Regina changed hands and told Luo Qi all the information she had obtained during this period.

Middlemen are not just intermediaries, they are also the top intelligence dealers in the city.Under normal circumstances, the more famous a middleman is, the more he will abide by his reputation, and he will never leak the customer's information.

But if they planned something unknown from the very beginning, then the information they collected would be gathered together, and then fermented into a new thing, changing a certain point in time. something-

Use Asuka to deal with Arasaka.

It's that simple.

It's almost a plan of Yangmou.

But under the packaging of Regina, everyone naively thought that she was just an absolutely neutral middleman.

It is said that the middleman is a bit of a person, maybe they are smiling on the surface, but in fact, within the interval of saying hello, they have already thought of three ways to sell you.

Luo Qi now has a deep understanding.

"In the government and companies, there are Asuka faction eyeliners who have provided confidential information more than once." This is Regina's inference based on the available information, "They are doing it very covertly, at least Arasaka has almost nothing to do with them. No reaction."

"However, it doesn't rule out the possibility that Arasaka is putting a long line to catch big fish."

Rocky nodded.

Although it is easy to get out without getting involved in the affairs of the Asuka faction, it is also difficult to get in touch with those more confidential parts, so that the current information is pitifully small.And this makes Regina and Max, who are used to dealing with intelligence, feel very tormented, because they really lack the sense of security to control the situation.

"One of the Asuka faction's targets is the head of Arasaka's legal department, Suga Yukatsu."

Regina opened Suga's intelligence file, which contained an extremely blurry three-dimensional upper body model.

Luo Qi thought it was not loaded, but later found out that this is the complete model.

"Suga Yukatsu is a very cautious person. He never acts without security and tries his best to avoid being exposed to the public in any form, especially the news media."

Seeing Luo Qi's doubts, Regina explained, "This is a sneak shot, hundreds of meters away from Suga Yukatsu himself. Even so, I only got a short clip that flashed by in a hurry. This is the best result that can be simulated."

Hearing this statement, Luo Qi refocused his eyes on this very ordinary man.

He doesn't have the majesty and domineering aura of a big boss, nor does he have the aura of not being angry and arrogant. He only has a slightly ill-fitting suit and a pair of eyes that are difficult to analyze.

"Suga Yukatsu..."

Luo Qi looked at this model with a typical Japanese appearance and fell into deep thought.

"Kenzo Fujii."

He said another name.

The first time I heard this name was from the mouth of a small leader of the Tiger Claw Gang called "Ji Chuan Ye".

His girlfriend, Riko Aso, is the daughter of Natsuko Aso, the marginal deputy minister of the Asuka faction in the Night City Government.

Because he heard something that shouldn't be heard, Riko Aso was mercilessly silenced by Kenzo Fujii. Even if he was the person in Arasaka who was in charge of connecting with the Tiger Claw Gang, Yoshikawano's pleadings did not change in the slightest. his thoughts.

Fujii Kenzo, at that time, had already become the enemy of the Asuka faction.

"Kenzo Fujii? He died peacefully and passed away happily."

When Regina saw Luo Qi say the name, she nodded and confidently told his fate.

Even if Aso Natsuko is a deputy minister with no real power, no matter how weak an official of the Asuka faction, he still has a way to deal with a murderer who killed his daughter, not to mention that the other party is a person from the deadly enemy Arasaka, it is not natural to pinch him.

Since the discovery of Yoshikawano, Luo Qi has stopped getting involved in this matter. Until now, this guy whose status is between Sugao Katsuki and Yoshikawano has silently disappeared from the public eye.

Soon, someone replaced his job and became the link and commander of Arasaka and Tiger Claw Gang again, but this time, no one from the Asuka faction wanted his life.

Asuka faction's attention also began to shift from personal grievances to Suga Yukatsu, an important figure in Arasaka.

"The person in charge of Arasaka's legal department, the Asuka faction has always wanted to get rid of him." Regina said with certainty, "All the previous work was to prepare for this purpose, and Fujii Kenzo was just incidental."

