Twisted Dreams-Chapter 289 - 358: I Am the Greatest Secret in This World
The man with glasses operated the computer in fear:
"How is this possible? They’ve hacked the meeting room’s network! Right under my nose?!"
The man with glasses mumbled as he operated:
"Thankfully, they only hacked into the meeting room; the Security Bureau’s backend is fine."
Zheng Qian breathed a sigh of relief at hearing this from the man with glasses.
It’s just the meeting room; that’s manageable.
If they hacked into the Security Administration’s backend, that would be a big problem.
They would gain access to the Security Bureau’s administrator information, mission information, and other databases.
That would be a disaster for the Security Administration.
Zheng Qian said in a deep voice:
"Do you know where you are? How dare you intrude like this!"
Zheng Qian directed this question at Li Yang.
After Zheng Qian finished speaking, the meeting room fell silent; everyone held their breath.
"It seems this is going to be a very unpleasant conversation."
A shadowy figure composed of code appeared on the big screen.
The administrators all looked towards the big screen in unison.
The shadow of the mysterious figure was also seated, with both hands placed in front.
In different spaces, at the same time, meeting with all the administrators.
Somehow, a wave of unease welled up in everyone’s hearts.
An indistinct sense of oppression emanated from the code-composed figure on the big screen.
The higher-ranked the administrator, the more deeply they felt this pressure.
It was an instinct, a supernatural intuition for sensing a powerful being.
Li Yang didn’t seem to be communicating or interacting with these security administrators.
He seemed more like the host of this meeting, as if this wasn’t a security meeting but a session of the Demon Club.
And he, was the sole master.
Zheng Qian said:
"I am willing to believe this is a friendly, equal, and positive exchange.
However, your sudden hacking into our meeting room made us feel a bit disrespected."
The shadowy figure smiled:
"Haven’t you attacked my forum?
The Security Administration is as domineering as ever.
It reminds me of your actions towards the Demon Race."
Zheng Qian turned pale.
Indeed, they had attempted to hack into the CF Foundation’s backend but failed and were counter-hacked into the meeting room.
That isn’t important.
What’s important is that the mysterious figure mentioned the Demon Race.
They had indeed done several unscrupulous things to the Demon Race.
The first incursion into the Demon Race was triggered by their learning of human culture, which made the Security Administration wary.
The second incursion was sparked by humans tearing apart the peace treaty unilaterally, killing demons, yet demanding an explanation from the Demon Race.
It was indeed bullying the demons too much.
But there was no choice; protecting human interests was the responsibility of the Security Administration.
Notably, the Security Bureau had the upper hand.
What puzzled Zheng Qian was:
The affairs with the Demon Race were top secret; how did this mysterious figure know?
Zheng Qian secretly patted the leader of the technical department beside him and said to the mysterious figure:
"It seems you know a lot of things.
Can I ask you a few questions?
Of course, you may also ask me questions."
The mysterious figure replied:
"The property of the CF Foundation is to answer questions related to the Extraordinary Circle.
You can ask me questions about the extraordinary, and I will answer.
As for the Security Administration, I have nothing I wish to ask or know."
After hearing the mysterious figure’s response, two words surfaced in the minds of everyone present.
Arrogant!
Has someone assumed the role of an expert in the Extraordinary Civilization?
Although the CF forum predicted the next Blood Moon, whether true or false, it will only be confirmed next month.
Zheng Qian said:
"I want to know, will a Blood Moon really appear on the ninth of next month?"
The mysterious figure said:
"Yes."
Zheng Qian immediately followed up:
"How do you know that?"
The mysterious figure said:
"I have no interest in explaining to you; it’s a waste of my time."
Zheng Qian said in a slightly threatening tone:
"This technology the Security Administration must have.
You need to tell the Security Administration everything you know.
The Security Administration can award you a medal and give you material rewards.
Don’t refuse just yet.
Be aware, this is the Security Administration here.
We can easily destroy your forum and pull you out from behind the network.
I am negotiating with you now, but once I find you, it will be a different matter.
Just hacking into the conference room’s network is enough to get you a life sentence."
