Chapter 426: Fire
On the top floor of the towering Blue Tower, inside the luxurious Presidential Suite, the spacious lobby is dimly lit, and the floor-to-ceiling windows scattered around the suite reflect a faint silver glow.
At this time, everything is silent, except for a few crisp clinking glasses occasionally, accompanied by the swaying of liquid.
After a brief silence, the owner of the suite, Arasaka Yoritomu who was sitting on the sofa cushion, looked to the side with a solemn face.
Just to his right, as far as his eye could see, sat a boy with a relaxed expression.
He was holding a cold bottle of expensive liquor in his hand and unceremoniously poured himself a few glasses, with the occasional crisp clinking of glasses.
After a moment of silence, Arasaka Yoshinobu took the lead in interrupting the silence and said:
"Before I came here, I had imagined your appearance and appearance, and I had a preconceived idea of you as a mature and steady lone wolf, just like the Morgan black hand who has not been heard from yet, reliable and capable... But now it seems that the truth is very different from what I expected. ”
"Did I let you down?" Lin Mo asked with a chuckle.
Arasaka Lai Xuan shook his head and commented seriously:
"To be honest, I've seen Morgan's Black Hand a few times in the past, but the shock he brought me and the impression he brought me are still not as good as yours, I never thought that the rumored Ink Shadow would be so young, I did a lot of homework before arriving in Night City, and now it seems that it was done in vain."
For today's meeting, Arasaka Yoshinobu has also made a lot of preparations for this, and has long read all the intelligence materials about the ink shadow, and even all the video materials, which can be regarded as having enough understanding of this legendary figure who disappeared in the nuclear explosion.
Exquisite planning, resoluteness that is willing to spend a lot of money, and determination that will not give up until the goal is achieved... The legend's havoc in the Moore Tech Building made him very curious about Moying.
In addition, the former traitor who was planted by Kang Tao in the Arasaka company handed over the text chip to Arasaka Lai Xuan, and the content of "making the world forget fear" recorded in the chip also gave him sufficient motivation for this meeting.
Otherwise, as Arasaka Laixuan, he would not be able to risk losing his life to steal the [RELIC2.0] prototype chip.
"Then I'll leave now?" Lin Mo still has the same smile:
"Maybe I should dress up and disguise myself before meeting you, and change to a more mature face, so that it will be very beneficial to the communication between both of us, and you can trust me better."
"No, the youth shown under the fame is often more to be underestimated, your youth just proves your horror, and I am glad that you can meet me as I am." Arasaka Yoshinobu said sincerely:
"I see your sincerity, Mr. Lin."
"No, it's just the basis for the two of us to sit here and have a good conversation, it's not sincere, and if you were to say that, it would be too polite." Lin Mo smiled politely:
"If I want, I can walk to the elevator door, or even to the window, and greet you warmly through the glass window."
Arasaka Lai Xuan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but sketch a realistic picture in his mind according to Lin Mo's narration
- The boy of unknown origin stood on the balcony outside the floor-to-ceiling window, waving enthusiastically and greeting him through the glass window, but behind him was a void hundreds of meters high.
Thinking of this, Arasaka Lai Xuan couldn't help but shudder in his heart.
He didn't think it was a joke in a haunted scene like this, and the fact that the other party was able to tell this kind of behavior in a joke way might just prove that the other party had this level of strength.
"Let's stop talking about these trivial topics, then again, although we both know each other's identities, we haven't introduced ourselves properly." Lin Mo's face straightened, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curvature:
"Let's get acquainted again, Mr. Lai Xuan, my name is Lin Mo, I used to use the pseudonym Mo Ying, and I did a few trivial things, and now I am the younger brother of the chief technology officer of the Kangtao Night City branch, a friend of the big brother of the Tiger Claw Gang, a good buddy of the godfather of the Valentino Gang, the chief investor of the Mox Gang, a partner of the Night Company, and an important customer of the major middlemen in Night City..."
