The villain knight doesn't want to be a hero

"..."

Now, Johnny finally understood a truth.

Sometimes, dogs may not really be the same species.

"....Okay, then I'll ask you to change my body!"

As the saying goes, if you are in a cannon, you have to bow your head!

The internal pronunciation components pop out almost word for word.

He wasn't afraid of physical torture. Anyway, judging from the current situation, his body was most likely already cold.

But this kind of mental torture is very uncomfortable.

"This...sorry, it's not ready yet."

Lin Qiao directly spread her hands, expressing her helplessness.

"..."

Click click click click!

This time, there were no c-languages ​​that were extremely pregnant. The big steel cannon in front of me started making piston movements again, as if it wanted to express its dissatisfaction.

And in the back and forth vibrations, it was indeed slowly approaching someone.

"Innocent."

Lin Qiao shook her head helplessly, and clicked on the flat plate beside her.

"!"

Johnny's movements stopped forcibly the next second.

For a moment, Johnny felt that he was also thinking about finding Rogge or something, so he might as well just die - at least then he wouldn't have to face the guy in front of him again.

At this moment, the laboratory door opened.

V walked out wearing surgical clothes.

"How does it feel?"

"It's not bad, I feel a lot more relaxed, and I don't have nausea or hallucinations anymore."

After the life and death crisis was gone, V's condition had improved a lot visibly.

An additional mention, because in addition to personality replacement, relic modification also involves the genetic level.

Therefore, Lin Qiao had no way to directly save her with a medical bottle. She could only use nebula gas to change her genes back to a normal person, and then the chip could be removed.

Otherwise, like the original plot, your body will reject you.

"But where did Johnny go? Didn't you say you made him a new body? Just let me take a look. I just heard him making a lot of noise inside."

"Well, let's keep this as a reserved item for now...or someone can do it if he or she wants to."

"?"

No, what do you mean?

Under V's puzzled gaze, Lin Qiao clicked her tongue twice, raised a finger, and flicked Johnny's head, who was pretending to be dead.

Ding--

With a crisp sound, the big silver steel cannon spun twice on the table before slowly stopping.

After all, he was giving the last bit of face to some rock kid.

"Let's go. Now that you're fine, it's time to meet Yori Nobu."

He stood up from the office chair and threw the big steel cannon containing Johnny's consciousness to the overwhelmed V.

"Also, grab your mission items, they are his old treasures."

“…”

He looked down at the big steel cannon in his hand that could reach his stomach in one step.

For a moment, V's expression became a little strange.

"Take this thing to see... Yori Xuan? Are you serious?"

"Trust me, he'll love it."

Although I like the consciousness of Johnny Silverhand in it, there is no need to explain some things too clearly.

Anyway, he is not the unlucky person.

.....

After dismissing V, who was full of question marks, he sat in Abernathy's office for a while and played with the Rubik's Cube. The door opened to both sides again.

Two white and one black figures stood there.

Sasha, Lucy and...Ciri.

"Ready?"

He looked past the other two people and looked directly at Ciri who was standing at the back.

The latter looked ready to go, with the build driver and Soar Swift robot hanging on his waist.

Although he looked a little hesitant, he still nodded resolutely.

Chapter 392 So he panicked

On the outskirts of Tokyo, there is a Japanese-style manor under the name of Arasaka.

In an area of ​​Tokyo where land prices are extremely expensive, the price of this manor covering an area of ​​about 20 acres is incalculable.

This is not only a symbol of wealth, but also a symbol of the Arasaka family's status.

Looking around, there is no building with more than five floors within several kilometers around this manor.

People who come here for the first time often think that they have traveled back in time to the Edo period. The lights that light up under the night sky make this place a sleepless city that is as good as any tourist attraction.

But hidden under the stone bricks and green tiles is a complete set of high-speed optical cables and a complete set of defense turrets.

Even if a missile attacks, it will be shot down several kilometers away.

Strictly speaking, it is inappropriate to call this a manor. To be more precise, it should be called a palace.

The princess of the Arasaka family, the palace of Hanako Arasaka...

Of course, that was before.

Now, as Hanako Arasaka has fallen out of favor in the eyes of Saburo Arasaka in recent years, it may be more appropriate to call it a super-large cage where he is imprisoned.

