He could live gloriously under the banner of great unity with the woman he loves, and even become a high-ranking official who fights against corruption and injustice...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he also knew, the prerequisite was to first accept the greatest injustice: Kings can never commit crimes, executive commissioners never make mistakes, and even if they did, one must consider the bigger picture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Medici Family was certainly involved in the trade and obscenity of minors, just like Night City’s legit Jotaro, but he couldn’t speak out—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he stepped out of the elevator and faced Sevens, he had already accepted his new self:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This new self no longer had Lille’s adventurous plans, Johnny’s endless chattering, nor Munemasa constantly instilling technical concepts into him, forcing him to learn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the elevator to the Ecological Theater, he reunited with Sevens, and he revealed his thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, Sevens only wore his usual expression, giving nothing away about what he was thinking—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sevens simply replied, \"Congratulations, you’ve already got what you wanted, so let’s call it a day. Come to think of it, I wasn’t really up for desperate efforts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elliot felt like he was punching cotton again, but even the Illuminati did not foresee any of this, so how could he have?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or rather, Sevens, this ordinary person with no extras, no family background, deceived everyone!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He deceived the European Barrier, deceived the Illuminati, and even those incompetent bureaucrats and the Central Committee—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the beginning to the end, Elliot’s goal was only to reach Berlin, but Sevens, his lifelong goal was to uncover the truth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, this is not Night City, nor Free City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps Night City isn’t free either, except for the unforeseen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elliot looked at Sevens extending his hand, unable to move an inch forward despite all his efforts, as he stood there dumbfounded...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, a sudden change burst forth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the drones that rushed over simultaneously opened fire, but their targets were not the Sevens on the ground, rather the surrounding cyber soldiers!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rat-a-tat-a-tat—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A barrage of gunfire and small bombs cleared out the cyber soldiers in the Ecological Theater before Elliot could react!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their subdermal armor, caught completely off guard, was penetrated by dense bullets and missiles in an instant, flesh and blood flying everywhere!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elliot just stood there, aghast, his mind completely unable to process what happened next—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pa-tat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Graham, who turned around, had a look of terror as he fell onto the floor:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How... wrong! Wrong! We’ve been attacked...?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Head-sized reconnaissance drones crazily charged in the direction of Graham like cannonballs, that high-grade porcelain-gold skin deformed and shattered under the heavy impact, bones fractured inch by inch, blood and prosthetics lubricating oil spurted out from the fractures—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was nothing short of torture!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sevens raised his hand and was also stunned; he thought he was dead for sure, but when he opened his eyes, everything around him had been wiped out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ecological Theater was akin to a war zone under the strafing and bombardment, and Graham was reduced to a mound of unmovable slime amidst his screams, left to wail on the spot!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aaaaaaaaah! My—my body, my hands... I want to kill you, I want to—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pa-tat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blais jumped up from the edge of the Ecological Theater’s rooftop, hesitating a bit upon landing due to unfamiliarity with this exoskeleton combat mode.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ran to Sevens and gave him a thumbs-up: \"Awesome, bro.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Me? I am...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blais paused and secretly retorted in his heart: How did Lille manage to come up with such a shameful code name back then?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But of course, he didn’t know that it was never Lille who said it himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Chicken Shredded Roll I am!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was so nervous that he repeated his introduction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...You know Burger King, right? The one that sank that...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know, but Chicken Shredded Roll...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ll find out today, get up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While speaking, Blais injected Sevens with an activating injection, performed a simple emergency treatment, and then strapped him onto himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sevens found it all very curious: This journey indeed gave him the feeling that there were people fighting side by side with him, but unfortunately at the final moments, that feeling was already gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Information couldn’t pass through the European Barrier, Elliot decided to take pardon, and in the end, he could only face the truth alone...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then out of nowhere appeared a Chicken Shredded Roll.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hold tight—I know you’re in pain, but hold tight, the next journey won’t be so leisurely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait a minute!\" Sevens urgently called out, \"So you mean Burger King is right here? He attacked Europa Tower just because I eat five burgers every day?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What burger, what are you talking about... he did it because he had business to handle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... then is he himself here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This last question was asked by Elliot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression was very eager and urgent, but upon closer inspection, there was a sense of despair within.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blais looked at Elliot and said, \"You’ve already met him—also, the European Union thought they had already cut off the signal just now, but actually they hadn’t, you’re famous now, Sevens, your career in the bureaucracy is over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hurry and think of a stage name to debut in the world of criminal fame... don’t stress, I used to be a senior agent of network supervision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying that, he approached Graham, plugged into the neural link, hacked into his system, and conveniently took out the components on him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haha... haha...\" Sevens laughed so hard tears came out, \"What pressure can I feel, I’ve long wanted to quit! Got a gun? Lend it to me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elliot was startled, but only saw Sevens pressing the gun against Graham’s head—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now their identities were reversed, Graham was lying in a pool of blood, his bones fractured all over, slurring:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Spare me... we have no feud... I have money...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No feud? Really, the powerful always forget, blame me for not finishing my sentence earlier.\" Sevens’ tone was ice cold, \"Back then, the one who ordered the factory to run on overtime was your son, Fred Graham. After it all happened, he patted his ass and went to buy the patent and dissolved the former company!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Graham’s face became more and more fierce as he howled: \"You...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trigger was pulled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blais laughed for a moment, \"Hey man, I was going to leave him alive so that we could just get out of here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, let Lille... Burger King handle it, we need to get to the database.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blais took Sevens, fastened him to himself, and ran.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mind was shattered, and I went crazy asking: Why didn’t you say earlier that you are Burger King? If you had said, I would know you would win for sure. If I knew you’d win, of course, I would want to be a hero against the government, a ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But quickly his face turned pale, changing dramatically: If you had said, I would know you would win for sure. If I knew that, I would of course want to be a hero who opposes the government, one who...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his face quickly turned an ashen white, as Elliot recalled with a mad asking: why didn’t you say earlier that you are Burger King? If you told me I would have known you would win, and if I knew you’d win, I naturally wanted to be a hero who fights against the government, a...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon his face turned deathly pale as he found a realization: if you had told me from the start that you’re Burger King, I would have known you’d definitely win, and I would’ve wanted to be a hero who, against the government, rebuilds the entire world, becomes famous, and achieves greatness under the name of a certain successor, comfortably directing people to do this and that from a dragon throne.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s just an opportunist.\u003C\u002Fp>",1586,"2026-06-03T12:33:37.970Z","2026-06-03T12:33:42.667Z",1,"novelbin.me","edfbf2296738e1f82269e36d237117bafe668c8cd6e65d31670ad0c7751f5401","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-940","cyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-chapter-938",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcyberpunk-cross-dimensional-science-and-engineer-cover.jpg"]
