Endless Battlefield: Starting from Night City to Create a Vest

"What do you mean?"

"I want to know if there are any changes in Mayor Lucius this month compared to last month."

Uncle Liang on the other end of the phone fell silent.

After a moment, he said, "Now that you mention it, it seems to have changed a bit."

"Lucius used to never show any good looks to other mayoral candidates, but that day he treated me to a meal, contrary to his usual behavior. I thought it was a trap and was on guard for a long time."

"Why do you ask about this?"

“He’s just a fake mayor.”

"!"

Wu Guang did not allow the other party to ask questions, and answered directly: "Uncle Liang, you know about cloning technology. Now this technology is mostly used to clone specific organs and cultivate specific biological prostheses, but what about the possibility of cloning an entire person?"

"It seems that this type of clone will not survive more than seven years before its genes collapse and it will die. Even if it is maintained all the time, it can only survive for ten years at most. Are you saying that Mayor Lucius is a clone? Now the seven years have passed?"

"Half right."

"Here's a video for you to watch."

Wu Guang sent over the video of himself controlling Lucius' facial expressions.

Soon Uncle Liang on the other end of the phone was so surprised that he was speechless.

"I read his brain, but it was blank, there was nothing inside, or rather, there was something inside, but it was all black."

"You...how did you do this?! Do you know this technique..." Uncle Liang fell silent after saying this.

Wu Guang sighed helplessly: "This is not my technology, but I consulted a master. You can think of it as technology outside the black wall. Please keep it confidential."

“…Could it be the Voodoo Gang?”

"He's a defected hacker from the Voodoo Gang. He had his prosthesis repaired by me, and now he's in hiding. I promised him not to expose myself."

Wu Guang heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the guidance was successful.

"Okay, but doesn't that mean Lucius was replaced a month ago?"

"It may not be a month, it may be half a month. Think carefully about Lucius's whereabouts in this month."

"I understand. Thank you for the clue. Leave the rest to me. I will delete the record. You should delete it too. Whatever happens next, even if I die, it has nothing to do with you. I will send the money to your store by express delivery later."

The phone hangs up.

Wu Guang was silent.

It was obvious that Uncle Liang was going to discuss things with the military technology behind him. Wu Guang didn't want to get involved, and Uncle Liang also knew that this was already a good result.

Even if Wu Guang tried to help, he could do nothing.

He quietly placed the brain and implants in the underground storage room.

Soon it was almost noon and a courier package was delivered to Wu Guang's door. No one knocked on the door or informed him, it was just quietly left outside.

Wu Guang took it and found it was a chip for money.

This mission is completed.

But...Wu Guang always felt something was wrong.

But it's hard to say. The forces behind the scenes who can do such a thing and the people who can replace the mayor are actually very obvious. After all, there are only a few people who understand the mayor's behavior habits and can replace him quietly, so the scope is narrowed a lot.

Wu Guang called Mann.

"What's wrong? We just screened out a few targets here."

"No need to look for it, the mission is over, I'll send the money over."

"What?! It's over? How did it end? What happened!?" Mann was confused.

Wu Guang also hung up the phone.

Went to ride the rails.

We arrived at the destination quickly.

Qiwei and Lucy both had dark circles under their eyes, obviously having spent the entire night screening.

Wu Guang pushed the chip containing money to everyone.

"It's a good thing that the mission is completed, but the question is how was it settled?! We... don't seem to have found any information." Mann held the chip, his eyes full of confusion.

"I took the body back. The other party found a biology expert, and it turned out that the body was a clone. Although everything about the mayor was restored as much as possible, clones still have flaws."

"Is that so?! Doesn't that mean the mayor might not be dead?"

"Maybe." Wu Guang spread his hands.

Everyone looked confused, but they still divided the money honestly.

Later, the news reported explosive news that Wilton, the former mayor's confidant and now a rising mayor, was found hiding the mayor, and the dying mayor was found in his hidden base.

The news also reported it.

As for the fact that Wilton, who was supposed to become the mayor in the original work, did so in collaboration with that organization, the news did not mention it.

But it must be said that this time military technology won a great victory.

But since the original mayor was not dead, Uncle Liang's position as mayor began to be shaky.

And then another explosive news was released again.

The arrested Wilton died in prison, and the cause of death was suicide. He committed suicide by hitting his head against the wall in prison.

There was an uproar of discussion again, and of course this time everyone was laughing at the joke.

It's ridiculous that he committed suicide after his conspiracy was exposed.

None of this has anything to do with Wu Guang.

But Uncle Liang is under tremendous pressure.

The reason is the key to this case. The mayor's body was fake, but no one found the fake body.

Uncle Liang said that the stolen goods had been sold and the body was in the urn.

Although the matter was suppressed, the price paid was that Uncle Liang's reputation in military technology was questioned and his credibility declined.

But military technology would not be able to do anything to him for the time being. After all, Uncle Liang was the mayor now and his status was different.

Mann's team was naturally targeted by Military Technology, and Wu Guang, as the contact person, was naturally also investigated. After all, this information would be exposed sooner or later.

