Cyberpunk: Legendary Life - Chapter 219
c215 you wanna die
Company Square.
As Yorinobu Arasaka arrived at the scene, the press conference officially began.
The invited guests also calmed down, put on special glasses in cooperation, looked towards the center of the disk, and prepared to immerse themselves in watching this high-profile product launch.
The conference site is divided into three major areas.
The glass mirror screen in the center of the disk is the holographic projection explanation area, and detailed data such as product appearance, parameter performance, etc. will be enlarged and restored in proportion.
There is a physical exhibition area set up on the edge of the glass mirror curtain, and the silver suitcase containing the physical product is placed on the pedestal, waiting quietly for the unveiling.
Outside the cordon of the exhibition area, there is a designated audience area. Invited guests gather here and can visit the physical product up close after watching the product launch explanation.
The guests invited to this massive product launch conference in Arasaka were all celebrities from the upper echelons of society, and the security and confidentiality work was extremely strict.
Everyone present held their breath and had been looking forward to this conference for a long time. They were very curious about what kind of surprise this newly released product developed by Arasaka Company would bring to them.
The keynote speaker, Anderson Herman, came to the product display area in the exhibition area, and the audience’s eyes moved accordingly. The Relic biochip, which was about to be released to the world, was stored in a sterile vacuum thermostatic safe.
“Soul, the eternal topic of mankind.”
As the opening remarks rang in the ears, the sky spread out and enveloped the entire company square. In an instant, everyone was brought into the boundless starry sky and fantasy sea, like a dream.
“We had hoped that after our relatives, friends, and companions left us, they would still accompany us in the starry night sky.”
Following his words, the stars lit up one by one, gathering around everyone, quietly surrounding them, floating in the mid-air, flickering.
“Some people say that the soul is our thoughts, while others say that the soul is our consciousness and our feelings.”
“But what I want to say today is that the soul may be an algorithm, a program, a line of data, a string of codes, symbols, and binary systems.”
“Actually, the soul is also a number.”
Countless stars flickered faintly, flying lightly like a swarm of fireflies, flowing and overflowing, and finally converged in the same direction, condensing into a pattern logo – the Arasaka emblem.
“Arasaka officially launches a new generation of digital soul product-relic biochip.”
“With this product, the soul is no longer an illusory thought, but an object that can actually be seen, heard, and even communicated with.”
“This means that when our loved ones, friends, companions, and lovers leave us, we can meet them in another way.”
“Even you can save your soul digitally and start a new life again.”
The words just fell.
All the guests looked up at the stars and couldn’t help but marvel.
“Oh my god! Is this the latest developed digital soul technology?”
“The relic biochip is a product that can carry the soul. With this chip, you have the key to the eternal soul. It’s really amazing!”
“Being able to develop such a special product, Arasaka may rise again this time. If it is successfully launched, I will definitely buy this product and service.”
One or two sporadic applause began to appear in the crowd, and then the whole place erupted into waves of clapping and applause, cheering enthusiastically for Arasaka’s epoch-making product.
Looking down from the company square, there is nothing special about the disk. You can only see the crowd looking at the disk screen with enthusiastic and excited expressions.
Tang Yu held the wine glass and calmly watched everything in front of him. It was completely expected that the relic biochip caused such a fanatical response.
Immortal technology is what everyone with vested privileged interests desires.
Meredith, who was standing nearby, was also secretly shocked. She didn’t expect that Arasaka’s latest product was a Relic biochip.
Military Technology has already mastered some information about this technology, but due to the high level of Arasaka’s confidentiality measures, it has been unable to obtain key information.
Today, Arasaka announced it openly. Is it really successful?
Meredith realizes that if this chip is successfully developed, Arasaka will truly rule the entire high-level human soul, and his control over the world will reach an unprecedented peak.
She put away her smile, looked solemn, and asked seriously: “This product originated from the soul killer program, is it really successful?”
If the relic chip is really as described in the press conference, then Saburo Arasaka can continue to rule Arasaka Company in the state of digital soul.
