Arasaka Tower.

Thirty-three floors of the Counterintelligence Department.

Tang Yu lifted the blazer covering his body, sat up from the sofa, walked to the water dispenser and poured a cup of hot water, and then sat back at his desk.

Activate the office system, bring up the interrogation room surveillance screen, and the whole night has passed, to check if Lucy's situation is okay.

in the picture.

Lucy remained in a knee-hugging position, as if she hadn't moved all night, and the breakfast brought by the guards was also placed at the gate, untouched.

Although Lucy is curled up alone in the picture, it is better than having an aggressive behavior, as long as she is sure that there is no safety problem, I believe that she will be able to be sent out soon.

After going out, she will usher in a new life.

Tang Yu turned off the picture and prepared to start today's work.

He asked the front desk to put aside today's routine business and focus on matters related to network surveillance.

Some things were basically sorted out last night, and the rest is to put them in place one by one.

His previous decision to add Lucy to the network surveillance was based on multiple considerations.

First, cyber surveillance is not a company, it is an independent global cyber organization, and capable deep diving hackers are very welcome.

Lucy's identity and conditions are more in line with the requirements of network surveillance.

Second, there are cooperation agreements between network monitoring and major companies, and there is also a clear agreement relationship with Arasaka.

If Lucy is hired, Arasaka will not be able to continue to hunt her down as a fugitive hacker.

Some cyber surveillance agents were formerly deep-diving hackers of major companies, and the extradition of deep-diving hackers is an established rule in the industry.

In addition, Arasaka will not open up cyber surveillance for the sake of a little-known deep-diving hacker.

The reason why Lucy was targeted was entirely because Kate was aware that there might be some kind of secret relationship between her and Tang Yu.

As long as Kate disappears, no one in the entire Arasaka Tower will have the leisure to trouble an agent who is already working for cyber surveillance.

In addition, there is Tang Yu on the side of the Arasaka Tower to help her cover, and there is almost no difficulty in whitewashing her identity.

The third is that Lucy herself has no choice, and the results of the life simulation have explained everything.

It would be useless for her to continue to escape, and sooner or later she would fall into the hands of Arasaka, not only would she have no way out, but she would also bring huge potential hidden dangers to Tang Yu.

So.

Tang Yu never planned to let her go from the beginning, whether she lived or died, she had to stay by his side.

Things have developed to this point, and the situation is no longer beyond Lucy's own control, let alone the question of whether she can decide whether she will stay or not.

Pressing matter.

Tang Yu had to get in touch with the network monitor first, and there was one acquaintance he once knew about the network monitor.

Bryce Moseley.

Moseley is the Senior Regional Director of Cyber Surveillance, responsible for Cyber Surveillance Special Operations throughout North America, and a senior operative in Night City's Cyber Surveillance Division.

Back then, Tang Yu also helped Moseley enter the Voodoo Gang and break the subnet Poseidon system.

After the two eliminated the Voodoo Gang, the two also worked together to successfully prevent Ott Cunningham from breaking through the black wall and entering the human material world.

In terms of their attitude towards artificial intelligence, the two have quite the same opinion.

Tang Yu's super hacking skills surprised Moseley, and he urged him to join the network monitor, but Tang Yu refused.

In a word.

Moseley's impression on Tang Yu is not bad, a hacker agent who likes to watch western cowboy movies, and his personality is also very talkative, which is ten million times better than the group of untrustworthy guys in the Voodoo Gang.

Tang Yu called up the contact information of the senior management of various departments of the network supervision through the office system, and directly found the information of Bryth Moseley.

In order for Lucy to successfully join the network surveillance, there must be a good record of results.

This time, Tang Yu has prepared a stepping stone for Lucy.

He dialed the front desk and told Moseley, the senior director of network monitoring, to come to the office to meet him, and said that there was a cooperation project he wanted to talk to about the Voodoo subnet Poseidon.

Sure enough.

The front desk quickly sent back a message informing Bryce Moseley that he was on his way.

