Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

【Lucy】(Yes/no simulation?)

[Simulated object: Lucy]

[Simulation starting point: after leaving Night City alone]

[Simulation reminder: Life simulation is based on known related people and events in the subject's life, please treat the simulation results with caution]

In the yacht cabin, Tang Yu took off the Chaomeng ring on his head and looked at the silver-haired girl with her eyes closed beside her.

As the life simulation system prompts and confirms, Lucy falls into a deeper slumber, and is about to experience a simulation that is more real than Mewtwo.

This life simulation is crucial to the rest of Lucy's life. Whether she should stay in Night City in the future or choose to leave now will be decided at this moment.

Perhaps it was because of something sad that happened to the Sims, Tang Yu found that the silver-haired girl's eyes suddenly had crystal tears flickering.

While Lucy was doing life simulation, there was a lot of movement outside the yacht, it was the sound of floating cars and speedboats.

So Tang Yu stood up and walked straight out of the cabin.

now.

Lucy endured a severe headache and tried to open her eyes, dispelling the darkness in front of her eyes.

"Where is this?"

In a trance with her eyelids half-opened and half-closed, she saw the surrounding scene clearly.

I don't know when.

She was wearing a close-fitting hacker uniform, lying in a white and cold laboratory with a few data cables connected to her back.

Sudden.

She felt a little cold at the back of her head, and was startled. She quickly reached out and touched the back of her head, and found a biological nerve cable connected to her deep dive network interface.

what happened?

Lucy's complexion couldn't help but sink, she quickly unplugged the plug, turned over and rolled off the test bench, and knelt down on the ground weakly, barely supporting herself with her hands.

Her pupils were trembling constantly, her face was full of fear, and in her eyes, there appeared the extremely familiar logo.

Three branch lines extend upward from one line, and there are three round blocks at the top of each of the three branch lines.

"arasaka"

Lucy was in a daze, her fingers gripped the ground tightly, she couldn't believe that she was in Arasaka's laboratory now.

What exactly is going on?

She had a splitting headache, and countless memory fragments were torn apart and reorganized in her mind like a knife, gradually piecing together one picture after another.

The severe pain made Lucy almost unable to breathe. Her slender arms could no longer support the weight of her body, and she fell directly on the cold floor, curled up helplessly, covering her head and gritting her teeth.

After experiencing painful torture, Lucy finally remembered a little bit.

In order to avoid being captured by Arasaka agents, she chose to leave Night City alone. After a long time of turning around, she finally saved enough money to go to the moon, and then took a rocket to the moon.

But when she put on her spacesuit and stepped off the rocket, what greeted her was not the tranquility and beauty she imagined, but a group of Arasaka agents.

after that.

Lucy was taken to this lunar experiment base, which was named Yunhai in my impression.

The Yunhai Moon Base is an international organization, and Arasaka Corporation has obtained the permission to build a space laboratory in Yunhai through a lot of hard work.

Why did Arasaka wait until this moment?
Lucy suddenly remembered what happened to the interface in the back of her head. She struggled to stand up, lay back on the laboratory table, and checked the recorder, monitor and other equipment beside her.

The flow of data row by row plunged her into even greater panic.

Only then did Lucy learn that Arasaka's real purpose was not only her, but Tang Yu more importantly.

She suppressed the extreme panic and worry in her heart, turned the aperture of the prosthetic eye, called up the underlying database of the brain's neural network, and retrieved the ICE infiltration records.

Lucy was completely stunned, her eyes were motionless, as if she had lost her soul.

She confirmed it.

His own ICE has been disintegrated and invaded, and the cache of the underlying database has been exported.

What made her even more desperate was that a large amount of the exported data cache was related to Tang Yu.

Lucy panicked, totally panicked.

Because she knows what is in the memory in her mind, that is the biggest secret about Tang Yu.

If Arasaka finds out, he will fall into an unprecedented disaster.

A native person, without any prosthetic body installed, can use abilities beyond Si'an Weistein, and will inevitably become the hottest existence of everyone.

Lucy did her best to cheer herself up, and the pain in her head eased a lot as the memory came back.

She stepped off the test bench and wanted to leave the laboratory.

What disturbed her was that without seeing a living person, it was impossible to ask questions even if she wanted to.

She is extremely eager to know, what is going on with Tang Yu now?

When she chose to leave Night City, she just didn't want to implicate Tang Yu, but she still couldn't escape the catastrophe.

Lucy found that there was no access to the gate, and then she walked out of the small laboratory and walked through the corridor.

