The lark he knew was actually taken over by a black wall AI... Li De lowered his head and felt cold all over.
Thinking back on his interactions with Lark these days, she did not behave like the girl he knew in the past.
She was more irritable, paranoid and even crazy, and even her hacking skills were far beyond his expectations. She was like a monster born specifically to kill people. There were several times when even he himself felt sincerely afraid of this girl.
He originally thought that this was the lark that had transformed in the past seven years without his knowledge, and became an agent even more ruthless and cold-blooded than him... But now listening to what Lin Mo said, all of this was caused by AI.
?
And it’s impossible that their immediate boss, President Miles, doesn’t know about this!
As for whether what Lin Mo just mentioned was correct, Li De didn't have much doubt about it. As an extremely good agent, he had his own set of rational judgments about right and wrong, and the ability to tell the truth.
According to the information currently known, what Lin Mo said is most likely true.
"How's it going? Doesn't it feel good to be deceived by your master?" Lin Mo put his hands on both sides of the box and asked leisurely while sitting on it.
Li De's expression was calm, as if he had been used to it and said:
"In my opinion, this kind of thing is very common."
"Yo." Lin Mo clicked his tongue mockingly and shook his head: "If I were the president of New America, then I would be very happy to have a loyal dog like you under my command."
"So? Even if you are the president, no matter what you think of me, things will not change. I am just an agent affiliated with the new CIA. Serving the country is my job and my responsibility.
"Li De replied calmly.
Lin Mo looked at him deeply, and was silent for a long time not knowing what to think.
If there are other acquaintances around, such as Lucy, Sasha or Jack, they will definitely be very familiar with Lin Mo's current expression.
——Anything that requires careful consideration and involves future planning, he will act like this and think about it for a long time.
Finally, as if he had figured something out, Lin Mo smiled again and asked:
"It seems that it is impossible to pry out some information from you. Then we can change the topic and talk. Can I ask you, what do you think of New America and President Miles?"
Li De raised his head and looked at Lin Mo with some confusion.
He couldn't guess why Lin Mo asked these questions, but the other party obviously didn't want to have a casual chat, but had a deeper purpose.
Do you want to take this opportunity to win over me? Or do you want to take this opportunity to get closer to me so that you can get the information from me?
"I don't understand what you mean." Li Deyan replied concisely and concisely.
"It's nothing, I just want to chat." Lin Mo shrugged, his words mocking:
"Why, you didn't want to reveal the organization behind you from the very beginning, even though this is already an open-book question for me, but now you don't want to comment on Xinmei and Miles. Isn't this in your heart?
Ghost?"
It seemed that he could only answer him truthfully... Li De observed Lin Mo's face expressionlessly.
He could understand that as a prisoner, the reason why the other party still kept him alive and chatted with him here was definitely not some bullshit reason like "cherishing talents" or "sympathizing with each other among strong men".
The other party just wanted to get some valuable information from his mouth. The main purpose was to wait here for the lark to wake up, and he was just a bonus.
If he waits for the lark to wake up and tell everything to the boy, he will become worthless and his final end will be to be abandoned.
There is nothing shameful about dying for the country, but Li De felt that he always had to do something for his country.
After thinking again and again, Li De finally answered in a calm tone:
"Xinmei is just a small country, and the woman who rules it is ambitious and wants to restore this country to its past status. Her idea is not wrong, but in many cases, ambition often overwhelms reason."
"So you also look down on that woman?" Lin Mo asked with a smile.
"I never said anything like that." Li De was still cautious about his words and actions.
Lin Mo nodded, smiled very subtly, and finally said nothing.
When he successfully captured Li De tonight, he had already learned Li De's identity in advance through the intelligence channels of Knight and Yori Xuan.
——One of the best former CIA agents and a star figure with many achievements in the agency. He was the head of the intelligence agency of Night City during the Unification War 7 years ago. After the war, he was abandoned by Xinmei.
He disappeared in an ambush at Arasaka Company and his life or death is unknown.
The above is all the character information that Lin Mo obtained from Arasaka Company through Yori Xuan, and then Knight also conducted an in-depth dig into this person's information.
Now it seems that Li De should have faked his death and lurked in Night City.
