The machine was still humming, and countless indicator lights were flashing like stars.

He pointed to the server that was still flickering with a faint light.

"Give me a map of Akihabara right now. You guys have been here for so long, you should know it pretty well!"

"I need to know that besides us and those ubiquitous monsters, there's no one else in this area."

"What other 'players' like you exist, hiding in the shadows?"

"This shouldn't be difficult for you."

"..."

Kong silently looked at Su Chen.

Su Chen also calmly looked at the sky.

This is a test.

The test is whether [Blank] truly submits or is merely feigning compliance.

If they provide a true and detailed map, it will prove their sincerity.

If they are hiding something or playing tricks.

Su Chen didn't mind letting them experience what it's like to be treated like lovers.

finally.

Still empty-handed, they've already lost the battle.

That's it.

When you encounter such an unreasonable troll, what can you do besides just give up?

He gave Su Chen an "OK" sign.

That expression was exactly like that of a corporate slave who had been driven crazy by the client's "I have one last little request" and was about to spend the whole night revising the draft.

"Understood (ラジャ)."

……

The next hour.

Yukino, Utaha, and Yui were fortunate enough to witness it firsthand.

What defines a true genius?

[Blank] The brother and sister, after sitting back on their wasteland-style throne.

Kong, in those already languid and empty eyes, shone with a light as brilliant as stars.

His fingers moved across the virtual keyboard composed of dozens of screens, creating countless afterimages.

In her white pupils, the rapidly refreshing data stream was reflected, as if the entire world (bjdc) had been deconstructed into the most primitive 0s and 1s in her eyes.

"Bai, take over all the operational city surveillance networks in the Akihabara area, including the police system, traffic system, and servers of private security companies."

The empty command was as fast as reciting a rap, but every word was crystal clear.

"Mmm," Bai responded with a soft, nasal sound.

But her hands had already turned into phantoms.

"Very good." A confident smile appeared on Kong's lips.

"Next, activate all connectable devices and conduct a full-area, indiscriminate energy signal scan. Filter out all non-monster life signal sources from this ocean of data."

"receive."

after an hour.

As Dang Kong yawned and stretched, he stepped down from the throne—a throne so uncomfortable that even an ordinary person would find it uncomfortable to sit on for a minute.

On the largest display screen on the wall.

A 3D map of Akihabara, filled with scientific annotations and densely packed information, has been presented to everyone.

Power system distribution map, urban surveillance network coverage map, material storage points for large supermarkets...

Everything was presented to everyone in the most intuitive and clear way.

The value of this map is immeasurable in the apocalypse!

What's most eye-catching are the filtered signal sources on the map, flashing with different colored lights.

The red dots represent monsters.

And in this "red ocean" that almost completely swallows up the entire Akihabara.

An extremely stable and extremely dazzling blue dot.

It stands alone, like a lighthouse in the darkness, shining brightly in the very center of the map.

That's the tallest landmark in Akihabara.

—UDX Building.

"what is this?"

Yukino Yukinoshita, with her keen insight, was the first to notice this unusual and unusual signal.

Kong walked forward, pointed at the blue dot, and the relaxed expression on his face, which had just finished his work, vanished instantly, replaced by a solemn look.

"This signal source is very strange."

"It is neither the chaotic and negative energy reaction of a monster."

"It's not a life signal like that of humans."

"It's more like a..."

His finger swiped lightly across the virtual screen.

The map zoomed in instantly, then zoomed in again, finally settling on the internal structure diagram of the UDX building.

"An artificial intelligence that is evolving and improving itself at an extremely high frequency?"

"And look."

"It is constantly invading and rewriting all the physical defense systems around the UDX building... electronic access control, surveillance cameras, fire sprinklers, everything is under its control."

He looked at the blue dot on the screen and stroked his chin.

"This guy's skills... are pretty good. (;′д`)ゞ"

"It's not just about defense; it's also about learning and evolving."

"Is it possible..."

A near-mythical legend circulating among the world's top hackers flashed through his mind.

"Is he the holder of the legendary 'The WorldLog'?"

Chapter Sixty: The Ghost Legend of Akihabara

"The WorldLog?"

