If the explosion that echoed in the abandoned building was just a "small fight" when the construction site started.

So the earth-shattering noise that now reverberates throughout Dog Town is undoubtedly a "big scene" that can only be seen when a building collapses on a construction site.

In fact, this description and metaphor are indeed good, the moment the missile completely fell, what appeared in Knight's eyes was a string of flames that rose into the sky.

The flames mingled in the thick black smoke, using the building as a base and nourishment, like a giant tree rising from the ground, and the fragments of broken concrete and glass crystals splashed and fell in all directions like rain, and the building shook with an ear-piercing painful sound.

The flames quickly spread to every floor of the building, and it was clear that the incoming missile was not an ordinary blasting warhead, but a specially treated incendiary warhead, otherwise a building with good fireproof materials would not have burned so easily.

Suddenly, Knight's mind flashed through Lin Mo's words just now - the enemy has done so many stupid acts, and its purpose is just to "play".

Maybe Knight had doubts about Lin Mo's words before, but now he had begun to trust Lin Mo's judgment a little.

yes, if the new White House and that President Myers really had a special purpose, why did they do that?

For the sake of a marginal team, he did not hesitate to risk using the missile launcher deployed in Dog Town, is this not clear that he is playing a trick on his own side?

Knight is well aware of the current situation in Dogtown - the missile that attacked the president's plane was not Hansen's handiwork, but the Xinmei agents hidden in Dogtown obeyed the organization's orders and deployed the launcher to shoot out.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, even if Hansen ordered the search for the equipment that launched the missile in the first place, nothing was found in the end, and the New American agents who did this thing had already wiped out all the clues.

Moreover, even if the missile's launcher were found, there would be no reason for Hansen to prove to the outside world that the device was not their own, given only physical evidence and no witnesses.

But now it's different, Xinmei's people actually chose this point in time, in broad daylight, to use a missile launcher in Dog Town, isn't this proper to put a basin on their heads?

Now that the investigation teams of various organizations and forces are watching the excitement in Dog Town, and all news media and radio stations are also pervasive, the Nether Dog Force has long been under the supervision of the public, and it is almost impossible to launch missiles on the open side.

And the appearance of a third-party force in Dogtown, and the launch of a powerful missile, is simply the best assist for Hansen.

Knight could already have a hunch that Hansen must be smiling crookedly by now, and with such a big commotion, he would definitely send a Nether Dog force to find out the coordinates of the missile launcher.

Regardless of whether or not substantial evidence can be found in the end, Hansen has a reason to prove his innocence.

If it weren't for "play", Knight couldn't figure out why President Myers would do it.

But what good is it for them to do so?

With thousands of thoughts running and calculating, Knight thought that he had never thought about such a complex question, but the answer to this question may be very simple, as simple as a question of [1+1=?] in the college entrance examination.

The answer is clear, but you can't be 100% sure.

"I kind of understand his concerns." Knight sighed, looked at the towering fire tree not far away, and muttered:

"It's been so long, why haven't they come back yet..."

"What are you still looking at? Is there anything nice about that collapsed building? ”

A confused inquiry suddenly came from behind him, causing Knight's expression to stiffen slightly.

He raised an eyebrow, and turned to look behind him rather helplessly.

Sure enough, the boy he was thinking about was standing in front of the car with a playful face, one hand propped up on the front cover of the car, his clothes were stained with charcoal black dust, and even his delicate face was dirty like a coal miner.

Behind the boy, all the members of Mann's team had been rescued, and the members of the team were lying on the ground crookedly, as if they had been brought here before they could react.

At present, only the other two men, who were also implanted in Sianweistein, remained decent, able to stand on the ground and look at the gradually devastated building in shock, and were speechless for a moment.

"You're pretty quick to react." Knight laughed and said what he thought was nonsense.

The boy in front of him is a partner he has certified as a partner, and he has been recognized by him for his extraordinary talent for manipulating the speed component alone, so how can the other party's reaction speed not be fast?

"How can you save people if you are not happy?" Lin Mo said in a brisk tone, walked leisurely to Knight with his hands in his pockets, and looked with him at the slowly collapsing building not far away.

The dust was flying, the fire was still fierce, and the air began to fill with a foul smell, and the flames pursued all the combustibles in the building, like a beast of prey chasing its prey and supplying itself.

