Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 121 Playing with Fire
Watson District.

Small Chinatown, high-end apartment.

Early in the morning, Sasha got up early, changed his clothes, washed up, then went to the kitchen area to put on an apron, and started his day as an assistant.

She first activated the smart home system.

The curtains of the entire apartment are automatically and slowly opened, the windows are automatically raised for ventilation, and the morning light illuminates the entire living room through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The intelligent voice starts to broadcast weather and traffic information, and the TV broadcasts the morning news.

Sasha boiled a pot of hot water and let it warm, then began to prepare two breakfasts for today.

After living together for a period of time, she has basically figured out Tang Yu's routine.

When I don’t go to work on weekdays, I go to bed later and wake up at the right time.

After waking up, wash up, and deal with some news while having breakfast.

After breakfast is finished, Tang Yu will come to the balcony to rest for a while. Apart from basking in the sun, he will occasionally play the guitar, chat with Sasha, and do some relaxing things.

After the leisure time in the morning is over, Tang Yu will start to deal with some company affairs remotely.

If he is not too busy, he will sometimes go out in the afternoon to practice marksmanship at the Wilson Shooting Gym, which is a necessary training for him to maintain his gun sense.

At night, I usually go out for a night run without being shaken. After the run, I go home, take a shower, clean up, and get ready to rest.

In fact, Sasha is not at ease with Tang Yu going out for a night run alone, but every time Tang Yu goes out, he has no intention of taking her with him.

So Sasha can only keep his thoughts in his heart, watching Tang Yu go out, and then come back after exercising.

She actually wants to go out with Tang Yu to practice guns and run, but the result is often staying at home alone, looking forward to it.
But Sasha is not idle at home. In addition to being Tang Yu's life assistant, he will also learn a lot of new knowledge, such as learning a few dishes and browsing some weird and fresh content on the Internet.

After being with Tang Yu for so long, she found that she was in maid mode 90% of the time.

The combat mode has only been turned on once, and the other modes are still zero points.

This made Sasha feel a little distressed, after all, each different mode is a new experience for her.

She herself is also very curious about the feeling of the intimate mode. Although she knows what the content is, it must be very different from the actual experience.

and so.

What she looks forward to most every day is to be with Tang Yu, listen to him play the piano and hum, and listen to him tell novel stories.

These things will bring her a sense of joy and happiness. This feeling is very wonderful, and it is indeed in line with the description of the noun, but it is completely impossible to express it in words without experiencing it personally.

For example, Sasha’s favorite stories are green snake, fairy sword, etc. She doesn’t understand many things in these stories, but she can still feel the emotions in the stories and empathize with the characters’ experiences.

Over time, she seems to be able to perceive more wonderful things than before, far beyond what knowledge and skills can match.

After Sasha gets up early, he will prepare everything before waking Tang Yu up.

It's just that Tang Yu's bedroom door is always locked, and Sasha has no choice but to knock on the door gently outside.

Boom, boom, boom.

"Mr. Tang, it's time to get up early."

at this time.

The bedroom door will be automatically unlocked and opened, and Tang Yu has already changed his clothes. When he goes out, he will touch the cat's head with a smile, and then start a day of home office life.

Sasha wanted to poke his head around to see what was going on in the bedroom, but before he had time to take a rough look, the door closed and locked again automatically.

This made Sasha feel a little disappointed.

She then followed Tang Yu, walked to the dining table and sat down, and began to have breakfast together, while Tang Yu would process some news at the same time.

[Arthur Jenkins, Counterintelligence Department: Don, how is everything in the department?I'm on a business trip, and it may take some time before I can return to the company. Remember to keep an eye on the department's movements, especially the new Deputy Minister Kate. 】

Tang Yu replied: "I will pay attention."

[Jack Wells: Hey, brother, do you know what happened?Misty actually agreed to go on a date with me, help me figure out a way, what should I do on a date?Whether it's going to a movie, or a Mewtwo, or going to a bar for a drink or two, give me an idea, I'm really anxious to death. 】

Tang Yu replied: "The room at the Canbi Mansion Hotel has been booked for you, a couple's suite, just give me my name."

