Rushing out of the edge of the city, the Earth Spider left the last man-made building behind.
Entering the countryside, she looked back at Anjiu City. The silhouette of the entire city was composed of hundreds of huge commercial buildings. They all seemed to be covered by a higher level of will, and they were no longer as peaceful as before.
Her hands and feet were weak and she no longer had enough strength to move.
Earth Spider stumbled into the forest, and she saw a synthetic man guarding the road into the dense forest to prevent citizens from going deep into the forest where supernatural forces spread.
"There's no need to go any further." It glanced at the Earth Spider and then lowered its head.
Not only is there danger in the city, but there is also great terror in the forest.
Earth Spider looked at the forest land in the distance. The extremely dense forest replaced the barren mountains and mountains in his childhood memories. He couldn't tell which one he liked better.
She felt as if she had put her hand deep into the dark box and was stung by a scorpion. Earth spiders like to be with insects and know how terrifying it is. She felt very regretful. Why did she spy on the information of Nisto Company? Now her life was in danger.
Earth Spider didn't understand what happened just now, but there was only one thing she could confirm.
——There are "ghosts" living in the network system of the northern archipelago.
It has swallowed up everything and assimilated everything.
No matter what she did, she wanted to escape from this unsolvable power.
By the way, even if this information is passed back... we must let the president know that the northern archipelago is no longer something Nioh Security can return to, and this is not home.
Earth Spider turned around and saw 10 sharp soldiers already appearing at the edge of his field of vision.
They are reinforced armored riot-control versions, and they carry anaconda heavy assault rifles manufactured by Nisto.
"You're under arrest." said the leading synthesizer.
The Earth Spider thought that she could kill them if she resisted, but it was meaningless. The production capacity of large companies was hundreds of millions of times hers. If one fell, a hundred would stand up.
We can only take one step at a time.
At the moment, Earth Spider hopes that her old friend Yoshioka Mizuiro can use her connections as the deputy head of the Witch Department to get herself out of the situation...
Earth Spider gave up resistance, was handcuffed, and was escorted into a black shuttle by the synth.
Thirty minutes later, Yoshioka Mizuro received the news and hurriedly set off to redeem the person at the Ten-chome Security Bureau in Nancheng District, Anjiu City.
"This must be a misunderstanding." Mizuro Yoshioka registered the information at the window and entered Naomi Mishima's real name, hoping that she would be exempted from jail.
"She was arrested for suspected corporate espionage," explained the midnight watchman behind the window.
"Is the situation serious? Can I talk to her?" Yoshioka Mizuiro said hurriedly.
"Go on, we are still collecting some evidence of the crime." The officer on duty opened the door of the side corridor so that she could go to the detention room at the back.
Tu Zi has been staying here since she was arrested. Her handcuffs have not been removed yet, and she is sitting on a long metal stool with a worried expression.
After Yoshioka Mizuiro came in, Douzi looked particularly depressed.
"I'm very sorry - I just came back and caused something like this." Tu Spider apologized first.
"I really didn't know you would do this to me. Do you know how difficult it is for me to do this? I still regard you as my friend. You clearly know that I serve Nisto Company, but you still... forget it, after all,
Don't you agree with each other? Your loyalty has been sold to Nioh Security Company." Yoshioka Mizuiro blamed.
"..." Earth Spider looked worried.
Of course she could escape from here with the skills of the earth spider, but the strange network existence had warned her that escaping would be useless.
This is also true. This is a large island surrounded by sea. Unless we can get a long-distance navigation vehicle, it is impossible to escape from the northern archipelago.
At the moment, Earth Spider can only listen to Yoshioka Mizuiro's complaints and swallow the guilt that Yoshioka Mizuiro is trying to implant in his heart.
What’s even more frightening is that Tu Zi doesn’t know how Nisto Company will try her. Although she has not obtained any substantive information, this kind of snooping and attempt is already a classified felony. She may face 3 to 5 years in prison.
disaster, and Niou's security will definitely not go to war for the sake of earth spiders.
Soil spider...a spider buried in the soil.
