Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

Chapter 335 Death of Saburo Arasaka...?

This afternoon, the Night City was covered with clouds.

Yori Xuan sat quietly in the Tavernier suite on the top floor of the Cambo Building.

On the table in front of him was a special suitcase for storing relic chips, and a tablet with notes on how to store the chips was placed on it.

The high-imitation heavy hammer stood not far behind him, and the cybernetic night demons who had put on Arasaka agent uniforms were scattered in every corner of the suite.

"...Is the person here?" Yori Xuan looked straight ahead and suddenly spoke.

"We have arrived at the apron and are heading here." The electronic female voice in the room replied smoothly.

Yori Xuan then stopped talking, picked up the wine bottle on the table, and poured himself a full glass of wine. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

Footsteps were heard from the suite leading to the rooftop apron. Soon, an Arasaka samurai in a black suit opened the way. An old man with gray hair in a gray-black kimono slowly walked down the stairs. Arrived opposite Yori Xuan.

This old man who looks old but is still dignified in his movements is the patriarch of the Arasaka family. He is the living legend who transformed Arasaka Company from a small manufacturing company into the world's top economic entity, Saburo Arasaka.

He clasped his hands behind his back, looked at Yori Xuan who was silent across the low table and only focused on drinking, and said indifferently:

"...Do you think you won't notice that I have lost something?"

Lai Xuan remained silent.

At this time, Takemura Goro, the Arasaka samurai who came with Saburo, was patrolling and scanning the suite.

Although there were prosthetic night demons standing in every corner of the suite, including high-imitation heavy hammers watching eagerly, Zhucun was not affected at all and turned a blind eye to their gazes. He just performed his duties rigorously, searching for everyone. A possible safety hazard.

Finally, in the suffocating silence between Saburo and Yorinobu, Takemura completed his scan, returned behind Saburo, and saluted respectfully.

"Mr. Arasaka, the comprehensive scan has been completed and there are no problems. Do you need me to get the things you want this time?"

Saburo raised his eyelids slightly, glanced at Yori Xuan who was sitting upright, and said, "There's no rush."

"Yes." Zhucun retreated obediently.

Saburo then turned to Yori Xuan and asked: "...Why did you steal the chip?"

Hearing this question, Yori Xuan finally raised his head and glanced at him.

"…Are you sure you want to talk to me about this in front of so many people?"

Saburo was silent for a moment, and then said: "...Then let's talk alone."

Naturally, Takemura would not object. He lowered his head and said, "Yes, Lord Arasaka."

He immediately turned around and walked towards the elevator, and the high imitation heavy hammer and the prosthetic night demons also left with him, leaving only Yori Nobu and Saburo in the suite.

Yori Xuan had no reaction on his face, but he was slightly relieved in his heart.

Things are back on track.

Before today, Li You had explained the unfolding of the original world line to Yori Xuan countless times, so Yori Xuan also knew very well that after Saburo came today, his reaction was different from what Li You said.

Didn't he actually offer to talk to me alone?

Therefore, while Saburo was quietly waiting for Takemura to complete the scan, Yorinobu's heart was already raised, and his brain was running rapidly, thinking about what the problem was.

The question Saburo asked made him understand the key difference.

In today's world, my father has not found out his purpose of stealing the chip!

"...Could it be that I deliberately left clues on the Internet that were not discovered? It shouldn't be!"

Unlike himself in the original world line, Yorinobu did not contact the network surveillance agents this time, but he also forged a piece of information and stored it in his "secret account", specifically for Saburo's people to find out of.

But the reaction of Saburo Arasaka in front of him seemed as if he had not seen the information?

As a last resort, Yorinobu had to take the initiative to speak, and allowed Saburo Arasaka to send Takemura away, leaving them alone space.

If that didn't work, he planned to contact Li You and prepare to implement a backup plan.

Fortunately, the development of things is now back under control.

Yori Xuan thought a lot in an instant, and finally said: "With your hands and eyes reaching the sky, what can I do that I want to do that I can't hide from you? If I could, you wouldn't be here!"

Saburo looked at him and said, "I don't know what you wanted to do by stealing the chip, but the one you took is the most complete and most important of all experimental products."

"There is a key test to be carried out with that chip next, so there is no bargaining this time, you must hand it over immediately.

"As long as the chip is still there, I will not pursue your fault for the time being. I have always been tolerant to you, but betrayal is intolerable."

After listening to his words, Yori Xuan immediately understood that the key to the problem was time.

In the original world line that Li You "foreseen", he stole the chip next year - the middle of 1977, but now it is only the second half of 1976, which is too early.

Although they had conducted investigations in advance to prevent this kind of thing, Saburo Arasaka kept the information on the progress of chip research very tight. Even a chief R\u0026D engineer like Herman could only get part of the fragmented information and tasks. Arrangement, so Yorinobu's prior investigation did not find the "test" that Saburo mentioned.

