NO.137: There is only one more person to watch the prince’s affairs

Style: Gaming Author: Old ShingenWords: 2677Update Time: 24/01/11 11:40:49
The Edge Runner Mercenary Agency has two cyber hackers who are time travellers, Qi Wei and Lucy.

Not to mention the latter being David's girlfriend, the former's status is quite special.

Even if Omo hadn't been given the resources of "Cyberpunk Edgewalker" by Bize, he could still see that at the small gathering after the original cooperation, he could more or less observe - the blond short-haired man , a woman who is always used to wearing a gas mask-like mouthpiece, and there is some slight gap between her and half of the team.

That kind of barrier is like a scar that cannot be removed after a serious injury has healed. Even if the wound has healed, the traces are still conspicuous.

Of course, considering that there are only a few members of the Edge Runner Agency, this 'half team' is actually only three people - Lucy, David, and Rebecca.

Considering what Mann heard about them, their life in their hometown, and the reason for the time travel, a logical chain will form a clear answer.

A betrayal.

In that marathon where you still have to run even if you vomit blood, some people choose to protect themselves wisely and break away from, or even harm, the increasingly weak team of runners.

To be honest, from the perspective of an onlooker, this is not difficult to understand, just like neither Mann nor Dolio blamed her, and there was no sense of stiffness in their interactions with her.

It is a very reasonable choice to jump out of a smoking car that is constantly sprinting towards a cliff, and if removing a few screws can give you a new car, it is even more difficult not to do it - this is That world, the epitome of that era.

In the world of cyberpunk, this kind of background creation is not uncommon, and it is common for the protagonist to have a happy ending.

Not to mention the protagonists, everyone is struggling to survive, and the mercenaries working hard at the bottom are more in line with the 'real mercenaries' described by the hooded guest.

Violating laws and disciplines, killing people and setting fires, it seems like a lifestyle that involves all kinds of evil, but most of them are just trying to clean up their lives.

In the mercenary group under the laws of chaos, it is rare to have a team like edge runners, but unfortunately this rareness cannot be truly maintained.

Life pressure, work pressure and the upper limit of the endurance of prosthetic bodies simultaneously oppress the spirit. The mental illness called "cyber psychosis" stands at the end of that way of survival. When Omer heard from David that this kind of thing seemed to be about transforming people. Unique to mental illness, he was not surprised.

The human spirit is delicate, and maintaining balance is a miracle.

The close connection between spirit and body is a common topic in Yuan Neng.

This is the reason why Energetics usually does not recommend prosthetic body transformation, and also the reason why many prosthetic body transformations have to consider a lot of mental maintenance - even the structure technology introduced from Gray Crow Office is the same. There is a problem called "Sea Shift of Consciousness", which involves the spiritual level.

Human beings are born with flesh and blood, and the spirit equipped for the human body is injected into the body of steel and given a weird body feel and shape, so there should be such discomfort.

Cultivation and strengthening the spirit and soul can eliminate this problem to a great extent, but these worlds do not have technical support from other worlds.

The development of such technology means that technologies other than technology are not very good.

Their choice is the optimal adjustment of medicine and life.

In the absence of sufficient guidance from these two, madness is the destined outcome.

If you don't lack these two - then you are obviously at the level of a human being, do you deserve to risk your life? Cross out the one called V.

In that world, everyone strives for this path, but the path to advancement is very narrow.

Qiwei unscrewed the screws and stepped on the accelerator as the team headed toward madness. She betrayed the team, but was also betrayed by the other party.

If it comes to an end like this, there is probably something missing.

Because Omer did not ask about the details of each person's life, it was obvious that he lacked a key piece of the puzzle when it came to the result that the three people had quarrels but did not drive them away.

For example, even though there is a slight gap between the three people, they still welcome her last-minute operation in the team, or in that world, 'betrayal is a kind of nature' is a cognitive flow that is engraved in the world view...

This kind of puzzle is important for inferring their relationship, but it has nothing to do with the commission.

After all, he was not in that team. Even if he had a good relationship with David, it was another matter when it came to business.

The prerequisite for discussing grievances at work is that someone on both sides cannot distinguish between public and private affairs.

Qi Wei is not such a person.

Based on Omer's observations and intelligence investigation, including reviewing the mercenary's resume, it is not difficult to conclude that this person values ​​work efficiency and remuneration.

Coincidentally, it's the same as him.

This makes it easy to talk about work.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Omo did not consider Lucy but Miss Qiwei was that the latter also raised a Hackmon, an application beast with hacking abilities.

The applied life of artificial intelligence that can think and act independently does not belong to the category of Digimon in the narrow sense - because it only appears in smartphone applications, rather than Digimon that are born from various data, but in the broad sense, Digimon Including Appmon, obviously.

Among them, although Hackermon is only Standard/common level, which is the basic level of Applicationmon, its operation in the digital field is not weaker than that of Witchmon in capturing information.

Even more efficient than her.

This is the difference between professional refinement.

Because of this, Omo will entrust Miss Qiwei to follow the half of the data intercepted by Bellstarmon and capture and point out the location pointed to by the second half.

That would be where the main data of computer life forms such as Computer Dada would be, and there would also be data related to the other party's organization.

The other party answered the call very simply.

I don’t know if it happened to be a schedule or if he was trying to sell a favor. In short, Omo received a reply that was expected to be completed within 24 hours and reached an entrustment agreement.

The tariff is according to the normal specifications - it is paid by the Kingdom of Light office.

It was agreed at the beginning that funds and technical support would be provided, which was part of the reimbursement of funds, but what Omo really valued was technology.

What the office initially provided was only data related to monsters - and due to the limited memory capacity, it was only able to capture part of it. However, he was particularly concerned about the many exquisite gadgets of the Technology Development Bureau.

For example, something like the Monster Capsule - due to the existence of a certain Lao Qi, it is one of the few projects in the Kingdom of Light that actively involves monsters.

Different from the monster cards that collect information, the monster capsules store all living monsters. This is similar to the fighting instrument. They are all monsters' elf balls, so you don't have to worry about the consumption of food and drink.

But compared to large dormitories like the fighting machine, the monster capsule has always been a single room.

A single room doesn't matter.

Although even Geed no longer uses capsules and uses badges these days, Omer is a nostalgic person, so he uses nostalgic cards and capsules (x).

It was just about how to apply for technical assistance - this was a reason that he had always found hard to think of and unable to find.

But now, after meeting the hooded customer and the computer Dada who was trying to steal his information at close range, he had found some ideas for writing an expense report.

At the moment, there are organizations with information about artificial Belial, Belial Empire cadres in the building where the Baltans are located, and this network duo who took the initiative to test.

Intuitively, they are the same organization, but intuition can only convince yourself, not others. To convince others, you cannot rely on some intermittent conjectures and scattered evidence.

There needs to be conclusive evidence.

As for this evidence, he is waiting for Miss Qiwei to give it.

The wait within 24 hours is really exciting.

Unfortunately, when he put away the terminal and was about to go to the chairman's office to take a look - the horse racing girl blocking the road forced him to face another matter at hand.

"Training and physical examination, where are you going?"

Admiring Orihime, she stood at the door of the activity room with the same indifferent expression as before.

It seems that the question with a plain tone can be given the concept of questioning.

Jean Omer couldn't help but raise his hands as a military salute from another country.

"Go find you, let's go, Miss Vega."

Happy National day!

Hope there is no traffic jam!
