Chapter 396 Different paths lead to the same destination
Another big news?
Hearing that Lin Mo confirmed his guess without any concealment, Beichuan Hao's eyes also became deep and gloomy. Lin Mo's calm and determined smile was reflected in the eyes, and the surprise in his heart was not reduced by half.
"Please forgive my curiosity, Mr. Lin. With your current status, power, strength, reputation and even energy on the Night City Road, there is only one person in the world who can match you, even Rogge.
It may not be comparable to you, after all, you also have a sister who is a high-ranking Kangtao person... Is there anything special about this set of King Kong prosthetics that is worthy of your personal use?" Beichuan Haobai was puzzled.
Lin Mo drank the fruit wine slowly while looking away, looking very relaxed. Compared with Kitagawa Hao's confused and serious attitude, he was like a teacher who knew the answers and was being asked a difficult question by his students.
Feeling the cold wine brewing in his mouth, Lin Mo gradually felt his heart become cool and calm.
He coughed a few times and continued to answer Kitagawa Hao's question with a smile:
"In fact, what I need is not a prosthetic body, but something that allows me to move my muscles and bones. Haven't you discovered that everything I have participated in so far has almost always followed the trend, although every
The incident was not closely related, but the final result was somewhat within my expectations."
The most indispensable thing in Night City is accidents. In the past, when he was still "weak", it was difficult to find his most ideal development path, so he could only set a final goal, and then stroll towards this goal. It doesn't matter.
Take one step at a time and steadily improve your strength.
Because from the beginning, he was confident that no matter what the process was, he would eventually reach a satisfactory ending with the simulator.
Now his old identity has been changed and a new identity has arrived, but his way of doing things has not changed much.
The Arasaka Company incident was just an opportunity, an opportunity obtained from Jack.
If Jack was not worried about the "Prosthetic King Kong" commission before, but was worried about other commissions such as "Prosthetic Mantis" and "Prosthetic Godzilla", then he would still choose to participate and intervene in the commission.
.
If it were other companies such as Military Technology, Moore Technology, and Biotechnology, Lin Mo would still dare to kidnap their company's management and cause a big fuss.
Don't miss any good opportunity, and then guide the development of events in the direction you want. Everything you plan is just a preparation for the ultimate goal.
After Lin Mo woke up, Beichuan Hao also lowered his head and began to recall everything Lin Mo had ever done.
To be honest, the two of them have not known each other for too long, and even the team established by Lin Mo, the leader, has not been more than a year old. Many things are not difficult in retrospect.
Therefore, after pondering for a long time, Kitagawa Hiroshi suddenly raised his eyebrows, and the expression on his face was as if he had figured out a certain key point to solve a problem while doing math problems, and became enlightened.
He murmured to himself and expressed his views word for word:
"Lin Jun's previous goal was to form a team, make connections, increase his reputation and become a legend, and act as Mo Ying. He also wanted to give up this identity at the critical moment, but all the benefits of this identity were taken away."
"In the past, you didn't lack resources such as money, so what you wanted to pursue were resources other than money; but now you don't lack anything, and you can turn Night City upside down with just a move of your hands, just like breaking into the Moore Technology Building before.
, Mr. Lin still has to make some plans, but now as long as you are willing, even Arasaka Tower can be achieved!"
"So, what Mr. Lin is looking for is definitely something other than the secular world. It can no longer be 'resources' such as connections and fame, but other things?" Kitagawa Hao said his conjecture with an excited face,
He was pleasantly surprised that he seemed to be able to guess Lin Mo's thoughts.
It’s absolutely unmistakable. What other things in the Night City are worthy of Lin Jun’s covetousness?
Even the most powerful representative in the city - Arasaka Tower of the Arasaka Company branch, with Lin Mo's current strength and energy, using the Tiger Claw Gang, the Valentino Gang, Rogge's connections and all the help, can
It was enough for him to kill seven in and seven out of Arasaka Tower.
He wants to make big news, but what big news can be as exciting as "breaking through a company"?
Lin Jun did not choose to do this, which only proves that the time is not yet ripe.
"Although there are some flaws in your guesses, overall they are quite different from my ideas." Lin Mo glanced at Kitagawa Hao in surprise:
"I didn't expect that a guy like you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, could have such a delicate mind... That's right, but what do you think I want to pursue?"