Meredith felt that Arasaka Yorinobu was unlikely to let this happen, and that this conference had other intentions.
Tang Yu just replied calmly: “Soon.”
soon.
The performance parameters of the relic biochip have also been announced.
[RELIC 2.0 prototype specifications]
【public】
[License level: P0]
[Project Supervision: Anders Herrmann]
[Basic algorithm: “Soul Killer” v.2.311.8-B, RELIC 1.0 “Guard your soul”]
【Test evaluation】
The prototype biochip version 2.0 is not only used to store digital imprints that enable basic communication, but is also an enhanced personality consciousness with independent functions, and can be re-implanted into a new organic host.
RELIC 2.0’s improved personality consciousness can retain most of the subject’s cognitive and (virtual) motor functions
Arasaka Yorinobu stood not far away with his arms folded. Seeing the enthusiastic reaction of everyone at the scene, he felt that this plan to cause a counterattack was becoming more and more likely to be realized.
Once the dignitaries who participated in this project accepted the Soul Killer program to upload their consciousness, it would be difficult for them to control subsequent events.
While everyone was marveling at Arasaka’s latest digital soul technology, Herman reminded him extremely seriously.
“Currently, the relic biochip has been developed to version 2.0. We have successfully digitized the uploading of consciousness, edited the conscious personality into a soul imprint, and loaded it into the biochip.”
“but”
Herman adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses with an anxious expression. He glanced at the location of Arasaka Yorinobu, looking very embarrassed.
Later, Herman found Tang Yu’s figure in the crowd again, seeking final confirmation.
Facing Herman’s pleading gaze, Tang Yu nodded firmly, indicating that he would make all the truth known to the public.
Tang Yu has already arranged an escape route for him. As long as the results are announced, he can leave the scene and immediately take the floating car to Kyoto.
Yori Xuan seemed to realize something. Adam Heavy Hammer behind him took two steps forward, and his scarlet prosthetic eyes locked onto Herman silently.
Tang Yu stepped through the crowd and stood between the two, with invisible arcs lingering on his fingertips.
Herman took a deep breath and made a decision.
He was betting that Saburo Arasaka would win this father-son duel. After all, Saburo Arasaka’s soul imprint was miraculously extracted while he was still alive.
“The prerequisite for activating the relic biochip is to terminate the host’s biological functions. Only when neural activity is completely and irreversibly stopped can the soul imprint be retained and take over to restart the body.”
“But in clinical trials, we have never succeeded in activating the basic functions of relic2.0 on dying subjects.”
The whole place changed color.
This reminder shows that if they participate in the digital soul service but cannot be re-covered into other more vivid bodies, they will become a digital ghost, trapped in a biochip forever, and imprisoned in a soul prison. There is no difference.
Arasaka Yorinobu’s expression remained unchanged, as if he was not surprised by Herman’s actions.
Just as the scene was in an uproar, a bigger movement outside the field caught their attention.
I saw a black amphibious armored vehicle rushing towards the viaduct highway channel of the fourth-level disc hub.
The armored vehicle’s speed did not slow down at all, and it went straight through the checkpoint, forcing the crowds who tried to block it to retreat to both sides, and knocked over the heavy machine guns set up.
The guards at the scene suddenly became nervous. Seeing the armored vehicle rushing into the disc base, they all picked up their guns and set off to intercept.
At this time.
Susan Abernathy was sitting in an armed float vehicle when she spotted movement in Company Plaza below.
As the commander-in-chief of Arasaka security, she immediately ordered Arasaka security personnel to maintain order on the scene.
At the same time, we communicated with NCPD, Military Technology and Kangtao, indicating that the armored vehicle was the product of Arasaka Company.
But following closely behind the amphibious armored vehicle was a huge mechanical figure.
Meredith stared.
“Prosthetic King Kong?”
This experimental prosthetic body developed by Arasaka is also a key project of military science and technology.
