Chapter 792: The Maze Lock Plan

D has been thinking about how to destroy this world.

Of course, this does not refer to physical destruction. In fact, even if D uses a nuclear bomb to blow this planet into wasteland or completely blow it into pieces, it will not destroy this world. On the contrary, his approach just "fixes" the fact of "human destruction" in this world and concretizes it.

So destroying this world is not physical destruction, so we need to consider this issue from another level.

It has been a month since D came to this world. During this month, D has been busy collecting all kinds of intelligence, and then found a problem—this world is a very pure capitalist world. It can be said that this world has become like this because multinational corporate giants have monopolized technology, money and even everything that humans need. The government that was supposed to manage the country is almost all subject to the financial oligarchs.

The reason why Night City is special is that it is located between the two political entities of New America and Free State, and is an independent city-state. The only reason why it can be independent is that this city is completely controlled by capital. Arasaka and military technology are the big players, and other companies are also fighting over this city.

In this case, individuals really cannot compete with capital because the latter controls everything in this city.

In an ordinary world, it would be very difficult to overthrow this system.

Fortunately, however, this is a cyberpunk world.

A place where people will crazily stuff all kinds of parts and chips into their bodies.

And it just so happens that all these things need to be connected to the Internet.

That's no problem.

After confirming this, D and Lumiel discussed overnight and finally decided on a plan.

On the continent of Faerun, there is a high-level magic called "mystery lock", which is a barrier that can cover the entire city. These barriers have different effects. Some strictly prohibit the demons from entering, some can ensure that people in the city can fly freely, and some can maintain the stability of temperature and climate.

D wants to imitate this magic and create an electronic barrier similar to the mystery lock in Night City.

In this "mystery lock", all electronic devices will be disabled unless allowed. This means that when this mystery lock is activated, the entire Night City will be completely paralyzed. Even weapons are the same - the weapons in this world also have control functions and will fail once they are invaded.

In this way, no matter what kind of equipment these companies have, it is meaningless. Whether it is a hovercraft, a fighter jet, a tank, a missile launcher, a drone, or a variety of weapons, including pistols, shotguns, machine guns, etc., they will all become a pile of scrap metal.

Unless D nods, they cannot be used at all.

That's right, D intends to use this method to completely overthrow the corporate capital's rule over this city and even the world. At that time, the original trajectory of this world will be interrupted, and mankind will move towards another brand new future... This is obviously something that the mastermind behind the scenes does not want to see, so the other party will definitely make trouble for D.

And once he makes a move... then he will have no choice next.

Of course, this is not an easy task, so D is doing the task while circling around Night City. After all, this is almost equivalent to invading every screw in Night City and turning them into his slaves. To be honest, if it weren't for Lumiel, D alone would obviously not have the ability to do this - although he is a good player in playing games, programming is beyond D's expertise.

Although D knows nothing about programming, fortunately, through Lumiel's explanation, D still has some understanding of the current situation of the network in this world.

Frankly speaking, the network environment is more oppressive and complex than reality. Within the black wall, the roaming AI is evolving in unimaginable ways. Outside the black wall, because the original network was destroyed, companies and large enterprises created their own regional networks and used this network to firmly control ordinary people.

For D, those roaming AIs must be killed, although he does not understand programming and has no way to enter the network world to fight. But this is not important. Even if they are roaming AIs, they must have a server to store data and cannot exist in the network world out of thin air. As long as the server area where these roaming AIs are located is found, D can easily knock them down.

After all, physical network disconnection is the killer.

Of course, D also considered that perhaps the roaming AIs and fragmented information behind the black wall are the killer of the mastermind behind the scenes. After all, if there is no black wall defense, those AI killers on the old network will wreak havoc everywhere like a flood. For humans who are now almost integrated with the network, this attack is enough to bring humans to the brink of destruction—even complete extinction.

Maybe this is the purpose of the mastermind behind the scenes?

This is also the reason why D wants to capture Night City first. As long as he seizes the company's network, he can also create a powerful defense like the black wall. Once the opponent cheats and intends to use the AI ​​behind the black wall to destroy mankind, D can launch his trump card defense attack.