[Victor Victor: Don, how are you doing recently, was the girl okay last time?He's a good boy, take good care of him. 】

Reply: "Old Wei, everything is fine here, and Sasha is also fine, I will come to see you when I have time."

【Panan Palmer: Don, how about going back? I brought your gift back to the tribe. Sol was a little unhappy. He was always worried about this and that, but he agreed to accept it anyway.By the way, Mitch was so happy that he asked me to say hello and thank you.In addition, Cassidy expressed disbelief when he learned about your sharpshooter deeds. He looks forward to your next visit to the Adekado family and let him see who is the real sharpshooter. 】

Tang Yu replied: "No problem, besides, did Mitch never think about giving me a gift in return? For example, the 'Watch'. Smile (expression)"

Tang Yu finished dealing with today's news one by one, and he had almost eaten breakfast. After washing and tidying up, he took a warm white and went to the balcony to bask in the morning sun.

Tang Yu sat on the soft chair and drank warm tea. Although he lived a bit like a retired old man, he felt that his life was much more comfortable.

If you are too tense, you must learn to relax yourself. He is used to a life of relaxation.

It has been almost a week since the last commission from Badlands was completed, and he has been working from home these days.

With Sasha at home to take care of her, it was an easy time.

Sasha quickly came over, moved a soft armchair, sat next to Tang Yu, and then looked at him intently, without saying a word.

Tang Yu naturally knew her little thoughts, and it was time to raise a cat again, so he asked with a smile: "Do you want to listen to a story or a song today?"

Sasha thought for a while, seemed a little hesitant, and finally said with a smile: "Sasha wants to hear it!"

Seeing that Sasha was still as well-behaved as ever, Tang Yu couldn't help but think of all the things that happened in the bad land that day.

in fact.

He had already noticed Mann and the others' unusual expressions. It was obvious that Mann and the others showed extremely surprised expressions after seeing Sasha.

Especially Rebecca, with her big eyes staring straight at Sasha, never leaving her eyes, there must be something wrong with it.

later.

When they returned to Night City from Badlands, Sasha took the initiative to tell Tang Yu what he knew.

It turned out that after Sasha killed the Kangtao robot, Rebecca recognized Sasha, and ran over to ask Sasha if she still remembered her.

Sasha seemed to have only a vague sense of familiarity with Rebecca, but she really didn't know her, and she had no impression at all in her mind.

The only thing she knew was that her brain felt like it had been hit hard, and it hurt so much.

Tang Yu is absolutely sure that Sasha's past is inseparable from Mann's team.

When he and Lao Wei were examining Sasha, they found that Sasha's original consciousness had fallen into a deep sleep, and his body had been severely injured.

If Sasha had joined the Mann team before, and as a team hacker, unfortunately, he was seriously injured and on the verge of death during a certain task, and was finally targeted by the Arasaka Company and transformed into what he is today.

Then the mystery of Sasha's life experience makes sense, a cyberpunk hacker girl from the street, and she knew Mann and others, and even had teamwork.

Tang Yu also knew Mann's doubts in their hearts, and wanted to find out why Sasha suddenly appeared, still as a company assistant.

In the tribe at that time, Tang Yu chose to play down the matter and did not give Mann and others the opportunity to prove it.

Tang Yu has his own considerations.

Because the current Sasha is no longer the Sasha that Mann and the others knew back then, even if he explained everything in front of her, Sasha couldn't understand and agree.

the most important is.

Sasha has long been used to the world where there is only Tang Yu, and a bunch of strangers suddenly appear, telling Sasha excitedly that her past will only scare her.

In addition, the pseudo-dead brain in Sasha's body can no longer be strongly stimulated.

If the original consciousness can't be suppressed and wakes up, then only real brain death is waiting for Sasha.

and so.

