The two âDecryption Codesâ automatically opened, and the crawling data decompressed wildly.
"No, no, get away from me!"
The various malware on the second Spider Woman immediately activated, blowing up resources one by one, but a large amount of resources still poured into her body, spewing data torrents from every spider eye the size of a fist.
Eventually, every piece of malware was filled with resources, and the second Spider Woman was forcibly dissolved into source code.
Then, her body slowly sank.
The â7th Spider Womanâ shook her head.
"To build a system, hire a proper programmer, hiring hackers is courting death."
The ground disappeared, and a giant sphere half the size of the âSaint Domingo Districtâ appeared in front of the â7th Spider Womanâ.
This spider sphere was composed of countless âCrawler Spidersâ, with religious code spilling out as the spiders moved chaotically.
Among them, several oversized âCrawler Spidersâ were still struggling, surviving âSpider Womenâ, though clearly unable to hold on much longer.
"Divinity, when you break it down, is just root access, isnât it, you two âSuper Administratorsâ."
The âSpider Sphereâ slowly opened, and two figures emerged.
Nightmare, Mr. Pintou.
However, their bodies were entirely composed of âWeb Crawlersâ.
Numerous spiders raised their heads, revealing Mr. Pintouâs face as he laughed, "Itâs not that easy, decrypting religious code truly took us some effort."
"Detecting a special IP, this hacking style, itâs you, Prototype!" Nightmareâs unique raspy voice rang out.
The 7th Spider Woman, no, Gao Gong, smiled:
"Let me guess again, after decrypting the religious code, you started building virtual machines in secret, but âVirtual Machine Imageâ is easy to create, making it unnoticed is quite hard."
"So, you borrowed Illusionary Unionâs server, didnât you?"
"Espionage within espionage, you guys."
"Hackers sometimes also moonlight as âBusiness Spiesâ, " laughed Mr. Pintou, "Does it matter whoâs paying us, what do you say?"
"Makes sense," Gao Gong shrugged, "Then congratulations on successfully flashing the device, shall I leave first?"
"Iâm afraid itâs not that simple," Mr. Pintou said ominously, "Last time when Paradise Bird big sis fought with us, it was you pulling the strings, wasnât it?"
"Of course, given your relationship with big sis, we naturally wonât hold it against you, but while we might not, others might."
"After all, weâre just working for someone else, you see, boss."
A spider dangled down, its head slowly turning around, revealing a face with golden glasses.
Hugh Laurie
"Nice to see you again, hacker gentleman."
"How many virtual personalities do you have now, President," Gao Gong praised, "Should I praise you for being like a cunning rabbit with multiple burrows, or call you truly perverse?"
"Presumably, the contents of this agreement include borrowing the âSpider Goddessâ, hacking into Mechanicâs Data Hub, right?"
"Youâre bad!"
Hugh Laurie showed a refined yet beastly smile, and the next moment, the mountainous âSpider Giant Sphereâ disintegrated, with overwhelming Web Crawlers swarming towards Gao Gong.
Gao Gong took a deep breath and without a word, directly fled.
However, in the next moment, âData Spidersâ kept falling from the â7th Spider Womanâ, with each drop her figure dimmed a bit.
No matter what type of hacker, everything starts with âinformation interactionâ.
But hacking with religious style can remotely make âdata convertâ, making it far harder to defend against than ordinary âpassword retrieval intrusionâ, âremote control intrusionâ, or âTrojan horse intrusionâ.
When activated, it often has no warning signs.
âDaisilaâs speed is a bit slow, if the opponent hacks into Mechanicâs âData Hubâ before us, it would be a tough game.â
...
On the other side, the Daisila being mumbled about by Gao Gong, had already broken into the Deep Web Weaverâs territory.
A strong carbon fusion entity, personal attributes equivalent to a level forty to fifty Mother City elite, equaling half a dimensional strike in Mechanical Cityâs map.
In addition to the internal map given to her by Gao Gong, the â7th Spider Womanâ, she was basically an unbeatable force.
Soon, she broke into the underground factory of the Saint Domingo District.
"Is thisâa human manufacturing plant?"
Looking at all the odd-shaped humanoid species before her, Daisila had a strong sense of déjà vu.
Professor Hanâs laboratory seemed similar to this, except the chambers there housed Radiation Beasts.
As a native of the Mechanical Split Star, she had little feelings towards such experiments, as human experimentation was legal in the Cyber Test Field.
However, she was surprised to find that every living person here had extremely round heads and bodies, and very small limbs, making them appear like human-shaped gourds or spider-shaped bodies.
Daisila then realized where her strong déjà vu came from.
"Theyâre really spiders."
Daisila shook her head, swiftly weaving between the Nutrition Chambers, her peripheral vision sweeping across to notice that, aside from experimental personnel in the Nutrition Chambers, there were members of the Deep Web Weaver.
Strange women with gloomy expressions and countless implant sockets on their heads.
At this time, each of them lay inside, limbs trembling and frothing at the mouth.
With Spider Perception, Daisila noticed the violent chemical changes in their bodies.
âBacklash of fan economy?â
This saying came from the boss, though she had asked at the time what âfanningâ meant.
The boss had responded, "Fans" who "fan" "Silk", wouldnât those be fans.
"Donât get it."
Using a web, Daisila bypassed protection nodes, quickly slotting âMemory Chipsâ into the data processor.
According to the boss, these memory chips were originally bought from the âDeep Web Weaverâ, now being put back to good use, returning to their source.
As for what was stored on these chips, the boss didnât say, but she could guess it was likely âvirusâ related.
But could just a virus take down a large gang?
Daisila vaguely expressed doubt.
The Deep Web Weaver, werenât they major virus producers?
"Done!!"
As the last chip was inserted, Daisila dexterously flipped in mid-air, climbing on barely visible silk threads, hovering in mid-air.
"So, what will happen?"
Nothing happened.
But the next moment, Daisilaâs hair stood on end.
Tens of thousands of holographic projections popped up instantly.
All were of her!
Her childhood self, her teenage self, herself in the Iron Sand Desert.
Some experiences she had forgotten, yet her life played out like a third-person movie, all appearing in the projections.
"Dai...sila?" an electronic voice spoke.
"Who are you really!?"
"Who am I... I am you... and others."
"Everyoneâs memories, are my memories."
"Everyoneâs sensory data, are my data."
"I am..."
"I amâ"
...
In Cyber Space, the â7th Spider Womanâsâ data was almost entirely crawled by âSpider Crawlersâ.
Turns out, relying solely on the 7th Spider Womanâs skills, even if Gao Gong crazily showed off operations, couldnât last long.
"Prototype, we certainly wonât just destroy this one IP avatar of yours."
"In fact, weâre quite interested in your crazy skill at manufacturing IPs."
"Mr. G, the truth proves that humans canât fight against corporations."
"Youâll become a legend in the Nightless City, but only a legend."
The â7th Spider Womanâ smiled painfully, spitting out a Crawler Spider, saying word by word:
"I, Mr. G, have survived up to now relying on three things: being ruthless, loyal, and having lots of rich ladies!"
"You can take the first two as bluster, but the third, you think Iâm joking?"
In reality, everyone raised their heads, seeing the dark clouds in the sky vanish, replaced by an endless ocean of data.
"Web Spiders? Web Crawlers? Let me show you what a real search engine is, Mother of Data, Miss Cyberpedia!"
"Welcome backâSister Eliza!!!"
