The villain knight doesn't want to be a hero

Just when Arasaka's commandos were about to head straight for the black box in the crater, a few bullets suddenly knocked them down.

A black car appeared next to the black box one step ahead.

After appearing, the person above immediately got out of the car and directly took away the black box on the ground with a tool similar to a large clamp.

Then he walked away without looking back.

But before disappearing, the logo on the black car body was extremely dazzling among the Arasaka senior executives.

——"Militech"

"CNMD! Military technology!"

He was about to succeed, but at the last moment he was picked off by his old rival.

In the conference room of Arasaka Tower, the blood pressure of a group of people rose instantly!

However, even if they wanted to send people to chase them, there was no one available at the scene as their overall combat power was held back by the attackers.

The only thing I can get my hands on is a few drones...

It's okay to hit someone, but it's hard to say take a taxi.

"Then send it out too! If it can't be beaten, smash it for me!"

Looking at the black car that kicked up a puff of smoke from the rear, their eyes were bloodshot and veins popped out on their foreheads.

Even if it is because of the effect of controlling their emotions with a dog-licking attitude, this is also their true feelings at the moment.

——This is also the result Lin Qiao wants.

The plan went well.

Chapter 323 There will always be someone who stands out

The thrilling chase... didn't happen.

After all, the heavily armed troops sent out were completely held back by the attackers, and even if they wanted to send out new commandos, the time it would take would be enough for the military technology people to run to a safe location.

At this point, many of Arasaka's senior executives wanted to curse.

——They are obviously stealing boxes, why don’t you stop those bastards from Military Technology?

There are many people bullying us in Arasaka, right?

In short, even though all the drones were dispatched, they were shot down as expected.

And when an observation drone subsequently became unresponsive, the hearts of Arasaka's senior executives also hit rock bottom.

Things took a turn for the worst——

They couldn't imagine what kind of things military technology would do if they mastered the power of that box... Although they would do such a thing in other situations.

But unfortunately, it is not them who have the initiative now.

It shouldn't be like this!Military technology, you come here to steal things from other people's homes, you bastard!Give me the box back!

He let out a roar like that of a Kalekarian star.

But that was when Arasaka planned to take advantage of the fact that military technology had not mastered the secrets of the box, and took the first step to snatch the things back.

The black box that they had been thinking about automatically returned to Arasaka's arms half an hour later.

It’s not a plot about spiritual beings choosing their masters that even thinking about it like this would be problematic.

To be precise, he was sent back.

"Sasha Yakovleva, 22 years old, is a mercenary and cyber hacker by profession. She is also the culprit who caused the explosion in the biotechnology office building a few days ago and leaked a large number of confidential documents to News 54... .”

Also in the conference room of Arasaka Tower.

A member of the Counterintelligence Department was introducing information about Sasha to senior executives.

Including its attack on biotechnology, and the process and reasons for leaking data files to News 54... But the people sitting here don't care about this.

On the contrary, I can write down the biotechnology secrets, maybe they can be used in the future.

"Is she the one who sent the black box back?"

"Yes, as for the reason, it is because News 54 concealed the side effects of biotechnology products."

"News 54? Oh, you really deserve it, military technology."

Regarding this, everyone present could not help but laugh.

After all, the relationship between News 54 and military technology is well known.

——It’s okay now, retribution has come.

According to Sasha's own description, she was planning to escape Night City at that time, but by chance, she happened to run into a military-tech car...

As a result, I couldn't hold it back.

Angry, he directly used his hacking ability to kill everyone inside.

"But what happened to her body? Why are there no traces of prosthetic transformation?"

At this time, one of them noticed something strange about Sasha.

Sasha in the hologram... is so clean.

——The cleanliness mentioned here refers to the degree of physical transformation.

Although network hackers are not like other mercenaries who fight head-on, they would like to be equipped with combat prosthetics all over their bodies.

But the demand for prosthetics is not low either.

Basic things like scanning prosthetic eyes, neural access ports, and hand personal data lines are still needed.

So no matter what, it's impossible to be like Sasha, with not even the slightest trace of prosthetic implants all over his body.

It's impossible to use your mind to hack the Internet, right?

"Yes, according to our speculation, this may be the result of her touching the black box."

The member of the counter-intelligence department who was making the report changed the screen displayed on the holographic projection.

That's a bunch of perfectly removed prosthetics.

