Li De was a little dazed, but after this daze, he suddenly discovered that there was a group of people standing on the ground where corpses were strewn.

Among them was a man he was very familiar with.

myles.

At this moment, she was standing in the middle, and the people around her seemed to be looking up to her.

Reed was a little dazed and didn't understand why Miles was standing outside.

Then who was the person walking with him just now?

Just as he was distracted, a huge shadow enveloped him. Miles turned his head and found that it was a robot. However, before he could react, a pair of clamp-like hands picked him up and clamped his neck.

Li De resisted immediately, but unfortunately a strong sedative and muscle relaxant had been injected into his neck.

In just a moment I felt my body losing control.

Miles below also noticed something was wrong, but unfortunately there was no place for her to escape in the long corridor.

Five minutes later, he was caught by two 'people' on all fours.

As for V, she had already received the information about who was coming.

It's her employer, Y.

"V! You betrayed me!" Miles was furious. She didn't understand why V betrayed her at this time. Was it because the conditions she offered were not good enough? Or was this a trap?

Miles didn't understand.

Before V could explain, the new President of the United States, who looked exactly like Miles, spoke first: "Don't worry, no one will betray you later."

"You!" Miles stared blankly at the person who looked exactly like her. Before she could speak, the head of the person who looked exactly like her suddenly disappeared and turned into a headless person.

But the next moment, she felt a pain in her neck and her head lost sensitivity to her body.

She saw a headless body in her field of vision.

Blood was still gushing out of the wound.

Consciousness is also quietly disappearing.

Just before disappearing, she felt the presence of her body again.

It's just that the scene and consciousness have quietly changed.

Miles moved his head.

"It's a bit rough because it was rushed." Miles' voice was still so natural, and one could even say that from beginning to end, Miles was still Miles.

The expression is vivid and even the eyes are very bright.

If we put aside the headless corpse, everything would just go on naturally.

Li De also saw this scene at the last moment before he lost consciousness. He was horrified and wanted to report it immediately.

Unfortunately, his system had been taken over immediately, so it was difficult for him to even move his eyes, let alone send messages.

And Miles seemed to be answering himself and said, "Just use it. You can change it later anyway."

"Too"

It was as if two consciousnesses were intertwining.

Soon Miles stabilized and came to V's side with a smile.

"V, the CIA is very satisfied with your efforts. Your file will be kept permanently. See you next time." After saying that, Miles left with confidence.

This left V stunned.

He was one Miles when he came and he was still one Miles when he left?

V stared blankly without saying a word.

Johnny also appeared next to V: "Fuck..V did you see that?"

"I saw it."

"Why don't you take a look at your neck to see if there is a crack? I suspect we are no longer ourselves." Johnny swallowed. To be honest, he felt like his worldview was shattered when he saw this horrifying scene.

V looked at the headless Miles and said, "Johnny... do you think we are making a deal with the devil?"

Johnny was silent.

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"It must be a lie. I don't dare to listen to the truth." V replied with a sigh. She originally thought that someone would pick her up and then kidnap her when she was about to leave Night City, or even restrict her in a way similar to brainwashing or adding a behavioral chip.

After all, in Night City or with modern technology, it is very easy to determine whether a person has betrayed or even said certain taboo words.

Just add a protocol to the system. If you are not sure, add a brain wave detection prosthesis.

If you are more ruthless, you can even install a sex doll chip in Miles to complete the remote takeover directly.

But she really didn't expect...such a horrifying result as a head replacement.

"Fuck...V I don't know what lie to tell anymore." Johnny came to Miles' body with a complicated look in his eyes, and he felt like he had to get it out.

"Has the company already achieved absolute control over both body and soul?"

V watched in silence.

The president of the New Beacon Country, the former CEO of Military Technology, an ambitious woman, now lies on the dirty and muddy land, and no one even knows that she is actually dead.

V tried not to look at it as much as possible.

She took two deep breaths and went back into the tunnel. She was going to meet up with them.

Just walking in this dim tunnel, the footsteps are gradually echoing, and every step seems to be walking on the heart, and the chaotic brain is full of uncontrollable fantasies in the darkness.

Finally, V returned to the sunlight, but this trip brought about a huge change in his state of mind.

Qiwei's phone was connected.

After briefly reporting the completion of the mission, V sat blankly on a chair in the residential area, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Johnny also sat on the stone steps nearby.

In fact, they were both thinking about one thing.

Is she, or are they both, still themselves?

After witnessing the horror of the base, the two men's brains urged them to forget, but it was like a thorn in their hearts, unable to forget, or even understand, the feeling that gave them goosebumps.

"Fuck...V, tell me the truth, how about we run?"

Johnny was the first to speak.

Johnny Silverhand, who is fearless and daring enough to challenge anyone, is now the first to speak discouraging words.

The shock of this scene was really too great for him to recover.

The aftereffect made them unforgettable for a long time.

V was silent. She was also afraid. It felt like you had lived your whole life, and suddenly someone told you that you were actually a brain kept in a nutrient tank, and everything you experienced was just a false illusion given to you by the motor signals.

Commonly known as the brain in a vat.

In other words, the theory of the brain in a vat is also very popular in this world, and there are even many antisense organizations that often talk about this issue.

However, many people scoffed at it, but now...V seems to have seen the real brain in a vat.

He shook his head.

"We can't run away. We're already on the pirate ship. We can't escape." V shook his head helplessly.

At the same time, she touched her neck and found no marks.

"After this matter is over, let's go find Lao Wei and check it out. If... it's really fake, we..." V fell silent at this point because he didn't know what to say.

And the same is true for Johnny.
