Chapter 799 Show
At this moment, outside the Ganbi Building, there was already panic. NCPD surrounded the entire continent, and not far away, the reporter in charge of transferring the broadcast also looked anxious and faced the camera with a serious expression.
"Just just now, we received a tip that an attack occurred at Kanbi Building. Although the specific situation is not clear, there is news that the penthouse suite where Arasaka Raikun, the eldest son of Arasaka Group, was located was attacked. At present, NCPD has broken into Kanbi Building, but the situation inside is still unknown..."
"Bang!!"
However, before the reporter finished speaking, suddenly, a violent sound suddenly came from the Ganbi Building behind her, and all the glass and walls on the first floor burst. The reporter turned his head and then saw hundreds of NCPD policemen wearing police uniforms flying backwards from the building and falling heavily to the ground.
Seeing this scene, the police and reporters around were all shocked. At the same time, under the illumination of the searchlight, a figure in a robe walked out of the gate of the Ganbi Building. For granted, the glitter of the searchlight shone on the figure. Her whole body was covered with a white robe, and her face was completely unaware. Not only that, what makes people care more about is the corpse that is like garbage in the white robe.
That''s...?
Before everyone could react, the girl in white robe raised her hands and everyone saw the three bodies in her hand suddenly flying up, then drew an arc and inserted it on the flagpole in front of the gate of the Ganbi Building. The reporters also hurriedly moved the camera and looked at the corpses. After seeing those faces clearly, they were shocked.
"That''s...Raitsuru Arasaka?"
"And Saburo Arasaka?"
"Adam''s heavy hammer?!"
The reporters are all informed. Saburo Arasaka and Raitsuki Arasaka are both big names in the business world. Of course, they will not not know each other. Adam''s heavy hammer is a legend of Night City. However, now, their bodies are stuck on the flagpole, like a piece of bacon waiting to be dried.
What''s going on? What the **** is going on?
"NCPD, put down your weapons and surrender immediately!"
The reporters were stunned, and the NCPD police officer in front also raised his weapons and hid behind the car and aimed at the girl in white robe. The pale searchlight fell from the sky and shone on the girl''s body, pulling her shadow into a long way. From a distance, the girl''s shadow was like an unknown monster shrouded in the Ganbi Building, and it was even shaking constantly.
However, in the face of NCPD''s warning, the girl in white robe turned a deaf ear. She just raised her head and looked at everyone. Then, he spoke.
"Arasaka Saburo is dead."
The girl''s voice was not loud. Logically speaking, in this noisy scene, her voice was no different from her soft voice. But it appeared in everyone''s ears, as if whispering directly deep in their hearts.
“Raitsuru Arasaka is dead.”
"Adam was beaten to death."
“………………”
Facing the girl''s words, there was a silence below, and everyone''s eyes widened, not knowing what to say. Instinct tells them that such a ridiculous thing is absolutely impossible to happen. Because Saburo Arasaka is the chairman of the world''s largest company, Arasaka Group, and the emperor of this world, but reason tells them that the body of the shriveled old man who was inserted on the flagpole and swayed in the wind was Saburo Arasaka.
This local emperor who once almost dominated the entire world has now become a corpse.
"Open, fire!"
Gunshots were loud, hundreds of guns opened fire at the same time, and the roaring gunshots enveloped everything. The smoke filled the gunpowder and the debris scattered. After five minutes, the continuous gunfire stopped. However, when the smoke of gunpowder dissipated, everyone was surprised to see that the figure was still standing steadily at the front door of Ganbi Building, and even the robe on her was not broken at all.
"This...this is..."
People looked at each other in confusion and didn''t know how to deal with it. The other party had no intention of fighting back, but their attacks were not effective at all?
Just as everyone was puzzled, the girl reached out and grabbed the robe on her body, then threw it away.
The next moment, everyone''s eyes widened in surprise.
Under the illumination of the searchlight, the girl in front of her was wearing crimson armor, her long platinum hair exuded a glory like a halo, and her soft face had an unimaginable beauty, clean, soft and luxurious. It is not from beauty in a certain instinctive sense, but an idealized human form. People in this world have different definitions of beauty and ugliness, but no one will be moved by her beauty when they see her. It is not simply from aesthetic considerations, but from the instinctive heart, human desire and praise for their most perfect goals.
White wings appeared from behind the girl, raised high and spread out, emitting a holy glory. Under her gaze, people felt inexplicably ashamed and ashamed. They lowered their heads in panic to cover up their prosthetic body, as if it was an extremely ugly existence.
At this moment, D completely showed the power of the Primarch from the Holy Blood Angel, just like the Emperor and the same power as San Gilles. That kind of indescribable shock and glory, just standing there, you will instinctively recognize her existence, understand her existence, and confirm her existence.
