Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 562 Gray
In the world of data-driven construction, a bloodless massacre is unfolding.

As Mu Xiang had predicted, the deep network of this world was incredibly sophisticated, and even Zhang Jie couldn't guarantee it would be completely flawless... All of Zhang Jie's previous methods were based on doing everything possible from his perspective. However, in the various processes he participated in as a referee, Zhang Jie couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be any problems.

But that was enough... Zhang Jie believed he could evade detection, and he did. He wasn't playing the role of a spy infiltrating enemy territory; the moment he was discovered, the executioner's blade was already at the enemy's throat.

At this point, any flaws are meaningless to either side.

At Mu Xiang and Liu Xi's suggestion, Zhang Jie waited until the perfect moment to make his move... Although, according to him, this was quite a challenge for him, given his "if you're not satisfied, you have to fight" style, he ultimately did it.

Zhang Jie himself was unaware, but Mu Xiang and Liu Xi were confident that there would be no omissions when they launched their attack at this time... They had already confirmed the authenticity of these data and the space belonging to the referee committee.

"I really don't understand how you could hold it in for so long... You're still pretending to be a good student in the Allied countries." Zhang Jie muttered to himself. This thought came from the split soul, but he figured that the Zhang Jie outside might also complain about this to his teammates and even Mu Xiang himself.

Muttering to himself, he reached out and tore a rift in the data space in front of him. A string of data that had just been encrypted was imprisoned by an invisible force before it could be transmitted.

"Interesting. What kind of backup plan has been activated?" Zhang Jie raised an eyebrow. With that referee's data as a shell, it would be much easier for him to get things done.

His entry into the deep network wasn't solely for destruction and killing... otherwise, he wouldn't have been chosen to take the lead. Possessing a data body would allow Zhang Jie to obtain more information for the Central Continent team; even if the referee's authority wasn't that high, and even if the referee committee had urgently revoked his authority after the incident, it wouldn't affect these actions.

After analyzing numerous lines of code, Liu Xi was able to grant Zhang Jie root access. The True Vision ability was a devastating blow to this kind of data technology. The data body was like a car; Liu Xi could modify it as she pleased, but first, she needed the car… that unfortunate soul who had been possessed served that purpose.

The biggest challenge was creating a data body out of thin air... because it's hard to avoid detection, so it's better to let Zhang Jie possess one. With his abilities and elevated privileges, he could even find the partition where these consciousness backups are stored.

Of course, now that Zhang Jie has officially started competing, there's no need to shy away from creating data out of thin air.

After reading the encrypted information with the highest privileges, Zhang Jie smiled dismissively. Although this meant he would have to do more work, he didn't need to create a new data identity... one data identity was enough.

Moreover, the flow of time in this data world is different from that in the outside world. What seems like an incredibly slow, interceptable information transmission to Zhang Jie is just a fleeting moment to the outside world. By the time Liu Xi painstakingly writes the new data into the data body, Zhang Jie will probably have already completed his task.

Zhang Jie casually crushed the encrypted information, and it dissipated. Only its transmission path remained active, guiding Zhang Jie in another direction.

Even concrete firewall measures are utterly ineffective against Zhang Jie. Even without the highest level of authority, his data-driven approach still possesses terrifying methods. With a mere thought, attacks aimed at erasing data are blocked by an invisible wall, and obstacles to data construction are also blasted away.

"Oh, you're quite diligent." After destroying a firewall, Zhang Jie looked at a referee who was dissipating. The member of the referee committee was unperturbed. He spread his hands and said, "I never expected to be able to stop you... You can be arrogant now, but you'll understand what you've done later."

Zhang Jie chuckled: "You don't think this nonsense can hold me back, do you? Guess why I haven't made a move?"

A hint of surprise flashed across the referee's face. It has to be said that the data analysis was quite accurate in terms of awareness. His reaction successfully amused Zhang Jie.

"Didn't you notice that your teleportation progress bar is stuck at 99.9%?" Zhang Jie shrugged. "If I wanted, I could add who knows how many more nines after the decimal point."

"you……"

With a casual wave of his hand, Zhang Jie shattered the referee's body. Without his data avatar, his consciousness would normally be protected by the data space's consciousness recovery system. But Zhang Jie shattered that consciousness as well, then nodded.

"Good, this confirms the location of the consciousness storage partition... Very good."

As a highly sophisticated data-driven spatial system far exceeding the technological level of this era, this deep network, belonging to a select few, naturally wouldn't concentrate all its data in one place. For outsiders, finding what they want within this deep network is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

But this needle in a haystack is only for those who lack information... If we could obtain a lot of information from the deep network, the needle in the haystack would have a thread to guide it, and its direction would become clear.

For the Zhongzhou team, using their enhanced capabilities to forcibly crack information in cyberspace is as simple as scooping up a handful of water from the sea!
Looking at the scattered data and the colorful decorations, Zhang Jie frowned, then made a clenching motion with his left hand. It was as if a hand larger than the entire space had grasped this data space, and the dazzling light and the intricate and incongruous architectural style all froze and then quietly disappeared.

On the one hand, Zhang Jie didn't like the referee's peculiar aesthetic sense; no matter how gorgeous the decorations were, they were meaningless to him. On the other hand, Zhang Jie sensed that something was slowly approaching from outside this space.

The thing was so large that even Zhang Jie, who was in this space, sensed something alarming. Although Zhang Jie was only a fourth-level mental power controller and a split soul of a fifth-tribulation ghost immortal, the fact that he had this feeling said a lot.

Where did it come from? Zhang Jie silently looked up, gazing at the sky above, where all the embellishments had faded.

It was a monotonous gray, with countless gray squares, some real and some unreal, stacked on top of each other—this was the true appearance of the entire data space. Uncomfortable, dim colors emanated haphazardly from the gray squares, then flickered haphazardly before disappearing in a flash.

This is a network medium that carries data space. Each medium is a data space that is difficult to measure... and that behemoth is descending here, passing through layers of partitions.
