Chapter 490: Dog Eats Dog? NO!
Business cars pass through the roads of Night City, the street lights on both sides of the lanes gradually change from scarce to common, and the city's scene slowly brightens up with the sound of engines, and the dark city gradually becomes colorful.
Johnny Silver sat in the back seat with his hand on his face, his face cloudy, the light outside the window shining on his face, and the intersection of light and shadow kept flashing on his face as the car moved.
After being silent for I don't know how long, as if he had just recovered from his thoughts, Johnny Silver tilted his head slightly, glanced sideways at the red-haired female hacker beside him, and asked in a deep voice:
"Chick, you really didn't recognize the wrong person? Is the AI that reached a consensus with President Howbird really a spider? ”
"This life of mine is in your hands right now, and I still have the black wall AI in my head that wanted to occupy my body at that moment... I've been like this already, is there any good in me lying to you? The lark smiled faintly, her delicate eyes were full of curiosity, and she looked Johnny's silver hand up and down:
"But I really didn't expect that Mr. Johnny Silverhand, who lived in the rumors, would now be able to reappear in the world in this way... If Murphy the Spider knew about this, he would have a lot to say to you. ”
Johnny Silver glanced at the lark in some surprise and asked:
"Can you see who I am?"
You must know that the body that Lin Mo and Knight carefully prepared for him, although it is still inferior to the real body in many aspects, in daily life, almost no one can see that he is a pure "prosthetic person".
Even Rogge, who had worked with him in the past, and even V, who had fought side by side with him in the past few days, did not recognize his "true face" at first glance as a string of data consciousness.
Now that the lark has insight into his essence at a glance, could it be that Lin Mo told her the situation in advance?
"Don't look at me, she saw it herself, didn't you see that hacker prosthetic body on her? The most advanced hacking component of today's era allows hackers to perceive cyberspace in the real world without going through the hacker base station, and your appearance camouflage can't be hidden in her eyes. ”
Lin Mo in the driver's seat shrugged his shoulders indifferently, saw Johnny looking at him through the rearview mirror, and explained in a flat tone.
Knight also smiled duly and said softly:
"We'll talk about this little thing later, the most important thing now is your opinion, what does Mr. Silverhand think of Spider Murphy."
Johnny Silver was silent for a while, and he also understood the reason why Lin Mo let him get into the car and talk in detail
- Analyze what kind of person Murphy the spider is through his own data memory.
"Spiders... To be honest, I only know that she is a very reliable hacker, giving people the impression of being more lively, just like an innocent little girl, who always pops out of her mouth with some words that are difficult for us to understand, and her way of thinking is more off-line. He thought for a moment before he said.
"She chose to work with Miles now, what do you think would be the reason?" Lin Mo asked.
The corners of Johnny's silver hand tugged at the corners of his mouth, and he smiled without laughing:
"When I used to work with her, the things that made her interested were mostly related to hacking, like hacking into the databases of large companies, the latest hacking components, breaching data fortresses... These are the only things that will make her serious, and now you're telling me she's messing around with Miles, and the hell knows what she's for. ”
A person who behaves off-line and is only interested in hackers, cyberspace, and the like will come to the new president without warning, and then negotiate mutually beneficial terms with each other?
It's been decades since Spider Murphy became a cyberspace "ghost", and her appearance without warning must be for the benefit of the real world.
Lin Mo frowned and made a guess:
"Could it be that Miles has something in his hands that interests her? Otherwise, I can't figure it out, with her identity and strength in cyberspace, it can't be that she suddenly finds Miles because of her broken brain. ”
"I can't guess either." Knight sighed and calmly analyzed:
"According to my intelligence network, she has never shown a thirst for the real world before, and unlike Ms. Ott, she is too low-key, and even though we are aware of her existence, we still can't get any useful information about her."
Lin Mo secretly observed Knight, and was quite surprised in his heart.
He didn't expect that this mysterious Mr. Blue Eye, who was unpredictable in the game, was now confused about the appearance of Murphy the spider.
As for "whether Knight will hide and deceive himself in this matter", Lin Mo had this kind of speculation, but quickly put the conjecture behind him.
As the launch date of the final plan draws closer, and the New Year is approaching in a month or two, there is not much time left for them.
At this juncture, Murphy's sudden appearance was undoubtedly an unplanned "accident", and given the close cooperation between him and Knight, delaying the project would not benefit either party.
There is no intelligence ... And it's also a legendary boss in cyberspace, but if Spider Murphy is allowed to mess around, the devil knows what she'll do.
This unstable and restless factor must be eliminated in advance, and her purpose must be understood.
At the very least, make sure that she doesn't interfere with her future plans.
"By the way, since he is cooperating with the president of a dignified country, what benefits did Spider Murphy promise to Miles? Can she go crazy and choose to cooperate with AI in violation of international law? Lin Mo threw the topic to the lark.
"I don't know, with the identities of the two of them, the conversation between the two sides must never be revealed to any outsiders, there is Murphy the spider, and eavesdropping is an impossible thing... And after they had finished talking about it, I was manipulated by Murphy the spider, and the blackwall AI took over my consciousness, and I had no idea what happened after that. The lark said.
