Chapter 134: Mine
A black business taxi was slowly driving down the empty road.
In the black-leather soft-packed car, the bald head Delaman in the electronic screen asked mechanically, "Mr. Tang, are you going to Pier 4 of Night City?" ”
Tang Yu sat in the back seat of the car and said in a deep voice: "Go directly." ”
Delaman automatically navigated the destination, started the vehicle and prepared to go, and at the same time suggested with concern: "Mr. Tang, the weather is light and rainy today, the temperature outside is low, and the cool breeze at the bay pier is strong, Delaman can provide you with a raincoat jacket." ”
Tang Yu rejected Dlaman's 'kindness', and reminded in turn: "Old De, concentrate on driving." ”
Delamane closed his mouth in amusement, and said no more.
Tang Yu sat in the warm and comfortable carriage, looking through the window, it was drizzling outside, and the rain drops fell on the window, gradually covering a layer of mist.
He went to Pier 4 in Night City Bay today because of Kerry's strong invitation, saying that he had to meet and that he had something to say.
Kerry also chartered a yacht for this purpose and waited for him in the bay.
Tang Yu used to be familiar with Kerry, and knew that his orientation was somewhat open, and he never forgot his big brother Johnny.
Think of it this way.
He really had some doubts that the relationship between Kerry and Lai Xuan would be a little open.
After all, the two eat supper together, and they both love rock and roll, and it is estimated that they often talk about silver hands together, which can definitely be regarded as smelling similar.
However, these are still speculations, and they can't really be counted.
Tang Yu had no intention of going through Kerry to catch Arasaka Yoixuan's line.
Because he has enough hole cards to convince Arasaka Yori, he can't be guilty of involving Kerry in the internal struggle of the Arasaka family.
He's just a rock kid and there's nothing good to be gained from being involved in a power game.
It is estimated that this is also the reason why Johnny did not choose to take Kerry with him when he was nuclear bombed Arasaka Tower.
Johnny is still very measured about this matter, and he can clearly distinguish which friends to do and which ones.
Other than that.
The riots in the company square would not have had Kerry agree to hold this nostalgic rock concert, and it would not have had the effect he wanted.
He impersonated Johnny to persuade Kerry, and although he succeeded in helping Kerry become popular, he still 'deceived' Kerry after all.
Johnny Silverhand, Kerry's big brother, didn't really come back to him.
In the face of Kerry's invitation, Tang Yu had to go to the appointment, and some things had to be explained.
At Kerry's request, Tang Yu went alone and did not bring Sasha out.
He sat back in the seat, closed his eyes, and couldn't help but start thinking about something that had happened recently.
Especially the riot in the company square made Tang Yu think a lot.
Even though the riots succeeded in burning down half of the biotechnology building, the company's fundamentals remained unshaken.
The foundations of giant corporations are far from being easily destroyed by a riot.
Other than that.
In this riot, many forces have obtained the benefits they want.
In the grand scheme of things, the impact of this riot is indeed limited.
But for Tang Yu, the whole thing and the plan was a success, because it fulfilled the meaning behind it.
Not only did she solve the mystery of Sasha's past and fulfill her wishes, but she also burned down half of the biotechnology building, giving everyone a sigh of relief.
The most important thing is that the people involved in this matter unconsciously stood on the same side and gradually coalesced.
Tang Yu's goal from the beginning was not to burn down the biotechnology company, but to unite people's hearts through this matter.
And send a signal to more people that the company is not indestructible, at least unite more people to come in, and there is still the possibility of confronting the company.
It's just that.
This force is too weak, even if Tang Yu gathered many forces to contribute to this riot, it was still a 'small fight'.
Hold a concert, engage in a frenzied riot, burn down a company building.
For Kerry, for Gloria, for Sasha, and for Mann, these things are probably enough to remember for a lifetime.
But for Tang Yu, it's really not an achievement.
back then.
He teamed up with Yoshinobu Arasaka to launch the Fifth Corporate War, which involved half the world.
