In the dark and dim room, only the flash of the screen is reflected in front of everyone's eyes. In front of the computer screen, many researchers in white coats are nervously carrying out their work.

"No anomalies were found in Area A."

"Everything is fine in Zone B."

"The situation in Zone C is stable and within the controllable range."

"The alarm in the forbidden area has been lifted, and it is preliminarily judged that it has been attacked, and it is very likely that the surveillance target has awakened! The first android troops have been wiped out, and reinforcements are requested! ”

"Support is allowed, heavy weapons can be dispatched to strike it........."

"Dut———! Toot ———! Toot ———!! ”

Just as everyone was rapidly exchanging information and asking for instructions, suddenly, a sharp alarm sounded. Then I saw the picture on the big screen in front of me suddenly disappear, replaced by a large "alarm" sign that kept flashing, and the entire hall was instantly covered with bright red light.

"What's going on!"

"The host has been compromised! The other party has broken through the firewall and is advancing towards the main control center! ”

"What?!"

"Oh no! Our control unit has been occupied! ”

"Stop it now!!"

“……… No way! The other party has already lifted our underlying control in advance, which is so fast! It's hardly like human speed! ”

"Hum Hum ........."

Just when the hall was in chaos, Franke smiled and stood in the middle of a group of self-destructing people who were turned into popsicles, she stretched out her right hand with an elegant and calm smile, only to see a strip of light that seemed to be moving from Franca's fingertips, shooting into the body of the self-destructing person in front of her, and then using this as a starting point, completely connecting all the self-destructing people.

"Sure enough, master, these are not humans, they are imitation robots! These robots are usually on standby, and will only activate their actions when they are ordered to do so, otherwise they will be no different from dead people! ”

"Hmph."

Hearing this, Kurona furrowed her little mouth and snorted softly. As the human radar in Pheron's team, this is still a rare embarrassment for her, and now after hearing Franca's story, the little guy finally put his mind at ease. It turned out that he couldn't detect these guys because they weren't human in the first place, and naturally they had no vital signs......... But even so, the little guy was a little upset, but she didn't say anything, but tapped the keyboard hard, as if she wanted to completely vent her anger on the screen in front of her.

"The control unit has been fully mastered......... Found out! Master! It is known as the Seventh Branch of the Society of Truth, and its main role is to ........."

However, Franke's words were interrupted before she could finish speaking, and then she waved her hand helplessly.

"Master, the other party has cut off the physical connection........."

"Leave it to me!"

Hearing Franca's words, Kurona suddenly lifted her spirits. The invasion was led by Franca, but Kurona didn't do nothing. Franke is able to invade through formal means, but there is nothing he can do about the energy network. Kurona's ability allows her to control and manipulate the energy network. Since the other party also runs various devices through the energy of the energy network, then it is naturally within the control of Kurona.

"This is it......... Got it! ”

"Woo———!"

With the sound of beeping, the originally dark screen lit up again, and looking at the scene in front of them, everyone was dumbfounded.

"How so?! Isn't there already an order to force a shutdown? ”

"We've cut off the power, what the hell is this..............."

Everyone looked at each other, completely unsure of what to do. Just now, their immediate boss ordered them to forcibly shut down the host. Of course, this will cause irreversible damage, but it is an acceptable loss compared to being invaded by the other party. But what they didn't expect was that it had just been shut down, and it turned out to be automatically restarted?

"It's simply impossible! Keep shutting down! Close it again and follow the procedure!! ”

"Yes!"

Sweating profusely, the researcher inserted the key again, then pressed the button and turned it vigorously. Logically speaking, this should force a complete shutdown of the host. But this time, no matter how much he turned the key, it didn't work in the slightest.

"Toot ———!!"

Just as everyone was sweating, a shrill alarm sounded, and then an electromechanical synthesized sound emerged from the speaker.

"Alarm, serious contamination exceedances were detected. Warning, severe contamination exceedances detected. Activate the emergency system and close the main base. Thirty seconds, twenty-nine, twenty-eight, twenty-seven seconds before the main base is completely closed........."

Contaminate? Where does the pollution come from?

Several staff members in the main engine room stared at each other blankly, and of course they knew that there was a special emergency system inside the base. But now, they're in the core, and there's a ghost pollution here......... Wait, do you say.........

"That damn bastard took control of the emergency equipment!! Let's go!! ”

One of the staff members reacted the fastest, immediately understanding what was going on, only to see him scream and run frantically towards the exit. The others also reacted when they heard the shouting, and hurriedly rushed out of the main engine room and rushed towards the emergency passage. The main base is completely closed, and if they don't leave, then they will be trapped in it!

But that's just a death throe.

"No ———!!"

As soon as they rushed out of the main room, several staff members looked desperately at the corridor in front of them, the huge and heavy alloy steel plate slowly descended, and before they could run over, they saw the separation wall "boom" down, completely sealing the corridor.

"Let's go back to the host room!"

Seeing that it was impossible to escape, everyone planned to go back to the main room to take refuge, but .........

"Drip ———"

The cold electronic sound shattered their last glimmer of hope, and the main engine room was completely sealed, and there was no way to enter it.

Immediately after, the lights disappeared, plunging everything into darkness.

"Whew......... Nailed it. ”

Franca wiped the sweat from her forehead, glanced at Kurona, and then looked at Feren.

"Master, I have activated their emergency system. Now that our enemies have been sealed in their lair, we will be able to find out what these Truth Believers are as soon as we rush over. ”

"Good."

Hearing Franca's report, Fallon nodded in satisfaction.

"By the way, you've been asked to investigate the location of the Truth Society, have you found it?"

"It's right under New York University, of course."

“……… The Truth Society is a group of rats? How do you keep drilling into the bottom? ”

Hearing this, Faeron couldn't help frowning. The branch of the Society of Truth they encountered before was also underground, and that dungeon was also underground......... But then again, because they are underground, none of these people have been affected by the surface energy network and the cataclysm. So, what's going on with these people now? The fact that Kulona was able to control their machines meant that their instruments had been infiltrated by the energy network, but what about the people themselves?

However, that's fine......... Just drop by. Thinking of this, Fei Lun glanced at the elf girl next to him who was a little nervous because of hearing the words "New York University".

"So, let's go to NYU."
