Chapter 105: Imagination
"I will pay you a lot of your reward. This is additional reward, just treat it as expedited money. I hope you can help me get this done as soon as possible."
As he finished speaking, Congressman Jefferson's prosthetic eye device flashed a blue light, and he transferred three thousand euros from his account to V.
"The deputy mayor election arranged by the city hall is about to start. I don't want anything to go wrong suddenly at this time, so I'd like to trouble you." Jefferson said.
"Okay, I'll accept this commission."
V's response was very concise and decisive. He and Jack had taken on many more dangerous tasks than this one. They were just investigating a stalker. What's the big deal?
"That's good. If anything happens, contact me as soon as possible. I'll wait for your good news."
After the two formally decided on the entrustment, Congressman Jefferson personally sent V out of Ye's company headquarters, but before V turned around and left, he asked Jefferson a question.
"Mr. Congressman, do you know about the kidnapping of Ms. Sandra Dorsett by scavengers in Watson District?"
V would not suspect that his memory was confused or that he recognized the wrong person because of his poor eyesight. After all, Jack also participated in the rescue of Sandra.
It's impossible for both V and Jack Wills to suffer from memory impairment!
"Sandra?"
Jefferson frowned, as if recalling some information, then he shook his head and said:
"V, you must have mistaken the person. Sandra has been working at Ye's Company for the past two years. She rests in the staff dormitory after get off work and has never gone out at all."
"She is a dedicated employee representative of our company. How could she go to Watson District and be kidnapped by a scavenger? It's absolutely nothing."
After Jefferson finished speaking, V and Johnny Silverhand both let out a surprised "I'm going!" sound in their hearts at the same time, and a feeling of numbness in their scalps arose spontaneously.
Because what Sandra and Jefferson said is completely inconsistent!
Sandra said that she had not been to Watson in the past year, but Jefferson said that Sandra had not left Ye's Company for two years. Who was right?
[Damn... V, I'm afraid the place you came to is not a mental hospital. The people here seem to have some brain problems! 】
Johnny Silverhand really wanted V to light up a cigarette and take a few puffs at this time, so that he could sort out his chaotic thoughts, but it was a pity that V hardly smoked.
[V, this is a bit troublesome, because there may not have been any agents or stalkers from beginning to end, it was all imagined by this guy. 】
When V was about to tell Johnny's guess to Congressman Jefferson, he discovered that there seemed to be a man in a suit observing him on the rooftop not far away.
The man's eyes were flashing blue.
Recalling what Victor told him earlier about Ye's company using AI to control employees and modify their memories, V felt more and more that he was getting infinitely closer to the truth of the matter!
"Mr. Congressman, please go back and have a good sleep. I will find out who is behind this as soon as possible."
V does not intend to explain his speculation to Jefferson for the time being, but plans to investigate the situation more to support his thoughts.
"Okay, see you next time."
After saying goodbye to Jefferson, V looked in the direction of the rooftop again, only to find that the mysterious blue-eyed man from before had disappeared, as if he had never appeared before.
[V, I advise you to stop interfering in this matter. You can't handle it. 】
Johnny Silver shook his head and sighed.
Arasaka Company used Relic chips to imprint human souls and used Kamikyo servers to imprison their consciousness. Now Ye Company uses AI to control the minds of employees and modify their memories arbitrarily.
Even if the company uses round-the-clock labor to restrain the bodies of the people at the bottom, now even their souls and thoughts must be controlled by them!
‘Johnny, since I have accepted this commission, I must find a way to tell Congressman Jefferson the truth. If a person can’t even control his own memory, what’s the difference between that and a puppet. ’
V suddenly realized that his previous assessment of the difficulty of this commissioned task seemed to be a little off.
If he wants to find out the truth and reveal the truth to the employees of Ye's Company, he may face greater resistance than the Relic chip theft in the Kanbi Building!
[Yes, but the company dog took the initiative to sell his body and soul to the company. If you tell them the truth, I can guarantee that they will continue to kneel down and lick the company. 】
After experiencing the Arasaka Tower incident, Johnny Silverhand is no longer the rebellious boy he used to be. Countless cold and cruel truths have already told him that personal efforts are useless in the face of the general trend.
What he exchanged for his blood, tears, and rock and roll spirit was nothing more than the whims of the general public. After time passed, everyone would continue to do whatever they were supposed to do, and everything would be business as usual.
‘No, I believe there is someone who can change all this. He will definitely have a way! ’V’s mind suddenly appeared with Li Ang’s appearance.
[Is it Li Ang? Oh, he may have a way, but there is no need for Li Ang to get involved. He has his own land in Watson, so why should he mess around with you? 】
‘Yes, Mr. Li Ang does not need to care about this matter, but I hope he knows what Ye’s Company is doing, because only he can make some changes. ’
V no longer had any unrealistic expectations for the outcome of this commission. The only thing he could do was to give the employees of Yeshi Company a chance.
A chance to get rid of AI control and free their souls.
[V, you are such a nosy guy. Forget it. Anyway, you and I both owe Leon a life. It’s better to have more debts than to have more debts. At most, we can just owe one more. ]
Johnny Silverhand cursed on the surface, but in his heart he still approved of V’s approach. Maybe he and V were the same kind of people.
[Just wait. Leon is still living happily in outer space. He finally saved his life. Can’t you just be quiet? ]
After the words fell, V and Johnny looked up at the sky at the same time. Unfortunately, the air quality in Night City was too poor. Here, they might not even be able to see the moon.
And in the low-Earth orbit 380,000 kilometers away from Night City, the beautiful Crystal Palace was like the fairy Chang’e in the myth, using her charm to attract wealthy people who spent a lot of money.
Aaron Guthrie, as Leon's travel guide, did his job very well.
Mann's team toured the lunar colony and enjoyed the services of various places in the Crystal Palace.
While Lucy and Rebecca were indulging in the joy of exploring the moon, and Mann, Falco and others were obsessed with the casino and the super dream experience, Leon had brought 2B to a box.
