Rainy night.

The chill was chilling.

In Lao Wei's underground prosthetic clinic, Tang Yu stopped Sasha's follow-up examination in time.

Although Lao Wei didn't know why, he also seemed to realize that something was wrong, and immediately put away his hand to operate the screen.

The two looked at each other for a moment.

Tang Yu's expression was a little solemn, and he said bluntly: "Old Wei, just confirm that there is no problem." ”

Lao Wei didn't ask much, just nodded, and began to click on the screen to exit the visit.

After Tang Yu and all the other connected devices exited safely, he took out the nerve data cables around Sasha's neck and wrist.

"Sasha, wake up."

Hearing Tang Yu's soft call, Sasha's neon eyes opened, fluttered, and said after waking up.

"Sasha, Confirmed to be out of Supreme Privilege Mode."

Sasha quickly woke up, sat up from the operating table, looked back to normal, and politely thanked Lao Wei.

"Mr. Wei, thank you!"

Lao Wei just laughed dryly, no one had ever called him like this, and waved his hand back: "Just call me Lao Wei, Tang has always called me like this, after the examination, you are very healthy." ”

Sasha looked very happy after hearing this, and looked at Tang Yu for confirmation: "Mr. Tang, is this true?" ”

Tang Yu nodded affirmatively.

Sasha got up and left the operating table, walked to Tang Yu's side and was very happy: "As long as Sasha is healthy, he can continue to serve Mr. Tang well!" ”

Lao Wei just smiled and didn't say anything.

Tang Yu raised his hand and touched her cat's head, and then said, "Take out the bionic scleral crystal, since you have come to Lao Wei, you can implant it by the way." ”

Sasha immediately took out the small box from his coat pocket and handed it to Lao Wei with both hands.

Lao Wei opened the box and took a look, inside was a pair of bionic scleral crystals, soaked in sterile liquid, which were also high-end optical implants produced by Qilusi.

It's just that this set of bionic sclera is placed in the safety area before the lens of the original human eye, which can be implanted or detached, and is only suitable for the original eye, which is expensive and usually customized.

Tang Yu introduced: "This pair of bionic sclera is adapted to Sasha's visual system. ”

Lao Wei picked up the box and walked to the workbench behind him, and said with a smile while preparing the surgical implantation tools.

"With this pair of bionic scleras, the basic functional modules can also be incorporated into it, so that you can also use the bionic sclera when it is not convenient for you to wear glasses."

"The bionic sclera is brand new, there is no problem, you sit on the operating chair first, it is estimated that it will take less than five seconds, and it will be good in the blink of an eye."

Tang Yu took off his glasses and put them away, sat directly on the operating chair, half-leaning, and planned to hand it over to Lao Wei to deal with: "Okay, Lao Wei, you can do whatever you want." ”

Soon.

Lao Wei walked over with the bionic sclera, sat on a chair to operate the screen, and then pulled a robotic arm and aimed the probe at Tang Yu's eyes.

"You just stare at the picture in the aperture, don't blink, just hold on for five seconds."

"Alright, that's it."

Without finishing a word, the bionic sclera has been implanted with the eye lens, which can be called femtosecond.

Lao Wei removed the mechanical arm and asked, "How do you feel?" ”

Tang Yu blinked, and found that there was only a slight foreign body sensation, but he quickly got used to it.

In my sight, various data prompts began to appear, as well as light blue text descriptions.

[User information confirmed]

【Tang Yu】

[Employee number: NC770416]

Tang Yu looked at Lao Wei.

【Victor Victor】

[Occupation: Doctor at the Little Chinatown Prosthetic Clinic, Watson District]

[Note: Former Demon Boxing Club Professional Boxing Fighter]

He looked at Sasha again.

【Sasha Yakovleva】

[Position: Special Assistant]

Tang Yu felt that the basic function was fine, so he said: "Everything is normal, there is no problem with auxiliary imaging." ”

Sasha on the side was a little excited: "Mr. Tang, after Sasha recognizes your bionic sclera, you can open the visual connection with Sasha." ”

"And you'll be able to go through the sclera more directly and use the hacking features that Sasha has mastered."

"Sasha can also serve you better and more timely!"

Hearing Sasha's active introduction, Tang Yu understood what Xiaomei Chiko said, and it was indeed true.

Sasha's function and role can really make up for Tang Yu's shortcomings in this regard.

Lao Wei prompted: "This is the main role of the bionic sclera is to assist, the running memory is not enough to support advanced hacking functions, and it can only store a small amount of information, you really need a good helper like Sasha." ”

Tang Yu nodded, Lao Wei was telling him that this sclera would not record what he saw, and was essentially just a pair of auxiliary function carriers.