The result of this slight difference is that Saburo Arasaka came to Night City faster than Yorinobu expected. It seemed that he did not even have time for his samurai and ninjas to carefully investigate what Yorinobu left behind. many clues.

"...The problem actually comes from this."

Yori Xuan narrowed his eyes, but did not panic. Although the situation deviated from the plan, it was still within control. After all, Zhucun had been dispersed, and only he and Saburo were left here.

So Yori Xuan still said: "...What if I say that I have sold the chip?"

Saburo's eyes suddenly became sharp, even through the thick glasses, it seemed as if a sharp blade was piercing Yori Xuan's heart.

"...I said, betrayal is not allowed. If you hand over the chip to an outsider, you will pay the price."

"And if I can't get the chip back during this trip, this city will also experience the horror with you."

Hearing his words, even with Lai Xuan's current Qi-nurturing skills, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.

"Are you... planning to...?"

Saburo said no more, just looked at Yori Xuan with eyes that were so cold and almost heartless.

Yorinobu's shock and gaffe quickly recovered. He looked at Saburo's face and confirmed that he was not threatening, but telling the truth.

That's right, of course, that's Saburo Arasaka.

Yorinobu laughed at himself in his heart, when had Saburo Arasaka ever done anything bluffing? He was always ready to turn threats into action.

If that's the case, then he doesn't have to hesitate anymore.

Yori Xuan suddenly relaxed. He raised his glass and drank down most of the liquor that was left in the glass. Then he wiped his mouth and said:

"...Yes, you've always been like this."

Lai Xuan suddenly stood up and paced back and forth around the table.

"No matter who or what you are, everything is inferior to yourself in your eyes. You only think about yourself!"

Seeing how excited he became, Saburo frowned slightly: "Yori Xuan..."

He moved his steps, walked up to Lai Xuan, and said coldly: "Don't challenge my patience. Tell me, where did you put the chip?"

Lai Xuan looked at him and sneered: "I just said it has been sold to others!"

Saburo looked at him, as if weighing whether what he said was true or false, and then spoke again after a moment:

"...Really? It seems that you have finally embarked on this path."

"I knew there would be such a day. Sooner or later, your shamelessness will cross my bottom line.

“I’m sorry, Yorinobu.

"I'm glad your mother didn't get to see this moment. She would be heartbroken by the disappointment..."

This is actually not the first time Yori Xuan has heard these words. In order to completely restore the original story, Li You not only described it repeatedly, but also asked Aiji to communicate with Night Demon and demonstrate the game plot in his memory through role-playing.

But at that time, Yori Xuan watched everything from the perspective of a bystander, somewhat lacking in reality. But now, after hearing Saburo mention topics such as "tolerance" and "mother" with his own ears, the anger that had accumulated in his heart for decades was instantly ignited.

"...Yes, that's what happened, that's how it happened."

The anger surging in his heart made Lai Xuan understand why Li You chose to kill Saburo in such a not-so-smart way in the future he had foreseen.

That was the result of the anger and unwillingness he had accumulated so far, and his long-suppressed belief in resistance, which were completely detonated by Saburo's words.

At this time, compared to himself in that world line, he was actually able to suppress this anger. After all, he already knew many things.

However, Yorinobu did not choose to control himself, but allowed the anger in his heart to rise, pushing himself to suddenly reach out his hand and grab Saburo Arasaka, his father's neck!

He exerted force with both arms, grabbed Saburo's neck, and pushed him back so hard that his whole body hit the huge LCD screen at the back.

Arasaka Saburo's eyes finally revealed unexpected horror. He stared at Yori Xuan, raised his hands feebly, grabbed Yori Xuan's arms, tried in vain to break free, but was unable to resist Yori Xuan's control.

Yori Xuan pinched Saburo, pressed his whole body against the LCD screen, and squeezed his neck with all his strength.

But he suddenly let go and took half a step back. His eyes turned away for a moment, and all kinds of thoughts were tumbling in his mind.

What would you think of yourself in the original world line at this time?

Yori Xuan closed and opened his eyes and said:

"...The fear named Saburo, it's time to end. Father."

The next moment, Yori Xuan strangled his neck again!

Arasaka Saburo's throat was squeezed and twisted, and he groaned. The air in his lungs was sucking in vain, but it could no longer sustain his life.

His old body lost the last of its strength. As Yorinobu's hand gradually loosened, the man who single-handedly created the legend of the Arasaka Empire slowly slid down the LCD screen and fell to the ground, losing all vital signs. .

Saburo Arasaka—or at least his body—died.

Yori Xuan looked at Saburo's fallen body, his wide-eyed eyes still filled with horror. He took two steps back helplessly, with a rare look of confusion on his face.

