Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 165 Subnet Poseidon
Arasaka Tower.

33rd Floor Counterintelligence Department.

Tang Yu lifted the suit jacket covering his body, sat up from the sofa, went to the water dispenser and poured a cup of hot water, and then sat back in his office.

After starting the office system and calling up the monitoring screen of the interrogation room, it has been a whole night to check whether Lucy's situation is all right.

in the screen.

Lucy still held her knees, as if she hadn't moved all night, and the breakfast sent by the watchman was also placed at the gate without moving at all.

Although Lucy in the picture is curled up alone, it is better than violent behavior. As long as it is confirmed that there is no safety problem, I believe she will be sent out soon.

After going out, she will usher in a brand new life.

Tang Yu turned off the screen, ready to start today's work.

He asked the front desk to cancel today's daily affairs and focus on dealing with matters related to network surveillance.

I basically sorted out some things last night, and the rest is to put them in place one by one.

His previous decision to let Lucy join the network monitoring had multiple considerations.

One is that Network Monitoring is not a company in nature, it is an independent global network organization, and it welcomes capable deep-diving hackers.

Lucy's identity and conditions are more in line with the requirements of network surveillance.

The second is that Internet Monitoring has cooperation agreements with major companies, and there is also a clear agreement with Arasaka.

If Lucy can successfully join the job, the Arasaka Company will not be able to continue to hunt her down as a fugitive deep-diving hacker.

Some network surveillance agents were formerly deep-diving hackers of major companies, and the extradition of deep-diving hackers is an established rule in the industry.

In addition, Arasaka Company will not offend the network surveillance for a little unknown deep-diving hacker.

Lucy was targeted entirely because Kate realized that there might be some kind of secret relationship between her and Tang Yu.

As long as Kate disappears, no one in Arasaka Tower will bother with an agent who is already working in network surveillance.

In addition, there is Tang Yu on the Arasaka Tower to help her cover, so there is almost no difficulty in whitewashing her identity.

The third is that Lucy herself has no choice, and the life simulation results have already explained everything.

It is useless for her to continue to escape, and sooner or later she will fall into Arasaka's hands. Not only will she have no way out, but it will also bring huge potential hidden dangers to Tang Yu.

and so.

Tang Yu never planned to let her go from the beginning, and he had to stay with him whether he lived or died.

Things have developed to the present, and the situation is no longer within the control of Lucy alone, let alone deciding whether to stay or not.

top priority.

Tang Yu had to get in touch with the network monitoring people first, and there was one network monitoring acquaintance he had known.

Bryce Mosley.

Mosley is the Senior Regional Director of Cyber ​​Surveillance, responsible for Special Operations for Cyber ​​Surveillance Agents throughout North America, and is a top agent in the Night City Cyber ​​Surveillance Division.

Back then, Tang Yu also helped Mosley enter the Voodoo Gang and break through the subnet Poseidon system.

After the two wiped out the voodoo gang, the two sides also worked together to successfully prevent Alt Cunningham from breaking through the black wall and entering the human material world.

On the attitude towards artificial intelligence AI, the opinions of the two are quite consistent.

Mosley was amazed by Tang Yu's superb hacking skills and urged him to join the network monitoring, but Tang Yu refused.

In short.

Mosley left a good impression on Tang Yu, a hacker agent who likes to watch western cowboy movies, and has a very talkative personality, which is tens of millions of times better than the group of bad faith guys in the voodoo gang.

Through the office system, Tang Yu called up the high-level contact information of various departments for network monitoring, and directly found the information of Bryce Mosley.

In order for Lucy to successfully join the network monitoring, she must have a good record.

This time, Tang Yu has prepared a stepping stone for Lucy.

He called the front desk and informed Mosley, the senior director of network monitoring, to come to the office to meet. He said that he wanted to talk to him about a cooperation project, about the voodoo gang subnet Poseidon.

as predicted.

The front desk quickly sent back a message that Bryce Mosley was on his way.

