Dark clouds cover the night sky.

On the outer sea at night, layers of mist float up, the neon lights covering the city's coastline wrap the street lamps along the coast in silvery gray mist.

On the quiet sea surface, microwave ripples are slowly swaying with the sea breeze, blowing the waves one tide after another, gently lapping the shore wall, full of natural rhythm and rhythm.

Under the foggy gray shadow.

An icy blue figure slowly emerged, with neon-like eyes, giving off a cool feeling in the shadows.

She came to Bay Pier 4 alone, hid in the shadows, and looked at the luxury yacht docked on the shore, her eyes seeming hesitant.

There are rows of yachts parked by the bay, but there is only one with lights on at the pier.

The circles of her prosthetic eyes turned. After confirming that there was nothing strange around her, her cold eyes softened a little. She clenched her fists, as if she had made up her mind, and slowly walked out of the shadow of the lamp and walked towards the yacht.

The figure of the silver-haired girl gradually approached the pier, the rhythm of the sea echoed in her ears, and she felt the sea breeze coming towards her, accompanied by a burst of trance music.

She looked at the deck of the white yacht and saw no one, but she could hear the sound of someone playing and singing. The voice was gentle, the melody was soft, and the lyrics could be clearly discerned in the music.

"Fly me to the moon."

"And let me play among the stars."

"Fill my life with song."

"And let me sing for ever more."

The sea breeze blows gently, caressing the silver hair, changing the texture of silver white and ice blue.

She stood quietly, raising her hands to tuck her flying silver hair behind her ears, and quietly listened to this strange yet familiar tune.

a long time.

The song ends and the sound stops.

The silver-haired girl seemed to feel something in her heart, and then she stepped up the ladder to the yacht deck.

The owner of the instrument was sitting on the soft leather sofa on the bow deck, adjusting an electric tomahawk guitar, with a serious look on his face, completely immersed in the world of the instrument.

"You sang well, I didn't expect you to have a musical talent." The silver-haired girl watched each other's every move and said hello at the beginning.

Tang Yu raised his head and looked up. Lucy arrived as promised and stood on the deck, looking at him interestingly. She seemed surprised that the company's senior executives had such a hobby of music.

"Sit down." He continued to adjust the strings with his head lowered.

Lucy sat on the other side of the soft leather sofa, looking up at the blue-black night sky. The night sky was reflected in her pupils, and she couldn't help but sigh.

"It's a pity that the clouds are too thick."

Maybe the tune just now had something to do with the moon. When she looked up and saw the moonlight covered by thick clouds, she felt a little regretful.

After Tang Yu finished adjusting the strings, he plucked them twice, and a burst of electric guitar sound came out.

After confirming that the pitch was perfect, he continued to play with his fingertips, and the sound accompanied the yacht's slow start.

"Where do you want to go?" Tang Yu plucked the strings and asked casually.

Lucy turned her head and teased with interest: "Huh? This is your boat, shouldn't it be your decision?"

She looked at the man playing the guitar in front of her, and it was different from any other time in her memory.

At this moment, she had an inexplicable feeling that the two of them might be in the same world, under the same roof.

Lucy knew that Tang Yu, as a senior executive of the company, had already become a master in Night City and had left the world where she lived.

But some things may just be superficial.

Tang Yu said in a deep voice: "Actually, it doesn't matter where you go, what matters is where you feel at ease."

Lucy couldn't help but smile and said with a relaxed expression: "Actually, I don't know where I'm going, but at least leaving here will make me feel more at ease."

"Okay, before I leave, that's not what I want to talk about."

The yacht slowly left the port and sailed onto the wider sea. The coastline behind it became farther and farther away from them.

The boat was sitting on the dark and silent sea, and was moving forward slowly.

The two of them were silent, and only the electric guitar music was left echoing in the sea breeze, gradually being blown away.

Lucy seemed to think that the two of them hadn't seen each other for a while. She didn't know whether it was to be polite or just looking for something to say, so she asked with a smile.

"How have you been lately?"

