The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

"It's over! It's all over this time!"

Coming out of the maintenance well, amid the alarm, Jack looked at the corpse in the ridiculous posture with bloodshot eyes, just like a bull with a bloodshot head.

Originally, their job was just stealing things, and they were considered thieves.

But now that Saburo Arasaka is dead, the nature of this matter is completely different.

It seems that this big pot will fall on his and V's heads.

But now he doesn't have much time to sigh and complain.

If they stayed any longer, they would be surrounded by Arasaka soldiers in less than two minutes, and they would be in great danger...

Turning to look at his companion who was touching everywhere in the room, Jack couldn't help but said anxiously.

"Fuck! V, it's already this late, stop picking up things! If you stay any longer, we'll both be done for!"

My partner is good in everything: brave, careful, and highly skilled, but he just likes to steal other people's equipment.

That's something that even a scavenger would have to say, "The donor is too extreme."

However, despite and precisely because of this, the other party was able to move from Watson District to Heywood, where rents were not low, in just half a year.

But now is obviously not the time to do this!

"Right now!"

He put the cash on the table into his pocket, carried a samurai sword on his back, and in his other hand held Lai Xuan's special gun that he had searched from the bedside.

v strode to the rooftop outside the window.

——This is also their only way out.

The outside is probably under martial law now and the only way out is to take the maintenance ladder.

It was raining in the gloomy sky.

The two people walking on the edge of the building didn't dare to breathe.

In the distance, hovercrafts and drones flew over one after another.

Fortunately, they were not discovered.

The two of them jumped onto the ladder without any danger and went down to the passage reserved for maintenance workers.

"Arasaka Saburo, the 150-year-old Arasaka emperor, but today! Damn it! Why today!?"

Holding the cooler in his hand, Jack recalled the shriveled corpse he saw a few minutes ago, his voice trembling but a little fierce.

Hearing this, V on the side also fell silent.

Jack had the same idea as her. Their luck was really bad.

"What should we do now? Should we contact Dexter first? Or should we contact Parker first?"

He took two deep breaths and lowered his voice.

After temporarily escaping danger, the two finally squeezed out some time to think about their next plans.

But no matter what, I can't stay in Night City anymore.

"Okay, I'll... No, absolutely not!"

You must not go to them at this time!

She was just about to follow Jack's instructions and contact Evelyn Parker, but the next second an inexplicable thought popped up in her mind, which made her change her mind.

"Listen to me, Jack. If we go find them now, we'll be dead!"

"Remember? Parker wanted to kick Dexter before. Now that something big has happened, that woman may not care about our lives."

"And Dexter, too. He was the one who assigned us this job. If he wants to distance himself from it, we'll be in danger."

The originally confused brain quickly became clear.

After hearing these words and thinking about it, Jack took a breath of cold air with some fear.

Although on the surface they seemed to be sitting in the same boat, they were not related at all, and the other party might have kicked him and V off in order to run faster.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. If we don't go find them, what should we do now?"

"I don't know. My mind is in a mess right now..."

It seemed like the buff had expired, and V once again turned into a wanderer with intelligence 3.

"But no matter what, we have to leave here first. Staying here will only lead to death!"

……

"I have to help you out."

On the other side, after V and Jack left, the alarm in the building also stopped.

And "Arasaka Saburo", who was lying on the ground with an attitude of "Don't stop", patted his clothes and stood up.

But his movements were a little strange.

"Oh, his neck is broken. He's quite strong, but that's ok... but it's a poor excuse for poisoning."

"..."

"It seems that you didn't expect to be killed by your own son."

It's like talking to yourself.

He straightened the neck that had drooped to one side, and with a click, it was reconnected.

"Control me? The artificial life you created? Do you still believe this? Or am I pretending so well that you don't even doubt it now?"

"..."

"Of course it was fake from the beginning. How could you possibly be immortal?"

"..."

"Forget it, go ahead and curse if you want. There isn't much time left anyway."

He took out a small pill he had with him and poured it into the beer next to him.

The white tablet dissolved quickly the moment it came into contact with beer.

"Cheers, Saburo Arasaka, I wish you good health - but in the next life"

Drink the light yellow liquid in the bottle in one gulp.

He looked around, found a towel, and wiped the footprints left by V and Jack when they left.

