Chapter 161 Falling into the Abyss
“Psychics. At least the second ring.”
Watching the visitors leaving this local area belonging to the [Theatre], the person who came to receive them sighed. Tone: "The current Casting Light City is getting more and more troublesome."
As a local network established within the framework of "Thousand Stars City", visitors must abide by the rules of "anonymous service" unless they are willing.
In a place like this that is not entirely its own territory, even the well-known hacker organization [Theater] cannot see through the visitor's disguise and identify the true identity.
But as a clerk at the [Theater] in Thousand Stars City, the man still has some discernment.
With the help of the local network, he could see that the opponent possessed psychic powers, but he could not determine which level it was.
Just considering the few bounty targets chosen by the other party, he must have the strength of the second ring - of course, if this person has a high-end customized equipment and prosthetic body, that is another matter .
"The ace agents of the General Security Bureau, the elite troops of giant companies, and the continuous reinforcements of enlightened people"
The man thought.
Even the Space Carrier came out, forcing Chakoro to come forward in person - that was a fifth-level psyker.
Even if you have the highest authority in [Theatre], the top few 'Abyss Lords' at depth 5 are much inferior to you, so you must treat them with caution, and even bow to them to a certain extent.
He sighed again and couldn't help but think about it seriously.
——How about leaving Cast Light City for a while?
These days, even ordinary citizens are vaguely aware of it, and as a [theater] clerk, he knows far more than ordinary citizens.
The current situation is getting worse and worse. What if one day in the future, these forces suddenly take over and use various restricted methods to carry out an extermination operation - what if they drown themselves in the deep submersible warehouse in the aftermath of the battle?
My body is not very strong, and the implant configuration that specializes in "network hacking and protection" cannot stop a high-power plasma cannon.
“Alas”
·······
After a flash of white light, Song Shi reappeared on the streets of Thousand Stars City.
Thanks to the rapid development and prosperity of the Internet ecosystem in recent years, there are not many hacker organizations in the world today.
Even if you add the prefixes of "well-known" and "powerful", this number can exceed double digits - and as the [Enterprise Alliance] at the forefront of network technology, most of the former were born here.
However, compared to real organizations, most of them can only be regarded as a loosely structured interest gathering.
There are no charters and plans, and there is no compulsory commander. Often just on a whim, they get together to exchange technology and launch an illegal activity against the company.
Nine years ago, on the eve of the official launch of one of the flagship products of [Time Series], the latest aerostat of the "Rinkuzer" series, its complete design drawings and detailed data were suddenly leaked, along with A set of ultra-high-definition bird pictures of a certain director spread wildly on the Internet.
Within four hours of the leak, a total of seven hacker groups including [Doomsday], [Clock Wizards], and [Transparent Iron Curtain] emerged, all claiming that they planned the leak and were willing to take full responsibility for it. He became famous on the Internet for a while.
Then.
In the crazy revenge that followed [Chronological Passage], the members of these seven hacker organizations dispersed in an instant. They each left harsh words and then disconnected, trying to find a way to escape.
To this day, except for the meme emoticon package made by the director in ultra-clear Big Bird, which is still in use, this once noisy incident has completely come to an end and has settled on the seabed of the Internet composed of a huge amount of information. Deep down, it gradually disappears into people’s memories.
Compared with these forces that prefer "interest gatherings", [Theatre] is one of the few hacker organizations with systems and management. It serves as a platform to provide various services, and at the same time gathers resources to provide members with some Shelter, uplift and help. Likewise, these members also have to contribute their own strength to [theatre].
In essence, [Theatre] is still not a strict organization with a strict system. It still retains the traditions and customs of hackers - illegality, unscrupulousness, freedom, and flying independently when disaster strikes.
But compared to those of the same kind, [Theatre] can be considered "regular".
——This is also the reason why I chose to find "theatre".
Song Shixin Tao.
In his previous life, he had cooperated with theaters several times, and the experience was pretty good - at least he could find after-sales service. In the previous transaction, the other party promised to consolidate all the information on the bounties and send it to him within seventy-two hours. At the same time, he is willing to assume the role of a "middleman" and negotiate with the reward publisher and withdraw money on Song Shi's behalf.
Of course Song Shi also enjoyed his leisure time.
I don’t want to waste time on such complicated and meaningless things.
At this moment, a buzzing gunshot suddenly sounded from not far away.
——Bang!
Song Shi looked at the source of the sound, and then his expression changed slightly.
On the street where the sun was shining brightly, a man in short-sleeved shirts and beach shorts pulled the pistol, and a wisp of smoke drifted from the muzzle.
Right in front of him was a man in the same attire, but wearing a classic knight's helmet.
But at this moment, where the man was hit by the bullet, there was a large fuzzy pixel matrix, as if the signal was distorted, and the shell was damaged, revealing his "true body" deeper inside.
It’s not a joke, and that pistol is not just for appearances.
With the assistance of virtual infiltration technology, the originally abstract network and data will be transformed into a more concrete world visible to the naked eye, making it easier for users to understand and apply.
The broken shell represents "Anonymous Breakthrough" and the driven bullet is "IP Lockdown".
——This guy is serious!
He is doing it in [Thousand Stars City]!
The next breath was almost the sound of a gunshot, accompanied by a sharp siren. With the gunman as the center, the scene within a radius of fifty meters was dyed with a layer of scarlet, just like the dusk under the apocalypse.
Above the street, several light groups began to solidify rapidly, with burly outlines outlined - those were the self-disciplined guards of [Thousand Stars City], which can be understood as the immune proteins in the human body and the anti-virus software in the computer.
Seeing this scene, the shooter did not panic.
——Three figures emerged from the nearby crowd at the same time!
Obviously, he is not alone.
The four men took out their weapons and called out their real equipment. A dark blue exoskeleton that looked like a diving suit or powered armor instantly appeared and covered them.
When the four people rushed over, the man who was shot did not sit still and wait for death. He rolled and crawled, knocked away pedestrians, and ran towards the distance.
Song Shi's position was exactly in the direction in which he was running.
——Boom!
The surging engine roar began to roar, and the "Autonomous Guard" above had been loaded. With the blessing of Thousand Star City's huge computing power, the data-crushing muzzle began to light up.
Everything happens in an instant.
When the shot man ran headlong into Song Shi and was about to reach the blockade border, looking at the locked artillery overhead, the leader of the four men no longer hesitated - the propeller of the power armor was instantly overloaded.
At the sudden increase in speed, the moment he approached the person who was shot, ignoring Song Shi who was so close at hand, he crushed something!
The earth rippled, and then turned into waves. In less than a frame, the nearby streets suddenly twist and turn in a non-geometric way.
Then, like a film that is constantly stretched and tightened, when it can no longer bear the limit, it tears apart.
With the objects on the membrane, they fall deeper together.
The "sharp needle" technology from [Zero Degree Network] broke through the local protection of Qianxing City, penetrated the current zone, and pulled the target into a deeper zone.
Current district level.
——[Depth 3].
