Chapter 12: Ice Blue and Light Pink
The pale gold of the rising sun shines on the city skyline.
Tang Yu, dressed in a crisp suit, was riding a hovering rail car to the Santo Domingo Valley area.
There weren't many people in the carriage, but he still chose a location near the door so that he could look out the window.
At the same time, through the portable communicator, he can remotely handle some of Arasaka's daily affairs.
At this time, Arthur Jenkins, the head of Arasaka's counterintelligence department, suddenly called.
Tang Yu judged that he should have asked about the search for the whereabouts of the prosthetic, and there might be new information in such a hurry.
So the call was answered.
Jenkins: "Don, did you find a clue over there about that military-grade Sanwestein?" ”
Tang Yu flatly denied: "It's still under investigation, and I found an informant to understand some basic information, and at present, no one on the black market or public channels trades this prosthesis." ”
Jenkins: "Is there any clue on the body of that cyber maniac?" ”
Tang Yu: "The prosthetic body on the corpse was stolen before it was sent to the NCPD, since it is not traded on the black market, it is very likely that it will be through an intermediary, and I will arrange for an informant to continue to explore." ”
Jenkins: "Then hurry up, I have news here that the Special Operations Department has communicated with Tanaka of the R&D Department and wants to take over this job, and the ghost knows how that stinky watch suddenly wants to meddle in this matter." ”
Tang Yu sneered in his heart, Carter really leaked the information to Abnacy.
In fact, the process of submitting task requests to the higher levels and finally distributing the decisions to the departments for implementation is not strictly confidential.
The Counterintelligence Department is involved in many tasks, and the Special Operations Department is also involved, and the relationship between the two is generally more cooperative than competitive.
It is only because of the contradictions between the heads of the two departments that the competition has intensified.
And Abnasi's single-point approach to Tanaka, the head of the R&D department, was obviously the same as the last border mission, and it was clearly aimed at Jenkins and himself, not the entire counterintelligence department.
Jenkins continued: "Tanaka in the R&D department is a direct descendant of Saburo Arasaka, and Abnashi wants to make his position clear by currying favor with Tanaka, you know that the company has not been peaceful recently, because of the conflict within the Arasaka family, the board of directors is now waiting to see the situation, and we have to think about ourselves and step on the boat steadily." ”
Tang Yu naturally understands the contradictions and disputes within the Arasaka family better than Jenkins.
In that life, he still drummed up Arasaka Lai Xuan to fight against his father.
From the current point of view, Arasaka Lai Xuan is still a little more tender than Arasaka Saburo.
He calmly replied to his boss Jenkins: "Understood, I will speed up the search"
Then he hung up.
The reason why Tang Yu said that there are no clues related to prosthetics is mainly due to safety considerations.
Until the cage doesn't catch a mouse, he will continue to hide his breath and wait for an opportunity.
Tang Yu put away the portable communicator and put it in his trouser pocket, looking at the scenery outside the window as usual, but the afterglow inadvertently fell on the ice-blue streamer-like figure in the carriage.
He tilted his head slightly.
The owner of the streamer figure was a silver-haired girl, with a tall and agile posture like a nimble cat, and her short shoulder-length silver hair glowed in the sun with an ice blue light red rainbow.
However, what really attracted Tang Yu was not the posture of the silver-haired girl, but her skillful and superb chip stealing skills.
Tang Yu, as a habitual offender in his previous life, had almost never done this with Jack and his sister V, but it was extremely rare to be as skilled as her.
I saw the silver-haired girl shuttling through the carriage, picking out the target of action, and stealing the nerve socket chip on the passenger's neck with a wave of her hand.
The passenger who stole the chip found almost nothing and appeared to be a tech-savvy cyber hacker.
But Tang Yu didn't plan to bother with the other party's stealing of chips, as long as the silver-haired girl didn't come to steal her own things.
He has not had a prosthetic implant in his body, and the equipment he uses is a wearable prototype, and the price of these brain sensory nerve communicator prototypes is more expensive than most communication chip prosthetics on the market.
Tang Yu noticed that the targets targeted by the silver-haired girl were almost all office passengers in suits and leather shoes like herself, and even recognized several of them as employees of Arasaka Company.
Extremely purposeful.
"The hacking skills are good, and the tricks should be veterans."
"It seems to be a cyberpunk that is absolutely hostile to the company."
Pay a little attention.
Tang Yu withdrew his attention.
For a cyberpunk who dares to work against the company, Tang Yu has more of a good impression, even if he is still wearing the skin of the company's dog, and now he still needs to use this skin to do something.
Suddenly.
Tang Yu was keenly aware of a pair of very dexterous fingers, which reached into his trouser pocket and took away the chip of the portable communicator in his trouser pocket.
Tang Yu, who had already been alerted in advance, turned to the right back and grabbed the slender wrist of the silver-haired girl with his backhand.
Catch it red-handed!
The silver-haired girl who had just smoothed the chip into her hand was about to leave quietly, but she didn't want the hand holding the chip to be caught by the other party.
She frowned and looked back, her horrified gaze colliding with each other for the first time.
Only then did Tang Yu see the whole picture of the silver-haired girl.
The delicate face, neon pupils, and red eyelids and red lips are dotted with red prints, which looks mysterious and stubborn.
Soon.
The silver-haired girl saw her current situation, and seemed to be a little ashamed of the mistake, and wanted to break free of the other party's hand, but found that she was not allowed to break free at all.
Tang Yu's eyes were as calm as water, and he spoke.
"You know it's not a good choice."
The silver-haired girl stubbornly asked:
"What do you want?"
At this time.
Tang Yu noticed that the passenger in the suit who had the chip stolen found out about the situation and immediately contacted the flight security.
For the demands of the company's employees, the traffic station has always paid more attention, not to mention that those who were stolen were still Arasaka employees.
The silver-haired girl shuttled between the carriages and repeatedly succeeded, and had already attracted the attention of the strong man in the security uniform.
They began to walk towards Tang Yu's side, their right hands also tightly gripping the handle of the gun at their waists, followed by at least six security personnel and several company employees.
The silver-haired girl also noticed the situation, and according to her original plan, she should have left by the train stop.
But she couldn't do it at all when she was grabbed by the wrist, unless she chose to do it.
The next stop is coming, and the situation is becoming critical.
The fate of the silver-haired girl at the moment was in Tang Yu's hands, whether to let her go, or hand her over to the flight attendants.
He knows that a cyberpunk like the silver-haired girl will only go down the road of fighting the company if he is burdened with deep secrets.
The hovercar passes through the high-rise buildings, and the interior of the carriage is bright and dark.
When light and shadow are intertwined.
The girl's silver-white hair color changed with light and shade to ice blue and light pink, revealing a kind of neon-like illusion.
"Dingdong, the train has arrived, the next station will be..."
The metal gates of the train open automatically.
But the silver-haired girl's wrist was still firmly grasped.
The two were still staring at each other.
Making the last hesitation...
