Teacher Li first checked Lin Bing's phone, his brows furrowing as if he could crush a fly with them. 0
 
Then he looked at Lin Bing, his tone serious. 0
 
"Lin Bing, your actions have seriously infringed upon others' privacy and jeopardized network security." 0
 
"You will need to undergo a comprehensive digital behavior assessment." 0
 
"In the meantime, you will temporarily move to the Quarantine Dormitory next to the data center." 0
 
The Quarantine Dormitory sounded like a small black room for confinement. 0
 
Lin Bing lowered her head, remaining silent as she began to pack her things. 0
 
She moved quickly, managing to pack all her belongings in less than half an hour. 0
 
Before leaving, she sent a message in our Dormitory Group: 0
 
"I'm sorry everyone, I've caused you trouble. I've deleted those apps and won't touch them again. T﹏T" 0
 
She even added a crying emoji at the end. 0
 
Heh. 0
 
Who would believe that? 0
 
Chen Yu muttered softly, "Can she really change?" 0
 
 
Du Ran sat in her chair, her fingers flying across the keyboard as she coldly stated, "In the digital world, traces cannot be erased." 0
 
"The firewall needs an upgrade, and add two-factor authentication for me," she continued without looking up, her fingers still tapping away. 0
 
The dormitory was unusually quiet for the next three days. 0
 
Lin Bing had left, seemingly taking with him some invisible threat, yet it felt as if something still loomed overhead. 0
 
On the third day, just as dawn was breaking—around five o'clock or so—a piercing alarm suddenly echoed throughout the entire campus, blaring from everyone's phones simultaneously! 0
 
What the hell! Is it an air raid?! 0
 
I jolted upright in bed, startled. 0
 
Chen Yu also woke up, rubbing his eyes. "What the hell? An earthquake drill?" 0
 
Du Ran had already grabbed her phone to check; her expression grew increasingly grim. 0
 
 
"It's not a drill." "It's the highest level of security alert from the School Cybersecurity Office." Chen Yu and I quickly picked up our phones to check the notification. The content of the notification was simple, but every word was chilling: "Emergency Notice: A student on campus has suffered serious Identity Information theft, and all personal online data has been illegally accessed and maliciously deleted. All teachers and students are requested to immediately check the security of their personal accounts and activate the highest level of protection!" Data was... maliciously deleted? My mind buzzed. I thought of Lin Bing. Thinking of the weird dream she had three days ago. She said that she dreamed that she was in the Digital Archive... deleting her past. I suddenly looked at Chen Yu and Du Ran. They were also looking at me, with the same horror and disbelief in their eyes. 03 The atmosphere in the dormitory was so solemn that water could be squeezed out. 0
"Do you think... it could really be Lin Bing's doing?" Chen Yu asked quietly, his face still pale with shock. 0
 
Du Ran's fingers flew across the keyboard, as if she were searching for something. 0
 
"It's hard to say." 0
 
"Top hackers can remotely control devices without anyone noticing." 0
 
"Like... a ghost." 0
 
Her words sent a chill down my spine. 0
 
Chen Yu quickly added, "Then... let's make sure we activate all the highest-level certifications!" 0
 
"Yeah, don't scare yourself. Let's wait for the official investigation results," I replied, though I felt just as uneasy inside. 0
 
In the following days, the entire school was in an uproar. 0
 
The campus forum and various group chats were buzzing with discussions about the "Digital Erasure" incident. 0
 
The identity of the victim was soon uncovered; she was a freshman from the Broadcasting Department and quite beautiful. 0
