Chapter 195 Preparations for Welcome to the New World

Cyan Bi Building.

Top floor luxury suite.

Arasaka Yoshinobu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the entire city.

He just woke up not long ago, wearing a dark gold nightgown, holding a glass of red wine in his hand, slowly tasting it.

On the big bed behind him, under the messy quilt and pillowcase, there was a bewitching beauty sleeping soundly, with white arms and long legs resting on the edge of the bed, as if she was still immersed in sleep due to overwork.

The entire suite is large in size, and the three sides of the luxurious flat floor are composed of panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows.

A giant screen divides the living room and bedroom, electronic devices and smart homes are displayed around, and there is even a chameleon, clinging to a dead branch motionless.

This suite was specially built by the Konbi Building for the Arasaka family, and it is basically vacant at ordinary times, and it is only used when members of the Arasaka family need it.

It’s just that Saburo Arasaka and Hanako Arasaka have never stayed in the Night City Konbi Building, and Hanako Arasaka has her own manor, so only Yoshinobu Arasaka lives in this suite.

He usually lives in this room when he comes to Night City, and enjoys his happiness here.

Arasaka Lai Xuanyi's eyes circled and he connected to an encrypted call, and a mysterious voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Lai Xuan, the operation has begun, get your people ready."

With a dignified expression, Lai Xuan replied seriously: "The board of directors will be convened in Arasaka Tower today. As long as the action is successful, it is impossible for her to secure that position again."

The mysterious voice continued: "Actually, you could have been tougher. The more frequently our people move, the more prone to mistakes. She is already on the alert, and the reinforcements sent to the stronghold have increased. It is said that many departments have joined investigation into the attack."

"She has been in the business of Arasaka Tower in Night City for many years. There are some things that don't need to be extreme. All I want is to take away from that damn guy what doesn't belong to him." Lai Xuan's tone was a little angry.

He has always hated only one person, and has not implicated others. If he wants to save the whole world from his father Saburo Arasaka, he can only remove all obstacles step by step.

For Michiko Arasaka, who is in charge of Night City, he chose a softer approach, otherwise the team that attacked the Arasaka stronghold would appear in Michiko Arasaka's villa next time.

Lai Xuan didn't want to become a cruel and tyrannical guy like his father Arasaka Saburo, and he would never do the thing of fratricide.

"Reinforcement is a routine operation of the company. The heads of those departments are basically following the wind and will not really make efforts to investigate this matter. In fact, there is only one person I am worried about."

The mysterious voice asked: "Are you talking about Tang Yu from the Counter-Intelligence Department?"

Before Laisaka Arasaka arrived in Night City, they had already found out a lot of information in advance, and they focused on Tang Yu.

"Yes, Tang Yu got a private meeting with him at Arasaka Manor in Kyoto, and took a private mission back to Arasaka Tower, City of Night."

"He planned to take down the Voodoo Gang in Taiping State, trying to steal the subnet Poseidon, but was intercepted by Adam Heavy Hammer."

"But things are not as simple as they appear on the surface. I suspect that Tang Yu still has other backers. He may also be involved in the matrix space of Ye's company."

"The Counterintelligence Department got involved in this matter, but there was no intelligence showing that there was any major action. Judging from the manor banquet, I feel that this person is not loyal to Arasaka, but I am not sure about his position."

The mysterious voice was silent for a moment, and explained: "He does have some means to reach the top relationship in such a short period of time, but no matter what, he is just an ordinary person. If he guesses some internal reasons, it's fine to keep silent. If he dares to stop us , that can only make him shut up forever."

Arasaka Yoshinobu didn't object, he wasn't from the same way, so naturally there was no need to worry about anything.

The mysterious voice asked again: "Has the Ye family ever met with you? They should be very interested in what we have."

Arasaka Lai Xuan showed disdain, and said coldly: "These companies are not reliable at all. I have already contacted the people who monitor the Internet to see if they are willing to cooperate."

"When we take down the Arasaka Tower in Night City, follow-up matters should also be put on the agenda. We need to obtain the technology to destroy Soul Killer, so as to stop his ridiculous plans and ambitions from the root."

