The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

As a result, now I tell her that her happy life will end in the next few weeks before she even starts to enjoy it...

Now she was just like a deer being pushed onto a cliff by a pack of wolves.

No matter what choice you make, moving forward or backward, it seems that the result is not very good - although Johnny is a bastard, there is one thing he said that is true, if you follow the company, in the end even if you are sold out you will have to happily help the other party count money.

Facing V's hopeful eyes, Lin Qiao did not answer, but just tapped quickly on the keyboard a few times.

With v feeling uneasy, Lin Qiao handed her a printed medical record.

"V, I won't say anything more. Just go back and take a look at it by yourself."

"I……"

"It's getting late, you should go back to Canada and rest."

The clinic was subsequently closed.

……

[I say, have you been fooled by that pretty boy and shady doctor? ]

After returning home from the clinic in a daze, V became even more confused when looking at the medical record in his hand.

But the Johnny Silverhand in my head was still laughing at me.

"Disease name: Cyberpsychosis"

"Symptoms: Talking to himself and having a bad temper. It is assumed that the disease is in the terminal stage and there is no cure."

"Recommended medication: .45 caliber bullets"

"Doctor's advice: Please kill on the spot or transfer to the terrorist squad (laughs)"

"..."

Holding the medical record in his hand, V wondered that if it wasn't for a certain scumbag who had a grudge against him, he wouldn't have forgotten to add insult to injury at this time.

Or maybe there is some hidden information...

But what could these things hide?

"Come to think of it, the time here seems a little wrong..."

After looking through it for a while, she barely found something a little discordant in it - although if she had to say, the entire medical record was a little unusual.

Closer to home.

There was a dot lightly crossed out with ink under the typed time in the lower left corner of the medical record, but it did not match the time she left the clinic.

"The date is tomorrow morning at one o'clock... doesn't that mean it's three hours later?"

Could it be that he wants to ask me to go there at that time?

But why not say it out loud?

[Are you thinking too much? Maybe it's just a simple mistake. ]

“I don’t know, but I think I can give it a try.”

Anyway, she is already like this, so there is no need to care too much.

Besides, even if she was really overthinking it, just the medical record like this was enough for her to drag someone out of his sleep and give him a beating.

Chapter 389 Don’t underestimate comedians!

With hesitant eyelids, V arrived at someone's clinic in the middle of the night.

Judging from the sounds coming from inside, the people inside were obviously not asleep, but were playing video games - which can be considered ancient.

But when she walked in, she found that the person sitting in front of the TV and rubbing the controller was not an old acquaintance of hers, but a man covered in heavy red armor...

Failed Man?

"Come on, I thought you would be later."

"You are...K?"

She said with some uncertainty.

Although the image has changed a bit, the voice is still the same...

And for some reason, she didn't find it strange at all that the other person was dressed like this.

——Should I say it’s worthy of you?

And Johnny in her mind was still complaining.

[Tsk, I didn't realize your doctor friend likes this kind of style... Come to think of it, in my time there were always a group of young boys who liked to imitate the movies and walk around the streets wearing similar leather suits]

[But his outfit doesn't look cheap. ]

"Okay, stop standing there like an idiot. Sit down."

Lin Qiao waved to V who was still a little dazed.

Although the latter was a little surprised as to why he was dressed like this so late at night, he sat down on the sofa opposite without any hesitation.

"No, is it really okay for you to turn up the volume so loud?"

He pointed to the speaker that was still making a noisy sound.

Although it was not loud enough to disturb others, it could be heard throughout the entire building.

In the past, in order to ensure that her hacker girl could get enough and high-quality sleep, Lin Qiao would never do this.

But right now...

"It doesn't matter. I'm the only one at home now anyway."

Putting down the handle, Lin Qiao's tone was very casual.

As early as the day after the nuclear bomb was dropped on Marshall, he began to prepare to move Lucy and Ciri out of here.

At least this way, one day in the future, when his opponent comes knocking on his door, he will be able to fight him head-on.

At the same time, to be on the safe side, except for one or two clones that were temporarily inconvenient or kept as insurance, all the other genetic factors that had been separated had been taken back, causing his strength to double compared to before.

No, it should be said that this is his nearly complete state.

"But couldn't you have just said what you wanted to say before? Why did you have to go through so much trouble and dress in such a weird way?"

"About this..."

Without directly answering V's question, Lin Qiao chuckled and said, "Before I answer you, let me ask you, what kind of person do you think Suzy is?"

“Takemura…?”

v groaned and thought for a few seconds.

"He was able to escape Arasaka's pursuit even though his prosthetic body was locked up, so there is no problem with his ability."

