Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 234 Fuse

Cyan Bi Building, Penthouse Suite.

The house was in a mess, wine bottles, plastic boxes, and worn clothes were randomly discarded on the ground.

Arasaka Yoshinobu was holding half a bottle of wine, leaning against the head of the bed, indulging in the world of alcohol.

His chin was full of beards, and his eyes seemed unwilling and helpless. After taking a sip of wine into his mouth, he slammed the bottle to the ground, glass shards splashed everywhere, and the wine flowed all over the ground in an instant.

After the company square incident, Lai Xuan returned to the hotel suite and never took a step out of the door.

All the plans failed, and all the careful preparations ended up being nothing.

Only after playing the cards in his hand did he realize that it was thousands of times more difficult to deal with the Arasaka Corporation than imagined.

Ye Baixianzhi killed a group of company executives and died in battle, but it did not have the expected earthquake impact on the major companies. Soon after the accident, another group of people replaced the top positions, like mushrooms after a spring rain, and newcomers emerged one after another.

Adam Heavy Hammer was almost scrapped during the war and was on the verge of death. In order to try to renew his life, Lai Xuan handed over the only relic biochip left in his hand, at the cost of giving up the power to Arasaka Michiko, in exchange for resurrection Adam hammered the opportunity.

Lai Xuan once made a promise to Adam Heavy Hammer, even though he was just a murderous war machine under the name of Arasaka Corporation, Lai Xuan never thought of breaking his promise from beginning to end.

He has already foreseen the upcoming future, but he still wants to see Tang Yu, and wants to know why Tang Yu would rather die and be fired from the company than destroy the plan to stop him.

It's just that Tang Yu has disappeared without a trace, and Lai Xuan has no choice but to find this opportunity.

He asked Kerry, but there was still no news from Tang Yu.

Just as Lai Xuan was getting drunk alone in the suite, the front desk informed him that a member of the Arasaka family was visiting.

He stared blankly out of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and saw a team of floating vehicles slowly flying and landing towards the rooftop.

Not long after, a beautiful figure slowly descended the stairs leading to the roof.

"Hua Zi, are you the only one coming here alone?" Lai Xuan got up and walked to the living room, and looked behind his sister. Except for the personal bodyguard Xiao Tian, ​​there was no one else.

Arasaka Hanako came straight to Lai Xuan, seeing his elder brother Lai Xuan's haggard face, stretched out his hand in distress, and caressed his cheek.

"elder brother."

Lai Xuan's frowning brows relaxed a little, and he forced a smile and said, "Huazi, when I have nothing, only you will appear by my side."

After a brief security check, the personal bodyguard Xiao Tian turned aside wisely, walked towards the elevator door, and stood guard against the wall.

Lai Xuan gently held Arasaka Hanako's hand, getting some comfort, and then asked, "Why are you here? Did that old bastard ask you to come?"

Arasaka Hanako nodded calmly: "Father already knows what you did in Night City, maybe you shouldn't be so hasty."

When she helped Lai Xuan escape from the capital, she had earnestly persuaded her, but Lai Xuan had already made up her mind to go and broke up with Saburo Arasaka.

A look of pain and reluctance appeared on Arasaka's face: "I didn't lose to him, I lost to another person"

He never thought Saburo Arasaka won this fight, because that person had never been loyal to Arasaka from the beginning.

Arasaka Huazi supported Lai Xuan to sit next to the sofa, and said seriously: "You mean Tang Yu, right? After the battle in the company square, Arasaka lost news of him, and my father also wanted to know his whereabouts, but it might be too late. "

Lai Xuan felt a little strange, and quickly asked: "Why is it too late, do you mean he is going to do something?"

Arasaka Hanako nodded, and explained the purpose of this trip: "Father is seriously ill now, and the time left may be limited. He specially authorized me to handle this matter and eliminate all potential dangers."

"Compared to your actions, Father is more worried about another level of things. Arasaka Tower in Kyoto has begun to use the independent network built by the company, and even the people living in Kyoto have begun to over-configure the network interface of the prosthetic body. Unique to Arasaka."

Raisaka's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "He is more afraid of that invisible war than triggering a global war. Has he already chosen?"

Arasaka Hanako remained silent and did not deny Lai Xuan's guess.

Lai Xuan sneered again and again: "He really didn't give up the absurd dream in his heart, even if he turned into a ghost, he still wanted to rebuild the glorious world of the old dream that shouldn't have existed."

Arasaka Hanako bluntly persuaded: "Lai Xuan, listen to me this time, go back to Kyoto, everything here will become history, only by going back, you will have the opportunity to achieve everything you want."

Lai Xuan had already guessed that Hanako Arasaka was here to be a lobbyist, and Saburo Arasaka saw the potential threat to Night City, and was already worried.

It's a pity that he didn't get any response when he contacted Ott, which showed that the other party had no sincerity to cooperate.

Perhaps, Otto didn't believe that he could bring down Saburo Arasaka from the very beginning.

At this moment, Arasaka Yoshinobu suddenly felt that he was quite useless. He clearly wanted to destroy Arasaka, but he had to rely on Arasaka's power. In the end, it was just an empty game.

Even though there was a big accident in the company square and Arasaka made such a big fuss, Military Technology and other companies still ignored it.