Especially in Night City, there aren't many secrets that can really be hidden.

Fortunately, the key information was not exposed, and the companies did not dare to be blatant, so they all tried to hint at it. Wu Guang also released the news that he handed the body to the mayor.

But one night, the prosthetic clinic was still invaded, but fortunately, the studio built by Wu Guang was fine even if it was discovered, after all, he was still a master of Mewtwo, and it was okay even if he was copied, after all, his real secrets had been isolated. What was copied was all Mewtwo's information.

Wu Guang pretended not to notice.

Everything is business as usual.

At the same time, Wu Guang also began to sigh with emotion. He never thought that a tiny butterfly like him could cause such a big noise just by flapping its wings.

The military used Uncle Liang, the mayor, as a springboard to start a large-scale overhaul of Night City. For a while, the crime rate actually dropped a lot.

However, the good times did not last long. The former mayor recovered from his injuries and began to challenge Uncle Liang. The plan that had been carried out smoothly was also stuck.

The two major companies are once again in a situation where they are eroding each other.

There are waves, but they are not big.

At the same time, Wu Guang also noticed something strange. People with blue eyes occasionally appeared nearby. Although they seemed to be passing by, Wu Guang would not be mistaken for those blue eyes.

Fortunately, this covert surveillance soon disappeared.

After all, Wu Guang's outward appearance is very ordinary, and the only bright spot is that he is a hidden Mewtwo master. The reason for joining Mann's team is for inspiration. After all, Wu Guang has also taken over a lot of battle-hardened Mewtwo recently.

That’s right, these are all smoke bombs thrown by Wu Guang.

half year later.

The mayor's incident has just passed.

And everything seemed as if nothing had happened.

The only difference is that Uncle Liang became the mayor, and the former mayor is now the best candidate. As for the changes in Night City.

It can be said that there is no change.

At least for the lower class and mercenaries, there is no difference.

Night City is still the Night City where people die every day.

But the only good thing that can be said is that the efficiency and enforcement of NCPD have improved a little. For example, many NCPD people have appeared in the River Valley District.

People who are doing kidney removal dare not appear on the streets so blatantly.

But it only reduces the probability of blatant behavior, and everything else remains the same.

"It seems that becoming the mayor is not enough to change Night City." Wu Guang closed the news and sighed.

Yi, who was beside the bed, tilted her head and asked doubtfully, "Do you really want to change this city?"

"Maybe he has this idea. After all, I helped Uncle Liang get started. Now his idea is indeed to make Night City gradually resemble the past, with a little order. But unfortunately the effect is not great. I guess he will be worried when we meet next time."

"I feel like you have more ambitions than just this." Yi looked at Wu Guang with burning eyes.

"Is it so obvious?" Wu Guang looked at Yi doubtfully. He himself didn't even realize that he had any ambitions.

Yi stuck to Wu Guang and said, "You want to take revenge on Arasaka, but I think you should just give up. We are outnumbered, isn't it better to just live well?"

Wu Guang was silent. When did he show that he wanted to take revenge on Arasaka? Although there was indeed a mission, he had never thought about it. At most, he would beat Adam's hammer to vent his anger.

He ruffled the girl's hair.

The two remained silent.

However...revenge on Arasaka doesn't seem to be that difficult.

After all, there is a number one traitor in Arasaka, a man who is clearly the successor of capitalism but wants to overthrow capital.

Arasaka Yorinobu.

Son of Saburo Arakata.

As long as V is prevented from getting the devil ending, Arasaka will naturally fall, and then the Federation will take the opportunity to enter and take control of Night City.

This is also the trend that Wu Guang could predict.

As for whether V will appear and whether his absence will affect the plot, the answer is no.

After all, whether V showed up or not, Arasaka Yorinobu would strangle his local tyrant father to death on that day.

If it appears, it is possible that the story will end in a devilish ending and Arasaburo will be saved.

If he had a choice, Wu Guang didn't want the character V to really appear.

However, the truth is always so unpredictable.

the next day.

Old V brought a man, Jack Wells, and he had a good friend, Valerie, who worked in the Arashiyama counterintelligence department, and this man was V.

The female V in the game is named Valerie, and the male is named Vincent.

Their English names all start with V, so they are abbreviated as V. This is also the code name they gave themselves after joining the counterintelligence organization.

They all came from Heywood and were childhood friends. Unfortunately, not long ago, female V joined Arasaka and became a company dog.

Wu Guang looked at Jack silently, with mixed feelings for a moment. He thought that V would appear among the vagrants or street kids. After all, Wu Guang also hoped so.

Three origins correspond to three endings.

Wanderer, Star Ending, and Panam left Night City and galloped into the wilderness.

The street kid, the sun ending, became the new master of the afterlife and a living legend.

It started as a company, ended as a devil, and ended... He was subjected to inhumane experiments and finally signed an agreement to become the company's property.

Of course, there is also an ending where the protagonist gives his body to Silver Hand, which is not considered here.

And now...things are taking the turn that Wu Guang least wants to see.
