Chapter 161 The Black Wall Collapses! Lone Wolf Spy!

"I have to know what price you can offer, but I am not very interested in money. Why don't we exchange intelligence with each other?"

"It's better to have useful intelligence."

V said with a smile. He knew that a profit-seeking intelligence dealer like Bryce must have a lot of intelligence from other companies in his stomach.

It would be a bit of a waste if he didn't try his best to dig something out of him.

When he learned that V was more interested in intelligence, Bryce suddenly realized, "Oh! So you are an agent working for the company. OK, I have cooperated with people like you!"

Bryce grinned. Whether it was an insider who was cheating on the company or an agent loyal to the company, he could talk to the other party.

Because whether it was an insider who needed to rely on intelligence information to cash in, or an agent who needed intelligence to work for the company, he could not do without his help.

And this is exactly why Bryce's business is booming.

"So V, which company's intelligence do you want to know?"

To show his sincerity, Bryce decided to give V a piece of intelligence for free.

This is not because he is generous, but because agents like this who work for the company can provide intelligence of very high quality.

At least far beyond the average company employee!

Bryce can often earn more from intelligence transactions with such people.

"Just the intelligence from your network monitoring company. I want the latest, more important intelligence, the better. If the information you said interests me, I can give you the intelligence from LA company."

When he learned that V was willing to exchange the intelligence from LA company, Bryce nodded excitedly, as if he was afraid that the other party would go back on his word:

"Okay! It's a deal!"

After that, Bryce thought seriously for a moment, and then he opened his mouth to reveal important intelligence about network monitoring to V:

"Have you heard about the recent network outage in the Russian network area? Now there is the latest situation of this matter."

"According to the latest investigation results of our company, the force that caused the Russian network outage is likely to be in Night City!"

"And this force is either the company or the hackers of the Voodoo Gang, but our company's executives are more inclined to the company's guess."

When V heard that Bryce was actually fooling himself with this kind of news that had already appeared in the news, his face suddenly became gloomy.

"Bryce, are you kidding me?"

"Hasn't this news been reported long ago? What's so good about this little thing?"

"Is it worth it for you guys to go to so much trouble to investigate a network outage? Are all the network monitoring agents just bored?"

V couldn't understand why this matter was taken seriously by the network monitoring people. It's not a permanent network outage, so this can be considered intelligence? !

Seeing that V seemed to be angry, Bryce waved his hands and said:

"No, no, no, this matter is actually the most confidential information in our company, because this network outage seems to have caused something very important to be lost."

"Something lost? What is that?"

V finally heard something that interested him.

"It seems that some AI has been leaked. It is said that this network outage technology will cause a very important AI to be lost, so our company is investigating."

"The main suspects at present are Arasaka, Yeshi Company, Petrochemical, Kangtao, and LA Company!"

After listening to the intelligence provided by Bryce, V already had a basic judgment in his mind.

This time he came to the basement of the Voodoo Gang to transplant the matrix program, maybe it was related to this matter.

But V still felt that he had only a vague understanding of the ins and outs of it, and felt like he was looking at flowers in the fog, and there was always a layer of separation.

"It's just that an AI was lost, what's the big deal." V said coldly.

"This incident caused quite a stir. I heard that the executives of the European Community even held an internal meeting for this. If this network disconnection incident is not handled properly, the black wall may collapse!"

Although Bryce did not know the existence of the transcendental AI Europa, as an internal staff of the company, he still knew that there was an AI in the network monitoring that could build a black wall.

The main reason why this network disconnection incident caused such a big fuss was that they found that this AI that could build a black wall disappeared inexplicably!

If all the AIs that can build a black wall are gone, then sooner or later the black wall will be infiltrated by the wandering AI outside and become a hornet's nest.

If that time really comes, it will be the end of mankind!

"The black wall collapsed? Oh my god... is it really that exaggerated!" V had to wonder if Bryce was making up false news to deceive him.

"Which third-rate magazine story did you get from a street stall? This is even more outrageous than the story of Little Red Riding Hood eating the wolf's grandmother."

V couldn't help but complain.

