Looking at the avatar on the caller ID, Lin Mo suddenly knew who the caller was.

"I'm on the phone, I'll avoid it for the time being, and you guys will talk slowly." He gave a word to V, Regina, and Johnny standing next to him, and then one silently walked into a room, leaving only the remaining three to look at each other.

Walking into the room, opening the glass window to let in the air, Lin Mo answered the phone while looking at the cityscape under the building.

[Lin Mo, I'm Lai Xuan]

The caller introduces himself straight to the point.

[Well, I saw that your caller avatar was a steel dragon logo, and I remember calling you before. Lin Mo put his hands on the windowsill, the cold wind outside blew his cheeks, and he looked very relaxed.

This is the first time Lai Xuan has called him.

Only then did he recall a joke on the game's forums as if he had a burst of inspiration:

"In the entire Night City, only Arasaka Yoshinobu doesn't know V's phone."

Now, Lai Xuan's phone call took the initiative to call him.

[Well, I won't talk nonsense anymore, I just want to say a few things when I call you this time. Lai Xuan's tone was unusually serious.

[What's the matter?] Lin Mo asked.

[My father... The old immortal is dead, and according to the succession process of the company, I am sure that within a few days, I will be able to convince the board of directors to make me the CEO of the company, and then the whole company will be under my control, and our cooperation plan will go smoothly. Lai Xuan carefully introduced the current situation.

Lin Mo nodded and replied calmly: [Well, I see. 】

He was not surprised that "Arasaka Yorixuan was able to control the internal situation of Arasaka Company in just a few days".

Arasaka Yorinobu, who has been preparing for this day for decades, has absolutely no doubt about his human ability.

And there is no doubt that he will be able to suppress the internal turmoil of the company as the original plot of the game, and take the execution of the company into his own hands.

Even the other heir of the Arasaka Company, Lai Xuan's sister - Arasaka Huazi, she has no way to stop Lai Xuan's erosion of the company's power.

So much so that at one of the endings of the game, if it weren't for Huazi with the help of the protagonist V, she would not have succeeded in defeating Lai Xuan on the board of directors.

It is even possible that this behavior of "confronting his brother" completely angered Lai Xuan, causing Lai Xuan to no longer cherish the family affection in his heart, and finally made up his mind to dispose of Huazi.

I just don't know what Lai Xuan plans to do with his sister at this stage?

Lin Mo patiently listened to his next words.

[Although the current situation is all going in a good direction, but unfortunately, I don't have the energy to take care of other things now, you asked me to take care of my father's bodyguard, and listed him as an accomplice in the murder of my father... I was going to do that, but he ran away. Lai Xuan said apologetically.

[You mean Goro Takemura, he escaped? Lin Mo asked rhetorically, but his tone was not much surprised.

Goro Takemura's strength has always been a mystery in the game, but he can become Saburo Arasaka's personal bodyguard, and his own strength is certainly not much lower.

Once this kind of person becomes suspicious, unless he disarms him as soon as possible, he will basically not be able to trap, and if he is also burdened with the black pot of "murdering San Lang", he will definitely prefer to die unyieldingly.

He ran away now, but it was more in line with Lin Mo's heart.

After all, it still came to the step of "opposite"...

Lai Xuan continued:

[Yes, but don't worry, his escape now only confirms his weakness, now that he has been put on the company's list of rebellious pursuits, I have already initiated the relevant procedures and stopped his prosthetic equipment, and it is impossible for him to pose any threat to our cooperation. 】

Lin Mo retorted with a smile:

[A toothless tiger, but still has a body that small prey can't match, he is now turning from light to dark, and he will definitely do everything possible to wash away his grievances and avenge his master. 】

He couldn't have done it. Lai Xuan said categorically.

yes, there's really no way he can do it.

Lin Mo shook his head and sighed, he couldn't help but feel a little pity for this warrior who was on the end of his journey, and also felt a little sorry for his ending.

Without the help of nobles, the final outcome of this samurai is probably that he must live a life of exile and home in the rest of his life.

It's a pity that such a wonderful person, his character and personal strength are the best choice, but from his own standpoint, he still stood on the wrong team and chose the wrong person after all.

[It is impossible for him to do it, but he can ask for help from everyone who can help" Lin Mo said flatly.

[Are you talking about Huazi? Lai Xuan was keenly aware of who Lin Mo was talking about.

[That's right, your sister, Arasaka Kako, is also one of Arasaka's heirs, and as far as I know, your sister is not as rebellious as you, but she loves your father very much. Lin Mo said meaningfully.

Lai Xuan was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about Lin Mo's statement.

