"Panam, there is a fact you need to know."

"Don't tell me what life tips are."

"No. But it could be." I asked her, "What would you do if someone wanted to kill you?"

"Give him a shot?"

"What would you do if you were seriously ill and couldn't be cured?"

"I don't know. Should I give myself a shot?"

Johnny and I were both amused. Unexpectedly, Panam actually understood black humor.

"Bullets don't solve all problems."

"What can I do?" Panan covered her head and muttered in a low voice, looking very uncomfortable.

"Maybe it's the truth...?" I thought about it for a while, and then said it again, "Maybe it's the truth. No, it's the truth."

"Sounds like a slogan from some religion."

"For vulgar people, what can't be religion?" I shrugged at her helplessly, "Capitalism leaves people no time to develop themselves and makes people exhausted. They just want to guard their own land.

Goofing around and becoming electronic farmers in the new era, and such lazy social consciousness allows capitalism to show off its power. The more this happens, the more truth is needed

. They say that cyberpunk is dead. In fact, this thing has always been there. What is dead is not cyberpunk, but punk. The rebellious punk spirit has been completely eaten up by the market and turned into colorful cultural consumer goods, wearing vests and belts.

Prosthetics, do you think this is cyberpunk? Let me tell you, if we carve out a way to survive in this miserable world, that’s what we call punk.”

"You always have a lot of sense. I don't have any objections. I just listen to you."

"First of all, this world is false. We may be living in a game simulated by a program."

Panan's face was expressionless.

"It's hard to accept, isn't it?"

"What's the point of talking about this? V, let's be practical. I don't want to listen to you here, like a philosopher writing prose. I want you to tell me what I can do to help you."

"Good girl, I miss you, but this is what I want you to help with. Remember, we live in a false world. As long as you realize this, this lie will no longer be possible."

If I hurt you, you will be like me..."

"Why do you think we are living in a game? What are we born to do?" Panan tried to unplug my data cable, but I stopped her. I grabbed her wrist, and I didn't realize it until later.

She was burning hot and her nervous system was overloaded.

"Don't move." I rubbed some elixir on her neck, which made her feel much more relieved.

"No, I think you're crazy, V."

"You just think I'm crazy, but what I'm going to do next may make you understand."

I drove the Demon Lizard toward the downtown area of ​​Night City. After we left the tribe for some distance, we suddenly received a signal from Mitch asking for help, and the Sword Club came knocking on the door.

Unsurprisingly, I said to Panan, "Ha, it's classic. To get a powerful weapon, you must run out and test it a few times."

Panan was worried about the tribe and hurriedly asked me to drive the demon lizard back.

"What are you worried about? The brothers from Wuyouxiang are all there. Let alone a random swordsmanship, even if military technology wants to fight a low-intensity battle with us, it won't be a problem. You can watch the rest."

The demon lizard moved forward on the open wilderness grassland. The high-power jet engine supported the big iron lump floating in the air near the surface. Some simple undulating road sections could not stop the demon lizard's progress at all.

But it suddenly stopped moving.

Stop in an open area.

The engine is still working normally, and the CNC system is also working normally.

The lizard hit a wall - no color, no mass, no form. A wall, a wall of air.

"Do you believe it now?"

As a co-pilot, Panan fully understood the current situation. She pursed her lips and asked, "Can it be avoided?"

"Try it." I didn't have any hope.

The plot defines a range of activities for the demon lizard, and there is an air wall at the edge.

Panam refused to give up again and again, so I gave her the driving authority and watched her repeatedly try to break out.

Then she succeeded.

She climbed up the abandoned building and bypassed the judgment.

I was dumbfounded.

Panan laughed loudly, as happy as every time she made a big deal, "What's next? What should we do?"

"You are really a natural player, Panang." I looked through my task list, which was basically in the city. Many of them were backlogged because I had not done them. It was good to test my skills. Except for some bounty tasks.

Outside is a small branch line.

"I have a black boxing match here, let's drive the Magic Lizard to the boxing match!" I happily took over the driving right, "Night City, your black boxing emperor is here!"

…

I always keep my word. So I actually drove the Magic Lizard to a boxing match.

Panan felt that this was somewhat exaggerated.

"Don't worry, the plot is very rigid. Since the demon lizard is 'impossible' to be driven out by us, the people around you won't find it strange at all, and don't have to worry about causing riots. I've experienced this kind of thing several times, but I can't help it.

Needless to say, this time is the most exciting!"

"I just feel so unreal." Panan looked very tired, as if she was struck down by the truth.

"Your thinking is not broad enough. The truth is always painful. Just enjoy it and that's it."

Johnny suddenly said, "I remember that when someone first learned about this, he was on the verge of death. He drank all day long to survive. How come he has become a psychological counselor now?"

A few words won't kill you, Johnny.

I drove the Magic Lizard around the city and participated in two black boxing matches - they are called black boxing matches. As an external auto repair expert of Adecado, I drove an armed transport truck to participate.

Competition is also very reasonable, right?

The audience all cried, "Don't kill me!" "Help!" "My dad will give you money, don't fire!"

Because the plot was activated, the contestants were eager to try, "Small, let's go...ah——!! Stop fighting! Stop fighting! Surrender!"

After a day trip to Night City, I was still reluctant to leave. I left this little beauty behind. After the plot in Panan is over, I may never have the chance to drive it again. "I really want to use the Demon Lizard to rush to Arasaka.

tower."

"Who isn't?" Johnny smiled contentedly.

"This world is absurd, Panam!" I opened the hatch cover and faced the cold night wind of the Badlands. I could still see some stars in the corner far away from the light pollution of the city. It was very clear tonight, with only some sparse clouds.

Stacked in the southwest sky, "But life is inherently absurd. You must regard yourself as a player, not an NPC that follows the crowd."

"What you said is unrealistic."

"Then make it practical."

I uploaded an encapsulated data stream to Panan's neural network.

"What's this?"

"I'm not very sure, but I heard someone say that this thing is a voucher, an admission ticket." After Panan finished downloading the data, I took the initiative to disconnect the data cable, but she was still awake, and from

I have never been so awake.
