Players Invade Cyberpunk
Chapter 1113 - 362: Hajimi North and South Road_2
European hackers look down on hackers from other regions, thinking they’re all amateurs.
You can’t handle Horizon Corporation’s firewall? That’s your own incompetence.
Don’t blame the road if you can’t walk it.
As a member of an old money family, each of Lancaster’s personal maids included a skilled hacker.
It’s safe to say that the entire maid team was cultivated by the family from a young age as tools, not just for relieving desires.
A red-haired maid nodded, then took out her hacker equipment, stepping forward to take the captured device from a Cuban soldier.
During the previous period when players infiltrated to fight, the Cuban army had seized terminals from fallen players, which was now the time to put them to use.
Danny lay on the hacker chair, connecting the data cable to the player’s terminal, linking it to the Cuban military network, as the signal extended all the way to the frontline combat zone.
Immersing her consciousness into Cyberspace, Danny expanded the search range, and an electronic warfare team quickly found their terminal heating up, thinking it was broken and hurriedly tossing it aside, worried it might explode.
The terminal was actually working at high power to expand the signal receiver, trying to capture the enemy signal source.
Soon, she got the results she wanted, seeing six constantly moving signal sources in Cyberspace.
"Found it."
After some thought, Danny chose the strongest signal source to connect to.
There was data flowing between this signal source and the others, suggesting it might be an officer or something, potentially holding crucial intelligence her master wanted.
Thus, she began using the captured device’s identification code to connect to the Horizon network, which didn’t take much effort.
Being from old Europe, her hacker implants and programming skills were evidently superior to the ordinary hackers of Night City, highlighting a real technological and financial gap.
However, she made a rookie mistake that even Night City’s hackers would often make.
Never hack into those lunatics’ minds, attempting to figure out what they’re thinking.
Night City’s hackers have the experience: either directly kill this bunch of lunatics, burning their brains, or upload a Demonic Puppet to disrupt their implants.
Under no circumstances
Under no circumstances should you try to parse their brain data.
Doing so might cause mild insanity, or worst, you could be directly killed by some kind of ICE.
And Danny, at the first moment of connection, began analyzing the target’s data fluctuations.
Then, in the next second, a strange musical melody echoed in her mind.
(Private laughter)
"Hajimi North and South Road~~ Asiga Ya Kunalong~~"
"Haya Hajimi~ Dingya Dingdong Ji~ Mambo Mankiri~"
"Ha~~ Ji~~ Mi~ North and South Road~ Asiga Hayaku Nanlong~"
The demonic and insane music swept through Danny’s entire mind in an instant, and even in reality, she began to show a difficult expression, unconsciously groaning from her mouth.
"Ugh ah!!!"
What is this?
Is this music? 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
But why have I never heard of this song?
The eerie tune kept trying to invade Danny’s brain, and she could only try her best to analyze it, thinking maybe it was some kind of cryptographic code, as there indeed seemed to be some rules in the melody.
But Danny knew that the tone wasn’t anything a human throat could produce, not even sung in any known human language.
A wave of fear engulfed Danny’s consciousness, as she recognized it as a synthetic electronic voice, not human.
The immense terror nearly overwhelmed Danny completely, the song she heard sounded like whispers from an abyss, and the blasphemous lyrics tore her brain to pieces, the malice in the words almost spilling into the real world.
Finally, at the brink of conscious oblivion, a last shred of awareness allowed her to see
See the truth behind the twisted tunes and characters.
The yellow and white intertwined round-headed creature seemed to notice her as well, extending its data tendrils, with several sharp chitinous claws at their ends, apparently trying to capture this uninvited intruder.
The round-headed creature impatiently opened its big mouth, with venomous snake-like sharp fangs that just seeing made Danny feel skin-deep pain, as if even her soul was being torn apart.
Escape!
Must escape!
Survival instincts drove Danny’s data form to retreat, attempting to sever the data connection with the other side.
While behind, the malice-filled roars of that monster pierced the boundless sea of data, engraving an indelible mark deep in Danny’s soul.
"Ha——"
"Ah!!!"
Danny screamed, waking up from the hacker chair, drenched in sweat in just a few minutes.
From Lancaster’s perspective, shortly after Danny connected to the data, she started frowning and twitching, later even moaning in pain. If the hacker chair hadn’t shown Danny’s vital signs as normal, he would have thought his maid was being burned to death by some ICE.
"What did you see? Did you intercept any key intelligence from the other side?"
Lancaster grabbed Danny’s arms and shook her violently, trying to pull her out of her fear and get the answers he wanted.
Even if you’re going to die, wait until you’ve shared the intelligence first.
This relates to his dream!
And any other maid wanting to help was pushed aside by Lancaster to stand aside.
