D has been thinking about how to destroy the world.

Of course, this does not refer to physical destruction, in fact, even if D uses a nuclear bomb to blow the planet into wasteland or completely blow it to pieces, it will not destroy the world. On the contrary, his approach "fixes" the fact of "human destruction" in this world and concretizes it.

Therefore, the destruction of this world is not a physical destruction, so we need to consider this issue from another level.

D has been in this world for a month, and in this month, D has been busy collecting all kinds of information, and then found a problem——— this world is a very pure capitalist world, so to speak, this world has become like this because the multinational giants monopolize technology, money and even everything that human beings need. The governments that were supposed to run the country were almost always subservient to the financial oligarchy.

Night City is special because it is located between two political entities, the New America and the Free State, and is an independent city-state. The only reason it was able to become independent was that the city was completely controlled by capital, with Arasaka and military technology being the majority, and other companies fighting over the city.

In this case, the individual really cannot compete with the capital, which controls everything in the city.

In the ordinary world, it would be very difficult to overthrow such a system.

Luckily, however, this is a cyberpunk world.

A hellish place where people would go crazy stuffing all kinds of parts and chips into their bodies.

And it just so happens that all of these things need to be connected.

Then there is no problem.

After determining this, D and Lumiel discussed it overnight, and finally came up with a plan.

On the continent of Faerun, there is such a high magic called "Lost Lock", which is an enchantment that can envelop the entire city, and these enchantments have different effects, some of which are strictly forbidden for demons to enter, some can ensure that people in the city can fly at will, and some can maintain the stability of temperature and climate.

D wants to emulate this magic and create a chain-like electronic enchantment in Night City.

In this "lockdown", all electronic devices are disabled unless they are allowed to. This means that when this lockdown is activated, the entire Night City will be completely paralyzed. Even weapons are the same——— weapons in this world also have control functions, and they will be ineffective if they are invaded.

In this way, no matter what kind of equipment these companies have, it is meaningless. Whether it's float cars, fighter jets, tanks, missile launchers, drones, or all kinds of weapons, including pistols, shotguns, machine guns, etc., will turn into a pile of scrap metal.

Unless D nods, they simply don't work.

That's right, D intends to use this method to completely overthrow the domination of corporate capital over the city and even this world, and at that time, the original trajectory of this world will be interrupted, and humanity will move towards a new future......... This will obviously be what the mastermind behind the scenes does not want to see, so the other party will definitely make trouble for D.

And once he made a move......... Then it's up to him.

Of course, this is not an easy thing to do, so D does the task while circling around Night City. After all, it's almost like invading every screw in Night City and turning them into your own slaves. To be honest, if it weren't for Lumi El, D alone would obviously not have this ability——— although he is good at playing games, programming is beyond D's range of expertise.

Although D doesn't know anything about programming, luckily through Lumielle's explanation, D still has some understanding of the current state of the world's network.

Frankly, the environment of the network is more oppressive and complex than reality, and within the black wall, streaming AI is evolving in unimaginable ways. Outside the black wall, because the original network was destroyed, companies and big corporations created their own regional networks, and used this network to firmly control ordinary people.

For D, those wandering AIs are naturally to be killed, although he doesn't know how to program, and there is no way to enter the online world to fight. But it doesn't matter. Even if it is a streaming AI, they must have a server to store data, and it is impossible to exist in the online world out of thin air. As long as you find the server region where these streaming AIs are located, D can easily knock them out.

After all, physical disconnection is the big killer.

Of course, D also considered that maybe the flowing AI and fragment information behind the black wall were the killer of the mastermind behind the scenes. After all, without the defense of the black wall, those AI killers on the old network would be wreaking havoc like a flood, and for humans who are now almost integrated with the network, this kind of attack is enough to bring humanity to the brink of destruction——— or even complete extinction.

Maybe that's what the hell is behind it?

This is also the reason why D wants to seize Night City first, as long as he captures the company network, then he can also create the same powerful protection as the black wall, once the other party plans to use the AI behind the black wall to destroy humanity, then D can activate his own trump card defense attack.

