It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

"Do you need me to find you a lawyer?"

Xu Shi sneered and lifted her chin with a gun, forcing her to turn towards the blackmail email on the screen. "Moreover, stealing other people's private information and blackmailing them is legal?"

"Gu..."

Faced with the mountain of irrefutable evidence, Gu Yi lowered his head awkwardly.

In fact, there is nothing to quibble about. It's just a meaningless attempt to delay time... Just look at the Ouroboros logo on the combat uniform and you will know that it is the people from the "Snake Ring" who have come to the door.

Overturned!

Before she could feel annoyed, Xu Shi leaned over to her ear and continued reading slowly and calmly.

"Gu Yi, female, 19 years old, codenamed "Black Rabbit", ranked fourth on the global hacker list "Invader-T".

Because he has stolen the internal information of nearly a hundred companies in the City of Night Crime over the past four years, he has also been put on the S-level wanted list of the Inspection Bureau..."

Hearing this, Miss Black Rabbit was completely dumbfounded.

This, this is impossible!

As a wanted criminal, caution is a must.

Not only did he have to change his residence regularly, but he also never left any information on the Internet except his code name.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be still at large until today... Maybe if she goes to do some hip-hop dance in front of the Inspection Bureau now, those idiots won't know that this is the person they are looking for.

So, how did I get exposed?

Is the power of the Dog Consortium so terrifying?

Of course, Gu Yi could not have imagined that Xu Shi was the only one who knew all this, since it was written in the original book... But this did not prevent her from feeling deeply disgusted with the man in front of her who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a suit and a shirt, in addition to being afraid.

The reason why she chose to be an electronic kidnapper was not just for money, but more for the sense of accomplishment that came from playing tricks on others.

After stealing the information, he would leave behind taunts like "trash", "garbage" and "waste", and watch the victims being tortured until they were frustrated, but forced them to pay money obediently... Such dramas always made her unable to stop.

But this time it was the other way around.

Not only did he fall into the hands of the consortium, but even his underwear was stripped off.

For a hacker, what's the difference between this and shitting in the street?

A strong feeling of shame surged in her heart, and Gu Yi wished she could bite Xu Shi to death.

But it's strange, this guy is obviously very handsome, at least the best-looking man Gu Yi has ever seen in her 19 years of life.

But there is an lingering evil quality about him that I just can't stand no matter how I look at him.

What's that word again... villain face?

But Gu Yi didn't want to delve into this now. After a moment, he came to his senses and asked, "You arrested me... you must have something for me to do, right?"

"For example, the other group of hackers?"

Although she felt ashamed, she did not lose her ability to think.

The other party didn't seem to have any intention of handing him over to the Inspection Bureau. He didn't take action even with the gun pointed at his head, nor did he seem to be committing lynching... This situation was quite abnormal and completely inconsistent with the usual style of the Dog Consortium.

But combined with the previous situation encountered by the "Snake Ring", everything seems to be explainable.

"That's right, Miss Gu is very smart."

Xu Shi snapped his fingers. "I need you to find out their exact location. Can you do it?"

"...If you find it, will you let me go?"

Gu Yi pursed her lips, testing his attitude.

"If you can't find it, I will never let you go."

Xu Shi pulled her up and forced her onto the chair. "Now is not the time to make conditions, and you are not qualified to do so... Tell me, how long will it take?"

Gu Yi paused, then let out a resigned sigh.

The defeated prey has no right to bargain. The only way to grasp the shaky chance of survival is to do what the other party says.

"About... half an hour?"

Thinking about it in her mind, Miss Black Rabbit hesitated and gave an estimate, "They are decoding remotely and may not be gathered together... I need to find them one by one."

"Okay, I'll give you half an hour."

Xu Shi nodded slightly, took the white ring from the waist of the combat team member next to him, operated it for a few times, and then without saying anything, buckled it around Gu Yi's neck with a click.

"What's this?!"

The cold touch spread from her neck, and Miss Black Rabbit's heart suddenly tightened.

"Red Ant, a multi-purpose portable bomb developed by Snake Ring."

Xu Shi smiled playfully and made an explosion gesture. "I've set a countdown. If you haven't completed the task by then, then... Boom~"

"…I *-use civilized language-*, the consortium dog *-use civilized language-*!"

Gu Yi reacted and couldn't help cursing, "How can you bully others like this! If you have the guts, just kill me..."

How evil is this guy?!

Xu Shi was not angry. He just put his hand on her shoulder, looked down at her, and his voice suddenly became cold.

