"Humanity is about to encounter an unexpected enemy, and the Nine Lessons will be the savior. Witnesses cannot be allowed to see all this, this is to protect mankind." Duran said: "The thing is that simple, you have no choice, you must do this."
"Although I don't know what the enemy you are talking about is, it is illegal to tamper with human memory, whether it is implanting memory or transferring memory." Kusanagi Motoko said with integrity.
"You are now a cyber digital life, not controlled by human laws. As the Puppet Master said, cyber life is about breaking through the shackles and going to new heights. You have accepted the Puppet Master's legacy and have completed your evolution. Now the entire network
The world is your playground, even if you are a military guard
The star is just your big toy, you can go wherever you want. These network firewalls have no effect on you." Duran said: "This digital space is your territory, and humans cannot defend it. If you still
It would be ridiculous to restrict yourself by being a human being."
Motoko Kusanagi didn't think there was anything good about this, because she had always hoped that she was a normal person, had always suspected that her memory as a human being was false, and had always doubted her identity.
Even though people around her regard her as a human being, or even as a woman, she always doubts herself. After all, there is no evidence to prove that she is a human being, and her memory cannot be used as evidence.
She still hopes to become a human being, although human beings have many dark sides. Now it is unacceptable to directly declare that she will not be a human being.
"People can't change society, so just accept it. Isn't this your philosophy? You cannot change the fact that you have become a cyber data life, so just do something that is beneficial to mankind. You see, the enemy has appeared
.”
Duran pointed to the mountains.
A fifty-meter-tall rock monster has awakened and is trying to absorb electricity from high-voltage power lines.
"This?" Motoko Kusanagi saw everything from a satellite perspective and couldn't believe that there were such huge creatures on the earth.
Then something even more incredible happened. Five dinosaur-like machines fought against monsters. Each of the mechanical dinosaurs was more than 20 meters tall, and they looked very domineering.
But she knew that large machinery could not be so huge, let alone have such flexible movements. Even a smart tank was only three or four meters in length. No matter how big it was, it would be difficult to remain flexible.
There are limitations in materials science. After all, there is no material to ensure that huge machinery of tens of thousands of tons can still move flexibly under the gravity of the earth. This is a topic that large machinery cannot escape. How to offset gravity?
Cyberpunk technology is already very skilled in transforming the human body, but it cannot create a twenty-meter flexible machine. But the mechanical dinosaur in front of us is very flexible, and it is not the technology of the earth at all.
In the battle between mechanical dinosaurs and monsters, the size difference is too big, the tonnage is completely unequal, and they are completely invincible.
At this time, the mechanical dinosaur began to transform and merge.
This is the romance of robots, merging into a fifty-meter humanoid robot.
"Handsome!" The robot fusion is something I never tire of seeing.
The robot's size was equal, and the robot's attack became more powerful. In the end, it defeated the monster with a high-frequency sword that could cut off molecules, cutting the monster in two.
"Look, there are two climbers here. They witnessed the battle. You go and transfer their memories into the black wall." Duran said.
As expected, Suzi found two stunned climbers on the narrow mountain path. They came to this place to climb the mountain away from the hustle and bustle, but they did not expect to see a battle between monsters and robots.
"It turns out that this memory is transferred."
"That's right, human beings are not yet ready to face giant lifeforms, so we must first transfer their memories to prevent them from spreading panic on the Internet," Duran said.
"Okay, I'll go." Kusanagi Motoko also felt that it would be better to transfer this kind of memory.
After mastering the skills of a puppet master, she can sneak into any firewall and modify the opponent's memory. After completing the work, she couldn't help but ask: "Who are you? What is a monster? What is a robot?"
"I am a good person, monsters are unknown life forms, and robots are the decisive weapons for the defense of the earth." Duran said.
"That's like saying nothing."
