Cyberpunk: Legends of Life

Chapter 218 Must Tell Him

cyberspace.

In a sea of ​​blue data, Lucy's consciousness data condensed and formed, and successfully merged with the network monitoring deep-diving team.

The person in charge of this rare group deep dive operation is Senior Agent Mosley.

In order to complete the deal with Arasaka, Mosley hurried back to Night City from the headquarters.

In the deep diving team, besides Mosley and Lucy, two agents from other regions were recruited as much as possible, plus the project supervisor Cheever, a total of five people, the lineup can be described as strong.

The main purpose of their operation this time is to assist and supervise the deep-diving agents of Arasaka Corporation to summon Alt Cunningham to negotiate outside the black wall of cyberspace.

The network monitoring team communicated with the Arasaka deep-diving agent team, and after a while, the two teams formally met in the cyberspace.

In order to ensure the smooth operation of the call, the network monitoring team is in a 'stealth' state.

Mosley transmitted the pre-determined reliable program channel to Arasaka Deep Dive agents, so that both parties can return the same way after climbing the black wall.

The blue digitized Mosley raised his palm and flicked it lightly, the scene around everyone changed, and they arrived in front of the black wall in an instant.

This is where the special channel for network monitoring is located, and it is also the most stable access channel for the entire black wall.

There are many black wall vulnerabilities, but most of the channels are unstable and will change and disappear with the flow of data.

When encountering drastic changes in data flow interference, you may just climb over the black wall, and you will not be able to find the way out when you look back.

Agent Arasaka took the first step with the summoning tool, which contained some data of Johnny's memory, and could tentatively attract Alt Cunningham from the vast old network.

Mosley implanted a hidden program for everyone, and this program will put a layer of camouflage on them.

Without accidents, they are no different from illusory data fragments, and can almost escape all scanning and identification.

Lucy felt that the situation might not be so simple. The reason why she did not refuse to participate in this operation was to find out the real purpose of the transaction.

She knows that Tang Yu attaches great importance to this matter, whether it is Johnny Silver Hand, Alt Cunningham, the old network running AI, or the cyberspace matrix, all of which have a lot to do with Tang Yu.

While unraveling these mysteries, it can also untie the knot in her heart that has troubled her for a long time.

Before setting off, Mosley gave his final instructions: "After entering the old network, the black wall will no longer be able to provide us with sufficient protection. Everything must be obeyed, and we are not allowed to escape without authorization in case of emergency."

In the data state, Lucy couldn't see everyone's expressions, but she could hear Mosley's fear of Otto Cunningham from Mosley's tone.

This soul AI, which is on the number one blacklist of Internet surveillance, probably already possesses unimaginable authority in the online world.

Everyone followed Mosley, filed through the black wall, and went to the point according to the predetermined plan.

Bypassing layers of data debris obstacles and electronic viruses, passing by a few dazed wandering AIs flying around, it didn't take long to arrive at the destination.

And the Arasaka team has already begun to arrange the summoning program. It only needs to release the memory data of Johnny Silver Hand, and the data-specific algorithm flow will attract things that pay attention to it.

Lucy followed the team, hiding in the broken data matrix around her, waiting for the arrival of Alter Cunningham.

With the release of Johnny Silverhand's memory data fragments, a series of video images about him were played.

"Ott, didn't you say you won't come tonight?"

"Ott, Ott! Can you step on a horse and stop turning your face faster than turning a book, and you just don't recognize me when you're done?"

"Arasaka must have kidnapped Otto for revenge on me."

Lucy is no stranger to this summoning ceremony. When she encountered the voodoo gang in cyberspace, it was Tang Yu who summoned Otto using the memory of Johnny Silver Hand in his mind.

She believed that Otto would definitely come, but he might not be as tolerant as last time.

Mosley and others were ready to meet Ott outside the black wall and dared not slack off in the slightest.

After a while.

A huge red data figure approached from far and near. The huge data group was like a mountain, overlooking the people below, full of oppression.

It's Otto Cunningham!

Even when she saw Otto for the second time, Lucy couldn't help being horrified, because this time Otto was obviously more 'strong' than the last time, Otto was still growing stronger on the old network, nonstop.

Lucy can't imagine how far Otto has 'learned', and even doubts whether the fragile black wall AI can catch up with Otto's evolution.

Perhaps, Otto has already been able to tear through the black wall, but she may be waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity to completely change the human world.

Agent Arasaka Deep Dive quickly expressed the purpose of the trip and asked Alt Cunningham how to destroy the soul killer program.

