Is there such a thing?
This is none of his business!
Looking at the deeds displayed on the simulator in front of him, Lin Mo felt a little surprised and surprised at first, but then he realized it was an unexpected surprise.
What a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I didn’t expect that after waiting for so many days and simulating the commissioning process over and over on the simulator, I finally got results today.
This is like playing a game that has been hard for many days, and at this moment, I finally passed the stuck level.
To say that he was unhappy in his heart would of course be a lie, and Lin Mo was relieved.
Although he did not rely on his own hard power to get through, but successfully sneaked in due to an unexpected incident, in the end it was also because he had insisted on simulating the rewards of the commission every day for so many days.
Lin Mo was also grateful for this. If he had missed enabling the simulation today, he would have missed such a good opportunity tomorrow night.
"We can't wait any longer. Tomorrow night is the best opportunity. If we hesitate to move forward, Arasaka Seaside's defensive strength will definitely be further improved after this attack. It will be even more difficult to infiltrate in the future. "
Lin Mo put his hand on his chin and analyzed it carefully.
After all, it was an unexpected event. Regarding the content of the simulated deeds, "I" was not prepared in the first place.
So when they arrived at the outer area of Arasaka Beach, this group of suspected animal gangs were fighting fiercely with the security guards.
If he had been prepared in advance, Lin Mo would have preferred to execute the plan during the time when this group of people first attacked Arasaka Beach.
The very beginning means the initial stage.
As long as he leads everyone to wait there in advance, when that time comes, once this group of suspected animal gangs begin to attack Arasaka Beach, the vigilance of all security personnel will be raised to the highest level.
It is naturally a bad thing if the enemy's vigilance reaches its highest level when executing an infiltration plan.
But for this group of "baits" facing a head-on confrontation, the enemy's vigilance has risen to the highest level, which means that all security forces will be concentrated on them.
For infiltration operations, this turned out to be a good thing.
Lin Mo still knows the principle of making great efforts, then failing again, and finally exhausting himself.
If you want to maximize the benefits of this unexpected incident, you must execute the infiltration plan at the initial stage when this group of decoys attacks Arasaka Beach.
Thinking of this, Lin Mo also quickly got up from the bed and walked to the desk to delete his plans.
In addition, he also wrote [Lucy]'s name on the edge of the paper, circled it, and then put a big question mark next to it.
"Judging from the text content given by the simulator, it seems that Miss Lucy also hides a lot of secrets..." Lin Mo murmured to himself.
——She can easily bypass Arasaka Company's ice protection.
This means that the other party definitely had some connection with Arasaka Company in his past life.
Combined with Lucy's current apparent age, her inexplicable hostility towards Arasaka Company, and her impressive hacking skills, the combination of various factors is enough for Lin Mo to make a very reasonable guess.
Lucy is most likely a hacker trained by Arasaka, and at worst, she was harmed by Arasaka Company due to some reasons in the past.
So much so that she studied Arasaka Company's protective network in order to one day have revenge.
But, everyone has some secrets. If the person involved doesn't explain clearly, Lin Mo won't even think of asking.
Even if Sasha hadn't explained the incident in the biotechnology building in person, Lin Mo wouldn't have gone into it.
He only cares about one thing.
That is whether these people can be used for themselves.
After briefly adjusting the details of the plan, it was late at night, and Lin Mo couldn't help but yawn, turned around and lay down on the bed.
...
Time soon came to the evening of the next day, the dim sunlight struggled on the earth, and the sky seemed to be coated with a golden filter.
Company Square, Arasaka Academy, inside the classroom.
The bell rang loudly, and the AI teacher happened to finish reading the last word of the lesson. He immediately said goodbye to the students politely and mechanically without any delay, and disappeared into the classroom without stopping for a second.
Lin Mo exhaled, with a relaxed look on his face, as if he had completed some kind of difficult trial, and now this torture was finally coming to an end.
He stood up, looked at David, who was sitting next door, and slapped him hard on the butt without any scruples, causing the latter to give him a painful look.
Lin Modan asked with a smile:
"How are you, are you ready for tonight's mission? Your mother probably won't ask too much."
"You are the boss and I am an employee. How could I not follow your orders?"
David replied casually, with a slightly unhappy tone. He caught Lin Mo's attention with his backhand and wanted to slap him on the butt.
But Lin Mo, whose reaction speed was astonishing, easily grasped his restless hand.
The scheming and miscalculated David sighed, retracted his hand, faced Lin Mo's contemptuous eyes, and said gloomily:
"My mother has already negotiated it. It's okay to go back later today."
"That's good, let's go quickly. Everyone should be waiting for us at Lizzy Bar now."
Lin Mo smiled and nodded, patted David on the shoulder, and the two of them walked faster towards the parking lot.
Not long after, a Sword in the Stone drove onto the road and rushed towards Watson District at high speed.
...
