Chapter 21: Walmart and Burger King

"Leave me alone, I'm just a high school dropout, with no money, no parents, and no home!

Now only at the end of 17 years old, the child is still young and ignorant, just passing by, please don't think about it!

If you can't get angry, please call the police and transfer me to the NYPD for the police to deal with me, it's illegal to abuse lynching! ”

The girl lay on the ground with her hands folded, muttering high-speed words begging for mercy, and the three of Lille couldn't get it.

Lille watched it for a long time, and probably had a guess in his heart.

In 2011, after the dot-com bubble burst, the industry finally began to pick up.

The development of the network will naturally bring about an increase in the number of hackers, and this girl is estimated to be a half-baked hacker.

Just don't know what kind of hacker she is - for money or so-called for justice and truth?

"What's your name?"

"Jenkins! Forehead... Jenkins Walmart! Uh, I mean, Walton! ”

The girl stammered, and as she spoke, her eyes glancing at the convenience store in the distance.

Maybe it's not so fake, and I quickly think of a large supermarket that has a little to do with convenience stores.

Lille was full of black lines: "Oh? yes, it's nice to meet you, Ms. Walton, and my name is Dennis Burger King! ”

The girl looked up and blinked with big eyes: "Hello, Mr. Burger King, I really just passed by..."

"Are you being funny? You're hacking, right, who are you working for? ”

The girl hesitated for a moment, struggled with her face, looked at the two expressionless strong men behind Lille, suddenly looked at death as if she were at home, closed her eyes and shouted:

"I work for truth and justice! You can't scare me! The truth will one day be revealed in the sun, and we..."

Lille cupped his forehead and pinched the girl's face, who could only pout and whine, and glared at each other:

"Stop shouting, do you have to shout to call the people from the New York municipality? So you're a hacker with a sense of mission, and I'm going to use this line too, can you get out of here if you don't work? ”

The girl glared and nodded.

"Good."

Lille put down the girl and walked to the distribution box on his own.

There is a data interface along the vein at his wrist, which is used to make a human-machine connection.

The interface reads the information, processes the electrical signals, and uploads them to a modified cranial nerve attachment processor, which uses the brain as a computing storage to process the data.

However, if other operating system prostheses are implanted in the nerve center, which is the spine, other nerves can be used for calculations.

The whole system is one of the basic technologies of the Cyberpunk 2077 world, the brain-computer interface.

Of course, Lille has specially built a data conversion joint, and the interfaces between the two worlds are not physically compatible.

Lille twisted his shoulders as he worked on the data.

Because he found that the girl just now did not leave, but peeped behind him.

β€œ...”

Lille leaned sideways again, blocking his personal link, and the girl tiptoed.

The two bodyguards also moved.

It's like an eagle catching a chicken.

Lille turned his head again with black lines: "Let you fuck off, what are you still doing here?" ”

"Uh... Learn technology, you're a hacker too, right? Do you remember what the spirit of the Internet is? Share..."

"Stupid." Lille scolded, and then suddenly it occurred to me that this girl was quite self-motivated.

Why don't you come to work and help out-of-school girls get re-employed?

"Hmm... What is your name? Seriously, or get out of here. ”

The girl hesitated: "My name is Skye, I guess you shouldn't be those bad people, right?" ”

Skye - Hearing the name, Lille quickly matches up with the "Marvel Character Database" in his head.

This girl is really a hacker, nicknamed Shock Wave Girl, she was a powerful hacker before she awakened her superpowers, and she is obviously in the early stages of her hacker career.

According to the normal trajectory of life, after that, he will be hacked to someone who shouldn't be hacked, and then he will be recruited by S.H.I.E.L.D. or something.

Lille asked rhetorically, "Which bad guys?" How do you guess? ”

"You know, it's those bad people who are now boiling to demolish and kill people with toothpicks, don't you wonder how they did it?"

"Not curiousβ€”I'll have to know sooner or later, anyway." Lille pulled the sleeve of his coat to cover the hole in the vein, revealing only the data cable.

"You can learn the technology, but it's not free, so why don't you mess with me.

