Chapter 107 You Come and I
Whether to answer or not a call request from an unknown source is a problem.
This could be a trap. Once connected, it might help the other party complete the final stage of the invasion and expose all of your secrets to the other party.
But Lin Guantang only hesitated for a few seconds before choosing to accept it.
It's okay for ordinary things, but when it comes to urgent matters, he will never think of backing down.
However, there are still some preparations to be made -
Lin Guantang fully opened the system permissions. After a flash of light and shadow, the system itself appeared on all screens. Four pairs of snow-white wings were fully spread out, and the gem-like eyes were also fully opened, emitting a golden glow.
Shrouded in snow-white and golden light, as if illuminated by holy light, at this moment, one no longer feels uncomfortable with these densely packed eyes, but instead feels an unprecedented sense of peace.
There was another flash of light and shadow, the system itself disappeared, and several display screens started to operate in a new way simultaneously.
The rapidly switching real-life scenes, the rapidly running code sequences, and the simulated, ahead-of-budget landing points...
All the images displayed on the screen turned into dazzling light and shadow, reflected in Lin Guantang's ice-blue eyes.
——He was also very curious about what the upgraded system could achieve.
In the silence, a specially processed distorted tone came:
"Student Lingchen, your reputation is well-deserved. You react faster than I thought."
Lin Guantang spoke, his voice also transmitted through the system's mutation encryption:
"Since you've come to visit me, why don't you introduce yourself first?"
After a moment of silence, the other party quickly met Lin Guantang's expectations:
"Violet, are you satisfied?"
Violet? Isn't that the name of the flower?
Lin Guantang retorted calmly:
"That's not your real name."
The person calling herself "Violet" smiled, unfazed by his denial, and readily admitted it was just a casual code name.
"It's a matter of reciprocity, Lingchen. If you're willing to tell me your real name, I wouldn't mind telling you mine either. I can even give you my companion's real name as a buy-one-get-one-free deal."
There are companions around?
He was definitely not talking about the group of people who had been subdued. By arranging two lines, the strength of the people he could call companions should not be underestimated.
Fortunately, my companions are not ordinary people.
"When it comes to introducing yourself, shouldn't the person who initiates the process be the first to speak?"
Lin Guantang looked at several screens showing different images and running at a rapid speed. It was not only the system that was calculating rapidly to find the opponent's location, but as the owner of the system, Lin Guantang also had to choose a suitable ambush location from the simulation points found by the system.
He was distracted so much that his tone became a little slow:
"Or, let's reciprocate. I'm here to invigilate the exam, so shouldn't you also explain your purpose for disrupting the final exam?"
Violet said, "Hmm?" and continued with a smile:
"Why don't you take a guess yourself?"
If someone overheard their conversation, they would think they were just chatting casually about whether they had eaten or slept.
"I suppose your purpose is—"
Lin Guantang watched the rapidly changing scene, which finally stopped at an open area.
As the target vehicle drove in as expected, he curled his lips and slowly said the second half of his sentence:
"I want to test the system's anti-tracking capabilities."
As the words fell, a bullet flew through the sky at high speed, piercing the sky above the noisy street, and then accurately blew up the tire of the car.
If I hadn't braked in time, the car would have flipped over.
But the situation wasn't much better. The car that was trying to escape had been destroyed by a bullet. Did the people inside the car still expect to escape the sniper range on foot?
But since this was the chosen escape route, any obstacles along the way must have been planned in advance, including high-altitude sniper points, which had already been avoided or occupied.
unless--
The people in the car turned their heads suddenly and looked towards a tall building somewhere outside the ordinary sniper range.
Not everyone can hit the target from such a long distance.
Huo Shizhen had already been confirmed to be not here, so the person responsible for the shooting mission was——
"Yin Zhiyou!"
But why is Yin Zhiyou here? !
Even though I called out the name, the surprise in my heart did not diminish in the slightest.
What shocked people was not only Yin Zhiyou's divinely-assisted sniping ability, but also how he suddenly ambush here from the examination room a thousand meters away.
Was it because he followed the arrangements of "Lingchen" and ran here to ambush in advance, or was it the result of discussion?
What is Lingchen's true identity...
Amidst the sparks of calcium carbide, the people in the car were still rapidly thinking about the connection as they kicked open the door and rolled out.
The tone, which had already been specially processed, suddenly became high-pitched, making it even more jarringly distorted. Lin Guantang frowned, but was also surprised by the name the other party called out:
He switched the channel he was talking to Yin Zhiyou on:
"Can this recognize you?"
"Are you jealous of my attention? Wee."
Yin Zhiyou's teasing voice came from the headset:
"As long as you leave a deep enough impression on the other person, they will remember you forever and think of you first in countless similar situations. After today, I believe you will also enjoy this privilege."
