The night breeze seems particularly cool tonight, and the temperature in Night City seems to have suddenly dropped several degrees tonight, or maybe it's a psychological effect...
The city's lights tonight have changed from colorful neon colors to solemn and monotonous cold tones. Vehicles are strictly prohibited from honking their horns in the company square. The hovercars passing by in the sky have also slowed down, and the noisy business
Advertisements are no longer displayed... This kind of atmosphere that changes the city from bustling and lively to dull and gloomy makes people feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.
As a place where employees of large companies must check in every day, and thanks to the "this is a blessing" working hours, the company square is still brightly lit even at night.
The street lights on the side of the road, the billboards of the building, the holographic twin fish in the central disk area of the square...these places that should be shining now look particularly dark.
The city is getting darker and darker, and the stars and moon in the night sky are getting colder and colder. The moonlight is pouring down like mercury on the ground, and it is desolate and sad.
On a high floor of Arasaka Tower, a solemn and solemn memorial service was held here. The guests were all prominent figures in the city. They were all dressed in white clothes, with eulogies and brocade couplets hanging, and white flowers forming a circle... Everyone was talking loudly.
Depressed to the extreme, only whispers echoed in the silent venue.
However, although the atmosphere at the memorial service was very solemn and the people's expressions were serious and mournful, among all the people who participated in the memorial service, except for a few people directly related to Arasaka, basically no one felt sad for the deceased.
"What a touching performance...Everyone turned into a natural actor at this time. Some people put on a mask called sadness, but in fact they were probably already happy inside."
On the high platform on the second floor of the venue, Lin Mo was dressed in the formal attire of the Arasaka Company, with an ordinary ceremonial knife slung across his waist. He stood next to Arasaka Yorinobu and couldn't help but sigh in a low voice:
"Seriously, is tonight's memorial service so grand? Although the person who died is Saburo Arasaka, I still didn't expect that you would ask other company buildings in the company square to lower their brightness... I originally wanted to
I thought this memorial service would at best be held in a low-key manner within the company, and then a few guests would be invited."
Arasaka Yorinobu looked directly at the many guests below and said without looking back: "This is the intention of the board of directors, and if tonight's memorial service is not held grandly, Hanako may not come.
.”
"Has she arrived?" Lin Mo looked subconsciously among the guests.
However, before he could find the location of Hanako Arasaka among the many guests, he was shocked to see a figure that was very familiar to him in his life.
——His sister, Xu Wanxue.
Damn it...Lin Mo complained crazily in his heart, which was rare.
Why is she here? Didn't she agree that these tedious tasks should be handed over to the company's public relations department?
As the Chief Technology Officer of Kangtao Company's Night City Division, would you come to attend this kind of memorial service in person?
Since today's arrangement is to come and attend Saburo's memorial service, it is destined that not much will happen on this day.
So much so that when I used the simulator to rehearse last night, the content of the simulated deeds only summarized the process of tonight's memorial service in a few words, without describing the process in detail.
Therefore, Lin Mo was quite surprised that Xu Wanxue would appear here.
Although he was extremely confused at this time, it seemed to be some kind of secret mutual induction. The moment Lin Mo's eyes fell on Xu Wanxue, she seemed to have noticed something, and she suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction of the second floor.
.
Xu Wanxue's eyes quickly changed from confusion to shock.
She moved her eyes up and down slightly, keeping her attention on Lin Mo, as if to confirm whether she had recognized the wrong person.
Then, Lin Mo had no choice but to meet her gaze helplessly, nodded silently, stretched out his fingers and made a "shh" motion on his lips.
In fact, during the short period of time when Xu Wanxue noticed something strange and raised her head, with his reaction speed, he could completely move away from her sight.
But Lin Mo thought again and suddenly realized that he had nothing to escape from.
Even if he is now wearing the uniform of Arasaka Company and standing next to Arasaka Yorinobu acting like a bodyguard, based on her sister's trust in him, she must have thought that he was performing some kind of secret mission.
Sure enough, when she saw Lin Mo nodding towards her, Xu Wanxue immediately understood what he wanted to express.
She calmly nodded to Lin Mo in response, then turned her eyes and continued to participate in the memorial service as if nothing was wrong.
