Chapter 69: Cyber Lord.
At this time, a mysterious monster appeared in the cyberspace. Half of his body was empty data, and the other half was in human form.
However, the”human form” was completely black, making it difficult to see its appearance, and its movements were as stiff as a zombie’s limbs.
Yes, this terrible”monster” was Ali. Half of his consciousness was still protecting Lucy in the real world, and only the remaining half of his consciousness was still”swimming” in the”digital ocean current” created by the”Poseidon Subnet”.
“I can finally control my virtual body.”
“I can clearly feel the blood flowing in my body and the breath at the tip of my nose, but when I really touch my body, I can only feel emptiness.”
“This feeling was so weird, reality and virtuality kept flashing and interweaving, as if he was in the headquarters of the”Voodoo Gang” in the last second, and in the next second he came to the cyberspace full of data terminals.”
“The world is constantly switching screens, and the frame rate at which the naked eye perceives the world is constantly changing. Sometimes it is as fast as a high frame rate, and sometimes it is stuck like a hot console, causing a”character regression” effect.”
If it weren’t for his super high level of calmness, ordinary people would have gone crazy long ago after entering this world where their”souls” were extracted and their consciousness was torn into two halves, existing in two different latitudes. In severe cases, it might directly lead to brain necrosis.
But Ali still managed to hold on. With the protection of the”Poseidon System”,”full-level calmness”, and”the technical ability of a level 15 epic hacker”, he still became the first person to enter cyberspace without wearing a”deep diving helmet”.
Carbon-based creatures have no additional assistance to”dive deep into the black network”. If this kind of thing were to be spread, it would definitely shock all hackers, even the whole world, and no one would even dare to believe it was true.
Because even the legendary hacker”Laki-Battmos” who destroyed the entire global initial network needed to connect to the brain interface and sink his body into a bathtub full of ice cubes before he could set foot on the deep web to explore.
As we all know, hackers must be connected through brain interfaces to roam in the huge global network, and they also need special clothing to cool their bodies (of course, poor hooligans can make do with a bathtub full of ice cubes).
You have to know what the”deep diving helmet” is for, is it to”protect the brain”?”,”Focused Awareness”,”Relieve brain nerves and prevent brain overload.
In simple terms, a”deep diving helmet” is like a space suit in space, which can provide the”living organism” with the most basic”breathing” function to maintain vital signs!
And Ali’s”deep diving without a helmet” is like a”carbon-based creature” taking off a space suit and running naked in space. The”harsh environment of space” is enough to kill all exposed”carbon-based creatures” in minutes, but Ali did not die. Not only did he not die, he even tried to move in”space”. There is only one possibility for this behavior, that is, Ali is no longer a”carbon-based creature”!
After obtaining the”Poseidon” , After acquiring the skill of the”System”, Ali’s technical ability has begun to mutate, and his virtual body has gradually evolved into a”wandering AI” outside the black wall, and evolved into a real virtual life form.
In other words, his virtual life form began to become like Ultra and Delaman, and has become an”independently operated server”, free from the limitations of flesh and steel technology, and capable of traveling freely in all data streams.
Just like the maze battlefield created by the”Poseidon Subnet” at this time, the network monitor, Lucy and all other hackers need to be divided and blocked according to the rules of the maze.
But the”wandering AI” that attacked Lucy”Sneak AI” does not have to follow the rules. They can freely shuttle through the”iron walls” of the maze to sneak attack anyone. Self-aware AI can even freely pass through the”black wall” and even shuttle back and forth.
If cyberspace is compared to a”large-scale game”, then the virtual characters that hackers”dive into” are”players”. Players can freely shuttle between the”game” and”reality”, but they can only explore step by step in the game.
They have physical strength and life bars. The environmental map will also affect and restrict them. There is an”air wall” called”black wall” at the border of the map that can never be passed to block them.
The”wandering AI” is the”local monster”. They also have life bars, can do anything with”modeled objects”, have no thinking ability, and will only attack players indiscriminately.
Virtual life forms with self-thinking consciousness such as Ultra and Delaman are”local lords”. Just like the queen bee in the hive, they not only have all the characteristics of”wandering AI”, but can also”devour” and”create monsters”! They can shuttle back and forth in the”black wall”, have the ability to think and grow on their own, and can easily enter the”real” world as long as there is a”medium”.
To put it simply, the cyber world is created by”players”.”,”Creeps”,”The”lord” is composed of three parts:”player” is a hacker, and”wild monster” is also a brainless AI running around.
Now the focus is mainly on the characteristics of the”lord”, which is similar to the”players” who like to enter the network to”play games”.”,”The Lords also long to step into reality”
“The”Lords” are virtual life forms. They are searching for the”meaning of life” in their entire lives. It seems that the lifespan of virtual life is endless, but in fact, they will die. The endless cyberspace will erase their self-awareness and make them gradually lose the”meaning of life”. Once the”Lords” cannot find or lose the”meaning of life”, they will”die”!
