Taiping Chau, the path in front of the Great Empire Mall.

An unremarkable four-seater vehicle slowly drove up, parked on the side of the road, and two lines of sight passed through the window and began to slowly look at the half-deserted "prototype of the mall".

"When the capital chain was not broken, according to the project plan, this shopping mall should be at least ten meters high, but because of the interruption of the project, it was also unfinished like other construction projects in Taiping Chau, and now, as you can see, it is only two or three stories high."

Mr. Blue-eyed, who was sitting in the driver's seat, looked at the mall building through the car window and said patiently and gently to the boy in the back seat.

"Well, thank you for explaining." The boy responded slightly nonchalantly.

He looked at the unfinished commercial center, just like Mr. Blue-Eyed had introduced

- The mall is only one or two storeys high, and judging from its current prototype, it should have been a beautiful commercial center, but now only strips of steel stand above the mall like patterns, building an unfinished skeleton, like a half-withered and half-prosperous tree.

The walls are dilapidated, the color is dark, and there are all kinds of debris piled up outside the mall, and there are even a few scrapped, charred vehicles not far away... Everywhere you look, you can see the scene of depression.

"Now the mall has been taken over by a gang of animal gangs, who have made it a gang den." Mr. Blue Eyes suddenly paused, glanced at Lin Mo again, and said with a smile:

"I believe that Mr. Lin must know something about this gang, so I don't need to explain it."

The Animal Gang, one of Night City's most unorganized gangs, has a sphere of influence throughout the city, and the leaders of the gangs are all independent gangs, with little organization and discipline to speak of.

And this gang is also a gang that advocates flesh and pursues extreme strength, and almost all the members of the gang are big guys and like large-caliber firearms and weapons.

Thinking back to the situation of this gang for a while, Lin Mo nodded slowly, indicating that he had learned about the situation of this gang.

Looking at the gate of the mall, where there was no movement, the car was parked outside the mall for a long time and no one came out, Mr. Blue Eyes couldn't help but ask:

"Shall we sit here for a while and wait for the connector to come out, or shall we walk in first?"

"Wait for someone to come over, I'm not familiar with the interior of the mall, so I don't have to look for people around like a headless fly inside." Lin Mo yawned, looking bored.

Speaking of this, he glanced at the driver's seat with considerable interest and said in surprise:

"But I didn't expect you to be willing to come here with me alone... You don't have to worry about abnormal network fluctuations, and if you accidentally disconnect from this body, what should you do?"

He hadn't forgotten the conversation he had with Mr. Blue-Eyed that day, and the other party's body needed to be in a state of "Internet connection" at all times.

If one accidentally drops the connection, the body will lose control in an instant and be paralyzed in place.

At the beginning, Mr. Blue-Eyed chose to disclose the flaws of this technology to Lin Mo, which also surprised Lin Mo, isn't this equivalent to putting his own weaknesses in the hands of the other party without reservation?

However, it is precisely because of Mr. Blue-Eyed Honesty that Lin Mo is also much more relieved about the cooperation between the two sides.

"Mr. Lin doesn't need to worry, our company has been responsible for the infrastructure construction of the city since its establishment, and many public intranet equipment are also maintained by us, so there are few places in Night City that I can't go." Mr. Blue-Eyed explained without hesitation:

"However, you will need to go in alone, sir, there is a local area subnet set up inside the mall, and I can't enter and exit at will."

Although many areas of Night City are covered with public LANs, making it possible for citizens to use the Internet in public areas, this is not the age of the Internet.

Many private areas have their own internal nets, and even Mr. Blue-Eyed cannot enter or exit such places at will.

Many times, if he wants to enter and exit a building with a private LAN at will, he has to send his subordinates to the destination in advance to investigate the network situation and determine the network

The network connection is normal, so as to avoid the embarrassing event of self-disconnection.

And now the mall's intranet is not open to the public, and he has not obtained permission, so he can't use the mall's intranet to connect to this body.

Lin Mo smiled casually:

"Then I can only grieve you to stay in the car, but don't worry too much, when I get a good deal with the special agent supervised by the network, he should open the intranet to us to use."

Mr. Blue-Eyed shook his head and said calmly, "Thank you Mr. Lin for your kindness, but my situation is special, so it's better not to show my face in front of others."

Lin Mo nodded noncommittally, and did not deliberately force the other party.

He continued to turn his head and glanced at the mall casually, and found that the connector contacted by the old lady had not yet come out, and nothing had happened at the gate of the mall.