"I hope everything goes well." The other end of the phone hung up.

When Arasaka Yoshinobu heard movement behind him, he closed his eyes.

At this time, two white hands hooked his shoulders from behind, and his tone was extremely gentle.

"Did you sleep well? Woke up so early, let me make you some breakfast."

Lai Xuan smiled slightly, and tipped a huge amount of money to the naked woman behind him.

Just as she was about to serve the big client in front of her again, she received a message that someone had visited.

"No need, I have something to do now, you can go back first." Arasaka Raiko refused the woman's initiative, got up and walked towards the living room.

The woman didn't care when she got the money, and changed her clothes behind the screen with a smile.

After she was fully dressed, she blew a kiss to Arasaka Raisan, then stepped on the small high heels and walked towards the elevator.

The elevator door opened automatically, and the woman froze.

I saw a tall black mechanical warrior standing in front of me, and the cold-blooded prosthetic eyes were shining red, scanning her unceremoniously.

The woman stood still, not daring to move, and could only wait for the other party to walk out of the elevator and pass her by.

"It's just a piece of rotten meat that has been played with."

When the woman heard what the other person said, her heart trembled, she didn't dare to stay any longer, she hurriedly stepped into the elevator and left.

When Arasaka Laishu saw that Adam Heavy Hammer was coming, he ordered him bluntly.

"You will go to the outskirts of the city and keep an eye on it later to make sure that the stronghold is clean after the raid is over."

On the outskirts of the city, Arasaka is a traffic hub.

V and Jack wore Arasaka company security uniforms and followed the team to be scanned at the entrance of the stronghold.

After confirming that they were correct, they entered the stronghold smoothly.

This Arasaka company armed team is stationed in the stronghold as a reinforcement force to help strengthen the security of the stronghold.

After the team dispersed, Jack joined V, found a high ground, and exchanged information while pretending to be a lookout.

Jack is fully armed, with a bulletproof vest and cassette loaded with ammunition, and a heavy machine gun on his back.

"I don't know when the other party will make a surprise attack. You should be careful. Don't worry, I'll cover you with Tang Tuo. Just let me come if you need something."

V was dressed similarly to Jack, with standard security clothing and weapons. The only difference was that she carried a long knife on her shoulder, hidden in a black scabbard.

"Then you underestimate me too much. You may be able to tell who will kill the most later. There are at least 30 people in this stronghold. It may not be so easy to solve."

The Arasaka fighters stationed in the stronghold have all undergone rigorous training. Although they are not as good as the Arasaka Tower special service team and elite squad, their military literacy is definitely not low.

Jack shrugged helplessly: "Who knows, maybe the other party has some way to attack by surprise, so you should take it easy."

In order to avoid being noticed by the attacking forces, they suspended the communication with Tang Yu.

According to the prior plan, Tang Yu has already squatted at the point, waiting for the opportunity to act.

According to Tang Yu's previous inference, this attack is very likely to be stuck at a critical point in time.

The board of directors will be held today, presumably many board members will mention this matter at the meeting, and will take the opportunity to ask for an attack on military technology.

If Michiko could not make up her mind and wanted to continue to suppress this matter, then this larger-scale attack on the stronghold would be the final critical blow.

At that time.

It is difficult for Xiao Michiko to tell the difference. Not only will she be held accountable by the Kyoto headquarters, but she will also be labeled as weak and unfavorable to the outside world.

However, it is not advisable to launch an attack on military technology. Not all attacks are carried out by military technology. Arasaka's hasty attack may arouse even greater conflicts.

Military technology is not a soft persimmon, and it is not empty in the face of Arasaka.

There is only one way for Michiko to get out of this predicament, and that is to catch the real culprit.

This is Tang Yu's plan. As long as the real perpetrator is caught and it proves that someone is provoking conflicts between the two companies, these problems will naturally be solved.

Xiao Michiko can not only deal with Saburo Arasaka, but also control the board of directors.

It's just that the situation is more complicated this time. According to Tang Yu's analysis, this well-trained raid team is very likely to be Lai Xuan's people.

If after successfully catching people and finding evidence from their memory storage chips, it will be difficult for Lai Xuan.

