Chapter 14: Each other's prey
Looking at the progress bar in front of him that still showed no progress and the note below that said 'the remaining time is 99 hours+', Mo Tan's face was a little gloomy. This kind of expression was in his current situation. It is rare to see someone with a [Chaotic Neutral] character, which shows how serious the situation is...
His pure black laptop looks like it has been around for a long time, and this appearance can be thrown into the second-hand market. It is estimated that it cannot be sold for more than 200 yuan. Whether it is the thick and rough appearance or the sound of the fan that is always buzzing, it seems to tell others how bad the economic situation of the owner is.
In fact, this is not the case at all. Compared with the popular lightweight super notebooks on the market, the reason why this machine is so heavy is because it is filled with various materials that have been processed by Mo Tan. Modified parts, although the operating system on the surface will be defeated by 99.99% of computers no matter what master benchmark is used, but that is only because the performance of this notebook is usually suppressed to about 3%, and only Only when you log in to the system that Mo Tan set up himself will reveal another terrifying side.
In the words he once showed off to a second-hand recycling dealer who did not want to be named, 'if this thing is squeezed hard enough, it can at least replace the high-intensity work of the national unified information link for twenty minutes. above! ’
To explain it simply, within twenty minutes, his notebook, which looks like a living fossil, can simultaneously process and calculate all basic information in the country, from case filing statistics in community hospitals to routine every two hours. There is no problem with a national census~
In most cases, in 2049, all this kind of work involves a large-scale intelligence matrix called the 'Integrated Information Link' The responsible person is a veritable state machine, and its main underground area is even as large as two football fields.
I have to say that this fact is a bit of a fantasy. Although Mo Tan said that it can only be replaced for about twenty minutes, let alone a 16-inch old-fashioned notebook as thick as a brick. , even if it were replaced by the Baltan beta-type fever-level smart computer that is recognized as the highest performance on the market, it would not be able to replace the "Matrix" for even one minute. It would go from overloading and smoking to catching fire and exploding in an instant.
So at that time, the second-hand dealer just thought that Mo Tan was talking nonsense. After delivering the goods, he politely exchanged business words with him and left, without taking it seriously at all.
But in fact... what Mo Tan said is true...
There are even reservations!
His computer, which has been modified countless times and 'adjusted' every six months, really has such powerful functions, and the fundamental reason is just to be able to keep up with him. Just three independently designed software.
Conducting conventional hacking operations and identity disguise: Necronomicon - Book of the Dead system.
Used to track and lock SUN: Huntingangel - Hunter Angel system.
Compatible with all non-spiritual simulation games: Highenergy——High Energy System
The above three systems were all written by Mo Tan himself. The first one to be completed was the game royal system. When he was in junior high school, he started to earn his first pot of gold by cracking the industry out of interest. After all, with the passage of time, With the development, the price of game consoles is getting cheaper and cheaper, but the software under the platform is extremely expensive. This trend makes Mo Tan, who was still in the category of shot at that time, particularly unhappy, so...
So in view of the feeling The topic will go further and further away, so let’s skip it for now.
The Necronomicon system is a representative work of Mo Tan when his computer skills reached a new stage. At that time, he had thoroughly diagnosed his multiple personality schizophrenia, and he was preparing to start the process of querying relevant information in the following period. This software was developed in , and it gradually drifted away from the path of social instability.
As for the Bayonetta system, it has been mentioned before. It was developed by SUN in order to find out the program. After years of upgrades and improvements, it has now become a very complete query function. and intelligence gathering systems.
In the process of the successive births of these three softwares, Mo Tan was gradually unable to keep up with the hardware, and then he went to learn...
He succeeded.
Then he started trying to make it himself...
He succeeded again.
Then he started to modify it...
Finally, he came up with a device that was a little bit too much.
Regarding Mo Tan’s computer problem, we will stop here first. The reason why we have explained so much is mainly because at this moment, a very unexpected situation occurred for him!
It was so unexpected that Mo Tan's face at this time became a little unsightly...
