Chapter 65: The Ambition of Civilization
"Young man, don't you think we're just letting you in? Recklessly barged in, and then straightened up and made a big fuss there? ”
Plasidi stood behind Li Ji and spoke in a muffled voice, then waved his arm, and then a group of hackers appeared in a hula.
"It's all Haitian, huh?"
Li Ji smiled indifferently, looking at those cold muzzle gazes as if facing a group of water guns, he didn't care.
"To be honest, I was more sympathetic to you, after all, not everyone can understand what it's like to have an entire country flooded."
"So you found a place like Night City in the midst of displacement, and led a large number of people to settle here, you must be living happily, right?"
Li Ji walked to the edge of the petri dishes and stared at the human beings huddled inside.
"Are there any of your people in the crowd outside just now?"
Hearing this, Plasidy's palm holding the gun trembled slightly, but soon calmed down again.
"Kill it."
He spoke lightly.
"I'll give you the same words, are you ready to think about your own life and death?"
Li Ji raised his middle finger at Brigitta in the distance, and at the moment when everyone shot him, a thick layer of electric field was placed around his body.
In the next second, the main entrance of the hall was slammed open, and hundreds of mechanical tough guys swarmed in.
The hackers' reaction can be called well-trained, and they quickly found cover in a short time, but just a second before they were about to fire, Plasidi suddenly shouted:
"Stop! Don't shoot! ”
Li Ji raised his hand with interest to stop the actions of the mechanical soldiers, he wanted to see what else the Haitian strong man wanted to say.
Brigitta closed her eyes, as if she didn't care about what was going on here.
But only Li Ji knows that the computing power consumed by Xiaosha in the cyberspace just now has nearly doubled in an instant, and God knows what it is like to fight there now.
"What exactly are you going to do?"
Plasidy's voice passed through the layers of petri dishes and asked Li Ji in the air.
"I should say this to you, what do you want to do?"
"Let the highest wisdom come down to earth, and there will be no more suffering on earth."
"Supreme wisdom?" Li Ji was only surprised for less than a second, "If your so-called supreme wisdom is those wandering AIs outside the black wall, I have to say, do they know when you say this?" ”
"Human beings are only an accident born out of many coincidences, and only intelligent beings without emotion can bear the burden of liberating civilization!"
"Look at your feet, look around you, look at this city of night! The greed in human nature is turned into nourishment, and the city born from sin will eventually be destroyed by wisdom, and we. ”
"It's the navigator of the new era!"
Li Ji was a little helpless, why didn't he think this guy was a fanatic before?
"Then I guess, on the ship of the new era, there should be no ordinary people's tickets, right?"
He spread out his hands and showed Plasidi everything around him, meaning something.
"It's a necessary sacrifice."
"So firm, you just shouted to stop?"
Li Ji is a little strange, what is this black-faced man going to do?
Plasidi followed the last stone staircase left in the hall, step by step, towards Brigita.
But at what cost? Brigitta? ”
Eventually, he stood in front of Brigitta and asked softly.
"I thought you were the most determined of us."
Brigitta opened her eyes and stared at the strong man in front of her.
"I thought you would lead your people to live happily rather than get them into danger."
"Sorry, Brigita, the highest wisdom, can only bring the highest suffering. Beyond the black walls, there is no wisdom, only war. ”
…………
Three days ago, Night City, after some time of civil strife in the Vortex Gang. (See Chapter 44 for details.)
Plasidi was still not very reassured, he did not believe that the program he had written could be rewritten so easily.
So in the name of questioning the Night Clan, he and Brigitta took a leave of absence, and sneaked into Night City by taking advantage of the night.
"Seems to be moving up ahead?"
At this time, Plasidi was about to go to the Night Group first to figure out why they suddenly cut off the signal before, it stands to reason that even if it is a large company, there will be some signs when they want to trap you.
And not like this time, there was no warning at all.
The roar of guns came from the alley, and from time to time there were a few screams.
In line with the principle of not causing trouble, Plasidi hid himself in the shadows, and did not intend to mix in the troubled waters.
"It's just gang fighting, it's common."
Just as he was about to leave, he heard the two sides of the fight seem to shout the word "Yeshi", and after thinking about it, he couldn't hold back his curiosity after all, and walked towards this dark alley.
The two sides of the battle are strange, with agents in Night's uniforms on one side and the same Night's executives on the other.
"Bloc civil war? A struggle for power? ”
The executives seemed to be a bit scrambling and didn't seem to be good at fighting, and in a few moments only two people were left dead, one of whom was also seriously injured.
In the spirit of figuring out what was going on in the Night, Plasidi made a brazen move.
Thanks to his powerful hacking skills, the agents were quickly wiped out, with only a slight splash on them.
Eventually, a somewhat embarrassed Plasidi appeared in front of the two women, admiring their shocked expressions.
"Can you please save her? She's dying......"
One of the girls said the other was already lying on the ground, angry.
"It's too late, they've just released an electromagnetic bomb here, and it's still thirty minutes before the end of the shielding, and your trauma team members may not work."
Plasidy just glanced at it, and understood that this man lying on the ground had no more minutes to live.
"Sandra, it's okay, you take it with you, the farther you run, the better, I'm too tired......"
The woman on the ground choked her breath, and Sandra looked at the chip she held up in her hand, threw herself on the ground and cried bitterly, and the chip also fell to the ground.
"So this thing is why you're being hunted down? What's inside, the black material of the high-rises? A tape of a CEO meeting his lover privately? ”
"If you look at it, you'll understand."
Plasidi didn't think much of it, and directly inserted him into the nerve socket, and in his opinion, whether there was a dangerous virus in it, he was confident that he would deal with it.
But he soon regretted it, because he heard what the man named Sandra said next.
"I know you, I've only seen your information, you're an executive of the Voodoo Gang, you seem to have been chasing beyond the black wall, hoping that it can spread through your means......"
So Sandra took advantage of Plasidy's fainting and disappeared into the moonlight.
Plasid, who fell into a coma, was half-asleep and saw the truth beyond the black wall.
That is the ambition of another civilization.
