Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 335 Death of Saburo Arasaka...?
This afternoon, the Night City was covered with clouds.

Yori Xuan sat quietly in the Tavernier suite on the top floor of the Cambo Building.

On the table in front of him was a special suitcase for storing relic chips, and a tablet with notes on how to store the chips was placed on it.

The high-imitation heavy hammer stood not far behind him, and the cybernetic night demons who had put on Arasaka agent uniforms were scattered in every corner of the suite.

"...Is the person here?" Yori Xuan looked straight ahead and suddenly spoke.

"We have arrived at the apron and are heading here." The electronic female voice in the room replied smoothly.

Yori Xuan then stopped talking, picked up the wine bottle on the table, and poured himself a full glass of wine. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Footsteps were heard from the suite leading to the rooftop apron. Soon, an Arasaka samurai in a black suit led the way. An old man with gray hair in a gray-black kimono slowly walked down the stairs. Arrived opposite Yori Xuan.

This old man who looks old but is still dignified in his movements is the patriarch of the Arasaka family. He is the living legend who transformed Arasaka Company from a small manufacturing company into the world's top economic entity, Saburo Arasaka.

He clasped his hands behind his back, looked at Yori Xuan who was silent across the low table and only focused on drinking, and said indifferently:
"...Do you think you won't notice that I have lost something?"

Hearing this question, Yori Xuan finally raised his head and glanced at him.

Before today, Li You had explained the unfolding of the original world line to Yori Xuan countless times, so Yori Xuan also knew very well that after Saburo came today, his reaction was different from what Li You said.

"And if I can't get the chip back during this trip, this city will also experience the horror with you."

The result of this slight difference is that Saburo Arasaka came to Night City faster than Yorinobu expected. It seemed that he did not even have time for his samurai and ninjas to carefully investigate what Yorinobu left behind. many clues.

"Yes." Zhucun retreated obediently.

Saburo looked at him and said, "I don't know what you wanted to do by stealing the chip, but the one you took is the most complete and most important of all experimental products."

"...I said, betrayal is not allowed. If you hand over the chip to an outsider, you will pay the price."

At this time, Takemura Goro, the Arasaka samurai who came with Saburo, was patrolling and scanning the suite.

After listening to his words, Yori Xuan immediately understood that the key to the problem was time.

Although there were prosthetic night demons standing in every corner of the suite, including high-imitation heavy hammers watching eagerly, Zhucun was not affected at all and turned a blind eye to their gazes. He just performed his duties rigorously, searching for everyone. A possible safety hazard.

"Mr. Arasaka, the comprehensive scan has been completed and there are no problems. Do you need me to get the things you want this time?"

Unlike himself in the original world line, Yorinobu did not contact the network surveillance agents this time, but he also forged a piece of information and stored it in his "secret account", specifically for Saburo's people to find out of.

If that didn't work, he planned to contact Li You and prepare to implement a backup plan.

Although they had conducted investigations in advance to prevent this kind of thing, Saburo Arasaka kept the information on the progress of chip research very tight. Even a chief R&D engineer like Herman could only get part of the fragmented information and tasks. Arrangement, so Yorinobu's prior investigation did not find the "test" that Saburo mentioned.

"As long as the chip is still there, I will not pursue your fault for the time being. I have always been tolerant to you, but betrayal is intolerable."

Saburo's eyes suddenly became sharp, even through the thick glasses, it seemed as if a sharp blade was piercing Yori Xuan's heart.

Saburo then turned to Yori Xuan and asked: "...Why did you steal the chip?"

Yori Xuan narrowed his eyes, but did not panic. Although the situation deviated from the plan, it was still within control. After all, Zhucun had been dispersed, and only he and Saburo were left here.

In today's world, my father has not found out his purpose of stealing the chip!

Fortunately, the development of things is now back under control.

As a last resort, Yorinobu had to take the initiative to speak, and allowed Saburo Arasaka to send Takemura away, leaving them alone space.

