The Witch of the Cyberpunk Era

Du Qianqian drove Rachel out of the apartment in a light and cheap shuttle, left it casually on the parking drive of a restaurant, and then took Rachel to escape on foot.

"Don't you find it strange that I just dropped it like this?" Du Qianqian asked.

"You try to take validation from other people's evaluations. To match you, I'd say you behaved very freely and thoughtfully," Rachel said.

"There is no way to see your father for the last time, we have to find a way to escape."

"certainly."

Even when meeting Rachel for the first time, Du Qianqian still felt that Rachel was very suitable for her taste.

Rachel is well-trained and calm, and implies an attitude of looking down on Du Qianqian. Du Qianqian was satisfied with every item.

It is still a bit troublesome to send Rachel back to Beijing safely from here. The two places are separated by oceans, which is far away.

But an order is an order, and Du Qianqian will find a way to send this woman who has just lost her father to the protection of Nisto Company.

"What's that?" Du Qianqian saw Rachel sorting out the items from the apartment, including a silver tin can.

"Inheritance. Inheritance in that family." Rachel hid the silver tin can deep in her handbag. "You got me for an inheritance too, I understand. Keeping me from falling into the hands of my father's employers. My My father has disappeared from this world, and I cannot follow in his footsteps."

"Of course, you can escape by following some rules. First, obey my orders; second, don't make your own claims; third, don't inquire about my personal situation." Du Qian said without looking back.

"It seems that the first rule can contain the next two rules."

"Uh, anyway...almost."

"Have you been communicating with people using low-density, imprecise language?" Rachel asked.

"Let's not talk about this." Du Qianqian kept transforming, looking for a suitable appearance, and her voice was constantly changing, from a vigorous middle-aged male voice to a hoarse elderly voice, "...why do you have so many names? ?”

"Rachel Miller is the name given to me by my father, Maverick, who married Kyoko Nakamura, and I grew up with my mother, who gave me another name 'Akina Nakamura'. As you can see, I have a typical appearance of a young woman from the Eastern Hemisphere, so I'm more used to working under the name of Akina Nakamura, which is also my name in the company. When I was working as a hacker, my code name was 'Akira'."

Du Qianqian took Rachel to a dirty alley, where a Nisto company operator left a package of new clothes and supplies, all wrapped in army green rubber leather.

"Put on your clothes. Also, you have too many names, which confuse me. From now on, your name is 'Nakamura Rachel'." Du Qianqian ordered.

"Naming is an act of swearing ownership. Do you regard me as your property now?" Rachel put on the new clothes provided by Du Qianqian.

At the same time, Rachel flipped a switch in her jaw, and her facial prosthesis began to slide, almost like a theatrical face-changing, one mask retracted deep in the skull, and the other mask slid out.

The moment the two masks alternated, Du Qianqian saw that there were sophisticated circuit parts under Rachel's face.

High-definition cameras replaced eyeballs, and metal frames replaced jaws, nose bones, cheekbones, and other bony supports, as if Rachel's entire face had been printed in metal.

Du Qianqian frowned and said nothing.

"You feel speechless because you find that modern technology can replace your magic power." Rachel Nakamura walked out of the alley with Du Qianqian.

"It's because I'm starting to think you're boring." Du Qianqian said.

"You must have a safe house here," Rachel said.

She looked at Du Qianqian's current appearance, and she transformed into a 2-meter-high transformed human giant, just like the famous Aiden Breaker back then.

"Yes, but we can't visit frequently. We have to walk aimlessly across dozens of meters like strangers, talking to ourselves." Du Qian walked forward.

On the west coast, the most chaotic and lawless city in Xintaizhou, the fallen metropolis in ruins.

Under the high-speed luxury shuttle, there are a large group of poor people waiting to die. The streets are horribly dirty, the garbage dumps surrounded by barbed wire are full of dying people, lifeless, they have nowhere to go due to factors such as starvation, disability and terminal illness, they sit quietly on the street, and the scavengers walk by like picking goods They grabbed the relatively strong and complete ones.

Every moment, someone in sight fell, or was killed. They are just as unbearable as some kind of cockroaches, they just stick to the ground, and they will die and disappear after a few days, just like the npc in the game is refreshed because they are out of sight. Check back later, and you'll find a new batch has popped up.

There is no hope at all, the society is completely solidified, and the upward channels are extremely limited. If you want to make money quickly, you must commit crimes, attack, rob the company's property, or simply rob each other.

Any job may make you owe more loans, medical expenses, housing, loans for reconstructive surgery...anything can crush people to death. Sometimes people have to pay to go to work just to live another day.

When Du Qianqian was walking here, she could hear the roar of law enforcement officers and loud sirens every second, as well as the sound of vehicles slamming on the brakes or shuttles colliding with each other.

She could hear a group of law enforcement officers shouting orders a few hundred meters away, trying to control the situation, and she could hear them being outnumbered, overwhelmed, and calling for help.

On the street, many people stared at her suspiciously, and people of different ethnicities held groups together. Orientals, Andeans, blacks, Near Easterners, and Baixiangzhou people naturally formed different gangs all over the west coast. They were as brutal and bloodthirsty as a swarm of wild beasts, eliminating the weak.

