Chapter 799: Display

At this moment, outside the Blue Bi Building, there was already a panic. The NCPD surrounded the entire continent, and not far away, the reporter responsible for the transfer broadcast was also anxious, facing the camera with a serious look.

"Just now, we received a tip-off that an attack occurred in the Blue Bi Building. Although the specific situation is not clear, there is news that the top floor suite where Arasaka Yoriaki, the eldest son of the Arasaka Group, is located was attacked. At present, the NCPD has broken into the Blue Bi Building, but the situation inside is still unclear..."

"Bang!!!"

However, before the reporter finished speaking, suddenly, the Blue Bi Building behind her suddenly made a violent sound, and all the glass and walls on the first floor burst. The reporter turned around and saw hundreds of NCPD police officers in police uniforms flying directly out of the building and falling heavily to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the police and reporters around were all shocked. At the same time, under the illumination of the searchlight, a figure in a robe walked out of the gate of the Ganbi Building. Naturally, the shining light of the searchlight shone on the figure. She was covered with a white robe from head to toe, and her face was completely invisible. Not only that, but what was more concerning was the corpse that looked like garbage in the hands of the white-robed girl.

What is that...?

Before everyone could react, the white-robed girl raised her hands, and everyone saw the three corpses in her hands suddenly fly up, then draw an arc, and stick on the flagpole in front of the gate of the Ganbi Building. The reporters also hurriedly moved the camera and looked at the corpses, and after seeing the faces clearly, they were immediately shocked.

"That's... Arasaka Yorinobu?"

"And Arasaka Saburo?"

"Adam Hammer?!!"

The reporters are all intelligence experts. Arasaka Saburo and Arasaka Yorinobu are both big names in the business world. Of course, they know each other. Adam Hammer is even a legend in Night City. However, now, their bodies are stuck on the flagpole like a piece of bacon waiting to be dried.

What's going on? What's going on?

"NCPD, put down your weapons and surrender immediately!"

The reporters were stunned, and the NCPD officers in front also raised their weapons, hiding behind the car and aiming at the girl in white robes. The pale searchlight fell from the sky and shone on the girl, stretching her shadow. From a distance, the girl's shadow was like an unknown monster shrouding the dark blue building, and it was even shaking constantly.

However, in the face of the NCPD's warning, the girl in white robes turned a deaf ear. She just raised her head and looked at everyone. Then, she spoke.

"Arasaka Saburo is dead."

The girl's voice was not loud. Logically speaking, in this noisy scene, her voice was no different from a whisper. But it appeared in everyone's ears, as if whispering directly in their hearts.

"Arasaka Yorinobu is dead."

"Adam Heavy Hammer is dead."

"…………………………"

Faced with the girl's words, there was a dead silence below, and everyone stared with wide eyes, not knowing what to say. Instinct told them that such a ridiculous thing could never happen. Because Arasaka Saburo is the chairman of the world's largest company, Arasaka Group, the emperor of this world, but reason told them that the body of the shriveled old man stuck on the flagpole and swaying in the wind was Arasaka Saburo.

This local emperor who once almost ruled the entire world has now become a corpse.

"Fire, fire!"

The sound of gunfire rang out, hundreds of guns fired at the same time, and the roar of gunfire enveloped everything. Smoke filled the air, and fragments were scattered. After a full five minutes, the continuous gunfire stopped. However, when the smoke cleared, everyone was surprised to see that the figure was still standing steadily at the main entrance of the Blue Bi Building, and even her robe was not torn at all.

"What on earth is this..."

People looked at each other in confusion, not knowing how to respond. The other party had no intention of fighting back, but their attacks had no effect at all?

Just when everyone was puzzled, the girl reached out and grabbed her robe, and then-thrown it away.

The next moment, everyone widened their eyes in surprise.

Under the illumination of the searchlight, the girl in front of them was wearing crimson armor, her platinum-colored hair exuded a halo-like brilliance, and her soft face was unimaginable. Beauty, clean, soft, and luxurious. That was not beauty in some instinctive sense, but an idealized human form. People in this world have different definitions of beauty and ugliness, but no one will not be moved by her beauty when they see her. It was not simply out of aesthetic considerations, but from the instinctive heart, the desire and praise of human beings for their most perfect goals.

White wings appeared from behind the girl, raised high, spread out, and radiated holy light. Under her gaze, people inexplicably felt ashamed and guilty. They lowered their heads in panic and covered their prosthetic bodies, as if they were an extremely ugly existence.

At this moment, D completely demonstrated the power of the original body of the Blood Angels, the same power as the Emperor and Sanguinius. The shock and brilliance that could not be described, she just stood there, you would instinctively recognize her existence, understand her existence, and confirm her existence.

