I'm not a cyberpsycho

good guy

Li Pan called him such a good guy

I burned 140 trillion in ten years but failed to win...

The continental shelf was also flooded, and the remaining people could only reincarnate as fish-men...

What the hell can you say? The corporate war is just a joke on you. Don’t mess around if you don’t have any sense.

Although he was a little reluctant to part with it, Li Pan also admitted that the Holy Grail bidding war Plan A had to be stopped for the time being. Otherwise, no one would believe this short essay.

Although two trillion is a lot, it is only the reconstruction cost of at least two urban areas in Night City, but compared with the military expenditure over there, which is often tens of trillions... it is incomparable. One trillion is a small-scale PMC mercenary company with a full battle fleet. One hundred and forty trillion is probably hundreds of such companies until they go bankrupt, and dozens of teams are all empty.

Tsk tsk, look at the scale and volume of the Holy Grail War, Li Pan estimates that if he doesn't come up with a serious plan that is well-founded, there are still collectors in 0791 making trouble, and the company's superiors won't even say let him give it a try. Hang him up a little more.

Well, it was indeed a bit of a miscalculation. After all, Li Pan had only been out of the slums for a few months and had not seen much of the world.

Before, he really felt that there was no need to go to war.

After all, you see there are so many monsters in 0791 that dozens of warehouses are not enough to store them, and the defense is so lax that he can steal a lot of them, so nothing will happen.

Now there is just such a cup. When you get it, you have to pay some money, then find a warehouse to put it in and complete the process. Talk to the elders of the vampire clan, blend it, and allow them to borrow it at any time. This matter will not be easy. Is the slip settled?

For Ye Shi, is it just a matter of changing the location of the seal? What's the loss? What's more, it can deepen the relationship between the two companies, and the matter is over here, isn't it? Even if you lose some money, you shouldn't go to war, right?

When the time comes, Li Pan will be able to get away with a trillion yuan in kickbacks.

But now it seems that this idea is a bit naive.

If the 'Holy Grail' is really something that all the companies in the world have heard about, they will not only risk their lives to grab it, but they will even fight until the continental shelf is submerged. And the Ye family has the support of the First Bank behind it, and even Lenovo By the time the Collector appeared in 0791 to set up a stronghold, the Morguls had joined the Trade Agreement between the Heavens behind Monster Company's back. This series of things should be considered together.

Then the nature and scale of the bidding war that was triggered this time may be completely different from those in the past.

At that time, I am afraid that the Holy Grail will become a trigger, and a corporate war at the safety committee level will directly break out. And 0791 was the first to bear the brunt and became a battlefield.

To put it bluntly, even if Li Pan really stole the Holy Grail, even if he could get the money, and even if he fled to the ends of the world, Ye Shi would not let him go. Even if Ye Shi lets him go, the tax bureau will not let him go...

In short, the fundamental reason for the misjudgment of Ye's strength this time was that Li Pan was blinded by money, but the indirect reason was Emilia's deliberate concealment.

Li Pan, an acting manager who had just taken over the company, had a disdain for all the forces in the world and did not know the true strength of the Ye family. Didn't she, Emilia, a noble knight who grew up as a housekeeper, not know about her family's wealth?

Could she not know that throwing away the 'Holy Grail' would start a war?

It was impossible, she knew it very well, but she still came to defraud. She was deliberately concealing it and diverting the trouble away.

Now that he has calmed down and thought carefully, Li Pan can guess some reasons.

Of course Emilia didn't 'forget' to mention Ye's strength for a moment. But according to her own words, she was desperate and risked her life.

Now that her backer, the Archduchess of the Aemilius clan, was killed, the majestic knight captain of the family was instantly relieved of his power and was kicked out to sit on the bench. With no money and power, there was no hope of being promoted to elder, and there was also the risk of blood mourning. , then why do you still care so much at this time?

After I die, I won't care about the flood.

Take the time to make a last buck and run away. If she could really switch jobs and join TheM Company, she, as a defector, would still have opportunities to shine and room for advancement when the fight with the Ye family started. This was a shrewd calculation.

And if we get a little more conspiracy-minded, could it be that all of this was a set-up from the very beginning?

The assassination of the Grand Duke was part of Amakusa Shiro and the werewolf's plan, wasn't it? Duan Kecheng intervened and didn't change the planned future?

Ye's investment in the Pacific area and the Collector's plan for the site were already planned and cast, right?

The gods and demons tried to invade 0791. Duan Kecheng's birth has even been reincarnated and sacrificed three times. It is bound to be a disaster sooner or later, isn't it?

