Commercial vehicles travel on the roads of Night City, and the street lights on both sides of the driveway gradually change from rare to common. The city's scenery slowly brightens up with the sound of engines, and the dark urban areas gradually become colorful.
Johnny Silver was sitting in the back seat with a gloomy expression on his face. The light from outside the car window shone on his face. As the vehicle drove, the intersection of light and shadow kept flashing on his face.
Pass.
After being silent for an unknown amount of time, as if he had just come back from his thoughts, Johnny Silverhand tilted his head slightly, glanced sideways at the red-haired female hacker beside him, and asked in a deep voice:
"Girl, did you really admit the wrong person? Is the AI that reached an agreement with some kind of bird president really a spider?"
"My life is now in your hands, and there is still the black wall AI in my head that wants to take over my body at all times... I am already like this, is there any benefit in lying to you?" Bai Ling
Bird smiled faintly, his beautiful eyes full of curiosity, looking up and down Johnny Silverhand:
"But I really didn't expect that Mr. Johnny Silverhand, who lived in rumors, could reappear in this way... If Spider Murphy knew about this, he would definitely have a lot to say to you.
explain."
Johnny Silverhand glanced at the lark in surprise and asked:
"Can you see my true nature?"
You must know that although the body carefully prepared for him by Lin Mo and Knight is still inferior to the real body in many aspects, in daily life, almost no one can tell that he is a pure "prosthetic body"
.
Even Rogge, who had worked together before, and even V, who had fought side by side in the past few days, did not recognize at first glance that his "true face" was actually a string of data consciousness.
Now the lark has seen his true nature at a glance. Could it be that Lin Mo told her the situation in advance?
"Don't look at me, she saw it herself. Didn't you see the hacker prosthetic body on her body? The most advanced hacker component in today's era allows hackers to sense cyberspace in the real world without going through a hacker base station.
, your appearance cannot be hidden in her eyes."
Lin Mo, who was in the driver's seat, shrugged indifferently, saw Johnny looking at him through the rearview mirror, and explained in a calm tone.
Knight also smiled at the right time and said softly:
"Let's discuss this little matter later. The most important thing now is your opinion. What does Mr. Silverhand think of Spider Murphy?"
Johnny Silverhand was silent for a while and understood the reason why Lin Mo asked him to get in the car and talk in detail.
——Use your own data memory to analyze what kind of person Spider Murphy is.
"Spider... To be honest, I only know that she is a very reliable hacker. She gives a lively impression, just like an innocent little girl. She always pops out some words that are difficult for us to understand.
, The way of thinking is quite off-line." He thought for a while before saying.
"She now chooses to cooperate with Miles. What do you think is the reason?" Lin Mo asked.
Johnny Silverhand twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a smile:
"When I worked with her in the past, the things that aroused her interest were usually related to hackers, such as hacking into the databases of large companies, the latest hacker components, breaking through data fortresses... Only these things will interest her.
Seriously, now you tell me that she is hanging out with Miles, who knows what her purpose is."
A person who behaves out of line and is only interested in things like hackers and cyberspace would come to the President of the United States without warning and then discuss mutually beneficial terms and plans?
It has been decades since Spider Murphy became a "ghost" in cyberspace. Her appearance without warning this time must not be for the purpose of seeking benefits in the real world.
Lin Mo frowned and made a guess:
"Is it possible that Miles has something in her hands that can interest her? Otherwise, I can't figure it out. With her identity and strength in cyberspace, she can't be a bad person when she suddenly seeks out Miles.
Drop it."
"I can't guess either." Knight sighed and analyzed calmly:
"According to my intelligence network, she has never shown any desire for the real world before. Unlike Ms. Ott, she is too low-key. Even though she is clearly aware of her existence, we still cannot obtain any useful information about her.
.”
Lin Mo observed Knight secretly, feeling quite surprised.
He also didn't expect that this mysterious blue-eyed gentleman in the game would now be confused about the appearance of Spider Murphy.
As for "Whether Knight would conceal this matter and deceive himself", Lin Mo had this speculation, but quickly put it behind him.
The launch date of the final plan is getting closer and closer, and the New Year will be here in a month or two, leaving them little time.
At this juncture, Spider Murphy's sudden appearance is undoubtedly an unplanned "accident". Judging from the close cooperation between him and Knight, delaying the development of the plan will not be beneficial to both parties.
She doesn’t have any information... and she is a legendary boss in cyberspace, but if Spider Murphy is allowed to mess around, who knows what she will do.
This unstable and restless factor must be eliminated in advance, and her purpose must be understood.
At the very least, we must ensure that she will not interfere with our future plans.
"By the way, since we are cooperating with the dignified president of a country, what benefits did Spider Murphy promise to Miles? Will she be able to go crazy and violate international law and choose to cooperate with AI?" Lin Mo pointed the topic at Lark.
.
"I don't know. With their status as two guys, the conversation between the two parties must never be disclosed to any outsider. With Spider Murphy here, eavesdropping is impossible... and when they put the conversation
After everything was said, I was manipulated by Spider Murphy, and the black wall AI took over my consciousness. I have no idea what happened after that." Lark said.
