Night Hacker

   Chapter 178 The Phantom of the Rainy Night

   "Old Man Bantian, this is Gu He's friend. She is drunk. Let's help her up to sleep."

   "Uh, actually she was Lorna's friend first..."

  In the alley, Gu He and Lorna dragged the unconscious Pandora past the entrance of Itada's apartment.

   Mr. Itada, who was sitting behind the cashier, glanced at him, and naturally he could see the handcuffs on the unconscious woman's hands. The pale gold shirt and radish pants were soaked by the rain. The old man just said to the two, "Do it well."

   "Okay." Lorna looked at Gu He, right, it's okay to divide the body.

   At this moment, the two dragged Pandora up the stairs and dragged them all the way to the room on the third floor.

   Fortunately, there is no one else around at this time, so there is no need to be more verbose, if Sakai Huaqing is there, it will be frightened.

  Pandora was lying unconscious on the floor of the large tatami room. Lorna took off her metal hollow mask and the gold clothes on her upper body. There was a white T-shirt under the gold clothes, and she was helped to sit on a chair with a back.

Lorna took a bundle of wires and tied it up indiscriminately, and had already borrowed a strange thing helmet from Sister Vivienne. This triangular lead helmet can block the programmer's nerve signals and is most suitable for prisoners. .

  Gu He had actually seen this helmet before, and Sophia had worn it before he knew it was Sister Vivian's thing.

   "I owe Vivian a favor for this item." Lorna muttered, "Don't worry, this has nothing to do with you."

   After she tied Pandora, she looked at the classic golden clothes, "This clothes is weird, it's probably 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 **** like a **** girl.

   This woman is really strong and her age, but he and Lorna almost fell for each other when they joined forces.

   When the car passed by Li Cai just now, he got out of the car and ran to the fish pond, took the pair of pilot goggles and reported safety. On the way back, he checked his personality integrity.

   He only has 64% left, which is 1% lower than when he was at the lowest in the wild, no wonder he is like a mad cow when fighting.

   And Lorna has only 68% left, and it's almost a big accident.

   At this time, after tossing back and forth, it is already past eleven o'clock in the evening.

  Gu He didn't want to face the trouble of Pandora, "Lorna, let's go to the cinema?"

   "It's still early, let's finish it first." Lorna didn't want to cause him any trouble. It's not a long-term solution to keep it in the apartment, and she has to wait hard. Finish it as soon as possible and see how to deal with this woman.

   She walked up and knocked on the triangular lead helmet, but there was no response, so she pressed the electric shock handcuffs to wake up Pandora.

  The comatose Pandora twitched all over, and immediately struggled abruptly, stopping when she found it was futile.

The two holes in the    helmet could reveal her black pupil eyes. She saw the two people who had fought to the death before, and also saw the golden coat and the hollow mask being 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, just now."

   Gu He saw that Pandora's eyes still seemed to be calm, no different from when she was eating delicious tempura in Mita, and she didn't yell, roar or get emotional like Sophia.

"I'm in your hands," Pandora said calmly, "but there are multiple organizations looking for me, all of whom have business ties with me, including Yakuza. If I disappear, tonight's matter will not be a trivial matter. , someone will investigate, and they will find Mita Tempura, it will not be difficult to find you, you must have an accident."

   "Oh, thank you for reminding me." Lorna put her arms around her chest and said in a tone of self-deprecation:

"Don't you know me very well, then you should know that when I am clear-headed, I do things regardless of the consequences, not to mention that I am going crazy now. If you don't tell me, I will sink you tonight, and I will run away. Go back to the bone and blood area, whoever wants more hands and feet can go in and catch me."

  Lorna, what should I do...

  Gu He was a little muttered in his heart, but knowing that he couldn't show his cowardice now, Lorna didn't necessarily think so.

   If Pandora has the upper hand, the interrogation is over.

   Also, if you don’t go to the Bone and Blood area, the big deal is to go to the wilderness, go to the recovery club tribe to find Miss Chiba and the others to play with.

   He suddenly thought that he had this idea, and estimated that 64% personality integrity was really a bit low.

   But perhaps because of this, in Pandora's eyes, these two are reckless and stubborn, and street dogs are never afraid of consequences.

   The apartment room was still silent for a long time, and Lorna was so bored that she rummaged for some snacks to eat.

   Last night, she and Sakai and Vivian sisters were noisy here, and left some 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 Roton Ludd." Pandora's voice was calm, "It's all because of his personality data."

  Gu He was also stunned, 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 pale green eyes 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 box on the Mind Network. "

  Pandora talked about the rescue team, the read-only storage box, the key program, and the 12 program segments.

