Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 340 The main mission is completed!

Outside Arasaka Tower.

Ever since Li You led people to rush through the gate, the entrance to Arasaka Tower was immediately sealed and has not yet been opened.

Media from all walks of life surrounded the entrance three floors inside and three outside. This time, even the ace reporters from N54 and WNS were not left behind. They all came here.

There was no way around it. There was chaos inside Arasaka Tower, and they were locked inside. The two news stations couldn't get the news, so they had to send people over to watch it with their own eyes.

The order of the media present was also very clear. Big news stations like WNS and N54 were squeezed in at the very back, and the less famous and financially powerful ones were further out, standing in particularly neat lines.

But in fact, no one knows when their waiting will bear fruit. If they are not lucky, they will have to take pictures of the sealed gate of Arasaka Tower all night.

If it weren't for this process, faint explosions could always be heard in Arasaka Tower, and there was even some kind of vibration coming from under the feet for a while, then even these reporters would have fallen asleep.

I don't know how long I waited before there was finally movement at the gate.

Everyone present, including Gillian Jordan, the blonde female host of N54 who came specially for field work, became energetic at the same time and looked towards the entrance.

"oh--!!"

No, calling it a corpse is not accurate. Although the man Li You dragged had lost his limbs, was covered in broken mechanical organs, and even had part of his brain exposed, his twitching movements from time to time still showed that he was still alive.

However, Li You had already driven away with his companions. Some of the media who had reacted wanted to find them, but it was already too late.

Yes, what did Li You do in Arasaka Tower with so many people? Was it Adam Hammer he was dragging?
Li You's smile remained unchanged: "I'm just a mercenary, what can I do?"

"Adam Hammer?"

Li You turned around and looked, then smiled: "It's you. Why are you still here?"

"It's just that I accepted a job from a customer to help solve some minor problems. Well, this is one of them.

The reporters immediately fell silent. So much so that even though it was this moment, no one dared to go up and "interview" Li You.

Li You waved his hand, and David and V stepped forward beside him. David was holding his Lexington, and V was holding Johnny Treasures. At this time, Johnny's Q-version image appeared, but he didn't yell, he just stared at the heavy hammer calmly.

Not only because he was walking in front, but also because at this moment, Li You was holding a knife in one hand and dragging a mutilated corpse with the other.

Two bullets were fired, one into Heavy Hammer's brain and the other through his core.

From the dim hall, several figures slowly walked out.

"As for who he is, can you guys in the media recognize him?"

After a short moment of breathless watching, the first reporter finally shouted, and everyone else pointed their cameras at that person's face.

The surrounding media, including the nearest man, all stared blankly at this scene, and no one spoke a word.

"Yes...it's Li You!"

After a while, a person squeezed in from behind the crowd and ran in front of Li You under the gaze of many colleagues. As he ran, he shouted: "Li...Mr. Li You!!"

"No...impossible, is that..."

Although other reporters were a little envious, jealous, and regretful, they also focused their attention at this time.

The two stood on either side of Li You, looked at each other, and then fired at the same time!
"boom--!!"

The heavy hammer in front of me is none other than myself. He was transported from outside the city by the Night Demons not long ago just for this occasion.

The whole city, after several hours of waiting, finally received the first news. And as soon as this news came, the mercenaries in the city were excited!
There were heated discussions on the street, and even employees in major bars and companies were talking about the news. The death of Adam Hammer became the spark that ignited the entire city at night!

"Then I won't bother you."

On the heavy hammer's head, the pair of electronic eyes flashed and went out completely.

It wasn't until Li You left with his companions that these media talents instantly exploded!
Not only them, the short execution just now was broadcast live, so the whole city saw this scene!
“Tonight’s headlines – Adam Hammer’s death!!”

Many media outlets looked at the man who rushed out, and some people also recognized him: Isn't this the lucky tabloid reporter?

Everyone returned to Li You's apartment together, and as soon as Mann entered the door, he turned his back on the guests: "I won't go home until I'm drunk today!!"

And in the end, Li You raised his sword and swung it in a flash! The heavy hammer's mechanical head flew into the air and then hit the ground.

