Chapter 370: The Return Flight
The dark sea of clouds is layered on top of each other, and the bright moonlight has lost the light of the city, and the glory seems to appear more pure and white, like wisps of silver yarn through the clouds of different densities, refracting silver filaments like rain.
The white airliner passed through the sea of clouds, the orange light scattered on the surface of the silver-stained clouds, and the flashing warning lights were like a red star in the sky.
With the help of the moonlight, Lin Mo was able to see the outside world through the porthole, and the clouds reflecting the silver light were so thick that people seemed to be able to step on them with their feet, and the view was full of this monotonous but spectacular cloud world, which made people feel comfortable and comfortable from the bottom of their hearts.
"When the sun comes out and the sky is bright, we'll be back in Night City." Sasha sat beside him, the same VIP seats, each with a certain distance between them, leaving enough private space for each distinguished passenger.
Lucy, who sat in a position at the front, turned her head and glanced at it, and joined the conversation and said:
"It's really emotional, I always feel like I've been away for a long time, and I don't seem to have been away for long, and I haven't seen Jack and Kitagawa for a long time, and I still remember what happened before I left."
At this time, Rebecca, who was sitting in the front, also stretched out her little head, revealing a pair of ponytails and small eyes from the top of the back of the chair, looked at Sasha and Lin Mo sitting behind, and echoed:
"It's not that the days in China are too boring, I have to go out every day to find someone's clues, although it's not very boring to play around, but the life there is still not as exciting as Night City, after playing for so long, except for a few things I can still remember, I have forgotten all the rest."
"Eh, isn't that the value of the photo? At that time, I would take a lot of photos of every city I visited, and if Rebecca wanted to reminisce, I could send you some of them. Sasha's eyes lit up slightly, and he raised his hand and pointed to his head, as if to say that the photos were stored on his own processor.
"Who wants to remember those things." Rebecca muttered dissatisfied.
"Speaking of which, I don't seem to have heard the details of your trip yet, Sasha only told me a little bit about it before, and now it's still some distance away from Night City, why don't you tell me about your trip to China?" Lin Mo asked with interest.
"Do you want to see the pictures? I'll send you a copy if you need one? Sasha asked, then Lucy and Rebecca:
"Are you all okay?"
"No comment."
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Mo glanced at Sasha curiously and asked, "What type of photo?" ”
"See for yourself."
A few blue glimmers flashed in Sasha's eyes, and messages were transmitted to Lin Mo's processor through the small LAN on the plane.
Finding that a message was coming, Lin Mo opened his chat channel curiously, and the data panel in front of him quickly displayed clear and beautiful pictures.
Some of these images were taken on the moon, with a beautiful blue sphere in the background, and the faces of Sasha and Lucy occupy most of the photo, both of them grinning and looking very happy.
This kind of innocent happiness revealed from the photo couldn't help but amuse Lin Mo, and the corners of his mouth slowly showed a smile.
Continuing to scroll through the pictures, he soon saw photos with other backgrounds, some of which were the background of the three girls standing on the top of the mountain; Some have a backdrop to the endless prairie; Some are cities that rain at night, and the rain splashes on the ground to form pools, reflecting the brilliance of the city, so that the sky and the world are hazy neon lights, and the three girls drag umbrellas and walk alone on the streets where there is no one in the heavy rain.
Just when Lin Mo watched it with relish, and then when he turned to the last few photos and witnessed the pictures on the photos, the expression on his face that was originally determined to watch the fun suddenly became very "wonderful".
"That's how you test cadres?" The corners of Lin Mo's eyes twitched, and he looked at Sasha beside him with a helpless look.
Sasha's mouth couldn't suppress the evil smile after the success of his "prank", and his eyes narrowed, and the look revealed from his eyes was full of playfulness and playfulness.
"But aren't you happy to see it?" She asked softly.
Rebecca looked over curiously, her head resting on top of the chair, almost lying on it: "Huh? What did you show Momo Kobayashi? ”
"These are the pictures," Sasha said, sending them to Rebecca and Lucy in passing:
"Didn't we have a lot of fun at the beginning? And you also carried that water cannon gun to shoot on the shooting range, but unfortunately you didn't shoot a video, otherwise I will definitely help you recall how bright the smile on your face was at that time, when you were depressed for a while because you didn't have a gun to play, and it was after this game that you barely cheered up.
