Arasaka Tower.

Special assistant?

Tang Yu just walked into Xiao Michiko's spacious office on the front foot, and took the initiative to greet the convenience and briefly introduce himself.

He guessed that the other party should be Michiko's personal assistant, and he didn't pay much attention to it, but he felt that her words and deeds seemed a little weird.

Sasha politely folded her hands in front of her abdomen, a pair of beautiful pink eyes with large blue eyes that shimmered with neon texture.

A set of pure white uniform dresses and short skirts that appropriately wrap the whole body, plus black long-legged leather boots, outline the curve of the slender waist.

The short black hair is wrapped like cat ears, and the black hoop neck band adds a bit of playful cat lady flavor.

The reason why Tang Yu felt strange was not because of Sasha's beautiful appearance, but because the way she spoke and her body language seemed to be a little stiff and didn't look very coordinated.

He didn't think too much about it, maybe it was the black technology developed by Arasaka, such as cyber androids and the like.

Over the years, Arasaka has been deeply involved in cloning, bionics, consciousness replication, cyberprosthetics, etc.

After the Internet crash, a lot of the once sophisticated research data was lost outside the black wall.

Many of Arasaka's R&D projects have also been forced to stop, and if you want to restart those stealthy research, you have to send hackers to dive deep into the cyberspace to 'mine'.

It's just that Tang Yu has not been in charge of related projects, so he doesn't know much about it.

He saw that there was only one set of directors' office for Michiko Komiko, so he got up and walked over, sat on the office chair, and felt a little about the office experience of director Arasaka.

"I can only say so-so."

The empty office floor highlights the minimalist style of Michiko.

The special assistant also slowly followed, standing quietly on the side, slim and slim, as if waiting for instructions.

Slightly mechanical steps, slightly stiff dialogue, delicate porcelain doll-like makeup, simple and capable dress.

It's a bit unbelievable.

Tang Yu helped the black frame and scanned her, but no abnormalities were found, and all human biological signs were available.

He asked the special assistant next to him, Michiko.

"Sasha Yakovleva, how did Director Michiko arrange for the remote meeting?"

Sasha's eyes sparkled, as if he was processing the message he received, and then replied politely: "Director Michiko, please take care of everything, the remote connection program has been prepared as required, and you can choose to turn it on at any time." ”

Tang Yu's fingertips tapped the silver office desktop, turned on the office holographic projection, and under the interweaving of several beams, a clear three-dimensional picture was suspended in the air, connecting the jungle conference room in real time.

The directors of Arasaka Tower have already taken their seats and are preparing to wait for today's senior board meeting.

Tang Yu actually didn't care much about the content of the board of directors, and wanted to know what Komi Chiko would talk to him about after the meeting.

If there is any way to live, it will be a little annoying, after all, he is the deputy minister of the Ministry of Counterintelligence, and he is not the personal assistant of Michiko, who keeps working like this, and he is really a tool man.

Now it is equivalent to Tang Yu in Arasaka Company, and one person has to do three jobs.

Arthur Jenkins is on a business trip, and the Counterintelligence Department has a mess waiting for him.

The real boss of the Special Operations Department, Susan Abernathy, is on leave of absence, and the entire department has no backbone.

There is also a director of Arasaka waiting, and I don't know if I will arrange a private job next.

Even if he Tang Yu is highly skilled, if he wants to drive three carriages, he will have to work hard to get it.

Tang Yu rubbed his brows, and couldn't help but sigh that it was better to go out on duty, not only to get salaries and bonuses, but also to find opportunities to fish outside.

Sasha next to him seemed to be a little depressed when he saw Tang Yu, leaned forward slightly, and asked politely: "Mr. Tang, Sasha noticed that you are in a state of mental fatigue, do you want to start Sasha's service mode?" ”

What service model?

Tang Yu looked up at Sasha and found that her facial expression was naturally smiling, and she didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with what she said just now.

Odd.

But he had just scanned and detected the other party, his biological signs were normal, and he had all the characteristics of a human being, even if his appearance was a little distorted, but it was obviously maintained by special means, and it was not even clear that he could not distinguish this detail.