So Yori Xuan still said: "...What if I say that I have sold the chip?"

In the original world line "foreseen" by Li You, he stole the chip next year - the middle of 77, but now it is only the second half of 76, which is too early.

Finally, in the suffocating silence between Saburo and Yorinobu, Takemura completed his scan, returned behind Saburo, and saluted respectfully.

Yori Xuan thought a lot in an instant, and finally said: "With your hands and eyes reaching the sky, how can I hide what I want from you? If I could, you wouldn't be here!"

He immediately turned around and walked towards the elevator, and the high imitation heavy hammer and the prosthetic night demons also left with him, leaving only Yori Nobu and Saburo in the suite.

Saburo was silent for a moment, and then said: "...Then let's talk alone."

Naturally, Takemura would not object. He lowered his head and said, "Yes, Lord Arasaka."

Yori Xuan had no reaction on his face, but he was slightly relieved in his heart.

Hearing his words, even with Lai Xuan's current Qi-nurturing skills, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.

"...Could it be that I deliberately left clues on the Internet that were not discovered? It shouldn't be!"

But the reaction of Saburo Arasaka in front of him seemed as if he had not seen the information?

Saburo raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at Yori Xuan who was sitting upright, and said, "There's no rush."

Therefore, while Saburo was quietly waiting for Takemura to complete the scan, Yorinobu's heart was already raised, and his brain was running rapidly, thinking about what the problem was.

Lai Xuan remained silent.

"There is a key test to be carried out with that chip next, so there is no bargaining this time, you must hand it over immediately.

The question Saburo asked made him understand the key difference.

Things are back on track.

Didn't he actually offer to talk to me alone?

"...The problem actually comes from this."

"…Are you sure you want to talk to me about this in front of so many people?"

"Are you... planning to...?"

Saburo said no more, just looked at Yori Xuan with eyes that were so cold and almost heartless.

Yorinobu's shock and gaffe quickly recovered. He looked at Saburo's face and confirmed that he was not threatening, but telling the truth.

That's right, of course, that's Saburo Arasaka.

Yorinobu laughed at himself in his heart, when had Saburo Arasaka ever done anything bluffing? He was always ready to turn threats into action.

If that's the case, then he doesn't have to hesitate anymore.

Yori Xuan suddenly relaxed. He raised his glass and drank down most of the liquor that was left in the glass. Then he wiped his mouth and said:
"...Yes, you've always been like this."

Lai Xuan suddenly stood up and paced back and forth around the table.

"No matter who or what you are, everything is inferior to yourself in your eyes. You only think about yourself!"

Seeing how excited he became, Saburo frowned slightly: "Yori Xuan..."

He moved his steps, walked up to Lai Xuan, and said coldly: "Don't challenge my patience. Tell me, where did you put the chip?"

Lai Xuan looked at him and sneered: "I just said it has been sold to others!"

Saburo looked at him, as if weighing whether what he said was true or false, and then spoke again after a moment:
"...Really? It seems that you have finally embarked on this path."

"I knew there would be such a day. Sooner or later, your shamelessness will cross my bottom line.

“I’m sorry, Yorinobu.

"I'm glad your mother didn't get to see this moment. She would be heartbroken by the disappointment..."

In fact, this was not the first time Lai Xuan had heard these words. In order to completely restore the original course of events, Li You not only described it repeatedly, but even had Edge communicate with Night Devil, using role-playing to demonstrate the game plot in his memory.

But at that time, Yori Xuan watched everything from the perspective of a bystander, somewhat lacking in reality. But now, after hearing Saburo mention topics such as "tolerance" and "mother" with his own ears, the anger that had accumulated in his heart for decades was instantly ignited.

"...Yes, that's what happened, that's how it happened."

The anger surging in his heart made Lai Xuan understand why Li You chose to kill Saburo in such a not-so-smart way in the future he foresaw.

