Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 167 God of AI
Taiping Prefecture.

Badi Grand Hotel in Sea View.

After V got out of the traffic station, he went straight all the way here.

This is the address of the entrustment she received from Gloria, and she will complete today's entrustment here later.

Sneak into the Batty Hotel and steal data from the Voodoo Gang server base.

However, the work of stealing data does not start now, but to wait for a signal, a chaotic melee.

Regarding the content of the entrustment, Gloria made it very clear that V would not act on his own initiative and run into the voodoo gang's lair alone to make trouble.

What she has to do now is to avoid attracting the attention of the surrounding voodoo gang spies, hide her whereabouts, and wait for the opportunity to sneak into the hotel.

The Batty Hotel is now completely occupied by Haitians, surrounded by faces of their own people. A stranger from other places haunts here, and it is easy to arouse suspicion.

In order to hide her whereabouts, she decided to find a snack bar near the hotel first, so that she would have the energy to work after filling her stomach.

When I came to a convenience store window, the boss inside was also a Haitian.

With a calm expression, V casually ordered a meal, sat on the street under a sun umbrella with the plate in his hand, and ate on his own.

For the commission received from Lizi Bar this time, V feels that the reward and the difficulty of the task are a bit unbalanced.

Gloria offered her a reward of [-] euros, which was more than the sum of the previous missions, but the content of the commission was to sneak into the Batty Hotel to steal server data.

And in order to cover up her actions, Gloria also specially emphasized that she must wait for the Voodoo Gang to fight with the Animal Gang to avoid being discovered.

V doesn't quite know what kind of grievances there are between these two gangs, but they are definitely not dealt with in Taiping Prefecture, and he just needs to follow Gloria's prompts later.

Think about this.

V can't help but also sigh, Lizi's proprietress is not only beautiful and kind, but also so generous in her actions, no wonder she can gain a firm foothold in the middleman industry so quickly.

cyberspace.

In this blue digital ocean world, there are endless data streams and symbol changes, forming a vast program network world.

The darkness in front of Lucy's eyes was gradually dispelled by the blue ocean of data, and the entire consciousness body was condensed and visualized. Now she looks like a digital elf.

She hadn't been to this cyberspace world for a long time, facing the familiar ocean of data, she couldn't help but take a deep breath, even though she didn't need to breathe here at all.

With the stabilization of the neural consciousness data, Lucy can carry out normal operations in cyberspace.

But she still needs to wait for some hints, hints from network monitoring.

soon.

A set of nihilistic light blue coat appeared around Lucy, which was a hidden program prepared for her by network surveillance, which minimized the possibility of being discovered by the voodoo gang, and was able to resist a certain degree of malicious program intrusion.

She gently raised her hand, and the light blue set of nothingness flew straight towards her, covering her whole body, and the entire data conscious body faded a lot, blending with the surrounding blue ocean.

After loading the stealth protection program, Lucy can start to act. In this endless data matrix world, locate the range provided by the network surveillance and search for traces of members of the Voodoo Gang.

soon.

A spot of light appeared in front of Lucy's eyes, flickering like a star. It was the network signal point set up by network surveillance in the Empire State Building.

She raised her slender right hand and held it towards the flickering light point. The data world around her was changing like stars and stars, as if she was entering a data flow tunnel and advancing rapidly.

It didn't take long.

Lucy arrived around the signal point. This cyberspace matrix was constructed by many block programs.

It looks like entering a world full of pillars, where there is no distinction between heaven and earth, and the measurement of dimensions is lost, and it is all based on consciousness linking to read, run, invade programs, and so on.

Lucy casually broke through a pillar, hid in it, merged with the pillar, disguised as a running program, and then waited for an opportunity to observe subtle changes in the surrounding situation and data flow.

The reason why she can easily hide in the fixed program is because the ICE for network monitoring is loaded. Otherwise, when she tries to break through the walls of these programs, the program will be confused, and she will be besieged by the firewall.

If the Voodoo Gang wants to find the source of the signal in this program matrix, it is much more difficult to hide than Lucy, and this is the home field of network surveillance.

Lucy carefully pays attention to the surrounding situation, and she must be cautious in any actions in the cyberspace, otherwise she will be invaded by the malicious program released by the other party, and she will probably explain it here.

After confirming that there were no traces anywhere, Lucy began to screen matrix areas one by one, trying to find some clues.

High-intensity work puts her body in a state of high-temperature load, especially the brain nerves, so the principle of deep diving is to do as little as possible, and as fast as possible.

