Cyberspace.

In a sea of blue data, Lucy's consciousness data is condensed and successfully merged with the network monitoring diving team.

This is a rare group diving operation, and the person in charge is Senior Agent Moseley.

In order to complete the deal with Arasaka, Moseley deliberately rushed back to Night City from his headquarters.

In the deep diving team, in addition to Mosley and Lucy, two agents from other regions were summoned to the greatest extent, plus project supervisor Chefer, a total of five people, and the lineup can be described as strong.

The main purpose of their operation is to assist and supervise the Arasaka Corporation's deep diving agents, summoning Ultra Cunningham to negotiate outside the black walls of cyberspace.

The cyber monitoring team communicates with the Arasaka Deep Diving team, and a few moments later, the two teams officially converge in Cyberspace.

In order to ensure the smooth operation of the summons, the network monitoring team is in a state of 'stealth'.

Moseley relayed a predetermined and reliable procedural passage to Arasaka Deep Dive Agents, so that both sides could return the same way after climbing over the black wall.

The blue digitized Mosley raised his palm and flicked it lightly, and the scene around everyone changed, and they arrived in front of the black wall in an instant.

This is the location of the network surveillance channel, and it is also the most stable access channel in the entire black wall.

There are many black wall vulnerabilities, but most of them are unstable and will change and disappear with the flow of data.

When encountering drastic changes in data flow interference, you may just climb over the black wall and turn back and find no way out.

Agent Arasaka takes the lead with a summoning tool, which is loaded with some of Johnny's memories and can be tentatively attracted to Ultra Cunningham from the vast old net.

Moseley implanted a concealment program for the crowd, which would give them a layer of disguise.

Not surprisingly, they are indistinguishable from ethereal data fragments, evading almost all scans.

Lucy felt that the situation might not be so simple, and the reason why she did not refuse to participate in the operation was to find out the real purpose of the transaction.

She knew that Tang Yu attached great importance to this matter, whether it was Johnny Silver Hand, Ott Cunningham, the old network streaming AI, or the cyberspace matrix, these were all involved with Tang Yu.

While solving these mysteries, she can also unravel the knots in her heart that have been troubled for a long time.

Before leaving, Moseley made a final admonition: "After entering the old net, the black wall can no longer provide us with sufficient protection, everything must be done according to orders, and in case of emergency, we are not allowed to escape without permission." ”

In the data state, Lucy couldn't see everyone's looks, but she could hear Moseley's tone that he was afraid of Otter Cunningham.

This soul AI, who has been on the number one blacklist of online surveillance, may have unimaginable authority in the online world.

The group followed Moseley, rushed through the black wall, and made their way to the point according to the predetermined plan.

Bypassing layers of data fragmentation obstacles and electronic viruses, I passed by a few dazed wandering AIs and flew around, and it didn't take long to reach my destination.

The Arasaka team has already begun to set up a summoning program, which only needs to release the memory data of Johnny Silverhand, and the specific algorithm flow of the data will attract attention to it.

Lucy follows the team, hiding in the shattered data matrix around her, waiting for Ott Cunningham to arrive.

As the fragments of Johnny's silver hand's memory data were released, a series of images of him played.

"Ott, didn't you say you weren't coming tonight?"

"Ott, Ott! Can you step on a horse, don't turn your face faster than turning a book, and don't recognize Lao Tzu just after you finish it? ”

"Arasaka must have kidnapped Ultra to get revenge on me"

Lucy is no stranger to this summoning ritual, when she encountered the Voodoo Gang in Cyberspace, it was Tang Yu who used the memory of Johnny's Silver Hand in his mind to summon Ultra.

She believes that Ott will come, but may not be as forgiving as last time.

Moseley and the others were in full array, and they didn't dare to slack off when they met Ott outside the black wall.

A moment later.

A huge red data figure came from far and near, and the huge data group was like a mountain, looking down on the people below, full of oppression.

It's Ott Cunningham!

Even when she saw Ott for the second time, Lucy couldn't help but be horrified, because this time Ott was obviously more 'stronger' than the last time, and Ott was still growing and growing on top of the old net, all the time.

Lucy can't imagine how far Ultra has 'learned', and even doubts that the fragile Black Wall AI can keep up with Ultra's evolution.

Perhaps, Ott has long been able to tear through the black wall, but she may be waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to completely change the human world.

Agent Arasaka was quick to express the purpose of his trip, asking Otter Cunningham how to destroy the Soul Slayer program.

"Lord Lai Xuan wants to make this deal with you, and we will try our best to meet your request."