As she spoke, she stopped deliberately and looked at Luo Qi: "Do you know why?"

Luo Qi was still thinking about this question. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and looked at her, then folded his hands on his chest, frowned slightly, and looked at the Japanese street on the other side, neither in a hurry nor in a hurry.

"First of all, bringing down Katsuo Suga can directly damage Arasaka's reputation." Luo Qi analyzed, "As a well-known figure in Arasaka, once he falls, opponents will definitely make a fuss about him, even if what he does is dirty. The job is the same. So the Asuka faction must want to expose him in the worst possible way, and then pin all the crimes on Arasaka."

"As for whether it's all made by Arasaka, it doesn't matter."

"Secondly, the Ministry of Justice can be said to be one of Arasaka's sharpest minions. The competition between the Asuka faction and Arasaka cannot simply be a battle. The armed conflict between them will eventually turn into other alternative forms. Dirty Secret Service, the best attack point for removing stumbling blocks and pouring dirty water on opponents."

"Destroy the Ministry of Justice, and Arasaka's lethality will directly drop by one level."

Luo Qi is already somewhat familiar with this kind of political struggle.

Sometimes the seemingly mindless conflicts between companies, where a person dies here and a car overturns there, are all for the purpose of creating excuses and targeting opponents.Laws are the rules of the game prepared for corporate capital and political groups, and games will be played within this set framework before they are completely torn apart (such as the fourth corporate war).

"In the end, I believe that if those Asuka factions are not fools, they will be able to understand the internal situation of their opponents—the dear son of Arasaka Saburo, it seems that there is no 'one heart and one heart' between the remaining company veterans?"

When Luo Qi said this, he showed a mysterious smile, which was more magical than the "Mona Lisa" in Regina's eyes. It was simply the LYB beautiful smile of a master of calculation.

"Interrupting Arasaka Yoshinobu's unification plan will cause them to fall into endless internal friction. As long as the operation is done properly, no matter how big the empire is, it will collapse. As for the Asuka faction... they just need to watch the operation from the sidelines. .”

"It's better than I thought it would be."

Regina affirms Luo Qi's statement.

"Dirty political game..." Max curled his lips in disdain. In his eyes under the sunglasses, the fire of "exposing these damned bugs" was burning.

He suddenly felt that working for these guys called Asuka pie didn't seem so happy anymore.

"Getting Katsuo Suga off, Arasaka's pace will be disrupted, at least it won't be able to completely focus on the Asuka faction's forces in Night City." Regina added, "Sometimes a struggle is like a race, and all operations are for Make a stumbling block for your opponent, because as long as you are ahead of your opponent, you will be able to win the crown of superiority and enjoy the exclusive benefits of the top."

"So... this is the reason why the world is slow to progress? Everyone thinks about how to suppress others instead of making themselves run faster."

According to this statement, Luo Qi suddenly had a little understanding.

"You could say the same."

Max expressed his approval.

Regina then nodded.

"However, suppressing opponents is one aspect, and market saturation is another aspect." Regina lamented, "There is no prosperity without room for rapid development and capital dumping. If a super enterprise wants to gain profit margins, it has to compete with other big companies." If companies compete, they have to annex small and medium-sized companies.”

"..."

Rocky was silent for a while.

Then he opened his mouth slowly.

"I've never understood what I've heard before - that it's no longer a zero-sum game between the top companies."

"This is what Arasaka Yoshinobu and the military technology people said. I couldn't figure it out before, but now I understand it."

"...What do you mean?" Max frowned and thought for a while, as if he had caught something, but he lacked the flash of inspiration.

Luo Qi sighed softly, "It seems that the economic situation is even more severe than we imagined. We all know that the cake is only that big. If the company wants to obtain more benefits in a saturated market, it has to get more benefits from others." It’s a zero-sum game.”

"Could it be that Arasaka Yoshinobu intends to play a win-win game with his old enemy?"

Max showed a look of disbelief.

What is the virtue of capital, he is very clear about investigating black information every day.

