Chapter 159 Positioning Program! Portal!

However, just as V pulled out the chip and was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly heard a sound of tiptoeing from outside the darkroom.

With the help of the prosthetic device, V's senses were very sharp, and he could easily distinguish the number of people from the footsteps.

'Someone is coming! '

V frowned. It was definitely too late to escape from the basement at this time. He could only hide temporarily.

After the people left, he would find a way to escape from here! [There is a cabinet for sundries on your upper left, so hide there temporarily. If it doesn't work, kill him as soon as possible! ]

[Fuck... your crow mouth is sometimes really effective, and it works as soon as you say something bad. ]

Johnny pointed a way to V while cursing. Now they can only hope that the newcomer is blind and doesn't discover their whereabouts.

Immediately, just when V hid in the cabinet, a mysterious figure quietly came in.

From the way the man was dressed, V could probably tell that he was an agent of a certain company.

‘Damn! Did we meet someone in the same profession? ’

When V saw that the man also took out a chip device and was also planning to insert it into the Voodoo Gang’s Poseidon sub-network, he couldn’t help but secretly said.

‘How could there be two people stepping on the same place? This is too weird! ’

Could it be that Leon didn’t trust his professional ability, so he sent another agent to do the work here? !

Thinking of this, V suddenly couldn’t hold it in. Except for the failure to steal the Relic chip from the Blue Bi Building, he really had never messed up other commissions.

[Leon would not do such a stupid thing. Either he happened to meet someone in the same profession, or someone with ulterior motives had already noticed our whereabouts! ]

Johnny Silverhand was more inclined to the second possibility. If they were really being targeted by someone, then they could only kill the other party.

‘No matter, rush over and control the person first! ’

V soon activated the Qianti Si An Weistan device, quickly came behind the man, and pointed the eight-star gun at the back of his head. He lowered his voice and said:

"Friend, I have already stepped on this place once. Now I will take back your things. Don't waste your time here!"

"Also, who the hell are you?"

V suddenly said something, and the agent in front of him almost stumbled and fell. From the courage of the other party, V could probably guess that the other party's skills were very average.

If it was a professional killer or a company agent, even if someone pointed a gun at his head, he would not be so easily frightened and trembled all over.

And this person is probably a rookie who has just entered the industry, so he was so panicked by him.

"Don't, don't shoot. My name is Bryce Mosley. I'm a hacker agent of the Internet Monitoring Company. I'm just carrying out the task assigned to me by the company."

"If I accidentally delay your mission, I'll leave now. You can even save a bullet!"

Bryce's voice was a little stuttering due to nervousness. After he saw from the corner of his eye that the person behind him was not a hacker from the Voodoo Gang, he was slightly relieved.

He thought he was discovered by the Voodoo Gang, but from the current situation, the other party is most likely also a company member.

"Network Monitoring? What are you doing here? Explain clearly!"

V slightly pressed the muzzle of the gun against the back of Bryce's head, scaring the other party to beg for mercy again and again, and even his voice trembled a little.

"Hey! Man, calm down, can you? Be careful of the gun going off. Maybe we can talk face to face in peace. There's no need to make the atmosphere so tense."

"Can you keep your gun away? I have a bad heart. If I suddenly get sick, I might die on the spot."

"Since we are all in the same industry, we can relax a little."

After saying that, Bryce raised his hands and slowly turned his head to look over. After seeing V's true face, Bryce was more convinced that the other party was an agent of a certain company.

Since everyone was working for the company, there was something to talk about, at least there was a common topic.

"I ask you again, what are you doing here?!"

V didn't want to chat with Bryce here. He didn't believe that there would be such a coincidence in the world that the agents of two companies actually met at the same time!

V must figure this out as soon as possible.

Seeing V's fierce expression, as if he was going to do something serious, Bryce had no choice but to explain his real intention to the other party:

"Okay, I'm here to implant a positioning program, and by the way, steal some information from the Voodoo Gang's subnet."

"That's all I'm here for, and there's nothing else. I swear in the name of God that everything I said is true."

