Chapter 53: Preparing for War

V was silent, he didn't expect to get such an answer from Tang Yu.

She always thought that Tang Yu worked in Arasaka Company and might not have any real friends around her.

"I know, I'll take this one."

She didn't continue to ask more reasons, since Tang Yu attached importance to this commission, as long as this order was successfully completed, it would be the best help for him.

Tang Yu already had a preliminary idea of V and Jack's operation, so he explained to V.

"There are other behind-the-scenes drivers behind this mission, you remember to follow the black fat man's commission."

"Recently, Arasaka Company will hold a product launch conference, and then it will be the time for you to act, which I believe the black fat man will agree."

"You get Xiao Pingtou, get a specific plan of action, and when it's time to go to the Kambi Building, go upstairs alone to carry out the mission plan, and I'll arrange a way out for Ling, so that Jack keeps an eye on Deshawn at all times, don't let him sneak away."

V heard that Tang Yu's arrangement was not bad, and he should have a very good grasp of this matter, so he asked: "I'll go get the goods, Jack stares at the black fat man, what about you?" ”

Tang Yu: "I personally organized the product launch, so I will go to the site to be responsible. ”

Only then did V put his mind at ease and promised: "Then you can rest assured, I will not mistake you." ”

After hanging up the phone, Tang Yu estimated that Mr. Blue Eyes would not be honest on his side, and there was a high probability that Deshawn's commission came from him.

Now the three RELIC biochips in Lai Xuan's hands have become the key to solving the problem.

Tang Yu had to get the one that contained Johnny's silver hand, and at the same time, he couldn't let the other two fall into the hands of Mr. Blue-Eyed.

Now one is in the Kobi Building, one is in the R&D Department of the Arasaka Tower waiting for the press conference, and one is missing.

He thought about it, but he didn't guess where Lai Xuan would hide the last one, which was a hidden danger.

Tang Yu knows better than anyone that once Mr. Blue Eyes gets the RELIC biochip, analyzing and cracking the key technologies is equivalent to sending them to the end.

Biochips carry personalities, and the success of this matter must be built on strict technical barriers.

At present, the technology of extracting soul imprints has matured, and RELIC version 1.0 can store personality data, and RELIC version 2.0 can even implant personality into the human brain.

The RELIC 2.5 version is breaking through the consciousness coverage technology and moving towards the 3.0 version to achieve the real resurrection of the soul.

If the AI masters its key technologies, it can hack into these relic biochips and replace all the personalities they want to impersonate.

At that time, no one can tell whether the biochip is loaded with the personality of their relatives and friends, or whether it is a flowing AI with other plans.

Tang Yu neither wants to see Night City go to destruction again, nor does he want to live in a human world controlled by AI.

There is Saburo Arasaka, who is obsessed with eternal life, and Pandora's box of digital souls will be opened at all costs.

There is Arasaka Yorinobu, who is full of enthusiasm to overthrow the old system, and wants to destroy the world ruled by the company at all costs.

There are also chaotic forces that want to reap the desired benefits in this game.

He was left to himself to eke out the stormy situation and prevent the impending collapse from crushing everything he cared about.

The matter has come to this point, Tang Yu can only pack up his mind and take one step at a time.

Fortunately, he still has enough hole cards in his hand to sit firmly in the dealer of this game.

He got up again, about to go upstairs to have a look, when suddenly he received another call.

He seriously doubted that he was in a hurry today, and glanced at the caller, Lucy.

The phone is then connected.

"There's a new development." Lucy didn't talk much nonsense, and got straight to the point: "The network monitoring side has already negotiated with Arasaka Laixuan, and the payment condition is to use the incomplete subnet Poseidon data as a payment condition, in exchange for the support of network supervision, to assist Arasaka Laixuan to complete the deep dive, and communicate with OtCunningham outside the black wall." ”

Only then did Tang Yu realize that Arasaka Lai Xuan's methods this time were not simple, and he actually came to a combination punch.

