Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 135 My
A black Delaman commercial taxi is driving slowly on the empty road.

In the black leather upholstered carriage, the bald Delaman on the electronic screen mechanically asked, "Mr. Tang, are you going to Pier [-] of Night City Bay?"

Tang Yu sat in the back row of the car seat and said in a deep voice, "Let's go directly."

Delaman automatically navigated to the destination, started the vehicle and prepared to set off, and at the same time suggested with concern: "Mr. Tang, the weather is light and rainy today, the temperature outside is low, and the gulf pier is cool and windy. Delaman can provide you with a raincoat."

Tang Yu rejected Delaman's 'kindness', and instead reminded: "Lao De, concentrate on driving."

Delaman closed his mouth wisely and stopped speaking.

Sitting in the warm and comfortable carriage, Tang Yu looked through the window, and it was drizzling outside, and the raindrops dripped on the window, gradually covering it with a layer of mist.

He went to Pier [-] of Night City Bay today because of Kerry's strong invitation, saying that he had to meet and had something to say.

Kerry also chartered a yacht specially for this purpose, waiting for him in the bay.

Tang Yu was familiar with Kerry before, and he knew that his orientation was somewhat open, and he never forgot his big brother Johnny.

Think so.

He really doubted whether the relationship between Kerry and Lai Xuan would be open.

After all, the two eat supper together, and they both love rock and roll, and it is estimated that they often talk about silver hands together, which can definitely be regarded as similar.

But these are still speculations, and can't really be counted.

Tang Yu didn't intend to go through Kerry to catch up with Arasaka Laixuan's line.

Because the hole cards he has are enough to convince Arasaka Yoshinobu, there is no need to involve Kerry in the internal struggle of the Arasaka family.

He's just a rock n' roll kid, and there's no gain in getting involved in the power game.

Probably this is also the reason why Johnny didn't choose to bring Kerry with him when he nuclear-bombed Arasaka Tower.

Johnny is still very measured in this matter, and he is very clear about which friends to do and which things to do.

Also.

The riot in the company square would not have achieved the effect he wanted without Kerry's promise to hold this nostalgic rock concert.

He pretended to be Johnny to persuade Kerry. Although he succeeded in helping Kerry become popular, he still 'deceived' Kerry after all.

Kerry's big brother, Johnny Silverhand, doesn't really come back to him.

Faced with this invitation from Kerry, Tang Yu must go to the appointment, and some things must be explained clearly.

At Kerry's request, Tang Yu went alone and did not bring Sasha out.

He leaned back on the car seat, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and couldn't help but start thinking about some recent events in his mind.

Especially the riot in the company square made Tang Yu think a lot.

Even though the riots successfully burned half of the biotechnology building, the company's fundamentals have not been shaken.

The foundation of a giant company is far from being easily destroyed by a riot.

Also.

Many forces have obtained the benefits they want in this riot.

From the overall point of view, the influence of this riot is indeed very limited.

But for Tang Yu, the whole thing and plan was successful because it fulfilled the meaning behind it.

Not only solved the mystery of Sasha's past and fulfilled her wish, but also burned down half of the biotechnology building, giving everyone a sigh of relief.

The most important thing is that those who participated in this incident unknowingly stood on the same front and gradually united together.

Tang Yu's goal from the beginning was not to burn down biotechnology companies, but to unite people through this matter.

And to send a signal to more people that the company is not indestructible, at least unite more people, and it is possible to fight against the company.

just.

This force is too weak, even though Tang Yu gathered multiple forces to cause the riot, it was still a 'small fight'.

Put on a concert, start a fanatical riot, burn down a company building.

For Kerry, for Gloria, for Sasha, for Mann and the others, these things are probably already big enough to remember for a lifetime.

But for Tang Yu, it's really not an achievement.

then.

He teamed up with Arasaka Yoshinobu to launch the fifth corporate war, and half of the world was involved in the flames of war.

But the strength of the company is far beyond imagination, and the counterattack force launched is unprecedented.

When the tigers and wolves of the capital really opened their eyes and exposed their sharp claws, the suffocating sense of oppression made it impossible to hide.

Time has become more and more pressing, the road has to be walked step by step, and everyone still needs time to grow.

Tang Yu exhaled lightly, trying to get his thoughts back on track.

Michiko has given him an errand to clean up the Tiger Claws so they can really work for her.

Tang Yu knows a lot about the Tiger Claw Gang. As a minion of the Arasaka Company, he often does dirty work for the Arasaka executives.

It is true that Arasaka is standing behind the Tiger Claw Gang, but there are factions in the high-level Arasaka who control the Tiger Claw Gang.

According to Michiko, most of the members of the Tiger Claw Gang are from Kyoto, and they have a close relationship with the Arasaka family in Kyoto.

Although Xiao Michiko can order the Tiger Claw Gang to work, she doesn't trust the people inside.