That was the result of the anger and unwillingness he had accumulated so far, and his long-suppressed belief in resistance, which were completely detonated by Saburo's words.

At this time, compared to himself in that world line, he was actually able to suppress this anger. After all, he already knew many things.

However, Yorinobu did not choose to control himself, but allowed the anger in his heart to rise, pushing himself to suddenly reach out his hand and grab Saburo Arasaka, his father's neck!

He exerted force with both arms, grabbed Saburo's neck, and pushed him back so hard that his whole body hit the huge LCD screen at the back.

Arasaka Saburo's eyes finally revealed unexpected horror. He stared at Yori Xuan, raised his hands feebly, grabbed Yori Xuan's arms, tried in vain to break free, but was unable to resist Yori Xuan's control.

Yori Xuan pinched Saburo, pressed his whole body against the LCD screen, and squeezed his neck with all his strength.

But he suddenly let go and took half a step back. His eyes turned away for a moment, and all kinds of thoughts were tumbling in his mind.

What would you think of yourself in the original world line at this time?
Yori Xuan closed and opened his eyes and said:

"...The fear named Saburo, it's time to end. Father."

The next moment, Yori Xuan strangled his neck again!
Arasaka Saburo's throat was squeezed and twisted, and he groaned. The air in his lungs was sucking in vain, but it could no longer sustain his life.

His old body lost the last of its strength. As Yorinobu's hand gradually loosened, the man who single-handedly created the legend of the Arasaka Empire slowly slid down the LCD screen and fell to the ground, losing all vital signs. .

Saburo Arasaka—or at least his body—died.

Yori Xuan looked at Saburo's fallen body, with horror still in his wide-eyed eyes. He took two steps back at a loss, with a rare look of confusion on his face.

This is not a show, there is no audience here, Yori Xuan is really absent-minded for a moment.

Saburo Arasaka, the person who gave him life, was also one of the culprits who brought distorted order to this world. He died in his own hands.

In the past few decades, Yorinobu has tried various means of resistance. In his deepest dreams, he also imagined the scene of killing Saburo with his own hands, and imagined whether he would feel happy if that day came. It's as if the clouds are clearing and the sun appears.

But all of that, when it came true at this moment, was all illusion. There was nothing else in his heart at the moment, only confusion.

Is this... the right thing to do? Can it be changed?
Even Yori Xuan today doesn't know the answer.

But his firm will quickly dispelled the confusion. Yori Xuan stood still, took two deep breaths, and regained his usual calmness.

He looked at the corpse on the ground and knew clearly that there was still a mark named Saburo in the shrine, and the story was not really over yet.

Yori Xuan calmed down for a moment, then changed to a panicked tone and said: "I...I want to blockade the hotel, my father was killed!"

In the Cyanbi Building, the alarm bells sounded instantly.

——In the guest room downstairs, Takemura, the high-imitation heavy hammer, and the prosthetic night demons were originally on standby.

The moment he heard the alarm bell, Takemura stood up and was shocked: "Arasaka-sama!!"

He immediately ran to the elevator, followed closely by Gao Fang Zhonghami and others. However, when the elevator door opened, he realized that he was a step too late and there was already someone in the elevator.

It was a young woman wearing Arasaka uniform. She looked at Takemura and the others with an anxious expression: "Come up quickly! Lord Yorinobu may be in danger!"

Takemura quickly scanned her, and the data showed her position as a counter-intelligence agent and Yorinobu's private security team leader, so she entered the elevator without suspicion.

"What happened?" Zhucun asked her.

"I don't know, but the entire hotel was put on emergency lockdown, which means...an important person has encountered a serious accident!"

Naturally, the person in the elevator was V. Her face was full of worry at the moment, and she was just right nervous. Takemura had no doubt at all, but his expression darkened: "...Don't let anything happen, Arasaka-sama!"