"Is she your sister?" Lai Xuan also noticed the interaction between the two and smiled slightly: "I can see that she cares about you very much. You two have a good relationship."
"Yeah." Lin Mo nodded without comment and joked: "But it's only like this now. I made her very worried before and often irritated him with certain things.
..It’s fine now, she has compromised.”
"To be honest, I am surprised and envious." Lai Xuan said in a low voice:
"I have learned about your past deeds. According to a normal person's psychology, family members are generally not allowed to be marginalized. Especially from your sister's perspective, this is even more unbelievable."
I think he did something similar back then. It was also the same night when his father took him to have a secret conversation in a room. I can’t remember the content of the conversation now, but most of it was brainwashing words related to the revitalization of Arasaka.
.
Then, he ran away from the family that night and showed his resistance to his father with actions.
No one understood him...perhaps they did, but in the end they died at the hands of the Arasaka agents sent by his father.
Now, even the person closest to him, his sister Hanako Arasaka, chooses to go against him.
So now seeing that Lin Mo can have such a relative who can understand him, Lai Xuan would be lying if he said he was not envious.
Lin Mo smiled softly and said from the bottom of his heart:
"The greatest luck in my life may be meeting her."
He could see the complicated emotions in Yori Xuan's heart at this moment, but he couldn't think of anything to say to comfort him.
Yori Xuan wanted to turn himself into a nuclear bomb, but setting off a nuclear bomb would always kill someone.
So he chose to become the nuclear bomb within Arasaka Company.
Therefore, the people who will die in the future will only be people from Arasaka Company.
"Actually... I went to see the secret room you told me that day. I didn't have permission to enter the secret room you told me about. Knight helped me get in." Lai Xuan suddenly looked at Lin Mo and said:
"It's exactly as you said, there is a hidden service unit, and a certain personality data consciousness is stored at the bottom of the network. However, if there is no key chip, the personality data consciousness will not wake up, let alone any
Action is just an unknown data code."
"Although I still don't know the true face of data consciousness, I guess it can't be anyone else except the old man. And there is a room exactly like that office in almost every company branch."
It was precisely after seeing these unknown secrets hidden within the company that Lai Xuan chose to completely trust Lin Mo's judgment.
After all, he couldn't think of any more convincing evidence than this.
In a sense, this boy completely took off Saburo Arasaka's underwear. The old immortal hid his personality data so well, but in the end, this boy took it out by unknown means.
With such strong evidence, even if Lin Mo now says that the person standing in front of him is not Yori Xuan himself, but a person pretending to be Data Persona, Yori Xuan himself may be dubious and believe that he is not a real person.
As for the fact that his sister Hanako Arasaka would betray him, what does this little thing mean?
The only thing Yori Xuan can do is, of course, choose to believe.
While the two were chatting, a hostess at the venue suddenly ran over silently, walked up to Yori Xuan and whispered a few words.
She had no intention of avoiding Lin Mo at all, and what she said reached Lin Mo's ears word for word. To put it simply, Hanako Arasaka had arrived, and the floating car was parked on the upper apron.
Lai Xuan waved his hand and asked the etiquette lady to step back temporarily, then turned to look at Lin Mo and said:
"My sister has arrived. I need to go up to receive her. Do you want to come with her?"
Lin Mo lowered his head and pondered for a long time. Finally, he seemed to think of something, shook his head and said:
"No need for now, I don't want to show up in front of her yet, so I'll use the camera to observe in secret."
Although he was acting as Yorinobu's bodyguard tonight, in fact Yorinobu didn't use his protection tonight.
Even Oda, Arasaka Hanako's personal bodyguard and Takemura Goro's apprentice, could not fall out with Yorinobu in person without Hanako's instructions.
Lai Xuan nodded slightly, having no objection to Lin Mo's approach, and then reminded:
"Nate is in a conference room on the upper floor right now. There is no one else there. You can go over and have a chat with him."
Tonight's memorial service, in addition to politely "memorizing" Saburo Arasaka, has invited so many high-profile figures to come. Naturally, Arasaka Company has also arranged many secluded conference rooms for guests to rest and chat.
.
"I understand." Lin Mo nodded.