However, we have never had any specific information about the development of the prosthetic King Kong. We have only heard that this prosthetic body can make a person strong enough to fight an army. It was originally designed specifically for Adam’s Hammer.
Tang Yu was also attracted by the news outside the venue and found that David was loading the prosthetic King Kong and chasing the amphibious armored vehicle all the way, and he roughly guessed what was going on.
He had seen several top-secret prosthetics secretly developed by Arasaka in Saburo Arasaka’s office, including Big Ghost, King Kong, and an exoskeleton armored prosthetic body Thunder.
David’s huge mechanical figure went straight to the conference site. When he saw the amphibious armored vehicle rushing into the disc base, he wanted to intercept it.
But seeing so many security guards staring at him dumbfounded, he temporarily stopped outside the fourth-floor disc.
Susan Abernathy stepped on the aerodynamic engine pedal, led the Arasaka SWAT team, landed from the aerodynamic vehicle deck, and stood in front of David.
“David Martinez! The company square is under martial law. You should remove the prosthetic King Kong immediately and return to the ministry to be dealt with after the press conference is over.”
When David saw the old woman in front of him, she was malicious and wanted to take this opportunity to kill her. His eyes gradually turned cold.
What kind of promotion, field team leader, remote transportation?
It was this old woman who deliberately framed him, trying to kill him without anyone noticing and ruining his reputation in the company.
What makes David even more intolerable is that Susan Abernathy not only assassinated Tang Yu, but now also wants to assassinate Gloria.
A despicable bastard like this can still sit in a high position today and arrogantly despise everything.
David stared at her with eyes wide open, and anger filled his chest, making him unable to say a word. All he could think about was crushing this vicious cousin into pieces.
His eyes began to tremble, and the remaining sliver of reason was like a kite string that was about to break, making the final pull.
If Arasaka Special Operations Director is killed here, he will definitely face the most terrifying blow from Arasaka Company.
His mother, Tang Yu, and people related to him may not escape death.
When Susan Abernathy saw that the young boy dared to glare at her, she snorted from her nostrils and scolded him again.
“David, do you want to disobey the company?”
defy?
He was almost so angry that he laughed madly. Who was disobeying the company?
He just completed the delivery mission according to the instructions, but was assassinated by his superiors?
Can Susan Abernathy represent the company?
No, she is nothing!
David finally understood that if the old woman did not die today, no one would be in peace.
He suddenly sneered again and again and directly activated the high-pressure field, covering Susan Abernathy.
If you want to defy the company, let’s start with Susan Abernathy.
Seeing that David was ready to take action, the security personnel on the disk also became nervous and tightened their weapons.
Adam Hammer, who was standing on a high place, witnessed the whole process and just said expressionlessly.
“Industrial waste.”
“It should have been eliminated long ago.”
This prosthetic King Kong was tailor-made for him in his early years. The prosthetic module was too large and its functional strength could not meet his combat needs.
Later, after the development of the ‘Big Ghost’, the prosthetic King Kong was eliminated.
Due to the network collapse and the super-corporate war, part of the R&D data was lost on the old network, and the production line was destroyed by gunfire.
Adam’s Hammer is now nearly 96% cybernetic, and his entire body is made of Arasaka’s most advanced high-end combat implants.
Not only are the weapons well-equipped, but even the exterior styling has reached the pinnacle of industrial technological aesthetics.
In his opinion, the prosthetic King Kong is no different from scrap metal.
at this time.
Susan Abernathy’s expression suddenly changed, she had a premonition that the force field around her body had changed, and her consciousness was not good.
But it was too late to escape. Just when the heavy pressure was about to hit the ground from above her head, the force field that tightly wrapped her suddenly disappeared.
Her eyes trembled, and she looked at David in panic, and found that he had fainted at some point, and fell to the ground with his head hanging down, making a huge collision sound.
Tang Yu walked up to Susan Abernathy and asked calmly: “David Martinez, didn’t you escort the prosthetic King Kong and another piece of cargo to Arasaka Tower as you requested?”
