Infinite Terror: Infinite Reversal

Chapter 569 Leak

"So now you know how much we'll have to cover for you after this one slap on the forehead?" Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses and looked at Zhang Jie helplessly.

Zhang Jie, who was with him, chuckled twice, guessing that the other person on the other side probably had the same expression. After all, Liu Xi was usually quiet, but when she did speak, she didn't say anything nice... Zhang Jie scratched his head and said, "It's okay, the situation is already set. Even if you don't smooth things over, it won't be a big problem."

Mu Xiang couldn't help but rub his forehead: "Yes, yes, you see, it's not a big problem... but the thought of a problem makes me feel uncomfortable all over."

Zhang Jie felt a little guilty. Even though he could see the state of his split soul in his consciousness, he still couldn't help but glance at the projected mental image. After a while, he chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I've calculated it, and the state of my split soul is still very good. It should be able to cover up most of the problems now."

“Okay… then write some supplementary code, just to make a token effort,” Mu Xiang said to Liu Xi on the other end of the headset.

Even without the headset, Mu Xiang could hear her response. Liu Xi maintained a calm expression, neither flustered nor annoyed: "If Zhang Jie's judgment is correct, then the problem is indeed not serious. I modified the environmental data at the end of the battle, so it won't be easy for them to determine the outcome based on the damage to those data spaces."

"But... that deleted data file is highly suspicious, and the real mastermind behind it is probably me."

Mu Xiang raised an eyebrow: "Oh? What do you mean by that?"

They are not the type to repeat their conclusions without reason. If they repeat a sentence, it is most likely because they have found new evidence.

"After the data deletion entity was trapped in Zhang Jie's battlefield blockade, I had no more worries... I looked at the parameters behind this number and found its name."

"What is it?"

"Adam... Adam. The first human being, and also the being that God bestowed upon humanity using Himself as a model. I think this name must have a deeper meaning?"

Mu Xiang shrugged. When he heard the name Adam, his first thought was of Adam in the Main God Space... Come to think of it, Adam shouldn't have joined the Celestial Team yet.

He thought for a moment and then asked, "Can we find out what Adam is exchanging data with? According to previous intelligence, this deep network has servers, but the servers are not on Earth. If I'm not mistaken, these lackeys on Earth are just an insignificant group. The location of the servers and the whereabouts of Adam's data might point to the location of the mastermind."

“I can’t find it yet, but I’ll find it soon,” Liu Xi said calmly. “This data deletion entity is a creation far beyond the current technological level. Although I’m not a professional programmer, I can still find interesting details by analyzing it with True Insight. Adam’s form of existence should be limited by the level of Earth’s deep network… I can sense that there is something behind it, but it is different from data transmission on Earth.”

Mu Xiang couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, I know why you said it would be quick... because Zhang Jie's situation has most likely already been transmitted back, right?"

“I have no intention of speculating about what kind of information and intelligence system aliens have,” Liu Xi said. “But it seems that Zhang Jie did not block everything from the beginning, right? As long as Adam saw him at that time, it is very likely that he would remember this very problematic guy. And what Zhang Jie blocked later could only prevent the judges from seeing it, but it was not enough to block the transmission of that kind of more advanced information.”

"To put it bluntly, you mean the main character is about to appear... You've become naughty, even missing information is considered a good thing," Mu Xiang chuckled.

Liu Xi chuckled and teased, "Isn't it obvious who you learned it from?"

Mu Xiang pushed up his glasses: "Then the rest is simple... The deep network has essentially been compromised. Next, we just need to make a big fuss and let the Earthlings and those mysterious guys realize something's wrong." Looking at Mu Xiang's faint smile, Zheng Zha and Zhang Jie felt a familiar sense of foreboding creep over them... and then Mu Xiang disappeared from the room.

Zhang Jie muttered to himself, "These two are really something. They have my mental connection with them, but they still insist on using a headset..."

Zheng Zha shrugged, but smiled maliciously, "You don't understand. Using mental power to communicate is ultimately not as effective as hearing the other person's voice in person."

"Oh, so that's what you were thinking..." Zhang Jie chuckled.

After laughing for a while, Zhang Jie recalled what Mu Xiang had just said and couldn't laugh anymore: "Speaking of which, did he just reveal some information? Was I careless?"

Zheng Zha was taken aback for a moment, then asked in surprise, "Huh, you're not worried, are you?"

"This is my mission after all. I'll definitely feel uncomfortable if I don't do it well!" Zhang Jie glared at Zheng Zha.

Zheng Zha shook his head: "That's wrong. If you ask me, you've already completed your mission... First, you've infiltrated and blocked the deep network, and second, you've made the mastermind discover that someone with abnormalities has appeared."

"Really?"

Zheng Zha coughed: "Of course, Mu Xiang said this long ago. As long as there is action, there will inevitably be new information... and there is no way to completely cover up the information. The key is what information we give to the other side, and how their reaction can be to our advantage..."

"Hiss...you brat." Zhang Jie didn't even bother to watch how his split soul was wreaking havoc. He circled Zheng Zha twice, confirming again and again that Zheng Zha hadn't activated the third-tier gene lock. "You were actually able to analyze it? You've finally figured it out?"

Zheng Zha rolled his eyes: "Give me a break. I've done this kind of dirty work a lot, of course I know what they're thinking... They send us to do the dirty work just because we leak information so naturally, like it's not acting."

"Is that a nice thing to say?!"

Mu Xiang left the room. The progress here was faster than he had expected, so some tables had already been overturned ahead of schedule. Except for the surveillance camera in Luo Gandao's room, which had to be destroyed, the surveillance cameras in the other rooms were still in use... However, since they had all gathered in their own rooms, they couldn't make the cameras work properly.

Even if we disregard the United States, we must consider that these guys are, intentionally or unintentionally, accomplices of the aliens... They are both the ruled and the forces that help the outsiders rule over nearly half the world's population. So after Zhang Jie gave them a hint, those monitoring them were completely baffled. They couldn't remember anything as soon as they left the monitoring screen, but they would be confused whenever they looked back at the screen.

Therefore, it would be easy for Mu Xiang to catch those guys... This matter does not require the Allied Powers to intervene. Currently, the Central Continent Team has a good relationship with the Allied Powers' Mechanical Dragon, but they cannot trust them in this kind of matter.

Unless... that subtle electromagnetic wave influence is eliminated.
