When the super dream ends, everyone who experienced the dream returns to reality.
But there was still silence in the small room of the apartment. Lorna withdrew from the group and broke off the empathy. She stood up from the tatami floor, drank the unfinished can of beer, walked to the window and looked silently at the rainy and foggy night sky outside.
"Are you going to Licai's place tonight?" Gu He also stood up.
He wanted to go to the fish pond and let the sad Miss Sakai return to her own body.
It doesn't feel good to him either. If Lorna wants to go there too, let's go together.
"I won't go now." Lorna thought and drank all the beer in one breath, "I'm leaving."
Her mood was very chaotic. The past events of Pandora and Fulin and all kinds of emotions were still flashing through her heart from time to time, which made her not want to be with others. She wanted to leave a little bit and huddle in her leather coat by herself.
"Lorna..." Gu He called out, "No matter what, it's not your fault."
"Did I say that? It's not about who is right or wrong, it's not about this... let's go."
Lorna opened the sliding window in front of her, kicked off the tatami, and jumped out of the window. Gu He's exclamation came from behind.
But she was already familiar with the terrain, and with the special skills of a second-level hunter programmer, she quickly landed on the edge of the second-floor window, stepped on it, and jumped to the lower roof of the store ahead.
The windows in Yakuza's apartment are designed like this.
In the night rain, Lorna jumped over a dazzling neon sign and landed firmly on the main street of Shouhui Street.
Even in the middle of the night, it was still raining lightly, and the streets were still not quiet. There were still drunkards, call girls and gang members walking shoulder to shoulder. They were all nocturnal animals.
Lorna knew very early on that this was a messy city, and everyone was messing around, almost everyone.
No one can fucking tell anyone else that you can't mess around.
Especially for people who have been through some messy things.
Do you blame yourself or Pandora? No, it's not that.
Lorna walked for a while and stood at a street intersection, looking at the flickering neon signs for a long time.
There are also those advertising screens, banners, lanterns and curtains, all colorful and mottled.
“Seafood Izakaya, the best in Kabukicho, fresh and carefully selected ingredients, absolutely satisfying, you can enjoy 10% off if you make a reservation on the same day”
It was a large izakaya, not comparable in size to a fish pond, with 390 seats.
She could see each word clearly, then looked at the price list on the screen, and immediately murmured: "Fuck, the price has increased again."
How is this city different from when she was a child? There is no difference. It seems that everything is stagnant and cannot be changed.
There's just that price, which keeps going up, up, up, just like the rent in the basement keeps going up.
In Liuguang City, everything is expensive.
The relationship between Dora and Flynn is the most expensive. It is so expensive that it can kill them, either today or tomorrow. Lorna has not had that experience, but she has seen a lot. She has also experienced bone-blood sports and small...
Rat Pack.
Bonds are all about bonds.
Once people are fettered, their steps will become slow, their brains will become dull, and stupidity will occur.
Bonds, old and new, are floating and falling like phantom limb pain.
Lorna picked up her steps and walked again, walking endlessly. She didn't know if her mind was really unclear. She gradually came to a place. More than a day had passed since the fire, but there still seemed to be a burning smell in the air.
She looked at the rows of large and small warehouses over there, and the neon signboard of Red Rain House was emitting red, blue and white light.
The security here should be strengthened a lot, especially in the middle of the night, there are patrols on duty walking around.
Lorna put her hands in the pockets of her black leather coat and walked straight over.
Soon, the leader woman in a windbreaker uniform spotted her, stopped and waited for her to pass by. When she looked at him, she felt that he was a guy who had worked in the Wilderness Mobile Task Force before, and he had that kind of style.
"Is Elizabeth Sterling here? I'm looking for her. My name is Lorna Ludd." Lorna just said.
"Miss Sterling is resting over there in the main warehouse." The leader of the team was suspicious, looking at her with serious eyes.
"Help me pass the message." Lorna is not here to cause trouble, "I'll wait for her over there."
But before that, this team of security personnel inspected her with bank dog's precision instruments and were able to roughly confirm that she was not a member of the gang or an actor, and there were no traces of the fluctuation of extraordinary power on her body.
