The Pipeline Overlord

The senior engineer was right; there was indeed nothing more for him to do.

Redwing Killer, as a third-tier antivirus software, has two main strengths: it is virtually indestructible and it can detect and kill viruses.

They can even digest most viruses on the spot.

But these two in front of them, one is a crazy girl who treats the virus like a tattoo, and the other is a bug in the system. These two are simply their nemesis.

Most importantly, this is not cyberspace, but a virtual world where the underlying rules have been rewritten.

They cannot be immortal.

The senior engineer watched with amusement as they reverted to human form, were smashed to pieces, reverted to human form again, and were smashed to pieces once more.

Finally, a pleasant system notification sounded.

[Task complete. Reward: One Data Enlightenment session]

Gaokesi and Big Black gave each other a hearty high five.

"What should we do with these two corpses? Throw them outside?" asked the big black guy whose real name was Black Code.

"Idiot, what if they come back to life after you throw them outside?"

After thinking for a long time, Gaokesi still couldn't come up with a good idea. Leaving it here was definitely not an option, as people would follow the clues and find out what happened. But leaving it outside didn't seem reliable either. Suddenly, she turned her head and looked at Engineer Gao.

"Little pet, what are your thoughts?"

Just as the senior engineer was about to speak, he suddenly let out a soft "hmm".

"What's wrong?"

Source Code Killer, as the only skill that Senior Engineer has reached the maximum level and possesses the Master's Certificate, has potential far beyond what the system panel describes.

The senior engineer's sensitivity to source code even surpasses that of some AIs that make a living from it.

With the deaths of the two Redwing Killers, part of their source code collapsed, which should have been part of their self-awareness, while another small part mysteriously disappeared.

This disappearance is very strange.

If this is cyberspace, it's normal for this part of the source code to be integrated with the underlying structure.

But this is a small metaverse, so this source code cannot be integrated into it.

There is only one possibility.

There's also an antivirus protection device here!

And it's the top-tier kind.

Therefore, the source code of antivirus software is automatically aggregated.

Inside the tobacco and liquor store, Xiu Yue's expression suddenly changed. A series of green data suddenly appeared in his hand. Although he reacted quickly, he immediately grasped them in his palm.

But his expression turned ugly.

A Redwing assassin infiltrated this place and was killed!

That's fine, but the most crucial thing is that because of his position as the head of the machine consciousness department, the source code was automatically absorbed.

Mobilizing the power of the "cyber killer" has become a problem here.

"Will we be discovered?"

Xiu Yue muttered to himself, and the next moment, he suddenly raised his head. Above, accompanied by Gaokesi's maniacal laughter, shark missiles rained down from the sky.

Electronic mosaics covered the entire tobacco and liquor store.

The virus missiles exploded on it, yet they couldn't penetrate the mosaic.

"More trouble than they're worth!"

When Xiuyue came out of the tobacco and liquor store, the uncle who had looked somewhat down on his luck was now wearing a white suit and gold-rimmed glasses.

Combined with the other person's gentle and refined appearance, it fully demonstrated what it means to be a "refined beast."

With the help of the shark bomb, a black code silently appeared behind him, suddenly transforming into a huge black figure, its massive fist slamming into the opponent's head.

If that punch lands accurately, it won't be as simple as a 'black screen'; Xiuyue's entire network implantation chamber will go 'black screen'.

"Bugs aren't unfixable."

As soon as he finished speaking, Black Code's fist slammed into a pristine white wall.

Looking around, all Black Code could see were pristine white walls all around.

This strange "white house" is still slowly shrinking.

"Haven't you seen the built-in repair function of the Electronic Barrier?"

"Die!"

Xiuyue's figure flashed, dodging Gaokesi's claw attack. In his eyes, not only were the opponent's eyes blood red, but Gaokesi's entire body had turned into red code.

Trojan viruses, worm viruses, backdoor viruses...

Various viruses are merging, forming something even more dangerous.

"This is a bit troublesome. No wonder the Mother of Data hasn't made a move in the past few years. It turns out she's been raising such a monster."

Gaokesi stared intently at his opponent and suddenly roared.

In the next instant, the area of ten streets centered on her turned red, and the terrifying virus even caused the Electronic Barrier to stop working.

Faced with this terrifying attack, Xiu Yue's expression turned serious, and she slightly raised her gold-rimmed glasses, a sign that the algorithm had been activated.

The next moment, massive mechanical pillars, gears, and foundations rose from the ground.

In the massive data stream, a huge mechanical city can be created from nothing in just three seconds.

The red light from the virus collided with the mechanical walls, where it was absorbed by gears, shafts, and engines, eventually becoming the power source for the mechanical city.

Xiuyue stood on the city wall, looking down at the two of them.

A brass-colored bullet suddenly appeared in his pupils.

The bullet bounced off the wall, meaning it evaded all the execution processes in the algorithm.

With the human body's central axis as the core, Xiuyue's half body rotated ninety degrees.

The bullet grazed the glasses, avoiding a fatal blow, but inevitably leaving a crack on the lens.

Xiu Yue's eyes flashed with murderous intent as she located the direction from which the bullet had been fired.

A stunningly handsome young man, holding a silver-white pistol, smiled slightly at him.

"A hacker king at level 40, who would have thought such a formidable figure was hidden here!"

"But your opponent isn't me."

Xiuyue knew this too; the ground, streets, and buildings had all disappeared.

Instead, there is a vast ocean of data.

Giant waves of data crashed against the walls of the mechanical city, symbolizing the wrath of Cyber Baidu, the Mother of Data.

"Heh, heh, heh."

A giant face emerged from the sea.

It was the face of a middle-aged woman, vast and terrifying. An ordinary AI would probably experience data corruption and code crashes if it only glanced at it.

"Deep web, deep web!"

"Do you really want me dead?"

Xiu Yue sighed. He knew that if he revealed anything, all his plans would fall apart.

Because the mother of data must have searched for everything.

Giant waves crashed into the mechanical city from all directions. The code's digestion capacity couldn't keep up with the data generation speed, and soon, the four city walls formed by the algorithm were on the verge of collapse.

"Let's launch it now, it's better late than never."

Xiuyue took out a communicator and pressed a button.

The next moment, the senior engineer looked up.

Another big data-level computation has emerged.

Countless 0s and 1s appeared in the void, and countless huge black pipes appeared, falling from the sky and inserting into the water, frantically absorbing the massive data stream that Elisa had 'crawled' from cyberspace.

The senior engineer knew who the other party was: one of the most powerful big data monsters, a fusion of global signal base stations, the ruler of neural signals, and the master of pipelines.

Fighting the big data monster with the big data monster.

A genius idea.