So is it possible that Emilia's defection to the company with the Holy Grail is still part of the blueprint, a piece of the puzzle?

0791 Aren’t experienced former company managers and employees inexplicably wiped out by the group?

Didn't she just happen to be able to trick Li Pan, a fool who had only been employed for two months?

He was so obsessed with money and so stupid that he only applied for 2 trillion, or even only 1 trillion at the beginning, for war funds, and started a random war with the Ye family, starting a bidding war for the Holy Grail, and starting a war.

And when Ye Shi really goes to war and mobilizes people from all over the world to join the war, how can he, an ordinary general manager, cope with it?

Then wouldn't TheM Company be involved sooner or later and fall into a 140 trillion war?

Maybe you even fell into a battlefield chosen by others, planned by others, ambushed by others, being bloodletted one after another, consuming the chips on the card table, and finally suffered a fatal blow from behind by an invisible enemy?

It has actually started now, hasn't it? Will a serious lackey of the Security Bureau really assassinate a company dog ​​for the sake of mere 'fellowship'?

Insidious, insidious...

Danger, danger...

The world is full of dangers...

Looking at the attractive contract, there are actually so many traps lurking in it. If you are greedy for this kickback and don't investigate more and hesitate more, you may be trapped in the blink of an eye.

Is this cruel market competition...

Li Pan held his chin and thought at his desk for a long time, analyzing the current mess and considering the available cards in his hand.

The more I thought about it, the more suspicious I became. I wasn’t sure about this, and something wasn’t right about that. The previous plan of ‘just grab the cup and run away’ became less and less confident.

What's the use of the Nine Yins and Four Transformations, and what's the use of the Blood God Son's Dacheng?

In this money-splitting world and money-burning game, Li Pan, who has a debt of 50 million, has a fighting power of minus 50 million...

Just as Li Pan analyzed a lot, he finally fell into the question: How to make money? Where to get money? How to make money if you have no money? cannot extricate itself from the endless cycle. A phone call rang again, waking him up from his reverie.

"boss!"

"Huh? Eighteen, how about you?"

"My satellite backup is complete! I need your authorization to access the technology department server."

Oh, yes, there is another one. Oh, what are you thinking about? Trillions, just go to work honestly...

So Li Pan went to the technical department, and according to Shiba's instructions, he "authorized" here and "permitted" there. The connection of the new device is completed.

Now 0791's technical department resources, Brain Computer.18, in addition to the big snake.18 main server on the ground, also added a professional military communication hub purchased by TSC. In principle, it is 3D printing, and the brain scan is backed up in the new server. Stored on a meteorite-modified military satellite. It's like making a prosthetic clone of the brain tank's body.

The satellite hub .18 that has now completed its launch and upload is hidden deep in the deep space of the Kuiper belt. Even Li Pan does not know the coordinates. Only the head office has positioning authority.

The satellite looks like an ice meteorite, but it is actually a small flying object modified by TSC. It has a cruise-class hull structure, is equipped with a jump engine, and can plan its own orbit. It also has a full set of communication servers built in HT Technology, which is independent. defense system, and orbital turret warning.

In addition to the super hub that enhances computing power, there are also 24 low-Earth orbit spy satellites. It is on the same level as the Security Bureau. It not only has basic spying functions, but can also establish global encrypted communication channels and separate sub-networks. All firewalls and anti-virus are the latest versions, providing absolute network security support for company employees.

It can be said that unless, no, even if the security bureau really wants to rebel, it may not be able to break through the company's newly upgraded security network to locate, monitor and hack employees.

Well, the company is so generous, mainly because they were really shocked by the security bureau's courage this time. Dare to kill even company employees? What do you want to do next? Rebellion?

"Boss, do you have anyone you want to track? Don't you want to try the equipment?"

You want to try it...

Li Pan said casually, "Check where K is."

Eighteen, "...I didn't find out. They went underground to catch werewolves and never came out..."

Li Pan rolled his eyes, any new equipment could not penetrate walls, it was not as good as his divine consciousness. Ahem, okay, his consciousness can only penetrate plywood, and he can't sweep through the reinforced concrete and lead-plated three-defense facilities in the Tokyo underground city.

"Boss! Let's change it!"

"Oh... then let's find the werewolf."

"Boss...oh, I found the boss! The little she-wolf!"

"Um?"

We actually found her, and through body shape and pheromone detection, it was directly confirmed that it was Leticia!

The other party is actually still alive, and he hasn't noticed that someone has placed a demon doll on him to track him.

At this time, she was hiding under a private signal tower in a residential building in the suburbs, using a communicator to try to contact someone.

"Do you want to monitor the communication?"