However, during this period, a secret visitor arrived in this heavily guarded palace.

"How do you think about my proposal, Miss Hanako?"

Marshall looked like an old god, sitting on the sofa opposite Hua Zi with his legs crossed.

As an outsider, his mere presence here should have set off an alarm.

However, after Saburo Arasaka died and Yorinobu took over, there was a brief but not intense chaos within Arasaka. Not all of the guards in the manor, but most of them, had been replaced by Hanako's cronies.

They may not be loyal to themselves, but they will certainly not be loyal to their good brother Yori Xuan.

Hanako Arasaka glanced at the goblet of some red liquid that was constantly shaking in his hand.

As a vampire, the thing inside cannot be red wine...

Although what is really shocking is that such legendary things as vampires actually exist in reality.

But now is not the time to talk about this.

"You said my brother killed my father, is there any evidence?"

"No...but the fact that you agreed to meet me speaks for itself, doesn't it?"

Well, it's true.

After all, she had known about her brother's dislike of her father for decades, and there were even many conflicts that she had to adjust on her own.

And to say that Yori Xuan killed Saburo...

It was a shock, but it didn't seem to be anything particularly strange.

"So you want me to bring my brother to justice, and you can take advantage of the internal fighting in Arasaka to do something shameful?"

"I can't say that, at least I think it's a win-win result."

Drink all the blood in the goblet.

Although he himself has the charming ability to control human thoughts, the humans who can be controlled will be like puppets, and their language and behavior will become very stiff.

So it would be great if the other party can volunteer.

"Although it is undeniable that Arasaka's internal fighting will cause Arasaka's strength to decline in a short period of time, but compared to this, at least for you personally, you can rise from a mascot that is still played around to the actual controller of Arasaka."

"And I have said before that I will give Arasaka the method of making artificial vampires and give you a true immortal life."

"If you are still dissatisfied with this, it is okay for me to give you my first hug myself - provided you are still a virgin."

The moment she heard the words "immortality", Hanako Arasaka's heart trembled involuntarily.

I have to admit that such conditions are indeed very exciting. What my father has been pursuing for his whole life is now actually in front of him.

Compared with the shortcomings of being able to only suck blood and not being able to see the sun in the future, immortality itself is a huge temptation - it would be better to say that just paying such a price would be too cost-effective.

Besides, turning into a vampire or something is much more reliable than a relic or something.

After all, the latter can only be said to be a super AI with its own memory and personality.

Not to mention that with the technology to create vampires, the losses caused by internal fighting can be made up for in other ways.

And she can indeed, as the other party said, seize this opportunity and become the controller of Arasaka forever.

Power, longevity...

The most attractive material in the world is right in front of you.

"What about you? What can you gain by paying so much?"

this is the key of the problem.

Hanako Arasaka couldn't believe that the vampire in front of him had paid so much, and even traded the secret technology of biotechnology, and all he wanted was to enjoy a good show of fratricide.

If you pay, you will definitely gain something.

Marshall grinned at that.

"In this regard, I do not deny that there are other purposes, but they have nothing to do with you."

"Strictly speaking, you can understand it as a personal grudge between me and certain people."

Since the last time the power plant on the outskirts of Night City was bombed by a nuclear bomb, Marshall has understood that his opponent has a deeper grasp of Arasaka than he expected.

Although with the blessing of tens of thousands of resurrection coins and the direct-death eyes, he is not weak to the opponent, but it is still a good choice to weaken the opponent's power.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, he decided to split Arasaka - and the person he chose was Hanako Arasaka.

As for handing over the technology of artificial vampires, whether there will be any objections from the biotechnology side...that's none of his business.

Anyway, as long as he seizes the ancient blood, he can leave this world and wander around. Who will care about the thoughts of the local indigenous people?

"Then, give me your choice, Miss Hanako."

He stretched out a hand and extended an invitation to Hanako Arasaka, who was still thinking about something.

After a brief silence, the latter nodded in agreement.

At least she had no reason to refuse.

Not to mention the conditions proposed by Marshall, just because the other party can enter and exit her residence at will, she needs to consider the consequences of rejecting the other party.

But in any case, Marshall's goal has been achieved.

Because of this, he smiled particularly happily, revealing two long and sharp canine teeth at the corners of his grinned mouth.

"Very well, then let us..."
