Safe house, deep dive room.
Tang Yu hugged V horizontally, placed it on the hacker chair, and gently helped her straighten her sleeping position.
V lay quietly on the hacker's chair, his eyes were slightly closed, and he seemed to be sleeping soundly.
Tang Yu found V in a small square in Watson. At that time, she fainted and lay on the ground without moving.
Coupled with the bloody surrounding the small square, V's 'corpse' shape almost didn't surprise Tang Yu, thinking that V had encountered some terrible accident.
After Tang Yu's comprehensive inspection, he found that V still maintained healthy vital signs, so he took her back to the network monitoring safe house with confidence.
Lucy adjusted the equipment on the other side, arranged the optical cables and interfaces, and made preparations for the deep dive.
"Her ICE was invaded and cracked by an unknown source program, but it only temporarily short-circuited her brain and did not damage the hardware of the prosthetic body."
"From the point of view of this method, the other party's warning means more."
Tang Yu reached out to support the back of V's neck, and cleaned the hair blocking the neck, leaving a biological neural interface.
"Indeed, there was no trauma to her body."
"The other party uses this method of remotely invading the brain prosthesis. In addition to warning, they also intend to show their strength, at least in terms of hacking technology."
Lucy's eyebrows and eyes looked a little dignified. Seeing V lying unconscious on the hacker's chair, she couldn't help but think of what happened to her.
now.
Being targeted by unknown forces, V must face an environment where dangers lurk everywhere, and he lacks a serious sense of security.
Lucy didn't know what conspiracy V was involved in. In a short period of time, she was unconscious and seriously injured twice in a row, which was enough to show that her luck was indeed not very good.
"This time it's just a warning, but it may not be the case next time."
"Fortunately, the ICE solid defense has been upgraded before, and the system is very stable. As long as the brain prosthesis system is restarted, it will not take long to regain consciousness."
But Tang Yu wanted to do a more in-depth examination of V's brain before she woke up.
Previously at Lao Wei's place, he borrowed equipment to check V's underlying database, and found nothing abnormal.
It's just that there are some clues in the memory storage. An unknown program has sneaked into her memory block, but there is no other action.
"Well, but maybe I need to trouble you to dive deep into her biological nervous system to see what's abnormal."
Lucy walked to the hacking chair, handed over the interface in her hand, and said softly, "Connect it."
Tang Yu passed the interface into V's biological nerve socket, looked sideways at Lucy, and found that she was taking off her clothes and stepping into the cold pool water again.
Lucy frowned slightly on her originally calm face. Although she held back her silence, she still couldn't get used to the biting chill of the icy water.
She lay quietly in the ice pool, her whole body was soaked in the water, her slender waist was undoubtedly exposed.
Lucy crossed her hands in front of her abdomen, stared straight at the ceiling, and murmured.
"Don, I'm ready."
After Tang Yu handled the program on V's side, he picked up the other end of the optical cable interface and squatted by the pool.
"Twice a day, can you stand it?"
Lucy closed her eyes slowly, said no more, and a look of determination appeared on her face.
In the same day, two deep dives in a row are tantamount to a huge test for the brain.
Although the previous deep dive went well and didn't take long, the brain nerves will endure the inevitable high temperature in the face of huge data flow.
So for the second deep dive, Tang Yu was a little worried that Lucy could not bear it and was in danger.
However, Lucy's attitude seems to be very firm, and she is ready for the second time.
Tang Yu reached out to the back of her head and gently peeled off the bandage covering the deep dive slot.
Then the optical cable interface is firmly inserted into it, and with a click, the two are tightly matched.
Lucy frowned slightly, and couldn't help clenching her silver teeth.
As the switch was activated, Lucy's consciousness instantly turned into a stream of data, escaping into the data space of V's brain.
Tang Yu reached into the bath, and gently held Lucy's wrist, a faintly invisible electric arc slowly flowed through the bionic skin, and flowed into her brain from the data interface.
now.
Lucy was in V's ICE data space when she suddenly heard Tang Yu's voice.