Ott Cunningham looked down at Agent Arasaka, his broad and profound tone as mysterious as the depths of the sea, echoing through the infinite cyberspace.

"The body that binds consciousness is the greatest obstacle to human ignorance."

"I am no longer me, and you will usher in a new life."

Before Arasaka could get the answer they wanted, they saw rays of light emerge from the void and pierce directly above their heads.

"Ahhh!!h

The Arasaka Deep Diver agents hugged their heads and wailed, and the pain was incomparable!

Soul killer?

Moseley and the others were also taken aback, never expecting that Ott Cunningham would not give Arasaka any chance at all.

He immediately ordered: "Mark Ott Cunningham!" Retreat now! ”

"What?!" Lucy was amazed, and expressed her incomprehension of Moseley's command, and dared to mark Ott Cunningham at this time, what is the difference between looking for death?

If online surveillance could flag Otter Cunningham, it would be possible to track her whereabouts and deter her movements in a targeted manner.

Moseley's idea was good, but the result was not always as good as it could have been.

I saw a thin beam of data shoot out from Moseley's eyes, directly hit Ott Cunningham, and quickly dissolved into her body, this blatant act immediately caught Ott's attention.

The level of cyber surveillance concealment procedures is so high that even Ultra Cunningham can hardly detect their presence without a careful and meticulous search of the vicinity.

But now that the position is actively exposed, even if there is a concealment program on the body, it will be quickly screened out.

Before Lucy could escape, she felt that the data body was firmly fixed, and the flow of data around her was sluggish.

"Oops."

Moseley quickly countered and launched an offensive against Ott.

"You guys are fast"

Before he could finish speaking, the same light pierced his head, and he was immediately treated in the same way as Arasaka's deep diving agent.

Lucy's heart was beating wildly, and she didn't dare to look back at this scene, and the four people behind her launched a miserable wail one after another.

She could only close her eyes and prepare for the same fate.

Wait until everything settles down.

She felt a little strange, as if she hadn't been caught in the light in her head.

Slowly opening her eyes, Lucy found herself inside the black wall, back to where she had started.

She hurriedly looked up and looked beyond the black wall fence, and found Ott floating outside, quietly overlooking.

"Why?" Lucy was surprised and puzzled that Ott would take the initiative to let herself go.

Ott Cunningham was speechless, staring at her for a moment before drifting away.

Only Lucy, who was left stunned, was stunned and didn't know why.

"Ahem, cough, cough"

Inside the safe house, Lucy coughed violently and struggled to get up from the water tank covered with ice slag.

She pulled out the deep dive port behind her head regardless of the pain, and she had to tell Tang Yu everything now.

Arasaka and the network surveillance agents were all burned to death, and Otter Cunningham had no desire to cooperate, and the most important thing was that Ott let himself go.

Lucy could smell the smell of conspiracy here, which was related to what Tang Yu cared about the most.

She was covered in water, she didn't care about wiping it, she stumbled and lay down on the sofa in the living room, and her prosthetic eyes turned to call Tang Yu, but she found that no one answered for a long time.

Lucy retracted her gaze, and when she was about to send a message to Tang Yu, she saw the broadcast content on the projection TV.

Suddenly, the pupils narrowed.

"Tang Yu?!"

Cambi Mansion.

V disconnects from Xiao Pingtou and has just used Xiao Pingtou to get the hotel security hacker and unlock the ban on the top suite.

Now she can go directly to the top of the building, directly to her destination, in Yoshinobu Arasaka's suite.

Instant messaging.

Jack: "Girl, how is the mission going, I've already set my eyes on Dexter, I can't imagine that we are going to kill him." ”

V: "This is Night City, he's not a good guy anyway, Don said Fat Black killed his best friend, do you know who it is?" ”

Jack: "How do I know, he doesn't have many friends, and if you think about it, Lao Wei and I are all alive and well, and I don't mention the gang in his company, there is no good thing." ”

V: "I've got it done here, I'm ready to come up right away and keep in touch." ”

V picked up the scabbard from the table in his guest room, and after going out, he walked straight to the public elevator.

Just past two security guards, walking in the direction of her room, they heard a conversation.

"Roger, room 1506 privileges are discontinued, and we're here shortly."

V felt that the situation was abnormal, room 1506 was a room opened by Tang Yu for her, why was it suddenly deactivated?

She immediately hurried to the elevator and pressed the lift button.

Suddenly, she heard the security guard on the other side of the hotel corridor, who had just passed by, turn back and shout.

