Click click click... The light-colored alarm clock pointer on the corner of the desk marked zero. The night was thick, and the lights from the martial arts arena illuminated the window white. Lin Tuo folded his hands and stared at the "etheric line" that broke and disappeared, with a curious expression.

And strange.

This time the temptation was disguised as a dream, in order to take advantage of people's loosened psychological defenses in dreams to test the truth. The results were not satisfactory. Although he did not learn more about it, it at least confirmed that there was indeed a problem with the target.

"Judging from his mood swings, he should not have noticed my existence. His mental health is very strong, at least for his age. He has secret intentions and is wary of the outside world...

No traces of spiritual invasion have been found, but he still has a lot of doubts.

Well, it’s not yet certain whether it is related to the invasion of the spiritual world, but we still need to pay attention to it.”

Lin Tuo got up, made himself a cup of Pu'er tea, took a sip, and thought that he might not be able to sleep tonight.

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly shouted: "Hathaway? Come in."

A moment later, the door opened a crack with a bang, and a crystal ball jumped in. At the same time, Hathaway's dissatisfied voice sounded:

"Can you change the word? I always feel like you are scolding me."

"Haha." Lin Tuo smiled, concentrated his energy, tried to lock the crystal ball, and used the newly mastered method of "controlling objects through the air" to lift the opponent up.

As a result, it fell down again with a snap after lifting it halfway, which made Hathaway even more angry.

"It's so difficult to control objects in the air." Mentally muttered, Lin Tuo bent down and picked it up in his hand, and then asked, "Last time you said you could enter the magic network?"

Hathaway, who was sitting on the crystal ball wearing a red robe and bare feet and twirling her light blond hair, was startled for a moment, nodded cautiously, and then tentatively said:

"What do you want to do? There doesn't seem to be a Magic Network here."

It has been some time since she came to Lishan. Through conversations with Huaxi and Lin Tuo, as well as the information she learned through online programs, Hathaway has basically confirmed that this is not the "sanctuary" she is familiar with.

Even the social structure and people's facial features are somewhat different, and I vaguely guess that I may have come to another world.

Especially when I was making the short film "Civilization ②" a few days ago.

She witnessed some historical images that Lin Tuo showed her, and saw the real "Hathaway" in history. This reminded her of some of the past, and she also had some guesses about Lin Tuo's identity, but she was smart enough not to

carry.

"That's fine, then let's go in and try together later."

Lin Tuo said something vaguely that she couldn't understand, then raised his hand and threw the crystal ball out from the crack of the door. Hathaway was so frightened that Hathaway hurriedly lay down on the ball and made a series of jingling sounds.

He rolled to the center of the martial arts arena and stopped. Just as he was about to put his hands on his hips and curse a few words, he saw the air twisting and Lin Tuo's clone appeared out of thin air. He raised his hand to grab the crystal ball.

With a sway of his body, he stepped into the air and merged into the big hand of his body suspended in the sky.

…

Throughout the whole process, Hathaway was confused and completely confused about the situation. Her vision was blocked for a long time, and she could not see anything clearly, as if she was wrapped in chaos.

When she woke up again, she was surprised to find that she was no longer at the Lishan Martial Arts Hall, but appeared on a quiet street.

Under the night, the empty streets spread into the distance.

There are street lamps standing on both sides, surrounded by some slightly old houses and buildings. The night is very dark, no one can be seen, and most of the buildings are dark.

"Where is this?" Hathaway flew out of the crystal ball, looked around, then turned to look at Lin Tuo beside her.

The latter had a calm expression, was wearing a simple coat, and was holding a crystal ball with the palm of his right hand facing up. He seemed to be looking around, and did not answer what he heard, but just walked forward.

"Hey, hey, where did you bring me here? You don't want to abandon me, do you?!"

Hathaway didn't know what she thought of, and suddenly said in a panic.

"Shut up, talk less and watch more." Lin Tuo said calmly, and without stopping, he walked along the cold street to a crossroads, looking at a row of standard wooden buildings in front of him.

The style is very different from that on Earth. If I had to describe it, it would probably be similar to the pointed wooden houses in the federal countryside, only more compact and cramped.

At this moment, it was pitch black, and Lin Tuo could vaguely see the figures in the room with the help of his inhuman vision.

That's where the etheric line just connected.

After thinking about it, Lin Tuo did not go there rashly, but took a deep look at the house number and nearby street signs, wrote them down, and then stepped back lightly.

And Hathaway, who was held in his palm, also saw something at this moment. She glanced at the familiar words and said:

"This is a shelter? The words are the same, but...it's not quite what I remember."

"This is the shelter a hundred years from now." Lin Tuo said calmly.

Hathaway's eyes suddenly widened and she looked at him in disbelief.

Under the moonlight, Lin Tuo jumped into the air. With his other hand, he took out the last remaining "invisibility spell" from his pocket, injected a trace of ether into it, activated the invisibility effect, and then flew over the neighborhood.