And he also found that Sasha not only has hacking methods, but also has obvious traces of combat implanted prosthetic loading.

It's just that how a big living person behaves and behaves like a cyber android that has just left the factory.

Tang Yu looked directly at Sasha's colorful pupils, trying to find a clue in her eyes.

The eyes are as radiant as jewels, as deep as a cat's eye, as if they hide the deepest emotions in the heart.

Seeing Tang Yu staring directly at him, Sasha gradually showed a puzzled expression, and confirmed again: "Sasha noticed that your gaze is hot and intense, do you have any needs?" Sasha's service mode can be turned on. ”

Tang Yu: "."

He withdrew his slightly embarrassed gaze, thinking to himself how it was so strong and hot, the key is that Sasha has been recommending the service mode, this 'android' can deal with it.

Before he figured out the details of Sasha, Tang Yu could only classify her as a 'android', with human signs, but behaving like a newborn AI.

Tang Yu guessed that maybe it was some kind of terrifying black technology developed by Arasaka Company, and there were countless bloody and criminal stories behind it.

However, this is Michiko's special assistant, and it has little to do with him, so I don't pay much attention to whether Sasha is a real person or a android.

With that in mind.

Tang Yu took her words and asked rhetorically, "Tell me, what services do you have?" ”

When these words blurted out, Tang Yu felt as if he was talking to a non-human, which was weird.

It's like an artificial intelligence AI that takes over the human body and tries to present itself as a human being, and then wants to understand the thoughts and needs of real humans.

Sasha behaved naturally, his eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance, and he began to introduce: "You can choose to open a variety of Sasha service modes, including but not limited to the following modes, intimate service mode, family service mode, and work service mode"

"If you feel that the above service mode cannot meet your needs, you can also set the independent mode, Sasha will provide according to your individual needs, not limited to the following services, intimate mode plus maid service, battle mode plus hacking"

Wait a minute.

Tang Yu heard her say a lot, and felt more and more dizzy, this little Michiko's special assistant is really special enough, and even the intimate mode maid service has been set up.

Anyway, shouldn't this kind of special assistant be brought home? I actually got the company, and I don't know what Michiko thinks.

Tang Yu hurriedly waved his hand, signaled Sasha to stop the introduction, and then said helplessly: "Okay, okay, just pour you a cup of hot water." ”

Sasha immediately stopped talking, and after receiving Tang Yu's instructions, he replied seriously: "Okay, according to your biological signs, Sasha recommends that you take two hundred milliliters of water this time, and the water temperature is fifty-four degrees Celsius. ”

Tang Yu suddenly didn't know what else to say, so he could only nod and follow her advice.

Taking advantage of Sasha's efforts to pour water, Tang Yu watched the live broadcast of the board of directors.

Jungle Meeting Room.

As the name suggests, the theme is jungle greenery.

The large silver platform is surrounded by greenery and plants, and in the middle of the platform is a large conference table.

Arasaka's senior bodyguards were scattered around, keeping an eye on the wind and grass around them to ensure that the meeting was carried out safely.

The members of the Board of Directors of Night City Arasaka Tower have entered the conference room and sat in their own exclusive seats, and the atmosphere of the meeting has gradually become serious.

Tang Yu found that it was similar to the last time he watched the board of directors remotely, except that the bright prosthetics and luxurious clothes of the board members were different from before, and they became more high-end and refined.

The members of the Arasaka Board of Directors are already at the top of the Night City food chain, and they have access to all the latest and most cutting-edge technology, and prosthetic renewal is no different than eating.

The board members are here, and the next thing is to wait for Michiko Arasaka to appear.

It didn't take long.

Click, click, click.

With the sound of high-heeled shoes hitting the floor, Michiko slowly walked into the jungle conference room, surrounded by a group of private security guards.

She came to the conference table, stared at the audience, wearing a blue uniform skirt and blue crystal high heels, like a blue enchantress, and instantly became the focus of the audience.

Michiko looked around at the board members and found that after everyone arrived, she began to preside over the board meeting.

There are many main contents and decision-making matters of the meeting, not only the big exposure of Tang Yu's handling.