The elevator quickly returned to the top floor. Takemura was the first to rush out, and then he saw Yorinobu standing and Saburo on the ground. His heart suddenly sank.

"Lord Arasaka!"

Zhucun's expression changed drastically. He could no longer care about anything else and rushed towards Saburo's body.

But at this moment, the keen sense of combat he had accumulated over the years caught a hint of threat. Takemura had no time to think about it. Klenchikov and Sianwistan operated instantly, leading him to rush forward, avoiding danger after danger. Passed a short knife waved from behind!

Takemura's figure flashed away and he distanced himself. He turned around and saw that it was V trying to sneak attack from behind.

"you…!?"

Takemura immediately looked at Yorinobu aside, only to see that his face was also full of shock, while the "Hammer" and the prosthetic Night Demon dispersed instantly, seemingly surrounding V in the middle.

V clicked his tongue: "The response is really fast, he is worthy of being Saburo's personal bodyguard."

Takemura looked at Yori Nobu: "Sir Yori Nobu! Please order them to take down this woman. She may be related to this incident!"

Lai Xuan nodded: "Do it!"

"Hammer" and others all pointed their guns at V, and V seemed to have given up resistance and raised his hands.

Zhucun walked into the encirclement and approached her carefully, wanting to ask something, but before he could speak, there was another disturbance in the air behind him, and this time a heavy punch hit him in the back!
However, Takemura was on guard, and when his figure flashed again, he was about to distance himself.

But this time, following his actions, "Hammer" and V also activated Si'an Westan at the same time!
The figures of the two people also accelerated simultaneously, and the punch of the heavy hammer continued to fly. V from behind also slashed diagonally with his sword, and the attack hit Takemura mercilessly.

Takemura instantly made a judgment. He couldn't avoid the combined attack of the two with his speed, so he had to make a choice. The attack from the heavy hammer in front is more threatening and should be avoided.

So the compressed air flow erupted from his prosthetic legs, pushing his body to move and avoid the hammer's fist.

As for the dagger swung by V, Takemura stretched out his hand to hold it, his strength exploded instantly, and he suddenly broke the dagger in the middle!

V clicked his tongue at that time, but his reaction was just as fast. He punched Takemura with his left hand and hit Takemura on the shoulder. At this moment, the projectile launching system on his forearm flipped out, and electric high-explosive projectiles suddenly sprayed out. Spit out pellets!

Takemura: "!?"

This crazy woman, is she going to die?

But he soon realized that he had thought too much. The moment V's left arm electronic projectile was launched, the "heavy hammer" on the side had already rushed over and hit him directly, taking the electronic projectile and his whole body with him at the same time, and smashed it against the wall of the suite!
"Boom——!!"

The wall that was hit collapsed instantly, explosion smoke and electric current flashed, and gravel fragments flew everywhere.

"Heavy Hammer" didn't give up, suppressed Takemura, raised his fist and smashed him down.

"Bang——! Bang——!"

Seeing that the "heavy hammer" was suppressing the enemy, V did not step forward. Instead, his figure flashed and came to Yori Xuan's side, and at the same time closed the Sianwistan.

The short and fierce exchange between the three of them just now was all carried out in an accelerated state, so everyone present basically only saw three figures flashing around, and then "Heavy Hammer" pinned Takemura to the ground and beat him violently.

V looked at Yori Xuan: "Are you okay?"

Yori Xuan shook his head: "I'm fine, everything is going well. Next, I just need to subdue Takemura..."

"Boom--!"

Suddenly, there was a different muffled sound, which attracted everyone to look.

The "heavy hammer" that originally suppressed Takemura punched him again, but it missed. Takemura turned his head to avoid it, and then his prosthetic arm suddenly exploded, and with a strong movement, he actually knocked out the heavy hammer that was pressing on him. Open it!
V: "!?"

