The son-in-law of Mr. Hachishaku

Chapter 221
Song Zhaomei admitted that she was willing to do anything to survive.

But Li Ang's words were quite straightforward. From his personality to his body, they all belonged to him. As long as he was a normal person, he would not be able to bear it for the first time.

And he also promised to make her immortal, which is simply a fantasy.

"Mr. Li Ang, I might..." Song Zhaomei tried hard to choose her words, trying to reject this ridiculous deal without offending Li Ang.

The reason why she had the confidence to refuse was because she had already found a way to save herself.

Not long ago, Han Sen dug out a device host from the ground of Dog Town, called the Neural Matrix. It was once part of the military technology [Little Beidou Project].

When it comes to neural matrix, we have to mention Arasaka Company’s [Soul Killer].

The latter can be simply understood as a virus program, specifically targeting hackers.

It can directly obliterate the consciousness of hackers, so it is called the soul killer.

Projects including Mikoshi and Relic chips were born out of this.

Due to the emergence of the Soul Killer, the Second Corporate War ended quickly, and Arasaka Corporation rose to become one of the world's largest corporations.

It is worth mentioning that the inventor of this program is Ott Cunningham.

Arasaka Corporation stole the technology from her and tried to silence her, which led to a series of events such as Johnny Silverhand's nuclear explosion of Arasaka Tower.

The neural matrix is ​​an electronic warfare weapon developed by military technology and New America, hoping to use it to fight against the soul killers of Arasaka Company.

The matrix itself is a container used for containment and control. There is a flowing AI outside the black wall inside. Users can control the AI ​​through the matrix so that it can perform certain tasks.

Song Zhaomei's plan is to use matrix AI to eliminate the lark AI in her body.

Compared to fluffy promises, she prefers to believe in the neural matrix actually placed in the bunker.

"I'm really sorry, I can't accept this condition."

Li Ang knew very well what she was thinking, and he also knew that he couldn't move her with just his mouth, so he just took action.

He stretched out his fingers and tapped Song Zhaomei's forehead, and she immediately rolled her eyes and lost consciousness.

Then Li Ang himself leaned on the sofa and closed his eyes.

The first layer of bacterial web.

After experiencing the terrible feeling of drowning, Song Zhaomei regained consciousness.

The first thing that catches the eye is an extremely luxurious castle.

The dazzling crystal chandelier, the calm mahogany staircase, the exquisite wool carpet, and even a candlestick all have a strong sense of history.

But the most eye-catching thing is the man sitting on the throne in the main hall.

"Where am I?" Song Zhaomei asked in fear.

Li Ang didn't answer, just stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.

The next second, a full-length mirror inlaid with gems appeared in front of Song Zhaomei.

In the mirror, she exists completely in human form, without those ugly lines of the prosthetic body.There is no cumbersome mechanical structure, and every inch of skin is original.

She could even feel her heart beating vigorously and her lungs expanding with her breathing.

It was not the precise coordination of metal and lubricating oil, but the wanton carnival of blood and flesh.

She looked at Song Zhaomei in the mirror obsessively, then looked down at herself, and when she looked up again, her eyes were filled with tears.

Li Ang on the throne smiled, raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Song Zhaomei's ugly cooling suit turned into an elegant black evening dress.

When she was trying to understand what happened, the mirror in front of her suddenly disappeared and turned into brightly colored birds, chirping happily around her, as if she was in a fairy tale world.

However, the good times did not last long, and soon a brown lark emerged from Song Zhaomei's body.

The lark is obviously famous for its beautiful voice, but this one's call is harsh and dull.

It loudly threatened other birds and drove them away from Song Zhaomei.

The brightly colored birds did not want to be with it and flew away one after another.

"Don't go! Don't!" Song Zhaomei tried to catch up, but couldn't catch up.

The lark, which had succeeded in its treacherous scheme, stepped on her shoulder and made an unpleasant and wanton cry, seeming to be announcing another victory of its own.

Song Zhaomei slumped on the ground helplessly, sobbing softly, unable to do anything about it.

Enough showing off, the lark was ready to crawl back into her body.

But just as he made a move, he found himself being held in the palm of a man's hand in the blink of an eye.