"And he's very loyal to Saburo. He feels like a samurai from a Super Dream movie, but on the other hand, he seems a bit dumb."

In general, putting aside all those messy factors, if we were just to be friends, it should be pretty good.

And she had to admit that now that the situation was extremely unfavorable to her, the other party's proposal was really very tempting.

——At least for a moment, she couldn't think of any other way out.

"But having said that, you must first understand, V, that Takemura's loyalty to Arasaka Saburo is not respectable, but a product of tragedy."

"He was born in the lowest class of Japanese families. The company took away everything that should have belonged to the people there, alienated their thoughts, and squeezed out every last drop of money in various ways, including human dignity."

"Then we show them some kindness and give them back what they deserve, and only a small part of it, in exchange for their gratitude, and then we use the same brainwashing education we used during World War II to give them."

In fact, this is why Arasaka has so many soldiers.

As Arasaka's base and headquarters, the situation in Japan is far more serious than Lin Qiao said.

If it weren't for Rai Nobuyuki secretly making trouble for Arasaka, causing Arasaka to focus its main energy on the game with other companies, it is estimated that even the government would be completely abolished by now...

Although it is now in name only, the requirement for being elected as a member of Congress is that one must be born in Arasaka.

There’s a reason why Night City is called the “City of Dreams”.

Of course, under the game between various companies, the internal environment is as chaotic as raising a parasite.

But compared to those areas that have been completely monopolized by super companies like Arasaka, this place is indeed full of hope.

[Oh my god, V, this pretty boy is quite good at talking. To be honest, I have a slightly changed opinion of him.]

"But it seems useless to pull me over here in the middle of the night to tell you this, right?"

And is it necessary to say these things behind Goro Takemura's back?

Lin Qiao smiled and continued, "I just want to tell you that your interests and his are fundamentally different. There's no need to dwell on this."

"different?"

v tilted his head, not quite understanding what Lin Qiao said... To put it bluntly, aren't we all going to fight Arasaka?

“Yes, there is a big difference.”

"You mean Takemura lied to me?"

"It can't be said that they cheated. At most, they took advantage of the information gap and rhetoric to mislead you a little and confuse the concepts between each other."

Lin Qiao denied V's point of view.

During the time when he possessed Saburo Arasaka, he got to know Goro Takemura too well.

Although he looks silly on the surface, he can be quite funny sometimes and seems like a born comedian, but in fact he is more of a wise man who appears foolish.

Don't forget who he is.

——Arasaka Saburo’s personal bodyguard.

This cannot be accomplished with just the words sincerity and ability.

"Takemura is a wanted criminal in Arasaka City who killed Saburo Arasaka. Therefore, his goal is to kill Yoshinobu, avenge his master, and clear his own grievances."

"But you are different. You are just an ordinary devil in Night City. Although you stole Johnny Silverhand's chip, Lai Xuan didn't even notice who you are. All you have to do is take out the chip and survive."

Although Lai Xuan seems to be extremely unfriendly to V, it is just an appearance. In fact, the person he is really hunting is Saburo's bodyguard.

And it was because Takemura confused the key that he pulled V, a top-level mortal in Night City, into his own camp.

Otherwise, don't be fooled by his calm and unhurried appearance.

But facing Yoshinobu who has become the president of Arasaka, it would be strange if he was not panicked.

Chapter 390 I Will Still Save You

[Tsk, I said that the company dog ​​was not so kind. I thought he was going to use you and then throw you away. It turns out that he had already started from the beginning. ]

"Okay, okay, you're smart! You said it just as if you saw it at the time!"

I responded to Johnny in my heart without any hesitation.

In a sense, the way they get along is somewhat similar to that of Rebecca and Pira, the brother and sister who are enemies.

The attention returned to Lin Qiao Lin Qiao.

"But even if you say that, my current situation has not changed at all."

V looked very depressed. Even though he understood that Takemura had deceived him, some things would not change.

Pointing to his temple, he said: "The chip is still in my body. The rock kid who blew up Arasaka Tower half a century ago is yelling in my ear every day. The only person who can save me is still... huh?"

Looking at Lin Qiao, who was sitting opposite him, leaning on the sofa with one hand supporting her head, with a playful look on her face, v stopped talking halfway.

Somewhat uncertainly, "Can you... take out the relic chip?"

Lin Qiao spread her hands: "I don't think I ever said no."

"..."

Come to think of it, this guy only said that if he took her out violently, she would die right on the spot, but as for whether she could be taken out...

It seems that there really isn't.

But on the other hand, V is not incapable of understanding the other party's actions.

"You didn't tell me before because you were worried about what Takemura would do?"