Kitagawa Hao's smile froze, and his expression gradually became serious, as if what Lin Mo threw out was not a question, but a bomb that would explode if he could not answer it.
"...Could it be that what Lin Jun wants is to become the sun?" He remembered the words Lin Mo had said to him in the past.
First there is Mo Ying, and then there is Sun. The former needs to hide himself to gradually build momentum; but the latter does not need to hide anymore and only waits for the time to mature.
And Mo Ying is a legend...then what is the sun?
The name of the team is Genesis. Does this have anything to do with the sun?
The sun is associated with words such as "fame" and "great achievements". Is Lin Jun's purpose to become more famous? Or does he want everyone in the team to be famous?
Lin Mo smiled and nodded, confirming Beichuan Hao's answer.
"Forgive me for being stupid, I don't understand the meaning of the word "sun" that Mr. Lin mentioned." Beichuan Hao looked embarrassed.
It seems that because of drinking, Lin Mo's expression was a little lazy, and Mo said nonchalantly:
"You don't need to be too clear. After all, everyone has their own understanding. For example, I am holding a knife and breaking into Arasaka Tower alone without caring about anything, shouting against the tyranny of the company while shouting "Yesterday in 2023"
Let’s recreate it! Then kill a lot of people inside, and then walk out safely. At night, you can order a drink at the Afterlife Bar and appreciate your great achievements through the news... In the eyes of outsiders, how can this kind of deeds not be the sun?
"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Lin Jun is right, a real man should be like this!" Beichuan Hao nodded convincingly. Just listening to Lin Mo's description, he felt a little excited in his heart.
.
Perhaps every street person in this city has this fantasy of becoming a "living legend" and the strongest person to make the company surrender, and then spends all day wandering the streets dreaming of resisting the company.
But for others, this is fantasy;
For Johnny Silverhand and others, this is a cause worthy of their lives;
For Lin Mo, this is a small thing that can be done if he wants to.
Lin Mo sighed and said meaningfully: "But I have done this kind of thing before. More than half a year ago, there was a real big shot in the Moore Technology Building, but now there are not many changes in Night City, so
It will be long enough for the people to forget all about this matter, and if it is placed in a marginalized industry, it will only become a talking point in everyone's mouth."
"The impression that my legend can leave in people's minds is actually not as good as the 100 million in cash that was sprinkled in front of the building..." He smiled disapprovingly, with a contemptuous and frivolous smile:
"Just like a major event that happened in 2023, it's now 2076. Can you still remember that event?"
Kitagawa Hao thought for a while and said uncertainly:
"Did someone plant a nuclear bomb at Arasaka Tower, and then the nuclear bomb finally detonated?"
Apart from this incident, there seems to be nothing to mention in 2023. After all, it is an old story. The corporate war that broke out between Arasaka Company and Military Technology at that time is still rarely remembered by people. Instead, it was a nuclear explosion.
This thing is quite impressive.
Lin Mo nodded and asked, "Who is the person in charge of this matter?"
"It is said that Johnny Silverhand led the team."
Lin Mo couldn't hold back and laughed out loud:
"He did not have the ability to lead the band... In fact, it was Rogge who led the band, but because he was the most popular rock star at the time, he went to blow up Arasaka Tower after his last concert, and died in the end
There, various factors combined to make him the 'scapegoat'."
Now, after his intelligence attributes have been enhanced, Lin Mo can recall more details about the plot in the game and the game settings he has seen.
Although for some reason in the game, the protagonist V has seen the memory of Johnny Silverhand, and the game content also shows the scene of Silverhand killing everyone at Arasaka Tower... But in fact, in the game, you can also get the Ultra from Ultra
I learned from my mouth that Johnny Silverhand's own memory was actually not accurate...
To put it simply, those memory fragments of him killing everyone were all beautified and modified by himself.
In the plot of the game setting, we can also intuitively find that the real main members of the team that broke into Arasaka Tower were the combat mercenaries headed by Rogge, and the one who could really fight was a man named Shaiyi.
Tuonai's guy.
As for who this guy named Sayitana is?
Naturally, it was the unlucky guy who controlled the aircraft machine gun in Johnny Silverhand's beautified memory.
This beautified memory is presented in the game. When the tower bombing team took a plane to prepare to land on the Arasaka Tower, Sayitano himself was "unfortunately" hit by a stray bullet and became the first member of the team to die.
