The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 212 An unexpected visitor in Night City
Most of the rumors in Night City are true, especially the horrifying ones.

For example, it is rumored that the secret of eternal life is hidden beneath Arasaka Tower.

And the facts are not far from the rumors.

In the underground area of ​​​​Arasaka Tower, there is the most heavily guarded data fortress in the company, called 'Mikoshi', which contains the digital personality backup of the customers of the [Guard Your Soul] project.

As well as a large number of victims of the Relic project and hackers who were captured trying to break into the Arasaka network.

For the sake of safety and public opinion, Arasaka never disclosed any information about the project.

The physical location of the mikoshi and its access points distributed throughout Cyber ​​Technology are strictly confidential, and even few people within Arasaka know of its existence.

Even Arasaka Yorinobu, who was about to become the company's leader, knew little about it.

"Mikoshi. The name sounds like my father's handwriting."

After listening to Li Ang's explanation, Yori Xuan can basically conclude that the backup of Saburo Arasaka's personality is hidden in the mikoshi. Now he only needs to consider whether to find the backup and erase it alone, or destroy the entire mikoshi.

But there are many innocent people's data in the shrine. If all are erased, what is the difference between him and his father who regards human life as nothing?
When Lai Xuan was weighing the matter, Li Ang gave him a heads up.

"If your father wants to be resurrected by Relic technology, he must choose a suitable body that can allow him to regain power immediately."

There is no need to say the words too clearly, Arasaka Yorinobu already knows the meaning.

He is the best candidate.

The only male of the Arasaka clan, he has the highest succession order in the family; he is related by blood, and his data consciousness and body can be better integrated, minimizing rejection reactions; he will have the least impact on the company, shortening the period of power turmoil.

In addition, Arasaka Yorinobu also realized that the reason why Saburo Arasaka did not kill him was probably not because of the father-son relationship or the pleading of his sister Hanako, but because the old guy had already been targeting him. his body.

Thinking of this, Yori Xuan's last trace of guilt for impulsively killing his father that day completely dissipated.

"I will find someone to investigate the matter of the god. You don't have to worry about it for now. Just find a way to deal with him. He just heard too much that he shouldn't have heard."

This him, of course, refers to Herman.

"Lord Yorinobu! Spare your life!"

As soon as Herman heard that he was going to be dealt with, he immediately knelt on the ground and cried for mercy.

Arasaka Yorinobu had no time to pay attention to him and closed his eyes to think about the mikoshi and his father.

Seeing this, Herman had no choice but to look at the man on the sofa for help.

Li Ang stood up slowly: "I need a deputy who understands technology to control the technology research and development department."

Arasaka Yorinobu understood that he was trying to protect Herman, and rubbed his brows irritably.

But in the end he just said: "Watch his mouth."

Li Ang pulled up the project director who was reduced to a puddle of mud: "Why don't you thank Mr. Lai Xuan for not killing me?"

Herman was about to speak, but was interrupted by Arasaka Yorinobu waving his hand:

"No need, you can go out first."

"By the way, Angjun, don't leave the company before tomorrow night, wait for my news."

"Okay." Li Ang responded and left the president's office with the frightened Herman.

"Scanning."

"Identity information authentication passed."

"Welcome back, Mr. Li Ang."

"You have had no new visitors in the last two working days."

Li Ang strode into his office, and Herman followed closely.

The latter has not yet regained his status as an employee of Arasaka Company, so he can only follow him temporarily.

"Find a place to sit by yourself and get what you want to drink."

After hearing this, Herman immediately trotted to the wine cabinet in the rest area and poured himself a glass.

He had just walked through the gate of hell, and now his legs were weak and he needed to drink some wine to calm down his shock.

His throat twitched, and strong liquor entered his throat.

Herman, who finally relaxed, let out a long sigh of relief.

But when he saw Li Ang's half-smiling eyes behind the desk, he suddenly became nervous again.

He hurriedly put down the cup in his hand and asked with a nervous expression: "Sir, would you like a drink?"

"No need." Li Ang turned the leather chair under him and faced the floor-to-ceiling window: "I just want to ask, do you remember clearly what you just told me?"

Herman immediately sat down and said: "Enter the R&D department and get the technology you need!"

Then, he said with an embarrassed look: "But Mr. Yori Xuan's side"

Li Ang replied calmly: "Don't worry about him, just do your own thing."

"That's good, that's good." After receiving the assurance, Herman breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked tentatively: "Can I take a break? From yesterday to now, I haven't."

Seeing that he looked tired and listless, Li Ang simply asked the front desk of the Security Department to find an empty office and let him take a nap.

By the time Herman was sent away, it was almost noon.

Li Ang looked at the floating cars coming and going outside the window, and then looked at the time on his phone.

What time is it? Is Ms. V still awake?

I found her number and dialed it, but the caller hung up after a few rings.

Then, the phone received a text message from V:
[Stay away from me from now on, disgusting company dog! ]
Li Ang raised his eyebrows. Which kind person exposed his identity?

But he didn't take it seriously. It was normal for him to be confused and nervous after a hangover.

I originally wanted to invite V to visit the Wild Soul Festival tomorrow night, but now it seems that this is enough.

After thinking about it, Li Ang put away his phone and turned on the sensor holographic screen on his desk, intending to see if there was any interesting news happening inside Arasaka in the past few days.
Time flies by like a flash, and the next day comes in a blink of an eye.

[Hua Zi is here, get ready and come to me. ]
After taking a look at the email sent by Arasaka Yorinobu, Li Ang got up and went to the president's office.