”
However, Rebecca didn't listen to her anymore, and she lay on her chair dumbfounded, her eyes twinkling to check the picture of Saza coming
- In several photos, the background is the blue sea, Rebecca, Lucy and Sasha in swimsuits are all doing different things, the bare skin under the sun seems to be as moist as shiny, the beautiful body and beautiful body curves are reminiscent of the artist's drawings, only on the pictures can there be such a beautiful scene that people can only admire the thoughts without defilement.
These photos also make people can't take their eyes off it, and take out any wallpaper that can be used as a computer.
In addition to Rebecca's photos...
Compared to the other two ladies, her swimsuit really doesn't give you any sense of expectation...
It's better to say that she used to wear a similar outfit like this, and now she looks at the picture of her playing in the sea in the same thin clothes.
...... Except for the water bomb gun in her hand, which added a lot of childlike innocence and purity to her and washed away the arrogance of the past, there seemed to be nothing worth admiring.
"Sasha!" Rebecca suddenly became angry, she stared at the culprit "viciously", but the corner of her eye couldn't help but glance at Lin Mo on the side, observing the latter's demeanor.
The latter's eyes were still shining with blue light, and he looked like he was "hanging high on his own", as if he was still watching the messages and did not say anything about the photos.
Rebecca breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked at Sasha unrelentingly, clearly resentful of Sasha's behavior of sending the photo out of nowhere.
"The main thing is that most of these photos are of the three of us together... And it's a bit too much, and it's hard for me to distinguish between them... And don't you want Lin Mo to know about our original travel experience? Sasha appeared very innocent, and she didn't understand why Rebecca was reacting so much.
If there are a few photos that make Rebecca more embarrassed, then among so many photos, there are not no ugly photos of her and Lucy...
Am I doing something wrong? Sasha, who was puzzled, finally asked Rebecca through a private chat channel.
[No, well, it's none of your business," Rebecca said sullenly.
At the same time, in reality, she also lowered her head in distress and muttered:
"It's not that I don't want him to know... It is... Alas, forget it, I won't say it! ”
She simply turned around and lay down in her chair, ignoring what was happening behind her.
But the truth is that in these photos, with Lucy and Sasha as a backdrop, every photo always looks like a child... And now that he was seen by Lin Mo, even if the latter didn't care about it, Rebecca, who was sensitive, still felt a little embarrassed.
At this moment, Rebecca couldn't help but turn her head to the side and observe Lucy's face.
But Lucy didn't show the expression she expected, looking at her photo being appreciated by Lin Mo, Lucy's cheeks were only slightly rosy, and she didn't yell like her.
"What, it makes me look like a vexatious child." Rebecca muttered lowly, anxious.
In the end, she still couldn't hold back, and turned her head to look behind her again, only to find that Lin Mo's eyes were still flashing with blue light, as if he was still watching some information.
Not really... He's been looking at it for so long, hasn't he seen those pictures yet? Rebecca thought incredulously.
As if sensing her gaze, Sasha, who was sitting next to Lin Mo, suddenly smiled lightly, revealing a look of understanding.
"Lin Mo, Lin Mo!" She poked Lin Mo's shoulder lightly, thinking that he was still looking at those photos, and the smile on her face was a little playful:
"How's it going, are these pictures okay?"
Lin Mo, who was watching the message, suddenly came back to his senses and glanced at Sasha in confusion: "Photos? Are you talking about the photo just now? ”
"yes, otherwise what else could I ask..."
"It's not bad, did you take all of them? You can see that the technology is very good. Lin Momu nodded in praise, his expression a little absent-minded.
"I took pictures through a drone, and if I had to take pictures myself, I wouldn't have been able to get into the camera." Sasha looked at Lin Mo's expression, and then asked, "Were you reading other news just now?" ”
Lin Mo's words and performance just now were obviously not looking at the photos she posted, but watching other messages.
"Well, I'm really looking at other messages." Lin Mo nodded:
"Just now Xu Wanmeng... The CEO of Kangtao sent me a lot of information, and after I read your travel photos, I also showed everything she sent by the way. ”
"What intelligence?"
