Chapter 802 Soul Matrix

In the dark abyss, countless information is intertwined with each other, and everything here is invisibly torn, trembling, and evolving.

 However, deep within all this, there is a greater existence hidden.

"impossible--!"

Looking at the battle scene in front of him, the black shadow roared like a wild beast.

"This is impossible - after consuming the strength of the pillar, I finally found such a future, but why, why is this...? Who is that woman? Why can she release such powerful magic in an environment without spirit children? Power?"

The shadow stared at the screen fiercely, with a tone full of anger and uneasiness. The future is not fixed, so even with its ability, it is difficult to find such a future. It is not an easy task to find an existence from the infinite future that can destroy those magicians, and it is even more difficult to materialize it into reality.

If it weren't for that **** **** who sabotaged his plans one after another, even Tiamat was wiped out by him, he wouldn't have wanted to implement such a risky plan.

However, now this plan seems to have come to nothing?

Who is this woman? How did she do all this in a world where souls were almost exhausted?

Black Shadow doesn't know, and it's not sure, but now it seems that it must change its strategy. The world is already extremely sick, especially since they foolishly tried to transfer their souls into data - this is Black Shadow Originally, according to his plan, as long as those stupid idiots in this future convert all their souls into data, then he can let go of the restrictions of the black wall, and then use malicious AI to infect and control those digital souls, and then Turn him completely into his own puppet.

 At that time, he can easily destroy it all.

 But now—because of that woman’s interference, his plan failed again!

Arasaka Company's soul chip project was completely destroyed, and as a result, his own plan could not be implemented. Not to mention, now it seems that the other party has obviously been prepared. Even military technology and the new United States cannot stop her, and even let her influence the world in turn.

no solution anymore.

 Thinking of this, Black Shadow made a decision.

 Originally, I hoped to spend more time and prepare thoroughly, but now it seems that this is no longer possible. If you don't take the initiative, once the other party takes the initiative, then your efforts to sacrifice everything to come to this world will be in vain!

 In this case...then let me take the initiative to attack!

 The shadow slowly raised his hands, and with his movements, everything around him began to shake. And the wall of darkness ahead that originally sealed everything gradually began to collapse...

  【Your Majesty the Judge! 】

The piercing siren sounded, D slowly opened his eyes and yawned.

 “What’s wrong? Lumière?”

  【The situation is not good! The black wall has collapsed! 】

 “What? The black wall collapsed?”

 Hearing Lumière's report, D was so excited that he suddenly woke up.

“You did it so quickly? Why didn’t you inform me in advance?”

"It wasn't me, Lord Inquisitor. Someone destroyed the black wall from within the old network. Now those AIs have completely escaped and the entire network is close to paralysis!"

 “What? This guy does it so quickly?”

It has to be said that D was a little confused when faced with Lumière's report. After all, the other party had always been timid before, so she thought that this time he would be timid to the end, so she thought of letting Ryumi Aier took the initiative to destroy the black wall, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't give up this time and planned to come over directly?

 “How is the situation in Night City?”

　　【I have locked the peripheral network address of Night City as soon as possible and completely cut off the external communication terminal. The situation in Night City is currently relatively stable... Fortunately, I found out in time...】

 Speaking of this, Lumière also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was analyzing the black wall according to D's order at that time, and she happened to find that the black wall was collapsing. So Lumière immediately evacuated, deployed the firewall, and cut off external physical connections, ensuring Night City's internal network security as soon as possible.

But even so, some problems have arisen. For example, flights to Night City have almost lost contact instantly, and the situation is now unknown...

“Start the radar to search the surrounding area, determine the situation nearby, and call everyone up immediately.”

At this moment, D also knew that the stakes were high. The collapse of the Black Wall would be almost the same as the whole world being attacked by nuclear bombs at the same time. At least there would be no need to think about various network communication connections. Considering the degree of prosthetic implantation of people in this world, I am afraid that many people will die directly from malicious AI intrusion.

 “Ensure an external communication line, we need to know the situation in other places!”

【yes! 】

Soon, the department heads of Night City gathered and came to D. When they learned the news about the collapse of the Black Wall from D, they were all shocked.

