"Mr. Tang, are you feeling okay? Sasha's side is ready to go. ”

"It's comfortable, maybe a little full, overflowing a little, wait a minute."

"Sasha understands."

Arasaka Tower's underground shrine space.

Sasha stood in front of the console, looking through the transparent glass screen, a long black metal box was quietly horizontally placed, extending a bundle of electronic hoses embedded in the core of the Mikoshi data.

Now Sasha is talking to Tang Yu who is lying in a metal box, and according to the plan, she will personally activate the soul killer program to help Tang Yu upload the soul mark into the Shenyu space.

Sasha didn't know much about the nature of the Mikoshi space, only that this was a space for storing digital souls, and in that small red data core, a large number of digital souls had been imprisoned, and the flickering red light was like a soul's wail, which was breathtaking, and people couldn't help but feel creepy.

She is most worried about two issues right now.

The first is whether Tang Yu can wake up after using the soul killer program, which Tang Yu has repeatedly assured her that the latest version of the soul killer can reproduce the soul mark while preserving the original body and consciousness, so Tang Yu will inevitably wake up, but it may take a while to let the consciousness slowly wake up.

The second is the soul mark reproduced by Tang Yu, after entering the Shenyu space, is it still a part of Tang Yu, or a new electronic life, it is only born from Tang Yu.

For the second point, Tang Yu told Sasha to think a lot, and after his soul imprint entered the Shenyu space, he would stay in the Shenyu space forever, which was the mission and significance of Tang Yu's digital soul birth.

Sasha felt very uncomfortable at the thought of having 'Tang Yu' stay in this prison-like space, and thought of the consciousness of Sasha, another original person in his body, and chose to give up his memories and body in order to fulfill her integrity.

Sasha could only silently press down the uneasiness and worry that had risen in her heart, take a few deep breaths, and calm her mind, because she had more important things to do next, which would be related to the success or failure of Tang Yu's plan.

Tang Yu was soaked in the cold nutrient solution, and in front of him was a black metal panel, and the lines of the electronic board emitted a faint blue light.

[Michiko Arasaka: The Arasaka Tower has not been connected to the matrix space network service provided by the Night Clan, and it is estimated that they will definitely find a way to enter the Mikoshi space, but they don't know whether it is a strong attack or a surprise attack. 】

Tang Yu: "Aim for at least fifteen minutes, the longer the better, and leave enough time for others to act." ”

[Michiko Arasaka: Don't say fifteen minutes, even fifty minutes I'm sure, who made your performance very satisfying, all the elite squads of Arasaka Tower are on standby, and they are uniformly equipped with military-grade ICE, which is not so easy to be attacked and controlled. 】

Tang Yu: "You can't be careless about the enemy, Sasha's ICE protection has been hacked, and they may have mastered some of the RELIC biochip neural coverage technology, and the invasion control methods for individuals will probably be strengthened a lot." ”

[Michiko Arasaka: Got it, I'll wait for you in the office. In addition, there is a secret report from Kyoto that Arasaka Saburo is critically ill, almost unable to stand up, and his brain is on the verge of degenerative death. 】

Tang Yu: "I have lived for more than a century, don't get involved in the family affairs in Kyoto." ”

[Michiko Arasaka: Then do I have to go back to see Saburo for the last time?] 】

Tang Yu: "You'll see you soon." ”

After dealing with the affairs of Michiko's side, Aunt Mei's communication came in seamlessly.

[Meredith Stott: The Ye's company has begun to act, I arranged for someone to keep an eye on the Wood Manor, and the representatives of the major companies have arrived at the matrix launching ceremony. 】

Tang Yu: "Military technology can't be too guarded, they are easy to detect cats." ”

[Meredith Stott: Don't worry, in order to cooperate with your operation, military technology is ready to pay the entire building, it's nothing, our president heard that you have a set of tomahawk guitars, and he still has a few treasures there, and I want to invite you and Kerry to play with her when I have time. 】

Tang Yu: "Well, let's wait until this errand is done." ”

[Meredith Stott: Another strange thing is that President Rosalind suddenly issued a secret order for the two aircraft carrier fleets of military science and technology to continue to maintain near Kyoto Bay and conduct live-fire exercises as planned. 】

Tang Yu: "Don't worry, she will obediently retract her hand soon." ”

[Meredith Stout: Since the price has been predicted so much, there must be top-secret information, I wonder if I am lucky enough to share a little? It will definitely not be disadvantaged to you, any place, any time, any position, any degree of tightness, any implant or whatever, you choose]

Tang Yu: "Don't worry, the answer will be announced soon." ”

[Meredith Stout: "You know, I'm not the answer"]

Military technology wants to take advantage of the weakest time of the Arasaka family to seek benefits, if Arasaka Saburo is really dead, Arasaka Yorino and Hanako tear up in Kyoto, Arasaka Company falls into infighting, and military technology takes advantage of the fire to rob, then the global situation may change.

