Start in Night City

"Otherwise, do you still want to wait for the New Year?"

"I thought your dates with your girlfriends were more important."

Despite what he said, Johnny still moved his mechanical legs and climbed into the elevator.

"Yeah, you blew my date, so you owe me a favor, Johnny."

…

Haven't been here for a while.

But the next life will still be the next life.

Nothing much has changed.

If there were any, it was the gangsters who squatted at the door of the afterlife and were blocked by Emerick from entering, one after another.

Although most gangsters know the rules here in the next life.

After Emerick refused, he left honestly.

Or just stay at the door of the next life and watch the fun and kill time.

But there are always those who do not believe in evil and want to test their own strength.

Then he was punched three times and kicked by Emerick, and he was easily beaten to the ground. He couldn't get up for a long time.

"Hey, Emerick, you're still so lively."

A voice suddenly sounded.

Let Emerick and the gangsters squatting nearby look.

When he saw Su Xiao in a white trench coat and came down from above, Emerick's face, which had remained unchanged for thousands of years and was no different from a living fossil, suddenly had a smile on his face.

"It's been a while, Sue."

"Isn't this too busy?"

"Are you here for a drink, or are you here to see Rogge? If you are looking for Rogge, I suggest you go to Claire's and order a drink first. Rogge is a little busy right now and may not be able to spare the time."

"It's okay, let me go get something to drink first."

Emerick glanced down at Johnny Silverhand who was following Su Xiao's feet.

"Is this little robot yours too?"

"Yes, there is no rule in the "afterlife" that prohibits robots and dogs from entering."

"That's not the case. It's just yours. Go in."

The gangsters squatting at the door of the afterlife, refusing to let in, were dumbfounded when they saw Su Xiao and Emerick greeting each other skillfully.

"Who is that young man?"

"Damn it, don't you even know about him? The famous Su is Rogge's guest. The middlemen in the city like to come to him when they have something to do. There is no list that he can't complete."

"It turns out that he is Su. I heard that he cooperated with Dexter before. Then for some reason, Dexter died, but he was still alive and well. Nothing happened at all."

"Shh, keep your voice down, the water here is deep."

…

"Sounds like you're someone too."

The sound of the gangsters talking outside did not escape Johnny's ears.

"It's not bad, I'm just trying to make ends meet."

Lidya Su said very modestly.

Having reached this level, there is no need to be too high-profile.

The middlemen in the city all know him and know what he is capable of.

The inside of the next life will be the same as before.

"Want something to drink? I'll treat you."

"Look at me like this, can I drink other than engine oil?"

"I almost forgot, mine, mine."

Emerick said Roger was a bit busy right now.

That's mostly business.

After all, Roger is the queen of middlemen, the middleman of middlemen.

Besides herself, there are many people in the city who need to ask her for help.

This is normal.

But what Lidya Su didn't expect was.

Before he could reach the bar counter, he heard a fierce quarrel coming from Rogge's exclusive box.

"No, it's you, it's you who got me involved! And, it's because of you that I have nothing!"

"I say it again, little girl, you can solve your own problems and wipe your own ass."

"I'm telling you, listen up - eat shit!"

Then, a young woman with wheat-colored skin walked out of Rogge's box.

He even bumped into Crispin who was guarding outside the box and staggered.

She came out aggressively.

At a glance, he saw Lidya Su waiting outside the box.

She thought that Su Xiao was also someone who wanted to see Rogge for something, so she reminded her angrily: "It's better to do business with her!"

Lidya Su kept watching the other party leave.

Johnny suddenly bumped Lidya Su with his little elbow.

"I understand, I understand, man."

"You know nothing," Su Xiao pointed her middle finger at Johnny angrily, "I've seen that woman before."

Su Xiao, Jack, and V had met the woman here before when they were discussing business with Dexter.

It seems that Rogge introduced her to a partner.

