Chapter 374: Who Are You?
"If you need a subordinate, then we happen to have a more mature brain memory tampering technology on our side, this technology can fully meet your needs, with your strength, if you want someone to become your subordinate, you can knock someone unconscious and transport them to our side, just wait for a while, and the other party will become the most loyal subordinate to you."
"And with us, the forces behind me can also help you when necessary, sir, believe me, in this place of Night City, there is absolutely no second force, even the Night City government, that is more familiar with the city than us!"
The blue-eyed tone was earnest, the attitude was sincere, and the confidence that naturally flowed from his words made people can't help but believe his words.
If the occasion is in public, then he will definitely be a good speaker.
However, Lin Mo just looked at the information listed on the chip silently, still without saying a word, and was not moved by his words.
Mr. Blue-Eyed was silent on the surface, but the smile that had been maintained on his lips seemed to reveal his inner anxiety, and he seemed to have lost his expression management, and the smile on the corner of his mouth never changed from beginning to end.
After a long time, he had carefully browsed the content on the chip, Lin Mo pulled out the chip and put it on the desktop, and his movements did not hesitate at all.
This couldn't help but make Mr. Blue Eyes make a misjudgment, and thought that he was not satisfied with these conditions, so he couldn't help but continue to persuade:
"If you want to further improve your strength, we also have a very good exclusive prosthetic technology here, which can definitely make your strength to the next level, sir..."
"No, I can promise your cooperation, you just need to pay for that data consciousness technology." Lin Mo calmly interrupted Mr. Blue-Eyed's boasting.
Speaking of this, a happy smile appeared on his face, and his words became a lot lighter:
"To be honest, I don't know if it's a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement, but your technology fits my needs very well..."
No, that's more than that, this technology is simply there to fill in the flaws in his plan!
can make the data consciousness existing in the virtual network world reappear in the world with a real body, so far, except for the [rel2.0] technology that appeared in the game, Lin Mo doesn't know any other black technology that can achieve this purpose.
But now, the appearance of Mr. Blue Eyes provides him with another possibility.
Although compared to Arasaka's [rel2.0] technology, Mr. Blue-Eyed's consciousness transmission technology that needs to be linked to the network is not as convenient as the former's "snatching" technology, and because of the need to link to the network at all times, there is a possibility that data awareness will be disconnected from time to time.
However, even in the year 2077, the [rel2.0] technology is still flawed, and there is no third successful player except for the protagonist V and Saburo Arsaka, who appears in one of the game's endings.
And at the moment, Mr. Blue-Eyed's technique, although it is most likely not perfect, can at least solve a problem that he has not been able to deal with until now
- How do you bring Johnny's Silver Hand back to life?
After all, with his intervention, it is already a big question whether the main plot of the game can continue step by step.
Moreover, with his intervention, it is impossible for V in the future to risk stealing the rel chip with the consciousness of the silver hand in order to break a few taels of silver, and it is impossible to lose his life by a sneak attack by the middleman, resulting in the successful activation of the rel chip and being able to survive.
The REL chip can't start, so Johnny's silver hand trapped in the chip naturally can't be revealed.
Although judging from the team he is currently pulling up, it will not be a big problem whether there is a guy like Johnny Silver Hand in the future operation.
After all, compared to having Johnny's silver hand, Lin Mo didn't want to be talked about by someone around every day.
But when it comes to executing the final plan, Johnny's Silver Hand is an indispensable piece of the puzzle.
Lin Mo admits that he does recognize Johnny's charisma, but again, if
Putting aside the filters in the game, this guy is a complete rotten person in his eyes, but fortunately, this guy's personality has also changed a little later in the game.
If Johnny Silver Hand was allowed to join his team, Lin Mo would not know if he could resist the urge to give this guy a knife just thinking about the scene of being broken by Silver Hand one day in the future.
But no matter what, if the final plan is implemented in the future, if Johnny's silver hand is missing, Lin Mo still feels quite regretful.
"About this technology... Forgive my curiosity, does Mr. Ink Shadow have his own AI allies?" Mr. Blue-Eyed asked, puzzled.
Lin Mo smiled indifferently and said without concealment, "If we can successfully cooperate, then you will be my first AI ally."
Mr. Blue-Eyed lowered his head and thought for a moment, but then quickly raised his head and said with a relaxed expression, "It's my pleasure, sir, so... Have you agreed to our request for cooperation?"
"Yes, but I still need an explanation from you." Lin Mo said.
"Please." Mr. Blue-Eyed held out his hand and assumed a gesture of please.
Lin Mo raised the coffee cup, took a sip and said:
"The premise of cooperation is mutual trust, and the source of trust is to know each other, now you know me well, but I know very little about you, and there is a huge information gap between the two of us, which really makes it difficult for me to cooperate with you."
