Chapter 42 Regaining Control of the System
After watching the video that was missing a segment.
"Rope makers and tunnel raiders are like wolves and jackals stealing prey right under the noses of the Hollow Investigation Association. I've seen plenty of them betray each other," the hacker said calmly. "But this is the first time I've seen a tunnel raider willing to give up his chance to survive in order to protect his rope maker identity."
"..."
Ling and Zhe both fell silent.
In that case, we must rescue them even more.
"I never expected that Nicole, who is as cunning as a rabbit, would make such a choice."
Zhe said with some emotion.
In his memory, Nicole would accept a commission, but would give up when faced with danger, and sometimes she would even use the items commissioned by her employer to save her life.
Nicole, in order to protect their identities, actually gave up the opportunity to ask the police for help.
"My concern wasn't in vain."
Ling said with some relief.
If Su Chen decides to exchange their identity information for the map, then all her concern will have been wasted.
This feeling is very good, and it touched her a little.
"Hey, hey, hey, have you guys thought this through?" the hacker interrupted, sneering, "Your agents have decided to gamble with their lives, so don't let them down!"
Ling and Zhe exchanged a glance, as if they were of one mind.
"We are willing to give you the password."
Zhe said calmly.
Ling added, "As long as you regain control of the HDD, we can log into the rope net account and retrieve the passwords recorded on it."
"Don't take me for a fool," the hacker sneered. "If I give you back control of this system, will you still keep your promise?"
"Then there's nothing we can do. The password is stored on the rope net, and we really don't know it without logging into the account."
Ling spread her hands, making a helpless expression.
Zhe then said, "Mr. Hacker, you know, who would remember a string of numbers stored on a computer?"
"This……"
The hacker hesitated.
What these two people said makes sense.
But if he were to actually return control of the HDD system, he would be a fool.
Suddenly, the hacker had an idea: "Hehe, the password is stored in the rope net, right? Then it'll be the same if you hand over the rope net account to me."
Ling and Zhe were secretly delighted, knowing that the other party had been tricked.
But in order to fool the hackers, we still have to put on an act.
"This……"
The brother and sister both looked hesitant.
"What, you don't want to give it to me?" The hacker felt reassured, thinking he had found the right direction, and immediately said with a sneer, "Your brothers are still suffering in the void, you should think about them."
The hacker was also a little flustered when he said this.
From Ies's perspective, he could clearly see that Su Chen and the others were leisurely and bored to the point of wanting to gossip.
But there was no other way; since the other siblings were completely unyielding, this was the only threat they could use.
Hopefully, this will actually fool them both.
“Fine, we’ll give you Phaethon’s account and password,” Ling said through gritted teeth. “But you must return control of the HDD system to us. We need to ensure Nicole and the others’ safety!”
Zhe replied firmly, "That's right, you must guarantee that."
In fact, the moment the Alpha data station was wiped, Faerton's account lost most of its value.
They deliberately acted as if they couldn't bear to part with it, precisely to mislead the hackers.
"You have no right to bargain with me. You only have one option now: trust me." The hacker said with a sneer. "But don't worry, as long as you hand over the accounts, they will be fine."
"you!"
Ling's acting was outstanding; her expression of anger was spot-on.
Zhe grabbed her arm and said, looking like a wronged child, "Fine, we really have no choice but to trust him."
Upon hearing this, Ling hung her head in dejection and handed over Phaethon's account password to the hacker.
"Hehehe! That's more like it!"
The hacker successfully logged into Phaethon's account and laughed triumphantly.
“We have a question for you,” Zhe suddenly said. “What exactly is in that safe that has caused so many forces to fight over it?”
The Whista Institution, the mastermind behind the Red Fang Gang, the employer of Rabbit House, and this mysterious hacker...
It's truly alarming that such a small safe could involve so many powerful forces.
"At this final moment, I can actually answer your question." The hacker, in high spirits after obtaining the password, said relaxedly, "It's a treasure you'll never be able to access in your entire lives!"
"As you all know, the hole map is derived from the calculation of massive amounts of hole data. However, the holes are constantly changing, and the calculation results are bound to have errors. At this time, a hole master data is needed to correct the error, which is the Rosetta data that the mayor has the only one of."
"The contents of the safe are essentially another Rosetta Data; with it, one can freely enter and exit the Void."
As he spoke, the hacker was filled with boundless joy, as if he could already see Fariy shining brightly in his hands.
Just like the villain tells the reason when he kills someone, you enjoy the protagonist's despair.
The hacker also shared his joy of success with the brother and sister.
He didn't notice that Ling had quietly left the room, dialed the police station's number, and then turned back.
“Now, I have one last question.” Zhe smirked and asked, “Since you can hack into the HDD system, why don’t you just steal the password or hack into the net to get the backup?”
"Is this mockery? I'm warning you, don't force me to change my mind!"
The hacker started to panic.
He certainly didn't have the ability to hack into the HDD system; the firewall of that system was the only one he had ever seen in his life.
Even with parts of Ghost's code, it's impossible to completely control it.
"Think about it carefully. Apart from controlling our systems and communications, you haven't done anything else that befits a hacker. You've just used data and Nicole to threaten us."
"You hacker, you didn't just know how to use the delete key, did you?"
Bell laughed sarcastically.
"Damn it, shut up!" the hacker yelled angrily. "Tell me the address of the backup password, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Ling stroked her chin playfully and said, "Want another password? Let's listen to the sirens outside first!"
Upon hearing this, the hacker also noticed the sound of police sirens coming from outside the window.
"What have you done!?"
The hacker immediately panicked.
"Nothing much was done; it was just a kind citizen who reported the Legendary Rope Maker's account information to the Public Security Bureau."
Zhe said with a smile.
The hacker suddenly realized, gritting his teeth: "So that's how it is! So that's how it is! To lure me in, you were actually willing to give up your legendary rope craftsman identity! You guys are really ruthless..."
“Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Hacker,” Ling said playfully. “But we haven’t given up Phaethon’s identity, we’ve only given up an empty account.”
"..."
The hacker didn't have time to respond; he was busy dealing with the police.
The account information of the legendary rope maker Phaethon was enough to excite the entire district's security bureau.
"Brother, mission accomplished! We've successfully regained control of HDD!"
Ling looked at the system interface that had returned to normal and said excitedly.
"Yes, good teamwork, little sister!" Zhe praised, "Let's quickly restore the connection and go rescue Nicole and the others."
"Ok!"
With a swift, ringing finger, the HDD system was immediately restarted.
She couldn't wait to appear before Su Chen as a savior.
