Chapter 9: The God of AI

Taiping State.

Seascape Barty Hotel.

After getting out of the traffic station, V went straight all the way to here.

This is the address she received from Gloria, and she will be here to complete today's commission later.

Infiltrate the Barty Hotel and steal data from the Voodoo Gang server base station.

However, the theft of data does not start now, but waits for a signal, a chaotic scuffle.

Regarding the content of the commission, Gloria explained very clearly that V would not act on his own initiative and run into the voodoo gang's lair alone to make trouble.

What she has to do now is to avoid attracting the attention of the surrounding Voodoo gang spies, hide her whereabouts, and wait for the opportunity to sneak into the hotel.

The Grand Hotel Barty is now completely occupied by Haitians, surrounded by the faces of their own people, and it is easy to arouse suspicion when a stranger from outside the city haunts the area.

In order to hide her whereabouts, she decided to find a snack bar near the hotel first, fill her stomach and wait for a while before she has the strength to work.

I came to the window of a convenience store, and the owner of it was also Haitian.

V looked calm, ordered a meal at random, sat under the umbrella on the side of the street with a plate, and ate by himself.

Regarding the commission he received from Lizzy Bar this time, V felt that the remuneration was a little unequal to the difficulty of the task.

Gloria offered her a reward of 20,000 euros, which was more than the previous missions combined, but the commission was to infiltrate the Barty Grand Hotel and steal server data.

And in order to cover up her actions, Gloria also deliberately emphasized that she must wait for the Voodoo Gang and the Animal Gang to fight to avoid being discovered.

V didn't know what the grudge between the two gangs was, but they definitely didn't deal with each other in Taiping Prefecture, and they just had to work according to Gloria's prompts later.

With that in mind.

V couldn't help but sigh, the proprietress of Lizi is not only beautiful and kind-hearted, but even so generous, no wonder she can gain a firm foothold in the middleman industry so quickly.

Cyberspace.

This blue digital ocean world is filled with endless data streams and symbol changes, forming a vast program network world.

The darkness in front of Lucy's eyes was gradually dispelled by the blue sea of data, and the entire consciousness body was condensed and formed, and now she looked like a digital elf.

It had been a long time since she had been to this cyberspace world, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath in the face of the familiar sea of data, even though she didn't need to breathe here at all.

With the neural consciousness data solidified, Lucy was able to operate normally in cyberspace.

But she still needs to wait for some hints, hints from the Internet Monitor.

Soon.

Lucy is surrounded by a set of ethereal light blue cloaks, which are hidden programs prepared for her by the Internet Monitor, to minimize the possibility of detection by the Voodoo Gang, and to resist a certain degree of malicious intrusion.

She raised her hand slightly, and the set of void light blue flew straight towards her, enveloping her whole body, and the entire data consciousness body faded a lot, merging with the blue sea around her.

With the stealth protection app loaded, Lucy can begin her actions, locating the area provided by cyber surveillance and searching for Voodoo members in this endless world of data matrix.

Soon.

Lucy's eyes lit up with a point of light, as if it were a star, and it was the network signal point set up by the Internet Surveillance at the Empire State Building.

She raised her slender right hand and shook it towards the flickering point of light, and the data world around her changed like a star, as if she had entered a data flow tunnel.

It didn't take long.

Lucy arrived around the signal point, a cyberspace matrix made up of many block programs.

It looks like entering a world full of pillars, where there is no distinction between heaven and earth, where there is no dimensional measurement, and it is all up to consciousness to read, run, invade, and so on.

Lucy casually broke open a pillar, hid inside, merged with the column, disguised as a running program, and waited for an opportunity to observe the surrounding situation and the subtle changes in the data flow.

She was able to easily hide in the fixed programs because she was loaded with ICE for network monitoring, which would otherwise cause a crash and a firewall when she tried to break through the walls of these programs.

The Voodoo Gang is far more difficult to hide in this program matrix than Lucy, and this is the home of network surveillance.

Lucy carefully pays attention to the situation around her, and must be cautious in any action in cyberspace, otherwise she will be invaded by malicious programs released by the other party, and it is very likely that she will be explained here.

After confirming that there was no sign of any of them, Lucy began to sift through the matrix area after matrix, trying to find some clues.

The high-intensity work puts her body in a state of high temperature load, especially the brain nerves, so the principle of deep diving is to do less and fast as you can.

She was like a jumping data wizard, silently going back and forth between solid programs, sifting through pieces of matrix programs.

