Kambi Tower, Penthouse Suite.

The house was in shambles, with wine bottles, plastic boxes, and worn clothes being discarded haphazardly on the ground.

Arasaka Yoritomu held half a bottle of wine and sat on the head of the bed on all fours, indulging in the world of alcohol.

His chin was full of beard, his eyes seemed to be unwilling and helpless, and after taking a sip of wine into his mouth, he slammed the bottle to the ground, and the glass shards splashed everywhere, and the wine flowed all over the ground in an instant.

After the incident in the company square, Lai Xuan returned to the hotel suite and never took a step out of the door.

All plans failed, and all the elaborate preparations ended up in vain.

After playing the cards in his hand, I realized that it was thousands of times more difficult to deal with Arasaka Company than I imagined.

Hyashiro Kenji killed a group of company executives and died in battle, but it did not have the expected earthquake-like impact on the major companies, and soon after the accident, another group of people sprung up.

Adam's hammer was almost scrapped in the war and was on the verge of death, in order to try to give him a life, Lai Xuan handed over the only remaining relic biochip in his hand, in exchange for the opportunity to resurrect Adam's hammer at the cost of giving power to Michiko Arasaka.

Lai Xuan had promised Adam the hammer that even if he was just a murderous war machine under the name of Arasaka Company, Lai Xuan never thought of breaking his word.

He had already anticipated the future he was about to face, but he still wanted to see Tang Yu and wanted to know why Tang Yu would rather die and be fired from the company than destroy the plan that blocked him.

It's just that Tang Yu has disappeared without a trace, and Lai Xuan can't find this opportunity if he wants to.

He asked Kerry, but there was still no information from Tang Yu.

Just as Lai Xuan was getting drunk alone in the suite, the front desk informed him that a member of the Arasaka family was visiting.

He looked out of the floor-to-ceiling glass window and saw a team of floating cars slowly flying and landing on the rooftop.

Soon after, a shadow slowly descended from the staircase leading to the rooftop.

"Huazi, are you the only one who came alone?" Lai Xuan got up and walked to the living room, and looked behind his sister, except for Xiao Tian, the personal bodyguard, there was no one else.

Arasaka Huazi came straight to Lai Xuan, and when she saw her brother Lai Xuan's haggard appearance, she stretched out her hand and stroked his cheek with some distress.

"Brother."

Lai Xuan's frowning brows slackened a little, and he barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Huazi, when I have nothing, only you will appear by my side." ”

After a brief security check, Xiao Tian, the personal bodyguard, turned to the side and walked towards the elevator door, facing the wall on duty.

Lai Xuan gently held Arasaka Huazi's hand, got some comfort, and then asked, "Why are you here, did that old immortal guy let you come?" ”

Arasaka Kako nodded calmly: "What you did in Night City, my father already knows, maybe you shouldn't be so hasty." ”

When she helped Lai Xuan escape from Kyoto, she seriously persuaded her, but Lai Xuan had already made up her mind at that time and had to break with Arasaka Saburo.

Arasaka Yoshinobu showed pain and unwillingness on his face: "I didn't lose to him, I lost to another person"

He never thought that it was Saburo Arasaka who won the fight, because that man had never been loyal to Arasaka from the beginning.

Arasaka Huazi helped Lai Xuan sit next to the sofa, and said: "You mean Tang Yu, after the battle in the company square, Arasaka lost his news, and his father also wanted to know his whereabouts, but it may be too late." ”

Lai Xuan felt a little strange, and hurriedly asked, "What's too late, do you mean he's going to do it?" ”

Arasaka Kako nodded, explaining the purpose of this trip: "My father is seriously ill now, and I may have limited time left, so I am specially authorized to deal with this matter and remove all potential dangers. ”

"Compared to what you did, my father is more worried about another level of things, Kyoto Arasaka Tower has begun to use the company's own independent network, and even the people living in Kyoto have begun to configure the prosthetic network interface to be unique to Arasaka."

Arasaka Yoritoku's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief: "He is more afraid of that invisible war than he is about causing a global war, has he already chosen?"

Arasaka Hanako was silent and did not deny Lai Xuan's speculation.

Lai Xuan sneered again and again: "He really didn't give up the ridiculous dream in his heart, even if he became a ghost, he still wanted to rebuild the glorious world of the old dream that shouldn't exist." ”

Arasaka Huazi bluntly persuaded: "Lai Xuan, listen to me this time, go back to Kyoto, everything here will become history, only by going back, you will have the opportunity to achieve everything you want." ”

Lai Xuan had already guessed that Arasaka Kako was here to be a lobbyist, and Arasaka Saburo saw the potential threat of Night City and was already worried.

It's a pity that he didn't get any response when he contacted Ott's side, indicating that the other party was not sincere in cooperating.

Perhaps, Ott didn't believe he could bring down Saburo Arasaka from the beginning.

At this moment, Arasaka Lai Xuan suddenly felt that he was quite a waste, obviously wanting to destroy Arasaka, but he still had to use Arasaka's power, and in the end it was just an empty game.

Even though the company plaza accident caused such a big fuss about the incident, military technology and other companies still ignored it.

They are afraid of Arasaka's power, indulge in vested interests, and are pinched by Arasaka Saburo.

