Chapter 523: You Two
Sun?
This title doesn't sound domineering at all... Mann frowned, his legs shaking unhappily as he clasped his hands over his chest.
However, just when everyone was thinking about why Lin Mo said this term, his eyes lit up and he asked curiously:
"Eh, Lin Mo, the sun you are talking about, shouldn't you want a few of us to carry portable nuclear bombs and run to the company building to explode like Johnny's silver hand in the past?"
As soon as this remark came out, it quickly attracted the attention of everyone present, and many of them showed a slightly thoughtful expression on their faces, inexplicably feeling that Mann's explanation was both a bit reasonable and a bit like nonsense.
Only Johnny, the party who was used as a "metaphor", twitched the corners of his mouth, and he behaved safely and steadily from beginning to end, and he hadn't started to speak yet, and now he was lying down for no reason.
He glanced at Mann calmly, then coughed a few times, and said lightly: "When you say bad things about others in the future, please pay attention to the feelings of other people." ”
Mann raised an eyebrow, suddenly realizing that he seemed to have ignored someone's existence, and quickly apologized with a sneer:
"Eh, I forgot we have a fan of Johnny's Silver Hand here... I'm sorry, man, when I worked with you in Dogtown before, I didn't even notice that you were a fan of Silverhand, and even your arm was equipped with the same prosthetic hand as Silverhand..."
Looking at Mann's actions, Lin Mo was stunned to find that he had overlooked a key issue.
It's over, I seem to have forgotten to tell them about Johnny's "real identity...... He thought.
Since the things about Johnny are tricky to explain, after all, a legend living in the past has suddenly been "reborn" in the modern age, and anyone will want to seek an explanation.
And once explained, it will inevitably involve the content of the final plan, and Lin Mo doesn't want to reveal too much of the inside story to Mann and them early.
It's better to explain than to cover up, it's better to tell a story than to tell a story, and it's better to ignore it, so even now, Lin Mo hasn't had time to introduce Johnny's "life experience" to others
As for Johnny, with his character, he will not show off his past "deeds" and his "origins".
As a result, Mann and the others have only regarded Johnny Silverhand as a fanatical fan of the "Legend-Silverhand" until now.
"Ahem, I'll intersperse another thing here... In fact, this gentleman is the Johnny Silver Hand deity of the nuclear explosion of the Arasaka Tower more than fifty years ago......"
Looking at everyone's stunned expressions, Lin Mo didn't care whether they were mentally prepared or not, and briefly informed everyone of the process of "how Johnny Silver Hand was resurrected".
All:......
After a period of silence, Jack, who was sitting on the side, finally couldn't hold back the excitement and curiosity in his heart, and asked:
"So the night Saburo Arasaka was killed, it was Johnny Ginte's own good deeds?!"
Johnny leaned back in his chair with his hands on his chest and silently looked around at the rest of the room, looking at their slightly surprised expressions, his heart was complicated.
He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.
I am happy that after so many years, there will still be people who remember themselves and remember what he once did.
The sad thing is that he has done so much, and in the end only the marginal people can remember him, and these people just seem to think that the "nuclear bombing of the Desert Sakata" thing is cool...
Johnny sighed, then replied:
"It's me, but the old dog's funeral, this kid actually participated, but he didn't show up from beginning to end."
"I'll it, is life really a dramatization, dare to love the legendary person I've always longed for in the past, and now it's face-to-face with me?" Jack sighed with a smile.
Johnny tugged at his mouth and said funny:
"How... Then why don't I sign it for you now, maybe after a while, it won't be so easy for you to sign again. ”
Jack shook his head, restrained his smile, and said seriously:
"An easy-to-get signature versus a hard-to-get signature, and if I could, I'd prefer the latter one, and I want you to be the one who writes the latter signature."
"That's one of the reasons I called you all here." At this time, Lin Mo suddenly interjected and interrupted the conversation between the two.
He focused the conversation on himself again, looked around at the rest with a smile, and continued the conversation from the previous topic:
"Mann's meaning of the sun is not correct, and the 'sun' I am talking about is actually an identity, not a thing, and it is definitely not a process."
"It's like the 'legend' we used to talk about, it's also an identity, and Night City has always had an unwritten rule that the city's legends tend to lie in their graves... It's like a curse and a crown full of thorns. ”
"But if a 'legendary' person does something great and does not die, and finally becomes one of the symbols of the city, then he is the sun, like the sun hanging above the sky, and the only thing that can silence him is time, not death!"
Mann frowned slightly, his mind a little spinning around.
According to Lin Mo's explanation, isn't the sun a living legend, and what is the difference between the two?
Not to mention the distance, isn't there a legend of "reliving the second life" on the table now, he is not alive now, he can't be the sun?
Rog is also alive, so she can't be the sun?
Wrong...... Mann suddenly figured it out.
Perhaps what really matters is not to "be alive after doing great things", but to become a "symbol" of the city!
Mann's frown suddenly widened, and he couldn't help but feel glad for his clever head, and looked up to see if the others were still in a "pensive" state.
However, the rest didn't seem to think as long as he did.
Except for him, everyone looked at Lin Mo thoughtfully, with a hint of "I gradually understood everything" in their eyes.
It turns out that only I can't figure it out?
Mann's mood suddenly changed from spring flowers to autumn breeze.
"Night City, a chaotic city, needs this kind of sun." Lin Mo finally concluded:
"In addition to explaining the contents of the plan to you, the most important thing is to choose a candidate from among you to become the sun... You should know why I resurrected Johnny's Silver Hand. ”
"He's one of the suns?" Mann's expression was a little strange, and he subconsciously looked up and down at this rock kid who was dragged to the end.
No matter how you look at it, he can't see the advantage of Johnny Silver Hand being selected as the "Sun".
After all, the other party has also been in their squad, and he has also seen Johnny's skills in the days when he was dealing with Xinmei agents.
If I had to describe it, then Johnny Silver's fighting skills were evaluated in his mind: "Above the best, under the genius".
"What are you looking at me for?" Johnny glanced at Mann with an annoyance.
"I was just thinking, if you can be the sun, then wouldn't I be qualified too?" ”
"Unfortunately, Mann, you're not on the list." Lin Mo ruthlessly dismissed the old friend's thoughts.
In terms of the selection of the "Sun", he has no intention of leaving half a face.
Rather than having unrealistic illusions about his unchosen friends, he should have vetoed the other person's hopes from the start.
"I can understand your doubts, but in this matter, personal strength is not the decisive factor, so out of all of you, I have only selected three candidates."
"V, Johnny, David, these three candidates are you."
