Chapter 305 The Speculator

Even so, Panam was still shocked.

"Mind-controlling technology? Doesn't that mean we could all wake up one day and become someone else?"

"That's true, but are you worth anyone's control?" Ling Lu twitched the corner of his mouth. This matter was serious, but not so serious that a wanderer like Panam needed to worry about it.

The technology of Ye's Company still has great limitations, otherwise why don't they control Lucius Lane, but instead spend so much effort to train a Jefferson.

I'm afraid it will require not only technical costs, but also time costs. Perhaps as early as the moment Jefferson Perales was selected for support, Ye's company had already begun brainwashing him.

A lot of time has passed since Jefferson was sponsored to go to college, and now he has become a councilman who can compete for the mayoral election. There is still a risk of being discovered by Jefferson.

Therefore, it is impossible for Ye's company to mass-produce brainwashed people. It is more convenient for Black Wall AI to directly occupy human bodies than to use such time-consuming and laborious methods.

"You're right." Panam deflated, "This is not something we can participate in right now."

Ling Luxian comforted him, "That's right. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. As for you, take care of yourselves first."

"Iron Pilot, you really caused me a lot of trouble."

A voice came from behind Ling Luxian, and he turned his head to look.

"Old Wei, you're back. Sorry to have caused you so much trouble."

"What nonsense are you talking about." Lao Wei waved his hand. "You are never quiet at all, kid. But this is also my own fault. Who made me so compassionate? But..."

Lao Wei changed the subject and said, "If you really want to investigate further, you have to be careful. I think the person behind this must be very important. Alas, Gary is unlucky to have to deal with such a mess."

"Got it." Ling Luxian nodded in response.

"That's good." Lao Wei looked at the two of them, "By the way, what are your plans next?"

Ling Luxian thought for a moment, slapped his forehead and said, "Well, speaking of this, we were looking for material for filming Mewtwo. We just happened to come across Gary's incident, so it's just right to add it in as material.

I won't get involved in this mess. I'll send the video to Super Dream Studio to see if it can be used. As for the editing, Super Dream Studio will handle it, and we'll just start shooting the next material."

"Well, that's a good idea. Gary, I've already contacted someone to send him out of the city, and the unknown prosthesis has been dealt with. You don't have to pursue it any further." Lao Wei agreed, "If you need any help from now on, just come to me."

"Thank you." Ling Luxian said gratefully.

Then he turned and left Victor's prosthetic clinic, taking Panam and Cassidy to the Fourth Wall Studio.

When they found Rachel, she was busy with a big job, on the phone with Night City Prison. When she saw Ling Luxian coming, she hung up the phone in a hurry and greeted him with a smile.

"Hey, Mr. Pilot, you're here." Rachel greeted enthusiastically, "I just negotiated a cooperation with the Night City Prison. I can get a lot of exclusive information when the time comes."

"Oh? Really?" Ling Luxian asked curiously, "What kind of cooperation?"

Ling Luxian had guessed it to some extent, probably it was Joshua's mess. It was not dangerous, and it was a big enough gimmick. If it could be successfully recorded as Mewtwo, it would probably make a fortune.

I just don't know why Rachel told me this. I'm just cooperating with Rachel on her current project.

Rachel chuckled and said in a low voice, “We heard that there is a devout believer in Night City Prison, and his personal experience is quite interesting.

He had been sentenced to death, but wanted to do something for humanity before he died. We heard this rumor and decided to fulfill his wish by letting him be punished like Jesus and wash away the sins of the world.

Of course, we can also earn money from those believers, so we have the best of both worlds.”

Ling Luxian raised his eyebrows. "Isn't your last sentence the key point? But, how did you suddenly think of filming this subject?"

"It's market demand," Rachel explained. "Thanks to major companies, most people in the world are quasi-Christians. The harder their lives are, the more they need psychological comfort. It just so happens that we can sell this kind of comfort to them."

If Arturo was here, he would probably scold Rachel. He was angry because DMS was unscrupulous and wantonly selling Mewtwo, and even said that he was selling dreams.

That's why Arturo risked his life to get the dirty laundry of DMS in the bank. Now that DMS has collapsed, other Super Dream studios have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, and nothing has changed.

Ling Luxian knew that Arturo was too idealistic. Rachel was right. There would be sales only if there was demand. No matter how despicable the means used, as long as there was a market, there would be sellers.

"Indeed." Ling Luxian nodded, "So how are you progressing now?"

"Not bad." Rachel said, "I have already contacted the prisoner, and the prison guards have agreed to cooperate. As long as we sort out some details, we can start filming."

"Oh, congratulations." Ling Luxian said perfunctorily, "Then why are you telling me all this?"

Rachel looked around and saw that no one was around, so she said to Ling Luxian, "I'll be frank. This is to show you my ability. If the Fourth Wall Studio collapses, I hope you can help me."

I see. He is an opportunist who came to curry favor with Arasaka Yorinobu when he saw that he could get along with him.

Ling Luxian did not comment and took out the separation chip and handed it to Rachel.

"This is the footage we shot today, see if you can use it."

Rachel was a little disappointed when she saw Ling Luxian didn't express his opinion. When she heard that Ling Luxian had finished the filming material, she opened her mouth in shock.

"So fast?"

Rachel thought Ling Luxian was just being perfunctory. What use could the material shot so quickly be?

After watching the video in the separation chip, Rachel didn't know what to say. This was not perfunctory at all, it was recorded too well, too well.

Looking at the recorded footage, it's clear there's a huge conspiracy behind this. The gimmick is enough, it just depends on whether the company has the courage to release it.

"You..."

"Can't use it?" Ling Luxian tilted his head and looked at her.

"It can be used, but it's a little dangerous." Rachel said hurriedly, "This is better than I thought. However, once this Mewtwo is made public, I'm afraid it will cause quite a stir."

Ling Luxian smiled and said teasingly: "Isn't this exactly what you want? Only with conspiracy and gimmicks can your Mewtwo become popular."
