"Where's Johnny?!"
As soon as he opened the hatch, Xie Yuan looked into the room, and then asked Thompson sternly.
"He was injured during the operation and has been intercepted by Arasaka's people."
Reporter Thompson secretly hated Ruifan for being so unfair to others. Even though Roger was next to him, he turned to him with a bad face.
But what if I hate you secretly? This was one of the few giants in Night City who could protect his own life, so he might as well be patient and answer Xie Yuan's questions honestly.
"Where's the hacker named Spider?" Xie Yuan began to ask about the other culprit.
"Missing! We didn't find her again." This time it was Rogge who answered Ruifan's question.
One was caught by Arasaka, and the other disappeared for no reason. This made Xie Yuan very unhappy, but after all, these two were not let go intentionally, so he suppressed his anger and asked: "During the operation, was there anything else?" Assistant, but you’re not here now?”
Several participants in the temporary team looked at each other, and finally Rogge said hesitantly: "There really is such a person."
"who?!"
"Morgan Blackhand." Rogge suddenly said the name of the person that made others hold their breath.
In this era, there are always some top-level armed mercenaries. Although they do the dirty and menial work of large companies, they have a high status in the entire industry.
If we leave aside V, who once had a dominant position in Night City, the most prestigious mercenaries in Night City are two people: Morgan Blackhand from Military Science, and Adam Hammer from Arasaka.
They are all people who should not be underestimated, but Morgan Blackhand is even more terrifying - because Xie Yuan did not feel any luck from him.
And this is impossible, because even an ordinary human being has a weak luck that can be felt. Therefore, if Morgan Black Hand can't feel any luck in his body, there is only one possibility - his luck is infinitely strong, reaching the point of infinity, and the ultimate white becomes infinite black.
"Morgan's Black Hand?" Xie Yuan suddenly felt a little unmotivated as he read this thundering name, "It seems like you are just a cover for Morgan's Black Hand."
What made Thompson and Rogge breathe a sigh of relief was that after seeing that Johnny was indeed gone, River no longer maintained the cold-eyed expression - his whole aura relaxed a lot.
Although Rogge felt a very uncomfortable feeling of humiliation listening to Xie Yuan's explanation, she could not refute it and could only change the topic: "What are your next plans?"
"Oh! This! It's very simple. We put on high-end three-defense equipment. You and Thompson go to the same place with me."
Xie Yuan jumped out of the helicopter, waved to the medical team and security to take the others for resettlement, and then revealed his plan when there were only three people left.
"What?! We just finished a big operation against Arasaka, and you want me to go into Arasaka again?!"
Thompson's head swayed from side to side like a rattle: "No, no, no, I don't want to go, you might as well kill me -"
"Creak!" There was a sound of the striker being pulled, and Xie Yuan immediately pressed a 0.5-caliber five-shot Smith M200 revolver against his forehead.
"I can kill you right now." Xie Yuan smiled and looked at Thompson who didn't dare to move. "You know, until now, I'm still very angry!"
"Don't... don't be impulsive!" Thompson nodded in response, "I'll go! I'll just go! But you must keep my life safe!"
"No, this is the only thing I can't guarantee," Xie Yuan's expression became more and more kind, "Either you will be beaten to death by me here, or you can go to Arasaka's territory with me to bet whether they will be beaten to death. you."
"Breathe...breathe...breathe...breathe, I know, I'm going." After taking a few deep breaths, Thompson finally agreed.
On the contrary, when Rogge looked at Xie Yuan, he asked a very intuitive question: "Will you save Johnny if you go this time?"
As soon as these words came out, Xie Yuan suddenly fell silent, and the other two people were suddenly shocked - Ruifan actually wanted to sit back and watch his brother's death? !
"Ruifan! He is your brother!" Rogge reminded him with a louder voice.
Johnny is Ruifan's brother, if Ruifan is not prepared to save him, it will become the biggest joke!
Xie Yuan closed his eyes and said quietly: "So what if we are brothers? I treat him as a brother, but does he treat me as a brother?!"
"A nuclear bomb!" Xie Yuan opened his eyes at this moment, and Rogge saw the sadness in his eyes, "My brother is going to use a nuclear bomb to bomb me! What does he think of me?! This is the kind of treatment only Arasaka has, How lucky am I to enjoy this?!”
Thompson almost rolled his eyes when he heard this: Why are you being treated the same as Arasaka? Metal Gear is now so big that the leaders of the Xia Kingdom allow the leader of a business group to attend a crucial national policy conference!
As for the consortium presidents who also receive this kind of treatment, only Arasaka, Junke and several other internationally renowned complex conglomerates have such privileges.
However, Johnny risking the world's disapproval and deliberately dropping a micro-nuclear bomb into the Metal Gear Building is indeed a sign of madness - you know, even Arasaka does not dare to go to war against Metal Gear, and Military Science only Dare to provoke Johnny to commit crimes, but dare not do anything else.
Although thinking about it now, Jun Ke was also suspected of waiting to watch the show and take advantage of it, but Johnny did do something stupid that the world thought was very stupid.
"What will you do with him?" Rogge didn't care about the conspiracy behind it. She was only worried about whether disposing of her own brother so rashly would lead to infamy.
"I'll have to go over and take a look to find out..." Xie Yuan made a prediction, "If Johnny dies, Arasaka will probably return the body to me; but I guess Arasaka can't protect himself now and needs time to buffer, so he won't be so bold. Execute the person on the spot, he should be waiting for me to come over."
