"Wait, I need to take my thoughts." Lai Xuan raised his hand violently and waved it vigorously, stopping what Lin Mo and Knight might be saying next.

His eyes stared at Lin Mo, and from time to time he looked at Knight who appeared on the screen, and asked in disbelief:

"Mr. Lin, you said he was the representative of the Ye's company... But why did he come here, you and I know very well that tonight's conversation is very important, and we must not leak any information to outsiders! ”

The RELIC2.0 prototype chip is listed as a "top secret" research project within Arasaka, and at this stage, almost no one else in the world knows about the existence of this chip except for a few people.

Even if Lin Mo hadn't reminded him when he first contacted him, which led to him getting a lot of useful information from the project leader, Herman, he might not have known the huge value behind this chip.

After all, this chip is related to the "eternal life" of the old immortal, and if the news leaks out, Saburo Arasaka may come here at any time to retrieve the chip!

Lai Xuan knows very well how ruthless his father's methods will be, and this prototype chip is related to the foundation of Arasaka Company.

And Arasaka Company is the result of Arasaka Saburo's lifelong efforts, and he will never allow anyone to touch this bottom line.

Facing Lai Xuan, who was a little out of shape, Lin Mo smiled peacefully, waved his hand, and replied in a relaxed tone:

"Calm down, calm down, I know what you're worried about, but Knight is the same guy as us, he's absolutely reliable... He is also one of the participants and designees of our future plans. ”

"Plan?" Lai Xuan asked rhetorically:

"Mr. Lin, although I don't know why you know my pursuit and ideals, until now, I don't know what your specific plan is, just like you just said, there are indeed many things I want to do and want to do, but how can you help me solve everything at once?"

Lin Mo smiled wryly, still with an unhurried attitude.

He knew that since Lai Xuan himself couldn't wait to ask questions, it meant that the follow-up conversations between them would be much easier.

"There's plenty of time tonight, but since Mr. Lai Xuan can't wait, then I can't talk anymore, let's get straight to the point." Lin Mo said crisply:

"I just gave you a thorough explanation and introduced me to you, so now it's our guest's turn."

Following Lin Mo's instructions, Lai Xuan also looked at the curtain, and Knight on the screen was smiling at him and nodding politely.

"As you can see, Mr. Knight is the representative of the Night Clan, but he has two other layers of identity... First, he's an AI, and second, he's an incomplete personality consciousness of Night City's founder, Richard Knight. Lin Mo said briefly but forcefully.

"Wait!" Lai Xuan's eyeballs widened suddenly, and then he looked at the kind-faced blue-eyed Mr. on the screen in shock.

He couldn't imagine that this "gentleman" with an elegant and peaceful appearance could be an AI, let alone that the other party was actually the personality consciousness of the founder of Night City!

However, after he cleared his thoughts a little, he could not accept the reality and replied:

"It can't be! Night City founder Richard Knight died for murder long before the arrival of the 20th century, and at that time, there were still more than twenty years before the birth of the soul killer, and it is impossible for a person who has been dead for so long to still have memory marks! ”

"Mr. Lai Xuan, your judgment is not wrong." This time it was Knight on the screen who answered Lai Xuan.

At this time, he seemed to be sitting in an office, with his hands on the desk and folded in front of his chest, and he was on a video call with Lai Xuan through a layer of screens, and he clearly introduced himself:

"Mr. Richard unfortunately passed away, at that time the soul killer had not yet been born, and the technology of data consciousness had not yet appeared, so it was impossible for the real Mr. Richard to 'live until now' in this way."

"Regarding his deeds, Mr. Xuan should have heard of him, so I won't introduce them one by one."

However, while it is a shame that he was unable to lead Night City to the path he had planned, nor could he see the day when Night City became an ideal utopia, his legacy and vision continue to this day with the Night Company, a company founded by his widow.

"It is a great honor that I am an AI born from the legacy, ideals, and spirit of Mr. Richard, and that my specific style and related memories are also based on the impressions and memories of his widow, Lady Milian..."

"So what Lin Mo said just now is right, I'm just Mr. Richard's incomplete data consciousness, although I am his successor, but not his person, you can call me Mr. Knight, but it's better not to call me Richard, I can't stand his name."

Lai Xuan blinked in a daze, even though Knight had finished speaking, he still didn't recover from such a powerful news.

However, he also saw the "sincerity" of the representative of the Yeshi company.

The secret inside the Ye's company is so obscure that it is almost impossible for outsiders to know, and it is said by the other party without reservation, which is simply exposing his own underwear.

It seems that the other party is also determined to tie himself to the "thief ship".

As for the factor that the other party is "an AI, not a human", he also ignored the past for the time being.

As long as he is an ally who can help him pursue his ideals, regardless of whether he is an AI or not, now that he has stolen the chip and completely broken with Saburo Arasaka, he is not qualified to refuse the other party's goodwill with his hole cards.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Knight." Calming down, Lai Xuan bowed politely to Knight:

"If it weren't for you telling me personally, I would never have imagined that you would be Mr. Richard's successor... And it's also an AI, no wonder the Night Company can develop so well in Night City, which is surrounded by wolves, and there is no conflict with other companies so far. ”

Knight replied nonchalantly: "If it weren't for Lin Mo's recommendation, I wouldn't have believed that Mr. Lai Xuan, the second son of Arasaka Saburo, was willing to abandon his identity as Arasaka's heir and become an enemy of his father. ”

Seeing that the two were going to continue chatting, Lin Mo had to interject the topic in time:

"Since everyone knows each other thoroughly, then we are now grasshoppers on a rope, and it is my turn to talk about the follow-up cooperation matters and plans."

The huge suite suddenly fell into an eerie silence, and Lai Xuan and Knight almost unanimously controlled their voices, and each moved their eyes to the boy sitting alone on the sofa.

They all wanted too much to know what the plan in Lin Mo's mouth was.

Even Knight, who has been working with Lin Mo for a long time, has not yet known the details of the plan from his mouth.

Now, among the three of them, one is an AI, one is the heir of a large company, and the other is a legendary mercenary.

If it weren't for Lin Mo's intentional matchmaking, there would be absolutely no possibility for them to sit in the same house and communicate patiently.

And this plan is a good solution to the "troubles" of the three of them!

"First of all, this plan that I want to implement in the future cannot be achieved without the help of the two of you, which is why I called you here, and at the same time, this plan can also help the two of you to achieve your respective ideals."

"As for the name of this plan, I've thought a lot about it in the past, what Mewtwo Star, the Sun, the Fall of the Company chapter, etc... Whether it's a tall name or an easy-to-understand name, I've thought about it. ”

"But in the end, I still think it would be better to use a more 'rebellious' name, after all, our plan will definitely be known to the world in the future, and it also violates public order and good customs, and if it is 'rebellious', it will seem more harmonious."

"To sum up..."Lin Mo paused for a moment and showed an inexplicable smile:

"Our plan is called 'Burning City.'"