She didn't speak too clearly, but just assigned Tang Yu to clean up the Tiger Claw Gang.

Tang Yu guessed that the Tiger Claw Gang might not buy Michiko's face very much, and even deliberately opposed her.

Most of the members of the Tiger Claw Gang are from Kyoto, and they follow the traditional spirit of respect and inferiority, and have always only obeyed Arasaka orthodoxy.

Although Xiao Michiko sits in the night city of Arasaka Tower, she doesn't have the sincere approval of the Tiger Claw Gang executives.

However, Michiko could understand that what she wanted was to be obedient to the Tiger Claw Gang in Night City, not to control the entire Tiger Claw Gang.

The Tiger Claw Gang in Night City is just one of many gangs.

Even so, the Tiger Claw Gang in Night City is a force that should not be underestimated. Its sphere of influence covers many areas of Night City, and it is extremely arrogant.

This gang of bosozoku gangsters from Kyoto is incompatible with the Mox gang.

Most of the profits of the Tiger Claw Gang come from the black industry, so they are eyeing the girls on the street.

Once Tang Yu took Judy to chop to the lair of the Tiger Claw Gang, and solved those guys with tattoos all over their faces.

But it didn't take long for a new batch of Tiger Claw Clan executives to succeed, and the entire hall activities were not affected at all.

and so.

Tang Yu wanted to make the Tiger Claw Gang obedient, not just a massacre, he had to put chains around the necks of these guys to point and bite.

He can almost foresee now that Michiko is so eager to consolidate her power, most likely because of Lai Xuan's arrival, Lai Xuan's arrival in Night City is a foregone conclusion.

After all, the tiger has been trapped in the cage for a long time, and when it comes out, it will eat people.

With Lai Xuan's temperament, if he finds an opportunity to escape from Kyoto this time and comes to Night City, he must be prepared to break openly with Arasaka Saburo and compete for supremacy.

Even though Arasaka Tower, Night City is only the North American branch, it can compete with Arasaka Headquarters in Kyoto in terms of status and strength.

This Arasaka Tower hides too many secrets.

This night city has the power to resist Arasaka.

Delaman's special car slowly arrived at Bay No. [-] Pier, parked on the side of the road, and reminded.

"Mr. Tang, the destination you specified has arrived."

Only then did Tang Yu open his eyes, and ordered Delaman to stop here and wait for him to come back, then opened the door and got out of the car.

He stood at the pier of the bay, facing the salty, wet and cold sea and wind. He raised his eyes to look at the vast sea, with slightly undulating waves, shrouded in a cloudy sky.

There are many expensive and luxurious yachts docked beside the wide pier.

It may be due to the weather. On days without sun, there are significantly fewer people driving yachts out to sea.

Tang Yu got up and walked towards Pier No. [-], and soon saw a private yacht parked on the shore, already waiting on the shore.

Kerry stood on the deck of the yacht, with one foot on the fence of the rail, and when he saw Tang Yu coming, he beckoned and smiled.

"Don, this way!"

Tang Yu looked and saw that Kerry still had the iconic short silver hair, wearing a black denim jacket, several gold necklaces around his neck, holding his favorite Tomahawk guitar, standing on the deck of a white private yacht, waving his hands Shouting to him.

He walked to the edge of the pier and stepped on the steps to the yacht deck.

After boarding.

Kerry invited Tang Yu to walk to the bow, talking while walking.

"Don, thank you very much for coming. Let's go around the bay today."

As he spoke, Kerry sat directly on the soft leather sofa on the deck, and then picked up the Tomahawk guitar.

Tang Yu sat on the other side of the soft leather sofa and said bluntly: "You're welcome, you seem to be in a good mood today."

He remembered that this luxury yacht seemed to be owned by Kerry's agent, and that group of guys made a lot of money by squeezing Kerry.

At that time, Johnny insisted on playing with the little brother Kerry, and several people burned the boat directly on a whim.

Unexpectedly, he sat on this yacht again in the blink of an eye, but he and Kerry were the only ones left, Johnny and Mrs. V hadn't come yet.

With both legs on the sofa, Kerry leaned on the back of the sofa and said with a smile, "I'm really in a good mood. Since you taught those vampires a lesson, my life has become much easier."

Tang Yu knows that MSM Records will not let Kerry, the cash cow, but at least he will be honest.

As a former rock star, Kerry signed a contract with MSM Records, and all aspects of record production, promotion, sales, etc. are in the hands of the record company.

As a singing artist, he can only obey and cooperate unconditionally. Even if he knows Arasaka Yoshinobu, the friendship between the two is limited to rock and roll.

As the prince of the Arasaka company, Yoshinobu Arasaka has met many friends, and he is still far away in Kyoto, so it is even more impossible for him to take care of Kerry.

