"It's okay, I don't really feel anything."

This is the truth.

When Luo Qi saw the policemen and passers-by who died on the spot, his mood didn't fluctuate much.

But reason told him that he should be angry, angry, and jealous.

But he didn't. Instead, he did everything without any disturbance, as if he woke up today and saw something that he was accustomed to and couldn't be more ordinary, and then he did it according to his inner thoughts.

numbness.

Rocky hated that word from the bottom of his heart.

He tried to find the familiar active and hot feeling from his heart, from his memory, from all the emotional fluctuations.

However, Night City was like a cold lake, slowly dragging him into the dark and lightless depths.

"If this goes on, will I become another person? Will I forget what I did? Will I forget the original self?"

This is a question that is close to philosophy. He has never stopped thinking about it since he came to this world.

"You need a little change."

At some point, Melissa had already stood behind him, lightly pressing her hand on his shoulder.

"What changed?"

Rocky didn't know what she was referring to.

"Forget about that stuff, you're exposed to too much."

Melissa turned around him and looked straight into his eyes.

"What is this? A psychological assessment?" Luo Qi laughed, "I don't have any implants, and I'm pretty normal."

"It's not just implants that lead to mental imbalance."

Melissa didn't mean to tease him, "When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you."

Appeared, a classic sentence.

Luo Qi was taken aback.

Is my mental state really that bad?

"Excessive exposure to negative news related to death and violence will have a subtle impact on the spirit."

Melissa touched his shoulder, then slid down his neck all the way to his chin, and finally touched his Adam's apple that moved up and down when he swallowed lightly, "And those plots, the feeling of powerlessness is already very aggrieved, Don't suffocate your body."

"I don't quite understand what you mean."

Luo Qi felt that something was wrong, and silently took a step back, but his body was leaning against the window, and there was no way to retreat.

"Because that's how I am."

Melissa laughed, a little coquettish, a little weird, and even more cruel.

The Mantis Knife was unsheathed at some point, and with her hands, it silently climbed onto Luo Qi's body.

The soft fingertips and the cold blade just stuck to his skin.

It's an eerie beauty, and love.

"Oh, go, she's still waiting for you."

The slightly kneaded five fingers loosened, and pressed the palm of his chest on his chest, feeling the beating that gradually accelerated.

At the door, Suzi stood silently, looking at Luo Qi with a worried face.

Watching his back as he left the office, Melissa finally sat down slowly.

She likes the almost morbid sense of beauty and pleasure, except when she gives death to the enemy with her own hands, she can only feel it on Luo Qi who is so tense.

Watching his emotions being mobilized bit by bit by myself, the sense of satisfaction and happiness is incomparable to anything.

It wasn't normal, but Melissa had no intention of correcting it.

Because she thinks it's good and satisfying.

Chapter 230 Who Plays Philosophy in Serious People ()

Luo Qi was given a vacation by Melissa, a long, long vacation——

Until he passed the psychological assessment, he would not have to return to work, and he would not even be assigned urgent deployment tasks.

Melissa is very aware of her own state of mind, and also understands what a normal state of mind should be like, but before Luo Qi can achieve "limited restraint madness", necessary adjustments are necessary.

Know madness, control madness, exploit madness.

In contrast, Suzi's psychological quality is much higher than Luo Qi's in comprehensive evaluation.

Psychology is a very complicated thing, and non-serious professionals cannot easily define it.

Sometimes the superficial strength is just a fragile appearance.

Even Master, the captain of the first team and the staff of the headquarters, came to comfort him in person, as a psychological counseling.

At this time, the violent terrorist mobile team is already short of manpower, but it is still impossible for them to make the psychological state of a top combat force shaky for the sake of short-term interests. considerations.

Compared with NCPD, which has been listed and is more like a company, the violent terrorist mobile team still retains the creed of the original law enforcement organization.

This made Luo Qi feel more at ease, at least he felt that his efforts were not meaningless.