Su Chen looked at Kong's expression, which seemed to be like Columbus discovering a new continent, and raised an eyebrow in confusion.

This guy is spouting some slang he can't understand at all again.

However, this is not important.

The important thing is…

His gaze fell upon the huge 3D dynamic map.

That mysterious Blue Dot, located in the heart of Akihabara, within the UDX building, shines with a cold blue light like the only beacon in the night.

"Interesting." A playful smile curved the corners of Su Chen's lips.

……

Half an hour later.

On the top floor of the SEGA building, the war conference mode was activated.

"Cough cough."

As the team's newly appointed "Chief Technology Officer" and "Chief Game Strategy Analyst," Kong cleared his throat and took the lead in expressing his views.

He pointed to the signal source, which was still steadily emitting a blue light on the screen, like a heartbeat.

He analyzed it in the tone of an extremely professional veteran player:

"First, one thing can be confirmed."

"This 'blue dot' is not very aggressive."

"Judging from its behavior of only 'building nests' and not 'expanding,' it's like those neutral monsters in Warcraft maps that occupy gold mines but will never pay attention to you unless you actively attack them. Therefore, I determine that it is a 'neutral' unit."

"Based on my experience playing tens of thousands of RPG and RTS games, there are usually only two possibilities for this type of unit."

He held up his two fingers, which looked somewhat pale from a long period of inactivity, like a professor giving a lecture.

"First, it is a 'high-level quest NPC'. It may be carrying 'key items' to unlock the next stage of the main quest, or 'hidden technology blueprints' that can completely upgrade our team's base."

“Second,” a smile suddenly appeared on his face, filled with a morbid excitement and a strong desire to challenge,

"It's a 'hidden world boss.' If we can team up and defeat it, we might get 'legendary' epic equipment and unique rewards that could change the entire battle!"

"..."

His analysis, so full of a game-like feel, left Yukino Yukinoshita and Utaha Kasumigaoka speechless.

Yukino's lips twitched uncontrollably.

She really wanted to remind the other person that this was fucking reality, not some VRMMORPG!

Shiyu held her forehead and let out a sigh that only she could hear.

'Idiot, hopeless. This guy's brain has been completely formatted by the game…'

Yui Yuigahama, standing next to him, listened with shining eyes, looking at Sora with admiration: "Wow! Sora-kun, you're so amazing! You know so much!"

(☆▽☆)

"No, Yui, don't let him lead you astray!" Yukino and Utaha cried out in unison in their hearts.

"Let's not worry about what it is for now."

Su Chen tapped the table in time, pulling everyone's attention back from the off-topic "game strategy" train of thought.

"The problem now is, how do we get in?"

"According to the scan just now, the monster density around the UDX building is the highest in the entire Akihabara, without exception. Moreover, there are 'guardian' type monsters patrolling the entrance of the building 24 hours a day."

“Forcing our way through is definitely not a good idea,” Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly, looking at the dense cluster of red dots on the map.

"Even if Su Chenjun is very strong, he will suffer huge losses if he is entangled by thousands of demons. The rest of us don't even qualify to be cannon fodder."

"Perhaps, we can try..."

"and many more!"

She hasn't finished speaking yet.

He had been typing rapidly on the keyboard of the computer next to him, which was connected to the main server, like a butterfly flitting among flowers. Suddenly, as if he had discovered a new continent, he shouted out!

"Hey! You scumbag boss! And everyone else! Come look at this!"

Everyone was drawn to him by his exclamation.

On the empty computer screen was a forum with an extremely rudimentary interface, full of retro BBS style. It was clearly built by the survivors themselves using the remaining network resources after the apocalypse.

The forum's name is both chuunibyou (a Japanese term for someone with delusions of grandeur) and fitting for the occasion—【Tokyo Final Survival Channel】.

Most of the posts on the forum were filled with an atmosphere of despair and struggle.

Some were exchanging information about supplies, some were posting the coordinates of safe houses in certain areas, and many more were posting distress signals that might never receive a response.

However, one post, which was highlighted and locked by the moderator with the highest privileges and was full of "urban legend" vibes, instantly attracted everyone's attention.

The post's title was written in a blood-red font—
