Chapter 228 87. Arasaka Tower
Arasaka Tower.
Only when Carl actually stood at its feet and looked up at it could he understand the feeling of oppression.
The building reached into the sky, overlooking the entire Night City. At the very top, the Arasaka logo stood above everything.
Carl looked at the Arasaka logo, turned around and looked at the building opposite the Arasaka Tower.
That is also a building that towers into the sky, and all the signs on the building that is "diametrically opposed" to Arasaka Tower are.
Military technology.
The two giants in Night City.
Carl was stopped by a security guard in Arasaka uniform when he was still two hundred meters away from Arasaka Tower. On this day when most participants of the Arasaka Conference arrived by floating cars, some senior officials who were worried about the safety of the floating cars came by ordinary vehicles. It was the responsibility of these security guards today to screen the authenticity of the ground personnel and ensure the safety of those senior officials. They would not let outsiders get close to Arasaka Tower today.
If, like what happened in 2023, a madman with a bomb shows up and yesterday happens again, Arasaka's power in America will be in big trouble.
“Please stop.”
The Arasaka personnel were familiar with Carl's face, which had already spread throughout the security circle. When the person in charge of the inspection walked up with his weapon with the safety off, a little nervous, the other personnel had already aimed their guns at Carl.
KK is now a well-known mercenary in Night City. Although he did not come with his team, he alone is enough to threaten the company's security. They have to first determine the other party's intentions.
Carl listened to what the Arasaka personnel said and stopped obediently.
He is here to carry out an escort mission today, not to break into Arasaka Tower, so he should just follow the rules and procedures.
When the Arasaka security guard in charge of the inspection saw Carl stop and nodded at him, he was obviously relieved.
Fortunately, Carl didn’t seem to be here to cause trouble, otherwise, if other people didn’t know today, he would probably have died here.
The Arasaka security personnel first performed a basic scan on Carl. After confirming that he was not carrying anything large under his clothes, they motioned for Carl to wait and began to report to their superiors.
"Mercenary KK appears outside the cordon at the door. Guard 4752 has made contact with him. Please issue instructions."
"Zizzi."
Amid the tiny sound of electricity after the communication was connected, the security supervisor issued instructions:
"Mercenary KK? Please ask him to wait. We have informed you that there will be mercenaries coming today. Let me see if KK is on the list and has his identity been confirmed?"
The security guard listened to his boss' words on the line. His specially adjusted artificial eye scanned Carl again, and then replied on the line: "The appearance and features have been confirmed, but the possibility of disguise cannot be ruled out. The necessary access inspection must be carried out."
"It's confirmed after the access check. His name is on the list of trusted outsiders this time. Let him in. I'll do another check on him at the second line of defense."
"Yes."
After receiving permission from his superior to pass, the security officer in charge of communication immediately made way for Carl and signaled that he could pass.
It's really nice that I don't have to deal with this kind of conversation with mercenary KK myself.
After Carl took a look at the person who let him go, he continued to look at the crowd passing by outside. The security guard who didn't look at him said nothing and walked through the path he made way for.
After walking a hundred meters, three people wearing Arasaka's black and red suits came over.
“Please confirm your identity again.” Their tone was quite polite, but in action, the three of them had formed a triangle to surround Carl in the middle. This way, even if Carl wanted to suddenly attack and attack someone at one angle, the people at the other two angles could also attack at the same time.
“Is there anything I need to confirm?”
Karl looked at the man in the suit in front of him, but he didn’t mind their guarded actions: “Second scan?”
"No, we have special equipment."
The suit-wearing person facing Karl took out a device that looked a bit like the fingerprint lock in Karl’s memory and placed it in front of Karl: “You just need to press your fingerprint to confirm.”
"Can't fingerprints be faked?"
"That's true."
The suited man stared at Carl and said, "This is specially prepared for you because your arm prosthesis has been specially adjusted. Only the arm is modified, and no matching model is required. It is also unique within the company. We just need to confirm that the finger information matches the collected intelligence."
It turned out to be the case.
When Lao Wei checked Carl's arm and confirmed that there was no backdoor left in it, Carl was surprised. Even for a prosthetic arm, it is difficult to leave some control backdoors, and they can be easily removed. However, it is unreasonable for the company not to keep one to collect data on things like usage feedback. Is it because his arm was specially made?
"So, your investment in me started from that time?"
Karl's mind changed, but his fingers were on the device held in the hands of the suit man.
"Confirming identity, please wait."
Amid the electronic sounds emitted by the device, Carl watched his fingers create ripples on the water-wave-like surface of the device.
Carl didn't press it for long. From the time Carl touched it to the time the suited man signaled Carl to move away, only two seconds had passed, and the model of the prosthesis had been confirmed.
"Prosthetic name 'KK', model confirmed."
The suited man bowed and stepped back: "Welcome, Mr. Kenichi Shiro, whom you are to protect, is already waiting on the first floor."
The bodyguard Kenichi Shiro-san?
Karl listened to the words of the suited man, with surprise in his eyes.
Who to protect?
Me, the guard, Mr. Kenichi Shiro?
Is this true or false?
But the next moment, Carl also figured it out.
Haruko already has a bodyguard, Chiyome. It is obviously not appropriate to bring too many bodyguards to a high-level meeting, so since Haruko's bodyguard position is occupied, my identity can only be Mr. Kenichi Shiro's bodyguard.
After all, no matter how strong Mr. Kenichi Shiro is, he is indeed a high-ranking member of Arasaka, so it is reasonable for him to have a bodyguard.
It's just the feeling.
Carl took a step.
'There's always a strange sense of absurdity.'
If someone really wanted to assassinate Mr. Kenichi Shiro, after breaking through himself, he thought he could easily take down Mr. Kenichi Shiro, but he found out that Mr. Kenichi Shiro activated the Sian Westin
That kind of scene should be very interesting.
