My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!

Chapter 427: Chapter 285 The Real Reason

"Do you want me to do a job for you?"

Ning Shisan quickly understood what the other party meant.

[Bingo!]

"If I disagree, you will leak my information and even send someone after me?" Ning Shisan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

[No no no! You got it all wrong. I despise forcing someone against their will—twisting someone’s arm isn’t my style.

If you don’t agree, I won’t insist.]

"Then I disagree."

[...]

[I think, as a concerned citizen, I have the duty to notify the police about criminals in our midst, such as dark web assassins and the like...]

Ning Shisan: "..."

I’m buying none of your bullshit!

Seeing that the other party was silent, Meng Lang spoke again.

[Hehe! Mr. Black Cat, don’t you want to hear the reward I’m offering first? You might be tempted, you know?]

Not wanting to provoke him further, Meng Lang did not call him by his real name again but used his dark web codename.

"Not interested. Coming from a top hacker like you, whatever you want me to do must be extremely dangerous.

Sorry, but I’m just an ordinary person who strives for a stable life; I have no interest in getting involved in dangerous affairs."

Indeed! The tasks I want you to do are none of them low-risk...

[Looking at your record, you don’t seem like someone who pursues a stable, ordinary life.]

Being an assassin is not exactly a stable job, is it?

"And how much do you know about me?" Ning Shisan cautiously asked.

[Hmm... that depends on how much I want to know.]

Ning Shisan frowned.

What an ego!

So how much does he really know about me?

[Relax, I don’t usually take pleasure in prying into others’ privacy. This time, it’s purely your bad luck that you crossed paths with me—your target conflicted with mine.]

"What?!"

Ning Shisan was startled and then quickly understood.

"It was you who interfered with my assassination of Xu Bolin!"

[You’ve got it backward. It was you who interfered with my operations. I was just removing an obstacle.]

Ning Shisan finally realized why he had suddenly become a target for no reason.

"So, are you sent by Xu Bolin to retaliate against me?"

[Xu Bolin doesn’t have the clout to hire me. I just saw your history and got curious. Consider it hunting fascination.]

"Should I feel honored then?" Ning Shisan said with some helplessness.

He had not expected to be targeted for such a reason.

And yet, I received the job via the dark web, took such precautions beforehand, and still, he managed to anticipate and stop my assassination attempt. How powerful does one have to be to do that?

After all, guarding against thieves requires much more sophisticated skills than being a thief...

[Hmm... of course, you should feel honored. Out of over a billion people in the nation, I took notice of you; I hope you won’t take this lightly.]

Ning Shisan: "..."

[Hehe! Just a little joke to ease the atmosphere! By the way, that little girl by your side... Xiao Yue, isn’t it?

Setting your important account passwords to her birthday, seems like she’s very important to you?]

Meng Lang’s voice, altered by a voice-changing software, sounded somewhat low and hoarse...

Ning Shisan’s face changed, and his voice turned icy in an instant.

"What do you want? If you dare to lay a finger on her, I will come after you, no matter where you hide!"

Anger surged in his heart, but his mind cooled down as he started looking for an escape route.

Now that his identity and address had been exposed, there was no choice—he needed to move Xiao Yue right away.

Such a pity, we had just settled down.

Xiao Yue, she quite likes this city and this little home...

But now’s not the time to consider this. Since he could find me, for all I know, I might be under surveillance, making escaping not so easy...

[Hey hey! Don’t get excited. Do I look like a villain who stoops to using a little girl to threaten someone?]

"Under these circumstances, you still expect me to think of you as a good person?"

[Hehe! I just wanted to confirm her importance to you. Seeing your reaction, I can rest assured...]

"What are you getting at..."

Before Ning Shisan could finish speaking, he noticed a file transfer prompt popping up on his laptop which had been hacked and controlled.

Then the file opened automatically, and after a few seconds of decompression and decryption, something like a technical blueprint appeared in front of him in slide form, each filled with dense data annotations...

"This is..."

[Mechanical Prosthetics technology, the black technology meticulously crafted by our organization.

It uses state-of-the-art neural connection technology, fully biomimetic structures, and is highly integrated with artificial intelligence algorithms.

It can decipher the wearer’s neural muscle signals from the legs, identify the wearer’s motion intentions, and convert them into actions, making it smart and nimble, moving as intended.

It has 2 knee joints, 2 ankle joints, 28 toe joints, and a full 7.5 degrees of actuation freedom.

It can perform nearly all the motions a human body can achieve and boasts an extraordinarily long battery life—a 1-hour charge for 72 hours of use.

Wearing this type of mechanical prosthetics, even those with disabled legs can move freely. Coupled with synthetic skin, it would look no different from an ordinary person.

It could even grant far greater explosive power and speed to your legs than the average person has.

Absolutely a must-have for home and travel!]

At these words, Ning Shisan’s breathing hitched.