The voodoo gang has always been the focus of Internet surveillance, and it is also the most troublesome thing for Mosley.

Subnet Poseidon is completely free from network monitoring and control, and many illegal actions in cyberspace, as well as acts of destroying black walls, are carried out through subnet Poseidon.

From the perspective of network monitoring, this is absolutely not allowed. An unsupervised subnet will cause great potential harm to the few remaining public networks.

What's more, those people from the Voodoo Gang are restless and kind, and have been working on breaking through the prison and over the wall, trying to study and destroy the black wall.

Mosley spent a lot of money in order to break through the subnet Poseidon.

Without Tang Yu's assistance, it would not be an easy task to take down the Voodoo Gang.

So Tang Yu concluded that when Mosley heard about the subnet Poseidon, he would definitely want to figure out what was going on.

and.

It is normal for network monitoring to cooperate with companies. Since there are common interests and goals, there is a basis for cooperation and consensus.

Tang Yu waited in the office for a while, and there was news at the front desk, reporting to Tang Yu that Bryce Mosley had arrived at the Counterintelligence Department.

After a security scan at the door, the office gate automatically slid open, and Mosley walked in.

I saw him wearing a striped plaid shirt, tie neatly tied, cuffs rolled up, and a work card hanging on the right chest.

The most striking thing is the hacker advanced implants in the back of his head and cervical spine, which is obviously a senior deep-diving hacker.

Tang Yu motioned Mosley to sit down and talk.

Mosley, as a senior executive of the Internet monitoring agency, has little to do with Arasaka Company. Although he attaches great importance to Tang Yu's identity, he does not show any fear.

"Mr. Tang, hello, first time meeting, here is my business card."

He put a black paper card on the table, handed it to Tang Yu, and said loudly.

After speaking, he sat down on the chair calmly.

Tang Yu put away Mosley's business card and smiled.

"Didn't expect you to deliver business cards in this traditional way."

"After all, people are not at ease with people like us, mistakenly thinking that we can roast their brains into brains at any time, but obviously we will not do this, only the group of cyber hackers hiding in the dark corners of Taiping State would do such a thing." Mosley's tone was humorous and self-deprecating.

Hearing Mosley talking about roasting brains at will, Tang Yu couldn't help but think of his crazy actions.

Back then, in order to verify the ICE strength of the violent terrorist mobile team and the trauma team, he accidentally implanted the electronic intrusion protocol and wiped out a team of four.

"Then today we can just talk about this matter, about the subnet Poseidon of the Voodoo Gang in Taiping Prefecture."

Mosley's expression immediately became a little serious and dignified, which was also the main purpose of his visit to the Arasaka Counter-Intelligence Department.

He had previously led cooperation with Vice Minister Kate of the Counterintelligence Department, but the deep-dive hackers captured by Arasaka were not sent to the network for surveillance.

This time it was the acting minister Tang Yu who invited him to cooperate, but it was about the voodoo gang subnet Poseidon.

The same company and the same department approached the network monitoring to cooperate with different projects, which made Mosley aware of some abnormalities.

But the infighting in the Arasaka company has nothing to do with him. It would be great if he could really use Arasaka's power to take down the Voodoo Gang.

"I'd be happy to cooperate. I don't know what Mr. Tang has in mind?"

"To make you laugh, the voodoo gang is now entrenched in Taiping Prefecture, and network monitoring can neither find their actual dens nor track the network address of the subnet Poseidon."

"To defeat the voodoo gang and get the subnet Poseidon, there is basically no clue at the moment."

For Tang Yu, the problems faced by network surveillance are nothing at all.

The actual hiding place of the Voodoo Gang is at the Batty Hotel in the sea area. As long as they break through their den and find the subnet Poseidon server, the rest will naturally follow.

However, Tang Yu has no intention of telling Mosley about this information for the time being. This is a bargaining chip for Lucy to join the network monitoring.

"Since you can't find the voodoo gang, you can change the way. It's better to try to lure the snake out of the hole." Tang Yu said calmly, taking a sip of hot tea.