Frustrated, she didn't even dare to look up at Yoshioka Suise.
Yoshioka Mizuki looked at her childhood friend with her head bowed and lost in front of her, but what she thought of was the situation when they lived on the street back to back. The memories superimposed on the reality in front of her, coupled with the difference in identity between the two parties, naturally made bitter thoughts take root in her heart.
"You still don't understand the current situation in the northern archipelago." Yoshioka Mizuiro shook his head.
"There is a 'ghost' here, and there is a monster in the online world." Earth Spider murmured.
"I can't help you if you provoke something like that." Yoshioka Mizuiro's heart skipped a beat.
"what do I do?"
"Atonement." Yoshioka Mizuiro frowned, "If you are willing, it will make a deal with you."
"Any kind of deal is fine. I just want it to make it clear to me. No matter what it wants me to do, it's fine." Earth Spider sighed.
Only by escaping the punishment of this Internet ghost can Earth Spider's life return to normal.
Not long after, the staff walked through the corridor and took the key to open the shackles on the earth spider's hands.
"I'm sorry, Miss Mishima. We just checked and there is nothing under the Hearst Club," the staff member said.
"What?" Earth Spider was stunned.
"It's what you said in your confession that you were going to conduct secret intelligence transactions... There is indeed a room downstairs in the Heshe Club, but it's just a warehouse filled with sundries. It's not like you said three people were killed.
A hacker, something with a talking voice." the staff explained.
"So the spy also made a mistake?" Yoshioka said with a happy face.
"Yes, there must be a mistake. However, Miss Mishima's own confession is also very strange. Follow-up investigation is still needed, but we are ready to go," the staff member said.
"I..." Tu Zizi didn't know what to say. She watched the handcuffs fall off her wrists, feeling frightened, "I..."
"The Hearst Club is a nice empty bar. Speaking of which, I also want to take it down and turn it into a business." Yoshioka Mizuro changed the subject, trying to ease the look of panic on Earth Spider's face.
According to Yoshioka Mizuiro, the so-called corporate espionage accusation is completely wrong.
"No...have you been there? Did you really go in from under the boss's office? You definitely didn't go there..." Tu Spider stammered.
"We have checked and turned the place upside down. There is nothing. It is empty. Ms. Yoshioka, you'd better bring your friends to 'check' too. Then... I'll leave first." The staff member shrugged.
Shrugging, then turned and left.
Earth Spider walked outside in despair.
It was already dark, and the weather was extremely windy, cold, and snowy outside. It was not like a normal May at all.
She lowered her head to check her cell phone, but she did not find the "It's useless to run away" message entry.
The little fool stood in the front hall of the security bureau, holding a white ice cream in his hand, walking around in a serious manner, pointing at the carpets, wall decorations, smart screens and monthly outstanding employees.
She waved to Earth Spider and Yoshioka Mizuiro coming from a distance.
"Want to have dinner?" the little fool asked expectantly.
"We...I have to check that place again, the Hearst Club." Earth Spider turned to Yoshioka Mizuro and emphasized.
"Don't..." Yoshioka Mizuiro had had enough.
"Listen to me, right there, in the basement of the Hearst Club, there are three network access cabins, three corpses, and three hackers who were famous in the past died in them. The staff here did not check carefully.
"Please, Aqua, no, Bacchus! Please, come with me to check again." Earth Spider almost begged.
"...Lead the way." Yoshioka Mizuro picked up the little fool with both hands, "It seems we have to obey your ninjutsu teacher, Xu Cheng."
When they arrived at the Hearst Club, Earth Spider entered according to the original route, perfectly replicating the situation when she first infiltrated. The place had obviously been inspected by people from Nisto Company. There were scattered footprints everywhere, even those that Earth Spider had missed before.
Many places have been inspected.
She entered the bar owner's office, and the trap door on the ground was still intact.
"They didn't check here. Look, it's right here." The earth spider stretched out the huge blade appendage on her back and pried it open from underneath.
Her sword foot quickly retracted.
Because she saw it was empty down there.