I was hired to upgrade the owner's security system, and of course, to protect against the potential danger of a toothpick killing. ”

"Huh? Do you have the money to take it? ”

"No, they teach you skills for free, they offer you jobs, and you still want a salary? You're taking advantage of all the good things, aren't you? ”

Lille replied so confidently that it made Skye wonder if it was the law of the adult world.

But it's good to learn some skills, and I'll talk about that later.

Skye finally decided: "Good! So decided! You two bodyguards..."

"Let her come." Lille waved his hand, and the two bodyguards made way for Skye.

Of course, now they can't hold back their cold expressions anymore, how to follow Lille, just the first day can see the wonder of normal work that they can't see.

Could it be that this society is so colorful in the first place?

Skye stepped forward, but couldn't see anything, as Lille didn't use his phone or computer to hack in.

Intuitively, Lille just pulled a line and stood still.

Once the data processing is complete, all that remains is to change the wiring and allow the newly effective protocol to kick in on the physical level.

"Done? And then what? What about your computer? What about your tools? ”

"It's not enough for a real hacker to use a computer."

Lille went straight to the ground and unplugged a few network cables, and then found the interface he was looking for in the intricate mountain-style lines.

The speed, precision and decisiveness of the movements made Skye adored for a while.

Old hackers! Definitely a veteran!

"Wow, how did you do that?"

"I'm a veteran, I can see at a glance how to wiring it, okay - the base station here is for me.

I'm going to install a back door in the substation, come with me. ”

The security trio adds a chirping girl, and Lille explains to him what he's doing as he goes.

"When it comes to hackers, everyone thinks it's the kind of gloomy man with glasses who squats in a rental house, has a computer next to it, and the floor is full of garbage, and he sits for days.

In fact, no, those who stay on the Internet all day long and do not go out will at most deceive their personal privacy through online fraud.

It's hard to be fooled by people who are really involved in secrets, so it's important to find the target physically. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! That's what it says on BBS! But the wiring in this place is really hellish, and it is said that there have been accidents with electricians before, and I don't know what happened..."

"What BBS?"

"Uh... A forum called Rising Tide, don't you know? A lot of hackers are out there. ”

"Only the weak are in groups, you will leave those guys alone if you mess with me in the future--"

Lille pointed to the gate of the substation not far away, and said to the three of them, "See? After a while we walked straight in, and I would say we were electricians, and we went in to check and pretended to be a little bit. ”

"Just walk over there?" The three of them spoke in unison.

Lille nodded: "Just walk in, don't speak, don't have too many expressions on your face, and be behind me, be natural." ”

"But..."

John and Anthony looked at each other, and they could see the doubt and hesitation in each other's eyes.

I'm going to be caught...

Lille said seriously: "Listen to me, if the surveillance can't be restored, you believe me, and in the future, others will enter the house and rob it, and you will only dare to watch." ”

Skye didn't hesitate - even if he failed, he would be kicked out.

If it succeeds - I'll go, this is the hacker god!

The three of them gathered their emotions and followed Lille towards the substation, all three of whom were a little weak except for Lille.

Sure enough, the security guards stopped them.

"We're new here, and we've been called in to investigate a strange set of electricity readings, possibly someone stealing electricity," Lille said. ”

Before the security guard could continue to ask questions, his phone rang.

It was a text message from a senior engineer on the station.

"Immediately there will be a team of electricians to look into the readings, three men and one woman."

The security guard still felt that something was wrong - these three people didn't look like electricians?

"Where's your work card, work clothes, and tools?"

As soon as Lille was about to explain, the security guard received another text message: "Their stuff is inside, and the leader is called Dennis Burger King."

By the way, his work area is in the A2 area. ”

β€œ... Our stuff is in it, I'm Dennis, and the senior engineer should have reported it to me. ”

Lille's explanation matched the text message the security guard had received, and there was no reason for him to intercept it.

"Well... Let's go inside. ”

Watching Lille and his party walk in, the security guard looked at the four of them vigilantly--

If they go wrong, that's a bit of a problem, right?

But Lille certainly wouldn't be wrong – the engineer happened to have a picture on his phone.

It is the identification map of each working area in the substation.

The security guard shook his head and walked back to his post.

"What's the weird name, 'Burger King'..."
