Chapter 3150: Ignorant Petty Thieves

————Working on it, will be a bit late~

————

Inside the Laboratory.

Xia Duo swept the scrapped materials into the recycling port and rubbed his slightly aching brow. He had been staying in the Laboratory for the past two days; although his body was not particularly exhausted, the repeated failures of his experiments made his mind feel extremely fatigued.

"How could even the direction of the Mythallar Node not work? This shouldn't be!"

He could vaguely guess where the problem lay, but it was difficult to verify it for the time being, so he decided to relax first, perhaps there would be a good result later.

After cleaning up the traces of his experiment, Xia Duo left the Laboratory, but before he could reach the Xiu Xi Shi, he received a message sent by Helisita through the emergency channel——

Signs of an intrusion into the Computing Power Pool!

Hearing this news, Xia Duo immediately perked up. Ever since the Alliance, under the guidance of Kalishi, captured three or four living Psionic Mages (who died after interrogation), there had been no news of those intruders.

And now that the Computing Power Pool was found to be intruded upon again, it meant that those intruders had not chosen to give up because of one failed operation; they actually dared to come again!

Although that might bring fewer losses, in order to catch a useful live captive, even a slightly smaller loss was worth it. He would definitely be able to lock onto Kalishi from the captured live captive; even if this loss were smaller, it would still be worth it.

That was the Meta-Thinking I shared through the Computing Pool Connector; the entire Computing Power Pool network was not calculated through the collaborative computing of the Meta-Thinking of individual users, which had several problems.

Because there was no Computing Power Pool Permission Level bonus this time, the Perception that could originally rely on the Computing Power Pool's collaborative mechanism to proceed passively now all required me to complete it actively.

The reason for doing so was not that Xia Duo wanted to help those intruders, but that he wanted to catch a few live captives himself. The few Psionic Mages captured under Kalishi's guidance previously, although some were indeed alive and even accepted interrogation.

……

It was indeed as Midi Nuo Ta said, the traffic of one Gateway appeared once, and a large amount of Meta-Thinking Level Information Stream spread outward from the local area network corresponding to that Gateway, affecting at least four or five local area networks corresponding to the Gateways.

After handling the Permission Level adjustment matters at the Gateway Control Center, Xia Duo prepared to investigate the newly appeared intruders. The process could refer to the last time, but this time he only needed to go through the first half——

Because there was no Computing Power Pool Permission Level bonus this time, the Perception that could originally rely on the Computing Power Pool's collaborative mechanism to proceed passively now all required me to complete it actively.

If measured by the number of users, that was at least seven or eight hundred people (Elves) who were affected!

"Then you go back first, don't let others see anything unusual!"

However, the first thing Xia Duo did after confirming this situation was to adjust the Permission Level of the Operations and Maintenance Group members responsible for monitoring the status of other National Sub-networks——

Compared to the losses that the people of the Northland might suffer after Kalishi's conspiracy succeeded, what were these little losses suffered by the Computing Power Pool now!

As for how to collaborate, that was the core secret of the Computing Power Pool.

But none of them could survive afterwards; could this be because the methods of the interrogation personnel on the Alliance side were too rough?

Midi Nuo Ta returned to his post, and Xia Duo did not go in again, but stayed at the Permission Level boundary inside and outside the Gateway Control Hall, and put on his own Computing Pool Connector.

Displaying the status of the National Sub-networks that they could see as normal, so that if there were any more intruders invading from other National Sub-networks, the Operations and Maintenance personnel would not know.

"There is also Alanmidinuo who is responsible for monitoring the status of the Keman Suo Fen Wang. He has a good relationship with him. After he reported this matter to me, he did not disclose it to anyone else."

Xia Duo was more willing to believe that those Psionic Mages were sent by Kalishi to provide false intelligence! So he wanted to catch a few live captives himself and interrogate them in his own way!

"Only Helisi? No other country's Sub-network?" Xia Duo asked again.

Listening to Midi Nuo Ta's report, Xia Duo was thoughtful, and he instructed the other party: "Do not disclose this matter to a second person for the time being, and you should also instruct A Lan Keman Suo on this side."

"Who else discovered this besides you?"

Within the scope of the Gateway Control Hall, his connector possessed a higher Permission Level, and only within the scope of the Gateway Control Hall could he control the Computing Power Pool.

Therefore, there was no need to immediately make public the news that he had discovered intruders again; it would not be too late to make it public after catching the people.

Returning to his office, Xia Duo found a connector that a Computing Power Pool supplier had kept on file that could access the Helisi Fen Wang. This was the most common ear-clip style for Elves. He put the ear clip on his ear and then activated the connector.

Xia Duo was actually more like an intruder now, rather than a normal user. His behavior could indeed be counted as an "intrusion," but he was not malicious; he wanted to catch the truly malicious intruders.

After confirming the connection and obtaining the Permission Level, he first confirmed the situation reported by Helisita—by checking the status of each Gateway of the Helisi Fen Wang to determine.

With the Perception link, in his Perception, he seemed to have arrived at a mysterious space filled with flowing light and colors, where countless information streams were transmitted and interacted within this space, and he himself also provided a stable information stream.

Xia Duo immediately rushed to the Gateway Control Hall of the Research Center, but he did not make a big scene; instead, he called Helisita out alone and asked:

"Yes."

That was also the part of the Computing Power Pool confrontation.

He was prepared to wait until he located the other party's true body before closing the net. Before that, no matter what actions the other party took, he would not react.

……

As for the other two people in the know—Midi Nuo Ta and A Lan Keman Suo, he still trusted the latter relatively more, otherwise he would not have let the other party serve as the person in charge of the Computing Power Pool Operations and Maintenance Group.

"Yes, for the time being, traces of suspected intrusion have only been found in Helisi, which is similar to the characteristics of the last Psionic Mage intrusion; they are all Meta-Thinking Level Information Streams that are not in the plan."

If he directly caught the accomplices of the intruders hiding in the Alliance Headquarters and interrogated them, it would be the same, and even more effortless!

As for A Lan Keman Suo, Xia Duo did not guard against him strictly; he was even looking forward to this guy being an accomplice of the intruders!

That way, there would be no need to think of such a method to go outside to catch intruders. After all, this time the intruders chose the Helisi Fen Wang again. Xia Duo had "committed a crime" there not long ago, and he was still somewhat resistant to appearing there again.
