Starting from Cyberpunk - Chapter 178 About the Future 2

“Although I don’t know why Cunningham developed this program at the time, it is indeed her work. It was also for this reason that Ultra was targeted by Arasaka. Saburo Arasaka wanted to achieve a certain degree of immortality. , and the result of the soul killer, the digital soul mark, gave Saburo Arasaka hope, so Arasaka sent people to kidnap Cunningham, which led to the two subsequent attacks on Arasaka Tower. “

“So the reason for everything is like this, haha, these guys~” After hearing what Mo Wen said, Victor sneered and shook his head.

“But, Xiao, if you want to start with Otter Cunningham, how can you contact her?”

“Well, to be honest, I have already contacted Otto~”

“It doesn’t look like things are going well?” Victor looked at Mo Wen’s troubled expression and said, “What are Cunningham’s conditions?”

Mo Wen nodded: “If Ultra wants to take action, she wants the shrine. Strictly speaking, what she wants is the digital soul imprint in the shrine.”

“Why is that? That thing is important?”

“How should I put it? There are good and bad things about this. On the good side, it liberates the digital souls in the mikoshi. But on the worst side, although the mikoshi is a digital prison, it also protects the people in a certain sense. Once those soul marks are released, they will inevitably be swallowed or assimilated by the AI ​​behind the black wall, and they may even be swallowed by Ultra as soon as they come out. In fact, after all, I also have a use for those soul marks, so I didn’t reach an agreement at the beginning. “

“Is there any good way?” Victor heard this and showed an unbearable expression.

“Old Wei, this is the City of Night, your kindness is in the wrong place!”

“I know, I just can’t bear it.”

“Think about it from another angle. The soul marks in the mikoshi are basically Arasaka’s experimental subjects. Who knows where they got them from and what modifications they have made. Even if you want to save them, it is impossible. You know Arasaka can’t They will be kind enough to save their bodies, and when they are rescued, they will be devoured by AI without their bodies.”

“Okay, I understand, kid, you have always been an idea person. I think you can handle this matter well. I am very reassured about you.”

“It’s just that I can’t make up my mind~” Mo Wen shook his head.

It seems that Victor has no idea here, so it’s time to talk about another thing.

“Lao Wei, what are you going to do next?”

“What?” The two topics were so different that Victor hadn’t realized what they meant.

“After V’s matter is over, I guess it will be almost the same. We should leave Night City by then. What are you going to do then?”

The subtext in this sentence is obvious: there will be a big fuss this time, and the identities of Mo Wen, Jack and V will definitely be exposed, and these familiar people may be implicated in the liquidation of the company afterwards.

Victor also understood the meaning of Mo Wen’s words, but he still smiled and said: “What else can I do? When you all leave Night City, who will care about me, an old man.”

“You are wrong, Lao Wei. I said that this time there will be a big fuss. At that time, all companies will be attracted by this time, and all relevant personnel will be found out. I will also show some things that even the company needs to know.” It’s something you’re jealous of, so don’t even think about having a peaceful life by then; besides, even if you won’t be caught because of us, let’s just say that now, biotechnology’s pressure on you is getting tighter and tighter, and when you can’t bear it anymore When you stay, guess what will happen?”

Mo Wen has found threatening letters from Biotechnology in Victor’s clinic more than once to force Victor to join the company.

In a short period of time, I can still provide help to Victor, but after a while, after I leave Night City, the pressure from the company will increase until Victor can no longer bear it and is forced to join Biotechnology enslaved.

After listening to Mo Wen’s words, Victor fell silent and turned around.

“Lao Wei? What’s wrong with you? Are you avoiding this problem? This is not like you.”

“Hey~ I know, Xiao, I have always known that it is impossible for me to resist the company on my own, just like when I left the boxing ring, because I can’t change that boxing has become no longer pure and has become Companies and capital are tools to make money, so I chose to leave my favorite arena.” After saying that, Victor turned around: “Xiao, I still don’t have the ability to change now. I am already old and no longer young and energetic. , let alone as powerful as you, I, an old man, can only hold on here for as long as I can~”

“But Lao Wei, you can choose to leave! Can’t you? Leaving Night City, Biotechnology is just the Night City branch forcing you. Other places don’t know you, and naturally they won’t look for you to cause trouble. Is it possible? Can a branch of Biotechnology cause trouble for you across state lines? “

“But isn’t this just an escape? I left the boxing ring like this back then, and now I have to leave Night City like this? How do you know that this kind of thing won’t happen in other cities? Leaving is nothing more than lingering on~”

“This is not an escape, Lao Wei, this is a strategic shift!”

“Huh? Strategic transfer? What’s your new word?” Victor raised his eyebrows when he heard Mo Wen’s words.

“This is not a new term, Lao Wei. It existed in the last century, but it was in the east. At that time, the company had not developed to what it is now, and all aspects of the system were not yet mature.”

Next, Mo Wen explained the meaning and origin of the word strategic transfer to Lao Wei in detail…

“I didn’t expect that there is such a thing. I have to say that Eastern culture is so powerful. It seems that all kinds of difficulties are not difficult for them.”

“Of course!” Although it was no longer his hometown, Mo Wen was still very proud based on the similarity.

“But things are back to square one. I’m already old and can’t run around with you. My body and bones can’t bear it anymore. Besides, I don’t have the ability to fight with you.”

emmm It seems that Victor regards himself as a pioneer in resisting formulaic colonialism.

Although Mo Wen was indeed resisting the company’s rule and taking various practical actions, Mo Wen knew that he was not that high-ranking and that he was resisting the company just because he wanted to.

Mo Wen is very clear about his position. At most, he is a warrior who rushes to the front. When it comes to formulating regulations and orders later, Mo Wen is not good at it, and he doesn’t want to waste his brain…

“Lao Wei, I’m not telling you this to want you to go to the front line or anything~”
