"Are you the person who reported this network incident?"
In the cinema screening room on the second floor of the Great Empire Mall, the dark red light of the service unit dyed the entire screening room a hazy crimson. The small space was crowded with several business people in suits and ties.
In addition, there were several armed bodyguards standing outside the room. Each bodyguard had a prosthetic eye device like goggles embedded in their face, and they were vigilantly scanning the viewing hall outside the screening room.
Even though the entire shopping mall building is now under their control, these bodyguards are still standing on end, as if they are facing a formidable enemy, not sparing every corner of the room, as if they are afraid of escaping from a certain corner. A protected automatic turret.
In the screening room, Lin Mo was sitting alone on the hacker chair. When he heard the people around him asking questions, he just raised his eyes and glanced at the person who spoke.
Immediately, he sighed and said quietly:
"You seem to be late."
"According to the documents sent to us by Kangtao Company, your surname should be Lin..." The man who spoke was wearing a white shirt and his attitude seemed quite polite and elegant.
"Hello, I am the intelligence director of the American branch of cyber surveillance. Thank you very much for your help in nipping this incident in the cyberspace in its infancy... If that evil thing really invades the night If the city's network is damaged, the consequences will be disastrous."
He stretched out his hand towards Lin Mo. The arm exposed from his sleeve had a plastic texture and seemed to be some kind of specially made prosthetic arm.
Lin Mo also stretched out his hand and shook it politely. When his palms touched each other, he could clearly feel a weak air flow...
It should be some kind of prosthetic part specially used for heat dissipation... He secretly guessed.
After shaking hands with each other, the man also breathed a sigh of relief and said happily:
"Besides, you are right. We did not react in time to this accident. But fortunately, the incident did not have any negative consequences in the end. Otherwise, my role as the intelligence director would have been over."
Having said this, the man couldn't help but recall something that happened at noon today.
At that time, he was still staying in the company's office. He thought that today would still be an ordinary day, but he never thought that employees from the department suddenly broke into the office to report an unexpected incident to him.
Then, when he learned that one of his agents had lost his life signal in Taipingzhou, Night City, and that the person had been transported to the hospital by the trauma team for "resurrection surgery," and the company urgently needed to provide follow-up treatment expenses... The man almost popped his eyes out.
Although Internet Monitoring is a large international organization, there are actually not many hacker agents within the company. Looking at the entire Night City, there are only two agents staying there to maintain network security.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
Seeing the man's rescued look, Lin Mo added nonchalantly: "The matter has been resolved, but what are you going to do with the evil creature and the hackers from the Voodoo Gang?"
"Of course it has been expelled from the black wall. Mr. Lin, you should know that this evil thing is no less harmful than a powerful golem virus, and it is also contagious to a certain extent. For this accident , we dispatched half of the hackers in the entire American division this time, and we were able to barely drive it away." The man knew everything and said:
"As for those guys from the Voodoo Gang, it's a pity that when our people rushed to the "Poseidon" intranet, they seemed to have been devoured by evil things... But in reality, the best situation for them is to change Becoming a lunatic, a fool, or in the worst case, brain-dead. "
Lin Mo nodded and did not answer.
As the chief culprit who caused the victims of the Voodoo Gang hackers, it was impossible for him not to know the final fate of those guys.
But judging from the man's tone, they probably didn't find any clues in the [Poseidon] intranet.
From this point of view, the "network traces" he forged should have been well hidden from these network monitors, and the situation between him and Knight would not have been exposed.
As for the Voodoo Gang hackers headed by Bridget, and what their final fate was, Lin Moguang felt a shudder just thinking about it.
Being swallowed into the body by evil things on the Internet, and the brain being washed by countless distorted data and crazy images... This kind of inhumane torture, let alone Bridget and the others, even he himself did not dare to say that he could bear it.
"Then I'll leave the rest of the finishing work to you. I've been here for a while, and there are other things to do next. Let's take the first step." Lin Mo said goodbye to the leading man casually.
The man quickly responded with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Lin, please go ahead and leave these trivial matters to us. As for Kangtao Company's help this time, I will report it to my superiors truthfully."
Lin Mo nodded. He had not forgotten that he came to the Great Empire Mall under the name of Kangtao Company.
Not long after, he yawned, showing a tired look, and left slowly under the gaze of everyone in the conference room.
