Chapter 448: Fame Moves the World
"News Channel 54, I'm Gillian Jordan. Sorry to interrupt the current program, there will be an urgent news break here. β
"At 20:23 tonight, Mr. Saburo Arasaka, the founder and helmsman of Arasaka Corporation, led a drone formation to secretly arrive on the top floor of the Kambi Building, where he met his son Arasaka Yorinobu."
"At this time, we don't know exactly what Saburo Arasaka and Yoritobu Arasaka talked about in the room, nor what happened in the suite, but ten minutes after Saburo Arasaka arrived at the Kambi Building, Mr. Arasaka Yoritobu claimed that his father was poisoned by unknown assailants in the suite."
"Regarding the death of Mr. Saburo Arasaka, the Night City Arasaka Company declares that it will use all means and at all costs to capture the real culprit behind the scenes."
"In addition, Arasaka Saburo's son, Arasaka Yoritobu, also believes that his father was murdered by the company's competitors, but Arasaka Yoritobu has not yet produced relevant evidence sufficient to confirm this view."
"Despite the fog, our reporters still did not give up, overcame difficulties, and found a secret scoop."
The news hostess of the TV station spread her hands and turned slightly sideways to signal the new picture that appeared next to her
Soon, the picture gradually zoomed in until it took up the entire screen, and it seemed that even the TV station understood the importance of this photo, so much so that the host was reduced to a foil at this time.
- It was a framed photo of Saburo Arasaka and Johnny Silverhand, and the text in the corner was even enlarged in close-up so that the audience could see the handwriting on it more clearly, and the TV station even thoughtfully produced a multilingual translation.
- "The resurrected Johnny Silver Hand visited here and accidentally trampled on Saburo Arasaka, so I take this as a souvenir. β
At this moment, people all over the world who are watching News Channel 54 have their eyes wide open and let out an exclamation:
"Damn..."
"I'll go..."
"Oh God.."
No matter how scribbled the handwriting on it was, everyone clearly remembered the name like a star's signature at this moment:
γJohnny Silver Handγ
This name has officially entered the eyes of everyone around the world with the spread of news.
And tonight, he's going to make a name for himself all over the world.
"As you can see, this suspect in the murderer, Johnny Ginhand, was not only arrogant enough to pose on the body of Mr. Saburo Arasaka, but also hand-wrote insulting text on the photo."
"The photo was sent anonymously to a reporter from our station by a mysterious person, who hopes to release the photo tonight."
"For the fact that there is still no peace after the death of Saburo Arasaka, the military science and technology side expressed great regret and declared that this matter has nothing to do with them."
"And this gangster who is suspected to be the real murderer, named Johnny Silverhand, according to the analysis and conclusion of professionals, this is a rock musician who was once more than 60 years ago, and once formed a band called 'Wu Shi', and his fame has also caused a sensation in the city, and the current well-known rock musician, the godfather of rock music - Kerry Olodeon, was also a member of the band."
The scene switches to an old photograph from nowhere, showing Johnny, Kerry, and the rest of the band singing loudly.
"During the Second Corporate War, Johnny Silverhand caused the horrific Arasaka Tower nuclear explosion in Night City, and was confirmed dead in that accident..."
"According to the analysis of criminal experts, the gangster is very likely to be a copycat, named Johnny Silverhand, and through previous video materials, his appearance and body shape were specially transformed into Johnny Silverhand himself, and then committed homicide activities as his identity."
"As you can see, this is an operation with an almost zero success rate, and we don't know how much persecution and torture this gangster named Johnny Silverhand has suffered before he chose to assassinate Mr. Saburo Arasaka."
"Please take a break, and then we will have a criminal psychology expert from the NCPD come over and analyze the personality and behavior patterns of Johnny Silver Hand for us."
"Please remember to pay attention to Channel 54, we will bring you the most cutting-edge news information."
As the screen cuts, the TV screen changes back to the original program.
"What do you think, our big star?" Lin Mo looked at Johnny on the side with a smile and teased, "You can be regarded as famous this time." β
Johnny shrugged his shoulders and said very lightly:
"It's a little surprising that this TV host can still say a few kind words for me, I just thought that she could only spray feces in her mouth."
"That's because the backroom behind News 54 is military technology," Regina explained, standing next to her, "As a hostile company, they are good at this matter." β
"No wonder." Johnny nodded knowingly.
The crows in the world are really generally black, and the so-called news media is just a dog under a large company, which comes out and barks a few times when needed.
It's no wonder that Lin Mo chose this company, with such a photo in hand, the people of News Channel 54 can't wait to watch a good show.
"What arrangements do you have next, if there is nothing important, I can continue to arrange follow-up work for you, or you can keep a low profile for a few days, there are pros and cons to being famous after all."
Lin Mo made a suggestion, and then he glanced at Regina who was sitting on the sofa, and continued through a private call:
[Although Arasaka Yorixuan is from our side, the most important thing for him now is to stabilize the internal situation of Arasaka Company, and before he completely takes power, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no high-level personnel of Arasaka who will investigate privately. γ
[Your body is honestly quite expensive, and there is no stock at present, in case you burp, although you can still keep the data, it will eventually affect the integrity of your memory, so according to me, don't go out and wave if you have nothing to do. γ
Johnny thought to himself for a while, and couldn't help but think that what Lin Mo said was indeed reasonable.
He had only come back for a few days, and he hadn't even recognized the streets and roads of the city yet, so he basically had to rely on Lin Mo's help for everything.
Besides, he's a "celebrity" now, and in Night City, he's always on the streets, and he's probably always on the lookout for someone to knock on the stick.
Although it is not in line with his character to keep a low profile, tonight is a big event and witnessing the death of Saburo Arasaka, he is in a good mood now, and by the way, even Lin Mo feels that it looks a lot more pleasing to the eye.
"Okay, I'll listen to other people's opinions once in a while." Johnny smiled magnanimously.
"It's just talking, as long as the emotional intelligence is not too low, a person can say it well, and I can only believe half of your words." Lin Mo said unceremoniously:
"For the sake of your safety, I helped you find a mercenary with strong professionalism as a bodyguard, and you can meet her later."
Johnny frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable inexplicably by Lin Mo's lecture, but finally said in a steady tone:
"Who's that guy?"
Before Lin Mo could reply, the three people in the room immediately heard the doorbell outside.
"Yo, she's coming."
