The next day, Xia Lingyue went to school to ask for leave for her brother, and then accompanied by Li Muhan went to apologize to the teacher.

Although the teacher didn't seem to know what was going on, since the parents were there, he didn't say anything.

Speaking of Xia Lingyue and Li Lingsheng, they were originally supposed to be assigned to the same class, but because of their incompatible personalities and Xia Lingyue often bullying her younger brother, Li Muhan simply sent Xia Lingyue, who had better grades, to the top class.

Li Lingsheng, who has a gloomy personality, was sent to Class 5.

Ugh.

Li Muhan was also puzzled. How could such a good child become so gloomy in just over a year?

"Study hard and don't use your abilities in school anymore, or I won't give you pocket money."

"I know, you're annoying... Go away, your classmates are watching."

Xia Lingyue impatiently pushed her father out of the classroom, while people in the classroom were also discussing at this time.

Why is Xia Lingyue's father so young?

The general class teacher is from the Special Management Bureau, so he will naturally cover for Li Muhan and quickly ask the students to prepare for class.

After leaving school, Li Muhan received a call from Su Xue.

"Sister Xue? You haven't contacted me for so long. Are you going to have a get-together?" Li Muhan said with a smile, while waving to stop a taxi.

[Mu Han, have you seen brother Zi Yu today? ]

Su Xue on the phone seemed a little anxious.

"Zi Yu? I asked him to drive me to the newly opened pedestrian street yesterday, but I didn't see him today. What's wrong?"

[…Well, Mu Han, if you have time, come to the Seventh Squad’s activity room today.]

"Okay, I just went to school and now I'm getting ready to go to work."

[School? Did something happen to Lingsheng and Lingyue? ]

Speaking of these two children, Su Xue was also a little worried.

"It's nothing, Sister Xue, don't worry, I'll be at work soon, we'll talk when we get there."

After hanging up the phone, Li Muhan heard the taxi's in-car radio seemed to be broadcasting some news.

[Recently, the holographic online game Chaos and Abyss, jointly launched by Su Group and Hami Network Technology Co., Ltd., has been launched for testing. This game has been widely praised since its launch]

Ugh.

Li Muhan sighed. Nowadays, people play holographic games. Are people like him who are still playing mobile and PC games a little behind?

After arriving at the activity room of the seventh team, Li Muhan saw the execution team and Yin Qi checking the equipment that Lin Ziyu usually used.

He realized that something was wrong.

So he walked over and asked, "Sister Xue, what's going on?"

"At about 1 a.m. last night, the Special Management Bureau detected signs of a realm opening. However, there is no record of this realm power. It is a power that has never been discovered before."

Su Xue's expression was a little serious. She turned to look at Li Muhan and said, "And this boundary power comes from this activity room. When the execution team arrived, there was no one on the scene, but the computer login ID showed that it was Brother Ziyu."

"What about Ziyuren?"

Li Muhan asked.

"He's missing."

Yin Qi walked over and said, while throwing a VR helmet to Li Muhan.

"Missing?"

"Lin Ziyu disappeared when we detected the power of the realm. The internal surveillance did not capture any impact, and we also asked the members of the Special Management Bureau responsible for searching for auras to help check. Now Lin Ziyu's aura does not exist in any corner of Tianhai City."

"......" Li Muhan looked at the helmet in his hand and suddenly thought of something: "Yes, or... check his thing..."

He spoke hesitantly, but finally said, "Check whether he went to northern Myanmar?"

"Northern Myanmar?" Everyone else was stunned.

"What do you mean?" Lin Ziyu asked.

So Li Muhan somewhat awkwardly told Lin Ziyu about his online romance with a girl named Xiaojuan, and then he suspected that Xiaojuan might be an online fraudster.

"...Brother Mu Han, Zi Yu may be a little funny at ordinary times, but he...he is not mentally retarded."

Su Xue said, covering her face.

"That's right, it seems I have some stereotypes."

Just then, Yin Qi picked up the terminal and said.

"I checked on Xiaojuan. Guess what her situation is now."

Several people shook their heads.

"That Xiaojuan also disappeared, in the same way as Lin Ziyu, she disappeared in front of the computer. Not only that, between 12pm and 1am last night, there were at least a dozen cases of missing people all over the country, almost all of them in front of the computer, and they were all playing the same game, Chaos and Abyss."

Upon hearing the name, Li Muhan suddenly remembered what he had just heard on the taxi radio.

So he quickly turned around and asked Su Xue: "Sister Xue, was this game developed by your family and Hami Company together?"

Su Xue shook her head: "The Su family is not involved in research and development, nor in operation and management. It is just an investment. The Su family is investing in many areas now. This investment is not handled by me."

"Ah... this game."

