The Witch of the Cyberpunk Era

Chapter 764 Bullet Aiming at Himself

The virtual conference room is shaped like a large exhibition hall, with only a dozen or so figures present, like a group of translucent ghosts, shining with blue information light spots, and Maverick is standing in the crowd.

Elodie would not have recognized him if Memnon hadn't pointed it out himself.

"It turned out to be you! Only by destroying you can the people be outraged. Handing over your head is good for everyone!" Eledy was aggressive.

"Me?" Maverick wondered. "I don't want to die."

He knew he was a victim of war and his words were not convincing, but he had to wait.

He established a secret channel to contact Roisio. And at the same time put off Elodie and the others so that his little tricks would go unnoticed.

"Lord Roisio, they want my life." He sent the encrypted message.

"Very well," said Roisio.

"Good?" Maverick asked, puzzled.

"You should know the basic principle of Sea of ​​Hillis, users convert their consciousness into data and upload it completely to the system..."

"This is the principle of diving, and you know it very well." Maverick murmured.

"Of course. I mean—what good would it do if all of your consciousness, including your intelligence, memory, skills, etc., became files in the operating system in the meantime?"

"You copied me!" Maverick was surprised.

He suddenly remembered what he said when he persuaded Todd Compson to join the Seven Seals - Todd, the Seven Seals are a giant, a Leviathan, you should surrender to it, although you have lost your freedom, you can survive...

"More than copying, much more than that." Roisio let out an almost sarcastic laugh.

There is also full control permission.

Comedian did it - Maverick's mind was overwhelmed with regret and fear, but even that pain soon dissipated.

In an instant, he lost his ability to speak and suddenly disconnected from the virtual meeting room.

Maverick's original body is in the network work office of Symantec Information Corporation.

In real life, there are smiling faces and a large number of smiling face symbols in front of his eyes.

Those emoji zoomed in and zoomed in, with pixel-level clarity.

The voices of Roisio and the comedians jeering at him mingled, as if those sharp laughs were sending him to his death.

He watched his actions but couldn't control them.

Maverick reached out from a drawer and pulled out a sleek, loaded silver 9mm pistol that the company had given him for his birthday last year.

He pressed the gun to his temple and pulled the trigger.

boom!

In the virtual conference room, Memnon immediately dispatched his men to track down Maverick who had disappeared.

"Maverick must be somewhere on the west coast, I won't let him escape." Memnon comforted Elodie who was about to explode.

"He just ran away! You're fooling me!" she yelled at Memnon, "We're going to drop a nuke in your face right away!"

She wasn't kidding, but she really started mobilizing the army.

Eledy knew very well that since Nisto Corporation has Uncle Xu who can shoulder the burden of information warfare, the enemy must regard Nisto Corporation as a very threatening opponent.

Memnon was also alarmed that he could not let the Nistor company blackmail him.

Elodie was like a small volcano, ready to erupt if she was not careful.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he observed the situation and let out the rumor that Nistor Company was seeking to start a war, hoping to see if the people on his side had a firm resistance mentality.

They hit Nisto, and Nisto hit the West Coast, and this is no joke, both sides caused casualties and financial losses to each other.

In comparison, the disasters suffered by the West Coast are even more serious. Although Maverick repaired the network and automated defenses, financial markets were turbulent, and investor confidence was getting weaker and weaker.

Memnon collected polls from different sources and found that the attitudes of people in Xintai Xizhou were very fierce.

"What? The company on the west coast took the initiative to launch a cyber operation against Nisto, and was counterattacked?"

"They're building a fleet!"

"They're preparing nukes!"

"How outrageous are those inferior people that they will take the initiative to provoke Nesto Corporation!"

"I've long said I'm shutting down the West Coast!"

"No wonder...it's terrible..."

"We haven't fought a war for two hundred years. Are we going to war over a rubbish city?"

"Who knows if they'll blow some balloon over us!"

Residents of Xintaixizhou were all surprised, shocked and bewildered after learning about the general situation.

They have always believed that the land they occupy is a god-given land, and they have pursued a firm isolation strategy in recent decades; but now due to the cyber warfare launched by some companies, they suddenly face the threat from Nisto Corporation.

Many Xintaizhou people began to protest, they did not want to be involved in the war.

Even if someone knew about Qiyin's plan and speculated that Nisto Corporation was just bluffing, the vast majority of Xintaixizhou people still didn't want to take risks.

They think that one of their own lives is worth more than tens of thousands of lives outside, and it is not worth dying for it; and Xintaixizhou has not experienced wars for many years, especially wars involving the mainland.

Burning down factories, smashing cars into each other on the West Coast, isn't that a kind of war? Those people from the Eastern Hemisphere really did meaningful harm to Xintai Xizhou!

In some fantasy works, it is often mentioned that Xintaixizhou was defeated by a large-scale landing. They are all familiar with this, and they don't want to take risks.

Some people don’t even know where the northern archipelago is, imagining that it may be located in the tropics of the planet, so the film and television works they produce often lack clothing. According to the descriptions of those movies, some men in their society still have the ability to stop time. Ability to do whatever it wants. What's even more frightening is that the company there has developed an out-of-control software that can even be used by ordinary people. Just showing others a glance at the mobile phone page can cause mind control effects!

