As long as Lille dies, then all the damage he caused to Arasaka Saburoâs plans can be compensated:
The Ye Groupâs brainwashing plan is almost exposed to Arasaka Saburo. Publicly, he supports Hot, opposes Jefferson, and hopes to eliminate the disobedient Ryan, but secretly, he is already aware of everything.
Since he knows everything about this plan, and everything about Jefferson, he can completely arrange for a Ninja to use Soul Killer to eliminate Jefferson after a public failure. Thus Ye Group would only believe theyâve won, when in fact, a big change will still occur someday in the future.
And Lille, if he had chosen to kneel and become an "officially recognized" boss, regardless of Ryanâs fate, the subsequent scenario would definitely arrive at an Arasaka win-win situation, for Arasaka, itâs merely a matter of winning big or small.
So Arasaka doesnât care about him at all, until he took action considered mad by the world:
Kidnapping Jefferson, attacking Ryan!
This way, Ye Group was inexplicably struck, and the outcome exceeded peopleâs medical expectations greatly:
Ryan survived, Jefferson broke free from Ye Groupâs control, and the two teamed up to become leaders of independent Night City. A large number of local Night City gangs and NCPD were normalized, and the market began to see a large scale of high-end products.
All companies are in shock because every company suffered interest losses in this series of events, among which Arasaka suffered the most. The situation turned from a guaranteed victory into a state completely out of control.
But once Lille is dead...
Everything can be smoothly resolved.
Being trapped by Soul Killer, yet this isnât the worst, the worst is he had to retract all cross-dimensional communication traffic used on power to maintain communication with little octopus, at the very least ensuring he doesnât drop dead over there...
And once retracted, the network of both worlds will completely shatter, enemies will surely seize this chance!
Without a network, huge power groups canât be sustained!
Malice from both worlds finally forced him into a corner at this moment.
[Arasaka Saburo: Li-san, itâs impossible for you to survive any longer, but Iâll give you a chance, if you choose to abandon everything and stay on the Arasaka Groupâs servers, I can spare your life.]
[Arasaka Saburo: I can also discreetly preserve your little girlfriendâs life, she could find a scenic place to spend the rest of her life...]
Lille shook his head:
[Lille: She is not my little girlfriend.]
Arasaka Saburo was visibly taken aback:
[Arasaka Saburo: ...On the verge of death, are you still trying to deceive yourself over such matters? Once youâre gone, sheâll develop feelings for someone else, theyâll touch each other, find mutual approval, form a family...]
[Arasaka Saburo: Sheâll forget about you, but if you surrender, she can spend some money like others and visit you periodically.]
[Arasaka Saburo: Surrender.]
Lilleâs brain is working at high speedâ
He knows he still has a choice.
He is trying to figure it out.
Arasaka Saburoâs brow furrowed slightly: Why... is he so calm?
Like a rock, stubborn with no flaw, no matter how much was said, Soul Killerâs progress remained so slowâeven slower than last time...
No...
Itâs getting slower!
[Lille: Old dog, you donât expect me to cry in front of you, begging her not to forget me, hoping sheâll mourn a lifetime for me or miss me for ten years, right?]
Arasaka Saburoâs puzzled emotions became increasingly strong!
Whatâs this person doing?
The technician beside him had a face of shock: "Master San Lang! Soul Killerâs efficiency is dropping, weâre about to lose him..."
"Calm down! What happened?"
In Cyberspace, Lilleâs data form began to distortâ
The Black Wall canât hold him because he is human, no matter how much hiding, no matter how calm the mood, emotions always exist.
Emotions are what the Black Wall avoids, what Soul Killer locks onto.
And emotions are what Lille is most familiar with: Evolution Heart makes him immune to technological emotional fluctuations, Negative Energy makes him increasingly sensitive to such things.
He is more sensitive to emotions than Soul Killer, he also has an extraordinary understanding of dangerous critical situationsâ
Munemasa once asked him: Why not undergo a more thorough transformation, abandoning the human thought model completely, wholeheartedly... embracing evolution?
Lille knows, now is that moment.
Now he must do it.
The thin data entity kept flashing in Cyberspace...
Replaced by that data blue, is a vivid red!
"He..."
With a splat!
The technicianâs tablet in hand began to flashâ
[Lille: You want me to surrender to you?]
In Cyberspace, Soul Killer acted like a vortex, continuously extracting data from Lilleâs entity:
No complex devices for Lille to use his imagination, hence data is monotonous without variation; no powerful computers to support, thus data entity is small and thin...
His data entity is his true form, a thin almost dissipating individual.
[Lille: You want me to surrender to you, a fool dreaming of controlling the world; a coward unchanged even after living for hundreds of years; a greedy corrupt scum, surrender to an old dog like you?]
Those white fading lines symbolizing learning are also the lines of attack software Soul Killer equipped with, binding his limbs like chains, suppressing him under the vortex unable to move.
But at this very moment, those white lines symbolizing learning are reducing, fading...
Along with it, the attack software mounted on this Soul Killer entity also failed!
[Lille: Youâre just another beast wearing human skin Iâve seen, have you ever seen a human surrender to a dog?]
His completely human-like body is gradually mechanizing, gradually turning vivid red, breaking free from Hacker programsâ lockâ
He tore apart the chains unable to bind him anymore, his body lightened, standing bit by bit under that terrifying vortex!
[Lille: Arasaka Saburoâ]
Lilleâs data image was completely covered by red Iron Armor, his eyes were completely masked by an iron plate visor, thoroughly cutting off Soul Killer!
Arasaka Saburo looked at Lilleâs eyes covered by the visor, an indescribable feeling reappeared in his heart:
The young Arasaka Saburo, when the Emperor of Japan was about to be defeated, developed a deep sense of powerlessnessâ
They once fought an advantageous invasion war, during which he commanded a group of brutal beasts, but ultimately, the beasts were burned by flamesâ
The flames consumed the beasts on the battlefield, also consumed the beast in the heart of the Imperial, tamed the Emperor of Japan, trapping him in despair...
The defeat forced him to ask himself such a question at heart:
Could there really be an enemy that never yields?!
"æ©ăéăă!ïŒQuickly shut it down)!"
Arasaka Saburo sternly commanded his subordinates, all links were thus severed!
Just what is Lille?
An AI able to escape Black Wall? A person resistant to Soul Killer?
Arasaka Saburo at this moment was completely chaotic, but he knew all of this must stop: because Lille now is an AI unable to escape Black Wall!
He will draw Black Wall to their network!
Bang!
The triggered Black Wall instantly locked onto this signal, the companyâs equipment suddenly underwent dramatic shiftsâ
The company suddenly found some of their devices were all aimed at Night Cityâs territory!
The fragile trust chain sometimes collapses due to certain reasons.
This detail is the outset.