Lizzy Bar.
The ballroom of the bar is still lit with neon lights as before, and the beams of light floating back and forth form an airtight network. People coming and going are in high spirits, and the guests sitting on the sofas and chairs are as quiet as virgins. , wearing the Mewtwo headband and immersed in another world.
In this kind of place, you can always find a way to relax that suits you, whether it's dancing with a female partner in reality, or quietly immersing yourself in your own virtual world.
Sometimes, you can even find a secluded place to meet with your friends and discuss things.
A large private room in the bar was now packed with people. Everyone stared at each other, and the atmosphere was somewhat silent for a moment.
There are a lot of cheap sofas in the box for guests to sit on. The huge box space is now clearly divided into two halves, one half is occupied by members of Mann's team, and the other half is occupied by a few scattered people led by Jack.
The two big men sat facing each other, with an air of resistance. In the middle was a glass table embedded in the ground.
The expressions of the two people are also different.
One person wears sunglasses and has a serious face.
One person had a humble face and a faint smile.
If we had to find something in common, it would probably be that both of them are strong men with tough faces and burly bodies.
Sasha sat behind Jack, her posture upright, her hands clasped quietly on her thighs, a helpless smile on her lips, and her eyes looking at the blond woman opposite.
Facing the gaze of his old friend, Dolio shrugged helplessly and spread his hands, as if to say that there was nothing he could do.
On the contrary, the girl with twin tails on her head stood in the middle of the two big guys with great interest, pretending to be the referee, and ordered with a delicate tone of voice, pretending to be majestic:
"ready, go!"
At the command, Jack suddenly stretched out his thick arm, and Mann, who was sitting opposite, also stretched out his arm without showing any signs of weakness.
In an instant, the two people's palms were clasped together, and the arms stretched out by both sides were as strong as ordinary people's thighs, swaying and tilting to both sides from time to time.
"Mann, why haven't you eaten today? Knock this big guy down quickly!"
"Big guy, you can't lose. Come on, Xiaolin Moko admires you. If you lose, he will definitely not be happy."
Rebecca's voice of fearing that the world would not be chaotic rang in their ears, and they were fighting back and forth mischievously like little devils. They looked at the arm-wrestling match in front of them with excitement in their eyes.
However, despite her harassment, the two contestants remained focused. The smile on Jack's face gradually disappeared, and a little sweat broke out on his forehead.
Although Mann, who was sitting across from him, was not that tired, his calm expression gradually became a bit astonished.
The situation was still at a stalemate, and both of them were evenly matched at first, but as time went by, Jack gradually showed signs of physical exhaustion.
There is no other reason. Even if the original physical arm is well-trained, it is impossible to have a "weak period" like a mechanical prosthetic arm.
Mann's arm is obviously a modified prosthetic hand.
Although the skin of this thick arm was replaced with bionic skin, during the game, the subtle metal rubbing sound made by his exerting arm was enough to prove that it was a metal prosthetic hand.
In the end, the game was won by Mann.
With a wry smile appearing on the corner of Jack's mouth, his arm was finally broken off, and he couldn't help but shake his head with some regret.
However, as the winner, Mann did not feel any joy as a winner. His eyes when looking at Jack were full of heartfelt admiration.
"You can fight me for such a long time with your own body. Your name is Jack, right? That guy Lin Mo is very strong. As his eldest brother, you really have a few tricks up your sleeve. Damn it, you are so good. You can't even get into the Afterlife Bar because of your skills. It seems that the big guy looking at the door doesn't have a very good sense!"
Mann burst out laughing, stood up and walked to Jack's side as if he had just met him late, and patted him hard on the shoulder.
"Brother, I'm not bragging. This arm has been trained for more than ten years after all. Lin Mo teased me before, saying that it has at least thirty years of skill. It's a pity that it still can't compare with the mechanical prosthetic hand," Jack said. Smiling, he laughed at himself nonchalantly.
"Hey, don't say that, brother Jack, prosthetics have their own advantages. Although I am very keen on stronger and larger prosthetics, you are not bad. You can compete with the mechanical arm for so long with your body. I dare say that even if There won’t be many people like you in the afterlife bar.”
Mann consoled him carelessly, then looked at the lanky green-skinned man in the box, smiled contemptuously, and pointed at him with his finger.
"Well, this guy's name is Pyrrha. Look at his two long and thin mechanical arms. If he were to use them, they would never be able to last more than a few seconds in your hands."
Seeing that she was being criticized by name, Pyrrha immediately became unhappy and retorted cursingly:
"This is a technical prosthetic arm! Only technical experts can use it! It's different from big guys like you. Let me compete with him in strength, so why not let him compete with me in craftsmanship? I'm definitely worthy, okay? , the hand speed is definitely faster than him!"
Rebecca looked at Pyrrha with disdain and said mercilessly:
"Hey, you're young, it's not bad... I don't know that someone who usually stays at home and doesn't go out, emptying his body, now dares to say it's not bad."
