Start in Night City

Herman was suddenly sweating profusely.

He is not blind, he can see for himself and knows that Lidya Su did not deceive him.

This is indeed the depths of the Badlands.

It is a wild place far away from Night City.

After realizing his situation, Herman gradually calmed down.

Because he noticed that although the people in front of him didn't look like people from the company.

But it doesn’t seem to be a random swordsmanship.

this is a good news.

If he was caught by someone from the Knife Club, Herman really wouldn't know what to do.

Because they are a gang similar to Viking bandits living in the year 2077, the rules of civilized people do not apply to them.

Herman even heard that some sword guilds still retain the custom of consuming hair and drinking blood.

Herman didn't know if these were rumors or if there was some truth to them.

But it was really great not to encounter random knife attacks.

Moreover, if these people in front of him want his life, there is no chance that he will wake up.

Since he is not dead yet, it means there is still room for change.

After calming down, Herman simply sat on the ground: "You... who are you?"

"You can rest assured that we are not sent by Arasaka Yorinobu, and we are certainly not from the Random Club. The reason why we are looking for you is to talk to you about the biochip, the relic you developed for Arasaka."

"Are you really not from Arasaka?"

"Anders Hermann, I know you defected from Arasaka. Considering the Japanese people's peeing habits, do you think that if we were really Arasaka, we would be able to keep you here till now?"

"Okay, okay, I understand, then who is your boss behind the scenes? If your boss offers a higher price than Military Technology, of course we can negotiate."

Herman instinctively thought that the other party was someone sent by another company.

But he couldn't guess which company it was.

It could be Kangtai, but it could also be biotech.

Although biotechnology and military technology are as good as wearing a pair of trousers, there are still some opponents of military technology within biotechnology.

After all, a company is always divided into many factions. This is something Herman, who has been working in the desert for decades, knows very well.

"I am asking the question now, not you. Although we are not from Arasaka, if you don't cooperate, I don't mind asking my companion to let you wake up first and figure out your current situation."

While speaking, Su Xiao pointed with her thumb at Emerick and Crispin who were standing behind her.

The two of them also worked very cooperatively, cracking their fingers crisply.

Herman was suddenly startled.

Could it be that I guessed wrong?

For the sake of Daisy, he quickly begged for mercy: "OK, OK, I understand, you can ask whatever you want, but please don't hurt me."

Su Xiao waved her hand to stop Emerick and Crispin: "That's right. Cooperate well and we won't touch you. After all, I am also a peace-loving person."

Panan, who had been standing far away from the beginning and had not come over, suddenly felt a chill.

A man who designed to kill an entire military technology transport team actually claimed to be a peace lover...

This is simply more outrageous than awarding the Nobel Peace Prize to the President of the United States.

"I know that relic can preserve a person's personality consciousness..."

Before Su Xiao finished speaking, he was interrupted by a somewhat excited Herman: "Conscious body, this is absolutely impossible, and judging from your tone, do you have a relic in your hand?"

Lidya Su was not angry when someone interrupted her words, but nodded.

"right."

Herman instinctively felt that the other party was lying.

But then he thought again, there seemed to be no need for the other party to lie.

He frowned and asked tentatively: "Where did your relic come from?"

Lidya Su did not answer immediately.

But think about it.

Regardless of whether Herman is worthy or not, and whether he can find a way to free Johnny Silverhand, he is destined to be placed under house arrest by Rogge.

He has seen the faces of Su Xiao and others with his own eyes. No matter which angle he looks at, it is absolutely impossible to let him go free.

Thinking of this, Su Xiao did not hide anything and answered truthfully: "I got it from Arasaka Yorinobu."

"Arasaka Yorinobu? Arasaka Yorinobu? Arasaka Yorinobu?"

Herman repeated it several times, and then as if he thought of something, his expression suddenly became shocked: "At that time in the Kanbi Building... was it you? Was it you?!"

"Absolutely." Su Xiao knew that even if he stressed, it would be meaningless without Emerick, Crispin and Panan, and Herman wouldn't believe it anyway.

He simply didn't explain much.

Herman's expression changed.

Obviously, he did not expect that the fierce man who had penetrated the Kanbi Building was actually standing in front of him.

No wonder he was able to fish himself out from a transport convoy heavily armed with military technology.

"You just said, how do you know the personality consciousness on the Relic?" Herman's expression became even more shocked: "Isn't that Relic plugged into your nerve slot now?"

"Who do you think I am, V Zhentian?" Su Xiao rolled her eyes at Herman, "Of course not, but we used other... uh, methods to verify this."

Herman frowned: "Other way? What way?"

"Okay, since you insist on asking," Su Xiao suddenly turned her head and shouted to the empty space on one side, "Johnny, what should I do?"

You're on. "

Herman turned his head with confusion and looked at the deserted space.

Then something happened that confused him.

A small spider-shaped robot appeared in that clearing.

"Johnny? You named a robot?"

It's not like Herman has never seen someone give a robot a code name.

But Herman had never seen the person who named the robot.

And, why Johnny?

