"It will be different if I climb into L's bed. If I'm luckier and give him a child, even if it's an unrecognized illegitimate child, he will be willing to support us with his wealth.

By then, I will live in a big villa, have no worries about food and clothing, and won't have to take a shower in the hail of bullets. Isn't this much better than the "life" you talk about with dignity and freedom? "

"But will that really make us happy?" Pyrrha sighed.

Rebecca stretched her arms and stretched herself. "I quite like him, and he seems to like me too. If I try harder to please him, I should be happy. At least it will be better than the precarious life I am living now."

Pyrrha was speechless for a long moment.

No matter how nicely she puts it, it cannot conceal the fact that the sister wants to avenge her father by selling her body.

As an older brother, he was once again powerless.

"I'm sorry, I'm just a piece of shit..."

Rebecca sighed, she didn't know what to say at this time.

This has nothing to do with whether or not you are a waste. In Night City, ordinary people with no abilities or background are all wastes...

After a while, Pyrrha turned her head with a bitter face: "But if you leave, I will have no one to protect me in the team. Can you bear it...?"

Rebecca sneered: "Don't be ridiculous. With your outspoken and vulgar habits, I dare not take you with me. If one day you make a mistake again, say the wrong thing or look at someone wrong, L and that V with a mantis knife will chop you up directly~"

Pyrrha shuddered and realized that it was true.

He has been silent today because he is afraid that the big shots will dislike his behavior and bring trouble to the team.

But what should he do in the future...

"Either find yourself a companion and keep each other company. Or work on your technical skills and do your job as a technical expert. If that doesn't work... find a girlfriend who is an animal gang member and let her protect you."

The Animal Gang’s…girlfriend?

Can these two nouns be used together?

Pyrrha's eyes went dark...

At 1:30 p.m., the Eternal Life Team returned to the apartment safely.

V originally wanted to make some lunch, but everyone was in a good mood and had no appetite, so they just ate some fruit to get by.

Leo was only thinking about taking a quick shower and removing the evidence of the crime, so he said to everyone, "It is also important to combine work and rest. You just finished installing the prosthetics yesterday, and you carried out the commission today. You should have a good rest in the remaining time. The celebration party will be held at noon tomorrow. Let's observe the reaction of the outside world today."

Everyone agreed with this arrangement.

So, except for Jack who went home to find his mother, everyone else returned to their rooms.

Leo sent them into the elevator, then turned and walked upstairs: "V, I'm going to take a shower first. I always smell like blood."

After going upstairs, he turned back and reminded, "You used Sian Westin today, don't rush to take a shower. I'll help you see if you need to apply the medicine later."

V sat upright on the sofa, her back tense, not daring to lean back. Hearing this, she felt even more itchy - there was no blood on her body, but her back was wet and indescribably awkward.

Ten minutes later, Leo successfully eliminated the odor on his body and walked back to the living room feeling relaxed.

When he walked down the stairs, he saw that V had taken off his coat and was only wearing a sleeveless T-shirt on his upper body.

From afar, the mountains appear undulating. When you get closer, they are round and full, and even make crackling sounds... Oh, it turns out that it is fists that make the sounds.

Leo didn't dare to stare at her anymore and quickly took out the Dinara Technology prosthetic storage box from under the coffee table.

The top layer is the medical gauze and alcohol that Lao Wei put there, and the bottom layer is a large amount of immunosuppressants and a tube of repair cream.

Before making his real request, Leo tried to divert her attention and reduce her aggression: "You used Sianvistan twice today. Do you need an immunosuppressant?"

V's attention was drawn to the pneumatic syringe in his hand. "No need? I don't feel any discomfort. I don't feel any adverse reactions mentioned in the instructions."

Leo originally wanted to confirm it again, but before he could say anything, he suddenly remembered - this is the V-Zhentian Unit 1, whose physique exceeds the limits of human beings.

A mere Swansea might really mean nothing to her.

"Then take off your clothes. I see the back of your T-shirt is soaked. Is it sweat or blood?"

V tilted her head slightly, leaving him only a side profile: "I don't know, I don't sweat easily, but I didn't feel any pain, so it shouldn't be blood..."

Leo's heart skipped a beat, and he remembered her damn pain editor value.

"Are you already injured, but can't feel it because of the pain editor?!"

"Impossible. When I activate Sian Westin, the enemies are like wooden figures. How can they hurt me?"

"There's no point in talking any more. Take off your clothes quickly and let me see what's wrong with your back." In a hurry, Leo directly lifted her clothes.

V's cheeks instantly turned red, and she wanted to run away. "I can do it myself, take your hand away!"

"Ah, stop nagging. This is healing. If you dawdle, you will only delay the best time for treatment!"

Leo took off her T-shirt without saying a word.

V had no place to vent his anger and could only glare at the air in front of him.

Without the covering of clothes, the condition of her back was revealed to Leo.

It was indeed wet, but it was not sweat or blood, but some kind of clear yellowish liquid.

[It is tissue fluid. When local capillaries rupture and blood leaks into the subcutaneous tissue, this condition will occur. Don't worry, it's not serious. One can even say that she is simply a superhuman, as she has only leaked a little tissue fluid after using it continuously since she installed the Sianweistan!!]

The pure white science made Leo feel relieved.

First appearance: Chapter 157 Lovers are full

"This is tissue fluid. It doesn't look like a big problem."

Leo quickly read the instructions for use of the repair cream and casually repeated Chun Bai's words.

V also breathed a sigh of relief: "I told you, my physique is not likely to be injured after using Sian Westin twice."