"Fangye...SUN..." He tapped the keyboard quickly with both hands, a A simple white pop-up window kept flashing and zooming. After a short and precise confirmation, Mo Tan finally confirmed that he had been tricked. After being silent for a while, he sighed softly and murmured: "It turns out that the flaw was revealed in the first place. yes We..."
The work efficiency of the Bayonetta system is extremely powerful, and Motan's network cable hidden in the dark grid has almost no bandwidth limit. Even if the area that needs to be screened is very wide, it is absolutely impossible. There is a possibility that there is still no progress after a day and a night. The empty frame on the screen indicates that the progress from the beginning of the search to the present has always been zero. In theory, this possibility never exists!
You must know that Mo Tan’s changes to the conditions yesterday have narrowed the scope several times compared to the past. Even if it is still impossible to make much progress in a short period of time, this situation is impossible to happen unless...
Unless overnight, there are countless people in the world who meet the requirements of "female, yellow race, eighteen to twenty-five years old, Chinese, mother is still alive, have never purchased innocent company peripheral products, December 31, 2048" No. Well no one showed up tonight in all conditions outdoors.
Of course this is impossible!
So the conclusion is very simple...
"Stop the search." The corner of Mo Tan's mouth suddenly turned up in a playful arc, and he whispered to the sound picker in front of him: "Switch to Necronomicon immediately System, carry out address camouflage and trace cleaning work in advance.”
After a second, the screen on the monitor has turned into a snowy white, with a large number of red light spots on it, which are disappearing.
"Haha, you are really smart, what a pity, what a coincidence..." Mo Tan breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at the game cabin in the center of the living room, and chuckled: "It seems that luck is here this time. Stand on my side~"
......
Somewhere in country C
A sleepy murmur sounded in the dark room, and a few seconds later, a long and scattered man The slender figure with hair struggled to sit up from the bed, casually put the crimson headphones on the head of the bed, and slowly moved to the seat next to the bed.
Precisely picked up the soda on the corner of the table, opened the ring and drank it in one gulp. The girl smacked her lips with satisfaction, and then let out a crisp and ethereal laugh. Although the sunlight is completely blocked out by thick black curtains, making the house always dark, it does not affect the owner's vision at all. It is not difficult to develop this ability that is close to night vision, as long as Most people can endure that claustrophobic and dark space for a long time.
She lightly snapped her fingers, and the monitors around her suddenly lit up, illuminating her figure. She was a girl who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old. Because her body was slightly thin, her actual age might be even higher. Just a year or two older.
The girl was only wearing a pure white vest and underwear at this time. The large area of exposed skin was very fair, but it was slightly sickly pale, and she had a very innocent and pure look. Face, long black hair is messy and scattered on the back.
Her name is Mu You, and she is two months short of turning 20. She is a stay-at-home mom with no education, no job, and no parents.
“A strange girl who never says hello to others, I guess she may be a little bit autistic.”
This is the unanimous evaluation of Muyou by the neighbors who only see her once in a long time. However, in today's society, nothing is unusual. Just a girl with an eccentric personality is not surprising. It has become a topic of conversation between neighbors after dinner.
No one knows about Muyu’s other identities...
BlackSun, the legend in the hacker world, Futaba, the human female mage in [The Boundary of Innocence], won the exam in the online exam Anonymous geniuses who have obtained more than a dozen top qualifications in psychology and computer science and related doctorates, etc.
"Wow~ After getting up, you still need to take a sip of Dr. Pepper to be happy!" Muyu groaned like a middle-aged office worker who just came home from get off work and drank a bottle of cold beer. , put the bottle of what was called 'a drink loved by wise people' on the table, raised his head and looked around at the large number of monitors that were gradually lighting up in the room, and grinned: "Let me see the results, NAVI~ "
"Yes." The pleasant electronic synthesized sound came from all directions.
"Let me count the number of visits to the fake information that I arranged before in 24 hours~" Mu You said while gently stretching her body. She didn't mind at all that her beauty was exposed at the moment. After all, besides her, there was only one person in the bedroom. A highly intelligent AI named NAVI, not to mention the gender of this AI is set to female.
