"Yesterday, the director of foreign relations of the Military Science and Technology Corporation issued a public statement that Military Science and Technology has organized two aircraft carrier formations to go to the international waters of the Gulf of Kyoto to conduct joint military exercises."

"Kyoto has not made a statement on this matter, and the outside world is suspected that military technology is in response to Arasaka's deterrence and the dispatch of the Kujira aircraft carrier to the west coast, and the confrontation between the two sides has escalated."

"As a result of this incident, global stock markets have been volatile, gold prices have risen again, and countries have said they will closely monitor further developments."

Tang Yu stood in front of the electronic mirror screen, tidied up his black-striped tie, checked it slightly, and put on a neat shirt and suit.

Sasha was a little curious, coming back these days, Tang Yu was dressed in a straight suit for the first time, and he was dressed the same as before going to work, so he couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "Mr. Tang, is there something going on today?" ”

As she spoke, she also changed into a short uniform skirt that she rarely wears, with a white shirt and stockings.

Tang Yu glanced at Sasha and explained with a smile: "Let's go to the Arasaka Tower and do something." ”

Sasha opened his mouth in surprise, although he probably guessed that Tang Yu was going back to the company when he changed clothes, but when he heard Tang Yu's confirmation, he still chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Are you going to work in Arasaka Tower?" But."

She wanted to say that Tang Yu had already fallen out with the Arasaka Company, and now going to the Arasaka Tower is not equivalent to throwing herself into the net.

After Tang Yu came back, she felt that it was very dangerous for all kinds of behaviors that did not hide her identity at all, and now there were too many people and forces staring at him, but Tang Yu acted as if she didn't care.

Tang Yu touched Sasha's cat head and said patiently: "Don't worry, I'm just suspended, and I'm not expelled." ”

He still has enough value for Arasaka now, and this value is far higher than the damage he caused to Arasaka.

Today, he Tang Yu is going to return to the company in the most upright way, and Sasha, as the company's assistant, can naturally follow along.

Tang Yu knew that if she didn't bring Sasha, maybe her little head would be worried about something.

After the two cleaned up, Sasha turned around and ran to the living room to pick up the "Dragon Fist" on the table, and trotted over and handed it to Tang Yu.

Tang Yu took the glasses and put them on, logged in to the original account again, and lines of personal information appeared in front of him.

【Tang Yu】

[Date and time: 2077]

[Employee number: NC77]

[Employee level: M10]

[Department position: Director of Public Relations] (suspended)

[Message: You have been suspended from all duties, please wait for the next step to notify you if you are reinstated]

The message that Tang Yu re-logged into his account immediately responded to the top of Arasaka as Arasaka's top secret.

At this time.

USS Kujira, a luxury spa in a spa cabin.

Arasaka Lai Xuan leaned against the fake stone and enjoyed the soak in the warm spring water, as if he had thought of a better way out, so he had the leisure to relax his body here, and his face inadvertently showed a slight smile, looking in a good mood and extremely comfortable.

Just as he closed his eyes and enjoyed it, he suddenly heard someone coming in from outside the gate and gave a soft drink.

When the kimono maids who served Lai Xuan saw the comer, they pulled up their clothes, bowed down and quickly retreated with small steps.

Arasaka Lai Xuan picked up the glasses next to him, wiped the mist with a towel, and just put them on, he heard Huazi say in a deep voice.

"Tang Yu is ready to go back to the company, and he logs in to the company account again."

Lai Xuan smiled when he heard this, he was a little surprised by Tang Yu's approach, there had been information that Tang Yu had returned to Night City, but it was really an unknown that he could not return to the company.

Now he can be sure that it has worked.

Whether it was the threat of nuclear weapons or his own preparation to go back to 'inherit' the unification, Tang Yu had to make a new choice.

"Did he go to Arasaka Tower?" Lai Xuan stood up directly from the hot spring pool, not paying any attention to Huazi who was standing aside.

Arasaka Hanako was dressed in a one-piece off-the-shoulder white dress, with her hands folded in front of her abdomen, and when she saw Lai Xuan standing up, she squatted down on her knees and picked up a clean blanket from the wooden table placed on the ground.

She got up and slowly approached Lai Xuan, gently draped the blanket over his shoulders for him, and then said, "I haven't returned to Arasaka Tower yet, but it should be soon." According to my father's instructions, it is best to take him with me to Kyoto. ”

Arasaka Lai Xuan stepped straight out of the hot spring pool and said with a confident smile: "I can't ask for this, don't worry, Tang Yu will come to us, as for whether he can persuade him to go to Kyoto, it depends on the price of Arasaka." ”

A high fence has been erected around the company square to surround the entire construction site, and all kinds of large machinery are being constructed, and the site is in order.

In order to ensure that the construction process is noiseless and dust-free, a thick layer of filter screen and water mist spraying system are specially built over the site.

The outer ring passage under the building of the major companies was repaired on the first day of the major accident for the company's exclusive use.

At the gate of the base of the Arasaka Tower, a black luxury car from Arasaka drove over and slowly stopped.

As the door opened automatically, Sasha stepped out of the passenger seat, opened the rear door one step ahead, and stood quietly waiting.

Tang Yu stood in front of the company's gate after getting out of the car, buttoned his suit with one hand, and felt a little emotional when he saw this familiar scene.

At the gate, several Arasaka security guards in black suits responded immediately after seeing Tang Yu appear, and after a while, dozens of security teams ran out quickly and orderly, lined up at the door, looking nervous as if they were facing a great enemy.

They kept their eyes on the security services and asked for immediate reinforcements.

