Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 236 A Free Man

"Yesterday, the director of foreign relations of the military science and technology company issued a public statement that the military science and technology has organized two aircraft carrier formations to go to the international waters of Kyoto Bay to conduct joint military exercises."

"The Kyoto side has not made a statement on this matter. The outside world suspects that military technology is responding to Arasaka's deterrence, and dispatched the Kujira aircraft carrier to the west coast. The temperature of the confrontation between the two sides has increased."

"Affected by this incident, the global stock market has been in turmoil, and the price of gold has risen again. All countries have expressed that they will pay close attention to the further development of the situation."

Tang Yu stood in front of the electronic mirror screen, straightened the black tie, checked it a little, and put on a neat shirt and suit.

Sasha was a little curious. It was the first time Tang Yu had a straight suit after he came back these days, and he dressed like he used to go to work. He couldn't help asking curiously: "Mr. Tang, what's the matter today?"

As she said that, she also changed into the uniform skirt that she seldom wears, matching it with a white shirt and stockings.

Tang Yu glanced at Sasha, and explained with a smile: "Let's go to the Arasaka Tower and do something."

Sasha opened his mouth in surprise. Although he probably guessed that Tang Yu was going back to the company when he changed his clothes, when he heard Tang Yu's confirmation, he still felt a little bit in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Go to work in Arasaka Tower? But."

She wanted to say that Tang Yu had broken up with Arasaka Company a long time ago, and going to Arasaka Tower now is not equivalent to throwing himself into a trap.

After Tang Yu came back, she felt that all kinds of behaviors that did not conceal her identity were very dangerous. Now there are too many people and forces staring at him, but Tang Yu just behaved as if he didn't care.

Tang Yu touched Sasha's cat's head and said patiently: "Don't worry, I'm just suspended, not fired."

He still has enough use value for Arasaka now, and this value is far higher than the damage he caused to Arasaka.

Today he, Tang Yu, is going to return to the company in the most aboveboard way. As a company assistant, Sasha can naturally follow along.

Tang Yu knew that if she didn't bring Sasha, maybe her little head was thinking too much.

After the two finished packing, Sasha turned and ran to the living room to pick up the "Dragon Fist" on the table, trotted over and handed it to Tang Yu.

Tang Yu took the glasses and put them on, logged back into the original account, and a line of personal information appeared in front of him.

【Tang Yu】

【Date and Time: 2077】

【Employee Number: NC77】

[Employee level: M10]

【Department Position: Minister of Public Relations】(suspended)

[Message reminder: You have been suspended from all duties, please wait for the next notice for reinstatement]

The message of Tang Yu re-logging into the account was immediately responded to the top floor of Arasaka as the top secret of Arasaka.

at this time.

Kujira aircraft carrier, in a luxurious spa treatment cabin.

Arasaka Laixuan is leaning against the fake rock, enjoying the soaking in the hot spring water. It seems that he has thought of a better way out, so he has the leisurely mind to relax here. There is a slight smile on his face inadvertently, and he seems to be in a good mood and comfortable extreme.

Just as he was enjoying with his eyes closed, he suddenly heard someone coming in from outside the gate and let out a soft drink.

The kimono maids who served Lai Xuan saw the person coming, they all pulled up their clothes, bowed their bodies and walked out quickly with small steps.

Arasaka Yoshinobu picked up the glasses next to him, wiped off the fog with a towel, and just after putting them on, Hua Zi said in a deep voice.

"Tang Yu is ready to go back to the company, and he has logged into the company account again."

Lai Xuan smiled when he heard the words, and was a little surprised by Tang Yu's actions. There had been intelligence showing that Tang Yu had returned to Night City, but whether he would return to the company was really an unknown.

What he can now confirm is that the approach has worked.

Whether it is the threat of nuclear weapons or his own preparation to go back to 'inherit' the reunification, Tang Yu has to make new choices.

"Then did he go to the Arakasa Pagoda?" Lai Xuan stood up directly from the hot spring pool, without paying any attention to Hua Zi who was standing beside him.

Arasaka Hanako was wearing a one-piece off-the-shoulder white dress, with her hands folded in front of her belly, seeing Lai Xuan stand up, she knelt down with her knees together, and picked up a clean blanket from the wooden table on the ground.

She got up and approached Lai Xuan slowly, gently draped the blanket over his shoulders, and then said: "I haven't returned to Arasaka Tower, but it should be soon. According to the instructions of my father, it is best to take him to Kyoto together. "

Arasaka Laixuan stepped straight out of the hot spring pool, and smiled confidently: "I can't ask for this. Don't worry, Tang Yu will come to us. As for whether he can be persuaded to go to Kyoto, it depends on the price Arasaka pays."

High fences have been erected around the company square, enclosing the entire construction site. All kinds of large-scale machinery are under construction, and the order on site is orderly.

Even in order to ensure no noise and no dust during the construction process, a thick layer of filter screen and water mist spraying system were specially built above the site.

The outer circular passages under the buildings of the major companies were repaired on the first day of the major accident and used exclusively for the company.

At the base gate of the dark and luxurious Arasaka Tower, a black limousine from Arasaka drove over and stopped slowly.

As the car door opened automatically, Sasha stepped out from the co-driver's seat, opened the rear compartment door one step earlier, and stood quietly by the side waiting.

After getting off the car, Tang Yu stood in front of the company gate, buttoning his suit with one hand. Seeing this familiar scene, he was inexplicably moved.

At the gate, several Arasaka security guards in black suits responded immediately after seeing Tang Yu appear. After a while, a security team of dozens of people ran out quickly and orderly, lined up at the gate, looking nervous It's like facing a big enemy.