Her face was pale, her body was extremely weak, and she could only stumble forward while leaning on the white wall.

Fortunately, no one in the entire moon base appeared to stop her.

Lucy could only scurry around in Arasaka, the experimental base like a cage and hell, looking for a chance to escape.

But what made her extremely desperate was that this experimental base was located on the surface of the moon. Even if she found an exit, if she went out without protective measures, there was only one dead end.

Finally Lucy exhausted her strength and lay down in front of a gate, slumped down feebly, curled up and hugged her knees tightly.

Suddenly, a mechanical voice prompted.

"Is there anything I can do to help you?"

Lucy raised her head suddenly, the red lines on the corners of her eyes were a little blurred, realizing that this might be the artificial intelligence of the experimental base, she hurriedly asked, "Where is Tang Yu?"

The mechanical voice replied coldly: "I'm sorry to inform you that there is no research body code-named Tang Yu in the laboratory."

Hearing this, Lucy felt a little more at ease, so she asked again: "I want to leave here, what should I do?"

The mechanical voice continued to reply: "I'm sorry to inform you that your authority is not allowed to leave here. If you try to forcefully leave, I will restrict all your actions and carry out cleaning procedures if necessary."

Lucy couldn't help trembling after hearing this. She believed that artificial intelligence was absolutely capable of doing this.

An artificial intelligence like this would generally be in charge of the operating system of the entire experimental base, and cleaning up the creatures in the base was nothing more than a small program command.

Lucy didn't dare to act rashly, whether it was to invade the artificial intelligence system or escape from here by force, any action without knowing the details would lead to irreversible consequences.

Her heart gradually calmed down, and this artificial intelligence seemed to be relatively easy to talk, so she asked.

"This is the Arasaka Lunar Experiment Base, so do you know the situation in Arasaka?"

The voice of the artificial intelligence cold machine replied: "The experimental base here is built by Arasaka Company, and it is managed by an independent sub-network artificial intelligence, but the underlying database will be updated synchronously with Arasaka Company for human biological research."

A gleam flashed in Lucy's eyes, and she asked again: "Then do you know Tang Yu of Arasaka Tower in Night City? He is the double deputy director of the Counterintelligence Department and the Special Operations Department."

"Please wait a moment, we are retrieving relevant task information for you." The artificial intelligence is very cooperative in answering doubts.

"The following files were found for you."

"Tang Yu, once worked in the Night City Branch of Arasaka Company, employee number NC770416, employee level M9, served as the deputy director of the counterintelligence department and the deputy director of the special operations department."

"I was fired a month ago for violating Arasaka company regulations, and my employee number and related job titles were cancelled."

Tang Yu was fired by Arasaka Company?

Lucy couldn't believe her ears. Could all this be related to the stolen memory data in her mind?

But Tang Yu is obviously a high-level executive in the company, and he has unlimited possibilities in Arasaka Tower. With his means and abilities, how could he get to the point of being fired.

"Where is Tang Yu now?"

The cold mechanical voice replied again: "Unknown at the moment."

Lucy was completely numb.

The head that had just calmed down boiled up again, and even the hanging heart was ruthlessly pulled.

Tang Yu really had an accident, or a major accident.

It must have been the secret he was hiding that was discovered that caused Arasaka to set his sights on him.

Lucy couldn’t believe it, and could only ask timidly again: “Then how long have I been here?”

"30 days." The mechanical voice said as usual.

Lucy immediately understood everything, and the result was exactly as she had guessed.

After all, Tang Yu failed to escape Arasaka's claws and fell into the trap of hell.

The moon base is used for human biological research, and this moment couldn't be more obvious.

This isolated experimental base was tailor-made for Tang Yu, and his body was exactly what Arasaka was eager to study.

Lucy endured the huge hole in her heart and asked, "Can you let me see him?"

The artificial intelligence seemed a bit incomprehensible: "Besides you, there is only subject No. 001 here. If you want to take a look, I will open the permission for you."

"Experiment No. 001," Lucy muttered.

Suddenly, the gate behind the door was lit with a green light, and the fine steel gate slowly opened.

Lucy stood up and looked behind her, her eyes were a little dazed, and she walked in with heavy steps.

After going through a security scan and aerosol disinfection, she finally came to the No. 001 subject.

The scene in front of her completely stunned her in place, unable to make a sound for a long time.

In the brilliance of her neon pupils, a huge glass jar stood firmly in the middle. The glass jar was filled with an unknown blue transparent medicinal liquid.