Tang Yu raised his eyebrows and said lazily: "It's still the same, endless work, endless meetings, and endless favors."

With a smile in her eyes, Lucy joked: "If you are so busy, it is really not easy for you to be able to practice the guitar so well."

She thought that Tang Yu had always had such a temperament, and would always work hard to do what he decided on, even if it seemed superfluous to others. His uniqueness made him different.

Tang Yu said calmly: "I learned it from an old friend. He plays better than me."

"I envy him."

"Why do you play so well?"

Lucy sought confirmation of her inner guess and asked with a smile: "Is this old friend you mentioned the one who begged you to smoke?"

Tang Yu sounded like you are really smart and replied: "Well, you guessed it right."

Lucy turned her head and looked at Tang Yu, as if she couldn't believe that the company's top executives had such friends.

"Then you really have a wide range of friends."

"But to be honest, you look like you were born to work in the corporate world."

Tang Yu smiled and asked: "You mean I look more like a company dog."

"I didn't say that." Lucy smiled.

Tang Yu sighed: "Sometimes suitability does not mean what you want. If you have been with them, you should know that they will hurt you and then abandon you."

"." Lucy's eyes froze, and the memories of her childhood once again invaded her brain.

"It's hard to believe that this is coming from your mouth."

"When you first returned to Night City, you were attacked by the Animal Gang. Was it because of the company?"

She had heard some stories about Tang Yu from Mann. The attack at that time led to the subsequent car accident and the intersection between Mann and Tang Yu.

Tang Yu nodded slightly: "This is very Night City, isn't it?"

"You are quite open-minded." Lucy could not see any disturbance in his eyes, as if she had been accustomed to this kind of life.

Tang Yu suddenly looked up at her and smiled calmly: "As you said before, it's always right to run faster. Danger will always slow you down."

A trace of unbearability flashed in Lucy's eyes, and she murmured: "But Arasaka will not let anything go."

Halfway through the words, it felt like something was stuck in my throat.

She sighed helplessly, with a forced smile that seemed to comfort herself: "Forget it, I hope you have good luck."

Tang Yu knew that she was trying her best to escape and avoid the shadow brought by Arasaka.

But fate played a joke on her, causing her to fall into the whirlpool again.

Life is often such a paradox, you can't get what you want, and what you want to escape comes to you.

She was like a bird fluttering in a cage, seeing Arasaka's trap getting tighter and tighter, but there was nothing she could do.

Facing a corporate giant like Arasaka, personal power seems too small and helpless.

Tang Yu asked again: "Then have you thought about where you want to go?"

Lucy looked at Tang Yu, her eyes trembling for a moment. After hesitation, she chose to give up and just smiled helplessly.

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you."

"Actually, I have nowhere else to go."

Lucy leaned on the soft leather seat and looked quietly into the distance. In her sight was the solid sea launch platform.

She seemed to have remembered something, changed the topic, and asked calmly: "Can I play the song just now again?"

Tang Yu stopped playing and asked, "fly me to the moon?"

"fly me to the moon" Lucy murmured and nodded in affirmation.

She remembered that Tang Yu once asked if she had heard of this song. This was also the first time she heard this song played and sung.

Tang Yu changed his fingering and started playing and singing again. It still had the same charm. The gentle voice paired with the lyrics of the stars and the moon seemed to lead people to play among the stars and jump on the moon.

Lucy quietly raised her head and looked up at the night sky. Along with the sound of playing, scenes from the past appeared in her mind.

First meeting on the subway, shouting at the seawall, being in danger while running at night, etc., linger in my thoughts.

She didn't have much interaction with Night City, and she didn't have any worries about leaving Night City.

But at this moment, she felt something different.

The long night is beautiful.

I hope that this yacht will keep sailing forever and never end, and that it will remain the same for the rest of my life without worrying about the troubles in the rest of my life.

Lucy raised her hand against the sea breeze and clasped her fingers, trying to grasp a little bit of brilliance flowing in the air with her own hands.