Tang Yu didn't tell V and Jack about these calculations for the time being, they just needed to hold back the attacker.

Jack and V communicated on the high ground for a while, and then received a notification to switch defenses, so the two found corresponding positions and guarded with guns.

Time passed by, Jack stood a little bored, he yawned involuntarily, raised his hand slightly to move his shoulders.

Sudden.

A fine, soundless bullet streaked through the air, directly piercing through an Arasaka security guard at the height of the stronghold, and the whole person immediately fell down.

Jack was quick-witted in an instant, and immediately concentrated his attention, found a cover and pulled the safety of the gun, looked around vigilantly, and then sent a voice to remind him.

"Sister, there are enemy attacks, be careful."

The voice just fell.

The four security personnel standing guard at the height of the stronghold lost their strength and turned over and fell to the ground, making dull noises.

All the strongholds were instantly lit up with red alarms, indicating that there was an enemy attack.

The erected intelligent heavy weapons were activated immediately, and the infrared rays scanned around to search for traces of the enemy, but nothing was found at all.

Several security guards at the access control level of the stronghold, held their breath, walked lightly, held the machine gun nervously, turned on the scan and looked around, trying to defend themselves and find out the enemies hiding in the dark.

But before they could react, there seemed to be a transparent figure approaching rapidly in the air, and a samurai sword with a hot red light suddenly appeared, and directly slashed at it.

An Arasaka warrior subconsciously raised his gun to block, but was still cut by the heat energy samurai knife, and the man and the gun were split into two pieces, which broke into two pieces and rolled to the ground, with a squeaking sound at the break.

Everyone in Arasaka was terrified, and they raised their machine guns and fired wildly at invisible invisible targets.

"Invisibility, the opponent has optical invisibility!"

Even though they saw through the opponent's methods, it was still useless. Many security fighters were stabbed twice in the chaos and quickly ended their lives.

Jack, who was hiding in the stronghold, saw this horrific scene. The people at the door were killed by a mysterious thermal katana, and their deaths were tragic.

While conveying the news to V, Jack took off two electromagnetic pulse bombs from his body with one hand, and threw them out on the spot after they were activated, trying to stop the other party from entering the stronghold.

boom!Zizizi.

The electronic pulse sparks exploded, and the fast-moving figure of the transparent person was blocked, and a figure was entwined by the electric arc, showing a certain part of the body from time to time.

Ninja?

Jack took a sneak peek for a while, and found that the other party was dressed in a very cherry blossom style, and the whole body was tightly wrapped, leaving only a pair of eye slits.

As the soldiers at the gate of the stronghold were beheaded to death, the attacking team launched a charge, and eight people suddenly rushed out from several directions, shooting wildly at the stronghold.

The turrets and heavy gun mounts erected in the stronghold were destroyed one after another by the opponent, and there was no way to fight back.

Arasaka fighters can only hold smart weapons, hide behind the bunker and fight back at the opponent.

But these human prosthetic bodies are very sophisticated, and the subcutaneous armor is not afraid of the bullets that follow around the bend.

The transparent man got rid of the electromagnetic pulse, then exited the gate of the stronghold backwards, and entered the stealth state again.

Jack didn't dare to be careless, and immediately seized the time to find V, and passed the situation here to Tang Yu after meeting.

After confirming that Tang Yu had received the information, Jack scolded in a low voice: "You horse riders, I didn't expect these people to be really skilled. They have money to install such an expensive combat implant, so why come to grab this small stronghold?"

V also realized the seriousness of the problem, the gun was no longer able to deal with the transparent person, so he could only draw out the long knife on his back shoulder.

A shiny steel samurai sword, shining in the sun.

Jack was dazzled by the light of the knife, and asked curiously: "This knife looks very sharp."

V gripped the long knife tightly with both hands, tested the feel and replied: "Tang sent it, said it was called 'jue', try it later and you will know."

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed a change, and a transparent figure charged into the stronghold again, killing two people instantly with the thermal katana.

The entire stronghold fell into chaos, and the remaining dozen or so security personnel were unable to organize an effective counterattack at all.

V picked up a puddle of blood on the ground with the point of the knife, and threw it in the general direction of the transparent person.

