The villain knight doesn't want to be a hero

"This means that instead of offending the other party to death for so-called justice, it is better to use these black materials to achieve the facts that are beneficial to oneself."

And that’s what military technology is doing.

Pulled out a tablet.Leave it to Sasha, who has lost his hacking ability: "If you don't believe it, you can go up and check it yourself."

“…”

She took the tablet handed over by Lin Qiao with some trembling.

His fingers clicked on it a few times...and then his face became increasingly ugly.

[Congratulations to military technology and biotechnology for reaching close cooperation in multiple fields....]

Such a title seemed extremely irritating to Sasha.

The person who wrote this report was also a reporter from News 54.

As for the release time, it is this morning.

This is the company. It has already controlled every aspect of people's lives. Even if someone comes up with evidence against it, it only has the final say in its own hands.

Chapter 319 The choice left to Sasha

"..."

Frustrated, he put down the tablet in his hand.

Sasha had an expression on her face that didn't know whether she should be crying or laughing.

The resistance that he thought would burn his life would end up not causing even a splash.

Big companies still do whatever they want, they just make a little less money and have not restrained themselves because of this.

The truth obtained through all the efforts did not pierce the darkness and bring dawn to the city, but instead made the neon lights of military technology more dazzling.

Knowing that everything she had done had become someone else's wedding dress, Sasha took a few deep breaths and managed to calm down.

"...Main...how are they?"

As if she was worried about hearing some bad news from Lin Qiao, her tone became a little hesitant.

"Fortunately, at least there shouldn't be any problems in a short time."

But the subtext of this sentence is that it may not necessarily change over time...

But luckily I didn't hear the worst news.

But this is not really good news.

'It was my fault. '

Sasha leaned against the bed with some frustration. The shirt on her body couldn't cover her figure at all... and even the looming figure made it even more attractive.

After scratching his hair irritably, he sighed.

Offending the Corporation in Night City will not end well.

Maybe she should have listened to Mainin's advice at that time, or simply stayed upstairs instead of fighting for a chance of survival...

Although I was ready to fly into a flame and die as a martyr, after I survived, I suddenly looked back and realized that everything I had done was an illusion and that I had dragged my companions into the water. All that was left was Guilt and remorse.

I kind of don't know how to face them.

"If... I had died there, maybe the situation would have been much better..."

After a long silence, Sasha let out a frustrated sigh.

"Indeed, if that's the case, Man Yin and the others just need to find a way to distance themselves from your relationship, instead of being implicated like they are now."

Lin Qiao affirmed Sasha's statement, and then looked at her playfully.

"But it's a pity that you neither died from the gunfire of the biotechnology security robot, nor died from the explosion and falling impact, but you survived."

"How was it? Are you disappointed?"

Hearing this, the former felt even more sad.

When I was a child, I could only watch my mother die of torture; when I grew up, I finally found out the truth but couldn't do anything, and even now I still hurt others.

She is really useless...

"What about you? After you spent so much effort to save me, what do you want to do?"

"Me? What I want to do has been done a long time ago, and now I'm just a mere spectator."

Whether it is advanced mimicry of genetic factors, false memory implantation experiments, or slight thought manipulation experiments, these have all been completed long ago.

Although the results were mixed, the overall outcome was on the good side - and he also eliminated the impact on Sasha.

"It's you, what do you want to do?"

"..."

Facing Sasha, who bowed his head and remained silent, Lin Qiao smiled.

He took out a gun and a bottle of pills from behind and placed them on the bedside table next to Sasha.

"It's easy to die. A bullet or a poison wrapped in sleeping pills can make you leave this world without any pain."

"After that, I will hand over your body to biotechnology... Of course, whether they will give up hunting Manin for this is none of my business."

"And for the sake of technical confidentiality, I will also restore your body to the way it was before treatment."

These words made Sasha's body stiffen, and Lin Qiao seemed to have seen through her thoughts.

She did have similar thoughts.

But when this idea was mercilessly picked out, Sasha felt as if someone had poured cold water on her. As her whole body went cold, the fire burning in her heart was extinguished and she calmed down.

Will biotechnology let Main and the others go?

As long as it can be explained clearly who bombed the factory in Santo Domingo, that's fine.

——Well, actually, no.

