Night Hacker Chapter 177: Rainy Night Phantom
Chapter 178 Phantom of the Rainy Night
"Old man Bantian, this is Gu He's friend, she is drunk, let's help her to sleep."
"Uh, actually she was Lorna's friend first..."
In the alley, at the door of Bantian's apartment, Gu He and Lorna dragged the unconscious Pandora past.
Mr. Bantian sitting behind the cashier glanced at it, and he could naturally see the handcuffs on the hands of the unconscious woman. The light gold jacket and carrot pants were soaked by the rain. The old man just said to the two: "OK Engage."
"Okay." Lorna looked at Gu He, right, it's okay to dismember the body.
At that moment, the two dragged Pandora up the stairs, until they reached the room on the third floor.
Fortunately, there is no one else around at this time, so there is no need to talk too much, if Hana Sakai is there, it will scare you.
Pandora lay unconscious on the floor in the big tatami room. Lorna took off her metal hollow mask and the gold dress on her upper body. There was a white T-shirt under the gold dress. Chair.
Lorna took a bunch of wires and tied them up indiscriminately, and she had already borrowed a miracle helmet from Sister Vivienne. This triangular lead helmet can block the programmer's nerve signals and is used on prisoners. The most suitable.
Gu He had actually seen this helmet before, and Sophia had worn it before, so he knew it belonged to sister Vivienne.
"I owe Vivian a favor for this guy." Lorna muttered, "Don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you."
After she **** Pandora, she looked at the classic gold dress, "This dress is weird, it must be a strange thing."
As for the metal hollow mask, it is just an ornament.
Gu He looked at the golden clothes, and at Pandora who was tied like a **** girl.
This woman is really strong, and she is also of the same age. He and Lorna teamed up, but they almost fell down.
When the car passed by Licai just now, he got out of the car and ran to the fish pond, took the pair of pilot goggles and reported that he was safe, and had his personality integrity tested on the way back.
He only has 64% left, which is 1% lower than when he was at the lowest point in the wilderness. No wonder he looks like a mad cow when fighting.
And Lorna is only 68% left, and they almost have a big accident.
At this time, it's already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
Gu He didn't want to face the trouble of Pandora, "Lorna, shall we go to the cinema?"
"It's still early, let's finish it first." Lorna didn't want to cause him any trouble. Putting it in the apartment is not a long-term solution, and she has to work hard to take care of it. Finish it as soon as possible to see how to deal with this woman.
She went up and knocked on the triangular lead helmet, but there was no response, so she pressed the electric shock handcuffs to shock Pandora awake.
The unconscious Pandora twitched all over, and immediately struggled violently, but stopped after realizing it was futile.
The two holes in the helmet could reveal her eyes with black pupils. She saw the two people who had fought to the death before, and also saw the golden clothes and hollow mask thrown on the tatami floor in the distance.
She lost, she was tied...
"Wake up." Lorna said coldly, not interested in torturing the other party, "Give me an explanation, right now."
Gu He saw that Pandora's eyes still seemed to be unhurried, no different from when she was eating delicious tempura in Meitian, and she didn't yell, roar or get emotional like Sophia.
"I fell into your hands." Pandora said calmly, "However, many organizations are looking for me and have business ties with me, including Yakuza. If I disappear, tonight's business It's not a trivial matter, someone will investigate, and they will go to Mitian Tempura, and it will not be difficult to find you, and something will happen to you."
"Oh, thank you for reminding me." Lorna folded her arms around her chest, her tone seemed to be mocking herself:
"Don't you know me well, then you should know that I don't care about the consequences when I'm sober, and I'm going crazy now. If you don't give me an explanation, I will sink you tonight, At worst, I will flee back to the bone and blood area, and whoever wants to have more hands and feet can go in and arrest me."
Lorna, what should I do...
Gu He murmured a little in his heart, but knowing that he couldn't show his timidity now, Lorna didn't necessarily think so.
