Chapter 270: Johnny Silverhand's RELIC Chip
Although "Father's Farewell and Son's Smile" is very abstract, it is still in line with Arasaka Yorinobu's life situation. After all, the role of his father as a father is indeed a bit too abstract.

Saburo Arasaka is a well-deserved leader in many aspects. Even in the role of husband, he is very dedicated. The mother of Arasaka Yorinobu and Arasaka Hanako is his true love, and that is also a love story worth telling.

The only difference is that the role of the father was played too well by Saburo Arasaka, especially to his two sons. It may be that there is no affection between father and son in the royal family. The only exception is Arasaka Hanako, who looks very much like her deceased mother.

Maybe for Saburo Arasaka, parents are true love and children are just accidents.

“So that’s how it is”

After Arasaka Yorinobu's transformation was completed, he also received the information package compressed by Ke Ling and understood what kind of "contract" he had signed.

To be honest, signing this "contract" gives you a lot, and these are things you can't get from others, especially the combination of immortality and eternal life, which can be said to be the real core competitiveness.

However, the cost of signing this "contract" is no more than that of other companies. Devil can decide their life or death in a moment, but isn't it the same if you sign a contract with other companies?
Nowadays, most companies treat their employees arbitrarily. The contracts are full of unfair clauses. If they feel that an employee is useless, they can even easily take away everything he has, including his life.

Today's companies are the real devil on earth. It is their basic practice to let their employees work hard all their lives only to end up with nothing.

At this point, Arasaka Yorinobu really didn't doubt what Ke Ling had said before. With such a "contract", I'm afraid everyone would rush to sign it, and there would be few who would be able to refuse.

Recruiting Arasaka Yorinobu was the most important step. Ke Ling was thinking about how to continue to push the plan. In fact, there was no need to push it, he just had to wait for Arasaka Saburo to come.

"How do we kill Arasaka Saburo?"

Arasaka Yorinobu looked at Ke Ling. He cared a lot about what Ke Ling had just said. He wanted Arasaka Saburo to die, and then he would take charge of the power of Arasaka.

This is easier said than done. Arasaka Saburo's security is very strict, and his travel routes and destinations are all secrets, even few people around him know about them.

For people of their level, no accidents are likely to happen unless they are betrayed by people around them.

There are too many lessons from the past, and now security measures have been stretched to the maximum. Economical methods such as decapitation operations are becoming increasingly difficult to succeed. Moreover, Arasaka's security industry is an important pillar industry in itself, and it is even less likely that there will be any omissions.

"He will come and die on his own."

Ke Ling spoke calmly. He couldn't find any trace of Saburo Arasaka, but he didn't need to look for him, because Saburo Arasaka would come to him on his own.

"Will he really come?"

Arasaka Yorinobu was a little skeptical about what Ke Ling said. To be honest, he hadn't seen the old man for a while.

"Just wait. Otherwise, you can ask Arasaka Hanako. Maybe she knows."

Ke Ling was not in a hurry. It would probably only take a few days for Saburo Arasaka to arrive in Night City soon. Before he actually arrived, no one would know the news. Even until he appeared in Arasaka Yorinobu's room, no one knew he was coming. The confidentiality measures were really good.

"Okay, I'll ask her."

Arasaka Yorinobu's eyes flickered. He also knew that his sister Arasaka Hanako was different from him. Arasaka Hanako's relationship with Arasaka Saburo was much closer than his, and they would meet often.

Without any hesitation, Arasaka Yorinobu directly called Arasaka Hanako, but to be honest, he was not sure whether Arasaka Hanako would tell him, after all, it was related to the safety of Arasaka Saburo.

"elder brother?"

Arasaka Hanako answered the phone with a somewhat surprised tone, because Arasaka Yorinobu had been deliberately not contacting her in the past few days, so she was naturally surprised to receive a call from Arasaka Yorinobu.

"What happened?"

In fact, Arasaka Hanako cares about Arasaka Yorinobu very much. She has always had a good relationship with her biological brother. She has also been mediating between her brother Arasaka Yorinobu and her father Arasaka Saburo, trying her best to ease the bad relationship between the father and son.

"It's okay, Hanako, will Arasaka Saburo come to see me?"

