You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Su Ke'er's emotions, which had just calmed down, tensed up again because of this sudden announcement of the end of the world.

She clutched Lin Chen's sleeve, her face deathly pale, her large, black, gem-like eyes filled with fear and confusion.

Lin Chen gently patted her hand to reassure her, but his eyes, which always held a hint of laziness, were now more serious than ever before.

This is no longer retaliation; this is outright terrorism.

The prophet's madness exceeded everyone's expectations.

Almost at the same time, Lin Chen's other encrypted phone started vibrating wildly; it was Su Qingge calling.

"Lin Chen! Did you see that? The prophet...!"

Su Qingge's voice was filled with unprecedented anxiety and a hint of undisguised panic.

Not only her, but the entire command center of the Jiangcheng City Public Security System was in complete chaos at this moment.

When the prophet's virtual image and countdown appeared simultaneously on the internal screens of all police, fire, and medical systems across the city via an unblockable encrypted channel, the shock and panic were unparalleled.

"Report to the Municipal Bureau immediately! Activate Level 1 Emergency Response! Put the entire city on high alert!"

Lu Zhenhua's roar echoed in the command center, but even this bureau chief, who had seen many storms, had cold sweat on his forehead at this moment.

The atmosphere inside the cybersecurity department's office was extremely tense.

A dozen or so top hackers in East China were staring at rows of screens flashing with data streams. Their fingers were flying across the keyboards, and their faces were filled with frustration and despair.

"No way! I can't catch up with him at all!"

A young cyber police officer slammed his fist on the table and roared, his eyes bloodshot.

"This guy is a monster! He broke the signal source into tens of thousands of data packets, which were then randomly routed through at least three thousand botnet nodes worldwide, with each data packet having a different route! This is simply beyond human capability!"

"Our firewall is like paper in front of him. He can come and go as he pleases, and he can even precisely hack into all our internal systems!"

"It's over...it's completely over..."

In the corner, Li Mingyu, who had just been brought back from the Xinghui Building to give a statement, was so frightened by these words that his legs went weak.

Although he was badly beaten by Lin Chen, it was only a superficial injury. But now, it looks like the whole city is going to be wiped out!

"It's all over, it's all over..."

He held his head, squatted on the ground, and muttered incoherently.

"I shouldn't have gone to Star Shine Entertainment! I shouldn't have run into this jinx! Now look what's happened, I'm about to lose my life! Consultant Lin! Consultant Lin, aren't you a god? Aren't you the most capable? You have to think of something!"

Li Mingyu's wailing and howling made the already agitated crowd even more agitated, but what he said also revealed the last glimmer of hope in everyone's hearts.

All eyes turned to the figure that had just walked in from outside.

After settling Su Ke'er in, Lin Chen rushed here.

He listened to Li Mingyu's wails with a blank expression, and looked at the desperate expressions of those top-tier hackers, feeling nothing at all.

Just then, the cold system notification sounded in my mind again.

[Ding! Ultimate crisis event detected: Doomsday countdown!]

[Trigger the ultimate guardian mission: Shatter the prophet's doomsday plot and save millions of lives!]

[Mission Difficulty: SSS Rank!]

[Mission prompt: Please trust science and solve problems in a more scientific way.]

A cold smile curled at the corners of Lin Chen's lips.

He ignored the expectant, questioning, or despairing gazes of everyone and walked straight to the most powerful main control computer in the cybersecurity department.

The young cyber police officer who had been pounding the table earlier instinctively wanted to say something when he saw Lin Chen coming over, but was silenced by a cold look from Lin Chen.

Lin Chen pushed him away from his seat and sat down himself.

"What do you want? This is the main control unit, not for you..."

The cyber police were both anxious and angry.

"Shut up."

Lin Chen uttered two words calmly.

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority that silenced the cyber police officer instantly.

Lin Chen gently placed his hands on the keyboard.

[God-level Internet Tracking Techniques], now activated!

[God-level Hacking Skills], now activated!

Unlike others, he didn't futilely attempt to crack those thousands upon thousands of constantly shifting botnet nodes.

That's the most basic and foolish method.

In the vision of the [God-level Network Tracking Technique], the Seer's seemingly flawless data stream actually exposed a fatal flaw.

—Coding habits!

Just as everyone's handwriting has its own unique characteristics, every hacker also has their own unchangeable, deeply ingrained little habits when writing code.

It could be an extra space, a specific variable naming convention, or a unique algorithm logic.

These tiny "code fingerprints" are completely undetectable to ordinary hackers.

But in Lin Chen's eyes, they were like fireflies in the dark, crystal clear!

His ten fingers left a blurry afterimage on the keyboard.

He didn't trace the physical paths of those data packets at all. Instead, he directly captured, locked onto, and tracked the Prophet's unique "code fingerprint" in the vast global network data stream!

On the large screen of the main control panel, the data stream that was previously jumping wildly and chaotically suddenly stopped as if it had been choked by an invisible hand!

Immediately afterwards, a huge, global electronic map appeared in the center of the screen.

Countless red data cables are rushing towards one point from all corners of the world!

The map's scale is shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye!

Asia...China...East China...Jiangcheng City...

The whole process was incredibly smooth and fast!

All the cyber police officers in the office, including Lu Zhenhua and Su Qingge, were dumbfounded.

They stared wide-eyed at the incredible scene on the screen, their minds completely blank.

three minutes.

It only took three minutes.

The global map on the big screen eventually locked onto a "abandoned" area in the southern part of Jiangcheng City.

A red, constantly flashing coordinate point appeared clearly in front of everyone.

—South of the city, an abandoned underground reservoir.

Lin Chen's fingers pressed the last Enter key on the keyboard.

He slowly stood up, grabbed his coat draped over the back of the chair, and without even glancing at the group of petrified cyber police behind him, simply said something to the dumbfounded Su Qingge.

"The first bomb has been found."

"Qingge, notify the bomb disposal team and the special police, come with me."

After saying that, he turned around, leaving everyone with a calm and cold back view.

The entire room fell silent.
