A Core Ship From The Start Chapter 1161

Chapter 1161: Chapter 795: The Chaotic Beginning Chapter 1161: Chapter 795: The Chaotic Beginning Following the coordinates provided by Regina, a group of people arrived at a dilapidated warehouse on the north side of Night City. There, D met a visibly anxious and uneasy Regina.

“Where is the person?”

Upon seeing D, the first question Regina asked was this. D meanwhile, gestured to Lucy, who opened the trunk of the car and dragged out the unfortunate fool.

“So it's all true, damn it…”

Staring at the Cybernetic Madman before her, Regina clenched her teeth, then turned her gaze to D.

“Now we're really in trouble… Maybe you don't know yet, but in fact, after receiving your data, I did some research and found that it is related to an important project of Arasaka–do you know about RELIC?”

“That Soul Chip, right? The damn ads are on TV every day, annoying as hell.”

Hearing Regina's question, D raised an eyebrow and responded. In fact, this was also the reason why D had resolved to target Arasaka–digitizing people's souls for immortality… Heh, the moment he heard this, D immediately thought of Fear of Death and the Star Gods. Damn, if he did not tear Arasaka Corporation to shreds, then what would be the point?

“Yes, I found out through investigation that this should be another project by Arasaka Corporation on digital soul transformation…! If we can expose this, then Arasaka Corporation would be done for!”

“That's for sure. No one wants to be turned into a Cybernetic Madman by someone else… So Arasaka will definitely fight to the death to stop us.”

“That's right.”

Regina nodded, then she stared at Lucy and Panan standing behind D.

“Who else knows about this?”

“For now, just the four of us.”

“………Alright, where's the data?”

“Right here.”

D took out the chip and handed it over.

“Oh, by the way, I have a backup.”

“That's good, but we still need to think about how to play this card.”

Regina nodded her head.

“Arasaka controls most of the media, but even so, if the problems with the digital soul project are exposed, Arasaka will be completely ruined. The issue is, when and where should we disclose all of this, and to whom.”

“You say that as if you already have a plan?”

“Of course, at the upcoming International Information Security Conference in Munich, if I can find a way to get in, I can publicly announce this issue, which would be an unimaginable blow to Arasaka Corporation. I hope you can come with me to Munich, as that would greatly increase the safety of my actions.”

“In that case, Lucy and Panan can go with you.”

D didn't seem to mind.

“I will stay here to draw Arasaka's attention. As long as they believe the data is still with me, they won't bother you. Plus, I have very important things to do in Night City.”

“Are you sure?”

Hearing D's response, Regina was quite surprised.

“Arasaka must see you as their number one suspect. This city is almost completely under Arasaka's control, staying here…”

“Arasaka is nothing of concern to me.”

D waved his hand dismissively.

“Alright then, let's head out immediately!”

“Now?”

Hearing Regina's statement, both Lucy and Panan were shocked.

“Wait, isn't this too hasty?”

“If we keep delaying, Arasaka could come to kill us at any moment, they definitely won't let anyone who might know about this get away. Or are you saying that you'd like to stay here and wait for Arasaka's hitmen like D?”

“Uh…”
Hearing Regina's words, Lucy and Panan exchanged glances.

“Quick! We go buy the tickets to Munich now, enter the airport in the shortest time possible! Let's move immediately!”

Faced with Regina's urgency, Lucy and Panan had no choice but to brace themselves and get into Regina's car, while the latter looked towards D.

“Don't you die now. I suggest you hide nearby for a while, just until we reveal everything that Arasaka has done at the Munich safety conference, then you'll be safe.”

“Don't worry about me. Maybe by the time you return, Night City will have transformed into a completely different place.”

Hearing D's reply, Regina was somewhat puzzled, but she still smiled at D.

“I hope so. Honestly, I don't think Night City will get much better, given what this city is like… Sigh, but this is definitely the biggest story of my career, just you watch.”

After saying this, Regina slammed on the gas pedal, and moments later she disappeared around the other side of the street. D just calmly watched her leave without a word.

[She certainly won't like what you're doing]
At the same time, Lumiaire's voice rang in D's ear.

“Judges never do things just to be liked. People fear us, despise us, but it doesn't matter to Judges. We are just completing our work, our duty, everything we do.”

D turned his gaze away, looking around.

“To be honest, her not informing Arasaka was the right decision.”

[I think so too]
Lumiaire agreed with D's opinion. Indeed, if it were another intermediary, they might have cut ties with D by now, perhaps even betraying him. But D was confident Regina wouldn't do that. It wasn't because of a great trust in Regina, but from the perspective of self-interest, there was no benefit for Regina in doing so–Arasaka wanted to kill every person who knew about this, so Regina herself would surely be dealt with. Moreover, Regina used to be a journalist; she had seen plenty of betrayals. Even if she betrayed D today, she might end up dead under Arasaka's gun tomorrow.
