from night city

"No, no... no... of course there is no problem."

"Then what else do you want?"

"No...it's okay, I just...came up to say hello to you and wish you a nice morning."

After finally stammering out these words, the car owner rolled around and fled in a hurry, running as fast as he could, only regretting that his parents had lost two legs.

Su Xiao turned the technical revolver in his hand in a circle and put it away.

There were still big eyes staring at each other in the car.

But the silence didn't last long.

Finally Jack spoke.

"Forget it, someone has to do it. I'll do it."

"No, wait, Jack, there must be another way."

"What else can we do? Even if we drive to Lizzie Bar now, it will probably be too late. Even if the integrity will not drop to zero by then, but the integrity has dropped so much, who knows if the data inside will still be left? How much, how much more can it be worth?!”

Lidya Su thought for a while and suddenly reached out to Jack.

"Give me the relic."

Jack was stunned for a moment: "Su, what do you want to do?"

"Evelin just said that the Relic cannot be in contact with the outside world alone, but if it can be temporarily stored in the human body's nerve slot, then why can't it be stored in the machine's slot?"

V and Jack were both stunned.

It seems that what Lidya Su said is right.

but……

Some of them don't dare to gamble.

What if something goes wrong...

Seeing that Jack didn't respond, Su Xiao impatiently said again: "Okay, give it to me quickly, we have no time to waste."

Jack felt that Su Xiao's plan was unreliable.

If it can be done casually, then why does relic need to be stored in a special freezer?

The result of this is likely to be that the chip data will be cleared, and they will have nothing left in the end.

But considering that Su Xiao did this out of concern for his safety.

Finally, Jack gritted his teeth and handed the box over: "Here."

Su Xiao took the freezer, opened it, and carefully took out the relic chip contained inside.

The entire chip glowed red.

From the outside, there is no visible loss of integrity of the chip.

But Lidya Su didn't dare to delay any longer.

Immediately insert the chip into the slot of the small flat head

The three held their breath.

Focusing on the little crew cut.

Nothing happens.

Jack looked at the little crew chief worriedly: "Is this a success or..."

In comparison, Lidya Su seemed much calmer.

"Anyway, let's just give the chip to Dexter and let Dexter argue with Evelyn. Our work is done anyway."

"If the data inside is really cleared, there's nothing we can do about it. At least the relic chip itself still has a certain value. It shouldn't be a problem to sell it for tens of millions."

Seeing that Jack seemed a little depressed.

Lidya Su patted his shoulder again.

"You can't make enough money, Jack. As long as you live, good things will happen."

Jack nodded, agreeing with Lidya Su's statement.

At this time, the news broadcast from the car radio attracted the attention of the three people.

"The following is the latest news that our station has just received:"

"The founder and CEO of Arasaka Corporation, Saburo Arasaka, was announced to have passed away in Night City. His son Yorinobu Arasaka found his body in the penthouse suite of the Kanaki Tower Hotel."

"Currently, we don't know whether the death was caused by natural causes or whether there was another conspiracy."

"Many witnesses reported that they heard gunfire and explosions outside the hotel multiple times. So far, the Arasaka Beach has been blocked by the Arasaka Special Strike Force, preventing the NCPD from launching a formal investigation."

"We are still waiting for the official statement from the public relations department of Arasaka Company. Please do not believe the rumors and do not spread them..."

When they heard the content of the car radio clearly, the three of them were stunned.

"Arasaka Saburo...that local emperor...is actually dead?"

"He died in Night City? Wait...when did he come to Night City?"

All three were puzzled.

Arasaka Yorinobu came to Night City, which was known to everyone in the city.

But when did Saburo Arasaka come to Night City?

Why is there no news at all?

At this time, Lidya Su suddenly remembered something.

When they were still in the penthouse suite of Chambi Building, they saw several aerial vehicles coming to the rooftop of Chambi Building.

At that time, Su Xiao used the tactical eyepiece to scan, but could not get any information.

Could it be that……

Are Saburo Arasaka in those floating cars?

Following this train of thought, Lidya Su continued to think.

It is not difficult to guess the purpose of Saburo Arasaka coming to Night City——

He must have discovered that his personally customized relic had been stolen from Arasaka's laboratory by Yorinobu.

That's why he came to Night City and the Cambi Tower.

As a result, he is now dead in the Kanbi Building.

"Arasaka Saburo is dead? It's over now! Damn!"

Even Jack realizes this relic is now a hot potato.

Saburo Arasaka died.

Arasaka will definitely make big moves next.

Originally, Watson District had been blocked some time ago.

When Arasaka Yorinobu discovered that the relic was missing, he would not give up.

All their previous plans were based on the premise that Arasaka Yorinobu was not discovered.

He took out the chip without anyone noticing, and then sold it before Arasaka Yorinobu noticed.

Now Saburo Arasaka is dead, causing uproar in the city.

Can relic still be able to get rid of it at will?

……

Ten minutes later, the sedan stopped safely outside the Silent Motel.

"V, if your leg is injured, don't go up there."

"I am fine."

V still thought about it, but Su Xiao pushed her down on her seat without any explanation: "Don't be brave, you are already doing me a favor by sitting still."

Then, Su Xiao looked at Jack again: "Jack, you stay to protect V."

Jack nodded.

When they were in the Cangbi Building before, it was only Su Xiao who had to fight his way out for the two of them to escape.

Even legendary figures like Adam Hammer were defeated by Su Xiao.

What else is Jack worried about?

Besides, Su Xiao just went to hand over the relic to Dexter, not to fight.

No need to worry blindly.

……

Amidst the rain, the doorway of the Tight-Talked Motel exudes pink light.

It seems like this is not a motel, but a Japanese love hotel.

Su Xiao walked through the aisle filled with garbage and stepped onto the dim stairs.

Walking through the gloomy corridor, we finally came to the door of Room 204.