The Voodoo Gang has always been the focus of online surveillance, and it is also Moseley's biggest headache.

The subnet Poseidon is completely free from network supervision and control, and many illegal actions in the cyberspace, as well as the destruction of the black wall, are carried out through the subnet Poseidon.

This is absolutely not allowed in the eyes of network surveillance, and an unregulated subnet will have great potential harm to the few remaining public networks.

What's more, the group of people in the Voodoo Gang are uneasy and kind, and have been working on escaping from prison and circumventing the wall, trying to study and destroy the black wall.

At that time, Moseley spent a lot of money in order to break the subnet Poseidon.

Without Tang Yu's assistance, it would not be easy to take down the Voodoo Gang.

So Tang Yu concluded that when Moseley heard about the subnet Poseidon, he would definitely want to figure out what was going on.

And.

It is normal for network surveillance to cooperate with companies, and since there are common interests and goals, there is a basis and consensus for cooperation.

Tang Yu waited in the office for a while, and there was news at the front desk, reporting to Tang Yu that Bryth Mosley had arrived at the counterintelligence department.

After a security scan at the door, the office gate automatically slid open, and Moseley walked in.

I saw him wearing a striped plaid shirt, a tie tied properly, rolled up cuffs, and a work sign hanging on the right side of his chest.

The most striking thing is the advanced implant of the hacker on the back of his head and cervical spine, which is obviously a senior deep-diving hacker.

Tang Yu motioned for Moseley to sit down and talk.

Moseley, as a senior member of the network monitoring agency, has little to do with Arasaka Company, and although he attaches great importance to Tang Yu's identity, he does not show fear.

"Hello Mr. Tang, first meeting, this is my business card."

He put a black paper card on the table, handed it to Tang Yu, and said loudly.

After speaking, he sat down in the chair very calmly.

Tang Yu put away Moseley's business card and said with a smile.

"I didn't expect you to deliver business cards the traditional way."

"After all, people don't feel comfortable with people like us, and they think that we can bake their brains into brains at any time, but obviously we don't do that, only a group of cyber hackers hiding in the dark corners of Taiping Prefecture would do that." Moseley's tone was humorous and self-deprecating.

Hearing Mosley talk about roasting brain flowers at will, Tang Yu couldn't help but think of his crazy actions.

In that year, in order to verify the ICE strength of the Terrorist Mobile Squad and the Trauma Team, he accidentally implanted an electronic intrusion protocol and wiped out a team of four.

"Then we can just talk about this matter today, about the subnet of the Taiping Voodoo Gang, Seagod."

Moseley's expression immediately became a little serious and solemn, which was also the main purpose of his personal visit to the Arasaka Counterintelligence Department.

He had previously led cooperation with Kate, the deputy minister of counterintelligence, but the deep-diving hackers caught by Arasaka were not sent to the network for monitoring.

This time, it was the acting minister Tang Yu who invited cooperation, but it was about the Voodoo gang subnet Poseidon.

The same company and the same department, separately approached different projects for network monitoring and cooperation, which made Moseley aware of something unusual.

But the infighting in the Arasaka company has nothing to do with him, and it would be great if he could really use the power of Arasaka to get rid of the Voodoo Gang.

"I'm happy to cooperate, I don't know what Mr. Tang thinks?"

"To make you laugh, now that the Voodoo Gang is entrenched in Taiping Prefecture, the network surveillance can neither find their actual den, nor trace the network address of the subnet Poseidon."

"Breaking the Voodoo Gang and getting the subnet Poseidon is basically clueless at present."

As for the problems faced by network supervision, in Tang Yu's view, it is nothing at all.

The actual hiding place of the Voodoo Gang is in the Barty Hotel in the Seaview Area, as long as they break through their den and find the subnet Poseidon server, the rest will naturally fall into place.

However, Tang Yu did not plan to inform Moseley of this information for the time being, and this was a bargaining chip prepared for Lucy to join the network surveillance.

