The villain knight doesn't want to be a hero

And last time the other party let him go, so he decided to take a gamble... Anyway, he was already walking on thin ice now.

Chapter 386 I still have high hopes for a grown-up like you.

"What are you going to do? People on the board of directors are not that easy to convince."

As one of the very few who knew the truth about his rebellion against Arasaka when he was young, he was at least a small part of them.

The people on the board of directors will never watch him lead Arasaka and other companies to death, just to give the poor people in this world a better life.

"It's very simple, two ways -"

"Either you take on Saburo Arasaka's identity."

"Or, let Saburo Arasaka pass the throne to you directly."

In Lai Xuan's eyes, "Do you want to listen to what you are saying?", Lin Qiao shook her head.

He walked to Saburo Arasaka's body and raised a hand.

Then, a thick puff of smoke instantly enveloped him from the neck up.

When the smoke cleared, he had turned into Yorinobu's face.

Plastic surgery?

But the speed is too fast, just a few breaths can completely change a person's appearance.

Lai Xuan frowned hard, but he probably understood what Lin Qiao meant - if combined with the genetic modification technology of 2077, he could indeed fake it.

But despite this, he did not make a decision immediately.

"What about the second way?"

Lin Qiao didn't say anything, but separated out a ball of genetic material.

The blue gel expanded rapidly, and then mimicked the appearance of Saburo Arasaka.

"Oh, my great son~, do you miss daddy?"

"..."

The familiar voice and the familiar tone are exactly the same as when Saburo Arasaka was still alive...

Do not!

Is it really that he resembles Saburo, rather than that Saburo resembles him?

Looking at the playful smiling face of "Arasaka Saburo", Yorinobu suddenly had a terrible guess...

If that guess comes true, it can at least explain why his father's temperament has changed drastically in a few years, and he also intends to support himself in power.

In the past, this was totally unreasonable...

But now is not the time to pursue this.

Although it's a bit scary when you think about it carefully, at least the credibility of the person in front of you has become much higher - but also more creepy.

At least with this little time of contact, he couldn't figure out the true thoughts of a non-human creature.

"Let me ask, I shouldn't have any room to refuse, right?"

"Of course, although I don't want to use coercion on you, if it is really necessary, then I can only temporarily deprive you of your ability to think for yourself."

really!

Hearing this, Yori Xuan sighed inwardly.

A few years ago, my father was not my father at all.

"So, what do you want to do?"

"Destroying the world... or something is naturally impossible."

Seeing Lai Xuan's frozen expression for a moment, Lin Qiao smiled.

"To put it bluntly, it's love and peace...that's pretty much it."

"I believe you will not refuse me."

He nodded with self-identification.

Although it was clear that he came here to discuss with Yori Xuan, but again, it didn't matter whether Yori Xuan helped or not.

Saburo Arasaka's former shares, top management authority, and nuclear bomb button are all in his hands.

"Anyway, let me cooperate happily for the rest of the time, what a big boy~"

......

Well, although being called son by an unknown creature, there will always be an inexplicable feeling of relief in his heart, which makes Yori Xuan doubt himself a little.

I wonder if I have developed strange mental problems due to excessive stress over the years...

But put aside these trivial matters.

After careful consideration, Lai Xuan finally chose the second method provided by Lin Qiao.

——That is, passing the position.

It's not that he has any objection to pretending to be his father. If he really wants to say it, it's actually for the sake of his next action.

Saburo Arasaka's identity is very convenient.

——Lin Qiao has already experienced this in the few years since she came to this world.

But unfortunately, the shortcoming is also right here.

It's too convenient, but not very convenient.

As mentioned before, Arasaka is a gathering place of militarism under the skin of a company, and Saburo Arasaka is the emperor of this empire.

Therefore, his prestige can be said to be so high that it is outrageous.

To put it bluntly, the stench in public restrooms is overwhelming. If we don’t get rid of this stuff, there will be a steady stream of flies and maggots.

Even if you bring a bottle of perfume in, it can't change the disgusting image and smell of Serenity.

——As long as he doesn't die, even if it's just an AI with his own personality and memory, even if someone in Arasaka has a different intention, they can only hold it in for a long time.

All things considered, it does more harm than good.