Knight chuckled and judged calmly:
"No need to guess. There are countless data treasures outside the black wall. After the data collapse, these things became ownerless. Coupled with Spider Murphy's own hacking ability, all the chips added up are enough.
Let Miles help the country regain its former greatness."
"Again greatness?" Lin Mo smiled slightly.
The president of New America is an ambitious woman, but New America is just a small country...
For no apparent reason, Lin Mo thought of what the agent named Li De said.
For such an elite agent who is determined to serve the country and would rather die than surrender to make such an objective and slightly derogatory comment is enough to show that the new US president is indeed not an ordinary person.
However, those who can have such ambitions and successfully become president must not lack the rationality comparable to their ambitions.
Knowing that there would be huge hidden dangers in cooperating with Spider Murphy, once the exchanges between the two parties were leaked, she would inevitably face an irreversible ending...but she still chose to do this...
With just Spider Murphy, can she really give up all risks to cooperate?
If we think about it from another angle, what if Miles, the new president of the United States, was coerced or deceived and had to cooperate?
The more he thought about it, the darker Lin Mo's expression became.
Perhaps... the background of Spider Murphy is much bigger than they currently expected.
At this time, he glanced at the clock in the car - 23:22, less than an hour before the next day.
"You two can chat slowly. I'm thinking while driving. I'm already a little tired. I need to relax for a while."
Lin Mo yawned and adjusted the vehicle to automatic driving mode. Then he took out the Mewtwo headband from his pocket and put it on his head without saying a word.
"Damn, you kid, are you serious? You choose this time to play Mewtwo... Don't let me see you putting your hand into your crotch later. I'm so disgusting!" Johnny Silverhand was a little angry.
Laughed.
Knight glanced at Lin Mo in surprise, but didn't say anything. After all, in his impression, this boy was a weirdo... The logic of his behavior was so abnormal that it was unpredictable.
As an outsider, Lark would not say anything about this.
The Mewtwo simulator was started, and the simulation deeds of the next day began to be listed in front of Lin Mo:
[In the early morning of the next day, send Silverhand, Knight and others back to their respective homes, and you finally returned to your home. 】
[As soon as you stepped into the house, before you had time to sit down and rest, you suddenly saw Xu Wanxue walking towards you in a hurry. From her mouth, you heard some bad news. 】
[The elite agent you captured, Li De, the commander behind the attack last night, actually had a highly potent time bomb implanted in his right knee in advance, and detonated it in vain on the way back to Kangtao Company, causing the death of
Several Kangtao security guards were killed, and Li De himself also died in the explosion.]
[You frowned and asked the specific time of the explosion.]
[Xu Wanxue answered: 00:15 minutes.]
【You are quite surprised by this.】
[In the previous simulation preview, you already knew that Li De planted a bomb in his palm in advance, so during the arrest last night, you took the lead in cutting off Li De's palm to avoid the explosion of the bomb.
risks of.】
[Planting bombs in one's body in advance... This approach can be understood as "preventing leaks caused by failure of the operation", thereby allowing those who may leak the secrets to commit suicide to keep it secret.]
[What’s the point of being able to implant two bombs in a row? Do you think one bomb is not safe enough? Then why do you set the detonation time of the bomb to the next day? 】
[You are very confused by a series of questions, but no one can answer them for you. You only know that the elite agent you had high hopes for is dead, and his death is unclear and worthless. 】
[You calmed down and sighed silently, not taking this matter too seriously.]
[After all, you and that agent only had a one-time relationship. The reason why you kept the other agent alive was just to use him. Now that the chess piece is destroyed, you can only regret it for a while. 】
【A night without words...】
【......】
[...It’s noon, and a sudden breaking news instantly absorbs all your energy]
[Sky-1, a luxurious private plane, the exclusive car of the new US President Miles, crashed into the Dog Town area of Taipingzhou in the Night City without warning! 】
[With all kinds of news floating around, people reasonably speculate that this must be the conspiracy of Hansen, the leader of Dog Town!]
[Besides this speculation, they can’t think of a second possibility. After all, it’s impossible for the new US president to want to commit such a suicide crash, right? 】
[You can’t predict the occurrence of this accident in advance. You can only watch helplessly as media companies around the world rush to report on it.]
[The news station has exploded, and all the anchors of the news programs are reasonably doubting whether the leader of Dog Town, Colonel Hansen, has lost his mind and dared to attack the personal car of the new American president.]
[Various news, true or false, began to fill this bustling city, and everyone was speculating on Colonel Hansen’s motives and purpose for attacking the new American president. 】
[...In the evening, the White House spokesperson declared: Violent suppression measures will be taken against the Dog Town area of Night City, and every effort will be made to save the new President of the United States. Everything will focus on the president's personal safety.]
【What a chaotic day...】
【So many things happened in one day, this is what you think about it: The rain is coming and the wind is blowing.】
[Simulated evaluation: Dog bites dog? NO!]
[Simulation rewards: "Aircraft Safety Maintenance Manual", "Wilderness Survival Guide", "Plane Crash - One Hundred Things You Can Do"]
