Digital Hackers' Memories

"Snowball Beast...has it left?"

In her beautiful bedroom, the girl watched as the golden fox and the blue dinosaur flew hand in hand into an unknown space and time, and a strange feeling suddenly stirred within her.

"Snowballmon, will we ever meet again?"

In the dark room, Meimei asked herself.

"Yes, we will definitely meet again."

Whether it was a woman's intuition or simply a refusal to admit defeat, Meimei nodded seriously, firmly believing in her own thoughts deep down.

"Meimei? Are you awake?"

So when Mimi pushed open the door and walked into the candlelit hall, the voices of the Tachikawa couple came from the entrance.

"Dad, Mom, welcome home!"

Seeing her parents walking home hand in hand, Meimei immediately broke into a big smile and ran towards them with open arms.

"Today I'm going to tell you a story about the 'Snowball Beast'!"

......................................................................................................

"That brother and sister..."

At the same time, on the balcony of another apartment building not far from Mimi's house, Sora was looking at the Yagami siblings, who had survived the ordeal, with a slightly dazed expression.

Or to be more precise, ever since Taichi took the whistle and faced his inner fears and trembling like a hero, Sora's gaze has never left him.

From the start to the end of the battle, the brother and sister who seemed to know one of the "monsters" never left the battlefield.

Even the two other little monsters that joined the battle later seemed to have joined because of them.

So now Suna is very curious about who those brother and sister really are.

And why did you get involved in this battle?

More importantly, Sora greatly admired the courage Taichi displayed during this process.

Sora has always been a girl who lacks courage. Even when scolded by her mother, she only dares to hide away and sulk by herself instead of choosing to defend herself.

Suna is very aware of her personality flaws and longs to become an outgoing and cheerful girl.

However, personality is not something that can be changed overnight. Whenever Sora encounters setbacks, she instinctively hides away, which has gradually become a habit.

But when she saw the courage that Taichi showed in protecting his sister and guarding Agarodon, Sora suddenly felt that her own cowardice and affectation were utterly insignificant in comparison.

If she had to use words to describe Suna's feelings at this moment, she could only use words like amazement, envy, and admiration to describe her longing for that little boy.

How wonderful it would be if I could have the same fearless courage as that little boy!

"I want to change."

Thinking of this, Suna looked down at her hands, a resolute glint in her eyes.

"I don't want to disappoint my mom, and I will definitely become as brave as her."

As Suna murmured, a strange feeling took root in her heart at that moment.

Suna's intuition told her that she would definitely see that little boy again someday in the future.

By then, I must become more outgoing and cheerful, and become a girl who has the courage to communicate with the person I admire.

PS: This volume has come to a perfect end. The beginner's village mission—witnessing history—is complete. Next up is the era of hackers.

Chapter One: The Dark Web God of War

Time flies, and a month has passed since the last Mitsuoka incident.

When Chen Ze returned to his original world, he felt as if he had just woken up from a dream, and he was still a teenager when he woke up.

As for Agumon, Snowballmon, Blackballmon, and even the fleeting blue Agumon, they all seemed to be just some kind of fantasy in his dream.

However, Chen Ze, who had regained his human form, knew very well that it was not a fantasy, but a genuine journey to another world.

In that adventure in another world, I participated in one of the major events in the Digital World—the Hikari-oka Incident—and played a supporting role that was similar to that of an "observer".

Besides himself, another mysterious fox spirit was also involved in this incident.

In fact, Chen Ze still doesn't know how he ended up back in this world. The specific details are probably only known to the cryptic fox beast.

Chen Ze now has reason to suspect that the reason he was involved in the "Hikari Hill Incident" is very likely because he was implicated by the fox demon.

"what are you thinking about?"

Just as Chen Ze was lost in thought, a voice that only he could hear came from his earpiece. The voice was crisp and loud, and seemed to reveal a faint elegance.

"I'm wondering, what else should I buy?"

After skillfully typing in a URL that resembled "garbled text," Chen Ze navigated through several relay servers before finally entering a webpage dominated by black and blood colors.

This is a special dark web specifically used to sell software and tools needed by hackers. It usually requires complicated methods to break through the outermost firewall and officially enter the webpage.

Chen Ze's previous EDEN virtual reality glasses were purchased through this channel.

If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't buy the high-end equipment he wanted through normal channels, Chen Ze wouldn't actually want to buy anything from this website.

It's just too troublesome, and the premium is quite high.

If Chen Ze hadn't been a highly skilled hacker with his own insights into cybersecurity, he wouldn't have even bothered with the dark web.

"What a boring bunch."

A quick glance at the overflowing data on his screen told Chen Ze that someone was scanning his current IP address to search for his real identity and address.

This is the so-called "dark web," a dark realm hidden beneath the normal network environment, unrestrained by any rules.

Collecting personal identification information, misappropriating other people's account passwords, and even directly stealing other people's credit cards...

This is one of the most common things that unscrupulous dark web hackers do to ordinary dark web users.

In fact, this is also why Chen Ze doesn't like shopping on the dark web, because without national-level monitoring, transactions here rely entirely on the personal reputation of the merchants.

The dark web that Chen Ze is currently logged into is quite good; in terms of both scale and platform services, it is relatively legitimate, and unexpected situations are rare.

Even so, some self-proclaimed highly skilled hackers exploit website vulnerabilities to intercept and sell traders' personal information.

Therefore, Chen Ze never registers or logs in to his usual accounts and passwords on any network whose background he doesn't know. Instead, he uses special software to temporarily generate relevant account information.