Go to war with such a powerful northern archipelago? No, seeking peace is the best policy.

After discovering the negative attitude of the locals to avoid war, Memnon suddenly felt worried.

Elodie found it interesting.

The people in Xintai Xizhou are very strong, but they dare not fight for their lives. They can't afford to die. The entire Xintai Xizhou has only a few hundred million people, and the core population is tens of millions of white people who are arrogant to the bone.

OK, then squeeze them dry!

"The words are on the verge of my mouth." Eledy held up the virtual manuscript in her hand, "I will start a full-scale war against the West Coast Treaty Organization until the entire ocean is filled with corpses and battleships! Your port will be burned to ashes! Your men will crawl in fire and dust!"

Memnon was wary.

The last time Nisto Corporation declared war, it directly wiped out Xin Xisheng; will this declaration of war break up the West Coast Treaty?

If the situation is not right, each franchise company will flee.

Satellites go up, blue flags land, this kind of thing is not necessary.

We can only bear with Nisto Company first.

Memnon, bear with me!

When the economic crisis of the past few years passes and the world situation tends towards the West Coast Treaty, it will not be too late for revenge.

At this time, Memnon also received a report from his subordinates.

"Maverick—he committed suicide," Memnon said quickly.

"Oh, hurry up and submit the news, so that we can explain it easily." Elodie nodded.

Under the influence of the media, as long as Maverick's cowardly act of seeking suicide is played up, emphasizing his fear and nervousness, the anger of ordinary people will also subside.

"The culprit has been eliminated. He tried to blackmail Nesto Corporation, and he paid the price with his life. Dear Miss Elodie, let's talk about how to resolve it peacefully." Memnon said patiently.

"Then, our condition is..."

Memnon and Elodie began to haggle over how to broker a peace treaty.

After several rounds of negotiations, Memnon signed the following contract on behalf of the West Coast Treaty Organization:

1. The West Coast Treaty pays 50 million Thai dollars as compensation to the people of Nisto's jurisdiction.

2. The two sides maintain a comprehensive peace, which lasts for 5 years and will be considered for renewal when it expires.

3. Transfer part of the space orbit for Nestor to launch satellites/rockets.

4. Return all information and data stolen in this information war.

5. Nisto Company admitted that this act was done by a small group of radicals such as Maverick, and no longer tried to land on the West Coast.

6. Sign the Internet Peace Convention, and both parties have the conditions to open some websites to "cross-sea communication". People in the West Coast Treaty territory can browse websites such as Kyoto Unlimited Danmaku.com and 2ch, and people in Nisto’s jurisdiction can also freely log in to PH, Blue Bird, etc., to strengthen non-governmental exchanges between the two sides.

In addition, there are many smaller agreements, such as some commodity import and export lists, conditional oil settlements, etc.

Thus, both sides get what they want.

Memnon fought for the best interests.

Five years of peace! Or a five-year truce.

Five years, a full sixty months, and more than 1,800 days are enough for the West Coast Treaty to clean up the broken economic system and build a new economic environment with Thai dollars, allowing most companies to get out of the current economic predicament.

Complete the market clearing, eliminate all low-end production capacity, and probably clean up many low-level and useless humans.

Five years, what a precious five years of peace...

Elodie was also satisfied.

With this agreement, Nisto Corporation can break the opponent's space blockade and launch its own satellites and rockets!

This is absolutely great news, which can be said to overshadow all current interests.

As long as Nisto Corporation deploys weapons and communication platforms in space, the "Mandate of Heaven" system will no longer be fearsome!

And the artificial celestial bodies launched into space are enough for Uncle Xu to flex his muscles.

It is said that he used to deploy the system on the ground. From today on, he can send his signal to the universe and see the sea of ​​stars!

Memnon ends the meeting.

After sending away this Elodie, Memnon heaved a sigh of relief, meditating on everything now.

The five-year peace period is enough for each party to undergo drastic changes, and he has to think carefully about his future strategy.

The most critical, "seven seals".

In fact, none of the senior members are from Xintai Xizhou. Memnon thought secretly.

There are alien creatures, witches, rich people from Taixizhou, and oriental faces like Noriko Honma.

There are no Xintaixizhou people, and a few people are indeed in the organization, but they are only middle and low-level members and have no influence.

Memnon now distrusts Qiyin more and more.

At least from the current indications, the Seven Seals will harm the interests of Xintai Xizhou to serve themselves.

They are intended to replace corporate alliances, not to be the next corporate alliance.

The existence of the West Coast Treaty is only to support the prosperity of the Seven Seals. In fact, Memnon feels like a puppet being manipulated.

As for Nesto Corporation...

With such a terrible network surveillance, a sophisticated and ruthless president, and an ancient witch who is said to be evil and unscrupulous, the Nestor Company is indeed a trinity, which is difficult to suppress.

And their style is quite decent.

Maybe I should contact Nisto Company in my personal name, so as not to be cleaned up by Seven Seals in the future. Memnon thought to himself. Their own Yemen technology company may also be able to realize some innovative projects through technical exchanges with Nisto company.

Investment profit is a person's greatest wisdom, not choosing sides. Otherwise, what is the difference from those mediocre tools?
