Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

Except Mowell.

Jack, who looked like a big and thick guy, was a little hairy at the moment, but Mowell still seemed to be okay.

Luo Qi touched her head to confirm that she was fine, and then he was relieved.

I always feel that she is a little absent-minded. It should be the sequelae of the malfunction of the prosthetic body. I have to go to Lao Wei to have a look at it another day.

Chapter 39 This place of peace of mind is my hometown

"There are corpses and blood everywhere. People outside can't believe that there is such a place in Night City in the promotional video."

Searching one by one, but still haven't found Evelyn, V joked bitterly.

"Promotional videos? Those kinds of things are unreliable anywhere." Jack spread his hands, "I once wanted to move to Lijing District, but my mother said that place was not as good as the Valley area. I wondered whether the two places are the same. Pretty much—same gang, same filth, until I found out I could fit two drug workshops, a casino, and tons of sex mates in one apartment."

"That place used to be prosperous." Judy said, "Those tall buildings are proof, but the result is obvious."

"Just like Taipingzhou, billions of dollars were wasted, and many people jumped off the building." Luo Qi recalled the once planned "Oasis Paradise" and the current place where the dirt is hidden, and sighed. , "Speaking of which, I seem to have seen a piece of news, what is Kang Tao planning to do in Taipingzhou... the server room?"

"It's the server base station and the logistics center." Zhu Di corrected, "Those guys from Kang Tao may really be able to do it."

[I can't see it. 】Johnny objected, 【It's like stepping on a pile of ants, not only will you not be trampled to death, but they will also climb up your pants, you have to be serious...】

"Who knows." Luo Qi said that he couldn't see through the thinking of these big companies. "Damn it, it's like a maze inside. Are all the scavengers belong to groundhogs? They can dig like this."

"Maybe it's this room..." V slid open a door, and saw a big bed under the light inside.

A disheveled woman with blood all over her body was slumped dead beside the bed.

"That's Evelyn, don't touch her." Luo Qi, who was walking ahead, was stopped by Judy. "If she is recording, you will mess up her brain. I will cut off the link first."

As she spoke, she ran to the computer on the side.

V crouched down beside Evelyn.

"Okay, tell me when you are ready, I will cut off the connection with you at the same time."

He held Evelyn's head in his hands, the face was covered with blood.

"? Madre mía! (My god) it's so fucking miserable." Jack took a breath.

The disconnect went well, but things weren't looking good for Evelyn.

"Thank goodness!"

Judy ran to her side in a hurry and called softly.

But Evelyn was as dead as a dead person, not moving.

"Phew, we've found someone." Luo Qi sighed and stretched his shoulders, "It seems that the situation is not good, so prepare yourself, we will withdraw."

……

After saying goodbye to the others, Roach and Mowell returned to Little Chinatown in Watson District in Delamain.

It's not because there is anything missing, it's just that he is more familiar with this place.

I randomly found a clean hotel to stay in, and it was already early in the morning.

This hotel, located not far from Luo Qi's original home, may not have the best conditions, but it has a front desk that can be bought with money.

While things were still going on in the Cyanbi Mansion, he didn't dare to take the risk of using his identity or Mowell's identity to register for accommodation, otherwise Arasaka or the military technology would not be ready and he would come to visit with an armored vehicle in the middle of the night.

"Go to bed early, it's been a hard day." Luo Qi lay on the sofa with his hands behind his head, looking at the ceiling, "Sorry, Evelyn's matter has nothing to do with you."

"Why do you say sorry?" Mowell sat on the bed, covered his legs with the quilt, hugged his knees with his arms, and looked at Luo Qi's profile.

The moonlight outside the window, mixed with the light from the night lights of the skyscraper, fell into the house, illuminating the not-so-spacious small room.

"You..." Luo Qi hesitated to speak, turned around on the narrow sofa, lay on his side and looked at Mowell.

"As you said, we're all homeless now."

