If you look at it this way, if you want to use the full capabilities of Icarus Path Depth 3, the user also needs to be a hacker with a "Hongqiao Brain Area" mutation.
Liao Qi was like a street artist playing the flute and dancing the snake, controlling the magnetic fluid in his palm to dance back and forth in mid-air.
In an ever-changing battlefield, in order to prevent hackers from gaining control of their own prosthetics, adjusters often choose to cut off the medium of intrusion - whether it is silencing electromagnetic signals or closing the body's prosthetic interface.
After all, this is not in cyberspace. If you want to hack into the prosthetic body, you must establish a physical connection.
The ability of "Mercury Wings" is a pervasive physical invasion method - the magnetic fluid can be attached to melee weapons, and after the attack, it is connected to the enemy.
In other words, as long as the opponent's defense is broken and the control lines are exposed, Icarus' adjusters can try to implant viruses for hacking.
For a moment, Liao Qi seemed to understand why the first two depths of this upgrade path were constantly strengthening the adjuster's melee combat capabilities.
Because of the restriction on the control distance of magnetic fluid, this method of invasion must be close enough to the opponent to be effective. The main function of the specialized melee ability of Icarus Path is to break through the opponent's defense and gain enough time to complete the hacking.
"Pity……"
Thinking of this, Liao Qi said softly.
Looking at it this way, Icarus is actually an upgrade path that requires the adjuster to be a hacker in order to fully display its true strength. However, neither former team leader Korrit nor himself have this talent.
Fortunately, I can use another self to provide online electronic warfare support.
"What's the pity?"
At this time, Booker walked over and asked.
"nothing."
Liao Qi replied.
As he spoke, he controlled the magnetic fluid in his hand to curl up again into a round silver bead, and then slowly let it seep into his body and join the internal circulation.
"Strong ability."
He turned to look at Booker and said:
"Even if we encounter another fierce battle like the 'Siege of Theseus', I still have enough combat power to protect myself."
On the surface, what Jiang Zhou was talking about was what Pluto Deep Diving Company might do after the geothermal power station completes printing. But in fact, what he was thinking about was that after the multi-purpose printer was freed up, he opened the sealed database, and what might happen if Hecate descended into the base reality.
To be honest, it was difficult for him to estimate what kind of movement these two things would bring.
"In the next few days, including things in the power station, you don't have to worry about anything in the organization. You just need to stay here and continue to familiarize yourself with new capabilities... If it really happens then For the conflict, I need you to be able to exert the complete combat effectiveness of Icarus Path Depth 3."
With that said, Booker also sent him another message in the private channel.
[In addition, you should try to connect this multi-purpose printer every day to see if Mr. "Paradox" will arrange a new "trial" for you]
Liao Qi nodded.
"clear."
In response, Booker sighed and said:
"But no matter what, I hope there won't be any conflicts by then..."
Although he said this, Booker's tone did not sound like he thought things would go so smoothly.
In fact, since the end of "Operation Magician", they used the energy of one gram of antimatter to start the construction of geothermal power stations in advance. The organization's corporate relations room could no longer contact anyone who could speak to him in Pluto Deep Diving Company.
Even if I took the initiative to find the studio stationed on the ground floor of the resettlement area, the replies given by the other party were all official clichés. It sounds full of twists and turns, but it can be summed up in three words - wait for notification.
It can be said that the other party took the initiative to cut off the communication channels between the two parties.
"So, you still can't contact Perse Fanny?"
Liao Qi asked as if he suddenly remembered something.
Booker shook his head:
"I have tried all channels, but there is still no news... I have followed the official news of Pluto Deep Diving Company, and I have not seen any news related to her."
Originally, the entire cooperation project with Pluto Deep Diving Company was finalized between him and the supervisor. But now, he can't contact the leader on the other side, which doesn't look like a good sign.
In addition, the other party has deployed a multi-purpose printer in the studio assigned here - as long as the other party is willing, he can win over some desperate desperadoes at the bottom of the settlement area at any time and pull out a crudely made, but still enough Lethal adjuster troops come out.
