The whole world knows that I crossed

"... Qiao Jun?"

After a moment of silence, Munakata Reiji was the first to speak out, breaking the silence of the room.

He looked at the black-haired young man who was squatting halfway on the ground with a serious face, and a certain ominous premonition slowly rose in his heart...

"What do you mean that things are troublesome? Could it be that..."

"Ah, it's the 'could it say'."

Qiao Wen stood up, turned his head and met the room chief's suddenly serious gaze helplessly:

"The bad prediction has come true. This is really a monster that can freely come and go to any place where the Internet exists through the Internet."

Just now when Qiao Wen launched Tao Binding 58. Slapping the Toe and Chasing the Sparrow, there were dozens of traces that belonged to the target that appeared in his senses in an instant!

Of course, this is not to say that the target has the ability similar to the multiple shadow clone technique in Naruto, but that the opponent's trace is only within a few seconds of Qiao Wen's tracking with the slap toe chasing bird, in dozens of different ways. Between locations, several back and forth were transferred at high speed!

As Natori Monday described these locations, they spread all over Japan. Apart from the fact that the other party is moving at high speed through the Internet, Qiao Wen really can't think of any other explanations that can reasonably achieve a similar effect.

He sighed:

"At present, it is impossible to determine whether the opponent's ability can only move at high speed through the network, or can also be manipulated together with the data in the network."

"but……"

"At least one thing is certain—"

Qiao Wen helplessly spread his hands.

"His...or her trace can indeed be tracked, but the speed of the other party's movement is too amazing. One second was in Hokkaido, and the next second may appear in Okinawa..."

In this way, even if they can track the other party's whereabouts, it is useless at all-unless they can find a way to block the connection between the other party and the network...

Moreover, if you want to capture the opponent, you must do a lot of preparatory work in the early stage, and you must also ensure that you can lure the opponent into the trap you set up, so that it will be possible to successfully achieve it. Temporary intentions like today are just gathering Gathering a large number of capable people and trying to get things done easily will definitely not work.

"It's not all bad, though."

Qiao Wen saw that everyone present was a little frustrated, and because of the monster's special ability, they all looked dignified. After thinking about it, he decided to reveal some news to them in advance.

"Through tracking that monster, I also found some interesting information."

Reisi Munakata's eyes lit up when he heard the words: "For example...?"

Qiao Wen did not disappoint him either.

"For example, although the other party is moving at high speed across the entire network, there are a few 'areas' that TA pays more attention to, and passed by many times intentionally or unintentionally..."

Munakata Reisi was not slow, and immediately reacted after hearing the words:

"SAO's server?"

"—Maybe." Although Qiao Wen can be considered a technical geek, his "technology" is concentrated in DIY-related fields, and his understanding of computer networks and the like is only the level of ordinary people, so it is naturally impossible to draw conclusions.

However, isn’t there still someone who knows how to do this? Qiao Wen’s voice fell when Fushimi Saruhiko quickly opened the terminal in his hand. After some operations, a virtual map was projected on the top of Munakata Reisi’s desk come out.

The blue-haired boy quickly circled several areas on the map: "Is this the place?"

Qiao Wen narrowed his eyes and recalled carefully...

"The scope is somewhat different, but generally the same."

Fushimi Saruhiko, who was waiting for his answer, raised his hand and pushed his glasses:

"It's enough to be roughly the same...Director, this is the area where the server provided by the company 'AUGUS', which launched the SAO game, is located for SAO..."

Due to the lack of support from the prime minister's residence, Scepter4's request to take over the management authority of the server was strongly rejected by AUGUS.

As for Scepter4, which only has the power of "household registration management" on the surface, it is naturally impossible to force takeover measures.

"But the location of the corresponding server was recorded by us at that time," Fushimi stated calmly, "After the mass coma incident of SAO players, AUGUS made a promise to the families of the excited players that the players would not wake up for a day , the server will not be shut down for a day, so, compared to the routine regular maintenance in the past, these servers are now under strict protection. There are rumors that AUGUS has hired an internationally renowned security team to ensure the security of these servers. safe and stable operation..."

——Of course, the behavior of attacking the server by means of hacking is also included in the scope of prevention.

"That is to say," Reiji Munakata lightly tapped the table with his finger, "The fact that the monster passed the game server several times didn't arouse any vigilance from the security team hired by AUGUS?"

"……you can say it this way."

Fushimi nodded.

"In this way, there are only three possibilities—"

The boy said and raised three fingers.

"First, the other party can only move at a high speed through the network, which cannot affect the data in the network, and the movement achieved by itself through the network will not cause any changes in the data level."

