Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Away Wuzhan at the Beginning

"Huh? Why don't you believe it? I told you it's on the right, right!"

"Under Silver Wolf's repeated insistence, the left passage was completely blocked. Xing had no choice but to follow Silver Wolf to the end of the right passage."

"Along the way, Xing discovered that ScrewGum seemed very familiar with Silver Wolf. Not only was he familiar with her hacking skills, but he even knew her personality and temperament very well."

"You seem to know her well?"

"It's just a chance encounter." Screwgum nodded. "I once had a battle with her, and Black Tower was there—she might have mentioned it to you."

"Xing vaguely remembered that Screw-Gum won, but he denied it. "To me, that wasn't a victory. It was more of a test than a duel. She attacked, I defended, and there was no clear winner. Both sides were holding back. She couldn't break through the Difference Machine Ball's defense, and I didn't stop her from escaping."

Hunter x Hunter.

The setting sun dyed the sky orange, and a gentle breeze rustled the grass. Xiao Jie sat cross-legged under a tree, his hands behind his head, looking up at the shadowy figure of the girl in the sky.

"Killua, tell me..." He suddenly spoke, a rare note of contemplation in his voice, "That girl named Silver Wolf, she looks about the same age as us, right?"

Killua was toying with a coin, his silver hair swaying gently in the wind. Hearing this, he paused, and the coin flicked into the air with a ding.

"Hmm... looks like he's three or four years older than us? You can't judge people in the universe simply by appearance." He casually caught the falling coin. "Why, are you jealous of him being able to hack into the simulation?"

Xiaojie shook his head, his eyes still fixed on the distance. "I'm a little envious... Mr. Screw Gum is a genius recognized by the Star God. To be able to compete with him in skills and not fall behind... I bet she must have put in a lot of hard work behind the scenes, right?"

Killua turned his head and looked at Gon's profile, which was gilded by the setting sun. This guy who was always straightforward, when he occasionally showed such a serious expression, always reminded him of the crystal clear lake water.

"Hey..." Killua smiled helplessly, "You say that as if you're terrible and don't work hard enough. You've put in a lot of effort to save Mr. Kate, haven't you?"

"Besides, compared to Silver Wolf, I think you have something more special than her." Killua said seriously.

Gon turned his head in surprise when he heard that, and happened to meet Killua's smiling blue eyes.

"What's so special about it?"

"That's it..." Killua looked at the forest in the distance, and suddenly changed the subject and asked him an unrelated question: "Gon, do you remember those people we met during the Hunter Exam?"

"Of course I remember!" Gon smiled brightly and counted on his fingers: "Leorio, Kurapika, Hisoka... and many, many more."

Killua's mouth corners unconsciously raised.

This is it… he thought.

Everyone can't help but be drawn to you, even a pervert like Hisoka. The most incredible thing is that even someone like me, who came from the darkness, can be drawn to a light like yours.

Maybe... you never realized how dazzling you are?

"As we were talking, Silver Wolf had already arrived in the next room."

"Finally, we're almost at the end. Hilarious! There's even a Black Tower figurine here." Silver Wolf leaned over to examine the Black Tower figurine. "Isn't she narcissistic? Her face is all over the station—in portraits, sculptures, and a ton of projections."

"The Ether Cassette is in the next room, but Xing feels a strange feeling."

"ScrewGum: "Yes, this sense of dissonance runs through the entire thing. She came for the star core, but she also showed a keen interest in the strange objects. And after we realized the existence of the ether cartridge, she appeared in the simulation at the perfect time."

“It was as if we weren’t tracking her, but she was right in our path.”

“I remember a story I heard about how, in Punchlord, graffiti is a unique symbol. Hackers see reality as a grand game, pursuing the “pass” of life.”

"Whether it's for victory or for joy, they leave their mark wherever they go, one pattern after another, connecting the long journey and writing the game of life." Screw Gum chuckled softly. "Don't you think it's similar to the current situation? Perhaps she went to such lengths just to play a child's game with us."

"Following Silver Wolf into the last room, Xing saw the Ether Cassette lying in front of Silver Wolf intact and felt that something was a little strange."

"ScrewGum also read the confusion on Xing's face, indicating that there was an inappropriate third party here."

"If the Silver Wolf we saw was a reflection from the past, she couldn't have arrived here, otherwise the cassette wouldn't be intact. So the assumption is inconsistent with the facts."

"So he believes that Silver Wolf did indeed hack into the Black Tower's office, but didn't stay. Faced with the vast amount of data in the simulated universe, finding a specific target in a short period of time is impossible unless..."

"Unless there is a suitable guide."

"Silver Wolf suddenly turned around and said leisurely."

-

Honkai Impact 3rd.

"Leonard, Xing, Screw Gum, Black Tower... As expected." Bronya cleared her throat and began to imitate the blade's superb magnetic bubbling sound:

"There are five people, three actors, and stars...you are not one of them."

