Chapter 21 NO.0015: The aftermath of the visit

Pluto Submersible Headquarters, Tartarus.

Offensive Security Defense Coordination Center, Cerberus.

The blood-red warning light was still flashing, and the piercing whistle sounded in everyone's ears.

Countless chaos filled the entire control room. Cerberus, which was usually as dead as a graveyard, was now like a noisy vegetable market.

The expensive fourth-generation collaborative neural work terminal is enough for the electronic warfare masters present to share real-time combat intelligence in units of G per second, but currently they are still using it at a speed of about 5 bits per second, under the interference of piercing sirens.

The vocal cords communicate with the eardrum.

This can't be entirely their fault.

thought the director of Cerberus.

No matter how many adjustments and transformations have been made, as long as you are still human in nature, the priority of emotional catharsis is higher than work efficiency. At this point, the collaborative neural work terminal can never convey emotions through data - it has to rely on roaring.

OK.

However, those sporadic words reached his ears, constantly reminding him of his own incompetence and making his emotions urgently need to be vented.

"The offensive protective walls from 2 to 17 have completely failed. What the hell is that..."

"27% of the equipment in the intelligent control factory in the Luxor resettlement area reported operating errors..."

"The Return Visit Reception Center received one thousand nine hundred and nineteen complaints about auxiliary anti-gravity engine failures."

"The three tactical teams lurking in Zero Sum City were exposed due to the loss of information protection, and are discussing evacuation matters with the Intelligence Department..."

"Public opinion control is about to expire. Apply for three base puppets to strengthen public opinion control..."

"Juno Financial has sent a red letter asking whether to activate the Golden Apple Agreement and temporarily freeze the stampede escape of stock market funds?"

…

Because of the inexplicable rise and departure of an unknown entity deep in the Abyss Dark Web, the entire Pluto Deep Diving Company is now in chaos like hot pot soup before leaving a party.

The company's firewall, which has been reinforced for decades, is impregnable. If it is attacked from the outside, even a dozen "wizard" level hackers cannot shake it.

However, as for the unknown being from the super abyss, he simply swam by and shattered it like weathered silk. If it weren't for the fact that the other party had no interest in the company's internal affairs, he would have no doubt that he would

On his own, he can completely destroy the company's intranet.

All damage to corporate intranets today is caused by firewall holes opened by other hostile companies or individuals.

But the question is, what exactly is that thing?

An unknown existence that usually lives in the abyss, dark web, and super-abyss zone, what kind of madness caused it to surface?

Taking a deep breath, Cerberus' supervisor suppressed his anger and said to the busy subordinates in the audience:

"Have you found the reason for the unknown existence's rise?"

His voice silenced everyone in the audience at the same time, leaving only the sound of the siren echoing in the control room.

No one spoke.

This means that no one knows it, and maybe no one even tries to figure it out.

What kind of idiots are these?

he thought.

"Then stop all the trivial things you are doing and go find out for me the reason why the unknown existence suddenly surfaced!"

he shouted sharply.

These short-sighted idiots...

Business, stock market, industry, public opinion...these are just trivial components in a company's operations. At most, they are related to the future development of the company. But as long as the company itself remains standing, no matter how big the losses are in these aspects, they will ultimately be

They are just things that can be regained by spending time and energy.

But that unknown entity from the ultra-abyssal layer can destroy the company's firewall as if it were a game just by floating near the α-level deep-diving interface held by Pluto. This is the real matter of life and death for the company.

.

This time the other party only missed them and opened a big hole in the firewall. What about the next time? What about the next time?

If you can't find out the reason for the other party's rise and find out the other party's purpose, then you can't formulate corresponding countermeasures and you can't think of ways to avoid it.

Leaving aside other losses, the company's board of directors will definitely take action on this matter.

he thought.

And when he thought of facing those inhuman monsters on the company's board of directors, he felt as if his heart was tightly grasped by a cold hand...

"Director, I found a clue."

A young man with little memory of himself strode up to the podium.

The back of his head seemed to be tied with dreadlocks, with a large number of data cables tied around it.

"explain."

"1.3 seconds before the unknown being visited, that is, at exactly 19:40, the company's No. 3 deep submersible warehouse No. 6 to No. 10 carried out deep dive salvage in the KZ quadrant. This is related to the unknown

The area where there is floating is consistent - in fact, this floating has caused all subnets No. 6 to No. 10 to lose contact. "

The young man said calmly.

"Do you suspect that this deep dive salvage alerted the unknown being from the super abyssal layer?"

Cerberus' supervisor asked.

The other party didn't answer.

So, he continued to ask:

"What was the depth of that deep dive salvage?"

"Photosynthetic Zone, Depth 2."

The other party replied.

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

For the first time tonight, he couldn't hold himself back and cursed loudly.

"You want to say that a deep dive salvage involving only depth 2 can alarm monsters from the super abyssal layer?"

There are more than 20 different standards around the world for classifying the depth of the Abyss Dark Web.

The most widely used among them is the general standard established by the Order of Olympus in the first year of the New Era - named after the levels of the ocean, which are divided into five major depths from shallow to deep: photosynthesis zone, weak light zone,

Abyssal zone, abyssal zone, superabalthyal zone.

Depths 1-3 are all located in the photosynthesis zone. If the abyss dark web is compared to the ocean, then salvage in the depth 2 area is equivalent to happily fishing in a shallow sea on a sampan boat.

And this person's previous words seemed to be saying that 1.3 seconds after they dropped the fishhook, a Godzilla came up with the bait in his mouth.

"I didn't make any conclusions, I just sorted out the clues I found that seemed to be related."

In the face of his own anger, which made him laugh, the man still remained calm and answered very logically.

"With a time difference of 1.3 seconds and the fact that they are both in the KZ quadrant, I found these two clues that are suspected to be connected. Whether it is rational inference or personal intuition, I don't think it is because of this reason, but I think it is necessary to report to you

,above."

After the man finished speaking, he bowed slightly and then backed away.

"Just give me a moment."

He looked at the young man and scanned his badge.

Lu Yuan, an intern employee from the Talent Incubation Center of the Nord Resettlement Area, is a standout in the twelfth phase of the talent training program.

Being able to work at the Tartarus headquarters, whose location coordinates are top-secret, during the internship period is a testament to its future potential.

"Who is the supervisor in charge of Deep Diving Chamber No. 3?"

"Ye Qian."

Lu Yuan replied immediately.

"Ye Qian?"

He frowned and recalled the name.

Is that the trash who was in charge of the development plan in the Nord resettlement area, but was disgraced by the local civil armed organization?

"Then go and call him over."

he said.

"learn."

The intern named Lu Yuan accepted the order without any humility, then trotted and disappeared outside the porch.

I hope this can be regarded as a clue that can be used to deal with the board of directors' subsequent inquiries...

thought the director of Cerberus.

And the next second, the scene in front of him shattered like a broken mirror.

His world fell into a darkness covered with blood-red lines.

Coming...

Signs of fear from the ancient reptilian brain crawled up his spine.

People from the board of directors came to see him.

Restraining the trembling of his lips, he raised his head.

Two big blood-red characters appeared in the sky.