  Lorna listened silently while drinking beer. After Pandora had finished speaking, she snorted and twitched her lips deliberately, "You're such a nonsense, it's a waste of talent to be a doll, you should be a fabricator."

  Gu He hesitated, not quite understanding how Pandora was willing to say it all...

   "Lorna Ludd, I know you, but you don't know me, and your family owes me a share."

  Pandora's black eyes twitched slightly, and the more he spoke, the more different his 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's a heroic professional and used to be a key member of the Mystery Bureau. You know, when I was a kid, I lived in the Garden District, and our family could go to hotels in the Eden Lake District for vacation. Later, his daughter became a doll.

"That's why, because he was stupid. He went to rescue Lawton-Ludd and put his wife and daughter in danger for the so-called righteousness. He said it was for my future, and it was for the present. "

  Pandora's smoky makeup has long been blurred by the rain, and it seems to be a little red, but it doesn't seem to be.

   "Go ahead." Lorna frowned, "I found your acting skills are better than many actors."

   However, Pandora seemed to have completely opened the conversation box and continued:

"In the beginning, the rescue team thought that it would not take long to 'resurrect' Roton-Lude, but a nuclear leak occurred in the bone and blood area, and the hearts of the whole city were scattered. After all these years, the rescue team's heart has long been scattered .

   "Those who died died, the missing disappeared, my father was the one who died. He was stupid, but not all the fools in the team. Some people sold the program and made a lot of money. It turned out that it was just a business."

  Pandora closed his eyes, as if not letting the tiredness in his eyes show.

   "The longer time passes, the less valuable Roton-Ludd's personality data is. Now go out and ask, how many young people know who he is?

"Since this year, I began to sell the program segment numbered 1 that was kept by my father and later handed to me for safekeeping. I also found a few people with the contact information agreed at the time, all of them rescued the children of the team members, and I bought them. The key program segment is also trying to sell it.

   "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 Boneblood Daughter, Boneblood Town will move, and the wind will not be calm. Only in this way, Roton-Ludd is valuable, 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 is all there."

  Lorna laughed, "That's not necessarily, no one can guess that bastard."

"Everyone knows that Roden-Ludd loves his daughter." Pandora said, "As for why he wants to capture you alive, because your personality data will also be valuable, even the personality raw materials. If Roton can really be resurrected in the future, what can he do? , it is more valuable, this is a long-term investment.

   "I told you this now, as soon as you go tossing, the value of all key program segments will also increase.

   "Understood Lorna, the purpose is the same, it's all just for the money."

  Gu He has been listening silently, if Pandora is telling the truth, then some of the mysteries have been solved.

   But when he saw Lorna drinking beer, he obviously didn't really believe it.

   "It's just for money, you have no problem with me, my whole family still owes you a share, right?"

Lorna was starting to get a little hairy, and she looked around as if she was looking for some torture tool, "Then I'll pay you back now, do you want a cigarette or a bottle of beer? Look at you, what do you want for so much money, and now you're even rooted. You need someone else to give you cigarettes."

   "I want money because only with money can I live better." Pandora said slowly.

   "That golden coat cost a lot, right?" Lorna looked at the corner, "I don't see where you are living well."

   "According to your statement, how many key program segments do you have now?" Gu He asked.

  Pandora's eyes shifted and looked at him, "You already know that, right? You opened that encrypted file."

   Gu He's heart was abrupt, but Lorna disagreed, "He asked you a question, just answer it."

"Numbers 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 10, six paragraphs." Pandora said one by one, "I already exist in the spiritual network. I still have a way to find the whereabouts of other people, this is my value, the 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, "It hasn't changed, has it?"

"Of course you can sink me, but I remind you." Pandora looked at Lorna, "If you live long enough, you will always know that this is true in the future, and then you may think, why do I think Did I kill you because your father ruined my family...

   "No, my father is an idiot, I just do this, I just don't want to be an idiot."

   After Pandora finished speaking, he closed his eyes, was tied and leaned back on the chair, and did not say a word.

   "Okay, I'll sink you now." Lorna's face froze, the other party committed her big taboo, and can't talk about that bastard.

   "Lona..." Gu He hurriedly grabbed her, "Wait first, calm down, Lorna! I have something to tell you."

  Lorna looked at him eagerly, thinking of what Pandora said just now, her green eyes narrowed slightly...

   "You really have seen 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, downstairs. There is an old Yakuza, you should know what kind of temper they are."

   "I don't need to run." Pandora said, "She will understand."

  Lorna had a cold face, her expression changed from time to time, and followed Gu He downstairs. When she passed by the door of the apartment, she said bluntly to the old man Bantian: "Don't let that woman run away, she will cut her when she makes a noise."

   Mr. Itada said nothing, just stroked the silver ring on his right thumb.

