Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 127 Never Die

North Oak Park, Marina Villas Mansion.

At this moment, Kerry was sitting in a mansion of thousands of square meters, his whole mind was in a daze, and the only thing in his heart was "horse selling criticism", not knowing whether to say it or not.

Apparently, the sudden appearance of 'Silver Hand' brought him a huge shock. The big brother who hadn't seen him for almost 50 years suddenly appeared in front of him in this way, and he couldn't accept anything.

It's like hating a person once, hating him for going his own way and not listening to persuasion, leaving behind his thriving career and partners who worked hard together to complete the so-called romance and wantonness in his heart.

Fortunately, he had a great reputation, became a legend in Night City, was remembered by history, and even his name entered the afterlife bar.

But what about the rest of the chicken feathers?

The band broke up, the friends broke up, and Big Brother died so hard to find his ashes.

Kerry hated him, hated him.

But he missed him so much, and thought so heartbreakingly that it took him a long time, but he couldn't get out of this shadow.

In the past 50 years, Kerry has grown from a small follower to a rock star, but what he misses most is the time when he stole the underwear of Big Brother.

But that man is back.

I don't know where it changed, and it came back in a way that I had never imagined.

What a paradox!

Kerry didn't know how to face "Johnny" in front of him, so he just stared at Tang Yu, all kinds of feelings came to his heart, gathered like a sea, and finally turned into a chuckle.

"Ah"

"I didn't expect you to change your taste and put on a company leather suit. This is not like you before, Silver Hand."

Tang Yu nodded in disbelief, saw Kerry's lonely look, and comforted him: "You are still so tacky, spacious golden mansion, expensive super sports car, courtyard that can run horses, laugh to death, besides this music corner Something like that, forget what I told you before I went? Go your own way, Kerry."

Hearing this, Kerry suddenly looked up like an enraged tiger and roared, "Where are you on the horse? Oh, I thought it was 50 years ago, a self-righteous legend, you are so happy, how about everyone? ? Don’t try to teach me to be a man like before, I’ve had enough of this!”

Kerry mocked vigorously, as if venting all the emotions that had been deposited in his heart for many years.

Tang Yu didn't make a sound, just looked at Kerry silently, and he could still scold him, after all, this former little guy rarely had the opportunity to vent in front of Johnny.

After Kerry finished scolding on his own, his temper gradually lost more than half, and he sat beside Tang Yu, shaking his head uncontrollably, and finally seemed to accept this fact helplessly.

He turned his head and looked at Tang Yu again, as if he was relieved, he said hello to his old friend: "How are you doing these years?"

Tang Yu laughed at himself and said: "Soldiers who escaped from the battlefield, old rock stars, how can they live?"

"By the way, I forgot to introduce you. This is Tang, from Arasaka Company."

When Kerry heard 'Johnny' take the initiative to introduce him, he couldn't help but take a closer look at Tang Yu. He looked handsome and well-dressed, and he looked like a noble and rich young master. Not interested.

"Oh, the taste is good, right Tang, I remember, what about her?"

After Kerry finished speaking, he pointed to Sasha. She was standing aside and looking at the two curiously, her eyes full of puzzlement and excitement.

'Johnny' briefly introduced: "Don's bodyguard, you know, people from the Arasaka company like to talk a little bit."

Kerry nodded, and now he has accepted the fact that Johnny has returned, nothing is impossible in this world.

He stood up and invited Tang Yu upstairs to chat.

"Come on, accompany me upstairs to have a chat. I haven't seen you in so many years. If you come to me suddenly, you won't even have a fart."

Tang Yu stood up, hung the guitar back on the wall, and followed Kerry to the second floor.

"I heard that you have been suffering from depression recently. It has been more than half a year. Why, are you still thinking about how to hype and become popular?"

Kerry stepped on the stairs with bare feet, walked upstairs step by step, and replied: "Now people's tastes have changed, and it's not right. They have been brainwashed by those companies, and they can hear something good."

Tang Yu knows that Kerry's career has begun to decline now, and the record company he signed with is not strong enough, so it is inevitable that he will lose a lot of promotion resources.

