It’s a mystery how the attacker managed to lock onto this massive data barrier from the empty cyberspace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red chains spread in the cyberspace’s background noise, following the barely detectable electromagnetic signal from the exposed data barrier, and completely pulling out the device!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intense electromagnetic oscillation caused the entire cyberspace to shake, and some hackers using Dog Town’s power grid immediately detected a sudden rise in their hardware’s temperature; but when they panicked and tried to disconnect and go offline, they found themselves locked in cyberspace!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The electric current instantaneously breached their security devices, turning them into an integral part of this overwhelming attack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As more and more hackers on the line were controlled, the chains continued to infect the data barrier, dragging it completely out of the void:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first to be exposed was the firewall, which, once seized, could no longer move or change. It trembled like a machine caught out, shaking repeatedly until it finally collapsed...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the Voodoo Gang would run away watching this scene...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This type of overpowering attack and control was simply irresistible, and the attackers didn’t even know where it was coming from; it seemed to materialize out of thin air!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And quickly, the black and red chains locked onto an external circuit connected to the data barrier—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Charging all the way to V’s brain-computer interface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lille swiftly connected the electrode in his hand, completely severing the circuit that might overheat from hacker overclocking and damage the brain, and immediately initiated cranial overclocking. The black and red data chains appeared before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stan commenced full power, and even though cyberspace measures time far shorter than reality, everything still slowed down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black and red data routes were clearly AI-level attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being a mysterious and powerful attack to ordinary people, he saw through the problem at a glance: it was precisely the use of AI-style distributed computing that had made it possible to catch that slight signal from the nearly completely concealed electromagnetic leakage of Luxor Manor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But AI can’t solve all problems; it couldn’t possibly invade a company’s confidential facilities so effortlessly, or else the world would already belong to AI.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Munemasa: The adversary knows the communication protocols used by those facilities, or else even with AI, it wouldn’t likely invade so smoothly.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Munemasa: However... this guy looks tough, but actually has quite apparent computational redundancy. Rather than AI, it’s more like a hacker equipped with AI. You might not have seen this kind of hacker, but I’ve seen plenty.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Munemasa: Among those hackers who use AI, this person can only be considered a beginner: Her AI is highly invasive, but the coordination is not very good, she’s holding back the AI.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Munemasa: However, the adversary’s moves are very covert. If you want to counter-invade, you’ll have to switch the communication tower to signal collection mode first, then sweep for data using the software I provide.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: Network surveillance taught me a program for wide-area searches.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had used such a program on the internet of Marvel World, burning Hydra’s network and directly kicking Dr. Zola offline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Munemasa immediately stopped him from proceeding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Munemasa: That kind of program will completely expose you in cyberspace, and it is prone to provoke unnecessary retaliations, or unnecessary attacks:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You should know that the programs provided by the network surveillance are decades-old technology. Nowadays, if you use them without the Black Wall loaded on signal towers, there’s a high chance that some cunning dangerous entities will capture and invade, which is why the network surveillance has forbidden the use of civilian channels without the Black Wall.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Lille: Give me a plan, and make it quick.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Munemasa: I’m giving you a plan.

As one program after another was written into memory and permissions were opened up to Munemasa, the sword seemed to charge, growing brighter, lit up section by section—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Attack Program Group Loaded: Arsonist (Munemasa)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Description: Causes a surge in power supply, making the device heat up or even burn; a unique artisan AI will cause a more severe fire]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Attack Program Group Loaded: Hounds of Hell (Munemasa)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Description: Tracks hackers and implements sustained attacks on special signal sources; a unique artisan AI will persistently lock onto enemy devices, and even if the hacker disconnects immediately, a variant Hounds of Hell attack will be triggered, while tracking all related devices to carry out the attacks]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Attack Program Group Loaded: Shock]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Description: Attacks the nervous system, directly causing a short-term reduction in hacker responsiveness]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Attack Program Group Loaded...]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All programs were fully loaded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hum—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The covert oscillation echoed in the data space, and all trembling stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unavoidable hackers only felt as if time had stopped as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their memories were completely blocked, thoughts and computational speed slow as turtles crawling, their brains going from intense oscillation and panic to a sluggish, demented state incapable of thought...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were actually unaware that their thinking had slowed down.
