Chapter 74: Figure Under the Moon
“Marginal People”
“Another name for cyberpunk.”
Lucy was wearing Ali’s”street kid” jacket and connected her data port. Soon, the virtual pattern of”edgewalker” appeared on the back of the high-tech jacket.
Ali sat on the bed in silence. He had thought of all the poses just now. He didn’t expect Lucy to just take off his jacket and then”paint” some”classic patterns” on his jacket.”
“Weren’t you wondering what I was laughing at just now?”
“I am laughing at your plain coat, so I will teach you a lesson~”
Lucy smiled narrowly. As a”veteran” who traveled to various cities, she had always lived in”fear” because of”escaping”. Naturally, she had never had a boyfriend and did not dare to contact outsiders casually.
However, even if she had not eaten”pork”, she had seen”pigs running”. After years of walking on the road of”dirty” business, Lucy had learned a lot of things, especially the means of teasing”simple people”. She learned it quite well.���She has talent and knows a lot of”little tricks”.
Especially for a”pure” man like Ali, she can handle it easily.
How could Lucy not know that Ali was just”tease” by her? Of course she knew, and she was very sensible. She stopped in time before Ali almost couldn’t help it, and changed the subject with the excuse of”the coat is plain”, which made Ali’s”anger” stuck in his throat, but he only felt”pity” and didn’t feel”angry” after being fooled.
Lucy’s method is quite clever, it can be said that”the devil is one foot high, and the road is ten feet higher”. Anyway, Ali can”tease” her Lucy, so why can’t she”tease” back?
“Hey, do you want it?”
“Oh, they don’t give it to me.”
“Humph~ It’s time for you to have a taste of”uncomfortable”!”
Lucy thought happily in her heart. If Ali knew what she was thinking, he would definitely be possessed by”Ma Chao” and curse Lucy:”Cao thief, traitor, traitor, evil thief!”
However, Lucy said seriously on the surface:”From the moment you helped me steal the chip, you have been considered half a”marginal person”. Although you have many”little secrets” in your heart, it doesn’t matter to me.””
“I won’t pry into your”secrets”, nor do I want to know your”secrets”, Ali, I just hope that we can become good partners.”
“Just like I once promised you, I would”invest in you” and we would cooperate. After this incident with the”Voodoo Gang”, I declare that you, Ali, have successfully”graduated”!”
“Next we are”companions”, but I have some unspeakable reasons, so I cannot appear in public.”
“So we will need you to be responsible for taking on jobs outside, and I will concentrate on assisting you, helping you think, check maps, download data terminals, etc.”
“We don’t have to split the work 70% and 50% respectively. We can work together and split the money 50% and we will definitely make a lot of money. How about it?”
As Lucy spoke, she slowly took off Ali’s”fat” coat, first revealing her”cunning” shoulders, then her arms, and then her graceful waist.
The posture and action of taking off the coat was full of”art of teasing”. Lucy smiled slightly. This”little trick” was used by her naturally, just like dancing on the tip of the boy’s heart.
Ali took the coat handed to him by Lucy. He looked at the marginalized pattern”painted” by Lucy on it, and then put the coat back on.
“OK, we’ll split the work 50-50.”
“Done, innocent boys are easy to deal with.”
Lucy was delighted. She silently said”Yes” in her heart and made a”scissor hand” gesture of victory. After all, the”destructive power” of her silky little combo was too great. Who wouldn’t be confused after seeing it?
“Come with me.”
Lucy took Ali’s hand and led him out of the door. The two climbed up the stairs together, one level at a time. Lucy looked very happy. Ali did not resist and let her lead him up.
They opened the worn-out door lock on the roof and came to the rooftop of this”slum”. The moon had risen in the sky, and it did not refuse to send down the moonlight just because”Taiping State” was a barren land. The moon is fair. Its moonlight has always been shining on everyone, on everyone who looks up at it. It brings people a sense of”peace” and”tranquility”. It can also bring Lucy a little”sense of security” in the”panic” of escaping the company’s pursuit.
In those years, she had hidden in dark corners, next to trash cans, under the rocks in the wilderness, avoiding crowds and avoiding everything that threatened her life.
When she was hungry, she would pick up something to eat, and when she was thirsty, she would Just find some water to drink. She used to be weak and was afraid of every sunny day. In every silent night, she could only curl up in a corner where no one could see her and shiver.
Now Lucy has grown up, and she has become”stronger”. Relying on the belief of”wanting to live”, she has changed from a”consumable sent to die by Arasaka Company” to a”senior hacker” with”somewhat strength”. She no longer has to suffer from hunger and cold like she did when she was a child, and she no longer needs to curl up in an empty corner and shiver.
