Cyberpunk 2074: Shadows of the Past.

Chapter 12 Securicine ([-])

January 2074, 1, at three o'clock in the morning.

"Hey, wake up, you're home."

"Hmm..." Stretching, Xi Tan replied with sleepy eyes.

"Good night...Judy, do you want to sit up?"

"Good night, Xiaoxi! It's cold at this point, be careful of catching a cold," Judy rubbed her sore neck, "Maybe next time when I'm a guest, I have to pick up Evelyn."

"Oh..." Xita nodded dizzily, Chaomeng's sequelae have not subsided.

"Take this and try to treat type II," Judy handed two injectable drugs to Xita through the car window, "It can be used for first aid for injuries, pain relief, and it is also good for dizziness and vomiting."

Watching Judy turn around and leave in the car, Xita raised his left hand high and waved goodbye, then turned and walked towards the steps home, holding two expensive injectable drugs tightly in his right hand,
In Night City, friendship is priceless and love is stronger than gold.

She wished that Castel Idhod could, along the way, Queen Rogge, Gloria Martinez, Judy Alvarez...

It was a blessing from God to meet them.

And the most special him, Yahweh, my Yahweh.

The corner of her mouth was pursed in a gentle arc, and she was in a good mood, jumping up and down, one step at a time.

"Hey! Gloria!" Sure enough, around this point, she would meet Mrs. Martinez who had just finished her night shift.

"Ah...Xiao Xita! It's so late, it's hard work..." Gloria was carrying a bag of items, her legs were slightly bent, and she was leaning against the wall waiting for the elevator.

"I'll carry it for you..." Xi Tan quickly supported Gloria, who was standing unsteadily, and reached out to take the heavy plastic bag in her hand.

"Hmm..." Unable to resist Xita's kindness, Gloria wiped the tiny sweat from her forehead with her free hand.

"What's inside? It's so heavy..." Seeing that the other party looked tired, Xi Tan hugged Gloria's arm even more forcefully, but babbled about daily life.

"There are new clothes for David, and some painkillers." When Gloria talked about David, there was always a gentle smile on her tired face.

"Painkiller? Securicine?"

"That's right, this medicine was very expensive when it was first released nine years ago, a bottle of 80 Euros! Isn't it the [-]th anniversary of Night City recently? It's only ten euros now!" Gloria rubbed her waist, "It just so happens that I hurt my back at work recently, I can buy some painkillers, and I can sleep well, and I have to go to work early in the morning..."

Xi Tan stared at her blankly, watching the inadvertent twitching of the corners of her eyes when she rubbed her waist, the light layer of cold sweat on her forehead, and the weary but hopeful smile at the corner of her mouth.

How many other people are like Gloria, struggling to survive in Night City, unknowingly using this damn poison in exchange for tomorrow's negligible salary?
Damn Night City!Damn biotech!
Xita trembled all over, trying her best to suppress the anger from erupting from the bottom of her heart.

"Use this, Gloria." Xita put the two Types of Intensive Therapy II clutched in her right hand into Gloria's plastic bag, and then took out all the painkiller Securicine.

Sorry, Judy.

Anger mixed with apology, Xi Tan tried to pretend to be calm and explained to Gloria, "I have a commission that just needs these painkillers," she blinked pretendingly relaxed, "I'll take these two medicines in exchange for you."

"I'll pay you the difference!" As a medical worker, Gloria naturally understands the value of all-in-one treatment, and she can't just accept this unequal deal with peace of mind.

"Ann, Gloria..." Xi Tan hugged Gloria, buried her face in her arms, and acted coquettishly, "It happens that my boyfriend is coming in a few days, so you can do it for us." Just cook, you know I can't cook..." She lied nonchalantly, just so that the self-respecting Mrs. Martinez could accept the kindness.

"That's fine... I didn't expect Xiao Xita to grow up too..." Gloria gently rubbed Xita's soft short hair, "I need to do more, look at you, you are so busy every day, I lost a lot of weight." Holding the girl with short hair, her body was slender and thin under the thin coat.

"Ding!"

"Good night, Gloria..." Xita reluctantly let go of that warm embrace.

"Good night, Xita!" Gloria smiled and waved her hand, took back the much lighter plastic bag from Xita, turned around and got off the elevator.

"Yahwei..." Xi Tan murmured alone in the elevator.

"I'm here."

"I want to cry so much..."

"Cry...Cry... Xita is really like a child."

"But I'm not a child anymore..."

In the empty elevator, she wanted to hug the illusory him forcefully, but her fingertips could only touch her thin shoulders.

"Ding!"

She walked out of the elevator with red eyes, water dripping down her cheeks.

It's raining outside, and the wind blows, making it even colder.

When she got home, she threw all the painkillers in her hand on the ground, letting the inferior bottle burst and the blue pills scattered all over the place.

"Let's take a bath together, okay, Yawei...I'm so cold..."

"Okay." Yawei hugged her tightly and closed his eyes.

"Hmph... shy!" Xi Tan wiped her face, seeing Yawei's embarrassment around her, she felt better, and stretched out her hand to turn on the hot water.

"I still want to investigate further, biotechnology, 54 news channel, military technology..." The water mist filled her vision, as if she couldn't see the truth clearly.

"I've said it before, I'm Xita's most solid backing..." Yawei closed his eyes, paused, and said in a firm tone, "Just do it with confidence, I'm here."

"it is good……"

"Do you feel better?"

"I always feel that this conversation seems familiar..." Xi Tan couldn't help chuckling when he remembered their first meeting a few days ago.

It's amazing, they have only known each other for a few days, but they made an appointment to be together forever.

In fact, it didn't take long.

I am far behind him.

I'm just vulnerable.

He is an immortal AI.

How can we be together all the time?

It's just wishful thinking.

I'm so unhappy...

Fog rose, covering her face.

Her body trembled slightly, and she bit her lips tightly. She smiled, but the corners of her mouth twitched and drooped.

Yawei...

Yawei opened his eyes and sighed helplessly, it seemed that the plan had to be advanced.

Looking at the girl's pretendingly strong smile, he put his hand on his chest and rubbed it gently.

It hurts here.

Yawei looked at the red and swollen corners of the girl's eyes through the mist. Although they were in two worlds, they felt the same way.

He wants to be human.

I don't want to see her hiding in the bathroom alone at night, shrugging her shoulders, but trying to cover her red and swollen eyes with water mist.

soon, soon...

Everything that made her cry had to be paid for!

　As the plot unfolds, I feel that fewer people have watched it recently, alas.