Led snakes out of their holes?

Mosley knew the Voodoo Gang all too well. Those guys were smarter than mice, and they couldn't be contacted without special channels.

In addition, in the area of ​​Taiping State, there are all Haitians who live in Haiti, and they all cover for them from the outside world. It is very difficult to serve them.

Tang Yu saw that Mosley couldn't understand, so he continued to mention something.

"It's not just the Voodoo Gang who are coveting the land in Taiping Prefecture. The Animal Gang has long wanted to reach out."

"The Empire State Building is unfinished because of the interruption of the capital chain, and the Voodoo Gang has long wanted to take it as their own."

"With these two prerequisites, it is not difficult to attract the Voodoo Gang."

Mosley quickly realized what Tang Yu meant.

The uncompleted building project of the Empire State Building is located in the center of Taiping State, surrounded by the sphere of influence of the Voodoo Gang.

Its geographical location is not only the heart of Taiping Prefecture, but also the heart of the Voodoo Gang, and its importance is self-evident.

More importantly, although the Empire State Building is unfinished, it has a high degree of completion and can be used as a base of operations after a little renovation.

The voodoo gang has long been salivating over this big vacancy.

And the Animal Gang, which has never had a specific base, has recently been frequently active in the southern part of Taiping Prefecture, coveting the huge building of the Empire State Building.

As long as the fundamental contradiction between the two gangs is well utilized, Internet monitoring can even take down the Voodoo Gang without a single soldier, which is just in line with Mosley's requirements.

Network surveillance agencies are different from large-scale companies. They implement a hacker agent system. The cost of training elite hackers is extremely high, and the cost of updating and maintaining advanced hacker prosthetics is also very high. They are more like an elite individual soldier system.

A powerful cyber hacker agent can be as powerful as thousands of troops in cyberspace, so the number of network monitoring hacker agents is not many.

For the actions against the voodoo gang, Mosley alone must be helpless.

This is why he agreed to come to see Tang Yu, just hoping to get the power of Arasaka.

But after Tang Yu's call, Mosley realized that there was a better plan for this matter.

As long as the conflict between the animal gang and the voodoo gang is provoked, then the network surveillance only needs to spend a little money and equipment to eat the subnet sea god, and make a lot of money in business.

Mosley agrees with this plan very much, but at this moment he wants to know the purpose behind Tang Yu even more, and gives him ideas for no reason, and it is impossible not to charge some interest.

"Mr. Tang, I agree with your plan, but I don't know what your demands are. After all, business comes and goes."

Speaking of this, Tang Yu also directly stated his intention: "After taking down the Voodoo Gang, I want the subnet Poseidon database."

Subnet Poseidon is his primary target, and this is the material he gave Saburo Arasaka.

Mosley pondered for a moment, the subnet Poseidon is indeed very important, although he doesn't know what Arasaka is going to do, but the Arasaka Company is at least more disciplined than the Voodoo Gang.

"I have no objection to this. After obtaining the subnet Poseidon, data can be shared, provided that Arasaka abides by the confidentiality and security agreement. It is limited to internal research within the company and cannot be used or disseminated."

He knows that Arasaka Corporation has also been carrying out the cyber space project, and the large amount of data on the subnet Poseidon will help them further research. Whether it is the old network outside the black wall or the establishment of an independent and hidden subnet, these behaviors are not conducive to the network. monitoring work.

However, companies do these things by mutual acquiescence. When the bottom line is followed, network surveillance will not stop it.

Tang Yu agreed to Mosley's request.

Mosley thought for a moment, and then asked: "But there is still a key issue right now. Even if the Animal Gang occupied the Empire State Building and attracted the Voodoo Gang to investigate. But in the huge cyberspace, it is still impossible to lock and track the witches." Poison gang deep dive hackers, and the subnet Poseidon address."

"Network monitoring is understaffed now, and it is difficult to deal with the voodoo gang at the network level."

