Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

Kate returned to her office and sat on the sofa, her face gloomy.

"I underestimated you."

I just went to the minister's office to find Tang Yu and wanted to press him about the military-grade Sianweistan.

I thought Tang Yu would be uneasy because of this, worried that the truth of the matter would be discovered.

Unexpectedly, he took it for granted and was not afraid of digging into the matter himself.

The words were full of sarcasm, which made her get rejected.

Kate quickly calmed down and considered the anomaly of this.

Being angry is nothing to her. After staying in Arasaka for so many years, she has already developed the habit of being calm in dealing with things.

Now that Tang Yu is in the spotlight in the Arasaka Tower workplace, he naturally looks down on anyone.

But the question she wanted to find out was why Tang Yu was so confident and not worried at all about the truth about the deaths of the three Arasaka special service teams being dug up and revealed to the public.

Obviously.

He has a trump card.

Kate has read the report on the results of the operation. The main content is that the people from the Whirlpool Gang arranged a premeditated transaction in order to obtain the military-grade Si'an Westan prosthetic body.

While three special service teams from the Special Operations Department were performing tasks in an abandoned factory, they were unexpectedly attacked and killed.

Anyone who knows a little bit about Arasaka's special operations would find this statement absurd.

The Uzumaki Gang is indeed not weak in the Watson area, but its strength is far insufficient compared to the Arasaka Special Forces.

and.

Even if they gave Uzumaki 10,000 courage, they would not dare to monopolize the three Arasaka special service teams, even with the support of military technology.

In the action results report, Tang Yu mentioned that the reason why the Whirlpool Gang was so bold was because it was supported by military technology.

But Kate doesn't think so. She believes that the real killer who killed the three Arasaka special forces was military technology.

Except for military technology, there will never be a second force that dares to openly challenge Arasaka in Night City.

The crux of the matter is that she lacks the necessary evidence.

Kate has arranged for someone to ask the Whirlpool Gang, and their boss Brick said he had no knowledge of the matter.

Royce of the Whirlpool Gang was responsible for the so-called military-grade Sianwistan transaction from beginning to end.

As for the whereabouts of Royce, no one in the entire Whirlpool Gang knew, and the military-grade prosthetic body was probably in Royce's hands.

Kate was very sure that Royce was dead, perhaps also at the hands of military technology.

There are too many doubts about this matter, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it.

But at that board meeting, Michiko Arasaka suppressed all objections and doubts with absolute courage.

and.

Few of the board members of Night City Arasaka Tower really dare to propose a war with military technology.

Even if this matter is exposed, it is impossible to make a public statement.

Kate understands this.

So from the beginning, her purpose was one.

Find out the truth and get the evidence to overthrow Tang Yu, and then pass the truth to Arasaka Yorinobu himself.

only if.

Only then can she gain more attention and favor.

It is impossible to restart the investigation now. If she wants the board of directors to decide to restart the investigation, she must first write a report, obtain Tang Yu's consent, and then go to the board of directors in the name of the Counterintelligence Department.

This is in line with Arasaka Tower's working procedures, and Kate can't fault it.

Now things are at an impasse.

Kate estimated that the fundamental reason why Tang Yu was confident was the support of Michiko Arasaka and the fact that she had strangled the lifeblood of board members.

because.

No one dares to delve into the truth behind this matter, lest they become cannon fodder before the two giants open fire.

If it turns out that three Arasaka special service teams were killed, Arasaka and Military Technology will start a war again.

It is easy to say that it has surpassed military technology, but once the situation in Arasaka becomes unfavorable.

I'm afraid the ones who took the blame were the board members who supported the war. The louder they shouted at the beginning, the worse they would die later.

Everyone on the board of directors knew that the supreme ruler of Arasaka would not agree to a war with military technology.

So in the end, anyone who knows the truth about this matter may face the risk of being purged.

Kate felt that she had grasped the key to the matter, and it was indeed a dead game.

How the three Arasaka Special Forces died was of no importance to Arasaka.

But for Arasaka Yorinobu, it has a very important meaning.

Kate wants to obtain evidence and investigate the truth, not to fight with military technology.