She is like a jumping data elf, silently going back and forth between the solid programs, screening the matrix programs one by one.

Lucy was in a hurry, and she hadn't found anything until now.

Either the hackers of the Voodoo Gang haven't gotten close to the signal source, or their methods are too superb, and they have disguised themselves too well.

This is not only a technical contest, but also a time contest.

The time left for the Voodoo Gang is also short. If they can't break through the signal source as soon as possible and invade and disrupt the network monitoring base server, their home server will be detected by network signal fluctuations sooner or later.

At that time, what awaits them is a flat push by force, not a war in cyberspace.

On the Internet, the voodoo gang has a natural advantage.

In the material world, the Voodoo Gang is certainly no match for the Animal Gang.

at last.

After Lucy searched most of the area, there were only a few matrixes left, which were the places with the strictest network monitoring firewalls.

No matter who wants to invade from there, the difficulty is several times that of other places.

suddenly.

Lucy, who was hiding in the solid program, found some clues.

She saw some small worm-like programs that were drilling into some solid programs, and hid in them without anyone noticing.

However, these solid programs did not attract the attention of the firewall, indicating that they are not destructive viruses.

It's more like a sojourn program, hiding in the program body, lurking and waiting for an opportunity.

Worm.

What is the Voodoo Gang trying to do?
Could it be that they want to complete all their efforts in one battle, invading and burning down the network monitoring server in one go?

The area where the firewall is tighter, the number of solid programs is also more, and the number of worms that can be parasitic is larger.

At that time.

Once the voodoo gang is in trouble, most of the solid-state programs for network monitoring will be paralyzed, causing hardware failures.

They gathered their forces again, broke through the firewall from here, resisted the counterattack of network monitoring ICE, and directly destroyed the signal source.

Then the plan to persecute the voodoo gang will be difficult to realize.

Lucy realized that the situation was not good, stopped her body, hid in a safe place, and continued to wait, waiting for the black hand behind the scenes to show up, and then called the network to monitor ICE's attack.

Diving indoors.

Tang Yu observed various elements on the electronic display to make sure that Lucy was safe.

The deep-dive moment is the most vulnerable and dangerous time for a cyber hacker, which is equivalent to unreservedly exposing one's own weaknesses without knowing what is happening outside.

Whether it is life or death depends entirely on the thoughts of those who are waiting outside.

Therefore, even if Tang Yu became a top hacker, he seldom made deep dives.

He saw Lucy in the water tank, her breathing was fairly steady, and wisps of hot air exhaled from the tip of her nose, indicating that she hadn't experienced abnormalities in the cyberspace.

Hackers deep in the cyberspace lack awareness of the outside world, but they will still manifest themselves physically after being attacked, ranging from pain all over the body to smoke from the brain in severe cases.

Mosley, the network monitoring agent in the control room, sent a message: "She is in the cyberspace and has arrived at the signal source. Everything is normal now."

Tang Yu estimated that Lucy should not be in danger yet, so he asked, "Have you monitored any movements of the Voodoo Gang?"

Mosley looked at the signal fluctuation monitoring display, which did not show any abnormalities. The voodoo gang hid their network activities very deeply.

However, through some special techniques, he knew that the Voodoo gang had been dispatched, but it was temporarily impossible to track them accurately. Lucy needed to search further in the cyberspace, and after finding the target, he would launch ICE to monitor the network in a targeted manner.

"nothing now."

"The Voodoo gang is backed by the Sea God system, and it is a completely independent and concealed sub-network. It usually implements 'retreat while moving' hacking operations, without leaving any traces."

"Either our hackers can catch it in advance, or wait for the voodoo gang to launch an attack, and then we will find a way to counter it."

The initiative of the former is in the hands of network surveillance, while the initiative of the latter is in the hands of the voodoo gang.

Now there are many voodoo gang informants around the Empire State Building, waiting for an opportunity to inquire about intelligence outside, and trying to block the network monitoring server through jammers, all of which obviously failed.

Mosley continued: "Voodoo gangs are not good. If we fail to use ICE to trap them in the first place, our deep-diving hackers will encounter a great threat."

"Once you have a clue, run ICE and you can get away immediately."

"If the deep dive still has no results after a while, we can slow down and try other methods."

The method Mosley refers to is to attack by force, trying to arrest one or two voodoo gang guys, and figure out the voodoo gang hiding place from their minds.

Tang Yu also agreed with Mosley's statement.