Lucy was anxious, and after searching until now, there was no eyebrow.

Either the voodoo hackers haven't gotten into the vicinity of the source, or they're too sophisticated and protect themselves too well in disguise.

This is not only a contest of technology, but also a contest of time.

The Voodoo Gang also has little time left, and if they don't break through the signal source as soon as possible and break into the network monitoring base server, their lair server will sooner or later be detected by the network signal fluctuations.

At that time, what awaits them is a flat push by force, not a cyberspace war.

On the web, the Voodoo Gang has a natural advantage.

In the material world, the Voodoo Gang is certainly not a match for the Animal Gang.

Finally.

Lucy had searched most of the area, leaving only a handful of matrixes, which were the most heavily guarded by the firewall.

Whoever wants to invade from there is several times more difficult than anywhere else.

Suddenly.

Lucy, who was hiding in the solid program, found some clues.

She saw some small worm-like programs, which were burrowing into some solid programs, and she was hiding in them without realizing it.

However, these solid programs have not attracted the attention of firewalls, indicating that they are not destructive viruses.

It's more like a sojourn program, hiding inside the program, lurking and waiting for an opportunity.

Worms.

What is the Voodoo Gang trying to do?

Are they going to do it all at once, hacking and burning down the network surveillance server in one go?

The tighter the firewall, the greater the number of solid programs and the greater the number of worms that can be parasitic.

At that time.

Once the Voodoo gang fails, most of the solid programs of network monitoring will be paralyzed, causing hardware failure.

They then gathered their forces to break through the firewall from here, resist the counterattack of the network surveillance ICE, and directly destroy the signal source.

Then the plan to persecute the Voodoo Gang will be difficult to achieve.

Realizing that something was wrong, Lucy stopped and hid in safety, and continued to wait, waiting for the mastermind behind the scenes to come forward and then call in the network to monitor the ICE attack.

Deep dive indoors.

Tang Yu observed the various elements on the electronic display screen to make sure that Lucy was safe.

Deep diving is the most vulnerable and dangerous time for cyber hackers, which is equivalent to unreservedly exposing their own weaknesses and being unaware of what is happening in the outside world.

Life or death depends on the whims of those who are waiting outside.

Therefore, even if Tang Yu became a top hacker back then, he rarely dived deeply.

He saw Lucy in the water tank, breathing steadily, and exhaled wisps of hot air from the tip of her nose, indicating that she had not yet experienced anything abnormal in the cyberspace.

Hackers in the deep cyberspace lack awareness of the outside world, but after being attacked, they will still manifest themselves in the body, ranging from pain all over the body to smoke in the brain.

Moseley, the cyber surveillance agent in the control room, sent a message: "She is in cyberspace, has arrived at the signal source, and everything is normal at the moment. ”

Tang Yu estimated that Lucy should not have encountered danger yet, so he asked, "Have you detected any movement of the Voodoo Gang over there?" ”

Moseley looked at the signal fluctuation monitoring representation, which showed no anomalies, and the Voodoo Gang hid the network activity deeply.

However, he still knew through some special technology that the Voodoo Gang had been dispatched, but it was not possible to track the other party for the time being, and Lucy needed to search further in the cyberspace, and after finding the target, he would activate the network monitoring ICE in a targeted manner.

"Not at the moment."

"The Voodoo Gang is backed by the Poseidon system, which is a completely independent and hidden subnet, and usually performs 'retreat while acting' type hacking operations, leaving no traces."

"Either our hackers can catch it in advance, or wait for the Voodoo gang to attack, and then we will find a way to counteract."

The initiative of the former is in the hands of network surveillance, and the initiative of the latter is in the hands of voodoo gangs.

Now there are already a lot of voodoo informants around the Empire State Building, waiting for an opportunity to find information on the periphery, trying to block the network monitoring server through jammers, but obviously failed.

Moseley continued, "The Voodoo Gang are not good at stubble, and if we don't use ICE to trap them in the first place, our deep-dive hackers will be in a big threat. ”

"Once you have a clue, you can get out of it as soon as you run ICE."

"If the deep dive still doesn't work out after a while, we can take it slow and try something else."

Mosley was referring to a storm that would try to arrest one or two Voodoo guys and figure out where the Voodoo was hiding in their heads.

Tang Yu also agreed with Moseley's statement.

Hackers shouldn't dive too long, and since the Voodoo Gang is already a certain death, there's no need for Lucy to take more risks inside.

