"Are you the person who reported this network incident?"
In the cinema screening room on the second floor of the Great Empire Mall, the dark red light of the service unit dyed the entire screening room a hazy crimson. The small space was now crowded with several business people in suits and ties.
In addition, there were several bodyguards with live ammunition standing outside the room. Each bodyguard had a prosthetic eye device like goggles embedded in his face, and they were vigilantly scanning the viewing hall outside the screening room.
Even though the entire shopping mall building is now under their control, these bodyguards are still standing on end, as if they are facing a formidable enemy. They have not spared every corner of the room, as if they are afraid of escaping from a certain corner.
A protected automatic turret.
In the screening room, Lin Mo was sitting alone on the hacker chair. When he heard the people around him asking questions, he just raised his eyes and glanced at the person who spoke.
Immediately, he sighed and said quietly:
"You seem to be late."
"According to the documents sent to us by Kangtao Company, your surname should be Lin..." The man who spoke was wearing a white shirt and his attitude seemed quite polite and elegant.
"Hello, I am the Intelligence Director of the Cyber Surveillance Americas Division. Thank you very much for your help in nipping this cyberspace accident in its infancy... If that evil thing really invades the night
If the city's network is damaged, the consequences will be disastrous."
He stretched out his hand towards Lin Mo. The arm exposed from his sleeve had a plastic texture and seemed to be some kind of specially made prosthetic arm.
Lin Mo also stretched out his hand and shook it politely. When his palms touched each other, he could clearly feel a weak air flow...
It should be some kind of prosthetic component specially used for heat dissipation... He secretly guessed.
After shaking hands with each other, the man also breathed a sigh of relief and said happily:
"In addition, you are right. We did not respond in time to this accident. But fortunately, the incident did not have any negative consequences in the end. Otherwise, I, as the intelligence director, would have come to an end."
Having said this, the man couldn't help but recall something that happened at noon today.
At that time, he was still staying in the company's office, thinking that today would still be an ordinary day, but he never thought that employees from the department suddenly broke into the office to report an unexpected incident to him.
Then, when he learned that one of his agents had lost his life signal in Taipingzhou, Night City, and that the person had been transported to the hospital by the trauma team for "resurrection surgery," and the company urgently needed to provide follow-up treatment expenses...
The man almost popped his eyes out.
Although Internet Monitoring is a large international organization, there are actually not many hacker agents within the company. Looking at the entire Night City, there are only two agents staying there to maintain network security.
After all, soldiers are more valuable than more.
Whether it is prosthetic equipment, network equipment or hacking technology, there is no organization in the world that can rival network surveillance.
Under normal circumstances, a city often only needs one agent to maintain daily network security.
But now, out of nowhere, an agent is lying in the hospital undergoing "resurrection surgery", and it seems that he will be lying in the morgue in the next second...
As the Intelligence Director of the American Division, he actually had to wait until his subordinates were dead before he could learn this information. With his many years of experience in the industry, he immediately realized that something unexpected must be happening in Night City.
Fortunately, when he arrived at the scene, he discovered that the accident was not serious, which was considered a blessing in misfortune.
Otherwise, it's time for him to pack his bags and get out of the company.
As for the unlucky agent lying in the hospital with two feet in the door of hell, it was not within his scope of consideration.
If that guy can really be rescued, that would be great.
Even if he couldn't be rescued, as long as the incident didn't become too big, he could still "explain" the situation to his superiors.
Seeing the man's rescued look, Lin Mo added nonchalantly: "The matter has been resolved, but what are you going to do with the evil creature and the hackers from the Voodoo Gang?"
"Of course it has been expelled from the black wall. Mr. Lin, you should know that this evil thing is no less harmful than a powerful golem virus, and it is also contagious to a certain extent. For this accident
, we dispatched half of the hackers in the entire American branch this time, and we were able to barely drive it away." The man knew everything:
"As for those guys from the Voodoo Gang, it's a pity that when our people rushed to the 'Poseidon' intranet, they seemed to have been devoured by evil things... But in reality, the best situation for them is to change
Becoming a madman, a fool, or in the worst case, brain death."
Lin Mo nodded and did not answer.
As the chief culprit who caused the victims of the Voodoo Gang hackers, it was impossible for him not to know the final fate of those guys.
But judging from the man's tone, they probably didn't find any clues in the [Poseidon] intranet.
From this point of view, his forged "network traces" should have been well hidden from these network monitors, and the situation between him and Knight would not have been exposed.
As for the Voodoo Gang hackers headed by Bridget, and what their final fate was, Lin Mo just recalled it and felt a shudder.
Being swallowed into the body by evil things on the Internet, his brain was washed away by countless distorted data and crazy images... This kind of inhumane torture, not to mention Bridget and the others, even he himself did not dare to say that he could endure it.
