The Villain Knight Doesn't Want to Be a Hero

One of them was a dark-skinned blonde woman wearing round glasses and looking as heroic as a man. After she crawled out, he couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.

--Thanks

The other person's lips seemed to utter these words.

But the next second it turned into ashes under the sunlight.

It seemed that as his strength weakened, his control over the Dead River also declined.

Those humans who were absorbed by Marshall but were already strong-willed were the first to break free from his Dead River control.

However, to be on the safe side, Lin Qiao had to watch with his own eyes the complete death of this vampire and his transformation into the ashes of the universe.

Chapter 403 Welcome back, and...goodbye (4.7k)

Time jumps to about two months later.

Night City...well, it's still Night City.

Although a lot of noise has occurred, there have been some changes in the city. For example, housing prices have dropped a lot, and ordinary people can finally afford to buy houses. These are relatively good changes.

But overall it is not much different from before.

A small stand-alone clinic in Haywood, or more accurately, a former clinic.

After a major fire and explosion two months ago, this almost dangerous building was simply renovated and rebuilt.

But having said that, from the outside, it looks no different from before.

Even the careless sign that used to hang above the door was restored intact...but the "Closed for Business" sign hanging on the door was a bit eye-catching.

....Although it wasn’t very popular before and wasn’t doing much business.

"So, I am a living legend in Night City after all, okay? Do you really feel comfortable letting a living legend wash the dishes?"

Standing in front of the kitchen faucet, facing the sink with greasy plates and bowls still on it.

Rebecca complained loudly to Lucy who was lying on the sofa watching TV.

"What does it matter? Anyway, another legend has dredged the sewer. Isn't that good for you?"

Lucy replied indifferently.

At the same time, V, who was settling accounts with the Voodoo Gang in Taiping Island with Jack, sneezed.

"....I remember you said you wanted me to be a nurse? Why do I feel more like a nanny?"

No, it should be said that it is absolutely right!

"There's nothing I can do. The only person here who can heal people is currently floating in outer space. Even if I want to open the business, there's nothing I can do."

"And wasn't it you who took the initiative to come here?"

Lucy yawned lazily and grabbed a handful of snacks on the coffee table to fill her stomach.

However, her indifferent attitude made Rebecca raise her eyebrows.

Should I say that he is worthy of having followed Lin Qiao since childhood?

This feeling...is so familiar.

"Come to think of it, when I met David before, he asked me to bring you something."

After washing the dishes, Rebecca seemed to remember something and took out four exquisitely shaped things that looked like greeting cards from her coat pocket.

Judging from the handwriting above, it should have been written by him personally.

"invitation?"

"Well, he and Xiao Yao are getting married on the 6th of next month. The venue is the Wild Wolf Bar...but they won't invite that many people."

After all, he is a mercenary. Even if he has retired, it is better to be low-key about revealing his family background. It will be enough to ask a few acquaintances with whom he has a good relationship.

....But even so, Gloria, as his mother, has been very busy recently. She whispers something in David's ear almost every day, which makes the former very troubled.

"What about Mainin? Are they going too?"

"Who knows? Although David has sent him a message, I heard that there is a revolution against Soviet revisionism in the Soviet Union. The airport and other places are blocked. He and Dolly won't be able to come back for a while."

At this point, Rebecca shrugged helplessly.

Ever since they finished that big biotechnology deal, they each received the 5 million euros that Lin Qiao had promised them, and suddenly they had no goals to strive for in life.

This money is enough for them to spend until the end of their lives.

Therefore, shortly after receiving the money, Maine and Dolio held a farewell party and moved out of Night City.

There are too many people here who have grudges against them, so it would be difficult for them to live a stable life if they stay.

And they could also go to other places to spend some time alone... And when they went to the Soviet Union, they happened to encounter a revolution there, and it might be difficult for them to come back now.

Falco and Qiwei are similar.

After both of them had some free time to live their own lives, the already ambiguous relationship between the two made considerable progress.

Jack has been trying to persuade his mother, hoping that she can accept Misty and that the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will not be so strained in the future... From the looks of it, it will take some time before this can happen.

v.....v is still the living devil.

However, after completing the main quest, this guy started clearing the question marks on the map.

Then there is her good brother Pila.

After a month-long waist massage at Niuniu Street, where I was squeezed dry, I finally had some peace and quiet for a while.

But it was just quiet for a while.

Then he asked his girlfriend, whom he met in the Mox Gang, to come to his house for parties every day.

——This is also the reason why Rebecca chose to move out to find Lucy and the others.

Being too idle was one reason, but the main reason was that if she stayed any longer she was afraid she would not be able to resist shooting that person!

"If that's the case, then I might as well just go and pick up Man Yin and the others."

Sasha, wearing pink pajamas, came down from upstairs, and the two people present greeted her good morning.

