Game world survival starts from Resident Evil 2

Outside Arasaka Tower.

Since Li You led his men into the gate, the entrance of Arasaka Tower was immediately sealed and has not been opened until now.

Various media outlets surrounded the entrance in three layers inside and outside. This time, even the ace reporters of N54 and WNS did not fall behind and all rushed here.

There was no way. Arasaka Tower was in chaos and they were locked up. These two news stations could not get any news and had to send people to watch it with their own eyes.

The order of the media present was also very clear. Big news stations like WNS and N54 squeezed in the innermost part. The less famous and financially powerful ones were closer to the outside, and the teams stood in an especially neat line.

But in fact, no one knew when their waiting would bear fruit. If they were unlucky, they would have to shoot the sealed gate of Arasaka Tower here all night.

If it weren't for the fact that during this process, there were always faint explosions in Arasaka Tower, and even some kind of vibration sound came from under their feet for a while, even these reporters would have fallen asleep.

I don't know how long they waited before there was finally movement at the gate.

Everyone present, including N54 blonde host Gillian Jordan, who came specially for the field work, was refreshed at the same time and looked towards the entrance.

With a subtle mechanical sound, the explosion-proof alloy door that originally sealed the gate of Arasaka Tower slowly retracted and opened.

From the dim hall, several figures slowly walked out.

"It's... it's Li You!"

After a short moment of holding their breath and watching, the first reporter finally shouted, and everyone else also pointed the camera at the man's face.

And that was naturally Li You.

But it was not just him. Following behind him, first V and David, then Yuzu and Edge, who had already regained their human form, and the members of Mann's team.

Although so many people came out at once, the media's attention was still on Li You.

Not only because he was walking in the front, but also because, at this moment, Li You was holding a knife in one hand and dragging a mutilated corpse in the other.

No, it is not accurate to say it was a corpse. Although the man that Li You dragged lost his limbs, had broken mechanical organs all over his body, and even part of his brain was exposed, his occasional twitching movements still showed that he was still alive.

And more than this, someone quickly recognized the identity of this person.

"No... Impossible, could it be..."

"Adam Hammer?"

The reporters suddenly became quiet. So much so that even at this moment, no one dared to go up to "interview" Li You.

It was only after a while that a man squeezed in from the back of the crowd, and under the gaze of many colleagues, he ran to Li You, shouting while running: "Mr. Li... Mr. Li You!!"

Li You turned his head and smiled: "It's you. Why are you still here?"

Many media looked at the man who rushed out, and some people also recognized him: Isn't this the lucky tabloid reporter?

The man didn't care what his colleagues thought of him. He held up an old-fashioned camera and came to Li You. He calmed down and asked in a steady voice: "Mr. Li You, can I interview you about what you did in Arasaka Tower? Who is this...?"

Although other reporters were envious, jealous, and regretful, they also focused their attention on him at this time.

Yes, what did Li You do in Arasaka Tower with so many people? Was he dragging Adam Hammer?

Li You smiled unchanged: "I'm just a mercenary. What can I do?"

"I just accepted the employment of a client to help solve some minor problems. Here, this is one of them.

"As for who he is, can you media people still not recognize him? "

Li You raised his hand and threw the remains of Adam Heavy Hammer in his hand to the open space in front of him.

Looking at the scarred but still hideous Night City legend, even the male reporter was scared back a step, and the scene fell silent for a while.

In contrast, the vibration of his body made Adam Heavy Hammer regain consciousness. He barely opened his eyes and turned his head to look at Li You: "...When the time comes, huh?"

Li You nodded slightly: "The right time, the right occasion, it's time to send you on your way."

The Heavy Hammer in front of him was himself. He was transported from outside the city by the Night Demons not long ago, just for this occasion.

Heavy Hammer looked at Li You, and an inorganic laugh came out of his broken throat: "...You do have the top strength in the legend, but when will there be someone else who will kill you like you killed me!"

"Then you don't have to worry about it. "

Li You waved his hand, and David and V came forward. David held his Lexington, and V held Johnny Bao. At this time, Johnny's Q version image appeared, but he did not shout, but just stared at the heavy hammer.