Her jacket lay beside the bed, and now she was wearing only a form-fitting black tank top.

The vigorous and well-proportioned shoulder curves were exposed to the air, causing Luo Qi to look away slightly.

"Actually, I don't know where I should go now."

He exhaled in confusion, and continued to look at the ceiling that had no aesthetic design.

"I'll go wherever you go." Mowell's voice made him turn his head.

In the darkness, Luo Qi saw that face without much expression but full of serious eyes.

"I thought I was smart, and I had exhausted all my plans. I thought I would settle the bullshit of the Cyanbi Building. Relic got it, and the deal was [-]%. I washed my hands and flew away." He slowly narrated, "I didn't expect the people behind Evelyn He didn't intend to make a deal at all, and when he saw something happened to Arasaka, he immediately killed him to silence it."

The PDA has been shut down by him and the connection has been cut off. Now Johnny can only stay in the cyberspace and surf the Internet alone, and cannot hear his and Mowell's voices, so he made these remarks.

In fact, Luo Qi is not familiar with Johnny Silverhand. He knows that such a soul consciousness exists in relic, and it will continue to occupy V's brain in the original world line, but it is only limited to this.

Not to mention good feelings, even a little disgust.

But as they got along gradually, the two of them discovered that the other was actually a pretty good guy.

"It's a lie to say that you are not moved by the value represented by relic. You are innocent, but you are guilty of doing relic business with big companies. Forget it. You should know this better than me."

Companies are jackals, no matter which one.

She nodded, agreeing with Luo Qi's idea.

"I've finally realized that dreaming about once and for all is indeed a whimsical thing." Luo Qi laughed at himself, feeling a little depressed, "You can't lose money by stealing a chicken, or you can't beat a fox and get into trouble. I used to think that It's ridiculous, I didn't expect it to happen to me now, the clown is myself."

"As long as you're alive, it's not impossible to win." Mowell interrupted his self-pity, "At least you saved me, your brothers are alive, and there are no missing arms or legs. The situation is not too bad To that extent."

"Yes."

Rocky sighed.

"I'm just a little lost."

He held out one hand and turned it, letting shadows and light flow between his fingers.

People may not love this dream city, but many people can't live without it.

There are all kinds of people in Night City, and everyone has their own colorful stories.

The city itself is the tombstone of humanity.Once upon a time, Night City rose from the ground and was awarded the best city in the world.The rapid advancement of science and technology has never been able to and has never solved real problems. On the contrary, they have brought more new problems.

In Night City, everyone wants to get ahead.Fly camp dog dog, endless.

The bottom-up vertical design of the city corresponds to the level of social class.The life of the people at the bottom is basically living on the streets.They look up at the skyscrapers, and they also look up at the mortal beings on the high places.Night City has Night City rules.Sometimes dreams are created here, and sometimes ideals are empowered.Dreams are continued by advertisements, in which there are always lucky people who are favored by fate, and the fame and luxury that have never been elusive can only be reached in dreams.

In California, which has almost lost everything because of the war, only Night City is the place of hope.

His sight gradually lost focus, and his soul slowly flew out of the window, as if returning to the world where he was worried about danger even in sleep.

If this life is a dream, then let the heart follow the dream and tell the dream to the world, at least it will not lose the miracle of life.

At least, he still has "family".

The sympathetic V and Jack, the kind old V and the gentle Misty, Mrs. Wells who always told him to take care of Jack, and...

This guy who seems to be relying on himself.

Rocky looked at Mowell, who stared back with those deep eyes.

He didn't belong to this world. It was because of his family that his heart was not like a rootless duckweed.

"thanks……"

"Why do you want to thank you?" Mowell shook his head. "I don't like it. It's too raw and impersonal. Even if I want to thank you, I thank you."

Luo Qi looked at her for a while, showing a slight smile.

As for the mercenary's life in the rain of bullets, such a problem is not a problem at all.