Regarding this point, Lin Qiao didn't say much. Anyway, he just knew what he was doing... The rest was up to Lai Xuan himself.

Mimicking himself as Saburo Arasaka, he left a "will" and sent out the notice by the way, handing over his official position as president, and the matter was settled.

Of course, in order to make things smoother, the two decided to create a time difference and change the order of things.

Saburo Arasaka, who forged the idea that his longevity was approaching, passed the throne to Yorinobu urgently before he was poisoned.

Because all decisions were made and implemented within an hour, and the location of the incident was Arasaka's own property, and there were no other witnesses, the maneuverability was very high.

After all, few people would offend the new emperor in order to avenge him after the old emperor died.

——That’s making trouble for yourself.

Not surprisingly.

As soon as the news broke that Saburo Arasaka had died of poisoning, it set the press on fire... around the world.

In this world controlled by corporations, the head of Arasaka, who was the largest in the world, was poisoned. This was much more explosive than the president of a country escaping to death.

It didn't even take a few days for the news to ferment, and all kinds of news had already spread throughout the world that night.

Yori Xuan also bit his own father to death because he was deliberately murdered by other companies...

Coupled with the nuclear explosion incident some time ago, the situation that was originally like a powder keg has become even more heated.

It seems that everything is just the last spark away from the doomsday when nuclear bombs are flying all over the sky...

During this period, another area of ​​focus was military technology.

After all, everyone doesn't know that the boss and second-in-command in Night City are Arasaka and Military Technology, and these two are also in a position where they want each other to explode on the spot.

It can be said that there is sufficient motivation.

Although the latter said that he didn't know anything, and he really didn't do anything this time.

But if nothing else, it has inherited the orthodoxy of the old United States. It is difficult to completely clean up the nuclear explosion at the Arasaka Power Plant.

Two in 1945, and another one exploded in 2023——

In the early days of nuclear peace, you have to have experience in military science and technology. Who among you here can match it?

Precisely because of his own aura of ridicule, Yori Xuan chose military technology as the first target for surgery.

But just when the situation became increasingly tense, V approached Lin Qiao.

"No, k! I'm possessed by an evil spirit!"

"?"

Chapter 387 Back on track

Although she roughly understood what was going on, Lin Qiao still couldn't hold back when she heard what V said.

A strong purple man came to mind.

Although he had never seen it with his own eyes except in the animation, Lin Qiao subconsciously recalled the situation in the chicken-eating qualifiers.

How should I put it, the fight was pretty miserable back then...but now is not the time to reminisce about the past.

In fact, just after making the call, V hurriedly came to Heywood's clinic.

But the person who came with her was not Jack, an old acquaintance, but another old acquaintance.

"Hino Hidetomo?"

“…”

At that moment, obvious veins appeared on Goro Takemura's forehead.

Why are you all like this?

In the past, when Mr. Saburo was still alive, he said it was okay, but why do you, a mercenary and a black doctor, say the same thing! ?

Judging from the way his lips trembled slightly, you knew that he was not in a good mood at the moment.

But no one cares.

V was lying on the operating chair, with a data cable connected from her nerve interface to the computer.

Lin Qiao sat next to her and pulled her eyelids with her hands to conduct a symbolic inspection.

"How are you now? Do you still feel any discomfort?"

"...I'm fine now, but I was dizzy before, as if I could see something, and I was also very nauseous..."

Answering Lin Qiao's question, there was a hint of weakness in her voice.

But at this moment, a sarcastic voice appeared in her mind out of thin air.

[Oh, isn’t that nonsense?It would make me sick if I were lying there and being manipulated by other men. 】

"Shut up, Johnny!"

[Yo yo yo, you’re too impatient to talk about it, you’re not enjoying it, are you? 】

"You get out!"

V's tone became irritable, and in the eyes of outsiders, it was like she was losing her temper in the air.

Lin Qiao rolled her eyes and didn't express anything about it.

I just picked up the pen unhurriedly and wrote a few words in the medical record.

"I didn't expect that something like that happened to the Chambi Building, and you and Jack actually stayed in Night City."

It's not that Lin Qiao was pretending to say this, but he really didn't expect it.

Now people in both the black and white circles are going crazy looking for the murderer of Saburo Arasaka, and the situation is getting more and more intense...

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

only--