Sasha closed the door of the car, controlled the automatic intelligent parking of the vehicle, came to Tang Yu's side, and saw the security of Arasaka Company put on such a posture, and even saw that the battle mechs in the hall were in a state of active readiness, which showed that these people were afraid and afraid of Tang Yu.

She had just activated her combat readiness when she heard Tang Yu stop and say.

"Take it easy, we're back on errands."

"Oh, Sasha sees." Sasha stuck out her tongue, and the battle implant on her body disappeared.

Tang Yu didn't rush into the Arasaka Tower, but waited for a while, seeing that the number of security personnel was getting more and more, and even the elite team was alarmed.

He could perceive the entire company plaza and noticed the movement of the place.

After a while.

The Arasaka security team automatically got out of the way, and a familiar figure walked out of the middle of the team, and took the initiative to greet Tang Yu after seeing him.

"Tang, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect you to come to the company today, I won't have this kind of misunderstanding if I say it in advance, let's go, I'll see you off." Arthur Jenkins smiled a little, as if he didn't take the incident in the company square to heart at all, and still made a warm attitude to welcome Tang Yu back to the company.

Tang Yu saw that Jenkins had dismissed the security guard, invited him into the Arasaka Tower, and after scanning his information, he found that Jenkins had been promoted to director, and replied with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, but I want to congratulate you." ”

The three of them strode towards the Arasaka Tower, Jenkins did not shy away from it, and smiled calmly: "I am also a blessing to Toy, after the accident in the company square, the company is in a shortage of people, and this just happened to be a vacancy." ”

"For your business, Director Michiko has been listed as a core secret, and the position is retained, if you want to come back, there should still be a good chance, she is waiting for you above."

Jenkins knew very well that Tang Yu beside him still had super high value to Arasaka, and just that unique and mysterious ability could contribute infinite value to the Arasaka family, not to mention the unparalleled combat power that surpassed Adam's hammer.

If he is willing to be loyal to Arasaka, Tang Yu can enjoy the treatment of one person and more than ten thousand.

"It just so happens that I have something to see her, too." Tang Yu replied indifferently.

Jenkins took the elevator to take Tang Yu to the director's exclusive office floor, and then stopped.

Tang Yu took Sasha and followed the familiar path to Michiko's exclusive office.

Standing at the door to accept the identity authentication scan, to Tang Yu's surprise, the entry and exit authentication was still valid.

Walking into an office the size of half a football field, Tang Yu saw Michiko standing in front of the panoramic floor-to-ceiling glass window and smoking silently, as if she was seeing her for the first time, her back was lonely and lonely.

Tang Yu guessed that she might know the fate of being treated as an abandoned son by the Arasaka family, and even if she was in charge of this Arasaka Tower again, she would not be able to heal the old wound in her heart.

She has lived in seclusion with her father since she was a child, and she does not dare to admit her identity at all, and is the only outsider in the Arasaka family.

Her father died in a nuclear bomb, and now she may be following in her footsteps.

"You're here." Michiko said in a deep voice, her voice a little tired and hoarse.

Before Tang Yu could say anything, Xiao Michiko spoke up again: "If there is anything to say, let's see what else I can help." ”

"I need the entire structure of the Arasaka Tower to investigate the potential danger of a nuclear explosion here." Tang Yu directly explained his intentions.

In order to avoid misunderstanding by Michiko, Tang Yu added: "I have intelligence on my side that Saburo Arasaka may be interested in nuclear bombing Night City. The military technology side has already checked the entire city, and no traces of strong radioactivity have been found. ”

Michiko took a puff of her cigarette and muttered, "It's on the table, just look at it." ”

As soon as the words ended, the holographic projection on the desk showed a pale blue three-dimensional picture, a scaled-down Arasaka building structure, with a bright red bright spot in it, suddenly flashing on the roof.

Saburo Arasaka's office?

Tang Yu immediately understood that the nuclear bomb weapon that was enough to burn the entire Night City was hidden in Saburo Arasaka's office as an emergency means to deal with all uncontrollable crises.

"He's a good eater of fear, and the entire Night City isn't aware of them, living under the threat of a dying old man." Michiko's tone was a little helpless, and she didn't seem surprised by this behavior.

Tang Yu understands Arasaka Saburo's methods, this nuclear weapon that is enough to destroy the city, I am afraid that it uses a more traditional triggering explosion.

"Is it a mechanical combination lock?"

Tradition means that it is not possible to easily control it remotely, but it is possible to control everything with a password, and it also excludes the possibility of AI infiltrating this nuclear weapon.

Komichiko replied in the affirmative: "No one knows when everything in front of them will disappear, except for him"

"I'll talk to him, don't worry, it'll be fine." Tang Yu had already made a decision in his heart, if he couldn't negotiate, even if he tried his best again, he would send the entire Arasaka Pagoda to Kyoto, so that the old guy could feel the fear of nuclear weapons again.

Xiao Michiko's shoulders trembled slightly, as if she had been touched, and said before Tang Yu left: "All of Sasha's information and permission system chips are placed on the desktop, and Arasaka has emptied her file data here, take it, she will be a free and free person in the future." ”

When Sasha heard this, he was stunned.

"A free man."

Now she has memories of the past and freedom for the future.

"Thank you." Sasha earnestly thanked Michiko Komiko.

Michiko waved her hand slightly, signaling that they could leave.

Tang Yu didn't linger any longer, picked up the chip and handed it to Sasha, turned around and left.

Next stop, the Kujira aircraft carrier.

Not tonight!
