The villain knight doesn't want to be a hero

As Saburo Arasaka returned to the stage, his daughter Hanako Arasaka, who was originally responsible for helping him handle affairs and existed as his agent, became less important.

After all, Hanako Arasaka's rights all come from Saburo Arasaka, and when the latter doesn't need her, her situation can be imagined.

Overall, this series of changes always gave Arasaka Yorinobu a bad feeling.

He knew that Saburo Arasaka's purpose in studying relic was to extract consciousness so as to extend his own life - and as his own son, he could be said to be the best container.

That demon has been coveting my body!

Arasaka Yorinobu has always known this.

But just as he said before, the entire Relic project was abandoned in the blink of an eye, leaving only the commercial value of an advertising slogan on the market.

The reason is a bit scary when you think about it.

Putting aside the possibility that the militaristic lunatic suddenly changed his mind about life and death, this was completely impossible to happen.

The only explanation is that there is no need to study it anymore, it is enough now... or he no longer needs relic at all.

These two items can be said to be worse than the other.

What made Arasaka Yorinobu shudder even more was the change in his father's body - the traces of the prosthetic transformation had completely disappeared, and he had even turned into his original body.

This kind of thing is impossible!

Despite the advanced medical technology, it is a piece of cake to put a broken arm back together, but it can only be done shortly after it fell.

It would be outrageous to achieve complete regeneration of the body!

but--

This actually happened.

And after the other party saw him, he actually greeted him kindly... This is even more fucking terrifying!

"Night City...what happened there...?"

Staying alone in the room, I scratched my hair hard.

Night City——

This was the only clue he could find after Saburo Arasaka relaxed his surveillance on him.

It was precisely after returning from there that the other party's behavior changed so much.

"I have no choice... I have to take a gamble!"

He gritted his teeth and made the final decision.

Even though he doesn't know the specific situation, and the situation seems to be developing in a direction that is favorable to him, just sitting back and waiting for death is definitely not a good path!

At least if his father really gained immortality, then the entire human race would be plunged into darkness.

So even if it costs your own life, you have to stop him!

To do this, he first needs to find someone.

[Hey, Herman, is it convenient for you to talk now? 】

【Lai, Lai Xuan?What's the matter with you? 】

[To save time, I won’t talk nonsense. I can help you with your decision to go to Kangtao. As for the rest, it’s up to you. 】

【! 】

Arasaka Yorinobu's words made Herman on the other side of the phone obviously stunned for a moment.

Although it was true that he came to Yorinobu at first, hoping that the other party could help him in the name of disgusting Arasaka Company, he was directly rejected by Yorinobu at that time.

Now the other party takes the initiative to say that he is helping...

[So, what are the conditions? 】

[The latest model of relic chip, the one with Johnny Silverhand in it, take it to Night City, California, USA, and give it to me...]

【The latest chip! ?Are you crazy?If I give this to you, they'll kill me! 】

[It's up to you whether I give it or not. Anyway, if this continues, Saburo will kill you sooner or later. If you give it a try, you still have a chance to survive... These are my conditions. You can choose for yourself. 】

【....Then what excuse should I use to go to Night City?You don't know how many bodyguards I have around me now to monitor me, right? 】

[This is your problem. Don't tell me that you can't even do this kind of thing now. If that's the case, then just fend for yourself. 】

Being too forceful to give Herman any room for bargaining, Arasaka immediately hung up the phone.

In this regard, he did inherit Arasaka Saburo.

Chapter 364 So what are you doing here?

He took a deep breath and leaned on the seat behind him.

"I hope my choice is the right one."

A chip containing the imprint of Johnny Silverhand... Frankly, this is the worst possible choice in the worst possible situation.

The other party's spirit and courage in resisting Arasaka and corporate colonialism are indeed worthy of praise.

But on the other hand, it’s hard to evaluate how I am.

To put it bluntly, Johnny is just a rock kid after all, so don’t count on him culturally.

But he has one thing that many people in this era do not have - that is, the determination to resist the company to the end.

That's enough.

If the situation really gets to the worst, he will give up his body to resurrect the other person.

And this can also cut off Arasaka Saburo's plan to borrow his body to be reborn.

To a certain extent, it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

He lay on his seat to relax for a while, then stood up and walked out the door to find his assistant.

This is one of the few people in Arasaka that he can trust a little bit...but really only a little bit.

"Find me a plane to Night City. I'm going there next week to relax."

"Yes, Master Lai Xuan."

Without asking why, watching Arasaka Yorinobu leave and finally disappear, the secretary dialed another number after making several phone calls to arrange a flight.

"....Lord Yori Xuan just said that he is going to Night City next week."

"Yes, that's what he said... Let's report it to Master Saburo as usual."

After fully reporting to her nominal boss, the beautiful assistant hung up the phone, pretended to be nonchalant, and sent someone to pack her luggage.

But what she didn't know was that after leaving, Yorinobu Arasaka ran straight to the airport and boarded his private jet.

