Chapter 623 Your trouble is solved
Jack's car is a modified motorcycle.
Chen Fan was sitting on the back seat of the motorcycle. Frankly speaking, based on his reaction ability, the speed of the motorcycle was not enough to give him the feeling of speed.
Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!
Chen Fan keenly captured the sound of gunshots in the distance.
"Has Night City always been so free?"
In addition to gunshots, he also heard explosions, two sounds occurring in different places.
Jack shrugged his shoulders.
"This is Night City." He answered Chen Fan with a word without any emotion.
Chen Fan sighed softly.
This is a deformed civilization. Big capitalists who control money rule the world, and they don't care about the lives of the people at the bottom.
The people at the bottom themselves don’t care.
In such a densely populated city, they are accustomed to gunfire and explosions.
Without an earth-shattering revolution, the world may develop according to the storyline of "The Terminator", with Saburo Arasaka or a few big capitalists of similar status to Saburo Arasaka controlling all the wealth.
After the poor have completely lost their value, the finalists will drive them off the planet.
But here he comes.
An ordinary citizen of the United Government may not be able to change anything, nor may a well-trained nanosoldier, as they may be incompetent or corrupt.
But planetary consciousness is different.
He just needs this planet to become what he wants it to be - a planet with a population that can produce scientists for the Coalition Government.
In return, he will give everyone on this planet a stable life.
This is trivial to him. Supporting human beings will be done by machines.
"Lizzie Bar."
Jack stopped his motorcycle on the side of the road. After thinking for two seconds, he said: "There is a special device here that can make people..."
"Chaomeng." Chen Fan took over.
Mewtwo is a special neural connection device that allows people to experience pre-recorded scenes immersively, similar to the Union Government's brainwave helmet.
Jack was stunned.
Do aliens also know Mewtwo?
Chen Fan turned over and got off the back seat of the motorcycle. He looked around.
Bang bang bang!
There is a basketball court in front of Lizzy Bar, where some street gangsters are playing basketball.
They didn't notice Jack and Chen Fan.
"Here is the best Mewtwo editor in Night City. You can experience it. You will definitely be surprised." Jack said with a smile, neon light shining on his face.
Chen Fan nodded: "It's worth looking forward to."
He looked at the basketball court in front of the bar.
If there are no changes in the plot due to his appearance, V will land on the basketball court in a floating car, causing dissatisfaction among the gangsters, and a small conflict will break out.
"Let's wait for your friend here." He said softly.
He planned to cut through the mess quickly.
When he sees V later, he will follow V back to Arasaka Company, where he will make his presence known to the humans on this planet.
Jack was stunned for a moment and then said: "Okay, it's up to you."
The two of them leaned against the wall and watched the gangsters play basketball.
These gangsters have more or less prosthetic bodies on them. Whether it is running speed, shooting accuracy, or jumping height, they are obviously beyond natural humans.
However, given the family background of these gangsters, they cannot afford any good prosthetics.
It would not be surprising if cyberpsychosis breaks out one day.
A few minutes later, a gorgeous aerial vehicle landed from mid-air. Since there was no aerial vehicle platform nearby, the aerial vehicle could only land on the basketball court.
"Holy shit!"
"Damn company dogs!"
"What the hell?"
The gangsters put down the basketballs in their hands and stood there watching.
"Your friend is here." Chen Fanyun said calmly.
"Huh?" Jack looked confused.
He did not doubt Chen Fan's words,
Because after getting along with him for a period of time, he had discovered that Chen Fan had some ability to predict the unknown.
He was just confused about this floating vehicle.
This floating car has the mark of Arasaka Company. Jack knows that V has a high position in Arasaka Company. He has even become the deputy director of the Counterintelligence Department. He is considered a middle-level cadre with real power.
But it's not to the point where you can travel in the company's floating car. That's a treatment only available to executives above the minister level.
The door of the float vehicle opened.
A dashing woman came out of the car. She was wearing a company suit and looked very elegant.
The gangsters saw that there was only one woman in the floating car, so they bravely walked over.
"Company dogs!" they cursed.
The woman frowned slightly.
She raised her hands, ready to teach these gangsters a lesson.
