The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

He tapped Lucy's head lightly...but judging from her expression, it was obvious that she didn't hear him, which made Lin Qiao even more helpless.

After all, there's no point in setting a password. With her hacking skills, she can break into it in just minutes.

"Come to think of it, is that your former partner?"

Lucy rolled over on the bed and came closer.

"Yes what's the matter?"

"It's just some curiosity and sighing..."

It seems that the people from the other world are similar to us.

Lucy yawned as she lay on the bed.

After spending such a long time together, she had a general understanding of Lin Qiao's identity...or rather, the latter had no intention of hiding it at all.

Basically, every question is answered.

Having said that, to her, there is no difference whether they are aliens or people from another world.

“But why are all the photos women?”

Thinking back to the photos she had seen, Lucy suddenly remembered a crucial point.

And just as she said, the contents of the photos were basically group photos of him with some women or individual photos of him.

And there are all kinds of hair colors, pink, green, black, white... Tsk!

Lucy felt that she had reason to suspect that this guy was playing some weird color collecting game.

“…Hey, there are men up there too, right?”

"It's less than ten in total. How do you explain this?"

"…But at least there are still ten left?"

Seeing Lin Qiao's reckless look, Lucy shook her head with a look of disdain:

"I never thought that my roommate would be such a playboy... I'm really worried about me."

"…if you feel worried, put on your clothes, go to your room and go to sleep."

He ordered him to leave without hesitation, but the latter seemed not to have heard it. He rolled around on the bed a few times and stepped aside.

"This guy... has become less and less cute in the past two years."

Shaking her head, to be honest, Lin Qiao missed Lucy when she first met her.

——It turns out that I have become a bad person after spending a few years in Night City.

"By the way, is there no sign of the person you are looking for?" Lucy suddenly asked a serious question.

Lin Qiao shook his head helplessly at this.

In recent years, he has tried to attach his genetic genes to other people, and then walked between various cities, trying to activate the system's distance judgment between the enemy and us.

But the results were not very ideal.

"So...how much time do you have left?" After hesitating, he asked this question, causing someone's face to freeze.

Lin Qiao cannot stay in the same world for a long time - this is the conclusion she came to.

This can be seen from the interval between the dates the photos were taken.

Even judging from the years of getting along with each other, maybe even their scope of activities is limited to a certain extent.

"Why are you asking these questions? Well, it's still growing anyway..." He laughed it off, trying to get away with it, but then met Lucy's eyes that didn't seem like a joke.

"Don't try to fool me, and don't lie. Answer me directly, right now."

This is probably what she meant.

"..."

"Okay, okay, I lose to you... I still have less than two years left."

Faced with Lucy's persistent gaze, Lin Qiao could only raise her hands in surrender. Compared to a sudden separation, perhaps it would be better to take precautions in advance... right?

Lying on her side on the bed, Lucy pursed her lower lips tightly, and a certain look flashed in her eyes.

Two years...

It is quite long, but... to be honest, it feels a little too short.

“…Is there no other solution?”

Lin Qiao glanced at her meaningfully, then sat down next to her and rubbed her head.

"Okay, stop imagining it. I'm just leaving for a while. It's not like I won't be able to come back."

"Also, don't be too smart. Although I've never met him, his strength should not be much inferior to mine... If anything happens to you, I will be in a passive position."

"How about you have a little confidence in me?"

He stroked the girl's long white hair which was tangled from rolling around, and the scent of shampoo still lingered on it.

The latter also muttered softly, "Don't always treat me as a child," and then obediently cooperated with his actions.

"Then it's a deal. You have to take me to the moon once in the future. Okay." She slowly closed her eyes and yawned.

"You still remember this." Lin Qiao scratched his head.

"But if you want to go, my clone is on the moon (in the decomposed planet) now. If you..."

"Different…"

I want your real self to go with me.

"Yeah."

As if she understood something, she patted her back gently and watched Lucy fall asleep again. Lin Qiao shook her head but didn't say much.

Let’s postpone our trip to Arasaka today a little bit…those workers won’t dare to complain anyway.

Chapter 334 Kamen Rider Cure Grace

I have to say that as a devout believer of Huilongjiao, Lucy has very good sleep quality.

It was almost ten o'clock when I woke up groggily because I was thirsty.

...This is unlike someone who apostatized from the religion a long time ago due to his physical condition and joined the No Sleep Cult.

After a quick wash and breakfast, the two set off for Arasaka.

After all, there is some serious business today.

After a long time, he took out the smoke gun and transformed into BloodRiot form - if it was just to cover up his identity, this was enough.