For a moment, Herman didn't think about Johnny Silverhand.

On the one hand, it is because it has been more than fifty years since Johnny Silverhand died. Although the old fans of the Band often commemorate him, Herman is not an old fan of the Band. How could he remember?

On the other hand, there are at least hundreds, if not ten thousand, people named Johnny in Night City.

This name is as common as "Look, the boy in front of you is called Xiaoshuai, and the girl is called Xiaomei".

"Hello, you Arasaka bastard in a suit, pretending to give orders, it's really disgusting."

He was scolded for no reason, and Herman felt both baffled and aggrieved.

It’s not that there will be no artificial intelligence in 2077. The most famous taxi company in the city, Delama Taxi’s boss, driver, customer service, maintenance worker and other professional positions are all performed by artificial intelligence.

And floating vehicles are generally equipped with corresponding artificial intelligence.

It's just that the level of these artificial intelligences is very low, and they all have a particularly obvious mechanical sound when speaking.

Completely different from the little robot in front of me.

Therefore, Herman did not think that the little robot was artificial intelligence, but thought that Su Xiao was controlling the little robot and scolding him in a roundabout way.

Seeing Herman's aggrieved expression, Su Xiao knew that the other party had misunderstood her.

He spread his hands.

"Don't look at me. This is not controlled by me. To tell you the truth, what's inside this robot is Johnny Silverhand's consciousness. As for why, it's because I inserted Arasaka's latest invention - Relic into the plug of this robot. Inside the tank.”

Herman was as surprised as Su Xiao expected: "Johnny Silverhand? Conscious body? This is absolutely impossible!"

Johnny on the side sneered mercilessly: "Do you still need me to perform "Intubation" for you before you believe it, you bastard? Don't be shameless, that's about it."

"Intubation" is the famous song of Samurai Band, and many fans of Samurai Band believe that "Intubation" is the best song of Samurai Band so far.

Although Herman had never actually met Johnny, his bad mouth was very similar to the appearance of Johnny Silverhand in the Silverhand video he had seen online.

More importantly, he didn't think it was necessary for Su Xiao to deliberately control a small robot and imitate Johnny Silverhand to humiliate himself.

We are all adults, there is no need to play such childish pranks.

Suddenly, Herman seemed to suddenly think of something: "You just said that relic was inserted into this robot, so it turned into a silver hand? Then where did you get that relic you mentioned? Coming?"

Lidya Su was speechless for a while.

"Didn't I just tell you? You look like you're not yet sixty years old, but you're already suffering from Alzheimer's disease?"

Herman remembered that Su Xiao did say just now that the chip was taken from Yorinobu Arasaka.

"Yorinobu, Arasaka Yorinobu," a sneer appeared on Herman's face, "I knew for a long time that his plan would be useless, but I never thought it would turn out like this. Arasaka's high-tech products actually fell into the hands of mercenaries hands."

This time it was Lidya Su's turn to feel strange.

"Arasaka Yorinobu's plan? What is his plan?"

Herman was honest, and he didn't hide anything.

"What other plan could it be to resurrect Silver Hand?"

Lidya Su and Johnny looked at each other and couldn't help but take a breath: "What did you say? Resurrect Silver Hand?"

"There's no need to show such an exaggerated expression, right? Don't you know that Arasaka Yorinobu is actually a fan of Johnny Silverhand? OK, you may not know, but Yorinobu really admires Silverhand."

Yorinobu worships Silver Hand?

Lidya Su wanted to say what kind of April Fool's Day joke this was.

But today is neither April Fools' Day nor is this a joke.

Because Arasaka Yorinobu's various behaviors that go against his own class are enough to confirm what Herman said.

"Johnny? Johnny!"

Su Xiao called several times before calling back Johnny's soul who didn't know what he was thinking.

"Express your thoughts. The former crown prince of Arasaka is now your new head. What do you think? I want to hear your thoughts."

"Fuck you, uncle, I have a bullshit idea!" Johnny rolled his eyes angrily.

He felt that his heart was in chaos and his mood was complicated.

It was Arasaka who killed his girlfriend and himself;

It was Arasaka who worshiped him and strangled Saburo to death.

I am destined to have trouble with Arasaka in this life, right?

"Okay, no more kidding, you!" Su Xiao turned to look at Herman, "I want you to get Johnny Silverhand out of this little robot."

However, Herman's answer was not what Su Xiao wanted to hear: "It's not that simple.

. "

Lidya Su raised her eyebrows.

"You made Relic, and you told me it's not that simple? What do you mean? You want to raise the price on the ground? Then I suggest you take a good look at the situation you are facing now."

"If what you said is true, then the relic you got from Arasaka Yorinobu is the latest experimental version."

"Aren't you the technical director of Relic?"

"Maybe you don't know that there are several teams developing Relic, and even the general person in charge does not know all the projects thoroughly."

"So that's it. It seems that the old turtle in Arasaka doesn't trust you that much. No wonder you want to defect."

This sentence seemed to poke Herman's trachea, and his expression became obviously unnatural.
