Bryce is actually quite powerful, as can be seen from the fact that he quietly brought down a hacker.

However, most people are unaware of the complexity of cybercrime, especially in Night City.

First of all, let me ask the first question, you didn't make the blackout in the company square, did you?"

"It's not."

Lille shook his head in denial at Bryce's words.

At this point, it didn't matter what the cyber supervisor thought, Lille remembered what Bryce had said earlier: don't talk about cybercrime in front of him.

Maybe the cyber monitor is suspicious of him, maybe the cyber monitor is testing him, or maybe the cyber monitor thinks that the hacker who caused the blackout is someone else.

It is also possible that the network supervisor performs official duties with the above three attitudes at the same time.

Network monitoring is not a single person, a mature organization can do multi-threading, and even follow several different ideas to advance the work in different directions at the same time.

Of course, it depends on how rich their resources are.

It looks like Bryce is running into trouble with a lack of resources.

The agent glanced at him: "Since we are going to cooperate, we will also give each other a secret, and support your hackers in the company square, how much do you know?" ”

"I don't know, Faraday doesn't like people asking around."

Thank you, Faraday.

Thank you for your contribution to the cause of Burger King's production secrecy.

Thinking so, Lille nibbled on the burger.

Bryce continued: "Then it looks like he's got the hell out of Faraday, and he's a cunning cybercriminal.

And the power outage in the company square caused by him also caused a large amount of cyberspace data to be damaged and lost, and the night city cybercrime occurred within 6 hours after the power outage

It's not just cybercrime, the number of crimes has skyrocketed, interrupting our original work route.

There are now more incidents that require the verification of leads and evidence and the rescheduling of work. ”

"Like the lizardmen?"

Bryce glanced at it: "Military technology sometimes buys data from cyber surveillance, and your affairs at the border can also be part of the deal." ”

"But these days, data transactions are not true." Lille kind reminder.

"I don't need you to remind you – back to what you're going to do, I have a couple of cybercrime things on hand that need to be verified.

You can pick and choose: First thing, investigate Genting: I need the work records of several senior sex couples in Genting. ”

Lille raised his eyebrows: "The sex puppet chip shouldn't record the situation when it's working." ”

"That's the problem, I suspect that there are high-end sex couples who record information while serving their customers, and in fact this may not be uncommon in Night City, but I wonder what they are logging."

Bryce also pointed at Lille with the leftover chicken leg bone as he spoke—

This guy is also very good at eating.

Lille reached out and pulled his hand away: "I have a question, I also want to get some sex puppet chips, can I do it privately."

"No, you can't! I said don't say this in front of me, are you deaf! ”

"Okay, okay, my question - what else?"

"The second thing. I actually don't recommend you to take this job, someone is stealing the personal information of Deputy Mayor Hoth, but he hasn't reported it to the police, probably because he found someone from Arasaka to do network security. ”

"Then why did you get up on your own?"

"Thanks to the hackers who hired you." Bryce wiped his mouth, "We were in cyberspace law enforcement on the night of the blackout, and we found something interesting

Arasaka may have used a top-of-the-line cyberspace killing weapon, and we wonder what the value of this little minion is worth moving out of this weapon.

As for why I don't recommend you do this job: it has something to do with Arasaka, it has something to do with the deputy mayor, but your entry point is to investigate the cybercriminal activities of the gangsters.

The authority is low, the operation space is small, the matter is big, and the reward on the surface. It won't be too much. ”

It does sound dangerous – but the pay is actually tempting.

The reward on the surface is not much, but I didn't say anything in private.

"Anything else?"

"The last thing, in fact, I prefer you to choose this: help me break through the subnet of the Voodoo Gang, although there is no conclusive evidence, but I am sure that the attack on the black wall will come from the brains of these gods!"

As he spoke, Bryce gritted his teeth a little: "These brain-dead people are poking holes in the black wall for 24 hours, I don't even know what they are trying to do!"

If you choose this, whatever you do, the NCPD and the network monitor will turn a blind eye to your behavior.

It's better to physically break it! ”

"Funny, buddy, I'll pick the first one."

Bryce stared at Lille's smiling face, lost in thought—a little different from what he had thought.