"However, none of the above identities are important, compared to so many identities, I am more concerned about Mr. Lai Xuan's attitude, I hope that after tonight's exchange, I can get another identity - a friend of the future heir of Arasaka Company."
Lai Xuan's brows furrowed slightly, he could hear that Lin Mo's words did not mean to show off, but were extremely sincere and relaxed.
As he said, the other party does not have any pride or complacency about these identities, even if any of these identities and names are brought out, it is enough for anyone not to underestimate them.
It's not so much about introducing yourself, it's about introducing your connections...
In a sense, this should be similar to "flexing muscles", before cooperating with each other and conspiring to do great things, first give out their own information, so that he can have an understanding of the situation of this Mr. Lin Mo...
After a brief thought, Lai Xuan quickly understood the meaning of Lin Mo's words, lowered his head and was silent for a while, and then asked in a deep voice:
"What help do you want from me? Are you going to do what I want to do? ”
Lin Mo pursed a mysterious smile on the corner of his mouth, and said leisurely:
"We may not be the same kind of people, but I am sure that Mr. Lai Xuan and I are the same people, and we do not conspire with each other, even if the two of us have different goals, but the road to be taken in the future is estimated to be the same."

"After all, isn't what you want to do, Mr. Lai Xuan, to dispel people's fears about the company and atone for the sins that Arasaka Company once committed?"
Hearing this, Arasaka Laixuan's palms subconsciously tightened, and he grabbed his pants slightly.
Lin Mo continued unhurriedly and said:
"More than 50 years have passed since the twenties, and the obsession in your heart is like a fire, burning to the present, it must be uncomfortable after so many years."
"People are sometimes like a fuel engine, either burning or cooling, I admire your perseverance for so many years, so I want to help you, Mr. Lai Xuan, so far, you have been staggering alone in confusion, but you don't know that your feet are already full of thorns, I believe you will break out one day, but I can't wait."
Facing Arasaka Lai Xuan's eyes, Lin Mo took the other party's serious expression into his eyes, and said word by word:
"What I want to do is the only thing, and what you want to do is the sand of the Ganges, instead of continuing to move forward in confusion, why not solve these things that I want to do and what I want to do at once?"
"With all that said, what exactly do you want to do?" Lai Xuan's face was slightly cold, his expression was calm and calm, and he was not introduced into his trap by Lin Mo's persuasive words.
Although he is indeed a little excited, until now he does not know the detailed plan of the other party, let alone what the other party is going to do, how can this make him feel at ease to put his ideals in the hands of the other party?
"Did you bring the RELIC prototype chip?" Lin Mo asked with a smile, his eyes suddenly moved to a corner of the suite, as if he could see through the thick floor, and saw the refrigerator hidden in the safe.
The same hotel, the same suite, there happens to be a plot in the game to steal the Relic chip, how can he not know where the chip is hidden?
However, noticing Lin Mo's eyes, Lai Xuan's expression changed slightly.
He instantly realized that from the moment the two sides met tonight, the initiative had always been in the hands of this young boy!
Now, even the location of Relic's storage is clear to him!
After sorting out his expression, Lai Xuan finally replied bluntly: "Brought it." ”
"That's good, so we can happily move on to the next stage of the conversation." Lin Mo slapped his palms lightly, as if he was celebrating something.
"Then, allow me to introduce you to one person, Mr. Lai Xuan, this suite is very large, you shouldn't mind having one more person come over as a guest, right?"
"Who's coming?" Lai Xuan asked.
"He's a representative of the Night Company, and if you mind, then I'll have to ask him to show up in another way." Lin Mo said with a smile.
As soon as the words fell, I saw a clear picture suddenly appear on the curtain hanging on the central wall of the suite.
A gentleman with blue eyes and a well-dressed gentleman appeared on the screen, and he looked at the two people on the sofa cushion with a friendly smile, and said hello:
"Hello, Mr. Arasaka Yoritobu, my name is Knight, you can also call me Mr. Blue Eyes"
