But it will take some time.

As the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you are not afraid of running out of firewood.

Roger wasn't going to risk everything with Johnny on another crazy suicide attack, and neither did they.

Since a head-on confrontation is a dead end, then we should give full play to the spirit of guerrilla warfare and achieve staged victories in some places. The accumulation of small amounts will be a loss that cannot be ignored for Arasaka Company.

Adam Hammer was the first target.

Luo Qi saw a strange light in Rogge's eyes, which was really rare for a living legend like her.

Perhaps for her, dealing with the company with her former partner is not only a kind of grievance, but also a way to regain her original intention and awaken her numb self.

But heartless V and Jack obviously don't feel that way.

The two Tie Hanhan were not touched by the half-century-long drama. After all, their parents might not have been born at that time, but they were determined to resist the company together with a mentality of yearning and worshiping legends.

In Jack's words, he spent the first half of his life "soaked in shit".

Are the streets beautiful?Isn't fire good?Is crime good?Is everything good being exploited by the company?Is it good to lose your life at any time and make your family heartbroken?

What they love is the people, things and feelings that they can't let go of in the land of Night City, not the garbage city itself.

Pure resistance, pure longing for beauty, Luo Qi likes this kind of emotion that is not exaggerated.

"Hey, do you guys know Morrow Rock Radio?"

Jack was drinking with them in the safe house, and suddenly said mysteriously, as if he was going to share some big news.

"I've heard of it, but I'm not familiar with it, what's the matter?"

Luo Qi is also a master who does not let his ears idle while driving. His favorite is the body temperature radio station, and he can always squat down to his favorite Bo Bo Chicken.

The songs of the three Two-dimensional girls in Ganglie are too magical, and the whole album is full of magical songs that make people fall in love with just three or two hits.

As for rock and roll, it's just an occasional change of taste.

"Channel 107.3, there's a guy called 'Big Mike', who seems to know everything, really crazy."

Jack touched the back of his head, feeling a little horrified, "Although it sounds a bit bizarre, I think sometimes what he said makes sense."

As he spoke, he turned on a recording that he had copied from the radio.

[Everyone, big news!You've all heard about the Relic that Arasaka sells to the rich and famous, right?That's all the news says.

Copy your personality imprint into the chip, so that even if you die, your lover doesn't have to be sad.

You can put your dear grandma in the chip and take it with you. When you need it, ask her for advice on the life experience of the old man, to cheer you up and give you ideas.

It can be regarded as a kind of immortality.

Of course, only the richest and most powerful can afford it, not ordinary people like you and me.

But is it really that simple?

We all know that Arasaka has been researching consciousness simulation technology for half a century.

For example, the notorious Soul Killer, you should have heard of it, right?

It's a cyber weapon that copies your consciousness into a secure server, turning your physical body into a hollow shell.

So what are they doing after copying their consciousness?Interrogation, experimentation, torture... you can do whatever you want.

So you, a billionaire president, decided to make a copy of yourself, so that you would not be afraid that your precious descendants would not inherit your experience and wisdom.

And in this way, you can also say a few words to everyone at the company's annual meeting.How can this world do without you, don't you think so?

As for Arasaka, he will happily copy your brain and store it in a chip for you.But before that, they will keep a backup.

Send it straight to digital coercion.

They will destroy your spiritual will little by little, and squeeze out the memory inside.

All the dark history, all the shady transactions, all the weaknesses, the most invisible fears and desires.

Then you are theirs.Not exaggerating at all.

If you ask me, the person in the Arasaka marketing department who came up with this idea should really be given a raise.

They've turned the most fearsome weapon in Arasaka's arsenal into a consumer luxury item!

Don't even mention it, they are really amazing...]

There is still a lot to come, but the key information ends here.

Luo Qi looked at the nervous and frightened expression on Jack's face, his brows and eyes were filled with worry and doubt, and he seemed to have been shaken a little by what the so-called "Big Mike" said.

