Chapter 418: Knight's Gift

"You are the one who reported the cyber incident?"

In the movie screening hall on the second floor of the Great Empire Mall, the dark red light of the service crew dyed the entire screening room a hazy crimson, and the small space was crowded with several company people in suits and leather shoes at this time.

In addition, there are several bodyguards standing outside the room, each with a prosthetic eye device like goggles embedded in their faces, vigilantly scanning the viewing hall outside the screening room.

Even though the entire mall building was now under their control, the bodyguards still stood on end, as if they were facing a great enemy, and they did not spare every corner of the room, as if they were afraid of a protective automatic turret coming out of a corner.

In the screening room, Lin Mo sat alone in the hacker chair, and when he heard the inquiries of the people around him, he only raised his eyes and glanced at the person who spoke.

Immediately, he sighed and said faintly:

"You seem to be late."

"According to the documents passed to us by the Kangtao Company, you should be surnamed Lin..." The man who spoke was wearing a white shirt and looked quite polite and elegant.

"Hello, I'm the Director of Intelligence for the Americas Division of Cyber Surveillance, and thank you very much for your help in nucking out the accidents that occurred in cyberspace... If that evil creature were to truly invade Night City's network, the consequences would be dire."

He stretched out his hand towards Lin Mo, and the arm that emerged from his sleeve had a plastic texture, which seemed to be some kind of special prosthetic arm.

Lin Mo also stretched out his hand and shook it politely, when his palm touched the other party, he could clearly feel a faint air current...

It should be some kind of prosthetic part dedicated to heat dissipation... He secretly guessed.

After shaking hands with each other, the man also breathed a sigh of relief and said rather happily:

"In addition, you are right, we did not react to this accident in time, but fortunately the incident did not cause any evil consequences in the end, otherwise, I, the intelligence director, would have come to an end."

Speaking of this, the man couldn't help but recall an incident that happened at noon today.

At that time, he was still in the company's office, thinking that today would still be a peaceful day, but he never thought that the employees of the department suddenly broke into the office to report an accident to him.

Then, when I learned that one of my agents had lost his life in the Night City of Taipingzhou, and that the person had been transported to the hospital by the trauma team for "resurrection surgery", and urgently needed the follow-up treatment costs from the company... The man almost didn't pop his eyes out.

Although Cyber Surveillance is a large international organization, the number of hacking agents within the company is not very large, and there are only two agents in the entire Night City to maintain cybersecurity.

[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.]

Seeing the man's appearance of being saved, Lin Mo added nonchalantly, "The matter is settled, but what are you going to do with that evil thing and the hackers of the Voodoo Gang?"

"Naturally, it is expelled from the black wall, Mr. Lin, you should know, this evil thing is no less harmful than a powerful puppet virus, and it also has a certain degree of infection, for this accident, we dispatched half of the hackers of the entire American branch this time, and it can be regarded as barely driving it away." The man knows everything:

"As for the Voodoo guys, unfortunately, when our people rushed to the Poseidon intranet, they seemed to have been devoured by the evil creatures... In reality, the best of them is to become crazy, stupid, and at worst to be brain dead."

Lin Mo nodded and did not answer.

As the culprit responsible for the victims of the Voodoo gang of hackers, it is impossible for him not to know the fate of those guys.

It's just that listening to the man's tone now, they shouldn't have found any clues in the [Poseidon] intranet.

From this point of view, the "network traces" he forged should have been well concealed from these network monitors, so as not to expose the situation between him and Knight.

As for the Voodoo gang hackers led by Bridget, what was their final fate, Lin Moguang felt a little shudder when he thought about it.

Swallowed into the body by cyber monsters, the brain is subjected to countless distorted data, crazy images... This kind of inhumane torture, let alone Bridget them, even he himself didn't dare to say that he could bear it.

"Then I'll leave the finishing touches to you, I've been here for a while, and then there's something else, let's go first." Lin Mo casually said goodbye to the man in charge.

The man hurriedly replied with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Lin, you are busy first, just leave these trivial matters to us, as for the help of Kangtao Company this time, I will also report to the boss truthfully."

Lin Mo bowed his head, he hadn't forgotten that he had come to the Great Empire Mall this time to borrow the name of Kangtao Company.

After a while, he yawned, looked tired, and slowly left the place under the gaze of everyone in the conference room.

......

......

