Chapter 13: Old Friends Reunited

Entering the interior of the Kambi Building, the main color inside is red, very Arasaka style, there are a lot of green plants planted on the side of the road, and a little further on, there is a bar inside the building, if there is nothing else, Alan plans to have a few drinks here.

"Ailan-kun, I've been waiting for a long time, let's go up together." Ryoko followed.

"It's okay, let's go together."

Enter the elevator and arrive at the banquet hall on the 50th floor.

"Ryoko, how much do you know about tonight's banquet? I heard that it was to welcome a member of the Arasaka family. ”

"You're talking about Arasaka Tsuki, yes, she's the protagonist of today's dinner, the youngest member of the Arasaka family."

Alan leaned on the elevator and complained; "I really don't know how people from the company would be interested in visiting our scientific research department. My good vacation was so messed up, I only took half a day off. ”

Ryoko smiled slightly, and said softly: "It's a pity, but if you don't mind, I can accompany you to relieve your boredom at today's dinner, there are many places where people can relax in the Kambi Mansion." ”

Faced with Ryoko's invitation, Alan suddenly felt a little overwhelmed; "I'm really sorry to cause you trouble."

Bite! The elevator doors slowly opened.

The two of them came to the banquet hall, and there were already quite a few people here; Alan looked around

"Good guy, worthy of being the big man of the Arasaka family, the security personnel of the banquet hall have all been replaced by Arasaka's agents, the camera in the corner of the wall is monitoring the entire hall, and the hidden automatic machine gun on the ceiling is on standby at any time, if anyone dares to do something, it is estimated that they will be shot into a puddle of minced meat."

Ryoko: "Alan, you see that the one sitting over there is today's protagonist, Arasaka Tsuki. ”

Alan followed Ryoko's gaze and saw a woman sitting on the sofa not far away, surrounded by a group of security guards. The long light blue hair is smoothly draped behind the back, the white cheeks, and the temperament of a frost goddess tell others not to approach the living.

Alan frowned; "This woman is so familiar, I feel like I've seen it before, why does she look so much like Locill?"

Puzzled, Alan used a prosthetic eye scanner to scan her biological information from afar.

Name: Arasaka Tsuki

Age: 23 years old

Occupation: Employee of Arasaka Company

.................

"Did I really recognize the wrong person? Isn't it Locille? ”

Arasaka seemed to feel Alan's gaze, turned her head to look this way, and after seeing Alan's figure, she showed a mysterious smile.

"Okay, don't stare at people, they have all found out, be careful to throw you out as a suspicious person." Ryoko smiled and patted Alan on the shoulder, reminding.

Alan said solemnly, "She looks like a friend I used to know. ”

Seeing him so serious, Ryoko suddenly couldn't help laughing; "Okay, you, such an old-fashioned pick-up line, I'm afraid it wasn't used by people fifty years ago."

Drip ——! A familiar phone call came in out of nowhere.

"It's been a long time since Ilan, let's meet you at night, I'm waiting for you on the roof of the Cambi Mansion."

Alan looked at the caller message with some surprise; "Locille!? She's coming too? ”

Then the dinner officially began, and Simmons, the person in charge of the dinner, introduced tonight's protagonist, Arasaka Tsuki.

"Miss Arasaka will be based in the research department from today onwards and will be the person in charge of a confidential project, and the project team members will receive an official letter of transfer after the dinner, so remember to sign for it."

During the dinner, Ryoko has been pestering Alan to drink and entertain, and Alan has hacked into the surveillance video of the Kambi Mansion Hotel while dealing with it, trying to find Locsil's traces, but no matter how he searched, he didn't even find a figure.

"It's really unpleasant to be at the mercy of others." Alan propped his chin on one hand and scanned everyone in the hall. After watching it for a long time, he finally locked his eyes on Arasaka Yue's body. I don't know if it's intuition or suspicion, Alan always feels that this woman is not simple.

It was past nine o'clock in the evening, the dinner ended smoothly, and the guests gradually dispersed.

Ryoko looked a little drunk, and stood beside Alan and staggered, almost unable to stand still; "Ai . . . Allen.... I'll tell you .... Say ah.... I usually .... Never drink alcohol, today is. is the exception: Do you understand? ”

Liangzi, who was full of alcohol, leaned on Ailan's body softly, and muttered something inexplicably, which was like the appearance of the first meeting.

Ailan looked at the drunk Liangzi and was a little helpless, so he could only go to the front desk of the hotel to open a temporary room and place her in it.