However, the exposure of the experimental prosthetic body of military science and technology is definitely the highlight of this board of directors.

Komichiko first worked with the board members to discuss matters such as diplomacy, trade, intelligence, special operations, etc., and even the development and expansion plan of the Arasaka Seaside Industrial Park.

Tang Yu dozed off a little at these discussions, after all, they were all unnutritious and old-fashioned things.

It is nothing more than to bring down others by various means, such as using Arasaka's powerful media matrix, legal team, fintech, and armed special operations, including but not limited to assassinations, kidnappings, extortion, and bribery.

As long as it can seek the greatest benefit for the company, it is unanimously approved by the board of directors, after all, the performance of the Night City Arasaka Tower is directly linked to their salary and bonus package.

Tang Yu's senses of the Arasaka Tower's rotten head to toes were even more disgusted and disgusted.

Starting from the core of the Arasaka company, the Arasaka family, all the way to the company's directors, management, and even the bottom staff, they have become the screws of the giant beast of Arasaka, constantly delivering nutrients and blood to it.

At this time, Sasha stepped forward with the warm water, carefully placed it on the table, and then stood obediently behind Tang Yu, folding his hands on his stomach without speaking.

Tang Yu took a sip of warm water, feeling that the temperature was suitable, so he thanked him.

Sasha replied softly, "You're welcome, Mr. Tang, are you tired?" ”

Tang Yu realized that she might have to sell strange services again, so he changed the subject and asked, "Sasha, how long have you been working in Arasaka?" ”

He didn't want to watch the board anyway, just look at Sashayakovleva's origins.

Sasha's eyes flickered slightly, as if he was thinking about it, as if he was searching for relevant information, and finally replied: "Mr. Tang, I'm sorry, Sasha can't answer this question, it's been in this office since Sasha opened his eyes." ”

Tang Yu nodded slightly, thinking that there was nothing wrong with her statement, Sasha, as Xiao Michiko's special assistant, is estimated to have been staying here to serve, otherwise where would there be so many strange service models.

I don't know what Sasha is all about, if it's really a cyber android, it's nothing to stay in this flat floor the size of half a football field, everything is set up mechanically.

But Sasha, who has a human body, may not be completely cyberidile, and even Tang Yu speculates that this near-perfect body may have been erased by Arasaka, and it may be an artificial intelligence that controls her, and this artificial intelligence may still be learning and growing.

Tang Yu saw that Sasha was not very smart, and felt that the latter was more likely, no matter how dark Arasaka was, he had seen all the dark methods, and it was not new to turn a living person into a cyber android.

In addition, Tang Yu knew that there was another exception, that is, AI brainwashing, but he directly ruled it out.

This is the high-level of the Arasaka Tower, if it is changed to the high-level of the Yeshi Company, then Tang Yu will choose AI brainwashing.

Therefore, Tang Yu thinks that the secret behind Sasha is probably not ordinary.

Arasaka used some special means to erase his consciousness, and then instilled into an AI program, working and living like a marionette.

Tang Yu looked at the large flat floor of the office, and suddenly felt that half of the football field was not so spacious.

He then asked, "Remember that you were a hacker yourself?" ”

Sasha's pupils shrank suddenly, stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Sasha can turn on the battle mode, and you can choose hacking functions, including not only electronic intrusion, but also prosthetic overheating."

Tang Yu saw that her answer was still so procedural, which showed that Sasha's artificial intelligence level still needed to be improved.

I thought about it.

Tang Yu turned his chair to face Sasha, then stood up, stared at her neon pupils with a slight bow, and said solemnly word by word: "Sasha, don't care about those who don't serve, and those garbage patterns, you have to feel yourself and say what you really want to say, understand?" ”

These words are incomprehensible to procedural AI, and only learning AI can comprehend some of them, but what Tang Yu really wants to test is whether the human consciousness in Sasha's heart still exists.

Tang Yu's sharp gaze carefully observed the changes in Sasha's micro-expression, whether it was the reaction at the corners of his mouth, the beating of his eyelids, or the subtle changes in his pupils, it was impossible to escape the magic eye.

