The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

"I can't find it...it's not surprising."

Listening to Sasha's words, Lin Qiao thought for a while, but didn't say anything.

After all, it is perfectly normal for Military Technology to ask someone to cause trouble for Arasaka.

It is also unrealistic to catch an enemy with the ability to control minds and erase information without any clues.

The only question now is whether these two things are related... This can only be verified slowly.

But the good news is that the other party may not have the ability to read minds - otherwise he would have come to the door long ago.

"Tell the Counterintelligence Department to stop worrying about this for now and focus on the next operation, especially Tanaka."

Which middleman takes the commission and which mercenary is sent to carry it out are secondary issues.

——To put it bluntly, the middlemen are just dogs that lick the company's boots, while the mercenaries are just tools that can be used for money.

There's no point in looking for these.

Not to mention, their purpose is almost clear to us.

"But are you so sure that the mysterious guy is from Military Technology?" Sasha asked after responding perfunctorily twice.

"No, on the contrary, I'm not sure at all. I even doubt that the military technology may not know that guy."

"…Then why are you messing with military technology?"

Lin Qiao spread her hands and said, "That's why I do this because I'm not sure."

Rather than being tortured by the possibility of uncertainty, it is better to prepare for the worst from the beginning.

This is also the reason why he let his clone disguise himself as Amazon to attack the military technology convoy, but left behind key evidence in the end.

…It’s a pity that when he kicked the ball in Tokyo Ghoul, it blew up too cleanly and he couldn’t preserve the sample. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have to do it himself.

But this is beside the point.

In short, apart from the necessary misleading information, the other purpose is to go fishing.

If the other party gets the news about Amazon, then the next step is to find a way to investigate.

Especially when you know that this thing is related to Arasaka.

The simplest and most effective way is to find a high-ranking member of Arasaka to interrogate... and this is the effect Lin Qiao wants.

——Anyway, the military technology people have already set their sights on Tanaka, so why not just let him maximize his value?

As for his own opinion...if you have the guts, go sue Saburo Arasaka (laughs).

But apart from that, what concerned him more was that when Man Yin and his friends came to the clinic last time, they told him that someone was looking for Lucy by name.

This is somewhat worrying.

All signs indicate that the person who came to them to ask for information about Lucy should be the guy with psychic abilities he was looking for.

But...why?

How did the other party get the news about Lucy?

Not to mention the information blockade in recent years, at least Lin Qiao is very sure that this white-haired hacker girl in her family is definitely a solitary type in terms of personality.

It would be more reliable to expect her to taste a cup of Nebula Coffee than to expect her to make friends actively.

But that's why it's so strange.

The other party came to ask Man Yin and others for clues about Lucy...

In addition to proving that the other party knows Lucy herself, it also means that the other party is very sure that Mainin and others know clues about Lucy.

"what happened?"

Lucy was a little confused when she found that Lin Qiao was staring at her thoughtfully.

"It's okay, I was just thinking about something."

Lin Qiao shook her head.

To be honest, apart from abilities like divination, he had a bold guess about this.

For example, I didn’t watch the Cyberpunk animation at the time…

Although it is not important to think about these things now, at least some things can be explained.

Just in case, it’s better not to go back to the clinic for the time being.

"But let's stop here today, it's getting late."

"Eh? You're not going to continue?"

"Forget it. If you drink any more, you'll probably have a headache tomorrow morning."

He glanced at the several empty wine bottles on the table. Although he drank some of them with Sasha out of consideration for his feelings, in terms of quantity...should he say that they are worthy of being a fighting nation?

"Go back to Arasaka drunk, or Abernathy will deduct your salary."

"It doesn't matter. Just say you're drinking with me. I think Abernathy will understand... But it's true."

As if he had thought of something, Sasha put down the Volt in his hand.

The corners of his mouth turned up and his eyes half-closed make people think of a kitten who wants to do something bad.

"I really can't drink any more. If I drink any more, I feel like I won't be able to go back... Oops."

As soon as he stood up, he leaned towards Lin Qiao with a swaying body due to the alcohol.

"It seems that I did drink a little accidentally... um..."

"..."

Feeling the feeling of being held and pressed against by two round things, and looking at Lucy next to her with an obviously unfriendly look, Lin Qiao felt an inexplicable headache.

Chapter 351 The world where only Tanaka was injured is completed

As one of Arasaka's top executives in Night City, and one of the few people who knows about the existence of K and has not had most of his related memories erased, Tanaka feels that something is wrong with the atmosphere in the company recently.

He couldn't tell the details.

However, ever since Lord Saburo used the Chimera Box to create some annoying artificial life forms, this weird feeling has always existed.

