Chapter 752 Psychological Shadow (Part 1)

Elliot's cabin was cramped and cramped, at least to Lil and Johnny's point of view - could humans really live in a room without windows?

However, from the perspective of AI, the size of this room is just right. The thickness of the walls, the embedded pipelines, pathways, and the overall wiring method are all very comfortable.

The only uncomfortable thing is that there is one person living here instead of a neat server.

What's anti-human about this house is that if Muramasa hadn't taken over the security probe of this apartment building, they wouldn't have noticed anything even if the network surveillance aerial vehicle arrived.

This place is really a place to sleep.

[Muramasa: They're here. 】

[Johnny: This shabby house is worse than a prison! 】

"Have you been in prison? You're just talking nonsense! What's wrong with this house!"

[Johnny: I've really been there. The Night City cell is much better than this shabby place like yours. The guy in there talks nicely. 】

Elliot was stunned. Isn't this a rogue AI? Why have you been in jail?

At the same time, he captured another keyword: Night City.

This AI comes from Night City!

"Night City? The cells in Night City are better than the one I live in?! You..."

[Beep——]

[This is a temporary broadcast in the apartment: There is an abnormal circuit failure inside the apartment building, and the maintenance team is involved. 】

[Please stay at home as much as possible and cooperate with maintenance personnel in their work. 】

[Network surveillance agents have arrived locally and are responsible for your safety and ensuring the security of your information. 】

[Use the network monitoring service to ensure your information is safe and secure. 】

[Muramasa: It’s really interesting. I live without worries about information security in a room that is monitored 24 hours a day to a hair-level. 】

Elliot sat on the bed, his heartbeat a little fast, perhaps because he was about to face network surveillance, and the fear in his heart made him unconsciously start to please.

"It's always going to be leaked anyway. It's better to be leaked to network surveillance than to be leaked to unscrupulous hackers, right?"

There’s nothing about me that big companies can take notice of.”

[Johnny: Hey. Shrimp, that’s not what you said when you climbed over the wall. 】

Lille thought for a while and directly pulled out the surveillance camera in the corridor.

The two people from the network monitoring team were dressed in neat uniforms. They looked high-end and professional. They walked with dignity and seemed to be chewing gum in their mouths, which added a bit of relaxation to this professional image.

The workers wandering around in the corridors either stood at the door of their house, asked the door to be opened secretly, and observed secretly as if watching the excitement.

Watching two agents approaching from the surveillance camera, watching their every move under control, feels completely different from watching them face to face:

Elliot is 1.68 meters tall and weighs 1.68 meters. He is fat and has short legs, and his facial features are unremarkable, even a little flat.

The long hours of working as a mechanic left him with the smell of soot except for engine oil, and his skin was as dry as tree bark. The prosthetic body that had been used for several years would break down from time to time, leaving him to pat and knock in place in embarrassment.

It's not just him, most of the people in this apartment building are like this.

Although these two agents were here to deal with him, he had a tangled mentality:

The network monitoring staff are really nice, they have power, they look sunny, they are strong and knowledgeable.

Not like myself

drop--

The doorbell rang and Elliot nervously opened the door.

He is only 1.68 meters tall, not handsome, and has a round body shape. No one likes him. Apart from working, he just stays at home and surfs the Internet.

These two agents are different. Their height of 1.88 meters is the favorite of girls. Their bodies are well-proportioned and slender, and their skin is fair and smooth.

He is still working in network monitoring and is a decent person.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, but he was thinking about these things crazily in his head: It would be great if he was also an employee of network monitoring.

Watching these two people on the surveillance camera, his mood was very subtle. When he actually faced them, these thoughts suddenly became more profound.

He opened the door very cooperatively, smiled and scratched his head, feeling a little nervous:

"Hello, uh"

Ignoring Elliot's nervousness, the leading network surveillance agent directly sent an electronic certificate to his system:

"Network monitoring has detected a technical problem at your place. Some of the details in the technician's maintenance report are not correct. We have something to ask you."

[Muramasa: There is a scanning program in the file, and they took it in. 】

[Johnny: Show your ID and leave it in Night City. If any young man on the street is suspected and asks the police to show his ID, it will soon turn into a shootout. 】

[Johnny: Why are these people so honest? Law enforcement shows their ID first. It turns out it is to show off their power. 】

Throughout Europe, Internet surveillance is the well-deserved Internet police.

Considering that in this era, public security is based on information technology, it can even be said that network surveillance is the regular police in Europe, and the police force in each city only provides them with help and support.

Based on a comprehensive monitoring system, network monitoring staff only need to run the program step by step to obtain all information about a citizen.

But when it comes to Muramasa and Lear, this system has met its nemesis.

The scanner goes directly into the core of Elliot's system, but AIs like Muramasa and Lear can run data across different devices in a distributed manner in a way that is close to normal system operation.

To find them hiding in the entire building, not only AI scanning tools are needed, but also very strong hacking skills——

These two guys are definitely not that kind of hackers. After just one round of contact, Muramasa and Lil made a judgment at the same time.

These two network monitoring agents are completely different from the dragon hunters, and even different from Bryce. Their skills can be said to be very poor.

They look several times more impressive than Bryce, but in fact, the so-called job is to run the program and then read the report.

Although the so-called hackers, whether masters or novices, must first write programs and prepare, there is a very significant difference between masters and novices:

In this world, when masters run programs for mechanical calculations, they will definitely keep an eye on all data as much as possible, use experience to judge abnormalities, and use intelligence and knowledge to make real-time adjustments. Even if they don’t have such powerful temporary coding skills, changing tools is also a basic operation.

Newbies, also known as script kids, just don’t care once they run, and only stare at the final report, completely ignoring what happened during the operation.

Without knowing the details, there is no way to make a judgment

The weakest point of Internet monitoring happens to be these fake goods:

Once these fake goods are deceived, the devil hidden in the details will only become more and more blurred as the reports are raised layer by layer, and ultimately the correct appearance of things cannot be presented at all!

The returned report only needs to be normal. If no one monitors the program running process, they can even put something in it!

Thinking of this, Lier immediately made a decision:

[Lier: Do it. ]

[Muramasa: The order is still as big as before. ]

They have been investigated by others, and they don’t want to hide in the server, but want to actively hack into it to disguise

But this is indeed the style of Burger King.