"Hahaha..."
The mysterious laugh carried a clear tone of sarcasm, ridicule, and disdain.
At this moment, the leader of the technical department, the glasses man, gave Zheng Qian a signal.
Zheng Qian showed a trace of a smile.
He had been talking with Li Yang for so long in order to buy time for the glasses man.
During his conversation with Li Yang, the glasses man had already assigned tasks to his technical department.
They were attacking the CF Foundation forum backend through the network wormhole Li Yang used to infiltrate the conference room.
Zheng Qian immediately ordered:
"Take action now! I want to see who really owns this forum?!"
The glasses man made an ok gesture, and after a few operations, the mysterious figure composed of code on the big screen began to blur and snowflakes appeared.
The mysterious figure sighed:
"As expected, it was a terrible communication."
The snowflakes increased until the mysterious figure’s shadow completely disappeared, replaced by the CF Foundation forum page on the big screen.
Zheng Qian showed a look of pride:
"I refuse to believe the Security Administration’s technical department is inferior to civilian hackers!"
The glasses man tapped away on the keyboard, finally hitting enter, and hacked into the CF Foundation backend.
Before he could celebrate, the page changed.
A pixel snake appeared on the big screen, with a pixel dot in front of it.
It was actually a snake-eating game!
Zheng Qian frowned:
"What’s going on?"
The glasses man wiped the sweat from his forehead:
"That’s the CF Foundation backend’s firewall key.
From my experience, as long as you win the game, making the pixel snake cover the entire screen will open the foundation’s backend.
It’s like the phone’s nine-grid unlock; it takes some time.
I guess the opponent is using the unlock to buy time to delete the backend content.
I’ll quickly unlock the key and won’t give them much time to delete the backend content."
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, the glasses man rubbed his hands together and started the snake game.
Cao Yi said quietly:
"I advise you not to do this.
You think too simply of the forum’s owner."
Zheng Qian gave Cao Yi a displeased look:
"Whether it’s this forum or its owner, they are very important to the Security Administration.
If we master this forum and its owner’s technology, imagine the benefits for the Security Administration.
Unless you don’t trust our technical department?"
After speaking, Zheng Qian stared at the screen, eyes burning with intensity:
"I need to let the forum owner know how foolish it is to provoke the Security Administration."
Cao Yi glanced around at the others.
Aside from Elder He who seemed thoughtful, Zhang Xiaoyi and Xie Qilin were indifferent, while everyone else was fixated on the screen.
It seemed most of the Security Administration had been blinded by desire.
Cao Yi shook his head, staying silent.
The glasses man, indeed a top computer expert, cleared the game within an hour.
The glasses man exclaimed excitedly:
"Alright, we’re about to get in!"
Everyone was watching the glasses man’s moves.
This was the glasses man’s moment to shine.
But suddenly, an anomaly occurred!
The glasses man didn’t access the backend; instead, a skull appeared on the big screen.
The skulls formed the Chinese character for ’Hān’ (foolish).
Immediately after, the glasses man’s laptop emitted black smoke, and the entire Security Administration’s circuits and communications were paralyzed.
Someone rushed in:
"Report! Our database has been hacked!"
The glasses man’s eyes widened:
"How is it possible!? Was the ’snake’ a trap?!
Did I personally plant a virus into our network?!"
Just as Su Manman said, she and the Security Administration’s technical department had an eighty-twenty split.
She used two types of viruses to hack the Security Administration’s system within eighty minutes.
The glasses man took an hour to unlock the snake key, meaning the system was hacked in that hour.
Zheng Qian’s lips turned pale, he felt a spin in his head, and he slumped into his chair.
The Security Administration’s system being hacked meant all their data had been stolen.
"Haha..."
A string of uncontrollable strange laughter echoed from the conference room speakers.
It was the mysterious person!
Elder He took off his reading glasses, laughing and shaking his head:
"Sir, may I at least know who you are?"
The mysterious laughter abruptly stopped, and an eerie voice said:
"I am the world’s biggest secret, goodbye, gentlemen."