The two stood on the left and right of Li You, looked at each other, and then fired at the same time!

"Bang--! ! "

Two bullets, one shot into the brain of the heavy hammer, and the other pierced his core.

The heavy hammer trembled violently, and then the light of the core in his chest gradually dimmed.

And finally, Li You raised the knife and swung the knife! The mechanical head of the heavy hammer flew into the air and then fell to the ground.

What flowed out of the broken neck was not blood, but a dark oily substance.

On the head of the heavy hammer, the pair of electronic eyes flashed and went out completely.

The surrounding media, including the man closest to them, stared at this scene blankly, and no one spoke.

Until Li You and his companions left, these media talents instantly exploded!

Not only them, the short execution just now had been broadcast live, so the whole city saw this scene!

"Tonight's headline - Adam Hammer's death!!"

After several hours of waiting, the whole city finally got the first news. And when this news came, the mercenaries in the city were boiling!

There were heated discussions on the streets, and even employees from major bars and companies were talking about this news. Adam Hammer's death became the spark that ignited the whole city at night!

But Li You had already driven away with his companions. Some media who reacted wanted to find them, but it was too late.

Everyone returned to Li You's apartment together, and Mann took the initiative as soon as he entered the door: "I won't go home until I'm drunk today!!"

"Oh--!!"

...

Late at night.

Li You stood alone on the second floor of the balcony. He had just finished talking to Lai Xuan and was thinking about what loopholes needed to be improved.

Since he had taken everyone, including V, out of Arasaka Tower, that was naturally based on the premise that Saburo Arasaka's men had been subdued, but the finishing touches had to be handed over to Rai Xuan.

——A few hours ago.

After Rai Xuan connected Ultra's chip to the mikoshi and asked her to completely destroy it, the battle against Saburo Arasaka that he and Li You had started was basically over.

Including Arasaka Tower, Rai Xuan would go down to the bottom floor in person because there were only a few rebels in the tower due to the actions of the Night Demons and the Mann team who joined later.

When the news of Saburo Arasaka's death came out, this group of people lost their last fighting spirit. Some committed suicide, some wanted to die together but failed, and the last few chose to surrender.

After the battle, Li You and Rai Xuan returned to the upper floor of Arasaka Tower, where the Night Demons gathered the Arasaka board members, the heads of various departments, and other important figures.

So, including Arasaka Hanako, Arasaka Michiko, and all the board members, were here. In addition, there is Abernathy, whose name Li You is very familiar with but has never seen in the game before, and senior executives of her level, and down to department heads like Jenkins.

In addition to them, there are Takemura, Oda, and their subordinates, the remaining Arasaka ninja team.

With these people, basically all the main senior executives in Arasaka Tower are here.

And what is the purpose of summoning them? Of course, it is to educate them ideologically so that Lai Xuan can completely control the Arasaka branch in Night City!

The conflict with Saburo was too big, and everyone in Arasaka Tower with a little bit of brains knew what happened. And this will be the base for Lai Xuan to take over Arasaka affairs, and there is no room for error, so all the management with a little status has been concentrated here.

These people need to be educated ideologically to ensure their loyalty to Lai Xuan.

Lai Xuan himself naturally doesn't like this method, but he can distinguish the primary and secondary contradictions, and understands that it is very necessary to do so.

And when it comes to other branches, or even the Tokyo headquarters, it only needs to start with the board of directors.

At this time, in the hall here, apart from this group of captives, there are only Li You, Lai Xuan, V, and some night demons. Everyone else is sweeping the building and doing the final cleanup.

Li You already has the Illuminati Canon in his hand and is ready.

Among all the captives, only Arasaka Hanako is not in the education team. Now that Saburo is dead, Lai Xuan still doesn't want Hanako to be involved, so she is just held by the night demons and waits aside.

As for Lai Xuan's niece, Michiko, who is close to military technology, other board members, and Arasaka samurai such as Takemura and Oda, they don't have this opportunity.

In fact, the character of Takemura Goro is still popular among the player community. Of course, everyone basically evaluates him as "not a bad nature, but unfortunately loyal to Arasaka Saburo".