So taking advantage of this rare free time, he showed a polite smile and asked, "Let you help this time, Mr. Blue Eyes, do you have any thoughts on this?"

"Views?" Mr. Blue-Eyes repeated the word, pondered for a moment, and then smiled:

"After all, this is the first time we have joined forces since we cooperated, and Mr. Lin wants me to help, how can I refuse."

His expression was very sincere, and there was no emotion at all.

Perhaps this is a small advantage of the "network connection" body.

The "micro-expressions" and rich changes in demeanor that often appear on the faces of ordinary people rarely appear on the face of Mr. Blue-Eyed.

Lin Mo sighed, glanced at him, and after observing his expression to no avail, he had to say faintly, "Sir, you know I'm not asking about this... I want to ask you, what do you think of the Voodoo Gang?"

"Urban moths, scum that endangers social security!" Mr. Blue-Eyed commented unceremoniously, his tone slightly stiff.

But he paused for another second or two, and then said:

"But I have to admit that they are an integral part of the 'ecological balance' of Taiping Chau, and without them, Taiping Chau would only be more chaotic."

Regarding his statement, Lin Mo only nodded slightly, and did not make a comment, which was a tacit acquiescence.

From a realistic point of view, the current situation in Night City is far more complicated than the game suggests.

In the game, the most famous middlemen in the major urban areas more or less maintain the "ecological balance" of their respective regions, and to a certain extent, maintain the "stability" of their own territories.

The same is true of the role of gangs.

Without Voodoo, Taipingzhou would only fall into chaos again until a new leader gang emerges to stabilize the area.

Mr. Blue-Eye, who claims to have made it his life's goal to make Night City the ideal city again, understands the reasoning behind it.

He may have intended to change all this, but in the big dye vat of Night City, in this complex and ever-changing "ecological environment", there is still too little that a single Night Company can do.

"So this time our goal is to break through the Voodoo Gang's intranet, steal all the information in their database, and then easily eliminate their core members, and leave it to the people who monitor the network to deal with it..."

"In this way, the remaining minions are still there, and this area will not become too chaotic, and if we want to recover Taiping Continent in the future, we will only face a weaker voodoo gang."

"Mr. Lin is very thoughtful, I can't find anything wrong with it." Blue Eyes smiled gently.

Lin Mo shook his head and said meaningfully:

"It's easy to deal with a Taiping Chau... But if you change the target to Night City, what do you think, sir... You came to me on your own initiative to make Night City a true ideal city, and you wanted me to help, but until now, I don't know how you plan to achieve your dreams, nor do I know your detailed plans."

"Taking advantage of this rare meeting, sir, won't you tell me about it?" He asked in hot pursuit.

However, in the face of Lin Mo's questioning, only silence was the response to him, and the car suddenly fell silent.

Mr. Blue-Eyed's gaze didn't stop at him, but just looked out the window, his face calm and silent.

It seemed that he didn't know how to deal with Lin Mo's sudden turn to this aspect.

For a long time, he still had no expression, as if he was stating a very inconsequential fact:

"Mr. Lin, it's not time yet, I hope you can help me, but now Night City is a pool of stagnant water, and there is no change in the major companies, they are like nails, fixing Night City to death, it is difficult for me to do anything to change all this, I can only continue to wait!"

"Not then?" Lin Mo smiled and said disapprecantly:

"But if you wait until the time is ripe to tell me your specific plans and ideas, aren't you afraid that I won't be able to keep up with your pace and delay the plan?"

"I believe in Mr. Lin, but I beg your pardon, the time has not yet come, and I can't tell others my thoughts without reservation." Mr. Blue-Eyes was slightly apologetic.

Lin Mo shook his head and said regretfully:

"Forget it, since you don't say it, then please listen to my opinion, so that when the time comes, I will not do my own thing, but you will not be happy and run out to stop me."

"Mr. Lin, please speak."

"First of all, I want to ask you, what do you think of the company?" Lin Mo asked.

Mr. Blue-Eyed didn't shy away from suspicion at all, and said unceremoniously, "Except for the Night Clan, all other companies are the cancer of Night City."

"Are you sure?" Lin Mo asked rhetorically, "Haven't you Ye Clan Company done anything immoral?"

Not to mention anything else, the plot portrayal of the Night Company in the game alone is enough to make anyone wary of this company.

Artificially tampering with the memories of his own employees, cultivating mayoral candidates as his pawns, and sending self-brainwashed agents to become mayoral candidates' wives... Even Mr. Blue-Eyed himself intervened and prevented V from further investigation.