This is not a show, there is no audience here, Yori Xuan is really absent-minded for a moment.

Arasaka Saburo, the one who gave him life, but also one of the culprits who brought the distorted order to this world, died in his own hands.

In the past few decades, Lai Xuan has tried various means of resistance. In his deepest dreams, he also imagined the scene of killing Saburo with his own hands, and imagined if that day really came, would he feel happy, as if the clouds had been cleared and the sun had been seen.

But all that, when it was truly realized at this moment, was illusory. There was nothing else in his heart at this moment, only the confusion that surged.

Is this... right? Can it change?

Even Lai Xuan today, he doesn't know the answer.

But his firm will quickly dispelled the confusion. Lai Xuan stood still, took two deep breaths, and regained his usual calmness.

He looked at the body on the ground, and he knew very well that there was still a mark of Saburo in the shrine, and the story was not really over yet.

Lai Xuan slowed down for a moment, then changed to a panic tone and said: "I... I want to block the hotel, my father has been killed!"

In the Blue Green Building, the alarm sounded instantly.

--In the guest room downstairs, Takemura, the high-imitation heavy hammer, and the cyborg night demons were on standby.

The moment he heard the alarm, Takemura stood up and was shocked: "Lord Arasaka!!"

He immediately ran to the elevator, followed by the high-imitation heavy hammer and others, but when the elevator door opened, he realized that he was a step slower and there was already someone in the elevator.

It was a young woman in an Arasaka uniform. She looked at Takemura and others with an anxious look: "Come up quickly! Lord Lai Xuan may be in danger!"

Takemura quickly scanned her, and the data results showed her position as a counterintelligence agent and the captain of Lai Xuan's personal security team, so he entered the elevator without any doubt.

"What happened?" Takemura also asked her.

"I don't know, but the whole hotel is urgently sealed off, which means... an important person has encountered a serious accident!"

The person in the elevator is naturally V. She is worried and nervous at the moment. Takemura has no doubts at all, but his expression sinks: "... Don't let anything happen, Lord Arasaka!"

The elevator quickly returned to the top floor. Takemura was the first to rush out, and then he saw Lai Xuan standing and Saburo on the ground at a glance, and his heart sank.

"Lord Arasaka!"

Takemura's face changed drastically, and he could no longer care about anything else and rushed to Saburo's body.

But at this moment, his keen fighting sense accumulated over the years caught a hint of threat. Takemura didn't have time to think about it. Krenchikov and Si'an Westin moved instantly and took him forward, narrowly avoiding a short knife swung from behind!

Takemura's figure flashed and pulled away. He turned his head and saw that it was V who tried to sneak attack from behind.

"You...!?"

Takemura immediately looked at Lai Xuan who was standing beside him, but saw that his face was also full of astonishment, while "Heavy Hammer" and the cybernetic Night Devil instantly dispersed, as if they surrounded V in the middle.

V tutted his lips: "Really quick reaction, worthy of being Saburo's personal bodyguard."

Takemura looked at Lai Xuan: "Lord Lai Xuan! Please order them to take down this woman, she may be related to this incident!"

Lai Xuan nodded: "Do it!"

"Heavy Hammer" and others pointed their guns at V, and V seemed to have given up resistance and raised his hands.

Takemura walked into the encirclement and approached her carefully, wanting to ask something, but before he opened his mouth, there was another air disturbance behind him, this time a heavy punch hit his back!

But Takemura was already prepared, and his figure flashed again, and he was about to distance himself.

But this time, with his action, "Heavy Hammer" and V also activated Sian Westin at the same time!

The two figures also accelerated synchronously, the punch of the heavy hammer continued to fly, and V in the back also swung his sword diagonally, attacking Takemura mercilessly.

Takemura made a judgment in an instant that his speed could not avoid the joint attack of the two, and he had to make a choice. The attack of the heavy hammer in front was more threatening, so he should avoid it.

So he sprayed compressed air from his leg prosthesis, pushing his body to move, avoiding the fist of the heavy hammer.

As for the short knife swung by V, Takemura directly reached out and grabbed it, and the power burst out instantly, and suddenly broke the short knife in the middle!

V made a sound at the time, but his reaction was also very fast. He swung his left hand and hit Takemura's shoulder, and at this moment, the projectile launch system on the forearm turned out, and the electric current high-explosive projectile suddenly spit out the projectile!

Takemura: "!?"

This crazy woman, is she going to die!

But he soon realized that he was overthinking. At the moment when V fired the electron projectile from his left arm, the "heavy hammer" on the side rushed over and hit him directly, carrying the electron projectile and his entire body at the same time, smashing into the wall of the suite!

"Boom--!!"

The wall that was hit collapsed instantly, with explosion smoke and electric current flashing, and broken stones flying everywhere.

The "heavy hammer" did not give up, and pressed Takemura down, swinging his fist and smashing him down.

