Chapter 753 Psychological Shadow (Part 2)

In the real world, Elliot said with a smile: "Brother, I really don't know what happened. The power went out just now."

The agent glanced at Elliot, said nothing, looked around the messy room, and frowned.

Didn't it mean that this fat man bought a helmet that can climb over walls?

Elliot paused and took an unnatural step back. He just kicked the tools on the ground. The helmet hidden in the tool pile exposed a little bit of cables.

His movements were very stiff, because this operation completely revealed his most guilty conscience!

The helmet I bought from that street stall!

"How did the power outage happen?" The network surveillance agent's expression under his sunglasses did not change at all, but he was a little confused.

"I" Elliot took a hesitant step, "I bought an antique helmet from a street stall. I wanted to take it back and study it, but the power went out just after I connected it.

Sir, I really didn’t mean it, I just love technology."

The agent didn't say a word nonsense, just picked up the helmet and connected the personal link.

After a while of operation, the two agents were filled with doubts:

Programs used to scan for AI and cybercrime did not return any exceptions.

The results returned by the program showed that the power outage was indeed caused by a circuit abnormality after the helmet was connected. The source of the abnormality came from abnormal capacitors and memory particles in the chipset of the helmet access module.

These sets of short circuits caused abnormalities in the civil wiring in the fat man's room. Tiny errors accumulated together by coincidence, causing the fuse to trip.

But it's not a very rare situation, because this kind of old-fashioned helmet has many faults, and faults can easily cause abnormalities in the apartment building. Abnormalities will cause the circuit breaker to trip, and the trip will allow their network monitors to receive information.

This is strange. It said something slipped in, and the coordinates of the problem are nearby.

Who is he?

One agent was half squatting with his helmet in hand, while the other was looking around and scanning. He looked very professional, but on the network, both of them sent messages calmly:

[Network Surveillance Agent A: No abnormality found, requesting real-time support from the Dragon Hunter. 】

[Connecting to your personal prosthetic body and performing data jump]

[Dragon Hunter #0965: How is the situation? 】

[Network Supervision Agent A: The detection program showed no abnormalities. The power outage and circuit error were hardware failures of the helmet. The chipset was abnormal. 】

[Dragon Hunter #0965: Coincidence is usually the hidden appearance of AI. Is that helmet used to climb over the wall? 】

[Network Surveillance Agent A: Yes. 】

In reality, the room fell into an eerie silence.

Three people were crowded into the small room of about 20 square meters, but none of them spoke. One of them was pretending to look around, and the other was squatting and not moving.

Just when Elliot couldn't stand the silence anymore and was about to speak, he suddenly noticed a heat rising in the air!

The agent squatting in the middle suddenly deformed at the back of his neck: the skin tore, revealing a whole piece of cooling fins, and the heat rose from here!

Elliot had only seen this high-end prosthetic body in the company's marketing advertisements. Under the dim emergency lights, the status of this network surveillance agent in his mind was further improved:

This is the employee of the world's top network technology company, the defender of European barrier security, and the last wall for mankind to face the flow of AI.

What Elliot doesn't know is that the powerful network surveillance in his mind is being deceived by Lear and Muramasa——

The program implanted in advance made it impossible for the newly connected dragon hunter to discover the true time sequence between the helmet operation and the apartment network failure, completely deceiving the remote-controlled dragon hunter.

[Dragon Hunter #0965: There is indeed nothing abnormal. Take the helmet away. The engineering department needs to know about the problem of defective products. 】

[Network Surveillance Agent A: Okay. 】

"This helmet." The agent withdrew the personal link and held the thing in front of Elliot's eyes. "It didn't come from the right place. It's obviously a control device. Where did you buy it?"

"I'm on the small road back from the factory. There are often people selling black goods. Black marketers are mobile black markets."

"Illegal transaction, right?"

Elliot opened his mouth to defend, but his mouth was only slightly open, and no sound of defense came out at all.

A dazzling red message box pops up:

[To Elliot Grove ID: UK-2070-01-563829]

【Device ID: #AX-1549】

【Violation:】

[You have been found to have illegally used unauthorized equipment and connected unauthorized equipment to public service networks, endangering public network security. 】

[Illegal clause: Article 3 of Chapter 17 of the European Community’s Cybersecurity Law, unauthorized use of network access equipment]

[Based on the consequences of your illegal behavior, network supervision will punish you for your behavior]

[Amount of fine: 4000]

[Payment period: Within 5 working days, the penalty for insufficient account will be paid by your employer (the fine is supported by European banks and protected and recognized by the European Union.)]

[Overdue payment will incur a daily late payment fee of 15 euros, and your credit score will continue to be deducted. 】

[Illegal equipment will be taken away by investigators, please be sure to cooperate. 】

[In the next 7 days, you will be monitored intensively, and the monitoring period will be extended if overdue. 】

[If you have any objection to the ticket, please submit an appeal through the public safety terminal. 】

[Countdown: 7:23:59:59]

"I know, I won't do it again."

"This is best."

Elliot sat down on the chair absentmindedly. Seeing his appearance, the two agents couldn't help but make contemptuous sounds——

4,000 euros is less than half a month's salary for their network surveillance agents, but it is not easy for low-level citizens like Elliot. They are thankful to be able to save 200 euros a month in addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The agent who stopped seemed to feel that his behavior was inappropriate, or thought of something else, and said very softly:

"Work hard, we are doing this for public safety.

According to the regulations, I should fine you 8,000 euros. If your little thoughts lead to serious consequences, that would be terrible. Someone may die because of you, and you have to pay for their life.

I see that you also studied in a serious school, so don't think about these things all the time. "

Elliot sat on the bed and said absently: "Okay, brother, I understand."

The agent who spoke raised his eyebrows and turned to follow his companion.

Two network surveillance agents walked in the aisle, seeming to give this cramped and unsightly national highway a sense of style.

"Tsk, damn fat man, so damn disgusting. Who is his buddy?"

Internet monitoring employees, whether it is their skills, equipment, knowledge or even their appearance and acting style, put Elliot under tremendous pressure——

This kind of pressure is extremely complicated. On the one hand, he hates these corporate dogs who have an iron rice bowl;

But on the other hand, he was very jealous of their life

Moreover, he was afraid and afraid of them.

But today, this fear and fear has undergone a slight change:

"They. They didn't find anything?"

The agent who symbolized network surveillance and the control power of the European Union was actually deceived by him?

Their high-spirited appearance suddenly became a little ridiculous.

"Haha. Have I lied to them?"

"I deceived them! Those two idiots were deceived just like stupid pigs!"

The joy of surviving the disaster and the feeling of deceiving those in power rushed straight to the sky. The fat man rolled onto the bed like a huge meat ball, rolling crazily!

"That's awesome! As expected of someone from Night City!"

[Lille: To be precise, it has nothing to do with you. 】

[Lille: But for an A-level good citizen, you're doing pretty well. 】

[Lille: Speaking of Night City, I want to read the latest news. 】
