Chapter 90 No solution!
"Ott, your name is Ott Cunningham. It's strange...I know your name even though I'm meeting you for the first time."
V was very surprised. He didn't know why, but he felt that he had a strange feeling for Otto, just like a close couple who had known each other for a long time.
This feeling is amazing.
"V, what I'm going to say next may be far beyond your imagination, so you must be mentally prepared in advance!"
Otto's expression was very serious, which made V's heart skip a beat. He became visibly panicked.
"You...just say it."
V tried his best to control his breathing, trying to calm his slightly agitated mood, but as Otto finished speaking, his face began to turn pale uncontrollably.
It turns out that the memories that appeared in V's mind that did not belong to him were all data of Johnny Silverhand's consciousness.
When V was hit in the head by DeShawn's bullet, the Relic chip began to run its program.
In the next few weeks, Johnny Silverhand's consciousness will slowly cover V's brain, and V's personality consciousness will gradually disappear in the process of overlapping.
To put it simply, with the help of the Relic chip, V will be forced to help Johnny Silverhand complete the "rebirth" program task!
When V learned all this from Ott Cunningham, he suddenly felt as if the end of the world was approaching. He couldn't believe that he had only inserted a chip, but it would lead to the annihilation of his soul.
"You mean... there's a stupid terrorist in my head that's eating away my consciousness bit by bit, and then taking over my body?!"
V's voice was filled with tears of disbelief. His good brother Jack was still in danger of death, and he was caught up in the Arasaka family's patricide. Later, he was stabbed in the back by Deshaun...
And now, after having managed to save his life with great difficulty, he is being forcibly possessed by a terrorist. The series of misfortunes makes V feel that his mental state is falling apart.
"Why is this happening! Can't we just pull this damn chip out?"
V stared at Ultra in front of him with red eyes. He didn't want to die so early, and he didn't want to die in such a weird and depressing way.
This is really too pathetic!
"Sorry, V, you can't take the chip out."
Ott Cunningham shook her head, her compassionate eyes also filled with sadness.
Obviously, she didn't want Johnny Silverhand to reunite with her in this way.
"After the Relic chip's program is activated, it will first devour a portion of your neurons as a medium for data download, then slowly transmit Johnny's consciousness to various parts of your brain and begin to reshape his personality."
"From now on, you will see Johnny, hear his voice, and even your personality and thoughts will slowly be influenced by Johnny."
"Once you forcibly pull out the chip, you will die quickly in excruciating pain. That feeling... may not be easier than being cut into pieces."
After learning that he could not remove the chip and could not terminate the chip program, V continued to suppress his emotions of collapse and tentatively asked Otto:
"Is there no way to stop this? Or... clear this guy's consciousness from my brain!"
In V's imagination, since there is no way to deal with this chip, there must be a way to deal with the data in the chip, just like deleting certain data in the hard drive.
V's thinking speed is faster than Ott Cunningham imagined. She does know how to delete the data in the chip, but doing so will also bring a lot of trouble. Since the Relic chip is based on Johnny Silverhand's consciousness, V's original personality will be rejected by this body.
If Johnny Silverhand's consciousness data is deleted, V's brain nerves will suffer severe damage, and the best postoperative outcome may be to become a fragile ordinary person.
But there is a high probability that V's illness will relapse, such as suddenly suffering from some brain disease and dying suddenly, and he will not live for more than a year or two.
Moreover, if he did so, V's brain nerves would no longer be able to support any prosthetic equipment he installed. For a mercenary, this would be completely destroying his own skills.
What's more...that's Johnny Silverhand's soul!
Ultra simply cannot bring himself to kill the person he loves so much. Once Johnny's consciousness is removed, there will no longer be any trace of Johnny's Silver Hand in this world.
In this way, Johnny's biological genetic samples retained by LA Company no longer have any meaning!
Even if Ultra used the power of the AI White Queen to carefully extract the data of Johnny Silverhand's consciousness, there was no guarantee that data would not be lost.
What if some critical data packet is missing, causing Johnny Silverhand to become a fool, a thug, or a bloodthirsty pervert? Or worse, the missing data makes it impossible to restart his body!
Otto can't afford to bet on any of the above results.
"Otto, can't you think of one more way? Please help this poor child... He just wants to live, there's nothing wrong with that."
Victor on the side sighed sadly. Although he and V had not known each other for a long time, the deep relationship they had established was already like that between father and son.
Victor didn't want V to die young in the end.
"There is another way... but it will be very risky, and I cannot guarantee the success rate of this operation."
Otto took a deep breath, her mood became heavier than ever before, and it was obvious that she didn't even want to talk about this terrible solution.
"Otto, tell me, a solution is better than no solution."
Victor and V looked at Otto Cunningham together, hoping to find a chance of survival from her words. Even if the hope was slim, it was worth a try.
"Okay, then I'll say it."
Ott took out a separation chip and presented it to V. Then she slowly said, "It is difficult to extract Johnny's consciousness data, but it is very easy to extract your consciousness."
"Because your body has already begun to reject your personality, the surgery will be much easier."
"I can extract your consciousness first, and then wait until Johnny has completely adapted to your body, then find a way to extract his consciousness, and finally let you return to your body."
"If we do that..."
Before Ott Cunningham could finish his words, V immediately rejected this outrageous plan. It was simply crazy!
The souls of two people went in and out of his body so many times. Is this even reasonable?
