Chapter 889: Chapter 850: Do You Understand Time Stop?

"Found it."

Within five minutes, Lu Xiang had completely hacked the villa’s security system and brought up all the surveillance footage from today.

Song Lan watched her operation throughout, his head crowded with question marks.

Initially, Lu Xiang still answered the questions he asked from time to time, but soon she realized that Song Lan’s questions were too elementary, as if someone who hadn’t mastered elementary school math suddenly walked into an advanced math classroom.

This made discussions on hacking issues between them extremely difficult, leaving her no choice but to recommend a "Hacking Basics Tutorial" to him.

This was a bestseller in the market, famed for bringing even fools to the beginner’s level of hacking.

Five minutes later, Lu Xiang found that this Dumb Bird had been spacing out all along, not even having finished the table of contents. His phone screen had already switched to some movie review website, displaying reviews of recent films.

Lu Xiang’s eyelids twitched violently a few times, "Are you actually interested in hacking at all?"

Breaking into the villa’s security system didn’t really take five minutes; responding to Song Lan’s naive questions and searching for a basic tutorial took up 4 minutes and 52 seconds.

Perhaps this was the state people refer to as being "so angry one could gnash their teeth," making her almost want to bite someone.

"Not really interested."

Song Lan answered quite frankly.

With that effort, it was better to check the comments on the review site to decide which films to ask Guan Lili for internal resources before going to sleep tonight.

That was the necessity of maintaining a long-term good relationship with senior figures at Kolo Film Industry; usually, new resources in cinemas took more than a month to become downloadable, but Guan Lili could use her position to send the internal resources of films directly to him—given the recent hot weather, Song Lan really didn’t want to go to the cinema.

Being able to lie in bed, watching new movies while enjoying the air conditioning was naturally the best option.

If there were also chilled drinks, the happiness of life would level up another notch.

"Then why did you keep asking, asking, asking!"

Song Lan’s attitude made Lu Xiang clench her teeth, her fists raised several times, but each time she let them down.

She couldn’t bring herself to hit him, yet his behavior was exasperating.

Especially since the cartoon sheep mask Song Lan wore had a bright sunny smile that always seemed somehow mischievous to her.

"I was just afraid you’d be bored."

The dense code made Song Lan’s eyes hurt; he could tell it was a tedious job.

"Really?"

"Really."

"Okay."

Lu Xiang’s expression hidden under a cartoon big bad wolf mask changed, her furrowed brow immediately smoothed out, and she felt no irritation at all in her heart.

Song Lan always felt that "Sea of Souls," after granting access rights to Lu Xiang, had also enhanced her hacking power to an unprecedented level. At least in his view, no hacker had been able to merely "glare" at someone and cause their prosthetic to malfunction.

This was a scene only seen in games and movies, often criticized by other professional hackers who believed the film details about hacking were too fantastical, completely lacking scientific basis.

"Look at this."

Lu Xiang pulled up the surveillance footage; the timestamp was just before their arrival at the site. Vaguely appearing within the camera’s field of view was a man in a suit.

His mask only revealed a pair of eyes, and as he approached the fortress entrance, he looked up towards the direction of the camera. Just before the screen was overtaken by static, Song Lan saw a flash of blue light in the visitor’s eyes.

Lu Xiang’s explanation confirmed his suspicion, "He destroyed the surveillance when he arrived. The ’Sea of Souls’ information database has no relevant information; he is an unregistered AI."

Another character who could complete hacking work with a single "glare" had appeared.

"Although the surveillance was destroyed, I still found some clues. In his conversation with Vadim, he mentioned ’Overload Type IV,’ which suggests he might be deeply involved with military technology."

"Is this model something special?"

"’Overload’ is the next-generation operating system launched by military technology, you must have seen its effects. It can enhance a person’s reaction speed to the extreme within a short time, to the extent that their actions appear as if time has stopped to normal people."

Those equipped with the Overload operating system might be a dozen meters away from you one second, and in the next moment, right in front of you, chopping off your head with a thermal cutting blade.

The only downside is that this operating system model demands a lot from the individual. It requires comprehensive Prosthesis Modification to allow the implant’s body to keep up with their accelerated thoughts.

And this is precisely why military technology has been unable to generalize the Overload system within the army.

"The most advanced ’Overload’ operating system currently is the ’Overload Type III’ on Wild Bone; it can accomplish up to 25 times acceleration."

’Overload Type III’ is a custom-made product, the only one on the market, currently being safely ’kept’ in Bug Swarm’s storage.

After obtaining the chip, Ge Fu’s main research direction had always been trying to integrate the concept of thought acceleration into individuals of Bug Swarm, but the progress had been very slow.

"That’s the problem. If military technology really did develop a new generation ’Overload Type IV,’ why would they use such technology on some random thug?"
