The door of this apartment opened, and a charming woman walked in from the outside.
Her beautiful face and loose clothes cannot hide her graceful figure, and her bright eyes look quite charming, but the eyes revealed from inside give people a sharp sense of sharpness, and an aura from the inside out.
There is also a strong sense of self-confidence.
This is Johnny's first impression of this mercenary. Capable, calm, and confident, all these characteristics prove the excellence of this woman. In addition, the other party was specially invited by Lin Mo, and she can outshine that little brat.
If you are a marginalized person, you must have something unique.
Although he was reborn and returned to Night City not long ago, and it still takes some time to adapt to the people and things around him, after these two days of getting along, Lin Mo's reliability ranked second only to Rogge in his heart!
Not to mention anything else, just the fact that the other party dared to scheme against Saburo Arasaka was enough to prove that the other party was definitely not a simple junior.
As the saying goes, sincerity is exchanged for sincerity. Even though he is still a little unhappy with some aspects of this kid, Johnny is still willing to believe in this mercenary introduced by him.
Just when Johnny was about to step forward to get to know the mercenary, the woman stared straight at Lin Mo standing next to him, and was stunned for a while before exclaiming:
"Hey, damn it, Lin Mo, why are you here too!"
Lin Mo was startled and didn't expect V's reaction to be so big.
"Is it weird that I'm here?" He twitched the corner of his mouth, not understanding what V was thinking at all.
"That's not true. I just didn't expect you to know Regina. Besides, we haven't seen each other for a while. I thought you were disappearing." V shrugged, and then seemed to think of it again.
What, the expression is a little embarrassed:
"But the debts during this period...can you give me a few days of grace? I'm a little tight on money recently, and I don't have much money to repay you for the time being."
Lin Mo's brows wrinkled imperceptibly, and he suddenly couldn't remember why V owed him a debt, but his super memory still allowed him to find the answer in an instant.
——When he appointed Jack to act as V's intermediary, it seemed that he really set a trap for this silly girl... causing her to "accidentally" break the mission items and eventually owe a large sum of money.
This incident was something he did accidentally on a whim. The main purpose was to give V a direction to "work hard"...so much so that he didn't take this little thing to heart. If V hadn't suddenly mentioned it, he would have done it.
They all subconsciously ignored it.
No wonder V was like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw him. It seemed that he didn't expect that his creditor would appear here.
"It's just a small amount of money, and you don't have to pay back interest. You can pay it back to me anytime." Lin Mo said with relief:
"Rather than the debt, I want to know how you are doing lately?"
Why are you still asking about my life... V blinked, and the surprise in his heart about meeting a "creditor" gradually turned into an inexplicable feeling.
To be honest, she felt grateful and a little guilty towards Lin Mo.
She was able to come to Night City to make a living, and successfully established a foothold here. She also made many friends on the road, and established relationships with many middlemen... These network resources are inseparable from the improvement of her living standard.
Thanks to Lin Mo for help.
She is not an ungrateful person. After receiving so much help, she is naturally grateful to Lin Mo from the bottom of her heart.
It's a pity that her reward was that she "accidentally" destroyed the mission items during a mission. Although the other party didn't care, it was impossible for her to say that she didn't feel guilty.
So far, she didn't know Lin Mo very well. She only knew that he had a lot of energy in Night City, that he could know all the famous middlemen in the city, and that he also had several experienced elite fringe friends.
A mysterious, friendly, kind, gentle and over-mature boy... This is V's impression of Lin Mo.
Sometimes she would also doubt the age gap between the two parties. Although she was already in her twenties, the other party was still an underage boy. Logically speaking, she was the older sister.
But whenever the two met, she always lowered her head inexplicably. Just like now, the boy asked her about her recent situation like an old father.
"I'm living a pretty good life. Thanks to your care, the middlemen in the city are now willing to give me jobs, and the pay is very generous. I'm just very busy every day, but compared to the days when I was wandering in the bad land, I
I feel very comfortable now." V smiled from the bottom of his heart.
