Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 138 Judy
Liz Bar.

Invited by Evelyn, Tang Yu is going to the underground computer room of Lizi Bar, preparing to experience the super dream of "Crystal Palace".

Evelyn was wearing a small black leather bag on her left shoulder, and she was beside Tang Yu with a smile, and the faint smell of rose perfume wafted around.

As if to appear more caring and tender, Evelyn leaned a little closer to Tang Yu's elbow from time to time.

This soft and caring appearance is completely different from the first time they met.

At that time, Tang Yu had just fired Arasaka Squid, and received an entrustment to meet Evelyn Parker to search for information related to relic biochips.

Evelyn showed a completely cold attitude, rejecting people thousands of miles away, and she was a little dismissive of them who were mercenaries in her words.

In her opinion, cyberpunk mercenaries are just doing things for money, and they cannot participate in higher-level intelligence affairs.

But now Tang Yu's identity is still a high-level executive of the Arasaka company. When I saw Evelyn again, I realized that she still has such a small bird.

Sure enough, he saw who served what dish.

Evelyn, who has experienced a lot of sophistication in the world, has already grasped her senses and knows how to deal with various situations and people with various identities.

Company executives like Tang Yu naturally have to show their true skills, greet each other with a smile, and be gentle.

Tang Yu is very clear about Evelyn's flamboyance. In the final analysis, it is driven by interests, which is not true at all.

Back then, if Laixuan Arasaka hadn't trusted this woman credulously and fell into the land of tenderness, his plan wouldn't have been ruined.

The two left the inner hall of the bar and came to the corridor of the box area. On the right hand side were the gates of boxes.

The two continued to walk through the corridor of the box area with an ambiguous atmosphere, and the leather shoes stepped on the woolen carpet without making any sound.

Tang Yu noticed that the gates of some boxes were not closed, and the holographic projections were hot and dancing lingering in the middle of the box. Inside, there were two people watching super dream movies, or four or five people dancing wildly.

Evelyn's figure was enchanting, and she walked gracefully beside Tang Yu, taking the initiative to lead him in the direction and introduce.

"Mr. Tang, this way."

"Is this your first time at Lizzie's Bar?"

"It's just that with your status, I'm afraid it's hard to catch Lizi's girl."

Tang Yu didn't speak. This woman is really looking for information all the time. If she can develop into an informant of the counterintelligence department, she will be a good hand.

It's just that Evelyn likes to sell the previous home, kick the second home, and then eat it all by herself.

This kind of person is too courageous and easy to overturn, which is completely out of Tang Yu's employment considerations.

As for Lizi's girls, he couldn't knock them all out with one stick. He remembered that besides Judy, there were actually a few good ones.

Seeing Tang Yu's indifferent expression, Evelyn didn't seem to want to talk to her more, but she still didn't give up the opportunity to get something out of it.

"Be careful, there are stairs after the corner."

The two passed the dressing room of Lizi Bar, then opened the floodgate leading to the underground computer room, and walked down the stairs.

Their passing figures caught the attention of the Lizi girls who were putting on makeup.

"Look, look, behind you."

"Don't look back, just look in the mirror."

"Who is that person accompanied by Evelyn? Which noble young man is he climbing up to?"

"I'm not sure, I haven't seen him come to Lizzie before, but this figure and face are completely on my aesthetic point."

"Have you found it? It's still original. This is really rare."

Only when Tang Yu turned and walked down the stairwell did Lizi's girls dare to turn their heads and look at the back of the other party.

Evelyn walked down the stairs first, looked behind her, and said with a light smile: "Mr. Tang, you don't have to pay for it when you come to Liz Bar in the future. I think the girls are looking forward to seeing you."

Tang Yu did not pay for Lizi before, and it is estimated that she will not have to pay for it soon.

Evelyn went on to say: "I want to invite you to experience Crystal Palace Dreams today. Judy can help. She is Lizi's Dreams Experiencer."

"We have a good relationship, and she will always help me. However, I have to tell you in advance that she is from Mox, and she doesn't like you very much."

Tang Yu knew about the previous relationship between Evelyn and Judy. They used to be colleagues and had an ambiguous period.

But in his opinion, Evelyn doesn't really know what kind of person Judy is, and she doesn't know what Judy wants to pursue in her heart.

In other words, the two of them are people from two completely different worlds.

Evelyn is ambitious, and dreams of joining the upper class, dealing with high officials and dignitaries, hoping to make a lot of money.

She chose to leave Lizi and Genting not to make more money for each business, but to take the opportunity to gain access to the powerful and powerful, so as to obtain a pass to the upper ladder.

And Judy is a simple girl immersed in the super dream world, with a simple mind, she always becomes the more serious one in a relationship.

The very different personalities of the two have already determined that they cannot have a future.

