Johnny Silverhand's singing is touching, and everyone can hear the anguish and sadness in the singing.
Duran thought that Johnny had the characteristics of a hippie. Hippies were called the beat generation, but although hippies smoked, drank and permed their hair, the American empire was powerful at that time and they could find jobs at any time, so young people were decadent because of their choices.
Too much confusion.
When you are young, you smoke, drink, and perm your hair. When you are almost old, you find a job and live an honest life. This is the common situation of hippies.
But although Johnny Silverhand inherited the hippie style, his decadence was not because of too many choices, but because he had no choices. He had to be decadent.
In the era of hippies, many young people were decadent, but there were also many young people who were pursuing the dream of American imperialism. Decadence was just a choice. Although they were called the beat generation, in fact many people just had enough to eat and could do something to show off themselves.
things.
It’s not that Johnny Silverhand is full, but he really has no choice. In Night City, young people can do nothing but smoke, drink, perm their hair to numb themselves, and can only fight and kill on the streets.
To live.
There is absolutely no hope for such a day.
So he vented his dissatisfaction through singing, and his fans also gathered because of his singing.
Dulan looked at these people and knew at what age these fans were shunted.
"When the majority of college students are discussing how to find a job, children in Night City are divided into public schools and private schools at a certain age, and the separation is completed. Public schools provide happy education, while private schools work just as hard. Some parents do not believe in evil and are very
To send their children to private schools, parents work hard and even commit crimes to earn money for their children's tuition. But once they can't afford the tuition, they still have to drop out of school and enter the street world to work hard." Du Lan is talking about the protagonist of "Edge Walker"
guard.
David's single mother worked hard, even if her hands and feet were dirty, so she had to pay David's high private school fees. She also tried her best to encourage David to become a master and a white-collar worker.
As a result, David was discriminated against by his classmates at school, and he did not understand the goal of pursuing excellence. It was not until his mother died that he met a group of young people similar to himself that he truly understood the importance of advancement. He wanted to take his girlfriend there
Moon, if you want to make money, you have to work hard.
He has a girlfriend who forgets his mother, and his mother asks him to make progress, but he is unwilling to do so. In order to realize his girlfriend's wish, he is willing to risk his life.
David's experience also proves that the divergence starts with the children. Children who can afford private schools are superior to others, and students who cannot afford private schools just need to be happy.
These happy children can only make a living on the streets, facing various crimes, or go to the battlefield like Johnny, not knowing who they are fighting for, and in the end they can only be knocked down by fate.
But these have nothing to do with Section 9. Their mission is to investigate whether Johnny Silverhand intends to carry out a terrorist attack on Arasaka Company.
"I found it. Although Jack who held the event had a false identity, the leader of the fan club is not a fake identity. He is here." Togusa investigated various intelligence and made a big discovery, that is, the core members of the fan club are
On site.
Lock quickly.
It was a green-haired guy with long hair and his favorite idol tattooed on his arm. At this moment, he was standing in the crowd, swaying wildly. Although his body was still here, his soul was resonating with his idol.
"This person may know some secrets." Togusa said.
Du Lan said: "I just talked with him and he was very exclusive. If we dress like this, he will definitely not say anything. Does he have a girlfriend or family?"
"He is married and has a child. What do you want to do?"
"We can take hostages and threaten the other party to tell the truth," Duran said.
"Stop, we are law enforcement officers and we cannot cross the line. Your behavior is illegal."
Dulan said: "What you said is valid in the island country. We must abide by the law in the island country. But in the City of Night, Saburo Arasaka is the law, and we can use any means to protect Arasaka Company. As long as we protect Arasaka Company, even if we kill and set fire
It’s legal, but if you don’t believe it, you can look up the Adam’s Hammer.”
Togusa didn't know why Duran mentioned Adam Hammer, but he checked it anyway. It would have been better if he didn't check it. But when he checked it, he was shocked. He found out that Adam Hammer was a felon with many achievements, and he was responsible for three lives alone.
More than ten. But now he is still the right-hand man of Saburo Arasaka.
If he were in the island country, it wouldn't be enough for Adam Hammer to go to jail ten times, but in Night City he is free and can even continue to kill innocent people indiscriminately, and no one will hold him accountable.
"As you can see, Adam Hammer is protecting the company, so all his actions are legal. Although we kidnap hostages and torture them to extract confessions, we are still law enforcers. As long as it is for the benefit of the company, everything is reasonable and legal.
Yes, no one will hold us accountable, this is Night City." Duran said happily.
"But what about the innocent people?"
"They can spend money to buy trauma team rescue, they can buy police protection, they can buy bulletproof cars, and they can have their bodies modified... Rich people are qualified to enjoy safety, and poor people with no money are in Night City.
It's just consumables. These are the rules of the game." Duran quickly adapted to the world of cyberpunk.
But Togusa didn't like this kind of thing, because his salary couldn't afford so many things, and he could only hope that parliamentary policies could cover this part.
He still thinks that the parliament is superior, and hopes that the parliament can assume some of its obligations. Night City is really a company, but regardless of these messy things, it is all about money. If you have money, various companies in Night City will provide services.
If you don't have money, get out.
The situation in Night City is very similar to Renaissance Florence. There are several workshops under the huge trade union, and each workshop is responsible for a certain area. There will also be cooperation and competition between trade unions.
Although during the Renaissance, Eastern Rome was still there and the great voyages had begun, Florence was reviving the system of ancient Athens.
The reason why ancient Athens was revived was mainly because the Eastern Roman Empire was still there, and they could not say that they were Rome. At the same time, religion was also very powerful, and they had to fight against religion.
So they searched everywhere and found ancient Athens as their theoretical support.
The situation in Night City is similar. The parliamentary system is still there, and so is religion. Night City uses its geographical environment to make war profits. If it wants to be independent, it can only use ancient Athens and the Renaissance as its theory.
During the Renaissance and the Crusades, Florence also made war fortunes.
It can be said that Night City is the modern Athens and the current Florence. The more chaotic the outside world is, the more money they make and the more comfortable they are.
In Night City, everything is centered on the company. Whether it is public security, rescue, firefighting, education, etc., they are all for the purpose of making money, and even the bottom employees of the company may not be able to enjoy it.
Togusa must not be able to stand this kind of environment. Everything is given priority to the company. This is so unreasonable.
"The company cannot take all the benefits," he said.
"Haha, what else do you think?" Duran said: "The Renaissance was a group of city-state aristocrats who made war fortune in order to ensure their own interests. It was a way to fight against Eastern Rome and religion, in order to make everything beneficial to themselves. Could it be that they
Do you still want to serve the country and the people? Naturally, everything is focused on making money. Only in this way can it be most beneficial to you and ensure your own advantages." "So as long as we are also beneficial to the company, torture and extortion of confessions is not a problem, believe me."
From the beginning, the Renaissance was not for the sake of the country and the people, but for the city-state merchants to maintain their advantage.
"No, although we have left the island country, we cannot forget our basic principles as law enforcers and cannot break the lower limit!" Togusa still demands that he cannot forget his origins and cannot fall down even in the City of Night.
He still uses the laws of the island country to restrain himself, and is unwilling to join in the troubles or become a thug of the company. He must be responsible for himself and the country.