"Since you can't find the Voodoo Gang, you can try another way, why not try luring the snake out of the hole." Tang Yu took a sip of hot tea and said indifferently.

Luring the snake out of the hole?

Moseley didn't know the Voodoo Gang too well, and those guys were more savvy than rats, and they couldn't be reached without special channels.

In addition, the area of Taiping Prefecture is all Haitian ethnic groups, and they unanimously help them cover for the outside world, which is very difficult to serve, and it is even more difficult to force them to come out than to ascend to the sky.

Tang Yu saw that Moseley couldn't quite understand, so he continued to mention something.

"It's not just the Voodoo Gang that covets that territory in Taiping Prefecture, and the Animal Gang has long wanted to stretch out their hand."

"The Empire State Building was ruined by a broken funding chain, and the Voodoo Gang had long wanted to take it for themselves."

"With these two preconditions, it's not difficult to lure the voodoo gang into action."

Moseley quickly reacted and understood what Tang Yu meant.

The Empire State Building project is located in the heart of Taiping Prefecture, surrounded by the Voodoo Gang sphere.

Its geographical location is not only the heart of Taiping Prefecture, but also the heart of the Voodoo Gang, and its importance is self-evident.

What's more, the Empire State Building, though unfinished, is very complete and could be used as a base of operations with a little renovation.

For this big fat shortage, the Voodoo Gang has long been coveted.

The Animal Gang, which has never had a specific base, has been active frequently in the southern part of Taiping Prefecture recently, and it is coveting the huge building of the Empire State Building.

As long as the fundamental contradiction between the two gangs is exploited, the cyber surveillance can even take down the voodoo gang without a single soldier, which is exactly what Moseley wants.

Unlike large corporations, cyber watchdogs are more like elite individual soldiers, as they are hacker agents, and elite hackers are extremely expensive to train, and the cost of updating and maintaining advanced hacker prosthetics is also very high.

A powerful cyber hacker agent has thousands of troops in cyberspace, so the number of cyber surveillance hacker agents is not large.

The operation against the Voodoo Gang is certainly not possible on Moseley alone.

This is also why he agreed to come to see Tang Yu, just hoping to get the power of Arasaka.

But after Tang Yu's pointing, Mosley realized that there was a better plan for this matter.

As long as the conflict between the Animal Gang and the Voodoo Gang is provoked, then the network surveillance only needs to spend some money and equipment, and the subnet Poseidon can be eaten, and the transaction will make a lot of money.

Moseley agreed with this plan very much, but at this moment he wanted to know the purpose behind Tang Yu, and gave him an idea for no reason, it was impossible not to charge some interest.

"Mr. Tang, I agree with your plan, but I don't know what you want, after all, business is all about coming and going."

Speaking of which, Tang Yu also directly explained his intentions: "After taking down the Voodoo Gang, I want the subnet Poseidon database." ”

The subnet Poseidon is his primary target, and this is the material he gives to Saburo Arasaka.

Mosley pondered for a moment, the subnet Poseidon is indeed very important, although he doesn't know what Arasaka is going to do, but the Arasaka Company at least has to follow the rules more than the Voodoo Gang.

"I don't have an opinion on this, you can share data after getting the subnet Poseidon, provided that Arasaka abides by the confidentiality and security agreement, and is limited to the company's internal research, and is not allowed to be used and disseminated."

He knew that Arasaka had also been working on the Cyberspace Project, and the large amount of data on the subnet, Poseidon, would help them further study, whether it was an old network outside the black wall or the establishment of an independent and hidden subnet, all of which were not conducive to network monitoring.

But companies do these things by acquiescence to each other, and if the bottom line is followed, network surveillance will not stop it.

For Moseley's request, Tang Yu agreed.

Mosley pondered for a moment, then asked, "But there's a key issue at the moment, even if the Animals Gang take over the Empire State Building and lead to the Voodoo Gang to investigate. But in the huge cyberspace, it is still impossible to track the voodoo gang deep dive hackers, as well as the address of the subnet Poseidon. ”

"Cyber surveillance is understaffed these days, and it's hard to deal with voodoo people at the cyber level."

