This guy looks like a pyramid scheme leader.

The senior engineer stood at the entrance of the secret passage.

The other party seems to be the head of Cyber Networks. Oh, never mind then.

The senior engineer quietly walked up behind Rose and watched her talk at length. Unfortunately, Rose was not so easy to persuade, and even seducing her was difficult.

Black Rose's expression remained unchanged, and the electronic executive clearly noticed this and began to change his strategy.

"As expected, my position as CEO will be taken by 'Corporate Will,' and the new CEO will be chosen from among my subordinates. However, I can assist you in taking the position. With my ability to be rated as 'Best CEO' for three consecutive years, I can definitely help you manage this android group well."

Is this a case of pyramid schemes failing, so they've switched to a sycophantic approach?

Unfortunately, you met me.

"Before that, answer one question," the senior engineer narrowed his eyes and said, "Who was behind you when you tried to assassinate Sister Rose?"

The electronic executive was taken aback, then said, "This is a mission driven by the company's will, not a private action. I think the data you obtained from me should prove that."

Black Rose nodded slightly to the senior engineer. Judging from the memory data she had obtained, it was indeed a task issued by the "corporate will".

The senior engineer remained unmoved; in the cyber test field, business warfare was far more intense than espionage.

He knew of at least three ways to store memory data in an external device, which would not be triggered unless under special circumstances, so that even the person himself would not know that he was a "corporate spy".

Moreover, who says that "corporate will" cannot be manipulated? If "corporate will" is always effective, then who can global companies that go bankrupt and fail complain to?

"Want to prove yourself? It's simple," the senior engineer narrowed his eyes. "Open your brain's memory and let us search for the content. If there are no problems, we can naturally cooperate with you."

The electronic executive's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Even the most stringent corporate will only grant a certain range of memory reading permissions. Data protection rights are written in the 'Bionic Human Act'."

"I believe that as the possessor of the highest lineage of androids, you should have this kind of magnanimity."

Black Rose raised an eyebrow and said bluntly, "Are you trying to teach me how to do things?"

The senior engineer was amused; this guy had clearly touched on Rose's taboo.

The senior engineer whispered a few words to Black Rose, and Rose nodded expressionlessly.

The electronic executive's eyes narrowed, and countless electronic data on his body sprang to life.

Data life is a lower-spec version of information life.

Information life forms are invincible in lower-level civilizations, such as the cosmic brain flower that will arrive in two years.

But data life is different; there are so many things to target, including logic, structure, and code.

The master-level "source code killer" is precisely its nemesis.

As the senior engineer closed his eyes, the electronic executive immediately felt a collapse coming from the data plane.

This is a warning from big data.

The next moment, the humanoid figure on the other side disappeared, replaced by layers upon layers of data rain.

Upon seeing this, Black Rose frowned.

She's the type who likes to take action more than BB. If it weren't for the fact that her 'different blood' couldn't devour her, she wouldn't have tolerated her for so long.

The reason she couldn't devour the other party was that whenever she wanted to kill them, they would turn into pure data, just like they are now.

The pheromone network can only trap the other party, preventing them from escaping into the cyber network, but it cannot kill the 'data' itself.

In the senior engineer's eyes, the other party's "threads" were constantly jumping, and the "data structure" was constantly changing.

"A neural network database? This guy's got real money."

Judging from the amount of data it processes, this electronic executive has clearly surpassed the limits of androids and reached the level of large-scale AI.

Large-scale AI requires a data processing center, which is also its weakness.

Once the data processing center is compromised, this AI is doomed.

But there is another approach: to transform the nervous system into a cloud database to store its own data.

This method can significantly compensate for the shortcomings of data lifespan, with only one problem.

That's fucking expensive!

This level of modification is enough to buy almost half a Sky Carrier.

However, in situations where escape is impossible, databases are of no use.

As the "Source Code Killer" was activated, the threads in the rain curtain became fewer and fewer, until finally only one remained.

With a thought, the senior engineer drew his "hacker's gun," and the bullet easily pierced the wire.

The next moment, the other person reappeared, his eyes glazed over, and a bloody hole appeared between his eyebrows.

Almost simultaneously, the 'electronic grid' began to collapse, and a terrifying amount of data poured out like a tidal wave, all of which was sucked into the prepared memory.

This is all the memories of a CEO.

[You killed the Electronic Executor (Simulated Personality), Experience +80,000, Specialization Points +1, Random Lottery*5, Mechanical Puzzle Fragment*1]

Even Rose was stunned that the opponent was taken down so easily.

Are you still the same young man I know, the one who couldn't even last 10 hours?

