Chapter 69: Soul Killer

Tang Yu returned to his office.

Sit in an office chair with a chip in your left hand and spin in circles.

"Sincerity is acceptable"

A luxury Rayfield limited edition sports car, even if it is a used car, is not something that can be bought with money.

Jenkins must have put some effort into getting this car.

For a head of the Arasaka Intelligence Department, the luxury car can only be regarded as a relatively expensive toy.

A luxury car is not enough to make him tempted, blindly thinking that Arthur Jenkins takes a fancy to his ability.

Working in Arasaka, what is human affection?

Not even a hair.

Today's smiling face congratulations, tomorrow turn your face and kill your hand, such things abound.

More crucially, Jenkins gave such a valuable gift with two meanings.

On the surface, it seems to be a courtship, but the deeper shows that he is still suspicious.

Arthur Jenkins noticed that Tang Yu, who had been picked up by his own hands, was already showing signs of getting out of control.

The power is high.

This simple truth, Tang Yu will not not understand.

It's just that at the moment, the two are still sitting in the same boat, their interests are tied to each other, and even if there is a gap, they will choose to open one eye and close one eye.

Tang Yu turned on the Dragon Fist scan to view and read the Rayfield vehicle certification information.

【Rayfield "AerondightS9" Sword of the Lake Girl】

[8-liter W16 engine, 1000 horsepower, acceleration time to 100 km/h in only 2 seconds, top speed up to 407 km/h]

[Both inside and outside are made of aluminum, titanium, glass fiber, carbon fiber and other high-tech lightweight materials...]

In terms of appearance, it has a dark blue pearl bottom, and the front hatch glows with blue flowing light and shadow.

After scanning and admitting the vehicle authentication chip, you can use it when you log in to the certified vehicle through smart glasses when you pick up the car next time.

Tang Yu opened the office drawer and threw the authentication chip into it, as for picking up the car, he would talk about it when he was free.

He regained his mind and began to prepare for the next step.

Xiaomei Zhizi explained things, and she had to make some preparations in advance, and with the intelligence authority of a higher director level, she could naturally have more understanding of military technology.

He turned on his office computer, logged into the Arasaka Company's intelligence system, and entered the Advanced Intelligence Archive Center.

Select the Director-level Intelligence Profile.

Click Confirm.

The system begins to confirm the identity information.

"Login Successful"

It was the first time for Tang Yu to log in to Arasaka's director-level intelligence system, but the scope of browsing and reading was limited to military technology-related ranges.

It should be a permission specially set by Michiko Komi, and it is limited to work use.

This confidential information about military science and technology will have a great impact, and it will even lead to another hot weapons war between the two companies.

"Soul killer?"

Tang Yu browsed casually and found Johnny's ex-girlfriend information, which was recorded in the file.

Click to view.

Ott Cunningham, a genius female hacker, has developed a new consciousness digitization technology.

This technology digitizes human consciousness, which is then withdrawn from the shell and transferred to cyberspace.

Originally, this technology was used to create an electronic virtual identity for humans who were about to die.

However, it has attracted the attention of many giant companies such as Arasaka, Military Technology, and Yeshi Company.

Arasaka "recruited" Ultra Cunningham in a unique way, and based on this, he developed the Soul Killer program.

After the Soul Killer program is activated, all the information in the human brain will be copied and extracted by the program to form a clone of the data consciousness, which is called "imprint".

At the same time, the program will upload the "imprint" to a subnet or cyberspace, and kill his original consciousness.

In the fourth enterprise war, Arasaka and military technology launched a protracted cyber hacking offensive and defensive war.

In the end, Arasaka used soul killer technology to burn tens of thousands of military technology hired hackers to end this electronic cyber war.

Since then, military technology has been trying to steal it, with little to gain.

There is intelligence that military technology has supported Johnny's Silver Hand terrorist attack, with the aim of completely destroying this technological foundation, the Arasaka Tower subnet.

After Tang Yu browsed through this information, it was basically consistent with what he knew, and the information was very credible.

In August 2023, the nuclear explosion burned down almost half of the city of nights.

That small nuclear bomb was sponsored by military science and technology to Johnny.

And after so many years, Arasaka is still using the soul killer program to roast other people's brains.

Even if it is far away in the low-earth orbit space station, as long as it is invaded by Arasaka's powerful hacker system, it may be burned by the soul killer at any time and extract the imprint of the consciousness body.

Tang Yu couldn't help but think that in the Arasaka Pagoda where he was located, in the basement of the ground floor, there were still a large number of digital souls in the gods.

They are like unjust souls trapped in hell, no matter what they enter the cycle of life and death, they can only wander in the Arasaka subnet day after day, without rest.

A large number of human consciousness imprints were developed for Arasaka, providing a considerable number of experimental samples.

Tang Yu speculated.

The reason why Arasaka Saburo kept the rebel son Arasaka Yoixuan is very likely to be related to the imprint covering experiment.

Experimental human subjects, in terms of genes, personality, emotion, etc., similar and close to the 'imprint', may have a higher success rate.

Johnny Silverhand's digital soul is not in the Night City Arasaka Tower Shinkoshi, but far away in the Arasaka headquarters in Kyoto.

Even if Tang Yu wanted to rescue his old friend, he was more than willing to do it.

I have to wait for Arasaka Yoshinobu to have a falling out with his father, bring the RELIC chip to Night City, and then think of a proper way to get it.

Tang Yu continued to browse through other intelligence, trying to find a piece of information that met the requirements of the mission.

It is necessary to be able to expose the shortcomings of military science and technology, cause them some trouble, and then bring it to the board of directors to talk about things.

It is also necessary to clear the suspicion of Arasaka and avoid a head-on conflict between the two companies, which will affect the "rapport" relationship between Komichiko and Shin Americalika.

"This company is really not a good dog"

Tang Yu sighed.

Suddenly.

He thought of the middle-aged lame man he met last night when he ran to buy water at night, participated in the metal war, burned off one leg and discharged from the army, and mentioned that he didn't want to become a cyber maniac.

The middle-aged lame man has a somewhat similar experience with the cyber madman James Norris.

All have participated in wars, are veterans, and have a background in military technology.

Apparently.

The middle-aged lame man chose to accept the more advanced and advanced prosthetics provided by military technology.

Then it is very likely that he will end up like James, becoming a cyber maniac.

But the result of refusal is just as bad, relying on a meager discharge fee, it can only be said that he is struggling to survive in Night City.

Tang Yu's brows furrowed slightly, and he continued to follow his train of thought.

"If we take this incident as a starting point, find conclusive evidence, and expose the scandal of some military technology treating veterans, it may be able to counter the wave of military technology."

"But it's useless to just set off a wave and shout a few slogans, the company's dirty things have long been known in Night City."

"It is necessary to affect the vital interests of military science and technology, and to cut the flesh off them with real knives and guns"

"Otherwise, I won't be able to put it on the board table, and I won't be able to convince Michiko"

Tang Yu browsed for a moment, but he learned a lot about the recent trends in military science and technology.

There were those who transported weapons into the Night City, and those who escorted some important people out of the city, all of which did not meet the requirements of Tang Yu's mission.

Browse for a moment, there is not much useful information.

Tang Yu withdrew from the intelligence system, turned off the computer, and closed his eyes to recuperate.

"Some things are in a hurry, and there may be a new turn for the better."
