Endless Battlefield: Starting from Night City to Create a Vest

"Okay, don't resist, Miss Hanako. Don't worry, even though you've become like that, you're still alive, and your father, Arasaka Saburo, will continue to live using his son's body."

Y said it indifferently.

"No! You can't take advantage of my identity." Arasaka Hanako's eyes were cold.

There were streams of data flashing in Yi's eyes.

In the eyes of outsiders, she is the eldest daughter of the Arasaka family, a wealthy woman who only needs to drink tea and eat cakes every day, listen to her subordinates' casual reports and then make judgments.

But she is still a hacker, which is something she learned when she was young, and it is also an ability that she has hidden and has not shown to outsiders until now.

pity.

Of the two people in front of him, one looked like a scientific researcher and the other looked like a warrior.

But in fact, both of them are hackers and have profound attainments.

Hanako Arasaka felt like her implant was about to catch fire, but the two people in front of her seemed fine.

The progress of cracking was as slow as a turtle's crawl. After each level was cracked, there were still several more below. For a moment, Arasaka Hanako even doubted her life.

Was she actually hacking a person, rather than a large server?

In a trance.

Y said, "Don't waste your energy. I am connected to the sacred palanquin here. If you can crack me, it means you can crack the sacred palanquin by yourself."

Arasaka Hanako sat on the ground in a daze, her eyes blank and empty.

"That's impossible, with that much data flow, unless you're deep in the cyber world."

"Nothing is impossible, it's just that you don't know how to use it."

Looking at the biological AI robot approaching her step by step, she was desperate and begged for mercy?

She can't.

But she couldn't accept her own death calmly.

In a trance, she recalled her life.

Born in 1999, she was the child of Saburo Arasaka's most beloved woman. It was also because of her, Michiko Arasaka, that her mother died during childbirth.

And Saburo Arasaka imposed all his love for Michiko Arasaka on her in a deformed way.

Since then, she has been locked up in the Arasaka ancestral home since she was a child, and every day she can only listen to stories about the outside world from the security guards assigned to her by Arasaka Saburo.

Occasionally, I could see Arasaka Yorinobu and Arasaka Kei, and listen to them telling stories, chatting and playing with me.

Of course, compared to Arasaka Kei, who almost replicates Arasaka Saburo's temperament, she is more willing to get close to Arasaka Yorinobu, and that's precisely why.

The relationship between the brother and sister is so close.

It can even be said that until Arasaka Yorinobu founded Steel Dragon and dragged the Arasaka Group into the quagmire, she was still on the side of Arasaka Yorinobu, and even used her hacker skills to connect with Arasaka Yorinobu and coordinate internally and externally.

Until...she chose to step forward to ease the relationship between Saburo Arasaka and Yorimoto.

With her identity as the second-best friend of the Soul Killer and her appearance exactly the same as Saburo's dead wife, she tasted her first success in her life.

She had lived under the rule of Saburo Arasaka since she was a child, but on this day she understood victory, realized her own advantages, and even understood the beauty of power.

Later, thanks to her mediation, Saburo Arasaka and Yorinobu Arasaka got along well.

Saburo Arasaka gradually realized the value of Hanako Arasaka and began to delegate power.

At the same time, along with the feeling of gaining power bit by bit, the innocence that Arasaka Hanako once had is quietly disappearing.

I was suppressed in the past, but now that I have been liberated, I desire freedom and rights more than anyone else.

In order to make herself freer and no longer be a bird in a cage, her choice is completely different from Arasaka Yorinobu's.

Arasaka Yorinobu stood up to resist, and even realized that he wanted to liberate all of humanity and not let them be bound by capitalists.

However, Hanako Arasaka chose to obey, because unlike Yorinobu Arasaka, everything she had now was given by Saburo Arasaka. If she chose to resist, all she would have left was to become a tool of marriage.

Fearing the loss of her freedom and becoming a tool for marriage, she obeyed Saburo Arasaka.

It also starts from this day.

Two factions emerged within the Arasaka Corporation.

The Hawk Faction, which is the nickname given to Arasaka Yorinobu within the group after his return, is known for his tough approach, which has caused considerable conflicts with many world-class companies.

The Pheasant Faction is also a faction that focuses on technology and is one of the few factions in Arasaka Corporation that conducts independent research and development.

This situation lasted for a long time.

It was not until the appearance of Michiko, the daughter of Kei Arasaka and granddaughter of Saburo Arasaka, that doves emerged, the compromising and peace-loving faction that was more in line with the style of Night City.

Hanako and Michiko's niece, who has the same name as her mother, actually do not get along. After all, the friendship between women is never pure, especially for women like these two who attach great importance to power. Naturally, they cannot have too many good memories.

So after being captured in the battle at Arata Tower, the first person she thought of was Michiko.

After all, before returning to Arasaka, this niece lived alone in the storm of public opinion with the only remaining old subordinates of Arasaka Kei, and also created a detective organization called Dangerous Girls, an all-female detective organization composed of cat-eared girls and detectives.

It can be said that since learning about this niece, Arasaka Hanako has engaged in many open and secret struggles.

The base where Y is located has taken action many times to stop Michiko's private activities.

It’s just a pity that the two of them had been fighting openly and secretly for such a long time, but they were reaped the benefits by a seemingly unimportant little person.

Now she is about to lose her most important freedom. Although she may appear to be alive, is she still alive if she has lost herself?

Arasaka Hanako opened her eyes again, and found that the AI ​​biological robot was still standing there.

He did not cut off her head.

She looked at Y.

"Why don't you do it?"

"Are you just going to accept your fate? Why don't you say something else to save your own life?" Y looked at Arasaka Hanako with a strange expression.

"Hehe, I will never try to please you by looking at myself in my most miserable state. You can kill me or cut me up as you like." Arasaka Hanako's eyes flashed.

But in the end, it gradually became firm.

Of course she was afraid of death, but the moment the other party took action, she realized that Y did not intend to kill her. Although she didn't know why, the fact was that she did not take action.

It might be because of nostalgia, or it might be for some other reason, but at least...she survived.

But Y waved his hand.

"It's so boring. I thought you would cry and beg for mercy, saying that you had other secrets and begged me not to be like that." Y shook his head and sighed, then waved his hands.

An anesthetic needle shot out from the hand of the biological AI robot, knocking Arasaka Hanako unconscious.

But Wu Guang looked at Y strangely.

“Why not replace her?”
