I burn the sky in Kyoto

"Jack! Grumble..."

"Answer me, Jack!"

But no matter how he shouted, the person in his hand didn't answer him, and he even felt that the person in his hand was getting colder and colder.

In the ups and downs, V tore off the clothes on his body, then tied Jack to his back, and floated along the dark underground river...

He didn't know how long it had passed, or even how long he had been in a coma. It wasn't until he saw the sun again that V realized that he had left the underground river and drifted to the shore.

There was no chasing violent mobile unit, not even NCPD, and the surrounding area was eerily quiet.

He opened his mouth, and immediately spit out a large amount of sewage and silt. He dared not use any functions of the brain-computer chip at this time, for fear of being discovered by others.

This is a landfill, with a lot of garbage scattered for kilometers, and this is the smelliest place in the whole of Night City.

V got up, and then remembered Jack behind him. He hurriedly put Jack on the ground, but found a huge hole in his abdomen, which was already swollen with blisters, and the blood did not flow out anymore.

And Jack was completely silent, and also lost his body temperature.

"Copy! Jack." V punched the ground hard.

Although they were aware of the danger when they received the job, they still chose to do it for various reasons.

But now, when Jack died in front of him, he felt another wave of unwillingness.

There are no living legends in Night City.

He carried Jack's body on his back, left the landfill, walked several kilometers, and came to a hillside on bad soil.

V used crude tools to slowly dig a hole several meters deep in the ground, and put Jack's body in it.

He knew he couldn't bring Jack back, but at the very least, he had to bury him and prevent him from being dismantled by others.

"I will write your name on the signboard of the Afterlife Bar, Jack, you are the big man, the real legend." After the soil was buried, V took a sharp breath.

He will continue to return to Night City after the modification. Their mission has not been completed, and the next step may be an even more brutal corporate war.

There is a chip on the ground, which is Jack's brain-computer chip.

V picked up the chip and held it in his hand. This chip may only record part of Jack's memory, but he will take it back and give it to Jack's girlfriend, Misty, or to Jack's mother, Mrs. Wells.

"Jack, let's go home." He said, sprinkled a handful of loess on the grave, and then turned around.

This is the evil land outside the city of night, the ruins, precipitous on the cliffs, seem to be silent destruction, with gray dilapidation sandwiched between them.Tumbleweeds are everywhere, climbing up this desolate mountain wall.

This is the normal state of this world. Due to many company wars, the outside of the city is basically a piece of wasteland. Even careful observation can reveal many bomb craters.

Why is Night City rotten like that, and there are still countless people who want to squeeze in, because it is even more difficult to survive in the bad land outside the city.

It's the same shit, just in a different place.

The sun shines through and shines on the desolate wasteland, ruined, dilapidated, and rotten. V walks on the wasteland in a daze, just like this ruin.

Suddenly, the soil just now seemed to be pulled away, and then, a hand stretched out from the soil.

"Fuck! Who buried me!"

The sudden sound pulled V's thoughts back, and he saw Jack crawling out of the ground covered in dirt, spitting out a large amount of dirt, and retching constantly.

V froze, rubbed his eyes, and seemed to suspect that he was hallucinating.

After Jack spit out a big mouthful of dirt, he waved at V.

"We escaped, and then Night City will welcome their living legends!" Jack smiled, and the big man cast a long shadow under the wasteland.

"You're not dead? Jack, you're not dead? I clearly felt that you were completely brain-dead..." V murmured, and he seemed to believe that it was his hallucination.

"Have you forgotten my abilities?" Jack said.

He thought that his ability might not be used in this life, but he didn't expect to use it now and save his life.

Jack's ability, the perseverance of a C-level is unstoppable.

"copy!"

V came over and punched Jack in the face, knocking him to the ground.

"Copy! Why did you hit me when you stepped on the horse?" Jack roared, there was still a big hole in his abdomen at this time, and his perseverance just continued his life, not resurrection with full blood.

A hand reaches out, and Jack looks at V, then extends his hand as well.

"Jack, let's go home." V said, hugging Jack tightly.

The two need to continue walking back to a motel on the edge of Night City, where there is a prosthetic doctor prepared by Aranoba Laishu, and the two need to change their brain-computer chips and make fine-tuning of their appearance.

Moreover, Jack's state can only be said to be barely alive. He still needs to find a prosthetic doctor as soon as possible to replace the prosthetic organ and transfuse blood, otherwise he will still die after the time of perseverance disappears.

The bad news is that the wounds on the abdomen are all swollen and rotted away. The good news is that they are all necrotic and will not bleed. When the time comes, they will all be replaced with prosthetic bodies, and Mr. Lai Xuan will pay for all the expenses.

……

Li Wei returned to his office, and it took at least four rounds of swindling before he escaped the pursuit.

You know, almost all the top management of Araba in Night City are his and Araba Laixuan's people, and NCPD was also bought by them. wave.

All the above are his people, so what can Takemura Goro fight against him.

Li Wei is just equivalent to feeling the world's top combat power. The result is very strong, but he can still handle it. The problem is not very big.The strength of the strongest cyborg under mechanical ascension in this era can be close to the A-level in the system evaluation, but it is a partial one.

Because of this, he has a little more confidence in provoking a company war, and maybe he can really handle the siege of several top-level reformers by then.

Takemura Goro was partly dismantled, and then fled, because his speed was very fast, and in the end, all of them were violent and terrorist mobile units that attacked Li Wei.