"That's okay." Lin Mo nodded, thought for a while, and then asked:
"Have you digested all the things you learned from the network access warehouse I gave you before?"
"It's necessary! Nowadays, the gangsters on the street or the minions of major gangs, those guys will be unlucky if they encounter me. I can easily restart their systems, or use electromagnetic overload of their prosthetic bodies...
." V proudly patted his slightly exaggerated pecs:
"The things stored in that network access warehouse are really awesome. I used to learn hacking knowledge in my family, and I never thought that there would be such a powerful program software, and there are also those super technical programming techniques.
, that’s simply...”
"Okay, no need to say any more." Seeing that V looked excited and was about to talk endlessly, Lin Mo had to interrupt him.
He had some understanding of V's current combat effectiveness. After all, he had often inquired about V's status from Jack before.
But now listening to V herself say this, it seems that she is quite satisfied with the improvement of her own strength.
Sure enough, even without Relic, her strength is still uniquely powerful.
"You have gained something from it, and your skills have also improved enough. Now you have become a marginalized person who is responsible for your own performance. I am proud of you, V, you really did not disappoint me." Lin Mo praised without hesitation.
He praised with words.
Johnny, who was listening to the conversation between the two, glanced at Lin Mo in surprise, as if he was getting to know the boy all over again.
What the hell, this kid actually has this side of flattering others?
Just when you are talking to me, you always use words to stab me from time to time, right?
An embarrassed smile appeared on the corner of V's mouth, and he followed Lin Mo's example and stretched out his hand to stop him:
"Stop, stop, what you said makes me blush a little... Let's get back to the topic. Let's talk about the current situation first. Regina called me over and said that she had a job for me. Is this a commission?
You posted it, right?"
She didn't forget why she came here tonight.
"It's me." Lin Mo admitted, turned his head and looked at Johnny standing against the wall, and then began to introduce:
"Well, his name is Johnny Silverhand, a rock musician with some musical talent. He used to be a soldier, and his combat effectiveness is decent, but compared to you, he is just a scumbag. Now he has got into some trouble and needs to hire you.
If you work as a bodyguard for a few days, you don't have to give him face during the mission."
He introduced to V again:
"And her name is V. She is one of the best fringe people I know so far. She has excellent frontal combat capabilities and unrivaled hacking experience. With her here, Johnny, you didn't have to worry about being robbed when you went to the toilet before, but she
After all, she's not as good-tempered as me, so you'd better treat her better."
Johnny's mouth twitched: "Bathroom...how come you kid always remember these things?"
He was too lazy to continue paying attention to Lin Mo. He turned to look at his bodyguard for the next few days, nodded to himself and said:
"Girl, you should have read the news. You don't need me to explain the specific situation, right?"
"News?" V was slightly startled, then shook his head and said:
"I was in a hurry when I came here just now. The NCPD and Arasaka Company security in the city didn't know what medicine they took. They blocked me along the way. I didn't have time to watch the news."
"Is there anyone who doesn't read the news these days? Don't you know Johnny Silverhand? Your news is too outdated." Johnny glanced at V in surprise.
"What's wrong? You're still a big star?" V looked at Johnny in disbelief:
"Then when I turn on the TV later and see you on the screen, should I scream like a little fan girl?"
Johnny twitched the corner of his mouth, put his hand on his forehead and shook his head, but in the end he didn't say anything.
It's so stupid. Why does this guy's way of attacking people look so similar to that kid's?
Watching the interesting conversation between the two, Lin Mo couldn't help but feel a little funny.
This feeling is quite subtle. The two people in front of me seem to be a pair of naturally happy enemies, just like the relationship between Sherlock Holmes and John Watson. They are destined to be a good couple.
Friends and friends.
This is also the purpose of him letting V serve as Johnny's bodyguard. Now the two can communicate with each other in reality, instead of talking to real people and ghosts like in the game. Isn't it an interesting thing?
He has significantly changed the plot of the original game.
For example, the characters who appeared in the prologue of the game, Johnny successfully attacked in the form of a prosthetic human, V's head no longer had the Relic chip, the Sword of Damocles, and Jack became the godfather of a gang, even possessing "
The hacker T-BUG, who is a "single force", is now also working under Jack.
