Heroes' Prison

Chapter 891 - 843: Hacker Changes the World

"What? Dragon Spike?" Upon hearing this name, everyone was taken aback!

"The Dragon Emperor is formidable, but he’s just a Holy Domain level! Even a hero can’t transcend a status hierarchy; Holy Domain is Holy Domain, and Heavenly Domain is Heavenly Domain!" Yang Yuheng asked, puzzled.

Though he had only been able to look up to a figure like Dragon Spike these past few years, if he were to fight Dragon Spike now, he would undoubtedly win. No matter how strong Dragon Spike was, he couldn’t defeat him, a Heavenly Domain level.

Not only was everyone puzzled, but Dragon Spike himself also felt somewhat confused. He knew his abilities best, and others didn’t know his full strength, but he understood he couldn’t defeat the Fallen Messenger; there was no doubt about it.

Huang Yi stroked his chin and said, "You all think Dragon Spike can’t beat a Heavenly Domain because he’s currently only at the Holy Domain Rank. But what if we advance him to the Heavenly Domain Level? As a hero, he can disregard status levels. Once he reaches the Heavenly Domain, he won’t be weakened even when fighting a Top-Level Heavenly Domain opponent, nor will the opponent gain any enhancement. Let alone the Fallen Messenger, an Intermediate Heaven Domain. If the Dragon Emperor uses all his abilities and some items that restrain the Demon Clan, he might just be able to kill the Fallen Messenger."

"But the Dragon Emperor is only at Level 180, and he’s 20 levels away from reaching the Heavenly Domain. How will he advance?" Jian Feng Kuai frowned and asked.

"We have Demon Cores that can help him level up." Huang Yi said, playing with two Demon Cores that were Level 198 and Level 199 in his hands.

"So, what Big Brother God of Slaughter meant when he said to use these Demon Cores on the strongest person, he was referring to the Dragon Emperor?" At this moment, Tang Ziyao, who was in charge of logistics for the Hero Legion, suddenly spoke up. Indeed, when Huang Yi asked him for those Demon Cores, he had mentioned putting good steel on the blade.

"Yes! I’ve had this plan for a while." Huang Yi said, shaking his hand, instantly producing more than a dozen Demon Cores, from Level 180 to Level 190.

He handed all these Demon Cores to Dragon Spike in one go.

Seeing this, Tang Ziyao couldn’t help but be even more puzzled: "But we’re still missing two Demon Cores! We currently only have Demon Cores from Level 180 to Level 195, and we just got the Level 198 and Level 199 Demon Cores. We still need the Level 196 and Level 197 Demon Cores to advance the Dragon Emperor to the Heavenly Domain."

"Yes! We’ve never gotten the Level 196 and Level 197 Demon Cores. Otherwise, Big Brother Dao Feng wouldn’t just be Level 196. We’ve been trying to advance him to the Heavenly Domain level, but we’ve never found those two Demon Cores. Do you have a way to get those two Demon Cores within this limited time? The Net of Peace lasts for less than an hour." Yang Yuheng said, looking up at the Net of Peace in the sky.

This Net of Peace can only block the Fallen Messenger for a few more minutes. They’ve been searching for those two Demon Cores for days without success. How can Huang Yi manage to get them in just a few minutes? It’s truly astonishing.

"That depends on luck. If we’re lucky, we can get them." Huang Yi nodded, giving Dragon Spike a meaningful look, and said, "Dragon Spike, give me your Oskan Royal Academy school badge."

Though Dragon Spike didn’t understand, he didn’t doubt Huang Yi. With a flick of his hand, he took out a wooden plaque and handed it to Huang Yi.

Huang Yi reached out and took the plaque to have a look. It was completely purple, with the words "Krabi Class Three, No. 27" written on it.

This was the second purple school badge he had seen at the Oskan Royal Academy, just like his own badge.

He then placed the badge into his storage ring, turned his mind to the distant Central Continent.

At this moment, his main body was still in the Hero Trial Secret Realm, and he immediately exited the trial and rushed to his classroom at top speed.

He needed to find his deskmate—Si Chengcheng!

Because a few days ago in Formation Class, he saw Si Chengcheng holding two Demon Cores. Si Chengcheng had mentioned that these two Demon Cores were Level 196 and Level 197.

Back then, he was extremely envious of those two Demon Cores and wanted to get them for Dao Feng. But he ultimately didn’t have a reason to ask because they weren’t his.

But this time was different. Si Chengcheng had a crush on Dragon Spike. As long as he said Dragon Spike needed those two Demon Cores, Si Chengcheng would definitely not refuse.

