Chapter 440: The Grave
Night City, abandoned oil field in the North Industrial Zone, north of Highway 101.
The dark sky was covered with a lingering haze, and the chimneys of the steel factories drifted long black smoke into the sky, and the cycle was endless.
It's a forgotten and abandoned area, the air is forever filled with the smell of tar, the sight of ruined shanties and discarded iron plates, everything seems to be covered with a dark filter, and the muddy ground seems to be dripping with leaking kerosene.
Deserted and uninhabited, it should be a forgotten corner of the city, except for the roar of the machines digging the oil fields.
But now there is a car driving here, and the roar of the car brings the noise of the silent land, and the sky-blue streamlined body stands out in this dark world.
The car stopped on the side of the road, and the two men stepped out of the car, both stopped the moment they got out of the car, and looked at the desolate land without saying a word.
"It's empty," the man in the sunglasses muttered in a complicated tone, his eyes hidden behind the sunglasses dark and uncertain.
"So I died in a place like this?" He leaned back on the sports car and stared at the scrap iron plate not far away.
"If that guy didn't lie to me, this should be the place where you buried your bones, and with the situation at the time, that guy had no reason to lie to me." Lin Mo explained indifferently and briefly, turned his head to look at Johnny, and asked:
"Would you like to lean over and take a look?"
"No, it's not easy to find the exact location of such a large place, so don't bother with it, even if God gives face, it is estimated that it will be a few dry bones if you find it, I'm not a dog, and I'm not interested in bones." Johnny took a few random puffs of his cigarette.
"You don't look surprised, aren't you angry that they buried you in a place like this?" Lin Mo asked with some surprise.
Johnny tossed the cigarette butt to the ground and trampled it out, as if even a cigarette could not relieve his depressed mood.
He put his hands on his chest, exhaled deeply, and said in a flat tone:
"There's nothing to be angry about, that's what the rebels will do, doomed."
Even with his uninhibited temperament, when he came to the burial place of the corpse of his "previous life" at this time, he couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy from the bottom of his heart, and he didn't have much of a mood to scold people.
But on the other hand, his mood at this time was also very strange, not only the melancholy of seeing things and feelings, but also the emptiness of seeing the fate of his previous life, and a trace of inexplicable relief.
"I thought you would be angry when you saw this scene, since you expected it, why did you let me bring you over, I came here so late to smell kerosene, but unfortunately I didn't have fun watching it." Lin Mo sighed with some regret.
After the afterlife bar, in the follow-up conversation, Johnny also carefully inquired about the process before and after he took out Adam's hammer.
In this regard, Lin Mo naturally had nothing to hide, so he told Johnny the whole incident in detail.
After killing Adam Hammer, he didn't forget to scrape this guy's "legacy", after all, he still remembered that in the game's plot - Adam Hammer left a small ship in the harbor of Night City as his small base, and the ship was named the Ebnik.
And on the ship, there is an assistant who helps Adam with hammers and handles some chores on a daily basis - Grayson.
The brother knew a lot about Adam's Hammer, and how Adam Hammer disposed of Johnny's Silverhand's body, and even the approximate burial place.
Since they all killed Adam's hammer, there is no reason for Lin Mo to let go of the "loot" on this ship.
So one night, he led Mann and the others to take all the guards on the ship and scrape the ship's resources.
"That's how you want to see my jokes?" Johnny turned his head to look at Lin Mo.
"If I want to be honest, then the answer is YES, an arrogant person like you, once you eat deflated, there will always be someone who likes to watch and have fun." Lin Mo explained solemnly: "I am one of them. ”
"Then you can watch it now." Johnny Silver's tone was fluttering, as if it could be scattered in the wind:
"Johnny Silverhand, a rock kid, only did one big thing in his life, but in the end he didn't catch anything, and the company's executives didn't die, but killed a lot of innocent people, and it became a joke after death."
"It seems that you have a deep understanding of your position." Lin Mo lightly made up for it.
However, there was no response from any voice beside him, it seemed that just like what Johnny had just said, no matter how much Lin Mo looked at his jokes, he would not say anything more.
Seeing this situation, Lin Mo didn't have the idea of continuing to tease him, and changed the topic instead: "What are you going to do next, or do you want to help you erect a monument here?" ”
Johnny stared straight into the distance, as if hesitating, before he could make a decision: "There's no need for that." ”
"Oh?" Lin Mo was a little surprised.
He vaguely remembered that when he was in the game, Johnny Silverhand wanted to leave something here.
Could it be that he now has a real body, which has caused his mind to change as well?
Johnny sighed and said in a leisurely tone:
"Just let Lao Yinshou stay here without any worries, he didn't make any achievements in his lifetime, what monument will he erect after his death, so that others can see jokes?"
"Wouldn't it be a waste of time for you to come here for nothing and do nothing?" Lin Mo sighed: "I knew that I might as well stay in the bar and sleep until dawn." ”
"I just came here to say goodbye to my past self, and I don't know the way, shouldn't you take me here as a tour guide?" Johnny said lightly:
"I didn't know what happened to me before I died, but now that I'm reborn, I must come and see it."
"And when are you going to leave?" Lin Mo asked.
"Wait until I smoke another cigarette, and then leave." Johnny slowly pulls a cigarette out of his pocket.
Lin Mo couldn't help but yawn, and looked at the skyline of the city in the distance with a little tiredness, it was still so brilliant, in stark contrast to this dilapidated oil field.
In the dim sky at the far end, a faint white light appeared at this time, and the original dark sky gradually turned gray.
Dawn is approaching.
Lin Mo yawned again, turned his head to look at Johnny who was smoking, seemed to think of something again, and was silent for a while and suddenly asked:
"By the way, I want to ask you if you are interested in watching a decompression play, although I can't let you participate in the play in person, but I think it should relieve your inner depression."
"What play?" Johnny asked calmly, holding a cigarette aside, and said with a smile: "You beat Adam's hammer martial arts film?" ”
"A drama that may be very decompressing for you, and in the process you will die a person, a person who you want to get rid of quickly." Lin Mo is still selling Guanzi:
"This play can start tonight, and the venue is the Cambi Building, you should know where it is."