Just like the three staunch sisters who newly debuted from Kyoto, with Arasaka's strong support and promotion, they are now extremely popular.

"Kerry, you are being cynical. Didn't I start with a small record company back then, and finally those big companies were overthrown by me?"

Kerry felt that after 50 years of 'Johnny', the air of arrogance and arrogance is really not missing at all, and said a little funny.

"What era were you in, and what era is it now, the martial arts band has become a swan song, Johnny, we can't go back."

Speaking of this, Kerry suddenly became a little melancholy. Perhaps the vow that never faded away could not stand the ruthlessness of time.

Sasha followed Tang Yu, listening to their conversation carefully.

It didn't feel right at first, Tang Yu suddenly seemed to be a different person, his words and deeds were completely different from before.

It's still the same Tang Yu, but the arrogance shown by his gestures is really not fake.

Later, Sasha realized when he heard it. Mr. Tang thought of himself as Johnny Silver Hand, and he was talking to Kerry as Johnny Silver Hand.

However, how does Tang Yu know what kind of person Johnny Yinshou is? After all, Johnny has been a legend for decades, and most of the people who know him are probably dead.

Sasha checked the information, and Kerry was a member of the Samurai band and Johnny Silverhand's best friend, so he must be very familiar with Johnny Silverhand.

If Tang Yu wants to hide from Kerry, he must know Johnny better than Kerry, and even treat himself as Johnny.

Unexpectedly, Kerry actually believed such a paradoxical thing. He believed that a person who had been dead for more than 50 years was "resurrected" and came here with another completely strange face.

Especially Tang Yu's tone of "educating" Kerry, Sasha was dumbfounded, and was almost ready to step forward, concerned about Tang Yu's discomfort.

The words that were spoken one by one were really like a different 'person', which looked extremely natural.

Sasha followed the two up to the second floor and came to a small living room.

Two large semi-circular brown leather sofas surrounded a glass round table, which was piled with scattered wine bottles and food scraps.

On the wall not far opposite, hung a giant electronic screen.

Sasha obediently followed behind Tang Yu, and when he saw him sitting down, he stood behind and kept silent.

Kerry slumped on the sofa self-consciously, and then pulled out a bottle of whiskey from the sofa gap behind his waist, and there was only one third of the wine left.

Kerry took two glasses from the table, filled them with wine, pushed one to Tang Yu, and kept one for himself.

Just when he was about to take a sip, he accidentally hiccupped and said with some displeasure: "Made, it's the middle of the night, it's silly to drink just a drink."

Tang Yu joked: "Why, your hands are itchy, and your voice is not right, did the company do anything to you?"

Kerry snorted, and when he mentioned the company, he was a little upset, and he scolded directly: "What kind of bastards say that I am tone deaf and my singing is always out of tune. I have no choice but to implant an electronic throat tube, which makes me talk It's all weird, but singing has indeed become more convenient, these days, even the sound of stepping on a horse can be faked."

Hearing this, Tang Yu also understood why Kerry relied on hype to maintain his popularity. In this era when the company controls everything, even people's hobbies will be changed.

Synthesizing human voice can meet any of your needs, and even a piece of music is fully automated by artificial intelligence AI, and various styles of timbres can be switched at will.

An old stereotype like Kerry relies more on his past fame and status, as well as his past with the legendary Johnny Silverhand.

Whether Kerry admits it or not, his success cannot be separated from Johnny's afterglow.

Tang Yu began to 'educate' the little brother Kerry again, and said indifferently: "So what I said, rock and roll is always a kind of spirit, and those dog*electronic synthesized sounds will never understand. I didn't teach you back then , chasing fame and fortune like a pug."

After Tang Yu finished speaking, he added a few more words: "Kerry, if you listen to my words at 01:30, you won't be confused with the bird you are today. Is it useful to live in such a big house? In the end, you have to rely on depression to gain something eyeball."

The more Kerry heard it, the more it was harsh, and he felt unspeakable dissatisfaction, so he simply put on an indifferent attitude and said: "Yes, yes, you are right, anyway, you are the most amazing legend in the world, and you are the most amazing legend in the middle of the night. You came here to educate me, are you tired? Unfortunately, I thought you really repented, but I was thinking too much, so tell me, what do you want from me?"