Combining the previous information, it is not difficult to deduce that the moment Sasha touched the black box, the black box directly repaired her body after being transformed by the prosthetic body.

"The black box still has this ability? Doesn't it turn people it touches into metal monsters?"

Fujioka Kaoru said quite "shocked".

There is no trace of it. In fact, it was someone who took it apart by himself, and in the process, the person involved was used as a teaching tool, thus leaving a psychological shadow on the white-haired lolita.

"We are still experimenting on this, but for now, the black box has shown a variety of abilities, and healing the body is only one of them."

"The most peculiar thing is that there will be some kind of bottle-like object in the slot on the black box."

"When the black box comes close to the converted metal monster, these bottles will automatically absorb it."

The holographic projection then showed a scene of a blank bottle absorbing the attacker, which made everyone marvel.

This behavior of absorbing people as nourishment...is truly a creation of alien civilization.

Hurry up and get some more.

"Moreover, the black box will also emit a special electromagnetic wave, which will completely disable communications within a certain range - this is probably the reason why the NC-E01 base was unable to issue an alarm before."

"Electromagnetic waves?"

And when it came to this, someone seemed to realize something.

"In other words, Military Technology may not have received information about the black box?"

"We can't be sure, but we investigated the communication information of the people on the vehicle and found no record of reporting to military technology, so the possibility is very high."

That would be great!

Arasaka's senior executives couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

Although they obtained the black box, their research has only just begun. Let alone utilizing its power, they don't even have a clue right now.

It would be great to be able to make a fortune quietly right now.

Although what they didn't know was that the people from Military Technology were actually arranged by Lin Qiao in advance, but they just faked the scene a little.

The reason is to act in this drama...but it is better to hide the truth until the end.

At least through Fujioka Kaoru's perspective, when seeing a group of old people who are clearly in their sixties or seventies, but who are as young as less than 30 years old because of anti-aging drugs, with smiles that are comparable to children, Lin Qiao also sincerely feels for them. Happy.

Well, let's take it that way.

"By the way, how is that cyber hacker doing now?"

"Yes, we have temporarily placed her in the reception room and arranged a team of soldiers to accompany her for 'protection'."

In fact, it is surveillance.

"So what's her request? She would consciously hand this thing over to Arasaka. It can't be because she has no desires or desires, right?"

"about this point....."

The member of the counter-intelligence department first looked at the faces of the bosses around him, and then continued: "She has two needs. One is that she hopes to obtain company immunity..."

"impossible!"

Before he could finish speaking, someone already flatly refused.

Chapter 324: Go find that adult quickly

"Give the company's immunity to a mercenary? Are you kidding? Those wild dogs are not worth the company's expense."

The person who spoke out against this was Tanaka, Arasaka's top product manager in Night City.

The fattened body is also a relatively conspicuous presence among the crowd.

As he spoke, some people next to him nodded in agreement.

Everyone present had not entered the company for the first time, and they knew what the company's immunity meant.

To put it nicely, it is the company's protection of people outside the system.

To put it bluntly, you want to get benefits even if you offend another company.

So the question is: Does Sasha have that value?

If the black box was still in her hands, then of course she had it... But the black box had already been handed over to Arasaka.

This means that even if Arasaka falls out and doesn't know anyone, it doesn't matter if he does something to her on the spot.

— although they already do.

"That's true, and there's no need for us to offend biotechnology." Another person agreed.

If it's a small or medium-sized company, forget it.

But it is not worth it no matter how you think about offending a super company like Biotechnology for the sake of a mercenary that has lost its use value.

"Then what? What's the other request?"

"Yes, she said that if the company cannot be granted immunity, please let her join Arasaka."

This requirement...

Tanaka and the person who objected just now frowned.

Although the statement is better than the requirement for corporate immunity, the essence is similar.

"So, what to do with that mercenary?"

"Just give her some money and send her away..."

"Stop saying stupid things and let them go. What if the black box is leaked?"

"How about handing it over to biotechnology? We will be discussing cooperation with them next month. With this woman, we should be able to stake the price."

"Then it would be better to send her to the laboratory. She happens to be one of the few people who has been exposed to the black box and has had benign changes."

Looking at you, I said a word, discussing Sasha's belonging to the Arasaka senior management.

In their eyes, it seems that it is not a living person, but a commodity.