All kinds of deeds can prove that the Ye's company is by no means an innocent white lotus.

"Yes, we have done many unethical things, but in order to achieve our goals, a little sacrifice in the process is nothing, and indecision is a big no-no for decision-makers." Mr. Blue Eyes said seriously:

"Compared to other companies, we are at least responsible for the construction of the city, and we are responsible for many livelihood facilities, and even when we can't afford it, we still spend our profits on Night City... Compared to other companies that have come to Night City to plunder their fortunes, we are worthy of Night City."

Speaking of this, he paused again, turned around and glanced at Lin Mo deeply, his blue eyes didn't show any emotion, but he still smiled and said:

"Just like you, Mr. Lin, didn't you once make innocent people your pawns for your own benefit?"

After all, the *** that happened under the Moore Technology Building in the past has not been forgotten in some people's minds.

Lin Mo looked at him for a while, nodded silently, and admitted that his deeds were not glamorous.

It is no exaggeration to say that Yeshi Company has at least contributed to the urban construction and people's livelihood facilities and other projects that benefit the people in Night City.

And most of the things he has done so far are for his own interests, so he was able to become a legend at the speed of light.

It's a pity that many things that have passed through his hands are dressed in the "glamorous" skin of "fighting the company" and "solving crimes", so that the glorious deeds of his other identity are still sung in the afterlife bar.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

The company's opinion is just to inform you in advance." Lin Mo said indifferently:

"Since the other companies are the cancer of Night City, if one day, these cancers are all struck by the violent elements in Night City... For example, if someone kills through the Arasaka Tower and makes a mess of it, what do you think?"

Mr. Blue-Eyed did not stop for a moment, as if he had omitted even the thought process, and said with a smile:

"Then I'll be happy to watch these accidents happen."

You're too blunt, aren't you... Lin Mo smiled secretly.

But it's no wonder, after all, if the "Sun" ending is chosen in the game, then at the end of the game, after V breaks through the Arasaka Tower, Mr. Blue-Eyed will indeed smile from ear to ear.

"Sure enough, the major companies are not even as good as the Voodoo Gang in your mind?" Lin Mo asked with a smile.

After all, even if it is a voodoo gang, they still maintain the "ecological balance" of Taiping Chau.

"At the very least, the Voodoo Gang is still maintaining the stability of Taiping Zhou, but what about the company? They will only draw the nourishment of Night City to feed themselves, and use Night City as a hunting ground for freedom, and they are hunters." Mr. Blue Eyes asked himself:

"Even the most basic taxes, they will do everything they can to avoid paying taxes, although they have contributed funds for the establishment of Night City in the past, but until now, they have completely become a cancer."

"Do you have to eliminate these companies if you want Night City to be an ideal city?" Lin Mo asked again.

"If there was such an opportunity, I would try to do it, but it is not realistic to kick all the companies out of Night City, we need to unite some companies." Mr. Blue-Eyed said truthfully.

Lin Mo nodded, his smile unchanged: "I understand."

Speaking of which, he almost figured out Mr. Blue-Eyed's attitude.

"Mr. Lin asks this, does he have any ideas?" At this time, Mr. Blue Eyes also seemed to be aware of the intention behind Lin Mo.

"Well, some of my plans for the future are no different from the examples I just gave you." Lin Mo's tone was brisk: "I'm glad we all have the same position, sir."

Mr. Blue Eyes looked directly at Lin Mo, and the blue light in his eyes seemed to have become a lot richer.

"Mr. Lin, are you sure? This kind of thing is not child's play, aren't you afraid of taking one wrong step and losing everything?"

"I'll never do anything I'm not sure of, and as for the fact that I'm going to lose, heh, forgive my arrogance, I've never thought about it." Lin Mo said very lightly, and his expression seemed light.

Mr. Blue-Eyed was stunned for a moment.

Even though his essence is AI, his computing power is far beyond that of normal people, and many complex things can be thought about in less than a second, but at this time, he is also in a state of "downtime" thinking.

After a while, it may just be normal people's thinking time, but Mr. Blue-Eyes has thought about it enough.

He looked at Lin Mo with a smile, stretched out his hand and said:

"Mr. Lin, although we don't see each other much, I hope that you can call me Nate in the future."

"You can call me by my name, Lin Mo." Lin Mo said with a smile, and at the same time stretched out his hand to shake it.