As a mid-level cadre of Arasaka Company, she has many high-end prosthetics issued by the company.
"CHICA!" A familiar voice sounded from her ears.
She turned to look and saw Jack walking toward her with his arms outstretched.
She smiled very naturally: "Jack, I thought you would wait for me inside."
Jack waved his hand: "My new brother asked me to wait outside."
"New brother?" V showed a confused expression.
Jack nodded, but he did not explain immediately. Instead, he looked at the gangsters next to V and said: "You dare to mess with a few blind bastards and the big shot in the float car. You are not afraid that your body will appear on the roadside." In the trash can?”
The gangsters were stunned for a moment.
The anger caused by the occupation of the basketball court quickly cooled down, and there were looks of panic on their faces.
In fact, they were not fools. They dared to surround him because they thought V was just a woman and easy to bully. Driven by their courage, they temporarily forgot their fear of the company.
When Jack mentioned it, they were immediately frightened.
Although there are many gangs, large and small, in Night City, everyone knows who really rules the city.
It's those skyscrapers in the company plaza.
Arasaka Corporation was the most hated of all the companies, their skyscraper was even flattened by a nuclear bomb once, but they came back quickly and built a taller and stronger one.
It's okay to bully ordinary Arasaka employees because of their large number of people, but bullying Arasaka executives?
"Ah! I'm sorry!"
"Let's go!"
"Don't let her see our faces!"
The gangsters fled like a pack of defeated dogs with their tails between their legs.
At this time, Chen Fan walked up to Jack.
"Chen Fan, this is V, the deputy director of the counterintelligence department of Arasaka Company." Jack said to Chen Fan first.
Chen Fan nodded slightly.
He once manipulated V to complete eight endings in the game, so he knew V very well, better than anyone in Night City.
Jack paused for a moment. He turned to look at V and said with a wonderful expression: "This is my new brother. His name is Chen Fan, and he claims to be an alien from other universes."
"Uh, don't look at me like that."
"Anyway, I believe it." Before Jack explained Chen Fan's identity, he expected that V would look at him strangely, suspecting that he had recently watched some black Mewtwo and damaged his brain.
V frowned and turned her gaze to Chen Fan's face. She quietly activated the prosthetic body and scanned Chen Fan's body.
Nothing at all.
No identifying information, no prosthetic assembly list, nothing.
"He doesn't have a prosthetic body." Jack saw the blue light in V's eyes and knew what V was doing.
"No prosthetic body?" V showed a surprised expression.
Are there any people these days who don’t pretend to be prosthetics?
"He doesn't need to. The technological route of their planet is different from ours." Jack shrugged. He could understand V's confusion. He also felt strange when he learned about this.
but
As an alien, it’s not surprising that he doesn’t have a prosthetic body.
V pursed his lips.
She's in big trouble and doesn't want to talk to Jack about aliens or anything like that.
She said cautiously: "No offense, but my matter this time is very urgent, and I cannot let the third person know."
Her leader, ordered her to assassinate the leader's leader.
Jack turned to look at Chen Fan. He needed to seek Chen Fan's opinion.
Seeing this, V's eyebrows furrowed deeper.
She knew that Jack was very popular and could often make new friends, but it was a bit unlike Jack to bring his new friends to meet her.
"I told you, he is an alien." Jack said helplessly, "Don't look at me like that, I have to listen to him now."
V had to turn his head to look at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan said calmly: "Don't worry, you will have nothing to do soon."
"What do you mean?" V asked, frowning.
Chen Fan answered bluntly: "When you were discussing with Arthur Jenkins, Carter heard it. He knew that you wanted to assassinate Abernathy and betrayed you to Abernathy."
Carter is V's subordinate.
"What?!" V showed a shocked expression.
She didn't know how Chen Fan learned about her, and she didn't expect that she would be betrayed.
Carter? Carter Smith?
She remembered that this subordinate was usually submissive to her and was very slow to learn things. She didn't expect that he was a self-taught teacher when it came to being a traitor!
No, now is not the time to think about that.
V's brain is a little confused.
On her retinas, she could clearly see her body secreting hormones at an accelerated rate.
