In the theater in the heart of Night City, few people in this day and age are willing to sit still and enjoy musicals, Alan sits in a VIP private room, enjoying a musical called Corporate Wars, and Kiyoji Oda sits on his right.

The stage gradually opened and the first act began.

It was the Fourth Corporate War. Saburo Arasaka is dissatisfied with the progress of his son Kei Arasaka. He asks Kei to lead the Arasaka forces to defeat the enemy, and to prove that Yin himself is a qualified heir. Father Yan's approval and pride trumped anything for Jing, so he came up with a plan to blame the outbreak of the company's war on military technology. Sarah, the beloved adopted daughter of General Donald Lundy and a military technology agent, overhears a conversation between Arasaka's father and son. Sara believes that the only way to resolve the bloody conflict as soon as possible is to assassinate Kei. General Lundy comforted and encouraged his daughter.

Soon, a young man named Andrew arrives in Night City. He was an idealist and looked up to Saburo as an idol. Andrew dreams of finding the world's last living seagull, so he tries to smuggle in Asaka's boat. Arasaka's security guards spotted him, arrested him, and mocked him.

Meanwhile, Sara is preparing for an ambush on Kei. According to the original plan, the ship should have been inspected on the same day. Just as the target appeared and Sara was about to shoot, she and Andrew suddenly looked at each other. Time stopped, and between the flashes of light, young love sprouted. It took a while for Sara to come to her senses and shoot Kei Arasaka. She missed. Then, Andrew made a cross-handed move and blocked Kei with his own body. Agents of military technology had no choice but to flee the scene.

Jing noticed the infatuated gaze of the young lovers. He used the excuse of repaying the saving grace to set a trap for Sara by using Andrew as bait. He ordered his scientists to heal the young man's gunshot wound, but secretly packed a synthetic heart with a nuclear bomb in it. He officially included this grateful young man in the Arasaka Army. After learning the purpose of Andrew's smuggling, Jing succeeded in convincing him that military technology was responsible for the destruction of the marine ecosystem and the extinction of the seagulls.

"Oda, do you like to watch this kind of thing?"

"Average, but I'm interested in history."

"Many of the lessons of history have been made at great sacrifices. For example, if you eat, you can't eat some kind of poison, we seem to be used to it, it's very normal. However, this must have been known by how many people had eaten to death before. So I think that the first person to eat crabs is very admirable, who would dare to eat it if he is not a warrior? Crabs have been eaten, spiders must have been eaten, but they are not delicious, so future generations will not eat them, and we should thank them for people like this. ”

Oda smiled slightly; "Interesting, Alan."

The second act begins

After the mission fails, Sara returns to General Lundy. Based on the father-daughter relationship, the general forgave her, comforted her, and gave her a chance to make amends. He sent Sara to lead his troops to storm the Arasaka Tower, ending the nightmare war once and for all.

Sara and Andrew reminisce about that brief encounter and go to Cyberspace to find each other. They meet by chance in front of a virtual coral reef. At first, the unbridled passion that had just fallen in love overwhelmed the two, but they quickly realized that they could never be together with each other. Andrew's accusations of destroying the reef in the real world by accusing military technology in black and white make Sara realize that her lover has become a member of the Arasaka security forces.

The time has come for the two companies to prepare for a battle to the death. Andrew and Sara are saddened by their fruitless love. General Lundy feared that the soldiers would never return. Saburo reminds his son that he has only one chance to win his father's pride and respect. Kei thinks that he is not sure of winning, so he decides to blow up the Arasaka Tower and plant it for military technology, hoping to die in exchange for his father's love.

Sarah's troops enter the Arasaka Tower. The lovers meet on a fierce battlefield, but neither of them can bear to hurt the other. Jing tries to detonate the bomb in Andrew's heart, but the detonator fails. Jing turned to Sara and shot at Sara, killing her instantly. Andrew was heartbroken, causing the bomb in his body to be detonated. At the moment of the explosion, Andrew looked up at the sky and saw a seagull soaring overhead. The nuclear bomb destroys Arasaka Tower, the young man, the seagull, and his dreams.

At the end of the performance, it ended with an essay "Andrew's Elegy".

I dreamed of the endless sea,

Arasaka is in charge of the direction of the voyage,

But today, my dreams are illusory,

My mood plummeted.

I want my eyes to be blind,

Let the gray foam of the ocean cover it,

I can only see the black abyss now,

Metal heartache dripping blood.

The Arasaka company bought my soul,

In exchange for blood and mourning,

The power in my heart is dead forever,

A new company is born!

This is the end of the show.

"Poor Andrew, a fool who knows nothing about the world from beginning to end."

"Do you think so? Allen. Isn't it true that most people will regret the sad story with the lovers or hate the violent war between companies? ”

Instead of answering, Alan asked rhetorically, "Do you think the same way?" Is it the same as the average person? ”

"No, I think all the unfavorable situations in this world are caused by the incompetence of the people involved. Those who dare to take my place will not be spared, and in order not to be plundered, I can only devour others. Andrew is so weak......"

"Even if you turn into evil, do you not hesitate to do it?"

"There is no absolute good and evil in the world, only the strong and the weak who cannot distinguish the facts. Alan... Sometimes, the only way to save the other party is to give up something. ”

"Isn't it the weakling's way to give up?"

"Hehe.... You're such a debater, well, you won..."

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a different opinion, and thank you for inviting me to watch this show today."

"Hmm... You're welcome. ”

"Oda, I have a mission, do you want to come along?"

"Can you kill someone?"

"Yes."

"Then let's go, take my floating car, time waits for no one."

"No problem."

The two took the elevator to the floating garage.

Alan gently stroked the silver-white floating car and couldn't help but praise; "Yes, Oda, this is a holy sword. Didn't you see that you were so rich? ”

Oda knocked on the car door and said; "Do you like it, I'll give you one later?"

"That's what you said, it's a word."

"Where's the mission?"

"Taiping Chau. But first we're going to go to the Coronado farm in Santo Doyino. ”

"OK, fasten your seatbelts, it's time to go."
