Chapter 250: Fallen

While Haizhu was busy crazily, Frank also discovered that something was wrong. He deliberately slowed down his speaking speed while increasing his hand movements, attracting others' attention for the psychic agents.

A few minutes later, Haizhu wiped the sweat from his forehead, "Parsed a part of it. It's not a simple DOS-type attack. The information they sent actually has actual meaning!"

"They? Who do you mean? Can you lock their location?" Zishu lowered his voice and continued to ask.

"I don't know. Judging from the results diverted so far, this should be two groups of people. They are also attacking each other, even more fiercely than attacking us. And one part of them sent an encoded font library. I established a virtual test platform and translated some information. However, these words all have a unified symbol behind them, which seems to be a catchphrase." Haizhu felt a little strange.

"A catchphrase used in text expression? That's not a catchphrase, that's obsessive-compulsive disorder." Zishu also felt a little puzzled, just happening to see Joel sitting at the back of the meeting yawning. "Wait a moment, I'll find someone who knows the ropes to take a look."

A few minutes later, Joel was pulled over by Zishu. After seeing the characters on Haizhu's screen, his expression changed immediately.

"Partygoers!" Joel squeezed his head next to Haizhu, "This is the first time I've seen so many messages from Partygoers. What happened?"

"What are Partygoers? Are they all Partygoers?" Haizhu followed up and asked.

"No, there are also Partypoopers. They are all entities with high intelligence, but their attitude toward humans is very polarized. Partygoers will try every means to kill and assimilate wanderers, while Partypoopers are willing to provide help to all wanderers who hold kindness."

Joel pointed to the translated words on the computer screen, "Partygoers' words generally follow with = ) as a smile at the end, while Partypoopers' words generally follow with..."

Joel looked at the greeting words on the screen and tapped the desktop with his finger, "In my experience, these on the left should be messages sent by real Partypoopers. However, Partygoers have actually started to try to disguise themselves as their mortal enemies. This situation is the first time it has appeared."

"First, you must strengthen your defense against Partygoers. After you establish a unified agency, they will launch various kinds of attacks on you crazily. To be honest, with your strength, it is difficult to resist..."

Partygoers seemed to have discovered that simple disguise had no meaning and abandoned that behavior. The subsequent messages were full of aggression toward Partypoopers.

"Second, we suggest that you re-evaluate any environment you are in. After unification, you will have more powerful perception capabilities, but this is not entirely a good thing. The pollution everywhere in the air will take your lives at any time..."

"Finally, @#￥#@￥... what you said makes me feel sick. We are preparing to turn your heads into cakes. Prepare to welcome the second Pleasure War! = )"

Zishu pointed to a paragraph with garbled codes, "This beginning looks like Partypoopers speaking, but the role seems to have changed halfway."

"That's right. Just from the perspective of information technology, Partygoers have an absolute advantage over Partypoopers." Haizhu nodded and said.

"We don't like war, but we are not afraid of war. If you want, then come. You didn't succeed the first time, and you won't this time..."

"You don't understand struggle, don't have a firm belief to insist. This is the reason for your fall. We won't try to save you again. Those who insult heroes deserve to die."

After Partypoopers' information was invaded, the two sides inexplicably set off a war of words, instead putting the matter of attacking the Backrooms Wanderer Destiny Community server aside.

"Haizhu, try to counter-invade, against both of them." Zishu ordered.

"Understood, simultaneous invasion starts..." Haizhu rubbed his hands and began to attack the servers of Partypoopers and Partygoers in reverse, seizing administrator authority.

"Why hit both?" Joel asked in a low voice.

"We can't distinguish who is telling the truth. In the case of having enough spare energy, the best way is to separate them, listen to both sides, and then let the facts verify it!" Zishu explained.

"Oh, optimistic. Having enough spare energy is thinking too much." Haizhu suddenly said, "The opponent's resistance is extremely fierce, and they seem to have their own high-level artificial intelligence programs, or similar control centers. In the case of one against two, I can only try to open the outermost defense layer, and the inner layer cannot be entered at all."

"What if you attack one side alone?" Zishu asked.

"It won't work either. The feedback of information when attacking is very strange. They have very advanced technology, but the use is very backward. To use an analogy, it's like ancient people using firearms as clubs, and they don't maintain them." Haizhu replied, "Their core has its own logic. Wanting to break and seize control is not something that can be done in a short time."

Haizhu said and looked up at Zishu, "Seriously, Captain, purely in terms of information technology, the feeling the opponent gives me is like two countries that have developed and perfected from zero, with their own set of systems and development paths and technical tendencies..."

Zishu pondered for a few seconds, "What stage has it reached now? Can you chat privately?"

"This is no problem, Captain. Chat privately about what?" Haizhu asked.

"This is the Earth civilization Backrooms exploration team, issuing a warning to you. Please do not try to attack the network built by our side and our allies. If you are here to congratulate, we welcome you. If you are here to make trouble, we will definitely pursue it to the end!"