But the company is far more powerful than imagined, and the counterattack force launched is unprecedented.
When the tiger wolf of capital really opened its eyes and revealed its sharp claws, the suffocating sense of oppression made people have nothing to hide.
Time is getting tighter, the road still has to be taken step by step, and everyone still needs time to grow.
Tang Yu exhaled softly, trying to pull his thoughts back on track.
Michiko is assigned an errand and puts him in charge of cleaning up the Tiger Claw Gang so that the Tiger Claw Gang can really be used by her.
Tang Yu has a good understanding of the Tiger Claw Gang, and as a minion of Arasaka Company, he often does those dirty jobs for Arasaka's high-level executives.
Behind the Tiger Claw Gang is indeed Arasaka, but the high-level Arasaka who controls the Tiger Claw Gang are also divided into factions.
According to Michiko, most of the Tiger Claw Gang are from Kyoto and are closely related to the Arasaka family in Kyoto.
Although Michiko can make the Tiger Claw Gang work, she is not worried about the people inside.
She didn't say it too thoroughly, she just handed over Tang Yu to clean up the Tiger Claw Gang.
Tang Yu estimated that these people in the Tiger Claw Gang might not buy much of Michiko's face, and even intended to oppose her.
Most of the members of the Tiger Claw Gang are from Kyoto, and they follow the traditional spirit of humility and humility, and have always been subordinate only to Arasaka orthodoxy.
Although Michiko sits in the Night City Arasaka Tower, she is not sincerely recognized by the top management of the Tiger Claw Gang.
However, Komi Chiko can also see that she only wants the Night City Tiger Claw Gang to be obedient, not to control the entire Tiger Claw Gang.
Night City's Tiger Claw Gang is just one of many.
Even so, the Night City Tiger Claw Gang is also a force to be reckoned with, with a sphere of influence that spans multiple areas of Night City, and is extremely arrogant.
This gang of Kyoto rampers is incompatible with the Mox Gang.
Most of the Tigerclaw's profits come from the black industry, so they are eyeing the girls on the streets.
Once Tang Yu took Judy to cut the Tiger Claw Gang's lair and dealt with those guys with tattoos on their faces.
But it didn't take long for a new batch of high-ranking members of the Tiger Claw Gang to take up the throne, and the entire Tangkou activity was not affected in the slightest.
So.
Tang Yu wants to make the Tiger Claw Gang obedient, it's not just a massacre, he has to put a chain around the neck of this group of guys to bite wherever he wants.
He could almost foresee now that Michiko was in such a hurry to consolidate her power, most likely in response to Lai Xuan's arrival, and Lai Xuan's arrival in Night City was a foregone conclusion.
After all, the tiger has been trapped in the cage for a long time, and when it comes out, it will eat people.
With Lai Xuan's temperament, once he finds an opportunity to escape from Kyoto and come to Night City this time, he must be ready to openly break with Arasaka Saburo and compete for the level.
Although the Night City Arasaka Tower is only a North American branch, it is enough to compete with the head office of Arasaka in Kyoto in terms of status and strength.
This Arasaka Tower hides too many secrets.
This city of the night has the power to resist Arasaka.
The Delamain car slowly arrived at Bay Pier 4, stopped on the side of the road, and prompted.
"Mr. Tang, the destination you specified has arrived."
Tang Yu opened his eyes at this time, ordered Druman to stop here and wait for him to come back, and then pushed the car door and got out of the car.
He stood at the bay pier, the salty, wet and cold sea breeze and rain coming towards him, and he raised his eyes to look at the vast sea, the waves were slightly undulating, shrouded in a cloudy sky.
The wide marina is anchored with many luxury yachts.
Probably due to the weather, on days when there is no sun, there are significantly fewer people driving yachts to sea.
Tang Yu got up and walked towards Pier 4, and soon saw a private yacht parked on the shore, already waiting on the shore.
