"Master Rubin, what's going on?" Frank's voice on the phone was a little panicked.

"Don't ask, hurry up and come to the company, I have an urgent matter for you." Rubin also felt that his behavior just now was a little out of control, took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and admonished on the ground.

"Okay, I'll be right over." Frank said, and hung up the phone.

Ten minutes later, Frank showed up in Rubin's office.

"Master Rubin, what's going on?"

"Eve can't be reached." Rubin said.

Listening to Rubin say this, Frank was relieved, Eve is a distributed intelligent system, the system function does not depend on a single network intelligent unit, its reliability and stability are difficult to compare with ordinary software, under normal circumstances, unless all the intelligent units on the network are broken, otherwise Eve will not have problems, and it is impossible to be contacted, and the number of intelligent units owned by Eve has reached millions, and the probability of all problems with intelligent units at this level is infinitely close to zero, so Rubin can't be contacted, It must not be Eve's system, but his operation, so Frank decides to see for himself.

Rubin stood up and gave up his place to Frank, who operated directly on his computer.

After Frank sat down, he opened the software specially used to communicate with Eve, and now entered a few normal commands into it, and found that Eve did not respond, so he entered a few hidden commands that only he knew, and broadcast a forced response command to the network, once Eve received this instruction, she would be forced to answer.

After this order was given, Frank was full of confidence, but after waiting for nearly a minute, and did not wait for Eve's answer, his confidence suddenly fell from the peak to the bottom.

"How?" Rubin asked on the side when he saw Frank's face gradually change from relaxed to grim.

"It's okay, it's possible that Eve is evolving herself." Frank says that he doesn't know exactly what Eve is actually doing, and that the so-called self-evolution is just to deal with Rubin.

"Self-evolution?" Rubin didn't know much about Eve's technical details, so he didn't know whether Eve could evolve herself, but the word "self-evolution" brought him infinite reverie and made him excited.

"Yes." Frank nodded stiffly, his voice a little strange because he was a little weak.

Rubin trusts Frank's technology very much, and because he is immersed in the longing that Eve can bring him greater benefits after evolution, so he didn't find Frank's abnormality, and said with some excitement: "Great, Eve's intelligence will definitely improve a lot after evolution, and the reference and decision-making that can be provided to me will inevitably be more effective, by the way, Frank, how long does it take for Eve to evolve?" ”

"Because Eve's intelligence is very high, some of which are similar to biological life, and the evolution time cannot be measured by ordinary computer algorithms, so there can only be an approximate range of how long the evolution time is, and no one can determine exactly how long it will take." Frank Hu said, his hands did not stop as he spoke, and he slammed the keyboard, and the information on the screen kept scrolling rapidly, and the information was also a trick to bluff Rubin.

"Are you sure?" Rubin frowned, he was disappointed by Frank's answer, and he was counting on Frank to come and help him solve the problem, but he didn't want to solve the problem for a while.

"yes, not sure." Franconia affirmed.

"How long will it take?" Rubin asked again.

"If it's fast, it's an hour, and if it's slow, it's not necessarily a day." Frank kept the time frame as wide as possible in order to give himself some leeway.

"Okay then." Rubin didn't get the information he wanted, and was even more disappointed, but he didn't doubt Frank's words, but the family couldn't delay the explanation, so he told Frank to continue to stare at the computer in the office, and once Eve finished evolving, let him know as soon as possible, and he went out to run errands.

Frank saw that Rubin believed his words and left the office, secretly relieved, and easily cleared the information scrolling on the screen, and then tried other methods again, contacting Eve, but after all kinds of methods, it still didn't work, which made him feel that things were not normal.

"What went wrong?" Frank held his chin and stared at the computer screen with a frown, pondering, and after a short pause, he entered some more commands and sent probes to some of Eve's known intelligent nodes, and soon received feedback from those intelligent nodes.

From the feedback, Frank was able to tell that the smart nodes were normal.

"The smart node is normal, why didn't Eve respond, could it be that he was hooked by that Adam on the Internet?" Frank was puzzled, because of the practice of the names Adam and Eve, he couldn't help but think of it in his heart, but then he felt that his association was too absurd, Adam should be a person, or an organization, and Eve is a network distributed intelligence system, and more importantly, Eve's existence is highly confidential, only a very few people such as him and Rubin know, Adam and his organization will definitely not know about Eve's existence, let alone hook her away.