"Hello, please wait a minute! Your stay has been suspended! You need to work with us."

V didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and as soon as the elevator door opened, he rushed in, and went directly to the top floor, Arasaka Yoritobu's room.

Upon arriving at the room, she pulled out her long knife and walked to the floor where her target was hidden, stabbing it down.

The sharp blade is embedded in the crevices of the floor traps, then pry hard.

Under the action of a strong external force, the hidden organ prohibition was seriously damaged, and a few sparks emerged, raising a desk.

At this time.

A large number of security teams could already be heard going upstairs in the hotel, and V didn't care to hack the crack switch, and once again inserted a blade into the gap of the desk mechanism to forcibly pry open the guard.

Seeing the target cargo, a black suitcase, she immediately lifted it.

In the communication, Jack said urgently: "Sister, the situation seems to be wrong, it seems that Arasaka Lai Xuan is going back, and the Arasaka team is rushing to the hotel, you be careful!" ”

Holding a black box in one hand and a 'sue' in the other, V saw that the hotel security team had rushed into the suite, and quickly shot at her.

She crouched down to avoid the gunfire, and when the gunfire stopped, she didn't hesitate to activate Sianweistan, which was as fast as lightning.

Whew!

Several security personnel were sliced.

V didn't stay too long, went straight to the rooftop from the stairs of the living room, broke the curfew with a long knife, and then came to the roof of the hotel.

A Arasaka private luxury floating car was parked, the door was open, and it was left by Tang Yu for her evacuation.

As soon as V was about to step into the floating car, a large field of bullets erupted around him.

Bang bang bang!

Bullets rained down.

V didn't have time to dodge, and felt a sudden sharp pain in his right foot.

""

She didn't care about her feet, so she could only hold the black box, and did her best to start Sianweistein, and crashed into the floating car, which avoided the fire.

Bullets frantically hit the floating roof of the car, shooting out dense craters.

"Fortunately, the horse is strong enough," V sighed as he looked at the movement on the roof of the car.

The floating doors close automatically, the engine starts, and it takes off directly.

V leaned against the edge of the electronic mirror screen and checked the situation outside, only to see that a Arasaka armed floating vehicle was still attacking.

At this time, the intelligent voice prompt in the floating car.

"Navigating to Watson's Little Chinatown"

"The destination is being revised, and we will soon depart for navigation to the headquarters of Arasaka Tower in Kyoto"

Arasaka headquarters?

V didn't care about the pain and scolded: "Made, who said to go to the Arasaka headquarters? Parking for Lao Tzu! Fast! ”

The floating car rose higher and higher, completely ignoring the bullets and artillery fire.

V carried the box and used a knife and pestle to drill into front of the vehicle's console, and saw various electronic color buttons, and did not know how to control them at all.

Enraged, she lifted her long knife and slashed it down, frantically destroying the console.

The sharp blade sliced through the countertop shell, revealing the electronic version of the circuit inside, sizzling electric sparks.

"Fault! Emergency Breakdown! A hard landing is coming! ”

V scolded: "What a stupid * floating car, go to Nima's Kyoto Arasaka headquarters, and destroy Lao Tzu!" ”

As the long knife was embedded in the countertop, the entire float engine lost control and began to shake and fall to the ground.

Seeing that the plan was successful, V hurriedly returned to the box, turned on the safety emergency mode, and fastened the seat belt at the same time.

She clutched the safe in her arms and sighed angrily.

"Made, if you don't die this time, if you wear a suit, I haven't played with you in my life!"

The luxury float swooped down towards the ground with thick black smoke.

The jolt was like an earthquake, and V had to hold on to the box.

Rumble.

The floating car crashed into a secluded street, rubbing and sliding forward on the ground with the inertia of the powerful impact, knocking down a string of street lamps and garbage cans on the road one after another, and finally blocking in front of the wall of an abandoned building.

The pursuing Arasaka armed floating car, suspended in the air, found the target that fell to the ground.

Saburo Arasaka's exclusive float car was badly damaged, but the shell frame remained largely unchanged.

Just as the Arasaka armed float was about to land, a missile came from a high altitude with a tail flame and hit it directly.

Thundered!

The Arasaka Armed Float was destroyed in an instant, turning into a cloud of flaming mushrooms and falling directly to the ground.

And in the direction from which the missile came, a helicopter was hurrying over.

The cabin door opened, and Rogge put down the barrel on his shoulder, looked at the luxury floating car that remained on the ground, and said.

"I hope we didn't come late, otherwise we wouldn't be able to explain to Tang."

There's another chapter a little later.