Suddenly, including Rebecca and Lucy, who were sitting in front, the eyes of the three girls were all on Lin Mo.
Lin Mo shrugged his shoulders and said very innocently:
"Didn't we help them solve the AI yesterday, didn't you and Lucy also help them solve that group of hackers? Among them, we deliberately left a few live mouths, and until today, Xu Wanmeng's side has almost dug up the information of these people. ”
"What is it exactly? Can you tell us a little bit about that? Lucy's brow furrowed, and she couldn't help but think back to yesterday's battle in cyberspace:
"After you mentioned this, the professionalism of those hackers is indeed not comparable to ordinary wandering hackers, and they seem to be divided into several gangs, although there are quite a lot of people, but the cooperation with each other is not very good, as if the hackers from several companies are forced to form an army... To describe it in the idiom of China, it is a plate of loose sand. ”
Lin Mo couldn't help but be amused by Lucy's idiom. 、
Every time Lucy says these idioms in Chinese, she uses a foreigner's crappy accent, and I don't know if she did it on purpose, anyway, he laughs out loud every time.
"You analyzed it well, according to the information Xu Wanmeng gave me, these hackers are indeed from several different companies, anyway, there are Arasaka, Military Technology, Moore Technology listed in the information... These companies are secretly at odds with Kangtao. He earnestly explains:
"Maybe it was AI Xu Shiming who promised them a lot of benefits and lured these jackals into the sheepfold, and the hacker base stations they used were all located in China.
"So from the mouths of these hackers, what information did Xu Wanmeng get?" Lucy asked.
Lin Mo thought about it, and simply copied all these intelligence materials, and then transmitted them to the other three girls, saving himself more trouble explaining.
After another ten minutes, the blue light in the eyes of the three girls gradually dissipated, and their eyes refocused on Lin Mo.
"Have you read it all?" Lin Mo asked.
The three nodded.
"Any ideas?" Lin Mo asked
Lucy frowned tightly and analyzed seriously:
"It's a little strange that these hackers are targeting important file data on the Conto's intranet, which I don't think is surprising, but what surprised me is that this incident has something to do with Night City..."
The hacker army led by AI Xu Shiming is indeed composed of hacker teams from various companies, and their main goal is very simple, nothing more than to steal enough benefits for their company on this big cake of Kangtao.
However, from the minds of these hackers, Kang Tao also found a lot of information that had nothing to do with last night's battle, but was very useful and valuable.
First of all, the most important piece of information is that Kang Tao learned the latest progress of their "RELIC" project from the brains of the hackers of the Arasaka Company.
- Herman, the leader of the project, has successfully advanced the technology to the second generation, breaking through the key technologies, and the goal of the project technology seems to involve immortality.
More detailed information is not yet known, but Kang Tao does not seem to be planning to give up this confidential information, and is planning to start with the technical director named Herman.
Another important piece of information was also obtained from the brains of the hackers of the Arasaka Company, that is, the Arasaka Company began to deliberately tilt most of the hacker resources on the side of Night City, and some of their "colleagues" were also transferred to the branch of Night City, as if they were guarding against something.
Although this phenomenon has been around since a few years ago, it seems that this kind of operation has become more frequent during this time, giving the impression that it is going on some kind of general mobilization for combat readiness.
As for the rest of the information, the former president of military science and technology, the current president of the new United States, is trying his best to recruit top hackers;
Moore Tech has also used its connections in Europe to try to regain the voice of Night City's branch through hacking attacks, etc...
"Why do I feel that most of this information is related to Arasaka?" Even with Rebecca's straightforward way of thinking, she could see the clues in this information.
It seems that among the hostile hacker army, the hackers involved by the Arasaka Company occupy the majority of the number, so a lot of information is related to the Arasaka Company.
However, objectively speaking, with Arasaka's current hacking power, if it is called second, no company in the world dares to call it first.
At this time, Lin Mo also agreed with Rebecca's statement:
"Your guess is very good, in the coming days, Arasaka Company is indeed very likely to make a big move."
"Perhaps, when we return to Night City, we will have a chance to deal with them."