"Master Lai Xuan wants to make this deal with you, and we will try our best to meet your request."

Alt Cunningham looked down at Agent Arasaka, his broad and deep tone was as mysterious as the deep sea, echoing in the endless cyberspace.

"The body that binds consciousness is the greatest obstacle to human ignorance."

"I am no longer me, and you will usher in a new life."

Before Arasaka's deep-diving agents got the answers they wanted, they saw rays of light appearing from the void and directly penetrating their heads.

"Ahhhh!!!"

The Arasaka deep-diving agents hugged their heads and wailed, excruciatingly painful!

Soul Killer?
Mosley and others were also taken aback. They never expected that Otto Cunningham would not give Arasaka any chance at all.

He immediately ordered: "Mark Alter Cunningham! Retreat now!"

"What?!" Lucy was very surprised. She didn't understand the order from Mosley's mouth, and dared to mark Alt Cunningham at this time. What's the difference between courting death?
If the network surveillance can mark Otto Cunningham, it will be able to grasp her whereabouts, so as to curb her actions in a targeted manner.

Mosley's idea is good, but the result may not be satisfactory.

A fine beam of data shot out from Mosley's eyes, directly hit Otto Cunningham, and quickly melted into her body. This blatant behavior immediately attracted Otto's attention.

The hidden program of network monitoring is very high level, even Alt Cunningham, it is difficult to find their existence without carefully searching the surrounding area.

But now that the position is actively exposed, even if there is a hidden program on the body, it will be quickly screened out.

Before Lucy had time to flee, she felt that the data body was firmly fixed, and the flow of data in a large area around her was sluggish.

"Oops."

Mosley quickly countered and attacked Ott.

"Hurry up"

Before he finished speaking, the same light penetrated his head, and he was treated the same as Arasaka Deep Dive Agent.

Lucy's heart was beating wildly, and she didn't dare to look back at this scene. The four people behind her wailed miserably one after another.

She could only close her eyes and prepare to meet the same fate.

After everything subsides.

She felt a little strange, as if the light hadn't penetrated her mind.

Slowly opening her eyes, Lucy found herself inside the black wall and returned to the place where she started.

She quickly raised her head and looked outside the vertical fence of the black wall, and found Otto floating outside, overlooking quietly.

"Why." Lucy was surprised and confused, Ott would take the initiative to let himself go.

Alt Cunningham didn't say a word, stared at her for a moment and then drifted away.

Only Lucy, who was stunned, was left stunned for no reason.

"cough cough"

Inside the safe house, Lucy coughed violently and struggled to get up from the water tank covered with ice scum.

Regardless of the pain, she unplugged the deep dive interface on the back of her head, and must tell Tang Yu everything now.

Arasaka and the network monitoring agents were all burned to death, Otto Cunningham had no willingness to cooperate, and the most important thing was that Otto let him go.

Lucy can smell the conspiracy here, which is related to what Tang Yu cares most about.

She was covered in water, and she didn't care to wipe it. She stumbled and lay down on the sofa in the living room. The prosthetic eye circle called Tang Yu, but found that no one answered for a long time.

Lucy looked back, and when she was about to send a message to Tang Yu, she saw the broadcast content on the projection TV.

Suddenly the pupils narrowed.

"Tang Yu?!"

Cyan Bi Building.

V disconnected from Xiaopingtou, and just used Xiaopingtou to get rid of the hotel security hacker and unlock the restriction on the penthouse suite.

Now she can go directly to the roof of the building, directly to the destination, in Arasaka Yoshinobu's suite.

in instant messaging.

Jack: "Sister, how is the mission going? I've got my eye on Dexter. I can't imagine we're going to kill him."

V: "This is Night City. He's not a good guy anyway. Don said the fat black guy killed his best friend. Do you know who it is?"

Jack: "I don't know. He doesn't have many friends. After thinking about it, Lao Wei and I are living a good life. The gang in his company will not be mentioned. There is no good thing."

V: "I've got it done here, I'm ready to come up right away, keep in touch."

V picked up the scabbard from the guest room table, went out, and walked straight to the public elevator.

Just passing by two security guards, walking towards her guest room, heard the conversation.

"Received, the authority of room 1506 has been suspended, we will be there soon."

V felt that the situation was abnormal. Room 1506 was opened by Tang Yu for her. Why was it suddenly deactivated?

She immediately hurried to the elevator and pressed the lift button.

Suddenly, she heard the security guard who had just passed by at the other end of the hotel corridor turn back and shout loudly.

"Hello, please wait a moment! Your permission to stay in the hotel has been suspended! You need to cooperate with us."

