Chapter 472 Interstellar Rebellion 11
Zhou Jue drew the heavy curtains in the hotel room and turned off the lights.
The room dimmed instantly, leaving only the city's ever-burning neon lights filtering through the gaps in the curtains.
She didn't prepare any night clothes or high-tech equipment like a secret agent.
She simply walked to the bedside, lay down, covered herself with the blanket, and closed her eyes.
The whole process felt as natural as an ordinary person who is tired from a journey and is about to get a good night's sleep.
[Host, what... what are you doing?]
The system's voice rang in my mind, tinged with confusion and tension.
[Shouldn't we... infiltrate? Surya's waiting for our intelligence.]
"They've infiltrated."
Zhou Jue's voice responded in his consciousness.
【ah? 】
The system was bewildered.
The next second, an invisible force, undetectable by any instrument, emanated from Zhou Jue's body, piercing through the hotel walls and the bustling city below, like an invisible arrow shooting straight towards the silver spire in the city center.
Astral projection.
Oh right! A cultivator doesn't need to physically go to the site if their divine sense can accomplish something.
The system calmed down and waited for the host's consciousness to return.
In Zhou Jue's "line of sight," the Sky Eye Tower was getting closer and closer.
An invisible energy shield enveloped the entire tower.
This is the first barrier that Sulia mentioned.
Any unauthorized object, whether living or non-living, that attempts to pass through it will be instantly broken down into its most basic particles.
Zhou Jue's divine sense passed straight through without the slightest pause.
The protective shield remained completely still, no alarm sounded, and nothing happened.
As Zhou Jue passed through the protective shield, his "vision" began to rise.
The external structure of the Tianyan Tower is as smooth as a mirror, with no place to climb.
Zhou Jue's divine sense directly penetrated the silver metal shell and entered the tower's interior.
The first floor is a spacious hall.
Squads of guards in silver-white uniforms patrolled in neat steps. Their eyes were sharp, their steps were steady, and each of them exuded the aura of a soldier.
The defenses here are much tighter than those at Sulia's base.
"Have you heard? New regulations were issued today, increasing the sensitivity of the biopheromone tracking system by three percent."
The two guards, who were handing over duties, were talking in hushed tones.
"Another update? The officers are really something. I bet even a leaf can't fly into this place now."
"Yes, the pace of technological advancement and change has been incredibly fast these past few years!"
Zhou Jue's divine sense drifted past them without attracting anyone's attention.
She continued upwards.
The second floor, the third floor, the fourth floor...
Each floor has different functional areas and defense systems.
Thermal imaging scanning array.
Neutrino detector.
Gene sequence scanning beam.
Spatial distortion sensing field.
These devices, which Sulia described as each capable of forming a top-tier defense, were utterly useless before Zhou Jue's divine sense.
They faithfully performed their duties, scanning every inch of space, yet remained completely unaware of this "uninvited guest" who had already intruded.
On the fifteenth floor, Zhou Jue stopped. She sensed a wave of mental energy. Following the intensity of the wave, she saw a mental energy guardian. According to the classification criteria Su Liya gave her, this person should be a level A mental energy.
Below is a huge monitoring center where dozens of staff members sit in front of light screens, monitoring the star network data flow across the entire planet Karava.
At the very center of the monitoring center, an elderly man sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, emanating a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation.
"Interesting." It actually has both physical protection and mental defense, something that Sulia's intelligence didn't mention.
Zhou Jue's divine sense lightly bypassed the core sensory area of that A-level mental power user, and continued to penetrate upwards from the wall beside him.
From the fifteenth to the thirtieth floor, each floor has an A-level mental guardian, but the higher you go, the more guardians there are and the more heavily guarded they are.
On the thirty-first floor, the guardian has been changed to an S-class mental guardian.
Zhou Jue continued through, and throughout the entire process, the S-level mental energy guardian only twitched his brow almost imperceptibly before returning to his calm state.
He seemed to sense something, but couldn't grasp it, dismissing it as his own illusion.
Similarly, the guards' uniforms changed from silver-white to dark black, and they all wore a badge on their chests consisting of a sword and an eye.
The adjudicator.
The most elite guard of the pro-suppression faction.
The atmosphere here is completely different from down below.
There was no conversation, no movement, only deathly silence.
Each adjudicator was like a statue, standing guard at their post, exuding a chilling aura of killing intent.
Zhou Jue's consciousness slowed down here.
She began to take notes.
Each team has a 15-minute shift change period.
The password changes every hour and is issued directly from the command center located on the fiftieth floor.
From the 31st to the 50th floor, each floor is guarded by S-rank guardians; from the 51st to the 60th floor, each floor is guarded by SS-rank mental guardians.
As for physical protection, there are a total of 360 adjudicators from the 30th to the 60th floor, working in three shifts.
Their weapon is the latest model of the "Annihilation" rifle, which can instantly disintegrate the biofield of a Tier 4 Gene Lock Warrior.
An hour later, Zhou Jue had thoroughly explored the Sky Eye Tower, inside and out.
Only one place remains.
Top of the tower.
The core area where the main system host is located.
Zhou Jue's divine sense arrived at the heavy alloy door in the core area.
The door has no keyhole, no combination lock, only a small groove for genetic and iris recognition.
This door is said to be able to withstand the main gun fire of a light Star Destroyer.
Zhou Jue's divine sense once again passed directly through.
The world behind the door suddenly opened up.
It was an incredibly vast space, and in the center of that space floated a "heart" composed of countless blue light paths and silver crystals.
Countless data streams flow ceaselessly through its "blood vessels" like blood, and with each beat, the light in the entire "heart" alternates between bright and dark.
It is the main system of the Federation and the core of "Sky Eye".
Zhou Jue's gaze fell on the bottom of this "heart," where there was a small, inconspicuous red button.
Physical reset button.
Found it.
Zhou Jue opened his eyes. The hotel room was still dimly lit, with neon lights from Carava outside the window streaming through the gaps in the curtains.
[Host, you're back!]
"Um."
Zhou Jue sat up in bed and turned on the terminal on his wrist.
She opened an encrypted communication channel and connected directly with Sulia, who was far away on a garbage planet.