...
...
On a road a few hundred meters away from the Great Empire Mall, an ordinary vehicle parked in a parking space on the roadside, perfectly blending in with the surrounding civilian cars.
After confirming that there was no network monitor following him, Lin Mo came to the vehicle.
Before he could knock on the car window, the car door opened silently.
Knight, who was sitting in the driver's seat, stared at him calmly, his blue fluorescent eyes quite beautiful.
"How's it going? Did the network monitors handle this incident smoothly?" He smiled slightly and took the lead in breaking the silence:
"Looking at your appearance, I guess the matter will be resolved smoothly."
"You were right. They are really good at dealing with accidents like this that happen in cyberspace. They managed to drive away the cyber evil that neither of us could do anything about." Lin Mo shrugged. , and sat in the passenger seat.
"That's good." Knight smiled.
However, Lin Mo's face was not very pretty, and his frown was like a clear sky stained with dark clouds:
"But the Voodoo Gang's method of releasing evil things on the Internet also proves that they are indeed connected to Ultra... What do you think of this?"
In the game's plot, Ultra was indeed attracted by the Voodoo Gang using Johnny Silverhand's imprint.
But the attitude she showed clearly showed her disdain for the Voodoo Gang.
But why are you still providing help to the Voodoo Gang people now?
After thinking about it, Lin Mo could only guess that the various deeds he had done since coming to this world, as well as the demise of AI Xu Shiming, ultimately led to Ultra now seeking other ways to achieve his goals.
"Since she has found the Voodoo Gang, then
This proves that she is indeed unable to move in the network area within the wall. Even when the evil thing appeared, we never saw her... So, we don't have to worry about her existence for the time being. ” Knight expressed his opinion.
He does not have any conflict of interest with Knight.
So far, both of them are steadily carrying out their own plans, just like two neutral camps in a strategy game developing each other. They even agree on certain goals, and there is the possibility of cooperation in the future.
However, for such a powerful "similar", Knight did not expect Ultra to achieve his goal so smoothly and easily.
Lin Mo refused to comment, and his thoughts were the same as Knight's.
Even if the Voodoo Gang is just a group of pawns driven by Ultra, it is enough to prove that she is trying to use external forces to achieve her goals.
So in the short term, she shouldn't be able to cause any harm to Night City's cyberspace.
Moreover, he has not yet met the other party in person. Even if Ott knows his identity, he is not afraid of being targeted by her.
"However, since she can easily put network evil objects into the wall, why can't she forcefully break through the black wall? As long as she enters the network of Night City, she should have many ways to hide. For her, this should be It's a very easy thing." Lin Mo asked back.
Knight chuckled and said casually: "About this, you should ask the network monitors. After all, only they know what the black wall is."
Lin Mo thought about this possibility for a while, but finally shook his head and said:
"They won't tell."
Building Black Walls – Virtually the rise of cyber watchdogs into a major international organization.
For this kind of foundation, even if asked in the name of Kangtao Company, the network supervisor would definitely not tell it, just like he would not tell the simulator.
Seeing that he couldn't come up with an answer even if he continued talking, Lin Mo had no choice but to give up for now and changed the topic:
"Now that the matters in Taipingzhou have been dealt with, without the hackers led by Bridget, even if the Voodoo Gang can still exist, it will not be able to grow back to its former size, but their grassroots gang members are still there, and the neighborhoods here Order can still be maintained, is your company still interested in intervening in the future?"
Knight shook his head slightly and said without thinking for a moment: "No interest. We will only focus on keeping the order in this area from being destroyed."
"Okay, so I can explain to my sister that Kangtao Company is somewhat interested in Taiping Prefecture." Lin Mo explained.
Knight said with a smile: "If companies settle here, Taiping Prefecture will be much better. We are happy to see this happen."
For an area like Taiping Prefecture that even the NCPD was unwilling to manage, he wished that a company could come here to operate, which would at least improve the economy and order of this area.
After all, no matter how bad it is, it can't be much worse.
"Then let's go back first." Lin Mo said.
Nate nodded, immediately started the car and drove towards the road.
"By the way, Lin Mo, are you interested in accepting a gift?" Knight suddenly asked as if he thought of something.
"A gift?" Lin Mo looked at Knight suspiciously.
