The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

In fact, right after the call, V hurried to Heywood's clinic.

It's just that the person who came with her was not the old acquaintance Jack... but another old acquaintance.

"Hino Hidetoshi?"

"..."

At that moment, Takemura Goro's forehead was obviously blue.

Why are you all like this?

It was fine when Lord Saburo was still alive, but why do you, a mercenary and a black doctor, also say this! ?

Seeing his lips trembling slightly up and down, you can tell that he is not in a good mood at the moment.

But no one cares.

V was lying on the operating chair, and a data cable was connected to the computer from her nerves.

Lin Qiao sat next to her, pulling her eyelids with her hands for a symbolic examination.

"How are you now? Do you still feel uncomfortable?"

"... It's okay now, but I was dizzy before, and I seemed to see something, and I was particularly nauseous..."

Answering Lin Qiao's question, her voice revealed a sense of weakness.

But at this moment, a mocking voice suddenly appeared in her mind.

[Heh, isn't that nonsense? If I lie there and other men mess around with my body, I'll feel sick too. ]

"Shut up, Johnny!"

[Yo, you're getting angry just talking, you're not enjoying it, are you? ]

"Get lost!"

V's tone became irritable, and in the eyes of outsiders, she was just getting angry at the air.

Lin Qiao glanced at him and didn't say anything.

She just picked up the pen slowly and wrote a few words on the medical record.

"I didn't expect that something like that happened in the Blue Green Building, and you and Jack are still in Night City."

Lin Qiao didn't say that, but he really didn't expect it.

Now people in both the black and white worlds are looking for the murderer of Saburo Arasaka like crazy, and the situation is getting more and more heated...

Not to mention them, even ordinary people, as long as they have some conditions, want to leave Night City.

It's just that --

"...what can I do? If I could run, I would have run long ago."

The words were extremely helpless.

After the sudden death of Saburo Arasaka, she and Jack did not flee Night City immediately.

--Not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't.

Although they knew their own business, Lai Xuan was the one who killed Saburo from the beginning, and therefore, neither he nor Lin Qiao was very concerned about the search for the so-called murderer from the beginning...

But it's different for others!

And as the saying goes, the whole show is done, all kinds of blockades and bounties are in decline.

In this case, it's not easy to leave the city.

Even a person with a completely innocent experience will become a suspect of murdering Saburo Arasaka-not to mention mercenaries like them.

That's the focus of investigation.

Not to mention that they really went to the Blue Sky Building.

Finally, not to mention, Jack's mother and lover Misty are both in Night City, and it's impossible for them to go on a spontaneous trip.

Therefore, the more reliable way is to find a place to hide first, wait for the storm to pass, and then take the whole family to find an opportunity to leave.

Facts have proved that what they did was indeed correct.

Because the two people who can make the decision at the top are not very concerned, and although Arasaka is the leader of Night City, other companies are not vegetarians when they unite.

——The closure of the city has a great impact on everyone's business, you know!

In short, due to many reasons, after a few days, Arasaka's blockade of Night City has decreased a lot.

However, every time things take a turn for the better, some bad things will emerge.

For example, someone who spent a lot of money to inquire about intelligence and booked the "Excellence" package of Delaman Taxi for two people, but not only got into trouble afterwards, but was also stood up by someone - Dexter Deshawn, a super-big injustice.

Jack and V escaped Arasaka's search, but they couldn't escape this black fat man.

After all, whether it was to get rid of this matter or to get back the high bounty offered by Arasaka, there were sufficient reasons for him to take action.

Because it was a sudden attack, and the fear of these days made Jack and V consume a lot of energy, which put the two into an extremely unfavorable situation.

Although they finally escaped from the siege, the storage box of Relic, which was regarded as the escape fund by the two in the future, was broken.

In the simple conditions, V could only choose to insert it into the human body and save it - compared to Jack who was dying when he was sent to the hospital, this job could only be done by her.

When he went to seek revenge on Dexter, he happened to meet Takemura who followed the clues but was hunted down and killed by the Arasaka special forces.

Similar circumstances made the two immediately form a temporary alliance.

- In general, after going around in circles, things seemed to be back to what was destined.

"By the way, how is Jack now?"

"He was shot several times and is lying next to Old V. He probably won't wake up for a while... but he is still alive."

But at this time, being alive is the best news.

V sighed. Now she finally understood what it meant to know in advance.

If she hadn't accepted this crappy deal out of greed from the beginning, or quit halfway, then Jack wouldn't have been seriously injured and on the verge of death, and she wouldn't have been quarreling with another person in her head.

Thinking of this, she felt even more sad.