Tang Yu said casually: "It's good to be honest, the boss of the MSM record company, he traveled thousands of miles to find my old boss to intercede."

"Nowadays, the Arasaka entertainment industry is also making great strides, and it's no less capable of making stars than those old record companies."

Kerry played a few chords casually, changing from the previous flamboyant and manic style, it seemed a bit gentle and soothing.

In the past, when Kerry heard this, he would probably feel irritable again, but today he seemed very relieved, and said with some teasing.

"Isn't that right? The hottest group right now is a super idol girl group from Kyoto. I have never heard of the songs they sing."

"Later, someone told me that those three bastards even sang my song, which almost made me sick."

"My cowardly manager, I don't even dare to fart, knowing that the other party is an entertainer under Arasaka Company."

"But to be honest, this concert didn't affect your work, right?"

When Tang Yu heard that Kerry mentioned the combination of the idol girl group, he immediately thought of the three sisters, a strong group.

These three cherry blossom girls were fans of Kerry back then, and later Tang Yu also took action to solve the trouble between Kerry and them.

It seems that the two record companies have reached an agreement, and they want to hold a joint concert without telling the artists of their respective companies on their own initiative.

When Kerry learned that he was working with the three of them, he was almost outraged. He thought that the Gang Lie group was a thief in the music industry. They relied on covers of his songs and capital to become popular, without any musical literacy.

Unexpectedly, after Kerry met the three staunch sisters, he was fascinated by Krisan one by one.

Later, the joint concert was very successful, and Tang Yu also got to know the three girls, and even had a relationship with the singer named Lanyue among them.

Of course, this matter cannot be hidden from Mrs. V, but at that time the two were still 'brothers', fighting together all day long, and they didn't expect so many episodes to happen later.

Tang Yu didn't intend to hide anything about the Arban Tower. After all, Kerry was just an outsider, so he said bluntly: "It has some influence. The building in the Arban Tower is full of human spirits, and every little bit of wind and grass spreads like a god."

After listening to it, Kerry laughed heartily: "It is estimated that after the concert and the riot, many people thought we had something to do, and I dominated the news, entertainment, gossip and other headlines for many days. "

"Before, I thought that if I became popular, I would become happy, or it would make me feel more secure."

"Now, I understand that everything is wrong. To be honest, these so-called headlines and traffic are meaningless to me."

That concert, and the company plaza riots that followed, had catapulted Kerry into the music scene.

Many entertainment media praised the return of the former rock boy, who used music to awaken people's long-silent fanaticism and shouting.

With the help of the current mayor, Lucius Lane, Kerry has become the representative of "freedom" against the company and authority in Night City.

Wherever he goes, he will be warmly welcomed by people, and countless spotlights will be refocused on him.

Tang Yu knows that what heals Kerry's heart is not fame and wealth, but his favorite rock and miss Samurai band.

"You can't say that. After becoming popular, at least you don't have to pretend to be depressed to hype traffic."

"However, I'd like to persuade you to some extent. You can really consider cooperating with the three Ganglie sisters."

"After all, whoever is a celebrity will think that he is too popular, so don't let it cool down after a while, and regret it later."

Kerry couldn't help laughing again, and said bluntly: "Haha, there are so many people who are popular and right and wrong, and they will be cold when they get cold. Forget it, don't mention these bad things."

"Don, don't mess with me. I want to invite you to have a chat today. Let's go and go to the bay."

Say it.

Cree's eye circles turned, and he controlled the yacht to leave the port and head towards the bay.

"Uh, wait for me to find out where the departure switch is, um, I found it."

"Wizard, let's go!"

The voice just fell.

The luxury yacht slowly left the shore and headed towards the sea.

The two paraded on a luxury yacht on the slightly undulating sea.

Kerry gently played the priceless Tomahawk guitar with one hand and hummed a little tune.

"I have never had such a burst of inspiration like today. It seems that there are endless songs in my mind, and I can make up a paragraph by humming it casually."

"Honestly, Tang, I really want to thank you for that concert, at least it made me find my former self."

"After almost 50 years, I realized that the cycle of life has gone round and round until today."

Looking at Kerry's wanton and free and easy appearance, Tang Yu should have figured out a lot. That concert has a very profound meaning to Kerry.

Let him find the boy who loved rock and roll 50 years ago, back to the days when he formed a team with Johnny to hold a concert.

Kerry, who is over half a century old, is qualified to say something.

Ye Qing back.

Kerry's eyes were deep, he looked towards the horizon, and said with a sigh: "I used to live in Johnny's place for a long time, and I saw him become more dazzling day by day. It can be said responsibly that no one is brighter than Johnny." Fit for rock and roll."

"Johnny saved rock and roll, and he saved me. I wouldn't have survived a day without him."

"How good is our relationship, I'm not even afraid of your jokes. I even sneaked through Johnny's penis."

