Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 126 Silver Hand
At night, North Oaks.

A black Delaman taxi was driving slowly on the asphalt road, heading towards the North Oak Park mansion and villa.

in the carriage.

Sasha is looking at the night scene outside the window through the car window. On the left is the neon lights of the city, and on the right is the quiet and deep waves of the night sea.

Stone hills, palm trees, and sea view villas all reflect the tropical landscape characteristics of the North Oak area.

Suddenly, a giant sign caught her attention, and the bright white letter sculpture was located on the hillside.

"northern-oak"

Sasha was a little curious. What did Tang Yu bring her here? He said before that he wanted to hold a concert and find a few friends to suppress the scene.

Sasha looked away, looked at Tang Yu and asked seriously: "Mr. Tang, do you have friends living here?"

Tang Yu also saw the white sign on the hillside outside the window, which was a familiar place again.

"Well, a friend lives here."

After speaking, a figure appeared in his mind.

Clio Rodion.

A well-known super rock star in Night City, Johnny's former little brother.

Tang Yu wants to successfully hold a concert, but he can't do it without Kerry, a little brother.

Delaman chimed in and reminded: "Mr. Tang, your destination is a luxury villa. The property owner of this villa is the famous rock boy Clio Rodion, who once served as the lead singer and guitarist of Samurai Band. Purchased the beach house after the release of their fourth album, a smash hit."

Following Delaman's 'kindness' explanation, Sasha immediately understood who Tang Yu was talking about as a friend.

Although she had never met Clio Rodion, the overwhelming entertainment publicity on the Internet had already demonstrated the status of this rock star.

Sasha was very surprised. He didn't expect to invite the rock star Kerry to a concert. He couldn't help but sigh that Tang Yu's "circle of friends" is really big.

Tang Yu joked: "Lao De, your brain is very active. How many AI chips have you installed for yourself?"

Delaman mechanically replied: "Mr. Tang, the AI ​​chip can only increase the capacity of Delaman's algorithm. Presumably you must be concerned about your friend's recent situation. According to various entertainment news reports, the rock boy Clio Rodion is suspected of having Depression, accompanied by behaviors such as suicide."

Tang Yu knows the truth behind these entertainment gossips. The so-called depression and suicide are all deliberate hypes of the little brother Kerry.

On the one hand, the reason is to maintain its own popularity, so as not to be squeezed by newly emerging entertainment singers.

On the other hand, Kerry also wants to be clean and clean. Since the release of his four albums, he has made a lot of money, and there are more and more complicated things around him, which disturb him.

soon.

Delaman's special car arrived at the destination and stopped in front of the gate of Kerry's mansion villa.

The black steel fence cuts off the passage, and the relief of the golden warrior helmet is inlaid on the gate.

After getting off the car, Tang Yu looked at the tightly closed door, and said to Sasha next to him: "The door is locked, let's go in."

When Sasha heard Tang Yu's words, he suddenly had some doubts in his mind. Since he is here to visit a friend, shouldn't he call to see if the other party is at home, so that he can directly control the entrance and walk in without saying hello?
Sasha used his newly learned knowledge of basic social etiquette to analyze and judge the current situation. Although he was a little bit puzzled, he was still very quick to remotely hack the access control system.

Soon, the black steel fence was automatically and slowly opened, and the two walked into the inner courtyard of the villa.

Sasha asked curiously: "Mr. Tang, you hacked the door and walked in because you and Kerry's friends are very close, so don't you need to say hello?"

Tang Yu knew that Sasha was curious about everything now, especially interpersonal relationships and feelings, so he explained: "Kerry doesn't know me yet, but he knows a friend of mine very well."

Kerry does not know Tang Yu now, and the two haven't had any contact yet, but this does not prevent Tang Yu from coming to him to 'play'.

Sasha gave a soft 'oh', and nodded with half understanding.

Tang Yu knew that she still didn't quite understand, so he continued to explain: "The reason why we walked in without saying hello is because Kerry doesn't know us, and nine out of ten will treat us as crazy fans, and will definitely not open the door to let us go Come in."

