Chapter Thirty-Eight: David Martinez, Remember the Name
"When we first met, I was Rogge, so let's not talk about it, you must have heard my name."
In a secret box, there are guards standing outside the door, and the table is filled with various styles of drinks and bartending utensils.
A signal jammer was placed in the corner to tell people who came in that it would be completely safe.
Rogge stretched out his hand to Lin Wen and put away her smile, she said seriously, "Now I finally understand why Mann's team was able to kill an entire team of heavily armed scavengers. ”
Lin Wen also stretched out his hand and shook Rogge gently, and then said with a smile: "Actually, in the next life, Rogge, I thought that I might meet you, and I also thought that I might be recognized by you, after all, you are different from those garbage middlemen, you have hands and eyes to the sky, not only Night City, but also many people who have you outside." ”
"There's no way, the company controls all the news, and if you don't go to the outside world to explore the outside world yourself, and only stay in Night City, then it's just what they say." Rogge sat down, opened a bottle of tequila, and took out a chili pepper from the small bag on the side, finely crushed the chili pepper, and put it in the glass, Rogge personally mixed the wine for Lin Wen.
"A little tequila, a little chili seeds, and a spicy ginger beer, come on, try it, you certainly haven't drunk such a bad drink outside." Rogge adjusted two cups, and then pushed one of them to Lin Wen.
"This is Johnny Silverhand?" Lin Wen looked at the wine in front of him, looked up at Rogge and said.
He knew the name of the wine, and Mann had introduced it to him, even though he hadn't drunk it.
"Yes, it's a terrible drink, but I hope you'll like it."
Rogge then said softly:
"If Johnny were alive, he would be happy to see you, and I think he would have made a piece of music just for you, because you're so cool in his heart, and you've done things he hasn't."
Lin Wen shook his head with a smile.
His understanding of Rogge and Johnny does not come from playing games in the cloud, but from a real understanding of being in this world.
Although Lin Wen was in the Asia-Pacific region at that time, the name Johnny Silver Hand resounded all over the world, and it can be said that everyone knows it.
It has even been said that the Fourth Corporate War was caused by him.
This old boy, but the thugs who blew up the company's giant Araban, also drove many cyberpunks to start anti-corporate and anti-government super male gods.
But according to Lin Wen's understanding, it won't be long before Johnny will appear again, as if Saburo's youngest son brought Johnny to Night City?
Then V is really going to appear.
As soon as these two guys combined, Night City's biggest cyber psychosis appeared.
"By the way, how long have you been in Night City?"
"For several years, all these years in a small clinic in Santo Domingo." Lin Wen replied.
"It's been years... So you really did those things? I'll just say, in a week, I killed a lone mercenary with thousands of wanderer families, and this thing can't be done by the damn thing with a heavy hammer, that's a thousand wanderers, not a thousand pigs.
You, if you let those guys know you're not dead, I wonder if they'll be scared to death by this. Probably hiding in the company every day, bodyguards crowded the company, security is all used, hackers and intelligence organizations have to burn their heads every day and lose their hair every day? ”
Rogge took a sip of her drink and frowned, even though she had drunk it many times, she still didn't like Johnny Silverhand.
She just can't forget it.
"Let the past pass, Rogge, we're old. I don't want to live my previous life anymore, I'm very satisfied with my current life, I take care of my children every day, spoil women, and be a doctor, and I live a really comfortable life like this. ”
"Yes, it's a comfortable day." Rogge nodded, "Just like me, the thing I hated the most before was the middleman, followed by this bar called the afterlife. I thought these bastards were dog mongrels who clinged to the mercenaries and sucked their blood, but now, I'm the biggest middleman in Night City, and I have an afterlife. ”
"People change, and monsters like you are no exception, but you want to enjoy stability..."
Rogge changed his words, looked at Lin Wen and said:
"Okay, but how long do you think you'll be able to hide? You want a stable life, but when they know you're alive, they won't be able to sleep. You are different from me, I am no longer a threat to them, the outside world is rumoring how powerful I am, the barren, the military, the biological, the big companies have to give me a face, they send me some tasks that are inconvenient to appear in the outside world, and then I send them to the mercenaries, it seems that I am passing the test, but only I know the real situation best.
The reason why I didn't have an accident was just that the fourth war had hurt Arabina's vitality, plus they were afraid that something would be revealed, Holman couldn't uncover the truth of the matter, Cunningham was still dead, and in the end, Johnny's bastard didn't really change anything. ”
"He thought he could change the world, but the world was still the same, no, even worse than before." Rogge said in an accentuated tone.
"I'm not a person who can be caught with my hands tied, whether you or they are good, they all guessed well, I'm just a monster, don't beat my calculations, if you really mess with me, then everyone should not pass." Lin Wen looked at Rogge and said.
