The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

The body covered by the slightly sexy golden-red heavy armor awakened Lai Xuan's suppressed memory after the rebellion failed.

"Blood... Riot?"

I vaguely remember that it was called this name.

He was also the culprit who caused him to fail in the last raid on Arasaka Tower, but he did not suffer any punishment?

Well, although it is a bit unkind to say so, I really can't think of any suitable words for a while.

And now the alarm in the Blue Building will stop, which must be the work of the other party.

He looked at the surrounding scene and the wall clock above his head again, and murmured in a low voice:

"Incredible, is this what Saburo has been studying?"

Although the research on space transfer has not been left behind by various related institutions, it has only remained in the conceptual stage until now.

But now I have experienced it myself... and Lai Xuan is very sure that this is just the tip of the iceberg.

"So what do you want to do? Revenge for Saburo?"

The sight pretended to drift towards the direction of the bedside table in the room-there was his personal customized pistol.

Although he knew rationally that he couldn't succeed in counterattack, he still didn't intend to sit and wait for death.

Lin Qiao, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him, waved his hand:

"Don't be so nervous right away, after all, I've been unhappy with that old guy for a long time... To be frank, I'm here to cooperate with you."

"Cooperation?" Lin Qiao spread his hands and started to lick the dog's position at the same time.

For some reason, Lai Xuan suddenly felt not so nervous, and he looked at the man in front of him a little pleasing to the eye.

"Yes, don't you want to get the world out of the control of the company? But to do this, you must integrate the power within Arasaka... I can help you with this."

Lai Xuan fell into a brief silence.

He didn't want to pursue how the other party knew his ideal for the time being.

But judging from the other party's performance, it was at least not a bad thing for him at the moment.

Having said that, he didn't refuse or agree immediately.

The former was because of distrust, and the latter was also because of distrust.

One is character, and the other is ability.

Even if he has a dog-licking stance, in essence, that thing is just equivalent to a favorability accelerator. If his will is too firm, the effect it can play is limited.

After all, compared with other animals, the reason why humans are called humans is that they can use reason to comfort emotions and use thoughts to control desires.

But there is not much time for Lai Xuan to think at the moment.

And the other party let him go last time, so he decided to gamble... Anyway, now he is already walking on thin ice.

Chapter 386 I still have high hopes for you, the big boy

"What are you going to do? The people on the board are not so easy to convince."

As one of the very few people who know the truth about his resistance to Arasaka when he was young, at least he is a small part of it.

The people on the board will never watch him lead Arasaka to perish with other companies just to give the mud legs of this world a better life.

"It's very simple, there are two ways-"

"Either you take over Saburo Arasaka's identity."

"Or, let Saburo Arasaka pass the throne to you directly."

Lin Qiao shook her head in Lai Xuan's eyes, "Do you want to listen to what you are saying?"

Walked to Saburo Arasaka's body and raised one hand.

Then, a thick smoke instantly enveloped the part above his neck.

When the smoke dissipated, his face had turned into Lai Xuan's.

Plastic surgery?

But the speed was too fast, just a few breaths completely changed a person's appearance.

Lai Xuan frowned, but he probably understood what Lin Qiao meant-if combined with the genetic modification technology of 2077, he could indeed make a fake look real.

But despite this, he did not make a decision immediately.

"What about the second way?"

Lin Qiao did not speak, but separated a ball of genetic material.

The blue gel expanded rapidly, and then mimicked Saburo Arasaka's appearance.

"Oh, my big son~, do you miss your dad?"

"..."

The familiar voice, the familiar tone, is exactly the same as if Saburo Arasaka is still alive...

No!

Is it really that he looks like Saburo, not that Saburo looks like him?

Looking at the grinning "Arasaka Saburo", Lai Xuan suddenly had a terrible guess...

If that guess came true, it would at least explain why his father's temperament changed drastically in a few years, and he even intended to support him to take the position.

In the past, this was totally unreasonable...

But now is not the time to pursue this.

Although it is a bit scary to think about it, considering all factors, at least the credibility of the person in front of him has increased a lot-but it is also more creepy.

At least with the short time of contact at present, he can't figure out the true thoughts of a non-human creature.

"Let me ask you for the time being, I should have no room to refuse, right?"

"Of course, although I don't want to use coercive means on you, but if it is really necessary, then I can only temporarily deprive you of your ability to think for yourself."

Sure enough!

