Cyberpunk: 2075.

Chapter 522 135. Code
"Bah—"

Accompanied by the unique gunshots of kinetic weapons emitted by King Kong, a member of the Tiger Claw Gang who was sitting in front of the desk in a suit was unable to even put up the slightest resistance and died on the cushioned chair behind the desk.

"Woohoo—clean and neat."

Oliver watched the members of the Tiger Claws fall down, blew a whistle, and praised Arasakase Nobuyuki who slowly put down King Kong: "I didn't feel your shooting skills when I saw it in the virtual world, but now it's really good. You didn't miss a single shot. You can win a championship in a shooting competition at an ordinary weapon store."

"Still a long way to go."

Arasakaze Nobuo smiled, and a curve appeared on his young and handsome face: "I haven't reached your level yet. Compared with your speed and accuracy, I am still a little slower."

"What? You sound modest, but the corners of your mouth are already curled up."

Oliver complained and noticed Carl walking towards the dead Tiger Claw member in a suit, then watched him take out a single molecule wire and connect it to the laptop on the Tiger Claw member's desk.

"Drip-drip-"

Amidst a series of data noises, Carl quickly searched for all the information and records in the computer. With his current computing power, he was able to analyze the computer in a short time, and even cracked the files in some secret folders.

After recording some information related to the sale of illegal drugs and sending it to Andy, and ignoring a pile of pornographic videos stacked in multiple folders, Carl found what he wanted.

"Come and take a look."

Carl said, turning the laptop around so that the others in the room could see what was displayed on the screen.

They were currently in an apartment on Japan Street, or more precisely, in an apartment where the Suit Tiger Claw Gang lived.

There were twelve people in total, including the guards and the Tiger Claw Gang. As they were unable to put up any resistance, they all lay on the ground. This prevented the Tiger Claw Gang from deleting some key information in time, leaving the content exposed to Carl and the others without any cover.

"Didn't he delete the information as soon as he read it? It seems he has regressed."

Arasakase Nobuo didn't expect that Carl actually found the file: "I thought we would have to let my people take over later and restore the deleted data."

"I don't need your people. Even if he deleted it, I can restore it on the spot. But I think it's more of a decline than a decline in personnel."

Carl looked at the dead Tiger Claw Gang in suits, and the other party's information appeared in his mind: "It seems that his past personnel have more or less had some conflicts with me. I cleared them out batch by batch, and I can't replenish them."

According to the information Carl had seen, this Tiger Claw member had just arrived in Night City from Japan a few months ago. Thanks to the recommendation of some Tiger Claw gang insiders, he quickly took a high position. This speed of promotion not only shows that he is indeed Saburo Arasaka's man, but also shows one thing, that is, Saburo Arasaka has few people available in America.

Come to think of it, Carl seems to have often had conflicts with Saburo Arasaka's men since he took the job. In the past, he helped Haruko and Mr. Kenichi Shiro do a lot of things, and now he has dealt with 65 members of the Tiger Claw Gang because of Arasaka Nobuyuki. It would be strange if Saburo Arasaka's men could still jump out one after another out of thin air.

The Arasaka in North America, after all, the master they are loyal to is called Arasaka Michiko. The original batch of personnel transferred from South America and Central America were suppressed by factions and almost killed by Carl himself. If Saburo Arasaka needs more people, he can only send people from mainland Japan.

Saburo Arasaka is the one who has the final say and has the most loyal followers among all members of the Arasaka clan, but the power he controls is limited.

Back then, because he wanted to train his successor, Takashi Arasaka, he handed over full power over America to him and was even about to semi-retire. However, Takashi Arasaka died unexpectedly in the fall of Arasaka Tower at the end of the corporate war, and his homeland was also hit by another Japanese corporate coalition government. He was unable to take care of himself in his homeland, so how could he take care of America?

After stabilizing his homeland, when Saburo Arasaka wanted to reach out to America again, Michiko Arasaka had already reached a certain reconciliation with Military Technology and came to power. Arasaka in America had a new master, and it was no longer so easy for Saburo Arasaka to reach out to the North American territory that was closer to Military Technology.

This is something that can be easily understood by comparing it with the Tiger Claw Gang.

The leader of the Tiger Claw Gang gave his heir a piece of territory. Later, an accident happened and the heir died. The heir's subordinates took over. Whether they should still listen to him as the boss is another matter.

There is no such thing as gentle compromise in the struggle in Tiger Claw (Arasaka).

"Arasaka Saburo." V also silently recited the name. He had no feelings towards this person whose status had already stood at the top of the world, but the waves of people sent by the other party had obviously affected V and his team.

"If it's an enemy."

Even if it was the president, even if it was the head of a company at the pinnacle of power, V would not be afraid at all.

With this thought in mind, V followed several other companions and went over to see what was displayed on the computer. What he saw was a bunch of dots and horizontal lines.

The Tiger Claw Gang member in a suit did not delete the order from Japan, but the order itself was encrypted. Just by looking at it with V's eyes, he had no idea what secrets were hidden in the garbled code.

"Something wrong with the file?"

V questioned.

"No, this is the document."

Jack understood a little: "Do you need a special decoder?"

"Anyone can think of that kind of thing."

Oliver speculated: "Maybe some kind of program is needed to access the file to display the real content, Carl, have you seen any strange programs?"

"No, but I think it can be cracked."

Carl glanced at Arasakase Nobuyuki and found that after frowning and looking at the garbled code for a few times, his brows relaxed. It was obvious that he had figured out how to decipher these messy symbols.

"This is a code symbol."

Arasakaze Nobuo said, his eyes quickly scanning the symbols as he said, "And this encryption method is the Purple Code."

"Purple Secret, what is that?"

Oliver obviously hadn't heard of this.

"Purple Code, Black Code"

Carl whispered: "Those are the two codes used in the Japanese diplomatic secret code system during World War II. Purple Code is an encryption method with a much higher security protection level than Black Code."

"It's that old antique who likes to reminisce about the past the most."

Arasakase Nobuo finished reading the symbols and said: "Today, it is a secret that can be easily deciphered if you know it."

"What is the secret?"

Oliver asked curiously.

"Control Sei Xuan and wait for me to arrive."

Arasakaze Nobuo said calmly.
