Chapter 178 About the Future 2

"Although I don't know why Cunningham developed this program at the time, it is indeed her work. It was also for this reason that Arasaka targeted Ultraman. Arasaka Saburo wanted to achieve immortality to a certain extent, and the result of the soul killer - the digital soul mark, just gave Arasaka Saburo hope. Therefore, Arasaka sent people to kidnap Cunningham, and then there were the two attacks on Arasaka Tower by Silver Hand."

"So this is the cause of everything, haha, these guys~" Victor sneered and shook his head after listening to Mo Wen's words.

"However, Xiao, if we want to start with Ott Cunningham, how can we contact her?"

"Well, to be honest, I have already contacted Ott~"

"It seems that the progress is not going well?" Victor looked at Mo Wen's somewhat tangled face and said: "What are Cunningham's conditions?"

Mo Wen nodded: "If she wants Ott to take action, she wants the sacred car. Strictly speaking, she wants the digital soul imprint in the sacred car."

"Why is that? That thing is very important?"

"How should I put it? This matter has both good and bad sides. On the positive side, it liberates the digital souls in the sacred car, but on the negative side, although the sacred car is a digital prison, it also protects those soul imprints in a sense. Once they are liberated, they will inevitably be swallowed or assimilated by the AI ​​behind the black wall, and may even be swallowed by Ott as soon as they come out. In fact, those soul imprints are useful to me, so we didn't reach a consensus at the beginning."

"Is there any good way?" Victor showed an expression of pity when he heard this.

"Old Victor, this is Night City, your kindness is misplaced!"

"I know, I just can't bear it."

"Think about it from another angle. The soul marks in the shrine are basically Arasaka's experimental subjects. Who knows where they came from and what modifications they have undergone? Even if you want to save them, it's impossible. You know, Arasaka won't be kind enough to preserve their bodies. When they are rescued, they will be swallowed by AI without bodies."

"Okay, I understand, kid, you have always had your own ideas. I think you can handle this matter. I am very confident in you."

"It's just that I can't make up my mind~" Mo Wen shook his head.

It seems that Victor has no ideas here, so let's talk about another thing next.

"Old Victor, what are you going to do next?"

"What?" The two topics before and after are too different, and Victor hasn't reacted to what this sentence means.

"After V's matter is over, my estimate is almost the same. We should leave Night City by then. What are you going to do then?"

The subtext in this sentence is very obvious: this time it will be a big fuss, and the identities of Mo Wen, Jack and V will definitely be exposed. The company's liquidation afterwards may implicate these familiar people.

Victor also understood what Mo Wen meant, but he still smiled: "What else can I do? By then, you will all leave Night City, and who will care about an old man like me?"

"You are wrong, old Victor. I said that this time it will be a big fuss. By then, all companies will be attracted by this time, and all relevant personnel will be investigated clearly. I will also show something that even companies will be jealous of, so you can forget about your peaceful days by then; besides, even if you will not be investigated because of us, for example, now, the pressure on you by Biotech is getting tighter and tighter. When you can't bear it, guess what will happen?"

Mo Wen has found threatening letters from Biotech forcing Victor to join the company in Victor's clinic more than once.

In the short term, I can still provide help to Victor, but after I leave Night City, the pressure from the company will increase until Victor can no longer bear it and is forced to join Biotech and be enslaved.

After listening to Mo Wen's words, Victor fell silent and turned away.

"Old Victor? What's wrong with you? Avoiding this question? This is not like you."

"Hey~ I know, Xiao, I have always known that it is impossible for me to resist the company alone, just like when I left the boxing ring, because I couldn't change the fact that boxing has become no longer pure, and has become a tool for companies and capital to make money, so I chose to leave my favorite ring," said Victor, turning around: "Xiao, now I still have no ability to change, I am old, no longer young and energetic, and not as powerful as you, I, an old man, can only hold on here, as long as I can~"

"But Old Victor, you can Choose to leave! Isn't it? Leaving Night City, Biotech is just the Night City branch forcing you, other places don't know you, naturally they won't bother you, can a branch of Biotech bother you across states? "

"But isn't this also escaping! That's how I left the boxing ring, and now I'm leaving Night City again? How do you know that this won't happen in other cities? Leaving is just a way to survive~"

"This time it's not escaping, Lao Wei, this time it's a strategic transfer!"

"Huh? Strategic transfer? What's your new word?" Hearing Mo Wen's words, Victor raised his eyebrows.

"This is not a new word, Lao Wei, it existed in the last century, but it was in the East, when the company hadn't developed to the current situation, and all aspects of the system were not mature. "

Then Mo Wen explained to Lao Wei in detail the meaning and origin of the term strategic transfer...

"I didn't expect there would be such a thing. I have to say that the power of Eastern culture is that it seems that all kinds of difficulties can't stump them."

"Of course!" Although it is not his hometown, Mo Wen is still very proud based on the similarity.

"But things are back to square one. I am old and can't run around with you. My body can't stand it. Moreover, I don't have the ability to fight with you."

Emm, it seems that Victor regards himself as a pioneer in resisting formal colonialism.

Although Mo Wen is indeed resisting the rule of the company and has taken various practical actions, Mo Wen knows that he is not such a high-profile existence. He resists the company just because he wants to do so.

Mo Wen is very clear about his position. At most, he is a warrior who rushes to the front. As for formulating rules and orders in the back, Mo Wen is not good at it and doesn't want to waste his brain...

"Lao Wei, I'm not telling you this to make you go to the front line or something like that~"