But to present this truth to Arasaka Yorinobu in Kyoto.

With this contribution, he gained the attention of Arasaka Yorinobu and at the same time built momentum for his visit to Night City.

Arasaka Yorinobu stayed in Kyoto. To some extent, he was trapped in his family home and could only wait for opportunities.

If Kate wants to break the deadlock and get real information, she still has to start with military technology.

If the informant can find key evidence, such as contacting the military technology agents who participated in the operation that night, and extract information, things will be much easier to handle.

Kate organized her thoughts and called Tanaka from the R\u0026D department. This former superior still maintained some contact with her.

Tanaka was sitting in his office, having just finished a call with Anders Hermann, Arasaka's chief bioengineer.

The two had differences and became somewhat unhappy.

Tanaka knew that Mr. Arasaka was becoming more and more anxious and needed to come up with something that would convince him.

If it can't be produced, Tanaka's years of working in the Arasaka R\u0026D Department of Night City will become meaningless.

It’s just that Anders Hermann’s research and development progress has been hindered, and the experiment requires more sample data.

But Tanaka couldn't find a suitable target, someone with a strong will, someone whose brain could withstand the heat.

It is meaningless for ordinary people to be used as samples for experiments, and they cannot survive at all.

Just when Tanaka was a little annoyed, he saw Kate requesting access to the communication. The code on his long-sided sunglasses scrolled and the call was quickly connected.

"What's up?"

Kate said directly: "I talked to Tang Yu today, and he is very confident about the military-grade Sian Westan."

"He must have secretly colluded with military technology, but I can't get the evidence yet."

Tanaka said in a deep voice: "Don't mention things without evidence. He has obtained the operating data. As for the means, the higher-ups will not care."

Kate knew about this matter and could only continue to investigate privately. Although Tanaka was her former boss, the two belonged to different factions.

"I understand, but now that we have the operational data, how is the development of that prosthetic body going?"

Tanaka was a little impatient. This was not the first time today that he was annoyed because of R\u0026D progress issues.

"It is still under development. Some development programs need to be found in the old network. Even if one component is missing, it will be difficult to successfully develop it."

Kate said bluntly: "Then it's best to speed up the progress. Adam's Hammer is ready, all that's needed is this implant."

"Adam Hammer will be coming to Night City soon. I hope the research and development test can be successful before he comes."

Tanaka frowned. The progress of research and development also depends on luck. It cannot be progressed in an orderly manner.

This new type of combat implant under development is specially prepared for Adam's Hammer. It is at the ultimate level in terms of strength and precision.

Apart from Adam Hammer, I'm afraid there's no other person who can be implanted.

Tianzhong thought that perhaps Adam Hammer was more suitable to participate in Anders Hermann's biological neurological experiments. After all, his brain was strong enough and different from ordinary people.

What's even more annoying is that the research and development projects he has on hand are far more than this one, and there is no guarantee of a successful development deadline.

Tanaka replied coldly and perfunctorily, and hung up the phone directly.

As soon as he had more troubles, he wanted to go to Jimmy Kurosaki's place to experience the exciting Black Mewtwo.

Only then can these troubles be forgotten.

Tanaka rubbed his tense brows and tried to calm down. After thinking for a while, he dialed Susan Abernathy's number.

It didn't take long.

The call is connected.

Susan Abernathy sounded breathless and asked bluntly: "What, um, is there anything new?"

Tanaka could tell that she seemed uncomfortable, and said calmly: "Help me find a few targets, and I will send you the parameters later."

Susan Abernathy readily agreed and said she would arrange for the Special Operations Department to find suitable targets.

Subsequently.

Tanaka thought for a while and sent a message to the Tiger Claw Gang, asking them to hurry up and find the target candidate.

After doing all this, he felt free and decided that he must experience a black Mewtwo tonight.

I heard that Jimmy Kurosaki released a version of Cybermaniac's Black Mewtwo. The quality is very good, even better than that of Cybermaniac James in Company Square. The recording source is Military Technology Lieutenant Moir.

He had been procrastinating for a while due to work reasons and just went to enjoy it today.

