Chapter 259

Lin Qiao shook her head to deny it.

"There is nothing wrong with the idea of ​​sending biotechnology dirt to News 54, which is backed by military technology."

"But you are mistaken about the fact that there is no commercial conflict between military technology and biotechnology."

"This means that instead of offending the other party to death for so-called justice, it is better to use these black materials to achieve the facts that are beneficial to oneself."

And that’s what military technology is doing.

Pulled out a tablet. Leave it to Sasha, who has lost his hacking ability: "If you don't believe it, you can go up and check it yourself."

"..."

She took the tablet handed over by Lin Qiao with some trembling.

His fingers clicked on it a few times...and then his face became increasingly ugly.

[Congratulations to military technology and biotechnology for reaching close cooperation in multiple fields....]

Such a title seemed extremely irritating to Sasha.

The person who wrote this report was also a reporter from News 54.

As for the release time, it is this morning.

This is the company. It has already controlled every aspect of people's lives. Even if someone comes up with evidence against it, it only has the final say in its own hands.

Chapter 319 The choice left to Sasha

"..."

Frustrated, he put down the tablet in his hand.

Sasha had an expression on her face that didn't know whether she should be crying or laughing.

The resistance that I thought I was going to burn out my life ended up not causing even a splash of water.

Big companies still do whatever they want, they just make a little less money and have not restrained themselves because of this.

The truth obtained through all the efforts did not pierce the darkness and bring dawn to the city, but made the neon lights of military technology more dazzling.

Knowing that everything she had done had become someone else's wedding dress, Sasha took a few deep breaths and managed to calm down.

"...Main...how are they?"

As if she was worried about hearing some bad news from Lin Qiao, her tone became a little hesitant.

"Fortunately, at least there shouldn't be any problems in a short time."

But the subtext of this sentence is that it may not necessarily change over time...

But luckily I didn't hear the worst news.

But this is not really good news.

'It was my fault. ’

Sasha leaned against the bed with some frustration. The shirt on her body couldn't cover her figure at all... and even the looming figure made it even more attractive.

After scratching his hair irritably, he sighed.

Offending the Corporation in Night City will not end well.

Maybe she should have listened to Mainin's advice at that time, or simply stayed upstairs instead of fighting for a chance of survival...

Although I was ready to fly into a flame and die as a martyr, after I survived, I suddenly looked back and realized that everything I had done was an illusion and that I had dragged my companions into the water. All that was left was Guilt and remorse.

I kind of don't know how to face them.

"If... I had died there, maybe the situation would have been much better..."

After a long silence, Sasha let out a frustrated sigh.

"Indeed, if that's the case, Man Yin and the others just need to find a way to distance themselves from your relationship, instead of being implicated like they are now."

Lin Qiao affirmed Sasha's statement, and then looked at her playfully.

"But it's a pity that you neither died from the gunfire of the biotechnology security robot, nor died from the explosion and falling impact, but you survived."

"How was it? Are you disappointed?"

Hearing this, the former felt even more sad.

When I was a child, I could only watch my mother die in torture; when I grew up, I finally found out the truth but couldn't do anything, and even now I still hurt others.

She is really useless...

"What about you? After you spent so much effort to save me, what do you want to do?"

"Me? What I want to do has been done a long time ago, and now I'm just a mere spectator."

Whether it is advanced mimicry of genetic factors, false memory implantation experiments, or slight thought manipulation experiments, these have all been completed long ago.

Although the results were mixed, the overall outcome was on the good side - and he also eliminated the impact on Sasha.

"It's you, what do you want to do?"

"..."

Facing Sasha, who bowed his head and remained silent, Lin Qiao smiled.

He took out a gun and a bottle of pills from behind and placed them on the bedside table next to Sasha.

"It's easy to die. A bullet or a poison wrapped in sleeping pills can make you leave this world without any pain."

"After that, I will hand over your body to biotechnology... Of course, whether they will give up hunting Manin for this is none of my business."

"And for the sake of technical confidentiality, I will also restore your body to the way it was before treatment."

These words made Sasha's body stiffen, and Lin Qiao seemed to have seen through her thoughts.

She did have similar thoughts.