Compared with this, someone quickly recognized this person's identity.

And that was naturally Li You.

Li You raised his hand and threw the broken body of Adam Heavy Hammer into the open space in front of him.

Opposite them, the vibrations in his body allowed Adam Hammer to regain consciousness. He reluctantly opened his eyes and turned his head to look at Li You: "...It's time, isn't it?"

Zhong Hammer looked at Li You, and an inorganic laughter came out from his damaged throat: "...You do have the top level of strength in the legend, but when will someone else kill you like you killed me? !”

The man didn't care what his colleagues thought of him. He came to Li You with an old-fashioned camera, calmed down, and then asked in a steady voice: "Mr. Li You, can I interview you about what you did in Arasaka Tower?" ? Who is this...?"

But it wasn't just him, following him were first V and David, then Yuzu, Aggie, and the members of Mann's team who had returned to human form.

With a faint sound of mechanical operation, the explosion-proof alloy door that originally sealed the gate of Arasaka Tower slowly closed and opened.

Seeing the scarred but still ferocious-looking Legend of Night City, even the male reporter was frightened and took a step back, and the scene fell silent for a moment.

Although so many people came out at once, the media's attention still fell on Li You.

What flowed from the broken neck was not blood, but a dark oily substance.

Heavy Hammer trembled violently, and then the light in the core of his chest finally gradually dimmed.

Li You nodded slightly: "The right time, the right occasion, it's time to send you on your way."

……

late at night.

Li You stood alone on the second floor of the balcony. He had just finished talking to Lai Xuan and was thinking about what loopholes still needed to be improved.

Since he left Arasaka Tower with everyone including V, it was naturally based on the premise that Saburo Arasaka's men had been subdued, but the finishing touches still had to be left to Yorinobu.

——A few hours ago.

After Yorinobu connected Ultra's chip to the shrine and asked her to completely destroy it, the battle started by him and Li You against Saburo Arasaka was basically over.

Including Arasaka Tower, Yorinobu would personally go down to the bottom, also because due to the actions of the Night Demons and the Mann Team and others who joined behind, there were very few resisters in the tower.

As soon as the news of Saburo Arasaka's death came out, this group of people lost their last fighting spirit. Some committed suicide, some tried to die together but failed, and the last few chose to surrender.

After the battle, Li You and Yori Xuan returned to the upper level of Arasaka Tower. Here were the members of the Arasaka Board of Directors where the night demons had been gathered, as well as the main heads of various departments, and other important figures.

Therefore, including Hanako Arasaka, Michiko Arasaka, and all members of the board of directors, are all here. In addition, there is Abernathy, whose name is familiar to Li You but has never been seen in the game before, and her level of senior management, all the way down to department heads like Jenkins.

In addition to them, there are Takemura, Oda, and the remaining Arasaka ninja team under them.

With these people here, basically all the main high-level officials in Arasaka Tower are present.

And what is the purpose of calling them together? Of course, we need to provide them with ideological education so that Yori Xuan can completely control the Arasaka branch of Night City!

The conflict with Saburo was so big that anyone with any sense in Arasaka Tower knew what happened. This will be Yorinobu's base for taking over Arasaka affairs, and there is no room for error, so all management with some status will be centralized here.

These people must undergo ideological education to ensure their loyalty to Yori Xuan.

Yori Xuan himself naturally doesn't like this method, but he can distinguish between primary and secondary conflicts and understands that it is very necessary to do so.

When it comes to other branches, and even the Tokyo headquarters, all they need to do is attack the board of directors.

At this time, in the hall here, apart from these prisoners, there were only Li You, Yori Xuan, V, and some night demons. Everyone else was sweeping through the building, doing final cleanup.

Li You already held the Guangming Scripture in his hand and was ready.

Among all the prisoners, only Hanako Arasaka was not in the education team. Now that Saburo is dead, Yori Xuan still doesn't want Hanako to be involved, so she is just being held by the night demons and waiting aside.

As for Yorinobu's niece, Michiko, who is close to military technology, other board members, and Arasaka samurai such as Takemura and Oda, do not have this opportunity.

