Saburo Arasaka lives too long.
So many people mistakenly thought that he would live forever.
Until the end of the universe.
Johnny lamented. "I didn't expect that he would be here today."
Su Xiao patiently explained to Johnny·Silverhand, an old man born in the 1980s.
"You died during the Fourth Corporate War period. After Arasaka Tower was bombed by a nuclear bomb, the then President New America blamed Arasaka for the nuclear explosion. As a result, Arasaka's forces were uprooted and forced to retreat to the Japanese mainland."
"It wasn't until the outbreak of Unification War that Arasaka was invited back by Night City. As of now, it is already 2077."
Johnny said in shock, "Please come back? Why?"
He really couldn't understand it.
How much sacrifice they made to finally drive Arasaka out of Night City.
Why did this city bring Arasaka back again?
Is it worthy of those who sacrificed their lives before? Is it worthy of those who were persecuted to death by Arasaka?
"Because when Unification War, New America wanted to take advantage of the situation to unify Night City, Mr. Lucius Ryan, who was the mayor of Night City at the time, asked Arasaka for help in order to prevent this from happening."
"Fuck! How can there be such stupid people in this world? How stupid! Extremely stupid! Can such a person become the mayor? It is easier to ask God to send God away than to send him away. Now there is no more two nuclear bombs Bushido No. 2 and Katana No. 1 to send Arasaka away."
"New America is a tiger, and Arasaka is a wolf. In order to drive away the tiger, he invited the wolf to his home... Maybe Mayor Ryan feels that the harm between the two powers is the lesser. Compared with the tiger, the wolf is easier to deal with."
Johnny was pacing back and forth in the room irritably.
"Okay, assuming what you said is true, then how come I am in the body of this robot? If you didn't do it, then who did it?"
Su Xiao shook his head.
"I'm not very clear about the specific situation, but when you raided Arasaka Tower, you died there. Later, Arasaka used "Soul Killer" on you to digitize your consciousness and store it in their soul prison (of course they call it the data fortress)."
"Then, Arasaka developed relic, a biochip used to store personality consciousness. The purpose is to implant the personality consciousness on the chip into a new organic host at the right time to achieve the effect of 'immortality'."
Su Xiao This wave is endless.
Not only V and Jack's heads hurt when they heard it.
Johnny, who is just across the door, is also confused.
"OK, if you really can't understand it, then I'll change it to the setting of a fantasy work, which should be easier to accept:"
"--To put it bluntly, it means to make a copy of your soul first, and then store it somewhere. When your body ages or dies, the copied soul is put into a brand new container, and you are resurrected."
"As for whether the copied soul is still your soul, let's leave this to philosophers to debate. Anyway, that's the theory of Relic."
With this explanation, Johnny can understand it.
He quickly grasped the point.
"According to what you say, my body is already dead?"
"Not only did he die, the grass on his grave was even taller."
Johnny stopped talking.
His soul was stuffed into a robot that looked like a spider.
I can't see his ugly expression.
But it is not difficult to guess that at this time, his heart was in a state of chaos.
"Wait a minute," Johnny discovered the blind spot, "You said you didn't
It's Corp Dog, then how do you know it so clearly?"
"Because we did a lot of homework before taking this vote."
All the above information comes from the Mewtwo video recorded by Evelyn in the penthouse suite.
There is a clip in which Raijin Arasaka is sitting on the bed, holding a tablet.
That tablet was densely packed with relic information.
Because Su Xiao thinks it might be useful.
The information was stored at that time.
And when needed, it can be called out from Tactical Goggles at any time.
Su Xiao's rhetoric is watertight.
Johnny Can't fault it.
But he still didn't want to believe it.
Mainly because he was imprisoned in the shrine for who knows how long.
Now I finally left that hellish place.
But he was trapped in the machine shell.
And the world outside has suddenly changed.
It makes him, an old antique, somewhat out of step with the times.
"You should know, and you know almost everything. Now you should be able to understand that we are friends, not enemies."
Su Xiao said so much, of course not because of fear Johnny·Silverhand.