Knight smiled and calmly judged:
"Don't guess, there are countless data treasures beyond the black wall, all of which have become ownerless after the data collapse, and with Spider Murphy's own hacking ability, all the chips add up to enough for Miles to help the country regain its former greatness."
"Great again?" Lin Mo smiled slightly.
President Xinmei is an ambitious woman, but Xinmei is only a small country...
For no reason, Lin Mo inexplicably thought of what the agent named Li De said.
For this kind of elite agent who is determined to serve the country and would rather die than give in to make such an objective and derogatory evaluation is enough to show that the new US president is indeed not an ordinary person.
However, a person who can have such ambition and succeed in becoming president will certainly not lack rationality comparable to ambition.
Knowing that there will be huge hidden dangers in cooperating with Spider Murphy, once the communication between the two sides leaks out, she will inevitably usher in a doomous ending... But she still chose to do it...
With just one spider Murphy, can she really give up all the risks to cooperate?
If we think about it from another angle, what if the new US President Myers was coerced and deceived, so he had to cooperate?
The more he thought about it, the more gloomy Lin Mo's expression became.
Maybe... This spider Murphy's origin is much bigger than they currently expected.
At this time, he glanced at the clock in the car - 23:22, less than an hour before the next day.
"Let's talk slowly, I'm thinking while driving, I'm already a little tired, let's relax for a while."
Lin Mo yawned, casually adjusted the vehicle to automatic driving mode, and then took out the Mewtwo headband from his waist bag and put it on his head without saying a word.
"Grass, you kid is really! Choose this time to play Mewtwo... Wait a minute, don't be seen by Lao Tzu You put your hand into the crotch of your pants, Lao Tzu is disgusting! Johnny Silverhand laughed a little angrily.
Knight glanced at Lin Mo in surprise, but didn't say anything, after all, in his impression, this boy was a weirdo... The logic of the behavior is unusually unpredictable.
And as an outsider, the lark won't say anything about it.
The Mewtwo Simulator was activated, and the simulated deeds of the next day began to be listed in front of Lin Mo's eyes:
[In the early hours of the next morning, send Silverhand, Knight and the others back to their respective homes, and you finally return to your own home. 】
[As soon as you stepped into the house, before you had time to sit down and rest, you suddenly saw Xu Wanxue hurrying towards you, and from her mouth, you heard bad news. 】
[The elite agent you captured and the commander behind last night's attack - Li De, actually planted a high-intensity time bomb in advance at the knee of his right leg, which was detonated in vain on the way back to Kangtao Company, resulting in the death of several Kangtao security guards, and Li De himself died in the explosion. 】
[You frown and ask about the exact time of the explosion.] 】
[Xu Wanxue answered: 00:15 minutes. 】
You're surprised. 】
[In the previous simulation rehearsal, you already knew that Li De planted a bomb in the palm of his hand in advance, so during the arrest last night, you also took the lead in cutting off Li De's palm to avoid the risk of the bomb detonating. 】
[Plant a bomb inside your body in advance... This practice can barely be understood as "preventing leaks caused by failed operations", so that the person who might leak the leak will commit suicide in order to keep it secret. 】
[What the hell can you plant two bombs in a row?] Do you think a bomb is not safe enough? So why do you have to set the detonation time of the bomb to the next day? 】
[The series of questions confuses you, but there is no one to answer for you, you only know that the elite agent you have high hopes for is dead, and the death is unknown and worthless. 】
[You cleaned up your mood, sighed silently a few times, and didn't take this matter too seriously. 】
[After all, you only have a one-sided relationship with that agent, and the reason why you left the other party's life is just to use him, and now that this chess piece is ruined, you will regret it for a while at most.] 】
[No words all night...]
【......】
【... It's noon, and a sudden news instantly attracts all your energy]
[Sky One, a luxury private jet, the exclusive car of the new US President Myers, crashed into the Dog Town area of Taiping Chau in the night city without warning! 】
[All kinds of news are noisy, and people reasonably guess that this must be a conspiracy by the leader of Dog Town, Hansen!] 】
[In addition to this speculation, they can't think of a second possibility, after all, it can't be that the president of the United States himself wants to carry out this kind of suicide crash, right? 】
[You can't have predicted this accident in advance, you can only watch media companies around the world rush to cover it.] 】
[The news station has exploded, and all the news program hosts are reasonably suspicious that Colonel Hansen, the leader of Dogtown, has the brains to attack the private car of the new American president.] 】
[All kinds of news, true or false, began to flood this lively city, and everyone was speculating about the motives and purpose of Colonel Hansen's attack on the president of the new United States.] 】
【... In the evening, the White House spokesman announced that he would take violent measures to suppress the area of Night City Dogtown, and do everything possible to save the new American president, all of which is based on the president's personal safety. 】
[It's a messy day...]
[There are so many things that happened in one day, and you think about it like this: the mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings. 】
[Mock evaluation: dog eats dog? NO! 】
