Chapter 105 Conjecture
"I will pay you a lot. This is extra money. Just think of it as expedited payment. I hope you can help me get this done as soon as possible."

As soon as he finished speaking, Congressman Jefferson's prosthetic eye flashed a blue light, and he transferred 3,000 euros from his own account to V.

"The deputy mayor election arranged by the City Hall is about to begin. I don't want anything to go wrong at this time. Thank you for your trouble." Jefferson said.

"Okay, I'll take this commission."

V's response was simple and decisive. He and Jack had taken on many more dangerous missions than this one. It was just investigating a stalker. What was the big deal?

"That's good. If there is any situation, contact me as soon as possible. I'll wait for your good news."

After the two of them officially confirmed the commission, Congressman Jefferson personally sent V away from the Ye Corporation headquarters, but before V turned around and left, he asked Jefferson a question.

"Mr. Congressman, are you aware of the incident in which Ms. Sandra Dorsett was kidnapped by street sweepers in the Watson District?"

V would not suspect that there was something wrong with his memory, or that he had poor eyesight and recognized the wrong person. After all, Jack also participated in the operation to rescue Sandra.

It's impossible that both V and Jack Wells have memory disorder!
"Sandra?"

Jefferson frowned, as if he was recalling some information, then he shook his head and said:
"V, you must have recognized the wrong person. Sandra has been working at Ye's Company for the past two years. She rests in the employee dormitory after get off work and has never gone out."

"She is a dedicated employee representative of our company. How could she go to Watson District and be kidnapped by scavengers? That is totally untrue."

As Jefferson finished speaking, V and Johnny Silverhand both exclaimed in their hearts, "Oh my god!" and felt their scalps tingling.

Because what Sandra and Jefferson said don't match at all!
Sandra said she had not been to Watson in the past year, but Jefferson said Sandra had not left Yeshi Company for two years. Who is right?

[Damn... V, the place you came to might be a mental hospital. Everyone here seems to have some mental problems! ]

Johnny Silverhand really wanted V to light up a cigarette and take a couple of puffs at this time, so that he could sort out his confused thoughts a little, but unfortunately V almost never smoked.

[V, this is a bit troublesome, because there may not have been any agents or stalkers from the beginning to the end, it was all imagined by this guy.]

When V was about to tell Congressman Jefferson about Johnny's guess, he found that there seemed to be a man in a suit observing him on the rooftop not far away.

The man's eyes were gleaming blue.

Thinking back to what Victor had told him before, that Ye's Company used AI to control its employees and modify their memories, V felt more and more that he was getting closer and closer to the truth of the matter!
"Mr. Congressman, go back and have a good sleep. I will find out who is behind this as soon as possible."

V did not plan to explain his guess to Jefferson for the time being, but instead planned to investigate the situation further and verify his own ideas.

"Okay, see you next time."

After saying goodbye to Jefferson, V looked towards the rooftop again, only to find that the mysterious blue-eyed man had disappeared, as if he had never appeared.

[V, I advise you not to get involved in this matter anymore. You can't handle it.] Johnny Silverhand shook his head and sighed.

Arasaka Corporation used Relic chips to imprint human souls and used the Divine Carriage Server to imprison their consciousnesses. Now Yeshi Corporation is using AI to control the minds of its employees and modify their memories at will.

Not only does the company constrain the bodies of its lower-level employees by forcing them to work non-stop all year round, but now even their souls and minds are being controlled by them!
"Johnny, since I have accepted this commission, I must find a way to tell Senator Jefferson the truth. If a person cannot even control his own memory, then what is the difference between him and a puppet?"

V suddenly realized that his previous assessment of the difficulty of this commission seemed to be a bit off.

If he wants to find out the truth and reveal it to the employees of Ye's Company, he may face greater resistance than the theft of the Relic chip in Ganbi Building!
[Yes, but haven’t company dogs voluntarily sold their bodies and souls to the company? Even if you tell them the truth, I guarantee they will continue to lick the company.]

Ever since the Arasaka Tower incident, Johnny Silverhand is no longer the rebellious boy he used to be. Countless cold and cruel truths have long told him that personal efforts are useless in the face of the general trend.

What he gained with his blood, tears and rock spirit was nothing more than the temporary enthusiasm of the general public. After time passed, everyone continued to do what they were supposed to do and everything was back to normal.

"No, I believe there is someone who can change all this. He will definitely find a way!" V's mind suddenly appeared the image of Leon.

[Is it Li Ang? Oh, he might have a way, but there is no need for Li Ang to get involved. He has his own piece of land in Watson, why would he follow you to mess around? ]

"Yes, Mr. Li Ang does not need to care about this matter, but I hope he knows what Ye's company is doing, because only he can make some changes."

V no longer had any unrealistic expectations for the outcome of this commission. The only thing he could do was to create an opportunity for the employees of Ye’s Company.

A chance to break free from AI control and be free of your soul.

[V, you are such a busybody, never mind. Anyway, you and I both owe Li Ang a life. Too many debts won't weigh you down. At most, we can just owe him one more.]

Johnny Silverhand was cursing on the surface, but deep down he approved of V's approach. Perhaps he and V were the same kind of people.

[Just wait patiently. Li Ang is still happily living in outer space. He finally managed to save his life. Can't you just be quiet? ]

After he finished speaking, V and Johnny looked up at the sky at the same time. Unfortunately, the air quality in Night City was too poor. Here, they might not even be able to see the moon.

And in the low-Earth orbit 38 kilometers away from Night City, the beautiful Crystal Palace is like the fairy Chang'e in mythology, using her charm to attract wealthy people who are willing to spend money lavishly.

Aaron Guthrie, as Leon's travel guide, did his job very well.

Mann's team toured the lunar colony and enjoyed themselves to the fullest as they experienced the services at various venues in the Crystal Palace.

While Lucy and Rebecca were indulging in the joy of exploring the moon, and Mann, Falco and others were obsessed with the casino and super dream experience, Leon had brought the 2B android to a box.
