Please call me CyberGhost King

Chapter 273 V and Jack's Transformation
"."

Johnny Silverhand took the wine glass with a puzzled look on his face. There was actually a wine named after him?
Although this "legendary naming method" has been implemented for some time and is considered an old rule, it is obviously not yet fifty or sixty years old. When Johnny Silverhand was around, there was obviously no such thing.

Johnny Silverhand finished the wine in the glass in one gulp and tasted it. This wine had a very Mexican flavor and he quite liked the stimulation and warmth that filled his mouth. He didn't mind using his name.

"Is Corona added? You can taste it right away."

Johnny Silverhand was quite satisfied and said a few words to Claire with a smile. To be honest, this made Claire a little dazed. She always felt that the person in front of her was the real Johnny Silverhand resurrected.

"Yeah, Old Fashioned Tequila and Corona. You know what I mean."

Claire smiled and changed Johnny Silverhand's cup. She looked at Ke Ling and blinked to express her inquiry.

"I told you everything. This is Johnny Silverhand. Tell Roger to come and meet his old friend."

Ke Ling raised his eyebrows and took a sip of coffee. Claire knew his habit. The bar sold everything, not just alcohol.

"Are you sure? I really went there?!"

Claire's eyes were filled with shock. Ke Ling's attitude gradually made her begin to doubt herself. Could it be that Ke Ling was serious? !

"of course."

Ke Ling gave an affirmative answer and urged Claire to go quickly.

Full of doubts, Claire went straight to call Roger. In order to make things clear, she ran over herself. If this was true, it would be a big deal!
"?"

Roger looked at the anxious Claire and slowly typed a question mark.

"Claire, what are you talking about?"

After hearing what Claire said, Roger was a little confused. Johnny Silverhand was resurrected, and they were just sitting outside drinking. What was going on? Was this a joke? What day was today?
"Oh, just follow me and you'll know!"

Claire also knew that it would be hard for Roger to believe it unless he saw it with his own eyes.

Roger didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she still followed Claire out. She wanted to see what was going on.

"WTF?!"

However, after seeing Johnny Silverhand, Rogge himself could no longer hold back. He was already in his seventies or eighties and had experienced countless storms. As the "King of Middlemen" and the "King of the Underground", Rogge had never seen such a scene before!

"Is it necessary to be so surprised?"

Johnny Silverhand looked at Rogge, with a dazed expression on his face. Rogge was old after all, and it could be seen at a glance. The blade of time showed no mercy to anyone.

It was not until this moment that Johnny Silverhand truly accepted the reality. Now it was really the world decades later.

After all, in his impression, the last time they met, Rogue was still young and handsome, and still the energetic Cyber ​​Drifter.

"What the hell! Devil, what the hell is going on?!"

Roger did not answer Johnny Silverhand's question, but looked at Ke Ling in shock, hoping that Ke Ling could give her an answer. After all, this person was brought here by Ke Ling, he must know something and must know what's going on with this guy.

"Let's go in and talk."

Ke Ling stood up with a smile, and took Johnny Silverhand and Roger into the private room.

"As you can see, this is Johnny Silverhand who was resurrected by me. This body was found in the Los Alamos Laboratory."

After entering the private room and sitting down, Ke Ling spoke directly, which made Rogge's expression even more shocked.

"How can this be?!"

To be honest, Rogge felt like she was dreaming. She thought Ke Ling might be playing a trick on her. How could such a thing happen?!
"How is it impossible? Is it really that difficult to confirm whether I am really that difficult?"

Johnny Silverhand interjected. He felt that this would not be difficult for Roger. After all, they had a lot of common memories, and many of them were only known to the two of them. Any pair could get the answer.

"you're right."

Rogge gradually calmed down, looking at Johnny Silverhand in front of her, she was in a trance. This man seemed to have not changed at all, and still looked the same as when he was young.

Of course, after all, Johnny Silverhand has always been well preserved, and Angel's "love brain" has been protecting Johnny Silverhand's body, which is why Johnny Silverhand's body can still be used. Coupled with Ke Ling's healing, the body naturally maintains its youthful appearance.

