The villain knight doesn't want to be a hero

"You speak so quietly, have you not eaten? You can't hear me."

"no!"

"It's not exciting. You still want to enter Arasaka with such a low voice?"

"No!!!"

In the end, after shouting for more than a dozen times, David's voice was almost hoarse, and even Lucy upstairs couldn't help but come down to see what they were doing, and then Lin Qiao nodded with satisfaction.

Main and Dolio couldn't help but sigh, as expected of a former high-level corporate dog-related person, he was very professional when it came to torturing people.

“Very good, very energetic.”

Hearing Lin Qiao's satisfied words, David, whose throat was dry, breathed a sigh of relief.

only.....

"But unfortunately, in view of the fact that you wasted too much time, disturbed Miss Lucy who was working, and seriously delayed the company's work progress, you will be punished in accordance with the company's regulations. Do you have any objections?"

"It's not you..."

"Ok?"

"No, no....no!!!"

Under Gloria's heartbroken gaze, David raised his hoarse voice with all his strength.

"Very well, then just sit in front of the toilet for an hour."

"T-Toshita seat? The Japanese kneeling posture?"

"Yes."

"No, but this is too..."

"To do it or not to do it? If you don't do it, I will let you go and leave immediately."

"But this is..."

"Again, to do or not to do? I don't want to hear any other answer."

"..."

David swallowed. To say this was acting would be a bit too much.

He knew that he could stop this simulation at any time... Even so, under Lin Qiao's emotionless gaze, it was really difficult to feel any resistance.

And is it really okay to just stop like this?

"enough!"

Just when David's knees could no longer withstand the pressure, Gloria shouted to stop this farce-like performance.

"That's enough..."

Sitting weakly on the sofa, her hands tremblingly grasped her long burgundy hair. Her lowered head made it difficult to see the expression on her face.

"In the end, this is just your performance. As long as David can enter Arasaka..."

"So what if we go in? The real Arasaka will only be more cruel than this."

Lin Qiao ruthlessly shattered Gloria's last illusion.

At the same time, he asked Lucy to get an ice pack for David, whose face was swollen again.

After the latter realized that there was no need to continue acting, he suddenly turned into a grin.

"Even if he graduates from Arasaka Academy but is born at the bottom without any background, it is already destined that he will not be assigned to any important position... The leader of a certain work group is probably the limit."

"Don't try to argue with the so-called excellence. There are more people in the world who want to be dogs for Arasaka than there are real dogs."

"It's just that the so-called 'excellent' doesn't even qualify anyone to take a second look."

“The word fairness has never existed since its inception.”

Not to mention that the unlucky kid David beat up someone in school.

Those who follow the rules cannot rebel against those who enforce them.

Those who enforce the rules must obey those who hold the rules.

And those who control the rules must obey those who make the rules.

Although I don't know which unlucky guy that Katsuo is, no matter what, his family's background is definitely much better than that of David.

——Can make the school change its mind and set up a scholarship to attract David to go back. The family must be extraordinary.

It is estimated that if David really wants to go back to Arasaka Academy, he won't have to wait until graduation to go to work. He will be targeted to death just while attending school.

.....

In the end, Gloria did not object to David's decision to drop out of school...but she also did not agree with cyberpunk.

After all, she deals with corpses every day and really doesn't want to transport her son's body one day.

"Well, thank you this time, doctor..."

Holding an ice pack on his face with one hand, David muttered in his heart, thank you, thank you, but one thing is for sure, that slap really hurt.

"So what about you? Are you really determined to become a cyberpunk?"

"...To be honest, I don't know much myself..."

He lowered his head and clenched the corners of his clothes with both hands.

If it turned out that he had indeed made up his mind, then when he saw his mother crying, he hesitated again.

——But at least the debt owed to Manin and the others must be paid off first.

"It's up to you." Lin Qiao shrugged helplessly.

"But since you have made your own decision, don't regret it, otherwise you will even feel sorry for yourself in the end."

"Also, one final piece of advice to you, don't think about stopping after finishing the last order or anything like that. When you have such thoughts, it's time to stop."

"I also said this to Man Yin... In short, it is not shameful to retreat bravely."

"Hesitation will only lead to defeat."

After pretending to be profound, he dropped a famous saying from Wei Ming, and the door of the clinic was closed.

Chapter 350 The trap laid

Completely different from the messy environment of street bars.

In the luxuriously decorated high-end bar, a soothing symphony is playing, and the solid wood bar with gold edges has been polished to a shine.

The crystal lamps above the head reflect a variety of colors and sparkle, adding a touch of dreamy color to the interior of the bar.

There didn't seem to be many people around - of course. As a high-end place open only to VIPs, there were only a handful of people who could come here.