First of all, he held a press conference to drag his pace, forcibly pushed the listing plan, and was ready to make preparations even if the listing failed.

Communicate secretly with Ultra Cunningham beyond the black walls to find a way to destroy the Soul Killer's technology.

Lai Xuan did this, he really planned to completely tear his face with Arasaka Saburo and start a momentum in Night City.

I am afraid that what will follow is the Great Purge that will cause a stir in the entire Arasaka Tower, and all those who disobey him will be eradicated until he has the highest authority.

If Saburo Arasaka does not die of old age and succeeds in developing Relic Biochip 3.0, then Lai Xuan will split Arasaka and fight against Saburo Arasaka who is far away in Kyoto across the sea.

Tang Yu asked rhetorically: "Are you in charge of this deep diving operation?" ”

Lucy denied, "Moseley returned to Night City from headquarters, probably with him in charge. ”

Things have developed so far that he can only tell Lucy more of the inside story so that her actions do not fall into passivity.

"Remember, don't rush into that deep diving operation, there is a rogue AI lurking in Night City secretly fueling the trouble, Ultra Cunningham is no longer human, she has been silent outside the black wall for decades, and has evolved far beyond the average personality AI."

"If you can't avoid it, remember to find a place to avoid the limelight, and after a while, everything will be fine."

Lucy's expression tightened, realizing the seriousness behind this matter, maybe Arasaka Yorixuan wanted to get some methods and a way out from Ott, but what Ott wanted was to enter the human world until he was in control of everything.

One of the key tasks of cyber surveillance is to beware of a personality AI like Otter Cunningham, and even set up a tracking firewall for her.

"I understand, so do you, be careful." Lucy said in a deep voice, her tone a little heavy.

Hang up.

Tang Yu already had a worse premonition, but he still wanted to confirm it.

He got up and left the office, preparing to head to the public elevator hall.

Passing by a few Arasaka employees, I heard them talking about the elevator.

"It's strange, in the past few years of the reconstruction of the Arasaka Tower, there has never been an elevator failure, and the public elevator room at the good end can't be used."

"Yes, I can only go to the small elevator, and I have to wait a long time to make a trip, so it's troublesome to go to the cafeteria to eat."

Tang Yu stopped, then turned back to the office and headed for the secret elevator that led to the top floor.

Through the secret passage, open the Arasaka Saburo access control certification, and let the elevator lead to the highest floor of the Arasaka Tower as before, but the elevator has been running for a long time, and there is no movement coming down, as if it is stuck by something.

He is probably stuck on the layer of Arasaka Yoshino.

The other party had realized that he could enter Arasaka Saburo's exclusive office and use some of the highest authority, so he thought of this trick to encircle and physically prevent him from entering the top floor of Arasaka Tower.

Tang Yu thought about it, and there were only two ways left.

One is to go up the ladder, but there is a high probability that it will also be blocked.

One is to take the Arasaka Saburo special floating car and enter from the rooftop garage.

But he didn't want to move the floating car for the time being, so as not to attract Lai Xuan's attention, and this car was to be used as a retreat for V.

Tang Yu thought about it and decided to take the stairs to at least play the trick.

Got out of the office again, walked to the stairwell and climbed up.

Tang Yu's office floor was still dozens of floors away from the top of the building, but he was not in a hurry, and walked up the steps step by step.

When I finally came to the stairwell leading to the top floor, I was blocked by a steel gatekeeper, indicating that construction was underway.

Tang Yu guessed that Lai Xuan might be organizing a group of people to secretly tamper with the supreme authority of this Arasaka Tower.

After confirming Lai Xuan's determination, Tang Yu was down-to-earth, because the next thing to do was to prepare for the battle.

Not tonight.

It's time to enter the big plot.

Try to finish it quickly.

In the new month, ask for a monthly pass, recommend a ticket.
