At the feast.

Arasaka Huazi knelt down in front of Tang Yu and said Arasaka Saburo's invitation directly in front of everyone.

As soon as these words came out, Michiko Komiko beside her and the entire inner hall looked over and looked at the two of them in unison.

Their gaze was no less astonished than when they saw something earth-shattering.

Being able to get Arasaka Saburo to meet alone is enough to show Tang Yu's weight.

There were so many elites from all over the world of Arasaka Company, and even many of them worked at the headquarters of Arasaka in Kyoto, but they had never been received separately by Saburo Arasaka.

Time.

Countless eyes contain indescribable envy or jealousy.

Maybe everyone present, except for Tang Yu, can't wait to get such an opportunity, a chance to meet San Lang to rise.

As long as he was summoned by Saburo-sama in person, not to mention the luck to be able to break into the Arasaka family, but this honor is enough to make people at all levels of Arasaka look at it differently, and often these points mean that the road to the workplace will be a thoroughfare in the future.

Tang Yu felt a little strange when he learned that Arasaka Saburo was going to invite him to meet alone, but his expression was still calm, neither humble nor arrogant.

It was not as happy as everyone here expected.

For such a result, he has made a mental presupposition.

Even if he didn't know why Saburo Arasaka wanted to see him by name, Tang Yu was fully prepared.

The next thing to talk about is most likely inseparable from Night City.

Tang Yu's identity is not special, even if his performance is excellent, but in the perspective of the entire Arasaka company, it is actually not very good.

In addition, the double deputy ministers are only ordinary high-level employees, and they are actually no different from wage earners.

The only thing that really distinguishes him from the high-level elites around him is that he is from Night City.

So he estimated that what Saburo Arasaka was going to talk about would be inseparable from Night City.

Tang Yu followed Arasaka Huazi to get up, and before leaving, he deliberately looked back at Komichiko, and found that her eyes were also full of surprise, as if she didn't know about Arasaka Saburo's sudden summons.

Xiaomei Chiko wanted to speak and stopped, but because of the occasion, she had to keep silent, but her eyes were faintly worried, probably not knowing what Arasaka Saburo's intentions were, and she was a little worried that Tang Yu would be overwhelmed in front of Arasaka Saburo.

Tang Yu followed Arasaka Huazi to the back hall of the main hall, bypassed the screen, and walked into a corridor and path.

After twisting and turning, I finally came to a door.

Arasaka Hanako took a step forward first, bowed her head and shouted outside the door.

"Father, Mr. Tang has already brought it."

As soon as the words fell.

The wooden door slowly opened from the middle to both sides, and two little maids could be seen kneeling beside the door, holding the edge of the door frame with both hands.

Tang Yu found that almost all of the Arasaka Saburo Mansion were pure wooden buildings, and there were few traces of steel and electronics, and even the security scans were very hidden.

As soon as he passed through the corridor, Tang Yu was keenly aware that he had been captured by the probe and carried out various security scans.

After the wooden door opened, Arasaka Hanako stepped aside, made a gesture of invitation to Tang Yu, and let him enter the house.

Tang Yu collected his thoughts a little, started to walk over the steps of the wooden house, and walked into the room.

As soon as he entered the house, he quickly had a general idea of the furnishings in the house.

The structure and layout of the whole house are very simple, the pen, ink, paper and inkstones are placed on the table, and there are several picture scrolls hanging on the wall niches around it, it seems that this should be the study of Arasaka Saburo.

At this time.

The real helmsman of Arasaka Company, Saburo Arasaka is facing away from Tang Yu, with his hands behind his back, standing firmly in front of a portrait of a person.

The crutches that he had been holding before were placed next to the table.

Tang Yu didn't speak first, but set his eyes on the portrait of the figure, the brush and ink used the ancient style of character painting, and it could be roughly seen from the appearance of his clothes that he was a samurai general.

Tokugawa Ieyasu?

Seeing the name of the character at the top of the portrait, Tang Yu was not unfamiliar with this name.

Tokugawa Ieyasu, the first shogun, had a proud record of unifying the island nation.

can let Saburo Arasaka hang in the study, which shows his status in his heart.

Tang Yu thought about it, Tokugawa Ieyasu to a certain extent, there are really a few things about Arasaka Saburo's taste.

The reason why Tokugawa Ieyasu was able to unify the island country has to be mentioned is his longevity, which almost survived several other opponents of his time.