As a result, Silverhand had to "bear the pressure" and was manipulated by players to kill everyone.
Therefore, Lin Mo also found it quite interesting to hear that Kitagawa Hiroshi was misled by "rumors".
However, although Yin Shou himself is not very strong, he at least still has a heart that hates and hates the company. In Lin Mo's opinion, this is where Yin Shou's charm lies.
His presence is indispensable in the final planning process.
"So it turns out that Ms. Rogge is the real leader?" Kitagawa Hao nodded thoughtfully.
"Look, the team that bombed Arasaka Tower in the past was obviously the work of so many people. It was obviously a heroic deed that seriously damaged the company's prestige. But in the end, what people can remember is that there is only one nuclear explosion and one person.
..." Lin Mo smiled as expected:
"So... it is difficult for people to remember things that are too far away. A hundred years later, only the company will remain the same, but it will be difficult to see a new 'Silver Hand'... However, we cannot ignore the value and value of each person.
potential."
Beichuan Hao's face looked a little more confused: "What does Mr. Lin mean?"
"Silverhand was a veteran before he became a rock singer. Later, he became a representative of the resistance company for various reasons. The other members of the tower bombing team also chose to participate in the action for their own reasons.
No matter what, they are all part of the theme of resisting the company." Lin Mo said quietly:
"In fact, everyone can become his own 'silver hand'."
Even V, because of a coincidence, finally embarked on the ending of "turning my broken body into fire".
Of course, there are other different endings, but in any case, V's ability to become the strongest person in Night City is more or less related to the proposition of "resisting the company".
Ordinary mercenaries in Night City, ordinary gang members... they rob the company's property for profit. Perhaps their subjective wishes are not pure, but their behavior is also related to the proposition of "resistance to the company."
The means are different, the process is different, but the paths lead to the same goal.
Without his intervention, perhaps even David would have embarked on this path.
After thinking for a long time, considering that he had already said so much, Lin Mo simply stated his purpose in one breath:
"What I want to do is actually very simple. It is nothing more than to make the general public pay more attention to the theme of 'resistance to the company', influence their thoughts and behaviors, and then eliminate the fear that the company has taken root in their hearts, just like the sun that gives strength to all things
.”
Kitagawa Hao nodded clearly: "I can understand what you mean, Mr. Lin. I didn't expect you, Mr. Lin, to have such Chicheng thoughts and resist the company... Yes, in this world where the company is in power and ordinary people work hard
Here, only this mission is the unchanging proposition of this era."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He can be regarded as "understanding".
It turns out that everything Lin Jun did was to resist the company?
However, the next moment, Lin Mo's answer rejected his opinion again.
"No, you don't understand. As for me, the so-called mission... I don't have such a lofty motive." Lin Mo smiled inexplicably:
"Given my background and my living standard that has been much better than that of ordinary people over the years, if I shouted out the proposition of resisting the company, no one would believe it because it is untenable from a standpoint.
, after all, I am a young master from a wealthy family and a vested interest in the company..."
"I don't have much hatred for the company. If you accuse me of being born to rebel against the company, this is too weak to withstand scrutiny. There may be others who are more suitable for this evaluation than me.
"
"Who?" Kitagawa Hiroshi asked.
Lin Mo smiled and did not reply directly, but instead said:
"Most of the things I do are for my own benefit, and a small amount of them are based on my heart. I just do them because I want to do them. Just like all living beings, my thoughts are not pure, but still the same sentence -
The process may be different, but the paths lead to the same destination.”
Different paths lead to the same destination...
Just because the company is in power and ordinary people have to work hard is the proposition of this era, so everything Lin Jun has done so far is inevitably related to "resistance to the company"?
Beichuan Hao was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed quietly.
He thought he could almost figure out Lin Jun's thoughts and ideas, but now it seems that it is still far from enough.
"So Mr. Lin, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Now... naturally we have done the things at hand. Regarding the prosthetic King Kong, Arasaka Company will not give up so easily. If they make any move then, we will beat them up first."
"Well, I understand, different paths lead to the same destination!" Kitagawa Hao said seriously.
Lin Mo twitched the corner of his mouth, glanced at Beichuan Hao, and said helplessly: "Why do we feel that you have been deceived?"
"Different paths lead to the same destination!" Kitagawa Hao repeated with a serious face.
