Although Akechi Mitsuhide might be crippled because of this, he could also ensure that he could drag Takemura down with him.
Even if you die, you must kill those self-righteous guys. This is also the spirit represented by the "Water-colored Kikyo" family emblem on Mitsuhide's chest.
So, in response to Takemura's threat, Mitsuhide just snorted coldly.
"If you ask me, you're just an idiot."
"Arasaka Saburo is dead and no longer exists. You are free now. Why don't you embrace your new life instead of holding on to this tyrant?"
This is also something that Bai Rui doesn’t understand.
Does Goro Takemura have to be a loyal dog of the Arasaka family? Saburo Arasaka is already dead, and Takemura has now regained his freedom and is no longer an asset of the company.
Bai Rui had also heard that some hackers had the technology to launder the prosthetic bodies of escaped corporate bosses. All Goro Takemura needed to do was launder his own prosthetic body and restart it.
With his own abilities, he can go anywhere in the world. Why is he so anxious to go back to Arasaka Corporation and work as a dog for others?
The weak are forced to obey the strong. Although they are submissive, they still have some anger. However, the situation is pressing and they cannot express it.
But being a physical slave is at least better than being a spiritual slave. If you regard yourself as a slave spiritually, your knees will be rooted to the ground, and you will never be able to stand up again for generations.
Therefore, Bai Rui looked down on Goro Takemura.
This guy is just an Arasaka slave who has never tasted freedom and cannot understand the taste of freedom. Although he is powerful, it is difficult for him to respect him.
After all, if you treat yourself as a tool, how can others respect a tool?
"Tyrant? No..."
In response to Akechi Mitsuhide's argument, Takemura Goro shook his head with a stern face.
"You people on the street have a huge misunderstanding of Arasaka-sama."
"Besides, people must have their own dignity, and for me, loyalty is the greatest dignity."
"Your name is Mitsuhide Akechi, a name I recognize from history classes."
"He is a samurai. A samurai should be loyal. You, who use the name of a samurai, shouldn't you understand this?"
In response to Takemura's argument, Mitsuhide could only laugh.
"A samurai's sword should be wielded for himself, just as a person's will should be controlled by himself. Secular morality is just the prejudice of the vulgar, and a true samurai is to break this."
"You should understand that Saburo Arasaka's death will only make this world a better place."
In this world where life expectancy is monopolized by big companies, tyrants in the past, no matter how powerful they were, could only live for a hundred years. But in this cyber world, with the help of advanced medical technology, tyrants can live for two or three centuries.
Not to mention that this guy Saburo Arasaka is pursuing eternal rule, if he really succeeds.
This world will usher in an eternal doomsday.
This situation forces those with free will to fight. In this desperate world, there will no longer be historical cycles, and not fighting means eternal slavery.
There was a huge gap in the conversation between the two.
All I can say is that every word spoken by people with different world views seems to be challenging the other's bottom line, even if they all believe that what they say is the truth.
Where Bai Rui saw slavery, Takemura saw the order that the company brought.
There is no compromise between free will and the tyrant's loyalty.
"I advise you not to waste your efforts on me. If you want to defeat Lai Xuan, find another way on your own. There is no way I will go along with someone like you."
"...I'll come find you again."
After hearing what Mitsuhide said, Takemura was silent for a while. Just when Mitsuhide thought a fight was about to start, Takemura turned and left.
But he left.
The sensor had lost any trace of Takemura, and only then did Bai Rui breathe a sigh of relief.
Forget it, no matter what the other party does, it has nothing to do with him.
Moreover, she didn't think that Goro Takemura alone could shake Arasaka Yorinobu.
After all, that guy is not someone who can be underestimated.
Thinking of this, Bai Rui stopped pestering him. She could finally manipulate Mitsuhide to do what needed to be done.
This place is near the "next life", and Bai Rui's goal is also the "next life".
She needed to go find Roger.
It's for the relic chip, and also for her big plan.
After all, her plan was not as simple as reviving Johnny Silverhand.
Chapter 121 What happened to you in Night City!!!
"I need to find someone."
In the "Afterlife" bar, Mitsuhide was face to face with Roger.
The security guard at the side looked at this strange man very nervously, with his hands on his waist, ready to draw his gun if something went wrong, but Rogge was very calm. He just glanced at him and focused his attention on what the other person said.
"Are you from the Beehive?"
Mitsuhide had introduced himself earlier, otherwise the security guard would not have let him in.
"Yes, my boss told me something and I have to ask you for your advice."
Bai Rui has used this method of pretending to be a good actor many times and he is very adept at it.
"Since you are here to discuss business, then sit down and talk."
Roger didn't say much, just motioned for Mitsuhide to continue.
In this Night City, no one can resist money. Now that the other party's identity has been confirmed, let's talk business.
The so-called money, isn't it just flowing from here to there, and then from there to here?
"I need to find someone, Anders Hellmann."
Bai Rui manipulated Mitsuhide to continue speaking.
Anders Hellmann, that's her next target.
The relic chip containing Johnny Silverhand is already in Bai Rui's hands, but with just a relic chip, Bai Rui can only understand part of the principle at most, but he still feels powerless about how to package and upload human consciousness.
The most crucial thing is that she lacks the "Soul Killer" program developed by Johnny Silverhand's girlfriend Otto Cunningham.
Anders Heilmann is the project director of the Relic chip, Arasaka's chief bioengineer, and a neural network expert with many breakthrough patents.
In the game, the information about this person was revealed by Goro Takemura, who saved V and wanted to cooperate with him. Bai Rui remembered this name and also remembered this person.
If you want to replicate the process of "Soul Killer" uploading consciousness, then it might be more helpful to find the development director of this relic chip.