Tang Yu came to Xiao Michiko's exclusive director's office floor and underwent security inspection at the door as usual.

After confirming that there was no problem, accompanied by the female guide, we came to the office door.

Tang Yu is already familiar with the layout here, and his identity information has been entered and authenticated by the access control.

He stood in front of the door and accepted the blue light scan, and the large stainless steel door slowly opened.

Tang Yu stepped into the door, and the mist in front of his eyes gradually dissipated, revealing an office floor that was half the size of a football field.

Little Michiko was sitting on the soft sofa in the reception area, holding a glass of wine in her left hand and a cigar in her right hand, as if waiting.

When she saw Tang Yu's figure, she said casually.

"sit."

Tang Yu got up and came to the reception area, unbuttoned his suit with one hand, and then sat on the sofa opposite Michiko.

He picked up the whiskey on the crystal table, poured himself a small half glass, held it in his hand and said.

"Director Michiko, if you want to meet me for a drink and chat in the future, just send me a message."

Little Michiko stared at him and asked, "Why, does it cause trouble to you? Or are you afraid of being labeled as me by others?"

Tang Yu faced Xiao Michiko's questioning and smiled calmly: "Do I still need to slap this label? I'm afraid they have already put it on my forehead."

He went upstairs to see little Michiko alone, without bringing Sasha.

One is considering that Sasha, as his special assistant, is no longer under Michiko's control, and there is no need to bring her to see Michiko again.

The second one is what little Michiko is going to talk about next, and I'm afraid it has a lot to do with Sasha.

The less contact Sasha has with the Arasaka family, the better, especially little Michiko.

From the time he arranged for Sasha to be with him, he had no good intentions.

Little Michiko smiled slightly and raised a glass to Tang Yu from afar.

Tang Yu also raised his glass in response.

They each took a sip.

After Xiao Michiko drank the rest of the drink in one gulp, she placed the empty glass on the table and changed into a comfortable position to lean on the back of the sofa.

"Well, how is Sasha using it recently? Does your life feel better?"

Tang Yu thought to himself that he might have seen some clues in asking about Sasha so eagerly without even making a detour, so he said in a deep voice.

"Well, Sasha is excellent in all aspects."

excellent?

Little Michiko suddenly smiled, looked at Tang Yu meaningfully, and said, "I heard that you haven't come to the company to work for a long time. What's the matter? You fell into the gentle trap so quickly. I thought you could persist for a while. Woolen cloth."

With that said, little Michiko looked at Tang Yu again and came to her own conclusion,

"Well, if you put it this way, your complexion looks much smoother, and your performance is indeed excellent."

Tang Yu also knows what little Michiko is thinking, and she definitely has some information about Sasha's relationship with the biotechnology company.

Sasha is not a so-called android, but a living cyberpunk girl, and she has deep ties to biotechnology companies.

She would naturally associate the riot in the company square with Tang Yu.

He used Arasaka's resources to support Cree, and there was no way he could hide this from the people in Arasaka Tower.

Tang Yu didn't say anything, just smiled perfunctorily, and didn't want to talk more about Sasha.

Seeing that Tang Yu was not falling for the trick, little Michiko continued to attack and said bluntly.

"Kerry's concert last night, and the riots in Company Square that burned down the biotechnology building, you should be a part of it."

Tang Yu felt much calmer when he heard that Michiko changed the topic and changed the direction of attack.

He is not worried about little Michiko digging up something. Things like company riots are actually a trivial matter at the level of the Arasaka family and are not worth mentioning at all.

Tang Yu was right about little Michiko. The only thing she really cared about was the internal struggle within the Arasaka family.

The reason why Michiko reused him was simply to consolidate her power in Arasaka Tower in Night City and prepare for the next power game.

Whether it was Sasha or the riot in the company square, the purpose was to better control Tang Yu.

He simply admitted it directly, muddying the waters even more, mixing the true and false.

"Director Michiko's information is very accurate. Whether it was a concert or a riot, I was indeed involved."

Little Michiko's eyes flashed with surprise, and she felt a little surprised. She didn't expect Tang Yu to confess so freely.

