When she said this, she took a sneaky look at Luo Qi.

Although this is a necessary process and it should be taken for granted, she is still a little apprehensive.

With a sound of "beep beep ding ding", V withdrew his hand.

"Everything is fine, have a nice day and see you...bye."

The tone he tried to maintain finally broke down.

"Let's go." Jack swaggered ahead, seeming to have adapted to this environment, "What do you think, Harry?"

"Huh?" V wondered.

"Upscale, comfortable. Not like the hotel we stayed at for our conference in Zurich."

Luo Qi felt that Jack was definitely talented in acting, and he couldn't stop him once he entered the state.

If the growth environment is good, maybe he can become a well-known comedian.

instead of...

Luo Qi's face, which had just been relieved for a while, became stiff again.

Sighing, walking on the road soaked in soothing light, surrounded by vibrant green leaves.

He thought he could bounce (literally) through this trip, but in the end he still overestimated his ability to withstand pressure.

Intensive cameras, meticulous security, smooth and flat building structure, what does it look like?

Like a tangled ball of yarn, there are sharp needles buried inside.

Like distorted rock music, like a cloud eagle soaring into the sky, and like a clear and dripping mountain spring.

The truck running on the boundless interstate smashed the fragile planet, fell into the glacier, and then crashed on the grassy plain.

"Hey, hey, Ro...Erwin."

Finally, V stretched out his hand, waved it in front of Luo Qi's eyes, and then pulled his soul back.

"what happened to you?"

"It's okay, I just thought of something." Luo Qi waved his hand.

Passing by the brightly lit bar, there is quite an emotional decoration inside - the lighting is provided by bright neon lights with gradients, and the depth and shallowness of the colors have a design aesthetic.The people who came and went were indeed well-dressed, but they didn't know how real their smiles were when they pushed the cups and changed the cups.

The lights are red, the wine is green, indeed the lights are red and the wine is green (literally).

Rocky smiled.

"Welcome to the Cyan Bi Building," said the waitress at the lounge, "We don't have reservations on weekdays, so you can choose any table that's available, or would you prefer a spot at the bar?"

"This bar looks good." Jack said, looking back at V and Luo Qi happily, "I can bring Misty someday. Wait for us, um... finish this order."

I glanced at the sofa area, and there was no "Xiaojima Hideyoshi" with his legs crossed.

"Don't worry, it will." Luo Qi said, "It will."

Suddenly, like a spring breeze overnight, thousands of trees and thousands of trees bloom.

After the screenwriter was sentenced to death in Luo Qi's heart for the thousand and first time, he patted Jack on the shoulder.

Walking into the elevator and seeing no one around, Jack began to yell.

"How about it, we wear suits too, hehehe, am I handsome?"

"Don't say it's okay, it looks good." After looking up and down, V said in surprise.

I didn't observe it carefully just now, but looking at it now, it really looks like that.

"That~ must. Me, a clothes rack, I look good in anything." Jack floated up.

"Virtue." Luo Qi finally laughed and pointed at him.

Walking out of the elevator, on the wall behind the counter, the documentary of Saburo Arasaka is playing on the TV. The black and white old pictures have a history of more than 100 years.

The winner and the loser, Saburo Arasaka succeeded. He inherited his father's last wish, carried it forward, and built a powerful empire.

So he is not the pilot who was shot down and disabled by the US military in World War II, but the emperor of the Arasaka Empire.

"Okay, here we are, the lapis lazuli suite."

Standing at the door, Jack sighed.

"It's so fashionable. It's a pity we can't stay overnight, good eyesight, Bug." Jack came in carrying the suitcase.

The extra-long walls are embedded with a luxurious landscape of aquariums, the wide view outside the window faces Arasaka port, the flat and soft carpet, the exquisite and tidy interior decoration, it has been confirmed that it is a sky-high price suite that the three of them cannot afford.

"I didn't choose her for fashion, this is the fastest way to the network administrator and server." T-bug said.

"Yes, yes, I remember." Jack was speechless.

Xiaopingtou (spider-shaped combat machine) nimbly crawled out of the box and entered the debugging state.

"The vent is here." Luo Qi kicked a board in the corner naturally.

"Excuse me, this look is better than Forks." Jack said in surprise.

It's a pity that the sky didn't work out, the small flat head in the automatic mode got stuck in the ventilation duct, and the V had to switch to manual control.

V, who was connected to the perspective of the camera in each room, was a little dizzy. Luo Qi supported him and took him to the sofa to sit down.

"V, tell me what happened in each room next, I'll be useful." Luo Qi said.

"Don't waste time, we need to hurry." T-Bug objected.

"No, T-Bug." Luo Qi pressed the Bluetooth headset, "This may be very important."

"Well, okay, in this case, hurry up." T-Bug compromised.

Delaying time represents increased danger and uncertainty. This is a fact that no one is willing to face, including Luo Qi, but he has this reason.

"A naked sex doll, and a guest she can't wait for," V relayed.

Camera switch.

"One guy who's flailing around and looking like he's arguing about something, and the other guy is just sitting and ignoring him."

Keep switching.

"OK, the vision is very clear." V said to T-Bug, but suddenly frowned, "Wait, these people..."

"You can't just drive the citizens out of your own home, your own work unit..." V continued to relay, "It's a fat man in a suit... I remember! He is the mayor of Night City, Lu Xiu Slane!"

"I... Fuck! That's him!" Luo Qi's eyes lit up, and he slapped the table, "Quick! T-Bug, help me turn the picture in, I need this!"