His information has been filed in the database of the violent terrorist mobile team.

Including middlemen, mercenaries, Yunding, Kangtao team, safe house and a bunch of family and friends.

These are actually nothing, because there is no conflict or threat with the duties of the violent terrorist mobile team.

Look at those potbellied politicians in the city government and the council, which ones have no capital behind them, which ones don’t have shares in hand, all of them look at the salary slips and they are like a two-sleeve breeze. In fact, they are all tired of playing. vulgar consumption.

Pete Sampson, who died in the Death Rally, was just a middle-level and high-level military technology officer. He was considered a high-level worker, and there was still a lot of gap between him and the serious management.

But in his hands, the network is so wide that NCPD can not only show the scene of the car race, but also operate the game behind the scenes, so as to win the championship again.

As for the car race itself, let alone.

Destroyed public facilities on the road, accidental deaths of drivers and pilots and even passers-by, gambling houses and peripherals that have made a lot of money...

This network of relationships is so large that it is a little creepy, and all of them are not only related to breaking the law, but they have thrown the code on the ground and stepped on it with their feet.

If the NCPD and the city government really plan to carry out some kind of "rectification", they have to put themselves down first.

Look at what Rocky did.

As the police have connections with middlemen, this is called clever use of social relations to handle cases and obtain intelligence.

Participate in fire and gun battles as mercenaries, which is called cooperation to eliminate lawless people such as chaotic knives and gangs.

Taking Yunding out of the hands of the Tiger Claw Gang is called cracking down on industry oppression and safeguarding the rights of people at the bottom, such as sexual partners.

The safe house is armed like a fortress, which is called the reasonable strengthening of private residence protection according to the law.

Rescuing the Kangtao team from the gunpoint of the Sixth Street Gang is called protecting the company's property and personnel, and fighting street crime.

As for Luo Qi stealthily robbing a company convoy here, and stealthily touching a military base there...

The intelligence department of the violent terrorist mobile team directly collectively and selectively blinded——

What about the evidence?Where is the evidence?If not, I will sue you for slander.

And although Luo Qi has done a lot of commissions, he has never touched any of the vicious crimes involving drug production and drug trafficking, human and organ trafficking, murder and framing of innocent people.

Not only did he not touch it, but he even destroyed a lot of such illegal and criminal dens through independent actions, cooperation with NCPD, undertaking outsourcing tasks, and accepting entrustments from competitors.

The laws of Night City are not easy to use, and there are often situations that cannot be controlled or managed. At this time, it depends on the "flexible" case handling ability of law enforcement personnel.

The inflexible policeman, like Anna at the beginning, insisted on tracking down the murderer halfway through, and was almost wiped by his colleagues and bosses.

If he hadn't met the kind-hearted Regina, and V, who had a top-notch mouth trick, he would have died.

The crime rate in Night City is twice as high as that of the highest area in NUSA.

Faced with such a crime rate, the police are clearly unable to do what they want, and they simply do not have the ability and energy to distinguish whether some cases are real or have other conspiracy, which has also resulted in many unjust and wrongly decided cases.

Luo Qi thinks that he has never studied professional public security courses, so he is very self-aware and never touches these cases.

But those guys with white powder in their hands, violence against human trafficking, cutting up human organs, and holding black guns that just killed people can all be classified into the same type of people——

The kind that recommends on-the-spot executions.

But this also brings up a problem at the same time, that is, the definition of crime and how to use the right to deprive others of their lives.

When your fighting power is beyond the limit and the criminals are nothing more than chickens and dogs, the feeling of holding other people's lives in their hands can easily cause huge psychological changes.

When you think you are good at it, it is often the time when cognitive imbalances and biases appear.

Rocky had never understood how Superman gradually changed from a superhero to a bigot, but now he has some insights.

It may be exaggerated, but this feeling that the original self is constantly being affected or even distorted is real.

