Chapter 23: Hunted By The Nightfall Team

Gu Man’s phone kept ringing with messages.

She opened the private chat app she had designed. It was the hacker contact “Moon”.

“Aiyo, my dear lady, do you know? The hacker platform is already in an uproar!” The moment she opened it, Moon complained anxiously.

“Isn’t it just that “Nightfall” has been breached?”

“That’s the ‘Nightfall’ Group. For many years, it is the “Nightfall” that hackers can’t cross.” Seeing that Gu Man’s tone was so calm, Moon was about to collapse.

God knew that when Nightfall was breached, he was stunned for half an hour before he finally calmed down. Then, he jumped around excitedly for half an hour before he calmed down. If others saw this, they would definitely think that he was crazy.

How could he not be excited? The nameless rookie in the hacker community had instantly broken through the “Nightfall” group that even the number one hacker on the hacker rankings, the “Nether King”, did not dare to try. Moreover, no one knew who “Eel” was.

So much so that Moon could not accept Gu Man’s calm response.

Then, he thought of something else. “Right now, “Nightfall” has a bounty of 10 million dollars to catch “Eel”. You have to be careful. Don’t appear on the hacker network for the time being and lie low. Is the intercepting and tracking program you set up reliable?”

“Of course,” Gu Man said lightly.

“Eel, I’m telling you sincerely. Don’t be careless!” Moon collapsed again. That’s a bounty of 10 million US dollars. Many hackers would resort to unscrupulous means to capture the address of eel.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already reset the program. No one can hack it!” Gu Man replied.

The private chat software that the Host had set up and the IP address she had logged in to had some loopholes that were easy to track. Therefore, Gu Man set up and encrypted a few more programs. She was confident that no one could break through the defense she had set up.

Hearing Gu Man’s words, Moon was relieved. After all, it was Gu Man herself who broke through the “Nightfall”. Her skills did not come from luck.

Moon also paid attention to the comments on the hacker website.

Now, the hacker community was only guessing and didn’t know who Eel was. They originally thought that it was the alternate account of the top hacker, “Nether King”, but “Nether King” immediately declared that it wasn’t him.

The other hackers tried to track and expose her identity, but they could not find any traces. This “Eel” was hidden in the depths of the sea of hackers, making it impossible for anyone to find her.

The hacker “Eel” jumped to the top of the rankings and was also the most mysterious hacker because there was no information about her on the Internet.

In the eyes of the “Nightfall”, this action was a blatant provocation. Therefore, they offered ten million dollars and declared that they would definitely catch “Eel”.

However, more than ten hours had passed, and “Nightfall” still could not break through the protection set up by Eel. The Jimo family was already furious.

They were the oldest and most powerful family in the Liang Kingdom, controlling one-fifth of the kingdom’s wealth.

The Liang Kingdom was an allied country and was the most developed country on this planet. In the early days, it relied on war at sea to plunder global resources to establish a superpower. Although its total population was only 200 million people, it created 30% of the global economy with one-thirtieth of the global population.

It was obvious how illustrious the Jimo family was.

Gu Man breaking through “Nightfall” was equivalent to becoming enemies with the Jimo family.

The difference in strength between one person and a huge family was obvious.

Moon’s worry was normal.

However, Moon was also puzzled. Why did Gu Man always accept small orders?

He thought that Gu Man was just a rookie hacker! He usually gave her simple missions.

He threw this question to Gu Man.

Gu Man replied, “I’m short of money recently.”

Moon was instantly rendered speechless. Whatever the big shot said was right!

“In short, you can’t be careless. The Jimo family won’t let you off. I heard that the top hacker, ‘Nether King’, might accept the mission of sniping you. At that time, you will be very passive,” Moon reminded again.

“Got it, that’s it.” Gu Man exited the system.

Moon stared at the screen again.

That was the Jimo family, the hacker “Nether King”. Why wasn’t she in a hurry?

It seemed that he had to be more sensitive when interacting with Gu Man in the future.