This kind of preferential treatment is completely unnecessary.
Lin Guantang chuckled in his heart. He was completely immune to Yin Zhiyou's hopeless ability to express himself in words. Looking at the executive department personnel who were about to run to the car to check, he immediately stopped their actions.
"Don't go!"
A group of people barely stopped, not understanding why they should stop when the spoils were right in front of them.
The next second, they understood why.
Thick fog was seen coming out of the vehicle, followed by a violent explosion.
The entire car was burning and exploded. Amidst the flames rising into the sky, the thick fog drifted even further, making it impossible for people to open their eyes. As for Lin Guantang and Yin Zhiyou, who were not at the scene, their sight was also shrouded in smoke, and they could not see their figures clearly.
"I'm afraid he has taken the opportunity to escape."
Lin Guantang stared at the blazing flames and the deliberately thick fog on the screen, then saw the system display:
[Warning: This path monitoring has experienced an unrecoverable fault. It is determined that the physical line has been damaged...]
Then he sighed.
I understand that everything is probably over for today.
A bullet flew through the air, barely splashing blood in the thick fog, but it was better than nothing.
"What a pity."
After Yin Zhiyou said this in response to Lin Guantang, he began to pack up his things without even looking at the accident site.
Only Lin Guantang was still looking at the smoking scene, his heart still beating rapidly.
Although he anticipated the other party's ruthless and brutal methods, he was still terrified by the scene that was actually happening before his eyes.
This route was the perfect escape route that he and Yin Zhiyou had simulated in advance through the system, and the destination reached by the system's counter-tracking was an abandoned building not far away.
The person in charge of collecting the items did not go directly into the house. Instead, they sent out a simulated robot that they had brought with them. The terminal in the house was still communicating.
This is a transit station.
And it’s a transit station where you don’t have to worry about being tracked down, because—
"There's a bomb, the countdown has begun! Run!"
A minute later, a violent explosion mixed with flames shot up into the sky, completely turning the already abandoned building into ruins.
The place where the car was hit could be said to be the location with the least casualties calculated in advance, but as for this building, it is fortunate that no one lives there, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
But the actual result is always good, at least it seems that they have won a complete victory.
All of this was planned and run by "Late Night", and as a result, all the honors and praise naturally belonged to him.
Countless words of praise came from the earphones and the system...
Lin Guantang was not as excited as others to celebrate this "complete victory". He just stared at the screen with an expressionless face.
To be precise, he was staring at the message on the screen in a daze.
Violet cut off the call, blocked the system's anti-tracking, and finally, before completely disappearing, she did not forget to send a message.
【Looking forward to seeing you next time.】
[That's all for now. Chasing too closely will only make people annoying, Ling Ling.]
Is it a complete victory?
It always feels like a complete failure.
Because in the end the most important person behind the scenes escaped, and he easily sent a teasing closing remark - after the smoke cleared, someone went to check the vehicle, and only a burnt vehicle was left, and no one was burned to death inside.
As for the moment, Lin Guantang looked at the other party's warning greeting on the screen, and was silent for a long time before he lightly clicked his tongue and smiled with a hint of ease.
What does it mean to be disliked for pursuing too closely? It was clearly me who took the initiative to come over and provoke him, but he treated me with great care and couldn't resist. Perhaps -
It's not just me who feels frustrated and disappointed.
As the system, running at full speed, gradually shut down various functions, Lin Guantang deleted the other party's message without any regrets, even a little bored, and just responded in his heart -
See you next time——
If there is a chance to meet again——
I will really chase you down until there is no escape, Violet.
***
Just as Lin Guantang thought, he was not the only one who felt terrified.
When the system showed 75% of the intrusion, the camera deliberately left in the room recorded the impact of someone breaking in and issued a warning.
The moment someone breaks in, he sends out a pre-edited message and decisively disconnects all connected devices.
He escaped from the car by taking advantage of the explosion and thick smoke, quickly changed his clothes and other external decorations, changed cars several times, and sped away on the highway away from this place. He only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he would not be tracked anymore.
When I look back at the records, I still can't help but say with lingering fear:
"He's so relentless in his pursuit. He's truly a tougher opponent than Huo Shizhen."
Huo Shizhen was carrying out a mission, and once he completed it, it was over. If you didn't provoke him or try to escape, for example, in today's incident, if Huo Shizhen was present, he probably wouldn't have answered his calls or listened to his nonsense from the beginning, and would have just caught those unlucky guys in the examination room and that would have been the end of it.
But this "Lingchen" was determined to get to the bottom of the matter, and his reaction speed was too fast, and the number of people he could mobilize was far more extensive than he had imagined.
