From ship girl to machine god

"Little girl, if you have anything to say, just say it. I was one of the people who went to blow up Arasaka Tower with Johnny. Do you think I know that?" Rogge didn't wonder why Bluebird would ask such a question. It also means that Bluebird does know a lot of things.

For Rogge, what has she not seen or experienced in most of her life?

The only thing I might not be able to let go of is the incident more than 50 years ago and the death of Johnny Silverhand.

It turned out that half a century had passed since this incident, and people in those days had grown old and died. Rogge himself felt that all that was left of what happened back then was a glass of wine in a bar in the next life.

However, Qingniao once again revealed what happened back then. Not only did it stir up Rogge's memories, but he also planned to do something about what happened back then.

For Rogge, what happened back then was a thorn in her heart. If no one mentioned it, she would only occasionally feel sad when she was alone.

But if someone digs out this old story, Rogge will also let people know why she has been the middleman queen in Night City for half a century.

As for Jade Bird, Rogge felt that he couldn't see through her, but it was obvious that this little girl knew too much about the past. It was possible that Old Morgan told her, but it was more likely that this little girl knew many secrets.

So after Jade Bird repeatedly teased her about Johnny Silverhand, Rogge was willing to listen to what she wanted to say.

If it had been anyone else, Rogge would have physically pulled out the secret from his stomach.

And Bluebird did not sell it this time, and directly talked about Johnny Silverhand: "At Arasaka Tower, Johnny Silverhand had a chance to escape, but in order to avenge Ultra, he went to Arasaka Tower The data terminal was delayed in uploading a piece of data, and was finally caught by Adam Hammer.

However, he did not die in the hands of Adam Hammer, but was sent to the hands of Saburo Arasaka after being captured... You can understand without me telling you what the outcome will be if you fall into the hands of that old immortal, right? "

"Then why did the immortal catch him? And Saburo Arasaka probably didn't come to the Night City during the Fourth Corporate War, right?" Rogge was a little confused. If Adam Hammer wanted to kill Johnny Silverhand, it was just He was employed by Arasaka at the time, so it was a bit strange that Saburo Arasaka wanted to capture Johnny Silverhand.

Although that was half a century ago, and the Arasaka Group was also competing with military technology at the time, the person in charge of Arasaka's business in North America at the time was Arasaka Kei, the eldest son of Saburo Arasaka.

And Saburo Arasaka himself was sincerely cultivating his heir and no longer took care of things. According to the information Rogge knew during the entire company war, he did not seem to come to the Night City.

However, Qingniao smiled and said disdainfully: "The old immortal wants to live forever! That's why he had Otto Cunningham captured back then. Do you remember Ultra's Soul Killer? That was actually a human being. Technology that can upload consciousness to the Internet and create a digital imprint.

When you first entered Arasaka Tower, Ultra was not dead. Her consciousness was hiding in the server next to you. However, the idiot Johnny Silverhand simply pulled the plug, and Ultra's The consciousness could not return to the body, so it became the wandering AI outside the black wall.

After Johnny Silverhand was seriously injured by Adam Hammer, he was handed over to Saburo Arasaka, and then his consciousness was uploaded and made into a digital imprint.

As for the body, it should be buried somewhere in Night City. I don't remember the exact location, but if you dig up, you should be able to find his arms and the like. "

The information that Blue Bird said really shocked Rogge. She really didn't expect that there were so many secrets about what happened back then.

Especially Ultra. He didn't expect that Johnny Silverhand's favorite woman would blow up Arasaka Tower for her, but he ended up killing her with his own hands. This was really ironic.

Thinking like this, Rogge also needed to light cigarettes and wine to stabilize his emotions after knowing all this.

Fortunately, she was not too surprised by the city she had experienced for many years. She quickly calmed down and asked Qingniao: "So what do you want to do? Kill Adam Hammer? There is no way you are that bastard Johnny." Illegitimate daughter, are you planning to kill Saburo Arasaka to avenge him?"

In Rogge's view, Aotori told him this just because she wanted to do something with him, and judging from the content of her conversation, it was nothing more than related to the deaths of Arasaka and Johnny Silverhand.

And the only person involved in the death of Johnny Silverhand, besides Adam Hammer, was Saburo Arasaka. It was impossible for Ao Niao to really challenge the entire Arasaka Group and kill the great god Saburo Arasaka, right?

After all, Rogge is just a middleman in Night City. To put it nicely, she is called the Queen of the Afterlife. To put it worst, in the eyes of the company, she is just a character who can be replaced at any time.

So even Rogge only dared to think about killing Adam Hammer, and never thought about killing Saburo Arasaka.

"Adam Hammer will definitely be killed, and I still have a score to settle with him." Blue Bird nodded, admitted his plan, and then continued: "But don't be too anxious about this matter, I will After the game is over, if there are no problems, we should be able to fish him out. Then you just need to help and cooperate and let me kill him.

