The battle here concluded, and the struggle between Placide and the NetWatch agent also wrapped up.

After navigating through several twists and turns, Alex Carter finally reached the cinema.

Placide's communication reconnected.

"Get him, extract his data, understand?"

"You first need to..."

"Crackle..."

A burst of interference completely disrupted Alex's connection with Placide.

Alex wasn't surprised by this.

It was clearly the work of the NetWatch agent inside.

Entering the cinema's screening room, a NetWatch agent in a suit came into view.

Seeing Alex, the NetWatch agent quickly raised his hands in panic.

"Hey, don't shoot! It's safe here; we can talk."

Much like online keyboard warriors who boast and bluster, in reality, their frail bodies are no match for professional mercenaries.

"I've just cut off your connection with the Voodoo Boys; we can talk," said the NetWatch agent.

Alex couldn't help but laugh: "Talk about what? Should I ask what price they paid me, and can you pay more? Are you trying to buy me?"

The NetWatch agent, whose intentions were blatantly obvious, tried to explain again: "Listen, you've been deceived by the Voodoo Boys."

"I know."

"You know?"

The NetWatch agent was dumbfounded.

You know you've been deceived, yet you still put your life in their hands?

How naive is this person?

Seeing the NetWatch agent's confused expression, Alex could guess what he was thinking.

"I know the Voodoo Boys are unreliable. They want to use me to rescue Maman Brigitte and her sidekick, Neptune, who were frozen by your ICE."

"I also know that to them, I'm just expendable, to be discarded after use."

"But I'm still here."

Hearing Alex's words, the NetWatch agent was shocked: "Then why are you still..."

"Because I'm playing on a higher level than you," Alex grinned.

"Pardon?"

Before the NetWatch agent could react, Alex moved suddenly.

Then the agent felt a sharp pain in his neck, and his consciousness faded into darkness.

With the NetWatch agent incapacitated, the connection that he had severed was restored.

"You succeeded? The connection was just cut off," Placide's voice sounded in the communication.

"Yeah, it's done. Ready to connect," Alex said, plugging his personal link into the port on the NetWatch agent's head.

"Alex, I think there's something off about this," Johnny's figure appeared next to Alex.

Alex smiled coldly and replied, "More than just off."

"If this guy didn't have an accident, they'd have ditched me when things got heated with the NetWatch agent, leaving me to be burned by the NetWatch systems."

"Then why are you..." Johnny hesitated.

"Why am I still connected?" The smile on Alex's face widened.

"Since they want to sell me out, they should be prepared to be sold."

"Just wait and see!"

Seeing Alex's smile, Johnny shook his head and sighed.

Though he hadn't known Alex long, he knew that when Alex had that smile, someone was bound to suffer.

"Zzz..."

A large number of data packets and golems were downloaded into Alex's personal network through the subnet Poseidon connection.

Then they were imported into the network of the unconscious NetWatch agent through a wired connection.

With Alex's subnet Poseidon and the wired connection between him and the NetWatch agent, Placide and a group of Voodoo Boys hackers successfully bypassed the NetWatch agent's defenses, taking them by surprise!

The leader of the Voodoo Boys, Brigitte, and her sidekick Neptune, who had been frozen, were also successfully rescued.

Now, just a retreat remained!

It's time!

As Alex thought this, the Blacklight Virus in his body surged.

In an instant, a layer of black biomass formed on the surface of all prosthetics.

[Electronic Shield] Activated!

...

In an underground space filled with various facilities, several hackers lay quietly in their chairs, engaged in a silent and dangerous battle with the NetWatch agent.

Suddenly, one of them sat up abruptly!

"Damn! Damn! Damn! How could the connection suddenly be interrupted!"

Placide woke up from his hacker chair like an enraged beast.

There were six other hacker chairs beside him, but five of them showed zero readings on the hackers' vital signs.

These individuals had vanished during the retreat, burned when risking their lives to breach the NetWatch ICE.

"Ah..."

With a cry of pain, a black woman sat up from her hacker chair.

It was Brigitte, the boss of the Voodoo Boys.

In the entire battle, there were seven individuals, and only two survived!

"Placide! What happened?" Brigitte asked angrily.

If it weren't for the recent mishap, Neptune wouldn't have died!

Placide's face was dark, and he replied solemnly, "I don't know either. The subnet Poseidon's connection was suddenly interrupted."

"Useless!"

Brigitte was furious.

Recalling the despair when their "escape route" vanished, she could barely restrain herself from strangling Placide.

"Who did you hire? How could they betray us at such a critical time!"

"I don't think it was him," Placide explained gruffly.

"I checked the mercenary's system. It's just a standard operating system; it can't block the subnet Poseidon at all."

"And while he's skilled, he doesn't seem well-versed in networking."

"It must have been an outsider who cut off the subnet Poseidon's signal."

Brigitte's expression shifted repeatedly before she finally huffed.

"I hope so. Did he say why he wanted to see me?"

Placide shook his head: "He only mentioned something we desperately wanted, like a chip."

"Chip? Could it be... bring him to see me!"
