Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

Night City.

Company Plaza, Arasaka Tower.

Tang Yu, who worked the morning shift, had just finished checking his identity information and was about to walk into the main entrance when he unexpectedly saw a company motorcade driving to a temporary parking spot in front of the door.

After the black extended-length bulletproof company car at the front stopped, the secretaries and bodyguards immediately rushed to open the car door. A middle-aged woman wearing Arasaka Company's standard suit and uniform walked out slowly from the car door, strong and powerful. His capable aura was immediately revealed.

The surrounding staff who were approaching Arasaka Tower also stopped and stood aside to avoid her, silently watching the middle-aged woman.

This momentum is eye-catching.

Tang Yu turned around and couldn't help but sigh with a smile.

"Looks like today is my lucky day."

The middle-aged woman who walked toward the company's main entrance as if there was no one around was Susan Abernathy, director of special operations of Arasaka Company.

Tang Yu deliberately slowed down and walked through the hall to the public elevator.

There are three public elevators in the main lobby of Arasaka Tower. Although there are single or double elevators in other slightly remote locations, company executives generally only take the main elevator, which is in line with the company's workplace identity and status.

Tang Yu walked two steps ahead to the public elevator in the main area and waited. There were eight or nine Arasaka employees waiting around him. They stopped talking in low voices after seeing Tang Yu.

It was now the morning rush hour, so the elevator was running tight. About half a minute later, the sound of high heels stepping on the floor came from behind Tang Yu, as well as the noise of crowds.

Two uniformed bodyguards with slicked back hair jogged to the elevator, wearing sunglasses and standing sideways to the left and right of the middle elevator door.

The actions of the two bodyguards quickly caused everyone in front of the elevator door to disperse voluntarily, because they knew that the company's bodyguards in Arasaka must be high-level executives of the company, and no one would want to be noticed by their superiors because of such a trivial matter as waiting for the elevator.

The crowd had dispersed, but Tang Yu still stood motionless at the elevator door in the middle, treating the big bodyguards on both sides as nothing, and continued to wait for the elevator to descend.

Abernathy was walking in a hurry while arranging work for his subordinates. He was not paying attention to the way forward. When he was approaching the elevator door, he almost bumped into the person in front of him. He suddenly became angry. He was half-way through explaining his work. stopped.

Suddenly.

The whole hall fell into silence.

The people in the audience were divided into three distinct circles.

Standing in the outermost circle were the Arasaka staff members who rushed to work sporadically, while the middle circle was tightly surrounded by bodyguards and subordinates of the Special Operations Department in front of the elevator, and the innermost circle was surrounded by Tang Yu and Albert. Naxi.

When Abernathy saw someone blocking his way, the skin on his forehead, which was normally well-maintained, unconsciously wrinkled into a few obvious lines.

"Sir in front of you, please give way. Our director is in a hurry to have a meeting now."

A male bodyguard immediately understood the intention of the boss's frowning expression and thought that the person blocking the elevator was so short-sighted. He knew that the company's senior director was coming and did not give up his position.

Tang Yu didn't bother to look back at the situation behind him, and said completely nonchalantly: "Does the company have regulations to give up your seat while waiting for the elevator?"

The bodyguard approached and said sternly: "This is the Director of Special Operations, Ms. Susan Abernathy. She needs to go to the council meeting immediately, now."

"Snapped!"

Before he could finish speaking, Tang Yu slapped the security guard hard on the face and knocked him to the ground.

Everyone in the entire hall was stunned by the slap, and stared at the dramatic scene in front of them.

The other three bodyguards immediately went into alert mode and wanted to step forward to subdue Tang Yu, but they stopped immediately after hearing his words.

"Louis, an H-level employee of Arasaka Company and the personal bodyguard of the Director of Special Operations, is suspected of installing dangerously modified armed prosthetics that have not been officially authorized by Arasaka Company, posing a serious threat to the security of the Arasaka Tower office space. I would like to ask Susan Ai Director Bernassi, how should we deal with those who violate company regulations?"