Tang Yu is helping Lucy through "weak electric control energy".
Following his prompt, Lucy quickly unlocked the ICE defense and headed towards V's core data area.
V's ICE solid defenses are all upgraded by Lao Wei, so Tang Yu knows it very well.
With Tang Yu's help, Lucy found the memory storage area without much effort.
In the endless dark space, a matrix composed of countless codes is running and circulating in an orderly manner.
"Check to confirm that there is no problem with the nervous system."
"Check to confirm that there is no problem with the biological sign maintenance system."
"Check to confirm."
Lucy screened V's situation item by item, trying to find out what problems existed in V's head.
"Look at the memory storage area, and check if there is any abnormality in the subnet Poseidon." Tang Yu's words flowed through Lucy's heart.
She quickly switched the screening area, entered the memory storage area, and flipped through the contents.
For a while, Lucy saw many fragments of various memory details about V, some of which were from V's biological memory, and some were recorded through prosthetic eyes.
It shows a lot of V's life in street fights and in various fighting scenes all year round.
And recently she was traumatized by Adam's hammer and lost a forearm.
suddenly.
A picture caught Lucy's attention, which was recorded through the prosthetic eye.
The content is the first-person perspective of V, who seems to be leaning in the arms of a man, lowering his head shyly.
Due to the fast flow of data, these pictures only flashed by, not quite relevant to what Lucy was looking for.
She just paid a little attention, then skipped over, but she always felt that the shirt in her sight was inexplicably familiar.
soon.
Lucy discovered the key point through the screening data, and was shocked.
There is a huge monster stored in V's brain, which gathers into a group and forms a whole, directly absorbing the data code symbols flowing around it.
A large group of data is like a giant bee colony, and each code symbol is like a small bee, flying up and down regularly around the bee colony.
Lucy tentatively analyzed the data group in front of her, and immediately discovered the clues.
Subnet Poseidon?
This data cluster that seemed to come alive was the Seagod data that was copied into V's brain not long ago.
It's just that the server was severely damaged during the data copy process, resulting in the loss of the subnet Poseidon data in V's mind.
But now the subnet Poseidon seems to have regained its vitality, using the computing power of the V brain prosthesis to gradually repair and improve its own data.
The codes are like little bees, gathering from all directions to join the subnet Poseidon.
Lucy was horrified.
The subnet Poseidon data unexpectedly produced the preliminary artificial intelligence ideology, or that Poseidon belonged to artificial intelligence from the very beginning.
Now it is stored in V's biological brain machine, and another environment for survival update mechanism is obtained.
If it continues to develop like this, the subnet Poseidon can use V's brain computing power to recover little by little until it evolves a newer algorithm, or artificial intelligence.
Lucy realized that the situation was not good, immediately waved her hand, and started the cleaning program to try to erase this clump of data.
Now that the Voodoo Gang has been wiped out, and the subnet Poseidon's broken data has been handed over to Arasaka, the data in V's mind no longer has much meaning, and network monitoring does not need to use this data to do things.
One after another, the cleaning program codes, like white iron chains, invaded the Seagod data group.
The cleanable program code came into contact with the Poseidon data group, and then it was swallowed up and disappeared without a sound.
Obviously.
The computing power of the Poseidon data group has developed to a certain level, and it is able to independently resist the invasion, and even gradually has a human form, which looks more like V from the blurred figure.
It was the first time Lucy encountered this situation, and she felt extremely tricky.
This clump of data is now equivalent to 'parasitic' in V's head. Although it doesn't have much impact at present, it is not guaranteed that it will produce moths in the future.
Before Lucy started a more powerful offensive program again, the Seagod data group suddenly stretched out several codes, attacking her like octopus tentacles.
Since it is in V's bio-nerve data space, Lucy dare not use too radical methods to avoid causing damage to V's brain nerves.
Taking advantage of her timidity, the Seagod Data Chain instantly trapped her, locking her in a chain-like cage.
