Chapter 67: The Fallen Stars
"Hurry up if you want to do anything, I can't hold on anymore!"
Plasidy's attack was strange, attracting countless bands of light on the pillar of light hanging above his head, like a stick tied to the tentacles of a large mass.
Then the tentacles waved in the air, and bandage-like lines appeared out of thin air around the frantic personality consciousness in the distance, binding them firmly in place.
"What the hell is this?"
"Information flow attack, what you see is the concretization of concepts, appearing in front of you in a form that you can understand."
"Okay, what should we do?"
Li Ji took a deep breath and looked at Xiaosha beside him.
"Although I don't want to hit you, you should find a place to hide now, because my authority is bound to you, and once you are forced offline, I can't stay in cyberspace."
Li Ji was dumbfounded, he never expected that he could only be used as an antenna now, and the stupid pestle was in place.
"Looks like my attack here won't work against her......"
There was no way, Li Ji could only stand aside and watch the two giants in front of him fight together.
How to say it, it is different from his imagination that you punch and I kick back and forth, and countless tentacles seem to appear on the two of them out of thin air, constantly entangled, squeezed, and even fused.
Li Ji's head was a little dizzy when he saw it this time.
However, although Li Ji was a little incomprehensible, it did not prevent him from judging the situation in the field.
In its opinion, Xiaosha and Plasidy were a little defeated, and the body of the crazy personality consciousness body was expanding rapidly.
"It's now!"
Plasidi let out a cold roar, and then Li Ji saw that his consciousness body was like being drunk, and he fell headlong into the black wall.
In the next moment, the tall body seemed to turn into a super-large ball of light formed by the gathering of countless worms, and one after another insects peeled off from its body, binding it in the space next to it.
As if the sound of glass breaking sounded in the air, Plasidi exclaimed, "She's going to flee to the other side of the black wall!" Stop her! ”
After speaking, his whole body seemed to burn with red flames, and a huge pillar of light fell from the sky, enveloping the personality consciousness body.
On the other side, Li Ji saw the worms that fell to the side, as if they had been pulled by something, and floated towards the sky.
"Xiaosha, what's going on?"
"Some of the wandering AIs want to devour the personality consciousness body, but Brigitta seems to have given up the control of these personalities, wanting to send 300,000 people back to reality, and then use the wandering AI to forcibly squeeze through the gap in the black wall and smuggle them over."
"What about the consequences?"
"These personality consciousness has just experienced the counterattack of the black wall in the cyberspace, and their self-awareness has been reduced to a minimum, if you go back like this, according to your previous research, I am afraid that those 300,000 people will suffer from cyber psychosis because of this."
Brigitta can't be allowed to get his way! Gotta think about it.
Li Ji's brain was spinning rapidly, and at this moment, a bold idea appeared.
"Xiaosha, you just said that they are not AI, but a collection of personality consciousness, right?"
"Yes."
If this is the case, it may be possible to pull them into the ocean of the collective human subconscious and reposition them as human anchors!
If Li Ji can summon that golden ocean in the cyberspace......
Li Ji felt a bit mysterious, he was just a consciousness now, and he had never tried to use his ability in the cyberspace.
"It's a mule or a horse, you have to take it out."
"Mechanical Mind!"
Suddenly, Li Ji felt that everything he could see had changed.
There is no longer any indescribable concrete existence in the sight, only a large area of nothingness.
And in the void, messages seemed to appear naturally in his heart.
"Subsidiary AI permissions rewritten by 68%"
"89% of the target logic is missing"
"Encountered unknown code overwrite, to initiate permission clearance, countdown to 3 seconds."
……
Information like this was poured into Li Ji's mind, and he "saw" something because of this.
And at this time, he also understood the essence of the black wall.
That's the radio wave exchange that flows between every communicator, that's the underlying code behind every billboard on the street, that's the defense code that is written at the moment of all intelligent interactive terminals.
The same code protocol that all the devices in the world can network abide by is the black wall.
The so-called streaming AI is a vicious virus that tries to break more code in the network after breaking through its own underlying code.
Once the black wall is broken, everything in the network will be completely defenseless for AI, and any low-level AI can control 90% of the world's operating systems in a matter of seconds.
Everything from the slightest click on the Internet to the national strategic missile launch button, everything will collapse under the AI's thoughts.
"Next, the ocean of the collective human subconscious, appear."
In the void, a golden river rose on Li Ji's body, and for the first time in this unknown space, an existence that could be described could be concretely described.
And in Placidi's perspective, Li Ji's figure was suddenly infinitely raised, and he actually felt flush with the black wall in a trance!
And with a wave of Li Ji's hand, layers of soft golden light rippled around him, wrapping the "worms" that peeled off from the crazy personality consciousness body, escorting them out of the cyberspace.
As layers of "worms" were sent away, the body of the personality consciousness collective continued to shrink, and gradually, Brigitta was revealed.
"Brigita, stop! Do you want to watch your people become cybermaniacs? ”
"It's too late, Plasidy, I've seen the truth."
Brigitta waved both hands and used her remaining strength to control the two "worms" and threw them to Li Ji far away.
That bought her less than a second.
Looking at the black wall that was close at hand, Brigitta did not hesitate and jumped towards this huge light curtain.
On the other side, the wandering AIs who had been waiting for a long time were scrambling to squeeze over, seemingly treating Brigitta as a delicious meal.
And less than a thousandth of a second after Brigita's body passed through the black wall, she finally jumped out of the LAN cage, and the invisible signal connected to the distant other side in an instant.
There have been rumors in Night City that the Voodoo Gang are inextricably linked to the International Space Station hanging in the sky, and only the leader Brigitta knows that such rumors are not groundless, but they are just helping the big guys wipe their butts and do some dirty work.
But as the top hacker, isn't it natural to leave a way out for yourself in the middle of the mission?
The unfettered radio waves traveled through the air, pointing to the distant universe, and next to the magnificent International Space Station, a military satellite from Arasaka deviated from its orbit under the control of Brigitta and smashed down on the earth.
"No, what are you going to do!"
Plasidi seemed to have guessed Brigitta's intentions and struggled to run towards the black wall, but in the world of the Internet, a little distance is just a stone's throw away.
"Since there is no way to create a peaceful and prosperous era, then it is up to you to lead the people to protect themselves in the coming troubled times."
No one knew what Brigita saw behind the Black Wall, and in Plasidy's sight, she faded into the depths of the light curtain, along with the wandering AIs.
In the air, under the combined efforts of Li Ji and Xiaosha, 300,000 human consciousnesses were sent back to their respective bodies, and Li Ji also returned to normal.
"What's going on? What about Brigitta? ”
"Gone, but if I'm not mistaken, she threw a satellite to the ground after breaking through the black wall."
"Is she going to destroy Night City?"
"If it's Night City, it's easy to do......"
Plasidy sighed, and then made up his mind, he also went to the Black Wall!