It is now 2076, and Arai Yoshinobu's power has not yet reached its peak, and he still needs to act. He has only controlled the Arai company in Night City, and he has not had time to control the Arai headquarters in Fuso.

Therefore, they still need to fool the rest of the Araba group until Aranobu Laishu truly controls the entire Araba group.

After Li Wei sorted out his clothes a little, he changed into the president's suit and came to the office.

Today, the Golden King didn't sink into his heart. Instead, he came to Levi's laboratory where he studied cyberpsychiatry.

"What? Didn't Xinwang users increase today?" Li Wei asked.

"No, the heart network has been growing exponentially recently, but I can't stand being immersed in it all day, so let's take a break and take a look at your experimental results." The Golden King said.

He felt that he should teach some students, and then send those students to teach other people, so that a single spark could start a prairie fire, and he couldn't bear it all by himself.

He already has several candidates, a woman named Judy, another woman named Qiwei, and a man named Falco. These people seem to be very interested in his ideas.

The Golden King looked at the experiment report and said directly: "The source of cyberpsychosis is not the prosthetic body, the prosthetic body is just the fuse."

"Oh? Tell me." Li Wei asked.

"Do you know Li Wei, according to my observations, our super gene medicine actually has the effect of relieving cyber psychosis, do you think it's weird." Golden King said.

"Is there still such an effect?" Li Wei really didn't pay attention. To be reasonable, the super gene medicine is only 0.03% prion protein plus normal saline. How could it alleviate cyber psychosis?

Could it be that after the injection of prion protein, the nerves of the human being are more resilient, and the ability to withstand prosthetic bodies is stronger?

"Indeed, Yoshida Ye hasn't been injected with inhibitors for five days, but now she eats everything deliciously. She has gained five catties without any prosthetic body these days." Golden King said.

"Ah..."

"There is another subject of observation, a man named Mann, who is also on the verge of cyberpsychosis, but he did not use inhibitors for 4 days after being injected with the super gene medicine, and his mental state has improved a lot. Do you know why?" the Golden King asked.

"The Riddler get out of Night City. You know I'm not a researcher, so let's just say the conclusion."

"The so-called cyber mental illness is actually no different from the mania of ordinary psychosis, except that the lethality caused by the prosthetic body's runaway is stronger." Golden King said,

"Let me make an analogy. A person who can't swim but wears a lot of clothes drowns. The clothes on his body absorb water and make him unable to swim. The prosthetic body is just the clothes that absorb water. The real problem lies in the water. , the one who pushed him into the water."

"Then, the medicines for treating cyberpsychosis on the market are equivalent to throwing an oxygen cylinder to a drowning person, but how long can a person who can't swim at all survive even with an oxygen cylinder? Taking off your clothes is just delaying the time of death for someone on the verge of cyberpsychosis."

He put away the research materials, walked over, raised his head, and looked at the moon in Night City.

Because of the light pollution in Night City, the city can't see the stars, only a lone moon.

"You also know that the root of cyberpsychosis is actually this river. What makes people suffocate is just the water poured into the windpipe. And our super gene medicine is equivalent to throwing a wooden board to this desperate drowning person. , he was able to hold on to the plank for a brief respite, and even luckily swam back to shore along the plank."

"Then what does this water represent?" Li Wei also looked at the moon.

"What do you think?" the Golden King asked back.

"Hehe." Li Wei smiled self-deprecatingly.

The Golden King continued: "And our great plan is equivalent to draining the entire river and distributing it to everyone. By then, there will never be any drowning people in the world again, and this water will be drained from murderous things. become something that saves lives.”

Chapter 260: New Star Middleman David

Saburo Arasaka died, and the whole world was shocked.

Arabata Yoshinobu began to cry in front of the reporters, and said that this was an assassin sent by a hostile company to collapse Araba's company, and he would be obliged to lead the Arabata Group to move forward.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Arabata Yoshinobu held the World Company Conference, and everyone from all companies had to participate.

The time is set in two months, because the senior management of each company needs to arrange a schedule and even make preparations.

The person who killed Saburo Arata was announced, and Jack Wells, the Arata Group and NCPD said that he had been shot dead.

The incident caused by Saburo Arata's death ended in such a hasty way, and Night City returned to calm again, but there was an extra drink called "Jack Wells" in the afterlife bar. After the mercenaries got drunk, The savage man who shot Arasaka Saburo will be mentioned in the conversation.

Night City is still Night City, the company is still the company, nothing has changed.

The doorbell rang, and a boy with a punk hair came in.

"Boss, I'm here to get the goods." David looked at Li Wei and said.

He knew about yesterday's city-wide alarm, and after that, he couldn't contact V.

Combined with V's previous words that seemed to be confessing the funeral, David seemed to understand everything. V and Jack were planning to assassinate Saburo Arita, and the instigator of everything was the man in front of him.

"There are nearly [-] pieces produced now, can you eat them?" Li Wei said.

"I can." David said firmly, as if expressing his determination.

"Then I'll let someone take you there later. David, now that V is gone, you can be my white glove for a while and help me with the dirty work." Levi said.

"I will, Boss, let me ask, are V and Jack really dead..." David said, no matter what, he was still only 17 years old.

"Would you believe me if I said no?" Levi returned.

"letter."

"Okay, let's sell medicines. Try to cover the bottom people instead of selling to the rich. If it's for the rich, I can sell it directly to the barren pharmacy instead of letting you hire Soldiers for sale." Li Wei said.

"I see, BOSS." David left the office.

In just one day, he felt that the burden on his shoulders was much heavier.