"Okay, but we have to discuss the next thing, don't make up your own mind." T-Bug operated, "Okay, have you received the signal?"

Luo Qi placed the PDA on the table, and a camera image appeared at this time, which was a slightly dark suite with the curtains drawn.

The structure is similar to the lapis lazuli suite they are in now. A chubby man with dark hair and sunglasses is the current mayor of Night City who often appears in the news, Lucius Lane!And on the sofa facing the camera was a bald man in a suit, rubbing his chin and thinking about something, that was Deputy Mayor Wilton Holt.

Two bodyguards stood at the door.

There are two men and women in suits with their backs to the camera, talking methodically with two big names from Night City.

"Arasaka will pay all compensation in full."

"It's not about money. There will be an election soon. What will others think of me?" the mayor said anxiously, pacing around with a cigarette, and finally sat down, "They will say, I can't even control Watson District Come on, I'm from here!"

"One week—we can only give you so much time." The deputy mayor spoke up.

"Let's try our best, I can only promise you so much." The woman who is like the Arasaka negotiator here sighed and reached an agreement.

Luo Qi opened his mouth, then swallowed with great difficulty.

"What's the matter?" Although Jack was very excited to see the secret transaction of the big man, Luo Qi's expression seemed a little ugly.

"The mayor's order to block Watson District is Arasaka's request." Luo Qi didn't answer him, muttering to him, immersed in his own thinking logic, "Arasaka wants to buy time, and his attitude is very firm. Care about compensation..."

He dropped the tablet in his hand, and his breath became short of breath.

"It's over!"

Chapter No.17 A Different Fate

"It's over? What's over?" Jack said in a daze.

"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, fuck you still can't catch up, shit!"

Luo Qi sat down resentfully, V also withdrew from the control, and cast him a questioning look with Jack.

"What's going on, Mano (brother), tell us quickly, you make me panic to death." Jack saw this, and was also anxious.

"..." Luo Qi raised his hand, took two deep breaths, shook it a few times, and then put his hand back.

"Arasaka... Arasaka... No, we can't mess up now."

Talking to himself, Luo Qi stood up, walked to the window, and hurriedly paced back and forth.

"Lucky, trust us, what have you found?"

V walked behind Luo Qi, pressed his shoulders, looked into his eyes sincerely, and said.

Jack also came over, frowning, his face full of sorrow.

"Watson District is blocked because of Arasaka." Luo Qi felt his throat tighten up, and forcibly suppressed the trembling in his heart, "Because Saburo Arasaka is coming, they must ensure safety."

Watson District, located in the northern part of Night City, is divided into four areas:

The small Chinatown where V and Luo Qi lived, the Kabuki district where T-Bug gave V a quick crack chip, the northern district with a large number of factories and facilities, and the luxurious Arasaka seaside.

Gang members are rampant here, but they dare not challenge Arasaka's authority.But Saburo Arasaka, the emperor, was coming, and the security level was calm on the surface, but secretly tense.

To be able to order the mayor of Night City to serve him is the weight of Saburo Arasaka.

"Saburo Arasaka? You mean that old monster who has lived for more than 100 years?" Jack's eyes were straightened, "Go, you're kidding haha."

However, Luo Qi didn't smile, but just looked at him like this.

"Ha, ha, ha..." Jack couldn't help laughing, "How is this possible?"

"That's right, that may not be the reason for the blockade of Watson District." V's expression also stiffened.

"The blockade of Watson District may be due to a riot or a coup d'etat. In short, anything is possible." Luo Qi pinched his temples and said while looking at the red plush on the stall, "However, Agent Arasaka and the mayor of the government have reached a secret meeting. Is it possible that the consensus is just such a trivial matter?"

"Depend on……"

T-Bug cursed in the communication, and she was a little persuaded by Luo Qi.

"Then shall we still steal that thing?" Jack hesitated, and now there are two paths before them.

One road is dangerous, an unchallengeable danger like standing on a wall; the other road is success, leading to prosperity and wealth, and becoming a legendary success.

The four of them fell silent for a while.

"It's not necessarily because of Saburo Arasaka, is it?" Jack still had a glimmer of hope.

"No, this is the only thing I'm sure about." Luo Qi looked out the window, standing there like a sculpture, "This is fate."

"Let's decide together." V broke the deadlock, "I choose to continue."

In his chest, there is a fiery heart.Perhaps this Night City has lost many things—beautiful emotions, precious memories, and the "used self" that will never return.

But V, a small candle, still hasn't been extinguished.

"I also choose to continue and take this gamble." T-Bug's voice became firmer, "This is our chance to completely resist this damn city."

In Night City, either be swallowed by it, or break out of the cage and stand higher or farther away.Instead of exploding in oppression, die in exploitation—Poetry and Yuanfang have been strangled to death in the cradle by capital, the last bit of hope, we can’t just see it fall into darkness like this.

"I...I..." Jack made a prayer posture, "We can wash our hands after we finish the fucking vote, you say yes, Lucky..."

He looked at Luo Qi's back weakly, smiled embarrassingly, and then looked at V, a little helpless.

"Arasaka..." Luo Qi stared at it for a long time, then slowly turned around, "You must know that Shao Ri Na Yunzhi was once the best in the world."

"Who said that? Aurelius? Aristotle?" Jack asked.

"Wu Qingdi comes from a mysterious country in the east." Luo Qi smiled lightly.

"What do you mean by that?"

"This is poetry." T-Bug complained, "I'm curious too."

"When I was young, I had the lofty ambition to be the top one." Luo Qi smiled and shook his head: "This is a poem written by an unhappy poet when he was 30 years old."
