"Could it be that the intruder from the outside ...... caused this change?"

"It's a good idea to think about it that way. If that's the case, someone should have caused this change with a purpose. What benefits can be gained by doing such a thing, is it enough to know this? ”

Saya Hua silently pondered the princess's question.

Disorderly spatial distortions, and random spatial shifts affected by the strength of the mana. I can't imagine the benefits of preparing for such a joking magic trick. Even if it is to carry out indiscriminate terrorist attacks, there should be other, more normal methods.

However, if it were to be caused by pranks or play, the magic of spatial domination went too far. Anyone who can use dangerously difficult magic can't believe that such a thing would be done in a senseless manner.

Nope-

What if space warps are meaningless in and of themselves, and the "what" that results from them has some meaning?

"Maybe the purpose of the prisoner is not to cause a spatial anomaly ......"

Saya Hua said. The princess, who was combing her beautiful hair, suddenly threw down the comb.

"I see. Spatial anomalies are just by-products, is there something else to the real purpose? This should be taken into account. In those words—"

The princess's eyes sparkled bravely, and she stretched out her hand to the holster beside the bed. The holster contained a single-shot golden pistol. Loading the gem-made ammunition into the chamber of the gun, she confirmed the condition of the gun.

"Sayaka, contact the Artificial Island Management Commune, as well as the Knights of the Ring, who are waiting at the airport. We're going to use a little rougher. This change may be more complicated than we thought. ”

"King, princess? What exactly are you going to do...... ”

While tying her long hair into a single ponytail, Saya Hua stood up. Looking at La Fria, who was more active than usual, she couldn't hide her uneasy premonition.

Looking at Sayaka happily, the princess smiled gorgeously.

"Looks like it's going to be a lively day."

……

At this time, the blue feather shallots were still in the central stone gate. Located on the twelfth basement floor at the bottom of the artificial island, the security department of the artificial island management commune.

The hemispherical compartment that looks like a jetliner cockpit is organically equipped with countless displays, keyboards, and primitive input devices with trackball stone doors, stacked on top of each other like organ keyboards. This room seems to be filled with machinery, and it exudes an unsettling sense of oppression, but for Shallot, it feels like a comfortable place like your own home.

The display on the front shows a three-dimensional image of the city in color, with a large column of numbers of unknown significance next to it. That's the result of the analysis after running the test program.

Sucking on the jelly drink instead of dinner, Shallot looked at the results, but noticed that the chat window that was opened for the purpose of talking to the artificial intelligence suddenly broke into an unrelated ID, and her face became bitter.

"Oooh——! Who do you think it is, isn't this the master of Moguke!'

The voice of the call that leaked out without authorization was a rough male voice synthesized electronically.

This is a freelance programmer who has interacted with shallots, and he is also a very orderly recruited by the artificial island management commune. Contrary to the brain-draining way of speaking, he is a fighter with a knack for repelling intruders. It can also be said to be a bodyguard hired by the commune.

"Woo wow, here you go again, these bloody troublesome guys." The shallots subconsciously spit out their sincerity.

However, the other party didn't care, and smiled arrogantly.

"Ha, ha, ha, even the "empress" has been dispatched, and it seems that the artificial island management commune has also been driven into a dead end. Ah, that's a pleasure.'

"—were you called out too, 'Charioteer'?"

"That's right. This commotion was really pleasant. Do you believe that the cause of this confusion is just a misoperation of a virus or GPS?"

"Sort of." Shallot frankly agreed with him. The other party is a hacker of the same level as himself, and there is no point in hiding it now. "But what the hell is going on? Seriously. ”

"Hmm. Complaints about road signs, incorrect operation of the car navigation system, abnormal landing guidance devices, and countless people who got lost. You can't be wrong if something goes wrong with the internet on the artificial island."

"Charioteer" said in an unexpectedly serious tone. It is worthy of him, and the information is correct.

The Artificial Island Management Commune has infiltrated every corner of Hyunshin Island with a sophisticated intelligence network to maintain the island's ecological environment. Needless to say, the supply of water and electricity, but the management of the transportation network is a small but important business.

On this artificial island, where the land is already cramped and densely populated, and almost all food and other daily necessities are imported from outside, the chaos of the transportation network will immediately have a negative impact on the lives of the islanders.

Therefore, the Artificial Island Management Corporation manages all the information on the operation of the light rail, the condition of the roads, and even the road signs on the walking paths, so as to maintain a smooth transportation network.