"Of course, I can also reveal my job status, but this can't scare the rock boy Kerry. He has a good relationship with Arasaka Laishou, and few people in the company dare to touch him."

Tang Yu remembered his dealings with Kerry before, and found that this kid did have two brushes.

Kerry was signed to MSM Records, but got hooked up with Arasaka Yoshinobu, and the two would eat and chat together when they had nothing to do.

Sometimes, Tang Yu feels that Night City is so big that all kinds of people can find a place here.

Sometimes, he feels that Night City is very small, so small that even walking around it is inseparable from the shadows of those big companies and those familiar people.

He, V, Johnny, Kerry, Rogge, and even Lai Xuan were all squeezed into a circle without knowing it.

After hearing this, Sasha suddenly became more confused. Since it is not easy to reveal his identity, if he sneaked in and was discovered, he would still have a good face.

Simple, she was suddenly a little worried, worried that the other party would not want to see her, after all, she was the one who hacked the door and slipped in with Tang Yu, she didn't want to leave a bad impression on Tang Yu's friends.

Just like meeting Lao Wei, Gloria, and Panan for the first time, following Tang Yu, you can quickly get acquainted with them.

Sasha's eyes looked a little worried, and he blamed himself in a low voice: "Will Kerry kick Sasha out?"

Seeing Sasha's innocent and aggrieved appearance, Tang Yu smiled helplessly, and raised his hand to touch her cat's head.

"Don't worry, Kerry will buy my face, or he will buy my friend's face."

"Seeing the return of Big Brother, I'm afraid it's too late for Kerry to be happy."

big brother?
Sasha didn't understand when there was another big brother, but he didn't see Tang Yu invited other people to come, so he asked: "Sasha is a little confused, who is the big brother, and is he here too?"

Tang Yu said indifferently: "Johnny Silver Hand, I said he is coming, and he is here."

Johnny Silverhand?

Sasha froze for a moment.

She is also very familiar with this name. When studying the historical materials of Arasaka Tower in Night City, this name appears too frequently.

Johnny Silver Hand, once used a thermonuclear bomb to blow up the twin towers of Arasaka, Night City, and burned half of Night City, and was called a nuclear bomb terrorist by the Arasaka family.

explosion, heat wave, incineration
These words and scenes made Sasha inexplicably feel a little headache, and seemed to bring back some memories that did not belong to her.

Tang Yu noticed Sasha's abnormality and guessed that her brain might have been stimulated.

Sasha immediately took out the medicine bag from his pocket, poured out a white pill and swallowed it.

After a while, Sasha's face gradually returned to normal, thinking that he had delayed Tang Yu's business, he apologized: "I'm sorry, Sasha."

Tang Yu interrupted her apology softly: "It's okay, no need to apologize, it's not your fault."

A light flashed in Sasha's eyes, he smiled with relief, and continued to follow Tang Yu's pace, walking towards the villa building.

The lawn in the inner courtyard is extremely spacious. A luxurious gold-plated villa is located on the edge of the mountain, facing the sea and the edge of the city, enjoying unlimited scenery.

Outside the building, several intelligent bodyguard robots are holding rifles, cruising around the single-family villa automatically, and turning on the alert mode to protect the safety of the mansion.

Sasha thought that when he came in just now, he unlocked it through the black access control, and when he saw these intelligent robots, he immediately understood.

With Tang Yu's permission, she quickly turned on the combat mode, leaped over silently, and hacked into several intelligent robots remotely in advance.

Sasha immediately entered a new code command, changed the robot's inspection route, and cleared the villa's gate area.

She then walked to the gate of the villa and easily cracked the access control system. When Tang Yu came over, all obstacles had been resolved.

At this time, Tang Yu suddenly understood Xiao Michiko's intentions, and it was indeed much more convenient to have a hacker like Sasha by his side.

In the past, as a top hacker himself, he naturally didn't need Sasha's help, and many troubles could be easily solved in the blink of an eye.

It's just that now he's still in his original body, handling smart electronic devices and so on, it really can't work without Sasha.

Tang Yu walked straight into the luxurious villa, and found that the layout style of the house was the same as before.

The three-storey duplex structure villa, the lobby on the first floor is extremely spacious and bright, and the 270-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows have a panoramic view.