In fact, the character Goro Takemura is quite popular among the player community. Of course, everyone basically evaluates him as "not bad in nature, but it's a pity that Saburo Arasaka is stupid and loyal".

It is true that Takemura is an important character in the main plot. When working with him in the game, it can be seen that this uncle actually has his own interesting side, but once it involves the Arasaka family and Arasaka Saburo, he will become extremely stubborn. , broke through the south wall and didn’t look back.

Even in the devil ending, V told Takemura that Saburo was actually not dead. He had already backed up his consciousness and just watched Takemura being hunted. But even though Takemura was shocked after knowing this fact, he still persisted. He was loyal to Saburo Arasaka and refused to leave until the end.

This kind of obsession cannot be changed by others at all.

Li You didn't have much favorable impressions of Zhucun. Foolishness and loyalty were not a plus point for him, but he did feel that it was a pity that talented people with both civil and military skills were wasted in Zhucun's setting, so he simply arranged for him to join in and receive ideological education. of ranks.

At this moment, Li You stood in front of the board of directors, senior management group, and ninjas, and slowly opened the Book of Light in his hand.

As he recited something in a low voice, the Light Scripture began to emit a faint light, attracting the attention of everyone in front of him.

These people began to unconsciously repeat those words after Li You. It was a little messy at first, but gradually became uniform, and finally converged into a torrent of sound that resounded throughout the hall!

At this moment, V next to her seemed to see a white dragon figure appear above Li You's head, but then it flashed away. She was not sure if it was her imagination.

And as the Guangming Scripture in Li You's hand trembled suddenly, the book cover lit up with light, which lasted forever, then closed automatically, and the singing stopped.

The people on the board of directors all lowered their heads, but then raised their heads and looked at Li You.

Li You waved his hand: "Look, the current master of the Arasaka family, Arasaka Yorinobu, is looking at you."

Everyone raised their heads and looked at Yori Xuan, then stood up and bowed to him.

Lai Xuan came to Li You and asked, "Is this...complete?"

Li You nodded: "Just like your special team."

Yori Xuan also put away the complicated emotions in his heart and said: "Okay, then leave it to me. This Arasaka Tower is completely under my control."

"You just go back first, I will hold a press conference tomorrow morning."

Li You also nodded: "I will keep the Night Demons to protect you. These Arasaka ninjas have also changed their minds and can try to use it."

Li Youyou said, with a thought in his mind, he waved specially. So Takemura and Oda led the Arasaka ninjas to line up in front of Yori Nobu and salute: "Arasaka-sama!"

Lai Xuan also nodded: "Okay, very good. Now..."

But just in the middle of his words, Takemura, who was standing in front of him, suddenly had a fierce look in his eyes, and he suddenly took action, turned his palm into a knife, and stabbed Yori Xuan in the chest!

"Go to hell, traitor!!"

Takemura shouted and took action, determination written on his face.

A flash of surprise flashed across Yori Xuan's face, but he immediately flew back, avoiding Takemura's surprise attack.

Of course he didn't do this by himself. Li You, who was well prepared, pulled him back. In contrast, V stepped forward at the same time, grabbed Takemura's wrist, and held him in place, blocking his subsequent pursuit. Takemura subconsciously looked at V and wanted to break free, but behind him, led by Oda who had changed his allegiance, the Arasaka ninjas all pulled out their katana swords and stabbed into the body of their former leader without hesitation!

"Pfft-"

Blood spurted out of Takemura's mouth. He struggled to turn around, and all he saw was Oda's expressionless face.

"...Anyone who dares to attack Arasaka-sama will die."

After hearing these words from Oda's mouth, Takemura suddenly stopped moving.

A trace of regret flashed across V's face, but he didn't say anything. She let go of Takemura's hand, and the ninjas behind Takemura also pulled out their swords.

Having lost his support, Takemura couldn't stand. He fell to his knees with a plop, blood gushing out from his body.

He knelt on the ground, leaned back, raised his head, and looked at the huge chandelier emitting light at the top of the hall, as if he had seen the person who had brought him salvation and change.

"Arasaka, ten thousand years old..."

After muttering such words, Takemura's life finally passed from his body.

