The deep black sea of clouds is layered on top of each other, and the bright moonlight seems to be even brighter and pure white without the light of the city. It is like strands of silver yarn passing through the clouds of different densities, refracting silver threads like rain.
The white passenger plane passed through the sea of clouds, orange light spread on the surface of the silver-stained clouds, and the flashing warning lights were like an extra red star in the sky.
With the help of the moonlight, Lin Mo was able to see the outside scene through the porthole. The silvery clouds were so thick that people could step on them with their feet. All he could see was this monotonous but spectacular cloud world, which made people wonder.
I feel comfortable and at ease in my heart.
"When the sun comes out and the sky is bright, we will return to Night City." Sasha sat next to him, also in a VIP seat, with a certain distance between each seat, leaving
Each distinguished passenger has enough private space.
Lucy was sitting in the front, turned her head and glanced, joined the conversation and said:
"It's really touching. It feels like I've been away for a long time, but it doesn't seem like I've been away that long. I haven't seen Jack, Kitagawa Hiroshi and the others for a long time. I still remember very clearly what happened before I left.
Woolen cloth."
At this time, Rebecca, who was sitting in front, also stretched out her little head, revealing her twin tails and small eyes from above the back of the chair. She looked at Sasha and Lin Mo, who were sitting behind, and echoed:
"It's not like my days in China were too boring. I had to go out to look for clues about someone every day. Although it wasn't boring to play around, the life there was still not as exciting as Night City. After playing for so long, except for a few
I can still remember one thing, but I’ve forgotten everything else.”
"Hey, doesn't this show the value of photos? At that time, every time I went to a city, I would take a lot of photos. Rebecca, if you want to recall, I can send some to you." Sasha's eyes lit up slightly.
, raised his finger and pointed at his head, as if to say that those photos were stored in his own processor.
"Who would want to remember those things?" Rebecca muttered dissatisfied.
"Speaking of which, I haven't heard about your detailed travel experience. Sasha only told me roughly before. Now we are still some distance away from Night City. Why don't you tell me about your trip to China?
Something?" Lin Mo asked with interest.
"Do you want to see the photo? I can send you a copy if necessary?" Sasha asked, and then asked Lucy and Rebecca:
"Do you all have any objections?"
"No comment."
"It doesn't matter."
Lin Mo glanced at Sasha curiously and asked: "What type of photo?"
"look by youself."
A few flashes of blue light flashed in Sasha's eyes, and messages were transmitted to Lin Mo's processor through the small LAN on the plane.
Finding that there was a message coming, Lin Mo opened his chat channel curiously, and clear and beautiful pictures were quickly displayed on the data panel in front of him.
Some of these pictures were taken on the moon. The background is a beautiful blue sphere. The faces of Sasha and Lucy occupy most of the photo. Both of them are grinning and looking very happy.
Lin Mo couldn't help but be amused by this pure happiness revealed in the photos, and a smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Continuing to browse through the pictures, he soon saw other background photos. Some were of the three women standing on the top of the mountain, "like the top of the mountain"; some were of the background with their backs to the endless prairie; and some were of the rain falling at night.
In the city, rainwater splashed on the ground to form pools, reflecting the glory of the city, so that the sky and the world were filled with hazy neon light, while the three girls were walking alone on the deserted streets in heavy rain, dragging their umbrellas.
Just when Lin Mo was watching it with great interest, and then when he turned to the last few photos and saw the scenes in the photos, the expression on his face that was originally calm and having fun suddenly became very "wonderful".
"Is this how you test cadres?" Lin Mo's eyes twitched and he looked at Sasha beside him with a helpless look.
Sasha could no longer suppress the evil smile on her lips after her "prank" was successful, her eyes narrowed, and the expression revealed from the slits in her eyes was full of playful and playful emotions.
"But aren't you very happy to see it?" she asked softly.
Rebecca looked over curiously, her head resting on the top of the chair, almost lying on it: "Huh? What did you show Xiao Lin Mo?"
"These are the photos..." Sasha said while sending the photos to Rebecca and Lucy:
"Didn't we have a lot of fun back then? And you were also shooting randomly on the shooting range with that water gun. It's a pity that you didn't take a video, otherwise I would definitely help you recall how big the smile was on your face at that time.