BloodRiot

His unscrupulous ways of doing things and his erratic and cruel personality made it so that the top brass of Night City's Arasaka branch dared not speak out against him.

Oh, by the way, my former rival and classmate Kaoru Fujioka does dare to do that.

Then he disappeared the next day.

And that red bastard was only given a symbolic rebuke by Lord Saburo...it couldn't even be called a rebuke.

To put it simply, it means: "Although he was wrong, you were also wrong, so don't do it again next time."

Apart from that, there was not even a symbolic punishment.

All I can say is that favoritism is fearless.

At the same time, affected by this guy and the knight system he created, the "Cyborg", which was originally promoted by him and regarded by Arasaka as a next-generation war weapon, has now become in an extremely embarrassing position.

After all, Cyborg really can't beat the opponent.

In the actual combat test, not only was Cyborg hacked by the knight transformed by Lucy at the first encounter, but even if the opponent changed to other head-on combat combinations, Cyborg would not have any advantage at all.

This thing called a full bottle is really unreasonable!

If it weren't for the Knight System's prerequisite, it would need to be transformed by the Chimaera Box. After Blood Riot was created, the Chimaera Box fell into a dormant state due to insufficient energy, making it unable to continue to create qualified transformers. It is estimated that Cybertron would have been removed from the list by now...

But the problem is that Cyborg also has similar shortcomings!

Even bigger than the opposite side!

The current cyborg is just an iron coffin that treats the driver as a disposable consumable, and the kind that won’t last long.

The only one who can be applied is Adam Hammer...what's the use of that!

What Arasaka wants is a mass-produced machine that can win the Fifth Corporate War, not a fucking Gundam!

Compared with the already established knight system, it is far inferior.

Finally, not to mention that Cyborg is still only a semi-finished product.

All functions have not been fully tested, and there are not even many testers who can withstand other outputs.

"Ugh……"

Sitting in the car, Tanaka sighed helplessly. There were indeed many things that needed to be worried about.

Moreover, during this period, his son was beaten and sent to the hospital... The sight of his son wailing on the hospital bed made Tanaka, who had a son in his old age, feel heartbroken.

The man who beat the other person was just a poor boy from Saint Domingo with no background. It could be said that he could kill the other person at any time if he wanted to.

But as luck would have it, the other party's perfect use of the military-grade Sian Westin gave him other thoughts.

It just so happens that Cybertron is in need of candidates for experiments, so let that poor boy make his own contribution to the company, and also let him atone for his actions...

But this is not going very smoothly.

It was somewhat surprising that the poor boy did not return to Arasaka Academy.

The driver in the front seat glanced through the rearview mirror and didn't say much.

After leaving the hospital, the limousine drove all the way to Japantown in Westbrook - adults always have their own way of venting.

However, just as he walked to the club he often went to and placed an order with a female masseuse, a teenager with a punk hairstyle walked in...

And that familiar look surprised Tanaka even more.

"David Martinez!?"

It was really unexpected that the murderer who injured his son and the experimenter of the prepared cyborg King Kong would appear in front of him under such circumstances.

David, who was trying to pretend to be a cleaner and sneak in, was stunned when he found out that the other party called out his name.

——Something is not right!

Although his mind went blank for a second, Tanaka naturally knew that the fact that he was able to get this position must mean that something bad had happened to him.

But before he could react, a burst of electric current burst out from the prosthesis in his body, and his consciousness suddenly went blank.

'System reset...Network hacker...Oops!'

The slightly fat body fell straight down.

But just before his body collided violently with the ground, David turned on the Swansea Westin and injected a tube of anesthetic into his body, which would ensure that he would sleep longer.

He looked back at the still-open door and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that no one had noticed the situation here.

[Hey, kid, stop dilly-dallying! ]

Maine's voice suddenly came from the communication channel, which made him shudder.

[Okay, got it. I'll be right there.]

As David finished his words, the lights in the club suddenly went out, and at the same time, there were sounds of people complaining and even fighting from downstairs.

David knew that his teammates were buying him time.

While everyone is attracted by the chaos below.

Through the stimulation of his muscles by Swanwestin, he carried Tanaka, who was a whole circle stronger than himself, and quickly walked downstairs through the staff passage.

Behind the club, the modified armored vehicle had already been parked there.

There was a security guard who had fallen down on the ground nearby.

Dolio in the carriage called out and put the unconscious Tanaka inside.

And to be on the safe side, he was given another injection of anesthetic.

"Okay, get in the car, we're leaving."

"Eh? Aren't you waiting for Maine and Pyrrha?"

"They are still buying time inside and will join us later."

They said they were trying to buy time, but in fact, the two of them just found an excuse to cause trouble inside and attract people's attention.

"Ladies, hold on tight, the road ahead is not easy."
