Chapter 937: Night and Net

Han Fei shared part of his plan with Qiang Wei and Boss. However, for these kids, the main thing wasn't to take revenge but to save themselves. Only by being alive could they witness the future they wanted.

Li Xue and her colleagues burst into the room. They escorted Han Fei away. "Come on. Let's go to the headquarters. My superior wants to see you." Li Xue drove Han Fei. Two officers sat at the back.

"It's fine. You don't need to assign such heavy protection detail on me." Han Fei felt his social anxiety coming back, surrounded by the police.

"Xin Lu is too dangerous now." The fact that this came from Li Xue signified how serious the situation was. "It doesn't look like much on the surface, but we've already crossed swords with three criminal organizations on many invisible battlefields. They are a lot more cunning than we thought."

"Invisible battlefields?"

"Yes. Those people have taken down the defense of Xin Lu's online world. They have sent many viruses into the web." Li Xue's expression was severe. "Whenever night falls, they would attack the internet to destroy the traffic control, communication system, and economy. This is an attack from all sides. Panic spreads among the citizens." The three organizations contained a lot of criminals, but some of them were very clever. The firefights that Han Fei expected didn't happen. The Unmentionables chose the battles that would hide their weaknesses. Dream, Gao Xing, and Butterfly were experts at playing with human emotions.

"They appear to be fighting a war without any bloodshed." Han Fei knew the scariness of Unmentionables. But he didn't expect they could still cause such damage after the cryptic world was sealed.

"The enemy is scary, but we're not pushovers. Until now, they haven't really reached the core control system. We're basically pushing and pulling around Deep Space Tech's seventh supercomputer." Li Xue revealed some insider info.

"The seventh supercomputer? Isn't that the core of the intelligent city too?"

"Yes. The three organizations no longer have enough human power to personally commit crimes. Therefore, they are trying to use the city to kill people by controlling the auto cars, management bots, and so on." Li Xue said worriedly, "The machines used to save lives will become emotionless murderers."

Han Fei frowned. He remembered something. "Compared to that, isn't it more dangerous for the millions of players who play Perfect Life? All these players have their consciousness inside the virtual playground made by the supercomputer. If these players were all controlled by ghosts..."

"All the info says that they haven't attacked Perfect Life," Li Xue's colleague said.

Han Fei was sent out of the headquarters. He looked around at the bustling city. The normal citizens had no idea how much danger they were in.

"Tomorrow is Thursday. I have to stop Gao Xing." Han Fei called Huang Yin. He realized that Huang Yin was already at Han Fei's home. He was worried. Han Fei took a police car back to his home. He saw Huang Yin once he arrived. Beside Huang Yin was a giant wooden box. When the police left, Huang Yin came close to Han Fei. "I've brought the NPC you told me to bring out of the world here. To be honest, I'm quite shocked."

"Why?"

"The white box doesn't look like it was an item programmed in the game. It was more like a unique reward produced by Perfect Life itself." Huang Yin shook his head. "I don't know how to explain it. Take a look yourself." After no one was around, Huang Yin opened the box. Inside was his AI butler.

"Where's the white box? Why did you bring your butler?"

"The NPC's consciousness is inside the butler." The butler left the box and entered Han Fei's home under Huang Yin's command. "Immortal Pharma has been researching consciousness transference. I think they've succeeded."

Huang Yin closed the door and keyed in a new command in the butler's head. The butler collapsed to the ground and a few minutes later, it stood up again. Compared to before, its gaze was different.

Huang Yin and Han Fei felt fearful looking at the robot. It was human, but not.

"The white box can sustain consciousness in Perfect Life. I follow the computer's instructions, and this is the result." Huang Yin was afraid too. "You can try to communicate with her. The consciousness inside the butler came from the white box."

Han Fei sat beside the robot politely. "Do you still remember me?"

The robot nodded.

"I can bring you to find Gao Xing. Can you tell me where he is?" Han Fei looked at the robot nervously. It didn't seem to know how to speak. After a long time, it wrote something in irregular writing on the table, Home.
