Chapter 71: Ambush
“All the hackers of the Voodoo Gang are out looking for the”Lord”, which makes it difficult for the Internet monitoring agents to break into the”Voodoo Gang”.”BBS (Data Fortress) but found nothing
“Oh no, they are going to look for the”Lord”, we must act quickly!”
Soon, the network monitoring agents reacted quickly. They already knew about the existence of”Shadow Soldiers” from the”Lost Battlefield”. The network monitoring agents who had dealt with”Wandering AI” and”Black Wall” knew immediately that this was a skill”exclusive” to”Lord-level AI”.
Meanwhile, Lucy was waiting for death. She was”plotted” by the network monitoring agents and now had become a must-kill list of the”Poseidon Subnet”. The armed guards of the”Voodoo Gang” outside must have also heard the news. Although her”silly apprentice” Ali was an excellent shooter, he was an ordinary person without any implants after all, and he certainly could not deal with the group of armed guards of the”Voodoo Gang” equipped with weapons and armor.
Her data consciousness was still in the”Maze Battlefield”, and her body was like meat on a chopping board without any resistance. Lucy really couldn’t think of any hope of their escape.
At this moment, three”Shadow Soldiers” successfully found Lucy. They drilled out of the”Maze Barrier” and slowly walked towards Lucy!
“Who?”
Lucy reacted quickly, and when she turned around, she saw three”virtual AIs” appear in front of her. This was something Lucy had never seen before. They were pitch black and exuded cold murderous intent. Seeing them approaching, Lucy felt a chill in her heart.
“What kind of monster is this?”
Just when Lucy was about to strike first, the”shadow soldiers” took action. They began to use sign language, as if to tell Lucy something. They looked a little silly, but they didn’t seem to have any intention of attacking.
“ha?”
“Is this a special mutation?”AI”” What?”
Lucy was a little confused, watching several strange AIs with”cold” faces start to”dance” in front of her. Since they were just new AIs, Ali forgot to set up language functions for them.
However, with their excellent”action language”, Lucy still understood what they meant. Of course, she did not let down her guard.
“Huh? You want me to stop being emo?”
“He also said that there was”sputum” on the ground where I just sat down.”？”
“Isn’t that right?”
The soldiers shook their heads frantically, pointing at Lucy’s face and then at themselves, meaning that Lucy should follow them.
“Want me to give you a slap in the face?”
The shadow soldiers were silent. They looked at each other, then pointed at Lucy’s feet, and then pointed at”themselves”.
To the”shadow soldiers”, their meaning was very clear.”Feet” means”walking”.”，””Myself” is equal to”Follow me”
“Want to eat my feet?”
As soon as these words came out, the three”shadow soldiers” immediately showed three puzzled looks. The expressions of the three guys were like this”？？？”
Then, after they thought about Lucy’s answer, they were shocked and their expressions became like this.”！！！”
Then their heads started to smoke, mainly because Lucy’s”reply” was too nonsensical. As new”AI soldiers”, their minds were like those of infants. Their weak”self-thinking” ability was completely unable to understand why the”creature” in front of them would give such an irrelevant answer after seeing their actions.
This made their already imperfect brains start to malfunction. The three”shadow soldiers” stood there stupidly, not knowing what actions to use to make the”creature” in front of them understand what they meant.
That’s right, from the beginning to the end, they thought that Lucy couldn’t understand their actions. The simple”new AI” didn’t think about whether Lucy was”teasing” them.
Because the three”shadow soldiers” had not yet learned what”cheating” meant, they only thought that the”creature learning ability” in front of them was too weak.
Lucy actually knew that this group of”AI life” that she had never seen before wanted to take her away. When the”shadow soldiers” were distressed, Lucy was also secretly looking at them.
Putting aside their appearance, their data capabilities are very similar to those of”wandering AI”, but they are”virtual AI” that will not actively attack”hackers””
“Could it be a new type of AI?”
Yes, the”Lord Soldiers” that the”Internet Monitoring Agents” know and the”Voodoo Gang” also know are unknown to Lucy. Since she was a child, she has been treated as the lowest-end consumable cannon fodder by”Arasaka” and is responsible for”picking up garbage” in the periphery of the deep network, so she has never been exposed to more advanced things such as”Lords” and”Lord Soldiers”.
So she doesn’t know these”special AIs” created by the”Lords” at all, but the unknown means risk, and Lucy is not stupid. How could she follow these”weird things” casually? So naturally she pretended to be stupid, anyway, this group of”weird AI” didn’t seem to have a high IQ. Seeing that
Lucy didn’t cooperate, the”Shadow Soldiers” were also distressed, but they couldn’t take Lucy away by force, because Ali’s order to them was”Eliminate all threats to her during the escort process!”
