Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

"An opportunity?" Nicholas asked, puzzled.

"look."

Karl raised his hand and summoned a transparent system panel that was publicly visible.

The panel was rapidly displaying line after line of data code.

The code refreshed so quickly it was almost impossible to see, and some of the code turned a darker color, distinguishing it from the other white code characters and forming a skull pattern.

Nicholas couldn't understand any of this, and after a pause, he asked, "What is this?"

Carl's expression was playful: "Virus."

"Virus?" Nicholas asked, puzzled.

"This is a system virus created by our genetic engineering team after studying the Deep Blue system for more than half a year, targeting the weaknesses of this type of implantable human system," Karl said. "It can effectively damage the infected person's system, remotely control and monitor them, steal their data, and even remotely steal items stored in their system's inventory!"

Nicholas's eyes lit up, slightly surprised: "You can actually do that?"

Carl raised his hand, and a microchip less than half a centimeter in diameter floated in his palm.

This is the virus developed by their gene company—the Bone Corpse Virus.

Carl said, "However, a system virus cannot spread without a medium. We need someone to transmit the virus to Nightsong's system in the form of file data without Nightsong's awareness or suspicion. As long as Nightsong receives our virus file, the company can infiltrate his system in a fraction of a second, and then everything about him will be under our control."

Based on his deduction, Night Song's system must be the highest-spec version of the Deep Blue system, and it is very likely the main system used by the entire human race!

The Deep Blue System is a product jointly developed by the Night Family and Dark City.

The Night Song system likely contains a great deal of important information about the development of the Deep Blue system.

If we can successfully hack into his system, then we might be able to obtain all the research and development data of the Deep Blue system and crack its technical secrets!

At that time, their gene company will also be able to independently develop its own system.

“As expected of a gene company.” Nicholas paused. “But how can we transfer the virus file to Nightsong without him being on guard?”

Karl smiled faintly: "Night Song is unaware of the existence of viruses targeting the Deep Blue system, so she shouldn't be on guard against them. This matter isn't actually that difficult."

Even the smartest person cannot prevent things from happening before, unless they have the ability to foresee the future.

Karl raised his hand again and opened a system map.

Several red dots were marked on the system map, which were the locations of Ye Ge, Gao Shenxue, Xia Xiyao, and the dozens of war academy students they led.

“Most of these students from the War Academy are inexperienced low-level superhumans who have never been on the battlefield and have little experience. They are easy to use,” Karl said. “I don’t need to teach you the rest step by step, Mr. Nicholas.”

Nicholas smiled, narrowing his eyes: "Hehe... I already know, thank you for your help, Mr. Carl."

He placed his right hand on his chest, bowed slightly, and performed a gesture of respect befitting a vampire nobleman.

“Don’t disappoint me again.” Karl turned around. “The dark races that cooperate with our company are not just your vampires, and you are not the only ones coveting the Azure Dragon’s remains. If you fail again, I will have to find someone else.”

Nicholas's expression changed slightly.

However, his expression quickly returned to normal, and he smiled again: "Don't worry, this time it will be foolproof."

Carl left.

Nicholas raised his hand and summoned the vampire officer who was not far away.

"How many vampire warriors are lurking in the towns near the Hundred Souls Forest?"

The vampire officer immediately replied, "Fifty-three in total."

"Those six masked, black-robed masters under Night Singer shouldn't be with him right now, right?"

"No, after all, he was just leading students in combat training as an instructor, and it was within human territory, so of course he wouldn't bring so many bodyguards with him."

The vampire officer paused for a moment, then continued, "And even if they were here, there's nothing to be afraid of. In the Hundred Soul Forest, all beings are equal, and everyone's power will be suppressed to the Hundred Soul Realm. Even if they are six Heavenly Enlightenment Realm experts, there's nothing to fear."

Nicholas nodded, narrowing his eyes, and said, "Alright, send all the vampire warriors nearby over. But try not to target Night Song and those two girls with him. Pick on the weak, understand?"

"Yes, I understand." The vampire officer slipped away.

......

As dusk falls, the sun gradually sets.

The sky gradually turned a deep, bruised purple, and within half an hour it became completely black, with a bright full moon appearing in the dark night sky.

Yege has just notified the entire class through the system that the original mission is canceled and everyone should gather and return immediately.

Most of the students have already returned to the forest clearing.

They didn't know what had happened, but seeing Ye Ge's somewhat serious face and the two pools of blood on the ground, they knew that something unexpected must have happened.

Several more hours have passed.

Ye Ge counted the number of people.

Several students have not yet returned.

After such a long period of time, Ye Ge was almost 100% certain that something had happened to them. The students of the War Academy's inner sect were all geniuses. There might be many extraordinary creatures in the Hundred Soul Forest that they couldn't hunt, but they posed almost no significant threat to them. Even if they couldn't defeat them, they could definitely escape. So, only one possibility remained: they had fallen into the hands of those vampires.

A female student approached and asked cautiously, "Lord Yege, has something happened?"

Ye Ge remembered that this girl's name was Tang Yanyan.

Night Song paused for a moment, then calmly said, "There might be vampires who have infiltrated this forest."

Tang Yanyan exclaimed, "Ah?!"

Ye Ge raised her hand, palm facing the sky.

Above the forest, under the pitch-black night sky, hundreds of black crows circled overhead.

The night singer suddenly clenched his fist, and the flock of crows scattered in an orderly fashion, emitting sharp cries.

Ye Ge said, "Xi Yao, count the people again and see who hasn't returned yet."