"...Here is the information you want. Pay the money and we'll deliver the goods."
"Afterlife" is worthy of being the hub of Night City's underground world. Not long after Guang Xiu provided this name, something containing Anders Hellman's information was already on the table.
"The money has been transferred."
"Um......"
The money was exchanged for the goods, and both parties were very happy.
Roger didn't ask why Bai Rui's men were tracking down such a person, nor did he intend to ask.
For those in their line of work, the rule is to control their mouths and curiosity. They don't ask questions that they shouldn't ask, and don't say things that they shouldn't say. As long as the customers give them money and they provide the information, it's all over. It's that simple.
But rules, rules, rules only apply to the strong. There are many deals where some guys who don't know their own limitations try to trick them into committing suicide.
Well, if you want to survive here, you have to follow the rules, but you can't follow them completely.
The standard is, as long as you are not dead, it means you are doing well.
Mitsuhide inserted the intelligence chip handed to him by Roger into his brain and began to watch.
Anders Hermann is a smart man, perhaps even a smart German. After all, the other party's surname, Hermann, is a typical German surname.
This guy is considered an executive of Arasaka Corporation and has been in charge of the relic chip project. Considering the real purpose of the relic chip for Saburo Arasaka, it is clear that Anders is not only good at technology, but also deeply trusted by Saburo Arasaka.
However, it was this person who defected from Arasaka Corporation on the eve of the Blue Sky Building incident.
This kind of person's defection is certainly not a hasty act made under the influence of a hot-headed mind. In fact, after this guy defected, it was as if he had burrowed into the ground and completely disappeared from the face of the earth.
The Arasaka Corporation is currently in the process of being cleansed and reorganized by Arasaka Yorinobu, and does not have much energy to hunt down Anders.
But unfortunately, in the game, V, who wanted to survive, found this guy, and in reality, Bai Rui, a little ambitious man, also set his sights on this guy.
Anders may have hidden very deeply, but he was still found out by the old hunters under Rogge.
Kang Tao, this guy hid in Kang Tao Company after escaping from Arasaka Company. To be precise, it was Kang Tao Company's subsidiary, Sentai Company. Yes, it was the company that developed the "Sentai Type 4" Sian Westin.
Kangtao Company naturally attaches great importance to such a talent and is planning to encrypt and package this guy and send him out of Night City, and maybe send him to their headquarters to work later.
But unfortunately, Bai Rui didn't want to let this guy leave.
"...This is the next escort route for the Kangtao Company's convoy."
Anders Hermann in a lone hovercraft, preparing to leave Night City.
Of course, this is also Bai Rui's opportunity. If this guy hides in the basement of Contao Tower, it will be difficult to find him unless a nuclear bomb is used to clear the way.
So unfortunately, since he is planning to leave Night City just like in the game plot, don't blame Master Bai for not giving him face.
What's wrong with Night City? How can you just run around like that?
I have to catch you back.
Just like in the game, Rogge also gave his own suggestions to the Cantao team.
It is difficult to attack a hovercraft in the airspace of Night City. After all, if you dare to attack a hovercraft with the highest security level of a company here, dozens of rapid-fire missiles will be fired at you in the next second.
Night City is rotten, but when it comes to company issues, the other party is not an easy one to deal with.
They are sincere to the company.
So, just like in the game plot, Rogge suggested starting at Jackson Plains, far away from the city.
"Very good, then start here."
Mitsuhide nodded in agreement.
Since the time points in reality and the game are different, there is still a week before Anders leaves Night City, so it is not so urgent. Bai Rui is confident that he has time to arrange everything well.
Although the company's armed hovercraft is difficult to deal with, she is no pushover.
When the time comes, she will have to perform a "Black Hawk Down".
However, although Bai Rui was confident that she could handle the problem with the "Beehive", she had other ideas.
Because she has always cared about one person, that is Panam Palmer, the grumpy wanderer girl who is known as the wife of male V in the game, and the leader of the Adecado wanderer family in the future.
Well, there are a lot of bad guys and scum in Night City, but V has really met a few reliable brothers and sisters in the game, and Panam is one of them.
She has a hot body and a bad temper, just like her opponent's homeless background.
Bai Rui and V are also from wanderer families. They are from the Buckle family, and Panam is from the Adecado family. The Adecado family has recently been stationed in the wilderness of Night City, doing some odd jobs for a biotech company to make a living.
It is worth noting that not everyone likes to deal with companies. Not only are the residents of Night City hostile to companies, but many wanderers are also hostile to them.
And Panam is one of those guys who is unhappy with Adecado's decision-making for the company.
The current leader of the Adecado wanderer family is Thor. His name is Thor and he looks similar to the god of thunder. He is a very strange man. He is big and strong, and he eats three children with every meal. But he is surprisingly conservative.
After succeeding as leader, he led the Adecado tribe to Night City and promised clean food and water to the tribe members.
But there is always a big gap between dreams and reality.
They did arrive at the wasteland of Night City, and a company assigned them some work, mainly repairing the solar collectors that looked like big sunflowers.
However, there is no such thing as clean food and water. After all, the tribal people are still exposed to the wind and eating sand in the wild, which is no different from anywhere else.
Most importantly, many Adecados believe that Thor has lost what is most precious to them: the nomadic spirit that says no to an unjust order and self-righteous big corporations.
Panam was one of them, so after she broke up with Thor, she left the tribe and came to Night City as a mercenary.
But Bai Rui had a keen eye and knew what this hot-tempered girl would achieve in the future, becoming the leader of the Adecardo family.
Homeless people may not be Night City's biggest concern, but they are definitely on the list of issues that pose a serious threat to the city. After all, these tough homeless people are a constant source of trouble for transportation routes.