Hearing this, Lai Xuan sighed in his heart.

His father was not his father at all in the past few years.

"So, what do you want to do?"

"Destroying the world... or something like that is naturally unlikely."

Seeing Lai Xuan's frozen expression for a moment, Lin Qiao smiled.

"If I have to say it, it's love and peace...that's pretty much it."

"I believe you will not refuse me."

He nodded with self-identification.

Although it was clear that he came here to discuss with Yori Xuan, but again, it didn't matter whether Yori Xuan helped or not.

Saburo Arasaka's former shares, top management authority, and nuclear bomb button are all in his hands.

"Anyway, let me cooperate happily for the rest of the time, what a big boy~"

…

Well, although being called son by an unknown creature, there will always be an inexplicable feeling of relief in his heart, which makes Yori Xuan doubt himself a little.

I wonder if I have developed strange mental problems due to excessive stress over the years...

But put aside these trivial matters.

After careful consideration, Lai Xuan finally chose the second method provided by Lin Qiao.

——That is, passing the position.

It's not that he has any objection to pretending to be his father. If he really wants to say it, it's actually for the sake of the next action.

Saburo Arasaka's identity is very convenient.

——Lin Qiao has already experienced this in the few years since he came to this world.

But unfortunately, the shortcoming is also right here.

It's too convenient, but not very convenient.

As mentioned before, Arasaka is a gathering place of militarism under the skin of a company, and Saburo Arasaka is the emperor of this empire.

Therefore, his prestige can be said to be so high that it is outrageous.

To put it bluntly, the stench in public restrooms is overwhelming. If we don’t get rid of this stuff, there will be a steady stream of flies and maggots.

Even if you bring a bottle of perfume in, it can't change the disgusting image and smell of Serenity.

——As long as he doesn't die, even if it's just an AI with his own personality and memory, even if someone in Arasaka has a different intention, they can only hold it in for a long time.

All things considered, it does more harm than good.

Regarding this point, Lin Qiao didn't say much. Anyway, he just knew it well... The rest was up to Lai Xuan.

Mimicking himself as Saburo Arasaka, he left a "will" and sent out the notice by the way, handing over his official position as president, and the matter was settled.

Of course, in order to make things smoother, the two decided to create a time difference and change the order of things.

Saburo Arasaka, who forged the idea that his life was about to end, passed the throne to Yorinobu urgently before he was poisoned.

Because all decisions were made and implemented within an hour, and the location of the incident was Arasaka's own property, and there were no other witnesses, the maneuverability was very high.

After all, few people would offend the new emperor in order to avenge him after the old emperor died.

——That’s making trouble for yourself.

Without any surprises.

As soon as the news of Saburo Arasaka's death by poisoning was released, it set the entire press... around the world on fire.

In this world controlled by corporations, the head of Arasaka, who was the largest in the world, was poisoned. This was much more explosive than the president of a country escaping to death.

It didn't even take a few days for the news to ferment, and all kinds of news had already spread throughout the world that night.

Yori Xuan also bit him to death because his father was deliberately murdered by other companies...

Coupled with the nuclear explosion incident some time ago, the situation that was originally like a powder keg has become even more heated.

It seems that everything is just a few sparks away from the doomsday when nuclear bombs are flying all over the sky...

During this period, another area of ​​focus was military technology.

After all, everyone doesn't know that the boss and second-in-command in Night City are Arasaka and Military Technology, and these two are also in a position where they want each other to explode on the spot.

It can be said that there is sufficient motivation.

Although the latter said that he didn't know anything, and he really didn't do anything this time.

But if nothing else, it has inherited the orthodoxy of the old United States. It is difficult to completely clean up the nuclear explosion at the Arasaka Power Plant.

Two in 1945, and another one exploded in 2023——

In the early days of nuclear peace, you have to have experience in military science and technology. Who among you here can match it?

Precisely because of his own aura of ridicule, Yori Xuan chose military technology as the first target for surgery.

But just when the situation became increasingly tense, V approached Lin Qiao.

"No, k! I'm possessed by an evil spirit!"

"?"

Chapter 387 Back on track

Although she roughly understood what was going on, Lin Qiao still couldn't hold back when she heard V's words.

A strong purple man came to mind.

Although he had never seen it with his own eyes except in the animation, Lin Qiao subconsciously recalled the situation in the chicken-eating qualifiers.

How should I put it, the fight was pretty miserable back then...but now is not the time to recall the past.
