Chapter 809: Patience

Seeing Regina again was somewhat of a surprise for D.

"I didn't expect to see you again."

"Accident?"

"More or less, after all, you lost contact after that. Plus you were in Europe at the time. I didn't expect you guys to actually come back to Night City."

"After all, we don't have anywhere else to go."

After taking D's tea, Regina sighed with emotion, and then she looked out the window.

"To be honest, I remember you said at the beginning that you didn't want to become the legend of Night City, but the king of Night City - and now it seems that you have really done it."

"Legends are worthless and meaningless."

D shook his head silently.

"Johnny Silverhand is still a figure in the eyes of those drunken drunks in the bar. No serious person takes him seriously. If you want to change all this, a terrorist-like enthusiasm will have no effect. Any change It all requires long-term, unremitting efforts and dedication - of course, I think those rock and roll lunatics who are addicted to drugs and alcohol cannot understand."

"Now it seems that you did a good job indeed."

Regina also agreed with this. Night City has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to before, at least she has deeply realized this along the way. The NCPD is no longer just an accomplice or lackey of capital, but a job full of honor. The police officers on the streets are gentle and courteous to the citizens, and are not arrogant.

The messy graffiti on the walls has also been swept away. Originally, in Night City, those dim alleys were high-incidence areas for murders, and you could even see corpses when you walked in. But now, those places have been tidied up and neatly, and people can walk around the streets with peace of mind. Although the supplies here are not very rich, compared to other places where the simple settlements are close to the primitive era, Said... This place is already very good.

"I don't know how you do it."

"It's very simple to say. In order to control the people, capital must clearly divide classes, men and women, blacks and whites, Asians and Africans. As long as people are separated according to different classes, they can be easily provoked. Fight internally so that the stupid idiots don't notice the capitalists who manipulate them as they please, and even if someone does, they don't have enough strength to unite and resist."

D spread his hands.

"So the next step is very simple, forcefully break all this, let them return to their original identities, and confirm that they are all human beings. In order not to be destroyed, they must unite, and coupled with my strong rule, they can no longer carry out It will be better if they differentiate from each other over time. Human beings are creatures that are very adaptable to the environment. They can survive no matter what the situation is. "

"I see."

Hearing this, Regina nodded, then she put down her teacup and looked at the angel in front of her.

"So, even if they are ruled by an electronic demon, there will be no problem?"

Faced with Regina's inquiry, D just curled his lips.

"Why, has this spread to the outside world?"

"Of course, some people even say that you are the first electronic demon in the world. It was you who contributed to the collapse of the Black Wall and destroyed the world. You just want to completely rule mankind... On our way, there are similar things. I’ve heard a lot of rumors.”

"Understandable."

D shrugged his shoulders. He was not surprised at all by this rumor. Especially after the emergence of the Electronic Demon, there have been rumors claiming that D is the first Electronic Demon. After all, from the appearance point of view, D is indeed very similar to the electronic demon. For example, it has no prosthetic body, has wings, and has parts that are not like humans. It can control powerful forces, and human attacks are ineffective against it.

Conspiracy theories are inevitable everywhere in this world, and the same is true in Night City.

"Don't you care?"

"not give a damn about."

Faced with Regina's curious inquiry, D chuckled.

"As long as you have enough power, these things are not worth mentioning. Taking a step back, even if I am really an electronic demon, who can do anything to me? Or, in this name, unite everyone, Want to overthrow or eliminate me? It's a pity that they tried, but it didn't work."

"You mean, from Taiping Prefecture..."

Regina wasn't stupid, in fact when she heard this, she connected immediately.

"That's right, those idiots from the Voodoo Gang claimed that I was not a messenger of God, but an electronic demon who came to Night City to confuse people's minds, so they called on the people to rise up against me. It's really ridiculous. Why should the gods have to do what they want? God is not an idol. He can be whatever the believers want him to be. How can he still be called a God? He is so stupid that he denies the God of reality for the sake of an imaginary God. Haha, what does it mean to be a God in the Bible? It should be like this or that. You are just making things up in your own minds, so why should you expect God to do it according to your ideas?"