Frank has detected some intelligent nodes, and the feedback information he gets shows that there is no problem with these intelligent nodes, and he can't help but feel very puzzled in his heart, and he feels more and more that Eve's sudden loss of contact is extraordinary.

"Maybe Eve is really evolving." Frank was at a loss for a moment, and even began to believe the lies he had just deceived Rubin.

Time passed little by little, Rubin never returned, Adam was still pressing on the authority of the religious circles, the impact of the crisis of faith was becoming more and more extensive, and the situation gradually developed out of control, and the authorities of various countries were trying their best to maintain the stability of their own societies on the one hand, and at the same time mobilized various forces to track down Adam's whereabouts.

All of Adam's remarks were disseminated through the Internet, and he also hijacked several portals as the main front for publishing his own remarks, so the main breakthrough in tracking down Adam fell on the computer network, in this process, computer security experts, hackers naturally became the main force, but after a period of time, almost everyone felt Adam's superb technology, and the difficulty of tracking down his whereabouts.

And this difficulty not only did not make the hackers flinch, but made them excited, and even more computer security companies, cybersecurity experts and hacking groups, as well as some individual hackers hope to be the first to find Adam, so that the world can make a name for themselves with this incident, so that while the crisis of faith continues to develop and intensify, there is also a fierce competition in the online world.

Many hackers because of the disappearance of the restraint of faith, wantonly release the evil in their hearts, and through this carnival to transfer it to the network, while looking for Adam, they are also wantonly destroying the network, looting, using a realistic metaphor is like a group of bandits who know that they will not be punished enter the village, making the network jump for a while, chaotic.

The hustle and bustle on the Internet, Frank, who was in Rubin's office, knew it very well through the Internet, but he didn't participate in it anymore, not that he didn't want to participate in this hacker carnival, but because he had another constraint in addition to his beliefs, that is, blackskull, blackskull would not interfere too much with the behavior of its core members, but this time it was an exception.

While Frank was waiting in Rubin's office, the carnival on the Internet made him itch, so he logged into the chat room where he communicated with other Blackskull core members, the purpose of which was naturally to talk about the incident with other hackers of his level, but he unexpectedly got a notice from the top of Blackskull, in which Blackskull restrained the core members above S, allowing them to participate in or assist in tracking down Adam, However, they are not allowed to take this opportunity to engage in black hat activities.

This notice surprised Frank, but he didn't dare to disobey it, and he couldn't do black hat behavior, but white hat behavior was indeed allowed, but the evil in Frank's heart had been released, and he couldn't do black hat activities, which made him feel bored about white hat behavior, so he simply didn't do anything, and became a complete bystander in this carnival of network hackers.

In the blink of an eye, Rubin came back from outside, looking very depressed, such a major event as the crisis of faith in the whole society was too heavy for him, and most importantly, without Eve's assistance, the day's efforts did not have much effect.

"Hasn't Eve evolved yet?" Rubin asked.

"Nope." Frank replied that after so much time, Frank was less and less confident that Eve could still be contacted.

"Frank, I've worked hard for you, let's go back and rest first, I'll guard here, and I'll contact you if there's something." Rubin wanted to be quiet in his office and give himself a space to think, so he sent Frank away.

Frank walked out of Rubin's office and down the stairs, and before he could get out of the door, there was a sound of footsteps behind him.

"Mr. Frank, you wait."

Frank turned his head to see that it was Rubin's secretary.

"Mr. Frank, boss, please go back immediately." The secretary ran over and said to Frank.

"Could it be that Eve has appeared?" As Frank followed his secretary back, he was secretly speculating.

"Frank, come over here and see if my computer is poisoned." After Frank pushed the door and entered Rubin's office, Rubin waved at Frank, which also denied Frank's speculation on the way to come.

Frank walked over and walked up to Rubin's computer, but he was shocked to see what he saw, at this moment, Rubin's computer screen turned into a white background, on which was a glittering angel with a text bubble next to the angel's head.

"Do you want to rule the world?"
