In Night City, I was picked up by a female V

Although the Tiger Claw Gang paid a heavier price.

But Bai Rui felt it was not worth it.

No matter how great the victory is, those disappeared faces will never come back.

Death is such a sad thing. It is burned into ashes coldly, and says goodbye to everything.

A funeral for more than thirty people.

Held one by one.

Bai Rui has been dealing with death these days.

Looking at the gray figure, I said goodbye in silence.

These faces are all retired soldiers. The battlefield let them down, but it did not let them die. They died at Bai Rui's hands.

Among the dead there were some young men in their teens.

They were full of enthusiasm and thought they were doing something big.

But the final outcome was to become a handful of ashes in the urn.

Many of the dead people had no family members.

Only their hive companions saw them off for the final time.

They live so lonely and numb that they die alone.

......

"Charles, a strong and enthusiastic man, is our reliable partner. He served in the army and always took care of his partners on the battlefield. I hope his enthusiastic soul can reach heaven and be spared from the sufferings of this world..."

On the stage, Dr. Victor was presiding over the farewell ceremony. Below him were rows of chairs filled with members of the Beehive, who were dressed in black and had solemn expressions.

The depressing atmosphere and the memories in his mind made Bai Rui unable to control himself, and the tears that flowed blurred his vision.

"Sorry, I need to go out for a moment."

Bai Rui wiped his tears, got up from the chair and left.

"Bai Rui..."

V beside him murmured.

"Go catch up with her."

Jack on the side leaned sideways and spoke to V in a low voice.

"Ah."

V nodded, stood up quietly, and ran after the seated person.

The terrace on the second floor of the funeral home.

The wind blew on my face, and all I could see was the dilapidated streets below.

Bai Rui leaned on the railing with his eyebrows lowered.

death.

Despite facing it again and again, she still couldn't adapt.

It was pitch black, not even a sound could be uttered, and time seemed to have stood still.

This is Bai Rui's imagination of death.

Organisms are still too fragile.

So easily, all traces of your existence in this world can be lost.

Bai Rui clenched his teeth, unable to suppress the sadness and indignation rising in his heart.

No matter who or what created life, it's just not fair.

In the past, it could be said that everyone was equal in the face of death.

Those guys who are so arrogant and look down on everyone will still die like the mortals they despise.

They are not some noble, transcendent creatures.

but now.

Those beasts in human skin in the company can easily live for more than a hundred years with the help of advanced medical and prosthetic technology.

Even the emergence of technology like relic has made it possible for those who ride on the shoulders of the common people to achieve eternal life.

And what exactly did those people who died in the Hive do wrong?

They live enthusiastically and do not fall into the animality and morality within.

They didn't join gangs or spend their time addicted to drugs.

All they want here is a normal job and a normal life.

But this city, this world cannot even accommodate such a small wish.

His.

why.

In the final analysis, no doctrine or theory can save the world.

This world has gone too far down the wrong path.

It's hard to return.

Bai Rui became more determined in his idea.

Human beings are imperfect creatures.

She will change this fact.

Only by completely destroying the old world can we build heaven on earth on the ruins.

She has this system that can't be explained by any science.

She was chosen.

She is God's punishment.

Only those chosen by her can board the ark of the future world in the catastrophe.

A new world where machines and flesh merge and she dominates.

To do this, she will use all the power she can.

......

"Do you need a tissue?"

Naoko's grey windbreaker, with sunglasses covering her eyes, rustled in the breeze.

She leaned against the railing and handed Bai Rui a tissue.

"Thanks, it's not needed anymore."

Bai Rui was not surprised.

She had already discovered this person from Arasaka Corporation.

"I remember you said you wanted to talk to me about something. Now is the right time."

Naoko took her hand back and tucked the hair that was blown by the wind behind her ears.

"The people behind me want to know everything about this thing."

Naoko pulled out a PDA from her windbreaker pocket and handed it over.

Bai Rui took the PDA and swiped the screen.

As the screen kept sliding, the PDA displayed pictures of Johnny Silverhand, all of which were screenshots taken by surveillance cameras.

Ah.

Bai Rui laughed disdainfully.

That's really the company's style.

Corporations are such assholes, they are so high and mighty and don't care about the ordinary people on the street at all.

Perhaps in their eyes, the people on the street are nothing more than losers in the competition, two-legged livestock irrigated by their products.

But it's like you've emerged and have the power to threaten the company.

When the company's eyes are lowered, there are only two outcomes for those who are noticed: being crushed forcefully or kneeling down like a dog.

If they want to get rid of the current hive, maybe Arasaka Corporation only needs to send out a dozen elite agents to do it.

And now that the other party is being so hypocritically polite, there is only one explanation.

You have something the company wants to know.

And now, she knew that Arasaka Corporation wanted to know why Johnny, who should have died and had his consciousness harvested fifty years ago, appeared on the street for no reason.

"Yes, you probably guessed it, and now congratulations, you guessed it right."

"Johnny Silverhand has indeed been resurrected."

"I am the one who resurrected him."

"I can resurrect a bunch of garbage data in the relic chip into a human being."

Although she already had some guesses in her mind, Naoko couldn't help breathing heavily when she heard that someone could really revive the consciousness in the relic chip.

As Lai Xuan's confidant, she knew more than other employees.

Knowing how much Arasaka Corporation paid in exploring the relic immortality plan, and that it has not succeeded yet.

It has been stuck at the last step for decades.

Perfectly revive the harvested consciousness data.

But now, the person in front of her openly admitted that she had completed the last step.

While she was shocked, Naoko knew that her mission was accomplished.

"The people behind me want to meet you in person, and your product - Johnny Silverhand."

"No problem, but I have a request too."

"what?"

Naoko frowned, obviously not expecting that Bai Rui in front of her would dare to negotiate with her as a company employee.

"any request?"

"I want to know who sent you."

Naoko pondered for a while, not knowing whether she was judging the gains and losses or contacting others privately.

"can."

After a few seconds of stalemate, Naoko spoke.

"The person you are about to meet is the current president of Arasaka Corporation, Lord Arasaka Yorinobu himself."

"Ah."

Bai Rui couldn't help but reveal a sarcastic smile on his face.

She knew it.

Chapter 294 Honeycomb technology, shocking!

Naoko walked away in her high heels and met V, who was leaning against the wall with his hands folded, at the corner.

Naoko nodded and walked down the stairs under V's scrutinizing gaze.

V was in a solemn mood. He followed Naoko for a while before turning and walking towards Bai Rui.