If they forcibly take Lucy away, it would be a”threat” to Lucy, and then they would need to”erase” themselves, but if they”erase themselves” there would be no one to”escort” Lucy, which would lead to a logical paradox. It’s like”If someone commits suicide, is there one more person committing suicide in the world, or one less person committing suicide?”
In short, with Lucy’s ambiguous answer, the”shadow soldiers’ little heads were already overwhelmed”, they had not yet learned the consciousness of”asking for help”, so they could only stalemate with Lucy, and sat down next to Lucy to”protect” her, of course, also with the intention of”urging” her, as if they would not leave until Lucy left.
“Strange, why hasn’t Lucy come yet? Didn’t I find my”Shadow Soldiers”? Or were they destroyed?”
On the other side, Ali had been waiting for Lucy at the exit of the”Maze Battlefield” for a long time. Calculating the time,”eight minutes” had passed. Ali had absorbed almost all the”wandering AI” in this area, but there was still no sign of Lucy.
After all, this was Ali’s first time as a”Lord”. Earlier, he was busy absorbing”wandering AI”, which resulted in him not trying many programs that needed to be added or debugged.
Also because he was not a serious”virtual life form”, his way of thinking was still that of a”human”. He treated the”Shadow Soldiers” transformed from”Virtual AI” as ordinary summoned subordinates, and let them work as soon as they were born.
Little did he know that intelligent AI also needs some time to learn and imitate, and needs the”Lord” to provide data codes to write and improve their”way of thinking” and”memory bank”.
But Ali didn’t know about this. After summoning the”Shadow Soldiers”, he let them work. As a result, not only did they not bring back Lucy, but they were restricted by Lucy and their actions were restricted.
“You, you, and the rest of you, go find Lucy for me, take her away from the”Poseidon Subnet”, protect her and eliminate all threats to her.”
“”Accept the order!”
Ali picked more than a dozen powerful”shadow soldiers” to go find Lucy and bring her to the”maze battlefield”.
Each of these soldiers probably has 12-14 advanced hacker skills.
They are much stronger than the three”level 10 hackers””shadow soldiers” sent over before, because”level 10″ can only be regarded as”advanced hackers” who have just stepped into the door, while”level 12-14″ is a senior”advanced hacker” whose strength is much stronger than that of”level 10 hackers”.
To put it in an analogy, they are like two adults of the same physique, but they are not as strong as the”level 10 hackers”.
One of them has practiced professional boxing for 10 years, and the other has never practiced anything.
In other words, although they are both”high-level hackers”, a”12-14-level high-level hacker” is enough to deal with two or three”10-level high-level hackers” alone.
Don’t underestimate the value of”high-level hackers”. For”wandering AIs”, this is already very high. The hacker level of all”wandering AIs” is basically in the three options of”low-level, medium-level, and high-level”, just like a pyramid, with the most low-level and the least high-level.
Ali absorbed more than 300″wandering AIs” in total, because [Swallow The”Summon Devouring” skill has the characteristic of”tripling soldiers”, so he already has more than a thousand”Shadow Soldiers”.
Among them, there are only about twenty”Advanced Hackers”, and the ratio is about one”Advanced Hacker” for every fifty”Wandering AI”.
After all, they are”brainless monsters” who only know how to”hunt down players”. They have no thinking ability and will not think about improving themselves.
In short, Ali has sent out most of his”Shadow Soldiers” with the strength of”Advanced Hackers” to escort Lucy, and more than a dozen”Shadow Soldiers” with the ability to ignore”Services””Advanced hackers” with the ability of”Device Constraint”.
This lineup can fight even if they encounter”Bridget” who operates the”Poseidon System”, and can even kill him. This way, they can definitely bring Lucy out.
Ali thought to himself, but after waiting for a while, Lucy did not come, but all the hackers of the”Voodoo Gang” came. The leader”Bridget” was also a little surprised when she saw Ali’s”half human shadow, half digital”.
The virtual body was only half built, and it turned out that this was still a”newly born lord”, but this newly born”lord” was quite strong.
“The fact that it can create so many”Lord Soldiers” in its”infant stage” means that it has extremely powerful”computing power”. When it grows to a”mature body”, it may be able to match the”Black Wall”.
Thinking of this,”Bridget”‘s eyes lit up. Although the”newborn Lord” is a little weak, this also shows that it has not yet found its own”meaning of life”.”，
They are young, ignorant and gullible, and can easily get on board the”Voodoo Gang” pirate ship, no, the”Noah’s Ark””
“Hello, respected”Lord”, my name is”Bridget”, a gang leader from the”Physical World”. Like you, I am considered a”Lord” of the”Physical World”.””