The occupation of the Empire State Building is a physical operation, and in cyberspace, cyber surveillance still has no way to deal with the Voodoo Gang.

Someone has to dive into cyberspace to catch traces of the voodoo hacks.

As a cyber surveillance agent, Mosley enters the cyberspace alone to face the voodoo gang and dive hackers, and if he is not careful, he will be attacked and killed by the malware produced by the voodoo gang.

This is also the reason why the cyber surveillance has not been able to attack the Voodoo gang head-on, and their elite hacker agents are one less dead.

The current situation is similar to that of the members of the Voodoo Gang relying on the Poseidon Data Fortress to build a huge and secretive fortress, which can be attacked, retreated and defended in the cyberspace, almost recklessly.

Although there is a lot of money and cutting-edge network equipment for cyber surveillance, due to the global distribution of agents, Night City is relatively short of manpower, which is why the capture of deep-diving hackers needs to be sent to the hands of cyber surveillance, and human resources are the most valuable for them.

Moseley has almost no chance of winning by himself in the cyberspace, and he still needs helpers.

Tang Yu said bluntly: "I recommend someone to you, with her, it is not difficult to catch the group of rats of the Voodoo Gang." ”

Moseley's eyes lit up, and he didn't think that Arasaka could still have reinforcements, which could not be better for him.

"Is it Arasaka's dive hacker?"

Tang Yu nodded slightly and said: "Yes, the deep-diving hacker cultivated by Arasaka has just been arrested and returned to the company, and there is no problem with the technology, but she has a request, leaving Arasaka to join the network supervision." ”

Moseley understood, Tang Yu recommended Arasaka's fugitive deep diving hacker, for people who have long been disloyal to Arasaka in this kind of belief, there is no longer much value, but it is better to send it out to play the surplus value.

And this kind of absconding hackers are generally absolutely hostile to Arasaka, and will do everything to get out.

Moseley thought about it for a moment and agreed directly.

"No problem, if her hacking skills do meet the entry requirements and help us lock down the voodoo gang."

Tang Yu confidently made a decision and settled the matter.

The two discussed some details of the cooperation again and finalized the entire planning steps.

First, the network monitors the Animal Gang and unites them to set up a temporary base in the Empire State Building.

As for the security of the temporary base, the Animal Gang is mainly responsible, and the Arasaka Counterintelligence Department can provide some force support if necessary.

After the temporary base was built, the network surveillance set up a detector to search the entire Taiping State network signal fluctuations with the Empire State Building as the center, forcing the Voodoo Gang to intervene.

After the Voodoo Gang began to operate in Cyberspace, hackers sent by Tang Yu dived into it to find and lock down the online activities of Voodoo members, and assist the network to monitor the use of ICE to block.

Until the Voodoo Gang's hiding location is finally determined, the location of the subnet Poseidon server is found, and the people of the Animal Gang are allowed to sweep it, and finally get the Poseidon Fortress data.

After the deed was accomplished, he took advantage of the situation to eliminate the Voodoo Gang, helped the Animal Gang occupy the Empire State Building, gained a firm foothold in Taiping Prefecture, and curbed the resurgence of the Voodoo Gang.

Compared with the cyber hackers who are secretive and difficult to control, the Animal Gang's occupation of Taiping Prefecture is obviously more beneficial to all forces.

After the plan was agreed, Bryth Mosley left the office, and when the network monitoring was arranged, Tang Yu would be informed to start acting.

Tang Yu finalized the entire plan of action to eliminate the Voodoo Gang, and was still carefully considering this matter, checking and filling in the gaps.

The most important part of the whole plan is to get the Poseidon data in hand, which is the most important goal.

If the Voodoo Gang were defeated in cyberspace, they might also take the initiative to destroy the server so that the Poseidon Fortress data would not fall into the wrong hands.