"I thought you'd lean towards the third, after all, it's the hard work you're best at."

"We are hard, but who is not afraid of the methods of the Voodoo Gang?"

"I can provide you with internet support."

"I'm scared of that, too—you don't mind if I say that, do you?

Since this is the first time to cooperate, it is better to keep a certain distance, so let's start with the first commission.

As for the latter two, let's talk about it then, maybe you will change your mind when the result comes out? ”

"Yes." Bryce wiped his mouth and transferred the money for the meal to the boss, "It's better to do the things in Genting to be more hidden, so that people can't notice that we cut in to investigate the sex puppet chip."

I don't go to the kilns, I don't know these places, what are my good ideas? ”

"Well, there are so many gangs in Night City, find a reason, and you can change the top of the cloud to the sky with a shell."

"Gang fights? No, the fight is over - and it's the Tiger Claw Gang that covers the clouds, where do you go to find a gang that is willing to fight them to the death for sex puppetry?

Not to mention the Mox gang - we all know these two are not on the same level. ”

Lille touched his chin: "Then how about law enforcement?" Start with some perverted criminals of the Tiger Claw Gang and accidentally rub against the clouds? And do something good for Night City. ”

"This one does." Bryce's prosthetic eyes flashed with data, and he quickly found what he was looking for.

"There is a pervert named Shoho Jotaro in the NCPD database, and the pornography, gambling and drug dragon may have some intersection with Genting, you can try it.

If you need NCPD support, I can help you get started. ”

"Besides—you're not going to let me go to work tonight, are you? I'm a freelancer and don't accept finger-pointing during working hours. ”

Bryce sighed helplessly: "How do I feel that I have such a good attitude towards you that you think I am an uncle?" ”

"Not really, I have a lot of respect for the front line of humans' protection against dangerous AI, but you have to give me some time to prepare, right?"

Bryce complained in his heart about Lille's nonsense: If you hadn't mocked me about my working hours just now, I would have believed you.

He got up and patted his coat: "You will be given 24 hours at most, the black wall is under attack every minute, our work is very important, and there is no room for delay."

Then there's your access permit – as long as you're doing things for us, use this new license number, and this number can be connected to cyberspace.

But if you enter Cyberspace with a different number."

"I know—it's an illegal license to enter cyberspace, it's a second-degree felony, promise not to commit it, officer!"

Lille saluted, and a series of hints to reconnect popped up with the prosthetic eye:

[Network access license number issuance: NIGHTCITY-NETWATCH-D-GOI66523]

You've reconnected to the network. 】

Re-entered the network.

"If only you understood."

Seeing that the agent was about to leave, Lille asked another question: "By the way, man, why don't you suspect that I am the hacker who caused the blackout?" ”

"It's simple - your technique is solid, but it's not ingenious and it's not advanced, if you use that old-fashioned backward method to make an EMP of that scale"

Bryce pointed to his head: "Your cranial nerves are simply not burning enough, even if you have a server in a whole room, you may not be able to withstand this kind of impact."

And this kind of trace can't escape our eyes. ”

Lille knew -

In fact, the network monitor guessed correctly, his cranial nerves burned at least 20 rounds that night, and an entire room of servers was burned - just not in this world.

"Still." Bryce's tone changed sharply, and his tone was a little cold, "If it is really the EMP you created, the network surveillance will destroy you with all its power." ”

The dude has always behaved very kindly—beyond imagination, and even makes people forget that he is a cyber surveillance agent.

But only the world's top hackers can serve cyber surveillance, and accordingly, these agents will be equipped with the best hacking equipment.

And after the collapse of the old network, there are no wild hackers who can compete with them.

If cyber surveillance is targeting someone

The hacker lying in the gutter not far away is the end, and there is no difference between crushing that guy and crushing a bug.

"By the way, I saw that you seem to be looking for hacker costumes, so I thought it was an outsourced benefit, and I applied to the logistics department to help you apply for equipment supplies.

When you get back, remember to enter the custom data in the mailbox - see you in Cyberspace. ”

Bryce finished speaking and left the food stall.

Lille sat in his chair, thinking about his next move.
