Time went back more than ten minutes, it was night, inside an apartment building in Shenyang.
Even though it is late at night and early in the morning, this city that looks like it is made of metal is still full of colorful brilliance. It is located on the plain of the earth and exudes eternal brilliance, like an endless machine.
At this point, looking out from the apartment, one could still see that many of the windows were still lit with lights.
In an apartment suite on the top floor, a white-haired woman suddenly said to her companion:
“The guy messaged me back.”
Sasha, who was leaning on the sofa and fiddling with the computer, seemed to be looking for some information, blinked when he heard this, and turned his head to look at Lucy with interest in his beautiful eyes, and then seemed to be worried about something. Suddenly he glanced at a closed door in this apartment and asked in a low voice:
"That person who seems to be Lin Mo?"
"Yeah." Lucy didn't say anything more, reached out and took out another computer from the table in front of her, and opened the chat interface with a few taps, so that Sasha could see the chat history between her and the other party.
Sasha looked surprised, not expecting that the other party would choose this time to reply to their application.
Since arriving in Shenyang, the three of them have also used their own methods to try to find traces of Lin Mo.
But there is a huge crowd. Apart from the huge balance they carry, they have no background or connections here. The only means they can use are their own hacking skills.
However, China is a country that bans anti-personnel weapons after all. Although they are very rich now, the identities of the three of them are not very clean after all.
Let’s not talk about Rebecca for a moment. They were just two cyber hackers living in Night City. According to the regulations of the city, they were not allowed to enter the country.
Fortunately, in the end, "money can make the world go round." Since they got a lot of money, they both understood this truth.
】
——As long as they gave enough money, the three of them successfully arranged for people to forge suitable identities and were able to arrive in China to "travel".
Fortunately for Rebecca, although she seemed a little depressed because all her firearms were confiscated when she entered the country, due to her appearance and body shape, she was mistaken for a child and did not face any trouble.
But as network hackers, the [Network Access Chamber] on both of them is undoubtedly a prohibited prosthetic body.
In order to enter China smoothly, they finally signed a lot of security agreements, and also used some special means to block the [network access warehouse] in their bodies, so that they could enter China smoothly.
But for skilled network hackers like them, losing the [network access warehouse] is nothing more than losing a more violent means of facing the enemy head-on.
Using legal and compliant [network access data cables], they can still use many hacking methods, and in the past six months, they have finally fully mastered the golem program they originally obtained in cyberspace.
Now looking at the word "Hello" sent from the other side in the chat history, Sasha pursed her lips slightly, suddenly reached out and poked Lucy's face, and asked quite funny:
"Do you think it looks like him?"
Lucy, who was poked in the face by her, didn't show anything strange, and seemed to be used to this little behavior between best friends.
She glanced at the computer indifferently, shook her head and said, "He only said two words. There are too few clues for me to make a judgment."
Then, while typing on the keyboard, she also replied "Hello" to the person opposite who was chatting with her. On the other side, she also explained to Sasha:
"But based on the intelligence we have collected, there is a high probability that the other party is him, otherwise you wouldn't have persuaded me to apply for this commission with you."
Sasha moved her head up and down deftly, agreeing with Lucy's statement.
In the past six months, the three of them have traveled to many cities in China and have a deeper understanding of the country's general situation. They have also summarized a very meaningful "person tracing process methodology."
Based on their understanding of Lin Mo, they were certain that even if this guy came to China, he would never be a law-abiding citizen.
Therefore, just because he likes to join in the fun, the probability of encountering Lin Mo will be greatly increased in some places where big events have occurred and great excitement has occurred!
The second is to "hide away in the city". With Lin Mo's restless temperament, he will definitely choose to live in seclusion in some big cities, so the probability of encountering him in big cities will increase.
Then he couldn't bear the boredom. This country is very helpful, and he would definitely not miss this alternative way of working for marginalized people.
