Chapter 766 Johnny’s question
[Johnny: Most of the people who are difficult to beat seem to have mental problems. Why is this guy so sunny? 】
This question is indeed thought-provoking, especially for Johnny.
In the world of cyberpunk, being powerful means a lot of prosthetic body modifications. Many prosthetic body modifications are things that only madmen will do. Either the madman installs a lot of prosthetic bodies, or he installs a lot of prosthetics. Many prosthetic people went crazy.
Not talking about aliens like Optimus Prime, Jack at least looks a lot like a human being. In theory, he is a human being.
Even Lille felt a little emotional: For him, individual strength is limited, and collective strength is truly overwhelming.
But in his original world, it was not uncommon for some key figures of powerful collectives to be abnormal. When the war was at its most intense, it could even be said that there were no normal people at all.
But Jack is very normal, even sunny. When he invited Lear to join the resistance, he was able to clearly express his goodwill. His goodwill and his words were unified, that is:
If you There is no place to go, you are welcome to join the border and join our home.
Whether it is Johnny or Lil, in their respective worlds, although releasing kindness does lead to bad results most of the time, this behavior has become a common practice in almost all times. A concept that will be laughed at.
It feels like the bad guys' laughter is too loud, covering up every good-hearted voice released by the good guys, leaving only the sounds of ridicule, sarcasm, hostility and gun-toting sticks everywhere.
Some of these people are pure bad guys, and they will really do cruel things, but most of them are just ordinary people who want to bluff to make themselves look more "social."
Perhaps this is the change brought about by the era of interstellar colonization when facing the boundless starry sky?
With many thoughts in mind, Lear held Jack's hand:
"I am not just a self-disciplined AI. Maybe one day in the future I will find the place I should go back to."
"The border can still be a place for you to stay. Besides, you can even move your home here.
You have helped the rebels, and the rebels will be your eternal friends."
[Johnny: It is said that people who suffer more misfortunes are more cruel, and people in war are more cruel. Is there really a war here? ],
[Lille: It’s absolutely true, I think we should stop guessing. 】
"You are so enthusiastic. Okay, what are you going to do next? I will support you."
As mentioned before, Jack came to Typhon because the rebels detected a very powerful energy reaction on the planet. The rebels needed to know what it was to prevent the other party from developing weapons technology that they were unclear about.
In fact, before Jack and the others came here, the resistance army had already sent out a reconnaissance unit. It was because of problems with the reconnaissance unit that the resistance commander decided to send a large number of soldiers to land here.
The pilot who arrived here two weeks ago to serve as a scout is called Colonel Anderson.
“Colonel Anderson has been out of contact for a long time. We are now rushing to the rendezvous point agreed with him.
This mission was originally the mission of Captain Lastimosa. , now it’s mine.”
Titan walked on the earth, and Leal and Jack sat on BT's shoulders.
Typhon is a planet with beautiful scenery. Unlike Latveria, which is surrounded by mountains, the natural features here are more rugged and densely packed stone mountains.
Dense green plants are entangled on the rocks, and the water flows through and hits the stone walls, causing water splashes.
Where has Johnny seen this kind of scene?
[Johnny: Although the scenery here is free, it is more comfortable than those of Black Mewtwo. 】
[Johnny: I've heard that our world used to be like this, but I've never seen it. 】
[Johnny: It’s like when I was young, just when I was accumulating knowledge and strength to face the world, the world was already falling apart. ]
[Johnny: I wanted to find something worth fighting for, but in the end I found that those things were all empty words and fake][Johnny: I also joined the army and served for GJ, The result. The result was not very good. 】
Along the way, Lear was exchanging tasks and tactics with Jack, and Johnny kept feeling emotional.
What he feels most deeply about is Jack's attitude and passion. As a discarded generation of cyberpunk at the beginning of the 21st century, he is a deserter. He simply cannot imagine why someone can go there with such great passion. Soldier?
You know, most of the people he has seen who go to the battlefield with passion are freaks and perverts like Adam Hammer!
[Johnny: Ask him, ask him if he's not afraid? Don’t be afraid that your struggle will end up just for another group of people to dominate. Don’t be afraid that the people you killed will grab his collar at night. Don’t be afraid.]
Having said so much, Qiang Ni still couldn't tell the last reason.
But Lille knew what he was afraid of: the most immediate fear, of course.
Rain of bullets flew through the air, and there were threats of death from all directions. The protracted war lasted for days, even dozens of months, and years. There was no freedom. You had to obey orders at any time, and there was no end in sight.
Johnny wishes he was an uncompromising fighter, but the truth is, he's a deserter.
Although he used so many reasons to convince himself, his subconscious still felt that deserters were despised, and even he knew that he was really afraid of that feeling.
Liel also knew it because he had seen too many guys who said all kinds of nice things before being sent to military camps and battlefields, and in the end they all died in shit pits.
But Lille also knew that there would indeed be people like Jack.
It’s just that in the world of cyberpunk, it is really difficult for Johnny to see such people. Even if he does, he will most likely see their tragic death. Seeing their death will have no impact on the world. Unhelpful ending.
After thinking for a while, he still followed Johnny's wishes and asked:
"Cooper, are you afraid of the battlefield? Aren't you afraid that the Resistance Army will one day turn into something like the IMC?"
Jack was obviously stunned for a moment, his head A chuckle came from the helmet:
“My dream is to become a pilot, to become a real pilot, so that I can protect my homeland.
As for the resistance you said Become IMC”
Jack shook his head, as if he thought of something embarrassing: "I'm not very good at building houses, but when the war is over, I will definitely go back and find a piece of land for myself, build a good house, and circle a good piece of land." Farm
I’m not good at it either I always think about those complicated things, but I am a rebel, and I will build the border brick by brick with my friends and relatives.
Why do you think I will become my enemy?”
[Johnny: Damn, that’s like not saying anything. 】
Johnny's voice disappeared in his ears, and he also retracted into the sector.
Maybe it's because he feels more and more ashamed of himself. After all, what he's a native of Night City is best at cursing certain people, becoming a certain person, and then calling himself an asshole.< br>
Jack is definitely not that kind of person, so he has no idea why Lear asked.
But he noticed a small detail: "We are also comrades in arms now, why don't you just call me by my name?"
". Well, I remember that I also have a man named Jack. Friends, I’m afraid I’ve confused you.”
“Friend? I always thought you were a pure AI. It seems your origin is more complicated than I thought. What kind of person is he?”
"In a sense, he's very similar to you."
Jack responded with a smile: "Then I want to make friends with him."
Bang.
BT stopped.
"Jack, Leal, we are about to reach the rendezvous point with Colonel Anderson."