But when this idea was mercilessly picked out, Sasha felt as if someone had poured cold water on her. As her whole body went cold, the fire burning in her heart was extinguished and she calmed down.

Will Biotech let Mainin and his team go?

As long as they can explain clearly who blew up the factory in Santo Domingo, it's still okay.

——Well, actually, it won't happen.

"It seems that you also know that committing suicide can't solve the problem, so take back this ridiculous expression and idea."

Lin Qiao showed a sighing look, just like the expression of others who came to their senses after making a fool of themselves.

".... You saved me on purpose and came to me to say these things. It shouldn't be just to laugh at me, right?"

Sasha showed a complicated expression.

Even if he thought about it carefully, the other party should want to persuade himself to give up the idea of ​​suicide, but the means used.....

It can only be said that it is not so pleasing.

"It's not true, but it doesn't stop me from laughing at you."

"....."

So Sasha's expression became more complicated.

"What I can do for you at present is also what you can choose. There are only two ways-"

Ignoring Sasha's complicated psychological changes, Lin Qiao raised two fingers.

"First, I will reinstall your prosthetics and then let you go."

"As for whether you will go to find Maine and the others, leave Night City, or do anything else, it is up to you."

But of course, in order to keep his own abilities secret, before letting Sasha go, he will also erase the other party's related memories.

"What else?"

Sasha did not answer immediately - based on her previous experience as a mercenary, in such a situation of choosing one of two or more, the one proposed last is often the most valuable.

Of course, the accompanying risks are also the greatest.

"Second, I need you to do something for me, and in exchange, I can help you get company immunity and avoid being hunted down by biotechnology."

"What do you need me to do?"

"Don't worry, it's definitely not a cliché routine of asking you to wear a miniskirt and cat-ear maid costume to be a maid... But if you have this hobby, it's not impossible..."

"No!" He covered his chest with both hands, indicating a stern refusal.

"Okay, okay, if you don't have it, then you don't have it. Why are you shouting so loudly?" At the same time, facing the eyes of the two women in the room, Lin Qiao curled her lips.

"I need you to go inside Arasaka and help me monitor something and the people who might be paying attention to it..."

"Impossible." Before Lin Qiao finished speaking, Sasha refused.

No, this can't be called a refusal, but it's really impossible.

Not to mention that she is now wanted by biotechnology, and she will be found if she shows her face.

Even if all this is not available, it is impossible to do all this.

Different from stealing files or destroying and erasing targets.

Monitoring -

Just hearing it, you can tell that it will take a long time to complete the task.

If it were an ordinary person, it would be okay, but the problem is that Lin Qiao chose Arasaka as her target...

The outrageousness of this matter is no less than a drug dealer entering the Drug Enforcement Administration to monitor the movements of the police - if you want me to die, just say it directly, don't do these nonsense!

"Calm down, I didn't say I would let you go to Arasaka like this."

After comforting Sasha, Lin Qiao said slowly.

"A member of the Arasaka Special Operations Group has the privilege of acting independently, and his weight is even higher than that of the Arasaka Counterintelligence Department in Night City... What do you think of this identity? By the way, this is not a disguise that can be used once and then cannot be used again, but it exists for a long time."

"Are you... kidding?"

Sasha immediately thought that she should call the mental hospital and contact someone for a bed.

But I have never heard of cyberpsychosis having this symptom?

"Don't worry about it, just say whether you agree or not."

"...."

Looking at Lin Qiao's confident and playful expression, Sasha was silent for a while.

If this matter is false, then it goes without saying, just treat it as Lin Qiao's hysteria, but what if it is true...

At least she has no reason to refuse.

"What do you need me to do now?"

"Wait."

"Wait? Wait for what?"

"Wait for me to arrange the preconditions and wait for someone to come to Night City."

Chapter 320 The show begins

The next day

Boom——!

The sun has not yet risen. As a flash of light in the early morning streaks across the sky and finally falls to the ground, the entire Arasaka Tower enters an emergency state.

Beep-beep-beep!

The piercing alarm sounded in the Arasaka Tower.

[Notice! All combat readiness personnel must assemble urgently! Senior management personnel must immediately come to the 42-01 conference room! ]

[In addition, general staff members, please return to your workstations immediately and work normally. ]
