The blinding white light exploded in the room. Seizing the opportunity, I forcefully initiated the disconnection procedure.
"Trying to run?" Lao Wang's voice suddenly turned sinister. "I told you, this is our territory!"
Just as it seemed the disconnection procedure was about to fail, a familiar voice suddenly rang in my ear:
"Sorry to keep you waiting, Lao Fei."
It was Li Jun, my partner at DCT. He was responsible for security in the real world, and I hadn't expected him to show up now.
"Location confirmed, beginning counter-tracking," another voice chimed in. It was our technical director, Zhang Lei.
In an instant, countless lines of code cascaded down like a waterfall. I saw a look of panic appear on Lao Wang's face for the first time.
"Very good..." he gritted his teeth. "I didn't expect DCT had this up its sleeve."
"The game is over." I straightened my posture. "We have locked onto all your servers, including those so-called 'avatar' nodes."
"Oh really?" Lao Wang suddenly burst into a sinister laugh. "Are you sure that the one talking to you right now is the real me?"
Before his words faded, his image split into countless identical copies, all laughing maniacally.
"This is a virtual world, dear officer. Here, can you really tell what is real and what is illusion?"
The air was thick with the cacophony of "Old Wang," filling the entire space and intertwining voices that made one feel dizzy.
"Don't let him distract you!" Zhang Lei's voice cut through the chaos. "I'm in! I've breached their core system."
The laughter of Old Wang abruptly ceased.
"Impressive," his tone finally shifted. "But with this, you've lost any chance of finding me forever."
With a piercing electronic sound, all his avatars vanished simultaneously. Instantly, the data in the room began to collapse.
"Evacuate!" Zhang Lei shouted. "They're going to self-destruct the servers!"
I severed the connection as quickly as possible. When I returned to the real world, I was drenched in cold sweat.
"What did you find out?" I asked Zhang Lei eagerly.
"I didn't have time to look at the details, but at least I found a key piece of information." Zhang Lei's voice was grave. "The IP address Old Wang logged in from is Origin Awakening World Headquarters Building..."
Just as I suspected. This revelation left us both in silence.
If the mastermind had truly infiltrated Origin Awakening World, then the system update in three days would spell disaster.
"Notify everyone; we are entering emergency status from now on." I stood up and glanced at the time.
There are 64 hours left until the update of Origin Awakening World.
"All IP address tracking has been cut off, but at least we've confirmed one thing—Old Wang indeed logged in from the headquarters of Origin Awakening World," Zhang Lei said, pointing at the data on the screen.
At four in the morning, the atmosphere in the DCT operations command room was tense. A dozen technical experts surrounded a holographic projection table, trying to find clues from the data they had just collected.
"The focus isn't on the IP," I magnified a stream of data. "Look at this call frequency; every time Old Wang speaks, there's a special data packet. This pattern..."
"This is the internal communication protocol of Origin Awakening World!" Xiao Lin suddenly exclaimed. "I saw it during my internship at Yuanqi; it's an encrypted channel for executives only."
The room fell silent. If this is true, it means that "Old Wang" is very likely a high-ranking official at Origin Awakening World.