......

It's also in Night City on the other side.

At the same time that Saburo Arasaka got the news, Lin Qiao, who possessed his body with genetic factors, naturally also learned that Yorinobu Arasaka was coming to Night City.

Even though I understand him based on Arasaka Saburo's memory, I personally feel that Arasaka Yorinobu should play some small tricks, but it is just a trivial matter after all.

To be fair, Lin Qiao really couldn't understand his thoughts... You really don't know how dangerous this place is, right?

Obviously under his control, Saburo Arasaka has relaxed his supervision of Yorinobu Arasaka and given him enough freedom to act. Even the attitude between father and son in daily interactions has become much friendlier.

Even Lin Qiao had made a plan. When he was about to leave this world, he would directly kick Hanako away, and then control Saburo Arasaka's body to make a will or something, and directly pass it on to him... But you come to the night What are you doing in the city?

When gods fight, prisoners suffer.

Unfortunately, Arasaka Yorinobu is this mortal.

Not to mention anything else, there are hundreds of nuclear warheads ready to be launched at any time, meteorite shells from the mass accelerator on the moon, as well as other military bases and super aircraft carrier formations...

These are all aimed at Night City, okay!

"My dear son, why are you so disobedient?"

Lin Qiao had a little headache about this.

What are you doing here?

It’s impossible to come all the way here just for Evelyn Parker’s shot, right?

You are already eighty or ninety years old.

V walked into the clinic and glanced at him one more time, murmuring in his heart. He didn't hear any news that he and Lucy had a child.

Isn't it possible that this guy caused injustice outside?

Lin Qiao, who could tell what she was thinking, shook her head: "How is it, v? How does your new home feel?"

"It's okay, but moving is a bit tiring. If you and Jack don't come to help, I will be exhausted...and the rent in Heywood is actually so much more expensive than in Watson."

Speaking of this, she seemed to be a little more resentful.

It had been quite some time since she and Jack had formed a golden partnership.

The "a lot of money" brought back by the two was also given to Westbrook's middleman Okada Wakako.

Although it was inevitable that the price would be severely reduced in the end, which made Jack a little unhappy.

But fortunately, Okada Wakako, as a professional intermediary, also knows enough is enough, so she doesn't press too hard.

With the money from selling lizards, and with Jack, a local veteran, as a guide, V, as an outsider, quickly established a foothold in Night City.

Her innate and honed skills have made her somewhat famous in the mercenary circle.

This is why she was able to move out of that hellish place in Watson District so quickly.

As for the house, Jack helped find it. As a veteran of Heywood, he was very familiar with this place.

"Speaking of which, I remember the guy named David. His former boss also opened a weapons store near Heywood, right?"

"Man Yin and the others are... almost there, but they are a bit far away from me. They are almost in Lijing District near Westbrook."

Lin Qiao said while pretending to remember.

After being captured and returned to Arasaka, Sasha, or Lin Qiao, gave them two choices for the sake of being acquaintances in the past.

The first is to join Arasaka and live a working life with five insurances and one housing fund from now on.

The second is to let them go and give them some freedom.

Judging from the results, a group of people who really didn't like the company naturally chose to leave... Of course, it was not without cost.

Erasing memory is one thing, but it also signed a series of unequal treaties.

This also includes opening a weapons store that specializes in selling Arasaka brands.

Now that the conflict between the Sixth Street Gang and the Valentino Gang is becoming more and more intense, it is quite profitable to open a weapons store with genuine Arasaka authorization.

——At least that’s how it looks on the surface.

If you really want to say it, it is actually an information station in Arasaka, and it is also the bait for fishing.

At least if another time traveler wants to figure out how his two vampires lost contact and what happened that night, then there is a high probability that he will find Man Yin and the others who are involved... ...

However, Man Yin and the others definitely don’t know about the above.

They thought they were just opening an ordinary weapons store, and at most they had to hand over their profits to the hard-working workers in Arasaka every month.

They didn't know that they were being watched, and Lin Qiao wouldn't let them know.

And not everyone works in a weapons shop.

David, who has been retained in Si'an Westan, Qiwei, whose hacker components have not been removed, as well as driver Falco and Rebecca, who has little need for prosthetics, are still working as mercenaries.

They had collaborated with V and Jack not long ago, and after going back and forth, the two groups of people got to know each other.

[....It is reported that all the residents of a remote town in Ohio froze to death overnight. There are rumors that this is military technology testing new weapons on the locals, causing strong dissatisfaction]

[New America and Military Technology have launched a joint investigation into this and confirmed it to be a rumor. 】

[The reason for this phenomenon is due to extreme abnormal weather in some areas of Ohio. Residents are advised to take precautions against the cold. 】

[The following invites famous climatologists...]

"Hey, military technology... the company will definitely use this set of rhetoric to clean up the ground."

That is, when Lin Qiao was still thinking about how to deal with Lai Xuan's problem, the news on TV made V snort, and then simply turned off the TV.
