sijibao with you, and I will arrange for Sasha to live with you for a while later."

Arrange for Sasha to live with me?

Gloria was very surprised. She didn't expect Tang Yu to arrange for her company assistant Sasha to protect her, so she quickly explained: "Mr. Tang, it doesn't matter to me, your safety is important."

She has already suffered too much from Tang Yu. Originally, being a middleman is to repay the kindness. Now she has to let Sasha protect herself, which makes her feel ashamed.

Moreover, as a company assistant, Sasha is a serious employee of Arasaka Company. It is too inappropriate to protect her, an ordinary middleman.

Now that Tang Yu has made this decision, he won't wait for Gloria to refuse, and just pretend that he didn't hear these words.

"You go back and clean up the house, and I will let Sasha live with you for a while."

Gloria suddenly felt a little dizzy, but she understood that she could only obey Tang Yu's decision, so she agreed in fear.

"Mr. Tang, I understand."

After the communication, Gloria hung up the phone.

Gloria felt her head spinning for a while, thinking of Tang Yu's arrangement just now, she didn't feel relieved for a long time.

She sat on the sofa in her apartment, looking up at the ceiling above her head, without saying a word.

Mr. Tang arranged for Sasha to live in her house and protected her for a period of time. No matter how you think about it, he is concerned about his own safety.

But Mr. Tang's tone sounded like he was giving an order, which couldn't be more normal.

Perhaps Mr. Tang was preventing himself from being captured by the Tiger Claw Gang, leaking his information, and ruining the event.

Gloria broke her heart and thought decisively that even if she was really captured by the Tiger Claw Gang and tortured to extract a confession, she would not reveal a word about Mr. Tang.

This life was saved by Mr. Tang, and he would be willing to give it back again.

but.

Gloria felt that it was over like this, and she was somewhat sorry for Tang Yu's cultivation, at least until this single task was completed.

She shook her head violently to get rid of these negative thoughts in her mind. The most important thing right now is that Sasha will come to live with her.

It must be inconvenient for David to come back and live, and David must not be allowed to know about Sasha, otherwise everything between her and Tang Yu will be exposed.

Think about this.

Gloria was just about to send a message to David, but received a message from Tang Yu first.

Tang Yu: "If you have personal information about Zhengfa Jotaro, please send me a copy. In addition, I have notified Sasha, and it is estimated that I will arrive at your house within an hour."

After Gloria received the news, she jumped up from the sofa, put her feet up and knelt on the sofa, and quickly replied to the message, sending the personal information of Jotaro Mashobo.

Only then did he wipe off the fine beads of sweat on his forehead. He was too nervous for a moment, and felt his face heat up.

"Mr. Tang is still as fast as ever."

She clearly remembered the first time she met Tang Yu, and it was the same situation. She came within half an hour after receiving the news, which made it too late for her to do some cleaning at home.

health?

Gloria thought of something again, and immediately looked around the house, only to realize that the house hadn't been cleaned up.

Gloria got up from the sofa in a hurry, and when she was about to tidy up, she remembered that it was time for David to get off work, and wondered if he would work overtime today.

So he quickly called up the communication interface and sent a message to David to let him live in the company for a while, if it is not possible to open a hotel, and electronically transfer [-] euros to him.

David replied in seconds: "Mom, what's the matter, I work overtime today, and I may come back tomorrow morning."

Gloria poked her chin with her index finger, and quickly turned her head to make up a reason: "Recently, a distant sister is coming to Night City to play for a while, and I have promised her to live in our house. It is not convenient for you, a big boy, to live with you. You can live in a company, or open a hotel.”

David: "."

David: "I see, but it's less than [-] Euros. Mom, what have you been doing these days? Where did you get the money?"

Gloria was a little annoyed and said, "Don't worry about the adult's business, just do an internship at Arasaka Company!"

She was a little worried that David was thinking wrong, so she added: "I earned all this money seriously, remember the Mann team? I used some previous working relationships to find some entrusted exchanges and earn some intermediate fees .”

During this period of being a middleman, she not only earned a few large sums of money by working with Tang Yu, but also started to earn some money by accepting some small commissions.

Gradually, the money on hand became more abundant.

Although it is not as much as Mann and the others, she has already earned a lot more than before by taking commission commissions by herself.

The economic situation has improved significantly, and if David needs to pay compensation for causing trouble at school again, Gloria has the confidence to spend money on the spot.

David: "I see, but you pay attention to safety and be careful when dealing with mercenaries."

Gloria: "When you climb to the top of Arasaka Tower, I won't have to work so hard. Work hard!"

David: "I see, Mom, let's not talk about it, the company is busy."

Gloria took care of David's side, and thought carefully about any loopholes.

By the way, access control!
She immediately came to the gate, turned the aperture of the prosthetic eye, changed the access control password, and prohibited David's identity information authentication.

In order to prevent David from getting in through other passages, he called the property and paid for the vent to be reinforced again.

It wasn't until she confirmed that David couldn't get in through the ventilation duct that she breathed a sigh of relief.

at this time.

Tang Yu also received an intelligence message from Gloria.

The content is displayed.

As the top leader of the Tiger Claw Gang, Masamune Jotaro is different from other gang leaders from Kyoto Airborne. He climbed up step by step from the bottom.

He has always been known for two characteristics. One is his extreme disregard for life. He often plays in person when recording those cruel black supermengs. In his eyes, people are no different from white pigs.

Anyone who has worked with him has seen his methods. No matter how many flavors the scene has, he doesn't even blink his eyelids. He is a top butcher with back hair.

Another feature is that he pays tribute to the Tiger Claw Gang on time and on time, and he can successfully complete even the highest requirements. He usually likes to study and ponder Heichaomeng.

Mashobo Jotaro has quite a network of connections. Not only is he backed by the Tiger Claw Gang, but he also cooperates with the NCPD, and has close relationships with Arasaka Company executives and gang bosses.

He opened a casino in Kabukicho, called the Phoenix Club, which was a den for selling stolen goods.

It seems that I have to go to the casino today.

Rebecca chewed the bubble gum, the bubbles in her mouth had just burst, and noticed that Tang Yu had finished making the phone call, frowning and saying displeasedly.

"Is the company coming to live again?"

She knew that there must be no good thing for Tang Yu to answer the phone. After answering the phone, he would usually call Delaman to go straight away. Today, he must not be able to drink stupid monkey.

But Rebecca also understands that being a company dog ​​is like this, and she has to be on call 24 hours a day, so she can only sigh helplessly.

Seeing her sluggish look, Tang Yu asked back: "I sigh three times, are you interested in going to the casino to try it out?"

Rebecca looked at Tang Yu a little strangely. He seemed to have no intention of returning to the company after hearing what he said, and a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes.

"Really? Go to the casino? Sounds good."

"But I don't seem to have much money, maybe only 10,000+ euro gold left, I don't know if it's enough."

Tang Yu: "."

　Instant Noodles: "Super invincible thanks to the big boss 'Xunqiano' for his huge reward and becoming the new rudder owner of this book,"

　　Johnny: "It's been a long time since I came to the small theater, and I finally have a chance to let me say something, instant noodles, it's the two of us, see, no one will praise you except me."

　　Instant Noodles: "There are too many people supporting me, all the bosses are happy every day in the group."

　　Johnny: "That's a pity, Instant Noodles. I heard that a boss can't find where your secret nest is? Then I'll tell him quietly, the full subscription group is in the introduction."
