Chapter 58 Relic Chip
As Miles showed her strong attitude, the flame of revenge was burning wildly in her heart, forcing her to devote all her energy to the cause of fighting back against Arasaka.

In Miles's vision, since AI is the focus of future giant companies' games, why not just go to the edge of the black wall to capture the roaming AI for his own use? Wouldn't this be more efficient!
It is always faster than spending time, energy and money on your own research and development.

After listening to Miles's ideas, Leon just nodded in agreement and didn't say anything more.

Because he knew that the AI ​​roaming outside the black wall was simply not something that humans could control. Unless there was a more powerful AI, it would be difficult to control such a "forbidden power"!
Miles has placed all his military technology resources on AI, but in addition to upgrading his own AI Red and White Queen as soon as possible, Leon also plans to fully occupy the military industry market as soon as possible and expand into the biotechnology sector.

Through this disastrous rescue operation, Leon has realized that it is futile and time-consuming for LA Company to rely solely on mercenaries and weapons to fight against the large and powerful Arasaka.

We still have to rely on biological evolution, and "cyber monsters" controlled by genetic mutations and viruses, to fight against the elite forces of Arasaka Corporation!

In Leon's plan blueprint, he seemed to see the biochemical monsters of LA company equipped with the most advanced cybernetic bodies slaughtering Arasaka soldiers on the battlefield.

What era is it now? We still rely on human wave tactics to fill in the cannon fodder, and use the mutated monsters from Alien and Resident Evil to fight wars. This is called efficiency, clean and neat!

Of course, it is not easy to achieve this. At least the current LA company is not able to drive mutant monsters to the battlefield on a large scale.

But what Leon can do now is to develop a mecha device that is more suitable for small-scale combat!

Today's military technology and Arasaka Corporation are no longer able to launch another large-scale war, and local conflicts will become the main form of confrontation between the two sides.

The only armed force that can wipe out an entire mercenary squad of the enemy by "single-handedly fighting" is the cyber mecha, which is more powerful than the prosthetic body!

……

boom……!
The time bombs buried in various places in Arasaka Tower suddenly exploded as the pointers stopped. The strong gunpowder swept with a powerful shock wave and smashed the pillars of Arasaka Tower.

Amid the screams of countless people, the shattered Arasaka Tower began to tilt and collapse from the bottom, eventually becoming a dusty ruin.

The hovercrafts, NCPD police officers, and members of the Terrorist Squad surrounding the Arasaka Tower each cleared an area of ​​several thousand meters in radius and prohibited anyone from approaching.

Various media outlets in Night City rushed to report on the "Arasaka Tower Bombing" incident, and even the hot news about the death of a senior military technology executive was overshadowed.

The misty acid rain wrapped in the dust drifting from the evil land and the ash raised by the ruined Arasaka Tower fell on the sad, angry, and trouble-making people.

Meanwhile, on the upper floors of another Arasaka building, Johnny Silverhand silently watched the entire process of the Arasaka Tower being detonated, collapsed, and turned into ruins. A smile finally appeared on his scarred face.

"This is the greatest performance of my life. Even though it costs me my life, I will become a legend in Night City."

After he finished speaking, Johnny Silverhand looked at Adam's Hammer with disdain. He sneered, "A lackey like you who crawls at Arasaka's feet is only fit to be an emotionless steel monster."

"Adam Heavy Hammer, how much do you think your scrap metal will be worth after a hundred years? My deeds and rock songs will live on for a hundred years!"

Before Adam could rush forward with his heavy hammer to give foul-mouthed Johnny a hard punch, an old voice suddenly came out: "Well said."

“Flesh and blood will age and decay, prosthetics will rust and rot, but thoughts and spirits will last forever.”

Under the protection of the lone wolf bodyguards led by Goro Takemura, the staggering Saburo Arasaka walked out slowly with a hunched back.

When Johnny Silverhand saw the old emperor of Arasaka come to Night City, he couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement: "Holy shit... is this true?"

Facing this horrible thug who bombed Arasaka Tower and took away Ultra, Saburo Arasaka did not show any anger, his tone was still calm, like a quiet lake. "My eldest son was called Arasaka Kei, he died in Arasaka Tower, and when he was found, his brain had been burned by the virus implanted by your hackers."

When talking about the sudden death of his eldest son, Saburo Arasaka seemed like an outsider. The most important successor of the Arasaka Empire had died, but he acted as if nothing had happened.

After years of ups and downs in the business world, Saburo Arasaka learned patience and perseverance. Even when facing the death of his eldest son, he still managed to remain calm and composed.

"He died because of the Arasaka family. I will announce to the public that he died of suicide and give him the samurai honor he deserves."

After listening to Saburo Arasaka's mumbling, Johnny Silverhand, who was tied to a chair, just snorted twice. He would not have the slightest sympathy for Saburo who lost his son in his old age.

The heinous crimes committed by this old bitch cannot be compensated by the death of his eldest son alone!

"Fuck you."

Johnny spat at Saburo Arasaka and said with disdain: "There are so many civilians who died at the hands of your Arasaka Company. The death of just one son is nothing!"

"The Chiba City in Japan is full of industrial wastewater discharged from the Arasaka factory. The people there grew up drinking this water and were tortured by Arasaka into monsters with body aches."

"Old man Sanlang, you deserve what you have today because of your own fault. You deserve it!"

Goro Takemura was about to punch Johnny to make him think before speaking, but was stopped by Saburo Arasaka.

Saburo Arasaka was certainly very angry when Johnny tore off his disguise mask, but the most vicious means of revenge on a person is often not physical torture, but mental destruction!

The punishment that Saburo Arasaka prepared for Johnny was to forcibly extract his soul and use him as a "guinea pig" for Arasaka's latest experimental project, the Relic chip.

"I have lost my eldest son who I had high hopes for, and from now on you will also lose your soul. You will be trapped in the database of Arasaka Corporation and tortured forever!"

Saburo Arasaka walked to a position three meters close to Johnny, and stared at Johnny's silver hand with his electronic eyes replaced with the new Kijimizu prosthetic eyes:

"My son's soul will rest in peace on the altar of Arasaka, but you will be modified, compiled, and made into a string of code by Arasaka's engineers, and you will never rest in peace."

"Mr. Johnny Silverhand, is this an ending worthy of your status as a Night City legend?"

After he finished speaking, Saburo Arasaka nodded to the Arasaka engineer beside him, signaling him to start immediately.

Immediately, a white-faced elite company dog ​​came out with a silver microchip in his hand. His name was Anders Hermann, and he was the director of the Relic project.

"Mr. Johnny, please relax. I have improved the AI ​​Soul Killer program. This chip should not cause too much harm to you."

"Of course... this is just a theoretical guess. The specific results will depend on your next reaction."

"Anyway, thank you for your contribution to Arasaka Corporation!"