Not to mention that Xiaopingtou is just an auxiliary combat robot.
It does not carry any weapons.
Even if Johnny·Silverhand's body is resurrected, Su Xiao can still press him to the ground and rub him.
Su Xiao is not a person who advocates violence.
On the contrary, he is a peace-loving man.
When dealing with his enemies, he will of course strike hard and show no mercy.
When dealing with people who can become companions, he still wants to try his best to convince them with virtue.
Even based on what he knew about Johnny·Silverhand's life, he felt that based on their temper, they would probably not willingly accept Su Xiao's command.
Nor would he be willing to join Su Xiao's team.
That's okay too.
Anyway, you just need to reply Arasaka.
Then we are half brothers.
Johnny is indeed a sensible person.
After some careful thinking...
"Okay, you convinced me."
Su Xiao smiled.
He knew that Johnny was a person who could make sense.
"Then I'll open the door."
The rolling shutters opened with a bang.
The scene inside the house came into view.
The ground is a mess.
Various items on the shelves fell to the floor in a mess.
Even the hacker chair tipped over.
Johnny·Silverhand huddled on the server in the corner, even waving his spider-like long legs in an apologetic gesture.
V walked in, squatted next to T-BUG, and connected his personal cable to the latter's Neural Slots.
This is the fastest way to confirm the other party's situation.
A few seconds later.
V unplugged the personal cable.
"She's fine, she just fainted from being strangled."
Su Xiao nodded. "It's okay."
I noticed the weird looks in V and Jack's eyes.
"Let me introduce, V, Jack, this is Johnny·Silverhand. Johnny, this is V and Jack."
Jack looked at the little crew-head huddled in the corner in disbelief. "Are you really Johnny·Silverhand, that rock boy?"
Johnny was not polite at all. "Why, do I have to perform <Chippin' In> for you before you believe it?"
"No, that's not necessary, it's just..." Jack's eyes widened, "Shouldn't you be dead?"
Johnny said depressedly, "This is a good question, don't ask it next time."
Su Xiao on the side explained to Jack.
"The purpose of relic invention is to allow the personality consciousness stored in it to occupy a brand new organic host body. Theoretically, it should be a human. However, I don't know what happened, and Johnny·Silverhand took Xiao Pingtou away."
At that time, the relic was inserted into the slot with a small flat head.
Su Xiao just uses it as a container to temporarily hold relic.
After waiting for Silent Motel, take out the relic and give it to Dexter.
Of course, what happened next was slightly different from what was expected.
This causes the relic to stay in the slot of the small flat head.
"Anyway, this is the situation."
Suddenly, Johnny asked casually.
"Roger, is she still alive?"
Su Xiao glanced at Johnny.
"Not only is she alive, but she has become the queen of the "afterlife"."
"Afterlife?" Johnny was stunned for a moment.
Obviously this word is very unfamiliar.
"The Mercenary Holy Land of your time was "Atlantis", right? The "afterlife" of today is the "Atlantis" of your time."
"Fuck! It sounds like Rogge has been really comfortable these past few years."
Although the curse words came out of his mouth, he could still hear the relief in Johnny's voice.
"What are your plans next? Go directly to Rogge?"
"I kind of want to, but I can't do it."
"Why?"
Now it was Su Xiao's turn to be surprised.
He originally thought that Johnny would run to find Rogge immediately after regaining his life (in a sense, this is not wrong, although it is possessed by an iron bastard, but it is still better than being completely dead).
After all, whether it is the rumored relationship between the two or the
Now Johnny is asking about Rogge...
This is enough to prove that the relationship between the two is definitely more than just a relationship between a comrade-in-arms and an ex-girlfriend.
But Johnny was able to hold back and not go to Rogge...
"Let's not mention whether I can go in or not. Even if I can go in, what should I say when I see her?"
Johnny bent down and made a curtsey, but when done by a robot, it looked so ridiculous.
"'Hello, Rogge, I am your lover who has been resurrected from the dead and will remain forever until death.' What do you think Rogge's reaction will be?"
"Pfft!"
V and Jack couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing.