No words needed, no affirmation needed, she was there and any human knew who she was and why she was here.

Some devout people had already knelt down, clasping their hands together, mumbling in disbelief, closing their eyes tightly, and shedding tears of shame. They believe that this is the coming of retribution. The sins in this city have become so deep that even God cannot bear to look directly at them. So what will happen next?

Will this city, along with its people, be destroyed by God's wrath like Sodom?

Even the NCPD was the same. Some police officers even threw away the weapons in their hands, as if it were a hot fire stick. They wiped their hands on their uniforms uneasily, and then lowered their heads. Whether that was out of shame or guilt, no one knows.

"This world has been entangled with too much evil, so I came here."

The girl walked slowly down. Her voice was still light, but it still echoed in everyone's ears.

"I will change everything, starting from this city. The sins and greed of capitalists have distorted the direction of human progress. They wantonly control everything in this world, and foolishly believe that the power of money is omnipotent. And now, I I will show up here to tell them that this is a completely wrong idea. Their foolish idea will not succeed, and now... this city will be ruled by me."

"——————!"

Everyone was in an uproar when they heard D's words. They whispered to each other in surprise, not expecting such an ending at all. The other party's meaning is very obvious, it can be said that it couldn't be clearer.

Is she going to become the ruler of this city?

"You can't do this!"

Suddenly, someone shouted.

"We are free, this city is free, no matter who you are, you can't...!"

However, his words ended there.

D just raised his head and glanced at him. The next moment, everyone - whether they were on the scene, watching remotely through live video, or even knew nothing about it, everyone felt an unparalleled fear suddenly appear, which seemed to even their There is a general fear that the city, their bodies, their souls and even their spirits will be destroyed.

At the same time, something even more unimaginable happened - everything around began to stop.

Cars stopped running, streetcars stopped on the tracks, everyone stopped moving. It wasn't a mental shock like the previous experience of witnessing an unimaginable existence, but it came from a physical level.

Their prosthetic bodies were stagnant, as if all functions were locked, and their bodies turned into robot-like existences, as if they had completely lost power and could only stand there blankly.

"free?"

D showed a hint of contemptuous ridicule.

"When you connect your mind to electronics, digitize your memory, and abandon your original body, you have lost your freedom. And now, you have only one choice."

As she spoke, D raised her hands, and everyone's eyes were like puppets on strings, following her movements blankly.

"To live or to perish, choose for yourself."

Then, the girl's voice sounded from their ears again.

How long does it take to conquer Night City?

D answered this question with his own personal experience.

one night.

When the sun emerged from the other side of the horizon again, she was already sitting on the highest floor of Arasaka Tower, looking at the city in front of her that seemed to have not changed at all - but in fact, this city had completely changed.

D asked Lumière to lock all systems, including prosthetics, neural devices, ICE, weapons, vehicles, everything was locked. It can only be opened with her permission, and last night, D got the first power to be loyal to her.

NCPD and Terrorist Mobile Team.

On the one hand, they succumbed to awe and fear of themselves, but on the other hand, they had no choice.

If they are unwilling to surrender, then they will become an out-of-control robot, unable to move or do anything, and then die alive.

They didn't know how this was done, but D had already shown the power to control their life and death at will, so they had no choice but to obey.

But this was just the beginning. Next, D connection issued several commands.

First of all, all company assets in Night City will be frozen, Arasaka assets will be completely taken over by Night City, and all company private armed forces will be disbanded. They will be reorganized and either join the NCPD or become the official army of Night City. As part of , any corporate armed forces are banned and all private armed equipment is recycled by Night City.

This decision naturally made those company representatives furious, but it was of no use. Whether they were in the comfortable boxes of nightclubs or in the warmth and comfort of their own homes, their bodies had been completely imprisoned, and all equipment and functions had been disabled. They were locked up, so they could only watch the orders being executed one after another.

However this is just the beginning.

Next, a purge of all senior company officials in Night City began.

In Night City, most of the company executives have bad asses and have done a lot of evil things. Of course, in the past, NCPD colluded with these guys, and even if their actions were disgusting enough, NCPD could cover it up directly.

But now it's different.

Those case files were taken out again, sorted, and cleared. All the instigators were caught and hanged on the street lights.

The most active in executing this order are naturally the police officers of NCPD. The reason why they joined NCPD is to protect the law and order of this city. In fact, many times they can only watch those criminals leave in front of them triumphantly, but they can't do anything.

But now it's different. They can directly rush into the homes of those bastards who are showing off their power, drag their immobile bodies out and stuff them into the police car, and then take them to the square to hang them on the street lights! !