"It looks like the fire will burn out until dusk, at least." Lin Mo's tone became flat, and he inadvertently changed the topic: "Did you sense the specific coordinates of the missile launcher?" ”

Knight nodded, and said with emotion: "Just over there in the stadium, the place where the investigation team of various forces parked their vehicles and placed sundries, if they hadn't taken the initiative to come out, no one would have thought that they would hide the device in that kind of place... It's the same as you say, it's bold and stupid. ”

"Well, Hansen should have sent someone over to investigate." Lin Mo didn't care much, and continued to ask:

"Did you find any special traces of your body in cyberspace?"

"Data traces?" Knight bowed his head slightly, carefully reviewed the data information he had just obtained, and said with confidence:

"Unfortunately, no."

Night City's network architecture is almost entirely handled by the Night Clan, and he is all too clear about his own network data, and Dogtown is no exception.

If there were any unusual fluctuations in the data flow, it would be almost impossible to hide from him.

"It's good if it doesn't, it means that there are no other AIs involved in this dispute at the moment, and the launch of the missile is not because of AI, but because it was artificially manipulated." Lin Mo said.

Knight asked in surprise, "Do you suspect that this missile was deliberately fired by another AI?" ”

"It's just a conjecture, according to Johnny, Spider Murphy is a hacker who is difficult to apply with ordinary people's way of thinking, simply put, the way of thinking is relatively out-of-the-box, this kind of person does everything without exception, seemingly stupid actions, who can guarantee that it is not her handiwork?" Lin Mo said seriously.

"Makes sense." Knight nodded.

If the stupid acts that Xinmei has done so far have been orchestrated by Myers, this president is too unqualified.

But if these bold and stupid actions were orchestrated by AI, then it is not surprising that the other side treats its agents as "consumables" and human life as a mustard.

"But I didn't find anything wrong, Murphy the spider is an AI consciousness with me, and if she does anything, I am confident that I can find it in time." Knight said.

Lin Mo sighed: "I hope so." ”

Today's fight, as well as the incoming missile, were recorded in last night's simulation.

That's why he called Knight over, hoping that he could find some clues in cyberspace.

Now, listening to Knight, he doesn't see anything wrong... That undoubtedly shows that the missile launch was artificial.

To be honest, Lin Mo didn't believe that the agents of the investigation team were all idiots.

These Xinmei agents who went out on missions, if their bosses are a bunch of brainless rice buckets, can barely explain the idiot action plan in recent days.

But the people who can work under the leadership can't all be idiots, even if the order is given to bomb the building, why did the agents choose to fire missiles at the stadium?

Can't you be flexible? It's good to disguise yourself a little.

"Damn, those cubs are so awesome, it's all in this situation now, they even dare to launch missiles, did any of you get their mom to bed, otherwise they would have done it to this extent?" The persecution coming from behind Lai Lai interrupted Lin Mo's thoughts.

Looking back, he saw Johnny finally recover from the "motion sickness" state, and after getting up, he looked at the building that was in flames, and he was also shocked and puzzled.

"How's it going, Johnny." Lin Mo asked with a smile.

"Heh, if I had turned back a few days ago, I wouldn't have been involved in anything." Johnny sneered and walked over to Lin Mo's side.

Knight playfully moved out of the way, and Johnny leaned back on the car.

He took out a lighter and a cigarette from his pocket, pressed the lighter switch, and a flame burst out from the small hole, and was brought to his eyes, gradually overlapping with the burning building in the distance.

He then placed the cigarette on the flame, as if it were a burning building that ignited the cigarette, and the white smoke from the cigarette blended with the black fog in the distance.

He put the cigarette in his mouth in satisfaction.

"It's a pity, boy, you don't smoke, there's no way to enjoy this little joy after victory." Johnny Silver spat out the smoke in his hand and looked at Lin Mo with regret.

"Yes, I also want to have a body that is invulnerable, so I can smoke whatever I want." Lin Mo pretended to be "sad", and then put on an expression of sudden realization, and then said:

"I almost forgot that you are invincible now, I would have taken you out if I knew that I would have taken you out, what kind of energy can you have to smoke cigarettes? Smoke the smoking building. ”

The corners of Johnny's mouth twitched, obviously being a little annoyed by Lin Mo.