"Currently, there are only the last batch of prisoners left to be released. That is, Chinatsu Sakura, 136, Carl...them. And of course, there is also the nameless one who seems to be involved innocently."
Booker continued.
Sorry, he probably won't be released as a prisoner.
Not only that, but thanks to his own "blessing", the remaining people who participated in the second dive may not be able to come back because they are suspected of being connected to Hecate.
But I can't really feel too guilty about it.
Jiang Zhou thought.
After all, for the person who almost killed me, even if I can understand their actions, I still have a lot of emotional troubles.
However, Booker couldn't contact Perse Fanny, and he didn't know if it had something to do with him being regarded as Hecate's horse.
Thinking of this, Liao Qi asked directly:
"Are you sure Fanny can't be contacted through all channels?"
He deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "all".
When he heard this question, Booker was stunned for a moment as if a student who had deserted in class was suddenly called upon by the teacher.
Did the other party guess something? Is he so keen?
Booker thought.
Immediately, he nodded with a complicated expression and said:
"Yes……
"All channels."
…………
"Director Fanny, Cerberus' intern investigator Lu Yuan is outside asking to see him. He wants to ask about..."
"No, let him go."
She decisively interrupted the AI assistant's words, gave Fanny her long light green wavy hair to tie up, put the half-cultured protein biochip that looked like flesh-colored gelatin jelly back into the incubator, and Carefully label it with time.
After doing this, she took off her gloves and raised her head to look at the human figure projected on the side.
"Why are you still here?"
she asked.
"Your Excellency, even if he is an intern, he is still sent by Cerberus..."
After all, it is the company's internal "gendarme", and the AI assistant questioned Fanny's direct refusal of Cerberus' investigation.
Throwing the gloves she took off into the sterilization cabinet, she then untied her tied up hair. Under the action of the electrostatic generator, the thick hair fell gently and slowly as if in gravityless outer space.
"You don't need to pay attention to him. Just pretend it didn't happen. There won't be any problem."
Her voice was very calm, giving people a sense of calm that seemed to be hypnotic.
"That is after all..."
But even so, AI still did not give up trying to persuade - after all, within Tartarus, Cerberus's authority was too great.
"Any idea where I'm going next?"
In response, Fanny interrupted directly.
The projected humanoid shook his head.
"Next, I'm going to attend a meeting hosted by Director Cerberus. If there is something that needs to be known, I think the prison director will be more inclined to explain it clearly at the meeting rather than sending an intern over. .”
She said, taking off her anti-bacterial coat.
"In this case, you can help me leave a message for him and set it to burn after reading.
"Since this is another unauthorized action that has been self-defeating, let's take a break for a while."
After saying that, she walked out of the door. The two zombie bodyguards who had been guarding the entrance of the laboratory immediately followed her, keeping a fixed distance from her as quickly as possible for support.
madness……
Fanny thought so while walking on the road.
Whether it was the other party's smart actions before or his current initiative to come to find him, it was an act of extreme stupidity.
After this incident, since even he could see through the other party's identity, why would he think those old foxes couldn't see through it.
In fact, those guys have not revealed this yet, and they may only want to use his true identity to seek other things.
Along the way Fanny thought about what that thing might be. Soon she arrived at the conference room. The moment she opened the door and saw the members who came to participate in the meeting, she knew what the conclusion of today's so-called discussion would be.
"Today we have only two topics."
After sitting down at the round table at the entrance, the prison supervisor D who presided over the meeting said directly without even saying a simple greeting:
"The first one is not that important. In view of the various situations that have happened underground in the Nord Resettlement Area recently, we need to make certain adjustments and changes to the personnel of the underground intelligent control factory project in the Nord Resettlement Area.
"The second is to discuss the final solution for all those who participated in the previous dive and salvage activities, including 'Theseus'."
It's said to be a research...
Fanny thought.
But looking at Ye Qian's smiling expression on his face, she had already guessed what the final conclusion would be.
First of all, the first point is obviously directed at themselves. Do they want to deprive themselves of their rights in the Nord resettlement area?
And the second point... It seems that Cerberus has finally made up his mind to make "Theseus" who is still trapped in the dark web of the abyss completely non-threatening. (End of chapter)
