Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

Rocky squirts, then bursts out laughing.

The laughter couldn't be stopped at all, and the corners of his eyes were moist.

The pedestrians passing by first had a stiff expression, and then their expressions changed drastically. They stared at him with the vigilance of watching cyber psychosis, and slowly backed away.

"This is the family..."

After walking for a while, I walked slowly among the dilapidated bustling and messy hustle and bustle, looking at the relatively calm sea, the sun shining brilliantly among the waves.

The rain stopped at some point.

He put away the umbrella and held it together with the medicine bag.

There were unwiped raindrops on her cheeks.

He had heard what family was from Jack before, and he knew it, and he understood it, but he didn't understand it.

In Night City, blood ties don't have to be family.

The distance between several hearts is close enough to resonate, so there is a family of "the end of the world is close to each other".

Now, he and Mowell seem to understand.

"boom!!!"

Before Luo Qi could see it clearly, a figure flew out in a whirl, with sparks and lightning all the way, and fell into the wet garbage dump on the street, writhing like a mealworm.

Mowell withdrew his fist, and there was still a residual high temperature on it, which quickly disappeared.

The people around were a little startled, but all of them looked calm.

A bag snatcher gets beaten half to death—a familiar scene.

The bag in Luo Qi's hand, in the eyes of the gangsters wandering the streets, is a moving banknote.

There are not many people who can look up to serious doctors these days. If it wasn't for the fact that they just grabbed the ticket of the scavenger and gained a lot of money, Luo Qi probably would have bottomed out his cash this trip.

Drugs monopolized by companies are so expensive even at cost.

This is also Night City.

"Well, it's a pity that the mood just changed for a few seconds."

Luo Qi spread his hands helplessly.

"You can continue to be happy now."

Mowell said such a sentence, but Luo Qi did not see the meaning of joking from her face, but was indeed in a happy mood.

The air after the rain is a bit smelly, but it becomes much fresher, which is not contradictory.

Chapter 41 Did you smell it?the stench of the city

"This is Lucky."

Luo Qi accompanied Mowell all the way to Japan Street, and was sitting on a row of chairs by the street, admiring the sea view of Night City, when a phone call came in.

"Lucky, I think you need to know about Evelyn."

It was V, and his voice was full of exhaustion.

It seems that he didn't have a good rest last night, and he was dealing with Evelyn's affairs at Judy's house. All in all, he doesn't sound very good.

"of course."

Rocky put the call back to Mowell, too.

"Evelyn didn't tell us."

I can't tell whether V is angry, but the exhaustion engraved in every syllable cannot be concealed.

"Behind her may be the voodoo gang. I saw the Weaver mark."

Voodoo gang?

Luo Qi glanced at Mowell, who did not expect such a result, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"You mean that evil gang? The one with all the hackers?" He asked in surprise, "What do they want Relic for?"

Luo Qi always thought that Relic must be some competitor who had ideas about Arasaka technology, but he never expected that it would be a gang, or a mysterious hacker gang known for its evil sects.

"I found a clue in Evelyn's Mewtwo, which is probably a small church somewhere in Pacific Island. Judy said that the other party's hacking skills are very good, and I don't even know what she looks like."

V sighed, his throat a little dry.

"They want relic, the purpose is the soul of Johnny Silverhand inside, they say they want...to find Otto?"

"Do you know anything about this Otto?"

Alt?Who is that?

Luo Qi's first reaction was all images of giants of light.

【Fuck...】

Johnny jumped out unexpectedly.

[Johnny?what do you know? ——This Otto. 】

From a simple word, Luo Qi noticed the change in his mood, and frowned subtly.

[How the hell do I know. 】Johnny was angry and kept breathing, 【I've been dead for half a century, and I don't know more than you. 】

【Then why are you so excited? 】

Luo Qi was puzzled, but he knew that Johnny must have something to say.

【Depend on……】

This was the first time he had seen Johnny so upset.

That dull and irritable look is very different from the usual uninhibited gossip.

[Ott Cunningham, she is a genius hacker. 】

Johnny's tangled and angry tone seemed to want to bite off his nails.

【Your girlfriend? 】

Luo Qi subtly sensed the special ups and downs in the sound waves.

It seems that it is not the general nature of playing tickets.

That Otto, must have a special place in Johnny's heart.

【She's still alive... She's still alive...】

Johnny kept talking to himself, scurrying around in the dark cyberspace like a headless chicken.

For Johnny Silverhand, a bastard who magnified with a microscope and every cell had "Sea King" written on it, even if he said that he had sex with a woman with a strong company, Luo Qi would believe it.

But this Otto must have an extraordinary story.

[Half a century has passed, no matter what happened to her back then, if someone plans to use you to find her now, her situation will definitely not be worse than death. 】

Luo Qi reminded calmly.

And Johnny's brain was like a sudden static blast.

[Yes, you are right. 】

Johnny gritted his teeth and grunted a few times, extremely annoyed.

If it didn't exist in the form of a data body, he must have punched himself.

[Although I can't understand your feelings, being angry now won't help. 】

After Johnny was silent for a while and calmed down a little, Luo Qi comforted him.

[This principle is based on your father... Huh, calm down. 】Just as Johnny Silverhand was about to get angry, he swallowed back the swear words from his mouth, 【This shit that has been bad luck for eight lifetimes... Heh, it's a long story. 】

In the next few minutes, Luo Qi eliminated all kinds of dirty words in Johnny's words, and finally understood the situation back then.

In 2020, Johnny Silverhand encountered a sudden change.