"It seems that you also know that seeking death will not solve the problem, so please take back such ridiculous expressions and thoughts."

Just like the expression on someone else's face after they came to their senses after seeing others being stupid, Lin Qiao showed a sigh of relief.

"....You went out of your way to save me and then came to me to say these things. You must not have just come to see me laugh, right?"

Sasha showed a somewhat complicated expression.

Even if you think about it carefully, the other party should be trying to persuade you to give up the idea of ​​​​suicide, but the method used...

It can only be said that it is not so lovable.

"It's not true, but that doesn't stop me from laughing at you."

“…”

Then Sasha's expression became more complicated.

"What I can help you with now is also what you can choose. There are only two ways -"

Ignoring Sasha's complicated psychological changes, Lin Qiao raised two fingers.

"First, I will put all your prosthetics back together and then let you go."

"As for whether you go to find Man Yin or the others, leave Night City, or do anything else, it's all your own freedom."

But naturally, out of confidentiality of his abilities, before letting Sasha leave, he would also erase the other party's related memories.

"anything else?"

Sasha didn't answer immediately - based on her past experience as a mercenary, in situations like this where you have to choose one or more, the one that comes up at the end is often the most valuable.

Of course, it also comes with the greatest risks.

"Second, I need you to do something for me, and in exchange, I can help you get corporate immunity from being hunted down by biotechnology."

"What do you need me to do?"

"Don't worry, I'm definitely not asking you to put on a miniskirt and cat-eared maid outfit to become a maid. But if you have this hobby, it's not impossible..."

"No!" He covered his chest with his hands to express his stern refusal.

"Okay, okay, no, no, why are you shouting so loudly?" Lin Qiao curled her lips while facing the gazes of the two women in the room.

"I need you to go inside Arasaka and help me monitor something and the people who may pay attention to it..."

"Impossible." Before Lin Qiao could finish speaking, Sasha refused.

No, this can’t be said to be rejection, it’s just that I really can’t do it.

Not to mention that she is currently wanted by biotechnology, and she is in a state where people will come to her door if she shows her face.

Even without all of this, it would be impossible to do all of this.

Unlike file theft or destroying and obliterating a target.

Surveillance——

Just by listening, you can tell that it takes a long time to complete the task.

It would be fine if it were an ordinary person, but the problem is that Lin Qiao chose Arasaka as the target...

This thing is no less outrageous than a drug dealer entering the Drug Enforcement Bureau to monitor the movements of the police - if you want me to die, just tell me, don't make such nonsense!

"Calm down, I didn't say I would let you go to Arasaka like this."

After comforting Sasha, Lin Qiao said calmly.

"Members of the Arasaka Special Operations Group have the privilege of acting independently, and their weight is still higher than that of the Arasaka Counterintelligence Department in Night City... What do you think of this identity? By the way, this is not a disguise, it can be used once The kind that can’t be used, but are there for the long term.”

"You are joking?"

Sasha immediately thought that she should call the mental hospital and contact someone for a bed.

But I’ve never heard of cyberpsychosis having this symptom?

"Don't worry so much, just say whether you agree or not."

“…”

Looking at Lin Qiao's confident and playful expression, Sasha was silent for a while.

If this thing is false, then of course it goes without saying that Lin Qiao is suffering from hysteria, but what if it is true...

At least she had no reason to refuse.

"What do I need to do now?"

"Wait."

"Wait? Wait for what?"

"When I arrange the prerequisites, I will also wait for people to come to Night City."

Chapter 320 The Good Show Begins

The next day

boom--!

The sun has not yet risen, and as a flash of light streaks across the sky in the early morning and finally falls on the ground, the entire Arasaka enters a state of emergency.

Di-di-di-!

A piercing siren sounded at Arasaka Tower.

【notify!All combat readiness personnel gather urgently!Senior managers rushed to conference room 42-01 immediately! 】

[Attached is the general staff, please return to your work stations immediately and work normally. 】

Rank-and-file employees in the hallway looked horrified.

Arasaka soldiers wearing red and black uniforms quickly passed by them.

Also running in the corridor in a hurry were people belonging to the Counter-Intelligence Department.

Although they all bowed their heads and remained silent, judging from the luster of their prosthetic eyes, they were all in contact with someone or someone.

"Are you kidding? NC-E01 base hasn't been contacted yet!?"
