Chapter 268: The Man Behind the Scenes

"Anyway, just like I said earlier," Su Mo coughed lightly and took the lead in clapping, "Let's welcome the new members together, Qi Ling!" ”

In the conference room of the Edge Building, several core members gathered here, Su Mo kept clapping, and Qi Ling stood behind him, confiding in the stunned crowd, revealing a smile like a little bad cat.

Dong Dong was the first to come back to his senses, scratched his head in confusion and asked, "No, boss, why can't I understand this?" A few days ago, if you didn't return a slap in someone's face, it broke her face. ”

Su Mo was so embarrassed that his face turned red: "You have to mention that messy matter!" ”

Qi Ling's little hand knocked in his palm, opened his eyes wide, and said, "Knock knock, I forgot if you don't say it!" Silently, I can't slap you in vain, right? How do you compensate me? ”

Su Mo had no choice, sighed and said, "Then let's do it, you also slap me, and we will be even." ”

Qi Ling: "Okay, face stretch out." ”

Su Mo leaned his face over, ready to be beaten.

"Poof."

Qi Ling left a kiss on his cheek.

The conference room suddenly exploded, clapping and coaxing.

"Good guy, this girl is too good at it!"

"Boss, aren't you going back to kiss this?!"

"Okay, let's have a little meeting and trick the dog in and kill it, right?"

Su Mo was "sneak attacked" by Qi Ling in public, and his face was red to the base of his neck: "What are you doing?!" Our one-day couples game is long over, get serious."

Qi Ling grinned and grabbed his arm: "I'm very serious~"

Su Mo coughed lightly, and returned to the topic: "In short, Qi Ling will be our software engineer in the future, specializing in information security." ”

Future applauded with joy: "Great! Finally, you don't have to be harassed by those wild hackers anymore! I don't know, we have been twice in three days, and we are annoyed to death. ”

At the mention of hackers, Su Mo remembered one thing: "Qi Ling, what happened to the virus you spread?" ”

Qi Ling: "It's gone." ”

Su Mo: "What do you mean it's gone?" ”

Qi Zero: "It's that I set a command in the virus, when the hunting target loses all their vital signs, it will carry out a comprehensive self-destruction. ”

"So from the moment Luo Ming was born and died, the virus disappeared."

【Crescent City Center, Emergency Command Office of the General Administration of Public Security】

"Mr. Acting Speaker, we have conducted another round of investigation and determined that the Nemesis virus has completely disappeared."

"There are reports from the Aerospace Assault Force that all the drones that were previously out of control have been controlled, and they are counting the losses of the fleet."

"It's the same with ground combat units, all combat robots have gone into silence, and the logistics engineering department is carrying out recovery operations."

"Before we had time to study Nemesis or come up with a solution, it just disappeared? Why? ”

"I think maybe it's done its job."

Listening to the good news from his subordinates, Schenkov felt dizzy, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether this was reality or a dream.

He was ready for a fierce war, and even asked the soldiers of the front-line troops to write suicide notes, intending to use his body to destroy those out-of-control war machines.

And so it ended in the end of the night?

Gradually, Schenkov came back to his senses, and he still maintained his due vigilance: "Don't relax, let the information security team conduct a thorough investigation again, and ask the capital for assistance, send more experts over, and make sure that there is no residual virus in the latent state." ”

"Also, how is the anti-information crime team going? Have you found the person behind this incident? Even give me a long list of suspicious ones. ”

"We have to give an account! So many people died, it can't be said that the virus is gone, and this matter is over! ”

From an objective point of view, not many people died from this virus incident.

Only three or four hundred.

Let's just take the number of deaths from vicious crimes that usually occur in less than a month.

But the attack methods of the mastermind behind the scenes are too bad, directly controlling the military machine to kill people, which is completely slapping the Crescent City authorities in the face.

What's more, a small half of the dead are social elites.

If this can't be explained to the outside world, the court will have to attack the Crescent City authorities.

While Schenkov was busy with the aftermath, an assistant hurriedly ran through the door: "Mr. Acting Speaker, the anti-information crime team reports that the hacker who created the Nemesis virus has turned himself in!" ”

"What?!" Schenkov didn't know how many times he was shocked today.

Escorted by elite operatives, Schenkov went to the detention center of the General Directorate and saw the hackers who had turned themselves in.

It was a young man, wearing a black sweatshirt, with a hood over his head, with a lot of stubble on his face, and a decadent and indifferent expression.

After the operator checked the youth, he came over and reported: "There are no dangerous items on him. ”

Schenkov walked over, frowned and asked, "Who are you?" ”

The young man lowered his eyes and said, "Benjamin, you must have heard my nickname, Scorpion. ”

Schenkov's eyes narrowed.

The scorpion, which is a hacker who has become quite famous in recent years, has invaded the security systems of many cities, and has also posted several times on the dark web to openly provoke the world government, which is particularly crazy.

Schenkov: "You got the Nemesis virus that swept Crescent City this time?" ”

Benjamin: "It's me. ”

Schenkov: "Why? ”

Benjamin smiled briefly, and for some reason smiled a little bleakly: "It's fun." ”

Schenkov looked into those sad eyes, as if he could see through them at a glance.

He motioned for everyone around him to go out.

Soon, only two people were left in the room facing each other across the bar.

Schenkov: "You are lying, you are not behind it at all. ”

Benjamin: "It's me. ”

Schenkov: "You're a pretty good hacker, but your most famous action is when the city council speaker hacked into a computer and showed an adult movie on the big screen while the city council was organizing a work meeting. ”

"You have the level, but only the level. If you want to come up with this virus attack on the scale of the new Moon City, I'm sorry, I don't think you're qualified. ”

Benjamin's eyes became more and more sad, and he laughed miserably: "I said, I did it, you just take me to blame, don't say so much else." ”

"Jingle bells." Schenkov was just about to say something when his phone rang.

He saw that the number's face changed, and he quickly picked it up: "Mr. Zhao."

He listened for a long time, and his expression kept changing throughout the process, from dazed, to profound, and finally to helplessness.

The phone hangs up.

Schenkov sighed and gave Benjamin a deep look.

The latter, still with that miserable smile, looked at him silently.

Schenkov went out, found the anti-information crime team outside, and said in a deep voice: "This Nemesis virus incident, it has been determined that the mastermind behind the Nemesis virus incident is Benjamin Thomas, a cyber hacker codenamed "Scorpion", and he will be imprisoned and put into the judicial process. ”
