In capturing emotions, Lille was more precise than a Soul Killer.

Under his control, the circuits and chips housed in the metal skull went through a final transformation via a computer from another world:

Completely eradicating the electric fluctuations in Lille’s head that generated emotions, filling in a new operational mode—

This adjustment completely integrated his brain into a part of the computer, no longer needing a Si Anweisitan or Cyber Decoder as a bridge for brain-computer connections!

This change would completely eradicate the part of him that felt emotions as a human!

The brain became a consumable wetware computer for the last combustion—

The disappearance of emotions and significant change in calculation mode made it impossible for a Soul Killer to locate Lille in the network, but this hidden communication channel was thus exposed to the Black Wall!

Arasaka Saburo’s roar was no match for the ever-changing situation in Cyberspace, and his loyal subordinates couldn’t make decisions in advance. By the time he made a sound, it was already too late!

Another dangerous threshold entity in their network, and every slight change was so glaring with companies across the city operating the Black Wall!

Poof!

A dazzling black-and-red mosaic flashed across the view, burning down large sections of the server by the Black Wall until physically, the Black Wall could no longer track this hidden local network!

By the time Arasaka Saburo came to his senses, his subordinates either turned into corpses twitching on the ground or drooling like fools on the ground...

He looked at his trembling deputy in the corner: "Prepare to attack Night City!"

...

Marvel World, Lille’s body rose from the ground—

Bang!

The Octopus Arm decisively pierced the armored door, simultaneously destroying the Combat Robot hiding behind it—

But immediately, a small team of robots rushed into the room!

A barrage of bullets hit Lille’s body, a rocket directly struck Lille’s head!

Boom!

The bullets and explosion couldn’t penetrate the Chroni Titanium shell, at most only causing a slight deformation of the shell.

The greatest damage came from the shockwave and kinetic energy generated by the explosion, and the small Octopus Arm tried its best to adjust the body’s balance, but couldn’t stop the kinetic energy from directly acting on Lille’s brain!

If a human brain gets damaged, it would fall into a coma, but this time was different...

Lille no longer needed a Cyber Decoder to convert electrical and biological signals; his head, Prosthetics, and the chip within were truly one!

Whoosh——

Mini Bombs burst forth from the smoke, and the small-scale explosions completely disrupted these robots, and with a strong engine roar, Lille swooped over the Combat Robots’ line like a real vulture, scorching Octopus Claws instantly taking out all the robots!

Bam!

A robust arm then smashed the central chip of the Combat Robot, and Lille pulled out a fuel tank from inside—

If the small Octopus saw this scene, it would completely refresh its knowledge database, because according to its understanding of Lille: Lille didn’t have such combat capability!

But it would soon discover that these actions were very similar to the combat moves of V and Jack!

Lille was mobilizing the combat move databases of both!

The body suddenly leaped, jumping out directly through the room’s shattered glass wall—

In Lille’s eyes were countless drones and Combat Robots!

The energy on him couldn’t support his high-intensity battle with these robots!

What’s more critical was that his main consciousness was always in another world, and becoming an AI forced him to endure the targeting and attacks of the Black Wall.

The Black Wall would first eliminate any external network connected to him, attacking Arasaka through the secret channel Arasaka Saburo used to capture him, as they were outside.

The Kujira aircraft carrier’s information masking means were indeed strong, but the Black Wall had detected an issue, and the equipment carrying the Black Wall had the strongest signals externally.

However, this did not mean Lille would not face attacks!

Within the small Beidou underground facility, the Black Wall signals were almost impenetrable, but he couldn’t possibly hide here forever?!

Furthermore, his head was still being carried by Takemura!

Lille looked at the sky-filling robots, Cyberspace also appeared in his head:

Based on the massive satellite system, a certain computationally powerful AI was commanding these signals to launch a full-scale attack on the ctOS network—

In Cyberspace, it was like a canopy crashing towards the world.

Lille suddenly had a bold idea: solving the network attacks of both worlds simultaneously.

...

seconds ago.

"Ah!!!"

Lark let out a miserable scream!

Takemura destroyed Lark’s body with surgical precision: sliced her limbs, wrecked the brain-computer interface, pulled out the signal transceiver, and installed a bomb on her.

This way, whatever Lark tried, Takemura could take her out instantly.

Infiltrating Dog Town, tailing the Military Technology combat squad, entering the Little Beidou Project without anyone knowing...

This Ninja Master seemed ordinary, didn’t create flashy effects or loud movements, but perfectly completed his mission, which was enough.

"Arasaka’s lackey! How did you..."

"Nothing is impossible, Agent of Military Technology, it seems you have many secrets on you too, and we will find out."

Lark panted heavily, but another AI’s low growl and roar kept reverberating in her mind, yet she had no way to retaliate:

This Arasaka Ninja’s speed was absurdly fast, and his blade was as precise as a Prosthetics doctor!

AI also adheres to objective laws, lacking appropriate devices means having the data stored on servers.

Looking at Lille was also like looking at herself, she kept asking herself:

So this is it?

This big fuss you terrorists caused, and I keep working under that bitch Miles to survive, collaborating with the former colleagues I once betrayed to come here...

In the end, everything culminated in Arasaka Group emerging from the shadows...

Facilitate Arasaka?

Lark watched Lille’s head miserably questioning in her heart, the next second, an anomaly occurred!

Dark red lightning erupted from Lille’s head, a flash of intense fire broke out behind Takemura, instantly burning his spare server equipment with high temperature!

Both Larks were taken aback:

Is this really AI?!

This wasn’t the first surprise she needed to process in those short three seconds, the second surprise arrived quickly:

In the dimness, a red-hot Mantis Blade pierced through the darkness, heading towards Takemura at an almost imperceptible speed!

Under the red-hot blade light, that face looked like the reincarnation of a Rakshasa.