After the other party finished their work, Lorna walked to the parking area on the side and looked at the starless and rainy night sky.
She took out the lighter and cigarette case from her pocket, took out a cigarette with a long filter tip, shielded it from the rain with her palm, lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, and exhaled the smoke, which only made the night rain more misty.
Not long after waiting, Lorna saw a figure walking out from the door of the main warehouse of the Red Rain House.
Elizabeth Sterling, wearing an orange trench coat, with medium-short red hair, holding the electronic sword, walked over here, followed only by the security leader woman just now.
When the two of them came here, Lorna blew out another puff of smoke and asked directly: "Do you know Sid Redco?"
Their last street fight was a month and a half ago, and they haven't had any interactions since then.
In the middle of the night, Lorna Ludd suddenly appeared like this, but Elizabeth was not surprised.
But she just thought that the other party came because of the fire at Red Rain House. Sid Leikuo?
"We know each other," Elizabeth said matter-of-factly, "but not friends."
"Oh." Lorna nodded, looking at those blue eyes with her light green eyes, "I want to fuck her."
Elizabeth was slightly startled, and then said: "I want to get rid of her too. She was involved in the arson case two days ago."
"That's just right. She killed a friend of a friend of mine." Lorna couldn't help but smile and flicked the ashes from her cigarette. "The man asked her for help and went to a party. He came back with a corpse. His head was empty and everything was taken out.
What’s wrong with the light?”
Lorna noticed that following her words, the face of the leader woman changed slightly, and there seemed to be a trace of sadness in her serious eyes.
Why, you also have some grievances with Sid Lekuo, right? It's all thrown together.
"Give me some recall data about Sid Reiko." Lorna looked at Elizabeth Sterling, "I can use it."
She didn't know what the other person would think, whether he would think Lorna Ludd was a psycho.
Never mind it, this is a messy city and anyone can do whatever the fuck they want.
"How much do you want and how can I give it?" Elizabeth didn't hesitate. Judy next to her looked at her with a frown.
"Just a little bit will do. It can prove that I know someone who can get close to Sid Lekuo. There is no need to reveal who you are."
Lorna threw the nearly burnt cigarette butt to the ground, raised her cowboy boots and stepped on it, extinguishing the sparks from the cigarette butt.
"You can do it yourself and then give it to me, or right now, I can directly connect you with neural intrusion, and you can think about Sid Redco as hard as you can, and I can collect the data through information turbulence. It is not as good as the skills of a psychiatrist.
It’s not really a personality material, just some random data.”
"Miss Sterling..." Judy slowly reminded her that brain-to-brain contact is dangerous.
"Connect it." Elizabeth nodded to Lorna, "Get it done."
They have not met each other a few times, they are not familiar to each other, and their identities are naturally contradictory.
But at this moment, there is a kind of understanding.
Lorna didn't hesitate, activated the neural invasion program, raised her right hand and released some blood threads from her body, connected them from between Elizabeth's red hair, and established a brain-to-brain connection.
Almost immediately, some confusing messages came over from the other party, and some inexplicable pictures flashed through Lorna's mind.
There is a woman wearing a broad-shouldered formal suit, Sid Redco, who is the memory data related to Elizabeth...
With a sudden movement, Lorna collected these data into the database of chaotic information flow.
That's far less than the capacity of the container, but it can still store a few things and use it as ammunition.
This isn't personality material, it's just like junk data.
She didn't take more. Taking this little thing didn't pose a threat to Elizabeth, but it was enough to explain something.
"Thank you." Lorna disconnected the nerve connection, looked at the blue eyes again, then turned around and walked away.
From beginning to end, Elizabeth didn't ask or say anything. Lorna Ludd was her friend.
And now, they have a common enemy.
Elizabeth's orange trench coat was blown by the wind and rain, while Lorna, who was wearing black leather pants over there, walked further and further away.
Lorna left Red Rain House and walked towards the Licai Club. She was not in a hurry and just walked slowly. By the time she arrived at Licai, it was almost dawn.
She entered Reicai, which was busy all night, went up to the second floor to find Kumiko Ayane, and soon went down from the storage room to the basement.
It was very quiet in the spacious basement, and the noisy singing and dancing above could not be heard. The Kitano family was still asleep.
