Chapter 440 Moral Logic Trap

"I heard you came equipped with power armor."

"Yes, I bought the engineering equipment from the black market, but I didn't expect it to be very useful, so I left it down there."

"How many people are there in the Brain Demon Gang? Where did they get the full-body prosthetics?"

"I don't know, but the server is still down there. You can find someone to clean this place up. This is what Ye's Group does in the first place. It shouldn't be a big project, right?"

"Ah"

The centaur mecha is essentially a heavy-duty exoskeleton, but it is not short in height. It is nearly two meters tall when dressed. And because it holds a large shield and heavy weapons at the same time, it looks very huge.

However, Lier will not make people feel small when standing in front of the mecha. On the contrary, the people of NCPD feel that the mecha is a bit small.

Because Jack is eating.

"What's going on? This man looks like a desert cook when he's eating."

Jack, who was taking a lot of food, had a straight face and looked more serious.

Jefferson was slightly dissatisfied, Leal could see it.

His complexion was much better than when he had to be injected with stimulants at any time, but still fainted before he could say more than two words.

It also feels more dangerous.

Lear currently has two commissions, one is to investigate the rogue AI Muramasa, and the other is to investigate new sources of goods in the black market of Night City.

Strictly speaking, when it comes to the Brain Devil Gang, Jefferson is his employer.

Now there is a feeling of deceiving the employer - Lille wants to hide the matter of the biological host.

Jefferson thought for a moment and said, "Did you find anything?"

"Yes, the Brain Devil Gang has been providing full-body prosthetic modifications to the black market. The Slaughterhouse, the Mox Gang, and perhaps other gangs that are ready to appear have already dressed up."

"That's a bit bad, but why do the Brain Demon Gang have such technology and equipment?"

Leal took out some remains from the box——

"This is not the most critical issue. The most critical issue is that they dug a very complicated tunnel system underneath, and I don't know where it leads specifically.

And there is this kind of micro-equipment in the channel, which is a very efficient information attack device. "

Jefferson took the device and started scanning with his prosthetic eye: "Well, it is indeed a very high-tech thing. There is no manufacturer information and no clues, but it must be military grade.

Radio jamming, directional electromagnetic pulses. That's what's blocking mobile video, isn't it?

Very useful information, but what about the Brain Devil gang? "

"There are only three. I scanned their biometric codes, but the bottom is about to collapse. There is no way I can bring three dead people out."

"Three?"

"Three."

Jefferson thought for a while and said: "This will be very troublesome. This kind of equipment is very penetrating as an interference source. If their tunnel extends below a certain power distribution station, they may create an electromagnetic pulse again.

It would be fine if the brain demons were just digging them out for themselves as a back-up, but I'm afraid they were digging them out for others. "

And this worry is completely consistent with Lille's judgment.

"Your worries are very reasonable. The Brain Demon Gang does not have the ability to manufacture high-precision components. They must have suppliers. Moreover, it doesn't look like they pay with money."

Three completely black accounts, no account information could be found on the host, and no 100 yuan could be found in the entire hole.

They have good technology, but the hardware they use is much more valuable, and it’s still a seller’s market——

Any company will control the outflow of such components.

"It's tricky. It feels like the mob has a tactical electromagnetic pulse weapon, and we don't even know where they are deploying it."

After Jefferson finished speaking, he looked at Lear again, "I have to say, you didn't do a good job this time. Cleaning the tunnel is quite a troublesome job.

Moreover, you didn't answer my question, how did the Brain Demon Gang master this technology? There are only three of them.

Underground transactions, large-scale illegal construction, and full-body prosthetics are all so secret that no one knows about them, and all the clues are buried underground.

Maybe they just want you to bury it here. Have you thought about this? "

"I didn't bury it. They still have bombs and monomolecular knives. You're right. They may really want to bury it here.

But I have some guesses about their patron. "

"who?"

"A wandering AI."

The technology used by the biological host has obvious traces of AI.

In this era, AI technology is the exclusive skill of large enterprises. It is also something that major enterprises have basically not developed on the surface and are testing on the edge of danger secretly.

The source of this technology is very suspicious, and Lille does not think that the three gangsters can master this technology.

If the maintainers don't know a bit about something like AI, they won't be able to play with it, especially if it's something like the Brain Demon Gang, which has obvious traces of their own tinkering.

Secondly, foreign European companies are most likely to provide them with high-precision components.

Muramasa seems to have something to do with the mercenaries brought in by European companies.

Secondly, the three gangsters of the Brain Demon Gang are not ordinary: the depth and density of their brain sulci are very high, and brain cell testing also shows high activity. This is proof of high intelligence attributes and they are born hackers.

The problem is that they were already dead before Lille came into contact with them, and it is difficult to get any effective information from them.

There is also a condition to assist judgment: these things do not exist in the original "Cyberpunk 2077", and we can only think that they are related to Muramasa, who also comes from outside the plot.

But when Leal said this, he could clearly see a relatively obvious change in Jefferson's expression.

"Fleeing AI?"

"Yes." Lear nodded, "Do you still remember the mercenary who may be related to Holt? The weapons in his hands were bought from someone suspected of running AI."

Jefferson was silent for a moment: "This should be the work of network monitoring. How would you know?"

Leal shrugged: "I'm a very busy mercenary."

"Then this matter will be more complicated. We can't delay it like this anymore. I will arrange for the engineering team to come in."

Jefferson paused, "Is there anything else?"

"Yes, I have an idea - I have been tracking this rogue AI for a long time. I am thinking that instead of letting it hide in the dark and possess a communication bomb with an unknown range, it is better to fish it out at once. Actively detonate bombs.”

After solving the problem of survival, the AI, known as the dangerous critical body, will complete its "life goal" with firm and crazy execution.

Dragon hunters who hunt AI will take advantage of this feature to prepare "moral logic traps" for them and capture them.

Lille is now preparing for such a moral logic trap.

Muramasa considers himself the best weapons craftsman, and weapons are meant to be used.

"How to fish?"

Leal took out a chip and handed it to Jefferson.

"A no-holds-barred race on an unprecedented scale."
