After clearing the game, I became the villain BOSS

After Qi Ling left, the scene was left in a mess.

As a rising star in the second half of this year, the fringe mercenary group has attracted a lot of attention from the outside world.

The Edge Building is a very grand building. Coupled with the reputation of the mercenary group itself, it has become a check-in point for many Internet celebrities. People come here every day to live stream and shoot short videos.

Now that the Edge Building was attacked, nearby onlookers took out their mobile phones to take photos and then posted them to their social media pages.

Netizens on social networking sites saw the relevant news and came over to join in the fun, and then took pictures too.

In this way, the news spread exponentially, and the topic "Attack on Edge Building" became a hot search topic in just half an hour.

Su Mo's cell phone kept ringing. They were all calls from acquaintances. They must have seen the messages and asked about the situation, but Su Mo really didn't have the heart to answer them one by one.

He returned to the lobby and asked Luo Mingsheng: "Do you know Qiling?"

Luo Mingsheng seemed to be in a trance and did not come back to his senses.

It wasn't until Su Mo asked the question for the second time that he blinked with a blank look on his face: "Qi Ling? You mean that girl just now? I don't know her."

Su Mo: "Then why did she say such inexplicable things to you?"

Luo Mingsheng looked very embarrassed: "I don't know either. I've never seen her before. I'm totally confused."

Su Mo clicked his tongue and advised: "Lao Luo, I told everyone who joined the group not to hide anything from me. If we encounter trouble, we will solve it together."

"If you have a problem with Qi Ling, then tell me honestly and I will help you find a solution. Don't hide it."

Luo Mingsheng looked like he was about to cry but had no tears: "Captain, I really don't know her. I'm lying on the ground for no reason. What's going on?"

Regardless of whether what Luo Mingsheng said was true or not, he was so determined that Su Mo couldn't continue to ask.

At this time, a familiar voice came from outside the door: "Captain Su."

Su Mo turned to look and was stunned for a moment: "Captain Shangguan?"

The visitor was none other than Shangguan Li. Behind her were several people wearing uniforms of Mo Xue Energy Group. They should all be Mo Xue mercenaries.

Su Mo: "Why are you here?"

Dongdong came over to answer the call: "I called. Your phone was turned off and you couldn't be contacted, so I had to find help myself first. I can't just leave a mess on the ground."

Dongdong's "self-assertion" surprised Su Mo.

Not an angry surprise, but a pleasant surprise.

Dongdong usually acts casually and has no integrity, but at the critical moment he actually knows how to stand up and help him support the situation. This is a great improvement.

Shangguan Li looked at the mess on the ground around him and frowned: "You've been a bit miserable. I heard from the second boss that you were attacked by hackers?"

Su Mo said helplessly: "Yes, the firewall we bought from Rick Company didn't hold up."

Shangguan Li shook his head: "Rick's firewall is just universal and can be used for daily use. If you really want to prevent top hackers from attacking, you must form your own information security team."

Su Mo sighed: "This is indeed our shortcoming. I haven't found a good software expert yet."

Shangguanli: "It's okay. I called our chief information security expert and asked him to take a look at it for you."

Several people walked into the underground laboratory.

The situation here is even messier than outside. There are scorch marks and metal fragments everywhere, broken instruments are lying around, and various documents are scattered on the floor.

There were also the remains of five or six small drones on the ground. The metal on the surface exploded and melted. It looked like they had been blown up by something at close range.

Shangguan Li squatted in front of the wreckage of the drone and looked through it for a while, then squinted and said, "These are all self-destructing drones, and they are all equipped with bombs."

Dongdong cursed and said: "These things are scary. When they see people, they will hit them like crazy dogs. If they hit them, they will explode."

Shangguanli: "This is how self-destructing drones are used. You should be lucky that the laboratory is underground and the elevator entrance is narrow. Drones that are too big cannot get in."

"If a drone carrying a high-yield bomb rushes in and destroys itself, not to mention the equipment, none of your researchers will survive."

Shangguanli's words frightened Su Mo for a while.

In everything he does, he always believes in "people-oriented".

If the experimental equipment is damaged, you can buy it again.

If the data sample is destroyed, it can be re-created.

When a person dies, nothing is left.

If such a core talent were unfortunately killed in an attack in the future, he would regret it so much that he would not be able to sleep at night.

