Spider Murphy was a top cyber hacker who was active before the Fourth Corporate War.
Whether it is in the board game rule book or Johnny Silverhand's memories in the game's plot, she is an extremely outstanding network hacker whose hacking skills were at the forefront of the world at that time.
And for such a top network hacker, the earliest traces of her whereabouts that have been witnessed and recorded for more than fifty years were when she and Johnny Silverhand formed a surprise attack team and bombed Arasaka Tower together.
Although in the game plot, there is indeed not much plot about this character. All the relevant plots only appear in Johnny Silverhand's memories, and he doesn't even say a few lines.
But before traveling through time, Lin Mo had read a lot of game-related board game rule books.
Now that his intelligence attributes have increased significantly after being "exercised", his memory has become particularly good, and he can still remember a lot of information about Spider Murphy.
——After the bombing of Arasaka Tower and the accidental sacrifice of Johnny Silverhand, the last time this female hacker appeared was when she met with the eldest son of Saburo Arasaka.
Lin Mo did not intend to go into the details of the meeting between the two, as there may be major discrepancies between the plot of the game itself and the board game rule book.
It would be too ridiculous if these details could still be 100% consistent in the reality of the cyberpunk world.
But the outcome of that meeting will most likely not change—Arasaka Saburo’s eldest son, in order to bear the blame for the Arasaka Company’s failure in the war, took the blame for his father, and in the end had to commit suicide by committing seppuku.
As for Spider Murphy, he also took the opportunity to obtain the Soul Killer program and related equipment, and successfully uploaded himself into cyberspace.
It was such a character who had a high sense of existence but whose appearance was very rare. Now that traces of her were obtained from the mouth of a lark... Lin Mo felt quite surprised.
Why did she appear at this time, and why did she cooperate with President Miles?
Is this really the content of the game's follow-up dLC?
Lin Mo frowned slightly and began to think subconsciously.
But AI is not someone to be trifled with. Compared with Johnny's little girlfriend Ultra, Ultra's data consciousness has at least appeared in the game and has not yet been shrouded in mystery in his impression.
But Spider Murphy is different. Apart from knowing the other party's information in the rule book, he knows almost nothing about Spider Murphy.
Based on the opponent's accomplishments in hacking technology and cyberspace, as well as the growth she has gained after becoming a data consciousness over the years, her strength is at least not much different from Ultra's.
"The Spider Murphy you're talking about is the one who teamed up with Johnny in the past and was one of the terrorist gangs who nuked Arasaka Tower?" Lin Mo turned to Lark and asked.
Lark rubbed his temples with both fingers, as if to squeeze out the pain in his mind, and replied rather painfully:
"Yes, that's her. I won't admit it. During the Fourth Corporate War, she and Johnny Silverhand accepted a commission from military technology and obtained a micro-nuclear bomb to explode the Arasaka Tower in Night City. These records are all there. In the CIA database."
"The first time I met her was ten days ago... No, no, I don't remember clearly. Anyway, she communicated with me through the black wall. You should be able to understand... Time Travel Blackwall’s long-distance information transmission technology!”
Lin Mo nodded calmly and smiled without surprise: "Of course I understand. Isn't the black wall AI on your body the best medium for information dissemination?"
Perhaps the Internet of the old era, that is, the old network, is relatively unfamiliar to people today. The networks that ordinary people can use are all controllable local area networks.
But there is no denying that the Internet has always been there and it is still there.
People cannot touch and explore it only because of the existence of the [Black Wall], which isolates the old network from human society.
In this situation, if a hacker wants to ignore physical distance, ignore all obstacles and communicate with any object, or conduct ultra-long-distance data transmission with the other party, then the only way is to pass through the [Black Wall]
——Traveling through the world outside the black wall until the information is transmitted to the mind of the communication partner.
This is ultra-distance information transmission technology.
Of course, passing through the [Black Wall] means that the hacker's own existence will be exposed to the dangerous environment of the old network. No hacker dares to compete with the various dangers of the old network. This is no less than a child passing through a A dark forest surrounded by wild beasts and full of dangers.
Therefore, hackers who master this technology are all top talents with high skills and boldness.
Obviously, the lark equipped with blackwall AI must have this technology, and she is a communication medium in her own right.
This also makes it not easy for Spider Murphy, who is wandering outside the black wall, to contact the lark.
However, the key question is why Spider Murphy wants to contact Lark, this data consciousness that is more mysterious than Ultra, and what is its purpose?
The lark smiled bitterly:
"You're right, she contacted me through the black wall AI... That day she suddenly appeared in cyberspace, which scared me to death... Can you understand that feeling? I played After so many years in cyberspace, I have gained quite a lot of experience, but the fear it brought me was like an innocent child realizing the terror of death for the first time."
It seems that because he just woke up from "sleep" and regained control of his body, the lark started talking more.
It may also be that these secrets have been kept in her heart for too long. Now that someone finally listens to her, she can't help but talk more.
"She came to you to get in touch with President Miles?" Lin Mo asked.
"Well, although I don't know what her purpose is, she came to me just to talk to Miles. I am just a microphone." Lark's tone turned cold:
"After that, Miles and her successfully reached a consensus, and she also had a more convenient way to contact her, so my microphone became useless..."
Lin Mo smiled and said without any surprise: "So the final result is that she blocks your consciousness and then awakens the black wall AI in you to make you a more useful tool?"
Lark nodded heavily, clenching her fists uncontrollably, anger gradually appeared on her face, but her arms were trembling with fear:
"At that time, I felt that I was about to die. My body was controlled by another strange existence. It seemed that I could sense everything in the outside world... but it also seemed like I was dreaming, and the memories in the dream would become blurry. ...I don’t want to experience that feeling of dying but not being able to die again.”
Lin Mo smacked his lips, smiled softly and said:
"Then it's not up to you. The AI in your brain won't do what you want. You should be able to feel the AI in your brain being trapped in a 'cell' and protesting now, right? The ICE that blocks it can be timely. It’s not permanent.”
The lark nodded and looked at Lin Mo with ardent hope in his eyes:
"I know, so please, can you give me the neural matrix? I can cooperate with you, no matter what the cost!"
