Chapter 396: Different Paths to the Same End
Is it another big news?
Hearing that Lin Mo confirmed his guess without the slightest concealment, Beichuan Hao's eyes also became deep and gloomy, and Lin Mo's determined and calm smile was reflected in the Tong Kong, and the surprise in his heart was not reduced by half.
"Please forgive me for my curiosity, Lin Jun, with your current status, power, power, fame, and even energy in the Night City Road, there is no one else in the whole world who can match you now, and even Rogge may not be able to compare with you, after all, you also have a sister who is a high-ranking Kangtao... Is there anything special about this vajra prosthesis that deserves your own dispatch?" Kitagawa was puzzled.
Lin Mo was drinking the fruit wine slowly, while his eyes glanced away, his appearance was very leisurely, compared to Kitagawa Hao's confused and serious attitude, he was like a teacher who was familiar with answers, and was being asked a difficult question by a student.
Feeling the cold liquor brewing in his mouth, Lin Mo could gradually feel that his heart had become cool and calm.
He coughed lightly a few times, and continued to answer Kitagawa Hiroshi's question with a smile:
"What I need is not a prosthetic body, but a thing that can make me active, haven't you noticed that almost everything I have participated in so far has been a follow-the-trend, although each event is not very related, but the final result is more or less within my expectations."
In the past, when he was still "weak", it was difficult for him to find his ideal development path, so he could only set a final goal, and then when he walked towards this goal, he walked unhurriedly and steadily improved his strength.
Because from the very beginning, he was confident that no matter what the process was, he would eventually reach his satisfactory ending with the simulator.
Now that the old identity has changed and the new identity has arrived, his way of doing things has not changed much.
The Arasaka Company incident was just an opportunity, an opportunity from Jack's side.
If Jack had been worried about other commissions such as "Prosthetic Mantis" and "Prosthetic Godzilla" instead of the "Prosthetic King Kong" commission, he would still have chosen to participate and intervene in the commission.
In other companies such as military technology, Moore technology, biotechnology, etc., Lin Mo still dared to kidnap the management of their company, and made a big fuss by the way.
Don't miss any opportunity, and then direct the development of events in the direction you want, planning everything is just a foreshadowing for the ultimate goal.
After Lin Mo woke up like this, Kitagawa Hao also lowered his head and began to recall everything Lin Mo had done.
To be honest, the two of them have not known each other for too long, and even the team established by Lin Mo has not been more than a year until now, and many things are not difficult in retrospect.
So, after pondering for a long time, Kitagawa Hiroshi suddenly raised his eyebrows, and the expression on his face was as if he had figured out a certain point to solve a math problem, and he became epiphany.
He muttered to himself, word by word:
"Lin Jun's previous goal was to form a team, make connections, improve his reputation and become a legend, and act as an ink shadow, but he also gave up this identity at a critical moment, but all the benefits of this identity were taken away."
"In the past, you didn't lack resources like money, so what you want to seek is resources other than money. And now you don't lack anything, you can turn Night City upside down with any hands, like in the past to break into the Moore Technology Building, Lin Jun still has to plan, but now as long as you want, even the Arasaka Tower can walk up!"
"So, what Lin Jun is looking for is definitely something outside the world, and it can't be any more "resources" like connections and fame, but something else?" Kitagawa Hao excitedly told his conjecture, and was pleasantly surprised that he seemed to be able to guess Lin Mo's thoughts.
You can't be wrong, what else is there in the City of Nights that Lin Jun can covet?
Even the most powerful representative in this city, the Arasaka Tower of the Arasaka Company Branch, with Lin Mo's current strength and energy, used the Tiger Claw Gang and Valentine
All the help of the Nuo Gang, Rogge's connections, etc., is enough for him to kill seven in and seven out of Arasaka Tower.
He wants to make big news, but what big news can compare to the excitement of "Dry through a company"?
Lin Jun didn't choose to do this, which only proves that the time is not ripe.
"Although there are still some flaws in your speculation, they are generally quite the same as my thinking." Lin Mo glanced at Beichuan Hao in surprise:
"I didn't expect you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to have such delicate thoughts... Yes, what do you think I'm looking for?"
Kitagawa Hao's smile froze, and his expression gradually became solemn, as if what Lin Mo threw out was not a question, but a bomb that exploded if he couldn't answer.