Someone had to sneak into the Voodoo Gang's lair Seaview Area Barty Hotel in advance, and copy the Poseidon data from the server before the Voodoo Gang could react.

Tang Yu thought about it for a while, and felt that it was a good choice to arrange this way of life for V.

At first, he thought of the Mann team, after all, they have the technology and experience, and the personnel are also sufficient, and they can organize effective resistance in case of danger.

But Mann and Lucy are too deeply involved, and it is easy to be noticed when they are involved in this matter, but they don't know anything, and V, who has just returned from outside the city, is more suitable.

A newcomer cyberpunk that doesn't attract much attention.

I don't know how V Zi is doing recently, Tang Yu has received a few more transfers from her electronic account, and the amount is okay.

However, Gloria has never called, and nine times out of ten, V went to Lizzie to pick up the job without reporting his name.

Tang Yu thought it was quite interesting, and now she was bullying and bullying while she was still growing up.

When you get up in the future, you won't have a chance.

He remembered that back then, V Zi relied on his own force value, but he did not bully Tang Yu who took the hacker flow.

Tang Yu could only follow her and rummage through the treasure chests outside.

V has a big head, he takes a small head, and he doesn't do anything.

This time, I have to arrange a big job for V, and when I am free, I have to take her to Lao Weina, change the implants that should be replaced, and then do upgrades and so on.

With that in mind.

Tang Yu dialed Gloria's phone.

Suddenly receiving a call from Tang Yu, Gloria looked a little panicked, and quickly lifted the bed, next to Sasha who was sleeping soundly.

Ever since living with Gloria, Sasha has slept more and more night.

"Mr. Tang, morning"

Tang Yu subconsciously glanced at the panoramic skylight behind him and found that it seemed to be too early.

"Well, morning, is it convenient to answer the phone?"

Gloria nodded as if she was pecking rice, and replied conveniently.

Tang Yu asked, "Recently, a mercenary who calls himself V came to Lizi to take a job?" ”

Almost immediately, Gloria remembered the girl with a distinct personality and an equally distinctly dressed dress.

I couldn't be more impressed by her bohemian style and fashionable and avant-garde aesthetic.

The key is to take a closer look, you can find that her appearance and strength are simply too strong, her beautiful face is a little heroic, and she always talks about morality and affection, which is quite chivalrous.

Gloria felt a little strange about Tang Yu's sudden mention of her, and was keenly aware of what kind of story there might be in this, but she didn't ask more.

"Well, there is a girl named V, who has come to Lizi to take over several commissions, and each time she can complete it as required, and she can't tell that she is a novice."

Tang Yu nodded slightly, since V Zi had already been to Lizi Bar, it would be easy to do.

However, to his surprise, V did not choose to settle the bill in cash, indicating that she really didn't think about repaying the debt, and planned to pay off the car loan and housing loan one after another.

Sure enough, it's the famous V.

Tang Yu said: "There is a commission to arrange for her, the remuneration will be increased appropriately, and I will send you the specific entrustment later." ”

"I see, Mr. Tang." Gloria earnestly agreed.

After chatting about some bar work, Tang Yu was about to hang up the phone, but heard Gloria ask softly.

"Mr. Tang, have you had time to come to Lizi to sit recently" Her tone seemed a little embarrassed.

Tang Yu bluntly refused.

Lucy's side he couldn't walk away for the time being, and he had to prevent Kate from giving him a prelude.

Gloria was a little disappointed, and just sighed softly, but at some point Sasha had already come to the side, looking at her curiously.

"Is it Mr. Tang?"

"Well, yes, but he said he didn't have time to sit with Lizzie for the time being."

"And when will Sasha fall down?" Sasha spread her fingers and made a cat flutter.

Gloria: "."

After hanging up the phone.

Tang Yu got up and walked out of the minister's office, took the special elevator to the top floor of the Arasaka Tower, and came to the exclusive office of Arasaka Saburo.

Sit in front of the office, log in to the company's internal system, and bring up Kate's personal job interface.

His eyes were fixed on the red button.

【Dismissal】