But until now, she can only look at the”bright” moonlight to comfort her tired body and mind, and make her feel”alive”.
This is also the reason why Lucy is obsessed with the”moon” and eager to set foot on the”top of the moon”. What she wants is not the”moon itself”, but the”sense of security” that was extremely important and precious to her in her”childhood”.”！
“Ali, do you think the moonlight is beautiful?”
At night, hidden on a rooftop in the slums of Taiping Prefecture, Ali and Lucy enjoyed the feeling of the moonlight on their bodies.
Lucy looked at Ali, and she slowly talked about the beauty of the moon, her”wish” to go up to the moon and take a look, and her”longing for the future”, but she never talked about the”suffering” she had suffered.
To Lucy, Ali is now”one of her own”, and after experiencing the”Voodoo Gang” together, Lucy and Ali can be said to have a”life-long friendship”, not to mention that Ali also agreed to”cooperate” with her, which made Lucy open her heart to Ali. Ali did not interrupt, but just looked at the moon with Lucy, quietly listening to Lucy talk about her wishes, and only nodded and answered until Lucy finished speaking.
“Yes Lucy, that moonlight is beautiful”
“Compared to you, I am actually luckier. I have a sister who loves me, and friends I can trust with my life. My life has been going smoothly since I came to Night City.”
“I’m not saying this to show off or prove anything, I just think it’s time to reveal some of my situation to you. I’ve seen the”Night Walker” in Bad Land, and I’ve also seen the”Meat Grinder” in Arasaka.””
“I have walked through Heywood and visited Little Chinatown. I have looked up from under Arasaka Tower and dreamt of the view of me killing my way through Arasaka Tower.”
“I have seen people living a life of luxury in Night City, but what I have seen more often are the souls who are constantly trying to escape from Night City.”
“I have also seen people sitting on plastic chairs on the rooftop, in the dark night accompanied by the breeze, whispering, chatting with a”dead ghost” with a”silver hand”, and finally holding a pistol to their head.”
“like this”
“With a bang”
“Just to get out of this hell.”
Ali took out the”Malorian Overture” revolver from his pocket and put it against his forehead, just like the”V who committed suicide” in the game.
“Ah Li, you……”
Listening to Ali’s”earth-shattering” words, Lucy was a little confused. She looked at Ali’s indifferent expression, which was extremely dazzling under the moonlight. For some reason, Lucy believed it, even though what Ali said was”unrealistic” and”extremely outrageous”, but Lucy still believed it.
This was a feeling, a very real feeling, like a wise man who had experienced a lot and saw through the future talking about the past slowly, so real that Lucy didn’t think Ali was lying to her.
“Sorry, Lucy, the scene brought back some emotions, and I couldn’t help but say a little too much.”
Ali put the pistol back into the gun bag on his waist. He came to the edge of the balcony. In front of him was the”bottomless abyss” between the buildings. Ali looked at the crowd of people below who were the same size as”ants” and said jokingly:”You know what, Lucy, don’t think you can’t do it.”
“Whenever you feel discouraged and doubt yourself, just go out for a walk, and you will become a”pedestrian””
“Haha, if it’s really cold, you will be fined for using puns”
“And, look over there.”
Lucy approached Ali and pointed at the people struggling in the slums below, walking hurriedly with their heads down and their faces covered in dirt.
“Those”pedestrians” are also”walking””
“They can only”walk”””
“Wow Lucy, are you a bitch? You made my positive words so negative.”
“It’s better for you to keep this kind of”chicken soup for the soul” for yourself. Rather than”drinking chicken soup”, I want to know more about what your wish is, Ali?”
“My wish, well… let me think about it.”
“Buy a car and a house, marry a wife and have children, have three wives and four concubines, have many wives and concubines, party every night, work day and night……”
“Wait, wait! Ah Li, that’s enough! There’s no need to say more! You pervert!”
“You wanted to hear it, don’t blame me.”
��Xi hit Ali on the chest in a rage. The warm and cozy”confession” was ruined by Ali’s words, but Ali just shrugged indifferently.
He is an honest man!
He loves to tell the truth, and he only tells the truth!
“Wait, Lucy, what do you see there?”
Ali suddenly pointed to the sky in panic.
Seeing this, Lucy immediately became alert and looked in the direction that Ali pointed, but there was nothing there, only a”bright moon” emitting a little light.
“Lucy, I will take you to the moon!”
Just when Lucy looked around for”danger”, Ali suddenly gave Lucy a promise, a solemn promise!