Even if it was later jokingly called the shrunken turtle, it was not another way to win by preserving its strength to the end.

Saburo Arasaka, who is now over 150 years old, is reluctant to leave for a long time, and his wish may coincide with that of Tokugawa Ieyasu.

The former unifies the island nations, while the latter aspires to dominate the world and realize the once-unfulfilled dream of empire.

Saburo Arasaka stands in front of the portrait, his cloudy eyes motionless, as if he is engaged in some kind of spiritual silent communication with the figure in the portrait.

Long.

Arasaka Saburo spoke slowly, and his old and hoarse voice revealed the innate majesty and solemnity of his body.

"Have you ever heard a saying?"

"There is the power to resist Arasaka in Night City."

Rebel against Arasaka.

Tang Yu's eyes moved slightly, he was very familiar with this sentence, that night at the Lizzy Bar, Aveline Parker invited him to experience the Crystal Palace Mewtwo, and the mysterious person in it had said this.

Now suddenly from the mouth of Saburo Arasaka, the meaning of this is worth studying.

Tang Yu did not hesitate at all, and said decisively: "There is indeed such a saying in Night City. ”

In the face of this old man who has lived well, he has to be measured in everything he says, and in the case of not knowing the details, answering truthfully is the best answer.

He estimated that Arasaka Saburo had already been aware of Arasaka Lai Xuan's calculations, and the reason why he was temporarily allowed to let it go was entirely because Saburo had too many hole cards in his hand.

In addition to the digital souls stored in the gods, there is also Arasaka Kako, who is loyal to him, not to mention his terrifying influence on the Arasaka Company.

Even with a digital soul, Saburo Arasaka can still scare everyone to the point of having to obey his orders.

The influence of the god of Arasaka has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow of the Arasaka company.

Arasaka Saburo still turned his back to Tang Yu, and his steady tone did not hear any joy or sorrow, and then said slowly.

"Talking about that harbor city across the ocean."

"I wanted to salute the kings who sacrificed and were buried in a distant land, to comfort their souls in heaven."

"But there are so many innocent lives alive in that harbor city."

"Let the benevolent overcome all the sufferings of the world with mercy."

"Maybe I should use one or two nuclear bombs so that they don't have to feel unnecessary pain."

"What do you think?"

The city of nuclear flat nights?

When Tang Yu heard Arasaka Saburo say this sentence in a calm manner, he had no doubt that he really had such an idea, and even now he was considering this plan.

Although Arasaka was defeated in the Fourth Corporate War, it suffered a heavy blow.

However, under the strong rule of Saburo Arasaka, the company quickly regained its former strength over the decades, and even went further, still having unparalleled dominance in the world.

Around the world, there are many Arasaka towers standing proudly, and there is hardly any rival to match.

Night City does have the genes and possibilities to rebel against Arasaka and the company.

The city is the cradle of legends, the birthplace of a wave of counter-companies, and the possibilities are endless.

The forces here are intricate, not only with military technology on a par with Arasaka's, but also with a variety of internationally renowned companies.

There are also the most powerful cyber hackers, mercenaries, etc., and the man who made Saburo Arasaka suffer a great failure in his life - Johnny Silver Hand, is from Night City.

Even if the Arasaka Company is so strong, it can't be a dealer in Night City.

Apparently.

The nuclear leveling of Night City is harmless for Saburo Arasaka, but it can solve the hidden danger that threatens Arasaka's rule.

Tang Yu replied calmly: "Erasing Night City from the map is not a difficult task, and the fate of Night City is still in Arasaka's hands. ”

"But compared to Night City, which can be wiped out by nuclear bombs, the places that Arasaka can't control are more worthy of vigilance."

Arasaka Saburo seemed to be a little interested: "Let's talk about it." ”

Tang Yu said bluntly: "Cyberspace. ”

When Saburo Arasaka heard these four words, he couldn't help muttering.

"You're right, it reminds me of a friend I used to have."

"The real threat to Arasaka doesn't come from any one city or one company."

"The development of cyber technology has long abandoned the traditional sense of power."

"The Arasaka Tower can be built on any part of the world, but it can't go deeper into cyberspace."

"Although Arasaka has restarted some of its plans and tried to intensify its exploration of cyberspace, very little has been achieved."

"Nowadays, the forces outside the black walls of cyberspace have infiltrated the material world of human beings."

"If you can see that, it means that I didn't point the wrong person."