"So that's what you want—" Blue Eyes nodded knowingly, looked away and pondered for a moment, then said:
"Now that we have reached a preliminary consensus, then I can also answer some of your doubts, and if you have any confusion, you can just say it."
Lin Mo cleared his throat, looked at Mr. Blue Eyes with deep eyes, and asked the most important question:
"Who the hell are you?"
"An AI, an AI from the Night Clan." Mr. Blue-Eyed said succinctly.
"Oh? And what is your position in the Night Clan?" Lin Mo asked.
"I'm the one who talks about this company." Mr. Blue Eyes said calmly.
The previous answer was actually expected by Lin Mo, he had long known that the force behind the other party was the Ye Clan's company.
However, although the latter answer is a little unexpected, it is still reasonable, the other party can come over and talk to him about cooperation, and all kinds of technologies are provided casually, and I think it also has a certain status in the night company.
His face remained unchanged, and he continued to ask seriously:
"What is your purpose?"
Mr. Blue-Eyed smiled unchanged and was silent for a long time before he spoke, "My purpose... Or rather, the purpose of our company has never changed... That is to make Night City the pearl of the world, not the city of dreams that it is now talking about..."
"I don't believe this statement of yours..." Lin Mo's tone remained unchanged, and he said casually, "The list of technologies you just listed, doesn't there be a technology to tamper with memories and personalities? I don't believe that you with this kind of technology can resist not attacking the councilors of the city."
"We did try this, but believe me, this is also to make Night City better, we have been contracting the construction of all the infrastructure facilities in the city since the beginning of its establishment, most of the children's charities in Night City, the scholarship system for ordinary people are also contracted by us, and most of the funding of NPCD is also borne by us..."
Mr. Blue-Eyed spread his hands and said helplessly:
"We've been trying to make Night City a better place for the better... But in fact, as you can see, maybe the Night Company was the creator of this city, but we still have to follow the rules of this world, and follow the rules set by those big companies..."
Lin Mo thought to himself and did not deny the other party's words.
Because it is true, as Mr. Blue-Eyes said, the Night Company was founded by Richard Knight, the founder of Night City, after his death.
And Richard Knight's own will, is to make this
The city he created with his own hands has become a "utopia" for the whole world.
Unfortunately, after his assassination, all these visions became illusory.
Now, the Night Clan's company, which inherited his last wish, doesn't know if it's all about making Night City better, as Mr. Blue-Eyes said?
"So your ultimate goal is to make Night City a better place, even free from the control of the major corporations?" Lin Mo guessed.
"Yes and no." Mr. Blue-Eyes smiled and shook his head, "But we are really working hard to make this city better, and the other purpose of cooperating with you this time is to make Mr. Ink Shadow not make too much trouble and ruin this city."
"How can I have this kind of strength...... Lin Mo shook his head with a smile, but in an instant, his expression froze, and his face became strange again.
Slowly, he doesn't have this kind of strength, but with his ability to cause trouble, it seems that there is a lot of probability that it will indeed lead to the worst...
After all, the craters on the outskirts of Night City haven't been filled yet!
"As for the ultimate goal you just mentioned—" Mr. Blue-Eyes' tone became a little deeper:
"In my opinion, the most we want to do, probably the most we want to do, is to change Night City back to its former name..."
"In the old days, it was called Coronado City."
"Well, I know, the name Night City was also given in honor of the city's founder, Richard Knight." Lin Mo nodded and said:
"So I can ask, what is the main reason why you asked me to work with you?"
Reminiscent of the finale of the game, the purpose of this Mr. Blue Eyes is to give the protagonist V, who has become a legend, a commissioned mission... Now that the other party has found him, it is estimated that he also takes a fancy to his strength.
"There's no need to worry about this matter, we cooperated with you, mainly because of your strength, and this time I came to communicate with you early, but also to plan for the future, the time is not yet ripe, and when I need to, I will come to you." Mr. Blue Eyes smiled and stretched out his hand and sent a message to Lin Mo:
"Here's my phone number, so you can call it if you need help or if you want us to provide technical assistance."
Soon, a string of phone numbers was sent to Lin Mo's communication channel.
"I'm looking forward to working with you in the future." Lin Mo said politely.
"Me too, Mr. Inkshadow, a living legend of Night City." Mr. Blue-Eyed said meaningfully.
Lin Mo nodded slightly, drank the last coffee on the table, and the moment the cup was put down, his gaze suddenly sharpened, staring at the man sitting opposite:
"Now that everything has been settled, can I take the liberty of asking..."
"Who the hell are you?"
Mr. Blue-Eyed smiled kindly, and his expression didn't seem to hide it.
Under Lin Mo's gaze, he slowly said a name:
「... Richard Knight."