"Second, the other party was able to affect the data in the network, but for some reason, did not tamper with the SAO game data."

"Third, the other party was able to affect the data in the network, and did tamper with the SAO game data to some extent, but due to unknown reasons, it never attracted the attention of the security company..."

Following the narration, Fushimi lowered his raised fingers one by one.

At the end, the corner of his mouth raised, evoking a smile that was not very obvious, but full of irony:

"By the way, I personally think that the third possibility is more likely."

"...What's the reason?" The King of Green raised his eyebrows slightly upon hearing this.

Fushimi Saru Hiko pursed his lips a little annoyed.

"Isn't the reason obvious?" He snorted, even if he was facing his own king, his attitude couldn't be described as humble, "The mastermind behind the SAO incident, the Green King, and that unknown monster king... Since The three of them can almost be determined to be a group, so, isn’t it our job to provide convenience for the accomplices to clear the obstacles?"

"Hey! Monkey! What do you mean? Can't you speak more clearly? I hate you people the most. If you have any thoughts, you can't express them clearly. You have to beat around the bush..."

Reisi Munakata hadn't answered yet, Misaki Hatta, whose mind had already become a mess, protested first after listening to their inexplicable analysis.

Perhaps because there were too many irrelevant people present today, Fushimi did not call his former partner by the name in that too peculiar tone.

However, he insisted on calling the "nickname" that the other party didn't like:

"Misaki, how about trying to use your own brain once in a while? You always expect other people to break the answers to you... Isn't it a bit too naive for a social person?"

"Monkey... you bastard..."

"Okay, okay, don't quarrel as soon as you meet, you two." Seeing that Misaki Hatta was about to be irritated by Fushimi Saru Hiko's overly frivolous tone and the unabashed irony in his words, Kusanagi Izumo pressed the button with a smile Lie on the former's shoulder, stand up and be a peacemaker, "Don't be so impatient, Hatta, let Fushimi-kun and the others finish their sentence."

"...Tsk."

Hatta Misaki looks like a very rebellious bad boy, but in fact, she is very convinced by the elders in the Barbara.

So as soon as Kusanagi Izumo made a sound, he clicked his tongue. Although he still looked irritable, he didn't say anything more.

Fushimi Saru Hiko took a deep look at Kusanagi Izumo, and when the latter looked back with a smile on his face, he clenched his fists without a trace, but his face remained calm and calm.

He looked again at Misaki Hatta who had turned away, before speaking again:

"We have suspected it before. Since we can manipulate all the players participating in the game and force them to stay in the game and cannot leave, then the behind-the-scenes of the SAO incident is most likely someone related to the game."

"It could be a member of the design team, it could be a member of the operations team at AUGUS in charge of the SAO, it could be a member of the team responsible for designing and manufacturing the 'NERvGear' device..."

Of course, compared to the ordinary members of these teams, senior management or senior technical personnel are the most worthy of suspicion.

After confirming that there might be a connection between the JUNGLE members' mass coma and the SAO incident, Scepter4 made a request to investigate the above three team members. However, there is a lack of government support, and AUGUS itself is also a giant in the Japanese economic circle. , want to start a comprehensive investigation of it, easier said than done?

Of course, it is not difficult for people with superpowers to carry out a tough investigation, but Scepter4 itself was established to control the abuse of power by people with superpowers. It is an official organization that supports order and justice. If even they start to break the rules , wouldn't the persistence in the past become the biggest joke?

"...Although it is a pity that we cannot conduct investigations in an official capacity, we have also done some 'small investigations' in private that do not violate any regulations," the blue-haired boy said here, and glanced at a certain Mr. , Seeing that the other party was not moved at all, still with a serious and upright look, he pouted his lips in boredom, and continued: "If you cooperate with the information I got today..."

Fushimi lowered his head again, operated on the terminal, and displayed on the projection screen in front of everyone, several rows of information appeared——

"The range of suspects who are 'suspected to be behind the SAO incident' can be further narrowed down."

Accompanied by his voice, the number of 34 or so suspects on the screen decreased rapidly, and in the end, only less than ten people remained on the screen...

"The one who has the ability to cover up for that unknown monster king, so that even if he tampers with the game data, he will not be easily discovered, and can allow 'illegal player' data that does not pass through the NERvGear device to enter the game..."

"There are only these eight people."

Fushimi concluded confidently.

The author has something to say: Fushimi: Peeling off cocoons

Qiao Xiaowen: Awesome~

MISAKI:? ? ?

Behind the scenes: ? ? ? ? ? ?Did you say that I will only be discovered by the protagonist? ? ?