It's a pity that President Rosalind's abacus crackled, and in the end it inevitably failed.

Hanging up Aunt Mei's communication, Tang Yu still needs to confirm the situation on Lucy's side, since Mosley was executed in Cyberspace, the stalls on the night city side of the network surveillance have fallen on Lucy.

Now that she is about to face a large number of roaming AIs that may invade the human world, she has a lot of burden on her.

The communication call waited for a while to connect.

[Lucy: What?] Call at this time. 】

Tang Yu: "Isn't it convenient?" ”

[Lucy: It's okay, I just finished talking to Qi Wei on the phone. 】

Tang Yu: "This deep-diving mission is more complicated, so it's good for Qi Wei to guard you." ”

[Lucy: I didn't let her come.] 】

Tang Yu: "Then you are home alone?" Wouldn't it be too dangerous. ”

[Lucy: Huh? Even you have become so careful, when you were alone and chic, it wasn't this attitude. 】

Tang Yu: "This time the situation is different. ”

[Lucy: Tease you, don't worry, the Cyber Monitoring Headquarters has sent a new hacker agent to dive into the cyberspace with me and mark the AI that is scurrying in from beyond the black walls. 】

Tang Yu: "That's good, after all, when a large number of streaming AIs pour in, you can't cope with it alone, in order to complete the set goal as soon as possible, they will not fight with you in the cyberspace, remember, it must be a mark, don't attract their attention, Ultra Cunningham will watch all this from behind." ”

[Lucy: Are you saying that the Black Wall is really unusable?] In the aftermath of this war, the line between humans and streaming AI may need to be redrawn. 】

Tang Yu: "I have communicated with the subnet Poseidon in V's brain, and it is willing to replace the black wall and become a new boundary that redraws humanity from the old net. ”

[Lucy: I'm curious, how did you convince an AI.] 】

Tang Yu: "Just like Draman likes to learn in the human world, after Poseidon awakens his AI consciousness, he is also eager to learn and understand the outside world, but the knowledge reserve in V's mind is limited, and he can't meet the endogenous drive of an intelligent AI to explore and learn. ”

[Lucy: Huh? You have a knack for negotiating, but if you let the god of the sea learn in two worlds, it will one day become even more difficult to deal with than Ultra Cunningham. 】

Tang Yu: "So I found him a new home." ”

[Lucy: Adam's Hammer's Brain?] You're so good at playing, haha, use the relic biochip to cover the Poseidon from V's head and into Adam's Hammer's head, and you get a perfect Poseidon carrying container and send it to the matrix space core, so that the lair of the flowing AI becomes the Poseidon mechanical body, right? 】

Tang Yu: "You're getting smarter and smarter!"

[Lucy: Hey, who made you compliment, but the most difficult thing to solve in the whole plan is not here, but what to do with the powerful Ott Cunningham, if you can't solve her, the sea god who has not yet grown up can't resist her attack at all. 】

Tang Yu: "Aren't I lying in the Arasaka Tower Shrine Space, and I'm ready to fight with Ultra." ”

[Lucy: What?!Do you want to play alone this time?] If Ultra shows up, I'll try to mark it, and we can figure out another way later, don't you be a hero, okay? 】

Tang Yu: "Don't mess around, I've already gotten the latest version of the Soul Killer program from Saburo Arasaka, which can copy and upload the soul mark while preserving the original body and consciousness." ”

[Lucy: So you decided to defeat magic with magic?] But even if you want to defeat Otter Cunningham in cyberspace, I'm afraid it will be difficult, and its strength may be far beyond our imagination. 】

Tang Yu: "Look at the will of God, I don't plan to defeat her." ”

[Lucy: You want to lock the Ultra body yourself and lure it into the Divine Space, so that the souls of the two of you can fight each other in the same confined space, and never reappear in the human world again, right? 】

Tang Yu: "It's roughly the same, there is something in the Shenyu space that Ultra wants, and it will definitely come, and I didn't expect that I was already waiting for it in advance." ”

[Lucy: Don told me we'll see each other alive, okay?] 】

Tang Yu: "We will definitely meet again, we will run at night together in the bay window, on the roof, on the seaside, in the clouds, on the moon, and watch the rocket launch together." ”

[Lucy: Well, I'll wait for you]

Hang up the communication.

Tang Yu breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and even prayed a little unhappily in his heart, hoping that there would be no accidents in this action plan.

In the past, he was always confident and confident in his ability to master complex situations and implement his action plan perfectly.

Even when the company square coped with the sudden big scene, there was no panic and anxiety.

But this time, Tang Yu was inexplicably a little apprehensive in his heart.