Future also followed behind at this time, and his tone was quite urgent: "The underlying system of our computer has been destroyed, and all the data is gone. Can you find a way to get it back?"

Shangguanli said to the security expert: "Go and check the database for them to see if those data samples can be recovered."

The security expert came to the computer room, took out his laptop and connected it to the terminal.

Future quickly reminded: "Be careful, our hardware is all infected by viruses."

The security expert nodded: "It's okay. This computer of mine is specially used for virus checking and anti-virus. There are no confidential files."

He opened his laptop and entered the operation interface.

It can be seen that the firewall used by Mo Xue is more advanced than the one Bian Bian bought from Rick Company.

Rick's company's firewall collapsed the moment the virus file was downloaded, but nothing happened when Mo Xue's laptop was connected to the terminal.

Security experts called up the corresponding systems and began analyzing the virus at the data level.

In the future, he is an expert in the hardware field and does not know much about information security technology. At this time, he can only bite his lower lip, nervously grasping his sleeves, and eagerly watching others operate.

After some operations, the security expert sighed softly and shook his head: "No, the underlying system has been completely destroyed, and there is no way to restore the data."

Hopes were dashed, Future felt sad, squatted on the ground and started wiping tears.

Su Mo also felt sad. He put his hand on her shoulder and comforted her: "It's okay. We have plenty of time later. I will give you more funds and buy better equipment. We will slowly make up for the lost progress."

The security expert thought for a moment, then turned back and gave a preliminary plan: "Captain Su, I suggest not to repair and activate these infected devices, but to physically destroy them and replace them with new ones to prevent the virus from remaining in the future."

"Well, I understand, what about you?" Su Mo said mid-sentence, suddenly staring directly at the security expert's computer, "Is the situation on your computer normal?"

"Huh?" The security expert looked at the computer.

The analysis software specifically used to capture virus source code disappeared at some point, and was replaced by endless messy symbols, scrolling crazily on the screen.

".What's going on?" The security expert was shocked and kept trying to enter command characters, but to no avail.

The messy symbols kept rolling, finally stopped, and began to deform in unison, automatically decoding into a universal language.

There are only two words filling the screen:

【Go to death】

Shangguan Li frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

The security expert's eyes were dull: "Our firewall also collapsed. This is impossible. This is the firewall that our team has just upgraded. How could the vulnerability be discovered so quickly?"

Su Mo fixed his gaze, pointed at the computer and shouted, "Hey, there's smoke, isn't that right?"

I saw black smoke coming out of the computer cooling vent, getting bigger and bigger.

Shangguanli had quick eyes and quick hands and quickly dragged the security expert away.

Su Mo also immediately threw himself at the future to protect her.

"Bang!" The laptop Mo Xue brought suddenly exploded, and all kinds of broken parts flew everywhere.

"Bang bang bang bang -" In addition to the computers that were unplugged, the computers that were still on in the laboratory also exploded one after another, with electronic sparks everywhere.

Fortunately, this explosion was not powerful, but the black smoke smeared everyone's faces.

"Ahem, cough, cough." Su Mo waved his hands to disperse the black smoke in front of him and asked with an ugly face, "What's going on? A bomb was planted?"

The security expert straightened his crooked glasses and swallowed: "No, the virus controlled the power supply to overload, causing it to overheat and damage. This virus can not only attack software, but also hardware."

Shangguanli asked: "So what should I say? Can it be done?"

The security expert wiped the sweat from his forehead, hesitated for a moment, lowered his head and said, "Sorry, two captains, the person who created this virus is above me, far above me. I even captured the source code sample." Less than.”

Shangguanli suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

He brought people over arrogantly, thinking it was a rescue.

As a result, it was completely exploded by the enemy on the spot.

This is so embarrassing.

Although Shangguan Li couldn't help, Su Mo still expressed his sincere gratitude: "It's okay, thank you for your hard work. I'll think of a solution later. In the future, it's time for dinner, so you can take the two guests to the restaurant to have something to eat." ."

Weilai cried all morning, and his mood calmed down a little. He wiped away his tears and nodded, taking Guan Li and the security expert to leave.

Su Mo temporarily entrusted the affairs of the group to Dong Dong and others, and drove the Black Ark to An Mi New District.

Since it can't be done technically, it's better to go directly to capture Qi Ling himself.

