Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

Luo Qi frowned. He didn't expect that the reality was far more complicated than he had guessed.

There are many modders, and there are many people who break down, but the streets are not full of crazy cyber psychos.

Cyberpsychiatry is a collective term for all anxiety-related mental and personality disorders triggered by implanted hardware and various behavioral modules, including software, as defined by the trauma team medical records.

To put it simply, implanting a prosthetic body is only a fuse and a catalyst. What really collapses is the spirit and body of the human body.

Everyone in Night City probably knows one or two acquaintances whose prosthetic neighbors put on so much that one day they went out with a gun and shot at the crowd.Or the neighbor refused to find a reliable prosthetic doctor in order to save money, so he was haunted by nightmares every day, and after taking hormone blocking drugs, he had auditory hallucinations and finally went crazy.

Some people say that cyberpsychosis is a disease caused by social inequality.Others say this is the price to pay for a pathological obsession with technology.Others thought it was completely made up.Until the day they saw their neighbors shooting randomly at their door and had to call the Terrorist Mobile Squad.

"The transformation is risky, and the implantation needs to be cautious." Luo Qi sighed.

"That's right, listening to the doctor and following the laws of science can only reduce the risk." Lao Wei began to hold the knife while debugging.

"You're a prosthetic doctor, so you're not throwing yourself in the towel?" Luo Qi asked curiously.

"But it's the truth. Do you want to listen to me pick what you like to hear? Oh, I almost forgot, you don't pretend to be a prosthetic body."

Lao Wei was chatting while working, and he didn't look like he was cutting a knife, but like cutting a piece of meat on a chopping board.

After fiddling for a long time, Lao Wei finally stripped out a bloody machine full of threads and threw it on the table.

"What is this?" Luo Qi poked curiously.

"The response coordinator is overloaded and damaged. After the electricity leaks, the implanted person will shake like drinking fake wine." Old Wei began to repair and suture the comatose Mowell, "It looks like It’s an experimental product, and it doesn’t even have a serial number on it.”

"Ha, let me just say, why is she acting like a fool." Luo Qi suddenly realized.

"It acts directly on the nerve center. It hurts like someone threw your spine into a frying pan. No wonder she went crazy."

Sighing, although Lao Wei is not surprised by these things, it is impossible for him to be without fluctuations in his heart.

"In that case, cyber mental illness can also be cured?"

"No." Lao Wei, who started to clean up the table, explained, "If you send her a little later, the excessive stimulation will directly burn her to death, or even worse, she will become a woman living in hell. A madman in pain."

really……

It is indeed better to die than to live in constant torment.

"In that case, is there no way for military technology to save her?" Luo Qi pointed to the half-dead Mowell, "I didn't question your technology, you know what I mean."

"I understand, military technology is very rich, so it's not easy to find a doctor like me?" Lao Wei didn't care about these words, "They must think she's crazy, that's really hopeless. And the experimental prosthetic body If something goes wrong, it’s still on one of my own people, and killing her won’t bring about any loss of reputation, at least.”

"More importantly, the company does not raise disabled people." Lao Wei sighed, and carefully wiped his mechanical exoskeleton with a cloth. You can only be a disabled person with a hemiplegia."

"You should lament your luck. You came a little later, or found a doctor who is not so good. Now you should think about how to deal with a useless cripple."

After finishing speaking, he walked to the side and began to pack up the equipment, then took the faulty implant to the workbench, turned on the light, and disassembled it for research.

"I really don't know how to thank you for taking care of us like this every time." Luo Qi nodded, "How much does it cost?"

"Do you have any money? Keep it for yourself." Lao Wei turned his head and smiled through his glasses, "Old rules, if you can find a prosthetic body, I'll count the money for you. It's agreed, I don't want a copycat Goods, usable standard products, military-spec products, or this kind of experimental products, both good and bad, I want to do research.”

"No, I have money this time." Luo Qi smiled and took out a bag of cash and chips. "Military technology is dead all over the place, and the cars are still there. If it wasn't difficult to deal with, I would have left them all. How could I leave them with such kindness?"

"It's up to you." Lao Wei shook his head.

"By the way, old Wei, when will that guy wake up?" Luo Qi asked Mowell, who was motionless.

"It may be a few hours, or it may be sooner. What are you going to do?" Lao Wei asked, "I probably know, it's Dexter's business."

"Yes, that's the one." Luo Qi also frowned and said.