It panicked and tried to escape, but in the end, like a stubborn monkey, it could never escape from the Wuzhi Mountain that suppressed it.

It desperately shouted for help to Song Zhaomei.

The lark is Song Zhaomei, Song Zhaomei is the lark, come and save me!
Song Zhaomei turned a deaf ear, as if she hadn't heard, and still sat on the ground crying.

Gradually, the man as towering as a mountain clenched his fists, and the cry of the lark suddenly stopped.

Song Zhaomei felt something and looked at the man on the throne with red eyes.

Immediately afterwards, the scene in front of her changed instantly, and she returned to the reception room of the Sapphire Green Building.

The white swan became the ugly duckling again, but fortunately, the annoying screeching in her brain and the monster that wanted to take her body were gone.

Song Zhaomei looked at her two robotic hands and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Can I go back?"

Sitting opposite her, Li Ang, who seemed to have never moved before, replied: "Of course, as long as you are willing."

"Thank you." Song Zhaomei smiled with relief.

Li Ang knew what she was thanking, and he also smiled and said: "Go back and rest for a while, and come to me when you wake up."

Song Zhaomei said "Okay" obediently, then stood up and left, her steps brisk, like a bird breaking free from its cage.

Li Ang, who was staying in the reception room, had something like a crystal ball in his hand.

A brown lark was flying around inside, trying frantically to escape.

Li Ang smiled and clicked on the crystal ball: "Be good, you will be my Red Queen from now on."

The bacterial net is actually very much like an enhanced version of the shrine. It is also a place where consciousness is stored, but the former is a bit more mysterious than the latter.

The shrine can also be explained in a scientific way, but the bacterial net has been influenced by some people and has completely entered the category of metaphysics.

Li Ang always avoids entering the bacterial net when downloading a copy.

Because when his consciousness left, his body was completely defenseless.

He always remembered clearly how Miranda had his house stolen by him, and today he took a small risk.

Fortunately, there are good harvests.

A top hacker, a super intelligent AI.

In fact, what Song Zhaomei saw in the bacterial net just now was what Li Ang wanted her to see.

The real situation is far more complicated than this. Lark and Song Zhaomei have already been part of each other, and they are part of me. It is not that simple to separate them.So Li Ang divided this mess of consciousness into many pieces.

Find the part that belongs to Song Zhaomei and put her back together.

Since the whole process was relatively indescribable, in order to prevent Song Zhaomei from being frightened, Li Ang created a false memory and implanted it into her consciousness.

It seems to be working fine now.

Fortunately, the integration between Song Zhaomei and Lark is relatively deep, and Lark, as a pile of data, can enter the bacterial network.

Other circulating AIs cannot use this method.

Otherwise, Li Ang would have contacted Otto Cunningham long ago. Is the strongest AI outside the black wall no better than a little house bird?
Then again, with the technological level of the main world, the little house bird is enough for the time being.

Just as Li Ang was thinking about the beautiful new home in the future of the main world, V sent him a very brief message.

[Done! ! ! ]
[Bring people back]
After Li Ang finished replying to V's message, he was about to put away his phone, but after thinking about it, he sent another message to Xili.

[Have you considered it?reply ASAP! ! ! ]
Five minutes later, the Witcher slowly replied: [I haven’t started thinking about it yet.]
Then she immediately explained the reason: [Yesterday, a new arcade game called 'Save Miss Yuriko' was released. It's so fun!I was busy playing games and forgot about going home, hehe. ]
Li Ang scratched his forehead in confusion. There were so many flaws that he didn't know where to start.

But he suddenly recalled something.

Shirley's interests seem to be similar to Judy's, and they both prefer pretty girls.

Hmm. The difference is that Judy is relatively pure, while Shirley takes it all.

Once the thoughts are diverged, it is difficult to take them back. Li Ang just blanked his mind and thought about something else until V came back.

"I'm back!" V knocked on the door twice to show his appreciation, and then opened the door directly and came in.

Behind her were Han Sen and two black friends who were escorted in by ghost dogs.

The man among them was tall and muscular, with a solemn expression, and was wearing a stylish fur coat. He looked very much like a British actor in Li Ang's previous life.

