He is the person involved, and he wants to see Ott, so the decision is naturally made by him.

"I still have to meet her."

Johnny thought for a while, but he was still firm in his initial thought, "There are some things that need to be clarified in person."

"Speak clearly in person, yes, in person."

Rocky sighed.

He didn't want to repeat those words that Johnny poured cold water on.

AI is AI, Ultra is Ultra, they are not the same thing.

There is no reason, only interests.

To some extent, AI's judgment and decision on everything is more ruthless than capital and will never show any mercy.

"I want to ask, what exactly do you want to tell Ott?"

Rocky asked.

"What do you want to say? No, what do you want to ask?"

Johnny shook his head.

He has too many doubts to answer, and too many regrets to make up for.

He didn't have time to think about how his current situation was formed, but he really wanted to get out of this predicament.

Luo Qi couldn't help him, Herman couldn't help him, neither could Arasaka.

Maybe, Otto, who has developed a soul killer, will have an idea?

And, Ott Cunningham, despite all the fuss, she was his girlfriend, his lover.

Luo Qi thought about it, if it were him, it would be difficult to let go of it easily.

At the very least, meet once, and then completely give up.

Thinking about it this way, all the persistence that seemed almost stubborn became reasonable.

It's just that Johnny is not good at words, and he never needs others to think from his perspective.

"Well, since you're sure, then...?"

Luo Qi nodded and looked at Paul.

"No problem at all."

Paul said, "It's better to hit the day than to choose the day, so let's do it now."

Therefore, a huge decision was made in such a short period of time, and the plan was then implemented.

Because Johnny is a data-conscious body, he can directly access the network without many steps.

Luo Qi wore a visualization hood and joined it from the perspective of a bystander, communicating with others in cyberspace through external input devices.

These devices will convert his voice and operation into corresponding information input.

Of course, other people do not have direct access to the network, which is the direct difference.

So even if it is attacked by AI, it will only blow up the equipment instead of the brain.

The risk is almost entirely on Johnny.

After simple debugging, Luo Qi and Johnny are ready, and Paul will be on the side of the black wall to monitor the overall situation for them.

Of course, at the same time, it is also guarding against the opportunistic intrusion of wandering AI.

To this end, he invoked half of the spare performance of the network monitoring, and specially strengthened the supporting protection measures to ensure that there would be no suspicious data omission, causing incalculable consequences.

Copy Johnny's memory fragments, and then send the data out of the black wall.

In Luo Qi's field of vision, there was only darkness.

Then there's a visual communication channel where Rocky, Johnny, and Paul are.

There are no fancy visual effects, because in cyberspace, data is inherently invisible, let alone three-dimensional images.

Before Luo Qi got used to this kind of quiet and scary atmosphere, the black wall ushered in its old buddy.

"It's Otto, she has appeared."

Paul said.

"She responded to that piece of data, so she must have realized your existence."

This is what Johnny said.

He doesn't know the relationship between Johnny and Ott, but now it seems that it is definitely not simple.

After so many years, a characteristic fragment of him can still attract Otto, which can explain everything.

"Go, travel through the past."

Paul opened the passage for them, sent Luo Qi and Johnny out, and then sat in the rear alone.

This is also the first time he has had such close contact with a wandering AI.

For hackers, this is not a question of whether the opportunity is closed or not, but a question of whether they can go back alive after seeing it.

Fortunately, with powerful equipment backing him up, everything is easy to talk about.

"Johnny."

The moment he saw Johnny appear, Otto called out that name.

Although it was just a simple cry, Luo Qi felt the terror spread all over his body——

From God's perspective.

The letter combination named "johnny" instantly filled the surrounding area of ​​the entire cyberspace, blocking all data.

A line of code, a sentence of function, all with Johnny's name attached.

Even in Luo Qi's ears, there are countless Johnnies in various languages, which sound like the whispers of indescribable things.

A strange fear, and the power of ghosts and animals made Luo Qi's heartbeat slow down a little.

But soon, they lost their bearings.

The connection with Paul is lost.

Luo Qi was fine, he took off his helmet and looked confused.

Johnny lay down directly, as if dead.

But with the helmet on, he could still see Otto.

Yes, see.

The visual interface allowed them to see Ott's blurred face, and an abstract data world where they couldn't see the intersection of reality and virtuality.

A large number of dialog boxes and panels constitute the cornerstone of the world, and countless astronomical letters and numbers fill the entire space.

Compared with the visual cyberspace, which is more abstract than substantial, there is a kind of strange and strange horror.

"That's cyber surveillance, we can't stay there."

Ott explained.

"So where are we now?"

Luo Qi opened the microphone and asked.

"The temporary shelter I created is very safe, and no one will disturb us."

Ott explained.

Really awesome.

Luo Qi said while listening to Paul's complaints.

In front of Paul, he directly built a house on the spot, and then locked the three of them up.

Although the original purpose was to prevent attacks from other roving AIs and unidentified prying eyes, this ability to build tall buildings on flat ground is terrifying even in cyberspace.

This is the shortcoming of AI and people.

There is an upper limit to the speed of human reaction, that is, the limit of human beings is limited.

So after Otto ceased to be a human being, he became even stronger in this respect.

"Internet monitoring, they found me, but outside the black wall, I am invincible, and they can't do anything to me."

Ott continued.

That's not network monitoring, but the terrorist mobile team, which just "borrowed" someone else's server.

"Yes, but, you saved us—in other words, you don't hold a grudge against me, do you?"

Johnny asked.

If it is Luo Qi, I am afraid that the gap between 2077 and 2023 is too long.

But he is Johnny.

Johnny, who has been in intermittent contact with Ott since 2013.

In fact, the two of them do not live apart——

Of course, this premise is based on the fact that Otto is still that Otto.

"I recognized your imprint code, but I don't know why you came here."

Ott's mood didn't seem to be as high as expected.

"Nothing, I just wanted to see you."

Johnny's answer was clumsy and silly, but his feelings were sincere.

It's a pity that Otto is now an AI, without a module for emotional thinking.

"I noticed that you look very special."

If Ott was a normal person living in cyberspace for half a century, he would have already exploded emotionally and become extremely complicated.

But Ott didn't.

She was as calm as ever, without any mood swings.

Luo Qi secretly took off his helmet and gestured towards Paul.

Only such a physical connection will not be noticed by Otto.

What he wanted was for Paul to record and analyze all the information from this meeting.

And he, Luo Qi, is the original Chaomeng camera that we met this time.

"It's not all Relic and Arasaka's fault."

Johnny gets emotional when he says this.

"I know, but what does it have to do with me?"

Ott asked back.

"You have the face to say it's okay?"

Hearing Otto's unreasonable answer, Johnny immediately became angry.

"You created Soul Killer, and then gave this super weapon to Arasaka. As a result, you and I were killed, as well as half of the hackers in Night City!"

Johnny's accusation is true and a bit nonsense.

But in his opinion, he was so wronged that he exploded.

Otto couldn't say that he had to be responsible for this, but he definitely couldn't get away with it.

"Your death is your own fault."

What Ott said next, let alone Johnny, even Luo Qi's heart skipped a beat when he heard it.

Cool.

The feeling of being heartbroken in an instant was so cruel that even Luo Qi could feel it.

Fortunately, Luo Qi has already vaccinated himself——