The hacker's deep dive time should not be too long, and the voodoo gang is already a certain death, so there is no need for Lucy to take more risks in it.

Tang Yu looked at the electronic screen, but still did not receive Lucy's request to leave the cyberspace, which meant that she was still acting.

suddenly.

Lucy frowned slightly, as if she felt a little uncomfortable, and her brain nerves were overloaded, causing fine cold sweat to ooze from her forehead.

Even if soaked in cold water in an ice tank, it still cannot completely dissipate heat.

Tang Yu quickly squatted by the water tank to check Lucy's situation. Judging from her micro expression, it was obvious that she had been attacked by an unknown person.

He moved immediately, supporting Lucy's slender neck with one hand, and picked up her wrist from the ice water with the other hand, activated the talent of 'weak electric control energy', and a trace of electric arc was introduced along the biological data line on her wrist.

Tang Yu closed his eyes, trying to control the data flow generated in his mind, import it into Lucy's storage core, and transmit it to the cyberspace.

When encountering such an emergency, one must either rely on the deep dive hacker's own ability and technology to get out, or provide certain technical support from the outside world, just like Qiwei did during the last deep dive.

But the trouble Lucy encountered was obviously different from that of Qiwei's deep dive. When attacked by the voodoo gang, it was very likely that her brain would be burnt out in a second, and there was no time to maneuver.

So Tang Yu can only try to give it a go, believing that the AI ​​god in the cyberspace will help.

In cyberspace.

Lucy finally waited until the data flow neural consciousness of several members of the Voodoo Gang appeared, and decisively ran the ICE provided by the network monitoring to help lock the hostile target.

The red codes are locked towards the members of the Voodoo Gang, binding the members of the Voodoo Gang like data chains.

Just when she successfully launched an attack and was about to get out, an unknown program immediately imprisoned her, pulled her out of the solid program, and the hidden program was cracked.

Lucy is ambushed by Voodoo gang hackers.

soon.

There are several voodoo gang deep-diving hackers who are hiding very deep. They appeared from the fragments of nihilistic data. The leader can be seen from the figure to be a woman.

The other party glanced at Lucy's conscious body at an extremely fast speed, and his gaze passed through every digital cell in her body like an electric current.

"You are not the one who monitors the Internet."

Lucy couldn't break free and didn't make any answer.

But in cyberspace, there are no secrets that can be kept secret. This is a digital world, and even the secret thoughts in the heart will become digital codes.

The other party's hacking techniques are extremely high, almost cleverly bypassing Lucy's personal ICE, and reading the deepest memory in her conscious body.

The reason for bypassing rather than disintegrating ICE is to prevent the data flow of the target consciousness body from collapsing and becoming data fragments, which will be very difficult to retrieve.

In cyberspace, there is no difference between killing the data of the consciousness body and killing the person himself.

"So you're Arasaka's absconding hacker."

Lucy could feel the memory data being recalled little by little and released uncontrollably.

She tried her best to resist being read by the other party for more information, because there is a memory about Tang Yu's ability behind it, and once it is leaked, it will cause endless troubles.

Sudden.

Lucy noticed a new program, trying to enter the body, and heard Tang Yu's words in her mind again.

"I will use the path you already have to teleport you to the black wall, where there are foreign aids that can save you."

Support beyond the black wall?
Lucy didn't hesitate, and immediately let go of her resistance to this program, allowing it to run automatically in her body.

Suddenly.

As if teleporting, Lucy came to a red and blue vertical striped fence, opposite the fence was endless darkness.

She knew this place all too well, the red striped fence was the black wall separating the old net.

The young Lucy used to work in the Arasaka Company, and her task was to climb beyond the black wall and dig out information and data.

So I always keep the path to reach the black wall and the method to climb over the black wall in my mind.

With the help of Tang Yu, she reached the edge of the black wall, and the hackers of the voodoo gang followed closely, and the release program still locked her firmly.

suddenly.

A piece of data of unknown origin suddenly appeared in Lucy's memory database, and scenes and images flashed one after another.

Lucy couldn't help being stunned for a while.

Where do these pop-up memories come from?

And it's all about a silver-armed man who always wears dark glasses and loves to swear.

"It's just two people who are willing to open their legs to do it for you, it's too miserable"

"Can you please! Is it really that difficult? Please, smoke one for me!"

"Don't be kidding. I don't have the time to be a guitar master. I'm busy trying to change the life of this world."