He expected to hear that hopeful answer from his brother's mouth, at least it would lighten the lingering feeling of someone staring at him from behind.

He once carried the relic box in his hand, and they also stole the chip from the Cyan Bi Building, not to mention that he had personally seen the personality consciousness half a century ago.

If the company can really use this thing to control human souls, how many unconscionable and unimaginable things will they dare to do in the not-too-distant future?

"It's not completely correct, but it's not completely wrong." Luo Qi carefully considered the meaning hidden in the words that seemed to be gods and ghosts, then crossed his hands and said against his chin, "But it seems that this person knows something. Quite a few."

"When using the soul killer to copy the soul, it will undoubtedly kill the person directly, so it is impossible to secretly copy the consciousness, which is determined by the operating mechanism of the software."

Johnny is the person who experienced it first-hand, and coupled with the information provided by Herman, this Soul Killer, which is completely different from the original version invented by Ott, is not as magical as Big Mike said.

Moreover, the relic 1.0 on the market does not have the ability to rub the imprint of the soul of the deceased at all. Its essence is to use an AI with strong deep learning ability to simulate the data in the memory, so as to imitate the dead original owner to the greatest extent.

In other words, those rich users are just communicating with an AI that looks very much like the original owner.

But this conspiracy theory of third-rate sci-fi literature on street stalls in the 70s and 2.0s just caught the essence of relic[-].

False in the true, true in the false, this is not the highest state of making the false come true.

Sometimes adding a bit of coincidental precision and metaphysical predictions will disrupt the logic of the audience, and through self-imagining, the more they think, the more reasonable they become.

This is the advanced skill learned by Huyou, which is common in various schools of magic sticks.

The most important thing is that this big Mike's pretense of mystery cannot escape Luo Qi's perception.

Because he is a staunch supporter of materialist dialectics, and he had engraved this thing into his DNA when he endorsed it.

"really?"

After listening to Luo Qi's explanation, Jack was still a little dubious, but obviously relieved a lot.

"But as far as I know, Arasaka is very likely... no, almost, using the soul killer to collect a lot of imprints."

Luo Qi did not deny the part that was close to being confirmed, because Johnny was imprisoned in the "miracle" called "soul prison" back then.

Since this can be done to a "terrorist", Arasaka has no reason to let go of those other people who have a lot of valuable information and secrets in their heads.

Mikoto is a data fortress whose specifications are much higher than that of the "Sea God" of the Voodoo Gang.

Network monitoring is awesome, but they have never dared to challenge Arasaka's network security department, and the same is true for military technology.

The information disclosed by Big Mike not only has the point of being a magic stick, but also has acquaintance with intelligence.

Who is the other party?And why do you want to use this kind of rumor mixed with one-sided truth to broadcast while you have extraordinary information?

Luo Qi decided to dig up this person's information online.

The identity of the other party is temporarily unknown, but there are still many recorded audio files about his radio programs.

In addition to relic, the stories told by Big Mike also include various aspects from private gossip to political and military affairs, from cutting-edge technology to folk rumors, which can be called a collection of super rumors.

Why is it a rumor?

Because when Luo Qi took the audio of Big Mike and gave Jack "literacy" one by one, even he, who was a tough guy, felt relieved.

Jack went to public school for a while as a kid, but dropped out of high school to join the Valentino gang.

V followed the homeless family and learned a lot in a "truck library" full of practical books and electronic documents, which can be regarded as having experienced an alternative basic education.

The civilian class in this era is already a rare "intellectual".

How many vagrants and those who wander the streets are semi-literate people who are limited to everyday language. In many areas where communication and transportation have been completely destroyed, there are still patches of purely illiterate people.

Even so, when Luo Qi expressed his opinions in that unique, logical, rigorous, and easy-to-understand style, they still couldn't help but say "you are so knowledgeable!" from the bottom of their hearts. Exclamations like that.

Luo Qi was embarrassed to say it, but he also felt helpless about the deteriorating educational environment in today's world.