With his combat power, it is easy to dominate an area, and then use the energy of the highest military tactics department, it will be even more extraordinary.

But thanks to the education given by his family, school, society and the country since he was a child, he clearly knows that doing so is absolutely wrong.

Night City is an extralegal place with laws, uncontrolled power and expanding ambitions, and there are few things to restrain and restrain it.

When Luo Qi puts himself in the company's shoes and considers things with interests as the starting point, the temptation of power and wealth will make people deeply shaken.

The more evil and darkness he sees, the more disturbed and turbulent his heart becomes. He is gradually confused about the direction he is heading, and finally falls into confusion.

It takes time because time changes a person most.

It can heal the heart, heal the pain, or lure you into the abyss of depravity.

So Melissa gave him a break to give him time and thought to think about this issue.

Master felt that Luo Qi's political consciousness was too high to adapt to this city, so the long talk with him lasted for a long time.

Their bottom line is that Luo Qi's firm belief in opposing crimes is enough. As for the derivation of violence or extreme side effects, it is also within the acceptable range. After all, although it is not good to use violence to control violence, it can be used.

But Luo Qi's mental state was much better and more complicated than they thought, so this psychological counseling even attracted other leaders of the Supreme Military Tactics Department.

Luo Qi met with many terrorist leaders who were older than Master. While being flattered, he also chatted with them about various views and opinions.

They may have different ideas, most of them tend to be tough, and some are more inclusive, but they are basically staunch supporters of the idea of ​​​​the founder of the terrorist mobile team——

Be the guardian of the last order before the city falls, no matter the cost or the means.

Luo Qi originally thought that they would be more stable, but now it seems that most of them have different tendencies or even extremes. After all, this is the most real person.

So here he is now, standing alone on the sea-crossing bridge, feeling a car passing by behind him, with his hands on the railing, leaning on the railing to look into the distance.

There is not much sea fog today, and the scenery is not bad. It would be even better if the sea water didn't smell so bad.

The loose white robe fluttered with the sea breeze. There was no extra decoration. If you put your hair in a bun, you would look like a scholar with a sword in ancient times. Unfortunately, Luo Qi's eyes are too scary, like a staff member of the Yan Luo Temple .

Even the Tiger Claw Gang passing by thought for a while, but still avoided him, and you will know how evil this look is.

He found some books and read them slowly, some of which are for expanding knowledge and soothing the mind and body, and some are for regulating law enforcement in the future.

Just look at the laws of Night City. The laws that can list "damaging company property" above all crimes don't need to be taken too seriously.

Because that's basically a piece of rubbish that's aliased "When you come to my place, you have to play by the rules of my game."

Richard Knight, the billionaire who built this ideal city during America's turbulent times, has faded from public perception.

He originally wanted to build a beautiful city under the invasion of capital, but he didn't expect that the city named after his surname "Night" would become the most extreme negative teaching material itself.

The law at that time, as well as some small miscellaneous collections of Knight himself, have a lot of thought-provoking things.

There are also some books from different countries and different periods, most of which are full of thoughts. If you read them with a dialectical point of view and attitude, you can also learn and summarize a lot.

That’s how Mr. Runzhi learned back then, and he hasn’t stopped after decades. Luo Qi feels that although he is half a bucket of water, at least let the water be a little more, so as not to sound imposing.

Of course, the most important thing is that he really didn't find any good programs, because some things really looked like an insult to people's IQ.

This was the first time after he came to Night City to calm down and study seriously, it was really not easy.

Because it is not easy to find these almost lost books themselves from all the entertainment and fast food garbage environment.

With money in his pocket, no need to go to work, and no need to worry about sudden crimes that may fall on his head at any time, Luo Qi thinks such a life is not bad.

It's just that this city is too dirty, like a poop wrapped in a satin gift box, it's still thin.

"If it were me, just smoke a cigarette, at least you can temporarily forget everything in front of you."