Tang Yu looked at the electronic screen, and still did not receive the signal of Lucy's request to leave the cyberspace, indicating that she was still moving.

Suddenly.

Lucy's brows furrowed slightly, as if she felt a little uncomfortable, and her cranial nerves were overloaded, causing fine cold sweat to ooze from her brain.

Even if it is soaked in cold water in an ice tank, it still cannot completely dissipate heat.

Tang Yu hurriedly squatted on the side of the water tank to check Lucy's condition, and from her micro-expressions, it was obvious that she had been attacked by an unknown person.

He sprang into action, holding the slender back of Lucy's neck with one hand, and scooping her wrist from the icy water with the other, activating the 'Weak Electro Control' talent, and an arc of electricity was channeled along the biological data line at her wrist.

Tang Yu closed his eyes, trying to import the data flow generated in his mind into Lucy's storage core and transfer it to the cyberspace.

In the event of such an emergency, either rely on the ability and technology of the deep dive hacker to get out, or the outside world provides some technical support, just like the last time Qi Wei dived.

But the trouble Lucy encountered was obviously different from Qi Wei's deep dive, she was attacked by the Voodoo Gang, and it was very likely that her brain would be burned in a second, and there was no time to maneuver.

So Tang Yu could only try to give it a go, believing that the AI god in the cyberspace would help.

Cyberspace.

Lucy finally waited for several members of the Voodoo Gang to appear, and decisively ran the ICE provided by the network monitoring to help lock on hostile targets.

Red codes are locked towards the voodoo people, shackling the voodoo people like a data chain.

Just as she successfully launched an attack and was about to escape, an unknown program immediately imprisoned her, ripped her out of the solid program, and the concealment program was cracked.

Lucy is ambushed by the Voodoo hackers.

Soon.

There are several deep-hidden voodoo hackers, who emerge from the Void Data Fragments, led by a woman who can be seen from her physical appearance.

The other party scanned Lucy's consciousness at great speed, his gaze moving like an electric current across every digital cell in her body.

"You're not a cyber watchdog."

Lucy couldn't break free and didn't make any reply.

But in cyberspace, no secret can be hidden, this is the world of numbers, even the secret thoughts in the heart will become digital codes.

The other party's hacking skills are extremely high, almost cleverly bypassing Lucy's personal ICE, and reading the deepest memories in her consciousness.

The reason why it is necessary to bypass rather than disintegrate the ICE is to prevent the data flow of the target consciousness body from collapsing and becoming data fragments, and it will be difficult to retrieve them.

In cyberspace, there is no difference between killing a consciousness data and killing itself.

"Turns out you're an absconding hacker from Arasaka."

Lucy could feel the memory data being called up little by little, uncontrollably released.

She tried her best to resist being read more information by the other party, because there was a memory of Tang Yu's ability in the back, and once it was leaked, there would be endless consequences.

Suddenly.

Lucy sensed a new program and was trying to enter her body, and heard Tang Yu's words popping up in her head again.

"I'll use the path you already have to teleport you to the Black Wall, where there is outside help that can save you."

Support beyond the black walls?

Lucy didn't hesitate, and immediately let go of her resistance to the procedure, allowing it to run through her body automatically.

Suddenly.

Lucy teleported to a red and blue vertical striped fence with an endless black curtain on the opposite side.

She was all too familiar with the place, the red striped fence was the black wall that separated the old net.

As a young woman, Lucy used to work at Arasaka and was tasked with climbing beyond the black walls to dig up information.

So I kept in mind the path to the black wall, and the way to climb over it.

With Tang Yu's help, she reached the edge of the black wall, followed by the hackers of the Voodoo Gang, and the released program was still firmly locked on her.

Suddenly.

An unsolicited piece of data suddenly appeared in Lucy's memory database, and images flashed one after another.

Lucy couldn't help but be stunned.

Where do these sudden memories come from?

And it's all about a man with silver arms, always wearing sunglasses, who likes to spit and swear.

"It's just two people who are willing to spread their legs to you, it's too miserable"

"Okay! Is it really that hard? Please, smoke one for me! ”

"No kidding. How can I have the kung fu to be a guitar master, Lao Tzu is busy changing the life of this world. ”

"Ott, how did your temper come endlessly."

"Otto, please, wake up, grass, what the hell have you done!"

This memory data that suddenly poured out of Lucy's memory was immediately keenly captured by the Voodoo Gang hackers, and after reading the contents, it seemed unbelievable.