「... What Lin Jun wants, is it to become the sun?" He remembered the words that Lin Mo had said to him in the past.
First the ink shadow, then the sun, the former needs to hide himself, so as to gradually build momentum; The latter is no longer necessary to hide, just wait for the time to come.
And the ink shadow is a legend.... And what is the sun?
The name of the team is Genesis, does this have anything to do with the Sun?
The sun, as soon as you hear it, it is associated with words such as "fame" and "great achievements", is Lin Jun's purpose to become more famous? Or do you want to make everyone in your squad famous?
Lin Mo smiled and nodded, affirming Kitagawa Hao's answer.
"Forgive me for being stupid, I don't understand the meaning of the two words that Lin Jun said." Kitagawa Hiroshi's face was embarrassed.
It seemed that because of the wine, Lin Mo's demeanor was a little lazy, and he said nonchalantly:
"You don't need to understand too much, after all, everyone has everyone's understanding, for example, I am now carrying a knife and not caring about anything, and I am alone in the Arasaka Tower, shouting against the tyranny of the company while shouting that 2023 will be yesterday again! Then he went on a killing spree inside, walked out safely afterwards, and at night he was able to order a drink at the afterlife bar and appreciate his great achievements through the news... How can this kind of deed not be the sun in the eyes of outsiders?"
"Lin Jun is right, the eldest husband should be like this!" Kitagawa Hao nodded convincingly, just listening to Lin Mo's description, he was inexplicably a little excited in his heart.
Perhaps every person in the city has this fantasy of becoming a "living legend", becoming the strongest to bring the company to its knees, and then wandering the streets all day long dreaming of rebelling against the company.
It's just that for others, it's fantasy;
For Johnny Silverhand and others, it was a cause worth paying for with their lives;
For Lin Mo, this is a small thing that can be done if he wants to.
Lin Mo sighed and said meaningfully, "But I've already done this kind of thing, more than half a year ago, the Moore Science and Technology Building... There's also a real big guy, but not much has changed in Night City right now, and it's been enough time for the people to forget about it, and put it in the fringe industry, at most, it's just a talking point in everyone's mouth."
"My legend can leave an impression in people's minds, in fact, it is not as good as the 100 million cash that was spilled in front of the building..."He smiled disapprovingly, his smile contemptuous and frivolous:
"It's like something that happened in 2023, and now it's 2076, can you still remember that event?"
Kitagawa Hiroshi thought for a while and said uncertainly:
"Was it the fact that someone planted a nuclear bomb on Arasaka Tower, and then the nuclear bomb finally detonated?"
Except for this incident, there doesn't seem to be anything to mention in 2023, after all, it's all old, and the company war that broke out between Arasaka and military technology at that time is rarely remembered, but the nuclear explosion is more impressive.
Lin Mo nodded and asked, "Who is the main messenger of this matter?"
"It's said to be led by Johnny Silverhand."
Lin Mo couldn't hold back and laughed:
"He doesn't have the ability to lead a team... In fact, it was Rogge who led the team, but because he was the hottest rock star at the time, and he finished the last show
went to blow up the Arasaka Tower at the concert, and finally died there, and all kinds of factors combined to make him a "backstabber".
Now, after the intelligence attribute has been enhanced, Lin Mo can also recall more details about the plot in the game and the game setting set he has seen.
Although in the game for some reason, the protagonist V has seen Johnny's memories of Silverhand, and there is also a scene in the game where Silverhand Arasaka Tower kills all sides... But in fact, in the game, it can also be learned from Ultra's mouth that Johnny Silverhand's own memory is not accurate...
To put it simply, those memory fragments of his murder are all beautified and embellished by himself.
And in the plot of the game setting set, you can also intuitively find that in the squad that broke into the Arasaka Tower, the real main member is the combat mercenary led by Rogge, and the one who can really fight is a guy named Shayitona.
As for who this guy called Shayithanai is?
Naturally, it was the unlucky guy who operated the plane's machine gun in Johnny's silver-glorified memory.
This beautified memory is presented in the game, when the bombing tower team was about to airplane to land on the Arasaka Tower, because Sun Yitono himself was "unfortunately" hit by a stray bullet, he became the first member of the team to die, which caused the silver hand to have to "bear the pressure" and be manipulated by the player to kill all sides.