Tang Yu also suppressed the doubts in his heart, everything will be discussed after he returns, and let Mann and others calm down for a few days by the way.

Gloria had already conveyed Mann's invitation to him, wanting to meet alone.

Naturally, Tang Yu would not refuse, what he was waiting for was this meeting with Mann.

Take back your thoughts.

Tang Yu touched Sasha's head, then picked up a guitar and played and sang lightly.

Sasha gradually became fascinated.

Leisure time is always short. Tang Yu was just about to put away the instrument, but received a request for phone communication.

Gloria?

Tang Yu didn't take the initiative to contact her during this time, and since he sent Joanne Koch's information to her, he didn't care about the follow-up situation.

Seeing that Tang Yu had something to do on the phone, Sasha obediently helped him pick up the instrument, turned and went back to the room.

Communication is on.

Gloria said hello first, and then went straight to the point.

"Mr. Tang, the commission of the Red Ocher Tribe has been completed, but only Joanne Keqi was kidnapped and handed over to the tribe."

Hearing the news, Tang Yu felt a little appreciation for her arrangement, which was a smart move.

Just looking for an opportunity to kidnap the company's top executives and hand them over to the Red Ocher Tribe is a much lower risk than assassination.

As the director of biotechnology, Joanne Koch must be the company's key protection target, a platinum member of the trauma team, and a key figure of NCPD.

If it really died at the hands of Mann and others, there would be too much trouble to deal with.

Tang Yu said indifferently: "Well, you did a good job."

Gloria was affirmed by Tang Yu, and she was relieved, so she gave Tang Yu a general account of the entire mission process.

Based on Joanne Koch's intelligence, they began to investigate her movements and found her hiding in the Biotechnology Hotel.

From company office to personal life, Joanne Koch is carried out under the strict security of the hotel.

First, Qi Wei was responsible for invading the hotel's electronic system, causing a short-term power failure, blocking relevant monitoring, and causing some chaos.

Then, Lucy took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into the security room. After the security was dealt with, she entered the hotel management terminal, started with the weakly defended smart air-conditioning system, and destroyed the air-conditioning facility in the room where Joanne Koch was staying.

Dorio and Pila pretended to be air-conditioning maintenance workers, put on relevant documents, entered the elevator through the door, and arrived at the nineteenth floor where Joanne Koch lived.

While Joanne Koch is still watching and experiencing Mewtwo, stun her and insert a signal shielding chip.

Carrying the target person on her shoulders, Dorio arrived at the rooftop again, and Mann and Rebecca had already prepared the floating car.

After receiving the target person, Lucy in the security room immediately deleted all cached data, and then implanted a virus to destroy the memory.

After finishing it, Lucy also successfully withdrew from the Biotechnology Hotel.

Although there are some twists and turns in the middle, fortunately, the whole action is fast enough.

After Joanne Koch's biological signal was blocked, it immediately aroused the vigilance of Kangtao robot guards and hotel security.

The security forces of the entire building quickly rushed to the nineteenth floor, only to find that Joanne Keqi had mysteriously disappeared.

The whole operation went very smoothly. At present, Joanne Koch has been secretly taken away by Mann and is going to be handed over to the Red Ocher Tribe.

Tang Yu believes that the division of labor of the Mann team is reasonable this time. Compared with the previous times of reckless firepower, this kind of work can better display their team characteristics.

Well-planned, well-organized, and coordinated with each other, to complete the task with the least cost, so as to get the highest reward, this is in line with the way of survival of the Night City mercenaries,

After this commission is completed, Mann's team should be able to make a steady profit, instead of spending the money on ammunition, weapons, and vehicles like last time.

After Gloria finished telling the basic situation of the mission, it seemed that there were still important things to report.

Tang Yu didn't hang up the phone and motioned her to continue talking.

Gloria carefully stroked her train of thought, and then said, "In addition to kidnapping Joanne Koch, Mann and the others are also trying to hack into her ICE, trying to find something from the brain consciousness data."

After catching Joanne Koch, did a deep dive?