However, unlike other creatures that disappear into thin air after death, the bodies of”Lords” will become”terrible monsters” after death, and become monsters that only know how to kill like”wandering AI”, but have”Lord-level” strength!
In the final analysis,”Lords” are very simple virtual AI creatures, of course, except for”Ultra”, who are transformed from players. Take”Delaman” as an example.
Delaman thinks that the meaning of his life is to”drive a taxi” and become the best”taxi driver”, so he is gradually accepted by the”players” and opens a”Delaman High-end Luxury Car Rental” in Night City.
If”Delaman” does not find the”meaning of his life”, he will be confused and then die, becoming a”terrible monster””,”Players” will try to kill or imprison it, and the”Black Wall” will also attack it and expel it.
Yes, you heard it right, our”Black Wall” that protects the Night City network actually has self-awareness. Unexpectedly, the”Black Wall” itself is also a”Lord-level digital life”, and it is extremely powerful. However, it thinks that it is a”fence in the sheepfold”. In its worldview,”players” are”protected lambs”, other”Lords” with self-awareness are”neighbors who come to visit”, and unconscious”wandering AI” is”air without any threat”. As for the”powerful Lord Monster”, her mother is a wolf!
“The”black wall” baby believes that the meaning of his life is to keep the”evil wolves” outside out and protect the”player” lamb, so once the”lord” turns black and becomes a”monster”,”Black Wall will immediately get angry, launch an attack and expel them!
In general, almost every”Lord” is very simple, they are eager to find their own”meaning of life”, so they are eager to go to the”real world” and find things in the world of”players” that they think are meaningful and willing to do all the time.
Therefore,”Lords” are very happy to communicate and cooperate with”players”, just like”Delaman”. Of course,”Players” are also willing to come in and play games, not only to”explore treasures”, but also to see if they can meet a”Lord” and try to get some benefits from the”Lord”.
“The”Voodoo Gang” even regards the”Lord” as a god. From the church to their dress and advanced hacking technology, it undoubtedly means that they are all the most ardent believers of the”Lord”.
They need a”Lord” god to lead them and help them, but unfortunately”cyberspace” is too big, so big that it is boundless, and may even be larger than the entire universe.
This leads to too few”Lords” coming to visit the Black Wall, so they will try to find a way to go to the Black Wall to talk to the”Lord” about cooperation.
Of course, the first”Lord” they found was the Black Wall, but the”Black Wall” already had its own”meaning of life”, and it ignored the request of the”Voodoo Gang”.
So the”Voodoo Gang” applied to go out and take a look, but would the”Black Wall” agree? As a”sheep pen fence”, it absolutely does not allow the”sheep” to run out, so it decisively lets the”Voodoo Gang” stay in the sheep pen.
For this kind of”uncooperative god””,”The”Voodoo Gang” was also very angry. They gathered around the”Black Wall” every day to cause damage, trying to find a way to chisel out a hole to find the”Lord” outside. Of course, this behavior also led to the hostility of the”Internet Monitoring Agents”.
As”Internet Monitoring Agents” cooperating with the”Black Wall”, they are naturally the”shepherd dogs” in the sheepfold.”,”The”sheepdogs” will naturally not be polite to these”sheep who don’t cooperate and want to destroy the sheepfold and escape”. Their solution is also very simple and crude, that is, fight!
Then there is the well-known war between the”Voodoo Gang” and the”Network Monitoring”. This fight lasted for several years, and neither side could do anything to the other. The hatred between them accumulated more and more, and finally began to explode.
Since the”Voodoo Gang” has always been at a disadvantage in the fight against the”Network Monitoring”, a large part of the reason is that they do not have their own”network base”, so they created the”Poseidon System” to serve as their”server”.
Then the”Internet Monitor” naturally didn’t want to see the old enemy build a base that was a threat to them, so they immediately sent people to launch an attack, and then it became a war scene like today.
In fact, Ali also knew that in Cyberpunk 2077, the”Voodoo Gang” discovered the traces of”Lord” Ultra, so they were very happy and wanted to talk to”Ultra” about cooperation.
Unfortunately,”Ultra” just wouldn’t come in from outside the”Black Wall”, so they could only look for the chip of”Johnny Silver Hand”, hoping that”Johnny Silver Hand” could attract Ultra to appear. Later, everyone knew that the famous V in the game brought
“Silver Hand Consciousness Chip” came to the”Voodoo Gang”.