Therefore, now that he hears that Kitagawa Hao was misled by "rumors", Lin Mo also finds it quite interesting.
However, although the strength of Yinshou himself is not good, he at least has a heart that hates and hates the company, which is also the charm of Yinshou in Lin Mo's opinion.
In the final planning process, his presence is indispensable.
"So Miss Rogge is the real leader?" Kitagawa nodded thoughtfully.
"Look, the team that bombed the Arasaka Tower in the past is obviously the credit of so many people, and it is obviously a heroic deed that has severely damaged the prestige of the company, but in the end, it can be remembered, and there is only one nuclear explosion and one person..." Lin Mo smiled unexpectedly:
"So... It is difficult for the public to remember things that are too far away, and after a hundred years, only the company is still the same, but it is difficult to see a new "silver hand"... However, we must not ignore the value and potential of each individual."
Kitagawa Hao's face was a little more confused: "What does Lin Jun mean?"
"Silver Hand was a veteran before he became a rock singer, and later became a representative of the rebellion against the company for various reasons, and the other members of the tower bombing team also chose to participate in the operation for their own reasons, no matter what, they are all part of the theme of rebellion against the company." 林墨幽幽 says:
"In fact, everyone can become their own "silver hand"."
Even if it was V, it was because of a coincidence that he finally embarked on the ending of "turning my body into fire".
Of course, there are other different endings, but in any case, V's ability to become the strongest in Night City is more or less related to the proposition of "Rebellion Inc."
Night City's ordinary mercenaries, ordinary gang members... They plundered the company's property for profit, perhaps their subjective will was not pure, but their behavior was also related to the proposition of "rebelling against the company".
The means are different, the process is different, but the path is the same.
If it weren't for his interference, perhaps even David would have been on this path.
After thinking about it for a long time, considering that he had said so much, Lin Mo simply said his purpose in one breath:
"What I want to do is actually very simple, it is nothing more than to make the general public pay more attention to the theme of 'rebellion against the company', influence their thoughts and behaviors, and then dispel the fear that the company has taken root in their hearts, just like the sun gives power to all things."
Kitagawa Hao nodded: "I can understand what you mean Lin Jun, I didn't expect Lin Jun that you still have such an idea of Akagi and rebel against the company...... That's right, in this world where companies are in charge and ordinary people are working hard, only this mission is the unchanging proposition of this era."
He kind of "got it".
It turned out that everything Lin Jun did was to resist
Company?
However, the next moment, Lin Mo's answer once again rejected his opinion.
"No, you don't understand, for me, what a mission is... I don't have such lofty motives." Lin Mo smiled inexplicably:
"With my background and my living standard that is far better than ordinary people over the years, if I shout out the proposition of rebelling against the company, no one will believe these words, because from the standpoint, it is untenable, after all, I am a rich young master, and I am the vested interest of the company..."
"I don't have much hatred for the company, and if you up as being born to rebel against the company, this matter will not stand up to scrutiny, and there may be someone else who is more suitable for this kind of evaluation than me."
"Who?" Hiroshi Kitagawa asked.
Lin Mo smiled, didn't reply positively, just said:
"Most of what I do is for my own benefit, and a small part of it is done by my heart, just because I want to do it, just like all living beings, my mind is not pure, but it is still the same sentence - the process may be different, but the path is the same."
Are they on the same path?
It's just because the company is in power and ordinary people work hard is the proposition of this era, so what Lin Jun has done so far is inevitably related to the "rebellion against the company"?
[In view of the general environment,
Beichuan Hao was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed faintly.
He thought that he could almost figure out Lin Jun's thoughts, but now it seems that it is still far from enough.
"So Lin Jun, what do you want to do?"
"Now... Naturally, they have done a good job of the matter at hand, and the Arasaka Company will not give up so easily in the matter of the prosthetic King Kong, and if they have a move at that time, they will beat them up first."
"Well, I see, different paths are the same!" Hiroshi Kitagawa said seriously.
The corners of Lin Mo's mouth twitched, he glanced at Beichuan Hao, and said helplessly, "How do we feel that you have been fooled."
"Different paths to the same end!" Hiroshi Kitagawa repeated with a serious face.
"Damn, are you a repeater?"