Expensive pianos, fitness equipment, wine bottles and cans, blankets and pillows, leftover covers, etc. are thrown away wantonly, which looks like a luxurious dump.

Sasha looked at the interior of the villa curiously, guessing that Kerry, who lived here, was probably a sloppy guy who didn't behave well.

She didn't expect that behind the star's glamor and beauty, her life was so messy, and she couldn't help but compare it with Tang Yu's family.

In terms of area and luxury, Kerry's villa wins.

Compared with cleanliness and comfort, Tang Yu's apartment wins.

Sasha looked around and found nothing unusual, and she didn't like big houses. Living with Tang Yu, naturally the smaller the house, the better.

at this time.

When Sasha saw Tang Yu walking towards a corner, she quickly followed and found that the corner had been transformed into a music area.

Drum kits, tuners, high-end stereos, and other music-related items are all available.

But she found that Tang Yu's attention was all on a few vintage guitars, which hung on the wall and looked old.

She knew that Tang Yu also liked to play the guitar, so she came forward and took a serious look around, trying to see some clues.

Tang Yu picked up one of the guitars, looked at it repeatedly for a moment, and explained: "This battle ax must have been at least dozens of years old, and Kerry's favorite back then."

Sasha was also taken aback, this guitar was much older than her age.

Tang Yu hugged the guitar, sat on the sofa, checked the tomahawk in his hand, and confirmed that there was nothing wrong.

"Well maintained."

Sasha followed and stood aside obediently. She knew Tang Yu was about to play, so she kept silent and said nothing.

Tang Yu held the neck of the piano with his left hand, prepared to pluck the strings with his right hand, and stepped on the beat with his toes.

A few seconds later, at the moment of shooting, a burst of electric piano sound roared out, the tone was passionate and deep.

"C-can, you, feel, it"

"can, you, touch, it"

Tang Yu switched chords familiarly, and his fingering was full of rhythm and rhythm.

The huge rock sound filled the entire villa suite, even if Kerry was still asleep, he could still hear the sudden explosion sound.

Sasha suddenly discovered that he had heard this electric guitar sound before, and Tang Yu was playing the famous song "Gu Guan" by the Samurai Band.

The origin of this song is also extraordinary, it is Johnny Silver Hand's exclusive divine song.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before the electronic sound rang out.

A hurried figure rushed down from the second floor immediately, holding a silver pistol in his hand, and questioned Tang Yu.

"Who are you horse riders?"

Seeing that Tang Yu was in danger, Sasha immediately became alert and prepared to step forward to subdue him.

Tang Yu stopped playing and signaled Sasha to relax and not to shoot.

He looked up at the figure, with short silver hair, a silver nightgown, and even a silver gun.

It was the famous rock boy, Clio Rodion.

Tang Yu looked at Kerry and found that he still missed his big brother Johnny Silver Hands very, very much, otherwise why would his whole body be silver.

He inexplicably remembered a gossip joke, the reason why Kerry broke up with his girlfriend was because Kerry would not interfere.

Tang Yu can't remember who told this joke, it seems to be Jack, and it seems to be Johnny.

Tang Yu didn't bother to study these nonsensical gossips, but just looked at Kerry indifferently, without making a sound.

Kerry held up his gun and stared at Tang Yu suspiciously. Seeing him holding the tomahawk and his expression while playing it, he was inexplicably familiar.

He took a few steps forward, as if he wanted to see more clearly, waved the gun in his hand, and said in a more relaxed tone.

"Keep playing."

Tang Yu smiled helplessly, continued to pretend to be Johnny, and said a little helplessly: "It seems that you still want to inspect the goods, okay."

After speaking, he improvised and played quickly, the fingering was exactly the same as what Johnny taught him at that time.

Back then, he and Johnny were inseparable, and they would play guitar together when they were free.

In addition, his foundation was already very good, and with Johnny's personal guidance, it didn't take long for him to master Johnny's fingering.

The two are inseparable every day, even Johnny's frowns and smiles when he is proud, and his cries and quarrels when he wails and smokes, are very clear.

