Chapter 757: Chatterbox Elliot (Part 2)

"But you know what, I'm actually disgusted that some media people in the EU network laugh at Night City every day, and then highlight how just our EU laws are and how good our life is."

Elliot spat: "Don't I fucking know if it's good or not? I live in the cheapest house, use the crappiest prosthetic body, and have a system with software versions that are dozens of generations behind, just so I don't have to pay back the loan.

As a result, I now have a fine and I have to keep working like this for a year before I can pay it off!

It’s those EU officials who suck. "

The elevator kept descending, and a streamlined floating car passed by in the air, which seemed a bit disharmonious in this extremely industrialized city.

It was as disharmonious as those two tall, rich and handsome network supervisors walking into a dormitory filled with short, poor workers like a spring breeze.

"The EU political officers who come here to 'train their qualifications' have to sit in a floating car to eat, drink, chat, and watch hard workers like us work every day."

After saying that, Elliot looked towards the core of the city, where there was a building that was far less tall than a worker's apartment. Compared to a concrete block like an apartment, it obviously had many more traces of design.

Majestic, good-looking, and spacious and bright.

Elliot said this, but in his head Johnny and Leal both knew that this kid was extremely envious.

bite.

When the elevator reached the ground floor, it was no longer possible to see the beautiful building through the tall buildings.

Elliot stepped out of the elevator and stepped on the muddy floor: the European Union has corresponding plans for the city, and every street is cleaned by drones.

But the land in front of the workers' apartments is always covered with mud that cannot be washed away, because countless workers come and go every day.

Folkestone is the border of the EU, the outermost part of the EU, the farthest away from the prosperity;

The workers' apartments are the outermost area of ​​Folkestone.

He looked at the ground in silence: "Do you think I am confused?"

[Johnny: It’s very confusing. Who asked you? 】

[Lille: Indeed, I asked you to watch the news, but I didn’t ask you to express your opinions. 】

[Muramasa: The logic is confusing, the goals are vague, and the thinking is meaningless and divergent. Your intelligence seems a bit low, but your courage makes up for this part. Otherwise, the probability of you coming into contact with me in this life should be infinitely close to zero. 】

Elliot blushed on the spot, and the color of pig liver appeared on his face again:

He made a big mistake again, he liked to confide in things about people he had just met.

This kind of attitude of the other party being completely indifferent after talking a lot makes people want to crawl into the mud with embarrassment.

Who knows!

[Liel: But it’s okay, just follow me and you’ll have a chance to get ahead. 】

[Liel: By the way, are there many co-workers who like pussy like you? 】

".I don't know." Elliot's pig liver color just faded and then rose again, "Who talks about this every day? Are you not afraid of being caught talking by the inspecting political officers?"

"What should I do now? Let's just buy a plane ticket and go to young general Matt?"

[Lille: If you have money, just buy a plane ticket. 】

[Lille: Secondly, if you go buy a ticket now, you might be caught as soon as you arrive at the airport.]

[Lille: Go to work, I still need some time to arrange the subsequent plans. 】

"oh."

Alas, I didn’t expect to have three incredible guys in my head and still have to go to work.

I really want to win 500,000 euros.

Lille asked him to work hard for two reasons: one is that the EU's control over the region is far beyond that of any organization in Night City, and it is unrealistic to pick up a gun and do it.

Considering that the system and residence in Elliot's head are under full surveillance, and even the mysterious circumvention helmet "obtained on the black market" seems to have been deliberately left behind by the Internet surveillance, Lille has reasonable doubts that the EU may have a system to target citizens. behavioral prediction system.

Just like the ctOS he uses in the Marvel world, or the Zora program used by Hydra.

Moreover, there used to be V and Jack, but now I don't have anyone who can shoot them. I'm afraid they will be killed if they don't pick up the gun.

second

It's time for this brief comeback.

[The dimensional rift is being repaired and cross-dimensional activities will be closed soon. 】

[Lille: But besides going to work, there are indeed some things you can do. 】

[Lille: You said you are interested in technology. Do you want to learn technology that is not controlled by the EU? 】

[Lille: We can teach you. 】

Elliot's eyes lit up when he heard this!

When employees of the Internet Monitoring Department interrogated him in front of him, he was afraid of being obedient, and he usually scolded him happily, but in the end he still had to cooperate obediently, and even secretly envied these people in his heart.

Who doesn’t want to have a job that is relaxing, decent, well-paying and powerful?

Who doesn’t want to be the envy of everyone?

But in the eyes of these AIs, the agents of network surveillance seem to be just a group of inexperienced idiots who have no brains and are fooled around——

It was so exciting to watch every move of those agents on the surveillance camera!

Maybe that's how those people felt when they were watching them on the surveillance camera?

It is impossible for him to become a "noble" in this life.

But he really liked that feeling.

"I want to learn!"

[Lille: Very good. 】

[Lille: I leave it to you. 】

Muramasa is full of doubts about the CPU:

[Muramasa: Aren’t you the one who wants to take this fat guy to work with you? Why do I teach? 】

[Lille: Just think of it as accepting another apprentice. I have other work to do, very, very important work. 】

[Lille: Before I restart, don’t try to contact the outside network yourself, let this kid do it for you. 】

The doubts in Muramasa's CPU became less and less, and even became more, but Lille didn't give him a chance to continue asking questions and immediately went to sleep!

Muramasa was so angry that he wanted to use all his firepower and directly attack Folkestone's information center!

Leal's voice fell silent, Johnny's nature also fell silent, and the only person Muramasa could talk to was the excited Elliot:

"I want to learn, I want to learn!"

[Muramasa: Learn. Oh, let’s learn. 】

[Muramasa: What are you excited about? 】

"Of course I'm excited!" Elliot waved his fist fiercely, "Master, I have a question. You said that the helmet might have been given to me by the network supervisor. Doesn't that mean they asked me to take it out on purpose?

why is that? They obviously like to control the most.”

[Muramasa: Ahem. 】

[Muramasa: I don’t understand these either. Don’t ask me about your social engineering. I’m only responsible for teaching you science and engineering. 】

"Oh, ok, ok, forget, master, you are an AI. Human affairs are indeed very complicated, and we humans can't figure them out ourselves."

Elliot began to mutter again, and Muramasa felt the fat man's excitement and excitement in his head, and suddenly remembered his last apprentice.

His last apprentice was not so arrogant.

But when I heard that I could learn these "techniques", I was very excited.

[Muramasa: Oh, why do you want to learn this? 】

"Of course it's for freedom and truth!" Eliot said decisively, "If you don't get something by yourself, it will definitely not be freedom. If you don't get the truth by yourself, it will be even harder to be sure that it is the truth!

I want freedom and truth for myself! "

[Muramasa: Haha, it sounds like the same thing. 】

The way the previous "disciple" answered this question flashed through his mind. Zhengzong's answers were not so clear and clear.

But now that I think about it, maybe there are some similarities between this fat man and Zheng Zheng?

[Muramasa: I hope your intelligence is as high as his. 】

"who?"

[Muramasa: Einstein. 】

"ah?"

Muramasa made a joke for the first time.
