[In 2014, as technology advanced, electronic products beca increasingly important in people’s lives.]
[Bloom Company developed the urban intelligent managent system ctOS, tasked with monitoring and managing the entire city, the project ultimately implented in Chicago]
[ctOS indeed helps the Governnt manage the city, but it also faces significant risks.]
[The life trajectories of all citizens are crystal clear within ctOS, leaving no privacy to speak of]
[Under such circumstances, the hacker organization DedSec caused chaos by invading ctOS, aiming to alert the citizens to the dangers of the system]
[There are other hackers, too, who invade ctOS to achieve their goals—like the individual you’re about to make contact with, Aiden Pearce.]
[Your interaction with Aiden Pearce will take place via a certain hacker forum]
[Aiden Pearce: Offering a bounty for security network information of the rlaut Hotel.]
A string of text appeared on the computer, and Skye raised an eyebrow, "So, this Mr. Pearce is planning to hack into the hotel? What’s he up to?"
Lille shrugged, "The hotel’s security is managed by the ctOS system, you could offer him so help, and then you’ll know what he’s up to."
Looking back at the computer, sure enough, a string of neatly packaged code popped up, along with a schematic of the ctOS subnetworks deployed in the hotel.
So complete... doesn’t seem fabricated.
Skye pointed at the computer, "So boss... if you’re saying you’ve already completed the system construction, you could just send the manual, why bother having play this text ga?"
"To get you more acquainted with the capabilities of the product you’ve developed, you will play the role of a hacker during this process, hacking into the refined version of ctOS."
"Alright... I’ll give it a try then."
After reviewing the data, Skye suddenly felt that ctOS was indeed a very impressive intelligent city system.
But as a hacker, the more secure sothing claims to be, the more they want to tinker with it.
After looking over the data, Skye gave it so thought and followed up with a post on the computer—she also wanted to try hacking into this system and see just what Mr. Pearce was planning to do.
[Skye: I have it, but I don’t want money. I just want you to send back data to , you know, for learning purposes.]
[Aiden Pearce: If it’s just technical data, that’s fine, deal.]
"Let’s see what Mr. Pearce is up to—boss, can you spoil it for ?"
Lille shrugged.
Of course, he knew what would happen next.
Aiden Pearce and his partner Damian were plotting to hack the hotel guests’ bank accounts, but unfortunately, this hotel was no ordinary hotel.
About ten minutes later, Aiden reappeared on the forum—
This ti it was a private ssage, and the tistamp showed it was already two days later on his end.
[Aiden Pearce: Who the hell are you? Damn it, you played !]
[Skye: What are you talking about? What about the technical data we agreed on? Can’t you deliver?]
[Aiden Pearce: It’s all fucked! My partner’s been targeted by a cleaner, there’s a bunch of encrypted videos in the hotel, and there’s a hacker watching over there!]
[Aiden Pearce: This job was supposed to just be hacking into hotel guests’ accounts for money, but now we might have been exposed!]
Skye was taken aback—cleaner?
A line of small text popped up on the ga interface:
Cleaner: Professional assassins, rcenaries, experts in cleaning up sses; as long as you pay them enough, they can do any dirty work for you.
Encrypted video? Cleaner?
Lille continued, "Mélot Hotel is a place for the powerful, the Mayor of Chicago, aldern, they all co here."
Without needing Lille to go on, as soone who once aspired to be a hacker digging up secrets, Skye imdiately realized these videos were not so simple.
For now, they still needed to keep Aiden Pearce stable—because at that mont, a window popped up in the text ga:
[Please note, the contact might sever communication.]
Skye’s mind raced, and imdiately typed:
[Skye: Listen, I don’t know what you’re talking about, but if you were caught during the invasion, hackers could trace your entire Chicago network through your information.]
[Skye: You’d better lay low for a while, do you have family? Stay away from them.]
[Aiden Pearce: Damn it! I shouldn’t have taken this job!]
The communication ended, the conversation interrupted.
Now Skye’s curiosity was piqued—Lille’s ga... was a bit too real.
Curiously, Skye asked, "It’s my first ti hearing about a text ga where you can type and interact, boss, what kind of black tech is this?"
"Don’t worry about that, your earlier assessnt wasn’t wrong. If the other hacker has ctOS access, Aiden’s family will certainly be targeted.
You can now boldly guess what those videos are about, and what will happen to Aiden afterward.
But personally talking, you can try to save Aiden’s family first."
Skye stroked the keyboard: "If the hackers really have ctOS access, aren’t they likely to be the developers? Developers... Bloom Company, isn’t that our company?"
"You can think of it as a possible direction for our company’s developnt. In any case, although it’s a text ga, you can see a complete world from Aiden’s experiences.
All the technology, schematics, and maps needed in the ga will appear on the computer. Have fun playing."
Lille finished speaking and patted Skye, who was frowning tightly.
"Oh, and don’t forget about your job. The data that appears in the ga is all solid technology, don’t underestimate this ga."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Aiden sent a ssage.
[Aiden Pearce: You were right, the cleaner showed up, my niece and nephew have been admitted to the hospital, the doctor says Lena might never wake up...]
[Aiden Pearce: I put them in danger, I should have listened to you, I thought you were trying to lure away.]
[Aiden Pearce: Help , help find who’s targeting , who’s behind the scenes.]
[Skye: I’m sorry to hear this, but I’m just a regular hacker—if you want to find out these things, I suggest you start by hacking into ctOS.]
[Skye: ctOS would have access records, and if all this started because you saw those encrypted videos, you should also see what’s actually in the videos.]
[Skye: Whoever the content of the videos threatens is naturally responsible for these events.]
[Aiden Pearce: Makes sense, I’ll find them.]
[Skye: Listen, I thought our cooperation wouldn’t go this deep, but since we’re to continue, I have to tell you my demands.]
[Skye: I want to know what Bloom Company is up to, what’s in those videos, deal?]
[Aiden Pearce: Deal.]
The thoughtful, eager expression confird to Lille that the girl had entered the zone.
Good, that’s how you should work, with energy and drive.
Lille quietly left the studio.
John had left him a list of things to handle, and he had to tackle them one by one.