In short, if Tang Yu wants to play Johnny, he doesn't need to pretend, he can naturally show a Johnny flavor.

And the reason why he came to Kerry, sure that he would agree to hold a concert, was precisely because of Kerry's special affection for Johnny.

Anyway, it's not the first time he has become Johnny. Tang Yu didn't feel that there was anything wrong. It was right to ask Johnny to pay off the debt in advance. After all, he would have to take the risk to get him out of Arasaka later.

Tang Yu quickly completed an impromptu electric guitar performance. After the end, he looked at Kerry indifferently.

I saw Kerry slowly put down the big gun in his hand, his eyes were full of shock, his expression instantly collapsed, and he looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.

He stood there in a daze, with a beard all over his face, as if he hadn't reacted for a while.

A moment of silence.

The corner of Kerry's mouth suddenly twitched into a smile, as if he was talking to himself: "No, hahaha, it's impossible, I must be dazzled, this is just kidding me."

Kerry thought it was because he had inhaled too much. He didn't sleep well at night and had hallucinations. He patted his head heavily, shook his head, and then murmured to himself: "Did you go to hell? , No, this fingering music, it’s you, that’s right, grass, wait a minute”

Kerry tried to calm down the turmoil in his heart, raised his gun again, pointed at Tang Yu, stared at him, and asked doubtfully: "Tell me, what did Silver Hand tell me before he died?"

Tang Yu knew that Kerry would find it difficult to accept it for a while, but in fact, this was not a lie to him. When Arasaka Laixuan came to Night City with a relic chip next year, he would be able to find a way to get the Johnny imprint stored in the chip, which is quite Yu revived Johnny in disguise.

Facing the muzzle of the gun, he said calmly.

"Kerry, you are still a coward, and you still want to inspect the goods at this time."

"Obviously, I'm not wrong. After all, I never miss it."

"Do you want to play another song?"

Sasha stared at the situation in front of him worriedly, for fear that Kerry would shoot and hurt Tang Yu.

Judging from Kerry's slovenly appearance and strange behavior, Sasha wondered if he was mentally unstable. If he got accidentally injured by a fire, she would probably feel distressed to death.

But Tang Yu signaled her not to do anything, so she could only stand aside and worry, almost dying of anxiety.

More importantly, Sasha couldn't understand why Tang Yu suddenly seemed to be a different person. He, who never swears, turned out to be a mess.

Sasha thought, wouldn't this add fuel to the flames and stimulate the other party's sensitive nerves?

If Kerry's anger is aroused, there will be a big mess!
Everything is messed up, messed up!

Tang Yu is not like the previous Tang Yu. Kerry seems to be a psychopath, and Sasha almost jumps up in a hurry.

But Kerry obviously didn't care so much, and he was stunned when faced with a slap in the face, and this feeling was too familiar.

He became more and more unbelievable, even the weird smile gradually disappeared, and gradually became serious.

Kerry stared blankly at Tang Yu, with a flash of expectation in his eyes, and murmured, "You are Johnny Silver Hand"

After speaking, even he himself didn't believe what he said.

"Fuck, hell, this horse riding is definitely a hell, it's absolutely impossible!"

Kerry began to sway uneasily, as if his mind was down, the words Johnny Silver Hand echoed.

"Hehe, I must be drinking too much, it's impossible, hehe"

Tang Yu had long expected Kerry's performance, which was no different from before, and said calmly, "It's unexpected, Kerry."

When Kerry heard this, he cursed, turned around and punched him in an instant, but he didn't expect Tang Yu to catch the punch.

Tang Yu grabbed Kerry's fist tightly, and asked indifferently: "I see, I didn't expect it to be me. You have been waiting for this punch for almost 50 years, right?"

Kerry's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at Tang Yu in shock, completely losing his expression management.

This 'stranger' in front of him, dressed in a suit and style like a nobleman, turned out to be Johnny Silverhand riding a horse!
Kerry felt that his entire world view had exploded, and he couldn't calm down his emotions for a long time.

a long time.

Kerry just regained his strength, put down his fist a little weakly, and cursed bitterly.

"Johnny, I want to fuck!"

　There will be one more later.