After listening to Bryce's words, V was still skeptical. He then asked the other party in detail about the information about the Poseidon subnet. Seeing Bryce's fluent answers, V reluctantly believed the other party's true identity.

Maybe this person is an ordinary agent hacker sent by the network monitoring company, but he just happened to run into him while performing his daily tasks.

"What's your intention in implanting a positioning program in the Poseidon subnet? On someone else's server, open a backdoor for your own company's hackers?"

V continued to ask aloud.

Before performing this task, Li Ang only told him what to do, but did not explain to him in detail what the matrix chip was used for.

Therefore, V himself understood that Leon just wanted to steal the subnet information of the Voodoo Gang, and Bryce's true purpose should be the same.

"Uh! That's right. Although I have implanted this kind of positioning program in servers in other regions, I have never used this program, and I don't know who this thing is for."

Bryce shrugged and responded with an innocent expression.

In fact, there are countless network surveillance agent hackers like him running around the world.

These people are planting positioning programs in server terminals everywhere, not entirely to steal information, but more importantly to open a portal for the transcendent AI Europa.

Once this positioning program written by Europa himself is connected to any server, Europa's access point can ignore geographical restrictions and reach the server.

With the help of such convenient technology, Europa can collect as much network information as possible from the entire world and grow into the largest transcendental AI.

Bryce came here to implant the positioning program precisely to create a backdoor for Europa in the Poseidon subnet of the Voodoo Gang, so that it could enter the Night City at any time and collect information and data here.

By the way, secretly investigate the situation of LA company!

However, for such a top-secret matter, no more than three people in the world know about it.

No one except the core executives of the network monitoring company knew what this program really did.

Including Bryce Mosley who is on this mission!

Until now, he still thought that he was performing an ordinary company task.

After learning the contents of the other party's mission, V nodded thoughtfully. He could hear that Bryce was not lying.

But since such an unexpected thing happened, V knew that he had to report to Li Ang in time to ensure that this matter was completed smoothly.

If Li Ang asked him to kill someone and silence him, V could only apologize and say that he would shoot this hacker agent who shouldn't be here.

"Stay here and don't move around. If you dare to play any tricks, I guarantee that your brain will be torn apart by this gun in an instant."

"Don't think that I will worry about the Voodoo Gang members outside rushing in. I have a lot of backup, and even a bloodbath here will be easy!"

V waved the eight-star shotgun in front of Bryce. Bryce, who turned pale with fright, nodded repeatedly. It was obvious that V's verbal violence and weapon deterrence were very effective for him.

After seeing Bryce huddled in the corner without moving, V called Leon and reported to him everything that happened here.

The first time he learned about the positioning program, Li Ang realized that the transcendent AI Europa was really planning to come to Night City, and its target was the Poseidon subnet of the Voodoo Gang!

Now that it's here, this most powerful transcendental AI must not be let go easily.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Li Ang asked V to take Bryce out first, and then decide whether to let him go after tonight.

If Europa really wants to come to Night City, it will probably only take a day or two, and Li Ang can definitely afford to wait.

Even if it means taking a step back and saying that Europa has noticed that something is not right and has no intention of entering the Poseidon subnet of the Voodoo Gang, then it doesn't matter to Leon.

He has plenty of ways to connect Europa to the matrix, it just takes a little more time.

[Take the people out first, and you two will find a place to stay near Taipingzhou. Wait for my next order and continue to report anything. 】

After explaining the next matter to V, Leon hung up the phone. Bryce's appearance was not necessarily a bad thing, at least it could prove that Europa did have a tendency to come to Night City.

And as long as it dares to come, Li Ang has ten thousand ways to deal with Europa!

"You're lucky, my boss happens to know the senior executives of your company, so we are half our own."

V took back the eight-star gun shotgun in his hand and pulled Bryce up from the ground. Seeing that the other party was still in a state of shock, V suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

If he had been more aggressive, this guy might have been so frightened that he shit his pants on the spot.

"My name is V, and I am also a company agent, but I can't tell you which company I am from yet." V introduced himself to Bryce.