"Ott, why is your temper endless?"

"Otto, please, wake up, shit, what the hell have you done!"

This piece of memory data that suddenly gushed out of Lucy's memory was immediately captured by the hackers of the Voodoo Gang. After reading the contents, it seemed unbelievable.

"How do you have these memories?!"

The voice just fell.

I saw that the cyberspace around me was suddenly stagnant, and all the data flow seemed to be frozen and stagnant, motionless.

In this digital dimension, time seems to be stripped away and everything comes to a standstill.

Followed by.

The surrounding environment of cyberspace has undergone drastic changes.

A tall giant data flow figure appeared out of thin air, standing outside the black wall like a red giant.

"Johnny."

"You have Johnny's mark on you."

The red giant seemed to be looking at Lucy, and made an ethereal and ethereal sound through the black wall.

The "Alt Cunningham" voodoo gang hackers were equally astonished when they saw the sudden arrival of the red giant, and they were not mentally prepared for what happened just now.

She didn't know how Lucy teleported to the black wall, and used her memory to summon Alt Cunningham from outside the black wall to appear.

Obviously.

Otto is outside the black wall, but his sensing ability and technical means have already penetrated into the black wall.

To her, this black wall is not an impenetrable wall.

I am afraid that in Ott's view, it is temporarily impossible to disintegrate the black wall, but it is easy to quietly implant some programs into the black wall.

But before the hackers of the Voodoo Gang could say anything, several blue streams of data streamed down from the sky, hitting the top of their foreheads.

The hackers of the Voodoo Gang knelt down in pain, clutching their foreheads and wailing non-stop. The data of the consciousness body disappeared in the cyberspace in an instant, and the program blockade on Lucy was released.

"Who made you come here?" Ott asked bluntly after solving the voodoo gang hackers.

Before Lucy could reply, a voice appeared in her mind again, asking her to repeat it to the red giant one by one.

"He asked me to tell you that Johnny was used as a soul killer by the Arasaka people, and the soul imprint was locked in the shrine."

Ultra ethereal voice said slowly: "I recognized Johnny's imprinted code"

She already knew the result.

Lucy tried her best to control her emotions and continued to spread the word: "It was Johnny who broke into Arasaka Tower and rescued you from Arasaka's subnet."

Ott: "I really don't want to be trapped in the Arasaka Mikoshi. If your purpose is to clean up the voodoo gang hackers, it's done now."

When Lucy heard Tang Yu's words in her mind, her face tightened suddenly, and she hesitated whether to say it or not.

"He asked me to bring you a message for Johnny."

Otto: "Tell me."

Lucy said with some difficulty: "Johnny said you are very rich, he is also a digital imprint now, and asked if you can continue the relationship."

Ott: "It's impossible, I'm not who I used to be, let's go."

With a big wave of the red giant's hand, Lucy returned to her original place and appeared near the source of the network monitoring signal.

Seeing that the remaining voodoo gang hackers had been frozen by the network monitoring ICE, she directly started the withdrawal procedure.

In the deep dive room.

"Cough! Cough"

Lucy took a deep breath, coughed twice, and swayed involuntarily.

Opening her eyes in a daze, she found that Tang Yu was standing next to her, trying to get up and sit up, but due to a long time of deep diving, she was too weak to use her strength.

Seeing that she had woken up, Tang Yu unplugged the connector on the back of her head, helped her stand up from the water tank, and the ice water slid down the delicate skin.

A clean blanket was handed over, and Lucy put it on her back, and thanked her softly.

"thanks."

Lucy knew that in the cyberspace just now, it was Tang Yu who rescued her. Without his help, she would probably sleep forever in the cyberspace like the voodoo gang hackers.

Tang Yu said bluntly: "You're welcome, just leave the rest to me."

He saw that Lucy had safely completed the deep dive mission, and the only thing left was to attack the voodoo gang's lair.

Tang Yu turned and went out to talk to Mosley about follow-up actions.

Lucy watched his leaving figure, standing in the water tank in a daze.

The memory that Tang Yu transmitted to her is still in her mind at the moment. This is the first time she knows Tang Yu's memory.

The uncle named Johnny, who likes to wear sunglasses, begs to smoke, and plays the guitar, should be the friend Tang Yu mentioned before.

Lucy really couldn't imagine how Uncle Rock and the company's top management could play together.

But judging from the content of the memory, the two of them seem to be getting along pretty well.

Recalling this wonderful memory, she couldn't help but laugh.