Seven years have passed since the war, which means that this man has been lurking in Night City for 7 years, and he is still not allowed to reveal any rumors about his latent status. This means that his living conditions are not very good.
It is not an easy task to still be so conscientious and hard-working despite having great achievements.
It is not difficult to obtain intelligence information about these characters.
After all, Li De himself is already in his own hands, he has not undergone plastic surgery, and his facial features are still stored in the Arasaka Company's database.
However, although he was very optimistic about Li De's loyalty and dedication, Lin Mo was still more optimistic about his "contributions" and potential value in the CIA.
If this person can be exploited, the rewards may be much greater than killing him.
Moreover, the other party does not seem like someone who is loyal to the president. It should be the system and Xinmei that can make him pay his life.
"where is this?"
A sudden female voice interrupted the silence between Lin Mo and Li De.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The timing of the sound was very clever, just when Lin Mo didn't know what to say.
The two of them looked at the table together. The red-haired beauty who was lying there finally woke up. She was supporting the table with one hand and rubbing her head vigorously with the other hand.
"My head hurts...what the hell...happened!" Lark murmured in a low voice, with a rather painful tone.
"Xiao Song, are you okay?" Li De asked quickly with concern.
Lin Mo was still sitting, observing her quietly.
It should be that his personality consciousness has just been awakened, causing the memory of the body that was previously taken over by the black wall AI to no longer exist.
The lark opened its hazy eyes, which were dark and no longer the strange red color before.
She looked at Li De who was tied to the chair and Lin Mo who was sitting on a box. Her thoughts were racing in her mind:
"Li De? Why are you here...and you, who are you?"
Lin Mo nodded and responded politely: "My name is Lin Mo. This is the first time we have met, Miss Lark."
"Do you know me?" Lark asked confused.
"The neural matrix, the black wall AI in your brain, your little life and Little Beidou... After hearing these things, you should know my origin, right?" Lin Mo said with a smile.
The lark opened his eyes wide and asked: "Are you the mysterious contact person?"
"He is my accomplice." Lin Moyan said succinctly:
"But now is not the time to talk about this. Instead of continuing to dwell on my affairs, why don't you tell me what happened to you first? Recall it carefully, Miss Lark, what did you go through before you lost your memory?"
He looked at Li De, who was silent on the side, smiled slightly and continued: "My old friends and I are very curious about this."
Lark was startled, and turned his head with a stiff neck to look at Li De.
The latter's face was calm as usual, and he nodded silently to her, as if he had been so calm from beginning to end.
But Lark believed that she was right. When she woke up, Li De did have a moment of concern and worry.
Thinking of this, the expression on her face began to look a little guilty, as if she had recalled something, and she did not dare to look directly into Li De's eyes again.
Li De was also watching the lark, and when he found that she suddenly avoided his sight, he couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart.
His observation skills are very keen, and he can naturally see that Lark's emotions are very complicated at this moment. It feels like the two of them have been separated for a long time and finally met today.
The lark can now show such humane emotions, instead of being as cold and ruthless as before. This also proves that Lin Mo is right. The "lark" he saw before was probably hacked.
AI controlled lark.
Now Lin Mo asked Lark to tell the truth about the whole thing, but Li De didn't try to stop him.
He can be very harsh on himself and will never allow himself to reveal a shred of information to the enemy, even if the cost is to sacrifice his life for the country.
But if the person who revealed the information is someone else on his own side, he will not force the other party to stick to the information, but will do his best to make up for the mistakes made by the other party.
He has always been very tolerant towards his own people, even if this tolerance cost him his life.
Under the gazes of Lin Mo and Li De, Lark grabbed her head with both hands in great pain, as if recalling the incident was a painful torture for her.
"It's Spider Murphy! The famous hacker who worked with Johnny Silverhand in the 1920s! She also used Soul Killer back then, turning herself into a data consciousness in cyberspace. It was she who passed through the hacker system a few days ago.
Qiang came to contact me and reached a cooperation with Miles!"
Lin Mo, who was sitting on the box and wanted to watch the fun, suddenly became restless. His body straightened up slightly, with a surprised look on his face.
