Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Please Use One Sentence to Stop a Cyber Madman_1
When the girl was urgently transported to the junkyard, she was already in a deep coma.
Song Lan immediately gathered all the staff at the base for an emergency consultation on the unconscious girl, and even the security personnel known as "Heavy Cannon" joined in to offer their opinions.
He wiped away sweat while listening to everyone’s discussion.
He felt his fishing skills might well surpass those of Lu Xiang, who usually caught only a few insignificant street thugs, whereas he managed to "fish" a cyber-crazy just by sitting in the waiting room.
The unethical prosthetic doctor mentioned that the girl had undergone military-grade prosthetic implantation, and considering her height of around 1.5 meters, Song Lan was quite certain she was the cyber-crazy they were searching for throughout the city.
Soon, several distinguished experts in their respective fields reached an important conclusion after discussion.
Put together, they still fell short of a single prosthetic doctor.
This forced Song Lan to move up the plan to recruit a doctor on the agenda; any excellent team needed an outstanding nanny, although Elmon had great potential for the future, he was currently only skilled at physical remedies.
Luckily, most of them had prosthetic implantations, and after some discussion, they eventually reached a consensus.
"The main issue is with the connection between her operating system and the neural feedback system," Medea said. "A child of her age is still developing and is generally unsuitable for extensive prosthetic implantation. The physical and mental stress of the implants can be overwhelming, and once the body’s balance is disrupted, various complications may arise."
"Where is the problem now?"
"Neural currents."
Medea said, "We detected an erratic current surging through her body, a current very similar to the one used by the Horn Bug’s weaponry. Had she been attacked by a Horn Bug before?"
"Yes, but she didn’t faint on the spot when attacked."
According to Lu Xiang, the girl only stiffened for a moment after being injected with the current yesterday and even managed to escape the Horn Bug’s encirclement.
How could there be delayed symptoms?
Although he didn’t understand prosthetic implantation technology, he knew Horn Bug’s current was meant to render the target unconscious for capture, not to inflict lethal damage.
"Her case is rather exceptional; a virus-like program was also planted in her operating system," said Dr. Bai Zhu. "Once the host becomes unconscious, the virus in the operating system rapidly spreads, and what’s actually fatal is the implanted system itself."
The delayed electrical discharge had induced a comatose state in the host, which in turn triggered the virus.
"But why would the current have a delayed onset?"
Song Lan was perplexed; when he first met the girl, her emotions were very stable, showing no signs of trouble.
Could it be the weaponry store’s security was magnetic?
"Dr. Bai Zhu thinks it might be because she activated a rarely used software that was already damaged yesterday... What are you thinking of?"
"... Could it be the built-in radio software?"
Song Lan’s expression stiffened. Before the girl fell into a coma, he had suggested she listen to FM98.7 for body temperature adjustments. Now, recalling that moment, he remembered a light flashing in her pupils, possibly the activation of this seldom-used software—and then she gave him a negative review on the spot.
In a way, did his mere suggestion knock a cyber-crazy unconscious?
No, why would someone install a radio software inside a military-grade system?
Song Lan was beset with question marks.
"A radio software? That explains it."
Medea’s face showed a sudden realization as she said, "According to your description, she first activated the already damaged radio software, and when the security guard grabbed her arm, she instinctively switched to the combat module... You can understand this as the human brain implanted with an operating system is similar to a computer. Once two modules clash, it may cause a system crash."
Song Lan admitted that Medea’s description was very vivid and illustrative, and even he, a layman without any theoretical knowledge of prosthetic implantation, could understand.
In his understanding, it was this young girl who took his advice and opened the system’s built-in radio software to listen to FM98.7’s ’Body Temperature Radio’. However, this software itself had some issues, causing it to pop up an ’unresponsive’ alert whenever she tried switching to another application.
Her temper flared up and she carried out a furious ’Alt+Ctrl+Delete’ operation, then successfully managed to crash the operating system.
"Normally, an operating system crash would trigger a protective restart, and it usually takes about 5 seconds to return to normal, but her restart process just happened to activate a built-in virus."
Medea summarized the entire process in a way Song Lan could understand, making the final conclusion, "That is to say, if you hadn’t let her listen to the ’Body Temperature Radio’, her system wouldn’t have crashed."
"Could I have anticipated that?"
Even if he had used his ability to predict the future at the time, he probably wouldn’t have understood why the young girl collapsed to the ground frothing at the mouth; he would most likely have thought she was hit by the weapons shop’s security.
"This isn’t to blame you. In fact, if her system hadn’t crashed, that security guard would have been dead."
Medea explained, "Her arm was implanted with a built-in thermal cutting blade. Once the combat module was activated, she could have sliced the security guard to ribbons in the blink of an eye. Considering her extremely unstable mental state, she might well have massacred the surrounding civilians as well—actually, you prevented a Cyber frenzy attack."
Not bad for me!
Song Lan crossed his arms, even though he himself didn’t quite understand what had happened, but he had successfully prevented a Cyber frenzy.
This might just be the pinnacle of being a Law Enforcer.
"So, what now?"
"Dr. Bai Zhu is attempting to manually hack into her operating system to remove the virus. The biggest problem is that you brought her here too late; the virus has already caused some damage to her brain. Even if the virus is removed, it’s not certain that she can be restored to her original state. She must be handed over to a Prosthetic Doctor to repair the damaged parts, preferably by the person who installed these military-grade implants in her."
During their conversation, Bai Zhu had already completed the virus removal.
The young girl sitting in the chair moved her mouth, but what came out was a synthetic female voice.
"System reboot in progress"
"Chip recognized, welcome to the ’Falcon’ combat system."
Everyone went on alert, knowing at their core that this small, outwardly delicate girl was in fact a Cyber maniac implanted with an arsenal of killing tools.
The young girl’s blue pupils shone brightly as she looked around her in bewilderment.
After a long while, her lips moved again, "Welcome to FM98.7 Body Temperature Radio, the time is now 11:31 AM, and I am your host, Rita."
Huh?
A question mark appeared over everyone’s heads.
"Next, we’ll bring you the monthly hit song ’I-really-want-to-stay-at-your-house’."
"Are you sure the virus removal was successful?"
Song Lan cast a skeptical look at Bai Zhu.
How could a perfectly normal young girl suddenly turn into a radio station?
