2077: V really knows how awesome he is

Band-Aid V was examining her and casually replied, "Sianweistein, I used Xianweistein."

"Impossible, S.A.S ...

"The Sinweistein of 2077 won't work, but I'm using the Sinweistein of 2157."

"Is there a difference?"

“There’s a big difference. Your S.A.W.S ...

"Controlling time? That's the most outrageous thing I've ever heard in my life."

"You do not believe?"

"Of course I don't believe it! Manipulating time? That sounds like something out of a science fiction movie."

"Then explain why you, a person born in 2077, were able to come to 2157."

“I…” V couldn’t explain, but stubbornly said, “Maybe you’re just putting on an act to fool me.”

"I really hope your life is as tough as your mouth," Band-Aid V said helplessly. "What right do you, a poor mercenary, have to make me lie to you?"

"I don't know, but I do know that no company dog ​​is a good person and can be distrusted!"

"Please, that's a complete stereotype. It's 2157 now, and the company is no longer the company you imagine."

"I told you, this is all just a show you put on, and I won't believe a word you say!"

"You son of a bitch..." Band-Aid V was furious, but stopped halfway through his curse and calmed down: "Forget it, you're young, I won't stoop to your level. I think we should get to know each other better first, like starting with our names. What's your name?"

"My name is V," V replied, then asked in return, "And you?"

Band-Aid V: "My name is also V."

The two Vs stared at each other, speechless.

"This can't go on. Tell us your real name, is that okay?" Band-Aid V suggested.

V in 2077 thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"You go first," Band-Aid V Snake Stick followed.

V from 2077 said unhappily, "Why should I speak first?"

"Because I asked first," Band-Aid V threatened. "Otherwise, why would it be because my fist is bigger?"

V from 2077 subconsciously touched the back of her neck, choosing to bow her head when she was under someone else's roof: "My name is Vera, and V is the first letter of my name."

"Vera? Spanish for belief?"

"What I mean is none of your business. And you, what's your name?"

"Valerie, V is also the first letter of my name."

"Then I'll call you Valerie from now on."

“No, you have to call me V, and I’ll call you Vera.”

"Why can you use a code name but I have to use my real name?" V... no, Vera exclaimed indignantly.

V replied, "Because the name V has a very special meaning in this world, you are not qualified to be called V yet."

"Tch, you think you're worthy? Anyone can brag, so tell me what great achievements you've made?"

"I unified the Earth and established the Federation of Humanity."

Vera: "...Huh?"

Chapter 144 A Tremor After a Tremor

"Unify the Earth?" Vera scoffed. "Are you kidding me?"

"Fine, don't believe me then." V shrugged indifferently, took out a chip and placed it on the table: "Here, take this."

Vera picked up the chip, inserted it into her neural slot, and asked curiously, "What's this?"

V said expressionlessly, "It's a time bomb, it'll explode in 15 seconds."

"What?!" Vera was shocked and frantically tried to pry the chip out, only to find that it was completely stuck inside and could not be pried out at all.

"You're so stupid," V said dismissively. "Don't worry, I was just kidding. It's not a time bomb. Picking up a chip of dubious origin and sticking it in your head? Have you always been this reckless?"

Vera blushed, whether from anger or embarrassment, she retorted stubbornly as usual, "I just didn't think that much about it for a moment. Haven't you ever done something similar?"

V, head held high and chest puffed out: "Of course not!"

Since Vera could say that with such confidence, she had no choice but to believe it.

"Okay, okay, I'll be more careful in the future and I'll never stick a found chip directly into my brain again, is that alright?"

V added, "Don't just wear sunglasses that you found in the trash."

"Okay...wait, how did you know I picked up the Mondae sunglasses from the trash can? Could it be that you also..."

"Ahem!" Under Vera's suspicious gaze, V quickly changed the subject: "The chip I just used was to treat your illness."

Upon hearing this, Vera's attention was indeed diverted: "Can you heal me?"

Before V could answer, Johnny, who had been silent for a long time, spoke up.

“V, there’s definitely a conspiracy behind this. I think you should take advantage of the company’s inattention and run away immediately!”

Vera began to consider this possibility, but V suddenly spoke up: "Don't listen to Johnny's nonsense. He's good at judging people, and he always does things on a whim. He's just waiting for others to clean up his messes!"

"Damn it, what gives you the right to say that to me... wait, how the hell can you see me?!"

Johnny was taken aback, as was Vera. V shook the personal data cable on her wrist: "Because I'm connected to her, sharing our senses."

Johnny frowned slightly, but didn't say anything more. He never considered himself to be someone to be ashamed of.

Vera frowned slightly: "Shared senses? Then why can't I see your field of vision?"

V explained, "It's you who unilaterally shared it with me."

"This isn't sharing at all!"

Vera was furious and gained a deeper understanding of just how awful this V was.

