Chapter 31: Compromising the Network
There is an elevator on the east side of the lobby. To get there from the front desk, you have to cross a landscape pond and pass a music bar.
Passing by the bar, Jack looked inside through the glass landscape with plants: "Hey V, this bar looks nice."
But they didn't stop. T-bug's voice line was still on the channel. They heard everything that happened just now clearly. They couldn't waste time now.
"I'm going to bring Misty here one of these days, once, uh... this order is over."
"Don't worry, it will happen sooner or later. Now just concentrate on your work."
Patting Jack on the shoulder, V walked into the elevator and stood still. Jack's mental state was not normal today. The man seemed nervous and kept changing the subject with V.
"How about it? I'm wearing a suit too. Hehehe, am I handsome?"
V stroked her chin and looked at him carefully. Jack's outfit reminded her of the Arasaka agent half a year ago. He had the same sturdy physique. Speaking of which, it seemed that the richest company dogs were all skinny.
"Yeah, not bad, pretty decent."
"Hey, don't discourage me. Okay, here we are, the Lapis Lazuli Suite."
The interior of the suite is very luxurious, with panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, a temperature-controlled built-in fish tank, a double fish projector on the low table, a sofa connected to the large bed at the back, and a TV in the backrest.
"Wow, so fashionable, good taste, bug. We are coming in, can you find our location?"
"Hoo-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom."
"What did you say?"
"Boom boom boom... Turn on the subnet permissions! Boom boom boom..."
"What authority?"
"Boom boom boom... Subnet! Your biological signal! Connected! To! A random device in the room! Boom boom boom..."
v scanned the room, found the control panel on the wall, pulled the bio-signal cable from his left arm and connected it.
"Bug, I got it."
"Hoo-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom."
Bug stopped shouting to talk to the two of them. She put her hands on her temples, and her prosthetic eyes quickly processed the information and successfully found the suite where V and Jack were.
"Luo Li, let's go up!"
Five minutes later, on the observation terrace on the 42nd floor of the Ganbi Building, a delicate hand suddenly grabbed the edge of the terrace floor, and then a bald black woman was thrown behind the railing. It was T-bug.
Xiao Luoli threw the t-bug up and climbed up with his feet. Jack and V were already waiting here. Fortunately, it was afternoon and no one came here to see the sea view.
"Let's go to the room. The camera here will be restored in two minutes."
The four people entered the Lapis Lazuli Suite in two groups, one after the other. In fact, there were two people speaking Russian in the corridor outside the room. But the company dog didn't like to meddle in other people's business. When he saw four people entering a room, he might have thought they were in an improvisation.
"Bug, how did you choose such a luxurious place?"
"I didn't choose this place for your comfort. This is the fastest place to the network management and server."
Jack shrugged. "Si, si, me, acuerdo (Spanish: yes, yes, I remember)."
T-bug took out a quilt from the cupboard, kicked off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and wrapped his whole body in the quilt.
"Okay, now open your crew cut and look for the entrance to the ventilation shaft."
Jack turned his head and saw that V and Xiao Luoli were already in bed, talking sweetly to each other. It seemed that he was the only one left to do the hard work for Bug. With a sigh, he plugged in the control chip of the flat-headed man and entered his field of vision.
"The system is running normally, power is %..."
"Mierda. The damn thing is stuck."
"Are you just going to stand by and watch? Switch to manual control. Give the control chip to V and have her connect Qilusi to the probe so that she can guide the robot."
"No! Don't come over here! I'm not wearing any clothes!"
V shouted in the bed, and T-Bug and Jack heard that her voice seemed to be trembling a little, like a sheep falling into the water.
"Uh... okay, hurry up and put on your clothes. We are stealing on Arasaka's territory. Can you guys be serious?"
"Here it comes." V put on his clothes quickly in the bed, crawled out, ran to T-bug, took the chip and inserted it into his own slot.
“I got a bug.”
"Very good. We are connecting you to the camera view. You may feel dizzy. Don't panic."
V and Jack's eyes went dark, and the camera image of a room flashed randomly. In the room, a man was lying on the bed, and a stripper was dancing beside the bed in her underwear.
The camera switched twice, and the view was clear both times. A man with a short flat head came out from the ventilation duct of the third room.
"Drive it to the next vent."
The v-eye scanned the next vent, and Jack manipulated the short flat head to crawl towards the vent. The little spider crawled silently on the ceiling, and only its shadow could be seen in the camera.
In this way, the short-haired man crawled through three rooms and entered the ventilation duct of the network operation room, which was empty.
"The Internet dog may be over there, and the crew cutter can pry the door lock open."
Jack controlled the short-haired boy to crawl towards the iron gate and tried to pry it open, but the gate did not move at all.
"It looks like it's in trouble."
"Shit, we have to find another way... There's a camera inside, but it's not turned on. Turn on the CCTV interface. It's next to the door."
V scanned the room and found the interface in the corner. Jack connected the flat head to the port, and the picture on the other side of the door came into V's eyes.
"There's a hacker inside. Shouldn't there be only one hacker in the hotel?"
"One good hacker is worth a dozen half-wits, and you can burn him to death with a crew cut."
"Good idea, wait till I send a puppet into your connection."
The crew cutter crawled into the room through the drainpipe and jumped onto the hacker chair to access it.
"Very good, we got rid of him. Okay, I'm already connected to the main network of the Blue Bi Building, log out now."
v disconnected from the robot, and t-bug had already left the sofa and went to the bathroom to soak in ice water.
"Listen, breaking through the ice is a little harder than I thought. It will take a few hours."
"A few hours? Can't it be faster?"
"Do you want to set my head on fire? Sit down and admire your handsome suits."
vIf it were any other time, she would definitely join in the bickering between the two, but this time using the military combat robot put a lot of strain on the brain, so when she withdrew, she hummed and burrowed into Xiao Luoli's arms, asking for kisses and hugs.