She fixed her eyebrows and found a drop of blood that seemed to be in mid-air, slowly dripping down to the ground.

The whole action looks like slashing in the air with a knife, without any rules.

V realized that the opponent's stealth equipment was not only bulletproof but also dustproof, so he had to seize the opportunity to give him a fatal blow before the blood drops completely fell to the ground.

The people in the stronghold fell down one by one. Jack could only shoot instinctively, but the opponent moved too fast and couldn't react at all.

Sudden.

V noticed that the drop of blood was galloping towards Jack's direction, she immediately turned on Sean Wistan, stepped forward and swung her knife towards the air.

Between Lightning and Flint.

A thermal katana appeared out of nowhere in front of Jack, slashing at his forehead.

Jack looked terrified, but it was too late to resist, and saw another shining long knife slashed out at the same time, and slashed towards a transparent void.

Just when the thermal energy katana was about to fall on Jack's forehead, there was a sound of flesh being cut, and the two halves of humanoid flesh and blood hissed and slid away.

The long knife in V's hand had already been cut off, and the transparent human figure showed its real body, cut in half and knocked to the ground.

Seeing this astonishing scene, Jack was stunned, speechless for a long time.

V killed the transparent man with a knife, and he was also very surprised. He didn't expect the knife to be so sharp that it could easily cut through the opponent's subcutaneous armor.

There was no obstacle in the whole process of chopping down, and only two words can be used to describe it.

silky.

She raised the long knife in her hand to check again and again, the fine steel blade was not curled at all, not even a drop of blood was stained on it, it was almost hair cut off.

With this baby, V knew how to play instantly.

She looked back at the dazed Jack, and said bluntly, "Leave the rest to me."

Done.

V directly activated the highest power of the 'Raptor', and rushed out of the stronghold with a brisk walk, as fast as a gust of wind, leaving only Jack in a daze on the spot.

When V had disappeared, Jack quickly ran out of the stronghold with a machine gun in his hand to check the situation outside.

I saw the opponent's eight firepower points, one after another turned off, no one could survive a single blow, all of them were cut into two by V.

"Ma Ma Lai Di, can this still belong to the human category?"

After dealing with the assailant, V stepped back and returned to the original place. Apart from taking a few breaths and being a little tired, there was no other abnormality.

Jack asked in a trembling voice, "Chica, are you still thinking well? Do you feel hot, hallucinate, or want to vomit?"

V was a little strange when asked, stretched out the back of his hand and touched his forehead, just finished the battle at a high speed, he was sweating and hot to some extent, but his head was not hot, so he explained frankly.

"No, it's quite normal, but it's more tiring than punching."

Jack: "."

"This is really seeing the King of Hades in broad daylight. If I knew you had this ability, I would have panicked, ahahahahaha." Jack put away his gun, saw the mess of dead bodies around him, and smiled a bit reluctantly.

V put away his long knife and was about to check the attacker's situation. Not far away, Tang Yu drove over in a vehicle.

The fighting movement on the scene has subsided, and he probably guessed that V ended the battle early.

When Jack saw Tang Yu coming, as if he had found a savior, he hurried forward with a wry smile, and praised V's good skills in a big way.

On the way here, Tang Yu used the "weak electric control energy" to destroy all the memory storage data in the attacker's brain.

V also came to Tang Yu, a little proud, showing off: "How about it, this mission didn't disappoint you, remember to pay the full reward."

Tang Yu asked: "Well, the reward should be full, do you want this knife?"

V's smile froze in an instant, and he said badly: "Come on, love is a business again, let's keep it in the account, and don't be afraid of it if you owe a lot."

Tang Yu got up and walked into the stronghold, saw the ninja corpse cut in half, and went forward to check it carefully.

Just by this makeup and appearance, it can be judged that they are definitely not people with military technology.

Tang Yu collected relevant evidence and was about to leave the scene and return to Arasaka Tower.

The three walked out of the stronghold.

Suddenly, in the sky not far away, an Arasaka armed floating vehicle approached, and landed slowly after reaching the sky.

