Chapter 438: A reunion after half a century

is still so crisp, still so heroic, except that her appearance has become a little old because of the passage of time, she is still the same as before.

It's a pity that compared to before, she is a little less crazy, and she no longer looks as violent as before, but has become more calm, like a glass of strong wine with the passage of time, and the taste has become more mellow.

Johnny Silver lowered his head and played with the glass in his hand, and through the reflection of the light, he could faintly see the figure reflected in the glass.

It could be seen that Rogge did not recognize himself immediately, but was attracted by the little ghost next to him.

But he wasn't surprised.

After all, time is a pig-killing knife, no matter what it touches, it has to be sharpened, maybe Rogge has already come out of the shadow of the past.

This is Rogge, this is her, she will never stick to the past, she has always been a forward-looking person.

And she should have been a person who has been dead for decades, and the impression of "the silver hand is dead" has long been deeply rooted in her brain.

Even if his own performance makes Rogge feel familiar, it is impossible for the other party to recognize him as a living "Johnny" at first sight.

Perhaps it was because he had met an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time, Johnny fell into a brief thought for a while, and he didn't even listen to the polite greetings of Rogge and Lin Mo, until a sound of inquiry came from beside him to wake him up again.

"Who is this new friend, don't you want to introduce me?"

Rogge moved his gaze to the man beside Lin Mo, looking at his back sitting on the chair, and the silver metal prosthetic hand on his left hand, a sense of familiarity rose for no reason.

In fact, when she heard that Lin Mo had walked into the bar with a newcomer after many days, she was already a little surprised.

As one of the people who knew about the nuclear explosion incident, she can be said to be one of the people who know the "Ink Shadow" the most, and also learned about the fact that the "Ink Shadow" is Lin Mo through the information channel on Kitagawa Hao's side.

Later, through her own intelligence network, even if she didn't have a face-to-face conversation with Lin Mo, she also discovered part of this kid's identity information.

Therefore, for such a mercenary who became a deceased legend with the help of "fake death", and also successfully deceived his own head, the only thing Rog could do was to laugh it off.

Then, after a meeting, when both sides had a showdown, she also chose to continue to cooperate with Lin Mo and maintain a good relationship between the two parties.

The "Ink Shadow" wine is still on the wine list.

Now that he has become a legend, Lin Mo, who has become a partner and a big financier and appeared in front of the stage, definitely does not need to do the task entrustment of the "big injustice" in the past.

So, except for the occasional bar hangout with his friends, this kid rarely appears here at other times, and most of the time he is in groups of three or five.

But now, he is alone with a newcomer... So after the greetings, Rogge naturally wanted to focus on the black-haired man.

"It's been a long time, Rogge, I didn't expect that we would see each other again in this way."

Johnny turned his hand slowly, and the eyes under the sunglasses were faint but calm, but they pierced Rogge's eyes as if they were penetrating, making the latter's eyes widen uncontrollably.

Although it is slightly different from the image in his memory, it is still the sloppy, uninhibited familiar face, and the "rebellious" temperament from the inside out, for a moment, Rogge feels as if he has returned to the past.

"You... Who are you! After a brief gaffe, Rog regained her composure, her voice lowered, staring at the man in front of her as if she was about to devour someone.

"Who else can I be, and besides, you're not blind, do you still need to say it?" Johnny smiled wistfully.

"Johnny...?" Rog uttered a name incredulously, seemingly uncertain.

But she quickly reacted and knew who she should ask now.

Immediately, those sharp eyes suddenly looked at Lin Mo, who was calmly drinking a drink on the side, and she asked sharply, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Lin Mo held the cup, looked at Rogge, and finally didn't say anything, just nodded calmly.

Immediately, he calmly glanced at the lively bar again, and sure enough, because of Rogge's appearance, many people had already looked at this place.

Rogge immediately understood, he glanced at Johnny and Lin Mo, and soon strode towards the center of the bar, shouting:

"Alright, guys, that's all the bar for tonight, we're closed, you can go home!"