"You feel it, right. I told V, what happens is up to him." Old Wei shook his head, "Be careful."

Facing this uncle who takes care of V like a son and is also very caring for him and Jack, Luo Qi trusts him very much.

He could hear the concern hidden in the simple words.

"Okay, then I'll put her here first, I still have something to do." Luo Qi said.

Lao Wei didn't look at him, he just disassembled the implant and nodded.

Pushing open the door of the basement, the fresh air of the evening breeze mixed with various smells entered the nostrils.

Turn on the PDA, the time is early ten o'clock.

Tomorrow, I will go to the Maelstrom Gang to smash the scene, then I will have an interview with T-Bug and Dexter, and then I will go directly to the Cyan Bi Building.

If I'm quick enough, I might be able to avoid that fucking drama.

Tonight, something more has to be done.

Chapter 12 I think of happy things

The next morning.

Night City is a rare sunny day, and the long-lost blue appears.

Outside the Whole Foods facility.

"Lucky, why did you come here?" Jack sat astride a windy and arrogant locomotive, waving his hands in greeting.

"Heh..." Luo Qi yawned a lot, and waved his hands as he walked over, "Don't mention it, it's all because of you."

"Me?" Jack was stunned for a moment, "Have you prepared a gift for me?"

"Bad." Luo Qi laughed away the yawn that came to his lips, "Well, it's not for you, but it's a big gift for you."

Jack scratched his head: "Stop playing charades, talk quickly, I'm still looking forward to it."

"Get down to business first." Luo Qi shook his index finger, "V, how about the woman with fried hair?"

"I cooperated with her as you said, and then she gave me a chip and asked us to pay with this." V took out the chip, which was full of colorful circuits, but there was no "MILITECH (military technology)" typeface.

"Great, just use this to pay." Luo Qi nodded.

"I detected viruses and golems on it... If you give this to the Uzumaki Gang, something will happen." V reminded.

"Hey, chingón (awesome)." Jack patted his thigh, "Is this a fight?"

Luo Qi glanced at the gate entrance hidden behind the garbage dump, under the ramp, and nodded: "Get ready, go in and listen to them, don't start a conflict, and then..."

"Then pull out the gun and blow their dog's head off, mano." Jack patted the pistol on his belt.

"Is it really okay? Should we be more cautious?" V thought while rubbing his chin.

Sometimes, once the plan is planned by Luo Qi to seem simple and rude to a bit reckless, V will carefully consider the feasibility instead.

"Military technology will help us, especially Meredith Stott, she must be more anxious than us." Luo Qi comforted.

"How do you know?" V asked curiously.

Luo Qi sighed suddenly, making the two of them confused: "I wish I could know everything all the time, but it's a pity that when relic is finished, it will be almost the same."

V and Jack: (?_??)

"Okay, let's go in." Luo Qi snapped his fingers, "Have you guys been waiting for a long time?"

"It's okay, my mother always tells me that good things take time."

Jack spread his hands, not caring about such trivial matters at all.

"Well."

After leaving the Ritz bar last night, V called Luo Qi, even in the middle of the night.Because Luo Qi had specifically confessed, don't care about the time, you must tell everything, and everyone discusses it together.

But V felt that Luo Qi's head was like a machine, spinning up and throwing out a few messages. Before he finished speaking, he analyzed the matter clearly, Even the countermeasures have been thought out, as if they know everything.

Dexter had already paid Brick for the combat robot (spider) code-named "Little Flathead", but at the moment when he was about to pick up the goods, Royce in the gang rebelled and overthrew Brick. Now whether people still admit it or not is another matter.

Jack felt sorry for the money, even if the money was for military technology, but he couldn't help but feel happy when he thought that the inside would be smashed to pieces later.

"Let's go, let's meet these bastards." V said.

"Come on, let's knock on the door first to see if anyone squeaks." Jack finally got down from his beloved little motorcycle, "I hate these reformers the most, why did I get them."

"Aren't they just a gang?" V asked.

Jack shook his head and swaggered ahead: "For example, the Valentino gang, they believe in God and the Virgin Mary, and they value honor very much. You know what they want and what methods they like, and you can't touch them anywhere."

"But the Whirlpool Gang doesn't preach the rules at all."

Although he quit the Valentino gang a long time ago, he still has a deep connection with his brothers and sisters in the gang.Especially her mother, Guadalupe Alahandra Wells, everyone called her Mrs. Wells.

