Start with Mechanical Hunter

Cyberspace covers this planet. At the level of the companies in the city that never sleeps, the best they can do is isolate the external network, making it impossible for people to circumvent the wall.

But if the other party can penetrate deep into the bottom network layer, then Unreal Company has no choice, because only the Mother City has this power to modify the underlying structure of cyberspace.

But then again, there are not many people who can enter the bottom network layer, and ordinary hackers cannot do this. The minimum requirement is Hiro's level, or a powerful virus, or even a bug.

For example, Gox, or black code, which is the "monitor black screen" bug.

At this time, at a node on the underlying network, Black Code frowned and told the senior engineer everything that happened when he left.

In order to liberate Alyssa, the mother of data, Gaux and Black Code followed Gao Gong's vision and continuously attacked the servers of large companies, releasing the source code of the database, making it free and open source, so that the 'search engine' can have more searches data.

During this period, we naturally encountered various risks.

But as a collection of viruses, Gox is like an invincible Xiaoqiang. The stronger the enemy, the faster she evolves.

According to the description of the black code, Gaux has almost reached the threshold of a super virus.

Super viruses, which are level 60 viruses, are also called world viruses.

Once this virus is fully released, the damage range will not just be a mechanical city or a continent.

Rather, it is a planet-wide virtual disaster.

But just a few days ago, Gox suddenly disappeared.

Then in just one night, Gox returned.

At that time, Black Code didn't take it seriously, thinking that the eldest sister was causing trouble somewhere else.

Then, Gox really disappeared.

"Did she say anything to you before she left?" Gao Gong asked with a frown.

According to time, the last time Gokes disappeared was the time when Fifth Generation Miller used the virtual realm to forcibly merge Gokes and Gao Yuanyuan.

Then Gao Yuanyuan was forcibly upgraded by him.

Is a non-Gox also affected by this?

Black Code thought for a while and said: "The eldest sister was very quiet that day. As you know, the eldest sister is either killing people or on the way to kill people every day. It is difficult to have a real quiet time. That day, she was enough I sat there for most of the day."

"Maybe my aunt is here." Gao Gong complained.

"Then she disappeared, leaving no news, no trace, just there!"

Black Code pointed to a large rock not far away. From this angle, you can overlook the entire sea of ​​data.

The sea is placed above the sky, and numbers, symbols, and codes are constantly changing. There are no colors visible, only endless virtual changes.

"Are you enlightened?"

The senior engineer said to himself.

Data life can evolve into information life.

Data viruses can naturally evolve into information viruses.

The process in between is ‘enlightenment’.

It's just that Gao Yuanyuan was successfully promoted because there was a sixth-level civilized grandfather who was guiding her from behind, so everything went smoothly.

Is it a coincidence that Gaux realized the truth at this time, or has the other party found the mother of data?

The senior engineer thought for a while and said:

"She is unlikely to be in danger. If everything goes well, she can even break through to a higher level. You have been following Alyssa for so long, so you must have heard of the name super virus."

Black Code nodded. He had heard of this thing, and it was an existence that even big data monsters found dangerous.

"Don't worry, the next time we meet, her appearance will surprise you. She might even wear a skirt."

Senior Engineer and Black Code imagined what Gaux would look like in a skirt, and shuddered at the same time.

She most likely pulled out two machine guns from under her skirt.

The senior engineer smiled and looked at the other person:

"I haven't seen you for a few days, and you feel a lot more energetic."

The original Black Code had the standard image of a big black guy, silly and dull, but now he looks a bit like Black Louis Koo, handsome and energetic.

"I followed my eldest sister and swallowed a lot of things behind her head, and I grew up like this without even realizing it."

"Well, once your skin turns completely white, you can tell people that I look ordinary."

Looking at the appearance of the prototype, Black Code nodded with deep approval.

"It may take some time for your eldest sister to come back. What are your plans now? If you don't have any plans, why don't you stay with me for a while?"

Black Code agreed without hesitation. From the other party, he might be able to learn the secret to becoming handsome.

"Then let's go. I just want to investigate something. Maybe you can help me."

The next moment, the scene suddenly turned upside down. The two jumped from the bottom frame, passed through the data link layer, network layer, transport layer, and reorganization layer, and jumped into the sea of ​​data.

That huge world made up of countless neural circuits.

In the city that never sleeps, in the lower middle city area, the so-called enterprise zone, in a 'bankruptcy and liquidation' building.

The two prosthetic security guards were chatting away, but they didn't notice.

The entire building and all the screens went dark.

…

On the park bench, Hitomi and Collider sat with serious expressions.

Hitomi looked serious, thinking about something.

Collider also had a serious look on his face, carefully reading the secret book on keeping a rich woman in his hand.