"Do you need me to avoid it?"

Ke Ling raised his hand. Since they wanted to share a secret that only the two of them knew, he would naturally leave tactfully. What if it was some boudoir secret?

Tsk, thinking of this, Ke Ling tactfully went out. Although going out seemed to be of no use to him, if he really wanted to listen, he could still hear it, but he was not that curious.

"Eh? Devil? What are you doing here?"

After Ke Ling had been outside the door for a while, V and Jack Wells came over. Jack had also returned from outside the city. The big man from Heywood was extremely sad about missing the opportunity to show off in the Afterlife Bar, but he was also having a good time outside the city. He ran around with a bunch of vagrants every day, chasing those night-wandering ghosts that were fleeing in all directions.

The two had just arrived at the temple and didn't see Ke Ling, so they asked Claire, and Claire said Ke Ling was there, so the two came directly over. Claire actually wanted to come with them, and she also wanted to hear some gossip, she was itching to do so!

"Wait a moment, they are communicating with each other in secret."

Ke Ling said to the two of them with a smile, which confused V and Jack. What code was that? Who else was there besides Roger?

"Click."

The door opened and Johnny Silverhand came out. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Ke Ling standing with a man and a woman, and then he said:
"We're done, come in."

"Hmm? You're pretty fast."

Ke Ling was a little surprised. How could this code be so fast? It seemed to be a really powerful code, the kind that could confirm the other party's identity in an instant.

".What are you saying?" Johnny Silverhand was speechless. If you didn't know, you would think he was scolding him. At this time, Jack and V finally reacted.

"Fuck?! Who the hell is this?!"

Jack pointed at Johnny Silverhand and was a little incoherent. Of course he knew Johnny Silverhand and had seen a lot of information and videos. He was certainly not unfamiliar with this image, but he had never seen the living Johnny Silverhand!

"Johnny Silverhand?! WTF?!"

V was also shocked. There was nothing he could do. Which street kid didn't know Johnny Silverhand? Which street kid hadn't dreamed of becoming a legend like Johnny Silverhand? They didn't know the inside story. They just knew Johnny Silverhand was awesome.

"Where did these two idiots come from?"

Johnny Silverhand looked at Ke Ling and couldn't help but roll his eyes. What he said was already very nice because he guessed that it was probably Ke Ling's friend, otherwise he would have started cursing long ago.

"V. Jack Wells, the future legend of Night City."

Ke Ling introduced them with a laugh, which made Johnny Silverhand look strange, while V and Jack were still in shock.

"Am I dreaming?"

V muttered to himself, doubting everything he saw.

"Come in and talk."

Rogge spoke in the room and invited everyone in. She was still a little dazed, as if she could hardly believe what she saw, even though she had exchanged secret signals with Johnny Silverhand. Or perhaps it was because of the secret signals that she felt like this.

"Devil, could you please explain in detail? What is going on?"

Everyone sat down. Rogge looked at Ke Ling seriously and put forward her request. She still had doubts about the matter. Although this Johnny Silverhand did not seem to be fake, how did this guy come back to life?
Ke Ling did not refuse, but gave a general introduction and told the story of "RELIC 2.0". This shocked everyone greatly, and made Roger, V, and Jack look incredulous, as if they were listening to a myth.

"You mean to say that Arasaka Saburo created this thing that can revive others in order to achieve eternal life?"

V swallowed, thinking that the words he had just said were outrageous enough. Could he really do it?

"Wait a minute, Devil, so you're saying that he's not actually Johnny Silverhand? He's just using Johnny Silverhand's body?"

Rogge reacted quickly. As expected, this was what she cared about most. After all, no one wanted to waste their feelings.

"It depends on how you think about it. This is a philosophical question."

Ke Ling declined to comment on this. Everyone has their own opinions. This is really completely subjective and there is no right or wrong.

