The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

As Falco, the driver, finished speaking, the modified armored vehicle started its engine and left the vicinity of the club at the fastest speed.

What they didn't know was that this scene was captured by an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft in the sky.

At the same time, people ambushing around the club, including those on the nearby rooftops, were also watching their every move.

The common point was the Arasaka logo on them.

…

Arasaka

In the combat meeting room, a dazzling red dot was clearly visible on the large screen in the center of the room that was displaying the map of Night City.

A group of people from the Arasaka Counterintelligence Department and the Special Operations Group were operating something on the screen in front of them non-stop.

"It has been detected that the target has entered an abandoned apartment in the North Industrial Zone of Watson District, just as expected."

"The other party has a network hacker. Next, in order to avoid being discovered, cut off the signal and send robots to watch the sewers... How about the data kept by Tanaka?"

"Yes, Lord BloodRiot has sent people to clear it in advance and replace it with virus files."

"What about military technology?"

"No signs of large-scale mobilization have been found yet."

"Keep watching them."

As intelligence came in one after another, Abernathy, the director of the special operations team, was commanding the situation on the scene in an orderly manner.

No one cared about Tanaka's life or death. As early as when BloodRiot's plan was passed by Saburo Arasaka, his fate was already doomed.

Even if he was a senior executive of Arasaka, it was the same - but now it should be said that he was a former senior executive.

In a corner of the room, Sasha was like a little transparent, sitting aside doing nothing.

- She was a guarantee here.

The build drive that had been inserted into the full bottle was firmly fixed on her waist.

"Report, a car appeared near the target location... The two people who caused chaos in the club before are on it. It is speculated that they are the target's companions."

"Companions? Pull out their information."

With Abernathy's order, a staff member of the counterintelligence department briefly explained the information of the two.

"?"

After seeing the familiar figure on the screen, Sasha, who was originally a little sleepy because of boredom, was stunned instantly.

"Manin? Pira?"

What are you doing! ?

After being stunned for a few seconds, he twisted his stiff neck and whispered to the staff beside him to pull out the modified car picture just taken.

After a careful look, although the changes are indeed quite large, and because of the darkness, the picture is not very good.

But the paint on the car door is exactly the same as when she was still there... Gan!

I said why the method of preventing detection before was so familiar, it turns out to be you!

After understanding this, Sasha almost died in Bengbu.

Crack!

The canned coffee in his hand was directly crushed into a ball.

The sound of the aluminum can deforming attracted a lot of people's attention.

Abernathy cast a questioning look at this.

"... Sorry, I'll go wash my hands."

Without explaining the reason, Sasha suppressed the shock in her heart, gritted her teeth and lowered her head to walk out of the meeting room.

——Why did those idiots take this order when they could accept any other commission! ?

This is a real dead end!

Having said that, she couldn't do nothing for the sake of everyone's past friendship... Although it didn't work, at least she could try.

Otherwise, these idiots would really be dead!

"Hey, Lucy? Help me call K..."

At this time, she could only think of one person who could help the group of idiots inside.

Chapter 352 Warning from an old friend

"Ahhhh! It really hurts me, you're too heavy, boss."

Sitting on the sofa, Pi La pulled a face and complained to Man Yin.

There were also these drugs for treating external injuries on the table in front of him, and his left face was obviously swollen.

In order to buy time for David upstairs and attract other people's attention.

The two simply had a fight in the club... The result is naturally needless to say.

Even if Man Yin had already played a lot, as a technical expert and as thin as a stick, Pira naturally could not be his opponent.

He couldn't even do basic defense.

On the contrary, Man Yin, a meat tank, punched down, and Pira, as a fragile skin, almost opened his mouth and closed his eyes.

"Sorry Pira, but for the sake of truth, I can't hold back too much."

"Hiss! Really, I should have let David come here earlier."

At least he has experience in this regard.

Wipe the wound with alcohol, but then he grimaced in pain.

And Rebecca, the good sister next to him, was gloating, laughing on the sofa and even clapping with her feet.

"Rebecca, how is the data now?"

"Qiwei is hacking in now, but the situation seems a little pessimistic. The old woman's temperature is so high that she looks like she's almost cooked."

"Really..."