Lorna didn't make much noise, and walked straight to the compartment in front of the forbidden room. She saw Pandora sitting on the chair in front of the desk in the forbidden room, not sleeping, or perhaps already awake.
"Dora Lawsley," Lorna called, "we have seen your happy dream."
Pandora's expression suddenly changed as she turned to look at her. She suddenly stood up from her chair, her black eyes burning with complex flames.
"Money can't solve your problem." Lorna said, "Revenge Fulin, think more about this."
Pandora was silent for a long time, then sneered, "Revenge? How do you know that I am not seeking revenge?"
"You just think there is no hope of revenge, so you do those crazy things. Self-destruction is easier."
Lorna chuckled and pulled her cheeks, not really laughing, "I know what it's like to live with an enemy. It would be more bearable. I used to regard your father as my enemy."
"Who is my enemy? Whose revenge should I avenge? My parents' revenge? Fulin's revenge?"
Pandora's face changed, and she walked to the visiting window of the forbidden room, "You just want those key program segments to resurrect Rodon Ludd, right? So many people died for his life."
"So I have always said that he is a bastard." Lorna has already made her decision, "I am going to find other programs to save him. He has to live now. Money alone cannot make Fulin's dream meaningful.
"
"Don't talk about Fulin and my dreams, you don't understand..." Pandora's voice was hoarse.
"Let's not talk nonsense, come on, pick up and show you some data." Lorna raised her right palm and released her nerve blood thread, "If you find it boring and want to offend my personality, then we will die together.
."
Pandora looked at her solemnly, then suddenly stretched out her hand through the gap of the viewing window, caught the blood thread, and connected the nerves.
It's useless for her to attack Lorna Ludd here. She's trapped here. Even if she kills him, she can't escape.
Suddenly, some information and data came from the nerves, entered the container, and quickly entered the brain. Pandora saw the face of a woman. She could sometimes see this woman on TV or in fashion magazines, Sid Redco.
And this kind of information data, talking to Sid Ray at a closer distance...
The blood-thread was disconnected, Lorna put down her right palm and looked at Pandora with a complicated expression.
"Let's go chop off Sid Redco's head together," Lorna said.
Pandora didn't speak, just silent, thinking about something.
The eyes that are not covered by smoky makeup are a bit restrained.
At this time, Gu He hurried over. After sending Miss Sakai back to the fish pond tonight, he fell asleep on the sofa in the living room of the fish pond. Just now, he was woken up by Miss Caiyin who came to the fish pond and asked him to come here to take a look.
See what's going on with Lorna.
Fortunately, he felt relieved a little along the way and did not get into a fight.
"Flynn can't die in vain..." Pandora said blankly, "You can't die in vain, that's what I always meant..."
"That's not what I meant." Lorna knew that the other party was interested, so she said to Gu He who came over: "It's so damn ridiculous. The daughter of Rawdon Ludd and the daughter of the executioner Lawsley are going to
Mixed together, what the hell, but believe it or not, this is a messy city."
Regarding Lorna's statement, Pandora, who looked deep and confused, did not deny it.
Gu He didn't understand a little, but he understood the key points. Seeing Lorna turn around and leave, he had no choice but to follow her.
Lorna left Licai's basement and walked all the way through the lively hall, from the main entrance of the club to the street outside, where the dawn sky and the neon lights of the rainy night were intertwining.
Some of the ghosts of the night are dissipating, while others are rising again.
Lorna looked at the gradually brightening sky and the increasingly noisy streets, and said to Gu He who was following her:
"He's just a bunch of bad data, right? In a dozen years, everyone will be almost the same age."
Thinking of that funny scene, she couldn't help but laugh and shook her head, "No, I have to save him before he is so young. Otherwise, if I have to call someone younger than me dad in the future, then
You have to be embarrassed to death."
Gu He raised his brows and his heart jumped. This...
Lorna made a decision, she wanted to rescue Rawdon Lourdes.
He didn't know what this meant and what impact it would have on him.
But it seems that Lorna wants this shining city to once again experience the torrential rain of bone-blood sports.
"I hope that one day," she said softly, raising her head, "Dora and Phryne's dream of joy will not be so expensive."