This is true. As an important character in the main storyline, it can be seen in the process of cooperating with Takemura in the game that this uncle actually has his own interesting side, but once it involves the Arasaka family and Saburo Arasaka, he will become extremely stubborn and will not turn back even if he hits the south wall.

Even in the devil's ending, V told Saburo Takemura that he was not dead. He had already made a backup of his consciousness, but he just watched Takemura being hunted down. But even if Takemura knew this fact and was hit hard, he still insisted on being loyal to Saburo Arasaka and refused to leave in the end.

This kind of obsession cannot be changed by others.

Li You did not have much good feelings for Takemura. Blind loyalty was not a plus point for him, but he did think it was a pity that Takemura's talent in both civil and military affairs was wasted in this setting, so he simply arranged for him to join the ranks of receiving ideological education.

At this moment, Li You stood in front of the board of directors, the executive group and the ninjas, and slowly opened the Illuminati Canon in his hand.

As he was chanting something in a low voice, the Canon of Light began to emit a faint light, attracting the attention of everyone in front of him.

These people began to repeat the words of Li You unconsciously. At first, it was a bit chaotic, but gradually became uniform, and finally gathered into a torrent of sound, resounding throughout the hall!

At this moment, V next to him seemed to see a white dragon appear above Li You's head, but it flashed away. She was not sure if it was her illusion.

As the Illuminati Canon in Li You's hand trembled violently, a light shone on the cover of the book, which continued to shine, then closed automatically, and the chanting stopped.

All the people on the board of directors lowered their heads, but then raised them again and looked at Li You.

Li You waved his hand: "Look, the current owner of the Arasaka family, Arasaka Yoriyuki, is looking at you."

Everyone raised their heads and looked at Yoriyuki beside them, then stood up and bowed to him.

Lai Xuan came to Li You and asked, "Is this... done?"

Li You nodded, "Just like your special team."

Lai Xuan also put away the complicated emotions in his heart and said, "Okay, then leave it to me next. This Arasaka Tower is completely under my control."

"You can go back first. I will hold a press conference tomorrow morning."

Li You also nodded, "I will leave the Night Demons to protect you. These Arasaka ninjas have also changed their minds and can be tried."

As Li You said this, he waved his hand deliberately. So Takemura and Oda led the Arasaka ninjas to line up in front of Lai Xuan and salute: "Lord Arasaka!"

Rai Xuan also nodded, "Okay, very good. Now..."

But he had just said half of his words when Takemura, who was standing in front of him, suddenly flashed a fierce light in his eyes, and suddenly attacked, turning his palm into a knife, stabbing Lai Xuan's chest!

"Go to hell, traitor!!"

Takemura shouted and attacked, his face full of determination.

A trace of surprise flashed across Lai Xuan's face, but he immediately flew back and avoided Takemura's surprise attack.

This was of course not done by him, but by Li You who had been prepared and dragged him back. In contrast, V had stepped forward at the same time and grabbed Takemura's wrist, thus clamping him in place and blocking his subsequent pursuit.     Takemura subconsciously looked at V and wanted to break free, but behind him, led by Oda who had changed his allegiance, the Arasaka ninjas all drew their samurai swords and stabbed their former leader without hesitation!

"Puff--"

Blood spurted out of Takemura's mouth. He struggled to look back and saw only Oda's expressionless face.

"...Anyone who dares to attack Arasaka-sama will die."

Hearing these words from Oda, Takemura suddenly stopped moving.

A trace of regret flashed across V's face, but he didn't say anything. She let go of Takemura's hand, and the ninjas behind Takemura also drew their swords.

Without support, Takemura could not stand up. He fell to his knees with a thud, and blood gushed out of him.

He knelt on the ground, leaned back, raised his head, and looked at the huge chandelier emitting light from the top of the hall, as if he saw the person who had brought him salvation and change.

"Arasaka-sama, long live..."

After muttering such a sentence, Takemura's life finally passed away from his body.

V, Lai Xuan and Li You looked at the dead Takemura, and they were speechless for a while.