If we hadn't escaped in time, a fierce battle would have been inevitable.
And the system's breath - without the system's assistance, it would be impossible to find it so quickly.
It just seems that the system's computing speed is far more powerful than he imagined.
The mutual invasion between the systems seemed to be evenly matched. Perhaps one could barely say that one's own system was slightly superior. After all, the other party's invasion was intercepted after 75% of it, while one's own system was discovered only after invading 80% of the process.
But the anti-tracking is only the military academy subsystem and the secondary system affiliated with Lingchen. If it can achieve such a level, then the system of the Central Military Academy, the system with full authority in the hands of Huo Shizhen... how huge must it be?
The only thing to be thankful for is that the system he brought with him was not a complete one, but just a simplified version. If the original system really faced off against the original system, he would not necessarily be at a disadvantage.
But after this incident, I can no longer confidently agree with others that the Central Military Academy's system is just a facade.
His companion, driving the car, increased the speed to maximum gear and sped past like a meteor against the backdrop of the rapidly receding trees. Hearing his sigh, he sneered undisguisedly:
"You should think about how you're going to face the punishment when you return after sending so many people to the Central Military Academy for nothing. I listened to you and didn't take action, so don't ask me to share the punishment for you."
"It's so disheartening to hear such words."
Violet let out a mock sigh, but her outward expression didn't show much loss.
"They're just a bunch of insignificant zombies. Besides, we've already granted them the eternal freedom of their souls that we promised them. The loss of their bodies is more than enough to be offset by the information we've gained. Besides, the original purpose has already been achieved, hasn't it?"
Violet bandaged the arm that was shot with a bandage, then reached out and tapped the three words "Ge Xihe" displayed on the screen, raised the corner of her mouth, and then erased the relevant words.
The words "Lingchen" and "Hexi" were displayed on the terminal. Like the branches of a tree, countless keywords and images extended from these two words, and soon filled the entire screen.
The point is what happened today.
Time was too short for Violet to tell whether Yin Zhiyou, Huo Shizhen and others were directing the matter from behind, or whether they were cooperating with Ling Chen, or whether the plan was entirely formulated by Ling Chen.
The first two are easy to deal with, but if it's the latter, you have to be overly vigilant -
If Ling Chen could really get Yin Zhiyou to listen to his arrangements, who knows if he could convince Huo Shizhen to cooperate with him.
He is also able to coordinate the entire Central Military Academy's students and respond to emergencies in a timely manner.
The most important thing is to pursue the enemy relentlessly after biting him, without giving up until the end, and the sharpness is too glaring.
Therefore, we must never allow it to exist and continue to develop.
From the feeling when the name "Lingchen" was first mentioned to the actual experience of meeting him in person today, he is convinced that the growth rate of "Lingchen" can be called amazing.
Today's relentless pursuit reminded him of the silver-haired devil many years ago who had not yet been adopted by the Huo family to become a noble young master.
That was also a merciless extermination—
The difference is that the Silver-haired Demon King had already reached the highest level in every aspect when he first appeared, but today's "Late Night" has gradually grown from a humble beginning -
No, it should be said that it is growing rapidly.
Moreover, it is still unknown whether the Silver-haired Demon King was good or evil at the beginning. Even to this day, some people are still arguing about whether his transformation into Young Master Huo was "for the purpose of eradicating evil from the beginning", or "he awakened and decided to abandon evil and promote good" or "he found an open identity to cover up his sinful identity".
You must know that in the dark world, there are still many spies of the Silver-haired Devil, and even many supporters.
However, the position of "Lingchen" at present is clearly on the side of light.
Then comes——
Putting aside those uncertain positions, Huo Shizhen is already a dormant trapped beast, or you could say he has entered retirement state early. As long as he doesn't seek death by running to the imperial capital to provoke, or does something too extreme to be marked by the military academy, there is actually no need to worry too much about Huo Shizhen's existence.
Even if he was marked by the military academy, if he surrendered obediently, Huo Shizhen would only pretend to complete the mission itself and would not do any unnecessary matters outside the mission - it was rare to find a fool like Gula who insisted on luring Huo Shizhen to his lair.
But "early morning" is different.
Judging from his ruthless pursuit and blocking today, he really intended to follow a line and pull out all the roots of the vine in one go.
If he were allowed to continue to grow freely, the delicate balance between light and darkness that had been maintained for a long time might really be broken by his unplanned existence and tilted in a direction that was not good for their side.
so--
Violet looked at the words "early morning" on the screen and murmured to herself with regret:
"Although I admire you very much and want to know what you will eventually grow into, you have to die, but——"
"I will secure the mission to kill you and arrange a wonderful death for you. As for now, just pray as much as you can, hoping that day will come later."
