Chapter 449: Johnny is restricted everywhere
The door to the apartment opened, and a sassy woman walked in from the outside.
The graceful figure that can't be concealed by a good face and loose clothes, the bright eyes look quite delicate, but the eyes that can be revealed from the inside give people a sharp sense of sharpness, and the aura from the inside out has a strong self-confidence.
This is Johnny's first impression of this mercenary, capable, calm, and confident, all kinds of characteristics prove the excellence of this woman, plus the other party is specially invited by Lin Mo, and he is a marginal person who can live the eyes of that little child, so he must have some uniqueness.
Although it was not long before he was reborn and returned to Night City, it still took a while to get used to the people and things around him, but after such two days of getting along, Lin Mo's reliability was already second only to Rogge in his heart!
Not to mention anything else, the fact that the other party dares to calculate Saburo Arasaka is enough to prove that the other party is not a simple junior.
As the saying goes, even if he is still a little unhappy about some aspects of this little ghost, Johnny is still willing to believe the mercenary he introduced.
Just when Johnny wanted to step forward to meet this mercenary, the woman stared directly at Lin Mo who was standing next to him, and was stunned for a while before exclaiming:
"Eh,, Lin Mo, why are you here!"
Lin Mo was stunned, and he didn't expect V's reaction to be so big.
"Is it weird for me to be here?" The corners of his mouth twitched, and he didn't understand what V was thinking.
"That's not true, I just didn't expect you to know Regina, and besides, the two of us haven't seen each other for a while, so I thought you were playing missing." V shrugged, and then seemed to think of something, his expression slightly embarrassed:
"But the debt of these days... Can you give me a few days of forbearance, I've been a little tight lately, and I don't have much money to pay you back for the time being. ”
Lin Mo's brows furrowed imperceptibly, and he didn't remember why V owed him a debt, but his super memory still allowed him to find the answer in an instant.
- When he appointed Jack as V's middleman, it seems that he did play a trick on this silly girl... She "accidentally" broke the quest item and ended up owing a large amount of money.
This incident was also done by accident on a whim, and the main purpose was also to give V a direction of "being angry and trying to be strong"... So much so that he didn't take this little thing to heart, if V hadn't suddenly mentioned it, he would have subconsciously ignored it.
It's no wonder that V sees him like a mouse sees a cat, and it seems that he didn't expect his creditor to appear here.
"It's just a small amount of money, and you don't have to pay interest, you can pay me back whenever you want." Lin Mo said with relief:
"I want to know how you've been doing more than debt?"
Why are you still asking about my life... V blinked, and the surprise of meeting the "creditor" in his heart gradually turned into an indescribable feeling.
To be honest, she was grateful and a little guilty about Lin Mo.
She was able to come to Night City to make a living, and she managed to establish a foothold here, and she also met many friends on the road, and built relationships with many intermediaries... These network resources and the improvement of living standards are inseparable from Lin Mo's help.
She is not an ungrateful person either, and after receiving so much help, she is naturally grateful to Lin Mo from the bottom of her heart.
It's a pity that her reward is that she "accidentally" destroyed the mission items during a mission, although the other party doesn't care, but it is impossible for her to say that she has no guilt.
So far, she doesn't know Lin Mo very well, she only knows that the other party has a lot of energy in Night City, can know all the middlemen in the city, and has several experienced elite marginal friends.
A mysterious, friendly, affectionate, gentle and overly mature boy... This is V's impression of Lin Mo.
Sometimes she also doubts the age gap between the two parties, obviously she is in her twenties, and the other party is still an underage boy, so it stands to reason that she is the sister.
But whenever the two met, she always bowed her head inexplicably, just like now, and the boy asked her about her recent situation like an old father.
"I'm doing well, thanks to your care, now the middlemen in the city are willing to send me work, and the pay is also very good, but I am busy every day, but compared to the days of wandering in the bad land in the past, I am living very comfortably." V smiled from the bottom of his heart.