Tang Yu saw that the safety level of this floating car belonged to members of the Arasaka family. It was neither exclusive to Saburo Arasaka nor Michiko who was stored in the warehouse, so this armed floating car could only belong to Raisaka Arasaka.

The door of the floating car opened wide, and what came out was not Arasaka Yoshinobu, but a tall black mechanical figure, with red prosthetic eyes scanning the three of them.

Seeing that it was Adam Hammer who came, V immediately looked serious, and couldn't help clenching his iron fists tightly.

Adam Heavy Hammer looked around, walked straight towards the three of them, and said expressionlessly.

"The scene of blood and flesh flying everywhere, I didn't expect it to be a step late."

Then, Adam Heavy Hammer looked at V and Jack behind Tang Yu, and there was a killing intent in his plain voice.

"But they're not from Arasaka."

Tang Yu replied indifferently: "They are informants arranged by the Counterintelligence Department to assist in the investigation of the attack, which is not within the scope of your duties."

"Working in Arasaka, you must understand your position, Adam Hammer."

Adam Heavy Hammer laughed twice, putting away his hostility.

"It is interesting."

"With two worms."

After speaking, he walked towards the stronghold with heavy mechanical steps.

"Fuck!"

'Who is the worm who said riding a horse? '

V wished he could hack Adam Heavy Hammer to death with a knife on the spot. Seeing his incomparably arrogant appearance, every pore was angry.

Tang Yu said in a deep voice: "Get in the car first."

The three got back into the car and drove away all the way.

in the carriage.

V sat alone in the back row, looking out of the window coldly, without speaking.

Jack was sitting in the co-pilot, and asked with some palpitations: "That man just now was Adam Hammer, oh my god, only half of the brain is left in the whole body prosthetic body transformation, carrying such a big gun barrel, this is simply Taiwan. war machine."

Tang Yu explained: "He should have been arranged by someone, but it was a bit late."

Jack noticed V's puffy appearance, and asked a little strangely: "Hey, V, what's the matter, you've been in a bad mood since you saw Adam Hammer just now, he's a living legend, he's the same as Johnny Silver Hand The legend of Morgan's black hand who has done a fight."

V snorted twice: "Don't mention this, order him a glass of wine in 'Later Life' as soon as possible, a glass of black skin that is not autumnal, soaked in two red strawberries, it goes well with him."

Jack smiled.

Tang Yu explained for V: "When I was in Taipingzhou, Adam fell with a heavy hammer in the sky, and accidentally stepped on one of her hands, and the beam was formed."

V said angrily: "It's okay, it's not like some people rely on their status and status, and they dare not even offend Adam's heavy hammer. They are extremely majestic."

Tang Yu shook his head helplessly.

With V's current strength, if he wants to single out Adam Heavy Hammer, the gap in hard power is still a bit big.

That guy's prosthetic body condensed Arasaka's most advanced efforts, and it was more than enough to overwhelm an army.

Although V is very talented, but in terms of implant equipment, it is still a few grades behind Adam Heavy Hammer.

Not to mention the thermal weapons, the basic operating system, Adam Heavy Hammer can be fully equipped, and all of them are high-end products.

Others may have to hit many shots and cut many knives to kill Adam Hammer, but he may only need one shot to kill others.

Tang Yu didn't want to turn against Lai Xuan, and there was no need to care about this kind of killing machine lunatic for the time being.

He now has to rush back to Arasaka Tower and hand over the evidence in his hand to Michiko Arasaka.

Since the attackers are all dead, and the memory storage in their minds has been burned, there is no evidence pointing to Raisaka Arasaka.

That's all Tang Yu can do. As for the result of the continued infighting of the Arasaka family, he really can't control it.

Arasaka Yoshinobu wanted to turn himself into a bomb, destroy Arasaka Saburo's eternal life plan, win the power and set off the fifth corporate war, and let the world be reborn in the ashes of the war.

Tang Yu once agreed with this idea, but the reality told him that if he wanted to achieve this goal, he had to be prepared to sacrifice everything.

And in the longer future, Arasaka may fall, but there will still be companies and organizations like Honzaka and Sakurazaka.

Welcome to a whole new world.

None of them are ready yet.

 None tonight.