It wasn't until a long time later that he said in a slightly harsh tone:

[Hanako, she has helped me many times in the past, and I was able to escape from Kyoto, and thanks to her, now that old immortal is no longer there, she will probably not disobey my decision... After all, I'm the closest relative she's to now. 】

[Heh, don't talk about me in this sentence, even you yourself may not believe it. Lin Mo sneered mercilessly:

[Maybe she did help you many times, but I guess it's mostly because she wants to ease the conflict between you and Saburo, she takes the place of your mother, and tries to maintain the family's feelings... Now that Saburo is dead and the family has collapsed, do you think she will still be immersed in the fantasy of family harmony? 】

He understood Lai Xuan's mood at this time, after all, from Lai Xuan's point of view, this family was destined to be sad.

The father who can be called the villain in the world, the mother who is gentle but died early, and the eldest brother who inherited his father's will but died early... Even in the end, his sister, the only sister who could pinn his family affection, still chose to stand on his father's side and help his father "borrow his body to come back to life".

Instead of letting the two brothers and sisters go further and further away because of contradictions, it is better to let themselves be this wicked person and urge Lai Xuan to make a decision as soon as possible.

In this way, Lai Xuan can feel better somewhat.

People always have to find some excuses for the guilt in their hearts, after all, from Lai Xuan's point of view, he was forced by Lin Mo to act.

is like a faint monarch in history, who always needs some traitors to be his companions to show that their foolishness is caused by the bewitchment of traitors.

[But she doesn't have a choice, besides me, who else can she support now? ] As long as she doesn't get in my way, I can keep her safe. Lai Xuan's tone was slightly raised.

[She is an adult, not a follower who walks behind you, who she wants to support is all up to her own heart, don't you know yourself, how many people like you are in the world, do you think Huazi She can understand what you do? Lin Mo's tone gradually became cold:

I'll let her understand. Lai Xuan said.

Lin Mo sighed.

It is estimated that the current favorable situation has temporarily blinded Arasaka Yoritoku, causing him to think that he can ignore the possibility of Arasaka Kako confronting him.

This is not surprising, though.

The Arasaka Board of Directors has always been the Word Hall of Saburo Arasaka, and he rules with "fear".

Now that the embodiment of fear is dead, it's only natural that these board members would prefer to choose Lai Xuan as CEO over that intimidating old thing.

If Arasaka Huazi just used a normal way to confront Lai Xuan, then she would have only one ending in the end, and that was to usher in his brother's ruthless reckoning.

Wyverns are all TM riding faces, how can this lose?

However, no one could have expected that Arasaka Huazi still had the only killer weapon in his hands that could fight Lai Xuan, and that was a chip loaded with the personality consciousness data of his father, Arasaka Saburo.

Not only did his father communicate with her in the form of a "data personality," he offered a plan, but he was also able to intimidate all board members at the last minute.

Seeing that Lai Xuan still looked confident, Lin Mo couldn't help but sigh:

I really don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin...

But this is also true, now with his help, the success rate of Lai Xuan's rebellion is very safe no matter how you look at it.

After all, in the game, if it weren't for Arasaka Hanako insisting on choosing to fight against Lai Xuan, she would indeed be able to live in peace and stability, instead of being liquidated by Lai Xuan's final ruthlessness.

But in the failed outcome of the reform, Lai Xuan died in the arms of his sister.

Now, Lin Mo must stifle all uncertainties in advance.

It seems that Lai Xuan must be made to recognize the facts.

[Don't expect your sister's understanding, have you really understood her?] She was educated by your father since she was a child, and you are an outsider compared to the two of them... And most importantly, do you know what Hanako Arasaka is hiding from you? Lin Mo's expression was solemn.

Lai Xuan on the other end of the phone was slightly stunned, and immediately thought about various possibilities in his mind.

[Are you trying to say... What did my father leave her? Lai Xuan guessed with a little uneasiness.

Since his father's relationship with his sister is mentioned, if Huazi has any secrets to hide from him, then it can only be the intention of Saburo's old immortal.

[I didn't expect you to wake up too late. Lin Mo was a little surprised.

[Are you 100% sure about this?] And, why do you know about it? Lai Xuan was very confused and puzzled.

Because I used to be a gamer... Lin Mo complained secretly.

These things are clearly written in the game's plot, and he's just a plot porter

Moreover, with his current intelligence attributes, as long as he is willing to calm down and think about it, then he can still recall many details in the game.

[Just as I knew about your ideals before, I have my own relevant intelligence channels. Lin Mo prevaricated casually.

Lai Xuan was silent for a moment.

He didn't know if he should believe Lin Mo's family's words.

But Lin Mo's previous performances have proven the credibility of his intelligence.