On a road a few hundred meters away from the Great Empire Mall, an ordinary vehicle is parked in a parking space on the side of the road, perfectly blending into the surrounding civilian cars.

Confirming that there was no one behind him who was being monitored by the network, Lin Mo came to the side of the vehicle.

Before he could knock on the window, the door opened silently.

Knight, who was sitting in the driver's seat, stared at him calmly, his eyes glowing blue and beautiful.

"How? Did the cyber watchdog handle this incident well?" He smiled slightly, and was the first to break the silence:

"Judging by the way you look, I guess things should be working out."

"You guessed it right, they are really good at dealing with this kind of accident that happened in cyberspace, and neither of us can do anything about the cyber evil, but they have successfully driven it away." Lin Mo shrugged his shoulders and sat in the passenger seat.

"That's good." Knight smiled.

However, Lin Mo's face was not very good-looking, and his tightly knit brows were like a dark cloud dyed in the clear sky:

"However, the Voodoo Gang's method of unleashing the evil creatures on the Internet also proves that they do have a connection with Ultra... What do you think about that?"

In the game's plot, Ultra is indeed attracted by the voodoo gang's use of Johnny's Silver Hand.

But the attitude she showed obviously disdains the "crooked melons and cracked dates" of the Voodoo Gang.

But why is it that they are still helping the people of the Voodoo Gang now?

After thinking about it, Lin Mo could only guess that it was the various deeds he made after coming to this world, as well as the demise of AI Xu Shiming, which eventually led to Ott now starting to seek other ways to achieve his goals.

"Now that she's found the Voodoo Gang, then

It proves that she is indeed unable to move around the network area within the walls now, and we have not even seen her when the evil creature appeared... So, we don't have to worry about her existence for the time being." Knight spoke his mind.

He does not have any conflict of interest with Knight.

So far, both of them have been steadily moving forward with their own plans, just like two neutral camps in a strategy game that are developing each other, and even fit well in some purposes, and there is also the possibility of cooperation in the future.

However, for such a powerful "kind", Knight didn't want Ott to achieve his goal so smoothly and easily.

Lin Mo was noncommittal, and his thoughts were the same as Knight's.

Even if the Voodoo Gang is just a bunch of pawns driven by Ultra, it is enough to prove that she is trying to use external forces to achieve her goals.

So in the short term, she shouldn't be able to do any harm to Night City's cyberspace.

Moreover, he has not yet met the other party in person, and even if Ott knows his identity, he is not afraid of being targeted by her.

"But if she can easily put the cyber evil inside the wall, why can't she force her way through the black wall? As long as she enters Night City's network, there should be many ways for her to hide, and it should be an easy thing for her to do." Lin Mo asked rhetorically.

Knight smiled and said casually, "You should ask the Internet surveillance about this, after all, only they know what the black wall is."

Lin Mo thought about this possibility for a while, but finally shook his head and said:

"They won't tell."

Building a black wall – almost the rise of cyber surveillance as a major international organization.

This kind of foundation, even if it is asked in the name of Kangtao, the network monitoring will definitely not say it, just like he will not say the simulator.

Seeing that he couldn't come up with an answer if he continued to talk about it, Lin Mo had to stop for the time being and changed the topic:

"Now that the matter on the Taiping Continent side has been dealt with, and without the hackers led by Bridget, even if the Voodoo Gang can still exist, it is impossible for it to develop back to its former size, but their grassroots gang is still there, and the order of the neighborhood here should still be maintained, is your Yeshi Company still interested in interfering in the future?"

Knight shook his head slightly, and said without thinking for a moment, "There is no interest, we will only focus on the order of this area not being disrupted for now."

"It's okay, so I can give my sister an explanation, Kangtao Company is a little interested in Taipingzhou." Lin Mo explained.

Knight said with a smile, "If there are companies here, then Taiping Prefecture will be much better, and we are happy to see this happen."

In an area like Taiping Prefecture, which even the NCPD does not want to manage, he still hopes that a company can come here to operate, at least to make the economy and order of this area better.

After all, no matter how bad it is, it can't be much worse.

"Then let's go back first." Lin Mo said.

Knight nodded, and immediately started the car and drove out onto the road.

"By the way, Lin Mo, are you interested in accepting a gift?" As if thinking of something, Knight suddenly asked.

"Gifts?" Lin Mo looked at Knight suspiciously.
