Seeing Lin Mo's speechless expression for a moment, this expression that rarely appeared on his face made Knight laugh a few times. After Lin Mo seemed to have come to his senses, he continued the topic. said:
"However, what I said is based on my analysis and judgment over the years. If you want to ask what Ultra's true purpose and thoughts are, I'm afraid only she herself knows."
Lin Mo refused to comment, lowered his head slightly and touched his chin, pretending to be thinking. After a second or two, he expressed his thoughts:
"Looking at the whole world, Night City is also a city with a unique status in the world. It is free enough and is also the best tax haven. Almost all major companies and enterprises in the world have established branches in this city, and The status and weight of the division are not low among group companies."
"Take the Arasaka Company as an example. The Arasaka Tower in Night City is no worse than their headquarters building, and there are mikoshi buried underground... This kind of treatment standard is almost difficult to find in other branches of the Arasaka Group. The specifications are the same as those of the Night City branch!"
Knight listened patiently. Even though Lin Mo had not yet said the final answer, he still vaguely guessed something:
"Lin Mo, by giving these examples, do you mean to say that Night City is actually a unique city in the world?"
Night City is bustling, Knight doesn't deny that.
Even if all the modern cities in the world are combined, Night City's unique style elements such as "freedom" and "cultural blending" are enough to make Night City one of the best among so many prosperous modern cities.
This is indeed his ideal city.
But what makes him regretful is that this prosperity does not belong to everyone in Night City.
"What you said is only one point, but the more important point is "potential value." Lin Mo said with a firm tone:
"Night City is home to branches of major companies. The specifications of these branches and their status within the company are not bad. This also proves from the side that these branches must also have confidential information and information of major companies. A valuable data resource."
"In this way, Ultra only needs to focus on the big cake of Night City. No matter which big company's resources she wants to seek, she can get them here in Night City instead of traveling around the world to find big companies. The company’s headquarters.”
"A very good guess." Knight's tone rose slightly, a little surprised.
In the past, he only paid attention to the people's livelihood and development of Night City, and only regarded major companies as the cancer of the city, but he rarely realized that these cancers actually contained extremely rich "nutrients" inside.
Not only that, Night City alone has dozens of branches of hundreds of companies from all over the world.
Indeed, as Lin Mo said, if Aote had enough strength, just swallowing up the data resources of these company branches would be enough to save her the effort of rushing to various corporate headquarters.
All in all, in Ultra's eyes, Night City must be a big cake that cannot be let go, enough for her to spend a long time planning countermeasures.
However, she has now revealed her traces in advance and is colluding with the Voodoo Gang. This kind of event has never happened in the game plot... but now it has happened, which makes Lin Mo feel a little puzzled.
After all, in the game, Ultra doesn't look down on guys like the Voodoo Gang at all.
And in order to avoid trouble, she later casually burned all the heads of the Voodoo Gang hackers. In her opinion, the value of these people was completely worthless.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
What will happen? "
Knight replied without hesitation: "I will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and then wait for opportunities to profit."
"Oh? Aren't you worried that Ultra will mess up Night City? If she really does this, you will be very angry, right?" Lin Mo asked funny.
Knight shook his head and said calmly: "She has no reason to do this. There is no conflict of interest between us. She is seeking company resources. It does no harm to me. I can even reap the benefits."
Sure enough, Mr. Blue Eyes's own position does not conflict with Ultra's, and even vaguely coincides with it... And after Arasaka Tower was captured by the protagonist in the game, he also went in to "make a fortune".
Lin Mo frowned slightly and asked, "Then she has been wandering around the outskirts of Night City these years. Have you two had any contact with her?"
Knight answered honestly: "We both know each other exists, but we don't know each other well."
So the relationship between the two is like that of a gang of knights who do not offend each other, is it limited to knowing each other's names?
Lin Mo was thoughtful and continued to ask:
"Is she more powerful, or are you more powerful?"
Knight was startled, not expecting Lin Mo to ask such a straightforward question.
However, he finally said cautiously:
"After all, she was one of the best hackers during her lifetime. After becoming an AI, she still wandered around the old network area for decades. I am afraid only she knows what kind of growth she has achieved... and I am just an AI developed by Ye's company. So in a head-to-head confrontation, I am no match for her.”
"But she has nothing to do about the black wall. As far as I know, although she has many methods to exert influence on the existing controllable network, she has also created many independent AIs in recent years and put them into Night City. Internet, but she still couldn't let her body pass through the black wall unharmed."
Knight paused, leaving some time for Lin Mo to think. After a few seconds, he continued:
"Note, I said safe and sound. In fact, with her ability, the black wall may be just a decoration, but this decoration still has some effect. If she rashly chooses to forcibly break through the black wall, then her individual data will be Weaken part of it..."
"I understand." Lin Modan nodded.
The effect of the black wall is still so stable. Even if it is as strong as Ultra, there is still a price to pay if you want to force a breakthrough.
It is not known how this wall was built.
However, Ultra is also one of the most powerful AI in the game plot. After successfully conquering the Arasaka Tower network defense, he burned down all the defensive personnel of the entire company building in less than a few seconds. head.
...With this kind of terrifying hacking method, Lin Mo feels that with his current hacker strength, he is far from being able to reach the level of Ultra.
"So are we going to prepare to become Ultra's enemy next?"
After pondering for a while, Knight looked directly at Lin Mo, with a hint of worry in his tone: "To be honest, Lin Mo, provoking a powerful AI enemy for no reason will not do you or me any good."
"Well, I know what you're worried about, but don't worry. I won't provoke her until I'm absolutely sure. But with these guys from the Voodoo Gang, we have no reason to let them go." Lin Mo said calmly:
"The Voodoo Gang is most likely just Ultra's pawn. Even if these guys are eliminated, we don't have to worry about Ultra's revenge for this trivial matter. At most, it will only make the relationship between us and her worse. "
Knight looked at Lin Mo calmly for a while, then nodded:
"Okay, when do we leave?"
Lin Mo took a step forward, and the wall in front suddenly opened the way for him:
"Now."