Arasaka Yorinobu was very direct. He asked his question right away without any greetings, which surprised Arasaka Hanako.

"."

Arasaka Hanako was silent for a while. This question really hit the nail on the head.

"can not say?"

Seeing that Arasaka Hanako remained silent, Arasaka Yorinobu already understood in his heart that he and Arasaka Hanako still had some tacit understanding. After all, when he was young, Arasaka Hanako often helped him as an insider and helped him escape from the pursuit of Arasaka agents.

After a while of silence from Arasaka Hanako, Arasaka Yorinobu understood most of what was said. It seemed that what Devil boss said was right.

"I can't tell you, and don't ask me. The RELIC 2.0 issue is very serious and cannot be handled by others."

Arasaka Hanako finally spoke, and her words basically confirmed Arasaka Yorinobu's judgment.

"I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Arasaka Yorinobu didn't intend to force Arasaka Hanako to tell him more. If he could, his sister would definitely tell him, and if he couldn't, no matter how much he asked, it would be useless.

In fact, Hanako Arasaka still has her own ideas and principles, which Arasaka Yorinobu has always known.

"Arasaka Saburo will come, and he has probably already arrived."

Arasaka Yorinobu spoke, and he suddenly felt pressured. No matter what, he was Saburo Arasaka, the founder and ruler of Arasaka, the dictator who dominated an era.

"No hurry, let me see your RELIC chip first."

Ke Ling nodded, not caring at all. He was just an old man with most of his body buried in the ground. In the face of life and death, no matter how many identities he had, they were useless. He would still die.

Compared to Saburo Arasaka who came here to die, Ke Ling was more interested in the "RELIC 2.0" chip. This prototype chip contained the electronic soul of Johnny Silverhand, an AI that fully possessed Johnny Silverhand's memory and thinking patterns.

"Okay, this stuff is very valuable and the storage conditions are very strict."

Of course, Arasaka Yorinobu had no reason to refuse. Now this "RELIC 2.0" is no longer important. To put it bluntly, this technology has been eliminated before it was put into large-scale application, because Ke Ling's is obviously more advanced.

Arasaka Yorinobu took out a box. This box was a special storage device. The "RELIC 2.0" chip was not an ordinary chip. It was a biological chip, which was very valuable and had to be stored in a human-like environment to ensure its integrity. In other words, if the chip was stored carelessly, it would become inactive after a while and the data inside would be lost.

Ke Ling opened the box and saw the chip. It looked quite ordinary, without any fancy design.

After all, this thing can be said to be a death warrant. You are just counting on others to insert it. If you make it too exaggerated, people will probably think twice. It is better to have the most ordinary appearance so as not to arouse people's vigilance. If you pick it up from the roadside, you might just insert it.

"Once you insert this thing, most people can't pull it out. If you pull it out, you will die."

Arasaka Yorinobu spoke up, looking a little frightened, after all, he was one of the targets chosen.

"I'll take it for fun."

Ke Ling nodded and put the box away directly. He still had Johnny Silverhand's body here, and now he had obtained Johnny Silverhand's electronic AI soul, so he would definitely try to operate it to see if he could make something cool.

"Notify me when Arasaka Saburo arrives."

After leaving an order, Ke Ling disappeared into the darkness, leaving Arasaka Yorinobu and Arasaka Michiko looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Has Boss Devil always been so elusive?"

Arasaka Yorinobu was a little stunned. He was talking here, and Ke Ling disappeared. He was really surprised. Shouldn't the most important thing at the moment be Arasaka Saburo's matter? What was so urgent? He actually just left them here and didn't care.

"Of course we have no right to interfere in Lord Devil's affairs. Just follow his orders."

Michiko Arasaka spoke to Yorinobu Arasaka with the look of someone who had experienced it before, saying that this was indeed how she had been going through these days.

Ke Ling basically ignored her and would not care about anything once he received an order. He would leave things to her to do on her own and would not interfere. He was a typical hands-off boss and a popular superior.

As long as she could do her job well, the Devil who held the power of life and death over them would not care about other details, nor would he be stingy with praise and rewards. He also seemed to be a person who only promoted people based on their merits. So she got the position of Chief Supervisor and had an extraordinary status in the "Shadow Society".