It would be more or less a pity if V and Johnny had no contact from now on.
"Don't you want to know why it's so lively outside?" Lin Mo looked at V and raised his chin towards Johnny:
"Well, that guy is the culprit."
"Did he commit a crime?" V's eyes widened in surprise, and he lowered his voice subconsciously, then approached Lin Mo and whispered in his ear:
"I said Lin Mo, are you kidding me? There are Arasaka Company lackeys and NCPD outside. I may not be able to handle such a big battle by myself... It would be okay if I cover him and hide him, but
If he gets stupid and runs around outside, I can't stop so many security guards and police officers by myself."
Normally, she would do this kind of task of protecting important people, but now this "important person" who needed to be protected had caused such a big trouble. She had never seen such a situation before.
In fact, as an excellent and professional independent mercenary, she can choose whether to accept this commission.
But now the client of the task was Lin Mo, and she couldn't refuse at all, and she didn't want to refuse... so she had no choice but to chat with Lin Mo about the situation of this "important person".
She silently looked at Johnny for a few times, and looking at the guy's arrogant posture leaning against the wall with his arms folded, she couldn't help but murmured:
"Besides, I think this guy is probably the kind of person who is often stupid..."
"Who the hell are you slandering!" Before Lin Mo could reply, Johnny immediately became angry: "Conspiracy loudly in front of me, right?"
"You can actually hear it?" V looked surprised.
She just deliberately lowered her voice to say bad things, how could this forced brat still hear her?
It's over, it's over, this thing won't be messed up, right? The mission has already made people anxious before it even started...
"He has more prosthetics on his body, so he has better hearing." Lin Mo explained by tapping his ear with his finger.
Seeing V's doomed expression, he had to add:
"But you are right. He has a rather impatient temper, and occasionally does some stupid things. Otherwise, how could he have killed Arasaka Saburo?"
You're the one who talks like that...
Johnny Yinshou twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself, weren't you the one who made me take the blame? Why did you sell me out now just to take care of this little girl's face?
Are you coaxing a child?
Although he complained to Lin Mo several times in his heart, he still did not dare to tell the truth.
After all, there are still two outsiders present, and it is impossible to tell the truth of the incident, so the "real culprit" who killed Saburo Arasaka must be him.
It was so frustrating... Johnny felt that his good mood tonight was about to be ruined by these two guys.
"He killed Saburo Arasaka!?" V opened his eyes wide and looked at Johnny who was shaking his head and sighing in disbelief, his heart full of shock.
No matter how rich her imagination was, she would never have imagined that this careless guy could actually kill the legendary big shot!
Damn it, it seems like I need to pay more attention to the news radio in the future, otherwise I won’t even know what’s going on!
"You can ask him or Regina about the specific process later. Now while I'm still here, you two can have a casual chat first." Lin Mo patted V on the shoulder and comforted her with a few words.
, then walked to Johnny again, with a smile on his face, and started the private call:
[Stop getting angry with her. Even though she has been appointed as your bodyguard by me now, her status in my heart is actually much higher than yours... Remember that plan? She is also one of the protagonists.
One, and he is also a single protagonist!]
Johnny was startled and immediately understood the meaning of Lin Mo's words.
Single protagonist... If we follow what this kid said, wouldn't it mean that this chick will have to complete her own script by herself?
In other words, she will kill the security force of a company building alone in the future?
Is this chick so fierce?
Johnny's mind began to spin rapidly, and he believed that Lin Mo was not a person who liked to lie.
Maybe Lin Mo might occasionally joke around, but on such serious matters, he had no reason to lie.
...You fucking annoying little brat, you didn’t find me a bodyguard, but you found me a father!
Looking at the changing expressions on Johnny's face, Lin Mo could more or less guess that he was in a complicated mood.
However, Lin Mo didn't care too much and wanted the two of them to have a good chat.
But at this moment, the vision in front of him suddenly showed a phone call coming from him.
