Cyberpunk: Legendary Life

Chapter 69 Soul Killer

Tang Yu returned to his office.

Sit on the office chair, hold the chip in your left hand, and spin it in a circle.

"The sincerity is acceptable."

A luxury Renfield limited-edition sports car, even a second-hand car, cannot be bought with money.

Jenkins should have worked hard to get this car.

For the head of the Arasaka Intelligence Department, this luxury car can only be regarded as a relatively expensive toy.

A luxury car was not enough to tempt him, so he blindly believed that Arthur Jenkins was interested in his ability.

What do favors mean when working in Arasaka?

Not even a root hair.

Today you smile and congratulate, but tomorrow you turn your back and kill someone. This happens all the time.

More importantly, Jenkins gave such an expensive gift, which has two meanings.

On the surface, it seems to be a sign of goodwill, but on a deeper level, it shows that he is still suspicious.

Arthur Jenkins noticed that Tang Yu, who had been promoted by his own hands, was already showing signs of being out of control.

The master is shocked by his high achievements.

Tang Yu would not fail to understand this simple truth.

It's just that the two of them are still sitting in the same boat, and their interests are tied to each other. Even if there is a gap, they will choose to turn a blind eye or close one eye.

Tang Yu turned on the Dragon Fist scan to check and read Rayfield's vehicle certification information.

[Refield "AerondightS9" Sword of the Lake Lady]

[8-liter W16 engine, 1,000 horsepower, acceleration time from 100 kilometers per hour to 100 kilometers per hour in only 2 seconds, maximum speed of 407 kilometers per hour]

[Both the inside and outside are made of high-tech lightweight materials such as aluminum, titanium, glass fiber, and carbon fiber]

From the appearance point of view, the base color is dark blue pearl, and the front hatch is glowing with blue flowing light and shadow.

After scanning and recording the vehicle authentication chip, you can use the smart glasses to log in to the authenticated vehicle the next time you pick up the car.

Tang Yu opened the office drawer and threw the authentication chip in. As for picking up the car, he would wait until he had time.

He recovered his mind and began to prepare for the next step.

When Michiko Xiao explained the matter, she had to make some preparations in advance. With the intelligence authority of a higher director level, she would naturally have a better understanding of military technology.

He turned on his office computer, logged into the Arasaka Company intelligence system, and entered the Advanced Intelligence Archive Center.

Select Director Level Intelligence Profile.

Click OK.

The system begins to confirm identity information.

"sign in suceesfully."

This was Tang Yu's first time logging into the Arasaka director-level intelligence system, but the browsing range was limited to military technology-related areas.

It should be a permission specially set by Michiko, limited to work use.

The confidential information about military technology contained here will have a great impact if exposed, and may even lead to another hot weapons war between the two companies.

"Soul Killer?"

Tang Yu casually browsed and found that Johnny's ex-girlfriend information was recorded in the file.

Click to view.

The genius female hacker Ott Cunningham developed a new consciousness digitization technology.

This technology can digitize human consciousness, then extract it from the body and transfer it to the cyberspace.

Originally, this technology was used to create an electronic virtual identity for humans who were about to die.

However, it has attracted the attention of many giant companies such as Arasaka, Military Technology, and Yeshi Company.

Arasaka "recruited" Ott Cunningham in a unique way, and based on this, he developed the Soul Killer program.

After the soul killer program is opened, all the information in the human brain will be copied and extracted by the program to form a cloned data consciousness, which is called an "imprint."

At the same time, the program will upload the "imprint" to the subnet or cyberspace and kill his original consciousness.

In the fourth corporate war, Arasaka and Military Technology launched a protracted offensive and defensive battle against network hackers.

Arasaka Company finally used soul killer technology to burn tens of thousands of hackers hired by military technology to end this electronic network war.

Military technology has been trying to steal the technology ever since, with little success.

There is intelligence that military technology once supported Johnny Silverhand's terrorist attacks in order to completely destroy this technological foundation, the Arasaka Tower subnet.

After Tang Yu browsed the information, it was basically consistent with what he knew, and the intelligence was very credible.

In August 2023, the nuclear explosion burned down almost half of Night City.

That small nuclear bomb was sponsored by Military Technology to Johnny.

And after so many years, Arasaka is still using the soul killer program to roast other people's brains.

Even in a space station far away in low-Earth orbit, as long as it is invaded by Arasaka's powerful hacker system, the soul killer may burn the brain and extract the imprint of the consciousness at any time.

Tang Yu couldn't help but think that there were a large number of digital souls locked in the Arasaka Tower at his feet, in the basement and the shrine.

They are like the innocent souls trapped in hell, unable to enter the cycle of life and death, and can only wander in the Arasaka subnet day after day without rest.

A large number of human consciousness imprints provide Arasaka with a considerable number of experimental samples for relic development.

Tang Yu speculated.

The reason why Saburo Arasaka kept his rebellious son Yorinobu Arasaka was most likely due to the imprint covering experiment.

Experiments on human subjects that are similar and close to the 'imprint' in terms of genes, personality, emotions, etc. may have a higher success rate.

The information was limited to the soul killer program, and did not mention the more in-depth shrines or mark covering experiments.

This secret information should currently only be available to members of the Arasaka family and researchers directly related to Saburo Arasaka.

The digital soul of Johnny Silverhand is not in the Arasaka Tower Shrine in Night City, but in the Arasaka headquarters in Kyoto.

Even if Tang Yu wanted to rescue his old friend, he was unable to do so.

We still have to wait until Arasaka Yorinobu breaks up with his father and comes to Night City with the relic chip, and then find a proper way to get it.

Tang Yu continued to browse other information, trying to find one that met the mission requirements.

It is necessary to expose the shortcomings of military technology and cause them some trouble so that they can speak to the board of directors.

It is also necessary to clear away Arasaka's suspicion and avoid a head-on conflict between the two companies, which will affect the "harmonious" relationship between Michiko and the new America.

"It's really hard to be a corporate dog!"

Tang Yu sighed.

suddenly.

He thought of the middle-aged lame man he met while running to buy water last night. He had participated in the metal war and was discharged after burning off one leg. He mentioned that he did not want to become a cybermaniac.

The experiences of the middle-aged lame man and the cybermaniac James Norris are somewhat similar.

All have participated in the war, are veterans, and have military technology backgrounds.

Obviously.

The middle-aged lame man chose to accept the more advanced and advanced prosthetic body provided by military technology.

Then he will most likely end up like James, becoming a cyber madman.

But the consequences of rejection were equally bad. Relying on a meager retirement fee, he could only struggle to survive in Night City.

Tang Yu frowned slightly and continued to think along the lines of thought.

"If this incident is used as an entry point, conclusive evidence is found, and the scandal of how some military technology treats veterans is exposed, it may be able to create a wave of counterattack against military technology."

"But it's useless to just stir up a wave and shout a few slogans. Everyone in Night City has already known about the dirty things done by the company."

"The vital interests of military technology must be affected, and their flesh must be cut off with real swords and guns."

"Otherwise, we won't be able to put it on the board of directors, and we won't be able to convince Michiko."

Tang Yu browsed for a while and learned a lot about the recent trends in military technology.

Some transported weapons into Night City, and some escorted some important figures out of the city. These did not meet Tang Yu's mission requirements.

After browsing for a while, there wasn't much useful information.

Tang Yu exited the intelligence system, turned off the computer, and closed his eyes to rest.

"Some things cannot be rushed. Slowly, there may be new opportunities."

There will be another update around twelve o'clock.