Occupying the Empire State Building is an action at the physical level. At the level of cyberspace, cyber surveillance still has nothing to do with the voodoo gang.

Someone has to dive deep into cyberspace to catch the Voodoo Gang hackers in action.

As a network monitoring agent, it is very dangerous for Mosley to enter the cyberspace and face the deep-diving hackers of the Voodoo Gang alone. If he is not careful, he will be attacked and killed by the malware produced by the Voodoo Gang.

This is also the reason why Internet surveillance has been unable to attack the Voodoo gang head-on. Their elite hacker agents are one dead and one less.

The current situation is similar to that, members of the Voodoo Gang rely on the Sea God Data Fortress to build a huge and secret fortress, and they can attack and retreat in the cyberspace, almost wanton and unhindered.

Although network monitoring has a lot of funds and cutting-edge network equipment, due to the distribution of agents all over the world, Night City is relatively short of manpower, which is why the arrest of deep-dive hackers needs to be sent to network monitoring. Human resources are the most important thing for them. most precious.

It is almost impossible for Mosley to challenge the Sea God Fortress in cyberspace by himself, and he needs help.

Tang Yu said bluntly: "I recommend someone to you. With her here, it is not difficult to catch the rats of the voodoo gang."

Mosley's eyes lit up, and he never thought that Arasaka could have reinforcements, which could not be better for him.

"A deep dive hacker from Arasaka?"

Tang Yu nodded slightly and said: "Yes, the deep-diving hacker cultivated by Arasaka has just been arrested and returned to the company. There is no technical problem, but she has a request to leave Arasaka to join the network supervision."

Mosley understands that what Tang Yu recommends is Arasaka's fugitive deep-diving hacker. For those who have long been disloyal to Arasaka in this belief, it is of little value. Instead, it is better to send it out to play the remaining value.

Moreover, these absconding hackers generally have absolute hostility towards Arasaka, and will do everything possible to escape.

Mosley thought about it for a while and agreed directly.

"No problem, the premise is that her hacking ability can indeed meet the entry requirements and help us lock down the voodoo gang."

Tang Yu confidently made a decision and settled the matter.

The two discussed some cooperation details again and finalized the entire plan.

First, the network monitoring contacted the Animal Gang, and united them to enter the Empire State Building to build a temporary base.

As for the security of the temporary base, the Animal Gang is mainly responsible for it, and the Arasaka Counter-Intelligence Department can provide some support if necessary.

After the temporary base was built, the network monitors set up detectors to search the entire Taiping State network signal fluctuations centered on the Empire State Building, forcing the Voodoo Gang to take action.

After the voodoo gang started to operate in the cyberspace, the hackers sent by Tang Yu dived into it to find and lock the network activities of the voodoo gang members, and assist in network monitoring and use ICE to block.

Until the hiding place of the Voodoo Gang is finally determined, the location of the Poseidon server in the subnet is found, and the Animal Gang's people go to sweep it, and finally get the data of the Sea God's Fortress.

After the event is completed, take advantage of the situation to eliminate the Voodoo Gang, help the Animal Gang occupy the Empire State Building, gain a firm foothold in Taiping State, and curb the resurgence of the Voodoo Gang.

Compared with the secretive and difficult-to-control cyber hackers, it is obviously more beneficial for all parties to occupy Taiping State by the Animal Gang.

After the plan was agreed upon, Bryce Mosley left the office, and Tang Yu would be notified to start the action when the network monitoring side made arrangements.

Tang Yu finalized the entire action plan to eliminate the voodoo gang, and is still figuring it out carefully, checking for omissions and filling in the gaps.

The most important part of the whole plan is to get the Seagod data, this is the most important goal.

If the Voodoo Gang is broken in cyberspace, they may also take the initiative to destroy the server to prevent the Sea God Fortress data from falling into the hands of others.

Someone had to sneak into the Voodoo Gang's lair, the Batty Hotel in Seaview, and copy the Poseidon data from the server before the Voodoo Gang could react.

