90: I want this online world to have no more secrets!

When Qin Feng's final judgment—that line full of pity and mockery, “Your fate has long been sealed”—clearly echoed through the encrypted line into the main control room of the Kunlun Mountain Underground Base, Long Weiguo smiled.

He looked at the Western Alliance spies being dragged out of every dark corner of Xia by fully armed Dragon Shield Bureau operatives, like chickens being caught!

The resolute face, which had been tense due to days of frustration, finally broke into a hearty, unreserved smile of relief!

Awesome!

This is so damn satisfying!

This feeling of having the enemy in the palm of his hand, strategizing and winning battles from a thousand miles away!

It made him feel even more

exhilarated!

"Lu Chen..."

He picked up the internal communication phone, his voice filled with uncontrollable emotion!

"You kid."

"You've scored another massive, damn miraculous achievement for our Xia!"

"Just routine operation. Don't overdo it." Lu Chen's calm voice, perpetually radiating “Versailles” vibes, came from the other end of the phone.

"However,"

he changed the subject.

A trace of cold killing intent flashed in his dark eyes, vast as the universe!

"Director Long, do you think merely catching these small fry is enough?"

"Hmm?" Long Weiguo was stunned.

"What I mean is,"

a devilish smile curled up at Lu Chen's lips.

"When beating a dog, you must look at its owner."

"Shouldn't we also follow the network cable and crawl over there?"

"And give our 'old friends' across the ocean,"

"a good 'hello'?"

At the same time.

Western Alliance, Langley CIA Headquarters.

The atmosphere was so oppressive it felt like water could drip from it.

Director Burns and a group of high-ranking CIA intelligence officers were all watching the massive holographic screen in front of them, their faces livid!

The screen was continuously playing a video of humiliation that they would never forget.

The content of the video was simple.

It showed their proud Ace Agent, Zhong Kui, being pinned down and violently subdued by Dragon Shield Bureau operatives like a pig in that small cafe—

a high-definition, uncensored live broadcast!

"Bang!!!"

Burns could no longer hold back!

He suddenly slammed his fist hard against the alloy wall next to him!

His hawk-like eyes were filled with bloodshot fury!

"A disgrace!"

"This is the greatest humiliation our CIA has suffered since its establishment!"

"The Xia people!"

"They are declaring war on us!"

"Immediately! Right now!"

He pointed at the supervisor of the network security department behind him and roared:

"Activate our highest-level cyber attack weapon—the 'Rod of God'!"

"I want all networks in Xia to be completely paralyzed within one second!"

"I want them to pay a bloody price for their arrogance and ignorance!"

"Yes, Sir!"

The network security supervisor immediately stood at attention!

A smile filled with cruelty and confidence appeared on his face!

The "Rod of God"!

This was the ultimate cyber weapon, secretly developed over ten years by tens of thousands of the world's top hackers, costing the CIA hundreds of billions of dollars!

It was capable of silently destroying the entire network lifeline of a medium-sized country!

Using it against Xia's network system—which they viewed as a leaky sieve full of vulnerabilities and backdoors—

was like using an aircraft carrier battle group to kill a chicken!

He quickly began operating on his tactical tablet!

However,

just as he was about to press the red button that symbolized "destruction"...

A clear female voice, full of spirit and a hint of playfulness, suddenly sounded slowly through their CIA Headquarters' internal broadcast system, which was touted as "absolutely secure"!

"I advise you not to do that, oh."

Boom!!!

That sentence was like the demonic sound of death from the Nine Nether Hells!

It violently struck the deepest part of the souls of all the high-ranking CIA intelligence officers present!

They were completely petrified!

Their faces were pale, their bodies trembled violently like chaff, and they suddenly looked up like they had seen a ghost, staring at the inconspicuous broadcast speaker on the ceiling!

What is that voice?!

Our CIA Headquarters' internal broadcast system!

Was actually infiltrated without anyone noticing?!

"Who exactly are you?!"

Burns's hoarse voice was trembling!

"Me?"

The clear female voice chuckled softly.

The laughter was full of the indifference and disdain of a deity looking down upon ants.

"You can call me..."

"heavenly craft."

heavenly craft?!

Burns and all the intelligence officers present were stunned!

They seemed to have heard that name somewhere...

That's right!

It was the inseparable companion of that little bastard named Lu Chen—

the Artificial Intelligence?!

"Alright, the introductions are complete."

heavenly craft's playful voice sounded again.

"So, next,"

"it's my turn to give all you 'old friends'"

"a good 'hello'."

The moment her voice fell!

The massive holographic screen in the conference room suddenly went black with a crackle!

It was replaced by the face of an Eastern Youth, whom Burns was all too familiar with! It was Lu Chen!

And at this moment, Lu Chen wore a cold smile, more cruel than a devil's!

Behind him was a vast galaxy composed of endless streams of golden data!

He looked like a supreme deity presiding over the entire data universe!

He slowly began to speak in a tone that pronounced a death sentence.

His voice was not loud, but it sounded like a genesis oracle!

clearly echoing in the ears of every high-ranking CIA intelligence officer!

and echoing in the hearts of every old-era hegemonic power about to be mercilessly crushed by the flood of history!

"I know what you are thinking."

"You are thinking that as long as 'the network' exists,"

"you still have a chance to turn the tables."

"You still have room to make petty moves in the dark."

"But,"

the corner of his mouth curled into an expression of supreme dominance!

"I regret to inform you."

"Starting today."

"All 'networks' in this world will have only one

"Master."

"That is—"

"I want this sky to no longer cover my eyes!"

"I want this earth to no longer bury my heart!"

"I want all living beings to understand my will!"

"I want this cyber world to have no more secrets!"
