So it's not uncommon for there to be one or two ardent fans who make themselves into Johnny Silverhand on the street.

However, the business of cyber cosmetic surgery is not without taboos.

Want to be Washington or Lincoln?

No problem, as long as the money is in place.

Want to be Saburo Arasaka or Rosalind Miles?

Then you better make sure you get out of the hospital door alive.

Originally, Rogge hoped that Johnny could change his face to avoid risks, but under Johnny's firm opposition, he finally decided to design the face module according to the original appearance, but it is better to wear a helmet or mask at ordinary times, so as not to cause trouble. necessary trouble.

The Tiger Claws like to wear some decorative or functional half-face masks, so this is not uncommon.

It will take some time for the follow-up work to be done, and when it is completely resolved, Johnny can try to go out, but before that, he has to wait for the freedom that is close at hand to stay in this underground facility for a while time.

"Although it's a bit late now, I still want to say, thank you, brother."

Luo Qi stood beside him, with a faint smile on his face, feeling a little happy for some reason.

But at this moment, Johnny suddenly thanked him.

"Huh? Did I hear it wrong? The famous Johnny Silverhand actually said thank you. I thought you never learned this word."

Roger's eyebrows were raised high, with a look of "tsk tsk tsk" in amazement.

For some reason, Luo Qi heard a trace of dissatisfaction.

"Cut...what do you know, old woman." Johnny snorted, but his tone was a little evasive.

"Let me translate—he doesn't think he needs to say thank you to you. Yes, that's pretty much what it means."

Rocky gave a well-timed "fuel to the fire" and then made a "let's slip" gesture to Roger, leaving room for the two of them.

When they returned to the afterlife on the negative floor, Luo Qi finally couldn't help laughing.

Even Suzi rarely showed a faint smile that could not help but laugh.

The mercenary captain guarding the gate, Emmerich Bronson, looked at him like a fool, and sighed speechlessly.

"Claire, two Johnny Silverhands."

Luo Qi unceremoniously grabbed two vacant counter seats and said cheerfully.

"Hey, I'm glad to see you. What good thing happened? You don't drink juice anymore?"

Claire asked with a smile.

"It's a good thing, a very good thing, but well, it has to be kept secret."

Luo Qi said in a mysterious tone, and then showed an indescribable smile.

Today is indeed a good day, a great day.

Chapter 210 Three Love Is Overwhelming

"thank you all."

Judy was sitting on the backseat of the giant beast, and Evelyn, who was still in a half-sleeping state, rested her head on her lap, and her expression looked relaxed.

Comrade Evelyn Parker has improved further after receiving initial treatment from Dr. Lucy Chakri.

However, due to too much cruel abuse, she is still in a deeply closed state, putting herself in a black box that she cannot break through, and can only feel the external environment through occasional revived consciousness.

Moreover, the completely burned electronic modules and nerve pathways need to be replaced by one or more operations. In this regard, we can rely on the superb technology of old Weina, but the treatment cost is a new burden for Judy.

It is worth mentioning that because Luo Qi and Suzi left a good impression on Dr. Lucy, she almost provided this treatment service at cost price.

In her own words, this is one of the few ways she can return kindness to those who have shown her kindness in the past.

If Luo Qi had forcibly taken her away without saying a word, or shot and killed the Maelstrom Gang she was treating, the result might have been completely opposite.

There are many opportunities to be a doctor in Night City, but what is lacking is the opportunity to be a pure doctor.

So Lucy is very grateful to them to this day.

The thanks from Judy, Luo Qi, are generous and accept every time, not for anything else, you have to be sincere when dealing with people like Judy, and repeatedly evading for the sake of politeness will only make her mistakenly think that you have an opinion on her .

"Can you take us back to my apartment?" Just as the car was driving on the road, Judy said suddenly, "It's a bit abrupt to say that, sorry."

"Can you tell me why?" Luo Qi was not angry at all, because he knew that Judy had his own reasons.

"Did I tell you about my childhood?" Judy asked.

"Maybe there was...in Laguna Bay, right?" That's all he could remember.

"Yes, it seems that I only mentioned it to you once."

Judy leaned her back on the seat, and spoke softly, for fear of waking Evelyn, "It was 2062, and our family was still living in Laguna Bay outside Night City."