"That'll do." Lin Mo nodded, pondered for a while, and then asked:
"The network access warehouse I gave you before, have you digested everything you learned from it now?"
"A must! Now the little minions on the street or the minions of the major gangs, those guys are considered unlucky when they run into me, I can easily restart their systems, or overload their prosthetics with electromagnetism..."V proudly patted the slightly exaggerated pectoralis major muscle on his body:
"The things stored in that network access warehouse are really awesome, I used to learn hacking knowledge in the family, and I never thought that there would be such a high-strength program software, and there are those high-tech programming technologies, it's just..."
"Alright, no more talk." Seeing that V was excited and about to talk endlessly, Lin Mo had to reach out and interrupt.
He also has some understanding of V's current combat effectiveness, after all, he has often inquired about V's situation from Jack before.
But now listening to what V himself said, it seems that she is quite satisfied with the improvement of her own strength.
Sure enough, even without Relic, her strength is still uniquely strong.
"You've gained something from it, and you've grown enough to become a marginal person on your own, I'm so proud of you, V, you didn't disappoint me." Lin Mo praised without hesitation.
Johnny, who was listening to the conversation between the two, glanced at Lin Mo in surprise, as if he had reacquainted the boy with the boy.
What the hell, this little ghost still has this side of touting others?
It's just that when you're talking to me, you always stab me with words from time to time, right?
A hint of embarrassment hung on the corner of V's mouth, and he stretched out his hand to stop Lin Mo like he did just now:
"Stop, stop, I'm blushing a little when you say it... Let's get back to the topic, let's talk about the current situation first, Regina called me over, saying that there was a job for me, this commission should not be issued by you, right? ”
She hadn't forgotten what she was doing here tonight.
"It's me." Lin Mo admitted, turned his head to look at Johnny who was standing against the wall, and then began to introduce:
"Oh, his name is Johnny Silverhand, a rock musician with a bit of musical cells, he used to be a soldier, and his combat effectiveness is passable, but compared to you, he is a scumbag, and now he is in some trouble, he needs to hire you as a bodyguard for a few days, and you don't have to give him face during the mission."
He turned to V:
"And her name is V, one of the best marginal people I know at the moment, with excellent frontal combat ability and unrivaled hacker combat experience, with her, Johnny you didn't have to worry about being robbed when you went to the toilet before, but after all, she is not as good-tempered as me, you better treat her better."
The corners of Johnny's mouth twitched: "Toilet... Why do you keep remembering these things? ”
He didn't bother to continue to pay attention to Lin Mo, but looked at his bodyguard in the next few days, nodded his thumb and said:
"Chick, you should have seen the news, so I don't need to say anything about the specific situation, right?"
"News?" V was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said:
"I was in a hurry when I came here just now, and the security guards of the Ncpd and Arasaka companies in the city didn't know what medicine they had taken wrong, and they blocked the old lady along the way, so how could they have time to watch the news."
"Who still doesn't watch the news these days? Don't know Johnny Silverhand yet? You're too outdated. Johnny gave V a startled look.
"What's wrong? You're still a big star? V looked at Johnny with some disbelief:
"Then I'll turn on the TV and see you on the screen, should I scream like a little fan girl?"
The corners of Johnny's mouth twitched, and he reached out to support his forehead and shook his head, but in the end he didn't say anything.
It's really grassy, why is this guy's way of scaring people so similar to that little ghost?
Looking at the interesting conversation between the two, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel a little funny.
This feeling is quite subtle, and the two people in front of them seem to be a pair of natural happy enemies, just like the relationship between Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, and it is destined that the two will inevitably be a good pair of friends and friends.
That's why he made V Johnny's bodyguard, and now the two can communicate with each other in reality, instead of talking to ghosts in real life, isn't it a fun thing?
He's already drastically changed the plot of the original game.
For example, the characters who appear in the prologue plot of the game, Johnny successfully attacks in the form of a prosthetic man, V does not have the sword of Damocles of the relic chip in his head, Jack becomes the godfather of a gang, and even the hacker t-bUG, who has the "power of one door", is now working under Jack.
