Chapter 85 NO.0054: The Difference Between Killings

The assassin was right.

Even with the help of Hecate's blessing to see the opponent's return path clearly, Liao Qi could not break through the firewall of Tartarus from the outside and continue to pursue - if it is quantified into data, there is an astronomical relationship between them. difference.

However, as Liao Qi, there was no difficulty at all in Jiang Zhou's identity.

After marking the opponent, Jiang Zhou in Tartarus used the internal port to find the returning assassin very easily.

Then, curse to kill.

The concentration of oxygen in the combat compartment rose suddenly.

Through the monitoring system, Jiang Zhou witnessed the whole process of the opponent's struggle from fierce to powerless.

Eyeballs protruding, cheeks twitching, the man beat the tempered glass of the combat cabin with a desperate look, and opened his mouth wide to let out a silent scream.

The various vital signs captured by the physiological monitoring system were gradually drawn from chaotic fluctuations to a dead flat line. However, under Jiang Zhou's control, the machine's security system and alarm system never responded.

Jiang Zhou looked very nervous, because this was the first person who died at his hands, not at the hands of Liao Qi.

Moreover, compared to the clean and neat solution in reality, the person in front of him died slowly and painfully.

Could it be that big of a difference?

Feeling the complex emotions dizzy in his heart like ink, Jiang Zhou couldn't help sighing.

Liao Qi, who used to live a life of licking blood at the bottom of the street, would not feel too much emotional fluctuations when it comes to killing people—as long as they kill the bad guys he knows.

And when he was manipulating Liao Qi's body to kill people, he had never felt any confusion or turmoil. It's as if it's just something in life that I don't like, but sometimes I have to do.

But right now, when I curse and kill the other party as Jiang Zhou, even if the other party is my enemy, even if the other party seems to me to be more than innocent... But after seeing the struggle and pain of that person before his death, Jiang Zhou still feels Intense restlessness and panic.

For a while, I even fell into the question of constantly questioning myself, "Is there really no other way?"

Of course, from a rational point of view, the person in front of him had to be killed—after confirming that the other party was unwilling to cooperate with him, it was impossible for Jiang Zhou to let him go back alive and report the information he knew to Ye Qian.

However, being able to make rationally correct choices without hesitation does not mean that he can immediately accept his behavior emotionally. After all, in the past nearly thirty years of his life, even in the darkest moments of his life, Jiang Zhou has never regarded killing as a means of solving problems.

And in this era when human life is so trivial, as Jiang Zhou, he needs time and experience to slowly accept this change.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhou couldn't help sighing—sure enough, a person's self-awareness, or soul, is ultimately determined by his material body and his social relationship.

Even if you are manipulating two physical bodies, even if your mind is interconnected. I have different feelings about the same thing.

But even so, Jiang Zhou still did not choose to use the "puppet circuit" to edit out his emotions at the moment.

In his view, that is an irresponsible escape.

In the end, Jiang Zhou called out the identity information of the assassin who was comatose and convulsed due to pure oxygen poisoning, and was helplessly dying.

At least, he wants to know the name of the person he personally killed.

Xuanyan-27, the network security officer of the third deep submersible warehouse, a person who is born to adjust network warfare to specialization...

At the end of the file information, there is a line of remarks: Heiyu Gene Editing Studio's fourth-generation trial product.

Black Feather Gene Editing Studio? Is it the scientific research organization that invented the technology of innately adjusting human genetic modification?

Jiang Zhou vaguely remembered that both the Raven and the Black Falcon seemed to be models of this studio, and maybe the Aconitum was also. And after this scientific research organization got rid of its destruction, the remaining researchers were absorbed by several Olympus companies such as Pluto Deep Dive and Apollo Biology.

From this point of view, these companies are still continuing the mass production project of natural adjustment people?

After remembering the name, Jiang Zhou took his control from the network combat pod while thinking about it.

And about two minutes after he left, the security guard who patrolled here found the body in the combat cabin.

After a preliminary investigation, the hacker at the level of a "fraudster" died of oxygen poisoning - the main control computer mistakenly identified Xuanyan-27 as another adjuster, thus increasing the oxygen concentration. At the same time, the combat compartment malfunctioned due to a system loophole. The life monitoring device failed, and the emergency avoidance device was locked and could not be opened from the inside due to the failure.

After that, due to various reasons, this trivial matter did not attract the attention of the big shots in the company. Therefore, the death of Xuanyan-27 was finally regarded as a simple safety accident, which was written into the company's future safety textbooks, and no large-scale and detailed investigation was conducted.

On the other side, Jiang Zhou, who had finished all this, opened his eyes from the single ward in the medical department that smelled like disinfectant.

Sitting up suddenly, he pulled off the data cable of the brain-computer interface on his occipital bone.

During this period of time, those technicians under Fanny kept asking Jiang Zhou to connect to the Internet every day to stimulate and guide the Hongqiao brain area to generate specific synaptic connections. According to them, if a solid foundation is laid now, he has the potential to become a "wizard" level hacker in the future.

And the best way to lay the foundation is to intuitively experience the feeling of being washed away by massive amounts of information.

Because of this, Jiang Zhou got the opportunity to browse the company's intranet and some parts of the World Wide Web every day-in fact, this vaguely made him feel uneasy. If he really has the potential to become a "wizard" hacker, they are currently training themselves like this. Could it be that he doesn't intend to let himself leave Tartarus.

But for things like brain mutations, which can be known from a photo, it doesn't make any sense even if you hide your clumsiness. In this way, it is better to take advantage of this window period that will not exist again in the future to quickly improve yourself and strengthen your own strength, which can be regarded as saving more chips for yourself.

In short, with this mentality, Jiang Zhou roamed in the Tartarus LAN during this period of time, strengthening his strength without any concealment.

Of course, the other party didn't install any hacking plug-ins for him - this was to prevent him from making any big news on the company's intranet.

They have considered it quite thoroughly, but... it can only be said that they failed to consider the possibility that "Theseus" would receive the blessing of the goddess of the moon and use it to replace the hacker plug-in. Negligence at work.

Jumping off the bed, Jiang Zhou bent down and pressed his knees to breathe for a long time - at this moment he looked as weak as if he ran 1,200 meters desperately during the physical examination when he was a student.

As the survival engine of human beings, the brain is the largest energy consumer in the human body. Like Jiang Zhou's "curse killing" Xuanyan-27 before, it is indeed a very exhausting thing.

After returning to the basic reality, Jiang Zhou felt a surge of fatigue. It took him a long time to recover, and he slowly moved his steps towards the dormitory.

Of course, although his steps were heavy, his mood was relatively relaxed at the moment.

After all, from Jiang Zhou's point of view, the hacking path opened by using the blessing of the goddess of the moon will not leave any traces-so, as long as the incident is not too noisy, then no matter how you say it, it will not leave any traces. Do not doubt yourself.

Thinking so, Jiang Zhou opened the door of the ward.

A girl with light green wavy long flowing hair, a pomegranate seed-shaped stud on her right ear, and pale skin almost transparent appeared at the door, meeting his eyes.

That was the head of the medical department, Perse Fanny.

Since she took him away from Ye Qian a week ago, this was the first time Jiang Zhou saw her.

"Hello, Theseus."

There was no superfluous expression on Fanny's face, and her tone of voice was as direct as her expression.

"I want to talk to you about your hacker talent."

As she spoke, she tiptoed slightly, looking over Jiang Zhou's shoulder to the network interface on the hospital bed.

"Can I come in and talk?"

She said so, but her tone didn't sound like she was discussing with him.