But apart from this, I also have other things for you to help with. After Johnny Silverhand was uploaded, his consciousness was digitally imprinted, and he has been imprisoned in Arasaka’s data fortress mikoshi ever since. It was only recently that the Arasaka Group developed the A new technology was brought back out.

If you want to save him, then cooperate with my plan. You may need to blow up Arasaka Tower again. "

"Blow up Arasaka Tower again?" Rogge's eyebrows almost flew up when he heard this.

How many times can a person blow up Arasaka Tower in his lifetime?Roger's answer was that she had seen it twice.

So she didn't pay too much attention to this matter, and just asked Qingniao: "Are you sure that bastard can be saved? If you can really save him, how about blowing up Arasaka Tower with you again?"

"Don't worry, my technology won't let you down." Aotori smiled confidently. Compared with Arasaka's immature consciousness transfer technology, what Aotori has in his hands is the one that can truly realize cyber immortality and mechanical Soaring technology: "It's just that you may have to endure Johnny's bastard being covered in iron. After all, if you want to make a biological prosthesis... you can't afford the money."

Chapter 126: Persuading Rogge

For Jade Bird, making a biological prosthetic body is really not something impossible.

As long as there are enough genetic samples, Jade Bird can use the medical module on the body to compile genes and directly cultivate a clone. It can even be more powerful by combining living organisms and prosthetics to create biochemical humans.

As for the consciousness part, it is even simpler. With the consciousness uploading technology in Jade Bird's hand, she can easily deconstruct the Relic chip and release Johnny Silverhand's digital imprint.

The only thing that can restrain Blue Bird is the cost of doing so. Cultivating a genetic clone or

Chapter 127 As expected, an accident occurred

According to a certain Tongge Sect, if there is no accident, there will definitely be an accident.

Originally, according to Jade Bird's plan, after Tanaka learned that David had successfully installed Si'an Westan, he would have planned to make him a test subject for the Prosthetic King Kong, and Adam Hammer would also appear in the show because of the Prosthetic King Kong. Night City.

After that, you only need to use David to fish out the prosthetic King Kong and Adam Hammer, and the rest is Blue Bird's performance time.

In order to give Adam Hammer an impressive and gorgeous death, Jade Bird even placed a steamroller and several bottles of liquid nitrogen in her hangar, intending to reenact the famous scene. For this, she even prepared her lines.

However, an accident still happened, because...it wasn't just Adam Hammer.

"Mr. Goro! I didn't expect you to come to Night City in person!" Abernathy looked at the head of Arasaka's number one bodyguard who came off the transport plane, with an expression on his face full of surprise.

Although she had been in contact with Saburo Arasaka's personal bodyguard before, she did not expect that Goro Takemura would come to Night City in person. Originally, she thought she could invite Adam Hammer or send one or two more agent teams from the headquarters. It's already up to the sky.

You must know that Goro Takemura is the personal bodyguard of Saburo Arasaka himself. Although he also serves as the head of Arasaka's security force, more often than not, he only has one thing to do, and that is to protect Saburo Arasaka.

Apart from this, there is nothing else that Takemura Goro is responsible for.

However, there are always exceptions to everything.

"Sir Saburo attaches great importance to this matter, so he sent me to deal with it." Facing Abernathy, Goro Takemura did not speak Japanese English with a heavy accent, but used fluent Japanese: "You'd better have Make a plan and make sure everything is foolproof, otherwise if you fail to live up to Master Saburo's expectations, I will personally correct your mistake."

For Goro Takemura, Arasaka Saburo's number one loyalist, he is loyal to his master like a samurai in ancient Japan. For this reason, he is not stingy even if he sacrifices his own life, let alone the lives of others.

If you carefully dig out information related to Takemura Goro in the game, you will find that this guy will even make "delicious, simple plum rice balls" for Arasaka Saburo.

It is conceivable that for Goro Takemura, he must be personally responsible for the food and daily life of his Master Saburo in order to feel at ease.

In Goro Takemura's view, Saburo Arasaka's safety can only be guaranteed if he is personally responsible for it, and when he leaves Saburo Arasaka's side, it means that there is a loophole in the security around Saburo Arasaka.

If it weren't for Saburo Arasaka's order, Goro Takemura would never have come to Night City to perform any special mission.

However, when the order really came from Saburo Arasaka himself, Goro Takemura could only suppress his worries about Saburo Arasaka's safety and his inner anxiety, and come to Night City to meet the so-called mysterious master.

The inner anxiety also made Takemura Goro just want to complete the task in the shortest time so that he could go back to protect his Lord Saburo. Naturally, he would not be polite to Abernathy.

Adam Hammer on the side may have been over-reformed. He had neither expression nor emotion. He just said to Abernathy: "I don't care what your plan is, as long as it allows me to enjoy it freely." Just fight.

But if the mysterious master you mentioned doesn't show up, as a price for wasting my time, I will crush your piece of rotten flesh! "

Perhaps the transformation has indeed affected Adam Hammer's thinking. He has a serious contempt for any flesh and blood, and his own personality has also been distorted to a certain extent.

