Chapter 26: The Destined Moon Walk(1/2)
"Come in." Lucy opened the door to her home and found that there was no movement behind her.
David stood outside the door, his face full of reserve and hesitation.
"It's your first time going to a girl's house? Are you so nervous?" Lucy folded her hands on her chest and put on a bad smile on her delicate face.
"I won't!" David was provoked by her and immediately stepped in.
"I'm nervous just because I'm nervous. There's nothing to hide." Lucy picked up a cigarette and lit it, "Well - after all, you're just a little kid. You've used Sianwestein eight times a day, and you don't even have immunosuppressants.
not sure what it is."
"You! You are always a little kid every day, calling me a little kid, are you big?!" David said unconvinced, "There are still those old posters hanging on the wall..."
"Any comments?"
The voice sounded very cold. Following the voice, David saw a pair of eyes that suddenly became cold. The atmosphere between the two seemed even more awkward than when they first met.
"No, no, no, no objection. I just think the description in the poster is too false. Obviously, so many people died when developing the moon. It is simply a cold prison."
"Do you know a lot?"
"You know...what do you know? It's just something that was taught in Arasaka Academy."
"As expected of a wealthy kid studying at Arasaka Academy."
"certainly not……"
"Not what? Aren't you rich enough to be able to study in that kind of college?"
"Of course not!" David argued, taking a sip of the drink in his hand. "My family has been extremely poor for a long time. I don't have a father, so I rely on my mother to make money alone. Now I still owe a lot of debt.
Still."
"Before this, my mother worked hard to make money in order to send me to Arasaka College, hoping to become a corporate employee one day. This was her biggest long-cherished wish..."
"But I...rejected her like that..."
"Are you regretting it?" Lucy sat sideways on the sofa and looked at David and said, "Since you have done it, why do you still regret it?"
"I don't know... I just think of my mother's expression when I escaped, and I just..."
"But your mother is your mother, and you are you, right? Why regret it for someone else's dream?"
"What is your own dream?"
"My dream..." David looked at the ceiling and fell into confusion. Since he was driven to this point by impulse, he has not thought about a final goal in life.
"Now, Lucy, what's your dream?" he asked.
"Is it mine? Let me show it to you. Come with me."
Lucy took David to lie down on the bed, and then took out a Mewtwo device and handed it to David.
Put on Mewtwo's headband and experience the strong flash of light.
David and Lucy entered the world of Mewtwo.
The heat was coming, and David put his hands on his eyebrows to block the hot sun.
"It's amazing-" Looking at the huge stars in the sky, David couldn't help but admire, "The degree of reality is too high."
"Hmm, if it were really the temperature of the sun, we would all be scorched right now."
Lucy stood aside with one hand on her hip, smiling and watching David explore the world novelly like a child.
Under the gravity of the moon, you can jump very high with a little jump. David jumped step by step, and Lucy couldn't help but follow him after a burst of laughter.
"How do you feel?" She asked David with her hands behind her back.
"marvelous!"
"Yeah, right, right?"
At this time, Lucy is like a little girl, always wanting to share and show off her treasures with the people around her.
The sun tilted the shadows of the two of them, leaving a series of footprints on the sand of the moon.
The girl in front put her hands behind her back, and waved to him restlessly with one little hand.
Should I hold it?
While David was thinking, when he hesitantly reached out his hand, the answer had already been given to him first.
His half-stretched hand was tightly grasped by Lucy, and the two of them jumped up.
At this moment, David only felt that he had activated his prosthetic body by mistake.
Time is so slow.
The lunar rover was flying just like it was on the stretcher before, and there was an indescribable affection in the dust raised. Even without the bright lights in the tunnel, everything seemed so fascinating.
"That's it."
Lucy took David to an open space and sat down. From here, she could see the familiar blue planet.
"This is the first time I have brought someone here." Lucy and David were sitting on the edge of the moon crater, and she was swinging her calves.
"Yes...then why did you bring me here?"
"I don't know, it just feels like this."
Lucy shook her body, and it was obvious that she was happy inside.
"This is my dream, the moon you call, the so-called prison."
"To me, Night City is a prison, so I want to escape from Night City and go to the moon."
"What a dream -"
"Hmm, of course~"
Lucy's voice was a little coquettish, and the huge magic contained in it attracted David all the time.
He turned his head and found that the other party was looking at him with a smile.
David saw her red lips like a crescent moon and her eyes like stars. The stream of light flashing through them was brilliant and magnificent.
Although it was fleeting, it was deeply imprinted in David's mind.
It is the fire that a moth would sacrifice its life to embrace, and it is the light that Kuafu has been chasing throughout his life.
David felt that he might have found his dream, and recreating this treasure was his desire buried deep in his heart at this moment.
——————————
"Then, I'll go back first."
David stood at the door and waved to Lucy inside the room. Lucy sat on the bed and waved to David.
There is no interruption from other people, no unnecessary suspicion, this is a beautiful encounter, a perfect encounter.
"Huh……"
After leaving Lucy's house, David found that he had several unread messages.
He suddenly thought of something, his face suddenly changed, and he tremblingly clicked on the contact's name.
Shirahoshi: Have you arrived?
Bai Xing: Where are the people? Why haven’t they come yet?
Bai Xing: Let me go, right? I'm telling you, you're done!
Bai Xing: Don't let me catch you!
There was a 60-second voice message later. For some reason, David thought it would be better not to listen to it.
"It's over, it's over!"
David, who realized that he was about to die, dared to walk slowly and quickly ran down the street.
Although it is a little late now, this attitude is very important!
Even if you can rush over and apologize, the sooner the better!
Of course, if you ask David what he would do if he could do it all over again, David would tell you without hesitation.
Lucy Sego!
Bai Xing? Who is that? Sorry, I’m not familiar with you.
Although I said this, David still respected his big brother Bai in his heart.
No, he ran for half an hour without stopping once. When he stood panting at the door of Bai Xing's house half an hour later, he felt that his legs no longer belonged to him.
"Brother Bai!"
David didn't care to breathe anymore and quickly opened the door of Bai Xing's apartment.
Behind the bar in the room, I saw a silhouette of a Xiao Xiao sitting there. At his feet were countless cans of beverages that had been crushed after being drunk.
David felt that that might be the fate he would face next.
"Hey, you guys came very early."
