Chapter 4 Shadow·Endless Pursuit

About ten meters away from the front of the shadow (the distance of the online world) is a huge black hole, the area is larger than the entire Times Square, and everything that falls into it will disappear immediately. Since the unscrupulous eco-terrorists launched attacks around the world in recent years, the destructive power of terrorist activities has continued to escalate. The scale of such explosions is only small in the real world, but it is a big event in the online world.After all, the protection program has been activated here for a long time, and if someone intends to sabotage it, it will be blocked before making a move—if you are not a master among masters.

Black holes are originally a term in astronomy. What is really inside, even astronomers are at a loss.However, it is definitely not a good thing.The same is true for black holes in the online world, which may be caused by program bugs, maggots, or deliberate damage. The violent explosion just now damaged several streets and trapped tens of thousands of people inside (the number is still rising sharply).Some people driving in the sky even stopped the aircraft to watch what happened from a height, not to forget to take pictures and videos as souvenirs for showing off. They keep a long distance from the black hole of the Internet. After all, if they fall into it, they will be infected by viruses at least, or disappear in nothing at worst.God knows?

The sabotage program isn't very explosive, but it must be so new that even the protection program can't prevent it, but the defense system has collected data for it.The system maintenance program carefully rebuilds and repairs the damaged places at a speed of 10MB by 10MB, and also tries to restore the destroyed people. Due to the large area, the restoration will take a long time, estimated to take at least 24 hours. The sign on the street said so. Shadow doesn't care about repairs, he only cares about hitting the target.The opponent should be completely wiped out, right?Only when it is affirmed that the target has been eliminated, has been terminated, or other terms related to death, can the merit be considered complete.

However, he wasn't sure yet. It only took one shot to release the sabotage program called "Hundred Ghosts of the Night" within 50 seconds, almost destroying half of the network causeway, and dozens of policemen swarmed in front of the shadow.The words POLICE on their uniforms are shining brightly. None of these dozens of police officers are formal law enforcement officers, but authorized network administrators, half of which are artificial intelligence programs, and the remaining half are volunteers. Some volunteers put on uniforms online because they failed to become police officers in the real world, to compensate themselves psychologically and enjoy themselves.

Shadow is not afraid of them, and ignores them. At this time, another shadow appeared. The color of this shadow body is much lighter, translucent, walking from a distance, passing through the shadow's real body, staring at a certain point in front of him, then pulling out his gun, firing fiercely, hearing a very deliberate sound After the dramatic explosion, most of the street ahead quickly became a black hole. As for the target that Shadow wanted to kill, it was also translucent, and he almost caught him several times, but he moved very quickly and fled three streets away, just in time to grab into the grating.

"Reenactment" is over. Dozens of police officers surrounded the shadows from the front, rear, left, right, and overhead, and some of them took out their cameras and kept taking pictures. "See what you've done." "What weapon are you using?" "Don't talk too much, take him down and talk." The guy who seems to be managing the program said, speaking in a very standard way. Shadow thought, these people in front of him are really a mob, and they don't speak very professionally. A few extremely unprofessional police officers put away their cameras and stopped taking pictures, and instead took out their guns.

"Submit obediently and follow us back." It's like a dialogue in a movie. "But, where are you going?" Another person asked. "We have a police station!" "It's just for fun, it can't be real." Shadow thought that this bunch of guys were really rubbish, but they just put on their uniforms to enjoy themselves, and said, "I know where you are going." "Where?" they asked back. Shadow didn't answer, but lifted the corners of his mouth in disdain. He quickly drew his pistol, so fast that almost no one could see clearly and had no time to react.

He fired a series of dense red lights to the front, back, left, and right above his head. The people who were hit stopped immediately and could no longer move. Some of them stood on the ground, some were suspended in mid-air, and some even had only half of their bodies left—there was a problem with the program itself and the bugs had not been eliminated. Like a stereoscopic photo. — Vulnerable. Shadow has no intention of entangled with them, it is important to continue chasing and killing the target.It's a pity that the other party has already jumped into the grating, and I don't know where to escape.

No matter how you say it, let's leave here first, it will be troublesome if there are too many people.He has destroyed the landmark of the Internet Causeway Bay, no one will let him go, and he will be pursued relentlessly. He looked around, there was no one around, and there were only images left in the online world, which had lost contact with the real world at all. He activated the stealth program and turned into an invisible man Shi Shiran and left the scene. Being invisible in the online world is no easier than being invisible in the real world. In the online world, it is strictly forbidden to make its own color invisible or transparent (unopened humanoid software is an exception).In addition to interfering with the operation of the reconnaissance program, the stealth program also has to forge the refraction of light, mislead the visual program, and make people appear invisible. It involves a lot of complex mathematical operations and slows down the speed of movement in the online world.

However, it doesn't matter. Shadow's first task is to leave the scene properly.He has already laid a net, and the target cannot escape from his palm no matter what, just let that guy survive for a few more hours. He can wait.