What's more, rather than simply drinking, people who come here often want to talk about some important matters... This is not something that can be said openly.

"Ah~ it really tastes right. I haven't had such a pure drink in a long time!"

In a private room of the bar, Sasha put down the bottle of wine in his hand with a cheerful expression.

It’s easy to tell from the label above that this is a bottle of vodka.

"If you want to drink, just say something and someone will bring it back for you, right?"

Lucy next to her smacked her tongue. She was raised by Lin Qiao as a good child, but she really couldn't figure out what was so attractive about such spicy things.

"It's different, little Lucy, the atmosphere is different."

"Drinking alone in the room is called boring drinking. Going out with other people is called expressing feelings."

I drank up the remaining vodka in one gulp.

Sasha picked up another bottle of vodka again and seemed to be planning to blow on it.

"Hey, I'm almost suffocated from being locked underground all this time."

"That's because you're wanted by biotechnology...and Miss Sasha, you're not exactly locked up inside, are you?"

In the past few years, Sasha's daily life has been settled in various facilities in Arasaka, and he rarely goes out.

After all, even with Arasaka's protection, it does not mean that biotechnology will suffer this dumb loss.

If you really want to go out and wander around, I'm afraid someone will be far away and take aim with a sniper rifle, and then... poof-collapse!

Therefore, to be on the safe side, it was better to reduce the publicity and avoid the limelight... If I couldn't hold it in any longer, I could only ask Lin Qiao to change her appearance and change it back when she came back.

That is to say, there have been some personnel changes in the biotechnology department in the past two years, and the wanted number of Sasha has dropped a lot. This kind of life under lockdown has barely ended.

At least she can finally go out with her original appearance.

But equally, to this day, Sasha has not let go of the fact that she hid the side effects of painkillers from biotechnology and ultimately killed her mother.

This hatred was just hidden in a deeper corner by her.

"Back to business, what happened to the things we asked the Counterintelligence Department to investigate?"

Just when Sasha was about to pour some vodka into Lucy, Lin Qiao coughed lightly and brought the topic back on track.

The former put down the vodka in his hand with some regret.

"The person who entrusted the task of stealing the navigation data is basically from Military Technology, but there is no news about who was entrusted to do it and what the purpose was."

Sasha crossed her legs and leaned on the sofa behind her, stretched out, and her abrupt body curves were fully highlighted.

"As for you asking for a focused search, that guy who is suspected of having the ability to control his mind... It's a pity that until now, there are no clues."

"I can't find it...it's not a surprise."

After listening to Sasha's words, Lin Qiao thought for a while, but didn't say anything.

After all, it is completely normal for military technology to send someone to cause trouble for Arasaka.

And without any clues, it is equally unrealistic to catch an enemy with mind control and information erasure capabilities.

The only question now is whether the two things are related... This can only be verified slowly.

But the good news is that the other party may not have the ability to read minds - otherwise they would have come to your door long ago.

"Tell the Counterintelligence Department to forget about this for now and focus on the next operations, especially Tanaka's side."

Which intermediary accepts the commission and which mercenary is asked to execute it are all secondary issues.

——To put it bluntly, middlemen are just dogs that lick the company, while mercenaries are just tools that can be used for money.

There is no point in looking for these.

Not to mention, their purpose is almost clear to me.

"But are you so sure that that mysterious guy is from Military Technology?" Sasha asked after a perfunctory response.

"No, on the contrary, I am not sure at all, and I even suspect that military technology does not necessarily know that guy."

"...Then you are going to provoke military technology?"

Lin Qiao spread her hands: "It's just because I'm not sure, that's why I do this."

It is better to prepare for the worst from the beginning than to be tortured by the possibility of swinging one way or the other.

This is also the reason why he would let his avatar mimic Amazon to attack the military technology convoy, but in the end he still left key evidence.

....It's a pity that when he was a ghoul in Tokyo, he blew it up too cleanly with one kick and couldn't save the sample, otherwise he wouldn't have had to do it himself.

But that's off topic.

In short, apart from the necessary misleading information, the other thing is that I want to go fishing.

If the other party gets information about Amazon, the next step must be to find a way to investigate.

Especially after knowing that this thing has something to do with Arasaka.

The simplest and most effective way is to find a high-level executive at Arasaka to interrogate...and this is the effect Lin Qiao wants.

——Anyway, the military technology people have already set their sights on Tanaka, so they might as well let him maximize his value.

As for his personal opinion...if you can, go and sue Saburo Arasaka (laughing).

But apart from that, what concerned him even more was that when Mann and the others came to the clinic last time, they told him that someone was looking for Lucy by name.

This is somewhat concerning.