Johnny Silverhand was very calm, leaning on the sofa with a glass in his hand. He just wanted to enjoy himself. After being trapped for decades, he finally returned to the real world. Why think about all those things? Don't embarrass yourself.

Now he hasn't figured out the situation in this world and is still confused about the future, especially when he is being controlled by Ke Ling. He feels that he has no right to think about the future. He should first see who Ke Ling is and what he wants to do. This is his top priority now.

Looking at Johnny Silverhand who looked indifferent, Roger was actually conflicted. After all, all this happened too suddenly.

Moreover, if a person has Johnny Silverhand's body, Johnny Silverhand's memories, and Johnny Silverhand's personality, then if he is not Johnny Silverhand, then who is he?
“That’s outrageous.”

V sighed, they even figured out resurrection!
These corporate dogs, these evil capitalists, how much trouble do they want to cause the world before they are satisfied? !

To be honest, V didn’t have any ambitions before, or it should be said that she didn’t have much awareness. All she wanted was to stand out from the crowd and become rich and powerful, and she would be satisfied with that.

But now, after experiencing so many things with Ke Ling, she has gradually changed, and her thoughts and perspectives have changed.

Securicine painkillers, the Red Ochre family’s human experiments, Saint Domingo’s disease, the company’s manipulation of every aspect of people, the PUA of people, and the blocking of real information.

More and more bloody realities were revealed before her eyes, and the real world was displayed before her. She found it really difficult to turn a blind eye to these things and treat them as normal.

V felt that something was gradually taking root in her heart, and some spirit was rising rapidly, making it impossible for her to remain immune to it. She always felt that she should do something.

"Damn it! Let's blow up the Arasaka Tower again! This time we must kill Arasaka Saburo!"

After holding it in for a long time, V suddenly said something, which caused a silence in the private room. It was obvious that everyone was annoyed by V's remarks.

"Ahem, you may not know that the last nuclear explosion didn't do much damage to Arasaka, but Night City was severely damaged."

Ke Ling reminded V that blowing up a barren tower was not a good idea. It was only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. Or maybe it didn't even solve the symptoms. What was the point of blowing up a barren tower in the Night City branch?

"Well, what should we do? We can't just watch them do whatever they want, right? If this continues, won't the world be manipulated by these bastards like a toy?"

V touched her nose awkwardly, and then spoke unwillingly. There was nothing she could do. Her vision and knowledge were still limited by her education and life experience. She could not see or understand things that were too high or too far away. After all, she had always been hanging out on the streets, and what she knew and thought was limited to this.

“It’s really scary to think about it.”

Jack Wells also frowned. Compared with this news, the resurrected Johnny Silverhand in front of him was not that important. The serious matter was how to stop Saburo Arasaka from resurrecting!
"Devil, how did you get this chip?"

Roger narrowed his eyes. How could such an important thing appear in Ke Ling's hands? And it happened to be the chip containing Johnny Silverhand? Isn't this a bit too coincidental?

Obviously, Roger had the same suspicion as Johnny Silverhand. Could such a thing really be explained by coincidence?

"Why not ask Arasaka Michiko?"

Ke Ling blinked. His words made Johnny Silverhand look at Rogge, with a look of surprise on his face. Rogge, you are the "King of Middlemen" and "King of the Underground", but you are still unclear with Arasaka? You, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, are also a traitor? !
V and Jack were also a little surprised, but that was all. After all, if you are a street stalker, it is impossible for you to not have some corporate background in the end. You must have some cooperation with the company. Even if there is no cooperation in the open, there will be some benefits transferred in secret.

For example, the "Sixth Street Gang" is openly irreconcilable with the "Military Technology" faction, but they are secretly connected with each other, and even develop factional disputes because of this. The old members of the Sixth Street Gang are disgusted by this behavior and confront those who are pro-"Military Technology" faction.

The two Haywood men were naturally familiar with the Sixth Street Gang's affairs. Besides, there was the old captain, a local, who revealed the news.

The only ones who are truly xenophobic and self-contained are the Valentino gang, which is self-contained and deeply rooted in the community, but the new generation is becoming less and less capable.
