Chapter 222: Miracle in the Refrigerator

Ling Luxian immediately called his Chevrolet Emperor, put the refrigerator in the car, and transported it back to the base. It was time to count his harvest.

After returning to the base, Ling Luxian didn't expect Qi Wei to be there, but the red iron mask on her face disappeared, replaced by a normal face.

"What are you doing?"

Ling Luxian pointed at her face, a little shocked. They had been together for several years, but he didn't expect that Qi Wei would suddenly change her face, which caught him off guard.

Qi Wei came over, put her arms around his neck, and whispered in Ling Lu's ear: "This is the face plate I customized. It looks exactly like my previous one. How is it? Do you like it?"

Ling Lu twitched the corner of his mouth, subconsciously scratched his face, and said: "I like you, but I don't know why you changed so suddenly?"

Qiwei looked into his eyes and did not answer.

After a long while, Qiwei shifted her gaze and looked at the refrigerator in Ling Luxian's car, and asked, "What is this?"

Ling Luxian opened the car door, patted the refrigerator, and said, "Look, your birthday is coming soon, and this is my birthday surprise for you."

"Birthday surprise?"

Qiwei had a blank expression on her face, but she was secretly happy in her heart. She didn't expect Ling Luxian could still remember her birthday.

She thought Ling Luxian had forgotten about her because there were so many sisters around her. Unexpectedly, she even prepared a birthday present for her.

Qiwei opened the refrigerator without changing her expression and found only a corpse inside. Since it was frozen, there was no smell.

But what does it mean that he sent himself a corpse?

"This is……?"

Qiwei immediately looked at Ling Luxian with cold eyes. She thought Ling Luxian was just trying to fool her and said it was a gift for her without even knowing what was inside.

I was a little disappointed for a moment. I was so ready to be a new me in the new year. I didn't expect that in the end, it would be a waste of effort.

Seeing the face of an old acquaintance in the refrigerator, the shadow of Johnny Silverhand jumped out, “Fuck you, this is Ricky Bartomos!

I would recognize this face even if it turned into ashes. In 20 years, there were wanted posters for him all over the streets. Half the city was searching for him.

Poor guy, he didn't expect to lie in the refrigerator like a dead dog, and if the power goes out one day, he will turn into a pile of rotten meat. "

"Johnny, stop being the big brother and laughing at the second brother. Didn't you turn into ash?"

"Stop arguing, this guy must have some good stuff on him, let's look for it quickly." Johnny Silverhand urged.

"Do you even need to say this?"

Ling Luxian looked at the frozen corpse and introduced it to Qiwei: "This is not an ordinary corpse, but a legendary corpse. He is the legendary hacker, Ricky Batmos."

"Ricky Bartmos?" Qi Wei's pupils shrank suddenly, and she looked at the body in the refrigerator in shock. "Is that the Bartmos who used the rabies virus to destroy the initial network?"

Even though Qiwei was a hacker who changed career paths, she had heard of this existence, which had once terrified Arasaka.

It can be said that as long as one is a hacker, he or she knows the name of Batmos.

Ling Luxian looked at the remains of this legendary figure and said with some emotion: "Who else could it be except him?"

"..."

Qiwei looked at Batmos's body without saying a word.

"No, are you so calm?" Ling Luxian scratched his hair, seemingly not expecting Qiwei to behave like this.

"So?" Qiwei looked at him, "Do you think I would scream like a star-chasing little girl?"

Qi Wei seemed calm, but in fact, she was in turmoil. She had never thought that one day, she would be able to see the God of Hackers in person. Even though... he was dead.

I underestimated Ling Luxian's ability. I didn't expect that he could even find the body of Bartmos. This was a tough guy that Arasaka had spent countless efforts on but still couldn't find. It was incredible that he was found so easily by Ling Luxian.

"This is not your style." Ling Luxian sighed, "But you have to give some reaction, otherwise I will seem stupid."

Qiwei rolled her eyes beautifully. How could this guy have such a low EQ? I couldn't say that I was stunned by the shock, right?

"Forget it, these are not the main points."

Ling Luxian fished something out of the icy water. Qiwei took a closer look and found that it was an old version of a network access warehouse, the kind driven by a crank.

Ling Luxian handed the network access port to Qiwei, "Here, look at what this is."

Qiwei took the access chamber and examined it carefully. She realized that this might be the relic of Batmos.

It seems like nonsense, well, it is indeed nonsense. What else could be beside Bartmos if not his relics?

"SGI Technology's Alicia is the top network access warehouse among the products of the same period."

"What are you going to do next?" Qiwei asked.

"As for Bartmos's body, burn it into ashes and put it in the Night City cemetery." Ling Luxian made a joke, "How about letting him stay here for a few days so that other brothers can pay their respects to his remains?"

"It's up to you." Qiwei then shook her head. She usually looked calm and indifferent to worldly matters, but now there was an expression of obvious worry on her face.

"You know, that's not what I'm talking about."

Ling Luxian shook the network access chamber in his hand and said, "Now that we have obtained the network access chamber of Bartmos, there is no reason not to explore the secrets inside."

"Forget it." Qi Wei held Ling Luxian's hand. "Batmos is the god of hackers. What if there are still residual viruses in it? You are already strong enough. There is no need to take any more risks."

Ling Luxian smiled and said, "Don't worry, he is the God of Hackers, but I am not? I said I would give you a special birthday present."

Qiwei couldn't persuade him and had to agree to his request.

Watching Ling Lu get on the hacker chair and connect to Batmos's network access bay, Qiwei rubbed her hands nervously.

At this time, Rebecca and the others had just returned from completing a commission.

Lucy saw Ling Lu sitting on the hacker chair, and Qi Wei was very nervous. She had never seen Qi Wei like this before. She was usually cold and indifferent. Why was she so nervous today?

Looking at Ling Luxian lying on the hacker chair, Lucy had a guess in her mind, could something have happened to him?

This is impossible. Based on her understanding of Ling Luxian, who can be better than Ling Luxian in hacking skills? Qi Wei also knows this. It is strange that she can show such obvious emotional fluctuations.

Rebecca saw the body in the refrigerator and asked Xiang Qiwei: "Who is he? Why did you bring him here?"

Qi Wei looked at Ling Luxian and said without turning her head: "Ricky Bartomos."

"!" Lucy was horrified, "Ricky Bartomos?!"

Obviously she knew what the name meant.