"A non-zero-sum game is not just a win-win game."

Luo Qi smiled wryly when he heard the words, "It may also be one gain and one loss - one's own profit and the enemy's loss is more; or both losses - one thousand damage to the enemy and eight hundred damage to the other."

"The sum of both cases is less than zero."

But isn't this internal friction! ?

The unnecessary consumption of oneself within human society! ?

But no one can ask this rhetorical question.

Because everyone has suddenly discovered that this kind of thing has never stopped since the competition of capital.

Super companies don't care whether resources are wasted or not, and they don't care whether anyone other than themselves is profiting, because they only need to confirm that they are at the point of maximizing their interests at all times.

He will do whatever it takes to do it.

"As for Arasaka Yoshinobu, I don't know."

Luo Qi recalled that face that was not young.

Although he is the prince of the Arasaka Empire and the new emperor who has just ascended the throne, Arasaka Yoshinobu is not too young, and after so many years of going out, he must have some ideas of his own.

Otherwise, he wouldn't strangle his father to death.

As for what kind of "non-zero-sum game" he is pursuing and what kind of "natural order" among companies he wants to restore, these have nothing to do with Luo Qi and the others.

Because when a dog bites a dog's mouth hair, normal people don't care what "big" ideals these dogs have-mostly what meat and bones they want to eat tonight.

Interest, interest, or interest.

As long as the interests are grasped, the motivation of capital can be found.

Suddenly, a light flashed in my mind, and there was a crackling sound.

Chávez snatched the biological virus agent from Buckle, is it possible that capital is instigating behind it! ?

Other companies except the most battered military technology and biotechnology! ?

Thinking of this possibility, Luo Qi's hair all over his body stood up involuntarily.

The pupil shrank for a moment, but he hid it well.

"..."

At an angle that others could not see, Suzi's hand lightly touched Luo Qi's back.

A sense of solidity came.

Luo Qi exhaled lightly, then nodded.

"I feel like I need to confirm things about Chavez and Barker first."

This is asking if there is more information to exchange.

Regina treats him well, and Luo Qi will not be a white-eyed wolf.

"Have you found anything?"

Max keenly sensed a different breath.

"Yes, but I'm not sure, that may interfere with your judgment." Luo Qi said seriously, "So I need time to confirm."

Regina readily agreed.

This is a manifestation of the heart-to-heart relationship between the two parties. In Night City, for mercenaries and intermediaries, only their trusted partners would think of sharing all the analyzed information at the first time.

Chapter 140 VII Come With Us

In the side room that was cleared out of the space where he could stay, Luo Qi was surrounded by Suzi with a blank face, V with a frowning face, William with a forced smile, and Anna with a cold face.

The holographic projector borrowed from Regina projected a wide-angle picture in the air at this time-a video of a bystander that night.

It was dark at night, and a cold wind blew across the moors, hitting this homeless encampment on the edge of town.

【Unbelievable World】342967465

Luo Qi, who has been taught by Suzi, knows that this is one of the most suitable times to launch an attack on a night when the light conditions are poor.

The resolution of cheap optical prosthetic eyes is not high, especially the holographic video output by the recording function, the bit rate is touching, and it is almost impossible to see what is happening [-] meters away.

But I don't know whether it's because I can't move my feet or I'm worried about getting into trouble. The recorder always stays on this relatively distant hill, recording all this tremblingly.

The wind is like a scythe, cutting through the bad soil and making the drought-tolerant plants with strong roots tremble uncontrollably.

In the distance, Buckle's tent set off a wave made of windproof cloth.

The time in the upper right corner is passing by every minute.

Suddenly, without warning, Buckle's camp set off a bright light enough to illuminate the night.

From twisting and twisting flames.

It is so red and bright, in this cold night.

It seems that through the screen, this group of people is also pulled into the time and space where the biting cold and painful heat are intertwined.

"quack……"

Luo Qi heard the sound of V clenching his fist quietly.

He turned his head, but saw people with different expressions.