The masses recognized that no matter who it was, as long as they entered her house, their confidances would be heard, and they would be given a delicious meal.Like all mothers, she is willing to give everything, even her life, to protect her children.

She was an important person in Heywood, and even the toughest members of the Valentino gang would give her three points of courtesy when they saw her.The priest even said once that Mrs. Wells was not only good-natured, but more powerful than all the gangsters in the town.

It's just that he is outrageous, like a hidden BOSS, Luo Qi thought it was nothing before, the kind of guy who has a part in the show is considered exciting.But looking into reality, oh well, Adam Heavy Hammer is a younger brother, a piece of meat packed in an iron sheet, right?There are many people who are more powerful than him-after all, this is the real cyber world.

As for the Whirlpool Gang, they are basically lunatics transformed by prosthetic bodies.

They control the Watson and North Industries districts, and are easily recognized by their intimidating faces and hostile optical implants.Not only are they standard equipment for the gang, but they also showcase their blind fascination with prosthetics and cyber modifications.

Seeing the Maelstrom Gang, you might think - "Hey, this is a bold pioneer of transhuman transformation."

If they were only testing the limits of the human body on themselves, then perhaps this statement was true...

It's a pity that they also like to "experiment" on those who unfortunately fall into their hands.

Known for extreme brutality and public gang executions, the Maelstrom gang, combined with illegal Mewtwo creations and a manic fighting style, created a gang of madmen on the verge of cyberpsychosis.In fact, the operation method of the Maelstrom Gang is not that crazy. In the final analysis, everything is for business.And the more rumors there are about them, the easier it is to do business.

Business is not crazy, people are quite crazy.

Among other things, just digging out the entire part from the frontal bone, replacing the brow bone, nose bridge, and eye sockets with optical prostheses that grow on the face like a big spider, is already a challenge. Human vision is at its limit.

Imagine, on this basis, they will also choose multiple prosthetic eyes, which look like six or seven big red light bulbs inserted in the eyes, and then with a mutilated face, ask you if you want to buy them goods.

They are more brutal and crazier than your average gang.

If you deal with a gang casually, you can find some excuses to excuse them, but the Maelstrom Gang doesn’t even have a chance to quibble—a group of gangs that seriously endanger social order, brutally persecute a large number of innocent people, and engage in various messy crimes. There are only benefits to disappearing earlier.

It's a pity that there are not many people in the Maelstrom Gang. NCPD estimated their size to be 1300 people, but that is already old calendar.

Luo Qi shook his head, pulling back the spirit that was in a trance because he hadn't slept all night.

Why think so much, just rush and finish.

V pressed the door control call, and a hoarse and heavy snort came from inside, which sounded like a zombie spraying the mic.

"Huh? Who are you?" The person at the gate asked impatiently.

"Hurry up and open the fucking door." Faced with this group of half-lunatics, V was not angry either.

"Who the hell are you? Why didn't I know there was someone like you?"

"We're looking for Royce, Dexter sent us."

The voice on the other end paused, as if swallowing a breath: "Go to the computer room, I'm waiting for you."

After finishing speaking, the rolling shutter door at the entrance closed with a "crash".

Inside is where the black hole is, and it looks like there are many shelves and machinery.

"The atmosphere is good. It would be even better to plant two pots of flowers." Jack was still in the mood to tease, "Oh, they are well prepared."

The two machine gun turrets stood straight at the entrance of the passage, and they were still scanning around, creaking.

Rocky looked around - no cameras.

A subtle but unassuming smile appeared on his face.

"Why are you smiling so happily?"

V turned his head, saw Luo Qi smiling like a "funny", and asked.

"I think of happy things." Luo Qi said solemnly.

Looking at the two turrets, V couldn't be happier: "I've never seen such a heavily guarded food factory."

"Uh, it should be all the equipment snatched from the transport team... Huh, most of them are armed to the asshole." Jack complained mercilessly, it can be seen that he really hates the whirlpool gang to the extreme, "Hey, what's in it ?”

Going deeper, the space became more and more open, and the three of them saw a vehicle parked in the open space.

MILITECH, the truck of military technology.

"I thought these bastards only robbed a few boxes, but I robbed the whole car!" Jack patted his forehead, and he finally understood why the military technology people were so interested in taking down the whirlpool gang.

"Hey, wait a minute."

At this time, Luo Qi stopped V and Jack.

"Send a message to the woman with fried hair, take pictures of these things for her, and then ask her to prepare her hands, and start to attack as soon as the virus hacks in."