When Mowell was in the military technology special forces, the work he did was far more dangerous than the small-scale commissions.

After saying good night for a long time to each other, the room returned to silence. Listening carefully, you can still distinguish the voice that belongs to the night of Night City.

[But it suffocated me to death, but you are good, once the PDA was turned off, I went to make out with my girlfriend. 】

Johnny's choked-up voice came out.

【I've had enough of staying in this living coffin, you have to find a way to get me out. 】

【Didn't you say it was good before?Changed your mind so quickly? 】

Luo Qi turned over, half-closed his eyes, and chatted with Johnny one after another.

[Come on, there is nothing here except data.In addition to the glasses and ears that can be used, it is better to be dead than alive. 】Johnny, who loves freedom, can't stay for a long time, 【Didn't you mention the relic designer?Go find him and see if there's any way to get me out. 】

【Release it?You thought it was a Zijin gourd, I told you to put it in as soon as you agreed? 】Luo Qi rolled his eyes, 【The one named Herman, Zhucun said he had defected to Kangtao, where can I find it for you. 】

[Then go to Kang Tao to look for it, don't be such a bullshit.Stay any longer, and I'm on the brink of being the most disgraceful death of a rock musician ever - stuck forever in a fucking chip. ] Johnny urged.

【Is that how you ask for help? 】

Luo Qi shook his head speechlessly, and fell asleep by himself.

【Then what do you want me to do?Confess you, fast and bathe for a few days, and kowtow to you a few more times? 】Johnny was furious, 【Well, I have a problem with my attitude...】

【I'm not dead yet, so I don't need to do this big gift. 】

Rocky felt a chill.

[For you, a soul that is locked in a chip and can't die for a while, I took a huge risk to find fun with the company?Even if I wanted to help you, it's definitely not a good idea, and we don't know each other very well, do we? 】

【call……】

Johnny exhaled and thought for a moment.

[Well then, you go to the Afterlife Bar to find Roger, she will have a solution. 】

【How to tell her?Say there is a soul in my PDA called Johnny Silverhand? 】

About Johnny, if you didn't see it with your own eyes, it would be unbelievable.

Even now, the few people who know that Johnny is still alive are still surprised by this figure from half a century ago.

[Believe me, Rogge has seen more outrageous things than this.In our time, your father was not born yet. 】

Johnny started showing his old score.

【Not always. 】

Luo Qi was not angry, and the corner of his mouth curled up in a playful arc.

[All in all, you are right to take me to the next life, I am really fed up with this feeling, it is more painful than fucking confinement. 】

[Have you closed the lock yet? 】

I only heard Johnny speak slowly in a recalling tone.

[I used to fight in Central America, and then I retired to play in a band, and those idiots found fault and locked me in several times. 】

[Ham, I forgot. 】

Rocky just remembered.

When the United States was fighting the Central American War, Johnny was discharged from the army because of the injustice of the war.Later, because they were not used to the oppression of the people, they set up a martial arts band representing the spirit of resistance, and they were often approached by the police or killers arranged by the company.

After disconnecting from Johnny, Luo Qi's drowsiness slowly came to him.

The exhaustion of the whole day began to be magnified, and the consciousness fell into a black dream.

"Uh……"

A slight muffled hum, especially clear in this night.

Luo Qi opened his eyes and got up with difficulty.

Mowell, who was lying on the bed, was wriggling slightly, looking uncomfortable.

"Mowell, what's the matter with you? What's wrong?"

Luo Qi hurried over, knelt and sat on the edge of the bed, and pushed her hand away from her head.

On her face, there was a frown of discomfort.

The picture in front of him was slightly torn, the brain hummed like waves, and the body, especially the spine, began to send tingling signals.

"Huh...huh...I'm fine." Mowell swallowed, his chest heaved deeply, and he tried to take a deep breath, "It's just a little uncomfortable."