Bridget was the first to greet them. Their”Voodoo Gang” voluntarily gave up the BBS”Data Fortress” of the”Poseidon System” for the”Lord”.”……
It can be said that they have suffered heavy losses. If they cannot hook up the”juvenile lord” in front of them, they will be powerless to resist the next attack of the”network monitoring” and can only flee.
Their”Voodoo Gang” does not want to return to the days of hiding, so Bridget secretly made up her mind that no matter what she said today, she would pull this”lord” into the camp of their”Voodoo Gang”.
Ali did not reply to Bridget. Bridget looked at him, and he was naturally looking at Bridget.
The”ten minutes” that Ali had agreed with him was just a delaying tactic to absorb the”wandering A” in the”Poseidon Subnet”, and the authority of the”Poseidon Subnet” was in”Bridget’s” head.
So if Ali wanted to absorb”a large number of”wandering AI” attracted by hackers in the”Poseidon Subnet”, it would be impossible for him to really shoot”Bridget” lying on the deep-diving hacker chair.
Therefore, once a fight breaks out with”Drasip” in the”real” world, Ali will have to pull his attention back to the”real world” and activate the”implant skills” in order to protect Lucy. By then, there will be too much trouble, so Ali proposed the”ten-minute appointment.”
And now Ali has absorbed almost all the”wandering A” in the”Poseidon Subnet”, and no longer needs to delay time with the”Voodoo Gang”.
So now Ali is considering whether to wipe out all the”Voodoo Gang”. Anyway, it was done by the”Lord”, and it has nothing to do with him,”Ali”. After all, the”Voodoo Gang” is not a good thing. Although destroying them can put an end to everything, it is quite unfriendly to poor Lucy. After all, she has worked so hard for so long, but when she wakes up, she finds that all the”employers” are dead, and she can’t get any”reward”.
“Forget it, let’s just kill them. We’ll talk about the money later.”
Thinking of this, Ali remained expressionless on the surface, but he had already started to kill. Just as he was about to activate the [Poseidon System] and use the amplified [Level 18 Legendary Hacker Technology] to burn the brains of all the”Voodoo Gang” members, Bridget suddenly knelt on one knee with a very humble attitude.
“Dear”AI Lord”, we, the”Voodoo Gang”, hope that you can become our”guardian spirit” and we will become your”faithful believers”. I think that”leading the”Voodoo Gang” to carry forward this concept will definitely be a good thing for you!”
“I know you have some concerns in your heart, but please believe in our”loyalty”. Even if it means sacrificing our lives for it, we will do it at all costs and try our best!”
“We can take you to the”physical world”, or you can experience and observe us first. Even if you don’t think the”Voodoo Gang” is”worthwhile”, we will accept it calmly.”
“Our goal is very simple, we just hope that the”Voodoo Gang” can form a”friendly and mutually supportive” camp with you and establish a good relationship.”
Ali looked at the humble”Bridget” kneeling on the ground, and listened to her sincere and flattering speech. Ali came up with a plan, and the murderous intent in his heart had quietly disappeared.
“It seems that it is not impossible”
“I think your proposal is very good.”
Ali spoke slowly, and the mechanical electronic sound sounded like the most beautiful sound to Bridget. Now even the faces of all the hackers of the”Voodoo Gang” behind her showed excitement and joy.
Their Voodoo Gang has been established for so long, and they have been worshipping non-existent virtual statues in the church for so long. Can they finally welcome a real god belonging to the”Voodoo Gang”?
“Cooperation” with a”lord” is definitely a great thing for the”Voodoo Gang”!
For Ali, it is also a good thing. If he handles it properly, he can get the resources and subordinates of the entire”Voodoo Gang” for free.
As for”help” and”leadership”, their”Voodoo Gang” can use”Bad Check” hired cyber hackers for help, and Ali could still use”bad checks” to get rid of them.
After all, who could have thought that a”newly born lord” would lie, use tricks, and be a living human being who lives in Night City like them?
Just when Ali and the”Voodoo Gang” began their”cordial communication” with”ulterior motives”, the change came, and the agents of”Network Monitoring” finally came, come over!
They looked at all the hackers of the”Voodoo Gang” with hostility, and both sides showed stern expressions and undisguised murderous intent. Naturally, they would not give each other a good face for the old rivals such as the”Voodoo Gang” and the”Network Monitoring” who have hated and fought each other for many years.
“It is”Lord”！”
“Or the newly born”Lord”！”
At this moment, the agents of”Network Monitoring” noticed the”half-human dark half-virtual data stream””Lord” not far away.
They all exclaimed, they didn’t expect that a”pure new lord” with”original ecology” and”no records” was born in the”black wall”, which was completely different from”Ultra”!
“Ultra is a”lord” transformed from a human hacker. He has”human” thinking and memory, and is not a”black wall””，”Delaman” this purebred”Lord”.