Brilliant, you were depressed for a while because you didn't have a gun to play with. It was only after this trip that you finally cheered up.
"
However, Rebecca no longer listened to her words. She lay on the chair dumbfounded, looking at the photos of Sasha coming over with a glint in her eyes.
——In several photos, the background is the blue sea. Rebecca, Lucy and Sasha are all wearing swimsuits and doing different things. Their skin exposed to the sun seems to be moisturized.
The luster, good figure, and graceful body curves make people think of the artist's paintings. Only in the paintings can such a beautiful scene appear, which makes people only appreciate the thoughts without any dirty thoughts.
These photos make people unable to take their eyes away, and any one of them can be used as wallpaper on the computer.
Except for Rebecca's photo...
Compared to the other two ladies, her swimsuit really doesn't give people any sense of expectation...
It would be better to say that she used to be so carefree and dressed in similar clothes, and now I see her wearing the same thin clothes while playing in the sea.
...Except for the water gun she held in her hand, which added a lot of childlike innocence and purity to her and washed away the arrogance and violence of the past, there seemed to be nothing worth admiring.
"Sasha!" Rebecca suddenly became angry. She stared at the culprit "viciously", but out of the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but glance at Lin Mo, observing the latter's expression.
The latter's eyes were still bright with blue light, and he looked like he was "nothing to do with anything". He seemed to be still watching the message and didn't express any opinions on these photos.
Rebecca breathed a sigh of relief, but still looked at Sasha reluctantly, obviously unhappy with Sasha's behavior of posting the photo without explanation.
"The main thing is that most of these photos are taken by the three of us together...and there are a lot of them, so it's hard for me to distinguish them...and don't you want Lin Mo to know about our original travel experience?" Sasha
He looked very innocent, and she didn't understand why Rebecca's reaction was so big.
If there are a few photos that make Rebecca look embarrassing, then among so many photos, there are also ugly photos of her and Lucy...
[Did I do something wrong?] Puzzled, Sasha finally asked Rebecca through the private chat channel.
[No, okay, it’s none of your business] Rebecca said gloomily.
At the same time, in reality, she also lowered her head in distress and muttered:
"It's not that I don't want him to know...it's just...oh, forget it, I won't say it anymore!"
She simply turned around, lay down on her chair and ignored what was happening behind her.
But the real situation is that in these photos, with Lucy and Sasha as the backdrop, she always looks like a child in every photo... But now that Lin Mo has seen it, even if the latter doesn't
She didn't care, but Rebecca, who was sensitive, still felt a little embarrassed.
At this moment, Rebecca couldn't help but turn her head to her side and observed Lucy's face.
However, Lucy did not show the expression she expected. Seeing her photo being admired by Lin Mo, Lucy's cheeks only turned slightly rosy and she did not yell like her.
"What, it makes me act like an unreasonable child." Rebecca muttered lowly, feeling quite anxious.
In the end, she couldn't hold it back and turned her head to look behind her again, only to find that Lin Mo's eyes were still flashing with blue light, as if she was still reading some messages.
That's not true...Has he not finished looking at those photos after looking at them for so long? Rebecca thought in disbelief.
As if aware of her gaze, Sasha, who was sitting next to Lin Mo, suddenly smiled softly, showing an understanding look.
"Lin Mo, Lin Mo!" She poked Lin Mo's shoulder gently, thinking that he was still looking at those photos, and the smile on her face was a little playful:
"How about these photos?"
Lin Mo, who was reading the message, suddenly came back to his senses and glanced at Sasha in confusion: "Photo? Are you talking about the photo just now?"
"Yes, otherwise what else could I ask..."
"It's not bad. Were you the one who took all the photos? I can see that the technique is very good." Lin Mo nodded dullly in praise, his expression a little absent-minded.
"I took all the photos with a drone. If I had taken them myself, I wouldn't have been able to get into the shot." Sasha looked at Lin Mo's expression and asked, "Were you reading other news just now?
"
Lin Mo's words and expression just now showed that he was obviously not looking at the photos she sent, but other messages.
