Alas, capital oppression.
Alas, caged bird.
Alas, military technology.
After the memorial service, Lin Mo did not choose to stay at Arasaka Tower. Incidentally, he also declined Yorinobu's dinner invitation and instead followed his elder sister's footsteps back home.
After having a hasty dinner with a few people at home, he returned to his room and began to review the conversation with Knight tonight.
——Lark, this is the nickname of the hacker, but his real name seems to be Song Zhaomei.
According to Knight, this is a top hacker who has undergone the transformation of a hacker-specific prosthetic body. There is an unknown AI in her body that acts as an auxiliary tool for her own processor, through which she has greatly enhanced her hacking abilities.
There is no doubt that Knight is right, this is indeed an excellent choice to work with.
People who are ravaged by AI and don't want to die will often gradually abandon many bottom lines in order to survive, and even let down the people around them who trust them the most.
Just like the protagonist V in the game, although V's character is generally determined only by the player, an option and an ending at the end of the game's plot undoubtedly show that V does have the idea of "taking refuge" in Arasaka to survive.
After boarding the vehicle from Arasaka Company, it was the beginning of the devil's end, until the end, leaving only the end of betrayal and exhaustion.
Lin Mo was still not sure whether the hacker named Lark was such a person, but Knight seemed to have conducted a personality simulation analysis on her in advance.
Judging from the tone of her many chats with the other party, she now has a faint tendency to break away from military technology and cooperate with Knight.
The only question that troubled Lark and made her hesitate was undoubtedly how she should obtain the "Neural Matrix" from Hansen and then get on Knight's black car.
After all, Knight was still in the White House without any contribution. Even though she had powerful hacking skills, she was so far away from Night City that her abilities were useless.
So in theory, as long as they push a little and find a way to get the "Neural Matrix" in advance, when negotiating with Lark in the future, they will have enough chips to tempt her to betray her master in order to survive.
"So, we still have to get the neural matrix first, and then we can induce this little bird to cooperate with us if we have a bargaining chip in our hands... If she is really President Miles' secret weapon, then stealing military technology Network access should not be a problem.”
Lying on the bed in the room, Lin Mo thought to himself.
Not only access rights, but even if a network hacker of this level successfully eliminates the AI program in her body later, she can "make the best use of everything" to help with subsequent plans and become the hacker in Johnny's team.
Just like Spider Murphy in the Arasaka Tower team when the nuclear explosion occurred.
As for the neural matrix that the other party was eager for, Lin Mo didn't care much about it. Just like Knight said before, only by finding people who need it can we sell it at a good price.
When things are done, there is no harm in him leaving such a thing in the hands of a lark.
Moreover, he doesn't even bother to trick others into "joining the gang" through fraud.
Who among his team members today is not impressed by his boldness and generosity?
"But let's wait until later to discuss this matter. The most important thing now is to deal with the affairs in Arasaka first." Lin Mo thought.
He reached out and felt under the pillow on the bed, and soon found a Mewtwo device. He then put it on his head with familiarity and started tonight's simulation.
[Simulation on]
[The next day, you went to Arasaka Tower as usual, preparing to find Yorinobu and continue to disguise yourself as his bodyguard, so as to hide in the dark and carefully observe the movements of Hanako Arasaka and others]
[However, as soon as you arrived at the agreed place, you saw Yori Xuan with a dull and lifeless face. His whole person seemed to have fallen into an inexplicable state of depression]
[With doubts, you asked him why, and finally you got an unexpected answer from him]
[Arasaka Hanako has officially found the exiled Takemura Goro. She seems to be unable to wait even a moment. She leads the next group of Arasaka guards who are loyal to him and prepares to force his brother Yorinobu into the palace]
[In this regard, you are very surprised, because according to the content of the game plot, Arasaka Hanako does not seem to be an impatient person no matter how you look at it. Why would she choose to announce to Yori the day after arriving in Night City? What about launching a resistance? 】
[Yorinobu answered your doubts and also told you that the enemy you are about to face will be Takemura Goro and Oda, the master and disciple]
[You did not feel fear, but instead instructed Yorinobu with great interest to help unlock Takemura Goro's prosthetic body restrictions]
[Yes, you want to face Takemura Goro and Oda alone in their prime, although in the eyes of outsiders, this is a meaningless behavior]
[In Yori Xuan's view, this is also an extremely risky action. After all, he also knows the strength of the master and apprentice very well. One can become his father's personal bodyguard, and the other can become his sister's personal bodyguard. With this alone Two points are enough to prove that the strength of the two people cannot be underestimated]
[But at the same time, he also remembered your past glorious achievements. After persuading him to no avail, he no longer forced it, and instead arranged for people to unlock the limitations of Takemura Goro's prosthetic body]
【......】
[You and Hanako Arasaka and his group met in the atrium rainforest garden on the 76th floor. You were alone, and there were nearly a dozen people on the other side. One second, two seconds passed... There was no communication between the two of you, it was just simple Looking at each other, it’s as if there is an invisible air current surging in this forest,]
[Obviously, Goro Takemura recognized you. He approached Hanako and whispered a few words in her ear, and the female Arasaka heir understood your origins]
[Without too many words or greetings, you started your performance. Although there was no audience for this one-man show performed by you, and the participants were also confused, you didn't care at all.]
[Drawing the sword, the black unicorn once again shines brightly in the dark forest. The sharp blade is out, and all the combatants around Hanako Arasaka are ready to fight]
[The two of you started a long and fierce battle, from the flat trail to the dense forest, from the dense forest to the waterfall, until the big trees collapsed and the rocks were obliterated]
[This venue is not the environment you are best at, but it is the place that the two Arasaka ninjas, Goro Takemura and Oda, are most familiar with]
[Although the training in the past three months has made great progress in your personal hard strength, you still feel the long-lost feeling of difficulty]
[But struggling does not mean powerless]
[You achieved the final victory and completed your due performance]
[Simulated evaluation: I turned a blind eye when I should cooperate with you and when I should cooperate with your performance]
[Simulation rewards: Expertise point*1, attribute point*2, janitor’s shovel]
