Samir withdrew his smile, his expression turning serious. He closed the distance with Ren and made sure his words were fully conveyed.
"Ren, this mission is crucial and very dangerous," Samir's gaze sharpened. "The Voodoo boys approached me with a highly important task. As you know, the cyberspace in Night City has long been divided among various factions, and Voodoo boys controls a large portion of the subnetwork systems. However, recently, the 'Eye in the Sky' system from Regulatory oversight has started to pose a threat to their network. It's a new advanced network monitoring system that can detect, monitor, and even intervene in every network node in the Pacifica community."
Ren had heard of it, but still frowned: "The 'Sky Eye' system?"
Samir nodded, "Yes, this system is not only highly automated, but also has advanced AI recognition technology, which can almost instantly detect any abnormal network behavior. Since this system has been in operation, many secret operations of the Voodoo boys have been severely disrupted."
Ren Listened carefully and felt the seriousness of the situation.
Samir continued, "So, the Voodoo boys wants to find a skilled netrunner who can infiltrate the headquarters of Regulatory oversight and directly sabotage or manipulate the 'Heaven's Eye' system. This is not just for their own benefit, it also concerns the entire Night City's internet freedom."
Ren sighed softly and asked, "Then why don't they just come to me directly?"
Samir smiled slightly and replied, "After all, I have worked with you many times, so they know I can find you. And with me as the middleman, we can avoid unnecessary trouble. After all, not everyone wants to participate in the political games of Night City."
Ren gave a bitter smile, touched his own glass, and said, "It looks like I'm going to be involved in another big battle."
Ren furrowed his brow, stared sharply at Samir, and asked, "I'm a little curious, Samir. The Voodoo boys has such advanced hacking skills and deep resources. Their subnetwork system is under surveillance, so why don't they solve it themselves? Why involve outsiders in such a sensitive task?"
Samir leaned back on the sofa, smiling slightly, as if he had anticipated that Ren would ask this. He took a deep breath and explained, "Your question is very normal. In fact, the Voodoo boys has indeed tried many times, but without success. The 'Eye of Heaven' system's protection far exceeds their imagination, and the system there has some exclusive security measures, causing the Voodoo boys's hackers to be discovered every time they attempt to make contact, and there have even been a few close calls with counter-tracking."
He paused and continued, "And, as you know, the world is not just a matter of technology. Some things involve the struggle for interests, power, and territory. If Voodoo boys were to act on their own, it would likely raise the alert of other forces, or even cause bigger trouble. And you, Ren, as an external Mercenary, not only have exceptional technical skills, but more importantly, you can provide them with a 'neutral' identity, reducing the risk of being detected."
Ren fell silent for a moment, then nodded. "I see, that explains why I always get caught up in these troubles," he sighed.
Samir reached out and gently patted Ren's shoulder, saying, "That's why you're the best, old friend. You always manage to handle these tricky problems."
Ren silently stared at the whiskey glass in his hand, the amber liquid reflecting his pensive gaze. After a moment, he looked up, locking eyes with Samir, his tone tinged with skepticism: " Samir, I can understand infiltrating the physical headquarters of Regulatory oversight using traditional methods or some clever tricks to evade their surveillance. But entering their domain, let alone sabotaging the 'Skyeye' system there, sounds like an impossible task."
His hands fidgeted uneasily as he continued, "It's not just a technical challenge; how many traps, security measures, and anti-intrusion systems will Regulatory oversight's domain have? The security setup there might detect anomalies the moment I enter, and then what? I could be instantly locked down or reverse-traced."
Samir smiled wryly, knowing that Ren wasn't afraid, but rather expressing a genuine opinion and reasonable concern about the mission. He nodded, indicating that he understood Ren's apprehensions.
Ren continued, " Samir, you know I'm not the type to back down easily. But before I proceed, I need to know more details, especially how I will safely enter and exit that domain, and what potential risks and threats to anticipate."
Samir leaned back into the depths of the couch, his gaze sweeping over Ren, a familiar and sly smile grazing his lips. He cleared his throat and slowly said, " Ren, when you become a professional hacker in this city, you're bound to encounter many associates. But I think you should know, not all associates are as friendly as me." He winked, continuing with a smile, "In our line of work, we have to ensure that every piece plays to its fullest potential."
From his inner pocket, he slowly pulled out a shimmering crystal. The crystal bore intricate patterns, the unique symbol of the Voodoo boys. He placed the crystal on the table in front of Ren and leaned back slightly, "This is specially made by the Voodoo boys. It will protect you from any surveillance system tracking. Once you connect it to your device, even the most advanced tracking systems will be fooled by it."
Samir flashed a confident smile, then picked up a special crystal embedded with a blue light. This crystal was not like the typical products on the market; it looked more delicate and expensive. With a gentle press, the crystal's data immediately appeared in the air in front of them, like a three-dimensional blueprint, displaying a series of complex network structures and code.
"Look," Samir pointed to one of the segments of the program that emerged in the air, saying, "This is the anti-tracking program that our Voodoo boys technical team developed together. It can effectively conceal your online movements, rendering the tracking systems of Regulatory oversight ineffective. Even their most advanced scanning technology would have a hard time finding you in a short amount of time."
Then, his finger moved to another section of the code, showing a crimson icon. "And this," he said, "is our latest achievement, a supercomputer virus called 'The Summit of Papa Legba.'" Upon hearing this name, Ren couldn't help but furrow his brow. "What does Papa Legba mean?"
Samir smiled and said, "This is actually an internal joke name. You know, ' Papa Legba' means 'the most powerful and unbeatable' in some dialects. We call this virus 'Peak' because its functionality and destructiveness have reached their peak. This virus not only can rapidly invade and destroy target systems, but it also has the ability to self-replicate and spread. Once activated, it will spread like a plague, causing devastating damage to the entire domain."
Ren was slightly stunned, completely amazed by the capabilities of this virus. But he also knew that this was definitely not a simple task. "Such a powerful virus, the consequences of accidental activation are unimaginable."
Samir nodded, "That's exactly why we need you, Ren. Your expertise and experience are crucial to ensuring the success of this mission."
