Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 12 Ice Blue Light Pink
The pale gold of the rising sun shone across the city skyline.

Tang Yu was wearing a straight suit and was taking a suspended rail car to the Santo Domingo Valley area.

There were not many people in the carriage, but he still chose a position near the door so that he could easily look out the window.

At the same time, through the portable communicator, some Arasaka's daily affairs are handled remotely.

At this time, Arthur Jenkins, head of Arasaka's counterintelligence department, suddenly called.

Tang Yu's judgment should be to ask about the whereabouts of the prosthetic body. There may be new information in such a hurry.

So pick up the call.

Jenkins: "Don, did you find any clues to that military-grade Swan Westan over there?"

Tang Yu categorically denied: "It is still under investigation, and I found some basic information from an informant. At present, no one is trading this prosthetic body on the black market or through public channels."

Jenkins: "Is there any clue on the cyber maniac's body?"

Tang Yu: "The prosthetic body on the corpse was stolen before it was sent to NCPD. Since it is not traded on the black market, it is very likely to go through a middleman. I will arrange informants to continue to explore."

Jenkins: "Then hurry up, there is news from my side that the Special Operations Department has already communicated with Tanaka of the R&D Department, and wants to take over this job, who knows why that stinky bastard suddenly wants to intervene in this matter. "

Tang Yu scoffed in his heart, and Carter really leaked the information to Abernathy.

In fact, the department submits the task request to the upper level, and finally distributes the decision to each department for execution. This process is not strictly confidential.

The Counterintelligence Department has many tasks, and the Special Operations Department is also involved. The relationship between the two is generally more cooperation than competition.

It is only because of the conflict between the directors of these two departments that the competition has become increasingly fierce.

And Abernathy single-pointed to find Tanaka, the head of the R&D department, obviously wanting to pick peaches like the last border mission, and it was clearly aimed at Jenkins and himself, not the entire counterintelligence department.

Jenkins continued: "Tanaka of the R&D department is the direct descendant of Saburo Arasaka. Abernathy wants to express his position by flattering Tanaka. You know that the company has not been peaceful recently. Because of the internal conflicts in the Arasaka family, the board of directors is now watching the situation. We also You have to think for yourself and hold the boat steady."

Tang Yu naturally understands the conflicts within the Arasaka family better than Jenkins.

In that life, he still encouraged Arasaka Laishu to fight against his father.

Judging from the present, Arasaka Yoshinobu is still a little younger than Arasaka Saburo.

He calmly replied to his boss Jenkins, "Understood, I will speed up the search."

Then hung up the phone.

The reason why Tang Yu said that there are no clues about the prosthetic body is mainly out of safety considerations.

Before the cage catches the mouse, he will continue to hide his breath and wait for the opportunity.

Tang Yu put away the portable communicator and put it in his trouser pocket, looking at the scenery outside the window as usual, but his peripheral vision inadvertently fell on the ice-blue streamer-like figure in the carriage.

He looked sideways slightly.

The owner of that streamering figure is a silver-haired girl, with a tall and slender figure like a nimble cat, with short shoulder-length silver hair that glows with ice blue and light red rainbow luster in the sun.

However, it is not the silver-haired girl's appearance that really attracts Tang Yu, but her skilled and superb chip-stealing skills.

As a recidivist in his previous life, Tang Yu almost did this kind of thing with Jack and his sister V, but it is extremely rare to be as proficient as her.

I saw the silver-haired girl shuttling in the carriage, picking the target of action, and stealing the nerve socket chip from the neck of the passenger with a flick of her hand.

The passenger whose chip was stolen found little to no, and appeared to be a tech-savvy cyber hacker.

But Tang Yu didn't intend to take care of the other party's stealing chips, as long as the silver-haired girl didn't come to steal her own things.

He has never had a prosthesis implanted in his whole body, and all the devices he uses are wearable prototypes. The price of these brain sensory neural communicator prototypes is more expensive than most communication chip prostheses on the market.

Tang Yu noticed that the targets of the girl with short silver hair were almost all commuters in suits and shoes like himself, and even recognized several of them as employees of Arasaka Company.

Very purposeful.

"Hacking skills are good, and the method should be a veteran."

"Looks like cyberpunk with absolute hostility to corporations."

Pay attention.

Tang Yu withdrew his attention.

For a cyberpunk who dares to fight against the company, Tang Yu is more fond of it, even if he is still wearing the skin of a company dog, now he still needs to use this skin to do something.

Sudden.

Tang Yu was keenly aware that a pair of very dexterous fingers reached into his trouser pocket, and took away the chip of the portable communicator in his trouser pocket.

Tang Yu, who had already been alerted in advance, turned to the right and back, and grabbed the silver-haired girl's slender wrist with his backhand.

Catch it on the spot!

The silver-haired girl who had just got the chip was about to leave quietly, but she never thought that the hand holding the chip would be caught by the other party.

She frowned and turned her head, her horrified eyes collided with the other party for the first time.

Only then did Tang Yu see the whole picture of the silver-haired girl.

Delicate pale face, neon pupils, eyelids and red lips dotted with red lines, appearing mysterious and stubborn.

soon.

Seeing her current situation clearly, the silver-haired girl seemed a little ashamed and angry at the loss, and wanted to break free from the opponent's hand, but found that she was not allowed to break free at all.

Tang Yu's eyes were as calm as water, and he spoke.

"You know it's not a good choice."

The silver-haired girl asked stubbornly:
"what do you want?"

at this time.

Tang Yu noticed that passengers in suits whose chips had been stolen discovered the situation and immediately contacted the flight attendant security.

The transportation station has always paid more attention to the demands of the company's employees, not to mention that those who were stolen were employees of the Arasaka company.

The silver-haired girl shuttled between the carriages repeatedly, and had already attracted the attention of the strong man in security uniform.

They began to walk towards Tang Yu's side, holding the handle of the gun around their waists tightly with their right hands, followed by at least six security personnel and several company employees.

The silver-haired girl also noticed the situation. According to her original plan, she should have left by now while the train was at the station.

But she couldn't do it when her wrist was grabbed, unless she chose to do it.

The next stop is coming, and the situation is getting critical.

The fate of the silver-haired girl is in Tang Yu's hands at this moment, whether to let her go or hand her over to the flight attendant security.

He knew that a cyberpunk like the silver-haired girl would only embark on the road to confront the company with a deep secret.

The suspension car passes through the high-rise buildings, and the interior of the car is sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

When light and shadow intersect.

The girl's silver-white hair color changes into ice blue and light pink with light and shade, showing some kind of neon illusion and confusion.

"Ding Dong, the train has arrived, the next stop is going"

The metal gates of the train opened automatically.

But the silver-haired girl's wrist was still firmly grasped.

The two were still staring at each other tightly.