No language, no affirmation, she is there, and any human being knows who she is and why she is here.
Some people who believe in pious have knelt down. They folded their hands together and muttered to themselves in disbelief, their eyes closed, leaving tears of shame. They think this is the arrival of retribution. The sins of this city are so deep that even God cannot bear to look at them. So what will be next?
Will this city, together with its people, be destroyed in God''s wrath like Sodom?
Even the NCPD is the same. Some police officers even threw away the weapons in their hands, as if it was a hot fire stick. They rubbed their hands on their uniforms in a hurry, and then lowered their heads. It was out of shame or guilt, no one could tell.
“This world has been entangled with too many sins, so I am here.”
The girl walked slowly down, her voice still light, but it also echoed in everyone''s ears.
"I will change all this. Starting from this city, the sin and greed of capitalists have distorted the direction of humanity. They control everything in this world wantonly and foolishly believe that the power of money can do everything. Now, I will appear here and tell them that this is a completely wrong idea. Their stupid idea will not succeed, and now... this city will be ruled by me."
“————!”
Hearing D''s words, everyone was in an uproar. They whispered in surprise, and they never expected that this would end. The other party’s meaning is very obvious, and it can be said that it is very clear.
She wants to become the ruler of this city?
"You can''t do this!"
Suddenly, someone shouted.
"We are free, this city is free, no matter who you are, you can''t...!"
However, his words end here.
D just raised his head and looked at him. The next moment, everyone - whether on the scene, or staying on the video live, or even knowing nothing about it, felt an unparalleled fear suddenly appear, as if even their city, their bodies, their souls and even their spirits would be destroyed.
At the same time, something even more unimaginable happened - everything around began to stop.
The car stopped running, the tram stopped on the track, and everyone stopped moving. It was not the kind of spiritual shock like the one I had seen before when I witnessed an unimaginable existence, but it came from the physical level.
Their prosthetic bodies were stagnant, as if all functions were locked, and their bodies became like robots, as if they had completely lost their motivation and could only stand in place.
"free?"
D showed a trace of contemptuous mockery.
"When you connect your spirit with electronics, digitize your memories, and abandon your original bodies, you have lost your freedom. Now, you have only one choice."
As he spoke, D raised his hands while everyone''s eyes were like a puppet pulling a string, looking upwards in a daze along her movements.
"Survival or destruction, choose your own choice."
Then, the girl''s voice sounded from their ears again.
How long does it take to conquer Night City?
D answered this question with his own personal experience.
One night.
When the sun emerged from the other side of the horizon again, she was already sitting on the highest level of Arasaka Tower, looking at the city in front of her that seemed to have no changes - but in fact, the city has completely changed.
D Let Liumier lock all systems, including prosthetic bodies, neural devices, ICEs, weapons, vehicles, and everything is locked. Only with her permission can it be opened, and last night, D was the first to be loyal to her.
NCPD and the terrorist mobile team. On the one hand, they succumbed to their awe and fear of themselves, and on the other hand, they had no choice.
If they are unwilling to surrender, they will become a robot that loses control, cannot move, cannot do anything, and then die alive.
They don’t know how this is done, but D has shown the power to control their life and death at will, so they can only obey.
But this is just the beginning. Next, Connection D issued several commands.
First of all, all company assets in Night City are frozen, Arasaka assets are completely taken over to Night City, and all private armed forces of all companies will be disbanded again, either joining the NCPD or becoming part of the official army of Night City. Any company armed forces are prohibited, and all private armed equipment will be recycled by Night City.
This decision naturally made the representatives of the company very angry, but it was useless. Whether they were in the comfortable room of a nightclub or in their own warm and comfortable home, their bodies were completely imprisoned, and all equipment and functions were locked, so they could only watch the orders being executed.
But this is just the beginning.
Next, the purge of all senior officials of the Night City company began.
In Night City, most senior officials in the company are not clean, and they have done a lot of bad things. Of course, in the past, NCPD colluded with these guys, and even if their actions were enough to make people sick, NCPD could directly cover it up.
But now it’s different.
The case files were taken out again, sorted out, and the files were cleared. All the culprits were caught and hung on the street lights.
The most active person in execution of this order is naturally the NCPD police officers. The reason they join NCPD is to protect the public order in this city. In fact, many times, they can only watch the criminals leave proudly in front of them, but they can''t do anything.
But now it’s different. They can rush directly into the homes of those powerful bastards, drag their unmovable bodies out and stuff them into the police car, and then take them to the square to hang them on the street lights!