Kerry stood on the deck of the yacht, one foot on the crossbar fence, saw Tang Yu coming, beckoned and smiled.
"Don, this way!"
Tang Yu looked over and saw that Kerry still had the same trademark short silver hair, wearing a black denim riding jacket, several gold necklaces around his neck, holding his favorite tomahawk guitar, standing on the deck of a white private yacht, waving his hand and shouting to him.
He walked to the edge of the dock and stepped up the stairs to the deck of the yacht.
After getting on board.
Kerry invited Tang Yu to walk to the bow of the boat, saying as he walked.
"Don, thank you very much for coming, let's go around the bay today."
With that, Kerry sat down on the deck upholstery couch and picked up the tomahawk guitar.
Tang Yu sat on the other side of the soft leather sofa and said bluntly: "You're welcome, you seem to be in a good mood today." ”
He remembered that the luxury yacht seemed to belong to Kerry's broker, and the guys made a lot of money by squeezing Kerry.
At that time, Johnny had to play tricks on his little brother Kerry, and several people burned the boat directly on a whim.
Unexpectedly, he sat on the yacht again in the blink of an eye, but only he and Kerry, Johnny, and V had not yet arrived.
Kerry leaned back on the couch with both legs on his legs, and said with a smile, "I'm in a good mood indeed, and my life has been much easier since you taught those vampires a good lesson." ”
Tang Yu knows that MSM Records will not let go of Kerry's cash cow, but at least he will be honest.
As a rock superstar, Kerry signed with MSM Records, and all aspects of record production, publicity, and sales were in the hands of the record company.
As a singing artist, he can only obey and cooperate unconditionally, even if he knows Arasaka Yoixuan, the relationship between the two is limited to rock and roll.
As the prince of Arasaka Company, Arasaka Yoshinobu has more friends, and now he is still far away in Kyoto, so it is naturally impossible to take care of Kerry.
Tang Yu said casually: "It's good to be honest, the boss of MSM Records, I have traveled thousands of miles to find my old boss to intercede." ”
"Now the Arasaka entertainment industry is also making great progress, but it is not weaker than those old record companies in star-making ability."
Kerry played a few chords casually, changing his usual flamboyant and manic style, but it seemed a little gentle and soothing.
In the past, when Kerry heard this, he was afraid that his mood would inevitably become irritable again, but today he seemed very relieved, and said with some teasingness.
"Isn't it, the hottest group now, a super idol girl group from Kyoto, the songs they sing, I have never heard of it."
"Later, someone told me that those three cubs even covered my songs, and they almost made me sick."
"I'm a cowardly agent, I don't even dare to fart, I know that the other party is an entertainment artist under Arasaka Company."
"But then again, this concert didn't affect your work."
When Tang Yu heard Kerry mention the combination of the idol girl group, he directly remembered the three sisters of the strong group.
These three cherry blossom girls were thieves and fans of Kerry, and later Tang Yu also took action to solve the trouble between Kerry and them.
It seems that some agreement has been reached between the two record companies, and they want to hold a joint concert without telling their respective artists.
Kerry almost lost his anger when he learned that he was working with the three of them, thinking that the Ganglie group was a thief in the music industry, and they became popular by covering his songs and capital, without any musical literacy.
Who knows, after Kerry met the three sisters of Ganglie, he was fascinated by a bite of Krissan.
Later, the joint concert was very successful, and Tang Yu also met the three girls, and even had a relationship with the singer named Blue Moon among them.
Naturally, this matter couldn't be hidden, but at that time, the two were still 'brothers', and they were fighting together all day long, and they didn't expect so many episodes to happen later.
Tang Yu didn't plan to hide anything about the Arasaka Tower, after all, Kerry was just an outsider, so he said bluntly: "It's somewhat influential, the building in the Arasaka Tower is full of human spirits, and the slightest wind and grass is divine." ”
After listening to it, Kerry laughed heartily: "I guess after the concert and the riot, I don't know how many people think we have something, news, entertainment, gossip and all kinds of headlines, I have dominated the list for many days." ”
"Before, I thought that becoming popular would make me happy, or that it would make me feel a little more secure."