Then, his body twitched and he fell to the ground... still in the captain's "don't stop" posture.

A ball of blue gel-like substance emerged from his body.

With only his last breath left, Saburo Arasaka stared with bloodshot eyes at the squirming ball of blue jelly the size of a palm in front of him, which finally lost all its life.

Chapter 385 Lai Xuan, I'm here to negotiate (sorry for the update)

After the shower, the weather gradually cleared up and a ray of sunshine appeared on the horizon.

It is on the rooftop about one kilometer away from the Ganbi Building.

Lin Qiao's real body, who had completed the transformation using the Evolution Driver, was watching this scene from afar.

In order to cover up the bright golden and red color of the body, a black cloak is hung on the body.

However, until the person who controlled Saburo Arasaka's body died, the target he was waiting for did not appear.

"It's a little unexpected..."

The armor on the side of his face was rubbed between his fingers.

He thought that after the vampire knew that he was in Arasaka, he would be eager to take advantage of today's opportunity to find Saburo Arasaka to do something.

For this purpose, Lin Qiao also released some information specially and chose a rainy day to schedule this heartwarming father-son meeting when it would be more convenient for the other party to move around.

But now it seems that the other party's patience is much better than he expected.

Or has it already sneaked in, but no one has noticed?

After thinking for a few seconds, Lin Qiao temporarily chose to give up.

It doesn't make much sense.

And putting aside other things, at least now he needs to talk to Arasaka Yorinobu, who has been his big brother for several years.

Whether it is to ensure the other party's safety or to avoid getting in his way in the next action, he needs to have a meeting with the other party.

As for whether the other party would cooperate with this... at least he had no room for refusal.

Besides, all the necessary preparations have been made, otherwise Lin Qiao would not have sacrificed Saburo Arasaka so simply.

Well, I hope the other party doesn't gossip, otherwise he will have to inherit his father's genes and throw the genetic factors that controlled Saburo Arasaka into his body.

……

Compared to V and Jack who thought they were blamed, Arasaka Yorinobu, who had killed his own father out of filial piety, was truly like an ant on hot pan at this moment.

impulse!

——At this time, Lai Xuan commented on himself a few minutes ago.

Even though he had wanted to completely eradicate this cancer a long time ago, and the so-called father-son relationship had been exhausted decades ago, the time to take action was far from being as unprepared as it is now.

I quickly washed my face with cold water from the sink.

Arasaka Yorinobu took several deep breaths before he managed to calm down his anxious emotions.

Looking at myself in the mirror, I warned myself in my heart that I should not panic at times like this.

There were no outsiders when Saburo was killed. Even if we count Goro Takemura who came in later and Adam Hammer who had completed the repairs and lost his memory, there were only three people.

Needless to say, Adam Hammer is a smart man. Even though he noticed something unusual, from the moment Saburo Arasaka died, he knew which side to take.

The only trouble is his father's personal bodyguard.

But it’s not too troublesome, and we can even put the blame on him.

Well, that’s it, very beautiful, very beautiful.

But before that, he must first completely control Arasaka - this is not a problem, after all, he has not been eating for free in the past few years.

The most powerful hawkish faction within Arasaka is led by him.

After sorting out his thoughts, Lai Xuan let out a long breath and walked out of the bathroom.

however--

It was then that he realized that the corridors around him were unusually quiet.

"What about people?"

He looked around in astonishment. Before he entered the bathroom, the Arasaka agents and soldiers who remained outside had disappeared.

What made him even more uneasy was that even the alarm in the Ganbi Building stopped.

"Could it be that old man Sanlang is not dead?"

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Lai Xuan broke out in a cold sweat.

But before he could think of anything different, an arm covered in brightly colored armor grabbed him from behind.

Then, a feeling of discomfort caused by loss of gravity came over me, and the scene in front of me changed in the blink of an eye.

"This is…?"

When Lai Xuan came to his senses, he was surprised to find that he had returned to the room where the father had died and the son was filial.

Saburo Arasaka's body was also lying there...

Although there are not many changes in the movements, there are some subtle changes.

Like the folds of clothing and the position of the body...

"How does it feel to kill your own father, Yoshinori?"

"!"

A strange voice came from behind him, making him turn around suddenly.
