Start in Night City

But still be more reserved and ladylike.

After the two of them calmed down, Lidya Su said with a smile.

"Okay, okay, let's go to the Wild Wolf Bar tonight and have a good night of drinking. I'll treat you."

"Wuhu! Great!" x2

V and Jack applauded.

But then Jack immediately grimaced and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"How about changing to Lizzy Bar, you know my mother..."

Lidya Su seemed to see what was on Jack's mind and patted him on the shoulder.

"It's okay, Jack, just tonight, I'm sure Mrs. Wells will allow it."

Mrs. Wells is not an unreasonable person.

She didn't like that Jack drank too much, and she wasn't just worried about Jack's health.

Also worried, Jack used alcohol to numb himself and escape reality.

After all, Jack's father was an alcoholic.

Mrs. Wells didn't want to see Jack go the same way as his father.

"I'll call BUG first and call her out."

As soon as T-BUG was connected, before he could speak, T-BUG's panicked expression appeared on the pop-up window.

"Su! Su! Oh no! Something is wrong!"

Seeing T-BUG's appearance, Su Xiao's heart sank.

"what happen?"

from

On the window of the holographic phone, what can be seen is that T-BUG is huddled in the corner.

His eyes and face were filled with horror.

"It...it's alive."

Su Xiao was confused: "Who is alive? What are you talking about? BUG?"

"It's... it's a cyber ghost... No, don't come over!"

Before Su Xiao could say anything else, the communication on T-BUG was cut off with a scream.

"Su?"

V and Jack saw that Lidya Su's expression was very ugly, so they both looked over.

"It's a BUG."

V frowned and said: "Arasaka's people came to find her? No, didn't Arasaka Yorinobu say that he was going to change the story?"

"No, it doesn't sound like it. She said it was a cyber ghost."

Like Su Xiao, V and Jack also looked confused.

"Cyberghost?"

"Jack, are there really ghosts in this world?"

Jack retorted: "How is that possible? This isn't a space opera."

The so-called space opera means science fiction mixed with fantasy, including guns and magic.

No matter how high you climb the tech tree, there will always be a place for melee combat.

Demons, evil spirits, and ghosts like to visit wild places on the edge of human territory.

V showed a thoughtful expression.

"It shouldn't happen in the real world, but in cyberspace... I can't say."

"V, are you serious?"

"Cyberspace, especially the old network beyond the Black Wall, has various legends circulating, and some are even more than legends."

V is half a hacker.

So I have heard about cyberspace.

More than one hacker has mentioned strange things he encountered while exploring the old network.

Some people even meet their long-dead family members on the old network.

Therefore, when it comes to the theory of cyber ghosts, V has always chosen an attitude of preferring to believe that it exists rather than believing that it does not exist.

V and Jack each held their own opinions, and Su Xiao said: "Forget it, it's not okay to continue arguing. Let's go back first."

Delamain's taxi took them back to the safe house in the industrial area in the north of the city.

The three people got out of the car.

Su Xiao did not rush over, but scanned it first.

Two red humanoid silhouettes were found in the house.

One of them was T-BUG who was panicking on the holographic phone just now.

At this moment she was lying on the ground, motionless.

But judging from the information shown on the scan, she was not dead.

Just lost consciousness.

But another humanoid outline is...

"Little crew cut?"

Lidya Su looked strange.

Could it be that the cyber ghost mentioned by T-BUG is the little crew chief?

But how is this possible?

The little crew chief is just a robot.

Without the operating chip, it will not move on its own.

What's more, they had already closed the small flat head when they entered the safe house.

At this time, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Lidya Su's mind.

"Could it be that it was that time..."

Jack saw that Lidya Su didn't speak or make any move.

Couldn't help but asked anxiously.

"Su, how's the situation inside?"

"T-BUG has fainted, but luckily, he won't die for the time being."

"Then...where's that ghost?"

"It's just a little crew cut."

V and Jack looked at each other.

From the other person's face, they could see the same surprised look as their own.

"Little crew cut?"

Lidya Su nodded.

"It seemed to be possessed by something, so it suddenly came to life and attacked the T-BUG."

Jack was shocked: "What the hell?! Is there really a ghost?!"

Jack's expression at this moment was like that of a staunch atheist who discovered that this world really existed and that something indescribable existed.

But Lidya Su quickly comforted him.

"No, it's not dirty, but I probably know what it is. Let's go and meet him."

Su Xiao took the lead towards the safe house.

But he didn't open the rolling shutter right away.

Instead, he spoke through the pager at the door.

"Don't hurt the woman on the ground. She is with us. We are not bad people."

The little crew member in the room was excited at first, and then he spoke in a slightly hoarse manly voice.

"Who the hell are you? What have you done to me?"

"What the hell..."

Before Jack could finish speaking, V nudged him with his elbow.

Then he pointed at Lidya Su and put his finger to his mouth.

"Shh, Jack."

Lidya Su made a quiet gesture to the two of them.

Then continue talking to the people inside.

"We didn't do anything to you."

"Fuck you, you damn corporate dogs! What is this? A new torture trick your boss has come up with? Do you think this will make me surrender? Do you want me, Johnny Silverhand, to surrender? I Bah! Stop dreaming about your dreams."

Jack's eyes suddenly widened like bells.

"Johnny Silverhand? The soul of Samurai Band, the legendary rock kid? The one who blew up Arasaka Tower decades ago?"

Lidya Su was not surprised at all.

It seems that he has known for a long time that the soul trapped in Xiaopingtou is

Johnny Silverhand.

That's for sure, after all, the relic containing Johnny's consciousness was inserted into the slot of the little crew cut.

"I'm going to correct you on a few mistakes. First, we don't have a boss."

"Secondly, Saburo Arasaka, the CEO of Arasaka Company, who killed you and your girlfriend, is now dead."

Johnny's roar came from the boy's head: "What did you say? You said Saburo Arasaka is dead? You are lying!"

"I didn't," Su Xiao shrugged, although Johnny in the room couldn't actually see his movements. "There is a terminal in the house, just on the table. Did you see it? You can check it online and you will know that I Are you lying?"

The little flat-headed combat robot has no personal connection line.

But the long spider-like legs can replace fingers and search on the virtual keyboard.

For a moment, everything inside and outside the house became quiet.

After a while.

"So, that old monster is really dead, and he died in his own property?"

Johnny's tone sounded incredulous.

No wonder.

Only by personally immersing yourself in the cause of fighting Arasaka can you deeply understand the enormity and terror of the militaristic beast Arasaka.

This is simply not something that an individual can shake.

It is like the Yamata no Orochi with eight heads and eight tails in Japanese mythology.

Even if you are lucky enough to chop off one or two snake heads, new ones will soon grow.

As for Saburo Arasaka, the core of the Arasaka Empire.

There is no doubt that it will be protected under heavy protection.

Don't even think about touching him.