"Is that okay? Then turn around secretly."

"Okay~~"

Then……

Leticia, "Hey Amakusa! Arrange a rescue quickly! The night crawlers are chasing us like mad dogs and biting us!"

Um? ? ?

Then Li Pan heard the synthesized electronic sound,

"It's probably because you took too long and didn't meet up at the retreat location as planned."

"You still have the nerve to say that! It's completely different from what you promised. When we rushed into the carriage, the Grand Duchess was already dead! There was also a disgusting monster like a big-headed baby chasing us all the way! And he was touching us. My head feels so disgusting!"

"... You took too much medicine... Anyway, did you get her chip? Is it in your hand?"

"I got it, I got it, don't you listen to me, there is really a ghost in this place..."

"Okay, Hound. If you have any questions, we'll talk to you later. I'll arrange for someone to pick you up now."

"Wait! Our people are surrounded by nightwalkers. I finally managed to get out and contact you. Send someone to support us!"

"...Okay, send me the coordinates. You retreat first, and I will arrange for the Red Tengu to rescue the others."

"Okay! As soon as possible! Everyone can't hold it anymore!"

Ha... interesting... Although the voice has been synthesized, the tone and rhythm do feel a bit similar to Amakusa Shiro who I have communicated with before. And if you think about the small gifts in the cabin, this so-called 'retreat as planned' is probably like reincarnation in a different world.

"Eighteen, can you locate the person you're calling?"

"We can only roughly lock the opponent on Mars, using an independently encrypted military channel. If we let them communicate with each other again, we can try to locate the opponent's base, but that's it. To track further, we have to hack Entering the fleet ICE may trigger an alarm."

Li Pan nodded,

"It's enough to be able to confirm the specific base. If the cruiser can be mobilized, there are not many people of his rank. Okay, follow the little she-wolf!"

"Boss, do you want to keep this communication confidential? You authorize me to keep it confidential."

"Keep it secret! Call me a taxi!"

Li Pan quickly set off for the suburbs, trying to intercept Leticia before she evacuated. As a result, as soon as we arrived in the suburbs, we heard the call from the Eighteenth Contact.

"Boss, someone else is also looking for her. The communication just now may have been exposed."

"Who is it, the Security Bureau or the Ye family?"

As he had been wearing casual clothes for the past two days, Li Pan bought a gas mask and an acid rain-proof raincoat from the roadside to cover his face.

"Maybe there were people on both sides. There were several groups of people... She smelled the smell and started to run away! Shots were fired! Oh! Jumped over from the roof of the building!"

Oh, cyberparkour, right? Don’t mention it, the pigeon cage slums in the suburbs are really suitable for parkour.

"Plan the route. She will probably go into the sewer. Let's go ahead and intercept her."

The eighteenth general's escape route of the little she-wolf and the outflanking operation of the pursuers were broadcast live. This girl was wearing a camouflage uniform and her face looked like it was smeared with shit. She seemed to have come out of a smelly ditch.

Probably as she said, the werewolves were chased by night crawlers in the sewers in the past two days and were cornered, but there was even more of a dragnet on the ground. These people murdered the Grand Duchess, how could the Security Bureau and the Ye family let them go. Although Amakusa Shiro and Red Tengu cannot be trusted, there is no other choice for the werewolves.

Li Pan paused while looking at the real-time satellite images arranged by Shiba. There were too many people coming to hunt wolves.

Plainclothes officers arrived at the nearby entrance to the underground city. Shiba also detected a secret military channel. It appeared every three minutes and then disconnected immediately. This was to prevent eavesdropping. To put it bluntly, there were already snipers nearby. . Shiba was not found either. It seemed to be camouflaged in military optical camouflage.

With such comprehensive preparations, maybe this was not accidentally monitored, or Amakusa Shiro simply sold Leticia directly.

It was obvious that these werewolves were disposable. K wanted to capture them alive and interrogate the mastermind behind it, and the mastermind behind the murder of the Grand Duchess would never let them survive.

But this is to be expected. If the rabbit is dead, the dog will be cooked. What's the use of beating you? If you have done all the swearing, you will be punished by the superiors. People are willing to spend money to recruit as many dead soldiers as possible. I have to keep you in trouble. Are people being arrested?

Placing high expectations on the moral bottom line of the superior is the way to death as a chess piece.

Li Pan estimated that the little she-wolf could hold on for a while, and there was no chance to get close to the scene of the gunfight on the rooftop for the time being. He just found a ramen restaurant and sat in, calling Emilia on his personal channel.

Emilia's lazy voice came over.

