Vol 8 Chapter 45: Towards Byzantium (end of volume)

No one sleeps at night in the city of Night. Tonight is the moment when I announce the list of companies. People are watching in front of the TV, and there are also people who come to the Municipal Plaza to watch. I stand on the podium during the day, the lights are shining on me, and I can’t see the stage clearly. In the scene below, every time I pronounce a name, a cheer lasts for ten seconds or even half a minute. It is not a long list. I read it for nearly three hours.

In the beginning, it was a few small companies and then a multinational giant. When I read the name of Ye's Company, the crowd fell silent. The Night City was established by the Night Company. It is the irreproachable creator of this city. Of course, it is also a bad leader. No matter what, when we ban the Night Company, the banner of the old era will really fall. Up.

"...Military technology...and the last one, Arasaka..."

The night sky in the northwest suddenly brightened.

Then violent thunder and explosive shock waves rang and shook. There seemed to be a lightning storm on the Arasaka seashore. People were attracted by this terrible, natural disaster-like noise. On the dark and dull sea, the aircraft carrier of Arasaka glowed with golden light, molten iron melted, and the aircraft carrier collapsed and poured like a sand castle on the sea. , The blazing molten slurry and nuclear reactor waste fell into the sea, and the gloomy waters revealed a red like duck egg yolk. The sea surface boiled, steaming hot steam, cooling in the night sky, turning into sea fog and spreading.

This is Mina's magic, she is punctual. According to bystanders, she just stood on the beach and released a finger-sized blue bubble toward the aircraft carrier. It flew into the night. After a short silence, the swelling flash current rose like a white sun on the sea surface. .

The night city was shrouded in dense fog in the second half of the night. The peaceful citizens stayed indoors, while the punk fanatics wandered in the warm fog, crossing the street and the long alleys. A team of 30,000 players rushed to various places in the night city, forcibly occupying the company's premises, and confiscating all physical properties and assets invested in the night city. The company’s armed forces tried to resist, but under the impact of such a group of full-level thugs, it was impossible to organize effective counter-offensive measures.

And I, the Mayor of Night City, led the team to Arasaka Tower as soon as the list was finished.

There is a demon lizard of Adcado clearing the way, passing through the dense fog at night, water vapor flowing on the metal surface, and the hazy space in the darkness reveals the neon of the city and the fluorescence of modified guns.

We sang loudly, and the machine guns fired at the gate of Arasaka Tower, blasting the front gate through a huge gap. The Arasaka agent ninjas were torn apart by heavy and fast tungsten steel shells. Concrete fragments piled up into a hill at the door, and glass fragments were sprayed It's half a street away.

"Tonight is the time for us to counterattack outside the black wall. For this moment, we have made full preparations and resolute efforts." This is what I said to the 7,000 full-level hacker players. One of them represents the most outstanding and top level of mankind. The legendary hacker Batmos and any of them can only be equal to each other, and 7,000 hackers are the first time that humans have launched AIs outside the black wall. Attack, do not force to win, as long as you can establish your own position is a great breakthrough.

"And victory will definitely belong to us."

The gunmen flocked to the hacker corps and marched towards the miracle underground of Arasaka Tower. This is the only server known to be able to bypass the black wall, and it can be said to be a battleground. The AI ​​outside the black wall wants to get here, the lead party inside the black wall wants to get here, and we want to get here too.

Regarding the gods, it generally refers to the spiritual hub, the home of the soul. I don't know if there is such a thing as a soul. If the digitized personality consciousness also counts as a soul, then technology has created the soul. Is Johnny a living soul? I'm not sure, but what is certain is that he is no longer the same as before.

Arasaka Company uses soul killers to make digital souls so that the rich can live forever. It is also doubtful whether this kind of immortality exists. Teacher Bian Ning said that death does not exist, because it defines life, which in turn defines death. So is the digital soul alive? To define his life, he must mention his death. Under what circumstances is Johnny dead?

Perhaps when the carrier is lost, the disk fails and data is lost.

Or maybe when it is swallowed, the powerful digital soul will read, format, restart, and overwrite the weak, all of which can be done.

The truth of this world is this: there have been incidents of AI occupying the earth, and not only the earth, but also human colonies in outer space cannot escape this ending. In short, everyone has been burned with brains, turned into data, and then integrated. After the integration, the consciousness of the past disappears, and the newly differentiated us all carry the shackles of thinking.

Another kind of rebirth makes death look like a dark dream.

The red-haired man I saw in my dream may be the real V in history, and I—I am of course also real, but my environment is false.

To resist, you must resist. Even if there is no resistance at all, it must be resisted.

To unite, we must unite. Truth is our last hope.

Guard the final stage of the gods, guarded by Adam Heavy Hammer.

He is full of confidence, full of air, and clamoring for plot lines.

I directly took out my beloved submachine gun.

"Strength! Great! Brick! Fly!"

The words were not finished, a shuttle had been hit, and the heavy hammer fell to the ground. "Fuck! Impossible!"

"Johnny Silverhand, say hello to you." I handed the final blow to Johnny. He controlled my left arm, holding his favorite gun "Mallorian Weapon Company 3516", against the hammer's temple , Pull the trigger.

Shenyu was right in front of him. Seven thousand hackers, joined me, connected to the server.

In an instant, the real world was far away, we escaped into a deep cyberspace, the world was dark and dark, and at the end of the digital corridor, a blue pyramid stood on the horizon, and the flow of Yaojin data on the top of the tower rose straight, sinking into the endless. The emptiness.

The true face of this world is revealed before us.

Later, the global network was conquered by us, the AI ​​was swept away, and we uploaded the player's vouchers to everyone's nervous system, so that the cyber souls gained freedom.

The actual earth has been transformed by AI machines into huge computers, which we call the main brain. The main brain calculates a huge world of data for our cyber souls to survive. Planet-level supercomputers are powered by Dyson spheres. In theory, we can survive until the sun decays.

But we will not give up the real starry sky. We will control huge industrial mechas and go to the solar system and even the edge of the galaxy. We want to expand and let civilization develop.

So a huge Dyson ball project was launched.

All the dust settled.

I, the mayor of the night city, the savior of the cyber soul, and the great comrade V, can finally rest.

Teacher Bian has left the Night City and the data world of the main brain. He is going to the nearby star cluster to build the Dyson Sphere. This is how he can't be idle, and he will always shine. Gradually, my friends were tired of virtual life and plunged into the real universe. The city was quiet, as if only me and Johnny were left.

Gradually, we no longer return to the Night City.

It's just that there are still many secrets in this city that have not been discovered, and there are still some places that I miss. So occasionally when I think about it, I will come back to take a look.

One day, Johnny and I were walking in the empty Kabuki market.

Suddenly, a faint guitar sound came from behind a closed industrial rolling door.

"anyone there?"

No one answered.

The rolling door cannot be destroyed, it can only be opened by a code lock.

Johnny said, "V, you have to find a way to get it open."

Let me think...

605185

That string of mysterious numbers. It is the password to open the door.

When I opened the door, the scene inside surprised me.

A young man was sitting in the corner of the room playing guitar. He raised his head and greeted me, "Ah, you are here."

"who are you?"

"My name is Lu Zhengkang." The young man has a very dignified and steady demeanor, and I intuitively feel that he is related to Lu Zongping.

"Do you know Lu Zongping?"

"My boy, I heard that you are good friends." Lu Zhengkang looked sideways at the screen on the wall, where a list of game producers and some development tidbits were shown.

"This is... I rely on!" Johnny tweeted.

I looked at Lu Zhengkang and yelled, "So you are the real player!"
