Chapter 412: You didn't ask me either
Ott Cunningham?
When Mr. Blue Eyes said this name, Lin Mo was not surprised at all, but condensed uncontrollable doubts and incomprehension in the depths of his heart.
According to the original plot of the game, although the agents of the network surveillance had no way to break into the internal network of the Voodoo Gang, they had the upper hand in the online confrontation between the two sides.
Not only that, but at the stage where the player is involved in the relevant story, the agents of the network surveillance even trap the leader of the Voodoo gang in the "ICE" trap set by himself.
This also illustrates the terrifying strength of [Network Surveillance] from the side, just one agent can suppress the hackers of the entire Voodoo Gang at a loss, and he can better deal with the "mess" made by the Voodoo Gang alone.
If it were not for the intervention of the protagonist V, although the deadlock between the two sides would not be broken in a short time, it is predictable that the network surveillance side would definitely have the upper hand in this stalemate.
Their prestige in the online world is not blown out by people's mouths, let alone a "black wall", but by strong technical strength.
Such an elite agent, but now he died unexpectedly here in the mall, completely contrary to the plot of the original game, if there is nothing greasy in this, Lin Mo will definitely not believe it.
And to be able to deal with this agent so quickly, without the interference of external factors, the power of the Voodoo Gang alone would never have been possible.
But why is it Ultra?
"You know her?" Lin Mo stared at Knight sharply and asked.
"Acquaintances, even old acquaintances." Knight's tone was unusually calm, and his expressionless face lifted slightly, looking into the void in mid-air.
He stretched out his hand and raised it high, not seeing him make any excessive movements, just a slight fist, and the mid-empty online world exploded like a cracked lens, revealing the "truth" that happened here in the past.
Everything is like an illusory illusion, this LAN seems to be normal, but after Knight's actions just now, the truth hidden behind the scenes is finally revealed.
At this time, Lin Mo also "saw" the red particles left in mid-air, floating in the air like fireflies in disorder.
He could tell at a glance that it was a "remnant" of some kind of program, and that it also had extremely obvious individual characteristics.
In addition, the most conspicuous thing is a white particle, like a large piece of bread that has been crumbled into finely crumbs, volatile and faintly fluorescent coiled in the air, chaotic.
... And this kind of scene that ordinary people look at but can't figure out, in Lin Mo's field of vision, is no less terrifying than a creature exploding in reality to form a "blood mist"!
In fact, such a metaphor is apt in this context.
After a few seconds of observation, Lin Mo also saw that this white particle floating in the sky like a "galaxy" was actually the "remains" of an AI.
Obviously, not long ago, there was an unknown "battle" in this local area network, and the traces caused by the battle had been "smoothed", and even Lin Mo couldn't spy on it at the first time.
But Mr. Blue-Eyed could, he seemed to be so familiar with this way of cleaning up the marks that at first glance he could see that something was wrong, and he had also "traced" some of the traces.
"Have you come to your senses?" Knight's voice popped up beside him.
Lin Mo retracted his gaze, continued to look at Knight, and nodded slowly.
Knight bowed slightly, turned his gaze to the marks in the air, and said unhurriedly:
"In my opinion, cyber surveillance is one of the most researched AI organizations in the world, and the reason for their reputation is that in addition to their advanced cyber technology, each of their agents actually carries an independent AI."
"They understand the dangers of AI and the value of AI, so in order to avoid repeating the lessons of the past, these independent AIs will be sharpened by them to become docile pets, so that they can use them, and then they will be invincible in cyberspace
It's not good."
Lin Mo seemed quite calm, he had already learned the relevant information from his sister about what Knight said.
As the maintainer of order in the cyber world, cyber surveillance has been indispensable for so many years to confront streaming AI.
AI is far from being matched by humans, and highly skilled hackers are not the heroes that can be found everywhere.
In order to ensure that their agents are not weaker even in one-on-one situations with the AI, almost every agent will carry a "standalone AI" of these.
Not only that, due to the lessons brought about by the "old network collapse" decades ago, except for some large companies, the rest of the individuals and organizations are now extremely cautious about AI, and normal individuals and organizations are not allowed to have AI.
Others don't have the "artifact", but they can have the "artifact low-configuration version", and the operation of network monitoring naturally makes them invincible in the cyberspace.
He looked at the stream of white particles hovering in mid-air, and asked in an indifferent tone:
"So even though the agent tried his best and even resorted to the last resort, he still didn't escape from the enemy?"
"Well, that's normal, after all, his opponent is Otter, the most powerful entity outside the Black Wall." Knight said calmly.
Lin Mo stared at Knight for a long time, then was silent for a long time and asked:
"How much do you know about Ott?"
"Many, she has appeared near Night City a few years ago, always wandering back outside the black wall, like a jackal wandering outside the sheepfold, and has also created a lot of independent AI programs in the past few years, always trying to break through the data fortress of the Arasaka Tower, but unfortunately it didn't work." Knight explained slowly, with no intention of hiding it.
He glanced at Lin Mo and found that the latter had no desire to speak, but instead put on a posture of listening.
Seeing this, Knight had no choice but to explain:
"I know what she's longing for, she's so obsessed with creating an independent AI to try to break through the Arasaka Tower's cyber defenses, and it's also because there's a "Divine Opinion" buried under the Arasaka Tower, which is the database that stores all the data imprints, and it's what Ultra craves the most."
Speaking of which, in order to keep his topic going on smoothly and to prevent Lin Mo from being incomprehensible, Knight asked kindly:
"You should know what a mikoshi is, right?"
"Yes." Lin Mo nodded.
As a company with REL technology, and at the same time the ultimate villain in the game's story, Arasaka's "Mikoshi" is an important thing throughout the game.
It is a consciousness database, and all the dignitaries and dignitaries involved in the REL project will make copies of their consciousness into data imprints, which will then be stored in the "Shrine".
However, from another point of view, the shrine is also a "data consciousness cage", imprisoning the human soul!
Knight chuckled lightly, "It seems that I don't need to explain too much, so do you know why Ott is so obsessed with the gods?"
Lin Mo lowered his head and thought for a while, and guessed uncertainly, "To strengthen yourself?"
After all, in the game's plot, the old lover of the silver hand also made it clear that her purpose was mainly to devour the "data imprint" stored in the gods.
Since it was said that it was devoured, Lin Mo subconsciously felt that she was trying to "absorb nutrients and strengthen herself"
Anyway, he didn't believe that the Ultra Society was out of "good intentions" and wanted to rescue the data consciousness body imprisoned in the gods.
[At present, it is the most complete and best app for listening to books, integrating 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of timbres, and it supports offline reading
」
"If Ultra succeeds in completely devouring all the data imprints, do you think that with her enhanced strength, and she still has the memories of those big people, the data fortresses of the major companies in the world will still be able to stop her?" Knight asked rhetorically.
Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood the meaning of this sentence.
Oh, yes.
An AI Xu Shiming has already made Kangtao Company anxious.
If Ott also absorbs the memories of the big names in the gods, then she can also make an independent AI individual similar to "AI Xu Shiming" in minutes!
At that time, how can the company where these big names work stop her?
Lin Mo frowned, looked at Knight and asked, "Actually, you knew from the beginning that it was Ott who was behind the ghost, why did you tell me this now."
"Before, it was just a guess, and I haven't been sure yet, but now that I see these traces and clues, I can be 100% sure." Knight appears very innocent:
"Besides, you haven't asked me before."