V didn't care about 21, and rushed in as soon as the elevator door opened, leading directly to the top floor, Arasaka Yoshinobu's room.

After arriving in the room, she pulled out the long knife "jue", walked to the floor where the target goods were hidden, and stabbed it down.

The sharp blade was inserted into the gap in the floor mechanism, and then it was pried hard.

Under the action of strong external force, the hidden mechanism was severely damaged, and a few sparks burst out, raising a desk.

at this time.

Already hearing the hotel's large security team going upstairs, V didn't care about hacking and cracking the switch, and inserted the blade into the gap in the desk mechanism again, forcefully prying off the guard.

Seeing the target item, a black suitcase, she immediately picked it up.

In the communication, Jack said anxiously: "Sister, the situation seems to be wrong. It seems that Arasaka Yoshinobu is going back. The Arasaka team is rushing to the hotel. Be careful!"

V was holding the black box in one hand and the 'jue' in the other, seeing that the hotel security team had rushed into the suite and shot her quickly.

She knelt down to avoid the gunshots, and when the gunshots stopped for a while, she activated the Sean Westin without hesitation, and shot out as fast as lightning.

Swish swish!
Several security personnel were sliced.

V stopped staying too long, and went directly to the rooftop from the stairs in the living room. After breaking through the door with a long knife, he came to the roof of the hotel.

An Arasaka private luxury floating car is parked, the door is open, it was left by Tang Yu for her evacuation.

Just as V was about to step into the floating vehicle, a large amount of bullets sputtered around him.

Bang bang bang!
Bullets rained down.

Before V could dodge in time, he felt a sudden sharp pain in his right foot.

"Fuck"

She didn't care about her feet, so she could only hold the black box, tried her best to start the Sean Westin, and crashed into the floating vehicle, only to avoid the firepower.

The bullets crazily hit the roof of the floating car, creating dense craters.

"Fortunately, the riding horse is strong enough." Looking at the movement on the roof of the car, V couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The floating car door is automatically closed, the engine is started, and it takes off directly into the air.

V leaned against the edge of the electronic mirror screen to check the situation outside, only to see that an Arasaka armed floating vehicle was still launching an attack.

At this time, the intelligent voice prompt in the floating car said.

"Navigation to Watson's Little Chinatown"

"The destination is being revised, and we are about to set off to navigate to the Arasaka Tower headquarters in Kyoto"

Arasaka headquarters?

V ignored the pain, and cursed: "Made, who said to go to Arasaka headquarters? Stop for me! Hurry up!"

The floating car rose higher and higher, completely ignoring the bullets and artillery attacks.

Carrying the box, V went to the vehicle console with a knife and pestle, and saw the various color buttons, completely at a loss as to how to operate them.

Angrily, she raised the long knife and slashed down fiercely, destroying the console frantically.

The sharp blade cut open the shell of the countertop, exposing the electronic version of the circuit inside, braving sizzling electric sparks.

"Malfunction! Emergency malfunction! Hard landing imminent!"

V yelled: "What stupid floating car, go to Nima's headquarters in Arasaka, Kyoto, and destroy it for me!"

As the long knife was inserted into the table, the engine of the entire floating vehicle lost control and began to shake and fall towards the ground.

Seeing that the plan was successful, V quickly got back into the box, turned on the safety emergency mode, and fastened the seat belt at the same time.

Holding the safe tightly in her arms, she couldn't help sighing angrily.

"Ma De, if you don't die this time, I will never play with you in this life!"

The luxury floating vehicle was emitting thick black smoke as it dived towards the ground.

The earthquake-like bumps forced V to hold on to the box tightly.

boom.
The floating car fell and hit a secluded street. Following the powerful impact inertia, it slid forward while rubbing on the ground, knocking down a series of street lights and trash cans on the road, and finally blocked in front of the wall of an abandoned building.

The Arasaka armed floating vehicle that came in pursuit, hovered in the air, and found the target that fell to the ground.

Saburo Arasaka's exclusive floating car was severely damaged, but the shell frame remained largely intact.

When the Arasaka armed floating vehicle was just about to land, a missile fired from a high altitude with a tail flame and directly hit it.

Rumble!
The Arasaka armed floating vehicle was instantly destroyed, turning into a cloud of flame mushrooms and falling directly to the ground.

In the direction where the missile came from, a helicopter was rushing over.

The cabin door was open, and Rogge put down the gun barrel on his shoulder, looked at the luxury floating vehicle still on the ground, and said.

"I hope we didn't come too late, otherwise we won't be able to explain to Tang."