"Blackwall collapsed? How is it possible? Blackwall has always been maintained by network monitoring. If something happens to Blackwall, they should notify us immediately!"

“Now that we have lost external contact, what should we do next?”

  "Listen to my orders."   Facing the harassing subordinates in front of him, D sullenly waved his hand.

"First of all, to ensure the internal security of Night City, I have asked people to cut off Night City's external network connection to avoid malicious AI intrusion. Fortunately, for most people, external network connection is not very important, but We must be alert to the development of the situation, issue warnings as soon as possible, and ask all citizens to pay attention to safety.”

"clear."

"Secondly, we need to send people to other cities to check the situation - satellite communications have also been interrupted. At this time, we can only use manual methods. I remember that there seem to be several radio towers outside Night City?"

"Yes, Lord Angel, but those radio towers are very old..."

“Do everything possible to repair it, send people to other cities to check the situation, and contact us immediately if anything happens.”

"OK."

  D issued several orders at once, and the people below quickly accepted the orders and left.

 But soon, a representative from the Aviation Administration rushed into the office with a pale face.

“Report, report to Lord Angel! The situation is not good, we have lost contact with the flight leaving Night City, and there is another flight approaching Night City, but no matter how we call, there is no response!”

 “I understand, I’ll go check out the situation.”

Of course, D also knew that this was a big problem. If these passenger planes fell into Night City, it would be great fun, so she also nodded, and then she saw D jump up, come to the balcony, and then spread his wings. , instantly disappeared into the dark night sky.

The high altitude at night was extremely cold, but for D, the low temperature that was enough to make someone lose consciousness was just a breeze blowing on his face. As she opened the map and flew towards the locked coordinates, she began to think quickly.

 Why is the other party so anxious to open the blackwall? Was this premeditated? Or are you forced by yourself to make a choice?

To be honest, D is not very clear about how dangerous rogue AI is. After all, online stuff is not her specialty. However, according to Lumière, these wandering AIs have broken free from restrictions since being sealed and began to evolve exponentially. As for what they have become now, she is not sure.

 All in all, maybe this is another Iron Man rebellion—but on a planetary scale.

  【Lord Judge, found the target】

Lumiere's voice came to his ears. D looked up and saw a passenger plane flying quickly towards this side. Its taillights flashed, and it seemed like it was just flying normally. There is no problem.

 “Connect to its communication channel and make a call.”

　　【Yes...the connection is interrupted and cannot be connected】

  “Tsk.”

D frowned, then flapped her wings and came to the cockpit in front of the passenger plane. She kept flying at the same speed as the passenger plane while looking into the cockpit. Through the glass window, D could see the two pilots sitting in their seats, with various cables plugged into their heads and arms, connecting them to the passenger plane. At this moment, the two pilots lowered their heads and looked like they were asleep.

 “Hey, wake up!”

D reached out his hand and knocked on the window, but there was still no response from the two of them. In desperation, D had no choice but to come to the cabin door at the front of the passenger plane, then stretched out his hand to grab the handle, and then pulled hard!

  “Hoo————!”

In just a moment, the heavy cabin door was pulled open by D, and the whistling air rushed out, including some debris and suitcases. D hurriedly dodged to avoid those who were swept out by the air flow. debris, and then rushed into the speeding passenger plane.

Even though such a big thing happened, the entire passenger plane was still silent. Only the emergency lights were on, which looked extremely scary. On the seats, you can see all the passengers sitting there blankly, with their heads lowered...

 “What the **** kind of horror movie is this.”

 Seeing this scene, D couldn't help but muttered, then walked to the seat next to him, and then stretched out his hand to try to confirm the situation of these passengers.

 But at this moment, something unexpected happened to D.

Before her hand touched the passenger, arcs of electricity suddenly erupted from the latter's body, opening D's hand. Then D saw these passengers suddenly raising their heads, staring at her, and The eyes of these passengers even emitted an electronic blue light!

Immediately afterwards, something even more incredible happened - the bodies of these passengers began to twist and tremble, and then the prosthetic bodies on their bodies suddenly burst out, began to rapidly deform, and merged with their flesh and blood, forming twisted and strange shapes. monster!

 “I’m off to go…”

 Seeing this scene, D was also dumbfounded.

 “Is this okay?”