They were afraid of Arasaka's strength, indulged in vested interests, and were pinched by Arasaka Saburo.

This makes no company willing to really fight Arasaka unless Arasaka takes the initiative.

Arasaka Laixuan smiled bitterly: "Get everything you want? It's not easy, he did this to force Tang Yu out."

This is also the reason Arasaka Saburo was able to drive Tang Yu to do things. Threats with things he cares about are more effective than power and status.

Lai Xuan remembers the encounter at Kerry's house, a person who can play the Samurai band better than the original, is by no means the kind of flattering person who is willing to be a company dog ​​for the sake of fame and fortune.

He understood that Tang Yu cared about the city and the people in the city, so he did everything he could to calm down the conflict.

Now Lai Xuan deeply understands that he can't make the bomb that destroys Arasaka, but it may be the fuse to detonate Tang Yu's bomb.

If Tang Yu is really dead, Night City will be buried with him.

If Tang Yu is still alive, then he has to let Arasaka be buried with him.

Arasaka Lai Xuan took the initiative to stand up, and said in a deep voice: "Huako, let's go back to the capital, as you said, only in this way can I achieve everything I want."

Arasaka Hanako's eyes flashed a strange look, but she quickly covered it up, stood up as well, fetched clothes for Arasaka Yoshinobu, and waited for her to change.

Arasaka Tower, Special Operations Department.

David Martinez received a notification from his superiors to arrange to escort important members of the Arasaka family to the coastal port, and the Kujira aircraft carrier battle group was docked on the shore and waited.

He immediately got up and left the office, summoned the special service team to prepare for departure, and then walked to the armament department to start changing clothes.

The incident came a bit suddenly. Although I had been informed about the general situation in advance, I did not expect that the members of the Arasaka family did not show up at the Arasaka Tower after they arrived in Night City on the aircraft carrier.

According to the company's information, the other party went directly to the Konbi Building, and David guessed that he should be meeting with Arasaka Laishu.

The superior specifically asked David to lead the team to prepare for a long-term field mission. After sending the target person to the aircraft carrier, he still needs to stick to it until the aircraft carrier leaves the port and returns to Kyoto.

David didn't know why they arranged this way. After boarding the aircraft carrier, he could leave as soon as possible, but he had to stay for a while.

soon.

After packing up, he took all the remaining field forces of the Special Operations Department and went to perform the escort mission.

After the company square incident, all departments are in urgent need of field manpower.

Although a batch of additional recruits were recruited in time, the novices were far from meeting the field needs.

Before leaving, he reported a letter to Gloria, expressing that he would go out for a while.

After getting it done, he led the team and set off directly.

The news that the Kujira aircraft carrier battle group arrived on the west coast spread like wildfire throughout Night City, and everyone was guessing what Arasaka's intentions were.

The major news media are also reporting on this matter one after another. The dispatch of the aircraft carrier battle group in the absence of a war must be pointed out by the sword.

Tang Yu watched some news while eating breakfast, while Sasha was busy preparing delicious snacks. It's been a long time since I saw you. Sasha's craftsmanship is getting better and better.

After returning to the apartment, he had already discovered many secret agents and spies from major companies.

Tang Yu didn't intend to hide the fact of returning to Night City. Now the whole city is on the brink of war. The major companies have just experienced major accidents, and the sequelae have not been digested, so they dare not act rashly.

Even an aircraft carrier capable of nuclear strikes has arrived. In addition to deterring the wandering AI, this is also a necessary means for Arasaka to force him to show up.

Tang Yu understood that the aircraft carrier was docked on the west coast, and did not go to the port of Arasaka Binhai Industrial Park, and assumed a posture of nuclear explosion of Night City at any time. This was a signal that Saburo Arasaka wanted to see him.

Either Arasaka Saburo himself is on the aircraft carrier, or Arasaka Hanako is waiting with the Saburo relic biochip loaded.

Before going to see Saburo Arasaka, Tang Yu had to meet Aunt Mei first to see the attitude of military technology.

If Military Technology is also willing to drive its own aircraft carrier to Kyoto, then he will have more room to negotiate with Saburo Arasaka.

Even without Arasaka Saburo's arrangement, Tang Yu couldn't let the AI ​​outside the black wall of Otto ignore it.

The information Lucy brought back from the cyberspace is very important, and Otto is still growing infinitely, and released a "friendly" signal of cooperation, letting Lucy go.

Tang Yu thought, relic biochip function activation technology must be firmly in his own hands.

Even if Ott and other AIs want to reappear in the human world, they have to look at him first, and limited cooperation is the way to win-win.

He specifically told Rogge that Johnny's soul imprint had been activated before he finished dealing with Arasaka's matter, and he must not let anyone know about it.

Now Rogge has taken Johnny to drive to complete their unfinished journey of regret, just sent him a photo, and punched in the open-air theater.

Just thinking of this, Tang Yu received a message from V.

[V: Such a big bar, Rogge just threw it to me, and ran away to be chic? ? ?Anyway, if you are idle all day, you are idle. If you really can’t, you can come and help. 】

Tang Yu: "Please, please consider it hard."

【V: "Hehe, I call you a good brother, do you dare to agree?"】

[V: I might as well find Lizi's proprietress Gloria to gain some experience, bye. 】

　PS: Nothing tonight!