"Well, I was indeed reading other messages." Lin Mo nodded:
"Just now Xu Wanmeng...the CEO of Kangtao sent me a lot of information. After I saw your travel photos, I also took a look at everything she sent."
"What information?"
Suddenly, the eyes of the three women, including Rebecca and Lucy sitting in front, were all focused on Lin Mo.
Lin Mo shrugged and said innocently:
"Didn't we help them solve the AI yesterday? Didn't you and Lucy also help them solve the group of hackers? We also deliberately left a few alive. As of today, Xu Wanmeng has almost all the information on these people.
It was dug out."
"What is the specific content? Can you tell me briefly?" Lucy frowned and couldn't help but recall the battle in cyberspace yesterday:
"After you mentioned it, the professionalism of those hackers is indeed not comparable to that of ordinary wandering hackers, and they seem to be divided into several groups. Although there are quite a few people, they do not cooperate well with each other. It seems that they come from several groups.
The army that the company's hackers have forcibly assembled...to use a Chinese idiom to describe it, is like a piece of loose sand."
Lin Mo couldn't help but be amused by Lucy's idiom.,
Every time Lucy said these idioms in Chinese, she would use a poor foreigner's accent. I don't know if she meant it, but he would laugh out loud every time.
"Your analysis is good. According to the information Xu Wanmeng gave me, these hackers are indeed from several different companies. Anyway, the ones listed in the information include Arasaka, Military Technology, Moore Technology... These companies are all related to Kang
Tao doesn't deal with it secretly." He explained seriously:
"Perhaps AI Xu Shiming promised them a lot of benefits and lured these wolves into the sheepfold, and the hacker base stations they used were all located in China. After this incident, Kang Tao also severely cracked down on these criminals.
molecular."
"So what information did Xu Wanmeng and the others obtain from these hackers?" Lucy asked.
Lin Mo thought for a while, and simply copied all the information and transmitted it to the other three women, so as to save himself the need to explain.
About ten minutes later, the blue light in the eyes of the three women gradually dissipated, and their eyes focused on Lin Mo again.
"Have you finished reading it all?" Lin Mo asked.
The three nodded.
"Any ideas?" Lin Mo asked
Lucy frowned and analyzed carefully:
"It's a bit strange. The target of these hackers is important files and data on Kangtao's intranet. I don't find it strange, but what surprises me is that this matter is actually related to Night City..."
The hacker army led by AI Xu Shiming is indeed composed of hacker teams from various companies. Their main goal is also very simple. They just want to steal enough money for their company from Kangtao's big cake.
Interests.
However, from the minds of these hackers, Kang Tao also discovered a lot of information that had nothing to do with last night's battle, but was very useful and valuable.
The first and most important piece of information is that Kang Tao learned the latest progress of their "relic" project from the minds of Arasaka Company hackers.
——The project leader Herman has successfully advanced this technology to the second generation, breaking through key technologies, and the goal of the project technology seems to involve immortality.
More detailed intelligence information is not known yet, but Kangtao seems not to give up this confidential information, and is planning to start with the technical director named Herman.
Another important piece of information was also obtained from the minds of Arasaka Company hackers, that is, Arasaka Company began to intentionally shift most of its hacker resources to Night City, and some of their "colleagues" were also transferred to the Night City branch.
Ministry, as if on guard against something.
Although this phenomenon has been around for a few years, it seems that this kind of action has become more frequent during this period, giving people the feeling of some kind of general mobilization for war preparations.
As for the remaining information, it is that the former president of Military Technology and the current president of the new United States are trying their best to recruit top hackers;
Moore Technology also used its contacts in Europe to try to regain the right to speak for the Night City branch through hacker attacks, etc...
"Why do I feel that most of this information is related to Arasaka?" Even with Rebecca's straightforward way of thinking, she could see the clues in this information.
It seems that among the hostile hacker army, hackers involved in Arasaka Company account for the majority in number, so a lot of intelligence is related to Arasaka Company.
However, objectively speaking, with Arasaka's current hacker power, if it is ranked second, no other company in the world would dare to be ranked first.
At this time, Lin Mo also agreed with Rebecca:
"Your guess is very good. In the days to come, Arasaka Company is indeed likely to make big moves."
"Perhaps, when we return to Night City, we will have the opportunity to deal with them."