The two of them parted ways. Lin Mo stood on the second floor and glanced at his elder sister. Seeing that she was doing nothing at the memorial service and didn't encounter any trouble, he felt relieved.
He turned around and walked towards the elevator. Following Yori Xuan's instructions, he arrived at a secluded conference room in the corner upstairs.
When he came to the door, the door opened automatically before he could knock on the door.
This is a small conference room with warm yellow indoor lighting. There is only a circular sofa that can accommodate six or seven people, and a TV is hung on the opposite wall.
Nate, whose eyes glowed with blue light and had an elegant and easy-going appearance, sat on the sofa and gently stretched out his hand to indicate to Lin Mo:
"Please take a seat."
"Are you too free to come and attend the memorial service tonight?" Lin Mo picked up the glass kettle, poured himself a glass of water, and took a gulp.
Knight said slowly:
"I just happened to watch the memorial service by the way. My original intention was to take this opportunity to come over and have a few words with you."
Lin Mo sat on the sofa and asked relaxedly: "What do you want to talk about?"
"Recently I spent some time thinking about the plan you mentioned before. Although I still can't understand all your thoughts, I still want to remind you of one flaw in the plan, that is, you are sure to let Johnny choose the military
Is technology an adversary?" Knight asked.
"Plans can never keep up with changes. No matter how powerful I am, I can't just casually come up with a 100% successful plan, so there is a high probability that I will change some details of the plan in the future. However, what's the problem with what you said?
"?" Lin Mo said.
Knight looked serious: "There is a problem, and it's a big problem."
Lin Mo did not ask immediately. Instead, he lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then he seemed to have thought of the answer and said uncertainly:
"Do you think Johnny's body may not be able to support him in completing this task?"
"Your analysis is correct." Knight was already used to Lin Mo's behavior of "predicting what others were about to say in advance." He said calmly:
"Every company building uses the company's intranet internally. These networks are not under the jurisdiction of Ye's company and do not have specific access rights. We cannot let Johnny connect to these company subnets."
Lin Mo nodded clearly:
"Well, are you trying to say that if Johnny ran into these company buildings, he might fall to the ground and disconnect after running a few steps, and then stop and lose contact?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! This is not difficult to analyze.
In Johnny's current state of existence, if you want to ask him what his biggest flaw is, it is undoubtedly the "network signal".
However, there is no other way. After all, it is impossible for Lin Mo to find V to act as a "shared body" for Johnny to use.
Lin Mo continued:
"You can rest assured about this. Regarding the access rights to the internal network of Military Technology, if I have the opportunity, I will try to break into their network data fortress alone and steal the access rights... But the only uncertainty about this method is,
It’s just that I can’t guarantee that I can remain completely undetected.”
Knight's eyes widened slightly, he glanced at Lin Mo in surprise, and was speechless for a moment.
Breaking through the company's data fortress alone...and then stealing what you want...The only thing you can't guarantee is that you are worried that you will be discovered?
What is hidden under the relaxed words is the boy's terrifying network hacking ability. It is no wonder that he was able to solve the AI problem that had puzzled Kangtao Company for decades.
I bet you still have to go in and out seven times to get the enemy general’s head in the online world, but you’re not satisfied with that, and you still want to “quietly” go in and out seven times to get the enemy general’s head?
However, Knight also admitted that the latter method is indeed more difficult.
"Actually, I can provide a solution." Finally, Knight expressed his opinion.
"What can I do?" Lin Mo asked curiously.
"Find a company insider, and it must be a company hacker with a high status, and let him help us with our actions." Knight said slowly.
Lin Mo smiled and glanced at Knight meaningfully:
"So, you have found the right candidate?"
Nate nodded and said with a smile:
"Actually, I had already been in contact with her before the two of us had formal contact in the past, but she and I haven't reached an agreement yet."
"So you contacted her with the intention of giving it a try? What's wrong, is there any difficulty in her that makes her want to negotiate terms with you?" Lin Mo asked with a smile.
"As you said, she has been troubled by something over the years, and this thing will kill her in the foreseeable future. I just have a clue to solve the problem. In order to survive, she
You have to cooperate with me."
Lin Mo suddenly became interested and asked casually:
