Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

"Oh, I almost forgot, those who can make it to the finals must not be a show."

"Exactly." Luo Qi smiled, confident in Jack's fist.

Chapter 250 IX Give Arasaka's Kidney a Knife

Estevez, the tavern owner who was hunted down by military technology, the guy who hangs out in the Valentino gang.

I thought that the death of him and the military technology intervention team would temporarily bring this matter to an end.

It doesn't feel good to investigate the case of no head. For the people in the Military Science and Technology Investigation Department, it is very clear who launched the attack on their team and what the purpose is——

According to rumors among the mercenaries, it was a killer named Haruhiko Date from the Arasaka Company.

Although Arasaka and Military Technology seem to be at odds at the moment, according to internal information, there is no such person in Arasaka.

Of course, Arasaka will not directly issue a similar statement in public, because it represents a show of weakness.

If they were as fearless as they claim to be, they wouldn't be trying to hint at military technology—

I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense.

Whether the people who did this came from conservatives or radicals is unknown.

The incident did not put aside the investigation of the mayoral adviser, Javier Alvarado.

On one side, the NCPD is paddling as hard as it can, trying to keep the investigation involving the mayor's advisor and even the former mayor out of the public eye.

At the same time, the major media controlled by capital also started their own news offensives. For a while, reports from various positions exploded on the Internet.

No one knows exactly who is right, and maybe, no matter what your stand, what you see on the Night City news will never be the complete truth.

This public opinion turmoil reached its climax when a news newspaper was destroyed in the explosion.

This is a small newspaper office, so small that any capital that can be called a company can completely cover it.

Before the attack, they had published a report about the relationship between the owner of a "Chicken Helper" restaurant controlled by the Valentino gang in the Heywood area and Javier Alvarado, an advisor to the mayor. Communication information between.

[local support

From: Javier Alvarado

Recipient: Mauricio Salinas

Dear Mr. Salinas,

It is with great interest that I admire your business and philanthropic endeavors in the Valley.It is thanks to enterprising people like you that the region thrives on life and opportunity.I believe with all my heart that our cooperation under the current circumstances must be sustainable in the long run.Of course, if there are any changes, that is to say regional changes, we can re-evaluate our arrangements if necessary.

Sincerely,

Javier Alvarado]

On the surface, it was a simple thank you letter from the mayor's office.

This kind of thank-you letter emails appears every day in all walks of life involved in the city government, some of which are given official names, and some are public and cultural exchanges between various organizations.

It's nothing.

But that wasn't all there was to the story. Alongside it, the paper also published a small personal communication from the man, Mauricio Salinas, and business information recorded in government records.

The tender for a laundromat was won by Mauricio Salinas.

If this is just a coincidence, then his private communication records are the final lore.

[City Hall says we won the tender for the laundromat.Alvarado is going to get 15% this time (he insists he "got connections"), but I'll bet you can make it back in a year.Liquor licenses are fine, and we got the Mewtwo equipment from those psychos in the Kabuki district.As long as the business is fully established, it is no problem to earn 100 million a year.Maybe even more if Alvarado can help us with the audit.We are rich. 】

Of course, this paragraph of words may also be fabricated by the newspaper to discredit the mayor's advisor and even the entire city hall, but in connection with the rumors a while ago, everything seems to have become clear——

A local Heywood tavern owner named Gerardo Estevez was killed at gunpoint by the Military Technology Intervention Department.

Originally, military technology could legalize their actions as long as they pulled out some so-called crimes.

But it was revealed that Estevez had a wine business relationship with Salinas.

The move of military science and technology undoubtedly immediately became self-inflicted.

If it's not a guilty conscience, why did you bring a special force to silence it?

Not only the owner of the tavern, but even a little-known tabloid office were destroyed.

Just when the hot spots of public opinion gradually fermented, everything came to an abrupt end.

The relevant reports on the Internet quickly disappeared, replaced by what Arasaka's legal department did to the homeless camp.

A large number of shocking photos and videos flowed out, including many authentic communication records.

Evidence suggests that Arasaka's justice department and military forces have been "cleaning" homeless or ordinary civilians who might threaten their prestige.

Originally, Luo Qi only noticed the speed at which the military technology was operating behind the scenes, but when he saw the familiar call log, he understood something.

The one called "Esteban Ramirez," he remembered.

At the beginning, Regina was still seeking cooperation with the Asuka faction, and then the other party's forces obtained a lot of information, and then the golden cicada escaped after a bitter trick was staged.

The main object of investigation they focused on was the head of Arasaka's legal department, Suga Yusheng, who was only known by name but not in person.

Esteban was one of many homeless men killed by the Arasaka Justice Department's Special Service Squad.

They may have been ordinary citizens, employees working for Arasaka, or even their internal personnel, but in the end they all had to be reduced to the point of homelessness, and even suffered liquidation-style strangulation.

The man didn't leave any statement for the righteous reporter Max, but he found the report that Arasaka missed at the scene.

There are many similar cases. Max and Regina threw out a considerable part of the evidence in order to attack Arasaka.

They have been discussing with Luo Qi before, and they have also considered when it is appropriate.

Originally, Luo Qi thought that it might be a long time later, at least after this year, and he would wait until the political situation changed before making a move.

But now it seems that those two guys who are always at odds, but with the same temper, have found the best time.

Then he stabbed Arasaka's waist severely.

Let Arasaka overwhelm military technology, and even cause public opinion to lose control and one-sided situation, this is not what they want to see.

What they want is to kill Arasaka. If it is not realistic to bring down a company, then let a department be fouled first.

The Arasaka Legal Department is now facing this kind of encounter.

"Well done, the whole city is crazy now, you didn't see it, people are everywhere on the street, Arasaka and Military Technology have suffered a lot, the protesting crowd blocked the building."

With a cruel smile on his face, Luo Qi was on the phone while walking in the middle of the road.

The nearby traffic has been somewhat paralyzed. There are security guards and policemen everywhere to maintain order, as well as the NCPD riot department that keeps going to the scene.

Melissa had called him and told him to be on the lookout for a possible cyberpsychotic suicide attack on the company near the company plaza.

"It's nice to blow up a few company dogs, but don't let him charge into the crowd."

These are Melissa's original words, it's so cold that it makes people feel hairy, but Luo Qi likes this taste——

What he wants to protect are civilians, not anything else.

"What's good? We didn't do anything? What are you talking about?"

It was Max who answered the phone. He was wearing big sunglasses and leaning back on the sofa chair. While he looked very shy, there was a smug smile on his mouth.

In the past two days, he, Regina, and a group of teams with the same ideal of overthrowing Arasaka have been busy to death.

Countless news reports, countless exposing evidence, and even articles written in the past, dedicated to summarizing the good things Arasaka did.

It's like an oversaturation blow, no matter how many repetitions there are, anyway, spread as much as possible through various channels.

Some of them were published anonymously, some were resold to other media who were willing to buy, and some third-party articles were frantically reprinted on social networking platforms.

These are not the point, the point is that what they wrote is accompanied by complete and tangible evidence.

This makes them stand out from the thousands of empty-talking and inciting naval reports.

Of course, no one will know the name Max and Regina, which is the brilliance of their preparation.

"Without this ability, I'd better not be a middleman as soon as possible."

Regina's voice was full of tiredness, but there was an undisguised, sincere pride and complacency.

"Fuck Arasaka, don't think no one can cure them."

A group of "little people" with abilities, dreams, and aspirations can also explode with extraordinary power.

"Very good, very good."

Luo Qi listened and listened, and laughed foolishly.

Who wouldn't be happy to see Arasaka being unlucky?

There is a saying that is very popular in Night City——

One counts as one, who has not been exploited by military technology or Arasaka and other major companies?Who hasn't been squeezed by them?

A person, from the moment he is born, has to pay high taxes, "enjoy" products with low cost and inflated prices, and then have to bear all kinds of "reasonable" debts for living, and then be used by companies Technology and the power to set a price for everything are tied to the slave cart that labors for their lives.

The ultimate form of capitalism is not money supremacy, whoever has the money is the boss, that is just the appearance.

The never-ending exploitation is the real essence.

Luo Qi looked across the road, a group of parades holding high the signs "Down with companies, down with capitalism" were under the special attention of the anti-riot department.

With the high-pressure water gun and the vehicle-mounted electric shock turret, the team of more than a hundred people instantly turned into a wet "loach", jumping and twitching on the ground.

These "radical" teams were deliberately eliminated.

There are more and more people in the company square, gradually gathering thousands of people, but fortunately, NCPD is still reliable at such a critical moment, and the situation did not worsen.

Protests and demonstrations are never uncommon in Night City. Although companies are almost beyond the law, at least they cannot use violence against the masses.

Provoking a comprehensive social incident will only cause them more losses, and the gains outweigh the losses.

This account, the company can calculate clearly.

This is a matter caused by Arasaka and military technology. Although NCPD is here, it will only be a nice gentleman who can't see it——

Go ahead and make trouble on your own, I will be responsible for preventing the masses from rioting and it will be over.

In the face of different occasions, NCPD officers have a "flexible" law enforcement principle.

This matter will not make a big fuss, because it will not benefit anyone.

Regardless of whether it is Arasaka or military technology, it looks like its reputation has been discredited, but in fact it is just two chess players sitting in the wind and rain, looking at each other, silently or loudly. .

Every moment in the development of things can be a turning point.

It doesn't matter how much you lose, what matters is how the opponent is in the process.

Luo Qi is very clear about the psychology of these companies. Maybe he is behind the windows of dozens of floors, looking at the civilians on the ground who are as small as ants, clamoring for emotions, so he feels funny.

There is a certain order in the chaos, and there is a lot of feathers in the order.

Before Luo Qi came to Night City, he had never seen such a contradictory scene.

Without the NCPD and the company's troops, this place will soon develop into a messy scene of smashing and smashing.

While it's right to be against the company, Rocky doesn't lean toward that format.

The first is useless, the second is useless, and the third is useless.

If one had to add it, it would be that the protesters may also be in physical danger.

To hit the company, this kind of painless means is useless.

The overwhelming negative news and exposure reports will reduce the reputation of the company, and thus bring losses in the market, which will affect all the stocks and even the futures market.

For the company, this is fatal.

That's why every time something like this happens that can ignite civilian emotions, the company can quickly control the situation.

In this special period, apart from the economic aspect, there is one more important point——

That is the election of a new mayor.

The black material left over from the past is a bomb that may be dug up at any time. The public opinion controlled by the two companies is the power to push the bomb back and forth, while Max and Regina are accelerating the burning of the bomb fuse and rolling towards Arasaka's Accelerator.

Either push the bomb to the opponent, or join forces with the opponent to bury the bomb, and everyone will live in peace.

Even if Arasaka and Military Technology are sworn enemies, under the company's thinking mode and system, they will seriously consider the possibility of cooperation.

But only they themselves know how many unscrupulous and bad things their own legal department and intervention department have done.

It's not just one or two bombs buried in the ground. If you dig up ancestral graves with your opponents for the sake of competition, the result of mutual damage is the lightest.
