Turning left and right in the streets and alleys of Night City, after driving for less than 10 minutes, I stopped in a dirty parking lot.
There are a few homeless people around, strange-smelling bedding stuffed in the eaves hole next to the garbage dump, rusted vehicles that are almost only empty shells are left casually on the side of the road, and the hotel's pink The neon lights exude an eerie atmosphere and make the rain foggy.
"Wait..." V stopped everyone from getting out of the car, received a call and hung up on the channel.
"What's the matter with you? The news is full of Cyan Bi." Evelyn Parker's voice came over.
"Saburo Arasaka was killed by his son, what else can happen." Jack didn't like this woman very much.
"Where are you now? Have you escaped? How is Relic?" Evelyn asked quickly.
Luo Qi stopped V at this moment, and said, "Relic is in our hands, let's go find Dexter now."
"No, don't go to him." Evelyn said, "It's not convenient for me to talk here... In short, get rid of him, and I'll give you half!"
Half is [-]%, and at the price of relic, [-]% more than [-]% is also an astronomical figure.
"We'll think about it." Luo Qi signaled V to switch off the phone.
"What's the matter, Lucky?" V didn't understand Luo Qi's meaning.
"It's not a good idea to get rid of middlemen in Night City," Jack said.
"It's not for this reason." Luo Qi shook his head. "The stealing of the relic was just an unnoticed action. Before Arasaka Yoshinobu and even the entire Arasaka realized it, the relic had already entered the hands of the customer."
"But now something bigger has happened—Saburo Arasaka is dead, and he was killed by someone." Luo Qi looked at them and continued to analyze, "Will Raisaka Arasaka say that he strangled himself to death? Then It can only come down to us."
"The relic..." Jack said in astonishment.
Luo Qi leaned on the car seat with an extremely tired look on his face.
"This is the last time I'll see... Dexter, he'll sell us."
"What did you say?" V said in disbelief.
"How is it possible?" Jack couldn't believe it.
"Bug, are you listening?" Luo Qi asked softly with his eyes closed.
On the other end of the channel, there was no sound.
"..."
"You and Dexter have known each other for many years, as early as two years before he ran away, right?" Luo Qi sorted out his messy brain, "Jack, V, why are the three of us Go to Yanbi Building to steal relic, do you understand now?"
"Fuck! You son of a bitch! It's been the idea from the beginning!" Jack said angrily, only now realizing the possibility.
That said, Dexter never intended to give them money in the first place.
"Are you sure?" V asked with the last sliver of luck.
Luo Qi replied with his eyes.
V breathed a sigh of relief, took out a pistol from his pocket and loaded it.
"Bug, you know all about it." Luo Qi said slowly, neither happy nor sad, "Middlemen always go around catching customers, find the cheapest idiot to complete the commission, and then throw the body into the garbage dump..."
"Stop it." T-Bug interrupted loudly, "Dexter has talked to me about this, but in fact I have been paying attention-he may want to throw me away too. Besides, you think I What is the purpose of working so hard from the beginning? As long as we have relic in hand, we don’t have to worry about buyers.”
"What do you mean?" V asked.
"If Dexter intends to sell us, then I won't give him a good face." T-Bug said in a deep voice, "If not, then we'll get together and break up, and see you in the next life after we get the money. "
"I'm afraid your luxury house purchase plan will have to be delayed a little bit." Luo Qi smiled bitterly, "I'm not sure about other things, but this is very clear."
"But everyone, the problem we have to face now is not Relic, but Arasaka Yoshinobu."
V and Jack cast questioning glances, and even Mowell, who had been silent as an audience, looked here.
"No matter how precious, advanced, and unique a relic is, it can be replicated in Arasaka's laboratory." Luo Qi looked at the night scene outside the window, and his thoughts flew to thousands of buildings, "A relic can be sold One hundred million, hundreds of millions, or more, that’s because no other company has any. But what’s so difficult about Arasaka manufacturing a chip that has already been manufactured? Things that can be solved with money are not things, but Arasaka owns Hundreds of billions of euros in assets."
"The next thing Raisaka Arasaka will face is not us, but a brutal struggle within the company." Luo Qi shook his head, "We are all just ordinary people, how can we imagine the capital struggle of such multinational financial giants. But as long as A little power leaked from their fingers may affect the lives of hundreds of thousands of civilians."
"Then kill them." V said firmly, holding the gun.
"Resisting Arasaka, tsk, I didn't even dare to think about it before." Jack was unfamiliar with what he was going to face next, "It's like living in a dream these days."
"I don't care." Mowell was very calm, "Military technology, Arasaka, are all the same."
"You really are..." T-Bug sighed helplessly, "Think about what to do now, Dexter is still waiting for you."
Luo Qi got out of the car, cut the rope on the van with a knife, drove the mecha out of the car, waved his hand, and signaled the driver who was waiting by the side to leave first, and turned to everyone.
"Now, we have one more thing to do, and I'm pretty confident about that."
"What's the matter?" V asked.
Luo Qi raised the thermal cannon in his right hand and the bulletproof shield in his left hand.
"Go and crush that dead fat pig, Dexter!"
Chapter 22 He is so round, he should be able to roll very far with one kick
"Galala la la..."
There was a rough tearing sound, and the closed diamond-shaped iron door of the motel was torn open by the mech with one hand.
0, who was standing at the door waiting for customers to come, was wearing denim shorts. When he saw Luo Qi, his face immediately changed and he fled quickly.
The visitor is not good.
If you ask him how he learned to read information by looking at other people's eyes, he can't do it, but if someone comes to a place like a motel in a mecha that looks like a meat grinder, then someone will probably die very unsafely tonight up.