“When you were hijacked and successfully delivered the goods back to the company, did you disobey the company or your instructions?”
“The secret operation that you personally approved is leaked, and the suspicion is not small. When the board of directors investigates, you have to think carefully about how to make it up.”
Faced with Tang Yu’s questioning, Susan Abernathy was speechless.
Tang Yu ignored her and just sent someone to send the fainted David to the Arasaka Tower R&D Department. This prosthetic King Kong was required by the R&D Department, so there was naturally a way to remove it.
And David not only successfully transported back the prosthetic King Kong and the amphibious armored vehicle, but also contributed a copy of the prosthetic King Kong’s operating data, which can be regarded as a great contribution.
But if Susan Abernathy was seriously injured here in front of everyone, David would be in a desperate situation.
so.
When Tang Yu saw David Martinez arriving at the scene and the gray life simulation option on his body lit up again, he decisively chose to perform a life simulation on him.
When David fainted, he used ‘weak electric energy control’ to cut off his connection with the prosthetic King Kong.
soon.
David was lifted by an armed aerial vehicle using a steel cable and carried into the Arasaka Tower building.
Susan Abernathy watched David leave, and when her eyes fell on Tang Yu’s back, a cold look flashed in her eyes, muttering to herself.
‘You can’t protect yourself today. ’
Tang Yu watched David enter Arasaka Tower safely, and then brought up the system panel.
Through the life simulation of David just now, I gained three life points and new talents.
【High Gravity Field】
This talent comes from the function of the prosthetic King Kong in David’s life simulation, which can change the gravity field within a certain range, making it stronger or weaker.
The pressure of the gravity field will also change with the size of the range. The more concentrated the force field is, the greater the pressure will be.
Tang Yu decisively added three life points to the natural high gravity field, upgrading its quality to rare.
【Life Points: 1】
[Fusion Ability 1: Tenacity (Epic)]
[Fusion Ability 2: Bullet Time (Rare)]
[Fusion Ability 3: Weak Electricity Control (Excellent)]
[Fusion Ability 4: High Gravity Field (Rare)]
Tang Yu is very satisfied with this talent, which makes up for his output and deficiencies on the physical level.
Although the talent for weak current control can better target cybernetic electronic transformation, it is more about breaking through the weaknesses of the circuit system at the subtle technical level.
Once a fierce battle occurs, it is difficult to have a chance to complete the invasion. On the contrary, it is not as simple and direct as a high gravity field.
Sudden.
There was a commotion at the press conference.
An unexpected incident just now interrupted the meeting. The audience stood at the edge of the disc fence to check the situation. They turned around when they heard the noise coming from behind.
They were surprised to find that many waiters and security personnel on site suddenly rushed to the visiting area like crazy, trying to snatch the safe containing the Relic biochip.
Adam Heavy Hammer moved forward instantly, holding the safe with one hand, and punched out with the other hand, blowing several heads off one after another, and blood splattered everywhere.
But there are still others with strange blue halos in their prosthetic eyes, regardless of the consequences, who continue to pounce on Adam’s Hammer.
boom!
With one shot, everyone who came towards him was blown into pieces.
The scene suddenly fell into confusion, everyone looked at each other and didn’t know what happened.
The on-site security personnel also looked confused. These waiters had all undergone full-body security checks when they came in. They suddenly behaved as if they were sick, which made them at a loss.
“Protect the personal safety of guests!”
Susan Abernathy urged, smiling triumphantly as she saw the bloody mess.
“There was something wrong with this press conference. Tang Yu, the head of the public relations department, was immediately put under control and suspended on the spot for investigation.”
Her orders were carried out quickly and without any hindrance.
A suspension notice popped up in front of Tang Yu’s eyes, and all his permissions in Arasaka Tower were blocked.
His eyes were indifferent, looking at Arasaka Yorinobu not far away, motionless.
Even though he had thought that this day would come, Tang Yu could not help but feel a little disturbed, like a stone suddenly falling into a calm lake.