…
"Bang bang bang!!!!!" Thirty minutes later, the helicopter had just arrived at a building attached to Arasaka. Suddenly, a group of armed men wearing red and black uniforms emerged from everywhere, preparing to land. The helicopter opened fire!
"This doesn't look like you are welcome to come again!" Thompson hid behind the cabin and complained as he looked at Xie Yuan and Rogge who were also leaning against the cabin.
"After all, I am a bad guest, and it is normal not to welcome him, but I can't help him today," Xie Yuan then calmly shouted to the onboard radio, "Iron Man, I won't take action personally, so as not to have to talk to them later. Repair fee, let them sleep first!”
"Roger that!" UR-025 accepted the order calmly.
"Buzz!!!" The next moment, all the Arasaka agents holding guns suddenly lost consciousness and fell to the ground with a "thump."
"Hiss!!!" The two people sitting in the cabin couldn't help but gasped. This electronic method of quickly knocking down Agent Arasaka was too fast and terrifying.
"This...Iron Man...what kind of hacker is this? How come I haven't heard of it?!" Thompson was so frightened that he couldn't straighten his legs and swayed, "How could he be so strong?!"
Rogge knew what the real situation of Iron Man was, so she didn't say anything, but still glared at Xie Yuan dissatisfied.
In the face of mechanical life with superb computing power, humans who have synthesized plug-ins are really not enough. The stupidest way is to set up overlapping firewalls, but the result is only half the result with twice the effort.
Xie Yuan was stared at and couldn't laugh or cry: "I told you earlier not to create so many plug-ins. The final result of the integration of man and machine is nothing more than man being less than man, machine being less than machine - for humans or machines, it is nothing more than inferiority. It's not as good as it is. It's not unusual to be messed with like this...Okay, okay, Iron Man will not be your enemy, and he will not mess with you. We still have things to do, let's let it go..."
Only then did Rogge let go of the two-finger pliers that were quietly stretched around Xie Yuan's waist, although the cost was that her hands were extremely sore.
Thompson turned his face away, not looking at this ridiculous scene.
It was actually not difficult to find Johnny, because Xie Yuan secretly installed a locator on his metal prosthetic arm as an important component. It was concealed and stable, but it had never been used before.
This was originally a life-saving artifact that could be used to promptly call the mercenary group affiliated with Metal Gear to rescue Johnny when his life was in danger - but today it became a dog leash that Xie Yuan could easily pursue him.
Or...the string on the tail of a kite might be more appropriate.
After arriving at the hall, Xie Yuan and his party saw an old man in a kimono, accompanied by an Asian red and black woman with high hair, looking at a man trapped in a metal device.
The man was now in a mess, with a lot of cuts on his body, and his face was bruised and bruised. Xie Yuan, who had a good vision, could tell at a glance that this was Johnny!
The old man should be Saburo Arasaka. Originally, the temporary owner of Arasaka Tower should be Norihisa Arasaka, the eldest son of Saburo Arasaka.
However, due to the incident that just happened, Jingjiu was dead - it seemed that Johnny led someone to kill him, so Saburo had to appear in front of the world again and took over the position of CEO.
"Papa papa!" Seeing that Saburo Arasaka hadn't noticed his side yet, Xie Yuan clapped his hands three times to remind the people over there to pay attention.
"Mr. Arasaka, you are really an old man with great ambitions. At such an old age, you are still running the Arasaka Group wholeheartedly. I really admire this kind of craftsmanship."
The look of shock only flashed across the old man's face when he turned around, but the woman next to him was about to burst into the guard room, and calmness and admiration once again crawled on the second generation's face.
He stopped the woman who was about to have an attack, but with trembling hands, he made a fist with his right hand and wrapped it with his left hand as a salute in return: "Mr. Ruifan is young and promising, with a successful career! He is only twenty years old." In just a few years, he can single-handedly become a figure that affects the world and even the entire solar system, which makes him feel ashamed."
"Unfortunately, the Arasaka Group is my life's work, and it was inherited from my father. It must be wiped clean at all times to prevent dust."
After Arasaka and Xie Yuan bowed to each other, he sighed again: "Otherwise, I should have imitated your bravery and devoted myself to the sea of stars. Perhaps after more than ten years of hard work, I can be like you today, like a dragon. Entering the sea, birds flying into the blue sky, no longer bound by worldly things.”
"Hahaha, it's just a little luck." Xie Yuan's face looked very humble, "Actually, I really made a dangerous move. If I hadn't made a breakthrough, everything would have been in vain. It's not like yours. Arasaka, as the old saying goes: There is only a thousand-year-old family, how can there be a thousand-year empire - the Arasaka family’s heritage can be seen.”
"Hahaha!" Saburo Arasaka laughed, "Low praise, low praise——"
"Can you guys talk properly, Tama?! The language is so unintelligible, and it sounds so smelly and long - it sounds so disgusting that it feels like smelling shit!"
Suddenly, the man trapped on the metal device behind him cursed loudly.
"Johnny!" Rogge and Thompson immediately subconsciously wanted to step out to check, but stopped abruptly.
Because at this moment, due to Johnny's conversation, the harmonious atmosphere between the two parties suddenly cooled down.
Both Rogge and Thompson could feel it. At this moment, the cold air on Ruifan's body began to spread to the outside world...
So cold!