"The Night City Dam Corporation bought that land, and they're going to turn it into a reservoir...you know, a legal and formal purchase, so we, the local residents, are outsiders."

Recalling the scene that year, Judy, who was still young at that time, still finds it ridiculous, "The protest lasted for several months, and finally everyone was forced to evacuate-that's what the news said."

"But in fact, the people from the company drove the demolition machine directly into the residential area. A desperate guy climbed onto the crane and planned to climb directly to the cab, but the crane lost control, and the things that fell A room was crushed, and there was a whole family in the room at the time."

The earliest, months-long clashes did not result in any casualties.

The company’s methods of fighting against the residents were not as severe as later, only by raising rents, setting up simple temporary housing, and conducting smear campaigns.

Some people succumbed and decided to suffer a loss and leave this place of right and wrong, but more people chose to fight because they did not get the compensation they deserved from the company.

The crude temporary housing cannot be used as permanent housing, and the only result of opting out is homelessness, they all know it well.

But in the end, under the guidance of the company that controlled the public opinion, those residents who ignored the municipal order and continued to stay at home were said to be "social unrest" who obstructed the necessary construction to provide clean water for the entire Night City.

Without 2077, this matter did not even remain in people's memory until 2063 of the following year. The former Laguna Bay residential area has permanently become a historical term and is gradually forgotten.

After that, Judy and her grandparents moved to a rental apartment in the northern part of the Kabuki district.

But the two elderly men hated the metropolis and only left after a few years, moving further north to Oregon.

And Judy stayed, making the apartment her own.

"I didn't expect you to have such a story." Luo Qi listened to Judy's eloquence, and felt that everyone's life is like a different picture album, very different, each has its own splendor, and each has its own uniqueness. Each is dark.

However, Judy’s Chaomeng technology is indeed God’s reward. Although the location of the apartment is not good, it is still not easy to buy such a second-hand property. What’s more, she just entered the industry not long ago and had no one to rely on. An unknown young man.

After chatting for a while, Judy opened her heart a little bit, and kept talking about her past with a touch of nostalgia.

When Judy was 16, she was even detained for stealing a fire truck.

The truth is, Judy didn't steal the car.

She found the fire truck abandoned in a scrap yard and decided to spend half a year fixing it, only to have the NCPD arrest her the first time she took it on the road.

They didn't believe Judy's words at all, and they thought that the nonsense of a talented girl repairing a fire truck was simply whimsical.

"I contacted a lawyer before, the city government has a compensation policy for 'illegal arrest of juveniles', and I honestly think I should get this compensation, but the jerk lawyer didn't believe me at all, and thought I was out of my mind. "

Judy got a little angry when she thought of this, and shook her head angrily.

To be honest, Luo Qi felt that this was impossible, not difficult to achieve.

If one-tenth of what the government promised can be done, Luo Qi feels that Night City can be selected as the top three most civilized cities in the United States.

These politicians can't wait to draw the big pie bigger than the third cantilever of the Milky Way, and then they can't wait to shrink it down to be smaller than the quark.

Luo Qi can guarantee that NCPD has definitely found the serial number of the fire engine, and confirmed that the vehicle has indeed entered the scrapping list.

But they are not going to admit that they caught the wrong guy in order to free an innocent girl.

He will only find a reason to kick her out at a later time, so as not to make any troubles again.

For the so-called "fraternal unit", Luo Qi can be said to have no affection at all.

Anna is estimated to express 100% support for this——

At the beginning, she was going to be bought by her immediate boss and colleagues to silence her. If it wasn't for the kind Regina and V, she would have died out long ago.

"Trust me, it would be hell if you could get this compensation, because it would mean that the city government really took the policies they promulgated seriously. But if they really care about the rights and interests of civilians, from the beginning you will I won't be caught." Luo Qi persuaded.

Getting angry because of this kind of cheating and unfair incident is simply making life difficult for yourself.

But Judy's character is that she can't rub the sand in her eyes, so this kind of persuasion is better than nothing, at least let her stop thinking about doing something stupid.

"The NCPD note is a bunch of idiots, and it never worked when calling the police."

