in a dim room.

Tanaka Zhizhen, who has been beaten into a pig's head, is being tied up and fixed on a stretcher.

At this time, Luo Qi was holding a new PDA with satellite communication and commanding the overall situation.

Looking at the military bulletproof PDA with a hard case in his hand, which is strong enough to withstand conventional medium-caliber rifle bullets, Luo Qi sighed, wishing to turn around and kick Jimmy Kurosaki who was hanging outside again.

He has been targeted many times by various EMPs.

But every time without exception, either his PDA or his bluetooth headset was burned.

It was not the joint name of Bo Bo Chicken that was used at a loss, otherwise he would die of heartache.

In the past, the commercial cracking model was used for user-friendly experience, but now switching to the ancient military model is sacrificing part of the experience, in exchange for the protection that will not be burned out every day.

Like high-spec military-grade prosthetics, these devices have a strong anti-EMP design, and not any cat or dog can destroy them.

But now, he is leading a group of hackers who are as big as their brains can be seen by network surveillance, to brain-infiltrate Arasaka's high-level executives.

A thick cable was pulled in from the outside.

Jimmy Kurosaki's old nest can be said to be a model of disrepair. The network simply cannot withstand the simultaneous use of multiple hackers, so he had to temporarily add a dedicated channel.

And tonight, not many hackers participated in this deep dive operation.

T-Bug.

Not only did she have a life-threatening friendship, but she was able to let go of her defenses and tell Luo Qi where she was. She took her manual DIY-built "fortress gun" offensive server and connected it to today's homework.

Little demon.

The former wild genius hacker who was kidnapped by Luo Qi, the first-level wanted criminal in network surveillance, now works for the shadow force and Genting's intelligence network.

Qiwei.

The new hacker in Mann's team, the veteran of Night City, is unknown in detail, but has a lot of experience.

Sasha.

The former hacker of Mann's team, temporarily withdrawn from daily activities due to injuries, is currently recovering from injuries in the medical center, and is good at offense.

Even the wounded were brought here. Although the injury was stable, it was enough to show that Luo Qi was very concerned about what happened tonight.

In fact, if he had to, he still had two trump cards.

The Knicks under Rogge, and Paul of the Terrorist Mobile Team.

The former needs to pay a large amount of remuneration, which is nothing to Luo Qi, but it is a terrible expense to Mann and others.

The military technology side didn't give much, just enough to make them take risks, but if they want to add people, it's still the top boss in this industry, it's not enough.

The latter doesn't need a penny, but Paul is still at the headquarters after all.

Public is public, private is private.

If you are messing with the road, or you are going back and forth between black and white, if you can't figure out the boundaries, rules and bottom line, you will have problems sooner or later.

Even if there are no external problems, sooner or later one's mentality will become unbalanced.

Luo Qi will not abuse his power unless it is a life-threatening or major event.

Because the strength in his hands has completely exceeded the standard.

"Is that what you're doing and watching?"

Luo Qi asked, looking at Lucy with her arms folded, who looked like "it's nothing to do with herself".

"I'm a substitute."

Lucy said naturally.

That's where she fits on Mann's team.

It was like this before Sasha came, and it was like this after Qiwei came.

"If I didn't know your real level, I would have let you fool me."

Rocky shook his head and smiled.

Low risk, low return, this is a very good deal for Lucy.

Her heart is not here, this is not a home, but a refuge from Arasaka for the time being.

"You don't understand what Arasaka means."

Lucy's attitude is even more determined than Luo Qi.

"They are strong, but not as strong as you think."

Rocky said helplessly.

It is undeniable that Arasaka's hacker team is all elite and large in scale.

But they are not invincible.

Otherwise, why have I never seen them take advantage of the application for military technology?

Someone was in the company, and Luo Qi knew it all too well.

Whether it is military technology or Arasaka, hacker teams are essentially knives in their hands, tools, and consumables like soldiers and officers.

It is not necessarily necessary to gain an advantage in a certain link, but it must not be held back because of this.

Arms races and fierce wars will escalate.

Conflicts between companies without gunpowder and with gunpowder are constantly escalating.

As for companies that cannot adapt to this continuous iteration, they have been buried in the dust of history.

Rocky approached Meredith Stott and asked about Faraday.

But she is the Director of Government Department Relations, and not from the Control Department or the NUSA Intelligence Bureau. She just knows that their company has such a lackey in Night City, and she doesn't know much about it.

Not surprising though.

