Chapter 229: Church of the Maxwellist

The air was suddenly quiet, and the scene was very awkward.

"..."

"..."

"The wind is so noisy today."

"Yes, the moon is shining bright tonight."

The two big brothers of the programming class were simultaneously looking at each other. Zhang Jue covered his forehead, these they were pretending like it's not a big deal, but their eyes were subtle enough.

After a moment of embarrassment, Site Director Walnut asked the receptionist about their identities and learned that they were the Advisor Zhang and Dr. Simmons, who had been sent by headquarters for an assistance.

Site Director Walnut touched his head, which no longer had a few hairs, "Sorry, Advisor Zhang. I was so absorbed that I forgot about you guys." The Site Director is honest, someone at his age would forget one or two things.

Zhang Jue said, "It's okay, you are model for my generation because you're so intoxicated with your own work."

Simmons also said, "Site Director, your code is really awesome. Especially that recursive call, it couldn't be more subtle!"

Seeing that Simmons was a know-it-all, Site Director Walnut instantly came to life.

"Right, right, I think so too. But I have another line, take a look of this."

"It's it's not very good. Won't it le-"

"It's okay. It's all for me having fun anyway, it doesn't involve anything confidential."

"I should learn more from you then."

"Of course, we could learn from each other as well."

...

Zhang Jue watched in shock as they sat down again, opened the monitor, and studied the code for a while. At one point, he said that the code was well written here. At one point, he said there was room for optimization.

In this way, another hour passed and it was already dark. Zhang Jue and the receptionist began to yawn, while the two still did have fun. Until the Site Director couldn't hold any longer to take a pee, the two stopped.

When the Site Director went to the bathroom, Zhang Jue whispered and asked Simmons, "What do you think of this Site Director?" Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience

"Site Director Walnut's programming level is the highest I've ever seen. The program he wrote is not only logically rigorous and beautifully structured, even the efficiency is first class. I thought my level was okay, but seeing the code of the Site Director. I realized that Chinese saying is really right. There are people outside of people, and there is a heaven outside of heaven!"

Simmons found his soulmate, and his mouth was full of words like code and program. Zhang Jue slapped him on the back of the head, "Did I fucking ask you that? Do you remember what we're here for or not?"

Simmons rubbed his head and said aggressively, "To investigate about the Church of the Broken God."

"You still remember!" Zhang Jue hummed, "Then in your opinion, could this Site Director be a supervisor?"

"I don't think so, look at how well he writes the code..."

Zhang Jue once again covered his forehead and had a headache, "If I hear the word code again, I'll rip your head off and use it as a ball!"

"..."

After Site Director Walnut came back, under the reminder of that receptionist, several people talked about the business.

Simply put, SCP-2105 is a DOS program called " mv_sk1r.COM ", which is compressed in a .tar.gz format zip file, which also includes a .txt file [named DCMT-2105-1], renamed with the zip file. Although the file generally only works on DOS systems with the default program, SCP-2105 can run on any operating system.

Once it starts running, it will output a specific religious ritual based on the user's input. The types of rituals generated are diverse, with self-reflection, invocation, revenge, self-improvement, projection, worship activities, and many more.

Most importantly, the SCP-2105 generated rituals are highly dependent on the user's intention. For example, if the subject has a very strong desire to kill someone, when he completes the ritual, the target person is usually harmed in an unpredictable form.

Many D-Class usually end up teleporting themselves out of the facility after performing the ritual in order to escape the Foundation's pursuit of them. Zhang Jue briefly went over these characteristics with Simmons.

Simmons thought about it and said, "The fact that several branches of the Church of the Broken God are cooperating as a group to grab a ritual generation program this time is almost certain that they are preparing for the resurrection of the Broken God, and we have to be on guard."

"But there's one thing that doesn't make sense here." Zhang Jue pinched his chin, "The Church of the Broken God has existed for so long. Their ultimate goal is to resurrect the Broken God, but if they even need to rely on a program to provide the resurrection ritual, then what are they doing?"

Procedurally speaking, this is considered a bug, but at the moment they have limited clues to come up with a reasonable explanation. The crowd discussed it for a while, but eventually gave up.

...

Zhang Jue's mission in coming to Site-15 this time was still to help them find out what was going on. The purpose of the Church of the Broken God was nothing more than to resurrect the Broken God, but they hadn't gotten the parts together yet.

The Foundation needs Zhang Jue to investigate these things and prevent them before they happen. Site-15 is a very sensitive place, if we can't figure out how they hacked into the system. Then the Church of The Broken God follower will come back to plan an attack and grab SCP-079 or some other destructive SCP and the Foundation will have a hard time to dealing it.

After the last invasion, the whole staff of Site-15 worked overtime to make another all-round upgrade of the firewall of the whole site.

Zhang Jue thought about it and said to the Site Director, "We don't care about the rest. It's important to ensure the security of Site-15 first, you should let me meet those network security officers first."

The Network Security Department is a very important department of some large Internet companies or government enterprises. While they are called different, but their responsibilities are the same, to ensure the security of their own network, smooth, and free from attacks. Of course, in the case of an attack, there must also be a means to counteract it.

In Zhang Jue's world, there were always some network idiots asking ridiculous questions. For example, whether there are hackers who can hack into Tencent's or Alibaba's network to change the balance in their wallets.

The answer is that those who have the guts don't have the strength, and those who have the strength have long been recruited by others. These technical head of things are far more useful than a small wallet.

In general, The Network Security Department usually place some shallow vulnerabilities in their own procedures and wait for the enemy to attack. Once the enemy is trapped, they will follow the network line and check their activities. Don't question what you can do with it. Of course, find and catch and are two different things.

It can be said that in modern society, the battle in the network world is a war without smoke.

Having said all this, I just want to explain a truth. At the normal level, Site-15 has a big defense system and has a full on watchdogs. Either the their technology has been above the Site-15 all engineers or

Zhang Jue narrowed his eyes and said to the Site Director Walnut, "Just like the great leader Comrade Lenin once said that the strongest fortress is often breached from within."

The Site Director Walnut frowned, "Advisor Zhang, what do you mean by that?"

Simmons turned his hand and said, "Is this what Lenin said?"

"Don't worry about who said it, let's not care about those details." Zhang Jue waved his hand, "Site Director Walnut, I'm not going to hide from you. I went to Site-188 before, they just lost something because of the enemy's inside man. I'll take an irresponsible guess, I'm afraid this site of yours it's not clean either. I suspect, someone is messing with it."

After this reminder from Zhang Jue, Site Director Walnut realized that perhaps it was not that he was not as skilled as the others, but that there was a problem within them. When it came to procedures, Site Director Walnut was definitely a good at it. But when it came to fighting with people, he couldn't even match Zhang Jue's toes.

He couldn't help but say, "Advisor Zhang, what do we do now? How can we find out if the enemy is here?"

Zhang Jue laughed, "Well, that's easy. I'll tell you a story about this clay pot."

...

Of course, the story of the clay pot can only be a joke, this is not the territory of the fighting people. Those tech geeks were bursting at the seams with logical thinking, and they definitely wouldn't fall for the usual traps and Zhang Jue had to think of a better way.

He waved his hand, "All right, Site Director. Let's cut the small talk and let all those workers of yours shine."
