Cyberpunk: 2075

"So Nobu Arasaka has indeed come to Night City?"

Sitting on the penthouse floor of a super skyscraper, Carl welcomed Kenichi Shiro, who arrived in a floating car, in his home, and asked him this key question as soon as he sat down: "How could he think of coming to the night?" city."

"Routine inspection."

Kenichi Shiro sat on the sofa opposite Carl, facing the beer that Oliver and the others brought him. After glancing at the people standing nearby, he gave them face, took the beer and put it in front of him, and then continued:

"Although Arasaka in America has become a semi-independent force in fact, it still belongs to Arasaka in name. People from Arasaka come every year, but this year the person who comes is Noburu Sezaka."

In the conversation, Kenichi Shiro's attitude was obviously different when he mentioned Nobu Arasaka, which caught Carl's attention, so he asked: "What happened to Nobu Arasaka?"

"Would you like it when faced with an eagle that breaks into your home and causes trouble?"

"Maybe it's quite welcome. After all, I haven't seen many birds in a ghost place like Night City."

Of course, Karl understood the true meaning of Kenichi Shiro's words, so he continued: "So he plans to come here to cause trouble. What is his plan, to get control of American Arasaka?"

"Even if Sze Nobu comes here, he can't really control America."

When he said this, Kenichi Shiro was obviously quite confident. Coupled with his current status as vice president, it was obvious that his words were true.

Nobu Arasaka If the purpose of this visit is to try to gain the allegiance of Arasaka throughout America, then this is undoubtedly a foolish dream.

American Arasaka can develop into an independent faction within the Arasaka Group. Michiko Arasaka's methods cannot be underestimated. It is impossible for Nobu Arasaka to take away the foundation of others on other people's land. He has other motives for coming.

Kenichi Shiro talked about something that Carl had almost no memory of: "Do you still remember the blue-eyed intruder you caught at the Arasaka Tower banquet?"

"I still have the impression that that one might be controlled by a rogue AI?"

Karl recalled: "I remember that when Mashi and I were invited to play, you left half way through, maybe it was because of this."

"You know a lot of things."

"I've been with you the whole time, how can I not know...: So, Nobu Arasaka came here this time because there is something wrong with the rogue AI?"

"He's coming to take that special guy away."

"take away...."

Karl was a little surprised: "Although I don't know much about this aspect, but judging from the importance you attach to Mr. Kenichi Shiro, that person should be quite important. Arasaka Zenobu came over and wanted to take him away. Didn't he pay any benefits? ?”

"This is the intention from the person in charge of the Arasaka cabin. Nobu Arasaka just carried his instructions."

Arasaka at the helm?

This word can only describe one person in today's world.

No matter what factions and forces Nobu Arasaka and Michiko Arasaka develop, above them, there will always be one person who is the pinnacle of power, Saburo Arasaka.

"Arasaka Saburo...: Aren't Nobu Arasaka very at odds with him? How could he carry his instructions and come here to ask for someone like a good and obedient son?"

Karl was a little puzzled. Everyone knew about the father-son relationship between Saburo Arasaka and Nobu Arasaka. To put it bluntly, the two parties had restrained themselves before they started fighting. Arasaka Nobu came to take away the people after listening to Saburo Arasaka's words. That sounds really funny.

It's almost like saying that Oliver was spotted by a beautiful woman while he was walking on the road, and he wanted to take her home and imprison her to be her husband. It was very absurd.

Oliver, who felt an inexplicable chill, looked around and found that there seemed to be nothing strange, so he turned up the temperature of the air conditioner. At the same time, Kenichi Shiro explained Carl's doubts:

"No matter what, Senobu is now a member of Arasaka."

"As a member of Arasaka, do we have to wait for Saburo Arasaka's words... I think it is more likely that Nobu Arasaka came here this time to take advantage of the situation and plan to do something. For example, he also has something to do with that person. An attempt or something like that.”

"Maybe that's also possible."

Kenichi Shiro did not deny this possibility, and he then stated the reason for coming to Karl and the others this time: "So I want you to serve as a guard again."

"It's a security job again, we're not full-time bodyguards.

Having said that, Karl, who had long guessed the purpose of Kenichi Shiro's arrival, did not mean to refuse. In addition to killing people, their mercenary team only had to do guard work. Things like work were easy to say. But in terms of remuneration...

Karl asked: "What is the reward this time?"

"Your Sky Hera is broken, right?"

"Want to give us a new car?"

"No.

Kenichi Shiro looked at Karl: "I know you. You should want to repair that outdated car more. I will open a parts warehouse on the Arasaka seaside, and you can use the parts at will."

An entire parts warehouse in Arasaka Beach,

It sounded okay, but Karl didn't know much about car modifications, so he turned his head and looked at V.

V's prosthetic eye was shining brightly.

Understood.

In fact, Karl's commemoration of the Sky Hera is more like a commemoration of his mercenary career. He originally thought that if it couldn't be repaired or was too outdated, he would store the Sky Hera in a special warehouse as a souvenir. It’s okay to buy a new car, but now I’m looking at V

The performance, and then think about the explosive modifications he, Jack and Oliver made, and given them a parts warehouse, I am afraid they will be able to modify a Sky Hera that is completely incompatible with the Sky Hera.

As for the completely replaced Hera of the Sky or not Hera of the Sky, this is a bit related to the paradox of the Ship of Theseus.

"We took this job."

As the negotiator in the team who took over the task, Carl took over the job, and Kenichi Shiro, who was not surprised by this, took out some things and put them on the table.

"This time, Karl, you will serve as my escort as KK, and your team members...

Kenichi Shiro didn't need any further explanation, the remaining people had already seen the identity verification card on the table.

V saw the identity he was familiar with.

"It turns out this identity is not a one-time thing."

V picked up the identity verification card with two written on it. This thing was so familiar. He had brought it with him the last time he went to Arasaka Tower.

"So, Kenichi Shiro...: Sir, when is the mission?"

Oliver also picked up his own card, then looked at Kenichi Shiro and asked about the mission time.

"Four days later."

Kenichi Shiro stood up: "I will inform you in four days."

"Is the location still Arasaka Tower?"

"No.

Kenichi Shiro glanced at Karl who asked.

"We'll be at sea this time."

maritime?

Carl didn't know why.
