Cyber ​​psychosis is my girlfriend

However, it is not surprising to lose to this kind of person.

What did he just say?Ye's Company?

He stood there for a long time, then looked into the distance again in astonishment.

It turns out that the accident that Ye's company suffered was not an accident? !

Once happened in Mexico, once happened in Night City, and two times before and after the destruction of one large and one small... It was like the wrath of the gods.

But Luo Qi had disappeared from Botaro's sight range.

He lost his sight again, as if his real body at that moment was only deliberately revealed to him.

The distraught Sato Botaro withdrew his team.

Come arrogantly, come back disheartened.

But no one in Arasaka objected to the failure of this operation.

Because what they are facing is the person who is called the "Man of Scourge" in the future Night City.

……

After a while.

Rocky and Felix sat opposite each other across a table.

Looking at the surrounding environment that was too "chaotic and noisy" for him, Felix couldn't help asking: "Are you sure there is no problem here?"

"You don't want a place where the walls have no ears, here it is."

Compared to Felix's uneasiness, Luo Qi felt like a fish in water, very free and easy, and he easily greeted the bartender who came over, "Hello, Claire."

"good evening."

Claire held the tray in her left hand, with a gentle smile on her face, "New friend?"

"Just barely."

Luo Qi nodded, "He gave me a few small gifts, I am very happy, so at least so far, he is still."

"You..." Felix accidentally choked on Luo Qi again.

God tm little gift!That's level 5 equipment!

However, Felix has begun to get used to Luo Qi's sudden and choking operation, and his blood pressure no longer goes up and down like a roller coaster.

Luo Qi treated him with kindness and a bit of vindictiveness——

Who told you to pretend like that.

But Felix was kind of the type to sit down and talk, so he didn't mind actually talking to him.

The light and shadow of the afterlife fell on their shoulders, which looked a bit bizarre.

Some old rock music was playing around repeatedly, Luo Qi picked up his own glass of orange juice, took a sip, and put it down contentedly, through the glass, he saw a few girls who were "opening the blind box" in the booth next door .

The "City Express" from the Internet monitoring brought over five sealed metal boxes.

The level 5 hacking equipment that countless cyberwalkers dream of lies quietly inside.

One for Sasha, one for Lucy and one for Qiwei, and Luo Qi has his own plan for the extra two.

[Don't worry, just say what you want, this is my private and safe cyberspace, and there will be no other people. 】

Felix was just about to remind Luo Qi whether they could start this hard-won conversation, when he flashed in front of his eyes and heard Luo Qi's voice sounding close at hand.

It's cyberspace.

【How did you drag me in without my consent? 】

Felix estimates that Luo Qi is at least a level 5 device. After all, no access to the network interaction is a feature of high-level equipment, but he still doesn't understand the principle that it can be operated without his consent.

If he can tamper with his authority at will, it means that he can come and go freely between ICE, which is impossible.

They are network surveillance, one of the top Internet companies in the world, there is no reason for the existence of such technology that can crush them far away.

[A little secret. 】

Luo Qi looked at him without opening his mouth, but his voice was clearly audible.

【You have enough secrets. 】

Felix said with quite a headache, but he still remembered his purpose of coming here——

Confront Luo Qi and ask him about what he did, even if there is no evidence.

[Okay, let's start with a simple question - are you responsible for all the recent big moves on the Internet? 】

【Who are you asking this for? 】

Luo Qi looked at him with a half-smile, which made Felix afraid to look directly at him.

【……Myself. ] After a short silence, Felix finally replied.

[Okay, then we still have to talk. 】 Luo Qi nodded with satisfaction.

【…】

Felix was speechless.

He was very sure that if he dared to say that he was asking the question on behalf of the entire network monitoring, Luo Qi would really dare to throw him out of here.

Moreover, five pieces of Level 5 equipment will be confiscated as if they did not exist.

[Ott's work was done by you. 】

If Felix was a little skeptical before, he is almost certain now.

[This is not a good tone for a question. 】

Luo Qi didn't deny it, [But you said this, I don't know anything. 】

really……

Although shocked by the result, Felix knew he had to accept it.

When I saw him for the first time, he was still an "ordinary passing citizen" driving a modified armored vehicle. At that time, the troops of the network surveillance and various companies fought against the troops of Ott's branch on the bad soil, and they were beaten badly. .

And now?

He's already been able to make Otto stay away from Night City.

[Why do you want to do this? 】

Felix couldn't help asking.

This is not only important information, but also the answer he wants to know with his personal curiosity.

[Because the black wall is about to fail, it's that simple. 】

Rocky took another sip of the orange juice, as casually as if saying "I'm thirsty so I want water."

【It's that simple?For this reason? ? 】

Felix couldn't believe his ears.

A person who can make the rogue AI give up continuing to attack Night City, but his motive is actually for the bright future of the city? !

how can that be! ?

[There's nothing to believe, what do I say, unless you really annoy me, then maybe I'll fool you a few times when I'm in a good mood. 】

Luo Qi didn't talk about the result of "bad mood", [I'm not the same as a company dog ​​in a suit, understand?You don’t have to pursue any economic or political interests to do something. You can do it because you want to do it. Is there a problem? 】

Yes, of course there is, and there is a big hair.