Case.

He was relieved to use it, but he didn't expect to bother Lao Wei again.

Tang Yu stood up from the operating chair, and was not polite to Lao Weiduo, and teased: "Lao Wei, I owe you another debt, and if this continues, your land will soon become my private practice." ”

Lao Wei repacked the work table, reset and shut down the relevant instruments, and then turned around and said: "Anyway, there is no big list, you often come here, treat this place as your home, besides, you are cleaner than anyone else, and it is more difficult to earn some prosthetic money from you than to gamble on boxing matches." ”

Tang Yu smiled helplessly: "That's right, I don't have much chance to take care of your business, but recently I have a very solid wallet, and when I have time to make an appointment with Jack, we will go to Santo Domingue to watch the boxing match, I will have a treat." ”

Lao Wei walked to the counter of the old position, sat down on the stool again, looked at Tang Yu and Sasha, and said with a smile: "Okay, when you are not so busy, we can make an appointment, I have a lot of free time." ”

Tang Yu knew that the reason why Lao Wei Prosthetic Clinic was not very prosperous was that he never refused to accept the gang's blackmail, took over some cheap black prosthetics from the scavengers, and refused to do those prosthetic surgeries that were against his will but were profitable.

In short, Lao Wei's heart is like his person, peaceful, and like his technique, it is tough.

Tang Yu was also reluctant to break Lao Wei's state of life, repeating every day, calm and slightly monotonous.

Everything is fine.

The things that came to Lao Wei tonight have been done, and Tang Yu will no longer bother.

"That's okay, Lao Wei, I won't bother you to continue watching the boxing match, and we'll make an appointment again when we find time."

Lao Wei waved his hand at the two: "Let's go, it's raining heavily, don't get wet and catch a cold." ”

After speaking.

Lao Wei immersed himself in the world of boxing again, as if the wind and rain outside the house had nothing to do with him.

Sasha followed Tang Yu and said goodbye to Lao Wei.

"Lao Wei, Sasha will make an appointment with you for Mr. Tang next time to watch the boxing match, goodbye!"

After that, Tang Yu led Sasha out of the old Weiyi clinic, returned to the Misti divination house through the back door, and said goodbye to her.

Sasha likes Misty very much, especially the mysterious and playful tarot cards, and deliberately took the initiative to come forward and chat a few more words.

The two walked out of the store and picked up a transparent fluorescent umbrella placed in the corner.

Tang Yu opened the umbrella and stepped into the rain again, and Sasha hurriedly followed, not to be greedy for more fun.

On the way home, Tang Yu thought about Sasha's question, and temporarily confirmed that she was safe, which can be regarded as approving her as his special assistant.

Sasha is clean, and if there is a problem, it is also Michiko's ulterior motives and has nothing to do with Sasha.

Actually, Tang Yu has not taken a girl back to the apartment, but it is somewhat different from the current situation.

And V Zi and their relationship is a matter of course, and it is natural to come to that point, and both parties are willing to do it.

And he used to be more accustomed to staying in the V-sub apartment, and it was rare to live in his own luxurious large flat.

It's better to bring a special assistant home now, even though Sasha has an unparalleled obedience to him, which has always been artificially altered and distorted.

Moreover, in Sasha's mind, there is another primordial consciousness, which is unfamiliar with Tang Yu.

Tang Yu never advertised himself as a saint, but he just cherished feelings, the kind that he cherished.

If the person standing next to Tang Yu today is a real cyberpunk beautiful girl, he really doesn't mind being chic and having a dangerous and romantic chase under the neon lights of the city.

It's a pity that it's not suitable yet.

Sasha is not the original Sasha, and Tang Yu is also not the original Tang Yu.

Two strange people, just by chance, live in a neon mansion in Night City, maintaining an inexplicable relationship.

It's both intimate and estranged.

To be honest, this was something Tang Yu hadn't expected.

Many of the major events that are happening now are deviating from his past experience and cognition.

Who would have thought that after being reborn, he would pick up a cat lady and go home, or the kind of cultivation department.

Tang Yu tilted his head slightly, and found that Sasha happened to be looking up at him as well.

The eyes are facing each other.

Sasha's smile was bright.

At this moment, countless neon lights over the city turned into stars and fell into her eyes, colorful and dazzling.

And in those colorful pupils, only Tang Yu was the only one who was contained.

Tang Yu stretched out his warm palm again and gently touched her cat's head.