"Hey, it's rare to see you two so quiet."

Along with Chappie's voice, three drunken loli voices sounded.

"Quiet, everyone is so quiet."

"Quiet, okay?"

"Very good, Captain Suzi likes silence."

"Did you drink for the Hidden Guards?" Hitomi said incredulously, aren't you afraid that Captain Motoko will kill you if he finds out?

"No, beer-flavored gasoline."

Chappie shrugged and said.

"It's so rare to come out. Give the children something good to eat. Anyway, it can be reimbursed. Aren't you happy?"

"happy!"

"Happy, Hiccup!"

"I can still drink!!"

With three loud sounds, three invisible behemoths crashed to the ground, sending smoke and dust everywhere.

Hitomi pressed her forehead, feeling pain in her temples.

"Tell me, how is your investigation going?"

Hitomi took a deep breath and recounted the meeting with Gao Gong, focusing on biological transformation.

"The cause of Minister Aramaki's death is probably not hacking, but biological means."

"This makes sense. Apart from top hackers, the only ones who can eat up all the death information are bio-modifiers."

Chappie rubbed his eye circles, "But we are not professionals in biomodification. How about we notify the headquarters and ask them to send some professionals over?"

Hitomi hesitated and shook her head, "I still want to investigate on my own first. Although this person is dangerous, he doesn't seem to be hostile. I think we might be able to make further contact, but I haven't found out the other person's true purpose yet."

Looking at the dark circles under the other person's eyes, the girl asked curiously:

"Why do you look so tired?"

Chappie hit him and suddenly showed an excited expression: "I stayed up all night and went through all the system updates from the mastermind of the Evernight City. Guess what I found?"

"The mechanical mastermind of this place is going to complete a major version update, which means that the illusory personality of the machine generation is going to be reset," Hitomi said heavily.

Running water is not rotten, door hinges are not beetrooted. In any power institution, it is not a good thing for the person in power to be in power for a long time. This represents a kind of thinking logic, a kind of acting style, and even a kind of scientific and technological route.

AI is more risky in this regard, because AI will not die of old age, so in theory, it can even become a permanent ruler.

Naturally, the cyber testing ground would not allow such an awesome person to exist.

Mechanical masterminds everywhere will undergo a major update every once in a while. In the process, the underlying code will be rewritten, machine logic will be reshaped, and even mechanical ethics will change.

In this process, the virtual personality of the mechanical mastermind will be overwritten by the new personality.

"You actually saw it," Chappie looked at the other party in surprise, but then smiled and said, "But this is just the surface."

"What do you mean?" Hitomi frowned.

Chappie held out two fingers, "There are two masterminds of this city that never sleeps."

"In other words, there are two machines."

Tong's expression suddenly changed, "This is against the laws of the mother city. Is it a twin personality or a mother-female personality?"

"It's most likely the latter," Chappie smiled weirdly, "Guess who else I found out came here recently?"

"who?"

"Our old friend, the Holy City Organization."

…

"This can't happen anymore!"

"If you die now, you will die. If you make great plans, you will die. If you wait for death, how can a country die?"

"speak English."

"I feel like I'm going to enter random killing mode if I can't fight monsters any more."

"Kill people, do you dare to chop the chickens in the village?"

At this time, a group of players were whispering in Hanging Street. After discussing for a long time, they elected three leaders.

Baozi, Moyu Master, Lingling Shui.

Needless to say, Baozi is known as an NPC player. He specializes in issuing various tasks and is good at prosthetic transformation.

The fish master is a hidden professional cyber hacker who looks like a high school student and has dark circles under his eyes that are unique to hackers.

Lingling Shui, commercial assassin, is also a hidden profession.

However, the three player representatives were reluctant.

"I'm a life player. Not being able to fight monsters has a huge impact on me. Now all my surgery patients are scheduled for a week later."

Baozi rolled his eyes and said.

"Baozi, go quickly, or we'll kill you if you don't!"

"Yes, I blew up your equipment, fucked your anus, and robbed your store, and we also bought it for zero dollars!"

"You have the highest favorability. If you don't fall in love with me, who else will?"

Lingling Shui on the side also sighed, "I'm just passing through the Evernight City, and I'm not an indigenous player here. When this matter is over, I will rush back to hand in the mission."

"Why are you so anxious? Companies are so arrogant now. Isn't this a great time for you commercial spies to work?"

"I'm a commercial assassin, not a commercial spy, okay!" Lingling Shui touched the Japanese long sword and said with a dangerous look.

This guy is not a life player like Baozi, he is very skilled.

The friends around him suddenly took a step back with stern expressions.

The next moment, the fish master who had been silent suddenly raised his head and said blankly: "Ah, the hacker got in."

The electronic lock clicked and the door opened.