Their prosthetic eyes rotated their apertures, reporting the situation to the security department at all times, and requesting immediate support.

Sasha closed the car door, controlled the vehicle to park automatically and intelligently, and came to Tang Yu's side. Seeing the security guards of Arasaka Company in such a posture, he could even see that the combat mechas in the hall were activated and ready for battle, which showed that these people treated Tang Yu fear and apprehension.

She had just started the combat readiness state, but she heard Tang Yu stop her voice.

"Relax, we're back on business."

"Oh, Sasha understands." Sasha stuck out his tongue, and the light of the combat implant on his body disappeared.

Tang Yu didn't rush into the barren tower, but waited for a while. Seeing that the number of security personnel came out was increasing, even the elite team was alarmed.

He could detect the entire company square, and there were many eyes who noticed the movement here.

After a while.

The Arasaka security team automatically stepped aside, and a familiar figure walked out from the middle of the team, and greeted Tang Yu after seeing him.

"Don, it's been a long time. I didn't expect you to come to the company today. If you tell me in advance, there will be no such misunderstanding. Let me see you off." Arthur Jenkins smiled a little, as if he didn't care at all. Keeping the matter in the company square in mind, he still showed a warm attitude of welcoming Tang Yu back to the company.

Seeing that Jenkins had dismissed the security guards, Tang Yu invited him into the Arasaka Tower. After scanning his information, he found that Jenkins had been promoted to director, and replied with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but I want to congratulate you."

The three of them strode towards the Arakasa Tower, and Jenkins didn't shy away from anything, and smiled calmly: "It's also thanks to you, after the big accident in the company square, the company was short of people, and this happened to fill the vacancy. "

"As for your matter, director Michiko has listed it as a core secret, and the position is reserved. If you want to come back, there should still be a good chance. She is waiting for you up there."

Jenkins is very clear that Tang Yu next to him is still of super high value to Arasaka. Just the unique mysterious ability can contribute infinite value to the Arasaka family, not to mention the unparalleled combat power that surpasses Adam's heavy hammer .

If he is willing to be loyal to Arasaka, Tang Yu can fully enjoy the treatment of being under one person and above ten thousand people.

"Just right, I have something to see her too." Tang Yu replied indifferently.

Jenkins took the elevator and sent Tang Yu to the director's exclusive office floor, and stopped.

Tang Yu took Sasha to Michiko's exclusive office according to the familiar path in the past.

Standing at the door to accept the identity authentication scan, Tang Yu was a little surprised that the entry and exit authentication was still valid.

Walking into the office that was as big as half a football field, Tang Yu saw Xiao Michiko standing in front of the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows smoking silently, as if seeing her for the first time, her back was lonely and lonely.

Tang Yu guessed that she might have known the fate of being regarded as an abandoned child by the Arasaka family. Even if she regained control of the Arasaka Tower, she would not be able to heal the old wound in her heart.

She lived in seclusion here with her father since she was a child, and she dared not admit her identity at all. She was the only outsider in the Arasaka family.

Her father died in a nuclear explosion, and now she may follow in his footsteps.

"You're here." Xiao Michiko said in a deep voice, her voice was somewhat hoarse and tired.

Before Tang Yu could say anything, Xiao Michiko said again: "Speak up if you have anything to say, and see what else I can help."

"I need the entire structure of the Arasaka tower to check for potential nuclear explosion hazards here." Tang Yu directly explained his purpose.

In order to avoid misunderstanding by Xiao Michiko, Tang Yu added: "I have information from here that Saburo Arasaka may intend to nuclear bomb the city of night. Military technology has checked the entire city and found no traces of strong radioactivity."

Xiao Michiko took a puff of a cigarette and murmured, "It's on the table, just look at it."

As soon as the voice fell, the holographic projection on the desk displayed a light blue three-dimensional picture, a structure of a barren building scaled down in proportion, with a bright red bright spot flashing abruptly on the roof.

Saburo Arasaka's office?
Tang Yu immediately understood that the nuclear bomb weapon enough to burn down the entire Night City was hidden in Saburo Arasaka's office as an emergency measure to deal with all uncontrollable crises.

"He is good at using fear. The people in the whole Night City have not yet realized them, and they are always living under the threat of an old man's thought." Xiao Michiko's tone was somewhat helpless, and she didn't seem surprised by this behavior.

Tang Yu understands Arasaka Saburo's method. This nuclear weapon, which is powerful enough to destroy the city, may be detonated by a more traditional method.

"Is it a mechanical combination lock?"

Tradition means that there is no convenient remote control, but you can control everything if you master the password, which also excludes the possibility of AI infiltrating this nuclear weapon.

Xiao Michiko gave an affirmative answer: "No one knows when everything in front of them will disappear, except him"

"I'll talk to him, don't worry, nothing will happen." Tang Yu has already made a decision in his heart, if the negotiation fails, he will send the entire Arasaka Tower to Kyoto even if he tries his best to let the old man Guy feels nuclear fear all over again.

Xiao Michiko's shoulders trembled slightly, and she seemed to be touched. Before Tang Yu left, she said: "All Sasha's data and authority system chips are placed on the desktop. Arasaka has cleared her file data. Take it. , From now on, she will be a free and free person."

Sasha was stunned when he heard this.

"A free man."

Now she has the memory of the past and the freedom of the future.

"Thank you." Sasha thanked Michiko earnestly.

Michiko waved her hand lightly, indicating that they could leave.

Tang Yu didn't stay any longer, picked up the chip and handed it to Sasha, then turned and left.

Next stop, Kujira aircraft carrier.

　None tonight!