V, Yori Xuan and Li You looked at the dead Zhucun and were speechless for a moment.

After a long time, Lai Xuan asked: "Did you just know that his brainwashing was not successful?"

Li You replied: "I'm not sure whether it was successful or not. I just noticed something abnormal in him... He is the only one."

"I didn't expect that someone could resist my ability by relying on their own will."

Li You also admired Takemura's firm will, but when he thought about it, it was his loyalty to Saburo Arasaka that supported Takemura in resisting his own brainwashing, and he couldn't help but... hate that iron cannot become steel.

It can only be said that Takemura's loyalty to Saburo Arasaka, who changed his destiny and life, is engraved in his bones.

So this ending may be the most suitable for him.

Yori Xuan was silent for a moment and waved his hand: "Collect his body and secretly...send it back to his hometown."

The other ninjas bowed to accept the order, picked up Takemura's body and left.

And Yorinobu exhaled heavily before saying: "I feel sorry for Takemura, but it is precisely because of people like him and things like this that I have never wavered in overthrowing Saburo Arasaka for so many years. Determination."

He looked at Li You again: "Leave it to me here. You have worked hard too. Go back and rest."

"Oh, by the way, V, you may have to come to the company before and after tomorrow's press conference, but don't be too indulgent."

After this period of time, V seemed to be very familiar with Yori Xuan, and she would not care about the identity difference between boss and employee when getting along, so she just smiled: "That's what I want to say, don't get excited tonight Too much."

At this point, Li You finally took his people and left Arasaka Tower. Before leaving, he also completed the execution of Adam Hammer at the entrance.

——Back to this moment, it is already late at night, and the death of Hammer is still fermenting in Night City, but more people in high positions are also concerned about what is going on in Arasaka Tower?
Even Adam Hammer died in the battle, so what happened to people like Arasaka Yorinobu?

It was not that no one among them tried to contact Li You. Unfortunately, Li You had already turned off the function of receiving communications and ignored them. They could only worry.

Li You just laughed it off. He stood on the balcony, looking at the brightly lit Night City, and said to himself: If you want to know what happened, just wait for tomorrow's press conference!

Li You drank the wine in one gulp, and then returned downstairs...it was a mess again.

Mann and the others were lying down together as usual, especially Mann, Dorio, and Pyrrha, who slept together on the sofa.

There were wine glasses around them, and the one who drank all three of them down was none other than Yuzi.

Seeing Li You coming down, Yuzi burped and said, "They...can't drink!"

Li Yuyou said: Let alone Mann and the others, even he himself can't possibly drink Yuzu!

In addition to the lobby, there are also people on the balcony on the first floor, such as David and the others.

David didn't drink too much. He, Lucy, and even Gloria looked at the night view of the city by the pool outside the balcony, chatting from time to time.

David was smiling broadly, and Lucy was also smiling as she leaned against David. Gloria stood a little further away, looking at the two of them, also with a happy smile on her face.

Li You naturally wouldn't disturb the family of three. After all, even Rebecca was smart enough not to join in the fun.

…Um? Wait a minute?

Thinking of this, Li You turned around and saw Rebecca, Aggie, Sasha, and even V. The four of them were drinking and chatting around the bar on the other side.

This actually made Li You a little surprised: What are you, a weird combination, talking about here?
He also thought about going over to take a look, but was discovered by the four people. Sasha and Rebecca came directly and pushed Li You away.

"We women are whispering! You can't listen!"

"That's right, go ahead and drink by yourself!"

Li You: "?"

…Fine.

Li You didn't care and returned to the bedroom on the second floor.

His consciousness was still very clear, so he opened the system panel and looked at the achievements he had made in this world.

He has been in Night City for almost a year, and in his free time, he has accomplished all the achievements he can, such as the achievements of cyberpsychosis, among others.

However, Li You hasn't sorted out the rewards for those achievements yet. Maybe he can take a look at them tonight.

Moreover, Li You is still concerned about whether his main mission is completed?
But when he clicked on the main mission, he found that "Becoming a true legend of Night City" was still unfinished, but there was an additional mark at the end.

"finish quickly."

Li You said thoughtfully: "...It's a bit interesting."

