War Paradise

——Like the old-fashioned Internet in the past, with the development of this new type of data network in the field, hackers have also appeared.

These guys who wreak havoc and lawlessness in the virtual network are undoubtedly the most troublesome existence for network administrators.

Hackers’ various frenzied sabotage activities cause countless economic losses every day, and those powerful enough hackers, even playing with cyber police and protection software for pleasure, seem to be full of loopholes, but can be caught every time. Catch the last moment before escaped to life.

The administrators have always hated these unpunished madmen, but they have nothing to do.

But today, it seems that a "legend" has fallen.

After reading the content of the news, Lin Chi thoughtfully closed the page in front of him. While following the black-robed man, he casually asked: "Do you know the'Black Dahlia'?"

"I am a member of the hacker forum. I have no intersection with her." Frankenstein replied immediately, and then asked, "What's wrong."

"It's okay, I just ask casually." Lin Chi said, raising his head and staring at this area.

They entered the tenth district of the domestic Internet through high-speed optical fiber. Unlike districts 12 and 13, there are a lot less tourists in this area, and the deserted streets reveal a little oppressive feeling.

Many towering skyscrapers stand in this area, dividing the blocks below into neat grids, casting heavy shadows.

——The tenth district is a typical commercial area, and there are very few pedestrians on the street.

The buildings here are basically provided to various companies and institutions. Generally, users in the field who go to negotiate and handle business will basically use special ports to "transmit" directly to the interior of the reception area, and will not stay on the street.

Therefore, the streets of this modern city full of skyscrapers were almost empty at this time. Apart from Lin Chi and Frankenstein, there were basically no other people.

"Where is your hiding place?" Lin Chi used the encrypted channel to ask the black-robed man next to him.

"Yes." Frankenstein replied: "Please follow me."

The two of them crossed the empty street and entered the shadows between the two glass-walled buildings. Several electronic guards ignored them and passed on the sidewalk behind them.

Although the terrain and character modeling in the field are much rougher than in the game, and it is still impossible to fight. But at this time, Lin Chi felt like he was playing an imaging game in his brain. He opened the menu to check the time, and it was 8:30 in the morning.

——The Arena Contest of "Blade" will start in the afternoon. I still have a few hours to stay in the field to investigate.

Lin Chi followed Frankenstein to just below a glass curtain wall building, and saw the man in black robes standing at the blind spot of the camera, using the master key in front of a piece of dirty glass.

After it was operated, a dark purple wooden door suddenly appeared on the seemingly normal glass wall.

Seeing that the black-robed man was about to stretch out his hand to open the door, Lin Chi suddenly took a step forward and stopped the movements of Frankenstein:

"Wait a minute," he whispered.

Although it seemed nothing unusual, there was an inexplicable feeling enveloped in his heart. For some reason, he always felt that this place revealed a strange sense of disobedience.

"What's the matter." Frankenstein turned his head and looked at him.

"I think something is wrong..." Lin Chi said seriously.

Although he could not see the specific abnormality, he always felt that the situation was not normal. To describe it, there is a sense of violation:

——Maybe something that shouldn't have appeared, or something that should have happened but didn't happen.

Thinking of this, Lin Chi clenched his fists slightly, and the faint pain from the palm of his hand made him suddenly realize the source of his sense of disobedience:

In the domain space that shouldn't have pain, this feeling that shouldn't have appeared. As for why this is the case, there is no need to explain the reasons:

"Quickly retreat, this is a war zone!"

Before Lin Chi's voice fell, the murderous data stream coming from behind, like an invisible giant hand, firmly clamped his body. But at the last moment before losing control, Lin Chi had already opened the menu and clicked the red button "Exit Domain".

The world in front of him turned into a vague shadow, Lin Chi's feeling instantly faded, and when he opened his eyes again, the green light inside the game cabin came into view.

"..."

He untied his belt as quickly as possible, opened the hatch and jumped out, picked up his phone and started calling Frankenstein.

However, the virus that gained self-awareness did not respond to his call.

Because the Frankenstein at this time has no time to answer any questions:

Facing the two electronic guards rushing from the corner of the street, Frankenstein suddenly raised his right hand, and the shell module that was left in the domain when Lin Chiqiang retreated, disappeared instantly, and the gray residue dissipated in the virtual air.

The weird-looking gun in the electronic guard's hand pointed at the head of the black-robed man, but it couldn't prevent the Frankenstein from deleting the modules used by Lin Chi as quickly as possible, avoiding his identity exposure.

"complete."

The slender figure wearing a black robe said, raising his left hand and pointing in the direction where the electronic guard rushed.

A dull roar burst out from the ground, and the ground in the tenth district began to tremble. A silver metal wall suddenly rose from the ground, almost partitioning the entire street, directly blocking the way of the electronic guard!

The "firewall" that could block the direct attack of anti-virus software even cut open a nearby building. Even if you can't see the situation inside, you can judge by just looking at the damage of the building. Several companies working in it, I'm afraid Work is going to be temporarily suspended...

"delete."

Under the hood of the dark robe, there was a cold female voice. The two electronic guards who were about to continue to attack, even before they had time to find a breakthrough, suddenly flickered, and then... disappeared without warning.

At this time, Frankenstein also realized that he had stepped into a trap. This hiding place should have been discovered by the Internet police long ago. The obliteration procedures sent by those **** chose to ambush near the entrance.