"Rebecca, where are you on!" Pyrrha yelled back.
The two exchanged words, and the dull atmosphere in the box suddenly became cheerful.
Qiwei, the red-haired hacker woman standing in the corner, sighed silently when she saw this, and whispered in an indifferent tone to Dolio, who was smiling beside her and still watching the show:
"It's too noisy here. Let me go out and get some fresh air."
Dolio nodded, understanding that his new companion usually did not reject the excitement, but he was not keen on participating in it either.
"Go ahead."
Qiwei walked calmly to the door of the box, and after walking out, there was a bright corridor.
Without the soundproof walls in the room, the exciting music from the ballroom immediately passed through the corridor and reached her ears.
"It's so noisy..."
She whispered lazily, took out a cigarette, lit it by herself, and leaned against the wall next to the door to smoke alone.
Amidst the smoke, the cigarette held between her fingers was sucked into her lungs through the pores of the mask on her face, and then slowly ejected from the special filter hole.
The cigarette gradually shortened in her hand, and the high music in the dance hall continued for a long time, but a commotion still caught her attention.
She turned her head and saw a shy boy walking towards her under the guidance of a Mox Gang girl.
What's his name? It seems to be David.
Qiwei watched the boy come here indifferently. Before leaving, the young lady from the Mox Gang touched his chest with her fingers in a teasing way.
"Hello, I'm David. Lin Mo asked me to come here."
David looked embarrassed and greeted Qi Wei politely.
Obviously, he also knew this woman whom he had met once at the party.
"They are all inside, you go in first."
Qiwei nodded, glanced at the electronic door of the box, and motioned for David to walk in.
However, just when David was about to go in, Qiwei suddenly asked:
"Oh, by the way, where is the client? Why hasn't he come yet?"
"He took me to the station in the car and asked me to get off the train and come over alone. But he said he had to pick up someone else."
David told it calmly.
Qiwei nodded calmly and did not reply.
Seeing that she didn't seem to want to talk more, David scratched his head, calmed down, and walked into the box.
As the electronic door opened and closed, Qiwei could clearly hear the lively discussion in the box becoming quieter. It seemed that everyone's attention was attracted by the sudden appearance of the boy.
The electronic door slowly closed. Even if she couldn't see what was going on inside, Qiwei could more or less guess that David, who came alone, would inevitably be interrogated.
However, it's none of her business.
The cigarette continued to burn, wisps of ashes falling to the floor.
In the end, Qiwei put out the cigarette and threw it into the trash can nearby.
The time outside to breathe is over and it’s time to go back inside.
However, just as she turned around, out of the corner of her eye she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure walking slowly from the corridor.
And that familiar white hair.
Qi Wei looked sideways, and when she saw the figure, her body stopped immediately. She turned around calmly and watched the other person walking slowly.
"Lucy, why are you here too?" Qiwei asked a little surprised.
"What else can I do? The boss asked me to come over. I can't disobey his order." Lucy replied calmly, and then asked:
"Why are you staying outside and not going in?"
"Come out and get some air." Qiwei looked at Lucy with some interest:
"I didn't expect you to do something for that little boy. We are all gathered here today. You know the purpose."
"I know, he told me halfway." Lucy's eyes were calm.
"What about others?" Qiwei asked.
"I was chatting with the lady at the front desk. She said she would come over later, so she asked me to come over first." Lucy replied.
Qiwei crossed her arms and asked calmly: "I have heard some things about that little boy in the team. I am a little curious about what kind of work you do under him."
Lucy's expression changed, and a trace of displeasure and confusion flashed between her eyebrows.
After all, the job assigned to her by Lin Mo had a high salary, but the work content was not very pleasant.
Now that he called her over in the garbage dump, although she was a little unhappy on the surface, she was actually very happy in her heart.
Finally a somewhat normal job!
"Don't you want to talk?" Qiwei asked.
"I need to keep this a secret." Lucy didn't want to delve deeper into this topic.
Qi Wei narrowed her eyes. If it weren't for the implanted mask-like prosthetic body, she might have smiled at this time:
"To be honest, your talent is very good. When I was recruited by Mann and the others, I originally planned to introduce you to the team as a substitute hacker. Unfortunately, you have been recruited by him."
"Thank you for your concern." Lucy thanked calmly.
"It's nothing. You are also one of my few friends in this city full of lies, but do you still remember what I taught you?" Qiwei asked.
Lucy replied helplessly:
"Remember, don't trust anyone here. Anyone may deceive you. The only one you can trust is yourself..."
"Just remember. I hope you can keep these words in mind in the future." Qi Wei said.
"What are you talking about? Aren't you going in?"
The sudden male voice interrupted the conversation between the two, and the young man with a humble smile on his face walked over, walking resolutely and steadily.