If Pandora has the upper hand, then this interrogation will be over.
Moreover, if you don’t go to the Bone and Blood area, you’ll go to the wilderness at worst, go to the Resurrection Society Tribe to find Miss Chiba and the others to play.
He suddenly thought, he had this kind of thought, and it is estimated that 64% personality integrity is really a bit low.
But maybe because of this, in Pandora's eyes, these two people are reckless and stubborn, street dogs are never afraid of any consequences when they do things.
The apartment room was still silent for a long time, and Lorna was so bored that she went to search for snacks.
Last night, she and sisters Sakai and Vivienne had a ruckus here, and left some potato chips, beer and so on. Just as Lorna opened a can of Blue Bird beer and took a sip, she was suddenly stunned by Pandora's words.
"Your father Lawton-Lude." Pandora said calmly, "It's all because of his personality data."
Gu He was also taken aback, thinking about what to do, but he didn't expect Pandora to say it directly...
"What are you talking about..." Lorna's face turned cold, her light green eyes were slightly sharp, "Be careful."
"You want a statement, this is the real one. Back then, a group of people, including the executioner who executed him, secretly kept your father's personality data in a read-only In the box."
Pandora talked about the rescue team, the read-only storage box, the key program, and the 12 program segments, everything.
Lorna listened silently while drinking beer, and when Pandora had finished speaking, she gave a chuckle and moved her lips deliberately, "You really know how to talk nonsense, being a doll is a waste of talent, you should become a fabricator of."
Gu He hesitated to speak, he didn't quite understand why Pandora was willing to say everything...
"Lorna Rudd, I know you, but you don't know me. Your family owes me one."
Pandora's black eyes froze slightly, and the more she spoke, the more different her tone became.
"My father was a member of the rescue team back then. It should be said that he took the lead in doing this.
"He is a hero professional and used to be an important member of the Bureau of Mysteries. You know, when I was young, I lived in the Garden District, and our family could go to hotels in the Eden Lake District for vacation. Later, his daughter Become a doll.
"This is why, because he was stupid. He went to rescue Lawton-Lude for the so-called righteousness, and sent his wife and daughter into danger. He said it was for my future, so it was for Now."
The smoky makeup on Pandora's eyes has long been blurred by the rain, and it seems to be a little red, but it doesn't seem to be.
"You just talk about it." Lorna frowned, "I found that your acting skills are better than many actors."
However, Pandora seemed to have completely opened up the conversation, and continued:
“At the beginning, the rescue team thought that it would not take long to 'resurrect' Rowdon-Lude, but a nuclear leak occurred in the Bone and Blood District, and the hearts of the whole city were so scattered. After these years, the rescue team's hearts also It's long gone.
"Those people are dead, missing, my father is the one who died. He is stupid, but not all the idiots in the team, someone sold the program segment and made a lot of money, so it turned out that this is just a business."
Pandora closed her eyes, as if not to let the fatigue in her eyes show.
"The longer time passes, the lower the value of Lawton-Lude's personality data. Go out and ask now, how many young people know who he is?
"Since this year, I have started to sell the program segment numbered 1 that was kept by my father and later handed over to me for safekeeping. I also found several people through the contact information agreed in the past, and all of them rescued the children of the team members. I bought The key program segments in their hands are also trying to sell.
“I paid someone to assassinate you, just to drive up the price of the key program segment.
"The logic is very simple. If you kill the Bone Blood Daughter, Bone Blood Town will move, and the wind will not be calm. Only in this way, Lawton-Lude is worth money, otherwise, he is just a forgotten loser.
"And if he can be resurrected, he must fight against the bank again. This is a simple truth, and his value lies in this."
Lorna laughed, "That's not necessarily true, no one can guess that bastard."
"Everyone knows that Lawton-Lude loves his daughter." Pandora said, "As for why you want to capture you alive, because your personality data is also valuable, even personality raw materials are also valuable. If something happens, it will be worth more. This is a long-term investment.