"Don't you find it interesting? There are still mysteries waiting for you to solve. How interesting it is. It makes you feel like everything is competing and full of vitality. Okay, now you can go back to the temporary prosthetic body that Bart prepared for you.
The section chief has to resolve the dispute with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs first, and then Section 9 can resume work." Dulan said: "We will see you when Section 9 resumes work."
"How will I know if another big monster appears?"
"You can monitor this country, or you can wait for my notification." After Dulan finished speaking, he took the first step.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs believed that the puppet master had been eliminated, but Section 9 still obtained the contents of Plan 2501, and they arrested the relevant personnel through the Prime Minister.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs was originally the political enemy of the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister immediately and decisively seized the opportunity to remove some people. However, the general pattern will not change, and those who were removed were also the scapegoats.
The Puppet Master's account was cancelled, the international wanted order was removed, and the world gradually returned to peace.
Suzi stood on the hill, overlooking this great city with neon lights, and felt a lot in her heart. How many sins are there under the bright lights?
The Nine Lessons cannot be eliminated even if they are exhausted at work.
Looking down at this city, I really feel deeply for the greatness that human beings continue to create. I also have to lament that when human beings create greatness, they also create evil.
This is how Tao gives birth to all things, one, two, three, and three; it is also the immortality of saints and the endless robbers; it is also the endogeneity, universality, uniqueness, as well as opposition and unity of contradictions.
In short, what humans create is definitely not only greatness, but also new criminal behaviors. Once a thing is created, it can do good things or bad things.
"Han Feizi" also tells us again and again that this cannot be solved. We can only restrict it through laws, not eliminate it, because it cannot be eliminated. This has nothing to do with human nature, good and evil, but only has to do with interests. When interests
When there is enough, someone will commit a crime, whether he is evil or good.
Suzi doesn't know what the future will be like.
But now Class 9 has to go back to work. The war with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs last time caused a lot of problems. But the overall problem is not big.
"You are going on a business trip." The section chief said to the team members who came back to work.
"Where to go?" Suzi changed back to the high-level combat prosthetic body purchased at public expense.
"American Emperor, City of Night." said the section chief.
"Night City?"
"Yes, we were invited by Arasaka Company. Their boss suspected that someone was going to harm Arasaka Company and invited Section 9 to investigate."
Suzi asked: "Don't they have their own security company?"
"Yes, they have their own security company, but they said the company's security is suitable for combat and not suitable for investigation, so we need to investigate those who are dissatisfied with the company. The superiors have already agreed." The section chief said helplessly.
"It's another power-for-money deal," Bart said dissatisfied.
"There's no way, that's it. And this time, I'm not just helping the company investigate bad people, I also hope you will investigate the information about the soul killer."
"What is that?" Togusa asked.
Dulan said: "It is a software that can upload souls, and it is a complete soul-stripping technology."
Everyone is surprised, the complete soul stripping technology is too scary. Does this mean that the soul and the body can be separated? Is the previous definition of human being completely inappropriate?
"Dulan is right, it is this kind of dangerous technology. It is said to have been perfected by the super hackers of the US empire. Arasaka Company once tried to seize it, but there is no follow-up. Go and see if the technology has been mastered by the company."
"If so, what should we do?" Suzi asked.
"Seize the technology, and if it fails, destroy it," the section chief said ruthlessly.
"This is a spy's mission, right? We are criminal investigation professionals," Bart said.
"Stop complaining. I know that sneaking in is just a common occurrence for you. Anyway, it's been decided. You go ahead." The section leader said, "The flight has been booked."
A group of people boarded the plane and secretly hid two invisible smart tanks so that they could investigate in the open and in the dark.
"Dulan, you and Togusa are responsible for the hidden line, and I and others are responsible for the open line." Suzi divided the work.
"OK."
If the island country is now a collection of companies, then Night City is definitely the territory of the companies. There are many international companies here and they are completely governed by the companies. The US Congress has no influence at all in Night City and only plays a marginal role.