At this time, a video was playing on the electronic screen. It was the video of Samurai Band's road show in the park.

Tang Yu also stopped playing tricks with Kerry, and said directly: "Are you interested in having another concert? Don't you want to become popular? A concert that is enough to burn and explode is enough for you to become popular. Maybe it will make you Night City discusses you for half a year."

"Don't worry about the record company, those managers are vampires, just look at what you've done."

Although MSM Records is an old brand, it is still far behind Arasaka Entertainment Front.

Not only the advertisements, but also the exposure rate and the investment in promotion, Arasaka is the leader in this area.

Arasaka's media has contributed a lot to Arasaka's return to Night City and a firm foothold.

A little girl who doesn't even have three full lengths can be used in everything from Kyoto Fire to Night City, which shows how powerful the Arasaka media is.

Kerry's focus is not on this. Whether he can become famous is not the most important thing. When he heard that Johnny wanted to hold a concert, he suddenly regained his energy. He immediately stood up from the sofa, stared at him and asked, "Wow Groove, are you serious, wanting to have a nostalgic concert?"

Tang Yu couldn't wait to see Kerry, and explained again: "It's not a nostalgic concert, but a brand new concert, a concert that can make you explode, a concert that can ignite the building of a biotechnology company."

A concert that ignites the building of a biotech company?
Kerry is a little confused. Having a concert has something to do with the biotech company.

Suddenly, he seemed to recall something. The riot in the company square was caused by Johnny alone.

Johnny held a concert in front of the Arasaka Twin Towers, which then triggered a riot against the company, and he took the opportunity to sneak into the company and play a big guy.

That was Samurai Band's last concert, and it was also the last time Kerry saw Johnny.

Kerry looked at Tang Yu in disbelief, and murmured: "No way, don't you want to do it again, and this time the object is changed to biotechnology, right? Don't you understand yet? Arasaka Tower has been rebuilt , you can blow up the building a hundred times, they can rebuild it a hundred times!"

Tang Yu smiled disdainfully: "Kerry, no wonder you say that you are so good, OK, I can tell you, but I will only say it once, listen."

"I never wanted to blow up a building, or destroy a company, let alone become a legend."

"In the face of this fucking world, when everyone dares to be silent and patient, someone must make the first cry, declaring war on that damned capital and those damned companies."

"This is a war. If no one blows the horn, then it's up to me to let everyone open their eyes to see that no matter how powerful a giant is, it will fall one day."

"Fuck you, Kerry, you don't understand now, but sooner or later you will."

Tang Yu stood up, stared at Kerry, and said again: "Kerry, I'm not living in the past, and I don't have to do anything with the company, but at least this time, I have to let people see, Samurai Band, Never fade away."

Kerry was silent.

He knew that 'Johnny' came back to find him nothing good, and he was against the company again, or playing the same old tricks.

Kerry smiled helplessly: "Hehe, I finally understand. It's been 50 years, and even Raisuan who was riding a horse changed his face and went back to Arasaka. You are still the same."

"It's really reckless, why do I just follow your set, although I don't quite understand your arrogance, but it's really awesome, Johnny, it's really you."

Kerry seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and he was no longer as excited as before, but asked seriously: "So do you have any plans? Or did you have no plan from the beginning, the opening concert, calling on everyone to boycott Is it a biotechnology company, let me guess, I'm afraid it's biotechnology that has caught your bad luck again."

Tang Yu took out a micro-memory chip, which contained the materials he sorted out and merged, all of which were criminal evidence about biotechnology experiments.

"You'll know just by looking at it."

Kerry picked up the chip and put it into the biological nerve slot on the back of his neck without hesitation. After a quick scan, his face became gloomy.

"True riding horses are fun for a group of students."

Tang Yu added: "Now you understand that even after 50 years, the company has not learned any lessons from that explosion."

"Biotechnology doesn't intend to let anyone go. The tribe of wanderers in the bad land and the soldiers retired from the battlefield are all their targets."

The two talked so far, and it was already a real showdown.

