16. Faces in the sky
Gbellar ruler.
The name is not unfamiliar. Even its image is not unfamiliar.
Although Fang Chi left the nineteenth game, he never stopped paying attention to the online world. It was as if it had become an instinct for her, deeply rooted in her consciousness. She even occasionally imagines that one day in the future, when she has a complete mental breakdown, she will still have a tentacle that stretches out into the online world.
She is a watcher, a presence.
There are countless hackers in the online world, and there are also white hat hackers who represent justice like chivalrous heroes.
Hackers exploit vulnerabilities in programs and profit from them; White hats expose vulnerabilities that allow programmers to respond and defend themselves before hackers launch an attack.
However, there are thousands of hackers, and few of them can really be known to everyone, but they are like the morning star at dawn. For example, Kevin Mitnik, who broke into the "North American Air Defense Command System" with only a computer and a modem, such as Wither, who stole the medical examination report of a Russian presidential candidate, who failed his campaign, such as sin, which was the first hacker organization in China to create the "Red Corps", and "Three Musketeers", who won the first place in the world's top hacker competition Pwn2Own only three years after his debut......
Not everyone can be Kevin Mitnick and Wither. In China, after so many years, no one can replicate the glory of SIN and the Three Musketeers.
However, in this year, a new hacker appeared in Maandala, and in just four months, it had already gained the attention of billions of Maandala users around the world.
This incredible speed is unprecedented.
The whiteboard in Fang Chi's home recorded the actions of the ruler between the eyebrows in the past four months.
On January 4th, a public email titled "How to Use Hacking to Hack O's Upcoming New Generation of Virtual Reality Glasses" circulated wildly in Maandala. OKee is a highly confidential hardware company that will never reveal any information about new products before the official launch of the product to create a sense of mystery about the product.
However, in this email, the hacker, who is signed as an outsider, describes in detail how to hack his company's system and obtain all the information about his product through GuòO's email. The email directly forced O-Kee to shut down the company's information system for two days to remediate the vulnerability, and brought forward the release of new products from April to January.
He did not reveal any information about himself in the public email, and only signed a sentence at the end of the email:
[The earth fire runs underground, rushing; Once the lava erupts, it will burn up all the weeds and trees, so that it is incorruptible. 】
When the user closes the email in Maandala, a face with eyes more than a foot apart seems to rise from the ashes. This face has no features other than eyes, but those eyes are huge and fluid, as if they are alive, staring at you in mid-air, looking at you with creeps.
Whether out of curiosity or whatever, that public email was read by billions of people, accounting for 72% of all users of Maandala.
Maandala quickly blocked the code that would have caused the public mail to have such an uplift, and banned the email.
However, no one can forget that face, including Fang Chi.
This face has also become the symbol of the ruler between the eyebrows.
On February 14, a □□ state official who secretly carried out space flight operations triumphantly released a propaganda photo of several aerospace scientists in the desert, with a blurred corner of the launch pad behind it.
Three hours later, a message appeared under the promotional photo, detailing the approximate latitude and longitude range of the geographical location calculated based on the clothing, weather and environmental conditions of the people in the photo, and the statement error did not exceed 2°; According to the structure and angle of the launch pedestal, the approximate real yàn type, and the type of spacecraft.
Officials quickly deleted the photos and messages. However, all of them have been saved by screenshots, and for a time the country's officials became a laughing stock.
Message signature: glabellar ruler
Signed, [They're going to hug, they're going to kill]
On March 27, a terrorist attack occurred in a European country, and the Chinese embassy was bombed, killing two diplomats in the explosion. An extremist group claimed responsibility for the incident.
At 2:23 a.m. on April 2, the extremist group's website was hacked, and all recruitment announcements for the extremist group on the world network suddenly disappeared, replaced by a list of the extremist group's core personnel.
Signature, glabellar ruler.
Signed, "I will wander into the darkness and without a land]
In four months, three things, this eyebrow ruler with its iconic image and language style has gained hundreds of millions of fans in Maandala. Now in the entire hacker circle, the most discussed thing every day is the eyebrow ruler. This eyebrow ruler is accurate, sharp, and vigorous, and everyone judges that he is definitely not a novice, but an experienced old hacker.
However, no one has been able to find out where he landed from. Except for the fact that he is basically certain that he uses Chinese as his mother tongue and is proficient in English, he cannot judge any other private information. People with good deeds have analyzed all the well-known hackers in the past, but they can't guess whose new Avatar the eyebrow ruler is.
According to Fang Chi's news, the 19th Bureau included the eyebrow ruler in the list of key hackers on April 3, but in the later options, Zhao'an? Cooperate? Observe? Surveillance? Catch? …… No one has yet made the final choice.
Maandala officials have also sent an invitation to the ruler between the eyebrows, but there has been no reply.
Fang Chi landed on Maandala. In her room, she manipulated Lacrimosa to check her mailbox, which was empty. After the funeral, she shuttled into the dark web to find a video of Sheng Yan's death. However, He Xinyi and his mother said that Shi Zhengrong, director of the 19th Bureau, had swept the entire network and did not leave any traces of this video. She sent a request before, and now there are two or three replies in the encrypted message column, Fang Chi contacted anonymously, and quickly judged that the other party gave a phishing link. She blocked these people.
Fang Chi pulled down the contact list, and しと was still silent gray. Reboot's avatar is lit up, but with a "busy/do not disturb" label. She ignored the label and sent a message to Reboot:
——Did しと go on the line later?
Reboot's reply was quick:
- Nope.