...Based on the above factors, coupled with labels such as his "generousness" and "philanthropy", whenever they arrive in a big city, Lucy and Sasha will be the first to help others. Search for information on local "helping messengers" on the Weile app.
Of course, apart from finding people, they did not forget the purpose of traveling. To this day, they have visited all the major tourist attractions in China.
All the efforts were worth it after all. Within a few days of arriving in the city of Shenyang, they used hacking methods to find a person on the local helping app who was very similar to Lin Mo on the personality analysis map. user.
That's why the current scene happened tonight. They had been waiting for many days, and finally waited until this user responded to them.
Later, when the other party responded that they wanted to meet, Lucy and Sasha both looked at each other in surprise.
Both of them were silent. After Lucy reacted, she quickly replied to the message.
On the contrary, Sasha's reaction was even worse. She was surprised at first, then her expression became a little depressed again, and she said in a gloomy tone:
"Suddenly I don't want this person to be him... What does this mean? If you want to find a hacker teacher, just give one of us a call! If not, you can just call Qiwei! Why still? You have to find a stranger on the app... The most important thing is that we have known each other for a short time, and he planned to meet up... What a bastard!"
The further she talked, the more aggrieved her tone became, which made Lucy on the side look at her a few more times.
She had rarely seen Sasha express such grievances, and she had rarely heard such words coming from the other party's mouth.
The impression Sasha had always given her was that she was gentle and decent, and occasionally a little cunning, just like her opal-like eyes, and her temperament was like that of an elegant aristocratic cat. This look should not be reflected on the other person.
...No matter how delicate a cat is, it will inevitably be raised by a family... Lucy sighed in her heart.
But Sasha didn't stay weak for too long. She quickly calmed down. She seemed to have thought of something, and there was a strange light in her eyes: "By the way, do you think it's possible? He has already guessed these two." We are the applicants, so why did we choose to meet with you?"
"This is unlikely..." Lucy sighed, her eyes reflecting the computer's fluorescence:
"If he really wanted to joke with us, he wouldn't have been able to wait for us to come find him... In fact, he is quite unruly sometimes."
Speaking of this, Lucy couldn't help but smile, recalling Lin Mo's order to arrange for her to run to the garbage dump to pick up garbage.
I still remember that at that time, she was still a little thief who stole chips. Every day, she fantasized about one day escaping from hell and dreamed of unattainable dreams... All changes started when she met him...
Now it seems that he was really full of bad taste at the time, and he didn't know what the freezer he was looking for looked like until the end.
However, the original resentment has disappeared now... She can face this matter with a smile.
"After all, he doesn't care about us." Lucy sighed suddenly.
"How could it be? He cares about everyone in the team..." Just after finishing her sentence, Sasha's words suddenly stopped. She finally realized the deep meaning of Lucy's words, and then said in a somewhat complicated tone:
"Yes, he treats everyone equally..."
The two of them sat on the sofa, and the more they talked, the more silent they became.
As if they had touched on something painful, the two stopped talking about this topic in depth. Lucy also came to her senses and began to reply to the message from the person opposite her on the app.
Seeing that the other party made an appointment to meet in three days, and Lucy also replied that she would personally choose the meeting place, Sasha, who was watching on the side, blinked and asked curiously:
"Will the two of us go to see him together then?"
"Well, no matter what, we have to meet him eventually." Lucy replied casually.
Immediately afterwards, the two continued chatting for a while, and finally saw the other party's reply that they were going to bed, and Lucy closed the app without any hesitation.
She didn't have much time to chat with the other party, only three or four minutes.
"Aren't you going to continue chatting with him?" Sasha asked puzzledly: "At least use more words, so that you can better judge whether the other person is him."
In her opinion, the chat between the two was like a piece of wood chatting with an iceberg. It seemed as if both parties would die if they said one more word. The content of the chat was completely boring.
"It's not necessary. If it weren't for him, there would be no point in talking now. In the end, we have to wait until the day we meet to reveal the answer." Lucy calmly put the computer back on the desktop, her tone calm:
"If it is really him, then we still have a lot of time in the future and we are not in a hurry."
