"I don't know why, but suddenly there is a feeling of relief from the old father."

Luo Qi looked at Johnny and suddenly laughed.

If this bastard has grown up, it's not a waste of other people's worries about him.

"I see some people as friends, but they can't even stand being in the same room as me."

Johnny seemed to have remembered something, sat down, wanted to smoke a cigarette, but only felt lonely.

Not to mention that he didn't bring it at all, and he is also a mechanical body.

"Although we haven't known each other for a long time, you don't seem to dislike my manner at all."

"Yo, to be honest, you're disgusting to me."

Rocky shuddered.

But he was 100 million percent sure that Johnny was just an old pervert, and he wouldn't do those ♂♂♂ angry things at all.

In other words, these words come from another identity——

Truth between friends.

"It's impossible not to hate it, it's just getting used to it."

Luo Qi smiled, "Sometimes I think you're not such an asshole, but sometimes I think you're just a purebred idiot."

"You're not the first person to say that about me."

Johnny was silent for a moment, and then seemed to be lost in memories of the past.

"Do you still remember the first time we met? At that time, you didn't understand the situation, and chatted with me incoherently. It seemed like a stunned young man who had never seen the world."

"Later, you had to beg me to delete your 'study materials'."

Luo Qi's eyebrows couldn't help twitching.

It was almost the moment of death, and even thinking about it now makes my scalp tingle.

"Then you are similar. When you wake up, you want to fight me noisily, thinking that I am the person sent by the company to torture you."

"Then for a while I felt that it was good to live like this, and for a while I felt that it would be better to die like this."

Luo Qi also exposed his shortcoming without mercy.

"I didn't expect that such a long time has passed. It seems like we just met yesterday."

Maybe it's because of a different body, maybe it's been too long in the chaos, Johnny's concept of time is a little unclear.

"So what do you think? Do you still think that the city is full of stench that you can't bear?"

Rocky asked.

"Still the same, but... different."

Johnny stood up, walked in front of Luo Qi, and then walked back and forth in the limited space.

"Sometimes I feel like I just woke up from a coma, and other times I feel like I've been back for a long time, like I've been in this world since the year I was born."

He slowly told his feelings.

This is a one-of-a-kind experience, the only one in the world.

"I don't need to sleep, and I can't sleep. I close my eyes and my mind is full of memories of the past years."

"It's as if I haven't forgotten anything. It's never been so clear."

"But they are too real, and they seem to be all my wishful thinking, which makes me wonder if I am still comatose in the endless chaos. Everything around me, including you, is just data fabricated by Arasaka to deceive me."

Ah……

Luo Qi couldn't help laughing.

"Don't worry, the only point is negative."

He shook his head.

It was his own system that repaired Relic, and it had nothing to do with Arasaka.

Thinking of this, Luo Qi couldn't help but sigh——

Like Johnny, I actually have reasons to doubt the authenticity of this world.

Johnny still knows that Relic is Arasaka's creation.

So, is he a living person, or a creation of some mysterious technology?

"Don't think so much, it will only increase your troubles."

Luo Qi shook his head and said firmly.

He has thought about this question for countless clear nights, and he has also asked himself.

"If you want to know the answer, then find a way to ask Arasaka directly."

This is also his answer.

If you want to know what it is all about, look for possible causes.

"Yes, I do live, as if this body is mine, and I am free."

Johnny controlled his left hand to open and close, wanting to feel that real presence and feedback.

"Only once in a while, I feel like I'm missing something—something really important."

"for example?"

Luo Qi looked at the sunglasses he put on again and asked.

"False, empty, unreal."

Johnny stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to grab something invisible and slip away from his eyes.

"When you've been through so many incredible things, you start to doubt everything."

"But every time I see you, I feel grounded, and then a huge sense of relief overwhelms me."

He looked at Luo Qi with an almost straight look.

"Because I'm the first person you see when you come back to this world."

Luo Qi nodded, "This will remind you of your past, how you were awakened, and how you were resurrected as you are now."

"Sometimes I have similar dreams, as if this world is not real and I belong to another world."

He smiled wryly, then was speechless.

It was a feeling Johnny couldn't understand, even if he was the most likely person in the world to understand it.

