Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

"This number is 0.7! That's all I paid." Jefferson looked at the camera, then at the audience, and nodded affirmatively, "[-]% paid!"

"Gentlemen, I would like to remind you not to interrupt the other party's speech..."

The WNS host who presided over the meeting just wanted to maintain order, but was completely ignored by the two candidates who had already entered the state.

"Do you really think that this number is fair and reasonable?"

Jefferson continued to chase and fight fiercely, and bursts of cheers broke out from the audience.

"I will never accept yours! Uh... your malicious accusations and groundless slander."

Wilton first seized the right to speak with a firm denial, and then finished the draft, "Yes, the tax rate is not high, but this is a good thing-you must know that the company's well-run is also good for society. !"

Wilton knocked on the table vigorously and said firmly.

"But it's especially good for you, isn't it, Wilton?" Jefferson turned and leaned on the podium. "How much (political) donations did you get from Contao for this campaign?"

Political donations, obviously, are the necessary funds provided to the candidates to participate in the election, but in fact they will become the property that the candidates can freely dispose of through various overt and covert means.

In simpler terms, the four characters of political donations represent "purchasing policies with money" and "trading power for money".

There are no exceptions.

Capitalists have legally completed a "money to power" transaction through political donations.

Candidates got a lot of money, and capitalists got naked policies, and everyone was happy.

Someone may ask - what about the law?

In front of the government that represents power and the company that represents money, please don't mention these two words, because that is completely self-defeating.

They wrote the terms, they reviewed the process, and they judged the result.

No one who has lived in Night City for even a week would ask such an innocent question.

Kangtao is now grabbing the market with new products, and is building an unsupervised and highly intelligent industrial park in Taipingzhou. If you don’t take the opportunity to get more exclusive policies, it’s like putting meat on your lips and not eating it.

"...Then maybe you can talk about how much money you have in your small coffers in the Cayman Islands?"

Wilton's smile was a little stiff, and then quickly dissipated. He also turned his head and looked at Jefferson with a sullen grin.

You did it first, so don't blame me.

Sure enough, an uproar broke out in the audience.

"Ugh...me! I've explained it so many times-that's my accountant's claim! As soon as I post it..."

Jefferson's expression management was also out of control, and he immediately began to defend himself.

"Hey hey hey..." Wilton smiled sinisterly, and then glared fiercely, "Good idea? Do you think I'm an idiot, Perales!?"

"This is... a debate! No personal attacks, okay!?" Jefferson quickly looked at Wilton, motioning him to keep it a little tighter.

"I think everyone will agree on this point. Take a break and come back to watch our mayoral election debate." The host hurried out to smooth things over, and the advertisement came in with lightning speed.

Video so far.

Luo Qi was rolling on the ground laughing.

"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! I died from laughing like hell!"

After laughing for a while, he sat down on the chair again, with an uncontrollable smile on his face, and shook his head.

"It's so classic, I think it should be written, engraved on a stone tablet, and then placed in the fucking company square for future generations to admire."

There is nothing clean about politicians. Election campaigns and debates are nothing more than a dog representing the interests of one vote biting a dog representing the interests of another vote.

Behind Wilton is military technology, NCPD, and now Kang Tao.

And Jefferson is Ye's company, Arasaka, and a series of Japanese companies.

Arasaka Yoshinobu is right, there is no zero-sum game at all these days, and if peaceful development comes to an end, there will always be some "little friction".

"It's a good comedy, so let's get down to business." Rocky cleared his throat and looked at Regina. "I guess it's about Birdie."

"Not exactly, but there are."

Regina affirmed, "Do you still remember Suga Yukatsu?"

Chapter 210 The Devil Rooted in the Body

"of course I remember."

Rocky is not amnesiac.

"Arasaka Yoshinobu's white gloves, the direct superior of the dead Fujii Kenzo, the head of the Arasaka Legal Department, what happened to him?"

"After Asuka faction killed Fujii Kenzo, they started to target Suga Yukatsu." Regina recounted her recent work, "We helped them make a lot of commissions, but unfortunately they were all on the edge and didn't go deep. .”

"Why?" Rocky asked.

"It's too dangerous. I'm a middleman, not a gun in their hands. Some things just need to be ordered."

