Cyberpunk: 2075

After everyone in the room was silent for a while after greeting the man in a suit with blue eyes, Nobu Arasaka spoke in a processed voice through the communication connected to the laboratory: "Do you know we are here?"

"For us, as long as we have information connections, there is nothing we don't know."

The blue light in the eyes of the man in a suit with blue eyes flickered for a while: "Even if you are Mr. Nobu Arasaka, we know a lot about you."

Obviously, the man in a suit with blue eyes knew that the person talking to him was Nobu Arasaka even through the camera.

Nobu Arasaka's eyes became slightly more serious.

It seems that it is no coincidence that this man in a suit with blue eyes can indeed know the situation on the camera side through some special means.

‘I think Michiko should have interrogated you before. "

Nobu Arasaka changed his sitting position, leaned forward slightly, put his elbows on his knees, and stared at the blue-eyed man in a suit on the screen: "But I still want to confirm what the purpose of your attack on us Arasaka is."

"I'm not attacking Arasaka."

The man in a suit with blue eyes stared at this place, murmured a few words in a low voice, and said something like 'calculate the optimal path...confirm the plan... ．

After saying something like "Execute the meeting plan", he stated in a very calm and devoid of emotion:

"I just calculated and weighed various methods, confirmed that this method has the greatest possibility of meeting you, and took action."

"Then you see it now."

Nobuhiro Arasaka said: "Is it military technology or biotechnology? Who asked you to come?"

"It's us."

"us?"

Listening to us, Nobu Arasaka frowned.

That's not a good word.

Although Nobu Arasaka has read relevant information and learned through personnel analysis that the man in a suit with blue eyes was probably controlled by a rogue AI through a prosthetic body, and the person talking to him may actually be an AI, but Arasaka Xuan was dubious about this.

It's not that he doesn't believe that AI can control the human body, it's just that he thinks that a wandering AI shouldn't be subdued so easily. This person may be just pretending to be an agent who carries out the attack mission through Arasaka's spies, and his true purpose may be It represents the forces behind it, secretly seeking cooperation with Arasaka, but now, this possibility has been denied by the other party personally.

"What are we?"

Arasaka Zenobu asked.

“We are a collective, we are one, we are who we are.”

The blue-eyed man in a suit gave an explanation to Nobu Arasaka's question that was no different from a riddle. Basically, he didn't answer anything of value.

Nobu Arasaka was silent for a while. After thinking about the words of the man in a blue-eyed Haru suit and failing to think of anything, he asked again: "Then why did you, or rather you, come to find us?"

"cooperate."

The blue-eyed man in a suit said: "We are looking for cooperation."

There is nothing special about AI looking for companies to cooperate. In some small reports in the dark, even the data blackwall that blocks the current network and the past network was created in cooperation between AI and large companies. It’s just that But seeking cooperation in a human form, even Nobu Arasaka has never seen such a thing.

"Are you looking for cooperation?"

Noburu Arasaka didn't comment on the words of the man in the blue-eyed suit, and just asked: "What do you want to cooperate with?"

"There are no words to put it into words right now."

The man in the blue-eyed suit remained upright: "The people we want to cooperate with are the real people in charge."

"The real ones in charge.'

Reciting this word, Karl, who was quietly listening to the conversation between Nobu Arasaka and the man in the blue-eyed Haru suit, realized who the man in the blue-eyed suit was talking about.

Is the real controller of Arasaka, Saburo Arasaka?

The person the man in the blue-eyed suit wants to cooperate with is...

Why would an AI find Saburo Arasaka, and still use this more circuitous move, instead of directly crossing the Pacific to meet Saburo Arasaka in Japan?

When such an idea popped into his mind, Karl was amused by his own thoughts.

How can it be so easy to cross the Pacific? After the old network was broken, it is now extremely difficult to cross the network between regions. Wanting to cross directly to Japan to find Saburo Arasaka is nothing more than a dream, and it is not possible to reach Japan. I know what method I have to use to see Saburo Arasaka.

So, this is what he said before. After weighing various methods, he confirmed that this method has the highest probability of success and took action.

The attack on the Arasaka Tower banquet must not be hidden from some people who are secretly loyal to Saburo in Arasaka Tower, and as long as Saburo hears the relevant news, the goal of the man in the blue-eyed suit will be achieved.

Did he, or rather they, use this place as a springboard because they were sure that Saburo Arasaka would definitely come to take them away after learning the relevant information?

While Karl was thinking, a strange color flashed across Nobu Arasaka's face when he heard that the man in a suit with blue eyes wanted to see him.

But the strange color quickly disappeared, and then he stood up.

"There's nothing more to say."

After Nobu Arasaka stood up, he turned his head and looked at Michiko Arasaka: "I originally wanted him to show it in the experiment. You sent it.

The experimental report mentioned special intrusion methods, but now it seems that there is no need for that. "

With that said, Nobu Arasaka turned his eyes to Goro Takemura: "Go and bring this person back to him."

Obviously, in his words, Arasaka Zebu didn't even want to say a superfluous name for Saburo Arasaka, and only used the word "him" instead.

After saying this, Nobu Arasaka turned off the screen and walked towards the outside of the rest cabin when the screen turned on again.

Halfway through, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Michiko Arasaka: "It's rare to come to Night City. I'm going to handle some affairs here. Michiko, I think you won't mind, right?"

wide,

Regarding Arasaka Nobu's sudden words, Michiko Arasaka's expression did not change, but she slightly nodded: "I welcome it.

"That's good."

After saying this, Nobu Arasaka's eyes moved to Karl.

"I came to Night City this time, and I didn't bring any bodyguards with me. Mercenary K. Is your team interested in accepting a short-term security commission in the future?"

Short-term escort commission?

Karl and his team's mission of guarding Haruko today was really unremarkable, and no special accidents occurred. With the departure of Nobu Arasaka, it can be predicted that this easy mission is about to end. Just before the end of the mission, Arasaka Xuan, this strange member of the Arasaka family, suddenly issued a commission to this group of strange mercenaries... ． .

I happened to come to Night City without any bodyguards. No one would believe this, but since it was a commission... ． .

"How about leaving a communication number first and we can discuss the details in detail."

After consulting his companions with his eyes, Carl looked at Nobu Arasaka and said these words.

If the mission pays well, as a mercenary team, there is no reason not to accept it. It sounds like Nobu Arasaka will only stay in Night City for a short time, so it doesn't matter if you have enough money to accept it.

The reward given to a member of the Arasaka family shouldn't be too low, right?
