Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

At least Saburo Arasaka thought so.

Kei Arasaka, the eldest son of Saburo Arasaka, was born in 1980 and served as the legal representative of Arasaka from 1997 to 2023.

Logically speaking, he is the heir to the Arasaka Empire and the person most valued and trusted by Saburo Arasaka.He was said to be calculating, ruthless, and extremely efficient.

Judging from Arasaka's management history, he inherited his father's ideals—doing everything he can to let Arasaka dominate the world in order to realize his personal ideals.However, he is not as ambitious as Saburo, more like a puppet living in his father's shadow, never showing any interest of his own.

Like a robot, carrying out orders given to him by others.

Kei Arasaka lived and died for his father's ambitions and company, rarely showing any extra emotion, so there's very little recorded about that part either.But he cares about his half-sister Hanako Arasaka, and works hard to ensure the happiness of the family and her.

But Hanako Arasaka doesn't feel the same way about him, because the pillar of the family is Saburo Arasaka as his father, not an elder brother who seems to be unknown and ineffective no matter how hard he tries in the shadows.

He never thought of himself when he was alive, but he always thought of the honor of his family when he died.

The most ruthless imperial family, the Arasaka family, is undoubtedly much higher and countless times stronger than the most powerful and wealthy families in many countries.But when facing death, the ending performance was not so gorgeous.

In 2023, the year Arasaka died, he was in charge of a lot of day-to-day operations while OTEC and CINO were still battling over IHAG and hadn't reached a truce.He takes the fight as seriously as any other business venture, and that's the way he does it.

According to Arasaka tradition, Kei Arasaka will do whatever it takes to ensure victory and never retreat.

He fully supports his father's war, even though he knows it will not end well.

Kei Arasaka has written many manuscripts. His point of view is that war is just another part of the power game, and that everyone involved in the war is a pawn of different levels, not a person.

In other words, war is an extension of politics, and everyone is a big player on the political chessboard of capital.

Even himself.

The chess player was never him, but his father, Saburo Arasaka.

That year, he and General Ikuho Tanaka were on the same front, working for Arasaka's victory.

He had already prepared for the worst, was willing to give everything for the victory, and arranged for the backhand to minimize the loss as much as possible after the defeat in Arasaka.

But Kei Arasaka still lost, and the price was his life.

Military technology stormed the courtyard where he worked, and all the guards died, just like in previous corporate wars.

To capture the thief, first capture the king. If the king Saburo Arasaka cannot be captured, it is okay to capture Kyou Arasaka.

That night, on Arasaka Kei's Sea Serpent, the spider Murphy in kimono appeared behind him like a ghost, and she was accompanied by Roger and Saipan.

In 2023, these legends of Night City still belong to a team called Atlantis.

The purpose of their coming here is to attack Arasaka.

Spider Murphy explained his company, his family, and the reasons for his own failure——

The Japanese government betrayed them and stabbed them badly in the back.

"If you're a man, kill yourself like a samurai, at least it will get you an honorable death."

So Arasaka Takashi died.

The war finally stopped at the end of the year, but not because Saburo Arasaka lost his eldest son, but because of the situation of losing both sides, pressure from all over the world, backstabs and threats from the Japanese government, and a bright future.

Johnny Silverhand blew up Arasaka Tower in Night City, but that was only one of their many losses, nothing more.

Luo Qi felt that Johnny was putting gold on his face.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, a thick-skinned and narcissistic guy like this doesn't care.

The Japanese government took control of Arasaka's native assets and fully nationalized them, and the United States moved to end the global conflict.President Elizabeth Kress, former Military Tech chief, reactivated the committee that Military Tech CEO Donald Lundy worked with the administration.Under Lundy's command, the military technology unit ceased all active offensive operations, even though Lundy was not satisfied with the decision.

The global war is over.

However, Arasaka's facilities and agents are still everywhere, especially in the United States, and President Kress' greatest wish is to drive Arasaka out of North America and feed the fish in the sea.