However, since almost half a day ago, there have been many glitches on this intelligence network.

road signs or car navigation systems that indicate a completely wrong direction; The aircraft, induced by automatic operating devices, could not find the location of the island; Lost people are constantly appearing in commercial facilities.

This is a large-scale network failure of unknown origin.

"Because of the festival, most businesses are resting, which is a great blessing in disguise. Otherwise, today's economic losses would not be worth a billion or two billion.'"

“…… Yes. I don't feel much because of the large number of tourists, but there are probably more people who get lost. ”

"Uh-huh."

With the consent of shallots, the "charioteer" said vigorously.

"However, it was a fluke to meet Your Excellency here. Truth be told, the next person can't be busy. What kind of means do you think used to attack the computer that broke through the firewall of the "Demon Special Zone"?"

"I think about it,"

Lazily burying his back in the cushion of the seat, the shallots made a lazy sound.

"Is this really a computer attack?"

Uh, the "charioteer" whispered.

"That's a strange thing. Now all the circuits on the island still have a position intelligence system, isn't it showing abnormal values?"

"However, none of the sensors and repeaters found anything unusual. There were no traces of virus contamination either. ”

As she said this, the analytical images reflected on the monitor kept switching.

All the data displayed on it indicates the fact that the network of the commune managed by the artificial island is still functioning normally.

"So, can you think so? The network is not down. The values represented by the system are correct. What went wrong was the city itself. ”

"There is an anomaly in the space around Hyunjin Island, is that ......?"

Brain attack is also understandable. That's why the Artificial Island Management Commune called the "charioteers" who were the home of the attackers. But even with his abilities, there was no trace of an intruder

However, if the failure is not an intelligence network, but a real space, the failure -

Isn't it a matter of course that a functioning network misjudges reality?

"It's not impossible, is it? This is the 'Demon Special Zone'. ”

Hearing the sarcastic language of the shallots, the "charioteer" laughed out loud.

"It's not impossible. However, the technique of space control should be divided into difficult magic. The only ones who can use it as they wish are high-level magicians at the level of practitioners, or great witches. Not to mention the technique that can affect the entire artificial island, it really can't be thought to be the work of ordinary people."

“…… And to distort space to such an extent that I don't understand any benefit at all. ”

Shallot seemed to pout unhappily, as she was upset that she herself was not confident in her hypothesis. "Charioteer" said in the same bitter voice.

"That's right. If you want to cause damage to the economy of Hyun God City, it is faster to directly install a bomb."

"No...... Wait, big sister.'

It was Mogu who intervened into the dialogue.

"If the space is abnormal, a similar phenomenon occurred ten years ago, and the records should still be in the frozen library of the SAR Garrison, and they will be regarded as important secrets."

"Records that were frozen ten years ago ......"

Following the advice of the assisted artificial intelligence, Shallot began to search the frozen library. Of course, it is illegal access in the form of forcible intrusion. This is faster than obtaining official viewing permission.

"It's actually a secret oath incident......!" The Witch of the Secretary: "What!?"

The "charioteers", who had also invaded the library, trembled and groaned. Ten years ago, the secret oath incident that shook the "Demon Special Zone" was shocked, and even the shallow shallot, who was just a primary school student at the time, remembered the commotion at that time.

"Now, Mogu ......"

"Oh?"

"Is there any clue about the criminal organization that is suspected of hacking into Hyunshin Island recently?"

Shallot asked his partner quietly. Mogu's answer was swift.

『…… In this case, the members of the LCO broke the wall and got in, and the SAR security team should be chasing after them."

"Ho Ho ...... "Library", it's a troublesome guy again."

"Charioteer" said excitedly. libraryofcriminalorganization。 Commonly known as LCOs, or "libraries", it is the name of a well-known criminal organization around the world. Ten years ago, it is said that they were also the masterminds.

"Really...... I see. ”

The worst prediction came true, and even shallots couldn't hide their anxiety. The mutations that took place throughout Hyun God Island and the invasion of LCO members. I'm afraid these two things are not unrelated.

And tomorrow will be the opening day of the Haha-in Temple. Because of the large number of tourists visiting from outside the island, the security system of the "Demon Special Zone" will enter the most vulnerable period.

"Mogu crooked, contact the Artificial Island Management Commune. I'm afraid that tomorrow, something even worse will happen. ”

What she said will become a reality, and in a more brutal form than expected.