Even though there is no corporate power here, Du Qianqian still feels that he is being watched and watched by thousands of eyes.

If she and Rachel Nakamura hadn't put on a good disguise, they would have been killed on the street by now.

After walking a few hundred meters, they stood at a dividing line guarded by drones.

Behind them was the chaos they had just walked through, and in front of them was a clean street.

Du Qianqian waved a law enforcement drone, which turned off the warning lights and then moved out of the way.

"'Hacker tool'?" Rachel Nakamura saw that Du Qianqian easily drove away the drone.

The firepower of that drone is enough to blow up an entire street, and unauthorized persons will never be allowed to enter a specific area.

"Of course." Du Qianqian said proudly.

"But you were not good at it." Rachel Nakamura observed Du Qianqian's work.

It seems that Du Qianqian has an electronic device that is beyond Rachel Nakamura's knowledge.

It can "take away" surrounding signals at will, create an amorphous signal disorder area around the user, and make the user itself almost transparent in the monitoring equipment.

It could presumably generate false information, as well as alter digital records and alter profiles registered in West Coast security systems to allow users to impersonate anyone.

"Our big boss is good at this. My job is to send you to the big boss to see if you have a valuable inheritance from your father. If you don't hand over something of value, you have to Die." Du Qianqian said.

Rachel Nakamura nodded. She did get the key file from the message Maverick left behind, a value that could keep her alive.

But, "big boss"?

This equipment is vital to those operating in covert operations. Rachel Nakamura thought to herself.

It can both prevent scanning and alter digital information records, with the ability to crack keys in real time.

Judging from the other party's description, it seems that this big leader can easily develop this advanced technology.

Meaning that he himself is probably a terrible technologist, and must be experienced and of a high standard.

Just like Father Maverick. Nakamura Rachel thought secretly. Before his death, his father seemed to have led a large-scale cyber attack on Nisto Corporation, but was repelled by Nisto Corporation's network surveillance, which became the cause of his father's death.

If I learn some skills from that big boss, I can probably avenge my father.

I hope this female spy is not from Nisto Company.

After passing through the inspection of the security robot, Du Qianqian and Nakamura Rachel came to a neat and beautiful neighborhood.

It is well maintained here, with tall green maple trees lining the sides like two colonnades.

On both sides of the street are vast green lawns and spacious single-family houses. Many children are laughing and playing. There are flagstone walks and dedicated bicycle lanes on both sides.

Bypassing these houses is a small commercial area, with a large parking lot, gas station, shuttle supply station on one side of the wide street, and shops such as boutiques, grocery stores, supermarkets and cafes on the other side. kind.

For fear of accidents offline, the vast majority of people choose to shop online, and countless cargo drones take off and land from these stores, like a swarm of bees, coming and going, transporting goods and food to customers' homes.

Large biped law enforcement robots patrol the streets. They are painted with colors, and the muzzles of heavy machine guns are also wrapped in plastic shells. They look like large toys, and they can be used as clown robots with some ribbons.

A few hours ago, Du Qianqian also saw that one of them was fully fired, killing about 400 gang members, but it happened in another area.

Du Qianqian took Rachel Nakamura to one of the stations, preparing to hide her in a container and ship her away.

"You're going to the northern archipelago soon." Du Qianqian said.

"Ah, Nistor Company." Rachel Nakamura knew that her hope was shattered.

I still have to cooperate with Nestor, a fast-growing industry giant.

She knew that this was good for both parties, and Nisto Corporation could get a lot of vital information from her, including news about the mysterious organization "Seven Seals". And I can also learn more advanced technology from Nestor until I become as good as my father.

"What do you know about Nisto Company?" Du Qianqian asked.

"A company that changes people's way of life. For 20,000, you can buy a low-priced female synthetic man to hug home and kiss. For another 5,000, hold an online wedding on Nisto's official website to unlock in-depth functions. Otherwise, the thing cannot be opened. All kinds of custom looks. Much cheaper than a real girlfriend. Even cheaper if you can hack technology," said Rachel Nakamura.

"Are you rich?" Du Qianqian asked.

"I work for an insurance company, and UU Reading www.uukanshu.com also makes money by attacking hospitals."

"Why did you attack the hospital? What does the hospital owe you?" Du Qianqian was curious.

"In some hospitals, for those who have been in a car accident, the doctor will say that there is no way to save them here, or quote a particularly high price to scare the family members, and then ask the family members to sign a contract while pretending to be rescued. Said: It can't be saved, donate now If you donate a liver and a kidney, you can exchange a lot of money; if you don’t sign it, you will die in vain, and there will be high surgery fees, leaving you and your money empty. Most people sign it.”

"But those people are not dead yet." Du Qianqian asked.

"The family members outside the door signed the contract, and the doctors entered the operating room, and began to operate while the injured were still alive. The people inside were cleaned up, and the people outside were waiting to get money. If some family members kindly want to give If relatives save more meat, the doctor will secretly take it away. Anyway, it will be put into the stove in the end, and no one can tell whether it is weighed or light, and it will be a handful of ashes in the end." Rachel said.

"Why are you so clear?"

"After all, that's what my dad did to my mom." Rachel Nakamura pointed to the silver tin can in her handbag.
