Chapter 25 Prosthetic Doctor

Watson District, Little Chinatown.

If we go back ten or twenty years, this urban area was once the beating heart of Night City and the second most prosperous area after the city center.

But it all ended in 2069, when Arasaka Corporation came to Night City and brought a financial crisis to the city.

In order to thank the Arasaka Company for its help in making Night City truly an internationally independent metropolis, then-mayor Ryan, the congressman who had asked the Arasaka Company for assistance when the New American Federation sent troops to surround Night City.

, and with a wave of his hand, one of the four major areas in the city was assigned to Arasaka Company for management.

Today, that area has been renamed Arasaka Beach. It is an excellent bay and belongs exclusively to Arasaka Company.

Precisely because of its giant-like influence and status, Arasaka Company bloodbathed major companies and factories in the Watson District during the business war. As a result, many companies closed down and countless people were unemployed and displaced.

As if overnight, Watson District changed from a prosperous urban area to the poorest area in Night City.

Lin Mo is very familiar with this urban area, because at the beginning of the game, the protagonist's activity area is within this Watson area. In a sense, it can be called a novice village in the game.

Their destination, Little Chinatown, is also one of the four major areas in Watson District.

Like Japan Street, it is a general term. It is said to be a "street", but in fact it is a larger area.

The remaining two major areas are the northern industrial area and the Kabuki area. The former is the territory ruled by the Uzumaki Gang, and the latter is a more prosperous commercial area.

As the name suggests, Little Chinatown is home to a large number of Asian immigrants, mainly Chinese. However, compared with Japan Street, this area does not have the blessings of Japan Street. This is a poor area of ​​Night City.

Of course, from some aspects, most areas of Night City are actually poor areas.

If there is anything special about this place, it is that Night City's medical center is located here.

Every time he comes to Little Chinatown, Lin Mo will feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity. Most of the style of this area has been replaced by an Asian ethnic feel. There are many shops with Chinese names in the streets and alleys.

Finally, they took a Delamain taxi and arrived at Bradbury Street in the Little Chinatown area.

There are not many pedestrians on the street. There are only a few of the most common sex clubs and Mewtwo Experience Centers here.

These two most popular business assets can be said to be everywhere in Night City, followed by bars and casinos.

On Bradbury Street, among so many shops, a particularly unique shop suddenly appeared.

The outside of the store is decorated with fantasy elements of occultism, and the sign on the top of the door reads "Misty's Secret".

"Psychic room? Mr. Lin, is it possible that this prosthetic doctor is also a fortune teller?"

Kitagawa Hao picked up his unconscious sister from the back seat and came here under the leadership of Lin Mo.

When he saw that the store in front of him was actually a psychic house, even though he had been in Night City for so many years, he couldn't turn his head around.

Is it possible that this doctor is not only responsible for treating patients, but also plays a guest role as a mourner when the patient unfortunately passes away, taking out several occult books and reading obscure eulogies?

"No, the person we want to see is in the back alley behind the store. There is a basement there." Lin Mo walked up and opened the store door.

The atmosphere inside the store has a dark purple color scheme. Compared with the golden sunset outside, which is setting in the evening, this place is more like the home of a mystical master who is far away from the world. The dim light makes people daydream, and the orange light makes people feel...

warmth.

As soon as he walked in, Kitagawa Hiroshi smelled the incense in the store and saw the orange candles placed in various places.

A woman was leaning over slightly, providing spiritual counseling services to a customer. The customer was leaning on a soft reclining chair, and the woman was sitting beside her, gently talking to him to resolve his worries.

Kitagawa Hiroshi looked at the young woman. Apart from her, there was no one else in the store, which meant that this young woman was the owner of this psychic store.

Before entering, he expected to see an old lady with gray hair and various strange ornaments on her head.

The woman's face cannot be said to be too beautiful, but she has a unique style. She has dark blond fluffy short hair and a typical white face.

The clothes he wears are also quite strange. He wears a ring around his neck, a light blue off-shoulder long-sleeved shirt, and dark purple lipstick on his lips. He looks mysterious but also full of melancholy.

temperament.

With the last few gentle whispers, the guest looked obviously relaxed and fell asleep leaning on the lounge chair.

Misty turned around and looked at the two uninvited guests who entered the door. After scanning them once, her eyes finally rested on Lin Mo.

"Lin Mo, why are you here?" There was some surprise in her tone.

"It's a long story. I'll tell you later. Sister Misty, I need to find Uncle Victor now to check on this sister's physical condition."

Lin Mo turned to look at Beichuan Hao.

Following his line of sight, Misty also noticed the girl Kitagawa Hao was carrying, and she covered her mouth and whispered:

"Poor girl... Victor should be able to do something. He has no guests right now and is watching TV there. You guys go over first."

"Thank you, madam, for your help." Kitagawa Hao hurriedly carried his sister on his back and walked into the back alley from the back door of the store.

When he came to the back alley, he immediately saw a staircase leading to the underground and walked down it without much hesitation.

Lin Mo wanted to follow him, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was not necessary because he had already sent a message to Victor in advance.

Even if you follow the past, you will just be an irrelevant bystander.

"What happened, can you tell me sister?" Misty walked up to Lin Mo, patted his shoulder and asked softly, with concern in her eyes.

Lin Mo did not hide anything and told Misty everything that happened today.

This gentle elder sister with a mysterious temperament is no outsider in his eyes.

As the main supporting characters that occupy a lot of plots in the game, Misty, like Dr. Victor, can both be called relatives of the protagonist V in the game, even though they are not related by blood.

Therefore, since he traveled to this world and was adopted by Xu Wanxue, and when he grew up and gained the autonomy to go out with his sister, Lin Mo also tried every means to contact these two main supporting characters.

The reasons are also very simple, for example, your basic prosthetic body is malfunctioning, or you need to implant the latest smart link, help upgrade learning software, etc.

As for why we should make friends with these two people, the reason is actually very simple.

These two characters are positioned as pure good people in the game. It will definitely not hurt to make friends. They may even be able to connect with the game character V in the future.

Even in a city like Night City where humanity has been wiped out, it is not an exaggeration to call them saints based on their brilliance of humanity.

Now Lin Mo didn't know how many times he had come into contact with the two of them. They went back and forth and visited more than once, and the relationship between them was enough to be called acquaintances.

"So that's it. For that gentleman, it was an unforeseen disaster that my sister was suddenly taken away. Fortunately, you came to help, Lin Mo. My sister is proud of you."

Misty's face looked a little depressed, as if she felt sad for Kitagawa Hiroshi's misfortune.

"By the way, Lin Mo, would you like my sister to help you with your divination? Don't worry, it's free of charge." Misty suddenly cheered up and took out a deck of tarot cards.

Lin Mo's expression changed, and he quickly waved his hands and said: "Forget it, Sister Misty, I don't really want to do divination right now. I'll wait until next time."

"Hey, you say that every time, do you dislike my fortune-telling?" Misty sighed.

Lin Mo repeatedly rejected:

"No, it's absolutely impossible. Sister Misty's tarot card divination is definitely the most effective I've ever seen, but I really don't want to experience this kind of divination...it always feels weird."

What a joke, as a rare occultist in the game, Misty’s divination skills can even predict the player’s future ending in the plot. In other words, it predicts the future fate of the game character V!

He is simply a master fortune teller!

The main reason why Lin Mo didn't want to do divination was because he had a better simulator, and he really wasn't interested in this magical metaphysical technique.

What if Misty predicts his original fate, which is the ending of being cut off by the scavenger in the simulator experience...

He didn't even know how to feel when facing Misty.