Even without the intervention of external forces, Evelyn would inevitably be involved in the vortex, and finally become a victim of the strife of the powerful.

Obviously.

Evelyn is now hard to get out of, and when she mentioned Crystal Palace Chaomeng, Tang Yu has already noticed the clue.

The source of this super dream may not be simple.

The Crystal Palace is an orbital space base station solely owned by Arasaka. Whether it is its rigor or the hidden secrets behind it, outsiders can't just get information casually.

And if Evelyn can obtain this super dream, there must be other giant companies standing behind her.

Evelyn invited him to watch Mewtwo at this juncture, most likely it had something to do with Arasaka Laishou.

He didn't believe that the Mewtwo that Evelyn had prepared for him was really just a high-quality movie.

If this is the case, it can only mean that Evelyn's homework is too poor.

The two passed through the servers in the computer room and stopped in front of an iron gate.

Tang Yu looked at Evelyn and said bluntly: "It's a good way to get Crystal Palace Super Dream."

"The content inside is probably related to Arasaka Yoshinobu, it's too late for you to regret it now."

"I'll take Chaomeng away, and then tell me the source. This can be regarded as never happening."

Evelyn was stunned suddenly, and the smile on her face froze instantly, and she looked at Tang Yu at a loss.

She felt that her thoughts had been seen through, and she had nowhere to hide. The content in Chaomeng was indeed related to Arasaka Yoshinobu.

in fact.

When Evelyn first approached Tang Yu, she was very nervous and not as confident as she appeared.

What she was going to face was a high-level executive of the Arasaka Company and a veteran of the full-time counterintelligence department, who had handled many major cases.

Tang Yu's deeds are not difficult to find out in the Arakasa Tower. Anyone who knows a little bit knows that he is a ruthless character.

This move is very dangerous for Evelyn.

But she had no way out, because she originally wanted to pass Tang Yu's line and catch up with Arasaka Laixuan.

And the power behind her didn't allow her to back down.

Kerry's nostalgic rock concert at the company square and the burning of the biotechnology building are in line with Arasaka's rebellion.

Inexplicably, she felt that there was probably a shadow of Arasaka Yoshinobu in it.

And Tang Yu's urging of this concert has already spread among the high-level people in Arasaka.

The line between Tang Yu and Arasaka Laixuan began to surface.

Evelyn has heard some relevant information through different channels, so she pays more attention to Tang Yu.

She wanted to grasp this possibility, even if there was only one, she couldn't let it go.

A moment of silence.

Evelyn regained her expression, but her tone became obviously weaker.

"Mr. Tang, I didn't expect you to find out so quickly. I really can't hide anything from you."

"Crystal Palace Mewtwo is indeed related to Arasaka Yoshinobu, but I'm sorry I can't do anything, you can only experience this Mewtwo, I can't say anything else."

"Otherwise, trouble will come to you"

Done.

A look of helplessness and grievance appeared on her face, and she stared straight at Tang Yu, as if begging for his tolerance.

Tang Yu didn't believe her nonsense at all.

One of the things Evelyn is best at is kicking off her family and doing it on her own, and even this set of rhetoric is very likely to have been prepared long ago.

Dealing with high-level officials from the Arasaka Counter-Intelligence Department, even faltering about this matter, isn't it just courting death.

If Tang Yu hadn't known that Judy's Chaomeng editorial room was behind the gate, he would probably have drawn his gun to clean up Evelyn by now.

Defrauding Chaomeng, who seems to be unknown to the top management of the Arasaka company, is enough for her to pay the price.

Tang Yu didn't talk nonsense with Evelyn, and said coldly.

"Give you one last chance to think about it and tell your true purpose."

Evelyn was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't expect Tang Yu to be so persistent.

She knew that Arasaka Tower was in the midst of a vortex of struggle, and the senior management of the Arasaka Company was eager to seek various information on the Arasaka family in order to gain a firm foothold in the future power change.

Similarly, Tang Yu was also affected by this vortex. Now that he has learned about Arasaka Laishu, he can still remain so calm, which really makes people feel chilly.

Evelyn couldn't beat him in the end, and was defeated. She took the initiative to explain: "This mecha dream comes from the old acquaintance of Arasaka Yoshinobu. I don't know who is the former member of the Tielianhua Brotherhood."

"The purpose I want is to hope that Mr. Tang can connect me with the business of Raisaka Arasaka."

After finishing speaking, Evelyn suddenly seemed a little frustrated, and she cheered up and continued to explain.

"Mr. Tang, I have learned some of your deeds from other Arasaka company employees. If you are willing to open your mouth and agree to this matter, I believe it will be done."

Approaching Arasaka Yoshinobu.

This statement is quite in line with Evelyn's motivation, but it is obviously not the ultimate goal.

but it does not matter.