"But don't forget, the instructions for the prosthesis state that adults should not use it more than three times a day. Otherwise, even if the body can bear it, the mind will be oppressed and it is easy to become a cyberpsychopath."

Leo had also read the instructions for Swanwestin and gave a friendly reminder.

"It's okay. I have a strong physique. If I feel uncomfortable, I will naturally stop."

Seeing that she was stubborn, Leo had to put the matter aside and observe her for a while.

"Okay, then I'll help you clean the skin on your back and apply some repair cream."

Leo picked up the medical gauze and was about to start working when he encountered a problem - the bra strap was too annoying...ah, no, it was too much of a bother!

It's already 2077, why haven't we developed an anti-gravity bra to remove the ugly, inconvenient strap at the back?

"V, can I untie this belt? It's in the way..."

"……Um."

“Ah… eh!?”

Leo was halfway through sighing when he suddenly realized that V...actually agreed! ?

The response he had expected was something like, "Do you want to be beaten?", "Want to try my fist?"

I didn’t expect V to agree…

Without time to think, his hands moved before his brain, and after several attempts he unhooked her bra.

The upper body of the V is exposed, and a beautiful curve can be seen from the side.

"What are you standing there for? Aren't you applying medicine?"

"Oh... yes, apply the medicine."

Leo absentmindedly wiped the tissue fluid off her back with gauze, and then dipped a new piece of gauze in some alcohol: "Tell me if it hurts."

He tapped her back carefully, testing her reaction.

V shivered a little, but it didn't seem to be painful.

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay. I don't have any external injuries on my back. It won't hurt to use alcohol."

After hearing this reply, Leo started to work boldly and quickly cleaned her back. What's more, V's skin was still white, smooth and delicate.

After completing the cleaning step, Leo couldn't wait to squeeze some cream onto his hands, ready to enjoy it.

After rubbing his hands together to warm them up, he gently stroked V's back.

V shuddered again, his back muscles tensing.

Leo soothed her, "Relax, just think of it as me applying sunscreen to you. By the way, this shouldn't hurt, right?"

V didn't say anything, just nodded silently.

Seeing this, Leo immediately increased his strength to help the skin absorb the cream quickly.

In just a few minutes, the cream on his hands dried, and V's back felt refreshed, without the sticky texture of common plasters.

But he was still reluctant to stop and artificially prolonged the time for applying the medicine.

suddenly,

V turned his head to look at him: "Do you regret choosing me?"

"what!?"

This question was so confusing that Leo was completely confused. "What do you mean?"

V took a deep breath. "They chose me instead of Sasha or Vera. With how nice you are to people, they should have let you sleep with them a long time ago..."

"Are you thinking too much?"

"maybe…"

V scratched his head in annoyance.

"Before I met you, I was always hanging out on the streets and saw a lot of darkness at the bottom of society. In a place like Night City where people work day by day, many people take sex and drugs lightly in pursuit of excitement and relaxation. If someone else was treated so gently by you, they probably wouldn't have the same attitude as me."

Leo realized that now was a good opportunity to advance his relationship with V, so he continued, "Then why do you have this attitude... Because you are a Catholic Heywood woman?"

"No, my mother is, but I'm not." V shook his head in denial.

She struggled for a long time before she crossed her arms and opened her heart to him: "I'm just... a little scared."

Even the famous V can be afraid sometimes, and this sentence really dispelled a lot of the happiness in Leo's heart.

"What are you...afraid of?"

"I'm afraid of establishing connections with people, afraid of adapting to this comfortable life, and also afraid... that you'll suddenly die one day. I used to be able to try not to think about this problem, but today when you ran to the battlefield, I realized... that any stray bullet could take your life, and then, the happiness that I had grasped with great difficulty would collapse."

Leo lowered his eyes slightly and reached out to rub her hair: "I may be weak, but I won't die easily. Don't worry, I am most afraid of death, and I will do everything I can to survive."

"But this place is different from your place... This is Night City."

V leaned back and fell into his arms.

"I've been a mercenary for five or six years, and I've seen many of my colleagues suddenly collapse mentally because of the death of their lovers, family members, or even friends. Even if they don't become cyber-psychopaths, they will lose the will to live, degenerate, and disappear one day."

"Look at the people in Mann's team. Mann and Dolio are lovers. Rebecca and Pyrrha are siblings who don't get along on the surface, but they have a deep relationship. If one of them is suddenly gone, the other will be lost for a long time, even if he doesn't collapse."

"This is what I'm afraid of... Since my mother died, I feel like I'm fearless. Even if the enemy points a gun at me, I don't have the slightest fear. Because to me, death is more like reuniting with my parents. Anyway, this world is a shithole, and there's nothing to be nostalgic about in life."

"But it's different now..." V raised his hand and stroked Leo's face, "I was originally fearless, but you added a weakness to me, just like you lowered the value of my pain editor before."

"I installed a combat prosthesis, which should have made me stronger. But I feel like I've become weaker again - I was not afraid of anything before, but now I'm afraid of this and that..."

Leo wanted to give her a hug, but in her current state he had no idea where to start, so he could only hold her head gently.

"True strength does not come from the absence of fear, but from facing fear and defeating it. An invincible person is powerful, but a person with a strong bond is equally powerful, or even stronger. I forgot where I saw this, but there should be something similar in the Lone Wolf Handbook, right?"

V laughed. "Yes, but I think Morgan Blackhand is just bragging."

Leo also smiled: "You can't just look at the principles you like and ignore the others."

"Maybe……"

V closed his eyes and was silent for a while, then opened his eyes again.

"Then let's give it a try, let's try dating."

Leo's heart was beating like a drum, and a joyful smile appeared on his face.