Tang Yu then turned around and looked at the middle-aged woman behind him with a smile, waiting for her answer, and found that the other party was scanning and reading his identity information with his prosthetic eyes.

Susan Abernathy quickly saw who the young man in front of her was, so she said with a cold expression: "It's you."

Tang Yu replied politely: "I didn't expect that Director Abernathy would still remember me, and we met in the company by such a coincidence. If you are really in a hurry, I think the elevator has already reached the lobby."

With that said, Tang Yu pointed to the side-door elevator not far away. It had already lowered to the lobby and the gate was wide open. Several Arasaka employees who had just entered realized that the situation was not right and immediately trotted out of the elevator with drinks in their hands to vacate the elevator.

Susan Abernathy was obviously aware of the other party's provocation, but now she was inside the Arasaka Tower Company. Even if she wanted to take action, she would be bound by the rules. Now she did not have Tang Yu's fatal handle, so she could not touch him for the time being. She felt that with her status, she was not in a position to argue with employees of Tang Yu's level.

In her opinion, Tang Yu was just a loyal dog under Jenkins. There was almost no faction in Arasaka Tang Yu, and he was completely promoted by Jenkins. As long as Jenkins fell, Tang Yu's good days would come to an end.

Susan Abernathy stopped several bodyguards who wanted to take action. The wrinkles on her forehead relaxed and she said with a haughty expression: "It's okay. You waited for this elevator first. I'll wait for the next one."

Tang Yu didn't realize that this director with a strong personality could tolerate such a bad breath. He expected that the other party most likely felt that he was destined to be defeated. If something went wrong, there would be a monster. However, for now, he wanted to provoke the strong woman first. Disgusted her for once.

At this time, the elevator arrived at the lobby, and the gray-silver gate slowly opened.

After Tang Yu walked into the elevator, he turned to face Susan Abernathy and suggested in a friendly tone: "Director Abernathy, please be careful if your bodyguard installs a prosthetic body of unknown origin that is not authorized by the company. In case of a virus, he becomes Cybermaniac, it doesn’t matter if you’re injured, but don’t bring down other colleagues in the company.”

Susan Abernathy's originally flat forehead suddenly burst with dark veins and veins. She glanced coldly at the bodyguard on the ground, then covered her left temple with one hand, and her prosthetic eye turned a red aperture.

Immediately afterwards, the security guard lying on the ground fell straight to the ground as if dying, and blue fire and electric sparks appeared from the back of his head.

She stared coldly at Tang Yu in the elevator and said, "Thank you for the reminder, but you haven't even implanted a basic prosthesis, so be careful."

The elevator door just closed, blocking what she said.

Tang Yu dusted his sleeves. He had no intention of listening to Susan Abernathy's trash talk. He probably made the other party very angry this time, but now was not the time to care about these little episodes. Next, he still needed to see Mann. The progression of their movements.

In front of the elevator in the lobby, Susan Abernathy still stopped in mid-sentence, but Tang Yu had already taken the elevator upstairs.

She retracted her hands and crossed them in front of her body, clenching her fists tightly and clenching her teeth tightly. She remained motionless until the next elevator came, but she still stood there without entering.

The bodyguard who died suddenly and lay on the ground was quickly dragged away and dealt with secretly. The staff who were watching the excitement also deliberately avoided the place of trouble and tacitly chose to go to other elevators.

After a moment, Susan Abernathy let go of her hands and walked into the elevator expressionlessly.

In the elevator, she explained to her secretary.

"Ask Carter, that loser, to get something useful right away. What's the difference between raising him to lurk for so long and being a useless person?"

"Also, let Caitlin hurry up and trace the whereabouts of the prosthetic body. I want to hear a progress report today."

"I don't want to see him a second time in the company."

"do you understand?"