"So, after Johnny left, he was completely burned into my brain. I really wanted to get him out, but I couldn't."

"I found out that what I'm afraid of is not losing fame or popularity, or being misunderstood by someone, but relying on idol girl groups to gain popularity."

"You may not understand, but what I'm really afraid of is living in Johnny's shadow, whatever I sing or do."

Tang Yu felt that Johnny's personality was indeed too irresponsible to Kerry.

Johnny is ruthless by nature. He never considers anyone's feelings when doing things. As long as he can achieve his goal, he will be desperate.

At the youngest age in his life, Kerry met a rock star uncle who was full of confidence and masculinity, and it was normal to worship him.

In Night City, no one will teach Kerry how to behave in the world, everything depends on feeling.

But at that time, Johnny always just regarded Kerry as a little brother, and his mind was full of *turning over the barren tower.

It can be said that Johnny misses the word Arasaka more than his ex-girlfriend Rogge and Ott combined, and he has no time to take into account the little sensitive little brother Kerry.

Tang Yu said in a deep voice: "Don't be so frustrated, at least you're doing well without Johnny."

Kerry heard Tang Yu's painless comfort, but thanked him helplessly.

"Yes, I became a household star in Night City by myself, released albums, bought a villa, and bought a luxury car."

"Now, I'm popular again."

When Kerry said this, his emotions became a little excited.

"I feel that I have new inspiration to write songs and release albums. You must know that my first song was composed on the sea."

"That song became Samurai's hit single, and even Johnny couldn't write it."

When Kerry said this, he couldn't help but stopped again.

Unexpectedly, after all the talk, it came back to Johnny.

He was silent for a moment, stopped playing, looked closer at Tang Yu and asked, "Actually, Johnny didn't come back, right?"

Obviously.

Kerry had long suspected that Tang Yu was impersonating Johnny, but it was so similar that Kerry would rather believe the fact that Johnny came back.

But now.

Kerry has made up his mind to get out of Johnny's shadow and embrace life with a new attitude.

Tang Yu stretched out his hand and motioned for Kerry to hand over the Tomahawk guitar.

Kerry looked at the Tomahawk guitar in his hand, then handed it to Tang Yu, and said at the same time: "Lancaster, specially customized, I have one here, and the military technology boss has one."

Tang Yu took the guitar and flicked the strings a few times, making bursts of electronic sounds.

"I know."

After finding out the pitch, he began to play casually, with flexible and changeable fingering, and it sounded like Johnny's favorite rhythm.

There was a look of surprise in Kerry's eyes, and he asked with a smile: "Sure enough, it's exactly the same to be able to play so well, even I was fooled."

While playing, Tang Yu said, "Johnny will come back, and you will wait for the day when the Samurai band really regroups."

Will Johnny come back?

Kerry froze suddenly, and just looked at Tang Yu quietly, without saying a word.

He knows that Tang Yu is not a person who talks nonsense. Since he said that Johnny can come back, he must know something.

and.

Tang Yu, him and Johnny are not from the same era at all.

He was able to practice Johnny's playing and fingering exactly like Johnny, I'm afraid Johnny himself would say shit when he came.

Kerry felt that Tang Yu must have some kind of close relationship with Johnny to know Johnny so well.

in fact.

When Kerry figured it out and guessed that Tang Yu was pretending to be Johnny, he was still a little more lonely after all.

He really wanted to see Johnny so much, so he was willing to believe in Tang Yu, and agreed to hold that risky concert.

Kerry has already found himself in the concert and rekindled the rock and roll blood in his heart.

Kerry really doesn't need Johnny now, but when Tang Yu said that Johnny could come back, he still couldn't help the emotion in his heart.

Kerry suddenly turned over from the deck sofa and stood up, reached out to Tang Yu for the guitar, and said with a smile: "Today, I want to say goodbye to the past, give me the piano, let me smash her to pieces, and then we will be together again Burn the wreck."

Holding the priceless Tomahawk guitar in his arms, Tang Yu looked at Kerry a little puzzled: "Farewell to the past, why smash the guitar and burn the yacht?"

Kerry explained a little excitedly: "Like fire and wine, like riots, like burning a company building, we have to have a fight, so that we can bid farewell to the past!"

He was very excited when he said it, but seeing Tang Yu's indifferent appearance, he was a little puzzled, thinking that Tang Yu was worried about the yacht and the guitar, and said again.

"Don't worry too much. The company is burned. What's the point of burning a yacht? This yacht belongs to my agent. The guitar is too old and it is already an antique. If you want it, I'll give you a few when you go back. Pick, they are all collector's editions."

"Don't you want to smash everything?"

"Do not want to."

Tang Yu said indifferently: "Just give me this guitar. As for this yacht, it is mine now. I don't think your agent should have any objections?"

Kerry: "."