While Zishu was speaking, Haizhu edited a piece of information according to the font library sent by the other side and chatted privately with Partypoopers and Partygoers at the same time.

"This is Partypoopers. We have no intention of having a conflict with you. If a misunderstanding arises, we apologize first. However, please also don't try to attack our core programs again. We are just kindly reminding you. Your behavior is too arrogant. This is wrong..."

Zishu looked at the replies from both sides and began to communicate, "I'm sorry, we can't distinguish between enemy and friend for the time being. In this case, what suggestions can you give us?"

"Never give up your beliefs and morals. Firm beliefs can pierce through stubborn stones and can also create miracles. They are the things we can finally hold in our hands in the dark reality. In addition, beware of darkness..."

Haizhu looked up, "They closed the private chat channel, but I can see from the clues that they have entered a state of war."

"So decisive?!" Zishu couldn't understand what the people on both sides were thinking.

And just looking at the suggestions they gave, it didn't seem like the kind of misleading full of malice. Both contained their own philosophies.

At this time, Frank's speech had ended, and the Wanderer Destiny Community was preparing for the closing speech. Zishu also reported everything that had just happened to Frank.

"Sir, what do you think we should do? Participate in their war, or..." Zishu looked at Frank and asked.

"Just from the information that can be seen now, I prefer Partypoopers. Accepting reality and drifting with the tide is not my strength." Frank said righteously.

"Me too. Reality is cruel, but no matter how cruel it is, there will always be people fighting for the future. M. E. G. is always on the way forward." Joel gave his stance.

"Do you mean we participate in Partypoopers' attack on Partygoers?" Zishu continued to ask.

"No, don't make a decision so quickly. Has all the information sent over been parsed? Wait until the parsing is completed before trying to contact them again." Frank thought for a while and said.

"I'm sorry." Joel suddenly said, "Wanderers have received too much help from Partypoopers. We cannot sit idly by. I will submit an agenda to the Wanderer Destiny Community to participate in this war and clear out Partygoers. This time, perhaps we cannot stand on the same position."

Frank looked at Joel and extended his hand, "This is not your fault, and we have no intention of interfering with your internal decisions. What I can guarantee at present is that this matter will not affect the friendship between our two sides, nor will it affect the assistance and trading plans we have decided."

Joel reached out and shook Frank's hand, "Thank you for your understanding. In addition, from my personal perspective, I suggest you don't believe Partygoers' words. To verify this information, countless people have made sacrifices."

"I know, thank you for the reminder." Frank nodded.

When Joel walked toward the meeting center, Frank looked at Zishu, "Establish contact with Partypoopers first, ask them what the situation of the Pleasure War and heroes is, and also, help me bring a word, whether any of them have seen Johnson and the others."

"What about Partygoers? And should we pre-set their contact level?" Zishu asked.

Frank thought for a while and decided to trust his allies a little bit, "The communication channel for Partygoers will be decided after all information is parsed and analyzed. As for the contact level... Partypoopers is set to 'not recommended to contact', and Partygoers is set to 'not suitable to contact'."

"Understood!"

"Also, report relevant information to me in time. I'm going to the Endless Corridor." Frank continued.

In the communication between Partypoopers and Partygoers, there was a word that both mentioned many times: reality.

This word had also been spoken by the Prophet of M. E. G. According to the Prophet's statement, only wanderers who have seen reality are qualified to compete for the title of M. E. G. Prophet.

In addition, Johnson's diary also mentioned similar words. Frank synthesized all this information and felt that the scene he saw when switching levels might be part of what they called "reality."

That night, the repetitive exploration of Level 1 officially began. Psychic agents divided into six people and took six small teams with maps surveyed by the Wanderer Destiny Community to spread out in all directions.

Level 1, according to the common saying of wanderers, is the relatively safest level and also the level with the highest exploration degree. It is precisely because of this that psychic agents chose to lead teams separately instead of setting off in a group.

The remaining psychic agents stayed in the camp, building a defense system, while Haizhu and technical personnel began to speed up the parsing of the information received by the server today.

This was a job that required a lot of time. It was impossible to produce results in a short time. In addition, the contact with Partypoopers had not yet been established.

It seemed to be to prevent Partygoers from taking the opportunity to invade, Partypoopers disconnected most network interfaces with the outside world, built an extremely exaggerated network firewall, and directly blocked almost all connection requests.

Haizhu tried many times but failed to talk to the other side. There was no way. Now he could only send a request for communication information to them every five minutes.

In addition, at Zishu's instruction and Frank's consent, Haizhu expanded the defense circle of the information technology battlefield a little bit, and included a part of the area of Partypoopers closer to the wanderer's living space into the defense network, which was considered to provide a little bit of help indirectly. ===== CHAPTER 251 =====
