As he spoke, Jiang Zhou raised his head slightly, and the infinitely vast online world extended in his eyes.
Even if it only occupies 4% of the entire Internet, the vastness of the World Wide Web is beyond human intelligence to fully comprehend. Countless amounts of information rush between silicon and synapses, converging into a never-ending world of intelligence.
And in this world, there are some shocking "behemoths".
Those are the gods who live on top of Mount Olympus.
Those gods who exist in the form of companies on the World Wide Web, the shadows cast by their huge intranets are enough to cover the sky; and the tentacles of their respective "powers" are like curling around the bones and The nerve fibers between muscles are delicate and ubiquitous.
The blessings of "Vista Intelligent Control" flow to every family that activates its service program.
The forging hammer of "Vulcan Heavy Industry" hits the control circuit of every super-giant project.
The magic of "Venus Media" reverberates in every soul captured by the simulacra landscape.
The carriages of "Neptune Transportation" are running on every road connecting human strongholds.
…
Through this, they control the entire human world and define the lifestyle of hundreds of millions of people.
Through this, they greedily swallowed up massive amounts of information, and then issued instructions endlessly, slowly changing the entire World Wide Web in the direction they were satisfied with.
Using Hecate's blessing, Jiang Zhou could clearly see the invisible thread extending from the cyber assassin in front of him - it was secretly connected to a certain data tributary, and together with other tributaries, it converged into something like a big river. In the general torrent of information...
Eventually, the assassin became connected to the dark realm hanging high in the sky, which symbolized the existence of "Pluto's Deep".
Although Jiang Zhou had made such speculation before, it was only now that he finally confirmed that this was an assassination operation originating from Pluto's deep dive.
Of course, there are many factions within the company, and as for who gave the order... The possibility of Perse Fanny directing and acting on her own is very small, and if Cerberus takes action, then Jiang Zhou is absolutely impossible Stop this assassination operation.
In this way, Jiang Zhou knew that there was only one such person who was concerned about various underground matters in the Nord resettlement area, but was currently unable to mobilize too many resources to meet his own needs.
"Disposal plan?"
The assassin looked at the guy who looked up at the sky for some reason and couldn't help but asked in confusion.
Is the other party talking about his own disposal plan?
"If you are willing to reveal more information about this assassination operation - especially about what your boss Ye Qian is planning to do, I can consider letting you live... Of course, after that, You must also pass on a piece of information about the inside of Tartarus to me after a while."
Jiang Zhou expressed his solution.
As for this, the assassin was stunned.
First, the other party directly said the name of his boss... Just seeing that he came from Pluto Deep Dive and was in Tartarus was enough to explode. And the other party actually told who his boss was so casually? !
Who is the other party? Just to protect a bar owner, would there be such a level of bodyguards?
However, on the other hand, the conditions proposed by the other party made him want to laugh.
Considering giving yourself a lifeline?
"You really dare to say that..."
Looking at the color-blocked figure in the mist, he couldn't help but smile sarcastically.
Could it be that this person is conceited about his hacking skills and has lost his mind?
"Now that you know I'm in Tartarus, you actually think you can take my life and use it as a threat?"
The assassin said so.
Yes, the opponent's power is indeed far greater than his own. In a hacker battle, he is far from being his opponent's opponent.
But right now, his physical body is inside Tartarus. No matter how powerful the opponent is, even if he is as powerful as a mortal, or as powerful as a "wizard"...how can he break through the Tartarus firewall and control the machines around him to kill him with his own strength?
The answer is no.
The firewall of a super enterprise can only be breached by another super enterprise, or by a powerful entity deep in the abyss of the dark web.
Of course, it is terrifying enough for the other party to see through his identity - the assassination failed and the identity of the company and even the company's faction was exposed. If he returns to the basic reality, he will definitely be severely punished.
It is even possible to get fucked to the end and be sent from Tartarus to East Africa to work as a security guard at the gate.
But under the impregnable protection of the Tartarus Firewall, the opponent has no ability to threaten itself with its life.
"I suggest you think about it carefully and don't think I'm joking."
Regarding the other party's mocking tone, Jiang Zhou just reminded him like this.
And his words only attracted another round of ridicule.
You can't do it.
The man said so.
Generally speaking, on the World Wide Web, there are only three ways for hackers to kill people across network cables:
One is to control the intelligent machines around the opponent and stage a real-life version of Death coming to kill the opponent.
The second is to determine the coordinates of the opponent in basic reality, and then use various offline methods to physically kill them.
The third is to trap the other party's consciousness in cyberspace and deactivate the button to log out automatically until the other party's body dies due to real-life reasons.
The first two are impossible to do because he is under the protection of the company's firewall. As for the third method, even if you cannot log out voluntarily, after noticing the problem, the security officers in the war room will use external force to force you to log out.
Although this will cause a certain amount of mental shock, it can only be solved by a few fine-tuning of emotions.
"You can lock me here, or even torture me mentally. But please believe that I have received professional training, and in the end you will not be able to ask anything."
Thinking of this, the assassin said this.
In this round, they were at best tied: they knew each other's appearance and abilities, while the other party knew their origins.
In the long run, the other party actually lost - after all, such a powerful hacker exposed his existence and potential in front of the company so casually. With the size of the company, they will have plenty of time and opportunities to crush him to death in the future.
"So are you sure you don't accept my offer?"
Jiang Zhou confirmed this for the last time.
For things like planting hidden stakes, unless one is really willing, a person can find countless ways to exploit loopholes.
Therefore, if the other party really doesn't want to live, Jiang Zhou will not force him.
"Stop bluffing. Do you really think you can break the firewall of Tartarus?"
Regarding his last chance, the other party replied like this.
"I see……"
Jiang Zhou nodded.
Then, in the cyber assassin's consciousness, a vague black dog emerged from the mist, and then roared and pounced on him.
Instinctively, he raised his hand to resist, but in the blink of an eye, everything disappeared.
The black dog, the mist, the color-blocked humanoid... only a three-way intersection is still there.
Is that person gone?
The assassin thought.
After saying so many harsh words, he actually ran away in the end. Now he is probably going for plastic surgery to hide his identity again, right?
He sneered, checked again that there was no ambush at the intersection, and followed the established path all the way up.
After passing the identity verification, he passed through the firewall of Tartarus, and soon his consciousness returned to his physical body.
He knew clearly that he was in Tartarus, but he still wasted so much time with himself. Not only did he get no benefit at all, but he also exposed a lot of information... That hacker was so stupid.
Thinking like this, the resurrected cyber assassin opened his eyes.
Then he opened his mouth and let out a silent scream.
At this moment, he was in a network combat warehouse filled with coolant.
Outside the warehouse, he saw the color-blocked humanoid staring at him through the tempered glass of the combat warehouse.
The staff members walking around turned a blind eye to this weird colored humanoid, as if only they could see it.
The opponent raised the oxygen concentration in the combat chamber to the highest level, close to pure oxygen - that was the concentration needed for some adjusters, but for oneself, it was enough to cause death in just a few minutes.
"If you die directly in hell, you'll feel at home, right?"
The man said so.