In the face of Tang Yu's solemn question, as well as his see-through gaze, Sasha's whole person was stunned as if he was down, and his originally natural smiling expression froze, suddenly revealing a trace of panic.

Tang Yu caught this subtle look, and felt that he already had an answer in his heart.

Sasha quickly recovered, the corners of his mouth smiled, his eyes faced Tang Yu with some doubts, and said softly: "Sasha, it seems to understand a little." ”

This ambiguous answer made Tang Yu feel quite satisfied.

At least it shows that Sasha is learning and growing, otherwise if he continues to be so stupid, what is the difference between him and those intelligent robots made by Kangtao.

Tang Yu casually touched Sasha's cat's head.

"Yes, it's a quick learner."

After speaking, he turned around and sat back at his office, picked up his teacup and drank water, and continued to watch today's Arasaka board of directors.

And Sasha behind him, a touch of imperceptible joy flashed in his bright eyes, but it quickly disappeared, still slim, standing obediently behind Tang Yu.

As the meeting continued to advance, it soon moved on to the final key project, discussing the countermeasures against military science and technology.

Komichiko's waist seems to be very tough, and the last time she was choked by the hawks on the board of directors, she was scolded by her uncle Arasaka Yorinobu who was far away in Kyoto, and she wanted to scold her for a long time.

But she still maintained her old habit of letting the board members discuss with each other and find out the details before she could make a final decision.

On the issue of countering military science and technology, the debate among the board members gradually became fierce, and the meeting was full of gunpowder.

One of the board members took the initiative to state: "I think it is appropriate to counter military technology, but by no means in this way, exposing secret experiments in military science and technology will inevitably cause backlash." ”

"I think Director Jonny is right, there are shady things under the hands of all major companies in Night City, and we are all very aware of this, and now that these things are exposed in Night City, if military technology does the same, Arasaka will also fall into passivity."

"Indeed, if there is another wave of opposition to Arasaka, things will not be so easy to calm down, and the work of the city councilors will be more passive."

"Today, Mayor Lucius Lane has come to ask what is going on in this matter, and I want to know if Arasaka is deliberately provoking trouble, so that major companies can't get off the stage."

Mayor Lucius Lane has a close relationship with the Arasaka Company, and it was he who proposed that the Arasaka Company re-enter Night City six years ago to prevent Night City from being affected by the metal war, and finally received the honorary title of Liberty Mayor.

Today, Night City is an international independent city, unique in the world.

After listening to the speeches of these board members, Michiko Komi's expression was cold, and she completely disdained their speeches.

They were the ones who shouted that they wanted to go all out to counter military technology, and now they feel that there is a problem with countering military technology, and they are the same people.

There is no doubt that the faction to which this group of board members belongs is none other than the hawks of Arasaka Yoritobu.

Komichiko knew the reason why they repeatedly jumped sideways, and it was nothing more than hearing through various channels that her uncle Arasaka Yorinobu was coming to Night City.

At that time, it will be Arasaka Yoshinobu who will dominate Night City, and he wants to take the opportunity to embarrass Michiko and make her retreat.

If Arasaka Yoritomu really came to Night City, she would definitely not be able to compete with it, but now Arasaka Yoritobu's people are still in Kyoto.

The Arasaka Tower in Night City has to be decided by her little Michiko.

She had already calculated in her heart that as long as she caused trouble for military science and technology, and showed her attitude to her grandfather Arasaka Saburo, she was firmly on the position of the Arasaka family.

Then the possibility of Arasaka Lai Xuan coming to Night City is very low, without Arasaka Saburo's permission, even if Arasaka Lai Xuan came privately, Komichiko would not give him power.

Arasaka Company, her little Michiko will always only listen to one person, and that is the only god of Arasaka.

Saburo Arasaka-sama.

Johnny: "Instant noodles, I'm going to come up with a nice name, what do you think?" ”

Instant Noodles: "I think it's a good idea, you'll be called Keanu Reeves, and if you want to be more powerful, John Wick is a good fit for you." ”

Johnny: "With this name, I wouldn't have killed Arsaka Tower alone, what about Lao Tzu's DOG?" ”
