Chapter 22: Handsome Jack

Su Jing's understanding of "Handsome Jack" all comes from the recording files in the game. This man is cruel, fierce, selfish and cold. He always wears a mask on his face, possessing the excellent qualities of all villains. He murdered the premiered president of Heberian and replaced him. A villain living under a mask controlled power by lies and violence, and once controlled the entire planet Pandora. Under his leadership, Heberian Company obtained the mystery of Yi Element by any means, and achieved rapid improvement in strength in just a few years.

Su Jing knew that he had been pursuing the mystery of the "secret" on Pandora's planet and knew that he had obtained the key of the secret. But... if he wanted to open that key and summon the ultimate planet destruction weapon of the ancient race, he would either wait for the opportunity to open it every two hundred years, or use the "witch" to artificially charge the key to ripen the rebirth of the "samurai".

In the original plot, Jack's daughter "Angel" is a witch. He locks his daughter in a secret castle, treats her as a charger for the key, and ultimately has to let the angel choose the path of self-termination.

Angels have been with the players since the first generation of Borderlands, and are the players' guide and guide. Even in the second part, Jack revealed to the players that all this was done under his instructions, and it still cannot change Su Jing's love for this character. As for Jack who imprisoned the angel, this scum who treated his daughter so cruelly, Su Jing believed that as long as he had the chance, he should shoot him mercilessly.

Unfortunately, Su Jing is now under the gun on his head. The handsome Jack is holding the gun. Su Jing is not sure that this is himself, or a clone.

"Mr. Jack-I think I can explain these two things." Su Jing slowed down his tone.

If handsome Jack is asking himself these two questions, then it is certain that this person who does not know the truth about the adventurer also regards himself as a witch. The most prominent feature of the witch in the game is that in addition to the magic patterns on his body, they are all women.

He pointed to the gun on his forehead and pushed forward, signaling him to continue talking.

"As for the tattoo - I think it's not that good-looking, so I removed it with a laser... Of course, I can make it appear if needed."

“Answer the first question.”

Su Jing sighed secretly and then gave the answer.

"Uh...I've changed my sex."

The man holding the gun was silent.

Su Jing also remained silent and prayed in his heart that the other party could believe these lies.

He pulled Su Jing's face with one hand, and the man wearing a mask looked carefully, then moved the gun away.

"Okay...this guy...tell me your name."

"Su Jing, respected Mr. Jack."

"Okay, you are very polite. I like polite people. I can see that you are not the savages sleeping in your own shit. I can also see that you are a person who knows the current affairs. I like to know the current affairs. So, I believe you are willing to work for me, right?" The handsome Jack wearing a mask stood in front of Su Jing, and the pistol in his hand did not remove the gun from him for a moment, and all the equipment on Su Jing was removed.

"Uh...yes, Mr. Jack." Su Jing twisted his fingers, thinking about whether a flame hand knife could cut off Jack's neck now, but now, he seemed to be locked in a ward, and he didn't believe Jack would be unprepared.

"It's great. But your answer is so straightforward that it makes me feel insecure, so I want you to wear this so that our cooperation can be easier and more enjoyable."

Jack took out a collar, pointed a gun at Su Jing with one hand, and inlaid Su Jing's neck through the gap with the other hand.

Su Jing could tell at a glance that this was the control collar that Jack used to control Lilith in the game plot, and the one hanging on the body of Blood Wing is probably the same product.

As soon as he put on the collar, Su Jing felt a thin needle piercing into the back of his neck and even penetrated into his spine. Then an electric current flashed in his mind, and the demon hunting insects screamed sharply in his mind. Su Jing could feel that an electromagnetic wave was changing his heart and memory, forcibly hypnotizing him to obey the evil man wearing a mask in front of him. He hugged his head and moaned. The demon hunting insect in his mind was in a fierce confrontation with the radio wave, which was torn his brain into pieces.

"Well...will the rejection reaction of the mind control collar is so serious?" Jack narrowed his eyes under the mask and pulled the bolt.

After a long time, Su Jing slowly stood up from the ground and stood in front of handsome Jack with helpless face.

"Very good, perfect. Now, I'm going to give you a final test... bring people in!"

The door of the ward slid open silently, and Gaiqi walked in with a look of unwillingness. The mechanical warlock has now seized all its weapons, and even the mechanical left arm has been removed. She has the same collar around her neck. Gaiqi, who is usually energetic, now lacks an arm, and looks particularly...weak.

Jack flexibly turned the pistol he was holding and handed it to Su Jing's hand.