But looking at it now, it seems that the partner Rogge introduced to her has tricked her.

That's why she came to settle the score with Rogge.

Lidya Su organized her thoughts.

Putting all this aside for the time being, he said hello to Crispin and walked into Roger's box.

In the box, Rogge still looked like a boss, sitting on the sofa.

Looking up, he saw Lidya Su coming in with a robot, with a smile on his face.

"Isn't this my favorite little guy? What kind of wind brings you here?"

Su Xiao sat down in front of Rogge: "I haven't thanked you yet for the Clementi family's purchase."

"What's there to thank you for? You pay me and I give you the information. But since you said it, I have to express my gratitude - you're welcome. Come back next time."

Johnny moved his legs and climbed onto the sofa.

The mechanical eyes kept spinning and knocking.

"Fuck Rogge, it's really her. She has been sitting comfortably on the big sofa in the next life for so many years."

Johnny's words were not spoken directly through the loudspeaker, but placed on the communication channel.

"Are you planning to sell this thing to me?" Rogge didn't know that the consciousness inside the little robot was Johnny Silverhand.

She thought the robot climbed onto the sofa and was controlled by Su Xiao.

"No, cough." Su Xiao cleared her throat, thought for a moment, and considered what she was going to say next.

"What, Roger, do you remember Johnny Silverhand?"

Roger doesn't like nonsense and hates people asking stupid questions.

But the person who asked the question was Lidya Su, so she answered with a little patience.

"Remember, but why are you mentioning him? Don't tell me that you are also a fan of Samurai Band. I admit that their songs are quite good, but after all, it has been fifty years. Times are changing, and so is music.

It's also changing, and only Samurai fans are stubborn and refuse to admit it. "

Ever since he climbed onto the sofa, Johnny's mechanical eyes had been staring at Roger without moving away.

"Fuck! Rogge still likes to squeeze me."

Su Xiao was surprised and said: "She doesn't like your song?"

"No, she just simply doesn't like me."

"Don't like you? Then you asked me to come find her."

"No, the situation here is a bit complicated. I'll explain it to you later, if I'm still free."

"Isn't it Neptune? He sounds like it's the secret of the universe."

Lidya Su curled her lips disdainfully.

Johnny is an out-and-out Aquaman.

He had at least several girlfriends.

As for friends who only have business relationships, there are eighty to one hundred.

Moreover, Johnny has a very bad mouth and cannot speak well.

Lidya Su felt it during the time she spent with Johnny.

It's not so much that Rogge doesn't like Johnny, it's better to say that Rogge loves and hates him.

Love is natural because Johnny is a talented person. He has participated in the Central American war as a soldier, fought in battles, and carried a gun.

And after putting down the gun, he was able to successfully transform and become an outstanding rock singer.

Lyricist, composer, vocalist, guitarist, he can do it all by himself.

You must know that many American soldiers feel confused about their lives and future after retiring.

Many people have even become homeless.

But Johnny Silverhand became a popular rock singer, making the name of the Samurai Band resound throughout the Night City.

Brilliant doesn't even begin to describe Johnny Silverhand.

Hate is a pity that such a talented person cannot spit out ivory from a dog's mouth, and is too cynical and bohemian.

Lidya Su and Johnny looked at each other.

Seeing Johnny hesitate for a long time without speaking.

Let Su Xiao do it for you.

"Roger, actually, this robot contains the consciousness of Johnny Silverhand."

Roger said nothing.

But his face clearly said "You're fucking kidding me."

If the person sitting in front of her is not Lidya Su.

She had already chased people away by now.

Seeing that Rogge had obviously misunderstood, Su Xiao wiped the non-existent sweat on her forehead and looked at Johnny.

"Johnny, hurry up and do this thing that only the two of you know."

Johnny stopped talking.

He bent one of his mechanical legs into a circle.

Then use another mechanical leg to pass through the circle.

What does this action mean? Lidya Su cannot understand.