What about the explosion-proof password door? What about the metal door that opens after entering the key?
The earth spider quickly slipped through the trap door with a feeling that was almost crazy.
She was filled with fear when she saw a concrete corridor, which was actually gray cement! It was not covered with black pipes as she had seen before. The cement on the entire ground had already hardened, and it was definitely not something that could be poured in just a few hours.
.
Did she see everything wrong...
The only thing that gave her some comfort was that the length of the corridor had at least remained the same, indicating that the general structure of the space was still the same. The earth spider tremblingly walked through the corridor and entered the inner room.
She saw an empty wine cellar.
There are huge metal shelves everywhere. Their size is quite majestic. The parts must be disassembled before they can be transported down from the trap door. It also takes at least a month to assemble them. The wine barrels that are supposed to carry them are all
Disappeared, which is consistent with the background of the closure of this bar.
Where is my network access warehouse? Where is my hacker studio? Earth Spider groped in vain in the air. She kicked an aluminum can away with all her strength, and it bounced around in the empty room.
The Earth Spider walked back with a deathly expression on his face.
"Are you feeling better?" Yoshioka Mizuiro knew that she had asked a stupid question, but the Earth Spider looked even worse.
"No..." Earth Spider sighed.
Let him be.
"Just now... I can't explain clearly, why were you accused of espionage? And now there is no evidence at all? You didn't even leave any criminal record. Really... what happened in the past few hours?
"Yoshioka Mizuiro asked.
"I can't explain clearly, I will never be able to explain clearly." Tu Zizi was confused.
On the way to have a late-night snack, Tu Zizi's phone vibrated, and she picked it up to take a look.
There is only one eye-catching symbol on the black screen.
The base is an evil seven-pointed star, with a cross made of metal imprinted on it, and in the center shines the illusion of a roaring evil ghost.
"I saw a talented ninja." The hoarse voice said.
The earth spider stopped, feeling a kind of morbid satisfaction in his heart.
"You're finally here... Whatever you do, let me go." Earth Spider begged in a low voice.
"Are you willing to pay the price?"
"I am willing to pay the price, because there is no point in escaping." Earth Spider has completely understood the power of the thing in front of him.
"You've been given a mission - to spread the word about me."
"Are you a cyber monster? If you were spread all over the world... wouldn't it be..."
"Yes, I will pollute the entire world's Internet."
"The Sea of Hillis that invades other areas." Earth Spider felt horrified.
If such out-of-control artificial intelligence "cyber monsters" are allowed to spread to other places, things will be much more dangerous. All parts of the world have long been divided, and each region has different Sea of Silis systems, forming an isolated network world.
state.
If the cyber monster is "transplanted" to other places...
Earth Spider now understands what atonement Yoshioka Mizuiro is talking about.
Well, in order to get rid of the entanglement of cyber monsters once and for all, Earth Spider can only sacrifice the network in other areas of the world.
"Reshuzhou is very fragile. The network security there is almost nonexistent and there are no decent hackers. However, there is countless gold and wealth there, which is why we operate there. Our Nioh Security Company has operations there.
, you can be transplanted to the network facility center of Zangos, and you can start your conquest from there." Earth Spider said cautiously.
After the deal was concluded, the cyber monsters and ghosts on the mobile phone screen gradually faded away.
The earth spider breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought that there were many companies trying to send agents to sneak into the northern archipelago, and many hackers boasted about invading Nisto Company's Sea of Silis. She just felt it was funny and ironic. Try it - be controlled by this invisible and greedy out-of-control artificial intelligence.
After swallowing it, there is no boundary between reality and illusion.
Earth Spider was thankful that it spared his life. In fact, with the situation just now and the more violent and out-of-control AI, Earth Spider would have been killed long ago.
This formidable... new order in the Northern Islands.
In front, the little fool was lying on Yoshioka Mizuro's shoulder.
"The ninjutsu teacher is mumbling alone in the back." The little fool stretched out his finger.
"Don't look at it, don't think about it." Yoshioka Mizuro sighed and patted the little fool on the back, "Let's go and eat."