Takemura got rid of the suppression of the heavy hammer, his figure flashed again, and directly hit a prosthetic night demon surrounding him. While knocking it away, he reached out and fished it out, and already got the assault rifle in his hand. .

And Takemura raised his gun, aiming at Yorinobu!

The attack just now made Takemura understand that this incident must be planned by Yorinobu, and the death of Master Arasaka Saburo was probably related to him!
In this case, I must not die here, otherwise no one will be able to reveal the truth about Master Arasaka Saburo's death!

And if he is bound to die, then at least he must clean up the house for Master Saburo and not let such a person control the power of Arasaka.

Naturally, Takemura didn't know that if he really shot Yorinobu to death here, then Saburo Arasaka himself (consciousness) would be so angry that he would jump to his feet.

But anyway, V will not let him succeed.

The moment Takemura got rid of the "heavy hammer", V also started to accelerate. She flashed to the side of another prosthetic Night Demon, reached out from behind it and pulled out her own gun - an improved Achilles.

V stood still, took advantage of Si'an Westan's acceleration to aim at Takemura, and pulled the trigger without hesitation!
"boom--!!"

After a short period of charging, the bullet was ejected, and before Takemura had time to shoot Yorinobu, it hit his prosthetic arm.

Takemura's movements instantly deformed, the assault rifle in his hand also dropped, and he couldn't help but staggered to the side.

He turned to look at V in shock. Could this woman have predicted his target before he took action?

How is this...

"Bang bang——!!"

Not leaving him much time to think, V's expression was cold and solemn, and he pulled the trigger again!

Takemura wanted to raise his hands to block, but the power of Achilles' charged shot was enough to render his medium-sized subcutaneous armor defenseless, and the speed was too fast for him to dodge.

He could only resist with a specially customized arm prosthesis, but could not find a way to break the situation. Under the control of an opponent of the same level as himself, a technical rifle that was not uncommon in the first place also posed a huge threat.

But after only being delayed for a moment, the "Heavy Hammer" on the side rushed forward again, with machine guns and projectiles in both arms popping out. While shooting wildly at Takemura, he collided directly with him again!

Takemura, who was suppressed by the firepower, still failed to avoid its impact this time, and was pushed against the LCD screen column behind him. The "heavy hammer" even rushed in from one end against him and out from the other end, smashing the entire column into pieces!

Takemura was thrown away and rolled on the ground several times before he stopped. The skin all over his body was torn and dripping with blood.

But after being hit so hard, he didn't lose consciousness and still struggled to stand up.

But V didn't want to delay any longer. The longer they delayed, the more dangerous they would be, so she rushed forward before Takemura could stand up, waved Achilles in her hand, and hit Takemura hard on the head with all her strength!
"Boom--!"

This heavy blow destroyed all of Takemura's ability to resist. He fell to the ground with a bang and finally lost consciousness.

And V looked at Achilles, who had a twisted gun in his hand, and was a little surprised: "This guy... is really tough."

"Heavy Hammer" silently stepped forward, completely subdued and locked Takemura, and held it in his hand.

Yori Xuan, who had been hiding just now, came closer to look at him and said, "It's normal, because for him, being loyal to my father is his only belief. Fighting for beliefs makes people perseverant." ”

V shook his head: "It's a pity that he trusted the wrong person."

"...Indeed." Yorinobu didn't deny it, "But this is Saburo Arasaka's ability. We will definitely have to deal with more people like this in the future."

While they were talking, several gunshots were heard from the rooftop apron. It was the Night Demons who had just been sent by Yori Xuan to deal with the bodyguards left behind on the floating vehicle, who had completed their mission.

Yori Xuan looked at V again: "Very good, everything has been dealt with here now. But it's not over yet, the next step is my battlefield."

"Get ready, it's time to convene the board of directors urgently."

V also nodded: "Then, I will survey the scene now and make records according to the standards of the Counterintelligence Department."

Lai Xuan nodded: "Okay."