"Is that so? Then what does he usually do?"

Arasaka Yorinobu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Who wouldn't like a boss who didn't care about anything but the general direction? Of course, it was better not to see him. No matter what, in front of such a creature who controlled his life and death, the pressure was still very great.

"Stop asking questions, stop mentioning things. Is this something you and I can spy on? Just focus on doing our own thing and don't worry about other things."

Michiko Arasaka obviously has her own unique wisdom in this regard, and her wisdom has also brought her the rewards she deserves.

"."

Arasaka Yorinobu was silent for a while. This Arasaka Michiko guy was inexplicably acting so arrogantly. Did she really think of herself as an inspector or confidant?

However, although he was secretly dissatisfied in his heart, Arasaka Yorinobu had no choice. Compared to him, Arasaka Michiko was obviously more familiar with the Lord Devil. Although he was in charge of the "Shadow Society", the "Supervisor" was obviously a means of checks and balances.

"What do we wait for next?"

Arasaka Yorinobu changed the subject. He actually just wanted to find something to talk about. What happened today was indeed a bit too magical. He needed to communicate more with Arasaka Michiko who was in the same situation.

"Master Devil said to wait, so we wait. We have no other choice but to obey orders at this time."

Michiko Arasaka said this very directly. If there are other ways, then of course they can give full play to their subjective initiative, because from her previous experience, Lord Devil encourages them to give full play to their subjective initiative to solve problems themselves.

It was precisely because of this that she became more convinced of Ke Ling, because he was a real hands-off boss, a boss who really hoped that they could run the "Shadow Society" themselves, rather than a dictator who wanted to hold all power in his hands.

"it is good."

Arasaka Yorinobu took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and gradually accepted the reality. At least now everything was developing in the direction he hoped, and he had nothing to be dissatisfied with.

"It can only be activated after one death. This death refers to the death of the body."

On the other side, in the shadow world, Einzbernburg, Ke Ling has begun studying the "RELIC 2.0" chip he just got.

Ke Ling's understanding of this thing is naturally very deep. After all, he knows exactly how this thing works. He even knows it better than Anders Hermann, who completed the "RELIC 2.0" chip, because that guy has not yet succeeded in the experiment.

Anders Hermann, Arasaka's chief bioengineer, neural network expert, and director of the Relic project, used the Soul Slayer source code to invent the current "RELIC 2.0".

He is not a particularly brilliant person, but he is definitely a versatile person. If you ask Otto Cunningham to come, she may not be able to produce the "RELIC 2.0" chip. It can only be said that everyone has their own expertise.

But even Anders Hermann has not really completed the "RELIC 2.0" project. He is still improving the plan through constant failures, and the plan has not yet been officially implemented.

To be honest, Ke Ling was not sure whether the "RELIC 2.0" chip in his hand would be successful. After all, he couldn't use V for experiments, right?

Although there are two Vs around Ke Ling now, no matter which V it is, Ke Ling will definitely not push others into the fire pit.

As for whether "RELIC 2.0" can be successful without relying on this special individual V, Ke Ling really can't guarantee it.

After all, there is no reason why other chips should not be successful. This one is special and will succeed no matter who it is inserted into. In comparison, Ke Ling would rather believe that it is because V is unique enough.

"Let's give it a try. Later, Arasaka Saburo also succeeded. Maybe this chip was successful from this batch."

Ke Ling didn't think about it any more. It would be better to just give it a try. The experiment he was going to do was complicated to begin with. Even if it failed, it wouldn't necessarily be the fault of "RELIC 2.0".

Without hesitation, Ke Ling summoned out the body he had prepared long ago.

This body is very distinctive. One of its arms is a metal arm. It is the Johnny Silverhand that Ke Ling had obtained before. Now this body has been transformed by Ke Ling using RC cells and has become a kagune monster that can be controlled by him.

In a sense, the body is alive now, but there is no soul in it, it is just an empty shell.

What Ke Ling has to do is to insert the "RELIC 2.0" chip into this Hezi monster, and then kill the Hezi monster to see if the "RELIC 2.0" can be successfully started.