The whole process went very smoothly without any resistance. Because only those who have received D''s permission can move, others can only move like a puppet, motionless. So no matter what bodyguards those executives have, no helpers are useful - what is more ironic is that those bodyguards and helpers naturally have implanted a large number of prosthetic bodies, so they are even more unable to act.
A large number of assets belonging to these executives and politicians were confiscated, houses were seized, and politicians, company executives, those who participated in murder and various other evil deeds were punished as they deserved.
At the same time, a gun ban order was issued!
Yes, D ordered everyone to hand over all the guns they own, whether it is intelligence, power, or technology, in short, all confiscated. No one can hide guns for any reason except the NCPD and the official army of Night City!
This order naturally aroused the disgust of many people, but they had no choice because these guns were also locked and they could not use them at all. These guns are in their hands, and now they are no different from a fire stick.
But unfortunately, D doesn''t care about their thoughts.
Next, D made several plans for Night City, including recycling a large number of uninhabited houses in Night City and rebuilding them into apartment buildings. There are also some dilapidated houses that will be destroyed for reconstruction, and she recruits a lot of people to maintain the cleaning of Night City - to be honest, D is really fed up with the almost-clogged garbage bags and the disgusting smell of corruption in the apartment corridors, and the random graffiti on the walls.
All this requires a lot of people to do. Fortunately, there are indeed many unemployed people in Night City who have lost their jobs. As long as they are willing, they can apply for these reconstruction and cleaning jobs. They will get food, pay and have a small room for living. Although it is not big, they can at least avoid wandering on the streets.
Of course, in addition to this, there is a considerable trouble in Night City.
That''s the gangster.
And D is now negotiating with these gangs.
"I have killed all the Scavenger and the Vortex Gang."
Looking at the holographic projection in front of him, D spoke faintly.
"My request is very simple. The gang is the biggest unstable factor in Night City and must be disbanded. The Animal Gang can do construction work, as for Valentino, the Sixth Street Gang and the Voodoo Gang, the same is true. You can do other, serious jobs. I know that many of your gang have to join them because of life, so I now give you a chance to get rid of those illegal and criminal activities and do what normal humans should do. Instead of fighting every day for seizing territory or lending usury."
"Just just say you want us to disband?"
The leader of the Six Street Gang opposite was obviously not interested in this.
"Just kidding, I will never accept it——"
However, before he finished speaking, D snapped his fingers and the next moment, accompanied by a scream, the man''s head fell down.
"Then you go and die and find someone you are willing to accept."
“………You really have to do this amazing thing? D.”
Kazuko sighed.
"You don''t really think that relying on this will allow you to rule Night City. The power of the company is unimaginable, and Arasaka can easily destroy everything here."
“Arasaka is not worth mentioning.”
D said lightly.
"Maybe you haven''t read today''s morning news yet? Then let''s take a look."
As he spoke, D turned on the TV news and soon, he saw a nervous host appearing on the news channel.
"Good morning, everyone, now play a breaking news for you. At the Munich Information Security Conference held last night, a sensational news was disclosed - a source revealed that Arasaka Company conducted artificial manufacturing and control experiments on cyber mental illness in the name of manufacturing soul chips. They controlled the bodies and spirits of others by implanting backdoors on chips and prosthetics, so that they could be transformed into puppets under their control. All organizations were shocked by the news. The stock market just opened today. The stock price of Arasaka fell by 15 percentage points. Governments have issued orders to seize all Arasaka assets in the country and strictly review them. At the same time, the United Nations is considering a new bill to control..."
“…………”
Everyone was stunned when they saw this news. In fact, if it weren''t for the changes in Night City last night that were too shocking, they would probably be shocked by this news like everyone else.
"Wait, you used this to control us?"
"Of course not. Arasaka''s skills are simply incomparable to me, and you have also seen that, as I said, when you abandon your body, you have already abandoned your freedom and become slaves to others. So don''t talk to me about freedom here, power - slaves say this kind of thing will only make people laugh."
“………………”
Hearing D''s ridicule, everyone was speechless for a moment. As D said, they were simply a group of slaves, but they just thought they had freedom. But in fact, companies have controlled everything about them, even their bodies.
“But that’s not enough.”
Wakako frowned.
"You should understand, D. Night City is sandwiched between the New America and the Free State. The reason why we can maintain independence is because of the existence of Arasaka. If Arasaka and other companies did not exist, Night City would have been annexed. I am afraid that now, the New America army is already on the way to Night City."
"You don''t need to worry about this."
Faced with his conversation with Gezi, D just raised his eyebrows.
"No one can shake my rule over Night City, neither the United States nor the New America, and now, I just want you to give an answer - survival? Or destruction?"
“………………”
Everyone looked at each other and then lowered their heads.
The answer is self-evident.