"It sounds like you're weirder than me."

Johnny crossed his hips, even with a mechanical body, he still looked foolish.

"Maybe."

Luo Qi didn't know if it was possible.

"Humans are social animals. A complete mind not only has an internal body, but also interacts and connects with the external world. This bond of responsibility and sense of existence will maintain many things, and ultimately make people a complete person."

"I like that remark, who said it?"

Johnny tasted it carefully, and finally felt that these words made him feel very at ease.

It was this connection that made him feel that he was not in a fantasy, but truly alive.

Into, and in, this world, this city.

Not a lonely, bewildered digital ghost.

"Mr. Luo Qi, a famous cyber philosopher in the middle and late 21st century."

Luo Qi raised the corner of his mouth.

"Oh, you are much more interesting than most people."

Johnny couldn't help laughing, but he didn't have lungs, otherwise he would probably be able to laugh "goose goose goose" for a long time.

"I think so."

Rocky nodded.

You can't be too pessimistic in this year, otherwise you will have to treat yourself with "jade jade syndrome" every minute.

"It's not surprising that you feel this way."

Luo Qi saw that Johnny's mood seemed to be getting better, so he continued.

"I read some books when I was researching cyberpsychosis. It is generally believed that the use of prosthetic bodies will bring various mental and physical effects to users. Phantom limbs are only the most common type of them, and they can often Seeing some people keep touching their prosthetic body, trying to feel the original sense of touch.”

For the condition of Suzi and Melissa, Luo Qi specially asked for some relevant information from the prosthetic doctor at the headquarters, and even directly communicated with them for quite a long time (actually, chatting).

Alex Murphy's severe trauma and full-body replacement surgery allowed him to directly observe the reactions of this highly prosthetic person to these changes, especially the various representative words and deeds.

"It's just changing the prosthetic body, and there is such discomfort. You are... uh, take out the soul and dry it, then put it into a chip, seal it for half a century, and then stuff it into a whole mechanical shell .”

For a moment, Luo Qi didn't know what to use to compare Johnny's current situation.

"It's really the only one, do you think it's comfortable?"

Not to mention the mental instability.

Luo Qi would not be surprised if it was someone else who would directly become a digital ghost version of cyber psychosis.

"I don't know if that's a good thing."

Johnny can understand Luo Qi's theory, but no one knows what will be faced next.

Even a biochip expert like Anders Hellman, the chief designer of relic, was at a loss.

"What you have to do now is to live well and think about how to make up for the ridiculous things you did in the past."

Luo Qi really wanted to slap this old bastard who woke up so late.

"Especially Rogge, she has done too much for you."

"The friends you mentioned should have her share, right?"

Hearing what Luo Qi said, Johnny couldn't help but want to smoke again, but in the end he put his arms around him and began to recall the past that he didn't really want to face.

"Rogge, Otto, Kerry, Santiago..."

These are all well-known big shots, and they are all famous in terms of ability.

Of course, including Johnny Silverhand himself.

"Anyway, Rogge is still here, otherwise it's useless for you to regret going anywhere."

Luo Qi felt sorry for him, but also thankful.

It's a pity that he did so many stupid things in the past, but fortunately, he has the opportunity to make up for it.

Perhaps for Rogge, this is also like a dream.

I thought it would be like this for the rest of my life.

Then an old bastard who had been dead for half a century jumped out of the field and said he was actually alive.

"It's been 50 years, things have changed, and I don't want to forcefully intervene in her life."

Although Johnny was sorry to Rogge, he was a little timid at this moment.

Perhaps this is a side effect of pushing too hard.

Jiang Shan is easy to change, but his nature is difficult to change. He finally changed his temper, but even Johnny didn't have much courage to face the past.

"Come on, you will hurt her the most if you don't intervene."

Luo Qi shook his head, "From the day you came back, you have completely changed her life, turning the world upside down."

"Well, that's right."

Johnny felt that Luo Qi was a reliable friend at this time and could give him various suggestions.

Hesitating is really not the character of "I am the best in the world" Johnny Yinshou, but today, he has hesitated too many times.

It can be seen that Rogge is actually equally important to Johnny.

It's just that neither of them dare to face up to this matter.