He looked down and asked:

"Do you feel it?"

"What?" Hathaway had not yet recovered from the shock, and said in a daze.

Lin Tuo glanced at her and reminded: "The...magic fluctuations floating in the air are related to the magic network?"

The Magic Network is a network built by magic.

In the shelter era, it was built by a group of buildings with a central base station as the core.

When Lin Tuo observed before, he found that there were some towering metal spiers standing in major cities in the southern continent, some similar to the signal towers on the earth, and the specific functions were not sure.

However, after arriving in this world, he clearly sensed the extremely subtle etheric disturbance released from the spire.

"The disturbance is related to the spire. The frequency is very stable and there are no abnormal fluctuations. It is most likely the 'infrastructure' of the Southern Continent and is not the source of the seismometer anomaly."

He made a quick judgment in his mind, and after being reminded, Hathaway finally came to his senses.

Looking around, he calmly sensed for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his small body suddenly disintegrated into a stream of data, which suddenly disappeared towards the Four Seasons City under the night cover, and quickly disappeared.

At the same time, the extremely subtle ether fluctuations that enveloped the city were like a layer of ripples in a quiet pool.

Lin Tuo's face was calm and he did not stop him. He had brought Hathaway here with the intention of trying it. As for whether it would cause problems, he was not very worried.

Firstly, after getting to know Hathaway over this period of time, he has some grasp of Hathaway's character. Secondly, her foundation crystal ball is still in his hand. Even if she does run away, as long as he is still in this sandbox, he still has

Be sure to catch it.

After waiting patiently for a minute or two, seeing that Hathaway showed no sign of returning, Lin Tuo snorted and suddenly gathered a tiny bit of etheric sword energy, knocked it into the crystal ball, and detonated it.

Amidst the slight explosion, a cry of pain rang in the ears, and a red dress suddenly appeared in the air. Hathaway threw herself towards the crystal ball, with a face full of distress, and turned around and said:

"What are you doing?!"

"I just asked you to come back." Lin Tuo said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth.

He had already discovered that the crystal ball was very strong.

"Just call me, I can hear you!" Hathaway glared at him.

"It seems that this is indeed a magic net." Lin Tuo ignored her and stated.

Hathaway curled her lips and said:

"Indeed, and this is a public network. I can sneak into it, but it will be a bit troublesome when it comes to some key nodes. It will take some time to crack it before I can enter."

"for example?"

"For example, the Central Committee's intranet," Hathaway said excitedly when talking about this. "Ordinary networks are not difficult. I just went to the Supreme Committee for a tour. The defense measures are really tight. It's like a layer cake."

It seems, I am a good guy...

But this doesn’t bother me. Who am I? I solved it directly.

If you don't call me, give me another minute or two, and I can easily hack into the central authority~"

Listening to this guy boasting, Lin Tuo's eyes lit up slightly.

This is an unexpected surprise. Sure enough, compared to just helping to create a web page on Earth, the native land of the North and South Continents can better utilize the capabilities of this data life.

"In this case, it may be more convenient." Lin Tuo whispered in his heart, interrupting the complacent Hathaway who was bragging, and said, "In that case, I will give you two tasks."

"Go ahead, but first let me agree that I will be paid for working for you."

Lin Tuo ignored her and said calmly:

"First, help me compile a report on the basic situation of society in this era. Don't say it can't be done. If my guess is correct, you have already done it in the past few minutes."

"Second, use the magic network to help me send a message to the leaders of the various parties on the Central Committee."

"say what?"

Lin Tuo was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about it. After a moment, he chuckled and said, "Just say... the observation envoy is back."

…

The Southern Continent is very cold at night. After all, most night owls are lying in bed, using "brain computers" to entertain themselves in the lively virtual world.

The "Magic Energy Towers" scattered across the entire continent keep running at all times, connected by the ether cloud that permeates the entire human world, and there are tens of billions of signal exchanges every second.

Central region, capital of the southern continent, core circle.

Most of the leaders of the four parties in the Supreme Council have fallen asleep at this moment, and their brains and computers are not connected.

At that time, a communicator with simple functions that had not changed much after a hundred years was placed nearby to ensure emergency communication.

"Didi——"

"Didi——"

At this moment, four communicators rang almost simultaneously, waking up the party leaders who had fallen asleep.

The sleepiness suddenly dissipated, and four high-level human beings living in different buildings woke up at the same time. They pressed the answer button, and their expressions suddenly changed!

…

In the Hall of Illusions, endless mist filled the air. Towering pillars rose up one after another. In the center of the bronze round table, flames flickered, reflecting the dark and unclear expression of Lin Tuo sitting at the top.

When four phantoms in formal attire appeared in the empty seats, they were first in awe, fear, and shock, and then looked up with a humble attitude.

Seeing the palm-sized Hathaway who was accidentally pulled in by Lin Tuo, she was slightly startled and a little nervous, and soon she heard Lin Tuo's voice echoing in her ears:

"No need to worry."

After a pause:
Chapter completed!