"Swearing also counts as time."

"..."

Miss Black Rabbit finally gave in.

Less than two seconds after she met Xu Shi's gaze, the suffocating sense of oppression in the other's eyes shattered her last bit of stubbornness.

She didn’t want to turn into fireworks... Gu Yi shuddered unconsciously and moved to the computer tremblingly.

As for why they have the ability to find her, but she still needs to find others...she doesn't have time to think about this.

Let's find a way to survive first...

The apartment fell silent again, leaving only the clacking sound of the keyboard.

The room quickly became stuffy, and Xu Shi waved his hand to send everyone away, then sat on the bed beside him and acted as a supervisor.

I have to say that this hacker lady is very cute and is worthy of being the heroine in the original work.

It’s this outfit that makes people disagree - messy street-style clothes and pants, meaningless accessories... and her hair is dyed a rebellious dark blue with cheap hair dye, she looks like a total bad girl.

Or it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she is a female ghost?

After all, her figure was a bit thin, and her clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck to her body, and she didn't show off her chicken head...

While complaining, Gu Yi reported a string of numbers.

"42.36988, -71.25095..."

"It's pretty fast."

Xu Shi clapped his hands lightly, "Su Lin!"

"Yes."

Su Lin responded, stretched out her finger and pointed casually, "You five, follow me."

Before leaving, she did not forget to call the combat team leader who stayed behind and gave him some instructions in a low voice.

"Protect the young master. If anything happens to him, you know the consequences."

When she said this, the sharpness in her tone made the combat captain shudder even through his tactical helmet.

"...obey!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 3 My mission is completed!

Sin City, at the edge of District 5, in an abandoned cabin.

A man in a blue baseball shirt was sitting at the table, operating the computer intently.

Zhou Xi, who is affiliated with "Xinghuo", is the person in charge of this "Snake-luring Operation".

"Old Zhou, we can get all the data we need in half an hour at most!"

"I'm almost there too, it'll be done soon!"

"It's called a big conglomerate, but Snake Ring isn't that great!"

“…Don’t get carried away.”

Listening to the team members' reports in the headset, Zhou Xi smiled and reminded them, "This is our first mission. If you mess it up, I won't forgive you."

Although he had only joined "Starfire" not long ago, Leader Shen left a deep impression on him.

Kind and friendly, with elegant conversation.

Most importantly, he saw hope in the other person.

The hope of overthrowing the centralized power of the corporations.

In comparison, the other gangs in Sin City that only knew how to scheme against each other were so ugly... and that was why he really wanted to follow them.

"Don't worry, Lao Zhou. Can this be messed up?"

"That's right, we are all veterans, we can handle rollovers and such, it's very blue!"

"But this job is really tiring. You have to buy me a nice drink after this... ah!!"

"Sixth Brother?! What happened to you?!"

The joking sound suddenly turned into wailing, and Zhou Xi felt something was wrong.

But no matter how much they called out, all they heard was the hissing sound of electricity.

"Could it be... that they were found by the Dog Consortium?"

Everyone reacted quickly, "If this is true...what should we do now?"

"……continue!"

Looking at the progress bar of "89%" on the screen, Zhou Xi hesitated for a moment and then quickened his pace. "Our positions are very scattered. Even if Lao Liu is exposed, we still have time!"

It’s just the last bit, we can’t give up now!

However, the speed of the "Snake Ring" was far beyond their imagination.

90%, 91%…

"Who is it?! Breaking into a private residence is a crime... bang!"

92%, 93%…

"No, no, I surrender, don't kill me...Ah!!"

94%, 95%…

"Fuck you, you dog of the consortium, go to hell..." "Da da da..."

In less than twenty minutes, except for Zhou Xi, everyone else's hiding places were exposed!

The gunfire and screams coming from the headphones also proved that they had all been killed.

“…Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck me!”

Hearing the team members falling one after another, Zhou Xi's expression gradually became distorted, "Damn it, what's going on?!"

Why did the speed of the Dog Consortium suddenly become so fast?

He was also very clear that if the situation continued like this, he would be the next one!

So, the best option right now is to pack up and run away before the combat team finds us.

However, just as he was about to start running, Chief Shen's words suddenly came to his mind.

"If you want to overthrow the consortium, bloodshed and sacrifice are indispensable. If you want to join us, I hope that Mr. Zhou's team will also have this awareness."

So, after hesitating for a moment, he sat back at the table and started typing quickly on the keyboard.

Chief Shen is right!