Judy got angry when she thought of NCPD, and then suddenly realized something, her tone weakened for a moment, "Sorry, I wasn't talking about you guys."

Luo Qi and Suzi are the official non-staff members of the terrorist mobile team, and they are also members of the Night City police system.

"It's okay, we understand what you mean, and the terrorist mobile team parted ways with the NCPD a long time ago."

2045 is also a year full of troubles.

At that time, it was the golden age when the fourth corporate war and its aftermath completely subsided, and the great recovery began. NCPD had long been rotten. There was almost no difference between black and white, and it looked like Los Angeles in the 80s of the last century.

The bottom-line order of the entire city is in charge of the independent Supreme Force Tactics Department.

At that time, the members of the violent terrorist mobile team often killed those corrupt NCPD officers as chickens.

It is hard to describe the era when a small leader of the NCPD dared to call himself "the boss of such and such a street".

Coupled with drug abuse and market chaos, the basic daily supply is very stretched, and cyberpsychosis caused by the living environment, health problems and life pressure is everywhere, almost comparable to the last two years.

"The matter of the Tiger Claw Gang is over, and no one will trouble Xiaoai again, so I want to move back."

When Zhu Di said this, she was a little afraid to look at Luo Qi, because she felt that this seemed to have failed his kindness.

"It's your home after all."

The apartment where her grandfather and grandmother lived for several years is the concept of "home" for Judy.

"I will go back, but sometimes I also want to go back to live in the apartment." Judy said quickly, "There are still some things I haven't taken, and my equipment has already been moved there, and when I go out, Xiao Ai can also be taken care of by someone."

Liz Bar also relies on her super dream editing skills, which is also her income, but when she goes out to work, Evelyn will be left alone at home, which always makes Judy nervous.

"My grandma said that where there is family, it is called home."

That was what her grandmother said to the young Judy when she was forced to leave Laguna Bay. Now that I think about it, the memory is a little fuzzy, but the general meaning is firmly in Judy's mind.

"Yeah, that's right." Luo Qi thought of his small apartment with Suzi, and felt that the clean little house was also quite warm.

"But are you really not considering moving out of the basement? The lighting in that place...well, there's no lighting at all."

Even if the ventilation and lighting facilities are in place, Luo Qi still feels that the place is exactly the same as Judy's studio in the Ritz Bar. It may be sci-fi and mysterious enough. It looks very high-end against the background of the equipment, but it is not bright enough. .

"My bed and Evelyn's have been moved to the third floor, didn't they tell you?"

Judy showed a puzzled expression instead.

"When I went that day, there was no one in the safe house. I thought it was the same as before."

If Luo Qi hadn't been holding the steering wheel, he would have almost slapped himself on the forehead.

After that, he was kidnapped by Melissa, who was so high, and it took a long time before he was released.

Luo Qi is the only one who can fight and be obedient. Don't toss him to toss anyone.

Unlike those cyberpsychopaths, although those enemies are fun to slash, they don't always have the excitement of walking on the verge of death.

Especially when Luo Qi defeated her, the joy of life and death being in the hands of the opponent, but the opponent would not really strike, I really couldn't experience it in other places.

Anyway, Luo Qi has nothing to say to this crazy woman who can use her tongue to lick the face of the samurai sword on her neck.

"Well, you are welcome back anytime."

Shaking off the terrifying image of Melissa in his mind, Luo Qi shivered and said.

"But how are your grandparents doing in Oregon? Does anyone take care of them?"

But he didn't expect that he was the one who didn't open the pot and carried it.

"My mother died when I was a child, and my father didn't know where to go, so they brought me up." Judy said easily about her missing childhood, "They are better than you I imagined that I would take better care of myself.”

Oregon is a member of the "Pacific Alliance" of free states and is the second state on the upper left of the former United States map.

The economic strength is also good, and it can rank No. 20 in the [-] states.

Of course, that was before the 2020 corporate wars.

Compared with other states that have experienced plague, acid rain, earthquakes, tsunamis, storm fires, oil spills, nuclear explosions and orbiting meteorites, Oregon, which has only experienced drought, has become a pretty good place to live.

The elderly can't stand the toss of Night City, so going to Oregon is indeed a good choice.
