Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 60 Shadow
Time is urgent.

Tang Yu didn't sit down and talk.

"Now is not the time to joke"

"Director Michiko Arasaka is still waiting upstairs, I'll come here to give you a breath first"

Jenkins behaved very naturally, and didn't think there was anything wrong with what he said, and continued to analyze it seriously.

"Everyone knows that I single-handedly picked you up, and there is no difference between wooing you and wooing me."

"But the crux of the problem is that it is not very clear where the strong wind is blowing now."

"If the boat is too early, I'm afraid there will be a danger of capsizing."

Tang Yu knew that Jenkins didn't dare to judge directly, and the subtext meant that it was too early to stand in line with Michiko Arasaka.

And Michiko Arasaka's boat is a bit small, and compared to the other two descendants of the Arasaka family, its strength is obviously inferior.

Even though Michiko is now in charge of Arasaka Tower in Night City, she has a high position and authority.

Once Raisaka Aranobu comes to Night City in person, the scepter in her hand will definitely be handed over.

The oars for rowing are gone, and all that's left is to drift with the flow and resign yourself to fate.

The internal disputes of the Arasaka family almost determine the future of the Arasaka Company. Before the power struggle is settled, it is extremely stupid to stand in line hastily.

Tang Yu knows Jenkins' little abacus.

Although the counterintelligence department is not as good as the special operations department, it is better because the department does not have a particularly clear faction affiliation.

As long as you stay neutral, you will be able to follow the wind and sit firmly in the final winner.

But Tang Yu knows that if he doesn't stand in line as soon as possible, the hurricane will really blow, but there will be no thighs to hug.

Not surprisingly.

Arasaka Yoshinobu will visit Night City next year, and a battle between Arasaka father and son will officially kick off.

Under the Great Cleansing Movement, all forces will take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents.

Abernathy will not let go of the opportunity to clean up, and must kill Jenkins, the enemy of the counterintelligence department.

Tang Yu's original intention was not to discuss the situation with Jenkins, but just to go through the motions.

"Indeed, it's still too early to buy a ticket to board the ship. I know what to say. If there's nothing else, I'll meet you first."

Knowing that Tang Yu understood the hint, Jenkins nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, you go to see the director first, and communicate in time if there is any new situation"

"Oh, right"

"The surprise I prepared for you will arrive tomorrow."

"Ye's company has encountered some problems, I have confirmed it, it will be later"

Ye's Company?

The more Tang Yu listened, the more he felt that it was unreliable, but there were more important things right now, so he went straight to the public elevator.

soon.

Elevator arrives.

After getting out of the elevator, under the supervision of two Arasaka personal bodyguards, Tang Yu underwent a full-body security scan.

Make sure there are no dangerous substances in your body.

A female secretary in uniform stepped forward and acted as a guide for Tang Yu.

"Hello, Mr. Tang, this way please"

Tang Yu nodded slightly, and continued to walk forward, followed by two personal bodyguards.

The entire office floor is covered with silver-gray fine velvet carpets, and they walk quietly.

The decoration layout style is in line with the blackness of the Arasaka Tower, and there is no Japanese element of cherry blossoms at all.

Under the guidance of the female secretary in uniform, Tang Yu came to a huge mechanical gate.

After another round of blue light wave scanning and authentication of identity information, the mechanical gate slowly opened towards both sides.

After the gate was opened, a ripple-like light curtain blocked the view, like water mist, blurring the scene inside, making it hard to see clearly.

The uniformed female secretary made a gesture of invitation: "Mr. Tang, please come in. Director Michiko is already waiting for you inside."

Tang Yu was a little surprised to see the female secretary and bodyguards standing outside the gate, not intending to enter.

But it also makes sense to think about it, some words are not suitable for others to be present.

Tang Yu continued to move forward alone, and came to the light curtain.

As soon as he walked in, the mechanical gate behind him closed automatically.

The light curtain in front of him gradually faded and disappeared.

Only then did Tang Yu see the interior of the office clearly, and his first impression was that it was spacious, almost half the size of a football field.

The 180-degree wall-to-wall floor-to-ceiling screen windows can almost have a panoramic view of the entire Night City without any obstacles.

After filtering through the floor-to-ceiling screen windows, sunlight shines into the office, which is bright and mild.

In such a spacious office, there is only one office desk and one office chair.

their masters.

Michiko Arasaka was standing alone in front of the window, her blue hair tied back high, flamboyant and unrestrained.

The uniform skirt with animal pattern feather sleeves wrapped the whole body, glowing with golden luster.

She turned her back to Tang Yu and faced the floor-to-ceiling windows, not knowing whether she was admiring the scenery or thinking about something.

Through her back view, Tang Yu can clearly see the texture of the metal lines implanted and maintained on the back and neck.

"It's still very well maintained."

A moment of silence.

He took the initiative to cough twice to remind the other party of his arrival.

Only then did Michiko Arasaka speak, and her voice even slightly echoed in the spacious office.

"I often stand here, look at the military science and technology building opposite, and think about a question"

Tang Yu remained silent, quietly waiting for Michiko to speak.

"The two towers stand here like giants, and they are so close to each other, does it mean that there is no buffer room?"

"It's like two tigers being locked in a circle, roaring, biting and fighting each other until one of them is killed and qualified"

"Is this all over?"

Tang Yu heard that there was something in Xiao Michiko's words, and felt a little helpless about her devious behavior.

Although Xiao Michiko received a new American education, every pore on her body exudes the unique arrogance of the Arasaka family.

It is true that two tigers cannot live under the same mountain, unless there is one male and one female.

For Xiao Michiko's temptation, Tang Yu knew it well, and he just wanted to find out his attitude towards military technology.

"That depends on who the masters of these two tigers are."

"If there are two wild tigers, the end result is bound to be a lose-lose"

Tang Yu played Tai Chi, but never made a positive statement.

But from the side, the most important thing is to see who is in power.

If Arasaka and military technology go on indefinitely, it will only hurt both sides, and everyone understands the truth.

Michiko Arasaka seemed to be touched by this answer, and turned around leisurely to look at Tang Yu, with a flat tone that could not be heard.

"Today is the resumption of the battle between the two tigers"

"Six years ago, Arasaka protected Night City from being destroyed by metal wars"

"Even though Arasaka Tower was rebuilt on the site of the ruins, Arasaka still couldn't completely get out of the shadow of that failure, and it was difficult to regain its former glory."

"And our opponents are constantly evolving and have grown into behemoths"

Tang Yu remembered the past.

The fourth corporate war.

[-], August.

Johnny Silverhand formed the Atlantis team and nuclear-blown Arasaka Tower in Night City.

In this small nuclear explosion, Arasaka CEO Kei Arasaka, who is also Michiko's biological father, dissipated along with the ashes of Arasaka Tower.

Affected by multiple factors, Arasaka was defeated and forced to surrender, and has been hit hard ever since.

More than 50 years have passed since the fourth corporate war, but Arasaka Corporation is still shrouded in this shadow to this day.
