People are in cyberpunk, but they are top-level cyberpsychopaths

Although she still couldn't understand David's actions, she chose to go over.

Then, as she watched, the freezer was opened.

At the same time, Johnny Silverhand's voice seemed to echo in David's ears.

"There's a saying I know better than my own name: Never open a stranger's freezer. The best case scenario is you'll find a half-gallon of spoiled milk, and the worst is—"

Just like now, there is a dead body lying inside.

It was the legendary hacker that Lucy praised, the one that Johnny Silverhand mentioned as "Fuck you".

"This is...?"

"This is the ancestor of cyber hackers you mentioned, the first person to create the puppet, Lachi Batmos."

"You said... this person is Lachi Batmos?!!!"

Lucy's eyes were filled with disbelief.

However, what she found even more unbelievable than the body of Lachie Batmos was that David actually knew where this man's body was.

What exactly is going on?

However, David's subsequent behavior made her even more puzzled.

"What are you doing?"

"Well, you'll know in a minute."

David reached into the freezer, frowned, and turned the body over, as if he was looking for something on the body.

While searching, he muttered: "Tsk, where did it go? I remember it was right here..."

Fortunately, the freezer is still using a small amount of power to keep the body fresh, otherwise the smell or appearance would be too unpleasant.

But even so, there is still an unpleasant smell rushing into the nose.

Finally, he found what he was looking for.

He took the little thing out and waved it in front of Lucy's eyes.

"This is for you. It was once the network warehouse of Lachi Bartmos. It is the "Alicera" produced by SGI Technology. It is the best network warehouse of its kind. Although it has been scrapped due to years of disrepair, it was used by Lachi Bartmos after all. Take it as a souvenir."

As he spoke, he handed the small network compartment forward.

But Lucy frowned and took two steps back.

"I do not want."

"Eh? Why?"

"It smells like a corpse, and I don't worship Lucky Batmos."

"Ah this..."

David froze in place, his eyes twitching constantly.

Why don't you play by the rules?!

Seriously, don't all hackers idolize Lachie Batmos?

Why is Lucy so different?

And what on earth was it for which I spent so much effort? !

However, seeing his look, Lucy's expression suddenly changed. She stretched out two slender fingers and gently pinched the unearthed artifact in his hand that had been there for half a century.

"But since you found it specially for me, I will accept it with reluctance." Lucy said with a sweet smile.

"..."

David looked at Lucy speechlessly.

"Okay, whatever you want. You've ruined the script I prepared."

"Hmm~ What script?"

"It's nothing. I just want to tell you that the meaning of giving you this cyber warehouse is very simple. It represents my determination to destroy Arasaka." David said helplessly.

However, just as he finished saying this, he was suddenly hugged.

It was Lucy, hugging him.

"Thank you for everything you have done for me."

"but..."

"Please don't do that David, please, don't try to provoke the company, I don't want anything to happen to you."

He had been prepared for Lucy's reaction. He reached out and gently stroked Lucy's back and said:

"Don't worry, I've already said that I won't die, and...dealing with Arasaka has long been my goal."

At the very least, we can get rid of that bastard Saburo Arasaka.

In the true sense of the word.

Find a way to smash the mikoshi so that the soul mark of Arasaka Saburo has nowhere to hide.

But before that, a lot of preparation work is needed...

PS: Sorry, I got up late again....

As for the subsequent parts, I plan to find a way to connect with 2077.

It's not the end of Edgewalker, there's still a lot of content...

It’s just that the ending seemed not handled well, and it felt a little awkward.

72. Arasaka's Big Move (6.5K)

In the next few days, David was able to live in peace.

He didn't show up at the Terrorist Squad either. He just accompanied Lucy around every day to enjoy the glamorous scene of Night City.

Every night, Lucy would take advantage of his inattention or find various excuses to go out.

He naturally knew the reason, but he had no intention of stopping it.

If you want to do it, just go for it.

No matter what happens, he will help Lucy. What's more, the Arasaka Company in Night City is just a pile of waste without those big guys.

These guys are so exhausted from dealing with military technology that they don't have time to care about Lucy.

What's more, without V's counterintelligence department and Adam Hammer's security department, there would be no trouble at all.

It's not that I look down on them, it's just the fact.

However, there was one thing that bothered him a lot, that was that neither Qiwei nor Faraday came to disturb him again after that day.

Just when people thought Faraday had given up, a piece of news suddenly piqued his interest.

"Welcome to News 54, bringing you local news now."

"Last night, a horrific shooting incident occurred in the Arasaka Industrial Park, in which project manager Evans was shot and killed..."

"Wow, Faraday finally took action."

Watching the bloody scenes on the news on TV, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

I originally thought that Faraday would give up or try to persuade me in another way, but I didn't expect that this guy would choose to find someone else to do it.

Just to find that so-called data.

Only by holding those data in his hands can he have the bargaining chips to continue negotiating and cooperating with Military Technology.

After all, Faraday is just a nobody.

Likewise, Arasaka's counterintelligence department is also analyzing the clues at hand.

"We were underestimated for openly murdering people within the Arasaka precinct."

"That's a laboratory that mainly studies how to counter military technology."

Inside the building marked with a circular trefoil logo.

A man and a woman were in a small and narrow space, analyzing the information on the screen.

【arasaka】

Arasaka Corporation.

A super giant with a market value of 8900 billion euros and more than 595000 employees.

And this is the counterintelligence department of Night City's Arasaka branch.

The man and woman here are agents of Night City’s counterintelligence department, and are also employees who hold some power.

After Tanaka's death, they took over the current Arasaka branch in Night City.

As the saying goes, when there is no tiger in the mountain, the monkey becomes king. Without the big boss, any small fish or shrimp dares to take the throne and call the shots.

"So, it should be related to the cyber hacker who killed Jamie and Marcus?" the woman made her guess.

"No...Manager Evans was also shot. That poor guy had his head blown off by a bullet from that group of people. But the cleanup at the scene was very crude. I dare say it wasn't done by the same hacker."

The man is calling up three pictures.

The first two pictures are of Jamie and Marcus having their heads burned off by cyber hackers.

The third picture was indeed a bloody mess, with almost nothing left of the head except for a little bit of skin.

The office was repainted with blood splattered everywhere.

Such a crude method is definitely not done by a cyber hacker. It is obviously the work of a newcomer.

"Yes, that's true." After comparing, the woman nodded seriously in agreement: "Arresting cyber hackers is the primary goal. They are too dangerous."

"But we don't know their motives." The man shook his head regretfully: "I can't find any clues. This is not the work of ordinary cyber hackers."

The man's vision and experience are pretty good.

This clean and efficient method is definitely not something that an ordinary hacker can do.

But it is not entirely correct to say that I don't know the motive.

Because ever since Tanaka's death, their network hackers have been targeted since they tried to recover the shattered experimental data.

And they kept getting killed.

But they didn't think about it that way at all, believing that it was just some trick played on them by the hostile company's military technology.

"How dare they mess with our Arasaka Counterintelligence Department..." The woman's voice was filled with dissatisfaction and disdain, and she sneered, "It seems that we have to take a long way to find the whereabouts of this cyber hacker."

"Are we going to get involved in Evans' case?"

"Yes." The woman nodded: "Although these are two independent cases, we may be able to find clues that intersect..."