He then called up V's contact interface, dialed it, and the phone was answered a moment later.

[V: I was just about to call you, the program you prepared, I have downloaded, read and installed, and I have talked to the sea god in my brain, but are you sure you can find a new brain that can carry it? 】

Tang Yu: "The one I'm looking for may not be as good as your brain, but it's enough." ”

[V: Why does this sound weird, but be careful yourself, I may not be able to save you in time if there is a situation, don't do anything like last time and say goodbye, let me know that I have to bite you. 】

Tang Yu: "There will be no problem if you do what you plan, this time it really depends on you." ”

[V: Look at what you said, when did I have an errand, even if I am missing arms and legs, I will not return the errand to you. 】

Tang Yu: "Good job. ”

[V: Now that this vote is over, do you have any plans?] The company resigned and became a poor bastard, maybe you have to go to the Lizzy bar to find the boss lady to pick up the job, although you recommended me to go, but now you are not the company's top management, people may not buy your account, don't run to the door in the bottom of your heart, let the boss lady dislike. 】

Tang Yu: "That's troublesome Miss V to introduce you a lot." ”

[V: What are you being polite to me, don't think that everyone in Night City talks about feelings like I do, ten out of ten guys you met when you were in a high position are running for your position. 】

Tang Yu: "It seems that you still have some feelings for me, and I am deeply honored." ”

[V: Don't come to this set, but there is one thing to say, you look quite handsome in a suit, and you can still wear a suit after quitting the company, and then with a gold-rimmed glasses, tsk. 】

Tang Yu: "Then I'll take you as a compliment, how did Rogge arrange it in the next life, and did he plan to hand it over to you in the next life?" ”

[V: Rogge is very chic every day, I didn't think about this stubble, but fortunately, Claire helped me, and I talked to the proprietress of Lizzie, she also contributed a lot, and now she is basically good at running a bar. But I want to go boxing more quickly, when will I make an appointment with Lao Wei and Jack, go to fight two professional fights, and I have thought about the debut name, how about calling it Iron Hand V? 】

Tang Yu: "It's good if you like it." ”

[V: By the way, I've always had a question I want to ask you, why do you always think you know me very well?] The first time we met, your eyes were almost drawn, but it gave me goosebumps. Don't tell me, you were beaten and cried by me when you were a child, so remember it now. I beat up too many little hooligans when I was a child, if I accidentally hurt you, apologize, please bear with me. 】

Tang Yu: "We didn't know each other when we were kids. ”

[V: That's good]

Tang Yu: "We are the fate of the previous life. ”

【V：】

Tang Yu couldn't help but smile and directly teased V.

Now there's Rebecca, and when she acts, she will cooperate with V to complete the mission, escort V safely into the matrix space, and send Adam's hammer's brain into the matrix core.

[Rebecca: Company, my brother is almost done, right away! 】

Tang Yu: "Have you upgraded the ICE firmware and programs?" ”

[Rebecca: Go to the old prosthetic doctor you introduced and get it done!] This time, you won't faint before you even enter the house, you can rest assured. 】

Tang Yu: "Everyone else has a mission, if you contact Sasha directly in case of an emergency, she will rush over as soon as possible, I really can't pull out here." ”

[Rebecca: Don't bother Sasha, I've already contacted Dorio, she will come over to help me later, you can rest assured that you can go about your business, and when the next job is done, I will go to your house to play with you. 】

Tang Yu: "It's okay, I'll go to your house to look for you." ”

[Rebecca: yes, that's good! But you still have to go out on your back. 】

Tang Yu: "A word is a certainty. ”

Now all fronts have been arranged, but the one who is facing the most pressure may be David Martinez.

As the commander of this time guarding the Arasaka Tower and preventing the physical invasion of the wandering AI, he must hold on for more than fifteen minutes.

Tang Yu dialed David's communication.

[David Martinez: Mr. Tang.] 】

Tang Yu: "How are you preparing?" ”

[David Martinez: The installation progress is 82%, and the prosthetic King Kong has been upgraded in all directions, so it is a little longer than the last time, but it is in time. 】

Tang Yu: "Remember not to overuse it, hold on for fifteen minutes and then retreat and give way to the passage." ”

David Martinez: Understood! 】

So far.

All the action links are ready, just wait for the Night Company to activate the matrix space, at that time, Ultra will shield the black wall, and the flowing AI will take the opportunity to drill into the matrix space to invade the major companies, and even the basic network and various facilities of Night City.

They have been waiting for this moment for a long time, and Tang Yu has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

In the solution, Tang Yu slowly closed his eyes, preparing to enter the state of preparation for activating the Soul Slayer.

Suddenly, a message arrived.

[Gloria: We'll wait for you.] 】

"Wait until I get back."