"Kill her. Now."

Su Jing was silent for a moment and looked at Gai Qi. The eyes of the two people intersected at this moment. Su Jing understood the meaning of Gai Qi's eyes:

Kill me, or we all have to die here.

But he knew that at the bottom of the girl's eyes was the desire to survive and the desire for life. She just continued to stubbornly not want to owe her favors or drag herself down.

Su Jing raised his gun, pointed it at Gai Qi's head, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.

Click.

The pistol is an empty position.

"Hahahahaha-very good, Su Jing...you passed the test. You will be my friends. How could I really let you kill each other? Okay, let's stop here today. You can talk about the past first, but... don't leave this room, have you heard it? Don't leave, this room."

The handsome Jack took the pistol back from Su Jing's hand and walked out of the door with a swagger. The room was not locked. Obviously, he had no doubt about the execution of the order.

The room suddenly became very silent.

Suddenly, Gaiqi pounced on Su Jing's arms. Su Jing's body was a little stiff, and she just gently stroked the girl's spine, like a kitten. He could feel the girl's tense back muscles gradually relaxing and softening in his arms.

"You did it right." Gaiqi whispered in his arms, "We are now controlled by his collar, and our thoughts are free-minded-except when we hear his commands. As long as we hear his voiceprints, the collar forces us to obey...I know you don't want to do this."

Su Jing bent down and said in her ear: "I swear. One day, I will blow his head to pieces with my own hands."

"Have I bothered you?"

Tina stood at the door, wearing a collar around her neck, looking impatient.

Su Jing and Gai Qi jumped backward at the same time, with a little embarrassed face.

Tina shrugged her shoulders, jumped into the treatment cabin where Su Jing was lying before, kicked her feet and closed the cabin door, and said, "I want to sleep for a while, you guys continue."

Su Jing did not tell the whole truth. When the needle in the collar was pierced into the spine, the demon hunting insects were fighting against the radio waves, giving him a few seconds of precious time. He risked the damage to the spinal nerves and paralyzed his lower body, forcibly used the energy of the flame to burn the guide needle in the muscle layer. The needle was still inserted into his neck, but he could no longer perform the function of transmitting radio waves.

When Jack gave him a pistol, he used the perspective function of the demon hunting insect to confirm that the magazine was empty and there was no bullet, so he did not shoot Jack, but pulled the trigger at Gaiqi.

I can actually tell Gai about the fact that he knew there were no bullets in the pistol in advance, but he was in a bad mood and didn't want to explain at all. If he explained, it felt like he was concealing his behavior, making him disgusted with him.

He closed his eyes and contacted Selina in his mind.

【…Our satellite has temporarily expired. What happened before?】

Selina's tone also sounded unpleasant.

"I, Gaiqi and Tina, we three were captured by the Hyberian Company."

【Haiberian Company has returned to Pandora?! Wait... I'll call Mr. Ivan.】

Since Su Jing did not have any friends with Ivan Vanke, the next communication was transferred by Selina.

[Su Jing, do you know where you are now?]

"...I don't know. We are locked in a closed medical cabin. We don't even know whether we are on the planet Pandora. If there is an accurate timer, I can also calculate from the gravity acceleration what height it is...if the gravity here is not artificial."

[...You should still be on the planet Pandora. If there is a spacecraft taking off and landing, it will not escape our surveillance... We know that Heberian and other remnants of the planet Pandora, but we didn't expect that they could still control some of the satellites... Do you know Jack's purpose?]

"Because I have some control elements, he seems to treat me as a witch... He should want to charge the secret key through me, turn on the warriors, and counterattack Pandora again."

[…Su Jing. Are you wearing the collar that is controlled by the mind now?]

"Yes. But I used my ability to avoid the influence of that collar, but Gaiqi and Tina were under control. I wondered how to get in touch with this collar from the outside."

[Be careful, Su Jing. Even if you are immune to its brainwashing effect, it can still be controlled to explode, and your life is still in Jack's hands. If you have basic mechanical tools, then I can guide you to remove the collar remotely... Wait, this is Mr. Ivan's instruction. Su Jing, we have a new task for you. Hidden by Jack, find out his plan, and then, if possible, destroy it.]

"I understand. Miss Selina. Can I ask for something?"

【Tell me.】

"If that day comes, I hope... can kill him with my own hands."

【……………………Okay. Mr. Ivan promised you.】

Handsome Jack... Su Jing silently recited this name in his mind.

This was the first time he had met someone who could be called "evil".