Even if he can't be caught, there should be some clues at Qi Ling's house, which is better than staring at him in the Edge Building.

Flying over Anmi New Area requires special permission. Now that it was too late to express his feelings, Su Mo could only drive from the ground through the tunnel and drive towards Qi Ling's home just like yesterday.

While driving, he suddenly saw someone holding a black Labrador.

"squeak--"

He stopped suddenly on the side of the road, looked at the dog with his head, and quickly recognized it: "Pippi?"

"Woof!" Pippi called to Su Mo. She also recognized the guest brought back by the host yesterday and kept wagging her tail.

Su Mo got out of the car and walked towards Pippi, who was circling back and forth a little anxiously, making whining sounds from his throat.

The person holding the dog was a young woman. She asked, "Hello, are you its owner?"

Su Mo shook his head: "I'm not. Do you know this dog?"

The young woman also shook her head: "I don't know him. I woke up in the morning and planned to walk the family dog. When I went out, I saw this Labrador tied up at the door of my house. Someone also left a letter asking me to adopt it. It’s also quite inexplicable to me.”

Su Mo: "Can I take a look?"

The young woman took out the letter from her pocket: "Here it is."

Su Mo opened it and glanced at it.

It's Qi Ling's handwriting, it's unmistakable.

He actually gave away all his dogs. What was he doing?

Su Mo asked: "Madam, you live near here, have you ever seen a girl, about 1.67 meters tall, very beautiful, with silver hair and amber eyes."

The young woman thought thoughtfully: "Silver hair, amber eyes. Oh oh oh! I remember, this is her dog. We have met and chatted several times while walking the dog."

"Her name seems to be Qiling, right? A very warm and friendly little girl. Are you her boyfriend?"

Su Mo was speechless: "No, she and I. Hey, I won't be able to tell for a while. Have you seen her today?"

The young woman shook her head: "No, I only saw this dog when I went out. I fed it something, and then you came after a while."

She pointed in the distance, "I remember she lives on the mountain over there. It only takes ten minutes to drive? What's with the smoke?"

Su Mo turned his head and looked at it, his expression froze.

Black smoke was rising from the mountains not far away. Judging from its location, it was Qi Ling's villa.

"Pippi will leave it to you first. Please take care of it." Su Mo quickly got into the black ark and started the engine.

He ignored the ban and directly turned on the floating mode and flew to the villa as fast as possible in a straight line.

When he reached the top of the mountain, the sight in front of him made Su Mo's heart sink.

The originally grand and exquisite villa was billowing with black smoke, firelight was constantly spilling from the windows, firelight was jumping everywhere, and the whole building was burning.

Did he know that he would come here and burn the villa in advance to erase the traces?

Su Mo clicked his tongue and controlled the black ark to land.

There was a pond in the front garden of the villa. He jumped into it and got wet all over. Then he took off his coat, covered his mouth and nose, and rushed directly into the burning villa.

Clothes filled with water will not burn for a while, and his body has the "Dragon Flame Blood Code" he obtained previously. His body has a strong ability to withstand high temperatures, which is enough to move freely through fire.

The fire has been burning for a while, and the beautiful furniture and warm decoration have been blackened.

In the closet that I visited yesterday, the exquisite and lovely clothes, shoes and socks were burned to tatters, and the flames kept dancing on the dummy's body.

This villa is very big. Yesterday, Su Mo only went to the guest room where he slept. He never went to other places, so he could only search from room to room.

I checked every room on every floor and found no one or any useful clues.

He came to Qiling's master bedroom and looked around.

Apart from ordinary furniture, there is not even a computer.

This is unreasonable.

Qi Ling is a virus hacker and must have a lot of hardware equipment.

And in such a short period of time, she would definitely not have time to move it, otherwise there would be no need to burn the house down.

There must be some important clues here, so Qi Ling would use such extreme means as arson to erase them.

Based on previous investigations, Su Mo began to restore the three-dimensional structure of the villa in his mind.

Suddenly, he stared straight at the north wall of the master bedroom.

He discovered something strange about the three-dimensional structure in his mind.

The walls in other rooms are of normal thickness, except for the wall on the north side of the master bedroom which is very thick.

And it's not ordinary thick, it's thick enough to hold a room.

There is a darkroom inside! (End of chapter)