This is another beginning of endless disputes between Arasaka and military technology in the next few decades.

Do you think that the fourth corporate war, which was comparable to the scale of the world war, severely damaged the vitality of these two companies and never recovered?

No, they just punched each other with eight punches, and then stepped back with bruises and dizziness, staring at each other.

Military technology is undoubtedly the enemy of Arasaka, but the Japanese government that stabbed himself in the back and made Saburo Arasaka grow old and lose his son is also Arasaka's enemy.

It's no wonder those Asuka faction guys are wholeheartedly fighting against Arasaka.

This is simply a deadly feud that cannot be reconciled.

Even if Saburo Arasaka died, the past history would not disappear.

In the 1990s, Arasaka almost completely controlled the Japanese government, and 60% of the members of the Diet were politicians bought by Arasaka.

But it didn't last long, as many other large Japanese corporations resented Arasaka's control of the country.

Among them are companies with other competing positions, and there are also old-fashioned companies of the Asuka Royalist Party.

These Japanese companies, large and small, united and played the bullshit banner of FACS (Far East Asia Co-Prosperity Circle) to fight against Arasaka.

Many politicians who supported Arasaka were arrested for one reason or another.

In the next few decades, FACS continued to destroy Arasaka's Wang Tu hegemony.

They were the ones who stabbed Kei Arasaka's house with the knife.

Therefore, after the fourth corporate war, Saburo Arasaka turned his gun without hesitation, and began to kidnap and murder the family members of his enemies on a large scale and in a planned way, including children and elders.

The fourth corporate war not only broke the world economy, but also broke down the stable operation of the Japanese government.

Although Arasaka suffered internal injuries due to blood loss, he was still able to deal with these enemies.

Because they still hold one of the largest armed forces in the world.

Most importantly, most of Arasaka's assets are still in their hands.

Although overtly and secretly, Arasaka and Japanese capital are hammering each other, but in fact, including murder, they all belong to the category of petty fighting.

2024 year to 2035 years.

The 11 years after the war were 11 years of stagnation in technology and development.

Arasaka is trapped in the Japanese mainland, military technology is busy fighting in North America, and the capitals of various countries are half dead, and they are devastated by the economic and environmental crises brought about by the war.

It will take more than ten years for human society to recover from the haze of war.

And in the few years just after the war, peace was even more of a luxury for many areas——

Riots and rebellions still rage in the world.

Countries in South America are still in political turmoil, and countries in Europe and Asia are struggling to bring companies that survived the war under their control and to restore normal economic and social order.In doing so, one is to restore global trade as soon as possible, and the other is to re-establish government authority.

After the nuclear bomb was blown up in Night City, people began to stay away from Company Square, including the northern industrial area, Charter Hill, Pacific Island, Coronado Farm, and even the suburban residents outside the city. Many of them migrated out at that time, and their descendants followed suit. He settled here.

Military Technology declared that this was all Arasaka's evil, and then robbed all of Arasaka's assets, including those that were not in the NUSA territory at all, and wanted to reach out.But soon, people got another saying——

It is a nuclear bomb provided by military technology.

But military technology doesn't care about people's opinion. Anyway, Night City is not the territory of NUSA, not to mention that President Kress is a fully qualified businessman, and she has no heart for her promise to rebuild Night City.

Who cares about a bombed-out city?Even if it was once very rich?

The old network was also completely declared GG under the occupation of viruses and rebel AIs. The network surveillance could not stand it anymore, so it mobilized all forces to build a "black wall", and changed from trying to regain the position of the old network to a defensive posture.

After 2035, the situation starts to improve.

The next 35 years were a period of slow recovery for countries and companies around the world.

As the rebuilding of trade routes was completed, cities began to regenerate.

Damaged infrastructure was repaired and technology began to become popular again.

There is no way, a great war has caused the whole world to go backwards, and many poor people hardly see any advanced technology in their lives.

In North America, many cities that were abandoned during the 1990-2016 collapse have been rebuilt.Aided by governments and corporations, these cities were repopulated with large numbers of settled populations from the war's surge of homeless people.