It seemed to Felix that Rocky didn't understand what this meant.

The ability to confront the wandering AI head-on in cyberspace...

Even if they monitor the Internet, this is too difficult.

The deep network computing resources and vast network landscape mastered by Fleeing AI make them almost impossible to be killed in cyberspace, and they can escape at any time if they cannot be beaten.

Although I don't understand what method Luo Qi used to make Ott succumb, this is definitely a breakthrough after the "data crash" incident.

【How do you do it?Can you talk about it in detail? 】

Felix felt that the answer he wanted was very close, perhaps right in front of his eyes.

Absolutely not let it go, let him go is the sinner of the network inspection.

[I beat her up that day, and then she became honest, and she has no technical content. ] Luo Qi spread his hands.

Beat, beat her up! ? ? ?

When Felix heard this description, his eyes almost went dark.

If doing it directly is useful, then why would they let the wandering AI roam around in the deep web?

The scary thing about them is that, no matter you win or lose, all your efforts and sacrifices may be meaningless in front of the extremely hard-to-travel AI, and in the end it will all be nothing.

Otherwise, why bother to go all the way across the ocean, come here to fight in person, and fight a mighty war against AI?

Felix's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his eyes showed excitement and anxiety.

[My guess was right, so Muramasa and Sea God Fortress were taken by you, right? 】

[I'm not me without you, don't talk nonsense. 】

Unexpectedly, however, Luo Qi changed his previous tone and flatly denied this almost convincing judgment.

【It's useless for you to deny it. Others may not know it, but I'm almost sure that you did everything. 】

Felix looked at him firmly, without opening his mouth, but his brain was working fast.

He was getting used to the lights of the afterlife, Luo Qi was right, this is indeed a place suitable for talking.

【You took the commission to transport the cargo compartment from the tsunami, and it was loaded with the AI ​​Muramasa they stole from Arasaka back then, but after the incident was over, no one got it.But I found traces of its activities on the Night City network... Some characteristics cannot be erased, especially your violent use. 】

Felix looked at Luo Qi who was silent, and continued to analyze.

[Just after that night, the number of local network attacks in Night City increased significantly, and without exception, they were mass attacks that could not be traced—large-scale power outages, massive data flow attacks, and There are unfamiliar erosion techniques and typical AI multi-threaded operation styles.Unless the roaming AI outside the black wall has already broken in, I can't think of any hackers in Night City who can use such a method. 】

His eyes gradually became aggressive, constantly oppressing Luo Qi's psychological defense through step-by-step analysis.

[I always thought that these were just coincidences. After all, Night City is so big, there are many strange things. 】

[But this incident convinced me that someone is secretly operating with the purpose of those network-related resources. 】

[A group of voodoo remnants were found dead inside the stronghold in the Haitian community. There were no suspicious clues left at the scene, only a video recording.There were footsteps in the corridor where no one passed, the door opened automatically when no one was standing, and the place where no one appeared caused the last riot of the voodoo gang... The system equipment at the scene was completely burned, but I am sure, that is The last part of Poseidon's Fortress that was not captured in the joint operation. 】

Looking at Luo Qi, Felix pressed his hands on the table.

【Don't admit it yet?You who took away Muramasa and Sea God Fortress? 】

"Clap clap clap..."

Facing his series of analysis, Luo Qi couldn't help applauding, [To be honest, you are one of the smartest people I met in Night City, especially when it comes to the network. 】

【Many years ago, my senior also told me the same thing. 】

Felix was unmoved by Luo Qi's praise, but it could be seen that he was very satisfied with his intuition, [But you also surprised me, AI Village and Sea God Fortress are not something everyone can control, Especially in your hands, it has performed far beyond my expectations. 】

[There should be an entire server behind you to support you, but the shallow network of Night City is a site for network monitoring, and it is impossible for ordinary people to quietly build such a large-scale cluster within our line of sight, so...you Which super company is it from? 】

【server? 】

Luo Qi laughed dumbfounded, 【Why do you think there must be those things? 】

[Without the support of the server, do you simply rely on the small chip in your head to perform calculations?Not to mention the Sea God Fortress, Muramasa's level of AI requires at least a high-spec supercomputer array to meet the needs.A server the size of a container can only be used as a coffin when it is dormant. Once it is in operation, the heat can be used to heat tens of thousands of households. 】

Felix had a "are you kidding me?" look.

[Moreover, Muramasa's design direction is the auxiliary calculation of professional engineering. Its strength lies in its strong learning ability and associative ability. It is not an AI designed for offense or defense at all. It is completely in two directions with the black wall. The fact that you can turn it into such a data deluge is, frankly, almost completely inconceivable to me. 】

A little chip in your head?supercomputer?Energy consumption for heating thousands of households?

what is that? ? ?

Luo Qi touched his head and was sure that after the village entered his body, there was no abnormality, no side effects such as increased body temperature or slow thinking, which is usually seen in long-term high-load use of network traveler equipment on the person.

Felix's words also reminded Luo Qi.

Muramasa is just an extremely large collection of data. Its operation needs to be based on certain real-world equipment. The performance of hardware determines the upper limit of Muramasa's operational efficiency.

Then the question comes-