After a long time, I don't know how much ideological struggle Lai Xuan has done, Lin Mo even heard his sigh from the phone, and then heard his inquiry:

[Tell me about it, what is she hiding from me, Huazi. 】

Lin Mo smiled, leisurely looking out the window at the night scene of the city gradually calmed down, and those futile Ncpd and Arasaka guards began to gradually shrink the scope of the search.

He took one last look at the city, which was about to return from bustle to silence, and finally found a random chair in the room and sat down:

[This question is actually quite simple... Think about it, how did Johnny's silver hand, who is now alive and kicking you to carry the black pot, come from? 】

Arasaka Lai Xuan suddenly became excited, and the whole person seemed to be shocked, and his tone began to become uncontrollably excited:

[My father... That old man is not dead, he is not dead yet? 】

[Strictly speaking, he is indeed dead, but from another point of view, he is indeed alive, and his existence form is the same as Johnny's silver hand, but he does not yet have a body that can move. Lin Mo said.

Lai Xuan immediately shouted excitedly:

[Damn old thing, Baga Ya Road, I guessed it would be like this!] He must have backed up his data awareness ahead of time! 】

[Not only that, one of the major functions of the Relic2.0 chip is actually to "borrow the body to return the soul", but this function requires a prerequisite, that is, you must find a qualified and near-death body... As Saburo's son, you fit the bill perfectly. Lin Mo made up for it with a calm face.

As soon as these words came out, Lin Mo soon heard the other end of the phone suddenly quiet, and only the sound of rapid breathing was still faint.

I don't know how long it took, just when Lin Mo wondered if Lai Xuan was being angry, Lai Xuan's extremely depressed voice came from the other end of the phone:

【Huazi... Is she planning to sacrifice me and resurrect Saburo? 】

[Sacrifice, heh, this word is a good word, and as for this question, you should ask her, not me. Lin Mo said.

[Huazi, she is still in Kyoto, but Saburo's body is here, and she must come here for the funeral in a few days, only at that time is their only chance. Lai Xuan calmly analyzed.

[So you're going to squat in advance? Lin Mo asked with interest.

If she's exactly what you say, then that's all I can do. Lai Xuan said coldly.

Lin Mo nodded, and then gave another clue:

[Night City Arasaka Tower should still have Saburo's office, right? 】

[Yes, it's modeled after the 1:1 scale of the old office in Kyoto, I've never been there.] Lai Xuan said.

[Take a look when you have time, I remember that there is a secret door on the wall next to the desk, there is a hidden elevator there, and after you find it, you should be able to find the answer you want by the way. Lin Mo said.

He still remembers that in the game's plot, Hanako Arasaka also took the protagonist V to the secret room in Saburo's office.

It was there that Huazi officially summoned Saburo's data personality.

Lai Xuan pondered for a long time, and finally said:

[I will.] 】

[Then let's talk about it here tonight.] Lin Mo shook his head and hung up the phone without hesitation.

He has provided Lai Xuan with enough information, and most of it is extremely secretive.

It's best to leave it to the other person to digest the information slowly.

He walked out of the room and into the living room, where he saw Johnny sitting on the couch watching TV.

Regina, on the other hand, is nowhere to be found.

"Yo, our busy man has finally finished calling... Are you chatting with a little beauty? Seeing Lin Mo coming out of it, Johnny immediately screamed.

"It was Lai Xuan's call, and he said that the situation in Arasaka's company would stabilize in a few days." Lin Mo replied casually, his gaze wandering in the living room:

"What about the two of them?"

"One is out to receive clients, and the other is in the room researching what should be the right place for me in the next few days." Johnny said nonchalantly.

"Oh? V is still trying to take you out for a walk? Isn't it time to stay at home and avoid the limelight? Lin Mo said with a smile.

"Hehe, she has been a bodyguard for a few days in total, if I stay at home all the time, will she, the bodyguard, keep squatting in the pit and?" Johnny scoffed:

"We've got it settled, and I'll need to get acquainted with Night City over the next few days, and she'll pick the location."

"Then I wish you a smooth journey." Lin Mo blessed him kindly.

Despite this blessing, Johnny still has black lines all over his head

——Being uncomfortable by Lin Mo's "thorns in his words" so many times in a row, he almost mistakenly thought that Lin Mo's words were behind his back to curse him all the way to heaven.

"you." Johnny finally bravely gave Lin Mo a middle finger.

However, just as he was thinking about how Lin Mo should "fight back" next, he found that this little ghost didn't seem to see his middle finger, but stood there stunned.

"Which little beauty has called?" Johnny asked mockingly.

Lin Mo ignored him, but quietly looked at an email that appeared in front of him.

When I opened it, it was Lai Xuan:

[Three days later, Arasaka Ta will see that Hanako will appear on that day.] 】

Lin Mo smiled and replied:

[Received.] 】