Tang Yu just tested her just now to see what else Evelyn had hidden.

She does know something, but obviously not much.

As for the forces behind it, there may be more than one, after all, there are quite a few people staring at Arasaka Company.

The first to bear the brunt is military technology, and he has long coveted Arasaka's soul killer technology.

There is also Ye's Company, which is controlled by blue-eyed people, has long been eyeing the research and development of relic biochips, and dreams of obtaining personality re-engraving technology, as well as the miraculous space that locks up huge digital souls.

In addition, companies such as Kangtao, Gaoke, Dongyue, etc. all want to get a share of Arasaka's profitable business.

With Evelyn's range of contacts, even Raisaka Arasaka dared to climb up, and other company executives were also her goals.

Tang Yu decided to take a look at Chaomeng first. As for Evelyn's own desire to play with fire, it was her business, so she said in a deep voice.

"Meet Judy first and we'll talk."

A flash of surprise flashed in Evelyn's eyes, but Tang Yu didn't expect Tang Yu to let go and was willing to see Chaomeng.

This means that her request is very likely to be successful.

The aperture of her prosthetic eye turned, opened the door of the basement computer room, and the door slowly opened from the middle.

The two walked into the computer room.

Tang Yu didn't even need to lift his eyelids, he knew the layout here like the palm of his hand.

Chaomeng editing workbench, desk case, Chaomeng experience seat transformed from operating table, and wall server in the interior.

I saw that Judy was sitting on an office chair, with the Chaomeng ring around her neck, and the blue prosthetic eye circle was turning, and she was talking to someone, her tone seemed a little sad, mixed with a trace of anger.

"Don't you just ignore them like this? Lizi still has room to accommodate them!"

Obviously.

The other end of the phone refuted Judy's opinion, and she was so angry that she covered her forehead helplessly, her expression extremely lost.

Evelyn yelled softly.

"Judy."

Only then did Judy raise her head from the fingers of both hands, look at Evelyn, and forced a smile on her face.

"Xiao Ai, you are here."

Evelyn nodded slightly. She was always at ease with Judy's work, so she introduced it directly to her.

"Judy, this is Mr. Tang, here to experience Chaomeng."

"Mr. Tang, this is Judy, the most powerful dream experiencer in Night City."

Judy quickly raised her hand to interrupt Evelyn, and smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Xiao Ai, don't be like this, stop blowing."

"I have already compiled the Chaomeng you want."

"Except for some troubles in the audio part, other decoding tasks are not too difficult."

Judy's mood seemed to be much more comfortable because of Evelyn's arrival, and the depression just now had disappeared.

She gently brushed the broken hair on her forehead with her right hand, then looked at Tang Yu with a smile, and said confidently.

"But before the experience, you have to do a parameter calibration for you."

"Only in this way can you ensure the best experience for you, work slowly and carefully, and it's not bad for a few minutes."

Tang Yu looked directly at Judy, trying to find a possibility from her eyes. Perhaps there would be some familiar things hidden deep in her mind.

Judy is still in the off-white T-shirt, with four red rose tattoos on both arms and neck, paired with a one-shoulder denim jumpsuit, which looks full of sass.

She wears a Mewtwo compiling and navigation glove on her right hand. When talking about the Mewtwo experience, she looks like a Mewtwo queen, full of confidence and professionalism.

Seeing Tang Yu staring at him for a long time, Zhu Di suddenly felt a little strange, and the other party looked very serious.

"Why, is this your first time experiencing the original Mewtwo?"

Tang Yu said bluntly.

"My sensory profile."

"Visual sensory signal seven-level frequency division, auditory sensory signal six-level frequency division"

"Emotional reflection parameter 59.4, the perception model is a two-layer neural network"

Zhu Di couldn't help being a little surprised when Tang Yu said the relevant parameters of the sensory file in one breath. It seems that he is someone who understands Chaomeng.

"Well, the sensory file is very detailed, but I have to read it first."

"After all, you are a native brain. If the parameter calibration is biased, it will have some bad effects on you."

She stood up from the leather chair, walked to the Chaomeng chair, and motioned Tang Yu to sit on the chair first.

When Tang Yu saw this somewhat broken Chaomeng chair, he couldn't help but recall the wild things the two of them had done here.

These thoughts flashed by.

He skillfully sat on the Chaomeng chair, half leaned on the back of the chair, and looked slightly sideways at Judy.

Seeing Tang Yu's skillful movements, and there was always an inexplicable taste in his eyes, Zhu Di asked while removing the Chaomeng ring from his neck.

"It seems that you have indeed experienced a lot of super dreams, but believe me, this time will be different."

She leaned closer, put on the super dream ring for Tang Yu, and asked after fixing it.

"How does it feel, tight or loose?"

"If there is no problem, we are ready to start."