"Pfft—hahahaha!" Kiana couldn't hold back her laughter and fell directly on the desk, her two pigtails swinging non-stop: "B-Bronya...you imitated it too well!"

"I didn't expect Silver Wolf to act so naturally. It seems that in addition to hacking skills, he also has some talents in other fields." Ji Zi smiled slightly.

"Of course you do. Don't you see whose counterpart he is?" Bronya raised her chin proudly.

"Hey! Isn't your counterpart the Grand Guardian of Beloberg? The one who was recently asked by the company to pay back their debts!" ​​Kiana complained dissatisfiedly, "How come you have two counterparts? And I don't have any! Mei doesn't have any either! This isn't fair!"

"But that's the truth."

Bronya smiled slyly. "Compared to that Great Guardian, Silver Wolf's personality is clearly more to my liking. Whether it's Silver Wolf's nickname or her identity as a hacker... Miss Silver Wolf is clearly more like me."

Chapter 287: Punchlord Spirit (VII)

"Xing, the one in front of you is tonight's protagonist," Screwgum explained calmly. "She left a backdoor in the office, intending to remotely hack into it while you were in the simulation, and then somehow travel with us."

"I have to say, she's a skilled actress, and confusing the audience is always the most effective method."

“So you knew this from the beginning?”

"I'm sorry, but the Black Tower forbids me from revealing any information ahead of time. She said that in this plan, what's important isn't wisdom, but ignorance." ScrewGum paused, then continued, "But in my opinion, the most important things are persistence and sincerity. There's no doubt that Mr. Leonard's every move completely captivated him."

"So, are you satisfied with this simulated universe journey, Miss Silver Wolf?"

Silver Wolf folded her arms and sneered, "Hmph, you've already figured it out. I knew it wouldn't be so easy to hide it from you." She looked at Screw Gum as he slowly approached her. "You've been telling me all the gossip along the way, haven't you?"

"So the shutdown of the simulated universe and the dispute with the Black Tower were all staged? Just to lure me into a trap?"

"That depends on your understanding. Black Tower and I have always been frank with each other, and sharp exchanges like this are common. To say it was all a show is inappropriate."

"Silver Wolf turned his head and snorted softly."

"Look, Miss Silver Wolf is truly a brilliant hacker. She calculated everything, leaving plenty of variables and backup plans. The only variable is my sudden visit to the space station and the tragic news of the shutdown of the simulation. This will cause her plan to fail."

"Counting her subsequent desperate attempt to enter the simulation... from Grumpy's perspective, that's the whole story."

"The whole picture? No, no, you've missed the most crucial point." Silver Wolf shook his head. "I'm not taking a risk, but I'm eager to try, understand? Screw Gum, do you know how excited I was the moment you showed up?"

"It's been so long since I've enjoyed this kind of fun against a rival of equal strength. The Legion is a primitive force, the company isn't quite there either, and only the club can give me some fun."

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.

Moonlight streamed down the courtyard of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters. The pillars gathered together, discussing the little girl who had appeared from the sky.

"This 'hacker' is truly amazing. When she and Kafka first came to the station, I was so focused on Kafka's Word Spirit that I overlooked Silver Wolf's methods." Rock Pillar Gyoumei clasped his hands together, tears streaming down his face. "Now it seems her methods are just as miraculous as the Word Spirit... She can win battles from thousands of miles away without wielding a sword."

"I think the 'hacker' is more powerful than Kafka's words. Even Kafka wouldn't dare to say something like 'the Legion is a primitive people' so easily, right?"

Iguro Obanai tapped her knee lightly. "Judging from the tone of this girl, and her ability to rival a genius like ScrewGum... I'm afraid the company is really a place where she can come and go as she pleases."

Tomioka Giyuu sat quietly to the side, then raised his eyes slightly upon hearing this. "Excuse me, I have a question—I just heard them talking about 'hacking,' 'computers,' 'silicon matrix,' and so on... Do you all know what these words mean?"

"Also, do you know what the 'hacker' you've been talking about for so long does?"

"..."

Before Tomioka Giyu finished speaking, the scene fell into dead silence.

When everyone heard Screwgum mention "hackers", they just thought it was some kind of magical technology from Punklord, but when they dug deeper into the details, they had different opinions on what it involved.

Gyomei Beimingjima believed that it was a means of remotely projecting his own figure and voice, Mitsuri Kanroji believed that it was a method of sealing monsters in walls, and Obanai Iguro listened most attentively, believing that it was a technology to edit reality to make it easier for the Star Core Hunters to escape from the company's pursuit.

"It's like the blind men and the elephant..." Shinobu Kocho laughed. "Their skills have long surpassed our imagination. As both are Star Core Hunters, it feels like Mr. Blade is a little closer to us."