Moreover, Si Chengcheng was only around Level 180, so she likely hadn’t used those Demon Cores within two days.

Huang Yi was quite anxious. It wasn’t class time, and the chances of bumping into Si Chengcheng were low.

He didn’t have Si Chengcheng’s contact card and couldn’t reach him.

Though Dragon Spike had Si Chengcheng’s contact card, he was on the Hero’s Continent. Players not on the same continent couldn’t send messages, and even names in the friend list would appear gray, as if offline.

Soon, Huang Yi arrived at the classroom and looked around. The classroom was empty, and Si Chengcheng was not there.

Only one person was sitting in the entire classroom.

This person was a young man around thirty, with a black crew cut, exuding a calm aura as he sat upright in a chair reading a book, reminiscent of an official reviewing documents, with a unique grandeur.

This person was FeatherWorld, an Indonesian player who enrolled on the same day as him.

"FeatherWorld, do you know where Si Chengcheng went?" Huang Yi directly asked.

FeatherWorld lifted his head, pulling his attention away from the book to Huang Yi, and smiled warmly, "I happened to see Si Chengcheng when I arrived; she has logged out."

"Logged out? Did she mention when she’d be back?" Huang Yi frowned immediately; logging out was a troublesome thing.

FeatherWorld shook his head, "I’m not sure. I’ll let her know when she logs back in? Since she logged out in the classroom, I’ll see her when she logs in."

"No need, thank you." Huang Yi absentmindedly said, pacing as he sat at Si Chengcheng’s seat, pondering his next move.

At this critical time, with Si Chengcheng offline, his plan faced a significant setback. The Net of Peace lasts only an hour, and time was slipping away fast.

He needed Si Chengcheng to log in quickly within these minutes, but he didn’t have her offline contact information.

Meanwhile, on the Hero’s Continent.

Huang Yi’s incarnation turned to look at Dragon Spike and asked, "Dragon Spike, do you have Si Chengcheng’s offline contact information?"

"No," Dragon Spike shook his head.

Huang Yi sighed, looking up at the Fallen Messenger in the sky, pondering.

If Si Chengcheng didn’t log in, he had to consider other ways to block the Fallen Messenger.

His best asset was the Dark Seal, a skill capable of sealing even a Demigod, and the Fallen Messenger would be no exception. But this required a foundation, which was to fool the Fallen Messenger’s five Skill Dispel attempts, rendering the messenger incapable of dispelling skills. Otherwise, using the Dark Seal on the Fallen Messenger would just waste Power of the Nefalem as it would be dispelled instantly.

Once a skill is dispelled, it can’t be effective again within a certain time. If the Fallen Messenger dispelled his Dark Seal, it wouldn’t be effective on the messenger in the short term.

Tricking the Fallen Messenger into using Skill Dispel five times seemed far-fetched even to Huang Yi himself.

But if Si Chengcheng didn’t log in, he’d have to bite the bullet and attempt it.

"Big Brother God of Slaughter, I know how to find someone." At this moment, a voice suddenly emerged from the Hero Legion.

This was a young man in his twenties, slender and looking clever.

Huang Yi turned to the young man and immediately smiled warmly, "Lan Wei, what do you have in mind?"

This man’s name was Lan Wei, a top-level criminal in Rose Prison, incarcerated for hacking the Swiss Bank network system.

Lan Wei became spirited, as if he suddenly became the main character on stage, exuding an extraordinary charisma. He asked clearly, "What country is Si Chengcheng from?"

"Singapore," Huang Yi and Dragon Spike said in unison.

Lan Wei nodded, "I can hack into Singapore’s telecom system and search for Si Chengcheng’s phone number in their database. This would take about three minutes."

Pausing for a moment, he continued, "If Si Chengcheng is not her real name, but a fake one, I have another method. I developed a people search script in high school that can conduct a search for ’Si Chengcheng’ on websites worldwide. If she ever used that name on any forum or website, I can trace her online tracks. The script will automatically analyze her network IP to see if it originates from Singapore. With Singapore’s population being just a few million, it’s not too tough to find. This process would take about ten minutes."

Lan Wei spoke rapidly with a clear train of thought, breathing briefly before continuing, "Let’s say Si Chengcheng never used that name elsewhere except in The Second World. We can go to the forums of The Second World, examine her past posts and topics discussed. Or you can try to recall if she ever mentioned any events in her life, like attending a concert. I can hack into the ticketing system of that concert, obtaining every ticket purchaser’s information, analyzing to find the matching numbers, then hack into Singapore’s telecom system to retrieve the historical communication records of these numbers. With that, it becomes easier to determine who’s Si Chengcheng." (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Starting Point (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
