2077: V really knows how awesome he is

Overjoyed, Ultraman burst into tears and embraced Johnny tightly once again. The onlookers also smiled broadly, clapping and cheering.

Santiago was so excited he cried: "This is fucking better than any romance movie!"

Roger was utterly astonished: "Johnny actually agreed to the marriage? Is he possessed?"

In some ways, she was right.

V said to Roger, "The company is not something you can fight against. What you need to do now is not to fight a losing battle, but to contact all like-minded partners and quietly accumulate strength. You can keep an eye on Arasaka Yoriyuki. Although he is Arasaka Saburo's son and is currently in university, he will eventually become your most reliable ally, and then..."

Rogge was completely confused: "And then?"

"Then wait until 2077, and go find someone named V."

"2077?! 64 years from now?! You can also tell fortunes and predict the future?"

Both Ultraman and Santiago were very surprised, but V did not answer.

Goodbye, Roger. Santiago, it was a pleasure to meet you.

"Wait a minute, who are you?" Roger asked hurriedly, while V had already turned and walked into the crowd with elderly Johnny and Vera.

At the same time, Johnny on the rooftop regained his senses. He had been momentarily dazed and knew nothing. When he came to, he was tightly embracing Ultraman, while the crowd below applauded and cheered. Someone even shouted, "Silver Hand, when are you getting married? Let everyone know!"

Marriage? What kind of marriage?

Johnny looked at Ultraman in his arms, who had a happy expression on his face, and was confused. Did I agree to Ultraman in a daze?

He wanted to push the woman away, but in the end he couldn't bring himself to do it.

Compared to vague and unrealistic ideals and wishes, my girlfriend is so real and so warm.

It seemed to fill his heart completely.

Forget it.

That's...not bad either.

Johnny hugged Ultraman tightly. Since he had already agreed, he might as well get married. Johnny Silverhand never goes back on his word!

Thinking this, Johnny hugged her even tighter.

Otto tilted his head slightly in Johnny's arms and looked down.

Johnny looked over and saw "Saburo Arasaka" leaving.

“He looks so familiar,” Ott said.

“Yes, I feel the same way.” Johnny thought about it carefully and then had an answer: “He looks like the dog I had when I was eight years old!”

puff.

Ultraman laughed, and Johnny laughed too.

Outside the crowd, melodious music was playing.

"The past is gone and will never return; the red fallen leaves are buried in the dust."

"The beginning and the end are always the same, you drift beyond the white clouds in the sky."

“Turn it off!” Old Johnny said with a dejected look on his face.

Vera turned off the speaker: "Sorry, I just wanted to use some suitable background music to enhance the current atmosphere."

The room quieted down, but then the cheerful music started playing again.

"The sea of ​​suffering stirs up love and hate; in this world, it is hard to escape fate."

"The blind date turned out to be unapproachable; perhaps I should believe it's fate..."

“I said, turn it off!” Johnny shouted again.

Vera raised her hand and said, "I already turned it off; it was just making the noise by itself."

Old Johnny paused, then turned to look at V.

V smiled and took out a pack of cigarettes, offering it to the elderly Johnny: "Want one?"

Old Johnny glared at V with an unfriendly expression, but in the end, he still took a cigarette out of the pack.

Vera grinned and took out a lighter to light it for him.

Old Johnny took a deep drag, then exclaimed, "Huh? What's this cigarette?"

"Bought from a street vendor, genuine 2013 production. What, doesn't it smoke well?"

“No.” Old Johnny took another drag and said with deep emotion, “This is the most satisfying puff of smoke I’ve ever had in my life, even better than fucking ejaculating.”

Vera was taken aback: "That's outrageous! No doubt about it, I have to buy one too."

“Then I will too…” V stopped halfway through his sentence: “No, I don’t smoke.”

"Damn it, can't you make an exception for me at a time like this?" Old Johnny complained.

"Of course not. Ultraman said you're nothing, not worth me making an exception for you."

"You fucking..."

"Stop talking nonsense." Vera interrupted the two: "This cigarette is really good. Do you think it would be profitable for me to buy it in 2013 and then resell it in 2167?"

"I can't say for sure, but I'll definitely buy it," Johnny, the chain smoker, gave his answer.

Vera looked at V again.

V shrugged: "Go ahead and do it, just remember to pay the electricity bill for time travel."

"Alright, I'll get started as soon as we get back!" Vera roared energetically, accidentally bumping into a few gang members walking towards her.

"Are you blind? How dare you bump into me! You're not leaving here today without paying for your medical expenses!"

The gang members turned around, only to find that the three men had vanished.

"A ghost!" The gang members ran away screaming and crying.

The three Vs have returned to the year 2167.

Astraea began compiling statistics and recording experiences. After undergoing relevant tests and sampling, Johnny said goodbye and prepared to leave.

“Kerry’s in the hospital, I’m going to go laugh at him… and see him.”

V asked curiously, "Is Kerry sick?"

"It's an illness, I guess. He said his anus was inflamed and he might need a minor surgery."

V was speechless: "We usually call that place the anus."

"Haha, Kerry is different, you know. I'm leaving now, I'll give my regards to Kerry."

Johnny waved and walked away with a flourish.

Vera watched his retreating figure and asked V, "What do you think his mental state is right now?"

V thought for a moment and replied, "I guess it's a sense of relief."

"Relieved?"

"It means that although there are still regrets, I am now willing to accept them."

Is this good or bad?

"Then only he himself knows."

Vera's intelligence is 3. She can't figure it out, so she simply stops thinking about it.

She then asked another question: "What were you playing before?"

