Cyberpunk: Nirvana of Shoko Toyokawa

[Oblivionis: Mortis, how about confidentiality? Make sure the port is not discovered——]

【Mortis: No problem.】

【Mortis: I use a camera that is not tracked. I have already done separation.】

Mu showed her hacking path.

She was familiar with the route. It seemed that Mu was quite experienced in this kind of city-wide search.

The map of the City of Music posted on the Ave Mujica channel was turning red at a considerable speed, which meant that the search of these areas had been completed.

Xiangzi had estimated how long it would take for Mu to complete the search, but now it seemed that it would take less than 2/3 of the total estimated time.

[Oblivionis: Mortis, your search is very fast. ]

【Mortis: This is the second time I've done this.】

It turned out that I had done it before. Therefore, I didn’t need to do a lot of preparation work - for example, the camera positions, I just needed to call the last instruction.

【Oblivionis: The second time?】

[Mortis: The first time was when I was looking for Oblivionis.]

【Oblivionis:……】

Indeed. After being expelled from the Toyokawa family, Mu conducted a city-wide search.

Xiangzi himself almost forgot about this matter.

She didn't know what to say for a moment. She was silent.

then.

【Amoris: Ahaha!】

Miao Meng interrupted the stalled conversation.

Chapter 2: Don’t Just Agree to Authorization When Going Online (7k Monthly Tickets Plus)

Miao Meng and Mu are both connected to the server, but they are responsible for different tasks.

Mu is checking all the available surveillance cameras in the public network of Lezhicheng.

The presence of the adjective "usable" means that there are still unusable parts.

There are also areas where surveillance cameras are not installed.

It was because of these reasons that Mu took a long time to find Xiangzi.

However, it's different now.

Miao Meng is responsible for another function of this server.

Its original function.

Miao Meng used the AI ​​[Mujina Carnival] installed on this server to connect with the brain-computers of all the Mujica [believers] who were sent back to the main city of Lezhicheng by Mujica at that time.

As for what to do to get connected...

...It's not a very clean thing to do.

【Mujina Carnival】 requested the authority held by these believers.

Including but not limited to the authority of the visual and audio signals captured by their artificial eyes and ears, the authority of the images captured by the cameras of the vehicles they own during driving and parking, and the authority of the non-confidential external cameras connected to the company network during their work...

...In short, everything that can be obtained will be obtained.

Miao Meng’s way of asking for permission is a bit insidious.

Because she packaged it a little bit, and made this request under the name of [Confirmation of Faith], and asked them to click on the dialog box for authorization.

"Confirming your faith" is a very useful expression. However, if it is used too often, believers will slide into two dangerous extremes: losing faith or becoming fanatical...

But this is an emergency after all.

It’s just for temporary use, no big deal!

Some believers did not click, but most of them gave their permission.

This allows Miao Meng to instantly confirm the situation around the more than 100 believers with different identities and different query environments distributed throughout the City of Joy, including confirming the focus of attention of the people around them, the use of probes around them, and some content that can only be obtained through internal access to the company.

Some believers have only a limited number of video access rights, which are around them, in their homes, or in their cars.

However, some other believers are very powerful.

They work in chain companies. They can access public camera probes at all points around the company and capture the situation of nearby non-public roads.

Some people also accessed the organization's personnel wireless channel and could hear what everyone in the company was discussing.

All of this information is captured, analyzed, and passed on to Miao Meng by AI.

This series of actions is a little bit like fraud.

However, Miao Meng believes that this is something that both parties are willing to do.

How can it be called fraud if we both agree to it?

[Amoris: Believers, long time no see~ As expected, you are still the best! ]

[Amoris: Although I haven't spoken to you yet, you are already the best subordinates in my mind! Yeah! ]

Miao Meng relied on this method to instantly grasp a lot of information -

Then, even faster than Mu, she found the first suspicious site.

[Amoris: ——Found it! Mortis, look here! ]

Miao Meng shared an audio clip on Ave Mujica's channel.