Some rumors that seem stupid to him still have an unbelievably large number of followers, not to mention the kind of scams that are well packaged by people with a certain level of education and level, and sometimes even Luo Qi can't tell the difference .

"First of all, let's give an example, starting with the 'truth about Saburo Arasaka's longevity'."

Luo Qi cleared his throat, and earnestly pointed to the original text of the broadcast transcribed on the holographic projection.

"He believes that there is a certain reason why top families like Arasaka and Lusses live close to two hundred years - because they are sucking the blood of the city. You see, the life span is several times longer than that of ordinary people, lying down every day. Living in a sarcophagus-like medical pool, 80-year-old Arasaka Hanako looks the same as 40-year-old. What is this doing?"

"Suggestion, a directional suggestion without guidance."

"To what? - The company is a vampire, and the company's top executives have mysterious, almost magical abilities."

"But if you attack him under the banner of pseudoscience, he can completely get rid of it, because he didn't define the other party a word, it was completely imagined by the audience."

Luo Qi suddenly wanted to take a pointer, and then tapped on the blackboard.

I don't know why, but I just want to do this action at this time.

But it is a pity that this is not a classroom, and what is in front of him is just the air with holographic images falling on it.

So he finally patted the table lightly to relieve the itching of his hands.

"Then what is his purpose for saying that?" V asked doubts.

"Yeah, why?" Jack asked.

"It's a radio show, so you can't create some attractiveness and gimmicks? Do you really think of him as a media like Regina and Max?"

Luo Qi laughed, thinking that this group of people's ability to fool people is really good, and they got into the logic in a few clicks.

"God stick, seer, bard, revealer, mysterious narrator... This is the identity of their side that they hint to the audience."

Luo Qi shook his head, "How is it? Do you feel that their image has suddenly grown taller?"

"Oh——" V slapped his thigh, exclaiming suddenly realized.

"...Hehe." Jack scratched his head embarrassingly, feeling a little stupid.

"But that's not the worst part."

Luo Qi then clicked on the text version of the next audio.

"He said that his friend encountered strange things... Well, at this point, we can almost conclude that this is making up a story."

"Why? Hasn't he told any stories yet?" V froze for a moment and asked, "So sure?"

"Let me ask you, when you are facing a note record or a formal work report, if you want to state something that has already happened, would you use so many attributives and descriptive words to choose words and make sentences?"

Luo Qi asked rhetorically, "Then what is he doing? Performing art-art-processing-processing on one thing!"

Then he brought out the outline of the story.

"His friend heard an extinct wolf howling in the middle of the night, and was attacked by a werewolf the next day. Then he said what is this werewolf? A biochemical werewolf from EBM (European Business Machinery)? Then because EBM is not good at genetic modification technology , so they’re buying toward biotech.”

"So he deduced from this that there are biotech genetic modification laboratories in the wasteland, and those protein farms are all fronts."

"Is it reasonable?"

V and Jack looked at each other, feeling something strange, but couldn't say it.

"Do you remember what this was in the beginning?"

Luo Qi laughed, that kind of smile V is very familiar with, it is called the complacency of catching a tell.

"At first he said it was his friend's story, but later on, it became a speculation from a subjective point of view, and he continued to speculate on the basis of speculation that had not yet gained a foothold."

"Even the narrative angle has changed, which is caused by following my own thinking when making up the story but forgetting to correct it."

"...It seems to be the case." After listening to the analysis, V and Jack slowly opened their eyes wide.

Because they found that Luo Qi's logic was more tenable.

"So, there is a conspiracy in biotechnology, is it fake?"

V touched his chin, and suddenly felt that the mysterious stories that were quite interesting before were not so interesting anymore, but full of deceit and deceit.

"No, the werewolf is fake, and the conspiracy is real."

Luo Qi shrugged, raised the corners of his mouth, and looked relaxed, "As for why I'm so sure—"

"The base of biotechnology has just been taken over. There are no genetically modified werewolves in it. It is a biological weapons laboratory."

"Oh, I forgot to mention, Arasaka did it."
