On the top floor of the Jewel Green Building, the moonlight is like mercury flowing all over the ground, the faint and hazy silver light shrouds the roof, and the pyramid building not far away is as bright as a jewel, located in the gray night like a flawless night pearl.

The infrastructure of Dog Town is extremely poor, and only a few street lights on the road can be lit, and a large number of abandoned buildings and buildings are not visible, and at night they are basically only slightly worse than "reaching out and not seeing five fingers", compared to the bustling downtown area of Night City that is as bright as day at night, it is like a refugee camp.

Lin Mo stood on the edge of the rooftop wall, leaning forward and calmly overlooking the lively battle below, the three gunships hovered around the building, like door gods blocking the Nether Dog reinforcements who tried to get close to the Jewel Green Hotel.

The attention of the three helicopters was attracted by the movement below, and they did not expect that there was still a person standing on the roof of the building that had been emptied by them a long time ago.

I don't know how long it took, Lin Mo, who had been standing by the wall, finally made a move.

His gaze suddenly shifted to the direction of an abandoned apartment building, as if his eyes had spied through the obstacles to the "something" hidden in the building.

[Have you found it out?] Lin Mo's eyes lit up with blue light, and his lips asked on the communication channel without moving.

On the other end of the communication channel, Knight was in the cyberspace and said:

[Well, at your eleven o'clock, on the 6th floor of that abandoned building, the lark we talked about before is staying there, in addition to a whole set of mobile hacking devices, and her current health is not good... To put it simply, it wasn't she who was controlling her body right now. 】

[So she's an AI upper body now?] Are there any side effects of the Little Beidou project? Lin Mo's eyebrows moved.

He still remembers that at Saburo Arasaka's memorial service that night, he and Knight talked a lot about larks, and the birth and continuation of the Little Beidou project.

This girl should be one of the products of the Little Beidou project, installing an unknown and powerful AI program on her body, so as to gain computing power and capabilities comparable to AI, and at the same time suffer from the erosion of AI.

Now listening to Knight, the other party is now reaping the consequences?

[The specific details still need to be brought back in person, and her physical condition can only be known after carefully checking her physical condition, but she really doesn't behave like a normal person now, wait a while, I'll send you a video.] Knight said.

A data package was sent, Lin Mo clicked on it to download, and after a while, a video screen appeared in the field of vision in front of him.

This is a video footage, which is supposed to be captured from a small camera hanging from the chest of a man holding an assault rifle and the enemies in front of him are Nether Dog Sergeant and Kang Tao Security.

The imaginary fierce exchange of fire did not take place, and before the two sides could fire bullets at each other, the battle ended in a second, and all the enemies exposed to the camera were attacked by the puppet, and the arc of electricity exploded all over the body, and it became "scorched people".

Not only that, but even those relatively "innocent" electronic devices, even if they are counted as one, they are all scrapped on the spot, as if a powerful electromagnetic pulse grenade exploded in the floor.

Compared to an electromagnetic pulse grenade... This invisible means of killing people makes people's hearts even more terrifying...

[Where did you get this video?] Lin Mo asked.

[Those gunmen's chest cameras, I took a small slice from their processors, and no one found them," Knight said flatly.

It's worthy of the mysterious AI of the Night Company.,Sure enough, it's self-confidence... Lin Mo thought to himself.

I'm afraid that even the humanoid AI named lark would never have imagined that his person would be hacked without his knowledge, and a video was intercepted.

[What kind of puppet is this, and why do I have a sense of familiarity?] He turned off the video and asked, puzzled.

[The name of the puppet is not known for the time being, but the effect of this puppet is to forcibly connect to the victim's brain processor, and then link their processor to the past Internet...] Speaking of this, Knight's tone paused, and said with some meaning:

You should know what this means. 】

Lin Mo muttered to himself, never thinking that he would actually hear this familiar and unfamiliar term.

Before the 20s, the term was synonymous with the thriving and technologically prosperous online network, when people were only new to cyberspace and saw it as an escapist second world.

This flourishing phenomenon continued until Buttermoss unleashed the [Data Crash] virus... Since then, the so-called Internet has become the "old web", where many mobile AIs with malicious intentions towards humans and malicious programs with offensive human beings are roaming.

The [local area network] that people use today is very far from the [Internet] used in the past 50 years, and an adaptive bidirectional algorithm called "black wall" IcE program isolates the connection between the two parties.

And now, this puppet can connect people to the "Internet", which means...

[Can she pass through the black wall?] This puppet has the ability to throw people out of a black wall? Lin Mo asked with a solemn face.

[Well, you're right, if the AI on this hacker's body is really a black-wall AI from the old web, then it's not unusual for him to have this kind of functional puppet.] Knight's tone was flat, and he didn't seem strange at all:

[And by the way, I will mention to you, now people are used to referring to those unknown names and unknown origins of the wandering AI as black wall AI, and black wall is also a polysemous word, because people don't know what the world outside the black wall is like, and some people are even used to calling the world outside the black wall simply black wall. 】

Lin Mo fell into silence, and only after a long time did he sigh:

[I have to say that this is really a wonderful means of killing...]

In today's era, even in the hacker world, which is at the top of the pyramid - cyber surveillance, they are very interested in the Internet... That is, words such as the old net and the black wall have always been secretive.

No hacker wants to venture beyond the black walls to explore the unknown, because doing so would cost them their lives.

If you connect to the old network at will, instead of the current LAN, then the wandering AI that has been wandering around the old network for many years will also detect the foreign intruder at the first time and tear them apart ruthlessly!

[You're not right at all, this puppet is temporarily called the Black Wall Puppet, its purpose is actually not offensive, but functional, the role is to connect the enemy's processor to the old network... And then let those people be torn apart by something beyond the black wall! Knight affirmed Lin Mo's statement.

[If she does this, she is not afraid of being discovered by people who monitor the Internet? Lin Mo asked curiously.

As the creator of the [Black Wall] on the surface today, any records and traces of access to the Black Wall will be traced by online surveillance, and they will not allow anyone to destroy the Black Wall.

Knight smiled, and there was a mockery in his laughter: [People are backed by military science and technology, and they eat public meals, even if the people who monitor the Internet have suspicions, there is no reason to detect these clues, if this matter is exposed, it will not be her who is unlucky, but the person who ordered her to do it. 】

[That's right.] Lin Mo nodded.

Compared to researching the risks of projects such as the weaponization of illegal AI and using people as AI containers, it is nothing to borrow a little "black wall power".

The former is simply a wanton trampling on international law, while the latter can be blamed on "individual acts".

At this time, Lin Mo's eyes, who were chatting happily, suddenly flashed a little orange, and he immediately connected the phone call as quickly as possible and chatted with the person on the other end of the phone.

"Huh? Is the situation a little tricky? V: They're all right... Well, I see, don't worry, give me ten seconds, I'll get rid of them, after waiting so long, it's time to close the net. ”

The orange eyes quickly dimmed, turning to a faint blue color.

[Knight, help me deal with the rest of the guys, I'm going to go over and catch that lark now, and the behind-the-scenes commander hiding in the apartment building.] Lin Mo commanded.

[It's a trivial matter. Knight replied.

Lin Mo nodded, stepped on the fence of the rooftop, and jumped down, reaching out and taking out a grenade from his pocket on the way.