"Ah, so fast? I haven't even finished my drink. A passer-by mercenary asked, puzzled.

"No, you're done, a sip of business." Rogge's fierce gaze swept over, and the mercenary suddenly didn't dare to say anything, so he had to drink the wine in his hand in one go, then put down the wine glass, and got up and left in a gloomy manner.

"What's wrong, why did it close so early?" Claire, who was at work, couldn't help but walk over and ask.

Rogge glanced at her and replied very casually:

"It's nothing, you can leave work early, and I'll finish the rest."

Hearing this, even though she was still confused, but the boss said so, Claire didn't dare to ask anything more, so she had to crouch down and get out from under the long table at the bar.

After a while, only Rogge, Johnny and Lin Mo were left in the originally lively bar.

"You look much more majestic than you used to." Johnny couldn't help but sigh.

It took less than two minutes to fill the huge bar with both well-funded customers and mercenaries who were a little famous on the road.

No matter what they were doing at the moment, the moment they heard Rogge shout "close", they almost immediately stopped what they were doing and left the bar without complaint.

This kind of practice of not caring about customers at all, and placing it in a random restaurant outside is likely to cause dissatisfaction among many customers, but Rogge did it without any worries.

She is indeed the queen of this bar.

Rogge directly ignored his words, turned his head to look at Lin Mo, and asked solemnly:

"Don't talk about it, boy, hurry up and give me a look, is this guy a silver hand, or did you find an actor and put on a sex puppet chip to bluff me?"

"I really the dog, am I really, can't you see it? Have years of pampering and pampering your eyes been broken? Or have you become awesome and don't recognize your old friends? Johnny was suddenly unhappy, and several questions came out of his mouth like cannonballs.

That's a long explanation... Lin Mo looked at the two who were about to quarrel.

Sandwiched between the two, he sighed helplessly, glanced over at Johnny, and realized that this rotten man wouldn't bother to explain.

Even he didn't dare to let Johnny explain.

With this guy's uncontrollable temperament, it's hard to guarantee that he won't add fuel and vinegar to the explanation process.

Moreover, Rogge's help will definitely be indispensable for future planning and arrangement, so it is not in the way to inform the other party of some details of the plan at the moment.

But there are some things that it's better not to let Rogge know about them first.

After careful consideration, Lin Mo finally organized the language, first briefly described his future plans, and the cooperation project he reached with Arasaka Lai Xuan, and then told Lai Xuan about Lai Xuan's defection from Arasaka's company headquarters and the theft of the RELIC2.0 chip.

......

"So Johnny is not a living person now, but a product of the transmission of personality consciousness to this body through some kind of technology?" Rogge thought thoughtfully, bowed his head in thought.

Lin Mo nodded, agreeing with her statement.

Johnny frowned, and couldn't help but interject again: "I said, can you not use the word product to describe me, do you know that this kind of title is particularly disgusting?" ”

"Heh, there's something else that can disgust you? You don't look at what you're doing now, what's the matter, can you still smell it? Rogge glanced at him disapprovingly, as if he were looking at a piece of trash.

"It's okay, thanks to this kid, I'm eating and sleeping well now, not to mention how comfortable it is, no matter what, it's better than staying in Arasaka's data prison." As if to prove that he was a normal person, Johnny took out another cigarette case from his pocket and lit one beautifully.

Rogge sighed softly, and didn't delve too much into the topic.

"How long have you been back?" She asked after a moment of silence.

"Just tonight, I'll come to you as soon as I come back, what's the matter, are you moved?" Johnny asked in a low tone.

"No, it's best if you don't come back, after so many years, I've actually long since pulled myself out of the past... But now you've shown up, as if to say to me, everything I did in the past didn't make sense. Rogge lowered his head and muttered, his tone extremely complicated.

Johnny was slightly stunned, and asked after a while, "I see that you are doing quite well now, what have you done in the past?" How much does it have to do with me? ”

Rogge looked up at him again, then shook his head and said, "Nothing..."