At this time, there was a noise at the bedroom door. Li You turned around and saw that it was the four people who were whispering just now.

The other three were waiting outside the door. Only Sasha stood by the door and asked cautiously: "Li You, can we... have a chat?"

Li You: "Huh?"

……

the next day.

The whole city's attention was focused again, this time because Arasaka Company finally held a press conference.

All media in Night City are paying great attention to this, because everyone from major companies to people on the street want to know what is going on in Arasaka Tower.

What surprised and dissatisfied many people was that it was Yorinobu Arasaka who appeared at the press conference.

Moreover, he looked peaceful and unharmed.

Those who were not happy to see him were gnashing their teeth. Why is it that Adam Hammer is dead and your employer is still alive?

But what Yori Xuan announced at the press conference immediately shocked everyone.

At the press conference, Yori Xuan made no secret, and pointed the finger directly at military technology in the first sentence!

He publicly announced that his father, Saburo Arasaka, the head of the Arasaka Group, was indeed killed in the Kanbi Building yesterday. It was military technology that instigated the rebellion of his father's personal bodyguard.

After he returned to Arasaka Tower, military technology even continued to reach out, inciting the opposition within Arasaka to launch an armed attack on him.

However, Yori Xuan said that fortunately he was well prepared and hired elite mercenaries for support, and finally suppressed all the opponents who had been infiltrated by the enemy.

Although someone present asked about Adam Chonghammer's situation, Lai Xuanli ignored them.

Company announcements don’t need everything to be logical. Leaving a little unreasonable for the world to imagine would be more beneficial to him.

After explaining the causes and consequences of the previous riot, Yorinobu immediately announced that in the process, Arasaka also suffered heavy losses, and even the core technology project "Mikoshi" was also hit.

Therefore, the mikoshi is currently under maintenance, and the "Guard Your Soul" project service will not be available for a long period of time.

At the same time, Yorinobu announced that he will take over the position of president and CEO of his father Saburo Arasaka's company, and will officially hold Military Technology accountable!

He even said, "If military technology cannot give us a satisfactory answer, Arasaka will not hesitate to use all means including war"!
As soon as these words came out, public opinion instantly ignited the entire Night City!

Of course, everyone had reservations about what exactly happened inside Arasaka, but Yorinobu's tough declaration cheered up many people.

Could it be that Arasaka and Military Technology are really going to war again?

Compared with the people at the bottom, people who know something about corporate politics feel that the two companies should still be unable to fight. Lai Xuan's tough attitude is more to establish a typical foreign enemy to consolidate his position. That’s all.

What's more, the evidence presented by Lai Xuan seems to be ironclad, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it can be forged by just a few skilled hackers.

I am afraid that military science and technology will not bother to refute this kind of "evidence". As for starting a war based on it, it is even more nonsense.

Generally speaking, their thinking is correct. It's a pity that these people don't know that Yori Xuan's purpose was actually military technology from the beginning...

Of course, even so, the official outbreak of war is a matter for the future, and Li You doesn’t know whether he can wait until that time.

Because this morning, when Yori Nobu held a press conference, he had already arrived at Rogge's private box in the Afterlife Bar.

Rogge was still wearing the yellow waist-baring shirt with the word "SURVIVE" printed on it. With a smile on his face, he asked Li You to sit down.

"Congratulations, Li You." She said calmly, "You are now a legend in Night City. No one will question this."

"After all, you are a mercenary who walked out of the next life, so according to our tradition, there will be an extra copy of your cocktail recipe in the bar, named after you.

"Although there has never been wine belonging to a living person in the past or the next life, judging from your current reputation, this exception has to be made.

"As for the recipe, do you have any ideas?"

Li You looked at Rogge and also smiled: "Then leave it to Claire. I don't understand this either."

Rogge nodded and snapped his fingers: "Then, I'll take the first cup of 'Hunter Li You'."

Li You: "..."

How should I put it, this name still feels too weird.

He wanted to complain, but as Claire placed a freshly mixed glass of brand-new wine in front of him, Li You heard a soft sound in his ear, and the system prompt popped up.

【Ding! 】