Fang Chi was slightly relieved, but he felt lost. Why? I know it's not him.,But I still vaguely hope that しと can be back online.。
- Did "Ice Crack" follow later? I've found the guy and I'll get the seed in a few days.
- Oh my God...... We're all going crazy! Where is there still an air traffic tube "ice crack"?
Reboot's anxious, irritable voice came. His Avatar is still not moving, apparently not wearing force feedback gear, but in working mode.
- What happened?
- Just look outside!
Reboot shouted frantically!
- Maandala's virtual electronic display system has been invaded by the glabellar ruler!
Lacrimosa stood up with a "boom"! When I opened the window and looked out, sure enough, the electronic display screens that could be seen on the street had turned into the face with huge, widely spaced eyes! The screen makes a "whoosh" sound as if the signal is being interfered with, and the face is also broken into pixels, becoming distorted, and looking extremely weird.
Fang Chi manipulated Lacrimosa and ran out. The road was crowded with Avatars who ran out of curiosity like her.
"It's a ruler between the eyebrows!"
"What is he going to do this time?"
"There must be important news to be released!"
"I'm looking forward to it! Don't you think every time he releases something that makes him happy? ”
"Yes! That extremist organization has done so many bad things before, and this time it even bullied us! I can't wait to break them to pieces! The ruler between the eyebrows darkened their website and exposed their heads, which is simply doing what every one of us wants to do! It's so handsome! ”
Lacrimosa walked all the way to the bustling neighborhood, only to see that all the billboards along the way had turned into eyebrows, the dense light boxes, billboards, and giant square screens with the most popular celebrity advertising photos in the bustling neighborhood...... All down!
The road was crowded with Avatars. Fang Chi had never seen so many clusters of Avatars, thousands of people and faces, and there were no surprises. The avatar in Maandala is based on the initial generation, and can also be designed with silver coins. Those who are wealthy tend to be richly dressed, their faces more delicate and delicate, and their hair fluttering more soft and realistic. However, people who are not willing to pay to retouch their image tend to have a blurry face and rough pixels when they look closely.
Suddenly, an Avatar shouted! "Look at the sky!"
The sky also distorted.
The strange face of the ruler between the eyebrows covered the entire sky.
The crowd boiled.
Fang Chi was still on the real-time conversation with reboot, and she vaguely heard reboot scolding angrily:
- I/!
The sky in Maandala is naturally not a real sky, it is system-generated, with the sun, moon and stars, as well as wind, frost, rain and dew. There was once a corporate giant who was willing to pay sky-high advertising fees, hoping to use the sky of Maandala for an advertising campaign, but Teng Hua firmly refused.
However, now, the sky was easily taken by the ruler between the eyebrows.
The glabellar ruler invaded Maandala's environmental simulation system.
In the sky, the huge eyes between the eyebrows began to turn. The eyes in all the displays start to roll, as if the whole world is filled with thousands of pairs of eyes, staring at you all at once! I'm watching you! Even Fang Chi's stagnant heart felt magical and crazy!
He spoke.
“…… Blood-Eater...... Hell now! ”
The voice seemed to have been filtered many times, and it was still extremely hoarse; It seems to be constantly reflected back and forth between the peaks, with a thick echo. However, there is a strange emotion that can stir up people's hearts and make people unconsciously obey.
After a long silence, the Avatar group suddenly waved their fists and erupted in a neat roar:
"Cannibal Blood! Hell now! ”
"Cannibal Blood! Hell now! ”
"Cannibal Blood! Hell now! ”
Slowly, the face between the eyebrows faded and was replaced by a video footage.
Lacrimosa's face darkened as she watched.
……
"Ah Shi, fortunately you are in the hematology department today, otherwise Ding will ...... if he loves him" On the phone, the woman couldn't cry, and Lao Ding sighed heavily.
Xie Weishi just got off the bus and walked on the road. "Actually, it's not me, thanks to ...... Thanks to that girl, who is what Ding Ai called the 'long-haired sister', she stopped the traffickers. He said as he walked, thought about it, and told them, "I was in the hematology department, and I saw that there were indeed people selling blood products under the 'Rui Blood Changsheng' brand, so you must not buy them cheaply, remember?" ”
When I entered the community, I saw the landlord, Mrs. Qiu, standing in the corner of the yard, as if wiping her tears. Xie Wei was a little curious. In the past, this time was usually the time for the old men and old ladies to dance square dances and do aerobics, but now Mrs. Qiu is alone on one side, and everyone else is gathered in the small square, but they don't dance, just stand in twos and threes, talking heads and ears.
Xie Weishi walked over from the edge of the small square, and an old aunt grabbed him: "Hey, young man, it's the house you rented from Sister Qiu, right?" She poked her head and pointed at Old Lady Qiu.
Xie Weishi nodded and said, "Yes." ”
The old aunt called out "hey", lowered her voice and said to Xie Weishi, "Young man, you have to be careful." Sister Qiu's wife, she has just been found out to have an A-shaped disease! ”
Xie Weishi's first reaction in his mind was: Oops.
There is a community hospital in the community, and after he tested the big bag of "Ruixue Changsheng" human coagulation factor medicine, he threw it into the medical garbage classification of the community hospital, waiting for centralized destruction.
Mrs. Qiu's wife also has hemophilia, and the family has no financial resources, so she depends on the rent of two houses in the community. Now that it is becoming more and more difficult to buy drugs for human blood clotting factors, isn't it that Mrs. Qiu went to rummage through the medical waste and picked up the waste medicine for her wife?