Regina also felt that this meal was not tasty, and her teeth would be broken easily, "So our cooperation with Asuka Pie is officially terminated, and I recommend them to hire Gao Ming."

"Let me guess, did you 'dead' a bunch of your subordinates?" Luo Qi asked with a smile.

"That's right." Regina glanced at the blood-stained bandage thrown in the corner, and replied with a smile.

Send some hired lone wolves to pretend to be killed by a sneak attack in a scheduled operation, and Regina herself was seriously injured and fell to the ground. Afterwards, the younger brother under him was sent out to perform a long-term mission. The guys can't recognize any of them, they only think they are new recruits from her.

——Boss, we suffered heavy casualties, Suga Yukatsu is too strong!

—Okay, okay, then let's find someone else.

This is presumably how Regina got out of it.

As cunning as a fox.

The greater the difference in strength between Asuka faction and Arasaka-type companies, the more carefully they will consider each partner, and they will often not entrap the other party too hard, so as not to incur new enemies for themselves.

As we all know, NUSA is the site of military technology, and Free State is the site of Arasaka.

Asuka faction is currently a guest army hanging overseas alone, and wants to make some big news... that may not be Arasaka's opponent.

When the Asuka faction politicians and capital representatives asked Regina to start deeply intervening in affairs including the mayoral election, that was the last time for her to retire and escape from her shell.

It's too late, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave.

"With this one, our two candidates are tearing their skins apart." Regina said that Wilton and Jefferson revealed each other during the debate. "You know, these politicians will have some Unspoken rules, such as the convention not to mention the other party's sensitive topics."

When Wilton Holt served as the deputy mayor, he did a lot of things to open the door for the company. He is a proper capitalist, and he is completely different from the late Mayor Lucius Lane of the independent faction. different.Jefferson Perales, on the other hand, is the so-called populist faction—while fighting for the interests of the common people, he is also weighing the delicate relationship between the company and the government.

All in all, these three people each have their own ideas and methods of governing, but no matter what their factions are, they can never be separated from capital.

After all, in this land, money represents power.

While they came to power as politicians, they are also destined to become emerging political capitalists in the future.

"But now it seems that Wilton is gradually at a disadvantage." Regina and Max, as the best former journalists and intelligence personnel, have absolutely first-class sense of smell in politics, "Jefferson's The people-friendly card is very good, and to be honest, I kind of want to support him."

Of course, this is just a joke, Regina will not get involved in political struggles.

As the situation becomes clearer and the outcome gradually tilted, the disadvantaged side will begin to let go of their shackles and use all means to ensure their own victory.

That's what Wilton and the team behind him do.

Expose each other's background, talk about how many nasty things the other party has done in office, and whose interests have been abandoned for the sake of interests.

Both sides are trying to win over the other side's supporters, and when one side's support rate is completely finished, it is time to declare victory.

The special forces of the major companies are extremely busy at this time.

Kidnapping, killing, raiding, stealing intelligence, reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance...

The handles left in the past, the tails that were not handled properly, the traps set for the opponent, the spies and undercovers arranged for the enemy to lurk, all came into play in various dazzling ways, and there are constantly life and death battles that no one knows about... It unfolds in the streets and alleys of Night City, high buildings and low houses.

Even the secretary-general of the former mayor was involved in the whirlpool.

All kinds of scandals about private life, undistinguishable reports, and impromptu outbursts have all become a mess in the political reports.

In this environment, even the intelligence collected by Regina has conflicting parts, and many materials are labeled as "pending" and "unconfirmed", not to mention what the living in capital wants them to see. The civilians who saw something.

The biological and chemical weapons incidents such as Arasaka and Military Technology are just a prelude to the mayor's election.

Night City is not so particular, and conflicts of interest tend to be resolved in a more direct way——

For example, the battle with live ammunition.

Compared with high-sounding political games, this method cannot be said to be higher or lower.

Because the so-called civilized elegance is nothing more than velvet on the wolf's body, and they don't even bother to pretend to be a sheep.

In the collision of such behemoths, the intermediary with hands and eyes is nothing more than a larger boat.

Dog lives matter.

