Chapter 60 Return to the Human World

"Congratulations, Ott. You have returned to a safe reality from the brink of death. It is not easy to walk through the gates of hell."

When Ott saw Leon's face, he subconsciously jumped off the operating table, put on a defensive posture, and looked at him vigilantly: "Are you a human or an AI?"

In cyberspace, the shock brought to Ott by the AI ​​Red Queen was too outrageous, which caused Ott to still think that he was in an illusory data world.

"Leon, is she crazy?"

Lucy quietly pulled the corner of Leon's clothes and whispered in his ear. She suspected that Ott had lost a consciousness data packet, which caused him to be unable to distinguish between false and real.

Leon shook his head. The AI ​​Red and White Queen was still reliable. If there was really a data omission, they would definitely report it to him at the first time.

"The one who met you before was our company's AI weapon system. Its main functions are destruction and eavesdropping. It was it that performed your consciousness cutting surgery."

Leon patiently explained to Ott Cunningham: "The one who just sutured you was our LA company's network defense system. It has a gentle personality and is good at data processing and saving lives."

"And the one standing in front of you now is the CEO of LA company, Leon."

After the voice fell, Ott looked around the surrounding environment. When she saw the Mann team and the haggard Morgan Blackhand, she believed that she had returned to reality.

At that moment, Ott Cunningham almost cried out. She was forced by Arasaka Company to work in cyberspace for more than a month and almost got completely lost in it.

When hackers are deeply immersed in the digital world constructed by code and data for a long time, they can't tell what is false and what is real.

Humans are creatures that are easily assimilated. Even in cyberspace, once time passes, they are easily assimilated by the endless data and information, and gradually lose their perception of reality.

It's like when a person sees a beautiful scenery, he will mistakenly think that he is in reality, but the actual situation may be a dream, or he may be wearing a super dream device.

"Where is Johnny Silverhand? Did he escape from Arasaka Tower with Morgan Blackhand, Rogue and others?"

Ott, who came back to his senses, asked while covering his swollen forehead.

She saw Johnny, Morgan and others in the laboratory of Arasaka Tower. Although Johnny is indeed a scumbag, Ott still loves him deeply.

Even though he had walked through the gates of hell, Ott Cunningham still cared about Johnny's safety.

"Johnny is such a bastard. I had a fight with him and he left me on the side of the road. I happened to run into the Tiger Claw gang."

Utt recalled her experience of being kidnapped by Jotaro and others, and immediately felt resentful towards Johnny, but seeing that Johnny risked his life to save her, she was merciful and forgave him.

Faced with Utt's question, the Mann team and Morgan Blackhand were silent, looking at each other and unable to speak.

Obviously, no one wanted to say that Johnny Silverhand had died at the hands of Arasaka Corporation.

Seeing Morgan, Mann and others looking at each other, Utt immediately realized that Johnny might not have escaped. She opened her eyes wide and her nose suddenly felt sore.

"Johnny was captured by the Arasaka Company's troops. Saburo Arasaka announced that Johnny was killed on the spot, but I guess that old man Saburo will most likely use Johnny to do soul killer experiments."

In the end, it was Leon who took the initiative to tell Otto Cunningham the truth. Otto would know about this sooner or later, and there was no need for him to hide it from him.

"Otto, your soul killer has changed the world. More than half of the executives of Militech were killed or injured because of it. The war between Arasaka and Militech has been temporarily stopped."

"The president of New America, Elizabeth Kress, is also in danger because of the attack of the soul killer. At present, several states have declared independence and are out of NUSA's control."

"Arasaka Tower has also been almost destroyed by the high-powered bombs placed by Johnny, Morgan and others. It will take at least half a year to rebuild it."

"..."

Hearing these explosive messages, Otto felt a bolt from the blue. If she had known that the AI ​​soul killer would bring such a disaster to all this, she should not have written this source of disaster!

"Can we...can we rescue Johnny again?"

Ott Cunningham held back the tears in her red eyes and looked up at Leon in front of her.

At this point, it seems that the only person who can help her is Leon!

"If we form another mercenary team to break into Arasaka Corporation to rescue people, it is simply unrealistic, because we don't know which laboratory Johnny is imprisoned in at all."

Leon shook his head and explained the current situation to Ott, "The security alert level of Arasaka Corporation is now at the highest level, and a head-on confrontation will only further intensify the conflict."

"What about paying for ransom? It won't be of any use for Arasaka Corporation to ask for a rock singer!" Ott continued to ask anxiously.

But after saying this, even she herself felt that it was too ridiculous.

How could a gang thug who ran to Arasaka Tower to cause trouble be let go so easily by Saburo Arasaka?

Besides, it's a ransom. Arasaka Corporation is not a street gang, and they don't need her tiny profits.

Leon handed Ultra a pistol. It was the Mallorian kinetic revolver he gave to Johnny. Unfortunately, the owner of the gun was no longer alive, and there was still a bit of blood on it.

"Using conventional violence and interest exchange methods, Johnny can't be saved. I have a strong premonition that Johnny must be alive in some way, but his body may have died."

Leon looked at the Mallorian pistol that Ultra held carefully. He had someone extract Johnny Silverhand's DNA sample to be used as material for future physical reconstruction.

If Johnny's consciousness data was preserved, then Leon would still have time to exchange the cloning biotechnology from Zhutian Technology to help Johnny achieve rebirth.

"Ms. Ultra, please accept my condolences."

At this time, Morgan Blackhand stood up and said: "Mr. Leon and Johnny have paid too much for you, and many people have even lost their lives for this."

"If you really want their souls to rest in peace, you should make good use of your hacking skills to create a better world for mankind."

"Instead of letting Saburo Arasaka and his gang of damn scum abuse the AI ​​soul killer to kill people everywhere, I believe Johnny doesn't want to see this happen!"

Morgan Blackhand's words resonated with everyone in Mann's team. They have more or less come into contact with Arasaka's mercenary missions. Those little devils are really inhumane.