As expected, a company dog ​​is a company dog ​​no matter the era, even if you are the company dog ​​yourself.

V was quite happy, finding it amusing to tease her younger self.

"Getting back to the point," V said, "You asked if this chip could cure you, and my answer is—it already has."

Vera was taken aback: "Are you kidding me?"

V countered with, "What do you think?"

“But whether it’s Old Wei, Nightingale, Hua Zi, Miles, or even Ultraman, they all say that my illness is incurable.”

"Because it's 2077 where you are, and 2157 where I am, an 80-year technological gap. Your terminal illness could be easily treated by any senior intern I could find here, and they wouldn't even charge you."

Vera's heart pounded. She both hoped V wasn't lying to her and feared he was. Torn between hope and fear, she asked nervously, "Are you serious?"

V shrugged: "You can try removing the relic chip."

Vera was shocked: "Relic is highly integrated with my nerves; if I remove it, I will die!"

As soon as she finished speaking, V reached behind her ear and pulled out the Relic chip.

Vera was terrified, her heart skipped a beat, and then she realized—she wasn't dead.

"I...am...really...healed?"

She touched the empty nerve socket behind her ear, as if touching her own empty heart. The man who had been with her through life and death, through thick and thin, was gone.

A wave of melancholy washed over her, sticky like the skin on her hands after masturbating. Vera suddenly felt a pang of loneliness, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably. She wanted to cry, but what she ultimately let out was a carefree laugh.

"Hahaha, fuck your mother Johnny, you bastard, you're finally gone!"

Vera shouted with joy and danced around.

V understands this feeling; she seems to have said something similar back then.

“Thank you.” Vera said earnestly to V, “Although I still don’t believe it’s 2157, I’m very grateful to you for healing me. I owe you this once, and if you ever need anything, just ask. I’ll do anything for you, even go through fire and water.”

"No need for that." V made no attempt to hide his disdain: "You're too incompetent, you can't help me at all."

"Me, bad?" Vera retorted angrily, "I'm..."

"The famous V? Sorry, this isn't child's play 2077 anymore. You're just an unknown and hopeless unregistered person here."

"So what if you're an unregistered resident? You can still fight! If you don't believe me, just ask me for a job, and I'll make sure you're completely obedient."

"Are you really going to help me?"

"More precious than pearls!"

"Okay. There's been a lot of trouble on Mars lately, go and take care of their leader."

Vera was taken aback: "Mars? What kind of stupid company has that name?"

"It's not a company, it's the real Mars, the one hanging in the sky, which is an average of 2.25 million kilometers away from Earth."

The people at Villar were dumbfounded: "How am I supposed to get 2.25 million kilometers?!"

V shrugged: "See? You didn't believe me when I told you you were bad. Even elementary school kids know how to get to Mars. You're not even as good as an elementary school kid."

Vera opened her mouth as if to speak, but in the end, she could only remain silent.

"But there is one thing you can do to help me." The PUA succeeds; V's true intentions are revealed.

Vera's expression brightened, and she asked, "What is it?"

"Aren't you curious about how you got from 2077 to 2157? Actually, I'm quite curious too."

Vera became wary: "You're not going to slice me into pieces, are you?"

"Haha, not really, but we need to conduct some tests on you. We hope you will cooperate."

“Fine.” Vera scratched her head. “You healed me. As long as you don’t kill me, I’ll do whatever you want with me.”

"That's loyal!" V gave a thumbs up.

"Of course, the Haywood people have always been clear about their grudges."

"You live in Haywood?"

Yes, what about you?

“I’m from Charter Mountain.”

"Aren't we the same person? How come we have different names and live in different places?"

"This is a bit complicated to explain. It's too late tonight, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Late? It's only 1:30 in the morning. If we talk about it tomorrow, what am I supposed to do now?"

"Of course you should go take a shower now, can't you smell how stinky you are?"

Vera felt embarrassed and quickly slipped into the bathroom.

She was dying before, and for someone who is about to die, tidying up their appearance is purely for show to the ghost.

After showering with her hands against the wall, Vera came out naked, drying her hair with a towel as she asked, "Where are my clothes?"

"It stinks, throw it away." V ​​pointed to the table: "Wear new ones."

Vera walked over and took a look, her eyes immediately lighting up: "Holy crap, it's from Jinguji! High-end stuff! How much?"

"It's free."

Why don't you want money?

"Because I acquired Jinguji 34 years ago."

Vera's lips twitched, and she cursed the rich bastard in her heart.

As she dressed, she said, "We're both Vs, but you're doing so much better than me."

"I'm the one who's wondering," V retorted. "It's all V's fault, how did you end up in such a sorry state?"

Vera was about to recount her tragic experiences when V raised his hand to interrupt her: "Forget it, don't tell me. I'm not interested in stories that torture the protagonist."

The protagonist in the abusive novel puffed up his cheeks in anger.

V chuckled lightly: "Come on, let's go for a drink."