“Reality is indeed a game—but what’s the point of playing if you can’t have fun? Two geniuses have come together to offer me an invitation, a challenge. How can I not accept it? If it were you, could you?”

"ScrewGum: You're sure you can get away with it."

"That's right." Silver Wolf tapped his wrist a few times and looked at the Ether Cassette flashing white beside him. "And take it with you."

“Oh? A copy? Made during this conversation?”

"Why else would I have gone through all this preliminaries with you? You're not the only one stalling for time. The Black Tower might be hacking back through the same tunnel I used to invade. You and I staying here, attacking and defending, will be a replay of our last duel."

"Alright, I'm looking forward to it! How are you going to stop me this time? Using the simulated universe as a black box? Jointly launching a cross-galaxy siege? Screw-Gum, can I see your true strength?"

Silver Wolf was about to ask him to let her have some fun, but Screwgum simply bowed politely and said in a leisurely voice, "I'm sorry, Miss Silver Wolf. None of this will happen. You may leave now."

Silver Wolf was stunned: "Huh?"

-

Dragon clan.

The Kassel College Library is 200 meters underground.

Finkel and Silver Wolf made a "ha" sound almost at the same time.

"Isn't this funny? What's this? You're totally not going to take it?" Fingle ruffled his blond hair. "It's like preparing for a confession for three days and three nights, and then the other person just says 'You're a good person!'"

A shadow of a young girl in a white gauze dress appeared in the air, her bare feet hovering above the console, her silver hair cascading like a waterfall. Norma tilted her head slightly, "Fingal, do you need me to help you analyze the woman's psychology?"

"That's a metaphor! A metaphor!" Finkel emphasized again and again. "I was planning on having you analyze the data generated by their offensive and defensive duels. Maybe you can use it for secondary purposes."

Hearing this, Norma shook her head slightly: "I'm sorry, Finkel, I'm afraid this cannot be analyzed."

"You think you can't handle it before we even start?" Finkel was stunned for a moment. "Show the same momentum that brought you to the Pentagon!"

"Hacking the Pentagon is easy, but it's completely different from the technology within the Sky Curtain," Norma said truthfully. "The technology currently mastered by the company would take Earth dozens of technological revolutions and tens of thousands of years of development to even begin to 'understand'. As for the offensive and defensive data generated by these two geniuses..."

Finkel rarely saw an embarrassed expression on Norma's face.

"Okay, I was careless." Finkel stood up and dusted off his pants. "But, Norma, if there is a chance, would you like to see these two fight?"

"If their data doesn't cause an excessive amount of floating-point computing power on me, causing a shutdown... then of course I'm willing."

Chapter 288: Punchlord Spirit (VIII)

"Leave? Why? Aren't you going to capture me, put shackles on me, and throw me into a distant land of exile?" Silver Wolf asked tentatively.

"ScrewGum: "Your imagination is interesting. However, your feud with the space station has nothing to do with me. Logic: I won't stop it."

"Then I'll definitely take this cassette with me." Silver Wolf smiled slightly.

"That's just a copy. Correction: Not only the one you hold, but also the one stored here. The real artifact was removed at the beginning of the plan. Conclusion: You may freely share this data."

"Silver Wolf's expression gradually grew serious. She threatened to attack the space station again and destroy the simulation, but both of these threats were ruthlessly refuted by Grum."

"Although Silver Wolf's methods are superb, the Ether Editor is not omnipotent. It cannot destroy an entire universe, let alone under the noses of two geniuses."

"What the hell? You guys spent so much effort setting up a trap, and you're not going to do anything about it?" Silver Wolf thought the other party was simply unreasonable.

"Screw-Gum graciously admitted, 'Yes.' Now, all your painstaking efforts in preparing this game have been completely undone, haven't they? Without fun, the game is meaningless."

"Silver Wolf, I understand your demands. The company's shackles cannot hold you, and prison is just another stage for a game. Black Tower and I have reached a consensus: we will no longer accommodate your demands."

Silver Wolf immediately felt disappointed: "Tsk, how boring..."

"However, Black Tower feels this result is too gentle and wants to add a few more details. For example... at this moment, she has located all of your interstellar network accounts through reverse hacking - a total of 76, a very objective number."

"How about having the company freeze them all? And the game records along with them?"

"Silver Wolf's expression froze instantly."

"The most dangerous hacker in the galaxy finally shows the expression of a cat whose tail has been stepped on."

“What! Hey, wait—”

-

overlord.

After trying to understand terms like "game records," "account," and "hacking" to no avail, Demiurge gave Ainz a rare look of confusion.

As NPCs created by other Supreme Beings, Demiurge, Shalltear, and the others were completely unable to comprehend these modern terms. Ainz, however, was well aware of the meaning behind these terms, so when he heard that Silver Wolf was about to have 76 accounts banned in an instant, he couldn't help but gasp.

All the game accounts? These two guys are really cruel...