Judy adjusted it a little bit, and after confirming that it was correct, she sat back in her office area, and then started debugging on the office computer.

"Hey, watch carefully."

"Not looking at me, but staring at the strobe."

"It may be harsh, but I'm checking your sensory signals."

According to the sensory profile Tang Yu just mentioned, Zhu Di entered the parameters one by one for confirmation.

It was found that the sensory files were completely consistent with his biological nerve signals, and there were no problems in the process of experiencing Mewtwo.

"Hey, your sensory profile is very accurate, did you find an expert to do the debugging for you?"

Tang Yu thought, 'Didn't you help me debug this sensory file? '

He opened his mouth and replied simply: "Well, she is the most powerful dream experiencer in Night City."

Judy smiled, and while typing on the keyboard, she replied: "Ha, there is a chance to introduce me to each other, maybe we can chat."

"Compiling Chaomeng is not an easy job. Now many companies use artificial intelligence to compile Chaomeng."

"But I think that kind of Mewtwo has no soul, no emotion, and cannot compose the most moving Mewtwo."

Evelyn: "cough cough cough"

She stood behind Judy, coughing deliberately with one hand on her hip.

When I saw Judy talking about Chaomeng, it was a bit endless. The key point is that the other party is not an ordinary person, but a high-level executive of the Arasaka company. It is not appropriate for Judy to get in touch with too much.

Evelyn found that Tang Yu had never left Judy's eyes since he entered the room.

And she knew that Tang Yu had never looked directly at herself from the beginning to the end, and now she was staring at Zhu Di so directly, maybe she had other intentions.

Evelyn felt a little sour in her heart. She clearly manipulated countless high-ranking officials to make them obey, but it didn't work when it came to Tang Yu.

Judy is indeed younger, more beautiful, and full of vitality.

But there is not much femininity, just a technical house girl immersed in the super dream world.

Does Tang Yu like this mouth?

Evelyn judged the situation in front of her. For some reason, she regretted bringing Tang Yu to the computer room in the basement.

Judy has always been very friendly to Evelyn's friends, and she has no defense at all.

Judy's eloquent talk was interrupted, and then she smiled shyly: "Don't talk, don't talk, the sensory file has been established, and I saved a few minutes."

Evelyn said in a deep voice: "Let's let Mr. Tang go in and take a look in the Crystal Palace. It will be over soon, okay?"

Judy glanced at Tang Yu: "Get ready to enter Chaomeng."

"Countdown."

"three."

"two."

"one."

As Zhu Di finished counting, the Chaomeng ring in front of Tang Yu's eyes flickered, emitting a dazzling white light.

After a strong sense of dizziness, the whole person woke up as if in another world.

as far as the eye can see.

He was standing on a high platform, and the huge transparent glass cover covered half of the high platform.

Outside the glass cover, there is a vast and silent deep space.

And what he looked up to was the blue planet.

This is the top observation deck of the Crystal Palace Space Station.

Tang Yu is now in the No.1 perspective and cannot perform any operations unless Judy turns on the editing mode for him.

But this Crystal Palace Super Dream experience obviously doesn't need to be so troublesome.

Because the victim, Arasaka Yoshinobu, was standing not far from him to communicate.

Wearing round-rimmed glasses and a sumptuous gold gown, he looked 'on holiday' in the Crystal Palace.

When he communicated, he spoke in Kyoto dialect, but Chaomeng's voice had a built-in translator for interpretation, which did not delay Tang Yu's understanding of the meaning.

Arasaka Yoshinobu was begging for something, with a little excitement and paranoia in his tone.

"I've made it very clear that our father only wanted to dream of his age, and never took our feelings into consideration."

"He imprisoned you in the family compound, thinking that he could protect you like a canary, but he didn't know that this cage has ruined the life you should have."

"We can no longer be pushed forward step by step like this. When the cage is big enough, it can accommodate you and me."

"When the cage is too small, the canaries can also become part of the cage."

The other end of the phone seemed to be trying to explain something, which made Arasaka Laisho even more emotional.

"In this rotten family, the only one I can trust is you, help me this time, I must get that thing."

"As for the rest, just leave it to me."

"please."

"Hua Zi."

Arasaka Yoshinobu didn't care about the people around him at all, and said the name on the other end of the phone, Arasaka Hanako.

After getting the other party's consent, Arasaka Raisuke showed a gratified smile.

Communication hangs up.

Arasaka Laishun walked to the side of 'Tang Yu', looked at the blue planet with him, and murmured.

"Will this plan really work?"

"My father, no, that stubborn old man may not give up so easily."

The voice of 'Tang Yu' seemed a little mechanical, and he couldn't hear its true tone, so he said bluntly.

"To Night City."

"There is the power to resist Arasaka."

　None tonight.