Chen Yiming, who had just joined the seventh team, suddenly pointed at the helmet and said.

"Me, I'm playing too."

Li Muhan quickly walked up to Chen Yiming and asked.

"Have you encountered anything strange in the game?"

Chen Yiming shook her head: "Well... although this game is called a holographic game, it is actually just a panoramic VR online game. There is nothing special about it. It is similar to ordinary PC games, but it has a more immersive feeling."

As he spoke, Chen Yiming took the helmet and put it on his head.

"Well, let me take a look... eh...?"

Suddenly, Chen Yiming seemed to realize something was wrong and she took off her helmet again.

"What's wrong?" Li Muhan asked anxiously.

"This..." Chen Yiming looked at the helmet a few more times in confusion, then returned it to Li Muhan and said, "...Senior Lin Ziyu, it seems that he is not playing Chaos and Abyss."

"What do you mean?" Li Muhan asked.

"It's just... Although the login interface of this game is the same as Chaos and Abyss, there are some differences in details."

After listening to this, Li Muhan also put on a helmet.

The login interface of Chaos and Abyss slowly appeared. It is indeed a very beautifully made game, and both the music and the pictures are very realistic.

But Li Muhan noticed something was wrong.

The title on the game login interface...

Chaos and abyss?

"Is this a fucking copycat game? Just like Steam and Steam Butler? Even Lin Ziyu could download it wrong?" Li Muhan asked as he took off his helmet.

Chen Yiming frowned, then walked to Lin Ziyu's computer and operated it for a while, and then the confusion on her face deepened.

"Something is wrong. Senior Lin's terminal shows that he did download the game from the official website. There is no problem with the installation log. Even the login account background log is official information."

The people from the enforcement team were planning to come over and take away the terminal and helmet as evidence for the investigation.

Li Muhan raised his hand to stop them.

"Let's leave the Intelligence Department alone for now. I will investigate this matter myself."

Several members of the execution team were troubled, and then Li Muhan called Yan Yu personally, and then the members of the execution team left empty-handed.

Then Li Muhan asked Chen Yiming to sit in front of the computer and asked her to carefully check Lin Ziyu's operation log last night to see if there was any abnormality.

So Chen Yiming started to operate very skillfully.

"I didn't expect Yiming to be so good at this." Su Xue also sat down next to her and asked.

"Because, because..." Chen Yiming blushed. "Because of me, I am sometimes curious about Senior Lin's work, so I asked him one time. He explained it to me very patiently, and then I became interested in network security and terminal operations."

"After that, Senior Lin often guided me to learn knowledge in this area..."

"Well, if you want to develop in this field in the future, I can recommend you to the network security department."

"No, that's not necessary." Chen Yiming rejected Li Muhan's proposal: "Teacher, I just want to stay in the seventh team. Captain Su Xue, Senior Yin, and Lu Yunxue are all very good to me..."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. How about it? Do you see anything?"

Chen Yiming began to operate seriously, and soon she felt something was wrong.

"From 11 to 12 o'clock, Senior Lin's backstage logs were all normal. He was indeed chatting with people in the game, but the specific content of the chat needs to be checked in the game or at the game company's backstage."

So Li Muhan made a phone call and asked Gao to take the Internet Monitoring Bureau's license to Hami Network Company to retrieve the chat records of Lin Ziyu's account.

Chen Yiming added, "But... since 1 o'clock, the entire game program, no, Senior Lin's network environment has changed. His IP has been tampered with, the logs have been overwritten, the game program has also been destroyed, and the entire game has been replaced with another game."

"Anything else?" Li Muhan asked.

"I, let me see. Senior Lin seems to have discovered something wrong. He tried to fix it. As expected of Senior Lin, he seemed to have found the other party's original IP address, but... he was still a step too slow. At 1:12, Senior Lin stopped doing anything. The last code he searched for was... deepweb."

"What is that?" Li Muhan scratched his head.

“The deep web, also known as the dark web, is the illegal place hidden beneath the shallow web.”

Yin Qi said: "Human trafficking, weapons trading, money laundering, no matter how evil something is, it will become very common on the Deep Web."

"Even the Special Management Bureau cannot fully detect the full picture of the deep web. Just like humans have only explored 5% of the ocean, the deep web is like a huge black ocean, hiding too many unknown secrets. What I just said is only the shallow layer of the deep web. The deep web also has a deeper dark place, which we usually call the abyss. Most people can only use a computer to explore the deep web at best. If you want to enter the abyss, you need to prepare too many things."

Li Muhan frowned.

“Why did Ziyu search for the code of the Deep Web?”

"There is only one possibility." Chen Yiming said.

"The thing that attacked Senior Lin's terminal might have come from the deep web."