Tang Yu thought for a while, and felt that it was a good choice to arrange this way of life for V.

At first, he thought of Mann's team. After all, they have the technology and experience, and sufficient personnel, and they can organize effective resistance when encountering danger.

But Mann and the others were too deeply involved with Lucy, and it was easy to be noticed that they were tricky when they were involved in this matter. Instead, they didn't understand anything, and V, who had just returned from outside the city, was more suitable.

A rookie cyberpunk that doesn't attract much attention.

I don't know how V is doing recently, and Tang Yu has received a few transfers from her electronic account, and the amount is not bad.

But Gloria has never called, and it is likely that Mrs. V went to Lizi to pick up the job and did not report his name.

Tang Yu thinks it's quite interesting, and now she is bullying and bullying when she is not yet grown up.

If you get up in the future, you won't have a chance.

He remembered that Mr. V used to rely on his strength, but he often bullied Tang Yu, who was a hacker.

Tang Yu could only follow behind her, looking through the treasure chest outside.

Mr. V has the big head, he takes the small head, and does nothing about human affairs.

This time, I have to arrange a big job for Mrs. V. When I have time, I have to take her to Lao Wei's to replace the implants that need to be replaced, and then do upgrades and the like.

Think about this.

Tang Yu called Gloria.

Suddenly receiving a call from Tang Yu, Gloria seemed a little panicked, and quickly lifted the bed, next to Sasha who was sleeping soundly.

Since living with Gloria, Sasha has been going to bed later and later.

"Mr. Tang, good morning"

Tang Yu subconsciously glanced at the panoramic sunroof behind him, and found that it seemed to be getting late.

"Well, morning, is it convenient to answer the phone?"

Gloria Chick nodded as if pecking rice, and answered conveniently.

Tang Yu asked: "Did a mercenary who claimed to be V come to Lizi to pick up jobs recently?"

Gloria remembered almost immediately, the girl with a distinctive personality and equally distinctive dress.

I couldn't be more impressed by her bohemian style and fashionable and avant-garde aesthetics.

The key is to take a closer look, and you can find that her appearance and strength are simply too strong, with a bit of heroism in her pretty face, and she always talks about morality and affection, and she is quite a chivalrous woman.

Gloria felt a little strange that Tang Yu suddenly mentioned her. She was keenly aware that there might be some stories in it, but she didn't ask much.

"Well, there is a girl named V who has come to Lizi to take on several commissions, and can complete as required every time. She doesn't look like a novice."

Tang Yu nodded slightly, since Mrs. V has been to Lizi Bar, it's easy to handle.

However, to his surprise, Mrs. V didn't choose to settle the bill in cash, which meant that she really didn't want to renege on the debt, and planned to pay off the car loan and mortgage one after another.

Sure enough, it was the famous V.

Tang Yu said: "There is an entrustment arranged for her, and the remuneration will be increased appropriately. I will send you the specific entrustment content later."

"I understand, Mr. Tang." Gloria agreed earnestly.

After chatting about some bar work, Tang Yu was about to hang up the phone, but heard Gloria asking softly.

"Mr. Tang, are you free to visit Lizi recently?" Her tone seemed a little embarrassed.

Tang Yu bluntly refused.

On Lucy's side, he can't walk away for the time being, and he has to prevent Kate from giving him a cut first.

Gloria was a little disappointed, and just sighed softly, when Sasha came to the side, looking at her curiously.

"Is it Mr. Tang?"

"Uh, yes, but he said he didn't have time to come to Lizi for the time being."

"Then when will Sasha throw himself down?" Sasha stretched out his ten fingers and made a cat pounce.

Gloria: "."

After hanging up the phone.

Tang Yu got up and walked out of the minister's office, took the special elevator to the top floor of Arasaka Tower, and came to the exclusive office of Saburo Arasaka.

Sit in front of the office, log in to the company's internal system, and bring up Kate's personal job interface.

His eyes locked on the red button.