The senior engineer grinned.

Do you think the "Master's Certificate" is easy to get? The experience consumed in upgrading from ordinary to master is enough for me to level up to level 40.

"Trying to take my male secretary's position? Isn't that just asking for trouble?"

Black Rose smiled alluringly as she gracefully walked to the senior engineer's side, placing her hand on his buttocks. Before she could say anything, the door was flung open, and Little Finger burst in, yelling and shouting.

"Damn it, what did you guys do? I got a lot of classified data, it's all about the inside story of the electronic grid."

"By the way, Sister Rose, I've found the person who's going to take you down."

Black Rose's emerald-like eyes narrowed, revealing a sharp, razor-sharp edge.

"Let's go take a look!"

After speaking, he didn't forget to reward the little wolf, grabbing him and licking his ear with his bright red tongue, exhaling a sweet fragrance.

"Prepare a secretary's uniform for tonight and do the things a secretary should do."

Snort!

A flash of silver light arrived first, followed by the spear thrusting out like a dragon.

This time, the senior engineer was full of confidence.

The three arrived at a data processing center on the mothership, where numerous screens displayed the memories retrieved by the 'electronic executive'.

Even after arriving at the location, Littlefinger continued to chatter on, "How did you guys do that? I was almost desperate. This guy's Electronic Barrier are too thick."

Black Rose ignored the other party and instead said, "Mothership, extract all the memory data related to me."

"Yes."

The artificial intelligence on the mothership began to operate automatically.

The next moment, the screen in front of me was filled with all sorts of information.

It's clear that the "electronic grid" conducted an extremely thorough investigation into Sister Rose, to an abnormal degree.

It even includes transactions with the dark web.

"The dark web betrayed us!" Littlefinger's face turned grim.

Black Rose didn't speak, but instead looked at a video playing.

From the perspective of the "electronic executive," this was a clandestine meeting.

The person opposite him had features as smooth as marble, eyes brimming with unique wisdom, and every move he made possessed an extraordinary charm. He was also very tall, about three meters, as if the true form of a Greek god had descended.

"This guy looks familiar," the senior engineer thought to himself.

"Kevin Miller, head of the Miller family," Black Rose said calmly, but her eyes were filled with murderous intent.

The Miller family, one of the twelve aristocratic families of the Cloud Kingdom, is undoubtedly a global enterprise whose business focuses on medical technology. Cryogenic freezing, gene manipulation, and bio-pods are all part of their industries. They are on par with biotech Johnson & Johnson Group Merkel's Johnson & Johnson in the medical field. The main reason they are not among the four major biotech companies is that their business focuses on extraterrestrial applications.

This is memory data from the "Electronic Executive".

Meanwhile, Miller, representing this generation, took a sip of tea with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I will support your candidacy for chairman of the board. As a shareholder, I will certainly vote for you. Electronic Grid's performance in recent years has been remarkable."

"In that case, I'm relieved."

"However, I wonder if your company has any information regarding the ancestral bloodline of androids?"

"Isn't this just a legend?"

"It's not just a legend. If you can obtain that bloodline, you can even go further. The progenitor's bloodline holds a very special position at the genetic level of androids. This involves the modifications that advanced mechanical civilization made to it back then..."

Miller suddenly paused, looked at the screen, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, then gave a knowing smile, picked up his glass, and raised it to the three of them.

The scene abruptly ended.

"The memory lock has been triggered," the senior engineer said.

The memory lock is a more advanced security protocol that directly targets the information processing center within the android's brain.

In fact, if the other party's simulated personality hadn't collapsed so quickly, causing a delay in the memory lock, they wouldn't have been able to see even this little bit of footage.

Black Rose remained calm and said, "Let's see if there's anything else we can use."

Littlefinger sat in front of a virtual screen, the folders reflected in his eyes opening one after another, and then he gasped.

"Holy crap, the electronic grid is actually using its own people for experiments."

The image shows dozens of bionic human heads hanging from telephone poles.

Those heads were not dead, but were opening and closing their mouths in agony.

"This is a neural signal test, right?"

They are similar to biological batteries, except that they are signal batteries.

A human head suddenly exploded, triggering a chain reaction that caused all the heads to explode, sending a large number of electronic components flying everywhere.

There were many similar scenes.

These were all kinds of forbidden experiments.

Without exception, all the experimental subjects were androids.

In fact, it wasn't just one company; the engineer also saw the logos of several other bionic human groups.

Electronic Grid, or rather, the six major android companies, are the main force behind the "Android Act" and the fight for android rights.

But behind the scenes, that's their true nature.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a cyber testing ground.
