I'll take a look at Chapter 68

Ghost in the Shell Smiley Man Incident -

To put it simply, a high-level hacker with a sense of justice roams the web when he sees a document...

There is a disease in that world because of the 'electronic brain' - cerebral sclerosis.

The treatment methods include vaccine therapy and micromechanical therapy, but in fact, vaccine therapy has been very effective, but... Micromechanical therapy is quite a bit worse, if not much different.

However, for its own benefit, the Drug Council labeled the vaccine as "unqualified", and then the congressman used the drug with his own "unqualified" label because he also had cerebral sclerosis.

Aoi found out about this, so she discussed with the micromechanical therapy company to ask him to talk about it, but naturally failed.

At that time, there was a live broadcast of the weather forecast in front of him, so he controlled this person to come to the camera and ask him to say relevant things, and he himself used hacking technology to hack into all the electronic devices and electronic eyes around him, and everyone saw that his face was a 'smiley face symbol'.

Of all the onlookers around at that time, only two of the two homeless men he met when he ran away saw his face, but in fact, his face didn't leak much at the time, so there was no leakage.

This time he failed, but there was one thing left - the smiley man.

That's what society called him at the time.

What he didn't expect was that this matter was instead used by the relevant government, threatening micromechanical therapy with the logo of the smiling man for high claims, and then the stock prices of a series of related companies plummeted, shorting himself, and then using the government's name to help...

The stock prices of these companies fell sharply and then rose sharply.

The people involved make a lot of money, the micromechanical therapy company is confused, and the real smiling man recognizes the dark side of this world...

I thought what I'd do was. I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes (I used to think about being a man who gambled on his ears and eyes and kept his mouth shut. ）

Therefore, he was silent for six years, until 2030, when someone once again used the name of the smiley man to make a profit for himself... He stepped forward.

Aoi saw that the speed of the Ghost in the Shell was far faster than others thought.

The data is inserted into his brain, and he watches it at a very high speed, so that he may not experience the fun, but what the story is told, and what he can understand very quickly.

After that, he was going to wait until he was going to look at it slowly, and now he wanted to understand the contents first, and then make a judgment.

This was a decision after he 'slowly' saw the appearance of the 'smiling man'.

"Most people don't have a great understanding, but just a dull habit of patience..."

Aoi thought of this sentence inexplicably.

Aoi: Thank you, I already have a certain understanding of the world I live in.

Aoi: If you put aside the question of how the 'Ghost in the Shell' came to be.

Aoi: Is my world fictional, is my existence false...

L: No one can answer this answer, at least in this chat room, although there is a lot of speculation, but the speculation is just speculation.

L: Unfounded speculation is often far from the truth.

Aoi: I've been taught.

Aoi: I want to see the world of the 22nd century, and I want to know why technology has regressed so much even after a hundred years.

The time of the world he lives in is 2030, but the technology of electronic brain has long been promoted to everyone, except for a small number of homeless people who have almost all undergone electronic brain surgery, no matter what damage is suffered, a single brain can be alive, and can be directly linked to the network through the neck and the position behind the head.

It is precisely because of this that he is able to hack into everyone's mind, so that they can not see their own face but only see a 'smiley face'.

It is precisely because of this superb technology and what he did at the beginning that the 'smiling man' is widely circulated...

Virtual spaces are also widespread, not just for games, but also for chat rooms.

Chat rooms where people from all over the world come together to share their opinions with each other...

It's not that difficult for Aoi to make a space like this, and it's even easier to make a game like the world where the flying squirrel is located.

It's just a virtual space that relies on memes to speak, and can't be fully active... The arithmetic is very low.

At least for the world in which he lives.

"I see... It's such a world..."Aoi paused slightly, the technology of that world had not developed to the level of the world he was in at the beginning... Before that, resources had been depleted, new energy sources had not been developed, and humanity had not stepped out of the planet beneath its feet.

The humanity of that world has gone down the path of gradual extinction.

That being the case, that kind of ending, that kind of world... It's also a no-brainer.

After thinking about it, he quit the VPN of the flying squirrel world, and then logged in to the VPN of the world where Shunzen was... Saw amazing things.

The technology of this world is not much different from the world he lived in in 2018 on the surface, but after in-depth investigation...

Virtual space technology, electronic brain technology, bionic body technology, intelligent AI technology... It has been around for a long time, and it has appeared since 2015, but it has not been promoted, but it is used on a small scale.

He infiltrated the virtual network.

"Stop—who are you!" At this moment, a man appeared in front of his eyes, looked at him and said, "Are you?" How did you get in? ”

The man said in disbelief, is this obviously his secret virtual network, a secret meeting space, and the meeting here will not be monitored in reality, but why - there will be people who enter without permission?

"Hackers?"

“...... I'm sorry. Aoi nodded and said, "I didn't come in on purpose, but don't worry, I promised others that I wouldn't do anything, I just came here to have a look and find out." ”

"Wait, you're talking ——!"

Saying that, the man opened his eyes and looked around, stunned: "This is... The real world? Got kicked out? ”

But it's okay, being kicked out by the network set up by himself is like the owner has changed.

Aoi looked at the owner of the real server who was kicked out by himself and said in amazement, "This virtual space is no worse than in 2030... Technology has spanned more than a decade of development, but... Technology is still stuck in the past. ”

And, not only that, but he also has this and that otherworldly VPN.

'Walls' didn't exist at all, and if he could take control of this space, he would only need to take it over for a while.

It's just that... Like he said before, he just came over to take a look.