"Lao Wei gave me a simple examination before, but after the examination, his hands were shaking, and the guy named Johnny Silverhand in my mind...k, tell me, what's wrong with me? ?”

Recalling the unprecedented panic that Lao Wei had before, the other party even shouted directly for him to come over to find Lin Qiao without wasting a second.

v has a very bad feeling.

Nausea, dizziness, and even the hallucinations and emotions that appear out of nowhere—all of these must be related to the chip he stole.

"To put it simply, if you don't do anything, it won't take long for Relic to turn you into someone else, the person you were quarreling with before...and this process will be very painful."

"Wait! You mean I'm going to turn into Johnny Silverhand?"

"Almost, but to be precise, he is Johnny Silverhand, who is biologically female, mentally male, and likes women."

【……】

So Johnny also lived in Bengbu.

Chapter 388 Lin Qiao: This is the doctor’s order

"Judging from the parameters I adjusted before, the chip you inserted is engraved with Johnny Silverhand's mark... If you don't understand, just think of it as something like a soul."

"In short, this imprint will cover your original consciousness and modify your genes little by little, so that the new consciousness can take over the body more smoothly..."

I explained the working principle of relic to v, and the latter's face became increasingly pale.

"Are you kidding me?"

"What do you think? Or do you think you can laugh?"

"..."

Staring at Lin Qiao, who was acting rather dull but serious.

v really hopes that the next second he will just say "Yes, I'm just lying to you" like he did before, something so annoying that it won't cost his life.

But after a while, the other party didn’t say that...

So is it true?

It was like a bomb went off in my brain.

Johnny's voice came to his ears again, but V had no intention of quarreling with him.

Pretending to be calm, he looked down at his hands, which were obviously shaking, and then touched the nerve socket at the back of his neck: "K...can you take out that chip?"

She didn't want to die, let alone become another person.

This is simply like cutting off a duck's body bit by bit, then replacing it with a mouse, and finally pointing at the mouse and saying "This is a duck."

Lin Qiao glanced at Goro Takemura next to him calmly and shook his head.

"It's a pity v, I can only tell you that if the relic is removed by violent means, you will die now."

This was the adjustment that Yori Xuan asked Herman to make.

It was also a final safety measure to prevent Saburo Arasaka from taking over his body.

Once inserted, it is extremely difficult to remove.

Otherwise, it will cause irreversible damage to the body. Even if a relic chip is inserted again, there will only be a corpse in front of it.

Although it is not Saburo Arasaka who has been tricked now, but V.

"I've told you before, relic is Arasaka's technology, and only Arasaka knows how to take it out safely."

Speaking Japanese English with a strange accent, Goro Takemura leaned against the wall with his arms folded, looking as expected.

Having been with Saburo Arasaka for so many years, even though he is just a bodyguard, to put it bluntly, he knows much more than some Arasaka executives.

Although he doesn't understand things like relic very well, he does know a little bit about it.

"As long as you can testify and make Yori Xuan, the murderer of his father, plead guilty and punished, then the company can help you remove the chip and let you live."

"Understood, v? This is just an ordinary exchange. You and the company each get what they need."

Although he looked calm and said it was just a trivial matter like going to court to correct a gangster for peeing on the roadside, the two of them knew that it was completely impossible.

After all, even the law can be easily trampled by companies.

Evidence is really dispensable in front of the company.

Even if it is the last straw that breaks the camel's back, if it is pressed alone, it is just a light straw.

At most, it will only slightly change public opinion.

"Be quiet, Goro. I need to think about this again..."

[Think about it, can you trust anything that a company dog ​​says? Maybe this guy just wants to throw you away after using it. 】

He rubbed his temples, as if this could filter out Johnny Silverhand's thoughts.

Becoming an enemy of Arasaka...

This idea is just too scary.

Even if Takemura Goro said that he had some connections in the company and could find a way to contact him to overthrow Yorinobu, it would be the same.

However, Takemura was not anxious about V's ambiguous attitude.

"It's up to you. The relevant planning and deployment will take some time on my side."

"But I remind you, you don't have much time, so it's better to prepare early."

Without staying longer in the clinic, he left after urging Wanv to make a decision as soon as possible.

First of all, as he said he wanted to overthrow the powerful Yori Nobu, he needed time to prepare.

Secondly... he shouldn't be the one who should be anxious.

"K, help me, you have saved me so many times, and I was on the verge of death many times, but you always saved me. If you and Lao Wei both say that I am hopeless, then I don't dare to think about what to do next..."

"Or at least tell me what to do, give me some ideas, I feel like my thoughts are not my own now..."

The tone was full of helplessness and pain.

In the face of death, no one can remain calm, let alone V, a young man in his twenties who is upright and youthful.