Lucy turned pale in surprise. If she was locked up here and couldn't get out, when V woke up and disconnected, she might be trapped here forever, and she would never be able to return to her body.
Before she had time to worry about the future, the situation in front of her was already in jeopardy.
The cage that trapped her was slowly pulling towards the Seagod Data Corps, and the other party seemed to want to use Lucy as a new supply.
This kind of data consciousness with logical thinking is undoubtedly the most tempting feast for the sea god who has just taken shape.
Lucy made a decisive decision, tried her best to break through the cage that trapped her, and rushed towards other areas.
But just after she escaped from the cage, her legs were tied by two data links, blocking the transfer program she started.
The powerful basic algorithm program of Poseidon Data gives it more space and leeway to play.
Lucy's eyebrows and eyes were anxious, if she couldn't escape from here, she would be in danger.
But in the face of the Sea God data group and the data space in V's mind, Lucy couldn't wantonly destroy it and then leave.
Just when she and the Sea God data team were in a stalemate and were in deep danger, an electric arc shot out from her legs, burning the data chain like an electric fire.
Immediately afterwards, the arc wrapped around Lucy's whole body, blocking all the data chains stretching out, and any data codes that touched the arc network were burned to death.
Lucy's expression lightened, and she immediately seized the opportunity to start the reflux and end the deep dive.
"Cough cough."
While Tang Yu turned off the deep diving program and unplugged the socket on the back of Lucy's head, Lucy took a deep breath, woke up suddenly, and couldn't help coughing a few times.
Because of the severe cough, Lucy was shaking all over, and the wet hair was dripping with water.
Tang Yu quickly took the blanket, draped it over her shoulders, and helped her up from the cold pool.
Lucy stepped out of the pool a little weakly, her slender legs were shaking a little, and she was almost unstable.
She leaned on the wall with both hands, lowered her head and frowned tightly, trying to calm down her agitated emotions and disordered breathing.
Two consecutive high-intensity deep dives and fierce confrontation with ICE overloaded her brain, causing her to suffer from extremely uncomfortable headaches and her complexion in agony.
Tang Yu knew that this was a sequela of the hacker's deep dive activities, and there was no better way than to wait for the brain to recover naturally.
Lucy was wearing a blanket over her shoulders, water droplets dripped onto the ground along her smooth and tender skin, and the heat evaporated from her head was rising upwards.
She regained her strength a bit, looked sideways at V who was lying on the hacker chair, and said softly: "The subnet Poseidon in her brain is abnormal, it has come back to life."
Subnet Poseidon is alive?
Tang Yu also felt a little surprised in his heart.
He had suspected this at the beginning, but he hadn't found any sign of a problem during the old Wei Na's inspection.
This shows that Subnet Sea God hides very deeply and disguises himself well.
And before getting the intrusion record, it is very likely that he saw the state of the subnet Poseidon, so he chose to continue to wait for the opportunity to mature.
"How is your condition? Can you hold on?"
Lucy said in a deep voice: "I'm fine, let's see her first, this problem is not easy to solve."
Just now she tried hard to clear the existence of the subnet Seagod, but ended in failure.
Tang Yu nodded, but with the technical means in front of him, he couldn't handle it for a while.
"I can only find another way to solve this matter. It can't be solved by deep potential. Let her wake up later."
Lucy nodded with some difficulty, but she couldn't even squat down to pick up the clothes because she was struggling to stand still.
She tried to squat down and reached out to pick up the clothes. Her hands and legs trembled involuntarily, and she didn't listen to her head at all.
"hateful."
The deep diving activity just now caused too much pressure on the cranial nerves, at least it took a while to recover.
Tang Yu saw her difficulty, so he picked up the clothes on the ground one by one, wiped them clean, hung them on his wrists in an orderly manner, and walked in front of Lucy.
"I'll replace it for you." Tang Yu said bluntly with a calm expression.
It seems that there is nothing wrong with it. When he was a deep dive hacker, he often took off his clothes.