Witnessed by the moon, Ali stood in front of Lucy and looked into each other’s eyes. Lucy’s lips moved slightly, and the moonlight illuminated Ali’s eyes, which were extremely firm. He was not joking, he was serious!
“But the clouds were too thick, blocking the moonlight”
“But the dark clouds will dissipate one day!”
“Lucy, tell the world that from now on, you have a guardian angel!”
“You bastard.”
Lucy’s heart softened in an instant.
Just when Ali wanted to say something more, a pair of jade hands grabbed his collar and pulled him to bend over, and then Lucy’s warm lips kissed him.
They exchanged”heartfelt” kisses under the moonlight.
The tip of the tongue and the feeling were intertwined with each other.
This is Night City, where the most luxurious thing is dreams, and the cheapest thing is human life.
Ali accompanied Lucy to the”Voodoo Gang”. Even though he didn’t have any implants, he stood in front of Lucy without hesitation, giving encouragement and a way out.
He would rather face the entire city with one gun. The”Voodoo Gang” was reluctant to leave Lucy and never said a word of”anger”.
He had been telling Lucy that he was strong and he could do it. He would also point to the passers-by in the distance and tell Lucy that she could do it too, and she could live the life she wanted!
Now Ali made another confession that hit the soul, and Lucy’s lips curved. She was not a 17-year-old high school student who would drag on for a long time for a kiss.
So Lucy was impulsive, and she took the initiative to kiss him, because in Night City, love must be done immediately, and delaying for a second is a waste of life!
“Ali, you can become a legend. I think you can become a legend.”
“But do you know where all the legendary figures of Night City gather?”
“In the cemetery!”
Ali held Lucy’s waist to help her stand steady, while Lucy held Ali’s cheek with her hands. Her eyes were filled with tears.
“I don’t want you to die.”
At the same time, at Ali’s house.
Female V was lying on the bed, panting, and she immediately had a bad feeling in her heart.
Because she”re-” dreamed that her younger brother secretly kissed another woman behind her back, and kissed her on her bed. She also dreamed that she caught her younger brother Ali in bed.
Female V remembered that she was not angry in her dream, and she even asked the”couple” in the room:”Brother, is it the wrong time for me to come?”
Then her younger brother stretched out an arm on the bed and said to her shamelessly:”No, sister, I think you are here at the right time!”
Then female V accepted it. She actually accepted it”naturally” in her dream, and then the three of them even lay in bed together!
And they slept soundly!
“No!!!”
“Why did I have such a dream? Is my head too hot? What on earth am I thinking about?”
Female V rolled around like crazy on Ali’s bed. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something. Female V opened the curtains and looked up at the sky outside:”Fuck, how come it’s dark already?”
She slept from morning till night, which made her sad. She finally got a day off this month, but she fell asleep before she could enjoy it. Even if she wanted to sleep, she shouldn’t sleep on the bed. She should sleep on her brother’s abdominal muscles. Sleeping for a whole day in vain is a waste of youth and life!
Female V wanted to cry but had no tears. She lifted Ali’s quilt to find some comfort. Although she had just rolled on the bed, she had forgotten.
As soon as she lifted the quilt, Ali was not in the bed as expected. Female V sighed. These days she was used to little The younger brother is not in bed anymore. No, why hasn’t Ali gone home when it’s already dark? Doesn’t the school only have one morning class? Logically, Ali should go home in the afternoon.
Although Ali is going to”Jack Wells” for training, it’s already dark outside, and the moon is hanging high in the sky. What kind of training requires training so late at night and not going home?
Exercise in bed? Did
Jack sleep with Ali?
No, Jack is a straight man. He has Misty, and his younger brother Ali is also a straight man. These days, her female V has verified it herself, and verified it several times.
“Shit, there’s something wrong with my brain.”
“It’s all because the crappy job at Arasaka is too tiring, it’s caused me to have a nervous breakdown.”
Female V shook her dizzy head violently, her eye prosthesis flashed, her brain activated the call function, and then she called”Jack Wells”.
“Hello, Jack, I’m the awesome V”
“Why hasn’t my little brother come home yet?”
“Um… is that so… Yes, yes, that’s right, Ali is tired from training with his buddies, yes, yes, he is really too tired and has fallen asleep in my house.”
“After all, you know, old Jack is so big, the amount of physical training is not something that ordinary people can bear. Besides, brother Ali is weak, so I will let him rest and sleep at my house for a night. Anyway, we are all brothers and don’t mind such a small matter. Let’s do this, I will let him go home tomorrow morning.”
On the other side, Jack Wells received a call from Female V.
Don’t worry, Ali, Female V will take care of it for you.
