Players Invade Cyberpunk

Chapter 1178 - 382: Who Decides Good and Evil? (Part 2)

Purified water, then?After obtaining the technology license, this group of bastards tried every means to restrict Horizon Corporation’s water flow into various markets, then used their large size to forcefully burst into local water markets in an attempt to monopolize them.

They monopolize to set high prices for profit, not for charity.

Neural blockers shut out drugs, yet they can’t block all the Mewtwos. An increasing number of people, enticed by the more realistic immersion, abandon reality and starve to death on their beds.

Now, because of one casual remark by Lin Miao, there might again be a chance for the death of millions or even tens of millions of people.

And, precisely at this juncture...

When Lin Miao was furious, conflicted, and headache splitting over these matters, Blue Eyes made a move.

He presented a perfect solution, an answer that Lin Miao could hardly find a reason to reject.

Lucy’s fingers holding the files turned pale, she remained silent for a long time, having so much to say but unable to utter a single word.

Eventually, she just closed her eyes and said one sentence.

"This isn’t fair."

The whole world is plummeting toward the abyss, yet only one person tries to pull it back up. Instead of helping, those standing on the edge use a knife to desperately cut the rope, kicking and punching Lin Miao, eager for the world to fall faster.

"This world has never truly been fair."

If Blue Eyes didn’t exist, Lin Miao would do what he has to do regardless.

"With responsibility at hand, does fairness even matter? If we don’t do it, really no one else will."

But now Blue Eyes has thrown the choice into Lin Miao’s lap.

Choose or not choose.

A dire dilemma, an arduous situation...

An answer that could effortlessly solve all current problems.

For Lin Miao,

It’s akin to handing a seemingly hopeless Guts, watching his companions slaughtered by Angel Envoys, a button that could eliminate all Envoys and the Hand of God.

Just pressing it, all the Envoys, the Hand of God would perish. He could return with his comrades, heroically, to his homeland.

Lin Miao believed, just nodding his head...

Might spare millions, even billions of lives, allowing a direct one-touch solution.

The cost required for this, given the current plight, seems almost negligible.

Right now, there are many Night City Corporation branches requesting cooperation with Lin Miao for social public welfare construction...

For the first time, Lucy saw bewilderment on Lin Miao’s face; she heard Lin Miao’s voice.

"Lucy, if you were given a button, pressing it would make everyone in the world better, kind, no longer impulsive but willing to consult properly, not evade mistakes but honestly admit and correct them, not covet small gains, not selfish, but work together, reasonably distribute benefits...

Would you press it?"

Although a bit puzzled by why Lin Miao would ask this question, Lucy didn’t hesitate for even a fraction of a second.

"Of course, I would press it. Is there any need to think about it?"

"And them? Do you think they would press it?"

"Them?"

Lucy realized who Lin Miao was referring to.

She shook her head.

"How would I know, why don’t you go directly ask them?"

"If only the glamorous woman were here."

Brother Ni grumbled to Exchange Coupon as they swiftly moved through the sewer.

"This damned place, even with a map, you can’t find the way. It’s even harder to navigate than Chongqing’s roads."

Night City’s sewers are an intricate network, without setting a destination, an ordinary person couldn’t find their way around.

Brother Ni knows there is space beneath the bases of those Four-handed Divine Statues, but it’s not connected to the sewer, otherwise it would have been discovered by players long ago. He’s searched for a long time but hasn’t found a way in.

Exchange Coupon didn’t complain. His personal hideout is in the sewer anyway, so it’s no different for him; he’s more concerned about his findings.

"According to what you said, the statues are Ye Corporation’s project, with a mischievous lama AI, then there shouldn’t be a way into the sewer, why are we here? Why not just dismantle the statues and drill in?"

"It’s broad daylight now, with so many people on the streets, are you taking people for fools?"

Brother Ni was astonished by Exchange Coupon’s reckless thinking.

"Moreover, I’ve been squatting here for a month and a half, do you really think I’ve been sitting on the rooftop every day eating the western wind?

This path leads to the hideout I’ve prepared, you’ll see when we get there."

Exchange Coupon certainly knows Brother Ni has been on the rooftop for a long time.

"Hey, speaking of which, I remember you mentioned someone is chasing this task with you, where is he, why didn’t he come with you this time?"

Mentioning New Dynasty Elegance, Brother Ni was momentarily stunned.

"He... he’s investigating that elusive AI lama, not sure how it’s progressing; I haven’t asked. New Dynasty Elegance is somewhat enigmatic; talking to him feels intimidating."

Exchange Coupon didn’t pursue the matter of New Dynasty Elegance any further; after all, it is a special task he found first, so it naturally makes no sense to share information with him.

Still, his attitude toward this special task is one of persistently probing to the bitter end, just finding the truth will suffice.

He doesn’t care much about the things the cop concerns themselves with, as for how this matter concludes, it’ll be dealt with one step at a time.

"Brother Ni, I do feel if this brainwashing is true, then it’s too... bizarre."

Exchange Coupon couldn’t find the right words to explain.

"Before I came to you, I contacted a few people whose personalities had drastically changed. Sent them to ERO for a full-body checkup—no amnesia, no trace of memory alteration, clean firewall and software.