Although there is now a cyber surveillance responsible for monitoring the black wall, D does not plan to cooperate with cyber surveillance, after all, who knows where it is. Maybe the black wall of network surveillance is just to release it at the most opportune time, and maybe this kind of guardian destroys what he guards, and the inquisitor can see too much.

"Anyway, why do you want me to partner with Lucy?"

After taking a sip of steaming coffee, D asked curiously again, after partnering with Lucy for half a month, D found that Lucy was indeed a bit of an interesting girl, but to be honest, D still couldn't figure out why Lumiel valued her.

"I feel like she's like me."

"She's not elegant at all."

D grinned and said, Lumiel all day long on her lips is "girls should be elegant", but Lucy is obviously not elegant, she belongs to the kind of "I smoke, drink and get tattoos, but I'm a good girl"......... Well, she's a good girl in this world.

"You know that's not what I'm talking about, Inquisitor."

There was a hint of helplessness in Lumiel's voice.

"I always felt that she was a little similar to me before, of course, not because she smoked and drank, but ......... Something deeper. ”

"Okay, I don't think I understand, but you have to be careful, it's interesting to be betrayed by her."

“…………………”

Hearing D's words, Lumiel fell silent. In Night City, betraying each other is almost commonplace, and even the closest companions will betray each other one day. D has also been betrayed by his commissioner or companion more than once, in fact, the previous mission can be regarded as Rogge Pit D. After all, with Rogge, an old Jianghu, it is impossible not to see that there is a problem with the task of the Vortex Gang, but she still didn't say anything and let D go.

If D dies, then he dies, and if D comes back alive, then nothing happened.

This world is like this, although Lucy is doing a good job now, but maybe one day, she will also be a trick in the mission.

Of course, D doesn't care about this, strong means that he can do whatever he wants, and no one is afraid.

In other words, if you don't die if you don't die, you can come, and see that I don't smash my head with a small fist.

“…………… I really didn't expect this world to become like this. ”

"What's so strange about capitalism turning people into ghosts. When the alienation of man by capital is completed, it is the time when capitalism is destroyed. ”

D pouted.

"Anyway, you remember what you're going to do, we're going to kill people and kill a lot of people, but don't say you can't do it. I have made it very clear to you that if you want to completely overthrow the rule of capital, you must set off a revolution, and a revolution without bloodshed and sacrifice is like a worthless street parade, and the corpses and heads of the capitalists are the bloody reality. ”

“…………… Rest assured, Your Excellency. ”

In the face of D's inquiry, Lumiel was silent for a moment before speaking.

"I won't let you down."

"I hope so."

D put down his coffee cup and stretched.

"Did you find any valuable clues?"

"Yes, according to intelligence, Arasaka Yorito, the eldest son of the chairman of the Arasaka Company, will come to Night City in the near future for an unknown purpose."

"Arasaka......... That's all they have left. ”

Hearing Rumiel's report, D narrowed his eyes, and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, as the oldest and largest multinational company in the world, Arasaka Company is D's ultimate goal. The so-called gun shoots the first bird, and if you want to kill the capitalists, of course, you start killing from the biggest and fattest one.

It's a pity that it wasn't Saburo Arasaka who came.

"When?"

"About a week later."

"What about the itinerary? Will he go to Arasaka Tower? ”

"It doesn't seem to be a sure thing yet."

"Good, keep monitoring."

Hearing this, D made a decision.

"When Arasaka Yorixuan comes, we'll find an opportunity to kill him......... Of course, it would be more symbolic if you could kill him on the Arasaka Tower. Anyway, he is also the heir of the Arasaka Group, if he can be hanged on a street lamp in front of everyone, then the Arasaka Group will definitely not sit idly by........."

"You're going to attack Arasaka Tower?"

"Of course, but I'm not as idiotic as the terrorist named Johnny Silverhand, and it makes no sense to do any kind of nuclear bombing."

At this, D snorted.

"Arasaka Tower is just a symbol, talent is the most important thing, and Johnny Silverhand, an idiot, is just an overdosed rock terrorist, who knows how to resist......... You have to rely on a professional for this thing. ”

"Professional?"

"That's right."

D stood up and stretched.

"Copying the homes of capitalists is a historical tradition for us."