When Bryce heard V say this, he was immediately unhappy, "You are the one who wants to hear the latest intelligence from the network monitoring. I took a lot of effort to get this intelligence. If you think it's outrageous, then don't listen to it!"

"Besides, if every intelligence news is 100% accurate, I would have made a fortune long ago, and there would be no need to run around to verify the truth."

"If one of the ten intelligence is useful and reliable, then it will be a great fortune!"

Bryce complained angrily. Judging from V's reaction, he was even more convinced that the other party was a pure layman who didn't even know this most basic common sense.

In the process of dissemination of information, there will be inevitable distortion, which is why first-hand information is so important.

That kind of "inside information" that has been passed on to countless people has long been sent to my grandma's house. Let alone a letter, it is probably far from the truth of the matter!

After all, the intelligence information Bryce received within the company was much better than the information rumored by the people outside. Even if there was a slight deviation, it was definitely not much different.

It turned out that V didn’t know the goods and said that he got the information from newspapers and magazines at street stalls. What the fuck!

"V, now it's your turn to share the information about LA Company. I hope your information won't disappoint me, otherwise, our deal will end here!"

"Moreover, I will not exchange any information with you in the future. We are all here to fool around. Integrity is very important to everyone."

Bryce folded his hands and said in the same cold tone: "Don't think about making up lies to fool me. I am a person who relies on intelligence and I can clearly tell the truth from the lies."

After the words fell, Bryce's eyes suddenly became sharp. He may be a bit slow in other aspects, but he is a top expert in this aspect.

If it weren't for the hard work of being an agent in the CIA, he would have reached the level of a top intelligence officer long ago.

‘Johnny, what should I do? Do I really need to tell this guy about the LA company? ’

V knew very well that his lying ability was not enough to fabricate a piece of information that could be mistaken for truth in a short period of time. It was not that easy to deceive Bryce.

If this trick goes wrong, he will lose an important source of intelligence in the future.

[Isn’t this simple? Just tell him what you did in the bad land. This guy doesn’t know your true identity anyway. 】

[Forget it, leave this matter to me. I'll tell you something and you can repeat it. It's much easier to deceive this stupid young man than it is to deceive a girl. 】

Johnny Silverhand shook his head speechlessly. The highest level of lying was to tell the truth, but the final result was completely opposite to the truth.

But at this time, V obviously did not have the ability in this area.

‘Well, please! ’

Immediately, V followed Johnny and began to retell what happened in the biotechnology experimental base in the bad land.

According to Johnny's description, an LA company spy named "Vincent" used a polymer device in the Badlands to defeat a genetic monster named Ivanov.

When talking about the details about the reason why Joanne was arrested and imprisoned, and that the soldier team from Military Technology and LA Company were also at the scene, Bryce nodded with interest.

Obviously, the information given by V was basically consistent with the intelligence information he already knew, and even filled in some relevant details.

"You're saying that the LA company spy named Vincent is a top lone wolf mercenary who is as powerful as the Twelve Angels of the Crystal Palace."

"And that guy with extraordinary skills is coming to Taipingzhou to carry out a secret mission assigned to him by Mr. Li Ang himself!"

When he learned this secret information, Bryce walked around the room excitedly, his brain working rapidly, thinking about which buyer he should sell this information to.

"Oh my! It's my turn to get rich this time!"

Seeing Bryce being so excited that he couldn't help himself, V felt very confused. He didn't understand why these company agents were so interested in a lone wolf spy.

"Is this considered valuable information? Is the mercenary named Vincent special?"

V couldn't help but ask.

"Well! At least to me, this is indeed quite valuable intelligence information."

Bryce smiled and told V truthfully: "I have a friend who works in the CIA and told me that there is a very mysterious spy in LA Company."

"But what he said was very vague. I only know that there is such a person, but I don't know his deeds."

"I guess the CIA agents should have a lot of information about this spy. Otherwise, how would an ordinary agent like him know about this person's existence."

"But, now that I have the information you provided, I know something about this lone wolf, haha!"

Bryce was in a very happy mood.

'The CIA...'

V had heard about this new American intelligence department, and it was not a good thing for him to be noticed by such a notorious organization.

Thinking of this, V's mood instantly dropped. He always felt that he had been targeted by someone, but he still didn't know who that person was.
