Chapter 151 The Mayoral Election Begins

"Pilot, the incident you asked me to pay attention to has already happened."

Mann pushed open the door of the studio and walked in. Ling Lu was holding a tool in his mouth and disassembling and analyzing the Eight-Star Gun.

Its smart aiming, which can aim at multiple enemies at the same time, is really amazing. Other features such as firepower are secondary.

Does Arasaka really have this kind of technology? Even if he has this kind of technology, how can he still be beaten by Kanto in the smart gun game?

When Mann saw Ling Luxian modifying the gun, he stood aside with his arms folded across his chest and watched.

Ling Luxian stopped what he was doing when he saw Mann come in.

"Why don't you continue? By the way, why isn't Pyrrha, the tech geek, here with you?"

Ling Luxian pretended to be nonchalant and said casually: "Well, there was a little problem between us."

"Hehe." Mann smiled without saying anything. He already knew the reason.

What brother in the world would like to see his sister jumping into a fire pit? Naturally, he would get angry.

"What a joke." Ling Luxian glared at him unhappily.

"Tell me, when did you meet him?"

Mann didn't know why Ling Luxian was so concerned about this matter. But he also found something fishy, there must be some conspiracy.

He scratched his head and asked back, "How did you know this would happen? Were you involved in this?"

"Alas, in 2077, all kinds of demons and monsters have come out." Ling Luxian sighed, "You should tell me first, and I will explain it to you later."

Speaking of this, Mann's face was full of seriousness.

"Just yesterday, I went to Old Vina to inspect the prosthesis and discovered the cyberpsychosis incident you mentioned."

"To be precise, it's not a cyberpsychosis incident." Ling Luxian interrupted him.

"Okay, it's not a cyberpsychopath." Mann compromised, although he felt that it was no different from a cyberpsychopath. "The murderer seems to be a peddler. I seem to have seen him before.

But that's not important. What's important is that he seemed to be crazy and hacked to death a woman who was passing by. "

Ling Luxian sneered, "Humph, cyber psychopath, it seems that this guy has been targeted for a long time."

"Didn't you say you're not a cyberpsychopath?" Mann frowned and looked at Ling Luxian, wondering why he was talking incoherently.

Ling Luxian may be a cyberpsychopath, but it is somewhat unlikely that Ling Luxian is a cyberpsychopath.

"Mann... the cyberpsychopath I'm talking about is the puppet, not that he is a cyberpsychopath." Since Mann didn't know the ins and outs of hacking, Ling Luxian patiently explained to him.

"Now that you put it that way, I understand."

'You know nothing.'

When Ling Luxian saw the confused look on his face, he knew that he was pretending to know everything, and he secretly complained in his heart.

"Oh my, so someone is plotting something?"

"It should be related to the mayoral election."

Ling Luxian felt that the time was ripe and it was time to establish a relationship with Lucius Lane, which was very important for Kang Tao to join the leadership team in Night City.

"I don't understand, how do you know this is related to the mayoral election?"

Mann was very curious. He always felt that Ling Luxian was weird and always knew secrets that others didn't know.

"I can't tell you the details yet." Ling Luxian kept the secret, "But I can tell you that there is a lot of water behind this, and we must be careful.

Also, don't forget to remind Pyrrha to be careful recently. Damn, there are more and more cyber maniacs in Night City."

Although Pyrrha survived until 2077, his trouble-making personality will eventually lead to his downfall. Especially now, there are more and more cyber lunatics, and it is hard to say whether it is caused by the wandering AI.

Mann nodded. He knew Ling Luxian would not easily reveal the truth. But he believed in Ling Luxian's judgment that this incident must be very serious.

"I will do as you say. By the way, how do you plan to deal with this matter?" Mann looked at the Eight-Star Gun on the table and thought that Ling Luxian must have a plan.

Ling Luxian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Night City is becoming more and more interesting. Since someone wants to cause trouble, let's play with them."

Mann saw that Ling Luxian was very interested, but he kept his plan to himself, which made him feel itchy as if a cat was scratching him.

There was no choice but to go find Pyrrha first. I didn't know when these two petty guys would be able to make up.

"The curtain has been opened." After Mann left, Ling Luxian muttered to himself.

First of all, let's sort out our thoughts. The Night City mayoral election is undoubtedly a big event, and all parties are competing to make their supporters win the election.

The mayor of Night City has the power to appoint and dismiss municipal officials, and each change of term brings a new team. This position is very important to various companies in Night City.

The strongest candidate in the mayoral election right now is former mayor Lucius Lane.

Lucius Lane, his father was once an employee of Arasaka, and was buried in Arasaka Tower with Arasaka's prince Arasaka Kei fifty years ago.

Logically speaking, Lucius Lane should be a die-hard Arasaka faction. He did just that before.

Originally, Arasaka had withdrawn from the North American continent. When the military technology troops arrived in Night City, it was he who resolutely brought in the Arasaka forces.

This brought peace to Night City for a generation, and the citizens of Night City were grateful to him, so he was re-elected for several terms. Even in this election, he is still the highest supporter.

However, he is not a complete Arasaka faction. As a graduate of Richard Knight University, it is hard to say that he has no close relationship with Ye's Company.

And because her mother used to be an Internet monitoring staff, she established the Internet Monitoring Foundation after taking office as mayor.

Not only that, but he also had a connection with military technology. In his plan to clean up the wanderers, he decided to use the power of military technology, which was bound to cause dissatisfaction among Arasaka.

Lucius Lane was a complicated person. His death was almost foreseeable.

He has connections with every company, but not deep connections with each company. He is a typical fence-sitter. If he doesn't die, who will?

But this is a good thing for Kang Tao. Since Lucius is already a slave of the Five Surnames, it doesn't matter if there is one more Kang Tao.

The small vendor who committed the crime yesterday was probably the white glove that Arasaka was targeting.

Once he is thrown into prison this time, he will be transformed into a prosthetic body and brainwashed, becoming a tool to assassinate Lucius Lane.

But think about Lucius Lane, he has offended a lot of people.

Cutting NCPD spending would offend NCPD. Introducing military technology would offend Arasaka. Yeshi Company had already introduced a new agent to replace Lucius Lane. His lackey, Deputy Mayor Holt, was also eyeing the position under his butt.

I have to say, he is such a talented person, he has offended everyone.

Ling Luxian thought for a moment, picked up the Eight-Star Gun on the table and continued to modify it.