After a long time, Lai Xuan asked: "You just knew that the brainwashing of him was not successful?"

Li You replied: "I can't be sure whether it was successful or not, but I just noticed something abnormal in him... He is the only one."

"I didn't expect that someone could resist my ability with his own will."

Li You was also impressed by Takemura's firm will, but when he thought about it, what supported Takemura to resist his brainwashing was his loyalty to Saburo Arasaka, he couldn't help but feel a little... disappointed.

It can only be said that Takemura's loyalty to Arasaka Saburo, who changed his fate and life, is engraved in his bones.

So this ending may be the most suitable for him.

Lai Xuan was silent for a moment, waved his hand: "Collect his body and secretly... send it back to his hometown later."

The other ninjas bowed and accepted the order, carried Takemura's body and left.

Lai Xuan exhaled heavily and said, "I feel sorry for Takemura, but it is precisely because of people like him and such things that I have never wavered in my determination to overthrow Saburo Arasaka for so many years."

He looked at Li You again: "Leave this to me. You have worked hard, go back and rest."

"Oh, by the way, V, you may have to come to the company before and after tomorrow's press conference, so don't be too indulgent."

After this period of time, V seemed to be very familiar with Lai Xuan, and she would not care about the difference in status between boss and employee when getting along with him, so she just smiled: "That's what I want to say, don't get too excited tonight."

At this point, Li You finally took his people and left Arasaka Tower, and before leaving, he also completed the execution of Adam Hammer at the entrance.

——Back to the present moment, it was late at night, and the death of Hammer was still fermenting in Night City, but more people in high positions were also concerned about the situation in Arasaka Tower.

Even Adam Hammer died in the battle, so what happened to Arasaka Yoshinobu and his men?

Some of them tried to contact Li You, but unfortunately Li You had already turned off the function of receiving communications and ignored them, so they could only worry.

Li You just laughed it off. He stood on the balcony, looking at the brightly lit Night City, thinking: If you want to know what happened, just wait for tomorrow's press conference!

Li You drank the wine in the glass and went back downstairs... It was a mess again.

As usual, Mann and his group lay down, especially Mann, Dolio and Pira, who slept together on the sofa.

There were many wine glasses beside them, and it was none other than Yuzu who made all three of them drunk.

Seeing Li You coming down, Yuzu burped and said, "They...can't drink!"

Li You was happy: let alone Mann and the others, even he himself couldn't drink more than Yuzu!

In addition to the hall, there were also people on the balcony on the first floor, such as David and his friends.

David didn't drink too much. He, Lucy, and even Gloria, looked at the night view of the city by the pool outside the balcony, chatting from time to time.

David was smiling happily, and Lucy also smiled and leaned against David. Gloria stood a little further away, looking at the two of them, with a happy smile on her face.

Li You would naturally not disturb the family of three, after all, even Rebecca was very tactful and didn't join in the fun.

...Hmm? Wait a minute?

Thinking of this, Li You turned around and saw Rebecca, Edge, Sasha, and even V, all of whom were drinking and chatting at the bar on the other side.

This surprised Li You a little: What are you guys, this weird group, talking about here?

He was thinking about going over to take a look, but was discovered by the four people. Sasha and Rebecca actually came over and pushed Li You away.

"We women are talking in private! You can't listen!"

"That's right, go drink by yourself!"

Li You: "?"

...Okay.

Li You didn't care and returned to the bedroom on the second floor.

He was still conscious, so he opened the system panel and looked at the achievements he had completed in this world.

He had been in Night City for almost a year. In his spare time, he had already completed all the achievements he could, such as the achievement of cyberpsychosis, and there were others.

However, Li You had not sorted out the rewards for those achievements yet, so maybe he could take a look tonight.

Moreover, Li You was also concerned about whether his main quest was completed.

But when he clicked on the main task, he found that "Becoming a True Legend in Night City" was still in an unfinished state, but there was an additional mark at the end.

"It will be completed soon."

Li You thought: "... Interesting."

At this time, there was a noise at the door of the bedroom. Li You looked back and saw that it was the four people who were whispering just now.