After about two or three seconds of silence, the screen on the wall on Muyou's left hand side against the door suddenly turned green, with pieces of golden characters scrolling rapidly, and then the AI calmly stated: : "Type I virtual bait has been visited 27 times, type II has been visited 15 times, types III, IV, and V have all been visited 9 times, and type VI virtual bait has been visited... 3254259 times."
< br>"I'm hooked~" Muyou clapped her hands suddenly and squatted on the chair while tapping the unusually huge oval-shaped device on the table in front of her that looked like a keyboard. The glasses were covered with screen reflections from all angles, and there were also There are countless data and IPs that are being refreshed crazily. He smiled and said to himself: "Let me see~ Let me see~ You can't escape no matter what you do this time~ Tsk, virtual address and disguise again? NAVI , help me count!”
……
“NAVI?”
...
"Isn't it?!" Mu You exclaimed, quickly jumped down from the chair, trotted to the corner of the room with her bare feet, opened a thin crystal plate, and went to She took a look inside, and then exclaimed: "Huh? It crashed?!"
The girl rolled her eyes, put her hand in and fiddled with it twice to let the AI restart automatically, and walked back to the table with wide eyes. In front of her, she clenched her little fists hard and hummed: "I can do it myself!"
She directly pulled open the top drawers on both sides of the table, and then clicked the oval keyboard-shaped object in front of her. He split it into two halves and placed them on the two drawers that were pulled open by his side. Then he took out a relatively ordinary external keyboard from behind, plugged it into the host machine in front of him, and put it in front of him, holding both hands in front of him. The rhythm started to move quickly and softly, as if playing a piano, and it was still playing a piece of music on the level of "Flight of the Bumblebee"...
The whole room lit up.
It wasn't that the sunlight finally broke through the sealed space, but that there were almost a dozen monitors all over the room refreshing the data stream at a crazy speed...
"You bastard!" Mu You said. Using those slender fingers to maintain the operation of at least 600AMP, he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "The reaction speed is too fast! You have done more than half of the more than three million visits." Disguise and forcible shielding, was your computer built with the help of aliens? Don’t talk about NAVI... I’m almost going to die!”
But having said that, the girl’s eyes were filled with tears. Shining with an almost fanatical look, she was obviously just a little girl who looked a little malnourished, but Mu You was exuding an extremely strong aura at this time! He is obviously only a little over 1.5 meters tall, but now he is as tall as... 1.6 meters tall...
In short, he looks very powerful!
The girl who met Hei Fan from the beginning in [Innocence Realm] has completely lost her lazy look at that time. The corners of her mouth are raised, and her light-colored eyes are full of unreasonable thoughts. With joy, my hands almost danced around and became an afterimage!
"I will definitely win! After all, the one who showed his flaws first... was you!"
...
Ten minutes later
"Huh?" accompanied by a wind chime. With a beep-like sound, Muyou's hand stopped. From just now to now, she had eliminated almost one-third of the targets almost instantly with the help of the logic system and extremely sharp intuition, but the remaining ones were getting more and more... Trouble is, there are some traps that can look fake and may even cause irreparable consequences with just a little inspection, which makes her have to slow down.
[Maybe, I won’t be able to catch it this time...]
Just when she was a little discouraged, she was suddenly startled by the sudden sound of the bell. After being stunned for less than a second, she immediately threw herself on the bed and started a green notebook that was randomly thrown on it. The homepage of a certain phishing website.
At the bottom of the messy pile of virtues and arts, there is a string of detailed numbers that are being refreshed rapidly.
"What's going on?" Muyou blinked, and while memorizing the numbers quickly, he muttered: "Even if you find out that I'm checking you, you won't contact me in advance! What on earth do you want to say..."
She did not go back to continue the 'hunt' that would probably turn out to be futile. Instead, she turned over and sat cross-legged on the quilt, closed her eyes and began to quickly decipher this string of information in her mind.
Soon, a newspaper silhouette that met the requirements appeared in my mind.
The codebook was found...