"Then I'll leave the rest of the finishing work to you. I've been staying here for a while. I have other things to do next. Let's take the first step." Lin Mo said goodbye to the leading man casually.
The man quickly responded with a smile: "Okay, Mr. Lin, please go ahead and leave these trivial matters to us. As for Kangtao Company's help this time, I will report it to my superiors truthfully."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lin Mo nodded, he did not forget that he came to the Great Empire Mall this time under the name of Kangtao Company.
Not long after, he yawned, looked tired, and left slowly under the gaze of everyone in the conference room.
...
...
On a road a few hundred meters away from the Great Empire Mall, an ordinary vehicle parked in a parking space on the roadside, perfectly blending in with the surrounding civilian cars.
After confirming that there was no network monitor following him, Lin Mo came to the vehicle.
Before he could knock on the car window, the car door opened silently.
Knight, who was sitting in the driver's seat, stared at him calmly, his blue fluorescent eyes quite beautiful.
"How's it going? Did the network monitors handle this incident smoothly?" He smiled slightly and took the lead in breaking the silent atmosphere:
"Looking at your appearance, I guess the matter should be resolved smoothly."
"You guessed it right. They are really good at dealing with accidents like this that happen in cyberspace. They managed to drive away the cyber evil that neither of us could do anything about." Lin Mo shrugged.
, and sat in the passenger seat.
"That's good." Knight smiled.
However, Lin Mo's face was not very pretty, and his frown was like a clear sky stained with dark clouds:
"However, the Voodoo Gang's method of releasing evil things on the Internet also proves that they are indeed connected with Ultra... What do you think of this?"
In the plot of the game, Ultra was indeed attracted by the Voodoo Gang using Johnny Silverhand's imprint.
But the attitude she showed clearly showed her disdain for the Voodoo Gang.
But why are you still providing help to the Voodoo Gang people now?
After thinking about it, Lin Mo could only guess that the various deeds he had done after coming to this world, as well as the demise of AI Xu Shiming, finally led to Ultra now seeking other ways to achieve his goals.
"Since she has found the Voodoo Gang, it proves that she is indeed unable to move in the network area inside the wall. Even when the evil thing appeared, we never saw her... Therefore, we temporarily
Don't worry about her existence." Knight expressed his opinion.
He does not have any conflict of interest with Knight.
So far, both of them are steadily carrying out their own plans, just like two neutral camps in a strategy game developing each other. They even agree on certain goals, and there is also the possibility of cooperation in the future.
However, for such a powerful "similar", Knight did not expect Otto to go smoothly and achieve his goal easily.
Lin Mo refused to comment, and his thoughts were the same as Knight's.
Even if the Voodoo Gang is just a group of pawns driven by Ultra, it is enough to prove that she is trying to use external forces to achieve her goals.
So in the short term, she shouldn't be able to cause any harm to Night City's cyberspace.
Moreover, he has not yet met the other party in person, so even if Otto knows his identity, he is not afraid of being targeted by her.
"However, since she can easily put network evil objects into the wall, why can't she forcefully break through the black wall? As long as she enters the network of Night City, she should have many ways to hide. For her, this should
It's a very easy thing." Lin Mo asked back.
Knight chuckled and said casually: "About this, you should ask the network monitors. After all, only they know what a black wall is."
Lin Mo thought about this possibility for a while, but finally shook his head and said:
"They won't tell."
Building the black wall is almost the starting point for the rise of network surveillance as an important international organization.
With this kind of foundation, even if asked in the name of Kangtao Company, the network supervisor will definitely not tell it, just like he will not tell the simulator.
Seeing that he couldn't come up with an answer even if he continued talking, Lin Mo had no choice but to give up for now and change the topic:
"Now that the matters in Taipingzhou have been dealt with, without the hackers led by Bridget, even if the Voodoo Gang can still exist, it is impossible to develop back to its former size, but their grassroots gang members are still there, and the neighborhoods here
Order should still be maintained, is your Ye Company still interested in intervening in the future?"
Knight shook his head slightly and said without thinking for a moment: "No interest, we will only focus on keeping the order in this area from being destroyed."
"Okay, so I can explain to my sister that Kangtao Company is somewhat interested in Taiping Prefecture." Lin Mo explained.
Knight said with a smile: "If companies settle here, Taiping Prefecture will be much better. We are happy to see this happen."
For an area like Taiping Prefecture that even the NCPD was unwilling to manage, he wished that a company could come here to operate, which would at least bring order to the economy of this area.
After all, no matter how bad it is, it can't get much worse.
"Then let's go back first." Lin Mo said.
Nate nodded, immediately started the car and drove towards the road.
"By the way, Lin Mo, are you interested in accepting a gift?" Knight suddenly asked as if he thought of something.
