Cyber psychosis is my girlfriend

"Then they put away the cameras and left, leaving you alone..." the third voice asked, with a very...professional tone, like a reporter interviewing someone.
"What else—those implants? We have to return them." A's tone was filled with the pain of being deceived, "All replaced with these first-generation garbage."
The first generation of cyber components, that is really an old antique that has been put into the museum, it is terribly garbage.
"We were played by them! They took everything from us and kicked us away, like..." B's voice gradually became sad and angry.
"It's okay, I understand..."
A third voice comforted.
Then all the sound information stopped abruptly, leaving only a series of electric sounds, and then returned to silence.
Was cut off.
Luo Qi and Suzi frowned slightly, trying to understand the meaning of this conversation, then exchanged eyes and nodded.
It was an interview indicting corporate fraud and hypocrisy on two crippled veterans who were badly wounded and missing arms and legs.
Companies always advertise how well they treat their veterans, which has become the industry trend in Night City.
Having said that, the most indispensable thing in the streets and alleys is these retired and disabled veterans who were thrown away for various reasons.
Those who are capable of fighting can still work as mercenaries to make a living, and those who don't can only kneel in the garbage and beg.
Luo Qi has encountered disabled veterans begging for food more than once. What they ask for is only a small single-digit sum, which is enough to support them for a few more days.
Seeing their humble appearance of thanking him sincerely and constantly saying that they are "good people", Luo Qi's heart is very heavy.
Good people.
He is not.
But in the eyes of these people, he is a good person.
Because they have been ruined by the company for a lifetime, there will be no worse results.
No one cares about their life or death.
Even Suzi at that time, a super soldier who was countless levels higher than ordinary soldiers, was still an item that could be discarded at any time in the eyes of the company.
"I hate companies."
Suzi pouted, with unhappiness written all over her face.
"fine."
Luo Qi moved his neck and wrists and made a "quack quack" sound.
"I hate it too."
Chapter 100 Talking skills MAX
"Look at your feet, I'll go ahead."
Suzi reached out to stop Luo Qi, and hacked into the anti-personnel mine hidden in the gap between the two boxes.
This is the fourth landmine she has dismantled.
This building doesn't have a lot of space, passing through the small main hall, there is a warehouse and office area where equipment and props are randomly piled up.
Steel curtains, empty tripods, scrapped fill lights, all piled up here.Even a layman can tell at a glance that this is the place where programs are usually recorded.
It's just that it has been neglected for a long time, so it is currently the home of dust.
I don't know where Max got these things-infrared anti-personnel anti-personnel mines, smart sentry machine gun turrets.
If the people who come are not Luo Qi and Suzi, unless they have professional explosion-proof experience, they will suffer a bit.Especially the gangsters with rough hands and feet, the few who walked in the front must be wiped out by the whole army.
"Honestly, I kind of like this guy's thinking."
Rocky said with a smile.
To deal with enemies whose numbers and combat power far exceed your own, explosive traps will always be your good partner.
"Well, then."
Suzi walked in front, stretched out her hand to pull on the wall, and threw something at Luo Qi behind her.
Luo Qi stretched out his hands to hold it, and took a closer look——
It is the mine that Max installed on the wall.
"Still heavy."
Luo Qi held it in his hand and weighed it, not at all angry at Suzi's dangerous behavior.
A hacked landmine is as safe and reliable as a grenade with a bolt inserted, and the bullet will not detonate even if it is hit.
"This charge..." Luo Qi stretched out his hand and gestured at his waist, "I guess it can blow someone in two, it's really ruthless."
But Max is not a professional agent or soldier after all. These meticulous arrangements in front of Suzi are a bit like a child's department, and they have not hindered the progress of the two at all.
Going up the stairs, the only door at the corner is the core office of the entire building.
Needless to say, Max was definitely in there.
Besides, Suzi's biological detectors have already responded.
"Open the door and check the water meter."
Luo Qi made an old-fashioned joke that was at least half a century out of date in 2077, and stretched out his hand to open the door.
"Stop, don't move!"
Sure enough, at the moment when he saw the situation inside, Luo Qi was stopped by a loud shout.
"Who are you!? Tell me! Or I'll shoot you!"
That tone is called a heroic one.
It's just that when Luo Qi saw the man's movements, the corners of Luo Qi's mouth still twitched uncontrollably.
It's no surprise that the bridge of confrontation with guns has long been seen, but this is the first time Luo Qi sees the gun pointed at himself instead of the enemy.
For some reason, this reminded him of a picture——
In a crisis, she pointed the scissors at the boudoir lady at her neck, and said coquettishly—"If you dare to XXX, I'll show you to death".
"Don't get excited, Regina asked me to come." Luo Qi smiled helplessly, and explained to the man wearing sunglasses, "You are Max, right? Someone wants your head, we are here to save you of."
