Chapter 55 The Truth(1/2)
"So if my two friends don't die from their injuries, then their consciousness will also be expelled by you, allowing you to take away their bodies?"
"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that's the case.
The intrusion program in the relic chip has the highest priority and is not subject to my will.
Only when it grabs a piece of territory for me will my consciousness be truly awakened.
If it really gets to that point, I can't quit and I can only compete with your friends."
"This is really terrible! This kind of technology should not exist!"
Listening to Johnny Silverhand's introduction to the so-called relic chip, Peacock couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Isn't this just the body snatching in ghost stories?!"
After suddenly thinking of this, Peacock felt even more horrified.
In the past, peacocks could only see such things as body snatching in those fantasy novels. Unexpectedly, in 2077, the global monopoly companies used cyber technology to create this thing.
"Could it be that the scavenger doctor was reborn using this method? If that's true, doesn't it mean that this technology is already very mature?"
When Peacock thought of coming back from the dead, he suddenly thought of the scavenger leader who had been killed twice by him.
Although he was not yet sure that this was the case, Peacock already instinctively felt that this kind of technology should not exist at all.
With this technology, those who are rich and powerful can become immortal.
And those poor innocent people will become parasite targets because others take a fancy to their bodies.
"Johnny Silverhand, thank you very much for your explanation, and thank you very much for coming to the rescue.
Excuse me, can you stop the car for a moment? I want to get out of the car."
Even as Peacock and Johnny Silverhand talked, the Draman never stopped.
Looking out the window at the strange street, Peacock didn't know where he was now, but he still planned to say goodbye to Johnny Silverhand.
"Peacock, why are you in such a hurry to leave?
As far as I know, your current situation is quite dire. Why, don’t you want to know why I came to you specifically?”
"Okay, what do you want from me?"
"I'm looking for you, of course, because I want to cooperate with you.
Peacock, what I want most in my life is to destroy Arasaka International.
Even when I was imprisoned in that dark and miserable cave, I was thinking about this all the time.
In these days, I have also learned a lot about the situation, including the current strength of Huangban International, as well as what you and your brother did a few days ago.
I have to say, you are all great.
You blew up the Kanbi Building with a gas pipe, and Jack and Vee did what I wanted to do the most: they actually killed Saburo Arasaka!
Although Saburo Arasaka is dead now, Arasaka International is still there, which of course makes me very unhappy.
So I want to cooperate with you, let’s bury Arasaka International together!”
"This man can be called the strongest terrorist in history, and he really deserves his name!"
Listening to Johnny Silverhand reveal his intentions, Peacock just wanted to smile bitterly.
But it was also because of what Johnny Silverhand said just now that he finally thought of the other chip in his bracelet.
"Johnny Silverhand, Wei gave me a chip before he died. He said that as long as he looked at that thing, he would know who killed Saburo Araban.
Before that, I had always had time to watch it. How about we watch it together now?"
"Ha! This is great! You have such a good thing, why didn't you tell me earlier?
Peacock, bring it quickly! I can't wait a second."
At Johnny Silverhand's urging, Peacock took out the data stick from the bracelet.
After inserting it into Delamain's data slot, the largest display screen in the car immediately appeared.
"May 21, 2077, 6:07 pm, the current location is the suite on the top floor of the Kanbi Building, Arasaka Yorinobu, recording the human dimension."
"This is Wei's voice!"
Listening to that familiar voice, Peacock felt as if he was in another world.
This former wasteland agent was still so meticulous in his work. Before preparing to leave evidence, he also wrote down the time and location for future generations to check.
After quickly reporting the time, place and characters, the camera, which was still a little shaken, was immediately fixed. It seemed that Weihe Jack had already found his hiding place at that time.
Almost as soon as they hid, the door to the penthouse suite was pushed open with force, and then a middle-aged man appeared angrily.
"Adam, just wait outside. There's no need to follow him in."
"yes!"
Following the man's instructions, footsteps gradually receding could be heard in the corridor outside.
This sound immediately reminded Peacock of the mercenary king who was wearing an exoskeleton armor and almost overturned the Draman car with his own strength.
"Arasaka Yorinobu!"
Looking at the face that he had seen often recently, Peacock recognized it immediately. At the same time, he couldn't help but feel lucky for Jack and Wei.
Fortunately, Arasaka Yorinobu didn't let Adam Hammer in, otherwise the legendary mercenary would probably have immediately discovered that there were other people hiding in the house.
After closing the door again, Arasaka Yorinobu walked back and forth in the room.
In just a few seconds, his expression changed many times.
At first, there was a look of fear on his face, but then it turned into a fierce look. However, the fierce look quickly faded, and he showed a depressed expression again.
Just when Lai Xuan was in panic all day long, there was a tapping sound on the indoor stairs of this suite.
The sound frightened the crown prince of Arasaka. He turned around in a hurry and saw the person walking down the stairs.
It was an old man wearing a kimono and holding a cane. He was being supported by a man in his 40s, walking slowly down step by step.
"This is Goro Takemura! Then the old man is Saburo Arasaka!"
Looking at the man on the stairs, Peacock realized that it was the Arasaka agent who had just led his men to ambush him in front of the central room.
Peacock knew that this person had an unusual identity, but he did not expect that this person would actually be Saburo Arasaka's personal bodyguard.
"Arasaka Saburo!"
Almost at the same time, Johnny Silver, who was also watching, gritted his teeth and said the old man's name.
The power of time is invincible, and 20 years have turned Saburo Arasaka into a senile, dying man.
"Father, you are here!"
After taking a deep breath, Arasaka Yoriken straightened his clothes and went up to greet him.
"snort!"
After making such a soft groan, Arabansaburo paused his stick on the ground to answer, and at this time Takemura Goro was already performing his duties as a bodyguard.
At this moment, several white lights appeared in his eyes, and he began to scan the suite inch by inch.
Although this is Lai Xuan's temporary residence, its area is quite astonishing. As a result, Zhucun's progress appears to be very slow.
"Okay, Zhucun, you go down first."
He must have been impatient to wait, so Saburo Arasaka spoke and asked the bodyguard to leave first.
"But Mr. Arasaka, I haven't finished checking it yet. Please wait a moment."
"There's no need for that, Takemura.
He is my son, can he still do harm to me?"
When the old guy's face became serious, Goro Takemura immediately bowed and left, and the look on Yorinobu's face became even more embarrassing.
"Lai Xuan, you really disappoint me.
These days, I have been waiting. I was waiting for you to go back with the relic chip to admit your mistake, but I never waited."
"Father, it turns out you knew this a long time ago?"
"Of course I know! I knew it as soon as you walked in there.
The reason why I didn't stop you was to see when you would know when you were about to pull back from the brink, but unfortunately I didn't see you take the initiative to look back.
Lai Xuan, I don't understand, why are you so anxious?
You are my son, my only son. From now on, won’t everything I have be yours?”
"Father, do you believe this?"
When facing Saburo Aragban, Yorinobu was originally downcast and did not even dare to raise his head.
But when Saburo Arasaka said the last few words, the prince of Arasaka was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and his hair suddenly exploded.
"Baga, do you know what you are talking about! How dare you question me!"
"Father, you have said the same thing to me more than once.
