Start a Core Pod

 Chapter 795 The beginning of chaos

According to the coordinates provided by Regina, the group came to a dilapidated warehouse in the north of Night City. There, D met an anxious Regina.

 “Where are the people?”

 After meeting D, the first question Regina asked was this. And D made a gesture to Lucy, who opened the trunk and dragged the unlucky idiot out.

 “So this is all true, damn...”

Looking at the cyber madman in front of her, Regina gritted her teeth and then looked at D.

"Now we are in big trouble... Maybe you don't know it yet. In fact, after receiving your data, I investigated it and found that it is related to an important project in Arasaka - do you know RELIC?"

“That soul chip, right? There are advertisements on TV every day, it’s really annoying.”

Hearing Regina's question, D raised his eyebrows and answered. In fact, this is also the reason why D is determined to operate on Arasaka - to digitize people's souls and become immortal... Haha, the moment he heard this, D immediately thought of the Necrontyr and the Star God, **** himself If we don't tear Arasaka Company into pieces, what's the point?

"Yes, after investigation, I found that this should be another project of Arasaka Company's digital soul...! If we can expose this matter, then Arasaka Company will be finished!"

“That’s because no one wants to be artificially turned into a cyber madman…so Arasaka will definitely try his best to stop us.”

 “That’s right.”

Regina nodded, then she stared at Lucy and Panam behind D.

 “Who else knows about this?”

 “For now, it’s just the four of us.”

　　………Okay, where’s the data?”

"it's here."

D took out the chip and handed it over.

 “Oh, by the way, I have a backup.”

“That’s a good thing, but we also have to think about how to play this card.”

Regina nodded.

"Arasaka controls most of the media, but even so, once problems with the Digital Soul Project are revealed, Arasaka will be completely finished. But the question is, when, where, and to whom should we reveal all this. "

“Since you said that, there must be a direction?”

"Of course, the latest international information security conference will be held in Munich, and if I can find a way to get in there, then I can make this topic public, which will definitely hit Arasaka Corporation in an unimaginable way. I hope you can go with me Munich, at least this will make my movements much safer."

“Then let Lucy and Panam follow you.”

  D doesn't care at all.

"I will stay here to attract Arasaka's attention. As long as they feel that the data is still with me, they will not trouble you. In addition, I also have very important things to do in Night City."

"you sure?"

 Hearing D's answer, Regina was quite surprised.

"Arasaka must regard you as the number one suspect. This city is almost entirely under Arasaka's control. You stay here..."

 “It’s just Arasaka, I haven’t taken it seriously yet.”

  D waved his hand.

 “Okay then, let’s set off immediately!”

"Now?"

　　Lucy and Panan were both shocked when they heard Regina's words.

 “Wait, is this too fast?”

"If you continue to delay, Arasaka will kill you at any time. They will never let anyone who may know about this matter go. Or do you want to stay here and wait for the pursuit from Arasaka like D?"

"Well………"

 Hearing Regina's words, Lucy and Panan looked at each other.

“Quick! Let’s buy a ticket to Munich now and enter the airport in the shortest possible time! Let’s set off immediately!”

Facing Regina's urging, Lucy and Panan had no choice but to bite the bullet and get into Regina's car, while the latter looked at D.

"Don't die. I suggest you hide nearby for a while. As long as we reveal what Arasaka did at the Munich Security Conference, you will be safe."

“Don’t worry about me, maybe when you come back, Night City will be completely different.”

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　?)

Hearing D's answer, Regina was a little surprised, but she still smiled at D.

“I hope so. To be honest, I don’t think Night City can be much better. After all, this city is just like this...Hey, but this is definitely the biggest news in my career, so just take it.”

After saying this, Regina stepped on the accelerator, and a moment later she drove and disappeared on the other side of the street. But D just looked at her leaving figure and said nothing.

  【She will definitely not like what you do】

At the same time, Lumière’s voice sounded in D’s ears.

"Inquisitors never do things to please people. People fear us and hate us, but it doesn't matter to the Inquisitors. We are just completing our work, our duties, everything we do."

  D withdrew his gaze and looked around.

“To be honest, she made the right decision not to inform Arasaka.”

【I also think so】

 Lumiere also agreed with D's remarks. Indeed, if it were another middleman, he would probably have to cut off from D at this time and maybe even sell it back. But D is sure that Regina will not. This is not because of how much D trusts Regina, but from the perspective of stakes, this will not do any good to Regina - Arasaka wants to kill everyone who knows about this. people, then Regina herself will definitely be dealt with. Not to mention that Regina used to work as a reporter. She must have seen a lot of things like killing people and killing donkeys. Taking a step back, even if she sold D today, she might die from Arasaka's gun tomorrow. That's her. On the other hand, if this matter is exposed and Arasaka is killed, then she will be safe forever.

 So Regina is quite reliable in this regard.

 But others are less reliable.

 “Let’s go to the next life.”

 Thinking of this, D made a decision.

“It’s time to cause some trouble for that old woman who always likes to avoid things.”

 That's right, D is talking about Rogge. If Regina is a loyal middleman, then this old woman has sold her out more than once, even though D was strong enough and could escape every time. But the other party's "Since you can handle it, then it's no problem" attitude made D very unhappy.