"Unless you want to turn Night City into a second burning city."
You don't have to guess what Rogge is up to.
This woman is not a kind person, she can take charge of the next life and become the king of the middlemen, Rogge's methods are resolute, and she is now fighting her own ideas.
But let's do it, Lynvin Lorante, it's a guy who gets stronger every year!
"Haha!" Being stunned by Lin Wen, Rogge not only did not get angry, but laughed, she looked at Lin Wen, laughed and said:
"Of course, I know that you're as crazy as Johnny, and you're even crazier than he is! Of course you don't want to be restrained, you've fucking burned down an entire city, you've knocked over tables, you're a bastard who almost started a war! ”
"A dozen nuclear bombs failed to kill you, how did you do that? How innocent are the people who died because of you. ”
"Innocent? There were no innocent people, and when the bomb came down, all the people in that city died. ”
"Besides, wasn't I inspired by Johnny?"
"He just blew up a tower, but you burned a city, and you said you were inspired by him?"
"Blue is better than blue, this is a sentence in my country that the younger generation is better than the predecessor." Lin Wen said with a smile.
Rogge and Johnny are both older than him, when Johnny was active on the battlefield, Lin Wen hadn't crossed over yet, and the first time he did it to the barren board, it seemed to be... In 2013?
If Johnny were still alive, he would be running to ninety by now.
That said...
Lin Wen looked at Rogge's eyes suddenly a little strange.
Rogge, an old lady who is about to be ninety years old, but still so charming.
"Don't worry, I just want to live well now, I'm not Johnny, but if you can, I still hope you can help me do something."
Rogge's tone relaxed.
Of course she is not afraid of death, she has died a few times decades ago, and the reason for her relaxation is because Rogge knows very well that this guy in front of him can't be lit, he really ignites, he can really burn down a city.
As a JC in a city, tsk, but he destroyed the place where he lived with his own hands.
"I'm not a mercenary." Lin Wen shook his head and refused.
"And what happened last night? Don't tell me you didn't go to Taiping Island with Mann last night. ”
"It's just a part-time job, I don't have a single prosthetic body, what kind of cyber mercenary should I be?"
"Then you can also work part-time for me, I just have a few tasks that no one can solve."
"I said, I'm not a mercenary." Lin Wen looked at Rogge angrily.
took a bottle of rum on the wine table, Lin Wen poured it, then drank it all, and then looked at Rogge, Lin Wen said with a smile:
"However, my child can try."
"Your child?"
"David Martinez, remember the name, Rog, that bastard kid, one day he'll be the new legend of Night City."
Lin Wen said with a smile.
Since David really wants to be a mercenary, then, go for it.
Lin Wen is not afraid of things, but disgusted with things.
No, it should be said that I almost became misanthropic.
His name is Lin Wen, and the surname Lorante... It was the last thing left to him by a dead old guy.
So if it weren't for Gloria, Lin Wen might still have taken that path...
Rogge is right, in this era of data floods, there will always be accidents, and it is very difficult to hide them.
After all, when relatives, lovers, and friends are hurt, does Lin Wen have to stand aside and watch? Then comfort yourself afterwards, you have to hide, you have to be honest, you can't expose it, the company dog will find you, you have to be calm.
But the wounded ... What if it's Gloria?
What if Sasha?
What if it happened on the King's Road again?
Calm down...
It's impossible.
Therefore, it is also necessary to show some muscles appropriately.
But before that, the people around Lin Wen had to have the ability to protect themselves.
You have to be strong.
And Night City is the best place, no matter which company it is, there is no absolute controller in Night City, the more chaotic it is, the better the fucking it is for Lin Wen now!
"You can give him all the tasks."
"I've never heard that name." Rogge frowned.
David Martinez...
Who's this? When did Mercenary No. 1 appear in Night City?
"Then start remembering now."
"I'm ready, if you want to contact David, contact me, I'm his guardian." Lin Wen stood up, and then walked out of the private room.
The doorman lowered his head and glanced at Lin Wen coldly.
————
In the private room, Rogge sat quietly.
"Johnny, the guy you mentioned, he's really coming to Night City."
"It's just a shame that you bastard, you can't see him again."
"He's better than you think."
One against a country, one against a bunch of companies.
yes, he's really good.
The picture of the little old man in his hand... Now that I think about it, it was a fucking good shot.
Rogge stood up, and poured the rest of the drink from his glass onto the floor.
Johnny Silverhand, that is a bastard who can sacrifice everything for the sake of romance.
All his life against the bastards of the company's business.
A bastard she loved.

This book is an invincible easy question, but this book is not about pretending to be forced to slap the face and change the map flow.
My last book of Twin Cities is not a map change stream.,I don't like to write a map change.,Because if you don't change it well, it's super abrupt.,I'm the kind of author who likes to connect various places.。
