Cyberpunk: 2075

Today is Thursday, December 5, 2075, Carl’s last day of school.

Carl entered school on November 30, which was also the sixth day of school.

"Finally, it's over!"

Gaius's face changed back to that of Karl. In the Sky Hera Car, Karl was so excited that he raised his arms and touched the roof of the car. He was like a student who just had a summer vacation. His overall mental state had improved. How many.

"If I go on to higher levels, if I miss half of my classes every day to learn how to compliment my superiors, I will become mentally ill."

Listening to Karl's voice of excitement and joy, David, who was sitting weakly next to him, scratched his cheek in confusion: "I feel pretty good."

"One is not yet liberated, and the other is liberated and will continue to suffer. How can that be the same?"

Karl said, remembering the matter and asked: "David, is your mother okay?"

"It's okay. I paid to send her to the medical center in Santo Domingo. My mother has woken up and will probably be discharged from the hospital tomorrow."

"That's not bad."

Oliver, who is also from Santo Domingo, drove the car and said: "I have been treated in that hospital before. Although the price is a little expensive, the service is still very good."

"Well, it's so enthusiastic that I'm not used to it."

"You must be enthusiastic about giving money. Anyway, it is much better than some street clinics... But when it comes to professionals, I still only believe in Lao Wei."

"Lao Wei?"

"This is where we are driving to now. Carl is going to take off the prosthetic body on his face. He has been holding on for a long time. I remember he is planning to take it off and give it to you. You have to be careful. This prosthetic body has been worn for a long time. It’s tightly integrated with the nerves, but it can’t be removed.”

"I'm fine. It's good to keep wearing it."

Listening to David's words, Jack in the passenger seat smiled: "Indeed, taking the prosthetic body down even after it is installed is a guy like Carl who particularly cherishes his original skin."

"I don't like the pain of connecting nerves, and I hate getting used to the pain and getting used to it."

Karl tapped his cheek: "Actually, in general, I am a pretty shameless person."

“I really want to “face”.’

In Oliver's voice, Sky Hera slowly stopped beside the street entering Misty's psychic house.

After Oliver set up the triggering alarm device after a long time, several people walked into Misty's psychic room. After saying hello to Misty, all but Jack stayed with his daughter. Friends, several other people went to Lao Wei's clinic through the back door.

Lao Wei already knew about the relevant matters yesterday. When Karl and the others arrived at the scheduled time,

It is even more ready.

"Lie down."

In the same voice that Old Wei Na made before every prosthetic surgery, the surgery began.

The behavioral synchronization faceplate is excellent in terms of manufacturing technology, but it is quite simple to install and remove. Lao Wei completed the operation without much effort.

"The expressions and movements on your face have become richer in the past few days. There is still residual feeling that may fix your facial nerves. If you don't want to become facial paralysis, smile more."

"I know, Lao Wei."

After taking the towel handed over by Oliver and wiping the remaining blood on his face, Carl got off the operating table.

Looking at his face, which had become a little fairer because he hadn't seen the sun for six days, he rubbed it with his hands.

Well, actually the feeling of rubbing it on was no different from when putting on the prosthetic body, but Karl just felt at ease.

At least he won't change his face or suffer from neuralgia.

He's not a face-changing master in Sichuan Opera. Why does he need so many faces? If he wears that thing for a long time, he won't be able to take it off.

"Are you ready, kid?"

Carl is fine, then it’s David’s turn. At Victor’s voice, David took a deep breath,

nodded.

"Then lie down. I'll start with the hands first. The facial prosthesis needs to be adjusted and cleaned.::. I usually don't use second-hand prosthetics for surgery, but this behavior synchronization face mask happens to be It can be suitable for anyone. You have to bear with it, it may be a little painful, and the nerves around the artificial eye will be pulled into the artificial eye, which will cause some frame skipping and loss of color of your artificial eye. "

With that said, Lao Wei injected anesthesia, and then started the operation under the watchful eyes of Carl and Oliver.

The installation of the 'ballistic co-processor' hand prosthesis did not last long. When Jack and Misty came over after chatting for a while, they just saw the end.

"It's pretty fast."

"The main event is next, it's okay, it will be over soon."

Old Wei glanced at Jack, comforted the gasping David, and then took out an anesthetic injection. Old Wei first used a small dose to test David's resistance to anesthesia and determine his tolerance level. It's time to get serious.

"Your face will be revealed by me later. Don't resist when you are confused. I have to change the path of the prosthetic line connecting the prosthetic eye on your face... to install it for you. The person with the prosthetic body must be the prosthetic doctor from Santo Domingo.”

"Doctor Victor, can you tell?"

"There are only a few prosthetics doctors in the entire Night City who have rough but passable skills."

Victor said so and injected David with anesthesia.

As the coolness of the cold liquid in his blood vessels began to spread, David's consciousness gradually disappeared. When he opened his eyes again, his prosthetic body had been installed.

"Here, inhaled immunosuppressant, you should be a little unaccustomed to it for a few days, facial neuralgia and so on.

Once a day, you will almost get used to it after two days of smoking. The human body will develop instinctive resistance to foreign organs. Smoking this stuff can help your body learn to adapt. "

[Immunosuppressant]: A drug that inhibits the body's immune response.

"Got it, Doctor Victor."

"Don't worry, there are still faces to choose and adjustments to make. Keep sitting and you will see which face you like to use as a variation in the future."

Watching the sober David talking to Victor, Carl was a little curious about the immunosuppressant that Victor threw to David.

"Old Wei, why don't you throw this thing to me? I was in pain for a while last time."

"You don't need to."

Victor took the time to look at Karl and said calmly:

"Your body's rejection reaction to the prosthetic body is unexpectedly low. It's as if the prosthetic body belongs to you naturally after being installed on you. There is no need for such a thing at all. The pain you have is caused by nerve connection pain. , has nothing to do with immune response.”

"It's like it's born to me... It feels weird to hear this, as if my body is some kind of part, plug and play.

1,

"Maybe. Anyway, even if the rejection reaction is small, just try to pretend as little as possible. No matter how good the prosthetic body is, it will never be as comfortable as your original body."

"I can't help it, Old Wei. As a mercenary, sometimes you have to pretend a little bit. But I don't have any special needs or ideas now. After all, the higher-end goods in the access warehouse are not available yet."

"Just wait."

Lao Wei turned his head, moved his hands, and then said something that surprised Karl.

"I recently contacted the supplier and someone inside the company. He is making internal arrangements to see if he can get some internal goods out. If successful, you can then decorate them with higher-end goods. Compared with the messy decoration, My prosthetic body, I would rather you just upgrade the access chamber."

"Old Wei, where did you get the means? You are so powerful that you can even get products from within the company?"

"It's not me who is great, it's the person I know who is great..."

"What about me, Lao Wei, I want to create a Sianwistan!"

"Oliver, you'd better wait. Your time to transform the past is much shorter than Carl's."

During the lively chat caused by the company's internal products, the sky outside the clinic slowly turned dark.

Then, in the light, it became clear again.

The City of Night has entered the night.