Once in the cyberspace, he had a battle with the Arasaka hackers, and after spending a lot of effort to solve the trouble, he almost collapsed when he returned to reality.
It was they who helped carry out the freezer, wipe it clean and change their clothes.
During that time, he was like a vegetative person, lying dead for several days, and he couldn't cheer up after being impotent for a while.
Compared with his embarrassment at the time, Lucy was more respectable.
Seeing Tang Yu's actions, she showed embarrassment, a hint of shame and anger in her eyes, and a pair of neon eyes stared at Tang Yu coldly.
After a while.
Lucy put away her hostile gaze, slowly closed her eyes and said.
"draw the curtain"
Tang Yu thought to himself that there were no outsiders around here, and V was still in a coma, so pulling the curtain was a bit redundant.
But considering Lucy's sensitive self-esteem, Tang Yu had no choice but to do so, and closed the curtain to isolate V lying on the hacker chair.
Soon.
Tang Yu hugged Lucy horizontally and walked out from behind the curtain.
Lucy glanced at V, and then said, "Let me go outside, and then you take her away."
Tang Yu was worried that it would be inappropriate for Lucy to stay in the safe house alone for such a weak Lucy, so he kindly suggested, "Send you back."
Lucy tried to clenched her fists, but her fingers were weak and she couldn't close them, so she looked at Tang Yu in front of her coldly and asked, "Do you think that sports car can sit?"
Tang Yu thought she was worried and couldn't let go of her face, but she didn't expect it to be such a trivial matter, so she replied easily: "It's okay, I still have a spare limousine."
5 minute later.
An Arasaka high-end business car was driving steadily on the road, heading towards Westbrook Cherry Blossom Street.
in the carriage.
Tang Yu leaned back on the soft leather seat, and there were two people sitting opposite each other, each wearing a seat belt.
One is V, who is sleeping sweetly, with his head drooping, oblivious to it.
One is Lucy with her stubborn head held high and her eyes closed tightly, with a cold and shy look on her brows.
It was somewhat of a coincidence that Tang Yu looked at the two people on the left and the right, and they both failed on the same day.
But these things are inseparable from him. If V hadn't been arranged to steal the data of the Poseidon subnet of the Voodoo Gang, V wouldn't have had multiple data tumors in his brain for no reason.
If he hadn't allowed Lucy to dive deep into V's brain, Lucy wouldn't have tossed twice in a row and was exhausted after encountering danger.
He tried his best to hide his guilt, and asked Lucy with a straight face: "Is it better now?"
Lucy didn't open her eyes at all, she seemed to be worried about what happened just now, and asked, "What do you think?"
Tang Yu didn't care about her tone, and still said to himself: "Maybe you need to rest for a while recently. If there is something urgent, I can arrange someone to do it for you."
Lucy didn't refuse: "Thanks, you really have a heart."
The carriage fell silent again.
suddenly.
Lucy seemed to think of something, and asked, "Does she know your secret?"
Tang Yu immediately realized that Lucy was referring to her own mysterious ability.
Without installing any prosthetic body, it can precisely control the prosthetic body by controlling its weaknesses, and even connect to the cyberspace to transmit data and energy.
"Only you know at the moment." Tang Yu seemed calm.
Lucy remembered that night run, and the shock when she saw him show his amazing ability was really incredible.
She had thought about this matter many times alone, but she never asked Tang Yu.
In fact, these secrets belong to Tang Yu alone, and there is no need or should be a second person to know, but Tang Yu chose to tell her in this way.
Lucy opened her icy blue eyes, and when she looked at Tang Yu again this time, there was a little gleam in the neon pupils.
"You are special, so special that you don't seem to belong to this world."
Tang Yu's eyes froze slightly. He didn't expect the silver-haired girl in front of him to have such a keen intuition, and she discovered something unusual.
He looked out of the car window helplessly, as if he had just returned to Night City, feeling a little emotional.
"If this city is really destroyed one day, and everyone around you disappears, and you are given another chance to start over, will you still choose this path?"