Tang Yu knew that the little friend that Arasaka Saburo was talking about was Ott Cunningham.

In fact, what can really pose a fatal threat to the Arasaka Company, or the entire human world, is the AI that grows savagely outside the black walls of cyberspace.

Among them, represented by the digital soul of Otter Cunningham, who has mastered endless knowledge and human personality, she can penetrate everywhere in digital networks, electronic prosthetics, and urban infrastructure.

With endless lifespans, uncapped learning capabilities, and high-intensity artificial intelligence algorithms, Ultra Cunningham has become a god-like existence.

This is also why Tang Yu preferred to cooperate with Arasaka Yorixuan to set off the Fifth World War in order to destroy the company's rule.

He is also unwilling to cooperate with Ultra Cunningham to destroy the black wall and allow it to infiltrate the human world unimpeded.

If the artificial intelligence AI represented by Ultra Cunningham is really allowed to enter, then the whole world will fall into a mechanical order.

More critically.

This war between humans and AI has been unfair from the start, almost unilaterally infiltrated.

Humans can't break through the black wall to control the cyberspace, but AI can wait for the opportunity to flow into the human world and implement their ideas and algorithms.

Now.

Saburo Arasaka has relic biochip technology in his hands, which is almost something that AI can only dream of.

Let's be honest.

Compared to Saburo Arasaka, who died and transformed into a digital soul, Tang Yu preferred that his true soul would be bound in this withered and withered body.

Saburo Arasaka continued to speak in a deep voice.

"The reason why I want to see you by name is because you are still the same person."

"In other words, your thoughts and your actions are driven by your will."

"People, do it from the heart."

"Because of this terrible world, everyone must undergo cyber prosthetic modification in order to have a life extension."

"You're fit to do something for me in Night City."

"Once it's done, there's no need to nuke the trouble of erasing Night City."

The reason why everyone must undergo cyber prosthetic transformation is not the large number of mutilated limbs caused by frequent wars.

More importantly, the environmental damage caused by the war, the pollution of the machinery industry, the prevalence of genetically modified food, etc., have affected the structure of human genetic sequences to a certain extent.

After the Arasaka Tower in Night City was leveled, the company square was rebuilt on the original site not long after, and nuclear radiation was not considered at all, and the liver was replaced with an artificial liver if it was broken, and the heart and lungs were replaced with a heart and lungs.

There are very few people like Tang Yu who can still maintain their original bodies, almost all of them are short-lived, and they passed away early.

Tang Yu estimated that Saburo Arasaka's task was related to AI and the like, and it was almost impossible for him to be controlled by AI as a native, so he said that he could take over the task and try it.

Arasaka Saburo said his idea, and asked Tang Yu to return to Night City to investigate the hidden forces behind Night City, what kind of secret means were used to infiltrate the human world, and what is the relationship between this matter and military technology and network surveillance.

In the end, Arasaka Saburo also deliberately explained that for Tang Yu's convenience, his office in the Arasaka Tower in Night City opened up permissions for Tang Yu to use and contact.

Tang Yu was commissioned, and after figuring out Saburo Arasaka's purpose, he didn't stay in the study for a long time, got up and left.

When you go out.

It was found that Arasaka Huazi was still standing on the side of the door, as if waiting for Tang Yu to come out.

She made a gesture of please again, leading Tang Yu to another place.

Tang Yu, led by Arasaka Huazi, came to a spacious courtyard, and built a helipad on the green lawn, on which a black high-end floating car printed with the Arasaka clan emblem was parked.

Arasaka Huazi said in a deep voice: "This is my father's exclusive car, and it is now handed over to Mr. Tang for use." ”

After speaking, her prosthetic eyes turned, and she transmitted the right to use the floating car to Tang Yu.

Tang Yu understood what San Lang meant, and asked him to return to Night City immediately to investigate the mission, and walked straight over without saying a word.

The floating door opens slowly, and the base extends to the road.

Tang Yu stepped into the car, closed the door, and started the engine into the air.

Arasaka Hanako saw the floating car go far away, and then returned to the study, where she saw her father still standing in front of the portrait and looking at it.

Arasaka Huazi lowered her eyebrows and asked: "Father, although this person is the original body and has acceptable ability, he is not loyal to Arasaka and is suspected of collaborating with the enemy." ”

Only then did Saburo Arasaka turn around, put up his cane again, and said quietly.

"No problem."

"Because what he cares about, he holds in my hand."