This time is no exception. Even if the hacker does intercept Chen Ze's current password, it is impossible for him to deduce his commonly used account passwords from this password.

The only thing that troubled Chen Ze was that this hacker seemed to be a rather knowledgeable guy, actually planning to use the server he was redirecting to to get his real IP address.

"It seems it's been a long time since I've been here. Someone has actually forgotten my title of 'God of War'."

............................................................................................................

"Pale-faced God of War?"

On the other side of the world, a greasy middle-aged man sitting in front of his computer looked at the ID he had just acquired, and his expression suddenly changed.

While the title "Pale White War God" may sound childish, in some people's eyes it has a destructive power no less than that of a regular cyber police officer.

Especially on the dark web, where hackers run rampant, this title is even more troublesome than that of professional official institutions.

Because users of this title never conceal their account names, even hackers with a little technical skill can obtain and intercept their account names.

But apart from that, they were unable to crack any further information, including passwords, email addresses, or other personal details.

In other words, on the dark web where everyone hides their identity, someone who dares to use the same name repeatedly is undoubtedly a hacker who is very confident in their skills.

"Wasn't this guy missing for a long time? How come he's back?"

The greasy middle-aged man frantically typed on his keyboard, disregarding the expensive server he had purchased, and directly deleted all the data inside.

The next moment, unsurprisingly, a huge pop-up window appeared on the greasy middle-aged man's computer desktop.

I will find you! Even if you clear all the logs, it won't help.

A slightly sinister smile crept across the corner of his mouth. The greasy middle-aged man looked at the provocative pop-up on the desktop, having no doubt about the "Pale God of War's" skills.

He just felt that this chuunibyou was too arrogant, so arrogantly that even though he knew the other party was also a top-notch hacker, he would let the other party know what it meant to be arrogant and domineering.

"Find me? Let's see if you have the ability!"

After hesitating for a moment, the greasy middle-aged man decisively turned on another computer next to him. He planned to use a massive amount of junk data to blast the dark web and completely destroy the other party's way of tracking him.

However, to the greasy uncle's surprise, the moment the thought crossed his mind, a huge pop-up window appeared on his computer screen again.

Moreover, what appeared on it this time was actually a dynamic golden cartoon fox spirit.

"How can it be?!"

His eyes widened in surprise. In the greasy middle-aged man's mind, there were indeed many hackers who could intrude into and recover server data, but there were definitely very few who could do both of these things in such a short time.

"Why isn't it possible?"

As if having a real-time conversation with a greasy middle-aged man, the golden fox suddenly let out a cartoonish laugh.

"who are you?"

Seeing this, the greasy middle-aged man forgot about attacking the dark web and quickly began to analyze the source and origin of the video, intending to obtain the other party's address through this method.

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid you'll have to go to the police station yourself before you can find me."

As the golden fox finished speaking, the greasy uncle's computer screen automatically redirected to the official website of the local cyber police.

"no, do not want!"

Watching helplessly as his real address was exposed as an image on the website's main interface, the greasy middle-aged man let out a desperate scream.

"You chuunibyou, you kemonomimi-obsessed idiot! I'll never forgive you!"

As someone who dares to fish in the dark web, this greasy middle-aged man may not have a great image, but his strength is undeniable.

Therefore, it goes without saying how much of a stir his story will cause in the hacker community once it becomes public.

Chapter Two: Electronic Currency

"Actually, I could have identified him without your intervention."

Chen Ze glanced with some pity at the greasy middle-aged man groaning in front of the computer, then turned to look at the fox demon that "occupied" a corner of the screen.

"I know, I just wanted to test out the hacking skills I had just learned."

The cartoonish laughter instantly transformed into an elegant smile. Renamon watched the hacker on the other side of the world with great interest, not at all feeling that his behavior had gone too far.

"Or are you unhappy that I stole your 'prey'?"

Chen Ze glanced at the fox spirit, who seemed to have learned to joke, and could only roll his eyes helplessly.

"I just feel that your current image is somewhat affecting my reputation."

In the world of hackers, the title "Pale White God of War" may be a bit childish, but no one can deny his mystery and power.

However, Renamon's direct "showing" will likely add another layer to the already chuunibyou (delusional) image of "Pale God of War": "That guy is a beast girl fetishist."

"Image? I think it's fine this way."

Rather than simply warning the opponent with a pop-up window, Renamon felt that appearing as a "golden fox" would better highlight the power of the "pale war god".

"That's too flashy. Are you afraid people won't be able to find me?"

Although that's what he said, Chen Ze didn't force the fox demon to change her current behavior.

After all, youth is wasted if you don't have a bit of a chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur). Although Chen Ze doesn't like to show his face in public, it's quite interesting to do some outrageous things occasionally without revealing his true identity.

"Let's not talk about that for now. What are you planning to buy?"

Browsing quickly through the various items traded on the dark web, Chen Ze soon forgot all about the greasy old man.

He wasn't risking his life to log onto the dark web for those bored hackers; he had important business to attend to.

"I need a more efficient CPU; your computer has too little space."

Seeing this, the fox demon's attention was immediately diverted, and it began to accompany Chen Ze to tour the items being traded.

It must be said that compared to legitimate shopping websites, the things sold on the dark web are indeed very bizarre, with all sorts of electronic devices whose names are hard to identify displayed for viewers to choose from.

The fox spirit even saw a high-definition camera among them, labeled as having been removed from a "discarded military satellite".

"If possible, I would also like a high-definition camera."

Even without seeing the fox demon's specific expression, Chen Ze could imagine the way it looked, as if it were seeing stars.