"Ahem."

A brief cough interrupted the conversation between the two, and Lin Mo, who was sitting next to the two, kindly suggested:

"Otherwise, I'll avoid it first, you two should have a lot of things to talk about, so I won't bother, let's go first."

"I said that I would be a tour guide for Lao Tzu, but now I am going to escape?" Johnny still had that slightly mocking tone.

Lin Mo was not affected by him, and said in a flat tone:

"Mr. Silver Hand, the identity of the tour guide is just my verbal agreement, there is no entanglement of interests between us, theoretically I don't need to be responsible for you, in addition, I just want to find a place to stay, leaving a quiet atmosphere for the two of you to chat."

"Then you're still interesting, okay, you can get out now." Johnny said.

...... If it had been someone else, he might have picked up the bottle and slashed it at this rotten man's head.

Sometimes Lin Mo also admires his steadiness very much, but he may also be affected by the memories of past games, and he has quite immunity to the bad words that pop out of Johnny's mouth from time to time.

Giving Johnny back a middle finger, Lin Mo picked up a bottle of drink on the table and walked to the VIP booth alone.

Rogge's gaze swept back and forth between Johnny and Lin Mo, and suddenly commented:

"Looks like you two get along."

"Heh, I've never met such a disgusting little ghost, it's not big, but there are a lot of ghost ideas." Johnny's fingers tapped on the table, and he suddenly glanced at the empty wine glass, and then remembered that he had just drunk a glass of wine.

He looked towards the wine cabinet, raised his eyebrows, pointed to a glass lattice on the counter and asked:

"Is that bottle of wine mine?"

Rogge followed his instructions and saw a "Martial Warrior Band" logo and several promotional posters stored on the top glass compartment of the wine cabinet, with a bottle of spirits in the middle.

"yes, I've kept it, and I don't know what I'm doing with it, but now it seems that it's quite appropriate to greet you with it." Rogge said as he slipped into the bar and took the bottle from the cabinet.

"Okay, after so many years, I believe it should taste the same as yours, and it will never disappoint me." Johnny picked up the glass and asked Rog to help make it.

Rogge shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Don't play tricks." ”

She took the glass, opened the bottle and poured the liquor into it, then placed the full glass in front of Johnny.

Johnny raised his head and drank the liquor in his hand, feeling the burning sensation flowing from his throat into his body, this realistic neural signal transmission technology, he couldn't help but admire:

"It's a good wine, and the body's sensory system is pretty good..."

Looking at the happy and comfortable look on his face, Rogge couldn't help but feel funny: "Just come back for one night, and you will be completely adapted?" ”

Johnny slowly poured himself a glass of wine and said indifferently:

"Adapt? Heh, I also lived in this city fifty years ago, and after all these years, has this fucking city changed? I still need to get used to it...... I went to the toilet before I came, and I was robbed there by a few thugs. ”

"Oh?" Rog looked up at Johnny curiously, and asked with a smile, "Don't tell me, you can't beat me?" ”

Johnny said calmly: "It's just a few dog offal, and I can't get on the table... It's just the experience of coming to the bar that makes me a little irritable, and always makes me feel the urge to burn the city to ashes. ”

Rogge's heart moved, and he couldn't help but think of the plan proposed by Lin Mo, and after thinking for a while, he asked:

"So, you're going to agree to that kid's plan, isn't that quite what you want?"

"It's not that easy, I haven't said yes yet." Johnny shook his head.

"Oh, why?"

Johnny repeats the same reason:

"That plan did work for me, but how long have I just been back? I haven't witnessed many things with my own eyes, and even the character of that kid is not clear... Didn't your mother tell you not to just say yes to strangers' requests? ”

Rogge was silent for a moment, then looked into Johnny's eyes with deep eyes, stared into his eyes and said seriously:

"Believe me, Johnny, that kid is absolutely credible, and according to what I know so far, the plans and commissions of his hands have never failed, never!"

......

pS: No, I'm in a hurry to get homework.