So she doesn't mind going to the next life at all and causing some trouble for that old woman - when the Arasaka Intelligence Department comes to the door, her expression will definitely be very exciting.

 The next life will be as noisy and noisy as ever. For D, he really doesn’t like this disco-like environment at all. To be honest, D can't understand why some people like this, just like he can't understand why some people like rock music - that kind of steel noise gives people a headache, and the hoarse roar represents rebellion and freedom. In the final analysis, it's not HIGH That’s all, dyed with yellow hair and tattoos, smoking cigarettes and drinking wine, jumping on the dance floor like a madman, thinking that he is rebellious, non-mainstream, and free.

But when those country women come to **** your things in front of you, every one of them is more cowardly than the guard dog, and they don't even dare to bark. The so-called rock and roll spirit, freedom and resistance are all gone, and what remains is a group of brats who only dare to lower their heads and mutter submissiveness.

 “Hey, D.”

Claire behind the counter said hello to D.

"What's the matter? Rogge hasn't come yet."

 “No, just come and look around.”

 “It’s really unexpected that you’d come here to hang out... What do you want?”

 “Same old, a bottle of Lele Monkey.”

"coming."

Taking the drink, D found a corner and sat down in a less noisy place, sipping the drink and looking around. Perhaps because it was daytime, there were not many people here. But at night, there will be more people here. Now there are only some mercenaries with no mission here to pass the time...

“Ah, D...I didn’t expect to see you here.”

 A voice rang in D's ears. D looked up and saw a **** fat man wearing a gold chain standing in front, looking at him with a smile. D knows him. His name is Dexter, and he is also a relatively famous middleman in the next life. But unlike Regina and Wakako, who all have their own affairs, he belongs to the entire Night City and wanders around, no matter where he is. He would accept any commission - D had dealt with him once or twice before and had accepted commissions, but they were only casual acquaintances.

 “What, Rogge has a mission?”

 “I’m just here to sit.”

 “It’s really rare that you come here to sit and sit.”

 The **** fat man spread his hands.

“In that case, do you want to accept my commission?”

“I plan to take a vacation recently to rest, and I don’t plan to accept any commissions for the time being.”

D put down the Lele Monkey in his hand and glanced at the **** fat man, who didn't care at all.

 “No problem, I’ll contact you if I have anything to do later.”

 After saying this, the **** fat man led his bodyguards to the corridor on the other side - well, there is a private room there. It seems that another unlucky person is going to board the **** fat man's pirate ship today.

 While drinking the drink, D looked away again and began to discuss the next plan with Lumière.

  【Arasaka Yorinobu has arrived in Night City, but he did not go to Arasaka Tower, but stayed in the penthouse suite of Kanbi Building】

“I thought he would go to Arasaka Tower to inspect, but this prince is not interested at all?”

　　【According to information searched on the Internet, he once led the gang to rebel against Arasaka Company, but failed. Maybe Arasaka Yorinobu himself does not like Arasaka Company】

“The rebellious youth in the second grade of middle school are like this. They have no plans or ideas, and act only with enthusiasm and blood. In the end, they lose to reality... Hey, it’s not too late to read a few more books.”

　　D snorted lightly.

“But fortunately, this bait is still very useful. Are you sure Arasaka Saburo will come to Night City?”

　　　【Yes, Lord Inquisitor, according to the intranet intelligence, Arasaka Yorinobu stole RELIC and is currently planning to join forces with the Network Supervisor and sell RELIC to the Network Supervisor. And Saburo Arasaka will secretly go to the Kanbi Building to meet with Yorinobu Arasaka]

“That’s good, we’ll just deal with the two of them together, plus Arasaka Hanako...have you already implanted the virus?”

 【Yes, but Hanako Arasaka is not from the Arasaka Group...】

"This has nothing to do with us. To completely destroy the Arasaka Group, we must completely destroy everything that may allow it to continue. Fortunately, these are the only people left in the Arasaka family. As long as we kill them all, then the Arasaka Company will Falling into a leaderless situation, and cooperating with the information revealed by Regina, Arasaka has no choice but to die this time. And then..."

 However, before D had finished speaking, suddenly, an excited voice came from not far away.

"Hey, look, it's right here, V, the beating heart of Night City. Can you imagine? Susan Forrest, Old Snake, and even Morgan Blackhand... have all sat on these stools , slept on this bar."

D raised his head and saw a sturdy man with a bun leading a young man into the next life. The man looked around excitedly and introduced something to his companions.

 “Two unlucky newcomers again.”

  D looked back and shook his head. Every day, self-righteous newcomers come here, eager to become a prominent figure in Night City. However, as far as D is concerned, there is no honor and reputation here. In the final analysis, no matter how famous they are, mercenaries are still mercenaries. It's just a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy under the company.

At this moment, D saw Rogge walking over. When she saw herself, Rogge's expression was obviously surprised.

“Yo, D, you’re actually here?”

 “Just casually walking around.”

 Seeing Rogge, D chuckled, stood up, and nodded to her.

"Okay, it's time for me to go back. I wish you good luck."

 After saying this, D left directly, while Rogge looked at D doubtfully - for some reason, she always felt that D's last sentence was somewhat meaningful.