"Bang--! Bang--!"

Seeing that the "heavy hammer" pressed the enemy, V did not move forward, but flashed to Lai Xuan's side, and at the same time closed Sian Westin.

The short and fierce confrontation between the three people just now was carried out in an accelerated state, so everyone present basically only saw three figures flashing around, and then the "heavy hammer" pressed Takemura to the ground and beat him violently.

V looked at Lai Xuan: "Are you okay?"

Rai Xuan shook his head: "I'm fine, everything went well. Next, we just need to subdue Takemura..."

"Bang——!"

Suddenly, a muffled sound different from the previous one attracted everyone's attention.

The "heavy hammer" that had suppressed Takemura swung another punch, but it missed. Takemura dodged it with his head tilted, and then his arm prosthesis suddenly exploded, and with a strong lift, he actually lifted the heavy hammer that was pressing on him!

V: "!?"

Takemura got rid of the suppression of the heavy hammer, and his figure flashed again in an instant, directly hitting a prosthetic night demon that surrounded him, knocking it away and reaching out to grab the assault rifle on it.

And Takemura raised his gun, aiming at Lai Xuan!

The attack just now had made Takemura understand that this incident must have been planned by Lai Xuan, and the death of Lord Arasaka Saburo was probably related to him!

In this case, he must not die here, otherwise, no one can reveal the truth about the death of Lord Arasaka Saburo!

And if he must die, then at least, he should clean up the mess for Saburo-sama and not let such a person control the power of Arasaka.

Takemura naturally didn't know that if he really shot Lai Xuan to death here, Saburo Arasaka himself (the consciousness) would be so angry that he would jump up and down.

But anyway, V would not let him succeed.

The moment Takemura got rid of the "heavy hammer", V also began to accelerate. She flashed to the side of another cyborg Night Demon and reached out from behind it to pull out her gun - a modified Achilles.

V stood still, took advantage of the acceleration of Sian Westin to aim at Takemura, and pulled the trigger without hesitation!

"Bang--!!"

The bullet was ejected after a short period of charging, and hit his arm prosthesis before Takemura had time to shoot Lai Xuan.

Takemura's movements instantly changed, and the assault rifle in his hand fell, and the whole person couldn't help but stagger to the side.

He turned his head to look at V in astonishment. Did this woman predict his target before he made a move?

How could this be...

"Bang Bang--!!"

Without giving him much time to think, V's expression was cold and solemn, and he pulled the trigger again!

Takemura wanted to raise his hand to block, but the power of Achilles' charged shot was enough to make his medium-sized subcutaneous armor defenseless, and the speed was so fast that he could not dodge.

He could only use his specially customized arm prosthesis to barely resist, but he could not find a way to break the deadlock. Under the control of an opponent of the same level, a technical rifle that was not rare in the first place also became a huge threat.

And after being delayed for only a moment, the "heavy hammer" on the side had already rushed up again, with double-arm machine guns and projectiles ejected, while shooting wildly at Takemura, and the whole person directly hit him again!

Suppressed by firepower, Takemura still failed to avoid its impact this time, and was pushed onto the LCD screen column behind. The "heavy hammer" even pushed him in from one end and out from the other, smashing the entire pillar to pieces!

Takemura was thrown out and rolled on the ground for several rounds before stopping. His skin was torn and blood was dripping all over his body.

But after such a heavy blow, he didn't lose consciousness and was still struggling to stand up.

However, V didn't want to delay any longer. The longer they delayed, the more dangerous they would be. So she rushed up immediately before Takemura stood up, swung the Achilles in her hand, and smashed it heavily on Takemura's head with all her strength!

"Bang--!"

This heavy blow broke all of Takemura's resistance. He fell to the ground with a "bang" and finally lost consciousness.

And V looked at the Achilles with a twisted gun in his hand, and was also a little amazed: "This guy... is really tough."

"Heavy hammer" stepped forward silently, completely subdued Takemura, locked him up, and lifted him in his hand.

Lai Xuan, who had just hidden, came closer to look at him and said, "It's normal, because for him, loyalty to my father is his only belief. Fighting for belief will make people tenacious."

V shook his head: "Unfortunately, he trusted the wrong person."

"...That's true." Lai Xuan did not deny it, "But this is the ability of Saburo Arasaka. We will definitely have to deal with more people like this next."

As he spoke, several gunshots were heard from the rooftop helipad. It was the Night Demons who had just been sent by Lai Xuan to deal with the bodyguards who stayed behind in the hovercraft.

Lai Xuan looked at V again: "Very good, now everything is done here. But it's not over yet, next is my battlefield."

"Get ready, it's time to urgently convene the board of directors."

V also nodded: "Then, I will survey the scene now and make records according to the standards of the Counterintelligence Department."

Lai Xuan nodded: "Okay."