A skinny male body was quietly floating in the blue liquid medicine, wearing a thick mask, with slender tubes inserted into his back, extracting different nutrients from his body, with gurgles of breath bubbles emerging from time to time.

It should be to prevent accidents. Even in a deep coma, his hands and feet are still locked by electromagnetic insulation chains, and he cannot move an inch.

Because of the long-term extraction of nutrients, the body has begun to sink into dryness, and the originally clear and bright face has become haggard and pale.

But Lucy still recognized his identity from those slightly closed eyes.

She seemed to have lost her soul, her whole brain sank into a huge void, and she no longer had any thoughts.

Tears fell silently, and the world began to become trance again.

It seemed as if he had lost the last bit of strength all over his body, and finally he fell straight to the ground and passed out.

It was as if her soul was being drawn into a black hole. No matter how she struggled, she couldn't resist the powerful and painful gravitational force. She was engulfed by the darkness bit by bit, tearing her soul apart, and she was so painful that she was about to lose her senses.

It is also like floating on the icy ocean, the stormy waves are undulating, and the waves are higher than the waves.

She could only do her best to struggle in the waves, trying her best to take a breath of oxygen in the gap between the waves.

The coldness, helplessness, pain, and unwillingness had made her dizzy, she lost the instinct to struggle, and gradually sank into the bottomless cold black sea.

The world in front of her is moving away, and the light is getting farther and farther away.

Lucy wanted to catch the remaining light with her own hands, but only the cold sea water flowed mercilessly through her fingertips without a trace of remembrance.

The light in front of her eyes became more and more blurred, and she closed her eyes slowly and helplessly, unable to accept the final arrangement. Transparent teardrops emerged from the corners of her eyes and floated up one by one.

suddenly.

She felt her wrist being strangled, as if it was pulled hard, pulling her back from the weightless and icy sea water.

After a burst of dazzling light flashed, Lucy opened her eyes again.

The glare of the light made her a little uncomfortable, so she could only blink her eyelids hard, trying to offset the strong discomfort.

Dream ring?
Lucy found that the dazzling white light was coming from the strobe in front of her eyes. She raised her hand to take off the super dream ring on her head, and the world in front of her eyes finally became clear.

The soft leather sofa, the luxurious and quiet box, and another super dream ring placed next to it, and the checkered plastic bag under the feet.

She felt a little strange for a moment, and her eyes looked at the scene in front of her as if she had been reborn.

soon.

She remembered, this is Tang Yu's private yacht!

As if her memory had been opened up, Lucy immediately recalled what happened just now. It was clearly right in front of her eyes, but it felt like half a century had passed.

She clearly remembered that she and Tang Yu were experiencing the super dream of the moon in the yacht cabin.

Then I experienced a very real past, and when I woke up, I was already in the Arasaka Laboratory of the Moon Sea of ​​Clouds Base.

Was it just a dream?

But this dream is too real!
Lucy still clearly remembers the dream that seemed like a world away, and what happened to her and Tang Yu in the dream.

Tang Yu?

Her pupils shrank suddenly, and she found that there was no figure of Tang Yu in the cabin, and her eager eyes scanned back and forth a few times.

Hearing movement outside the ship suddenly, with doubts and worries, he got up and walked out of the cabin.

When she came to the deck of the yacht, the scene in front of her was unexpected for Lucy, and she froze on the spot.

She is surrounded by Arasaka Corporation.

I saw an Arasaka armed floating vehicle in the air, emitting a dazzling red laser phalanx to cover the yacht.

There are also Arasaka speedboats around, carrying Arasaka agents wandering above the sea.

On the deck of the yacht stood a group of special forces in Arasaka tactical uniforms, holding weapons and lined up neatly.

In front of the special service team was Tang Yu in a suit and leather shoes.

As if aware of the movement behind him, Tang Yu slowly turned around amidst the flickering lights of various colors, and faced Lucy, whose eyes were full of surprise and panic.

Under Tang Yu's instruction, an Arasaka agent stepped forward and explained sharply.

"You have violated the legitimate interests of Arasaka Company and have been listed as a key supervision target for stealing high-level core secrets of Arasaka Company."

"Cooperating with Arasaka Company's investigation is a principle you must abide by now. If you violate it, Arasaka Company has the right to implement special treatment."

Lucy let the agent put electronic shackles on her hands, and her eyes were still fixed on Tang Yu, full of doubts and surprises.