Sasha curled her lips and said nothing.
Lucy glanced at her, her tone as cold as ever:
"It's getting late, let's go to bed first. The other party has responded to me now. In three days, we will be able to meet each other. Now there is no need to stay up late to collect intelligence on the Internet."
However, Sasha ignored her and looked straight at his computer screen, his fingers suddenly tapping rapidly on the keyboard.
Lucy frowned, followed her gaze to the computer screen, and her expression became a little weird.
That guy... why did he reply to Sasha?
"He's already suspicious... Are we still too obvious?" Sasha pointed to the chat history on the screen, with a slight smile on his lips.
Lucy said disapprovingly: "I guess he mistakenly thought that we were fraudsters, rather than guessing our identities."
"That's right, it's so late. I replied to his message immediately just now. It's indeed a bit suspicious. Even a normal person would be suspicious." Sasha thought for a while and said, "But don't worry, look at me How to explain to him!"
Then Lucy watched silently as she quickly made up a lie, which was able to explain away the matter of "why she responded immediately".
But looking at the chat between Sasha and the other party, Lucy had to admit that this best friend was better at talking than she was.
In her opinion, many sentences can be summarized in one or two short sentences, but Sasha can talk for a long paragraph.
"Why are you still using emojis?" Lucy looked at Sasha's profile in confusion.
Sasha didn't pay attention to her gaze. He stared at the screen, tapped the keyboard flexibly with his fingers, and explained nonchalantly:
"The person on the other side has already become suspicious. I have to be more enthusiastic. If he doesn't plan to come out to meet me, wouldn't the chat you just had with him be wasted? Besides, what if he is really Lin Mo?"
"Then why did you ask him to meet?" Lucy asked doubtfully, "Isn't this a waste of time?"
"It's okay, let's see how I trick him... But he is really cautious. Look at what he typed, it's watertight and there is no useful information at all." Sasha complained.
"Didn't he say he would bring bodyguards?" Lucy said casually, but soon realized: "But maybe he was lying."
"Well, if it's really him, he's pretty good at pretending." Sasha suddenly pulled out a data cable from his wrist and plugged it into the computer interface.
"What are you doing?" Lucy asked.
"Continue to set a trap for the opponent... Since you can't get anything out of him, let's lay a trap." Sasha smiled sinisterly, with a vaguely malicious look in his eyes:
"I will send him a link later. If he clicks on it, he will enter a commercial advertising page. This page is normal and he will not see any problems. But in fact, it is all a disguise. This link It’s just a puppet, and the moment he clicks on it, I can call up his computer’s camera and take a picture of his face!”
Lucy was shocked, not expecting that Sasha would make such a move.
But after thinking about it, this method seems to be feasible.
Since it is a commercial advertising page, it proves that the other party must open it on a computer. Nowadays, computers basically have camera functions, and the other party will indeed be tricked if they are not paying attention for a moment.
No matter how cautious he is, he can't realize that his purpose is not for money, let alone any important information on the computer, but simply to infringe on the "right of portrait".
"Don't talk about it yet, he really clicked in!" Sasha suddenly shouted excitedly, blue data streams flashed in his eyes.
The network data traffic was connected to the network along the data cable pulled from her wrist, and then easily cracked the simple outer protection of the opposite computer.
She didn't do anything outrageous, she simply called the other party's computer camera.
Soon, a familiar face appeared in her field of vision.
"Well, what's going on?" Lucy looked at Sasha with a confused look on her face, and the latter's expression gradually turned from excitement to dullness.
Sasha was stunned for a moment, as if his consciousness fell into a dream, and murmured:
"It's really him..."
As soon as these words were spoken, an atmosphere of silence enveloped the house like a sudden rainstorm.
Lucy fell into a daze for a moment, and her moving eyes became a little more moist.
A heartfelt smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, as beautiful as the bright crescent moon in the night sky.
"That would be great..."