A behemoth like military technology has far exceeded the scale of many countries, and it is normal for different parts to be unfamiliar with each other.

But she did find a little bit of useful information.

That is, Faraday did not cooperate with military technology in the past, but did it alone.

In other words, he was actually recruited by the "private recruitment".

But this is all the old calendar.

Roach kept Mann from contacting Faraday.

Because for him, Faraday is not a middleman, but a company dog.

From this standpoint, Faraday does not have the "reliability" necessary for the identity of an intermediary, so how can we talk about sharing information?

If possible, Luo Qi wanted to kick Faraday away and contact Military Technology directly.

The company is bad, but purely bad.

On the contrary, the spokesperson caught in the middle is capricious and the most cunning.

Moreover.

He Faraday is Mann's middleman, not Luo Qi's middleman, can he be controlled?

Luo Qi respects the career and responsibilities of intermediaries, but that is limited, partial, and trustworthy intermediaries.

This kind of company lackey who hangs around in Pacific Ocean and then runs to Santo Domingo to set up a den is not as straightforward as someone who wears a suit seriously.

"Or, do you plan to throw you to the wandering AI, maybe they will be very interested in people like you?"

Luo Qi looked at Lucy and said.

"Are you threatening me?"

Lucy frowned subconsciously, but she quickly realized that Luo Qi had no reason to target her.

"Well, Arasaka's technology, those wandering AIs will definitely not refuse."

Regarding the wandering AI, Luo Qi felt that there was no difficulty in getting along with them.

Either with a pure mentality, fighting against humans and other competing AIs, there is no possibility of peace, because their internal settings or decisions are like this.

Or it is constantly evolving, constantly upgrading by expanding its size.

Like Ott Cunningham.

For her, or it, everything is just a transaction.

She doesn't choose whom to target until it makes sense and is necessary.

And she doesn't get angry, she doesn't provoke, she doesn't blame anyone.

Luo Qi made it clear that she didn't want to cooperate because the risks were high, and she expressed her understanding.

Luo Qi generously took out the secret and asked to exchange with her, and she also expressed her willingness.

From this point of view, wandering AI is much easier to get along with than humans.

If it was replaced by those big companies, there would be no leftovers for people to eat in minutes.

But there is still a hidden danger in the wandering AI, which is why Luo Qi did not completely stand on the same front with them——

If a person can get a lot of resources, in today's world, the final form of development will be a capital giant like Arasaka and military technology.

And for an AI that is not even a human being, it is undoubtedly not from the general public that it has obtained such resources.

Luo Qi has no prejudice against AI, but their nature and composition are doomed that they will not do too many positive things for the survival of the human species.

Human civilization has been regressed and destroyed, and time can still be used to heal and recover.

But if AI crowds out the living space of human beings, it will be an endless war.

Luo Qi doesn't think that he alone can decide the future direction of the world, but everyone has to make choices for the future, and then become the one who is affected by the future created by countless choices.

This is the inevitable connection between the individual and the times.

Contacting the wandering AI is like undergoing a spiritual and cognitive baptism.

It’s not that they have magical powers, but it’s hard for any normal human being to feel nothing after communicating with this “another form of consciousness”.

In comparison, Arasaka's hacker looks very ordinary.

dull.

Rocky shook his head and sighed.

Lucy's situation, it's similar to PTSD, so his tolerance for it is very high, very high.

Because the same goes for Motoko and Melissa.

Both of them grew up in normal, or at least not particularly outrageous, circumstances.

Childhood is even intact and stable.

But Lucy is different. She grew up in Arasaka's facilities since she was a child. She has never been in contact with the normal world, has no normal friends, no normal cognition, and no normal communication and communication.

Luo Qi felt very tired talking to her.

Suspicion, wariness, anxiety, worry, depression...

It would be too painful to live like this.

It's no wonder that she is interested in the planet floating in the sky and attracting each other with the earth.

It's not just an interest, but a yearning for a better new life, or in other words, the spiritual sustenance and good wishes to live in this world.

No matter how deformed people live, they always seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, pursue beauty and stay away from ugliness.

This is not difficult to understand.

Luo Qi turned his head, looked at David who was "paddling" the whole way, and slapped him on the head bitterly.

"Ouch!"

David hugged his head, not understanding why Luo Qi talked to Lucy and beat himself when it was over.

Hey, these two little lovers.

A wooden head and a stone head, either stubborn or stunned, don't know how to come together.

Luo Qi raised his head and let out a sigh that did not belong to this age.