Sasha squinted slightly, smiled like a crescent moon, and quietly felt that the unique breath of Tang Yu's palm was different from the coldness of the prosthetic, his hand was warm and soft.

"Sasha, let's go, let's go home."

The night is deep.

Arasaka Tower R&D Department.

Tanaka, the head of the R&D department, had just walked out of the laboratory gate and looked at the time, it was almost time.

He is now in a hurry to go somewhere to find the famous Black Mewtwo editor Jimmy Kurosaki to buy and experience the latest Black Mewtwo, which is one of his few hobbies.

Jimmy Kurosaki's status in the Mewtwo world is definitely the number one director, and the Black Mewtwo released is guaranteed to be fresh within twenty-four hours.

His style of making Black Mewtwo is often known for fierce gunfights, torture, and bloody battles, and he is especially good at making Cybermaniac first-person Black Mewtwo.

Many dignitaries who like this bite are all VIP customers of Jimmy Kurosaki, and they can enjoy customized Black Super Dream services.

Tanaka twisted his somewhat stiff neck and walked to the public elevator hall to the lobby of the Arasaka Tower.

Calls a Delaman taxi and starts heading to Jimmy Kurosaki's secret Black Mewtwo base.

Tanaka doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone now, and the hobby of watching Black Mewtwo is not very glamorous, and he often goes alone.

However, the theft of his exclusive car a few days ago made him vigilant for a while.

So I haven't traveled alone, resulting in missing several new Black Super Dreams, including the Cyber Maniac James's Battle Black Super Dream.

Tanaka knew the whole story of the company square, and the Counterintelligence Department had already retrieved the military-grade Swystein operation data.

But what really itched Tian Center was not this set of data, but the last madness of the cyber madman James before his death.

Company Square, bloody killings, ruthlessness, flesh and blood, one against hundred, almost every keyword hit Tanaka's high point.

He has worked in Arasaka Tower for many years, strictly abiding by the strict hierarchical order of the company and caring about the overall situation of the company in everything.

His mentality has changed subtly, and he has even fantasized about the moment of death when he stands on the top of the Arasaka Tower and slaughters everything.

In fact, Tanaka had already gotten the Black Super Dream chip, which was the first perspective of the cyber madman James before his death.

But he has never watched it alone, because only by going to Jimmy Kurosaki's secret base can he enjoy exclusive customization and bring the most extreme Mewtwo experience.

The stimulation of the senses during the fight is raised to the peak state, as if you are on the scene and cut everything.

Although Tanaka knew that military technology was investigating, it was the norm for him.

It is common for two major companies to investigate and infiltrate each other, as long as they do not go too far, they will not be investigated too deeply.

In addition, in order to avoid being ambushed, Tanaka's combat implant has been further strengthened.

Tanaka vaguely guessed something, and the military technology investigation had a deeper purpose for him.

"I'm afraid it's because of that military-grade Sianweistan that has attracted the attention of military technology."

"After all, as long as those sets of prosthetics can be retrieved and the re-development experiment is successful, it will be a devastating disaster for them."

"It's a pity that the sample data is not enough, and it is difficult to find a target now, which can be comparable to the cyber candidate of Adam's hammer."

Tanaka was pondering when he suddenly received a request for communication.

Susan Abernathy?

Tanaka's brows furrowed slightly, feeling a little strange.

"What is she calling to do so late, isn't she suspended?"

He thought about it in his heart for a while, estimating that there was a high probability that it was related to today's board of directors, and it was pointing to the counterintelligence department.

Susan Abernathy's contradictions with the Counterintelligence Department, especially Deputy Minister Tang Yu, have long been well known.

And the matter of countering military science and technology, Tang Yu was indeed a little reckless, which led to a lot of calls from the board of directors to deal with him.

Communication is on.

Tanaka: "Susan Abernathy, what's going on so late?" ”

Even if the other party is the director, Tanaka is not false at all, as the Arasaka family is in the lineage, this relationship is far more valuable than the position itself.

On the other end of the phone, Susan Abnadisi didn't beat around the bush and directly proposed: "Mr. Tanaka, I would like to invite you to cooperate once." ”

Tanaka didn't show any interest, and said in a low tone: "What to cooperate with, I hope you can be clear." ”

Susan Abernacy smiled: "Naturally, it's about the company's personnel, you know, there is also a vacancy in the counterintelligence department for a deputy minister, and their minister Arthur Jenkins has been on a business trip and can't come back for a while."

Tanaka: "The affairs of the Counterintelligence Department are not within my responsibility, and the upper echelons will naturally consider personnel arrangements. ”

Susan Abernathy was not annoyed by Tanaka's watertight answer, but continued to explain.

