Chapter 176 Pre-War Tension
After listening to V's thoughts, Mo Wen's eyes flashed red, and a message was sent out.
Jack drank the wine in the glass, slammed the glass heavily on the table, and said to V: "It's okay, brother, didn't we say that we will become legends together, no matter what happens, I will be with you!"
At the same time, Mo Wen also raised the wine in his hand, drank it in one breath, and also slammed it on the table, looking at V with deep eyes, and nodded solemnly.
"Thank you, Jack, Xiao, thank you, but this is too dangerous, and besides, Jack, you almost died last time, Mrs. Wells was very sad, you can't do such a dangerous thing now, and besides, you still have Misty waiting for you;
Xiao, you too, you are still so rich, and besides, you and Lucy are so good, if you get into trouble, what will happen to Lucy? She lives alone in Night City, are you at ease?"
Originally, Mo Wen planned to confess his identity as a ghost walker to V today, but now Mo Wen is a little unsure whether to do so.
Indeed, after revealing his identity, V's confidence will increase greatly, but it does not mean that V's concerns will be reduced. You have to know that in this world, no one knows the existence of his cheat except himself.
Even Lucy and Victor, who know Mo Wen the best, know that Mo Wen will not get into trouble, but they can't help but worry, let alone V who knows nothing.
"V, if you are worried about our safety, then you might as well think about it. Once you die in Arasaka Tower, whether you are caught or cooperate with Arasaka Hanako, another situation will occur, that is: you will also join the relic plan, Arasaka will extract your soul imprint and create a digital soul. At that time, we who exist in your memory will be seen, and we will not be safe at that time."
"After all, you can't bet that the company will have a conscience, and you can't bet that the company will not cause trouble for us."
"How could it be...!"
"Thinking about it, V, in fact, you have only one way to go, that is to fight with us to Arasaka Tower, either live together or die together!"
"If we win, we are all safe; if we lose, we will die together, and we can drag a few more people to take the blame."
"Let me think about it..."
After speaking, V finished the drink in the glass, stood up and said goodbye to Jack and Mo Wen.
After V left, Mo Wen looked at Jack again.
"Jack, are you ready?"
"What? You mean to fight Arasaka with V? No problem, anytime."
Hearing this, Mo Wen sighed, shook his head and said: "Not only that, Jack, after defeating Arasaka Tower, how do you arrange it, Mrs. Wells, Misty, and the Wild Wolf Bar, how do you arrange them?"
"Uh... This, I haven't thought about it yet, Xiao, what are you going to do?"
"Me? Speaking of which, I don't think I've told you yet, I'm from the Adecado family, after defeating Arasaka Tower, I will take away everything I can take away here, and then leave Night City with Lucy."
"What, you are a wanderer!!!"
"That's not the point, Jack! Now you should think about what to do."
"Will Arasaka be held accountable later?"
Mo Wen wants Thinking about the content of the deal between him and Arasaka Yoshinobu, he said, "It shouldn't happen. Arasaka shouldn't have the energy to pursue it by then, but other companies will also see you. At that time, there will be no less trouble, unless you become the king of the city."
"Ah?"
"Just like Rogge, the queen of the next life, do you understand?"
"It seems that there will be time to breathe by then, but it's okay. This is Heywood, and the company dare not go too far. I will talk to my mother and see whether to stay here or go to another city."
"Well, I know." Becoming a legend is what Jack has been seeking all his life, and it can also be said to be Jack's obsession. Mo Wen is willing to help his brother achieve it, but if Jack has not figured out how to face the things that come later, then Mo Wen can only kick Jack out of this operation.
During this conversation, Mo Wen has discovered that V is under great psychological pressure now, almost reaching the critical value of collapse, so the sooner it is resolved, the better.
On the other side, after receiving the news from Mo Wen, the leader of the Adecado family, Sol, has begun to mobilize and sent people to check whether the evacuation route is unobstructed.
Of course, Thor didn't tell everyone the details, he just told everyone that the family would leave Night City soon, and now they were waiting for Mo Wen to return to the family.
But Thor seemed to have other plans. He sent people to the city to inquire about the news in the past two days and contacted Lucy.
Mo Wen, who learned the news, called Thor.
"Mo Wen, what's the situation?"
"Thor, what do you want to do?"
"Mo Wen, don't get excited, we just want to help."
"Help? What help? Didn't I tell you where I need help? But what's going on now?"
"Mo Wen, relax, haha~ I told you a long time ago that you should be the leader of Adecado, but you refused because you thought it was troublesome." Sol smiled and said seriously: "Mo Wen, I know you have your plans, but you have forgotten the rules of our Adecado family. Let's talk about V first. He helped us Adecado, so he needs help now. We Adecado can't just ignore him... Then it's you, Mo Wen, do you still remember that you are a member of Adecado? You have made so many contributions to the family over the years. Now, it's time for us to share your burden. Don't forget that we are a family."
"Ahhh~ You, Sol! You, damn it!! Listen to Sol, I'm still planning now, because there are too many uncertainties now, so tell me what action you are going to take, okay? And, wait for me to give you the news before you take action!"
Hearing Sol's answer, Mo Wen is now quite crazy.
"Don't worry, Mo Wen, we won't cause you any trouble. I'll tell you when the time comes."
...
"Arasaka Yoshinobu? I have some bad news for you. Arasaka Saburo's consciousness has already contacted Arasaka Hanako. Of course, it may not only be Arasaka Hanako, but also some other company veterans. You have to hurry up."
"I know. I'm already making arrangements. I'm calling all those who oppose me to Night City under the pretext of holding a board meeting..."
It was a conversation, and it was obviously not the first time, but this time Mo Wen was a little nervous.
Maybe there were too many unstable factors this time?
But on V's side, Mo Wen created a new logical loop for him. He shouldn't do anything stupid in the short term, right?