Tang Yu suddenly realized something, and looked back at Sasha in the room.

Gloria quickly added: "They did excavate some things from Joanne Koch's brain, about the cooperation between biotechnology and military technology, and even about Sasha."

"Mann said he wanted to talk to you face to face, saying that Sasha had something to do with the explosion in the Biotech building two years ago."

Already involved in military technology?
Tang Yu believes that this matter involves more than imagined, biotechnology, Kangtao, military technology, and evil earth forces.

The conspiracy of these companies is probably not that simple.

We can't let Mann and others play with fire any longer, this matter must come to an end.

Tang Yu said in a deep voice: "I know about this matter, everything about biotechnology ends here, don't have anything to do with the red ocher tribe, remember, you don't owe them anything."

Gloria was inexplicably tense when she heard Tang Yu's reminder, and the little joy that she had just completed the commission and received Tang Yu's approval quickly disappeared without a trace.

She also seemed to realize that this matter was indeed involved too deeply, and the situation was beyond her or Mann's control, so she replied seriously: "I understand, this matter ends here."

Tang Yu still felt uneasy, and asked again: "Is Joanne Koch still in Mann's hands?"

Gloria quickly replied: "It's still in the hands of Mann and the others, waiting for people from the Red Ocher Tribe to pick it up."

Tang Yu replied directly: "Leave the people and tell the red ocher tribe that the people are dead. I have other uses."

Gloria immediately realized that if the living Joanne Koch was handed over to Red Ocher, everyone would be exposed in the event of an accident.

She immediately agreed and was going to tell Mann immediately to stay.

Hang up the call.

Tang Yu felt that the time to meet Mann was ripe.

Suddenly Sasha trotted over and reminded: "Mr. Tang, WNS News reported that Joanne Koch, a high-level biotechnology executive, is missing."

Sasha knew the identity of Joanne Koch, who was the chief culprit who harmed the Red Ocher Tribe, so she stepped forward to inform her.

Tang Yu nodded slightly and said, "Well, the wicked have their own evil."

He didn't want Sasha to know the follow-up for the time being, so he just clicked on it and didn't talk about it in depth.

Sasha didn't ask much, she knew that Tang Yu didn't talk about it, there must be other arrangements.

Tang Yu closed his eyes again, trying to think about the loopholes in the whole thing.

The plan of Gloria and Mann's team was perfect, and Joanne Koch was also successfully robbed, and she is still in control.

He called up the communication list, found the contact information of Harry, the head of the counterintelligence department's investigation section, and dialed the phone.

Harry suddenly received a call from Tang Yu, and suddenly panicked. After answering the call, he asked cautiously, "Mr. Tang, do you have any arrangements?"

Tang Yu said bluntly: "Immediately arrange for secret agents lurking in the biotechnology company from the Ministry to investigate, the reason for the disappearance of Dr. Joanne Koch, the director of biotechnology, and the latest trends in the biotechnology company."

"In addition, there was an explosion in the building of the biotechnology company two years ago. Find out what happened at that time and report it immediately."

After Harry took the order, he immediately began to connect the agents.

Tang Yu sent a message to Mann again, asking him where Joanne Koch was being held, and we will meet now.

Mann quickly sent the address. They were located in an old apartment on the east side of Cherry Blossom Street in Westbrook.

Tang Yu got up to tidy up a little, and was ready to go out for the appointment.

He had to see with his own eyes that Joanne Koch was still there, and he couldn't let her make any mistakes.

Seeing that Tang Yu was going out, Sasha took a windbreaker and walked over and put it on his shoulders.

"Sasha saw that it was raining outside, so it might be a bit cold."

Tang Yu looked at Sasha's well-behaved appearance, and knew that she wanted to go out with her, but this trip was to meet Mann, so it was inconvenient to take her with her.

He just raised his hand and touched her head, and said softly, "Wait for me at home."

Sasha nodded, saying that he would wait obediently at home.

Tang Yu put on his coat and got up to go out, calling a Delaman to the destination.