Sasha, who had been silent all the time, stood beside him in a daze, thinking of the cause and effect, and instantly understood everything.

Only then did Sasha really understand why Tang Yu asked himself if he wanted to hold a concert.

Thinking of all the atrocities in the bad land and all the crimes of biotechnology, Sasha was really touched. For some reason, a layer of mist gradually covered the world in front of him, and even the figure looking at Tang Yu became blurred.

Kerry finished reading the chip, but still had some doubts: "Aren't you working at Arasaka Company? No, it's because Tang works at Arasaka Company, so it's inconvenient for you to use company means to disclose this information, so you found me. right?"

Tang Yu looked at whether you like it or not, and replied directly: "You can join or not. No one can stop what I want to do. The biotechnology building must be burned, as I said."

"But don't embarrass this matter, he works for Arasaka, don't let him get involved too much."

Tang Yu knew Kerry's feelings for Johnny, and Kerry would never betray Big Brother anyway.

And Tang Yu is not worried about leaking the secret at all. Even if Kerry tells it, as long as he doesn't admit it, who would believe the absurd story of Johnny's ghost returning to possess the high-level executives of the Arasaka company.

If Kerry told Lai Xuan, it would be convenient for Tang Yu. Lai Xuan's prince could not wait, and wanted to steal the relic chip with Johnny's imprint and came to him for verification.

Kerry heard that Johnny cared about other people's feelings for the first time, picked up his glass again, and said, "Why, our Johnny silver hand, when did he change his temper and learn to care about people."

"You actually share the same body with Arasaka's. It's ironic when you think about it. Let me introduce Tang, what is his background in Arasaka? I really can't do it. I'll give Lai Xuan a call. It's okay to take care of one or two."

Tang Yu said frankly: "It's a general mix, that is, the anti-intelligence department, the special operations department of the Arasaka company, and the deputy director of the two departments."

Kerry drank a sip of whiskey, and almost spit out a mouthful of old wine when he heard this.

The deputy minister of the two departments is also a high-level position in the two real power departments of the Counterintelligence Department and the Special Operations Department.

Is this still called a mess?
Kerry said angrily: "Johnny, you came back this time, could it be that you intend to destroy the Arasaka Tower from the inside? It's really amazing. Who would have thought that Arasaka's number one mortal enemy, a super terrorist, would hide in Arasaka Terry, the world is too pissed."

He didn't intend to reject Johnny this time, he just opened the concert, set up a biotechnology company, and burned down a broken building.

He didn't dare to blow up the barren tower, so wouldn't he dare to burn down a building of a biotechnology company? Anyway, he wasn't the one who did it.

"Okay, I'll trust you one more time, come to a concert, and burn down a company building."

Tang Yu joked with a smile: "Kerry, you are enlightened this time, and you have taken the first step to become a real rock star."

Kerry also couldn't help laughing out loud: "I'm just starting to get excited just thinking about it. Burning down the building of a biotechnology company is big news. Fortunately, only you can think of it."

"Tell me, when are you going to do it?"

Tang Yu said in a deep voice: "Just listen to Tang's arrangement, he will take care of the matter, and we will see you then."

Kerry still wanted to say something, but saw Tang Yu's demeanor suddenly changed, completely different from before, with a faint sternness in his eyes.

what's the situation?
Switch souls seamlessly in one second?
Even Sasha at the side felt that the Mr. Tang she was familiar with had returned, always cold and indifferent, with an attitude of not being surprised.

A series of question marks also appeared in her little head, and she couldn't help but start to doubt herself in her heart.

"Is there another soul living in Mr. Tang's body, Johnny Silver Hand?"

Kerry was a little dazed, shook his head trying to wake up, and in the blink of an eye, Tang Yu still had that stern attitude.

He cautiously asked for confirmation, "Are you Tang?"

Tang Yu stood up again, fastened the first button of his suit, and stretched out one hand for a handshake.

"Hello, Cliorodian."

"Introduce yourself."

"Arasaka Company's Counterintelligence Department, Special Operations Department, the deputy directors of both departments."

"Tang Yu."

Kerry: "."