The Arasaka Company ordered a group of gangsters to attack Silver Hand and his girlfriend Otto suddenly while they were walking and took away his love. Arasaka hoped to use Otto's extraordinary talent in programming to design a program called "Soul Killer" .

This program can copy and upload the thoughts of anyone connected to the device at will—there is no doubt that soul killers are very dangerous, because the person whose consciousness is uploaded is completely dead at the moment of completion, and has become a fixed person in the network. "Soul imprint".

Then Johnny made a plan:

First, he gathers a commando team to sneak into Arasaka and rescue Otto.

Secondly, he also asked the old buddies of the band to help-the Samurai band regrouped and gave a free performance, and this performance was directly opposite the Arfan Building in Night City.

Thanks to the fanatical fans, the commandos managed to sneak into the building.

Too bad it was too late—Otter Cunningham was dead.

Fortunately, only her body disappeared, and her spirit was uploaded by Arasaka's own designed soul killer, and trapped in Arasaka's mastermind.There, she couldn't escape, and Arasaka couldn't do anything to her.

Ott told Johnny not to go to him, but with Johnny's temperament, this kind of explanation is simply bullshit.

He made a thermonuclear bomb, a tactical portable nuclear bomb named "Bushido II", and in 2023, sent the Arasaka Tower into the sky.

Since then, Ott has fled to the outside of the black wall, which is the deep web destroyed by network viruses.

The deep web, or rather the old web, can never be separated from a person's name.

Lucky Buttermos, the greatest hacker of all time.

The virus programs he designed—Devil, Cerberus, and RABIDS, are deeply rooted in the cyberspace of the world without anyone knowing.These programs were originally used to infiltrate the system, cut data, and deliver viruses. They are his most proud and efficient multi-functional weapons.

But Batemos died for unknown reasons, and the moment his life support system stopped sending slow codes, the network collapsed.

The out-of-control virus programs instantly destroyed the system, corroded and released the out-of-control AI, and constantly tore the nerves of most Internet users.The data fortress was destroyed by self-aware viruses and fell apart. Some of these data were permanently lost, some were randomly destroyed, tampered with, and some were even completely corroded.By the time the emergency protocols of governments and megacorporations kicked in, the virus's devastation had stopped and the deep web was gone forever.

After the global network virus attack, people's attempts to rebuild the deep network failed, and the wild AI in the post-crash era began to threaten the safety of the company that made itself.The network infection in many areas is too serious, and once someone logs in, it will instantly destroy the entire cyber nervous system.Aggressive rogue intelligence systems, some of which were once out-of-control combat AIs, hunted down people who ventured into the ruins of cyberspace and retrieved lost data.

So cyberwatchers decided to cut the losses -- they created what is now known as the "black wall."

It's a powerful intrusion countermeasure (ICE) that can protect a broken but still usable network from rogue AIs roaming the ruins of cyberspace.

The black wall suddenly went online without warning, which means that all the cyber hackers stranded on the other side have no way to disconnect safely, nor can they survive endlessly in the cyberspace. The only way to meet them is to perish.

It's like adventurers or outlaws who went to explore the wilderness full of dangers and demons. When they want to return, they find that their original city has built a towering city wall—and there are no gates, and entry and exit are prohibited. .

The same can be said.

Before Batemos, the Internet was a free world, communicating what existed and what was not in the whole world, with infinite possibilities.

After Buttermos, the Internet is a walled city, isolated, with malevolent demons outside.

It's not that people don't want to conquer the lost ground, but the AI ​​and the mutating cyberviruses that grow freely outside the wall are getting bigger and bigger, and they are no longer characters that can be dealt with at will.

What's more frightening is that no matter how strong the wall is, it will eventually be destroyed by the ever-growing giants.

This is Cyberworld.

Then the problem is coming.

This neurotic voodoo gang not only knows that the imprint of Johnny Silverhand is sealed in the relic, but also knows that the latter can be found by using the relationship between Johnny and Ott.

[A hacker gang, looking for a consciousness that has been wandering outside the black wall for half a century. 】Luo Qi rubbed his temples, 【Is it impossible to work hard for a better tomorrow for the world? 】

【How the hell do I know? 】Johnny was furious,【In short, find that shitty voodoo gang first, then take a gun and stick a gun into their ass, and make them tell me stories about bedwetting when they were young. 】

【Do you know our situation? 】

Luo Qi expressed helplessness to this bastard who started everything from himself and rarely considered others.

【What situation? 】

Johnny stopped whining and complaining, but he still listened to Luo Qi's explanation with a fire in his chest.

In the communication channel, no one spoke for a while, Luo Qi, Mowell, Johnny and V on the opposite side.

Only the shallow breathing sound in the background sound proved that everyone was there.

【We stole Relic from the Cyanbi Building. ] Luo Qi's tone became a little lower, and he was a little frustrated, 【Do you know how much that thing can sell for?Even if we use the price of disposal of waste products and sell them to third-party companies, we can still get more than [-] million euros. 】

【We are not knights who roam the rivers and lakes in Night City and wield swords. We are just mercenaries who can hardly even pay their mother's rent. 】

He leaned back slowly, and the cold wall passed through the thin clothes, giving him a slightly calmer body and mind.

【In this city, I will give full play to my strengths, study and study, get a diploma, work hard to compete for a job, and start fighting with my colleagues. What is the best result I can get...?Be fucking a company dog!I have to desperately be squeezed by the company into a tool to squeeze others, and I have to use my hands to directly or indirectly peel flesh and blood from the people. 】