It would have been impossible for Susan Abernathy to issue such an order and carry it out without the acquiescence of Arasaka Yorinobu.
He knows that everyone’s choices are different and their final path will be different.
The two looked at each other in silence.
Tang Yu was suddenly suspended at the scene, which immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding people.
Little Michiko received the notice immediately, and was immediately shocked. She quickly squeezed through the crowd and looked at Tang Yu in disbelief.
This time, he may really fall down. The conspiracies in this press conference are intertwined, and Tang Yu cannot be allowed to break free.
There was sudden chaos at the press conference, and all the blame would probably be placed on Tang Yu. Suspension and dismissal were considered minor, but if serious, he might even be fired.
As the company’s order was generated, the Arasaka Special Operations Department’s special service team surrounded them.
Tang Yu looked at Arasaka Yorinobu and finally said, “This is the path you chose, but it doesn’t work.”
The special service team gathered around Tang Yu, stopped and waited.
Arasaka Yorinobu said confidently: “How will you know if you don’t try?”
Tang Yu smiled.
“Because I tried.”
After saying that, he looked around and glanced at Arasaka Yorinobu, Adam Hammer, little Michiko, Aunt Mei and others.
“Who should I start with?”
His eyes finally locked on Susan Abernathy.
Susan Abernathy was a little frightened by Tang Yu’s gaze. She tried her best to hide her guilty conscience and shouted to the special service team: “Why don’t you do it quickly?!”
Tang Yu gave her a polite smile for the first time and gently raised his hand.
“goodbye.”
Snapped!
A crisp snap of fingers came from Tang Yu’s fingertips.
moment.
A medium-sized force field just circled Susan Abernathy, covering her firmly out of thin air.
Her eyes were wide open, and she had no idea what was going on. She only felt that her whole body was being squeezed and controlled by invisible forces, and it was extremely difficult to struggle and move.
This familiar situation was just like David activated the high-pressure field to envelope her just now.
Just as she was about to ask for help, she felt her head being pressed hard by an invisible force, completely penetrating her head from top to toe.
Poof!
Her whole body seemed to have been crushed by a giant object, and she disappeared instantly, turning into a pool of flesh and blood and scattered in all directions, steaming.
In an instant.
The whole place was silent!
Everyone was extremely horrified and looked at the scene that happened in front of them in disbelief.
what’s the situation?
There are no floats or installations above Susan Abernathy’s head.
What happened to this sudden high-pressure stance? How could it be squashed into paste in an instant?
Little Michiko covered her mouth in surprise and couldn’t say a word. She couldn’t believe that the force field just came from Tang Yu’s fingertips.
Who is Tang Yu?
This question is deeply imprinted in everyone’s mind.
Arasaka Yorinobu frowned suddenly and his pupils trembled slightly.
The strange situation in front of him was completely beyond his expectation, and the intelligence beforehand did not contain this key information at all.
Tang Yu was not an ordinary person from the beginning, and his trump cards were hidden too deep.
‘What is it for? You are definitely not the person who works for Saburo Arasaka.’
Adam Hammer carried the silver safe and returned behind Arasaka Yorinobu.
After seeing Tang Yu’s special method, his expressionless eyes immediately became a little more interesting.
“interesting.”
“You are better than other rotten meat.”
He asked what Arasaka Yorinobu meant.
“Do I need to erase him?”
Lai Xuan suppressed the shock and surprise in his heart, and said in a deep voice: “No, you take the safe and go back to Kanbi Building, there are people there who are doing some tricks.”
After getting instructions from Yori Xuan, Adam Heavy Hammer looked directly at Tang Yu and sneered: “I hope you don’t die too soon.”
Just as he turned around and prepared to board the floating car to leave, he suddenly found that his footsteps sank and the ground immediately sank an inch.
He supported his body strongly to prevent himself from falling, and turned his neck with difficulty to look back at Tang Yu.
“you wanna die”
None tonight!