However, after getting along for so long, he also knew Lin Mo's temperament a little, but he didn't react, just continued to smoke calmly.

"Let's talk about it, these days you stay in the combat team, follow David and them to fight against the new American agents, did you have any special physical conditions when you fought? If there is any hidden disease, say it quickly, don't be ashamed, otherwise it will suddenly wither when it is time to do business, and it will be a lot of fun. Lin Mowei said with a smile.

"Get out, Lao Tzu is in good health, not as unbearable as you say." Johnny glanced at Lin Mo with disgust.

Chatting with this kid really didn't end well, there were little thorns in and out of the words, poking you from time to time, it's really disgusting.

"I'm worried about you, after all, it's still unknown whether this body of yours can adapt to high-intensity combat, and you forgot the plan I said earlier? Battles are inevitable at that point, and if you have a problem now, you still have time to improve it. Lin Mo said seriously.

The reason why he deliberately targeted the agents sent by the New American Investigation Team was to thwart the other party's plan on the one hand, and on the other hand, to train the various members of Mann Team.

By the way, he also let Johnny get involved, so that Johnny can get used to the rhythm of the battle in advance.

Before, Johnny and V were allowed to walk together, and with the great god V present, Johnny couldn't touch any real battles.

It's good now, let him warm up early, lest it really come to the time to fight, and he doesn't know how much he can do.

"The experience is not bad, although many times it is not as good as my past body, but this body is still quite durable, it is still alive and kicking after being hit by a bullet, and it is also more powerful in combat, much stronger than me in the past." Johnny thought about it for a moment, and finally replied honestly.

Lin Mo suddenly laughed, and sighed helplessly:

"You used to be an antique from more than 50 years ago, and now it's 2077, and there are so many advances in science and technology, how can it be worse than you used to?"

"So you're satisfied now?" Johnny spread his hands and said indifferently, "I can't be a good thug, does it make you feel like a failure?" ”

"That's not it, anyway, I don't expect your little combat power to be of much use, when it comes to the day of the plan, you should honestly hand over the battle to your teammates, you can play a greater role in other aspects." Lin Mo gave him an encouraging look back, and patted Johnny on the shoulder again, looking like "Boy, I'm very optimistic about you".

Johnny Silver may be a good hand in combat, but I'm afraid it's only a good hand.

His glamorous performance in the game is only the fact that he manipulated V's body to defeat Adam's hammer head-on in the game ending.

There's even another NPC assisting in the process...

So after thinking about it, and it is impossible for Johnny Silver Hand to "possess" V now, Lin Mo feels that Johnny should be honestly a "mascot".

No one says that a rock kid has to be very good at fighting.

"Cut." Johnny looked disdainful, took off the cigarette that he had almost finished smoking in his mouth, stomped it out with his foot, and lazily walked away from Lin Mo.

Seeing him leave, Lin Mo didn't mean to stay, but beckoned and called David and Mann over.

"Good performance." Lin Mo smiled and gave a summary:

"Now you can go back and rest, make up for the unfinished vacation, and what happens next, you can also see on the TV news at home."

"That's the end of it?" Mann was quite dissatisfied, "I haven't even used that bazooka yet." ”

"There will be opportunities in the future." Lin Mo said: "By the way, I asked you to insert the Mewtwo recording chip, and you haven't forgotten the video recorded in advance, right?" ”

"Here." David next to him smiled and nodded his forehead with his finger.

"Well, remember to give me the chip before you leave, I'll still be useful." Lin Mo nodded.

Mann frowned, a little puzzled, and asked:

"You asked us to shoot the video, did you want to keep the video evidence for that guy Hansen?"

"No, this is just to document how your Mann Team and Dogtown leader Hansen got to know each other, and to explain the origin of your heavy firepower in the future... After all, we always have to give the audience a reasonable explanation. Lin Mo said without concealment.

"Records?"

So far, the two who still haven't learned about the final plan from Lin Mo are very confused.

What records? Is there anything worth documenting the process of their acquaintance with Hansen, and they are not celebrities.

"You'll find out later, now let's go home and sleep first." Lin Mo smiled gently:

"In the next few days, remember to watch the news on TV at home."