The whole process was very smooth, without any resistance. Because only those who get D's permission can act, and others can only be like puppets, dumb and motionless. So no matter what bodyguards and helpers those executives had, it was useless. Ironically, those bodyguards and helpers were naturally implanted with a lot of prosthetics, so they were even more unable to move.

A large number of assets belonging to these executives and politicians were confiscated, houses were seized, and politicians, company executives, and those who participated in murders and various other evil deeds were punished as they should be.

At the same time, there was also a gun ban!

That's right, D ordered everyone to unconditionally hand in all the guns they owned, whether they were smart, powered, or technical, in short, all of them were confiscated. Except for the NCPD and the official army of Night City, no one was allowed to privately possess guns for any reason!

This order naturally aroused the disgust of many people, but they had no choice, because these guns were also locked and they could not use them at all. These guns in their hands are now no different from a firewood stick.

But unfortunately, D didn't care about their ideas.

Next, D made several plans for Night City, including reclaiming a large number of uninhabited houses in Night City and reconstructing them into apartment buildings. Some dilapidated houses will be destroyed for reconstruction, and she will recruit a large number of people to maintain the cleanliness of Night City. To be honest, D is fed up with the garbage bags that almost fill the corridors of the apartment buildings, the disgusting smell of corruption, and the graffiti on the walls.

All this requires a lot of manpower. Fortunately, there are indeed many unemployed vagrants in Night City who have lost their jobs. As long as they are willing, they can apply for these reconstruction and cleaning jobs. They will get food, wages and a small room to live in. Although it is not big, it can at least prevent them from wandering on the streets.

Of course, in addition to this, there is another big problem in Night City.

That is the gangs.

And D is negotiating with these gangs now.

"I have killed all the scavengers and the Vortex Gang."

Looking at the holographic projection in front of him, D said lightly.

"My request is very simple. Gangs are the biggest destabilizing factor in Night City and must be disbanded. The Animal Gang can do construction work, and the same goes for Valentino, Six Street Gang, and Voodoo Gang. You can do other, decent jobs. I know that many people in your gangs have to join because of life, so I will give you a chance now, get rid of those illegal and criminal activities, and do what normal humans should do. Instead of fighting every day for things like seizing territory or lending usury."

"Just based on your words, you want us to disband?"

The leader of the Six Street Gang on the opposite side was obviously not interested in this.

"Just kidding, I will never accept it---"

However, before he finished speaking, D snapped his fingers, and the next moment, accompanied by a scream, the man fell down with smoke coming out of his head.

"Then you die, and then find someone who is willing to accept it."

"……………Are you really going to do it so ruthlessly? D."

Wakako sighed.

"You don't really think that you can rule Night City with this. The power of the company is beyond your imagination, and Arasaka can easily destroy everything here."

"Arasaka is not worth mentioning."

D said lightly.

"Perhaps you haven't watched today's morning news? Then let's take a look."

As he spoke, D turned on the TV news, and soon saw a nervous host on the news channel.

"Good morning, everyone, now I will play a breaking news for you. At the Munich Information Security Conference held last night, a sensational news was disclosed. A source revealed that Arasaka Company, in the name of manufacturing soul chips, privately conducted artificial manufacturing and control experiments on cyberpsychosis. They implanted backdoors in chips and prostheses to control the bodies and minds of other people and transform them into puppets under their control. All organizations were shocked by the news. As soon as the stock market opened today, Arasaka's stock price fell by 15 percentage points. Governments have issued orders to seal up all Arasaka assets in the country and conduct strict inspections on them. At the same time, the United Nations is considering a new bill to control..."

"………………"

Everyone was stunned when they saw this news. In fact, if the changes in Night City last night were not too shocking, I am afraid they would be as shocked by this news as everyone else.

"Wait, is this how you control us?"

"Of course not. Arasaka's skills are simply incomparable to mine, and you have also seen that, as I said, when you give up your own body, you have already given up your own freedom and become someone else's. Slave. So don’t talk to me about freedom and power - it’s just ridiculous for a slave to say such things.”

"……………………"

Hearing D's taunt, everyone was speechless for a moment. As D said, they are basically a group of slaves, but they think they have freedom. But in fact, the company already controls everything about them, even their bodies.

"But this is not enough."

Wakako frowned.

"You should understand, D, Night City is sandwiched between the New United States and the Free State. The reason why we can maintain our independence is because of the existence of Arasaka. Without the existence of Arasaka and other companies, Night City will inevitably be annexed. . I’m afraid that the new American army is already on its way to Night City.”

"You don't need to worry about that."

Facing Wakako's words, D just raised his eyebrows.

"No one can shake my rule over Night City, neither the United States nor the New United States. And now, I just want you to give an answer - survival? Or destruction?"

"……………………"

Everyone looked at each other and then lowered their heads.

The answer is self-evident.