"Good.... Miss Ryoko, you can stay here for the night, call me if you have something, I still have something to do, so let's go first. Alan picked up Ryoko and gently placed her on the large soft bed in the hotel.

Ryoko curled up on the bed like a sleeping baby, her face ruddy and slightly drunk, revealing a graceful neck and clearly visible collarbones, and the curves of her body looked particularly seductive under the outline of her clothes, which was by no means comparable to the sex dolls of Genting or Twist Street.

Alan: "Rest well, Miss Ryoko, good night." ”

After settling Liangzi, Alan took the elevator to the roof of the Kambi Mansion according to the information left by Losier. This is a parking place for floating cars, which is generally only affordable for the rich and famous in the city, and ordinary people park their cars underground, in the parking lot.

The roof is very empty, and you can enjoy the surrounding scenery from here, and the night and moonlight are shrouded in the night and moonlight.

"Well, it's beautiful, but it's all built under the pressure of the company, and if you look down, you will see the true face of the city." A familiar voice rang out from Alan's side.

"Long time no see, Alan."

Alan looked at the woman in front of him with some surprise, both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Long time no see, but should I call you Arasaka Moon or Locil,"

"Listen to me Alan, everyone has a secret to tell, and Locil is just another identity of mine, in order to avoid the surveillance of Arasaka agents, I can't use this identity to operate outside."

"Then you asked me to come here, is there anything wrong?"

Arasaka Yue said coldly: "Then I'll get straight to the point, I got the information from the Voodoo Gang secret room half a year ago, what do you know?" ”

Alan pretended to sigh and said, "Alas, I've been doing this for a long time, and I thought you were here to catch up with me." I've seen the stuff in there, and there's not much useful stuff, just a fragment of a memory. ”

Arasaka has a serious face; "What fragments of memory, say clearly."

Alan: "Bridget's memories before she died, she led people into cyberspace, through black walls. It was a broken and dangerous field, and no one dared to risk entering, and I had to admire them, they were very bold. ”

Arasaka Tsuki: "Why did they go behind the black wall?" For what? ”

Alan: "I don't know, let me ask you a question, do you know Ott Cunningham?" ”

Arasaka Tsuki: "What are you asking for?" What does this have to do with her? ”

"Tell me about her first."

"Ott Cunningham... Night City's best cyber hacker is Johnny Silverhand's girlfriend. One day, Arasaka is just a gang of gangsters who capture Ultra, who intends to use Ultra's extraordinary talent for programming to design a program called "Soul Slayer". This program can be copied and downloaded from any cyber hacker's mind. It is undoubtedly dangerous, and it will have the power to kill anyone they wish to copy its ideas. ”

Later, Johnny Silverhand came up with a plan. He summons a commando team to infiltrate Arasaka Corporation in an attempt to rescue Ott Cunningham. The commandos managed to infiltrate the building, but it was too late. Cunningham is dead. Thankfully, it was only her shell that disappeared, and Ultra's consciousness was left in cyberspace. Being on the other side of the black wall has caused a huge change in Otter's consciousness, making her more like a wandering AI than a human. ”

When Alan heard this, it dawned on him; "I see, she's looking for Ott."

Arasaka: "Bridget, what is she doing with Ott?" ”

Alan: "I guess she wants Ott to make sure she and the Voodoo Gang are safe outside the Black Wall. ”

Arasaka Tsuki: "Why do they want to come outside the Black Wall?" ”

Alan: "The corporate-controlled networks are now the same as they were when the Black Wall was first created. The Voodoo gang wanted to take advantage of this and wait for the time to come and fight alongside them. ”

Arasaka: "What do you mean by 'they'?" Liberal AI? Is this Ken = possible? ”

Alan: "It's not impossible to be prepared. However, they cooperated with the mercenary named V for some reason, but the two sides clashed, and they all died in the secret room. ”

After listening, Arasaka Yue turned his serious expression just now: "Okay, I understand, in addition to this, I have another thing to tell you, the official notice, you will work under my hands from tomorrow, get ready." ”

Alan was stunned; "Huh!? No, what the hell are you doing? ”

Arasaka Yue showed a sinister smirk, and said with bad intentions: "Hmph, you will know tomorrow, come to my office tomorrow morning to report, dare to be late and you will look good!" I'll go first, bye-bye. ”

After Arasaka left, Ailan was left alone on the roof of the building, messy in the wind, and what happened tonight completely exceeded his expectations, and his intuition told him that the future would not be easy.

Drip! A text message came.

"In the future, if there is no one, you can just call me Losil, or call me Yue directly, I listen more comfortably."
