Chapter 664: "The Battle Between Special Hackers"

Chapter 664: “The Battle Between Special Hackers”

That afternoon, Zenan used his special ability to connect to the Sloan Family’s networking system before trying to find the hacker. 

As a special hacker, when they infiltrated the network, they would enter using their consciousness. 

From the outside, the special hacker would look as if they’re glowing in blue, covered with slight electric currents. 

Their eyes were blank, and they looked vulnerable to any physical attack. 

However, their consciousness was currently roaming inside the complicated network, like a fish in the pond. 

Usually, the consciousness would take the form of the real body’s mini version– a.k.a, the chibi version. 

Thus, if another hacker is infiltrating the Sloan Family network right now, they would see a transparent chibi resembling Zenan. 

The chibi was swimming along with the dense lines of data while looking to the left and right, wanting to find the other hacker. 

The battle of special hackers depended on how strong their consciousness was and how deep their understanding of the ‘battlefield’, which was the world inside the network– a world of data. 

Zenan might be a new special hacker, but with his family’s grooming, his consciousness was way stronger than people of his age. 

A common strategy to temper one’s consciousness was to throw them into a virtual world and make them survive. 

Another way was to make them fall into a coma and agitate them with countless nightmares. If their consciousness were strong enough, they would wake up in no time. 

In other words, if shamans had to temper their souls, the hackers had to temper their mental strength. 

They had to endure stress, trauma, and other vicious things to the mind, slowly making them antisocial and a bit gloomy. 

That’s why many hackers were slightly insane or people with a mental disorder that could be sociopaths or other dangerous beings. 

Zenan was lucky to have his friends since he was a child. 

Thus, even when the hacker’s training was tough for his mind, he didn’t lose his characteristics and could still retain his mind thanks to his friends. 

Right now, the boy was swimming inside the network with his consciousness, and in just a few minutes, he managed to see another chibi of a young adult squatting somewhere near a firewall. 

The firewall should be the defensive measurements that Ainsley’s people put in order to protect the blueprint data. 

If the chibi could breach the firewall, it could steal the data and send it to another computer. 

The reason why normal hackers couldn’t compare to special hackers was because of this. 

The special hackers worked way faster and were harder to be detected by normal hackers. 

It was the reason why Ainsley’s IT teams only discovered the hacker after a few days. 

Second, the special hacker could destroy one’s program or networking or database efficiently without leaving any traces. 

If normal hackers wanted to retrace special hackers, it would be impossible because the one they had to trace was just a wisp of consciousness, not data traces. 

Not to mention that special hackers could store data inside their consciousness and send it to another database or network in a matter of seconds. 

They were faster than supercomputers and were the ideal virtual thieves! 

And so, the moment Zenan spotted the chibi trying to break the firewall with his arms and legs, Zenan instantly flew toward the chibi and landed a surprise kick. 

BANG! 

The chibi was thrown a few meters away from the firewall and landed on the virtual network’s floor with a loud thud. 

“Uh!!” The chibi let out a cute groan, yet the voice undoubtedly belonged to a young adult around 25-30 years old. 

The chibi groaned over his back that got kicked while trying to stand up. 

“Y-you! Who are you?!” The other hacker scrambled to stand up as he looked at Zenan in horror. 

He didn’t realise Zenan’s presence at all, ah! This is a taboo for a hacker. 

They should have been adept in detecting other people’s consciousness to protect their own consciousness inside the network. 

But how could he not know that Zenan is here? 

Of course, he wouldn’t. Aside from being a hacker, Zenan’s family was an assassin family for generations. 

He was also trained to hide his consciousness’ presence and attack others in the dark. 

Right after the other hacker asked that, Zenan was already gone from his original place, hiding between many data streams. 

The network data world was often dark, with only a few light strands coming from ongoing data or other programs. 

Thus, for an assassin-type hacker like Zenan, the network data world is his homeground. 

Without waiting for the other hacker to react, Zenan already stealthily approached the chibi from behind and…

He chopped the chibi’s neck! 

The chibi was so shocked that his chibi body flickered, almost disappearing. 

The moment one’s consciousness disappears, the original body would fall into a deep coma for a long time or would directly turn into a fool. 

How could the hacker be willing to turn into a fool forever? 

Before Zenan could attack, the chibi was already running for his life toward the networking gate leading to the computer that he used. 

“Ahhhh! Spare me! I don’t want to be a fool!!” The chibi ran with all of his might and soon disappeared from the networking data world. 

The chibi should have returned to the original body’s mind, and the hacker cut off his ability. 

Seeing this scene, Zenan clicked his tongue in disdain. 

“What a coward. His chibi body is denser than mine. He should be stronger. Who would have thought that he’s so cowardly?!” 

Zenan grumbled internally as he walked to the path where he had come in before. 

He won the battle without any excitement, ah!