Many companies saw this as a great opportunity to quell the negative post-war public opinion and rebuild their cultural influence.

Simply put, reshuffle the deck and start over.

Night City, on the other hand, is a bit strange.

After being abandoned by the NUSA government headed by President Kress, the citizens joined forces with homeless people and small companies to rebuild Night City.

The mainstream public opinion at that time believed that the NUSA government used Arasaka as a scapegoat for the nuclear explosion in Night City, and this move made other companies have more desire for hegemony.

The consensus at the time was that Asian security giants would rather return than submit to the rule of the new Commonwealth of America.

Even military technology did not expect such a showy operation.

On the other side of the Atlantic, the environment in Europe is not friendly to the giants of the old era.

These established companies, which were severely damaged in the war, now have to compete with the upstarts backed by European governments. A war without gunpowder has quietly started. The scene of the great empires fighting each other at the beginning of the 20th century seems to have reappeared.

In Asia, Arasaka, which had suffered a disastrous defeat, was able to face everything with its head held high after reform and reconstruction.

They use a considerable part of their assets for war reparations.

While some lucrative contracts could quickly return them to leadership in the arms manufacturing and security industries, previous setbacks still carry weight.

So Saburo Arasaka had to deal with opposition within the company, and a secret civil war was brewing until 2077.

And new individual, isolated local area networks are finally beginning to emerge—mainly controlled intranets.

The few connections between users are also carefully controlled and closely monitored by cyberwatch, though their powers are clearly limited in Europe and Oceania, which also have their own cybersecurity departments.Of course, some weaker countries have to choose to rebuild their domestic network environment with the help and monitoring of network surveillance.

The establishment of the local area network can only be said to be mixed.

The bad news is that the new network has low availability to public users and is constantly monitored.

The good news is that cyber hackers and hostility outside the black wall are also harder to penetrate.

And who will know what will happen tomorrow?

Chapter 180 1994, 2023, 2045, 2077

"I haven't seen you for some days, I thought I was locked in the prison of the violent terrorist mobile team."

Roger's way of greeting is still so special.

"The violent terrorist mobile team does not have a prison."

Luo Qi sat down, put himself on the sofa, and stretched comfortably.

There really isn't such a facility in RTF, as they almost never arrest criminals.

Instead, he was killed on the spot.

If need be, they give some special targets a little special treatment - they are bound like rice dumplings with superalloys comparable to tank armor, and it is absolutely impossible to break free unless they are the Hulk.

Most of the irritable old men prefer a simple and rude solution.

One punch down directly knocks him out, and when he wakes up, he punches again.

Portable specific anesthetics are also a welcome option.

As for the human rights treatment of violent terrorist criminals.

Even NUSA, the successor of the former "Lighthouse Country", doesn't pay attention to these things anymore. How can we expect the murderous demon kings of the Terrorist Mobile Team to treat each other with tenderness?

Luo Qi gradually got used to this style, so his words and deeds became more vigorous, simple and rude.

"Let's get straight to the point." Luo Qi looked into Rogge's eyes and said directly, "Is the news you said reliable?"

Then he saw Roger staring straight at himself.

"Sorry, my fault."

Luo Qi quickly surrendered.

He habitually questioned the reliability of the news, but forgot that she was Rogge.

The information that can be held by her is almost sure, even if it is not reliable, she will point it out.

Therefore, a phenomenon can often be seen among many intelligence dealers.

The customer went to the seller to buy a piece of information, and after a while, the customer came back to ask the mercenary businessman for his life.

Not all false information can be sold as true information, otherwise the middleman will not wipe your ass for you.

Therefore, many people will choose to sell the information to a middleman. From then on, this information has nothing to do with them, and they only need to ensure that it will not be leaked to the other party.Although the money earned is less, and the middleman may not be able to accept it, it still reduces the risk of being found and retaliated against.

Luo Qi took out the chip and was about to pay.

"Wait a minute, I haven't finished talking yet."