[——I know I'm late! But, Boss, please listen to my explanation——I didn't mean to do that. A chrome plate fell from the under-construction Sanhuan flyover and hit my car! There's still a big hole in my car——Please take a look at the report from the repair shop! Is this true——What? No, I didn't hit it myself——]

Those were words captured by a believer and spoken by his colleague.

[Oblivionis:...Okay. 】

After a needle-in-a-haystack search, the clue finally appeared.

Mu and Miao Meng immediately turned their focus to analyzing the third ring of Lezhicheng.

Comparing timelines, images and noises. Invisible radio waves are turning and jumping in the air.

Searching becomes faster.

Some information appeared.

Scattered fragments.

Burnt tire tracks.

It's hard to imagine what plowed the huge scar on the ground.

Someone was discussing "there was an explosion just now."

Some people are staying away from certain areas.

The main firefighting location seemed to be carefully planned. The signals there were all blocked.

...But what Xiangzi was looking for was not the [location of the firefight].

"!"

Have it.

Mu found the footage captured by a surveillance camera next to an overpass.

The surveillance camera was mainly facing the street below, but in a small corner of the picture, it captured a car with a charred body and deformed frame speeding past on the side of the overpass.

The remaining data showed that it was a [Colby] series sedan.

The damage to its outer shell makes it impossible for cheap urban construction cameras to distinguish its specific model, let alone track the license plate.

However, this is still the most important clue.

【Oblivionis: Follow. 】

Miao Meng and Mu put in their computing power. Soon, they calculated the approximate direction and speed of the vehicle, and compared them with the map of the City of Joy to analyze the direction the vehicle came from - indeed, it came from the signal screen cut-off area that was highly suspected to be the location of the exchange of fire just now -

They followed the direction the vehicle was heading and checked all the way forward.

More analysis reports are coming out.

Some of the better cameras captured the exterior of the car. They still couldn't capture the people in the car, but they could capture the exterior of the vehicle. Its left side was deformed by the explosion, and the front of the car was dented. Other scans showed that they couldn't connect to the vehicle's central control.

These characteristics are completely consistent with the car that Miao Menghemu was ejected from in an emergency.

The city-wide scan is complete.

No second vehicle with the same characteristics was found.

“(This is it.)”

Xiangzi thought.

If the target car is controlled by the "big guys", flipped over, destroyed, or even smashed to pieces...

Then naturally there is nothing to say.

But if the target car comes out...

Then it can only be this one.

All the analysis routes were fully synchronized to Hai Ling's brain. Hai Ling drove the Columbus according to the guidance of the analysis routes and pursued forward.

The [Colby] made a detour, but generally speaking, it was heading east.

Go east, go east. From Poppin'Party's territory, enter Pastel*Palettes' territory, and then go east again.

Further east is [Phase 2 of Reclamation New Land].

"..."

This burnt-out [Colby], is it going to [Reclamation New Land Phase 2]?

Xiangzi immediately thought of what she had ordered Miaomeng to do: let the car go to [Phase 2 of Reclamation New Land].

Is that directive still in effect?

"(No, that can't be determined completely.)"

Xiangzi kept himself calm.

There is another possibility: the [big shots] originally wanted this car to go to [Phase 2 of Reclamation New Land].

It is chaotic, turbulent and ownerless.

This is very possible considering that Poppin'Party did not keep the car at its base but sent it away.

"(Of course, it could also be a bait...)"

"(However, whether the [big shots] have the time, energy, and space to place bait during the firefight is another question... The possibility is very small... But small does not mean no...)"

Miao Meng's hack worked.

The big shot is letting this car go to [Phase 2 of Reclamation New Land].

This car was dropped as bait.

Xiangzi had no way of determining which of the three situations this was.

However, we can go first and see later.

"(No matter what, let's catch up first.)"

Xiangzi thought.

[Columbus] A freight van drives onto a viaduct.

Ahead is the road leading to [Phase 2 of Reclamation New Land]——

however.

"!?"

Xiangzi saw the headlights of the BCPD police car.
