Chapter 42: Lao Wei's Clinic

Night has fallen, and even though most people cannot sleep peacefully at night in Night City, what other choices do they have?

People without money, power, or strength are destined not to have even their own lives.

The long night passed by where the rich had a good time and drank a lot, while the poor just fooled around.

Lucy sat by the bed, quietly waiting for a call.

"Dududu——"

A phone call came in quickly, and it turned out to be her senior Qi Wei, who was also Lucy's guide.

"Sorry, I just finished my work." Qiwei's usually calm voice came from the communication.

"It's okay." Lucy shook her head and said, "Senior, the one I sent you - did you see it?"

"I saw it."

"Then what do you think, senior?"

"What did I think...well...I actually don't have much idea."

"..."

Feeling the silence on the other end of the phone, Qiwei sighed and said, "Lucy, do you still remember what I told you?"

"Remember..." Lucy was silent for a moment, then said, "In Night City, don't trust anyone."

"Then why do you choose to ask me now? Assuming this is true, how can you guarantee that I will not be a betrayer as well?"

"And what he did in the team is obvious to all. He has saved the team so many times. Even if it is just to gain trust, he won't have to risk his life so many times, right?"

Lucy fell silent again.

After a long time, she slowly said: "It's true that I'm a little impatient. Alas... I just feel a little bit... a bit... once I encounter Arasaka's situation..."

"I understand. No matter what happens next, all you have to do is protect yourself. Lucy, do you understand? It's already good for people like us to take care of ourselves. Remember to stay calm at all times."

Qiwei paused for a moment and finally said: "As for this matter, I will help you pay attention to it."

"Well, anyway, thank you very much, Qiwei."

Qiwei hung up the phone and watched a short video sent by Lucy.

In the video, Bai Xing and Das are talking.

Qiwei watched the entire video. Due to Lucy's caution, many details could not be traced.

But even if it's just this, it's enough to make people start to worry in Night City.

What's more, Lucy avoided Arasaka like a snake.

Qiwei turned off all the panels, came to the bedside, lit a cigarette and stuffed it into the small hole of the prosthetic mask.

The rising smoke blurred my vision.

"Are you going to let me experience betrayal again..."

——————————

Bai Xing stayed at home, completely unaware of Lucy and Qi Wei's suspicions. He was also on the phone.

This is a phone call with Regina.

"Hello? Bai Xing, what do you want to see me for so late?"

"You're not asking me to find you a job urgently again, are you? Which kid do you want to train this time?"

Regina's voice sounded sleepy and lazy at first, and then turned into teasing.

"No, this time I want to consult you on something, about the prosthetic body." Bai Xing said seriously.

"Huh? Are you a little confused? If you want to know about the prosthetic body, why don't you go to the prosthetic doctor?"

"The main reason is that I don't know any reliable prosthetics doctors, and don't you study cyberpsychiatry? So I wonder if you know something about this aspect-"

"Uh-huh, now I can confirm that your mind is indeed confused." Regina yawned and then said, "Let's do this - I will recommend a prosthetic doctor to you, and you go find him. I'm going to bed.

, and I hope you won’t call me at night again!”

"Dududu..."

The next moment, Regina hung up the phone, and Bai Xing checked the message Regina sent him.

"Victor Victor...?"

Regina's message contained a photo of a man, a muscular man with eyes and a detailed address attached.

"Are you in Little Chinatown... Let's go and have a look tomorrow..."

Early the next morning, Bai Xing set off early from home without making any stops along the way and arrived directly at his destination.

"Misty's secret?"

Bai Xing looked at the name of the store in front of him in confusion. Whether it was the name of the store or the overall style of the store, it had nothing to do with the prosthetic doctor.

I double-checked the address Regina gave me and found that it was indeed the right place.

He had no choice but to push the door open and walk in with hesitation.

"Hello."

As soon as he walked in, Bai Xing saw a girl who was dressed in a very special style... well... just very special.

The other party had short hair, thick smoky makeup on his face, and was wearing a blue semi-off-the-shoulder top, a combination of hot pants and fishnet stockings.

"This gentleman is not here for divination, right?"

"Um, who are you?"

Misty pointed outside and said casually: "As you can see, this store is called 'Misty's Secret', so I am Misty."

"Okay, Misty...ma'am? I'm here to see Victor Victor."

"Come with me." Misty waved to Bai Xing.

The two of them pushed open the iron door at the back and went all the way down.

"This is Lao Wei's clinic. I won't go in. I wish you all the best."

After arriving at the door, Misty said hello to Shirahoshi and returned to her own store.

Bai Xing pushed open the door of the clinic and saw the man in the photo. At this time, the man was sitting on the chair in front of the computer, looking at the computer screen attentively.

There seemed to be some boxing matches being broadcast there.

Hearing the sound of someone opening the door, Victor took his eyes away from the computer.

"Who are you? Have we met?"

"Uh, my name is Bai Xing... I probably haven't seen it before."

"Oh, you are Shirahoshi? Regina introduced you, right?"

"That's right, Mr. Victor - I came to visit you this time because I actually want to consult you on something."

"Just call me Lao Wei." Victor waved his hand and said, "If you have anything to ask, just say it."

"Okay, old Wei."

"Actually, it's like this. For some reason, I have to install a prosthetic body, but I may also pay the price for it——"

"Hey, look what you're talking about." Victor smiled, "Is there anything in this world that doesn't come without a price?"

"No, it's not the same." Bai Xing said, "The thing is like this -"

Bai Xing began to explain to Victor.

"That's it, I understand."

After listening to all Bai Xing's explanations, Victor pushed up his glasses and said, "Baixing, let me ask you a question first."

"In your opinion, does the part with the prosthetic body still belong to you?"