   Not long after, the two walked out of the alley and walked on the streets of Shouhui Street, the night rain was dripping.

   They walked silently for a while, passing a small movie theater. The advertising screens on the outer wall were changing with movie posters, but they didn't say they wanted to go in and have a look. The rain was a little 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 empathize 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 guest's file, when I went back and explained to Miss Caiyin, it was said that there was an error in the file.

   At this moment, he activated the helmetless empathy of the Holy Grail program, releasing some blood threads from the back of his head, connecting Lorna's cranial nerves between the messy black hair beside him, she allowed it to pass, and the empathy was successfully established.

   He suddenly felt that her body was tightly wrapped by the leather pants, just like her heart was tightly restrained.

   He suddenly understood why she always liked to dress so tight, because she needed to suppress her hesitation.

  On the street in the rainy night, Gu He opened the database on the console and clicked to play the raw material image of Lawton-Ludd's personality. Suddenly, in front of the two of them, a tall figure like a holographic projection appeared in the rain.

  Although there are passersby on both sides of the street, only they can see it, it is actually playing in their minds.

  Lorna's green eyes stared slightly, Gu He felt that she was suddenly so nervous, uneasy, dazed, blank...

  In the night rain and the flashing neon light, a strong-aged man just appeared and took two steps.

  The man was dressed in a red jacket and blue jeans, with short black hair flowing naturally, unable to get wet by the rain, his posture was casual, and a rebellious smile hung on his handsome and mature face.

"Read-only memory?" The man looked over here, as if looking at the two of them, and said, "That's when you open me up next time, and I'm going to say this nonsense. I guess it's not the first time?"

   Hearing this familiar and distant voice, Lorna's face suddenly trembled slightly...

"Miao, Miao is home. I have become a sacred object, just like the foreskin that was cut off by the Holy Infant, the cow dung pulled by Daozu's green cow, and the kidney stones left by the burning of Buddha's corpse." The man said again. laughed.

  Lorna chuckled, Gu Hegong felt that her mood was so complicated that it was hard to tell whether she was excited or not.

The figure of   Rawden-Ludd kept flashing in the rain, penetrated by the rain, and obscured by the neon light of the shops and buildings.

   Pedestrians hurried past with black umbrellas and transparent plastic umbrellas, but could not see the ghost that once set the entire Liuguang City on fire. They came and went, just past Roden Ludd.

  The various neon lights of blue, purple, and red couldn't hide the firmness in the man's eyes.

"No matter how many times." The man said again, his tone a little softer, "Whoever sees me, see Lorna and tell her for me, she is really cute. I have always fought for her, As long as she survives well, her mother and I will win. Otherwise, do you think I care about how you idiots are doing?"

   At this time, the figure of the man was tugging dimly in the rain, and suddenly disappeared, leaving only the usual neon rainy night.

  Lorna didn't know if she was crying, her eyes were wet, maybe it was the rain that fell.

   But isn't the night rain always cold, how can it be so hot...

  Gu He didn't say anything, just stayed by her side quietly.

   "Where's my mother, isn't she?" After a while, Lorna suddenly asked, her voice hoarse.

   "There's nothing in that document..." Gu He could only tell the truth.

   "Okay. This **** has been around for more than ten years. He's not old at all. He earned it."

Lorna raised her head and lowered her head again, not knowing where to put her eyes, "Gu He, you should have told me about this long ago, but I don't blame you, our relationship was not that good in the past, you now Just tell me, and I'll thank you."

  Gu He knew that it was not that simple, so she said thank you, but the Cowherd value did not rise at all, she was very sad.

   "What are you going to do?" he asked.

  Lorna looked at the high-rise buildings gradually blurred in the distance on the street, the starless night sky was covered with misty rain and fog.

   It is always raining in Kabukicho, she has lived here for many years, from mouse to now almost twenty years old.

She is familiar with every little detail of Shouhui Street, where the telephone booth is broken and can spit out coins, which vending machine can drop things after a few kicks, the **** heap in the alley, the messy shops in the small street, dressed in anime characters The otaku of the otaku, the tyrannical man who drives a motorcycle...

   She was familiar with this place, it was like her home, but just, like.

  Suddenly, she remembered some other scenes, those scenes in the bone and blood area that she had never forgotten.

   But, she has long been homeless.

   "I don't know, I really don't know." Lorna said softly, disconnecting the sympathetic connection, and walked slowly forward in the rain.

  Gu He followed up again, following next to her, watching her face being beaten by the rain, which was not very pleasant.

When he saw something suddenly, he ran to a street grocery store and bought an old black umbrella, and then chased after him again, putting Lorna and himself under the umbrella, in this foggy night rain street crowd gradually move away.
