The deep black and translucent blue city outline becomes the backdrop.
John rides his motorcycle onto the overpass, accompanied by Oulos, constantly overtaking through the honking traffic.
The hovercar follows closely behind.
It passes through the holographic projection above the city.
The vector engine spews blue flames.
It's a new-tech hovercar equipped with systems like biometric identification, infrared scanning, and ballistic calibration.
Two automatic turrets are sweeping the street.
Da-da-da-da-da–
John swerves on the overpass, slips into the honking traffic, hiding in the gaps between heavily armored trucks.
The hovercar adjusts its angle.
Shimmering blue arcs nearly seal off all routes.
"F*ck!"
John hesitates no more, activating Sianweistan, a fleeting stream of light flashes through his work coat.
The colorful city nightscape is covered with a deep green filter.
Everything slows down several times.
John's pupils zoom in and out.
Messiah's Eye switches to time-stop mode, capturing those smart bullets stirring the air.
Swoosh–
Da-da-da-da.
Its landing trajectory chases the motorcycle, the concrete barriers erupting with debris, the landmark lines battered beyond recognition.
Alloy RCH presses down urgently on the motorcycle.
John dangerously maneuvers past with Oulos.
Boom–
Electric sparks fall around them.
The shooting trajectory of the hovercar heightens its adjustment.
It spans the overpass arrogantly suspended in the city sky, the turrets below roaring angrily, firing unrestrainedly!
Municipal planning street lights.
Information screens above the road.
Advertisement signs around the city.
...
The entities on the overpass are destroyed by the barrage, electric arcs spreading forward along the motorcycle's escape path.
"F*ck, are the Eastern people crazy?"
John roars.
Suddenly a wave of nausea hits.
Data streams flash in the depths of his pupils, a prompt message pops up in front of him.
[Hacking detected, vehicle restarting, authorization rejected...]
Woo–
The hovercar suddenly ceases firing, the roar fading, as if a loud large piece of equipment encountered an emergency power-off.
John turns his head to look at the sky.
The hovercar distinctly wobbles.
Its vector engines briefly stall, quickly reboots, nearly crashing into the tracks between city buildings.
Raqi Group's hackers overestimating themselves.
They try to emulate Oulos in remotely invading vehicles but run into a monster - all John's vehicles have their systems overwritten by Black Light.
John possesses an Atlanta Virtual Network [Operating System], capable of monitoring those Black Light-brushed devices through the public network.
Raqi's hacker intrusion triggers the emergency mechanism.
All devices and hackers are kicked out of cyberspace.
They fail to grasp the situation, plunging into temporary chaos.
John also seizes this chance to widen the gap - after all, he knows the limitations of Black Light!
Firstly, Black Light can only defend against "dead objects."
Such as Dan Street's apartments, Captain Black Spider, the vehicle's main control system.
These systems overwritten by Black Light haven't been breached by any hacker as of now.
The only exception is the director of the network surveillance office, "State Trooper."
The official network agency head of Eden City.
He used an advanced Black Ice Program on John personally, causing Black Light to malfunction for a long period.
Secondly, Black Light cannot prevent remote intrusions!
Such perversely effective defense, with John it turns out ineffective, encounters with hackers always prove troublesome.
Hackers can remotely restart John's prosthetic eye, overheat his prosthetic body.
Black Light does not respond.
Unless a physical connection is established.
It's a very "subtle" difference.
If John connects directly with a device via data cable, he's virtually invincible within the system environment.
Black Light can directly overwrite all programs.
No matter the company firewalls, advanced power armor equipment, hacker-guarded standalone network environments...
None can obstruct Black Light's overwrite!
John can even remotely fry the opposing hacker's brain.
The more complex the system covered by Black Light, the higher the difficulty in killing hackers, resulting in greater subsequent burdens for John!
"Ha, f*ck squid, b*tch!"
John raises his middle finger towards the sky.
His prosthetic eye focuses and scans, parses the detailed information of the hovercar.
[Device: Divine Concealment (し(かみかくし))]
[Manufacturer: Raqi Military Industry]
It is indeed a technological hovercar.
Its main purpose is reconnaissance, area network assistance and amplification, controlling the cyberspace of a region.
Red warning letters appear in John's vision.
Divine Concealment detected his scan, initiating some sort of countermeasure program.
The hovercar restarts, like a supercar, bending through a massive arc with a deep roar.
Automatic turret being just standard gear.
Black Light's "countermeasure" puts Raqi Group's hackers on alert.
Divine Concealment is about to unleash its true power.
Oulos's painful cry transmits via voice.
She quickly removes and throws away the item from her ear.
The portable device flickers with electric arcs, explodes mid-air, debris swept into the chaotic traffic stream.
Messiah's Eye switches to scan mode.
The whole world covered by a red stream of data, information chains rolling, filling the entire overpass.
Boom, boom-boom–
Both side barriers switch to [restricted area] signs.
The checkpoint, traffic lights, surveillance cameras on the overpass all extend thin red data streams, converging towards the distant hovercar!
Devices uniformly orient towards locking onto John and Oulos.
Countless data chains shoot towards them!