After saying this, D snorted softly.

"If God does what you say, then who is the master of whom? If you really believe in God, then if God tells you to die, shouldn't you just die obediently? But in the end, you still say something.' Our gods wouldn’t treat their own believers like this. Good guy, you know the gods better than the gods themselves, right? In the end, you don’t want me to take action.”

"Well……………"

It must be said that Regina was speechless for a while after hearing D's unhappy complaints. Although D's words were a bit unreasonable, it must be admitted that if God really existed, what she said was still very reasonable...

"So you killed them all?"

"Of course, since the other party said that they would rather die than overthrow the evil rule of me, the electronic demon, and deal with me in the name of their so-called God who is nowhere to be found, I will naturally not be polite, so I killed them all. After all, keeping them is also a disaster, and if they are injured, medical resources will be wasted to treat them. It is better to kill them directly. It can also save a lot of food and supplies."

At the end of the speech, D's tone revealed a strong murderous intent, which made Regina tremble. But she quickly coughed and hurriedly changed the subject.

"So... where do you plan to lead Night City next?"

"It is impossible to completely eliminate the electronic network."

D sighed silently.

"Although it's not pleasant, I have to admit that humans must enter a new era, an era of coexistence with electronic demons. This is my next goal. To make humans learn and adapt to coexisting with electronic demons, and then become the rulers of the new world again... That's all I can do."

"This is a very difficult task."

"Yes, it may take many years, but it doesn't matter, I have plenty of time."

Speaking of this, D was somewhat gritting his teeth.

In fact, what D said was not wrong, no matter whether D stayed in this world for ten years, a hundred years, or a thousand years. Since this is only an uncertain future, as long as this future disappears, the time consumed by D is equal to 0. It's like you can easily pass a century or two in a video game, but in fact that is only the time in the game, and you may have only played for a few hours in reality.

Of course, the perception of the flow of time by the characters in the game is different from that of the players outside.

So D was very unhappy.

Very, very unhappy.

Originally, Duanmu Huai wanted to fight a blitzkrieg, but he didn't expect that the other party played earlier than he expected, turning the blitzkrieg into a long defensive war. In this case, the strategic goal also changed. In a blitzkrieg, Duanmu Huai only needs to find the culprit as quickly as possible and then kill him.

But a defensive war is different. A defensive war requires that one's side must survive. Now the situation in this future has become that if D lets go, humans may really become extinct, causing the future human nature to become a reality, and then connect with the past, then he will be completely at a loss.

So D is very unhappy, which means that he is likely to waste nearly a hundred years in this world. What's more, this is to make this future "disappear" instead of "exist"... It's just like playing a game save that must be deleted in the end, which is depressing.

And you have to spend time playing.

Thinking of this makes me even more depressed.

"Future... Can we humans really survive in such a long future?"

"I can only believe in the power of human survival."

Facing Regina's question, D sighed silently, and then looked at the night view outside the window.

To be honest, in this regard, Duanmu Huai is somewhat impressed by the emperor. The reason why he did not choose the path of the emperor to lead mankind forward was that on the one hand, Duanmu Huai really wanted to let the fittest survive within the human race, and on the other hand, he did not have the patience of the emperor to lead the construction of the human empire for hundreds or thousands of years.

This is also why Duanmu Huai, as a high-end player, did not join a guild or establish a guild himself, but instead brushed orders.

Because brushing orders itself is like a task, with a beginning and an end, you know where it starts and where it ends. But if you establish a guild or join a guild, then you will never know where the future of this guild is and what its end will be. From this point of view, Duanmu Huai is actually an impatient person who can't stand the long-term trouble.

If this world really wants him to stay for a hundred years, it will really kill him.

I hope this world can give me some strength.

Now Duanmu Huai can only pray for this.