"It is appropriate for all departments to be in charge of all departments, but as the director of special operations, I have the responsibility and obligation to be in charge of the normal operation of the counterintelligence department, and now only Deputy Minister Tang Yu is in charge of the counterintelligence department."

"Tang Yu is also the deputy minister of the two departments, and so far, he has only been to the Special Operations Department once, and he has only been reimbursed for the mission expenses."

"It can be seen that Tang Yu can't handle the affairs of the two departments, just the bunch of stalls in the Counterintelligence Department is enough for him to be busy for half a day, not to mention being in charge of the Special Operations Department."

Tanaka can be regarded as hearing what she means, now that Arthur Jenkins of the Counterintelligence Department is not there, Tang Yu is too busy to run at both ends, and the Counterintelligence Department is extremely short of people.

If it is suggested at this time that the top of the board of directors can send a person to the counterintelligence department as deputy minister, then the key to the problem lies in this person.

The Counterintelligence Department is one of the core departments in the Night City Arasaka Tower, with a large number of company employees in secret information, as well as foreign operation privileges, which is indeed what Tanaka needs now.

But the position of deputy director of the counterintelligence department is not limited to him Tanaka, many forces are playing games, and who does not want to promote their own faction.

Tanaka pondered for a moment, did not express his position directly, wanted to listen to her arrangement, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Susan Abernashi explained, "My wish is to recommend one of your ministries to be the deputy head of counterintelligence, Kate. ”

When Tanaka heard the name, he fell silent.

Kate does work in the R&D department, but the real master behind it is actually Arasaka Yoritobu.

Although Arasaka Yoshinobu is far away in Kyoto, he is also looking for opportunities to plant chess pieces within the Arasaka company, and Arasaka Saburo turns a blind eye to what he does.

In addition, Arasaka Yorixuan is the nominal orthodox heir of the Arasaka Company, so the Arasaka Company has a large number of people who support him.

Before today's board meeting, there was a rumor that Arasaka Yoritobu was very likely to come to Night City.

But after the end of the board, this matter is likely to be in vain.

Michiko Arasaka stabilized the situation in Night City and proved her loyalty to the Arasaka family.

Now arranging for Arasaka Yoritobu to serve as deputy minister of the Ministry of Counterintelligence, which can be regarded as a disguised increase in his influence in Night City.

At present, Tang Yu is most likely to be on the side of Michiko Arasaka, so the two deputy ministers must be incompatible, and they will fight to the death.

In addition, Kate has worked under Tanaka for many years, and she is quite obedient, which is ten thousand times stronger than Tang Yu.

Every time I thought of Tang Yu's words at that time, as well as the appearance of oil and salt, my heart was also inexplicably irritable.

Susan Abernathy saw that Tanaka didn't say anything, and continued to persuade: "Don't you want Tang Yu to suffer a little about your son's business?" ”

"In addition, I can also help someone from my side and transfer to the counterintelligence department to help Kate sit in a secure position."

"What do you think?"

Tanaka immediately understood Susan Ebernasse's wishful thinking, and each of the two families installed one person in the counterintelligence department.

Kate is in the interests of Arasaka Yorinobu and also in line with his Tanaka needs, as long as the directors make a proposal to take office, and Arasaka Yorinobu exerts some pressure from Kyoto, Arasaka Michiko will most likely not be able to refuse.

After all, Michiko Arasaka has already saved Tang Yu from being dealt with, and if she prevents the reasonable arrangement of manpower to go to the counterintelligence department, it will cause even greater dissent.

Susan Abernathy, as the director, is not difficult to transfer a person to the counterintelligence department, just follow the normal procedures.

Tanaka was silent for a moment, and finally spoke: "Don't mention Katsuo's matter again, I only care about the company." ”

"Recommend Kate to serve as the deputy minister of counterintelligence, I can cooperate with you here, as for the person you want to arrange, it's your own convenience."

The two of them finished speaking.

Tanaka hung up the phone.

Looking at the receding night scene on both sides, he coldly opened his mouth and ordered, "Deraman, return." ”

Instant noodles: "Thank you to the 'Ramaqi' gold lord and helmsman for rewarding the work, I can't do it without a code word on the weekend, Johnny, don't bother me." ”

Johnny: "If you are kidnapped, just say it, this must be because of me, I found out that there is a financier named 'Ramae' who wants to threaten instant noodles with money as a threat!" It's still the same old thing, they want to take the opportunity to provoke me! Well, they got it! ”

V: "."

Johnny: "So what do you say, do you want to go to the little black room together?" Let's go get the instant noodles back? ”
