The news of the high-ranking government officials' speech caused a huge stir in Night City.

Citizens were discussing and speculating whether what these high-ranking officials said was true.

For a time, the Ascension Network was pushed to the forefront.

However, despite the discussion, a large number of citizens still began to connect to the Ascension Network.

After all, this is Night City, and not many people will only listen to the words of these government officials.

The upgrade program of Ascension Technology is spreading in various places in Night City.

A large number of hackers bypassed the shielding to bring out the upgrade program and spread it through various channels.

This new network has already been used by a large number of Night City citizens.

The same network billing, but better communication services than the original city network.

The communication connection is also more stable and secure.

Gradually, many citizens of Night City began to use the Ascension Network as a communication bridge.

And the speeches of these senior officials were questioned by more and more people.

......

Night City Municipal Hall.

"Minister Miffel, are you sure you want to submit this proposal?"

In an office, a secretary in a business suit received the proposal information sent by Minister Miffel.

Miffel, the Minister of Administration of Night City, is also one of the members of the Night City Council.

The Night City Council is one of the ruling institutions of Night City, composed of one hundred members.

They are executives from various departments of Night City and officials from major companies.

The Night City Council and the mayor jointly manage Night City, and many of the mayor's proposals also need to be approved by the Night City Council before they can be implemented.

It can be said that the Night City Council is the most core power institution in the entire Night City.

Miffel is a member of the council.

At the same time, he is also one of the senior officials who spoke out against the Ascension Network.

What he submitted was a motion about Ascension Technology.

The motion mentioned that the Ascension Network under Ascension Technology has great security risks.

It should be listed as a dangerous project, prohibited from being deployed and used in Night City, and Ascension Technology is required to immediately close the access to the Ascension Network.

Obviously, this is a motion against the Ascension Network.

Simply publishing a few paragraphs is not a way to really sanction Ascension Technology.

Miffel also knew this, so he wrote this motion.

Let the Night City government recognize the illegality of the Ascension Network.

In this way, Night City will truly resist the Ascension Network and have the right to take action against it.

And connecting to the Ascension Network will also become an illegal activity.

In this way, the Ascension Network can be truly suppressed.

"Okay, I will help you submit this motion."

The secretary nodded without asking any more questions.

Soon, the motion was submitted.

The routine meeting of the Night City Council three days later will decide whether this motion will be passed.

Shortly after the proposal was submitted, someone called into Miffel's phone.

The caller was the mayor of Night City, Lucius Ryan.

"Miffel, Councillor, I just saw the proposal you submitted. I want to know why you are so opposed to the Ascension Network."

Mayor Ryan said with some curiosity.

Ryan was originally a member of the Night City Council, just like Miffel now.

His father worked in Arasaka, and his mother was a network monitoring officer.

In the Unification War in 2069, he was responsible for leading Night City against the New United States of America.

It was also he who facilitated Arasaka's entry into Night City and provided weapons for Night City to maintain its independence.

In the end, he was elected mayor of Night City for this reason.

It can be said that Mayor Ryan is an official close to Arasaka.

So he did not object to the new project of Ascension Technology, Arasaka's nominal partner.

After all, Arasaka has not expressed its position yet.

But he was a little curious about the sudden fierce opposition of several councillors led by Miffel to the Ascension Network.

As the mayor, he had rich experience and noticed something wrong.

So he called to ask Miffel what was going on.

Facing Ryan's inquiry, Miffel seemed a little impatient.

"As one of the members of the parliament, I have the right to submit a bill.

As for why I am against Ascension Technology, I think I have written the specific reasons in the bill. I believe you don't need me to repeat it to you again."

Miffel's answer made Mayor Ryan silent.

A moment.

"Then follow the procedure." Ryan replied.

Obviously Miffel didn't want to reveal the real reason.

They are all people in the political field, and Ryan is not a fool.

He certainly wouldn't believe that this guy would resist the Ascension Network because of unproven safety risks and dangers that have not yet occurred.

The real reason is nothing more than a conflict of interest between the Ascension Network and him.

Miffel didn't say anything, and Ryan didn't continue to ask, so he could only hang up the phone.

After the call ended, Miffel's face became colder and colder.

His eyes flashed a blue light, and he dialed another call and said coldly.

"The mayor's control plan needs to be accelerated. This action exposed many flaws, and Ryan may have noticed it.

Ryan can't be re-elected. Immediately speed up the control of candidate Perales and push him up in the next mayoral election."

The Ascension Network completely detonated this mysterious organization hidden in the Night's Company and the Night City government.

This organization controlled and composed by AI began to gradually surface in Night City.

A motion against Ascension Technology was submitted to the Night City Council.

And these could not escape Lissandra's intelligence investigation.

.....

Ascension Technology.

Loki was checking the intelligence submitted by Lissandra.

Ever since Lissandra discovered that AI disguised itself as connecting to the Ascension Network, Loki asked her to start paying attention to these mysterious AIs in Night City.

And these AIs naturally had nowhere to hide under Lissandra's investigation.

But the scale of these AIs was far larger than Loki had imagined.

In every corner of Night City, there were people invaded by these AIs.

Some had been occupied by AI, and some were still lurking.

The hardest hit area controlled by the entire AI was the Night Company and other industries radiated by the Night Company.

Now the entire Night Company has been hollowed out by humans controlled by AI.

And this also corresponds to Loki's previous speculation.

In addition to the Night Company.

The government and parliament of Night City were also constantly eroded by these AIs.

Many councillors have been controlled, and many have been hacked, and they are not far from being completely controlled.

"It seems that the one who is against us is this mysterious AI organization."

Originally, Rocky planned to launch the Ascension Network, and he would not encounter such great resistance.

After all, their opponent is just the Pyramid Company that built the city network.
