The Death Knell

Having said that, in the past, those who dared to resist the Arasaka Group and were finally killed by the Soul Killer were often capable people in all aspects.

After all, if he was a little scumbag, he would have been beaten to death by Arasaka soldiers long ago, and he would not have had the chance to be captured alive, interrogated, and then executed.

Therefore, those personality imprints that carry their memories and skills and experiences during their lifetime, if stolen and swallowed up by Ultra, can be said to be "eating one and not telling", which is a real tonic.

This is like the electronic version of devouring. Ultra was originally just a genius hacker, but after devouring many personalities, no one can guess what abilities she has now.

And this is the scariest thing about floating AI, which is that these crazy programs can continue to learn, and then use higher computing power, more energy, and higher productivity to crush the humans who created them.

If they may have a weakness, it is probably that they have little innovation ability, and they are not good at conspiracy and conspiracy.

Simple strategies can still work, but when it comes to people's hearts, they may not work, because humans sometimes do things that are contrary to logic, which is a disaster for logical creatures like AI.

Lark still took the time to research about Ultra during this period. After leaving her own cage, she was free to fly. In the past, she was prohibited from accessing a lot of information, but now no one can stop her. Went to watch.

Because of this, she was well prepared, including how she would react after Ultra took the bait.

But the most important thing is to ensure Johnny's survival first. If his digital personality is eaten by Ultra, he will never survive again.

After hearing her concerns, Johnny was silent for a moment and quickly shook his head:

"I believe Ultra will not harm me."

The feelings are there. Anyway, Johnny's impression of Ultra is still stuck on that day in 2023.

"You can't think like that, the logic of AI is different from that of us humans." Lark emphasized again, and her tone became a little more serious: "Maybe she will think that it is for your own good to devour you and merge with her? "

"You also said, it's just maybe." Johnny stretched out. He held his arms and walked a few steps, leaning on the pillar supporting the second floor. His body collided with the building, and the numbers appeared. A ripple: "I think Deathstroke should have considered these issues. He may have prepared a backup plan."

"Well, this is true. I still don't quite understand the method he used to rescue me."

It was Lark who was persuaded. As expected, Johnny was more experienced and seemed to be more forgiving.

This is also normal. Lark has just gained freedom, so she wants to live well, so naturally she has more concerns; and Johnny wants to save Ultra, and he would rather die without Ultra, so even if he knows there is danger, he is willing to take risks , and pinned their hopes on the mysterious mercenary.

The same thing, because they look at it from different angles, the two people have different judgments, which is quite interesting.

"Okay, I don't quite understand what you're going to do next, but I'm going to yell like what Deathstroke told me." Johnny reached out and touched his belly, as if he felt that something was missing: "But if you want me to scream like SB, I can't do it. Can you get me a guitar?"

"This is simple." Lark nodded. She pointed at Johnny, and there was a guitar hanging around his neck. It was the same one that Roger sold: "I watched some videos of your previous performances. , the model of this guitar is an exact replica of the real thing, you can try it.”

Needless to say, Johnny certainly knew his guitar. Whether it was weight or size, it was exactly the same as before, but it felt a little colder to the touch.

He played a short melody casually, making sure that no tuning was needed, and nodded to the hacker nestled on the sofa:

"My old man is so damn good, give me some speakers and some lights, I'm gonna rock out!"

Johnny Silverhand couldn't howl at the top of his lungs, but when the music started, he could scream harder than anyone else, as if someone was skinning him alive.

At the same time, Su Ming, who was leaning next to the Mikoshi host, was peeping. The body of Johnny, who had lost his soul, stood beside him like a dummy.

As for the conversation between Lark and Johnny in the cyberspace, there was no way it could be hidden from the lieutenant. Now the scene in the blue house-like cyberspace was being projected in front of the police chief by the silver-haired girl. .

When Johnny started playing and singing, she deliberately turned down the volume because she knew the Sheriff didn't like this kind of loud and rebellious music too much.

As the Supreme Master of Kama Taj, even if the Sheriff usually listens to music, it is Suzhou Pingtan and Jingyun Dagu, not to mention that he rarely listens to these two.

What he prefers is the so-called 'dramatic silence', which is a person sitting silently and thinking in a quiet and lightless space.

What about listening to music? Maybe three or four times a year, maybe once during the Kama Taj Spring Festival Party, Gin, Diana and the others when they want to dance, maybe dance music also counts?

"How about it?"

While watching Johnny's performance, Su Ming asked his lieutenant.

"The existence of cyberspace is somewhat interesting, but not much."

The adjutant did not project herself, but her voice sounded in the man's ears:

"Chief, you can create a real space, and this digital space is a bit underwhelming. The energy level in it is not high, and it is far worse than the quantum realm that Ant-Man often explores."

The technological level of this world is still lower than that of the Marvel Universe.

"What do you think Ott will be like when she sees Johnny? Will she try to eat him?" Su Ming took a puff of cigarette and flicked the ashes to the side, looking calm and relaxed.

"This kind of speculation has no practical significance, because as long as I am around, even if Otto wants to eat, it is impossible for him to eat it. No, to be precise, it is impossible for him to take a bite of Johnny."

The adjutant's own firewall is much more powerful than the blackwall, and the most critical problem is that in the past, her algorithm program was not binary, but Cybertronian language.

It has been trillions of years since the birth of the Cybertronians. No alien creature has ever been able to hack into the matrix firewall of Cybertron. The deputy has followed the Sheriff to many worlds, and there is still no such opponent. .

The adjutant has not seen the wandering AI here yet, but she doesn't believe that Ultra can be stronger than Ultron? What's more, even Ultron is just a little Karami to her now.

"Okay, as long as you are confident, I want to catch the fish, but the bait cannot be eaten." Su Ming always believed in the adjutant's ability. He nodded with satisfaction: "Get ready. After capturing Ultra, you have to treat her Operation, make her resurrected exactly like the Ultra that Johnny knew."

"No problem, I've already prepared the anti-virus and burning, and the lark won't notice anything."

After the adjutant finished speaking, he laughed "huhu", obviously looking forward to it.
