Endless Battlefield: Starting from Night City to Create a Vest

Chapter 71: The Possibility of Subverting Arasaka

"Is it different this time?" Lucy didn't understand what Wu Guang meant.

Wu Guang looked at Lucy, thinking, but he soon made a decision: "Next, I'm going to tell you to keep it a secret, and when you get caught... forget it, it doesn't matter, it's just a matter of time."

"???" Lucy was confused

Then Wu Guang took Lucy to the river where there was no one around, and Wu Guang took out the chip from behind his neck.

"Take a look."

Lucy didn't think much about it. After taking it, blue data streams flashed in her eyes.

After a moment, Lucy took out the chip from behind her neck in surprise and handed it to Wu Guang.

"So, this time Arasaka's big move was because of you?"

"No surprises, that's right."

"Is this...relic thing really as magical as the data says? It turns consciousness into an imprint, then uploads it to the Internet and finally reborn in another body. This is too outrageous." Lucy's eyes were full of disbelief.

Wu Guang pointed to his head.

"Remember what happened outside the black wall?"

"You... don't mean these data..."

"The information outside the Black Wall is from around 2027, and there was already information about the relic soul mark at that time. Now it is 2075, and Arasaka has been researching this project nearly fifty years ago. What do you think is the importance of this thing?"

Lucy gasped.

Fifty years is half a century. Many people may only have fifty years in their lifetime, but Arasaka started planning so early.

The importance of this thing is self-evident.

"Can this really achieve eternal life?" A desire called greed appeared in Lucy's eyes, but fortunately this greed soon subsided. After all, Lucy was very young at the moment, and her fear of aging and death was not as urgent as that of the elderly.

"Yes, it is true. Those roaming AIs outside the Black Wall are the former hackers, and Arasaka has developed this technology. However, the price of immortality is the lives of others."

Wu Guang spread his hands.

Lucy was also silent. She was briefly confused at this moment. This body was someone else's, and she had occupied it. Was she still herself?

This is a normal behavior, and Wu Guang has thought about it before.

As expected, Saburo Arasaka had also thought about it and tried hard to prove that he was himself. He spent fifty years researching for this and finally got the proof.

Finally Lucy let out a breath of foul air.

“This is indeed a crazy experiment. No wonder Arasaka is so anxious. If this technology is leaked and the monopoly is lost, the loss will be too great.

After all, many wealthy people in the world are researching this. If they live long enough and this technology is released, I don’t know how many wealthy people will rush to join Arasaka. I’m afraid that anyone with a little money and power will join at all costs, even if it means being a dog for Arasaka.”

Lucy realized the importance of this technology.

If Arasaka proves the feasibility of this technology, Arasaka will, in a sense, control all circles of the wealthy, and Arasaka will achieve world domination without losing a single soldier.

The rich live forever.

The poor no longer even have ownership of their own bodies.

The more she thought about it, the paler Lucy became.

After all, if things continue to develop in this way, the whole world will enter the middle class, and all the world's wealth will be concentrated in one person.

Others can't even resist.

As soon as the infant is born, he or she is reserved by the rich, and when he or she reaches the age of eighteen, he or she will be reborn by possessing another's body.

"That's why I said this time is different. Arasaka is destined to search at all costs, even if it means going to war with other companies. Of course, the most likely outcome is that the upper echelons will negotiate, Arasaka will give out bait, and the other party will cooperate."

"But now we have the technology and can work with any company to give it to them."

"And then let them fight each other?"

"This is a bad idea. After all, we don't know whether the company will take action against us because the benefits are too great."

Wu Guang smiled.

"Then what's the best strategy?"

"Yes, they spread the news that a certain company has mastered technology similar to relic and has made a major breakthrough."

"good idea!"

Lucy also suddenly realized why Wu Guang told her all this. After all, only a hacker could spread this information without being discovered.

"I don't recommend you tell the people in Mann's team about this news. After all, they are mercenaries. There is no need to involve them. The more they know, the greater the danger."

"So you trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I will report you?"

"In Night City, you can only blame yourself if you get betrayed. I understand that, but I believe you won't." Wu Guang looked straight at Lucy.

And Lucy looked directly at Wu Guang without hesitation.

The two people's eyes met.

Lucy smiled, and her smile was bright and charming.

"It feels so good to be trusted like this." Lucy looked up at the sky. At this moment, the sun was setting and the sky was filled with sunset glow.

"You have that skill, right?"

"Indeed, but I haven't tried the latest version of the backup yet."

"Use it on me. If I'm discovered, I will destroy my own brain immediately and won't let it be discovered." Lucy's eyes were bright.

She once promised Wu Guang that she would help when Arasaka was attacked. She was very conflicted at first. After all, that was Arasaka, and they were just the company's property that had defected. They were just ants when facing Arasaka. How could an ant overturn an elephant? But Wu Guang gave her a plan.

This opportunity is enough to subvert Arasaka's plan and even make Arasaka the target of public criticism.

Wu Guang nodded.

As for the original plan, he just wanted to learn some information about neural remodeling, but who would have thought that Arasaka actually discovered it. If he hadn't discovered it, Wu Guang wouldn't have decided to act at this moment. He might even continue to hide and wait for Arasaka Yoshinobu's action. At that time, he would only need to reap the benefits.

As for V, he believed he could handle it.

It avoids the possibility of a devilish ending to the greatest extent.

At the same time, Wu Guang was also lost in thought, wondering whether the people with blue eyes in the game were good or bad.

They first manipulated the mayor, making the couple live less and less like themselves, but the mayor was a moral mayor. They wanted to destroy the mikoshi, and the mikoshi was the first step in Arasaka Saburo's rule. If they destroyed the mikoshi, it would be even more difficult to reshape it.

Indirectly destroyed Saburo Arasaka's dream of ruling.

In a sense, what blue eyes do is beneficial to the whole world.

But in fact, they want to invade the Mikoshi, and use it to make a big hole in the black wall. Then the AIs outside the black wall will attack the safe network.

You have to know that the AIs outside the black wall have the ability to directly burn people's implants.

Even these AIs can complete a certain sense of possession, just like the mayor and his wife.

Therefore, it is still unknown who is right or wrong. We can only say that both sides are acting in their own interests.

Neither side can be trusted.

At least that's the case for now.

"Okay, come with me."