"Now, I understand that everything is wrong, and to be honest, these so-called headlines and traffic don't mean much to me anymore."
That concert, and the subsequent riots in the company square, have completely propelled Kerry to the altar of music.
Many entertainment media have praised the return of the former rock kid, using music to awaken people's long-dormant frenzy and shouts.
With the help of the current mayor, Lucius Lane, Kerry has become a representative of Night City's rebellion against corporations and authority.
Wherever he went, he was warmly welcomed by the people, and countless spotlights were refocused on him.
Tang Yu knew that it was not fame and fortune that healed Kerry's heart, but the rock and roll he loved the most and the martial arts band he missed the most.
"You can't say that, after becoming popular, at least you don't have to pretend to be depressed to hype up traffic."
"But I'll persuade you somewhat, the three sisters of Ganglie, you can really consider cooperating."
"After all, whoever is a star will think that he is too popular, don't let it get cold after a while, and regret it when the time comes."
Kerry couldn't help but laugh again, and said bluntly: "Haha, there are many people who are popular, and if it's cold, it's cold, forget it, don't mention these bad things." ”
"Don, don't smash my field, I want to invite you to chat today, let's go, go to the bay."
Anyway.
Cley's eyes turned, and he steered the yacht out of port and headed for the bay.
"Uh, you wait for me to find out where the hair switch is, well, I found it."
"Wizard, go!"
As soon as the words fell.
The luxury yacht slowly drifts off the shore and heads out to sea.
The two sailed on a luxury yacht on the gently undulating sea.
Kerry gently played his priceless tomahawk guitar in one hand and hummed a ditty softly.
"I've never had such an explosion of inspiration as today, as if I have an endless song in my head, and I can make up a paragraph with a casual hum."
"Seriously, Don, I really want to thank you for that concert, at least it allowed me to get my former self back."
"It took almost 50 years for me to understand that the cycle of life has come full circle and come to this day."
Tang Yu looked at Kerry's wanton and free appearance, he should have figured out a lot, and that concert was of very profound significance to Kerry.
made him find the young man who loved rock and roll fifty years ago, and returned to the days when he teamed up with Johnny to hold concerts.
Kerry, who is over half a hundred years old, is qualified to say a word.
Ye Qing returned.
Kerry's eyes were deep, looking at the horizon and he said with a sigh: "I have lived in Johnny's for a long time, and I have seen him shine brighter day by day, and it is safe to say that no one is more suitable for rock and roll than Johnny." ”
"Johnny saved rock and roll, and I wouldn't have survived a day without him."
"How good is our relationship, I'm not even afraid of your jokes, I also stole Johnny's ** at the time."
"So, after Johnny left, he was completely imprinted in my mind, and I really wanted to pull him out, but I couldn't."
"I found that in fact, what I'm afraid of is not losing fame and popularity, or being misunderstood by someone, but relying on the popularity of idol girl groups."
"You may not understand, but what I'm really afraid of is living in Johnny's shadow, and having his shadow in whatever I sing or do."
Tang Yu felt that Johnny's personality was indeed too irresponsible for Kerry.
Johnny is ruthless by nature, never considers anyone's feelings when doing things, and will be desperate as long as he can achieve his goal.
At the youngest age of his life, Kerry met a confident and masculine rock star uncle, and worship is normal.
In Night City, no one is going to teach Kerry how to behave in the world, everything is based on feelings.
But at that time, Johnny always just regarded Kerry as a little brother, and his mind was full of * turning over the Saka Tower.
It can be said that Johnny thinks more about the word Arasaka than he thinks about his ex-girlfriends Rogge and Ott combined, and he has no time to take care of the little sensitive thoughts of Kerry's little brother.
Tang Yu said in a deep voice: "Don't be so depressed, at least you are doing well without Johnny." ”
Kerry heard Tang Yu's painless comfort, but he reluctantly thanked him.