The other three were waiting outside the door, only Sasha stood by the door and asked cautiously: "Li You, can we... chat?"

Li You: "Ah?"

...

The next day.

The eyes of the whole city were focused again, this time because Arasaka Corporation finally held a press conference.

All media in Night City paid great attention to this, because from major companies to street people, they all wanted to know what was going on in Arasaka Tower.

And what surprised and dissatisfied many people was that it was Arasaka Yoshinobu who appeared at the press conference.

Moreover, he looked calm and safe.

Those who were not happy to see him were a little gnashing their teeth. How come Adam Hammer was dead, but you, the employer, were still alive?

But what Lai Xuan announced at the press conference immediately afterwards made everyone drop their jaws.

At the press conference, Lai Xuan did not hide anything, and the first sentence pointed the finger directly at Military Technology!

He publicly announced that his father, Arasaka Saburo, the helmsman of the Arasaka Group, was indeed killed in the Blue Blue Building yesterday, and it was Military Technology that instigated his father's personal bodyguard to rebel.

And after he returned to Arasaka Tower, Military Technology even continued to reach out, instigated the opposition within Arasaka, and launched an armed attack on him.

However, Lai Xuan said that fortunately he had been prepared and hired elite mercenaries for support, and finally suppressed all the opponents infiltrated by the enemy.

Although someone asked about Adam Heavy Hammer's situation at the scene, Lai Xuan ignored it.

The company announcement does not need to be logical. Leaving a little unreasonable for the world to imagine, it is more beneficial to him.

After explaining the causes and consequences of the previous riots, Lai Xuan immediately announced that because Arasaka also suffered heavy losses in the process, even the core technology project "Mikoto" was hit.

Therefore, the Mikoto is currently in a state of maintenance, and the "Protect Your Soul" project service will not be open for a long time.

At the same time, Lai Xuan also announced that he would take over the position of president and CEO of his father Arasaka Saburo, and would formally hold Military Technology accountable!

He even said, "If Military Technology can't give us a satisfactory answer, Arasaka will not hesitate to use all means, including war"!

As soon as this was said, public opinion instantly ignited the entire Night City!

Of course, everyone is reserved about what happened inside Arasaka, but Lai Xuan's tough declaration has made many people excited.

Is it true that Arasaka and Military Technology are really going to go to war again?

Compared with the grassroots people, people who understand corporate politics think that the two companies should not fight. Lai Xuan's tough attitude is more to establish a typical external enemy to consolidate his position.

Moreover, the evidence Lai Xuan produced seems to be ironclad, but in fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that it can be forged by just finding a few hackers with some skills.

I'm afraid that the military technology side will not bother to refute this kind of "evidence", and it is even more nonsense to start a war with it.

Generally speaking, their thinking is correct. Unfortunately, these people don't know that Lai Xuan's goal was actually military technology from the beginning...

Of course, even so, the official start of the war is a matter of the future, and Li You doesn't know if he can wait until then.

Because this morning, when Lai Xuan held a press conference, he had already arrived at the next life bar, in Rogge's private box.

Rogge was still wearing the yellow waist-baring shirt with the word "SURVIVE" printed on it, smiling, and asked Li You to sit down.

"Congratulations, Li You." She said calmly, "You are now a legend in Night City, and no one will question this."

"After all, you are a mercenary who walked out of the next life, so according to our tradition, the bar will also have an extra copy of your cocktail recipe, named after you.

"Although there has never been wine belonging to the living in the next life in the past, but considering your current reputation, this exception has to be made.

"As for the recipe, do you have any idea?"

Li You looked at Rogge and smiled: "Then leave it to Claire, I don't understand this either."

Rogge nodded and snapped his fingers: "Then, this first cup of 'Hunter Li You', I'll treat you."

Li You: "..."

How should I put it, this name still feels too weird.

He wanted to complain, but as Claire put a freshly mixed glass of brand new wine in front of him, Li You heard a slight sound in his ear, and the system prompt had popped up.

[Ding! ]

[Cyberpunk main quest: Become a true legend in Night City, completed. ]