She originally wanted to use this incident to treat Tang Yu well, hoping that he would understand some rules in the future and be loyal to her more honestly.

But now Tang Yu was honest and honest, as if he had no selfish motives at all.

Little Michiko thought there was something fishy about him, so she originally didn't plan to ask too much about him, but now she got interested and asked more questions.

"Why, I wonder if I can know the reason behind this?"

Tang Yu said directly without changing his expression: "Because I have a personal relationship with Kerry. Kerry wanted to hold a concert, but his record company wouldn't let him do it, so I helped him solve some troubles."

"As for the riots, they were just to add fuel to Kerry's concert and make him famous and gain more traffic."

"After all, there are so many singers in Night City who can hold such an impressive concert. With just the rock weapons in their hands, they can drive the audience into a frenzy and even burn down the company."

"I'm afraid this incident will be recorded in the major events of Night City, and it will be enough for Kree to be prosperous for a while."

"If Director Michiko wants to hold me accountable for using public weapons for personal use, I will definitely accept this punishment."

After hearing this explanation, little Michiko still did not let go of her doubts, but was analyzing the content of these words.

How could a young, handsome guy who was also a senior executive of Arasaka Company hook up with rock kid Kerry?

Either Kerry is a gay guy as the rumors say, and the two maintain a romantic relationship in private.

Either Tang Yu has other agendas, like a washed-up rock star?

Little Michiko thought for a moment, and a figure suddenly appeared in her mind. It was her uncle, Arasaka Yorinobu.

Not many people know that Arasaka Yorinobu has a personal relationship with Kerry.

Arasaka Yorinobu used to come to Night City when he had time, and he would usually stay at the Kanabi Building and then have some fun.

For example, calling girls from Genting to meet and chat late at night, or going out to chat with some old friends, including rock boy Kerry.

Arasaka Yorinobu also played rock music before, and his gentle demeanor only changed after returning to Arasaka Company.

Little Michiko looked at Tang Yu suspiciously, a little more certain of her judgment.

This lone wolf is dishonest. He enjoys the pleasure of one end and still misses the pleasure of the other end.

If Tang Yu wants to use the Kerry line to gain a relationship with Arasaka Yorinobu in order to smoothly transition to the hawks' front when Arasaka arrives in Night City, this possibility is not impossible.

Nowadays, there are still rumors that Arasaka Yorinobu will come to Night City to take power.

Little Michiko knows that every transition of power will inevitably cause an earthquake in the company, and countless company executives will be in danger.

When a new king comes to power, purges are inevitable.

Little Michiko remained silent, nodded slightly, and said playfully: "If that's the case, then I have to punish you well. Let me think about what I should let you do."

"Look at how handsome you are. It's such a shame to play with Kerry. If it doesn't work out, how about you being my special assistant?"

"In this case, it won't be that easy if you want to tread two boats."

Tang Yu thought to himself, if you dare to let me be a special assistant, I will dare to let you know how to write the word regret.

The day Arasaka will really fall, Michiko will take the lead.

Tang Yu was not false at all. Since little Michiko knew the relationship between Kerry and Yori Xuan, she must have thought that he wanted to cling to Yori Xuan, so she smiled confidently.

"If Director Michiko really has such good intentions, I would be willing to give it a try. It doesn't matter if Krina's personal relationship is broken off."

Little Michiko smiled with peach blossoms on her face: "You have some courage, but I don't feel comfortable with a wallflower like you."

She doesn't mind at all whether Tang Yu really wants to cling to Arasaka Yorinobu, as long as Tang Yu continues to accomplish things for her.

There are no permanent friends or enemies in the workplace, only permanent interests.

Now that little Michiko is standing at the top of the Arasaka Tower, Tang Yu is naturally used by her.

Someday, if Arasaka Yorinobu is standing here, not to mention Tang Yu, even she will bow her head.

Little Michiko turned her eyes and asked her personal secretary to bring in a microchip and handed it to Tang Yu.

"I have something for you to handle, about the Tiger Claw Gang."

"I'm not very comfortable with this crutch."

"You help me remove some thorns."

"If you complete this matter, the punishment will be waived."

"make a deal."

PS: No more tonight.