When they arrived at the place, Arasaka Hanako's bodyguard Oda Santao was arguing with Arasaka Yorinobu, but she herself sat beside him without saying a word.Oda: "Master Yorinobu, I disagree with your decision. The festival site is a mixed bag of good and bad, which does not meet our security standards at all. What you did is simply deliberately putting your sister in danger!"

Arasaka Yorinobu was unmoved and said seriously: "Everything is for my father."

"As Huazi's bodyguard, what you should consider most is how to protect her, instead of questioning my decision!"

"Or do you want to betray Arasaka like your teacher?"

"Nissan." Hanako Arasaka stopped her brother from continuing: "Oda will not betray me, let alone Arasaka."

Later, the brother and sister began to communicate in Japanese.

Xiaotian couldn't get a word in, so he turned his attention and looked at Li Angzai at the door carefully.

Li Ang gave him a polite smile.

The well-trained cyber ninja still had a cold face and did not respond.

After a while, the exchange between the brother and sister ended with Hua Zi's words, 'For my father'.

Arasaka Yorinobu enthusiastically introduced Li Ang to his sister: "This is Ang Jun, my most capable subordinate. He and Oda will ensure your safety tonight. There will be no problems, I promise."

Hua Zi nodded towards Li Ang, his attitude was neither good nor bad, neither far nor near.

Although she lives in the family mansion in Tokyo all year round, thanks to her fairly good hacking skills, she also knows a little bit about the tall and handsome man in front of her.

When their friend and ally Shintaro Takayama (Director of the Security Department) came to visit the mansion, the two even talked about him.

A top hitter who is not inferior to Adam Hammer, there is not much information, and he is a bit mysterious.

But that's all.

Shintaro Takayama means that it needs to be taken seriously, but it does not need to be taken too seriously.

When the wheels of power and money roll over, no matter how powerful a thug is, he will have to succumb.

Hanako Arasaka shares the same opinion as her friend. As a core member of Arasaka Company, she is very aware of how much influence the company has on an ordinary person.

Looking away from Li Ang, Hua Zi asked: "Brother, when will father's memorial service start?"

"Right away." Arasaka Yorinobu stood up from the chair: "I will take you there now."

Hua Zi, who always maintained elegance, followed his brother to the venue with a light step, and Oda followed closely behind.

Before leaving, Arasaka Yorinobu patted Li Ang on the shoulder: "The festival ceremony is already being prepared over in Japan Street. You can go and take a look first to prevent anything from going wrong."

"My sister will be left to you tonight, don't let me down."

There was something in his words, but he actually wanted Li Ang to step on it first.

Arasaka Hanako never thought that her brother would find someone to kidnap her, and she politely expressed her gratitude: "Thank you for your hard work, Li Angsang."

Xiaotian behind her was full of doubts and made no secret of his distrust.

Li Ang imitated Takemura's foolish and loyal attitude and promised: "Mr. Lai Xuan, please rest assured, I will never let anyone find Miss Hanako."

Arasaka Yorinobu showed a satisfied expression and immediately took his sister away.

Li Ang didn't stay in the president's office for long. He went directly to the underground parking lot and then drove to Japan Street in Westbrook District.

In the eyes of most Night City residents, Westbrook is definitely the most livable and suitable place for enjoyment, and is a completely wealthy area.

NCPD lists the danger level in this area as: very low.

Although the Tiger Claw Gang often appears, due to their relationship with the Arasaka Company, they do not pose a serious threat to the residents or tourists here.

The Japanese Street located in it is the entertainment center of the entire Night City. No matter day or night, there is an endless stream of people.

Li Ang came back once and went to Twisted Street to rescue Evelin.

But at that time, I went straight to my destination and basically didn’t go around much.

This time I felt the charm of this place thoroughly.

Since there is a large-scale event in the evening, many people who love to join in the fun have already arrived in advance.

The streets full of bars, restaurants, and clubs are bustling with people. The sky is filled with red and white lanterns and ribbons. The vendors are arranging their postures, just waiting for the carnival to come.

Li Ang parked the car and walked through the busy streets.

Arasaka's plainclothes security guards were already in place, hiding among tourists and roadside vendors. There were also many snipers and gun-toting agents hidden in the buildings on both sides.

It is worth mentioning that the person in charge of security for tonight's festival is Adam Hammer, who has just returned to the factory for repairs.

So Li Ang deliberately used the internal channel of the Security Department to call him.

"Wai, old friend, why didn't you tell me when you came back?"

"I'm tired of shopping, can you please invite me to your place for a drink?"

Adam Hammer replied in his gloomy voice: "You can come if you want, no one will stop you."

After saying that, he unilaterally cut off the call.

There was obviously something wrong with his attitude and it was so rude. Li Ang decided that he had to have a good chat with him.

After familiarizing himself with the route of the float parade, he immediately went to the temporary location of the Security Department in Japan Street.

However, when passing by a street game arcade, Li Ang suddenly stopped.

In front of an arcade game called "Carrot Run" in Taiwan, he saw an inexplicably familiar figure from behind.

She is a female with long white hair and a good figure. She is wearing a trendy jacket with a big wolf head printed on it.

There was a constant flow of people around her, but she was completely unaffected and concentrated on playing the arcade machine.

There seems to be a strange sense of detachment from the world in which he lives.

Li Ang slowly leaned over and asked tentatively:
"Ciri?"

　I've been working overtime a lot these days, and it was the same yesterday. I finished work after [-] o'clock, so I forgot to tell everyone. I'm really sorry.

　　To express my apologies, I will start adding more updates tomorrow~