There is a vulnerability gun that can be copied based on the smoke gun, so it is not difficult to do this.

"By the way, how was it going to Europe?"

Lying on her side on the sofa, Lucy looked at Sasha who was drinking from the bottle of vodka early in the morning.

"Phew, it's okay. At least I feel better now that everything is resolved."

Putting down the iced vodka in his hand, Sasha answered with a flushed face, looking like he was in a very good mood.

She came back at midnight yesterday.

Strictly speaking, she didn't go to Europe for tourism in the conventional sense, and she hardly saw any scenery - but there wasn't anything to see anyway.

Due to severe pollution, the natural environment in Europe is not much better than here.

There is even a surge in refugees due to the continued melting of the poles and rising sea levels.

Despite this, Sasha felt that the trip to Europe was well worth it.

After all, the place she went to was actually the headquarters of biotechnology.

——Biotechnology is going to die.

The reason was not as simple and brutal as Sasha shooting the senior directors in the head one by one.

In an operation two months ago, after Sasha and his team seized a large amount of confidential internal intelligence, Lai Xuan simply announced it all, causing the stock price to plummet.

What can internal confidential documents of biotechnology contain?

Nothing.

Apart from concealing the side effects of some of their own drugs, such as painkillers that cause nerve degeneration, they simply use the name of free vaccinations to secretly conduct human experiments.

If only one or two competing companies knew about this, it would be fine. They would just give up some profits and give the other party some warnings or something.

But the bad thing is, everyone knows about this...and they have evidence!

The principle of kicking a fallen dog hard is universal across the world.

Although biotechnology has not yet declared bankruptcy, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is only a matter of time.

In fact, it's not just one biotech that's going to fail these days.

[....After armed riots broke out in France, Japan, Dubai and other regions, the situation in the world continues to escalate, and rioters appeared in the Soviet Union and the United Kingdom today. ]

[At the same time, as conflicts among major companies have become increasingly apparent in recent days, the global economic market has rapidly declined, and stock markets in various countries are wailing. ]

[According to professional estimates, if the situation does not improve, a once-in-a-century economic crisis is expected to occur worldwide. ]

The news on TV is still being broadcast.

Due to the suicidal financial attack launched by Arasaka, the world's largest company, under the leadership of Yorimoto, all the super companies in the world are currently in a bad situation.

At one time, many companies declared bankruptcy.

——But having said that, it is still far from enough to just do this to change the chaos in this world.

Those super companies, especially those in Europe, are much more confident than companies in other regions. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are hidden bosses.

It's not something that can be done in a short period of time.

And all Arasaka can do is drag all the companies to hell...Arasaka cannot establish a correct order.

Otherwise, it would only create a situation where one company dominates and completely monopolizes the market.

On the global map behind the host, many areas have been marked in red to symbolize danger, and people are advised to avoid these areas as much as possible.

But does the red color really symbolize danger?

Or is this danger only to certain people?

But what is certain is that in these red areas, there are definitely a lot of people hanging on the street lights.

The revolutionary fire ignited by Yoshinobu, with Arasaka Corporation as a shield and people with lofty ideals from all over the world serving as fuel, is now burning fiercely in various parts of the world.

No one knows when this fire will stop or when it will be put out.

But there is no doubt that this fire that ignited the world is definitely much brighter than the light emitted by a nuclear bomb... and it can also burn to death more insects that suck blood from people.

Hey!

Lucy pressed the remote control to turn off the TV.

Having said that, this has nothing to do with them anymore.

She and Sasha have completely withdrawn from Arasaka, and the special operations team once established by Saburo Arasaka has also been disbanded.

Unless Lai Xuan can't stand it anymore and comes to call for help, the two of them will be complete spectators.

At the same time, all the information related to the Knight System and Vampires, as well as the remains of Mina Harker seized from Biotechnology, have been completely destroyed.

In Lai Xuan's words, humans do not yet have the strength and mentality to control these things.

In that case, just out of sight and out of mind.

At this moment, the door of the clinic was opened from the outside.

A girl with gray hair stood at the door.

"that....."

Before she could speak, Sasha put down the vodka in his hand, cleared his throat, and said in a tone of contempt:

"Oh~oh~oh~, look who's here? Let's give a big round of applause to welcome the young lion of Xingtela, the daughter of the White Wolf - Bai Ge!"

“…”

What the hell is this title?

Ciri, who had just walked in, had a frozen expression on her face. Although in her world, everyone seemed to use a similar tone when introducing important people, but... she always felt that something was not right.

Also, what does "give it for free" mean?

"So you're not going back?"

What we are talking about here is naturally returning to Ciri's own world.

However, since Rebecca was there, in order to avoid the trouble of explanation, he didn't say it explicitly.