"After Aranobu Arasaka took over his father's class, Arasaka became more energetic." Regina used to work for the Asuka faction, and she also paid a lot of attention to Arasaka's information, "Saburo Arasaka is so good at hiding , If it wasn’t for Arasaka Raisan’s actions, I wouldn’t even know he did so much in secret.”

"For military technology, this is indeed bad news." Regina went on to say, "Saburo Arasaka's previous work was mainly concentrated in Japan, especially in Tokyo. Heh, that old man has to say that he is really good-he When he was still alive, he almost controlled the entire politics of Japan, and the cowards of the Asuka faction didn't even dare to jump around."

"No, once they found out that Saburo Arasaka was dead, they even dared to extend their hands to Night City."

When Luo Qi heard this, he thought it was the same.

Didn't the Asuka faction become active after Saburo Arasaka was killed by his son?

For the sake of Relic, Arasaka Saburo deliberately ran all the way from Tokyo to Night City, almost halfway across the world.

Thinking of this, Luo Qi couldn't help but wake up.

This knife has been well maintained by him, coupled with Arasaka Military Industry's world-leading technology accumulation, it is almost indistinguishable from a brand new one.

To be honest, with such a knife in his hand, Luo Qi felt at ease.

The so-called god will also be strangled to death by his own son like a dying old man; the so-called god once held the knife like he is now; , but not inscrutable and immortal.

There are tens of thousands of mansions in Guangsha, and only six feet are needed to sleep at night; the family is rich, and there are only three meals during a solar eclipse.

For Regina's choice to withdraw, Luo Qi expressed absolute support.

After all, he and she are also old friends, if something happens because of being involved in the struggle, Luo Qi will be sad too.

"Let's not talk about this for now, let them play by themselves." Regina is very free and easy, "I need more about cyber psychosis."

"I have too few cases, and the progress of treatment is also very slow, because there is no technical reserve, and now I am completely crossing the river by feeling the stones, and need more typical cases."

"Understood." Luo Qi nodded, "I will pay more attention, if the target is suitable."

"However, is there any progress on your side? Or some new discovery?"

He doesn't care about cyberpsychosis, he only cares about the treatment options for the disorder.

Because Suzi has a history of illness, fortunately, there is no complete disease.

Once that threshold is crossed, cyberpsychopathy naturally develops in the direction of deterioration.

Under the treatment of Lao Wei, with the aid of drugs, Suzi has entered a long process of self-healing.

Below this threshold, the body's self-recovery ability is still very powerful.

But after all, the root of the disease is there, so Luo Qi would take her back to Lao Wei for reexamination from time to time, and to take targeted medicine.

However, if Regina's research progresses, it may provide some valuable information. After all, Lao Wei has no relevant knowledge and is prescribing prescriptions using conventional surgical and neurological treatments.

According to Lao Wei, if Suzi left the root cause of the disease, it is probably in the spine.

The difficulty of changing this thing is even higher than changing it into a "big machine bully" like Adam Heavy Hammer, which is almost nonsense.

"There is, but it hardly helps the treatment directly. It can only be said that some foundations have been established."

Regina was also very helpless, "But one thing is for sure, there are treatment options, but the cure...is difficult, at least no one has succeeded so far."

Many of the medical teams who contacted her were technicians from large companies.

Only companies and the government can afford the cost of treatment and meet the technical requirements, and they are the only authorities in the field of cyberpsychiatric treatment.

According to their experience, so far, there is still no case of cyber psychosis in the world that has been completely cured.

Luo Qi is very clear about Melissa's mental condition. She is already an excellent treatment case in cyberpsychosis, but she still has a very high demand for killing. Serving in the Terrorist Mobile Squad is a perfect match.

Master once told him that before he came to the Terrorist Mobile Squad, Melissa had torn government staff several times—

Those guys planned to reduce the military expenditure of the Terrorist Mobile Squad under the pretense of being unfavorable, but they just happened to be bumped into by Melissa who was soaked in blood after returning from a mission, and blood was spattered on the spot.

There was a rumor in the NCPD that the Mantis Knives of the Terrorist Mobile Team were different from the normal ones. They needed to drink human blood to keep them sharp. The power of this curse would make them invulnerable.
