Cyber ​​Ghost Record

Chapter 116-115: The Mission
When Yang Guan uttered the word "accident," Su Ge understood its meaning. Su Ge knew Li Wujiu's fate better than the Security Bureau; the real Li Wujiu had already escaped, and only a backup had died. The informant had only reported Li Wujiu's backup, but Su Ge couldn't say for sure whether the guy would retaliate. The understanding and concepts of digital life couldn't be judged by common sense.

However, rather than believing that something unexpected had happened, the security bureau actually thought it was more likely that the informant had voluntarily cut ties with the security bureau.

“You say this informant has made great contributions to the Security Bureau, but you seem to be very wary of him.”

"Because he was also on guard against the security bureau, we weren't even sure whether that informant was an individual or an organization."

As Bai Miao spoke, he conjured an air projection on the table, which displayed a large number of clues and a network of relationships.

"I've reviewed all the clues and criminal cases he's provided, and through the areas and networks involved in those crimes, I've deduced how he obtained the information. His possible scope of activity and identity have been deduced. Your task is to investigate this information—whether through cooperation, infiltration, or violence—to confirm their relationship with the target..."

"how many people?"

"There are more than 50,000 potential suspects, and this number could change at any time due to new leads."

"It's like finding a needle in a haystack."

"This is not a task for you alone; your performance during the task will determine whether you pass the probation period."

Even if it's not a task undertaken by him alone, this case is still several years in length, Su Ge thought to himself.

"How did the security bureau contact him before? All methods of communication have failed?"

"We're still trying," Yang Guan said. "Some information exchange channels are on the dark web, which is very troublesome to deal with."

"You can't access the dark web?"

"The dark web is very complex. Some dark web spaces are safe, while others contain corrupted data. If he really runs into trouble, the dark web space where he made contact before could very well have become a trap now."

“That’s just a virtual network. If you don’t want to be ‘contaminated,’ can’t you browse it using other devices?” Sog looked at his field of vision.
Yang Guan smiled. Su Ge seemed to have adapted to the times, but many of his ideas were still seriously outdated.

"It's a classic misunderstanding; your understanding of data is still very primitive. You assume there's a medium that can independently analyze data in the dark web, acting as a buffer between brain-computer interfaces and the dark web. Your old ideas make you subconsciously see this medium as a simple data terminal like a mobile phone or computer. But in reality, if there were a medium that could analyze data in the dark web space and spiritual realms, then it would have already reached the minimum standard for intelligent life."

"It can evolve on its own, and those polluted data will also affect its mental model. In the worst case, it will turn into a demon or monster."

Bai Miao's words were very certain, indicating that something similar had indeed happened. She glanced at Su Ge's field of vision, "As for the thing you're wearing, it can construct some virtual scenes, but it can't access the dark web, much less the spiritual realm, so don't think too much about it."

Cooperating with the security agency and only conducting a blanket search would be a complete waste of time. Suger pondered for a moment, then looked up at the two investigators.

"What if I could provide a sandbox?"

The sandbox he mentioned is a virtual technology that uses a virtual environment, independent of the main system, to isolate and run dangerous programs. This technology still exists today. Ultimately, those who sift through the sand for the gods, and even investigators within the security bureau, are essentially living sandboxes used to buffer malicious attacks.

The sandbox that Socrates mentioned, of course, refers to another type of person.

"As you can see, I can now command some gang members, and they can help me find the water ghost."

“Water ghost…” Bai Miao looked Su Ge up and down. “It seems you are indeed suitable for this job. Before the mission has even started, you are already quite adept at using your immunity.”

She stood up.

"I will send you the contact information, and now you can take your people away."

……

As he stepped out of the automatic doors, Bai Gui had a jacket draped over his shoulders, and his injuries had already received basic treatment. He looked back; the gray-white silicon nitride exterior walls reflected the blue-purple lights in the distance.

Suger was waiting for him at the intersection. He walked over and greeted him. Suger glanced at his injuries and asked, "How are the others?"

"It's nothing. We can still make a little money by stripping those people of their equipment." "You've probably already heard that someone is obstructing the group's charitable work."

"They're just a few smugglers; I know their background."

“I just happened to witness what happened on Shewei Street.” Sog scrutinized the White Ghost. “I didn’t use any other methods, but instead asked you to handle it. Do you know why?”

Bai Gui knew very well that if the Lugu Group wanted to do business in Yingchuan City, the Yingchuan Zong Council and the entire medical system were the real partners, while he was just a smuggler and had no right to be at the table.

His only role was to use his familiarity with the underworld and his accumulated strength to clear away a few troublesome obstacles for the Lugu Group.

If he can't even do this well, then he has no value whatsoever.

He had some unpleasantness with "Su Xing," but in this matter, the spokesperson gave him a chance.

"They won't be showing up again, Mr. Su."

"Remember what you said."

Suger nodded and walked toward the hovercar that had been waiting nearby, stopping again at the car door.

"By the way, help me find a few water ghosts, I have something to do."

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

White Ghost readily agreed and watched as Suger got into the car.

The scenery outside the car window rushed by, and out of the corner of his eye, Suger saw the White Ghost's figure shrink to an ant-like black dot. He hadn't intended to use the Water Ghost to explore the Dark Web; revealing the White Ghost's story was merely to conceal the fact that he himself could access the Dark Web.

He requested a communication with the executive officer, whose virtual avatar appeared in his field of vision. Before he could speak, the executive officer spoke first.

“If you want to tell me about what happened on Shewei Street, I already know.”

"It was originally just a small matter, but unfortunately it alerted the National Security Bureau, so I thought I'd let you know."

"You're quite good at handling these kinds of things," the executive smiled slightly. "However, since the group hired you as their spokesperson, all you need to do is maintain your own image."

“Fine.” Soger shrugged. “Then I was being nosy.”

“I’m just reminding you that White Ghost is just a smuggler, and that game is just a game. The corporation has its uses for him, but there’s no need to get too involved with him.” The executive looked at the pocket where Suger kept his pillbox. “By the way, you’d better kick your addiction before you actually attend any formal occasions, and you absolutely cannot have any prosthetic implants or bio-modifications.”

"I thought my role as a spokesperson was just a gimmick."

“Besides you, I can’t find another city hero who hasn’t been transformed. Don’t worry, you’ll soon receive your first payment.” The executive smiled slightly. “But you must also remember your obligations, or you may have to pay a penalty that you can’t afford.”

The executive officer's image disappeared.

Su Ge breathed a sigh of relief and looked out the window. Now he was an undercover agent for the Security Bureau, a city hero of Yingchuan, a badge of honor for the Spine of the Nation, and a spokesperson for the biomedical group…

His account balance popped up in the corner of his field of vision.

The account balance is 103703.42...

The 100,000 yuan loan he took out to mortgage his body expires tomorrow. After deducting that 100,000 yuan, he will be almost penniless, just like when he first woke up. Three months have passed, and he has not found the organization, but thanks to Shen Ke's bounty and the profits from the underground printing factory, he is fortunate enough not to be in debt and reduced to the point of not being able to save his body.