"Yes, I became a household name in Night City on my own, releasing albums, buying a villa, and buying a luxury car."
"Now, I'm red again."
Kerry was already a little emotional when he said this.
"I feel inspired to write songs and release albums, knowing that my first song was composed on the sea."
"That song became a hit single for the band, and even Johnny couldn't write it."
Kerry said this, and couldn't help but stop again.
Unexpectedly, it came back to Johnny.
He was silent for a moment, stopped playing in his hand, looked at Tang Yu closely, and asked, "Actually, Johnny didn't come back." ”
Apparently.
Kerry had long suspected that Tang Yu was impersonating Johnny, but it was so similar that Kerry preferred to believe the fact that Johnny was back.
But now.
Kerry has made up his mind to step out of Johnny's shadow and embrace life with a new attitude.
Tang Yu stretched out his hand and motioned for Kerry to hand over the tomahawk guitar.
Kerry looked at the tomahawk guitar in his hand, then handed it to Tang Yu, and said at the same time: "Lancaster, specially customized, I have one here, and the military technology boss has one." ”
Tang Yu took the guitar and swung the strings a few times, emitting bursts of electronic sound.
"I know."
Once he found the right tone, he began to play it at will, and his fingering was so flexible that it was Johnny's favorite rhythm when he heard it.
Kerry's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he asked with a smile: "Sure enough, it can play so well, it's exactly the same, even I lied to it." ”
Tang Yu said while playing: "Johnny will come back, you will wait until the day when the martial arts band is really reorganized." ”
Will Johnny be coming back?
Kerry was suddenly stunned, and just looked at Tang Yu quietly, without saying a word.
He knew that Tang Yu was not a man of his own words, and since he personally said that Johnny could come back, he must know something.
And.
Tang Yu and Johnny are not from the same era at all.
can actually practice Johnny's fingering exactly the same as Johnny, I'm afraid Johnny himself will say a word when he comes.
Kerry felt that Tang Yu and Johnny must have some kind of close connection to understand Johnny so well.
In fact.
When Kerry figured it out, he guessed that Tang Yu was pretending to be Johnny, and he was still a little more lonely in his heart after all.
He really wanted to see Johnny so much that he was willing to trust Tang Yu and agreed to go to the risky concert.
Kerry has found himself in the concert and rekindled the rock and roll blood in his heart.
Kerry really doesn't need Johnny now, but when he heard Tang Yu say that Johnny could come back, he still couldn't help the emotions in his heart.
Kerry suddenly turned over from the deck sofa and stood up, stretched out his hand to Tang Yu for the guitar, and said with a smile: "Today, I want to say goodbye to the past, give me the piano, let me smash her to pieces, and then we will burn this broken ship together." ”
Tang Yu held the priceless tomahawk guitar in his arms, and looked at Kerry with some puzzlement: "Say goodbye to the past, why do you smash guitars and burn yachts?" ”
Kerry explained with some excitement: "It's like fire and wine, it's like riots, it's like burning company buildings, we have to have a fight, so that there is a sense of saying goodbye to the past!" ”
He was very excited, but seeing Tang Yu's indifferent look, he was suddenly a little puzzled, thinking that Tang Yu was worried about the yacht and guitar, and said again.
"Don't care so much, the company has burned, let's burn a yacht what, this yacht is my agent's, the guitar is too old, it's already an antique, if you want it, I'll go back and send you a few, pick whatever you want, it's all a collector's edition."
"Don't you want to smash everything?"
"I don't want to."
Tang Yu said indifferently: "Just give me this guitar, as for this yacht, it's mine now, I don't think your agent should have any opinions, right?" ”
Kerry: "."
PS: There is no one tonight, I have been very busy recently, so I will temporarily adjust one shift of six to seven thousand, and wait for next Tuesday to try to restore two shifts.
Thank you to the following gold owners for rewarding the life!