She knew she had to come up with a countermeasure immediately.
Otherwise she is dead.
Attempting to assassinate a company executive is a capital offense if discovered, and there is no room for it.
Want help from Jenkins?
No, Jenkins couldn't protect himself and couldn't care about her at all.
If Jenkins knew about this, he might want her dead more than Abernathy.
V suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness.
As a member of the company, she understands the power of the company better than ordinary people.
Chen Fan said softly: "Abernathy's people are already on the way. They will fire you, deactivate your prosthesis and trauma team members, and take you away to ask for credit from Abernathy."
V clenched his fists.
Abernathy was already on the move, and she couldn't think of any way to get herself out of the quagmire.
But she might be able to save her life.
"Jack, do you have any friends around here?" V turned to look at Jack.
She couldn't care less about how Chen Fan knew these things now, because her life was counting down every second.
Jack scratched his head: "It sounds like you are going to be free again?"
"This is a good thing!"
"I'll find some friends to celebrate for you!"
Jack smiled heartily.
He has always hoped that V could get rid of the company, and now the good time has finally come, although V is passive.
"Jack, be serious, this is about my life!" V said anxiously.
Jack turned to look at Chen Fan: "He is my best friend. If he is willing to help, there should be no problem."
He still remembered the scene when Chen Fan fell from the sky.
V also looked at Chen Fan.
Although she didn't understand Chen Fan's origins, Chen Fan was obviously not an ordinary person because he had so much information.
If Chen Fan helped her, she might really be able to escape.
Chen Fan nodded and said calmly: "V, I'll help you get through the difficulties, and then you take me to Arasaka Tower."
"Arasaka Tower?" V frowned.
Arasaka Tower is the branch of Arasaka Company in Night City. Ordinary people can enter it, but they cannot enter the office area.
She showed a troubled expression: "Do you want to go to the employee area?"
"Although I have authority, I will be expelled soon, and why are you going to Arasaka Tower?"
Chen Fan closed his eyes slightly.
Since he released the nanorobots, the number of nanorobots has been increasing every minute, and now it is an astronomical number.
"I have my own considerations." Chen Fan said calmly.
V gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, you save my life and I will take you to Arasaka Tower."
She didn't care what Chen Fan was doing at Arasaka Tower, she just wanted to survive.
"Deal, please wait here for two minutes." Chen Fan said calmly.
wait? V was slightly startled.
Yes, Abernathy can check her whereabouts from the company system, and the person sent to deal with her is probably hanging behind her.
V sighed.
At this moment, her mood was very complicated.
In order to climb higher in the company, she worked hard and did a lot of unscrupulous things. As a result, she suddenly had nothing.
"Jack!" she shouted over her shoulder.
Jack showed a sincere smile: "Congratulations in advance!"
"Hey, why are you giving me money?"
He looked at the dancing numbers in front of him and couldn't help but feel a little confused.
V said dejectedly: "If the company fires me, my account will definitely be frozen. Please save it for me first."
It is a process to temporarily freeze the account of an employee after he leaves the company.
Generally speaking, after the company investigates the money in the account and transfers the part that belongs to the company, it will unblock the account.
But she is in a special situation.
She was expelled for participating in the assassination of Abernathy, and her account was frozen and may never be unfrozen.
If it is not transferred out in time, it will never be transferred out.
"Don't be so depressed, this is a good opportunity to get rid of the company!" Jack looked at the numbers in the account and smiled, "You have saved so much money, you can retire directly."
"Yeah." V was a little confused about his future.
retire? Maybe it's a good road
She looked at the empty basketball court and felt an inexplicable desolation in her heart.
Woo——
An Arasaka company's aerial vehicle flew from the sky.
V's heart sank.
Company executives would not come to a place as high as the Ritz Bar, so there was no other possibility. The people sitting in this floating car must be Abernathy's men.
At this moment, the floating car exploded.
boom!
In V's shocked eyes, the floating car that burned into a fireball tilted and fell, inserting itself into a giant billboard.
"Let's go to Arasaka Tower."
Chen Fan's eyes reflected the flames of the floating car, and he said calmly: "Your trouble is solved." (End of Chapter)