Slowly step up to the second floor, pass through a neon door full of sexual hints, and come to the side of door 204.
Luo Qi gave V a look, then walked in the opposite direction, who nodded and knocked on the door a few times.
"Bang bang bang..."
No one answered, as if it was an empty house that wasn't occupied.
"Bang bang... let me in."
V knocked twice more, but the door suddenly opened, and a strong man wearing sunglasses came out, held him down, poked his head out, and looked in the direction of the stairs.
nobody.
"He's waiting." As he spoke, he stood aside and guarded the door.
It was Dexter's guy, a guy named Oleg Darkovich, whom V and Jack had met before when they went to the afterlife.
Pulling back the sequined curtains made of cheap plastic, Dexter is propping up the TV with one hand, and on the screen, the bubbling Channel 54 hostess is broadcasting news about Saburo Arasaka.
"Let's go back to the shocking news of the week - the murder of Saburo Arasaka, president and CEO of Arasaka Corporation."
"According to reports, the head of this Japanese business giant was assassinated by unknown gangsters in the Konbi Building, a hotel owned by the company, while attending a family gathering. The son of Arasaka Saburo, Arasaka Yoshinobu believes that his father's line is being competed by the company. It was murdered by his opponent, but at present, Arasaka Yoshinobu has not produced enough relevant evidence to confirm this point of view.”
"Market analysts believe that the assassination of the CEO may be a cover-up to divert the contradictions, so that the public will no longer pay attention to the various problems that persist within the company. Take a short break, and we will conduct expert interviews on Arasaka's strategy to get out of the crisis later."
It doesn't make any sense, except that Saburo Arasaka's death is true, everything else is bullshit.
A lot of lies, conspiracy theories, headlines... This is the free media in Night City.
In addition to the objective facts that can be heard, the explanations from various aspects are all with a strong purpose and inductive color.
"WNS, 54, even the underground network...everywhere is talking about you!" Dexter waved his cigar angrily, and said in a stiff tone, "Where are the others? Still in the car?"
"You don't care about our lives at all, do you?" V looked at him coldly.
"You'd better be careful with your words." Dexter raised his eyes. "Where's my chip?"
"I didn't get it." V said according to the prearranged lines.
"Hmph...this is somewhat good news." Dexter turned his back.
"Good news?" V was a little surprised.
Dexter smoked and began to pace, his voice was full of anxiety: "Saburo Arasaka? Dead! Do you know how much trouble you guys have caused me!?"
"The one you killed was the goddamn emperor! The goddamn god!" Dexter waved his arms and growled angrily, "Whoever has anything to do with this matter is a goddamn god!" Die!!"
"This is not a shit job you arranged!" V finally couldn't hold it anymore, "How the hell do you prepare for it, huh? Don't you know Saburo Arasaka will go to the Konbi Mansion?"
How many times their lives were hanging by a thread, how many times they were frightened, if it wasn't for Luo Qi's arrangement, they would have died long ago.
A few of them ran to their deaths in front of them, and now they have to be threatened by this selfish fat man.
"I can't fucking see his personal itinerary! Besides, who told you to kill that old guy!" Dexter was also angry.
"We didn't kill that!" V gritted his teeth.
"Fart! Go tell those Arasaka ninjas who are chasing you!" Dexter shook off the cigarette and stomped on his feet, angrily.
After a moment of silence, Dexter looked at V and then around, his voice suddenly calmed down.
"Okay, calm down first. This matter requires some strategy." His fat body sat on the sofa, "New place, new identity, but first..."
"Your face is covered with blood...the bathroom is over there, you should go and wash it first."
V was shocked, and the pores of his whole body felt a chill.
It's exactly what Lucky said!
"it is good……"
He lowered his head and walked into the bathroom calmly.
Looking at his dirty and embarrassing self in the mirror, V closed his eyes helplessly, propped his hands on the sink, and sighed in pain.
Turn on the faucet, and although there is a strange smell coming out of it, it is barely considered clear water.
Holding a cup of coolness in both hands, splashing it on the resolute face.
"How are you, V?"
It's Lucky.
"Same as you said..."
V lowered his eyebrows, and took a last look at himself in the mirror, revealing a weird smile that didn't even make sense.
"Don't be afraid, even if the whole world betrays you, you still have brothers and us."
Lucky's easy laugh came from the other end.
"it is good."
He closed his eyes, and the corners of his eyes were bent into a slit, which was the arc of a crescent moon.
In the main room at this time.
"It's me..." Dexter called, "Well, I booked the spaceship."
"Today." He lit another cigar, "No, it won't be until dawn. I can pay more for a seat."
There was a moment of silence, "Spaceport, Platform [-], I know..."
Suddenly, the door of Room 204 was violently kicked in from the outside.
Before Dexter could turn his head, he was smashed directly to the floor.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang..."
"Where is our big boss planning to go?"
Luo Qi violently tore up the door frame, drove a two-meter-high mech, and walked in with the ceiling.
"V, do it."
The guy who was standing by the bathroom door, ready to give V a surprise attack, just raised his pistol at him, and the door behind him opened.
V pierced the back of his heart with one shot, and the bullet passed through his chest.
"Uh, who are you? Arasaka Saburo wasn't killed by me, he was the one who did it all..."
Dexter wriggled his body hard on the ground, like a maggot weighing more than 300 kilograms.
"No no no, little Dexter."
Luo Qi grinned grimly, and walked over, the alloy steel foot of several hundred kilograms crushed the head of the felled horse boy, lifted Dexter up like a chicken with one paw, and pressed it against the wall.
"I'm here to find you today..."
……
"It has arrived."