"Hey~ are you ready~"

"Still busy, but soon. How are you doing over there?"

"Of course I can start at any time. Have you forgotten that I'm almost unemployed?"

"Why don't you feel energetic? Did you just wake up?"

"I just didn't sleep..."

Emilia sent a photo, which was taken from her perspective. The hall often appeared on TV. It was the Senate of the Ye Group. The elders of the vampire clan were arguing in a pot of porridge. After all, it appeared now. There are two vacancies for the two princes, and it is impossible for Ye's headquarters to parachute two alternate princes at once, so someone must be able to take over.

As a result, the blood of these immortal elders began to boil again. They put forward their own proposals and plans, sought allies and supporters, fought for votes and internal transactions, and sought to serve as the new governor of 0791.

However, it can also be seen that Emilia is really marginalized. She is far away from the seat of the meeting and is basically watching the door.

"Hurry up, you will miss this village without this store."

She then posted a benefit selfie looking down at the neckline of a low-cut evening gown.

"Oh, I'll keep trying!"

After hanging up the call, Li Pan thought for a moment and called Yulia, the elder of the Ye clan.

The other party didn't answer, and the communication went directly to the real person avatar simulated by the intelligent voice, so Li Pan made an appointment with the other party to have dinner in heaven that night.

Excluding other Collectors' Security Bureau matters, if we simply talk about who benefited the most from the death of the Grand Duchess, and who is the killer of the Grand Duchess, then Julia must be at the forefront of the suspects.

First of all, she is the legitimate daughter of the Julius family. She has the opportunity and capital for promotion, and has strong resource support behind her. If a position is available among the three princes, she has the greatest chance of ascending to the throne. This can be seen from the fact that she was able to meet Li Pan alone before the Grand Duchess, not to mention that two positions were now vacant.

At the moment when the Senate was fighting for the election, she did not appear and did not answer Li Pan's communications. At the same time, the operation to capture the werewolves was in progress. Is she the one paying attention to all this?

Furthermore, if you think about it carefully, the Shura Society has risen rapidly in recent years and has almost become a powerful underworld organization as famous as the Dongcheng Society. Is that because of Shura Niangui's personal efforts? As the backer of the Shura Society, if Yulia herself didn’t have any ideas, how could she support so many idle people when she was full? Doesn’t it cost money to recruit soldiers and train dead soldiers?

Therefore, Li Pan suspected that Yulia should be planning, or at least participating in, the murder of the Grand Duchess. Maybe these werewolves were smuggled in under her arrangement, and now that they have been used, they must be eradicated.

"Boss, she was shot."

Ugh, that's it.

Hidden arrows are difficult to guard against. Li Pan himself has been shot three times. He knows this very well. Snipers are the most capable of restraining all kinds of supermen these days. No matter how strong your body is, you can't withstand special bullets. Level 4 is not enough, so level 5 is not enough, and level 5 is not enough for customization. If customization is not enough, use individual naval guns. If you aim at it, you can't dodge it.

So Leticia was no exception. The moment she tried to jump over the building to escape, she was shot in the abdomen and fell into the garbage. It seemed that her thighs and spine were broken. She could only spray blood from her mouth and nose. She was so desperate. Looking at the sky, he looks like a dying dog.

Li Pan took a bite of noodles and looked at Leticia from a distance through the satellite live broadcast. Watching this woman unable to hold up her broken arm, she stretched it towards the sky.

Probably he was very unwilling to be tricked to death like this.

Well, I don’t want to be led to death like this.

"Ballistic identification completed, sniper, locked."

Okay, let's go and pick up the wild dog.

So Li Pan glanced at the pursuers located on the satellite cloud map, drank the noodle soup in one gulp, put on the gas mask and stood up.

"Boss, is the car at the door yours? Sell it to me for ten thousand."

“Thank you for your patronage!!”

Li Pan didn't waste any time. He pulled off the license plate of the compact grocery cart, started off with oil on the floor, and drove out along the narrow aisle.

"Eighteen! I authorize you! Hack them!"

"Okay! ICE breached! Group positioning, communication interference, prosthetic eye shutdown, weapon blockade, prosthetic body failure, chip overload, electromagnetic short circuit, system reset, memory erasure... Oh oh oh so fast so fast! Golem upload The speed is too fast, hahaha!"

Well, Shiba had a lot of fun...

So Li Pan stepped on the accelerator to the floor, knocking away the agents and killers who were crackling and sparking with lightning, dancing and shaking as if they were doing hip-hop dance, and rushed all the way to the garbage dump, killing Leticia. Pick it up and throw it in the trunk.

In broad daylight, he walked away.