It would be a pity if V and Johnny were never in contact with him since.
"Don't you want to know why it's so busy outside?" Lin Mo looked at V and slapped his chin towards Johnny:
"Well, that guy is the culprit."
"He's in trouble?" V's eyes widened in surprise, and he subconsciously lowered his voice, then approached Lin Mo and muttered in his ear:
"I said Lin Mo, you won't be joking, there are all lackeys and Ncpd of the Arasaka Company outside, such a big battle, I may not be able to hold it alone... It's fine to hide him if he's covered, but if he's stupid and runs outside, I can't stop so many security guards and police officers alone. ”
In normal times, she has done a lot of tasks like this to protect key personnel, but now this "important officer" who needs protection is in such a big trouble, and she has never seen this kind of situation.
In fact, as a good and professional independent mercenary, she has a choice whether or not to take the commission.
But now the client of the task is Lin Mo, she can't refuse at all, and she doesn't want to refuse... So I had to talk to Lin Mo about the situation of this "important person".
She silently looked at Johnny a few times, looked at the arrogant posture of this guy leaning against the wall with his hands on his chest, and couldn't help muttering:
"Besides, I think this guy is probably the kind of person who often makes stupid brains..."
"Who the are you slandering!" Before Lin Mo could reply, Johnny immediately became angry: "When Lao Tzu conspires loudly, right!" ”
"Can you hear me?" V looked surprised.
She deliberately lowered her voice and said bad things just now, how could she still hear it?
It's over, it's over, this won't be messed up, and the task has not started yet...
"He has more prosthetic bodies on him, so he is better at hearing." Lin Mo tapped his ear with his finger and explained.
Looking at V's expression of being finished, he had to add:
"But you're right, he's more anxious, and occasionally he does do do some things with a hole in his brain, otherwise how would he have killed Arasaka Saburo."
You're talking like that...
The corners of Johnny Yin's mouth twitched, and his heart said Isn't it the black pot that you let Lao Tzu carry, why did you sell Lao Tzu now in order to take care of this chick's face?
Are you coaxing a child?
Although he complained to Lin Mo several times in his heart, he still didn't dare to tell the truth.
After all, there are still two outsiders present, and it is impossible to tell the truth of the incident, so the "real murderer" who killed Saburo Arasaka must be him now.
It's so embarrassing... Johnny just felt that his good mood tonight was about to be lost to these two guys.
"He killed Saburo Arasaka!?" V's eyes widened and he looked at Johnny in disbelief as he shook his head and sighed, his heart full of shock.
No matter how rich her imagination is, she can't imagine that this guy who is a hanger will actually kill that legendary big man!
Hell, it seems that we will have to pay more attention to the information of the news radio station in the future, otherwise we won't even know what happened!
"You can ask him about the specific story in the future, or you can ask Regina, and now while I'm still here, you two can talk casually first." Lin Mo patted V's shoulder and comforted him a few words, then walked over to Johnny, smiled, and started a private call:
[Don't play with her temper, don't look at her now that I have appointed her bodyguard, but in fact, her status in my heart is much higher than yours... Remember that plan, she's also one of the main characters, and she's still a solo protagonist! 】
Johnny was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the meaning of Lin Mo's words.
The solo protagonist... If it is according to this little ghost, then wouldn't this chick have to complete her own script alone?
That is, she will take out the security forces of a company building by herself in the future?
Is this chick so fierce?
Johnny's mind began to spin rapidly, and he believed that Lin Mo was not a person who liked to lie.
Maybe Lin Mo may occasionally joke, but in this kind of business, he has no reason to lie.
... Grass fucking annoying little ghost, where is this to find me a bodyguard, dare to find a father for Lao Tzu!
Looking at the changing expression on Johnny's face, Lin Mo could somewhat guess that his current mood was very complicated.
However, Lin Mo didn't care too much, and just wanted the two of them to have a good chat.
But at this moment, the vision in front of him suddenly showed that a phone call had been called.