Then he reached out and grabbed Lucy, whose face was also hidden.

Then, the bodies of the two people quickly became illusory and disappeared on the spot.

When the brief feeling of weightlessness passed, they had arrived at the underground facilities of Arasaka Tower.

The people around seemed to have gotten used to this way of moving through space.

Apart from a flash of surprise in their eyes, there was not much surprise.

In the center of the room, placed there is the Chimaera Box that Saburo Arasaka has been thinking about, which is the genetic clone of Lin Qiao.

However, compared to a few years ago when it was simply placed there, there are now several extremely thick and long conductive wires around it, which continuously transmit ultra-high volt currents for it to absorb.

As for his clone, Lin Qiao did not choose to let Saburo Arasaka take it back to Japan, but left it in Night City.

After all, bringing him to Japan would be useless except for being a decoration and having to face that old bastard Saburo Arasaka every day.

It would be better to stay and see if you can be used as bait or play some other role at the right time.

And if necessary, it is also convenient to recycle.

"You are too slow."

There was a dissatisfied complaint from behind.

Along with it comes the "tapping" sound of the rapidly approaching soles of shoes colliding with the ground.

Putting aside the familiar voice, there was only one person in this facility who dared to speak to Lin Qiao in this tone.

"Hey, long time no see, Sasha."

He greeted the other person in an exaggerated tone with a strange voice after his voice changed.

But this obviously didn't make Sasha feel better...it even made her feel a little worse.

After Saburo Arasaka formed a special force directly under him a few years ago, Sasha naturally joined in - this was just as Lin Qiao had promised her at the beginning.

And because she is the only person among all people, except Saburo Arasaka, who can directly touch the magic box with her body without suffering backlash, and she has the shade of a big tree to lean on, her status also rises.

By the way, Lin Qiao did not enter Arasaka as a distant relative of Fujioka Kaoru.

On the surface, he has absolutely no relationship with Fujioka Kaoru - even if there was, it has been erased.

He is an artificial life form secretly created by Saburo Arasaka using the Chimera Box in order to eliminate another person who obtained the Chimera Box parts...

Although this is not actually the case, it is enough for some people to believe it.

Anyway, the final right of interpretation lies in the hands of Saburo Arasaka (Lin Qiao), and no one dares to go to him to verify the situation.

Therefore, although Lin Qiao is not the official leader of this army, the right to speak is firmly in his hands.

Even if he kills a director of the special operations team because he is not happy at the moment, Saburo Arasaka, as the boss of everyone, will still be infinitely partial to him.

——This was the lesson the former director, who tried to use him as a tool, learned from his life on his first day in office.

And after leaving the impression of being moody, Sasha, who was able to communicate with him normally, naturally became more popular.

Although he is not the second-in-command, he is more or less the one whose words have the final say here.

Lucy, on the other hand, is a special individual found by Saburo Arasaka under the guidance of the Chimaera Box... As I said before, the truth is not important, as long as you look good and have people believe you, that's enough.

As for what is special about it, it is simple.

"Okay, okay, it'll be almost noon soon if you keep complaining. Sasha, you don't want to miss lunch because you've been hanging around here, do you?"

"Who do you think did this?" He rolled his eyes at Lin Qiao, but didn't say anything else.

The three of them quickened their pace and arrived at a reinforced open room.

And in the center of the room was a powerful Smasher—but unlike the other Smashers, this one was extremely calm.

At present, through the research on Chimaera's Box in recent years, Arasaka has roughly mastered the manufacturing and control methods of Mauler...at least that's what they think.

So under the order of Saburo Arasaka, the research on the Chimaera Box entered the next stage.

——That is the part where the knight transforms.

As for the person who transformed, it was...Lucy.

This is also the reason why the prosthetic bodies on her body disappeared. After all, after the human body is modified, these things are completely redundant. It is better to restore the original body.

Lucy didn't say much, just took out a belt and walked to the center of the venue.

Although there is no iron in this world, after Lin Qiao replaced the materials, he finally succeeded in manufacturing the build driver.

Of course, it was announced to the outside world that it was Saburo Arasaka who used the forbidden knowledge in the Chimera Box to create the tool that allows even humans to use alien powers.

——But it’s true.

Slapping the drive on his waist, a golden belt popped out of it, securing the drive in place.

Lucy took out two bottles, one white and one gray, and inserted them into the slots of the drive.

"Hacker!"

"Sniping Rifle"

"Best Match!"

He climbed up the handle of the driver with his fingers, took a deep breath, and started to turn it quickly.

As the catchy music sounded, a large number of transparent pipes extended from the driver, forming a simple high-speed factory.
