Chapter 563: Divided information, an unsolvable mystery
Twelve hours after the zero-point nuclear explosion.
Small-yield tactical nuclear bombs are no longer a huge problem today. The key is who uses them and where they are used.
If Military Technology and Arasaka fought on behalf of their employer in a certain sea area and put in nuclear warhead missiles, then this is an issue that can be mediated according to the process.
But if a group of terrorists magically pulled it out and detonated it in the city center, the problem is a bit complicated.
Although Night City is not a strictly controlled developed city, it is still considered a developed city. This nuclear bomb exploded in Night City today and may explode in other cities tomorrow, especially in the New America region near Night City.
So as soon as this happened, the company began to adjust its intelligence network.
[New file: Burger King’s criminal gang that buys and sells idiots and big shots]
[Activity location: Night City]
[Hereinafter referred to as the Burger Criminal Group]
[Logo: No specific logo, but be wary of every kitsch, neo-kitsch, and entropy burger logo that appears in Night City]
[Main members (using code names):]

According to feedback from the violent terrorist mobile team, he has been able to activate cyberpsychotic powers several times more than them. Speed, unknown model of Sian Westan, proficient in mobile vehicle combat, the only female (suspected). 】

Suspected team leader, proficient (super proficient) in network operations, electronic warfare, tactical formulation, nuclear energy physics, etc. and any possible technical projects. When contacting, please cooperate with a technical team of sufficient size. 】
[The degree of prostheticization is suspected to be more than 100% (there are multiple high-function additional prosthetics-extended limb categories), single prosthetic eyes, and a large number of hacker prosthetic modifications.]
[A large number of Unknown prosthetic body, model and type are unknown. 】
【Recent activities:】
Recent activities are classified as "outstanding achievements", but the information gap between different companies is too big.
Lear hammered his hammer in the east and west. When he was honest, he told gang leaders and company agents like Stout that he was going to die. His lack of honesty
The lack of honesty was too critical. Especially when companies try to trace the entire When criminal gangs left data remnants during their operations in Night City
they found that many things were problematic. First of all, the data link in the Cyberspace of Night City was missing, or they might have used the data they had obtained from the cyberspace. Use unseen secret methods to hide.
This phenomenon does not only exist when they are tracking down Burger King, but also in traffic lights and power supply grids
Data is missing in too many places, and there are data links that cannot be traced and restored in too many places. , it is easy to associate these anomalies with the AI that just made a big fuss in the city, and the Ye Group that was just attacked inexplicably.
Burger King's intelligence is like being partially swallowed by a black hole, making it difficult for the company to make more specific judgments; but the problem is that there are other things falling into the black hole, and there is no way to directly define it: the data black hole was created by Burger King.
Because of the fictitious style and the existence of data black holes, as well as the fact that major companies with first-hand information do not communicate with each other and even have their own ideas, their intelligence and description of Lille will always be Unstereoscopic, distorted, and shrouded in a veil.
For example, Kangtao, they knew that the Sianwei Stan on V was theirs, but other companies did not know.
For example, in military technology, they know that Lear has absorbed a lot of technology from them, such as centaur mechas and drones
But to be honest, even the senior military technology executives themselves are not complete with these things. Clearly, only Stout knows.
Another example is Arasaka and Network Monitor. They knew that the battle in the Tiger Claw Gang was not only against Jotaro Masaho and the deputy director of NCPD. The two companies also had a battle in cyberspace, a battle between Black Wall and Soul Killer.
There is also Biotechnology, which was taken advantage of at the beginning. Others will never know what Burger King stole. They don't know that the lizard people actually have nothing to do with biotechnology.
If these intelligences are spliced together, intelligence work will be better advanced, but how can companies share intelligence?
So at this time, these high-ranking companies found...
It was a bit tricky.
Every company that has ever been in contact with Burger King, every company that once thought it was just a few short-lived mercenaries, has changed its mind:
This criminal gang has had strict information security from the beginning. Every seemingly brutal and reckless crime is likely to have careful thinking, and they have been hiding it from the beginning.
And today, after they did something outrageous and exerted some influence on Night City, the company can no longer track them, and the mystery cannot be revealed at all.
Twelve hours have passed since the nuclear explosion. Military Technology was the first to send a team to follow up, but all they got was the corpse on the first floor——
Susan Forrest drove The aerial vehicle, carrying an entire military technology action team, arrived at the origin of the signal explosion, the Batty Hotel, under the guidance of the drone.
They now know why the Voodoo Gang did not stop them from entering Taiping State:
It turns out that these people are all dead. Brigitte sat on the hacker chair and kept shaking, and the amplitude of the shaking was rapidly decreasing——
The unstable strong current will make people's muscles contract intermittently, creating a There is an epileptic tremor, but the high-intensity current will kill the muscle cells, causing the muscle fibers to gradually lose activity and stop moving.
At the same time, the current will also accumulate heat in the human body, eventually turning the black man in front of him into coke.
Yes, the voodoo gang in the hacker chair has been reduced to blackened mush from the neck up.
Susan reached out and unplugged the cables from Brigitte's body, scanning all the interfaces on site.
But her prosthetic eye always has a strange black and red mosaic.
[Lark: If I were you, I wouldn't try to touch those interfaces. 】
[Lark: It’s a trace of the circulating AI. I heard that the Voodoo Gang is a group of idiots who like to break through the black wall. It seems that they have successfully broken through the black wall. 】
[Lark: Or maybe our three internationally wanted criminals sold the captured AI. It seems they found a buyer outside of network surveillance? 】
[Lark: If this is the case, the AI is probably back to wandering state again. 】
Lark’s tone was full of uncertainty, but it was indeed a possibility.
Burger King must have captured an AI. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the flowing AI that appeared in the second half of the Extreme Metal Race was the Flow AI, and this AI lost.
This is easy to confirm: Ryan has personally confirmed that it was the work of the rogue AI.
Therefore, in the eyes of Military Technology and other unsuspecting companies, Burger King must have another purpose in doing this work: to catch rogue AI, and the client for this kind of task is usually network surveillance.
However, after the racing competition, Burger King suddenly broke out and kidnapped Mrs. Peralez, and attacked Ryan and Congressman Peralez.
It seems that if he doesn’t want to keep the hot potato of Liu Chuan AI, it makes sense to find a buyer.
It is also reasonable for the buyer voodoo gang to be burned to death by the wandering AI.
It is
It's just so reasonable that it makes people suspicious.
This is the reason why the intelligence staff have a headache: Burger King's acting style is cunning and reckless, which makes them speculate that there are two extremes.
One extreme is: the motive is solid and the evidence chain is complete, that's it.
The other extreme is: this is an illusion, what are they hiding?
Susan listened to the lark's suggestion, let go of the cable in her hand, and stopped the network agent's movement to check the interface.
[Lark: Do you have a headache? I also feel a headache. I guess those three guys have entered Dog Town by now. 】
[Susan: I need experienced hackers to assist in the field investigation. ]
[Lark: Don’t worry, there will be. I will enter Dog Town with you. 】
[Susan: You? 】
[Lark: Well, there have been some changes in the schedule recently, and I think you also need to know. I feel that Saburo Arasaka may have contacted President Miles. 】
[Lark: The old pervert seems to have something to say—and not just to President Miles. 】
[Susan: I don’t care about this. 】
[Lark: Aren’t you curious about this? Arasaka, Military Technology, and possibly Kangtai, Pezo Chemical and Biotechnology]
[Susan: When will you arrive? 】
[Lark: I find you are really a little impersonal - the itinerary is a secret, and it is also a secret for you. 】
[Lark: Just for these few days. 】
