"News 54, this is Gillian Jordan. I'm sorry to interrupt the current program, but there will be an emergency news break here."
"Tonight at 20:23, Mr. Saburo Arasaka, the founder and helmsman of Arasaka Company, without notifying Night City officials, secretly led a drone formation to the top floor of the Kanbi Building, where he and his son
Meet Arasaka Yorinobu."
"Currently, we have not yet learned what exactly Saburo Arasaka and Yoshinobu Arasaka talked about in the room, nor do we know what happened in the suite. Ten minutes after Saburo Arasaka arrived at the Kanabi Building, Mr. Yoshinobu Arasaka claimed that he
My father was poisoned and killed by unknown gangsters in his suite."
"Regarding the news of Mr. Arasaka Saburo's death, Night City Arasaka Company declares that it will take all means and capture the real culprit at all costs."
"Furthermore, Arasaka Saburo's son Arasaka Yorinobu also believes that his father's line was murdered by the company's competitors, but Arasaka Yorinobu has not yet produced relevant evidence that is sufficient to confirm this view."
"Despite the fog, our reporters still refused to give up, overcame difficulties and found a secret exclusive news."
The female news anchor of the TV station spread her hands and turned slightly sideways to indicate the new picture that appeared next to her.
Soon, the picture gradually enlarged until it occupied the entire screen. It seemed that even the TV station understood the importance of this photo, so that the host was reduced to a foil at this time.
——It was a photo of Saburo Arasaka and Johnny Silverhand in the same frame. The text in the corner was even close-up and enlarged so that the audience could see the writing more clearly. The TV station even thoughtfully produced a multi-language translation version.
.
——"The resurrected Johnny Silverhand came here and accidentally trampled Saburo Arasaka to death. I took this photo as a souvenir."
At this moment, people all over the world who were watching News 54 opened their eyes wide and uttered curse words like exclaims:
"Fuck..."
"I go..."
"Oh, God.."
No matter how sloppy the handwriting on it is, at this moment everyone clearly remembers the string of names that look like a star’s signature:
【Johnny Silverhand】
As the news spread, this name officially entered the attention of everyone around the world.
And tonight, he will be famous all over the world.
"As you can see, the suspected murderer named Johnny Silverhand was not only arrogant enough to pose on the body of Mr. Saburo Arasaka, but he also wrote insulting words on the photo."
"The photo was sent anonymously by a mysterious person to a reporter on our station. The other party hopes to publish the photo tonight."
"Military Science and Technology expresses great regret that Saburo Arasaka still cannot find peace after his death, and declares that this matter has nothing to do with them."
"As for the suspected real murderer, the gangster named Johnny Silverhand, according to professional analysis, he was a rock musician who formed a band called 'Warriors' more than 60 years ago.
''s band became famous throughout the city. Kerry Eurodeen, a well-known rock musician and the godfather of rock music, was also a member of the band."
The screen switched again to an old photo obtained from someone unknown, showing Johnny, Kerry and the rest of the band singing loudly.
"During the Second Corporate War, Johnny Silverhand caused the horrific Arasaka Tower nuclear explosion in Night City, and was confirmed dead in that accident..."
"According to the analysis of criminal experts, the gangster is most likely a copycat who named himself Johnny Silverhand and specially transformed his appearance and body shape into the appearance of Johnny Silverhand through previous image data.
Then he used his identity to carry out murderous criminal activities."
"As you can see, this is an operation with almost zero success rate. We don't know how much persecution and torture this gangster named Johnny Silverhand suffered before he chose to assassinate Mr. Saburo Arasaka.
"
"Please let us take a short break. Next, we will invite a criminal psychology expert from the NCPD to come over and analyze Johnny Silverhand's personality and behavior pattern for us."
"Please remember to pay attention to News 54, we will bring you the most cutting-edge news information."
As the screen switched, the TV screen changed back to the original program.
"What do you think, our big star?" Lin Mo looked at Johnny with a smile and said teasingly: "You have become famous this time."
Johnny shrugged and said very lightly:
"It's a little surprising that this TV host can actually say a few nice words for me. I just thought she could only spit feces from her mouth."
"That's because the financial backers behind News 54 are military technology," Regina explained standing nearby: "As a hostile company, they can just be happy not to add insult to injury."
"No wonder." Johnny nodded understandingly.
The crows in the world are indeed all black, and the so-called news media are just dogs owned by large companies. They will come out and bark a few times when needed.
No wonder Lin Mo chose this company. With such a photo in hand, the people at News 54 were eager to watch a good show.
"What are your plans next? If there is nothing urgent, I can continue to arrange follow-up work for you, or you can keep a low profile for a few days. There are pros and cons to becoming famous after all."
Lin Mo made a suggestion, then he glanced at Regina sitting on the sofa, and continued through a private call:
[Although Arasaka Yorinobu is from our side, his most important thing now is to stabilize the internal situation of Arasaka Company. Before he completely takes power, there is no guarantee that Arasaka senior personnel will not investigate privately. 】
[To be honest, this body of yours is quite expensive, and it is not in stock at the moment. If you burp, although the data can still be retained, it will eventually affect the integrity of your memory, so do as I say, don’t go out.
Waves outside.]
Johnny thought to himself for a while and couldn't help but think that what Lin Mo said was indeed reasonable.
He had just come back a few days ago, and he didn't even know the city's streets yet. Basically, he had to rely on Lin Mo's help for everything.
Besides, he is now considered a "celebrity". In the city of Night City, if he goes out on the street casually, he may always be careful to see if someone knocks on him.
Although keeping a low profile was not in line with his character, tonight he had a big event and witnessed the death of Saburo Arasaka with his own eyes. He was in a very good mood now, and by the way, even Lin Mo felt that he looked a lot more pleasing to the eye.
"Okay, I also want to listen to other people's opinions occasionally." Johnny smiled pretending to be generous.
"It's just words. As long as the emotional intelligence is not too low, anyone can speak nicely. But I can only believe half of your words." Lin Mo said unceremoniously:
"For your safety, I helped you find a highly professional mercenary to be your bodyguard. You can see her later."
Johnny frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable for some reason at Lin Mo's lecture, but in the end he said calmly:
"Who is that guy?"
Before Lin Mo could reply, the three people in the room immediately heard the doorbell ringing outside.