Frankenstein, who has fought countless times with various anti-virus software and firewalls, is already familiar with this kind of battle. The two electronic guards alone are not its opponents at all!

However, there are obviously more than two electronic guards sent by the other side.

Frankenstein turned around and erased the door on the glass curtain wall. He was about to forcibly exit through the emergency port, but found three more electronic guards, rushing over from a position not isolated by the "wall" on the right hand side, trying to restrain its body .

"delete."

With the icy sound under the hood, the data of the two electronic guards, along with their bodies, were forcibly erased. The remaining "survivor" had half of the body, and the program that was destroyed has been destroyed. Can't fight anymore.

The figure in the black robe flashed ghostly in front of the wreckage of the electronic guard, reached out from the destroyed program block, took out a piece of internal data, and began to analyze the command received by the electronic guard:

"Don't destroy it, keep the complete data. We need complete data."

After reading this command, a dark vortex suddenly appeared around Frankenstein, and the whole figure seemed to be sucked into the black hole and completely disappeared from the domain.

When the other electronic guards arrived, they only found a wall similar to a firewall, which was difficult to break from the front. And the half-destroyed virtual body of his companion...

The phone screen was shining with a blue light, and an icon in the shape of an earpiece was projected in the air above the screen.

When Lin Chi contacted Frankenstein for the fifteenth time, he finally received a concise response:

"I'm here."

Seeing the reply from the other party, Lin Chi, who had already frowned, finally let out a long sigh of relief, and then asked hurriedly, "Is it all right?"

"They are not my opponents." The electronic tone from the phone, with a hint of pride in the tone: "But I can't find the original data. That hideout is abandoned."

"It's okay, I can leave the green hills without worrying about firewood." Lin Chi said something that the other party might not understand.

It seems that even if the TDK-131 virus has been judged to be "completely eliminated," Frankenstein is not at ease. Internet police and anti-virus software are still tracking it, but they don't regard it as a virus, but as a hacker or something.

Those people should have never expected that the virus in the network could even evolve consciousness, so they did not use the TDK-131 program to hunt down Frankenstein.

Because of this, Frankenstein can escape unscathed, but even so, he still cannot be taken lightly:

"You'd better not go to the field recently, just stay at home for a few days." Lin Chi reminded.

——Since Frankenstein has not revealed his identity yet, it is better to be careful now. If those who maintain order in the field find that TDK-131 has not been completely wiped out, and use the anti-virus software to deal with it again, Frankenstein will undoubtedly be struggling in the future and will never be able to return to the field.

"I understand." An emotional voice rang in the phone.

"That's good." Lin Chi said, leaning on the sofa in a lazy posture.

After the "adventure" in the field just now, he was woken up by the phone in the morning, and he was already a little sleepy.

Perhaps it is time to sleep and wait for the afternoon game.

...

Two hours later.

Lin Chi, who woke up from the sofa in the living room, rubbed his numb arm and looked at the content of the email received on the phone, as if an ellipsis was slowly rising above his head:

"Dear "Blade" players: I regret to inform you that due to our server failure, this game will undergo emergency maintenance. The arena competition originally scheduled to be held this afternoon. It will also be postponed to other times. .

The specific holding time will be notified separately. Audiences who have purchased tickets for the Arena Contest, please don’t worry, your tickets can also be used normally during the postponed games.

Please continue to support "Sword Blade", and we will wholeheartedly provide you with better services. "

——So, the semi-finals and finals that were supposed to be held this afternoon were just cancelled?

"what's the situation?"

Lin Chi opened the official website of "Blade" to confirm the status of the game operator, but found that the location of the game's virtual server was the tenth district where he and Frankenstein were ambushed.

The server of "Blade" was destroyed in the battle between Frankenstein and the Electronic Guard, right?

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Chi opened the game forum and looked at the chat content of the players inside. According to the descriptions of the players who were playing the game and were suddenly kicked back to the real world, resentful players, the server of "Blade" , It was disconnected at about 8:30 this morning.

In this way, my own speculation should be true...

Realizing this, Lin Chi couldn't help laughing blankly, and muttered, "This is a coincidence."

"What's wrong." Frankenstein's question sounded in the phone.

"It's okay, I think it's time to play the game." Lin Chi said, looking at the large machine in the corner of the living room.

Since the "Blade" arena competition is temporarily suspended, I don't need to prepare for a duel with the Valkyrie for the time being, so I can relax.

As for his recent method of killing time, there is only one:

Lin Chi opened the streamlined shell of the game warehouse and switched the internally loaded program from the client terminal of the domain to the recently popular "War Paradise". When he was about to lie in happily, the complaints of Frankenstein sounded behind him:

"I want to play too."

"You should rest first, and wait until the limelight passes." Lin Chi smiled.

Before he could speak, he closed the hatch and unlocked the safety lock. Relax and lie down on the soft chair. After fixing your body, press the button on the armrest.

Hum!

The roar exploded in his consciousness, and the chaotic color blocks spliced ​​by countless colors instantly occupied all of his sight.

The scenery in front of me is constantly flowing like a kaleidoscope. When the line of sight is clear again, the building that is still under construction is greeted.

The efficiency of Steve Architects does not seem to be very good. Now the building has just reached the seventh floor. Vague color blocks appear on the top of the building, like a squirming mosaic.

"Is this system not ready yet, right?"

Seeing that the construction workers he hired were still building buildings, Lin Chi also decisively opened the game menu and began to prepare for matching.
