Chapter 89 The Condition Worsens
What?
Chen Wenrui was stunned as he watched David kill an innocent mother.
How could David become like this... No, this is definitely not David's style.
Especially that mother was very similar to Gloria.
The only possibility is...
The subsequent conversation between David and Qiwei, Rebecca, and Falco confirmed Chen Wenrui's thoughts.
Obviously, there was no jammer installed at Arasaka, and the communication signal was very good.
But David said that it was stuck for a while and pretended that nothing happened.
But the comic fans who saw the plot just now knew that this was not nothing.
David is now almost the same as when Mann had cyber psychosis!
If it was switched to David's first-person perspective just now, it would definitely be like Mann's illness at the beginning, with a disordered picture in front of his eyes.
That's why David said that he was stuck for a while, thinking that the other party had installed a jammer.
And David's murder at Arasaka also alarmed the counterintelligence department of Arasaka, because the place where David killed Arasaka employees was mainly a laboratory that studied how to deal with military technology countermeasures.
And they began to suspect that this was related to the recent investigation of the case in which the original data in Tanaka's mind was deleted by a mysterious hacker, and the murderer of the hacker who investigated this case was killed one after another.
However, because the methods and styles of the two cases were very different, they still eliminated the suspicion that the perpetrators of the two cases were the same person.
But even so, they also keenly realized that although the two cases were independent, there were also clues that intersected with each other.
Then they directly chose to find the middleman related to military technology first.
Use the more "common" method of Night City.
In the holographic projection screen, photos and information of several well-known middlemen in Night City appeared.
And Faraday, the middleman David contacted, was among them.
"If you are not profit-driven and treacherous, you can't be a middleman in Night City."
The senior executive of the counterintelligence department of Arasaka Corporation said with a mocking smile, "But in the end, you are just a hyena licking the company's reward."
"We just need to remind them that the company is the master of this city. Only by being obedient can you survive."
The words are full of straightforward disdain and arrogance.
But...
Chen Wenrui and other comic fans know that she is right. In Night City, Arasaka Corporation and military technology are the masters of this city.
Anyone has to rely on them to survive. There is only one ending for disobedience - being attacked by the hyenas chasing the company's reward.
And Arasaka Corporation then directly used the usual method of Night City to remind David's middleman - Faraday.
That is to arrange an attack.
Faraday's car was suddenly attacked on the road, almost wanting to kill him. After sacrificing the lives of several loyal men, he finally got away successfully.
At the same time, he also realized that the attack that almost killed him was carried out by Arasaka Corporation.
In his conversation with the senior executives of Military Technology, the senior executives of Military Technology accused him of spending so many resources but failing to complete the task.
And a new word appeared in their conversation - "cyborg".
"Arasaka's security system is more stringent than usual, which proves how important Cyborg is to them."
Faraday said with a grim face.
But the senior executives of Military Technology didn't care so much, and directly said, if you don't produce more results, then our investment will end here.
This is obviously putting pressure on Faraday.
"Damn corporate bastard!"
Seeing the senior executives of Military Technology driving away, Faraday choked and cursed.
The last picture shows Faraday standing in the center of Night City, looking at the promotional posters of Arasaka Corporation on one side and the promotional posters of Military Technology on the other.
His four artificial eyes began to flash, and he had obviously started to act.
"End of this episode".
After watching the 29th episode, the plot of "Edgewalker" is as compact as ever.
This episode not only let the fans know that David's previous trembling of the prosthesis is indeed the same as Mann's original, showing symptoms of "cyber insanity".
And from the fact that he began to lose control of himself and directly killed two people, his "cyber insanity" has also reached a very serious level.
In addition, Arasaka Corporation also officially appeared and began to respond to David and Lucy.
Obviously, Arasaka Corporation, as the designated villain of "Edgewalker", is ready to fight head-on with David's protagonist group!
In addition, the name of the "cyborg" that appeared in the dialogue between Faraday and the senior military technology executives is also quite curious.
The name of this episode is also very interesting. The name of this episode, "Repeated Long Road", has a bit of the meaning of "repeating the same mistakes".
The most important thing is that this name corresponds to the "Long Road" episode when the eldest brother Mann fell ill.
It means that David is following the old path of the eldest brother Mann.
But fortunately, Chen Wenrui doesn't have to wait until next week to see the plot of "Edgewalker" Episode 30.
He can even finish watching the next episodes 31 and 32 in one go!
Chen Wenrui drank the hidden happy water in the teacup happily, then picked up the next magazine, opened it and read the Edgewalker that he had missed for the past month.
Faraday began to act, and everything was monitored and expected by Arasaka Corporation.
As for David and Lucy, in the middle of the night in Night City, Lucy woke up from her bed, only to find that David was missing.
David was sitting on the sofa in the hall with a dull face, watching the TV in front of him.
"David?"
Lucy came down and looked at the dazed David and asked.
David woke up from his dazed state, "Ah, sorry, did I wake you up?"
At this time, anyone could clearly see that David was definitely suffering from severe cyberpsychiatric symptoms.
"Can't sleep?"
Lucy asked.
"I don't know why, I just want to stay awake."
"Really?"
"I turned off the TV."
"Aren't you watching it?"
"I just turned it on casually..."
David's eyes were still dull, but at this moment, he saw the picture on the TV, "Oh?"
The TV showed an advertisement for moon tourism.
David said, "It only costs 250,000 to go to the moon, which is cheaper than I thought..."
This makes people sigh.
David actually still remembers Lucy's dream.
Lucy also smiled and said, "It's just going up."
"Yeah..."
"You still remember..."
Lucy smiled and said, "I'm going back to sleep."
"Okay, good night."
David still stared at the TV in front of him dully and said.
At this time, Lucy keenly noticed that David's left hand prosthesis was still shaking slightly as if it was uncontrollable...