Hearing the word "Regina", Max, who was wearing a light blue shirt and black trousers, froze for a moment. The atmosphere of death-threatening suddenly dissipated, and a complicated expression appeared on his face.
"Huh... Regina? Tch..."
It can be seen that at that moment just now, Max's spirit was also extremely tense, but now he suddenly relaxed and felt a little weak.
He put away the gun in his hand, sat down on the chair in front of the desk, propped his elbows on his knees, and said mercilessly, "Tell her, let her die."
"Hey man, calm down."
Luo Qi felt a little helpless about Max's temper, and threw the landmine in his hand on his table, "We are not enemies, we have something to say."
"Why did you threaten me with suicide?"
Looking at the preoccupied Max, Luo Qi asked.
"I thought you were from the company and sent to kill me." Max replied without thinking, but turned his head to the side.
"Then you won't survive anyway." Luo Qi spread his hands.
"That's up to me!" Max suddenly raised his voice, indignantly, "Those bastards want to control everything, but don't want to control me, I have the final say when they die! I will do it myself!"
Luo Qi nodded when he heard the words: "Well~ I have kindness!"
On this point, he agrees with Max's words.
This kind of "kindness" is stupid or not, not to mention for the time being, in Night City, there are not many kind people.
"Do you really have bullets in your gun? Are you afraid of going off?"
Luo Qi noticed the slight trembling of his fingers, apparently he hadn't recovered from the impending death and the end of his life just now.
"boom!"
Without thinking, Max took out his pistol and fired a shot at the ceiling.
A smile appeared on Luo Qi's face.
This man is interesting.
Courage is being afraid, but going on.
That's exactly what happened to Max.
Now that it was determined that Luo Qi and Suzi were not here to kill him, Max breathed a sigh of relief and regained his sanity.
"You tell Regina. Unlike her, I won't break down."
collapse?
Rocky's eyebrows twitched.
It seems that something happened to Regina that made her switch careers and become a middleman.
But Luo Qi didn't have the habit of inquiring about other people's past, so he didn't ask.
He didn't forget that the purpose of this trip was to bring this stubborn guy back for Regina.
So he tried to open the conversation.
"We heard your interview when we came over."
"As soon as you showed up, the news began to broadcast." Max said, "But it didn't end, it was different from what I expected...but at least people heard the truth."
He used the old radio and television building to broadcast a self-made interview program to reveal the truth. After just a start, he was cut off by the headquarters that controlled the broadcasting channel and control system.
Although it is a pity, as he said, at least part of the truth was broadcast.
"There are people out there who want to buy your head, but I guess you already know that," Luo Qi said.
"Hmm." Max didn't have the slightest sense of being hunted down.
"Let's put it this way, you love her to death, but Regina wants to help you." Luo Qi felt like he was talking to a brick.
"Help me? She is the one who needs help." Max raised his head and thought, looking at Luo Qi and Suzi, "She is the best reporter I know! She is also my mentor! What about now? Hmph... Conscience is beaten by a dog have eaten."
He looked away, as if recalling the past.
Then he turned his head and looked at Luo Qi firmly.
"But no one wants to bribe me! Don't think about it!"
"Okay, okay, don't buy, don't buy." Luo Qi felt like he was coaxing a kindergarten kid, Max was very stubborn, "But... Regina is your tutor?"
Regina claims to be Max's "good friend", but from the information gathered, they may be former colleagues.
And now Max even said that Regina is his mentor.
I really don't know that these two seem to have a bad relationship, but in fact they still miss each other's magnificent stories in the past.
"Not only is my mentor, she used to be the best war reporter in Night City." Max said, with complex emotions in his tone.
"Then she changed her career to be a middleman?" Luo Qi then guessed.
"Yes, as I said, the conscience was eaten by dogs."
Max brooded about it.
"To be honest, Regina is the most conscientious middleman I have ever met." Suzi said at this time, "There is not only one way to resist the company. If you don't contact her, how will you know that she has changed?"
Max was so stubborn that even Motoko corrected him.
"Are you from military technology?" Max glanced at her, recognized the unique implant, and shook his head, "You don't understand what a true conscience is."
"She used to be, but now she's anti-corporate."
Luo Qi said, "Resisting the company doesn't necessarily have to go all the way to the dark. Don't you understand the truth of mind regardless of deeds?"
Rebellion is not a rigid "do not succeed or give me death" because that will only lead to more unnecessary sacrifices.
But this guy named Max obviously fell into a certain misunderstanding, but it may also have something to do with him being hunted down by the company now.
Just like rebelling against a company, evaluating a person cannot be black and white. Luo Qi's emotions are well controlled.
"Food needs to be eaten at a bite, and the road needs to be walked step by step. If you sacrifice because of this kind of thing, it will only make the resistance force lose another strength."