"How do you have these memories?!"

As soon as the words fell.

I saw that the cyberspace around me suddenly stagnated, and all the data flows seemed to be frozen and stagnant, motionless.

In this digital dimension, time seems to be stripped away, and everything comes to a standstill.

Followed by.

The environment around cyberspace has changed dramatically.

A tall, giant data stream humanoid appeared out of thin air, standing outside the black wall, like a red giant.

"Johnny."

"You have Johnny's mark on you."

The red giant seemed to be looking at Lucy, emitting an ethereal voice through the black wall.

The hackers of the "Ultra Cunningham" Voodoo Gang were also surprised to see the sudden arrival of the red giant, and they were not mentally prepared for the various situations that had just happened.

She had no idea how Lucy had teleported to the Black Wall, and used her memory to summon Ultra Cunningham beyond the Black Wall.

Apparently.

Ultra is outside the black wall, but his sensing ability and technical means have already penetrated into the black wall.

This black wall is not an airtight wall to her.

I'm afraid that in Ott's opinion, it is impossible to dismantle the black wall for the time being, but it is easy to quietly implant some programs into the black wall.

But before the voodoo hackers could say anything, several blue streams of data light fell from the sky and went straight to the top of their heads.

The hackers of the Voodoo Gang knelt down in pain, holding their brains and wailing, and the consciousness data disappeared into the cyberspace in an instant, and the program blockade on Lucy's body was lifted.

"Who brought you here?" After Ott solved the voodoo gang hackers, he asked bluntly.

Before Lucy could reply, voices came to her head again, asking her to repeat them to the Red Giant.

"He asked me to tell you that Johnny was used as a soul killer by the people of Arasaka, and the soul mark was locked up in the shrine."

Ultra's ethereal voice said slowly, "I recognize Johnny's imprint code"

She already knew the result.

Lucy struggled to control her emotions and continued to speak: "It was Johnny who broke into the Arasaka Tower and rescued you from the Arasaka subnet. ”

Ott: "I really don't want to be trapped in the Arasaka Mikoshi, and if your goal is to clean up the voodoo hackers, then that's done now."

When Lucy heard Tang Yu's words in her mind, her face suddenly tightened, and she hesitated whether to say it or not.

"He, he asked me to bring you a message for Johnny."

Ott: "Say it. ”

Lucy said with a little embarrassment: "Johnny said that you are very moist, and he is also a digital imprint now, and asked if you can continue the front edge."

Ott: "It's impossible, I'm no longer my original self, you can go."

With a wave of the red giant's hand, Lucy retreated back to her place and appeared near the source of the network surveillance signal.

Seeing that the remaining voodoo gang hackers had been frozen by the cyber surveillance ICE, she directly initiated the retreat procedure.

In the dive room.

"Ahem! Ahem"

Lucy inhaled sharply, coughed violently twice, and shook her body involuntarily.

When she opened her eyes in a daze, she found that Tang Yu was standing next to her, trying her best to get up and sit up, but due to the long time of deep diving, she was a little weak and couldn't use her strength.

Tang Yu saw that she had woken up, pulled out the interface at the back of her head for her, and helped her to stand up from the water tank, and the ice water slid down her delicate skin.

The clean blanket was handed over, and Lucy draped it over her back and thanked her softly.

"Thank you."

Lucy knew that it was Tang Yu who rescued her in the cyberspace just now, and if it weren't for his help, I am afraid that she would sleep in the cyberspace like the Voodoo gang hackers.

Tang Yu said bluntly: "No thanks, just leave the rest to me." ”

He saw that Lucy had safely finished his diving mission, and all that was left was to attack the voodoo gang's lair.

Tang Yu turned around and went out to talk to Mosley about follow-up.

Lucy looked at his departing figure and stood in the water tank in a daze.

The memory that Tang Yu transmitted to her was still in her mind at the moment, and this was the first time she knew Tang Yu's memory.

The uncle named Johnny, who likes to wear sunglasses, cry and beg to smoke, and can play the guitar, should be the friend Tang Yu mentioned before.

Lucy couldn't imagine how Uncle Rock and the company's top brass could get together.

But judging from the content of the memory, the two of them seem to be in good shape.

Recalling this wonderful memory, she couldn't help but smile.

Not tonight.

It's been a busy year at the end of the year, and I hope you all are safe and sound.

Thanks to the following gold owners for their tips.
