Chapter 385: The Second Rule for Mercenaries
[Regina: Burger King, I know you've tried your best, maybe you've done your best, but we all know that this time is not good. γ
[Regina: Nadia is a good person, she took the initiative to participate in the cyberpsychiatric research project and continued to work in the field to collect their data as soon as possible. γ
[Regina: As a result, she died, and so did her boyfriend.] γ
[Regina: We could have prevented the tragedy.] γ
No one can leave Night City except in a body bag.
Lille is not the type of person who repeatedly convinces others that living is everything, even if it might be true.
It's actually a philosophical question: if you were seen as different people, should you limit your present free will for the sake of others?
Even if Kaniek survived, he would no longer be a thriving mercenary or a trauma team employee.
His nerves were irreversibly damaged, just like any other cyberpsy Lille had ever seen, if not worse.
All that awaits him is a lifetime of inability to use high-powered prostheses and neural components.
If anything, yes, it's possible that Kang Tao or some big company will value his experience and try to get him back.
But the odds are slim to none.
Besides, now Kaniek just doesn't want to live, and using death to do a little revenge is already the last thing he can do.
The bullet completely damaged SΓ€nwistein's chip and ended Kaniek's life.
[V: I thought you were going to persuade him to live and throw him to Regina.] γ
[Jack: I'm for you, Mano, if you send him back, I don't know how much he'll break down when he sees the trauma team using him for the benefit of him again.] γ
[V: I'm also supporting, okay!] γ
In fact, at another time, Lille may do what V said, he can't say for sure.
After all, since he knew that Regina's special request was related to Kangtao, killing Kaniek would be tantamount to making Kangtao suffer.
Sending Kaniek over can also tell himself that this is to save him, and there is no psychological pressure, and he can make another profit from Kangtao-
But now Lille didn't choose to do that.
When they opened the door, V and Jack didn't react, and stood guard near the window very calmly.
But David was deep in thought.
To be precise, Kaniek was actually killed by Lille, and whether he was dead or alive was just a matter of Lille's words.
Why didn't Lille choose to save the life of this cyberpsychotic this time?
Kaniek, wrapped in the shroud, was taken away by two Kangtao employees, and the man in the suit who was in charge of leading the people got into the car, and before leaving, he said with an unkind look:
"It's said that you are the most professional, but now it seems that you are a garbage person, and you can't even keep a vegetative person.
Your money is gone, eat the! β
The windows went up, and the car drove away.
Angry that V is almost looking for Lille to get the cat again!
"This idiot is so arrogant! Who is he? I don't know that I think he is the CEO of Kangtao! β
"It's not the first time you've seen a company dog."
Kangtao is the company, and Kangtao employees are of course also company dogs.
In essence, it is no different from what Arasaka employees, military employees, etc., but the varieties are slightly different.
When you have an interest, you have the opportunity to communicate with them on an equal footing and get to know each other better.
When there is no benefit.
Everyone is a dog who works for money, but mercenaries are stray dogs at most, how can domestic dogs afford stray dogs?
Lille patted David standing in front of the door frame: "Good job this time, I have a batch of unused engines and modifications, don't you want to try the modified car?"
I'll give you an address, go get something, and fix your little van. β
David came back to his senses and asked a question instead: "Big brother, why. You chose to kill him? Shouldn't he be persuaded to live at such a time?
It's like saving other cyberpsychos. β
Lille thought for a moment and said, "Some people say that people are unfair from the moment they are born, but in fact, people come to this world with the same choice, without exception.
The birth of man is an insignificant coincidence in this world, and there is no right to any choice.
But the worst thing is not that we can't choose to be born, but that we can't choose how to die. β
If given a choice, most people want to close their eyes in satisfaction and leave this world without regrets.
Some people take this idea as their goal, fantasizing about dying in a reluctant and staring gaze
But the vast majority of people will fall on this path.
Died suddenly at the workplace, was killed by the jealousy of a colleague, was assassinated by a competitor, and was dealt with by the company because of failure
There are many ways for a company dog to die, and basically they die because of this, but there is certainly no company dog that wants to die like this.
Lille watched the black armored car leave with the body of Kaniek, which was no longer worth studying, and continued:
"The beginning of life is an accident, the beginning is written for you by someone else, you can't choose.
But death is the end of life, and if it is at the end, it can only be ended by someone else
Such a life is like a joke that is not funny, lame and humble.
Kaniek wanted to end up here in this way, and I helped him out.
Do you know why I never get angry with company dogs? Because 99.9% of company dogs end up with such a joke. β
"But mercenaries are only in it for money."
Lille shook his head: "I'm going to call you stupid if you think so, think about it again." β
David smiled awkwardly, said goodbye to Lille and got into his car.
Grabbing the steering wheel, he cheered himself up:
Yes, he's a mercenary, but it's not for money, it's just that money will allow him to send Lucy to the moon and get a better house for his mother.
Although I don't have any money this time, I can go and get a batch of modified car parts for my eldest brother.
No loss!
"Hey! David! Let's go have a drink! Mann, who was in front of him, poked his head out of the window.
"Okay!"
When the car started, David looked at Lucy in the co-pilot, and smiled: "Let's go together?" β
Lucy, on the other hand, seemed a little preoccupied, keeping an eye on Lille as he walked into the church.
"Yes. I happen to have something to say to you."
"Tell me when we get thereβhow much is left?"
"What I'm saying is important"
"Why does it matter to go to the moon? There should only be more than 40,000 left, right? β
"Where's your own ticket?!"
"You can save your money first."
"The second rule of the mercenary code: no one wants to die unexpectedly and end their life like a joke - think about the car, gun, prosthetic, family you want to buy. Everything you love.
So be cautious and cautious about everything, especially when it comes to receiving commissions. β
Jack poked and poked into the booklet to write this paragraph.
Lille happened to see this scene and said with a little surprise: "You have a pretty good ability to summarize. β
"Actually, I've had this idea for a long time, and as soon as you say that, I have the content." Jack proudly put the pamphlet away, "If it were me, I would never be a company dog!"
Now I can finally say this to my mother, it is reasonable, and she will definitely be convinced by me."
The summary is quite in place, and that's basically what it means.
V pursed her lips: she suddenly felt that writing such a book was indeed quite interesting, and it was very satisfying to pretend to be a force.
It's a pity that Jack has already written, she can't steal her brother's business, right?
When you want to write something and sign it, you can think about it.
"Sato-chan!" V pulled Lille over, "You'll sneak away on your own next time."
"No, sister, I really won't."
Lille shook his head resolutely.
The AI thing is not small, and it can be seen from the firepower on Woolley's body this time that David and they are okay to fight, if it is all up to them, it is estimated that there will be heavy casualties.
First of all, the priest's list was closed.
