Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 19
Tang Yu was calm and waited quietly for Mann and others to read the contents of the chip.

It was only after Mann understood the situation that he truly realized how dangerous this cooperation was.

This mission not only involved the disputes among the high-level officials within the Arasaka Company, but also the struggle between the Arasaka Company and military technology. Although Mann did not know what Tang Yu encountered in the company, it was obviously an endless game.

Mann no longer had the irritable temper just now, and finally calmed down and decided to have a good talk with Tang Yu. Even if he wanted to quit now, it was too late. Knowing intelligence often means entering the game, and the key is a high-end game of life and death.

Mann has been doing cyberpunk for so long, and he has long been accustomed to the way that the middleman pays for his own work, but asks the right and wrong behind the task, and is the purest worker.

Sometimes he would complain that the middleman did not tell him the background of the mission, which led to various accidents in the operation, but today he started talking about such a big matter, and he felt the pressure on his shoulders. The two largest companies in the city were encircled and suppressed.

Tang Yu saw that Mann's psychology was beginning to be under pressure. After all, it was impossible for the team to be the only one who charged forward, regardless of the life and death of other members, so once the task was accepted, it was to tie their lives together. Any decision made by the core of the team would be Affects the survival of the entire team.

Mann asked in a deep voice: "We have already understood the content, so please tell me what to do."

Tang Yu also collected his mentality, and his expression gradually became serious. He has always looked down on company dogs, but it doesn't mean that he despises these dogs and goes crazy to bite people without pain.

"The main purpose of our cooperation this time is to achieve a win-win situation."

"I'll help you whitewash the military-grade Sian Weistan from under the noses of Arasaka and Military Technology. In the future, in their files, the note of this prosthetic body will be destroyed, and you don't have to be targeted by the company after installing it." The little white mouse on it."

"Secondly, you need to use this prosthetic body to help me lure out Arasaka's targets and military technology personnel. Whether you are going to sell it to the Vortex Gang or the Scavengers, as long as you make some noise on the bright side, the company's People will swim over like a shark smelling blood, and after that, you only need to take things to trade, and don’t worry about the rest.”

Mann was still a little puzzled and asked, "What if there is a fight?"

Tang Yu stared at Mann quietly and said.

"Take out your most ruthless guy and let those company dogs taste your power."

"Companies generally conduct such actions in secret and will not publicize them."

"Even if a few agents die, it can only be attributed to the failure of the mission, not to the point where NCPD and the others end."

"But you have to remember that after today, we will no longer have any contact until the end of this cooperation."

"I'm done."

"See if you agree or disagree."

After listening to Tang Yu's arrangement, neither Mann nor Dorio expressed acquiescence without objection, and Lucy on the bay window did not say a word from beginning to end, but she knew that she had to end this three-party contest.

After discussing the matter, there was no objection. Mann clenched his big iron-like fist, then stood up and said, "Since the negotiation is settled, let's follow this plan, and the task I received from Mann will definitely be completed. I hope you can abide by your promise." .”

Tang Yu also stood up and fastened the first button of his suit, and said with a smile: "It's a pleasant cooperation. After the matter is completed, I will introduce you to a reliable prosthetic doctor for installation. I believe you will hear his name very well." would refuse."

"Remember to return the other money to Gloria, after all, this prosthetic body is a deal between her and you."

Mann snorted as he agreed. After completing this dangerous mission, it was equivalent to his work for nothing. The team members had to risk their lives and deaths with him, and the rewards had to be paid by themselves. It was inevitable that he felt a little depressed, but He was really eager to put on this prosthetic body.

After the discussion between the two sides ended, Mann took Dorio and left the apartment.

Just when Tang Yu also got up and walked to the door of the apartment to leave, he heard Lucy ask lightly.

"How do you want to settle the account you said?"

Tang Yu stood in front of the opened apartment gate, stopped and replied.

"You stole my chip, but you sent me an information in advance, and then facilitated this cooperation. We have already settled the company's account."

Lucy still just looked out the window: "As far as I know, the company's people are not so easy to deal with."

She felt that the other party must have discovered that she was specifically targeting Arasaka Company to steal chips. Such a move obviously had a strong hostility towards Arasaka Company. As a high-level employee of Arasaka Company, it would never be so simple.

Tang Yu said helplessly: "I'm different from them. At least I have my own ideas, instead of really being a company dog. The company's accounts are settled, but the act of stealing is really offensive."

Lucy suddenly laughed softly and said, "Heh, if you hadn't been staring at me in the car, I wouldn't have been discovered. I don't think it's too much to steal a chip from you."

Tang Yu suddenly recalled that it seemed that he had indeed stared at the other party for a few times first, but he did not expect this detail to be caught.

The silver-haired girl didn't care at all, and continued to speak with indifferent eyes.

"You are indeed different from people in other companies. The reason why I stole your chip is because I found out that the content of your conversation involved that prosthetic body, and Mann happened to be looking for these prosthetic bodies all the time, but I didn't expect your identity"

Tang Yu turned to look at the silver-haired girl sitting on the bay window, and took up the conversation jokingly: "I didn't expect the company's executives to take the public suspension train. Judging from your reaction at the time, it seemed that it was the first time I stumbled."

Lucy turned her head to look at Tang Yu, with a little vigilance and coldness in her eyes.

"Know why I think you're different from the other company dogs?"

Tang Yu put on a posture of listening attentively.

Lucy stared at Tang Yu with neon eyes, and said slowly: "You are more dangerous and deadly than them"

silence.

A moment of silence.

Tang Yu didn't know how he left such an impression on the other party, and how he felt more and more like a company villain after his rebirth.

"You are too comfortable in the company, manipulating people's hearts and manipulating the situation, everyone is just a pawn in your eyes."

"You come from a big family background like yours. The beginning of life is the pinnacle. You have been in the top management position of Arasaka Company at a young age. Of course, you have never experienced the feeling of falling into hell."

"You can hate the company, you can even fight against the company, but you can't do without the company. The company has given you all the power you have now, and that high status, isn't it, Mr. Tang?"

Hearing Lucy's opinion of himself, Tang Yu had no choice but to relax his mind and laugh at himself: "Then I will take it all as a compliment to me, at least I did a good job."

Tang Yu doesn't want to entangle this matter anymore. He can't burn the company dog's skin for the time being, but he doesn't have the time to explain it to a cyberpunk who just met and has strong hostility towards Arasaka Company.

At least in his life he had a clear distinction between love and hate, happy love and hatred.