Lucy's pupils shrank suddenly, and she was very surprised by Tang Yu's question.
She was thinking seriously with some difficulty, but her eyes fell on Tang Yu's face involuntarily.
long silence.
"I-I don't know." Lucy murmured.
Tang Yu laughed, and there was a bit of helplessness in the emotional laughter.
"In fact, I do not know."
"Once upon a time, we carried torches and set the world on fire with rage."
"But right now, I'm really not sure."
"The gifted ability is very powerful, but the price of using it is something I don't want to pay."
"Sometimes I want to never use these abilities for the rest of my life. At least this means that everything is going well for the time being."
Lucy's eyes were heavy, and she couldn't help but think of the scenes where Tang Yu used mysterious abilities many times, all of which were to save the field, or to save himself.
Now that V next to her is in danger, she knows that Tang Yu will do whatever it takes to save V.
Because Lucy knew that the chest in the memory picture in V's brain belonged to Tang Yu.
V must be someone who is very important to him, even if the two seem to have just met at this moment.
Lucy's heart began to become complicated, and she didn't want to deal with or figure out these things.
"What are you going to do with V's matter?" Lucy changed the subject, and the secrets about Tang Yu came to an end.
Tang Yu glanced at V, who was sleeping soundly, and knew that she was physically strong and nervous, and there would be no problems for a while.
"Let's wait until the time is right. Even I can't solve the troubles in her mind. I may have to find someone to help. Maybe one day I have the ability to solve it, and it will be solved naturally."
Lucy immediately thought of the powerful figure outside the black wall of cyberspace, Otto Cunningham.
If she made the move, the subnet Poseidon in V's brain would not be difficult, but the subnet Poseidon is a tool of the Voodoo Gang, so handing it over to the AI outside the black wall would lead to great risks.
Although Lucy doesn't really want to work in network monitoring, she has also learned more about cyberspace through her identity as a network agent these days.
The AI outside the black wall is not only growing wildly and recklessly, attacking hackers who try to climb over the black wall to the old Internet, but also consciously wants to break through the black wall and enter the only remaining cyberspace of human beings, thereby infiltrating into the human material world.
Preventing AI from invading and penetrating the human world is the main duty of network monitoring.
The subnet Poseidon is precisely an important tool needed by AI, and if it falls into their hands, there will be endless troubles.
After a while.
The vehicle has arrived at its destination.
Tang Yu knew where Lucy's house lived, so he leaned forward to help her unbuckle her seat belt, and was about to send her back upstairs.
Who knew that Lucy stopped him with a loud voice: "Wait, take V upstairs first, and I will give you the access control certification."
The aperture of Lucy's prosthetic eye rotated, and then the access control authentication system was transmitted to Tang Yu.
This made Tang Yu feel a little strange, what to do with sending V upstairs.
He also planned to take V back to the apartment and supervise her well, so that she would not run around and cause trouble outside again during this time.
"It will be safer for her to be with me now, and the network monitoring is strict enough in terms of network security protection."
"By the way, I'll give her an ICE solid defense upgrade, and add program confinement to the subnet Poseidon data in her brain. There is a more advanced version for network monitoring."
Seeing Lucy's serious expression, Tang Yu seemed to be really moved.
In terms of ICE software programs, the products of network surveillance are definitely more reliable than those of Arasaka.
And he has to go back to the Arasaka Tower later, and he still has some things to deal with, so it's inconvenient to bring V by his side all the time.
It's impossible to lock her in her apartment, and it's impossible to stop her from jumping off the building with her temper.
After thinking about it, Tang Yu agreed.
After pushing open the car door, he carried the fainted V up to the building and sent him to Lucy's apartment.
When I came back, I found that Lucy had tried her best to support the car door, resisting the weakness and trembling of her legs, and wanted to go home with her own strength.
When Tang Yu saw this, he didn't ask any more questions, and went forward to hug her horizontally and sent her upstairs.
After settling them down, he turned around and left, and immediately rushed to the Arasaka Tower to prepare for the next step.
None tonight.