“Nanobugs, otherwise how could such a big gust of wind have blown through?” V explained, “It was also thanks to the nanobugs that old Johnny was able to possess idiot Johnny. After all, there are no nanonetworks in the world of 2013, so I could only build one temporarily.”

"You're pretty awesome, but it sounds kind of disgusting." Vera rubbed her arms. "I feel like you're some kind of Zerg mother, the kind that keeps laying eggs even after your head is cut off."

V was taken aback at first, then flew into a rage: "Damn it, who are you calling a cockroach?!"

Vera ran off quickly, and V didn't bother to chase after her, only reminding her from behind, "Take a day off tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow we're going to 2076 to help David save himself. Don't be late!"

"Don't worry, I will never be late!"

Despite what Vera said, she was still late, and three whole days late.

V led Vera out of the "Forced Computing Power Extraction Center," which is like a detention center in the future world. Everyone who violates laws and regulations will be locked up here, and the only punishment they will receive is "forced extraction of computing power."

"What do you mean 'just'? I feel like my head is about to explode!" Vera complained angrily. "I'm lying in bed doing nothing, but my body is so tired. Do you guys understand how that feels?"

V scoffed, "Serves you right for breaking the law!"

"I didn't even know nicotine was a prohibited substance. I've been dealing in cigarettes since 2013, and the NCPD sent over 200 armed robots to raid my house!"

V coughed and said, "You should be grateful. The NCPD sent more than 200 armed robots because they took your combat capabilities into consideration. In fact, they also applied for 20 military mechs, but I didn't approve them."

"Twenty military mechs?!" Vera exclaimed in shock. Having participated in the testing of the new mechs, she knew best how powerful these weapons were. Back when they fought the Martian humans, Selene's Second Fleet only had 32 military mechs. "Is selling nicotine products such a serious crime? Did I break a cardinal rule?"

"Nicotine is addictive and falls under the category of psychoactive harm. Most importantly, it reduces the activity of reproductive cells, which is a serious crime that interferes with fertility."

"Ah, I don't know either." Vera scratched her head, then asked curiously, "You knew all along?"

"Of course I know, I signed this law, how could I not know?"

Vera was furious: "You know that, yet you still made me sell cigarettes! You're just ripping me off again!"

V was immediately heartbroken. The child had been fooled so many times that he could finally wake up on his own. It was getting less and less amusing.

Just then, David arrived.

David, a middle-aged man with a small mustache, looked every bit the part of a middle-aged man. He was wearing a Terrorist Mobile Unit uniform. He first saluted V, then looked at Vera and said, "Now that Corporal Vera has finished serving her sentence, shall we set off?"

Chapter 167 Save Mom First, Then Save Yourself

“Your look is really unique.” Vera looked David up and down and couldn’t help but complain: “It reminds me of the miserable days when we were chased all over the city by the terrorist squad and had to wipe them all out in the end.”

David: ...The Terrorist Mobile Unit should be the ones who suffer the most, right?

V was also quite curious and asked, "Why are you dressed like that?"

“Mr. Johnny told me that time travel comes at a price, especially when the same people meet.” David pointed to his face. “That’s why I wear the full-face helmet of the Terrorist Squad to disguise myself, isn’t that right?”

“That’s true, but there’s no need to worry about it too much.” V shrugged. “Your meeting with the past David will cause some time fluctuations, but it’s just a test anyway. The more diverse the sample, the better. Mistakes are also valuable experiences. You don’t need to hide your face.”

David thought for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile: "Forget it, let's leave it at that. To be honest, I don't know how to face another version of myself."

"you sure?"

"Yes, I'm absolutely sure."

“Okay, let’s go then.” V didn’t try to persuade him any further. David was a reliable person and she had always trusted him. If David said it was okay, then it must be okay.

"Astraea, initiate the time travel procedure."

"Yes, the program is starting. Please stand in the designated position, hold on tight, and sit down. Next stop: 2076."

The humanoid interactive interface with the giant treasure chest once again took out the golden scales. As the sound of gears turning rang out, a white light burst forth, engulfing V, Vera, and David.

The familiar dizziness returned, but it came and went quickly. When Vera opened her eyes again, she was standing in a narrow, cramped alley.

"Damn, why is it always a narrow alley?" Vera complained.

David looked around and confirmed, "We're really back. This is near a private clinic in Santo Domingo."

“Now that we have successfully traveled through time, then…” Vera looked at V.

V, as expected, had lost all his memories once again. He asked Vera warily, "Who are you? Why do you look just like me?"

"Wow, even the sentence is the same. If this were a novel, the author would be gloating over this novel way of padding the word count." Vera complained again, then said to V, "Don't be nervous, we look alike because we're twin sisters. I'm your older sister. Come on, call me 'older sister'."

V looked bewildered, seemingly trying to search for relevant memories, while David was extremely nervous, fearing that V would make a move at any moment.

"Vera, don't do anything rash."

"I'm just playing around while she's still naive. Don't worry, I have experience."

Vera had barely finished speaking with a smile when V threw her to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.

"You lied to me!" V said sternly.

Vera was thrown around, feeling dizzy and furious. Just as she was about to retaliate, V's eyes suddenly lit up with blue light: "Synchronized with solar particle activity levels. Confirmed successful time reversal against deep space images. Memory backup program initiated. Memory recovery in progress... 1%... 2%... 3%..."

"Damn, even this sentence is the same? No, your memory recovered so quickly? No, that's not right either. If you've recovered your memory now, then all the beatings I took were for nothing!" Vera jumped up and down in anger: "V, you even tricked me when you lost your memory, did you make it a muscle memory?"

David suppressed a laugh, coughed, and asked, "So, V-sister, you've regained your memories?"