"I'm telling you this now, once you go toss around, the value of all key program segments will also increase.
"Understood Lorna, the purpose is the same, it's all just for money."
Gu He has been listening silently. If Pandora is telling the truth, then some mysteries will be solved.
But when he saw Lorna drinking beer, he obviously didn't believe it very much, thinking that the other party was making up nonsense.
"It's just for the money, you have no problem with me, my whole family still owes you one, right?"
Lorna started to get a little hairy, looking around as if looking for some torture tool, "Then I will pay you back now, do you want a cigarette or a bottle of beer? Look at you, what do you want so much money for? Now even a cigarette has to be given by others."
"I want money because only with money can I live better." Pandora said slowly.
"That gold dress cost a lot, right?" Lorna looked around the corner, "I don't see how you are doing well."
"According to what you said, how many key program segments do you have now?" Gu He asked.
Pandora moved her eyes and looked at him, "You already knew that, right? You opened that encrypted file."
Gu He's heart skipped a beat, but Lorna didn't take it seriously, "He asked you a question, just answer it."
"Numbers 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, six paragraphs." Pandora counted one by one, "I already have a spiritual network. I still have a way to find the whereabouts of other people, this is my value, A hero's daughter.
"But this hero, who knows? You don't even believe there is such a thing."
"So, that's what you said, right?" Lorna gulped down a can of beer, "No change, right?"
"Of course you can sink me, but let me remind you." Pandora looked at Lorna, "If you can live long enough, you will know that this matter is true in the future, and then you may think, Why do I want to kill you? Is it because your father ruined my family...
"No, my father is an idiot. I did all this because I didn't want to be an idiot too."
After finishing speaking, Pandora closed her eyes, was **** and sat on the chair, and didn't say another word.
"Okay, I'll sink you now." Lorna's face turned cold, the other party violated her taboo, and she couldn't talk about that bastard.
"Lorna..." Gu He quickly grabbed her, "Wait a minute, calm down, Lorna! I have something to tell you."
Lorna looked at him anxiously, thinking of what Pandora said just now, she narrowed her green eyes slightly...
"You really have read that file." Pandora still closed her eyes, "My virus didn't work..."
"Let her stay here for a while, let's go out for a walk." Gu He pulled Lorna out of the room, and when he opened the paper sliding door, he turned back and said to Pandora: "Be honest. , there is an old Yakuza downstairs, you should know what kind of temper they have."
"I don't need to run." Pandora said, "She will understand."
Lorna with a cold face, her expression changing from time to time, followed Gu He downstairs. When she passed the door of the apartment, she said bluntly to the old man Bantian: "Don't let that woman run away, she will cut her if she makes a fuss."
Mr. Itada didn't say anything, but stroked the silver ring on his right thumb.
Not long after, the two of them left the alley and walked on the streets of Shouhui Street, the rain was pouring down at night.
They walked for a while in silence, passing a small movie theater with movie posters changing on the advertising screen on the outer wall, but none of them said they wanted to go in and take a look. The rain was a bit heavy, and there were not many pedestrians on the street.
The rain hit Lorna's red leather jacket and black leather pants, and also wet her black hair, "Call me out, don't you have something to say."
"Let's feel together first." Gu He sighed in his heart, the matter has come to this point, Lorna should know.
No matter how true or false what Pandora said, Lorna should know a fact.
As for copying and opening the customer's file, I will explain to Ms. Caiyin later that there is an error in the file.
At the moment, he activated the helmetless empathy of the Holy Grail program, released some blood threads in the back of the brain, and connected Lorna's cranial nerves from the messy black hair beside her. She allowed it to pass, and the empathy was successfully established.
He suddenly felt that her body was tightly wrapped by leather pants, as if her heart was tightly bound.
He suddenly understood why she always likes to dress so tightly, because she needs to suppress her hesitation in this way.