Man Yin groaned.

But after all, it's Arasaka's firewall, so it's natural that it has a high level of protection and is not so easy to break through.

...But why do I have a bad feeling?

Is it because of the driver who let Tanaka run away?

Or ignore something else?

Just as he was still speculating where this uneasiness came from, a communication suddenly came in.

[…Manin, did you hear that? ]

[This voice… who are you? ]

A familiar voice revealed in the strangeness made Manin unable to react for a while.

[It’s me, Sasha, long time no see. ]

“Sa, Sasha? Is that you!?”

When the person on the other side introduced himself, Manin couldn’t help but shout out.

“Huh? Who did you say just now?”

“Hey, is this true? Sasha?”

After hearing his shout, Rebecca and Pira beside him couldn’t help but widen their eyes, obviously also shocked.

This is much more unexpected than a classmate who hasn’t contacted for several years after graduation from college, suddenly calling at noon.

It’s probably not getting married, or borrowing money.

In fact, since the biotechnology incident, after the other party was introduced to Arasaka by Lin Qiao, they have no longer contacted each other.

After all, everyone knows that in that situation, it is not good for anyone to contact each other again.

Not to mention that Mr. K later quit the company, which made it even harder for them to get news about Sasha.

To be honest, whether the relationship would fade after such a long time of no contact, but now at this critical moment, the other party suddenly contacted...

It is really hard not to think too much.

[Long time no see... But you called so late, is there something wrong? ]

[Tanaka is in your hands now. ]

[Eh? No, what else are you talking about...]

After a brief shock, Man Yin subconsciously chose to pretend not to know.

However——

[Don't play dumb, Man Yin, your and other people's information has been posted on the big screen of Arasaka, and now the entire Arasaka Counterintelligence Department and Special Operations Group are watching you. ]

Is it true?

Man Yin, who felt cold in his heart, immediately looked out the window...

But under the cover of the night, he did not find anyone.

[Don't look anymore, you can't see anyone in that direction. ]

[! ]

Even though there are still many doubts, since Sasha in Arasaka would call to warn them, and even accurately exposed their coordinates and his actions just now, it means that all their actions are under Arasaka's surveillance.

——Even including the act of kidnapping Tanaka.

'Not good, really not good! '

Although I don't understand why Arasaka would watch their top leaders being kidnapped, there is no doubt that their current situation is extremely bad.

[…So, are you a lobbyist for Arasaka? ]

After thinking about it, Man Yin felt that this was the only possibility.

[No, on the contrary, I'm here to save you. ]

[Save us? I don't quite understand what you mean...]

[Don't you understand yet? Tanaka has been abandoned by Arasaka, and now he is just a bait! Specially used to catch you idiots! ]

Sasha on the other end of the communication said anxiously.

Although she has reported the situation to Lin Qiao, the entire operation will not stop because of this.

Abernathy wouldn't allow it, and Lin Qiao wouldn't allow it either - although the latter was familiar with Man Yin and the others, they weren't that familiar.

Perhaps the cyborg doctor K could give them some convenience, but "Lin Qiao" couldn't.

However, she couldn't expect to stop the whole operation with just one word.

The only room for her to operate in this matter was to persuade Man Yin and the others as much as possible and cooperate with Arasaka's actions as much as possible... At least in this way, she could save her life afterwards.

After all, Arasaka's main target was not them.

[Anyway, I'll make it short. If you don't want to die, listen carefully! ]

Ignoring Man Yin who wanted to continue asking something, Sasha interrupted him in a deep voice.

She didn't have much time left.

[Listen! Get your hacker out of Tanaka's brain quickly. There's nothing in it except viruses. If it's too late, she'll be dead! ]

[And don't try to escape or resist. If you really do that, you'll be dead. 】

【The only thing you can do now is to pretend that everything is going on as usual, and then tell the client behind you that you can't crack Tanaka's defense, and give up the commission, and let him come to pick him up! 】

【You can find any reason. If it doesn't work, just say that you didn't like the hacker and beat her up, or that Arasaka's search team came to your door! 】

【Finally, remember! Arasaka's target is not you. As long as you don't get in the way, Arasaka won't care about you! 】

After explaining everything clearly, Sasha hung up the communication.