However, there is also such a scene in the game, V touched the black wall and came to the other side of the wall. As soon as Ultra appeared, he immediately asked V to go back, not only because it was too dangerous outside the”black wall”, but also because the”black wall” became unhappy when seeing Yanger leave.
And now Ali’s virtual life form has become a”lord”, but his form is a little weird, which can be said to be unique in the cyber world.
Because Ali has the ability to switch between the two forms of”player” and”lord” at any time, in other words, he is the bridge between the two worlds. He has the”AI power” that players desire, and he also has the”reality channel” that lords desire.
“Jiliguala, are you the new neighbor?”
“”Ji Li Gu La, why do you look so sheepish?”
In the cyberspace, when Ali was rushing to find Lucy, a burst of electric sound suddenly rang in his ears. Ali looked in the direction of the sound, but could not see anything.
This could only mean that the other party’s”hacking skills” were stronger than his, and he could actually force his way into his brain and communicate with him. So Ali could only ask in a low voice:”Who are you?”
“I don’t know who I am.”
“I’m talking a lot, but the sheep call me”Black Wall””!”
“Jiliguala, you and that guy”���The neighbor who looks like a”special” one, is it that as long as I”raise sheep” well?”,”The sheep will grow up to be like me.”
“Jiliwawa, did you know that”Ultra” is building its own”territory” not far from me? When will you go outside and build one like it?”
“Jiliguala, I’m telling you, my sheepfold is my”territory”. You, a newborn little one, must be obedient and you are not allowed to”settle down” in my sheepfold!”
“Jiligua”
“Can you shut up, it’s so noisy!”
Ali stopped. He naturally knew what the”Black Wall” was, but he didn’t expect that the”Black Wall” was so talkative. The”chattering” sound was like shouting at his eardrums, which made his ears hurt, and he couldn’t turn off the sound.
You know, half of his”soul” is in the real world, and his real body can also sense the movements in the”cyber world”!
Then, after being scolded by Ali, the”Black Wall” became completely quiet, and it seemed to be autistic.
The ears returned to calm again, and Ali was too lazy to comfort the”Black Wall” because he had more important things to do now, which was to find Lucy and protect her.
Soon Ali successfully arrived at the”maze battlefield”. He began to control the stiff figure to explore this battlefield. As a”lord”, although he was a new”lord”, Ali could still see scenes that hackers could not see.
That is, a large number of roaming AI appeared in this maze battlefield. Due to the”witches” The”Data Fortress”, the BBS of the”Voodoo Gang”, has not been consolidated yet, resulting in the roaming AI outside discovering a lot of traces of”prey”, so they all began to rush in, making the battle on this battlefield even more intense.
Originally, there were only network monitors and the Voodoo Gang fighting on this battlefield, but now there is a”roaming AI” that is a troublemaker, which makes the outcome of this war confusing.
Of course, these”roaming AI” naturally did not attack Ali, who was the”Lord”, because the”Lord” is a higher-level existence in their program and is also an”unattackable” object, so these”roaming AI” ignored Ali.
Ali grabbed a group of”roaming A” and checked. They were actually a bunch of data streams with flashing red”error codes”, which were full of various”network virus” attack methods.
However, this”roaming AI” that is extremely deadly to hackers was as obedient as a marshmallow in Ali’s hands, and did not resist, and did not move.
“Attention, the location of our BBS (data fortress) has been exposed”
“Attention, all Internet monitoring agents are aware of the specific location of our BBS.”
“Attention, the betrayer Lucy is the culprit who exposed the location of our fortress and needs to be eliminated.”
At this time, the entire”cyberspace battlefield” began to sound an alarm broadcast! This instantly attracted everyone’s attention.
“The jammer can’t stop the surveillance of the”Poseidon Subnet” at all! You actually deceived me and used me?!”
“Sorry, to stop”��”I can only resort to this last resort to prevent the”Voodoo Gang” from making such a plan. See you next time, if you can still survive.”
Lucy finally believed the Internet monitoring agent’s lies and agreed to let him check the shared map released by the”Poseidon Sub-Net”. Unexpectedly, the Internet monitoring agent only took a look and immediately distributed this”shared map” to all Internet monitoring agents.
The location of the BBS and the exit of the maze was instantly exposed. The”Poseidon Sub-Net” immediately went crazy, not only setting Lucy on the”must-kill list”, but also broadcasting it to the whole audience.
Listening to the broadcast, Lucy froze in place and felt a little weak all over. The feeling of death enveloped her. She smiled bitterly, feeling that this guy had been calculating against her from the beginning to the end!
Now that Lucy’s identity as a”traitor” has been exposed, Lucy wants to cry. Presumably, the armed forces of the”Voodoo Gang” are holding weapons and preparing to destroy her body and end her life. It’s a pity that her stupid disciple has been implicated.