Although there are now network monitors responsible for monitoring the black wall, D does not intend to cooperate with the network monitors. After all, who knows where it is. Maybe the network monitors monitor the black wall just to release it at the most appropriate time. The Inquisitor has seen too many cases of guardians destroying what they are protecting.

"By the way, why do you want me and Lucy to partner up?"

After taking a sip of steaming hot coffee, D asked again curiously. After partnering with Lucy for half a month, D found that Lucy was indeed a girl with a little interest, but to be honest, D still couldn't think of why Lumiel would value her.

"I feel that she is very similar to me."

"She is not elegant at all."

D said with a smile. Lumiel always said "Girls should be elegant", but Lucy was obviously not elegant. She was the kind of "I smoke, drink, and have tattoos, but I am a good girl"... Well, she is indeed a good girl in this world.

"You know that's not what I'm talking about, Inquisitor."

There was a hint of helplessness in Lumiel's voice.

"I always feel that she is somewhat similar to my old self. Of course, it's not about smoking and drinking, but...something deeper."

"Okay, it seems that I can't understand, but you have to be careful. It's interesting to be betrayed by her."

"……………………"

Hearing D's words, Lumiel fell into silence. In Night City, betrayal is almost commonplace. Even the closest companions will betray each other one day. D has been betrayed by clients or companions more than once. In fact, the previous mission was also a trap set by Rogge. After all, Rogge, an old man, couldn't fail to see that there was something wrong with the Whirlpool Gang's mission, but she still didn't say anything and let D go.

If D died, then he died. If D came back alive, then it's as if nothing happened.

This is the world. Although Lucy is doing well now, maybe one day, she will also trap D in a mission.

Of course, D doesn't care about this. Being strong means that you can do whatever you want and you are not afraid of anyone.

In other words, if you are not afraid of death, come and see if I won't hit you on the head with my little fist.

"………………I never thought that the world would become like this."

"Capitalism turns people into ghosts, what's so strange about that? When capitalism completes its alienation of people, it will be the time of capitalism's demise."

D curled his lips.

"By the way, do you still remember what you are going to do? We will kill people, many people, so don't say you can't do it. I have made it very clear to you. If you want to completely overthrow the rule of capital, you must start a revolution. A revolution without bloodshed is like a worthless street parade. The bodies and heads of capitalists are the bloody reality. If you say you can't do it, then we will have worked in vain."

"………………Please rest assured, Judge."

Faced with D's question, Lumiel was silent for a moment and spoke.

"I won't let you down."

"I hope so."

D put down the coffee cup and stretched.

"Have you found any valuable clues?"

"Yes, according to intelligence, Arasaka Yorinobu, the eldest son of the chairman of Arasaka Corporation, will come to Night City in the near future, and his purpose is unknown."

"Arasaka... they are the only ones left."

Hearing Lumiel's report, D narrowed his eyes, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. As the oldest and largest multinational company in the world, Arasaka Corporation is D's ultimate goal. The so-called shooting shoots the first bird to stick out its head. If you want to kill the capitalists, of course, you should start with the biggest and fattest one.

Unfortunately, it was not Saburo Arasaka who came.

"When?"

"About a week later."

"What about the itinerary? Will he go to Arasaka Tower?"

"It seems that it has not been determined yet."

"Very good, continue monitoring."

Hearing this, D made a decision.

"When Arasaka Yorinobu comes, we will find a chance to kill him... Of course, if we can kill him on Arasaka Tower, it will be more symbolic. After all, he is the heir of Arasaka Group. If we can hang him on a street lamp in public, then Arasaka Group will definitely not stand idly by... "

"You want to attack Arasaka Tower?"

"Of course, but I'm not as stupid as the terrorist named Johnny Silverhand before. It's meaningless to do a nuclear bomb bombing."

At this point, D snorted.

"Arasaka Tower is just a symbol. Talent is the most important. Johnny Silverhand is just a rock terrorist who took too much drugs. He doesn't know how to resist... This stuff still needs professionals."

"Professional?"

"That's right."

D stood up and stretched.

"For us, raiding the homes of capitalists is a historical tradition."