On the street in the rainy night, Gu He opened the database of the console, clicked to play the raw image of Lawton-Lude's personality, and suddenly saw a holographic projection in the rain in front of the two of them. Tall figure.
Although there are passers-by on both sides of the street, only they can see it, which is actually playing in their heads.
Lorna's green eyes stared slightly, and Gu He felt that she was suddenly so nervous, restless, dazed, and blank...
Among the falling night rain and the flickering neon lights, a middle-aged man just appeared and took two steps.
The man is dressed in a red jacket and blue jeans. His short black hair hangs naturally, unable to get wet from the rain. His posture is casual, and there is a rebellious smile on his handsome and mature face.
"ROM?" The man looked at this side, as if looking at the two of them, and said, "That's when you guys open me up next time, I'll talk about this nonsense again. I guess it's also Isn't it the first time?"
Hearing this familiar and distant voice, Lorna's face trembled slightly...
"It's wonderful, it's wonderful. I have become a holy object, just like the foreskin that was cut off from the Holy Infant, the cow dung pulled from the green cow of the Taoist ancestor, and the kidney stone left by the burned body of the Buddha." The man laughed again.
Lorna laughed lightly, and Gu Hegong felt that her emotions were so complicated that it was hard to tell if she was excited or not.
Lawden-Lude's figure kept flickering in the rain, penetrated by the rain, and hazy by the neon lights of the shops and buildings.
Pedestrians hurried past with black umbrellas and transparent plastic umbrellas, but they couldn't see the ghost that once set the entire Streamer City on fire. They came and went, just past Lawton Lude.
Blue, purple, and red neon lights couldn't hide the firmness in the man's eyes.
"No matter how many times it is." The man said again, his tone a little softer, "Whoever sees me, please tell Lorna for me, she is really cute. I have always been for her And fight, as long as she lives well, her mother and I will win. Otherwise, you think I will care about how you **** are doing?"
At this time, the figure of the man tugged hazy in the rain, and suddenly disappeared, leaving only the usual neon rainy night.
Lorna didn't know if she was crying, her eyes were moist, maybe it was rainwater.
But isn’t the night rain always cold, why is it so hot...
Gu He didn't say anything, just quietly stayed by her side.
"Where's my mother, isn't there?" After a while, Lorna suddenly asked, her voice hoarse.
"There is no..." Gu He could only truthfully say.
"Okay. This **** has been around for more than ten years, and he is not old at all, so he earned it."
Lorna raised her head, then lowered her head, not knowing where to put her eyes, "Gu He, you should have told me about this earlier, but I don't blame you, our relationship was not that good before. , If you are willing to tell me now, I will thank you."
Gu He knew it wasn't that simple, so she said thank you, but the Cowherd's value didn't increase at all, she was very sad.
"What are you going to do?" he asked.
Lorna looked at the high-rise buildings that gradually blurred in the distance from the street~IndoMTL.com~The starless night sky was covered with misty rain and fog.
It is always raining in Kabukicho, and she has lived here for many years, from a mouse to almost twenty years old now.
She is familiar with every little detail of Shouhui Street, where the phone booth is broken and can spit out coins, which vending machine can drop things with a few kicks, the garbage dumps in the alleys, the messy shops in the small streets, wearing An otaku in the shape of an anime character, a bosozoku driving a motorcycle...
She is familiar with this place, it is like her home, but just, like.
Suddenly, she remembered some other scenes, those scenes in the Bone and Blood District that she had never forgotten.
However, she was already homeless.
"I don't know, I really don't know." Lorna said softly, disconnected the connection of empathy, and walked forward slowly in the rain.
Gu He followed up again, and followed her, watching her face being continuously hit by the rain, it was not very pleasant.
He suddenly saw something, so he ran to a street grocery store to buy an old black umbrella, and then chased after him, putting Lorna and himself under the umbrella, in this misty night The rain gradually moved away from the street crowd.