(Idris Elba, who played Heimdall in Thor)

The black woman behind him is relatively ordinary, with short golden brown hair and a thin body. The only memory point is that she wears a nose ring, but this is nothing in the Night City.

Li Ang raised his head and glanced at the two of them.

Solomon Reed looked at him without fear, but Alex behind him had some evasive eyes.

"Welcome you two, you won't be angry if I invite you here in this way, right?"

Li Ang greeted them warmly, and then said to Han Sen: "Untie the two friends, and give them a drink to calm their shock."

Han Sen nodded to his men.

Several ghost dogs quickly stepped forward and unlocked the electronic shackles on Li De and Alex.

Li De flexed his sore wrists while quietly observing the layout of the reception room, looking for a way to escape.

Alex was more honest, keeping his head down and not daring to look anywhere.

The agent's thoughts could not be hidden from Li Ang. He waved his hand: "V stays, and everyone else can go out. Don't block Mr. Solomon's view."

Han Sen bowed slightly to him and left with the ghost dogs.

Alex was horrified at what he saw.

She had been in Dog Town for seven years, and this was the first time she saw Han Sen treat a person with such respect.

Is this still the lawless King of Dog Town?
Li De's reaction was much calmer. He lifted up his windbreaker and sat down on the sofa opposite Li Ang: "Make a price. How can we let President Miles go?"

Li Ang ignored him and said to V who was guarding the door: "Good job, come and sit."

"You're welcome." V smiled and sat next to him, then handed him an item: "Military technology is exclusively for the CIA's bionic masking technology. It is similar to the one I used before, but the model is more advanced. From It was found on the lady."

Li Ang took the disguised prosthetic body that looked like a badge and looked at it for a moment.

I don’t know if there is a large-scale plan for this thing. If there is, he can install a mimicry cover over the valley in the main world to camouflage the entire valley like Wakanda did.

After thinking about it, he put away the group and focused on the agent opposite.

"Solomon, you really don't care about past grudges. Miles once wanted your life, but you wanted to save her. This kind of behavior always reminds me of an old friend named Goro Takemura."

At the end of the Unification War, seven years ago, the special agent team led by Li De worked hard and performed a lot of dirty work for the federal army, and also passed on a lot of useful intelligence.

But this also annoyed Arasaka Company and Night City executives.

Therefore, after the war, team leader Li De was naturally given up.

Not only that, Miles also framed him for defecting to Arasaka and ordered team member Song Zhaomei to kill him.

Fortunately, Li De didn't die. Otherwise, it was all misfortune.

Because Alex lost his only online connection, he was trapped in Dog Town for seven years and could not leave.

Song Zhaomei was stimulated and her condition worsened.

After Li De himself lay in the hospital for several months, without explaining to anyone or paying attention to his former team members, he went to work as a security guard at the Middleman's bar in the city center.

It wasn't until V dialed the number that he appeared again.

"I saved the president, not Miles the person." Li De replied coldly.

After hearing this, Li Ang smiled and turned to the female agent standing silently in the corner: "Alex, Alex, do you hate him?"

Alex said without thinking: "Hate, I wish he died!"

How many seven years can there be in life?

Li Ang patted V's thigh, which felt firm: "Give her your gun."

V glared at him angrily, but still took out the pistol on his waist and threw it to the female agent.

Alex hurriedly caught it and looked at his former boss at a loss.

Li Ang looked playful: "Give you a chance to kill him."

Alex behind him slowly raised the gun in his hand, but Li De remained motionless, staring at Li Ang with beast-like eyes.

boom!
Alex fired, but he aimed at Leon.

Li Ang lowered his head, picked up the deformed warhead in his heart, and sighed: "Tsk."

V next to him touched his chest curiously: "Tsk, his skin is really thick."

She never thought that Alex would cause harm to Leon, so she handed over the gun with confidence.

If a mythical creature can be killed by a gun, that's too low.

The relationship between the two was calm, but Alex was so frightened that she even thought she was holding a toy gun.

Even Li De, who had always remained calm, looked surprised.

Li Ang played with the warhead in his hand and asked meaningfully: "I heard that your dream is to become a musical actor?"

Alex nodded subconsciously.

"Change your dream, it's not suitable for you." After that, Li Ang threw the bullet back.

　I released it without touching a single word, and I was convinced.