As a result, no company is willing to really harden Arasaka, unless Arasaka takes the initiative himself.

Arasaka Yoshinobu smiled bitterly: "Get everything you want? This is not easy, he also wants to force Tang Yu to come out. ”

This is also the reason why Saburo Arasaka can drive Tang Yu to do things, and threatening with what he cares about is more effective than power and status.

Lai Xuan remembers the encounter at Kerry's house, a person who can play the martial arts band better than the original, and is by no means the kind of person who flatters and is willing to be a company dog for the sake of fame and profit.

He understood that Tang Yu cared about the city and the people in the city, so he would do everything he could to calm this conflict.

Now Lai Xuan deeply understands that he can't make a bomb to destroy Arasaka, but he may be able to become a fuse to detonate Tang Yu's bomb.

If Tang Yu really died, Night City would be buried with him.

If Tang Yu is still alive, then he has to let Arasaka accompany him to the burial.

Arasaka Yoshinobu took the initiative to stand up and said in a deep voice: "Huazi, let's go back to Kyoto, as you said, only in this way can I achieve everything I want." ”

A hint of strangeness flashed in Arasaka Huazi's eyes, but she quickly covered it up, stood up as well, took clothes for Arasaka Yorixuan, and waited for her to change.

Arasaka Tower, Special Operations Department.

David Martinez received a notice from his superiors to arrange for him to escort important members of the Arasaka family to the coastal port, and the USS Kujira aircraft carrier battle group docked on the shore and waited.

He immediately got up and left the office, gathered the special service team and prepared to go, then walked to the armament department and began to change clothes.

Things came a little suddenly, although I had been told some general information in advance, but I didn't expect that the members of the Arasaka family did not show up in the Arasaka Tower after arriving in Night City on an aircraft carrier.

According to the company's intelligence, the other party went directly to the Kambi Building, and David guessed that it should be a meeting with Arasaka Yorixuan.

The superior specially explained that David led the team to prepare for a long time in the field, and after sending the target person to the aircraft carrier, he still needed to hold on until the aircraft carrier left the port and returned to Kyoto.

David didn't know why they arranged it this way, they could leave as soon as they boarded the aircraft carrier, but they had to stay for a while.

Soon.

He packed up and took all the remaining field combat strength of the Special Operations Department to carry out the escort mission.

After the incident in the company square, all departments were in urgent need of field manpower.

Although a batch of new recruits was recruited in a timely manner, the novices were far from meeting the needs of the field.

Before leaving, he sent a letter to Gloria, saying that he would be out on the field for a while.

After getting it, he led the team and set off directly.

The news of the arrival of the USS Kujira aircraft carrier battle group on the west coast spread throughout Night City, and everyone speculated about what Arasaka's intentions were.

The major news media are also reporting on this incident one after another, and dispatching an aircraft carrier battle group without war must be a sword to point out.

Tang Yu watched some news while eating breakfast, while Sasha was busy on the side, preparing snacks to eat, and after a long time, Sasha's craftsmanship was getting better and better.

After returning to the apartment, he has successively discovered many secret outfits and spies from major companies.

Tang Yu didn't plan to hide the matter of returning to Night City, but now the entire city is on the verge of war, and the major companies have just experienced a major accident, and the sequelae have not been digested, so they dare not act rashly.

Even an aircraft carrier with a nuclear strike has sailed over, and in addition to deterring the wandering AI, this is also a necessary means for Arasaka to force him to appear.

Tang Yu understood that the aircraft carrier was docked on the west coast, and did not go to the port of Arasaka Binhai Industrial Park, posing as if it would be a nuclear explosion at any time, which was a signal that Saburo Arasaka wanted to see him.

Either Saburo Arasaka himself is on the aircraft carrier, or Kako Arasaka is waiting with a loaded Saburo RELIC biochip.

Before going to see Arakazaka Saburo, Tang Yu had to meet Aunt Mei first to see the attitude of military science and technology.

If military technology is also willing to drive its aircraft carrier to Kyoto to hang around, then he will have more room to negotiate with Saburo Arasaka.

Even if there was no hand arranged by Saburo Arasaka, Tang Yu would not be able to let the group of AIs outside the black wall of Ott go.

The information that Lucy brought back from the cyberspace is very important, and Ultra is still growing infinitely, and has released a 'friendly' signal of cooperation, letting Lucy go once.

Tang Yu thought that the RELIC biochip function activation technology must be firmly grasped in his own hands.

Even if Ultra and other AIs want to reappear in the world, they have to look at his eyes first, and limited cooperation is a win-win situation.

He specially told Rogge that before dealing with the matter of Arasaka, Johnny's soul mark had been activated and he must not let anyone know.

Now Rogge has taken Johnny to drive the car to complete their unfinished regretful journey, and has just sent him photos and checked in to the open-air screen theater.

As soon as he thought of this, Tang Yu received a message from V.

[V: Such a big bar, Rogge just threw it to me like this, and ran away by himself??? Anyway, you're idle all day now, so you can't come over and help. 】

Tang Yu: "Pg me, reluctantly think about it." ”

[V: "Hehe, call you a good brother, do you dare to agree?" ”】

[V: I might as well ask Gloria, the boss of Lizzy, to get some experience, bye-bye.] 】

PS: Not tonight!