This also makes Adam Hammer more frightening to Abernathy than Goro Takemura, who looks like a human but is just more fierce.

"Please rest assured, the entire plan has been formulated, and it will definitely lead to the mysterious master." Abernathy did not dare to talk nonsense, and all the rhetoric he had originally thought of turned into weak guarantees.

However, Goro Takemura didn't care about this and just nodded.

--------------

The blue bird on the other side did not receive the information that Goro Takemura had arrived in Night City.

Her intelligence acquisition on Arasaka mainly relies on stealing various information within the Arasaka network through the Internet. If this information is not recorded on the Internet, then Ao Niao will have no way of knowing it.

The news that Goro Takemura and Adam Hammer arrived in Night City was kept secret by Abernathy.

Her purpose was to surprise the "mysterious master" with an unexpected sneak attack. Naturally, it was impossible to publicize in a big way that her top masters had come to Night City, and two of them came at once.

So naturally, Aotori only knew that Arasaka had brought reinforcements from his headquarters, but he didn't know who the reinforcements were.

Out of absolute confidence in his own strength, Aotori didn't care who the reinforcements transferred from Arasaka headquarters were, because there was essentially no difference no matter who came.

For Aotori, the only difference may be that if she knew that it was Goro Takemura coming, she would be more curious about the strength of Arasaka's number one bodyguard, who had his full-body prosthesis turned off in the game, in his prime.

After all, in the game plot, this old guy can still do various things with V even when his whole-body prosthetic body is remotely shut down, and he is even sure to kill Xiaoda. You can only imagine how strong this guy is.

However, except for this small detail, all the information recorded on the server by the Arasaka Night City branch has not escaped Aotori's grasp.

For example, she already knows when Tanaka will transport the prosthetic King Kong into Night City, as well as the related transportation routes.

In the original anime plot, it was Faraday, the original middleman of Mann and others, who gave the Cyberpunk team, which was continued to be led by David after Mann's death, a commission to rob Arasaka's transport team and seize the prosthetic King Kong.

But now, because of the intervention of Blue Bird, not only has this not happened, but Military Technology has no interest in the prosthetic King Kong at all.

Therefore, Jade Bird did not play the role of the mastermind behind the scenes, using military technology to entrust Faraday or something like that. Instead, he directly asked Mann to take David to rob things.

As for herself, she did not follow Mann and the others. Instead, when they were planning to rob the convoy, they came to Old Morgan's farm again.

"Adam Hammer is back. I want to kill him. Are you interested in meeting an old friend?" Jade Bird got straight to the point and extended an invitation to old Morgan who was doing farm work.

Chapter 128 The curtain opens and the show begins

In the wilderness on the outskirts of Night City, a motorcade with the Arasaka logo on its body was heading towards Night City.

It was still the usual configuration of the company's armed escort, with a large truck walking in the middle, surrounded by several vans full of security personnel.

This is a common configuration for company armed escorts, but this time there are more escorts than normal.

However, for the Cyberpunk team preparing to hijack the car, this additional number of people was not enough to cause any trouble.

Even if only some of the men led by Mann came to hijack the car this time, the Arasaka armed escort convoy in front of them was just a lamb to be slaughtered and a delicious cake in their eyes.

"David, it's your first time doing this kind of work, are you nervous?" Ambushing behind the dunes, Mann looked at the childish David and asked him.

Although David worked with Mann and others during this period, it was basically trivial matters in Night City, that is, to exercise David's abilities and let him see blood.

Generally speaking, David's performance was pretty good. Even if Mann took him on a commission that required killing people, David did not behave badly. Although he vomited once afterward, David was still very fast. Adapted to the mercenary life in Night City.

It's just that the pressure and tension of adapting to the mercenary life is different from the pressure and tension of robbing the company's motorcade.

Although before arriving, Mann had also trained David with the training chip that Blue Bird had given them when training, the feeling of simulated training and actually robbing the company's fleet was still different.

So Mann still planned to take care of this kid to prevent him from getting too stressed.

Fortunately, David seemed to be very adaptable. He did not appear nervous when faced with the pressure in front of him, but instead felt eager to try.

"Boss Mann, I'm fine. Although I'm a little nervous, I won't affect the mission." David smiled at Mann and explained at the same time: "I just think it's amazing. After all, in I was still studying at Arasaka School, and I was thinking about how to join Arasaka Company and climb up the corporate ladder after graduation, but now I am going to rob Arasaka’s transportation fleet. Life has a very strange feeling.”

Hearing David say this, Mann did not find anything strange, but said very understandingly: "I can understand your thoughts, boy. If I hadn't met the boss, maybe I would still be an ordinary mercenary now.

He thought he was great and wanted to become a new legend in Night City, but then he ended up in those rotten and smelly sewers one day.

But I met the boss, met more powerful guys, dealt with the company, and obtained a powerful prosthetic body that I had never dared to imagine before...
