Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Chapter 430: Backlash!

"???"

Carl stared in disbelief at the huge word "idiot" formed by the code on the screen.

Karl recognized it; it was human script, and it seemed to mean a very vulgar and offensive insult.

At the same time, more panel windows kept popping up, each continuously outputting code.

In just a few seconds, hundreds of windows filled the entire screen in front of Carl, and the code that popped up in each window formed the same large word—Idiot!

The pop-up windows kept appearing, and Carl realized that the system was completely out of his control; he couldn't even complete the forced termination process...

"How could that be...?"

A bead of cold sweat trickled down Karl's forehead, but he remained calm and showed no signs of panic.

In terms of technological civilization, he believed that Gene Company would not lose to any race in the world except the Protoss. Even though the Night Family and Dark City had launched the Deep Blue System, which they could not crack and was completely beyond their comprehension, he did not think that the Night Family and Dark City were superior to them.

Because Karl simply doesn't believe that the Deep Blue System was created by the Night Family and Dark City!

It's hard to imagine that any other race in this era, besides the gods, could create such a supernatural technological product.

Karl speculated that the Deep Blue system was most likely just something Nightsong had stumbled upon somewhere—the ruins of some ancient civilization—found some ancient technological information there, and then used that as a basis to create a replica...

But the situation before him was indeed somewhat unexpected...

The other party was clearly more capable than he had imagined; they had immediately identified and countered the system virus designed by the company, and even used the virus to conduct anti-intrusion operations!

"Lord Karl!"

A middle-aged man rushed in, panicking: "No...it's terrible! All the computers in the company are showing blue screens. It seems like the company's main system has been infected by a virus!"

Karl forced a pale smile: "Heh...it seems the opponent is more formidable than I imagined..."

He then calmly ordered, "Immediately cut off the power to the main system and activate the company's backup self-destruct system."

The middle-aged man was taken aback: "Huh?? But if that's the case, a lot of the company's important data will be lost..."

“If you hesitate any longer, it won’t be as simple as just losing data,” Carl said calmly. “Do as I say.”

Middle-aged man: "Yes..."

......

Hotel room.

Ye Ge slowly opened her eyes.

Did it self-destruct?

Ha, not bad at all.

"Xiao Ye! Come quickly and see what's wrong with Xue'er?" Xia Xiyao said anxiously, supporting Gao Shenxue.

"Don't worry, it's alright." Ye Ge knew that Gao Shenxue's personal system had also been infected by the virus, but it didn't matter. He had already blocked the receiving source on the other side, so the data would not be transmitted back. All he had to do next was help her kill the virus.

Ye Ge came to Gao Shenxue's side and extended a finger to touch her brow.

Then he closed his eyes, preparing to use the Heavenly Dao System to remove the virus.

"Ok?"

Ye Ge paused for a moment, then opened her eyes again.

Xia Xiyao asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Ge did not respond, seemingly lost in thought.

Xue'er's system was not hacked or completely controlled like Zhang Kun's and Gao Qian's systems.

Could it be that Xue'er herself blocked the virus?

......

At this moment, Gao Shenxue stood alone in a world with a completely white background.

There was no sound around; the entire space was eerily quiet.

As far as the eye could see, all was white; there was nothing there.

There wasn't even a shadow of her where the girl was standing.

Gao Shenxue wasn't even sure if she was standing on actual ground.

Against a snow-white background, rows of data codes flickered intermittently in the air.

The code seemed so close, and the girl reached out in confusion, but her fingers passed right through the transparent code.

Gao Shenxue's clear eyes were slightly bewildered.

She felt a sense of familiarity with the arrangement of those codes, a familiarity that seemed to emanate from the deepest recesses of her brain, yet she couldn't quite place where she had seen them before...

"Are these...a computer virus?"

Gao Shenxue murmured to herself.

For some reason, the girl had a vague feeling that she knew the pattern in the arrangement of these codes...

It was as if certain memories in my mind had been awakened.

Gao Shenxue hesitated for a moment, then tried to control the arrangement of these codes with her consciousness.

Sure enough, all the code began to move according to her will...

......

Takashi Yuki woke up.

A pair of beautiful, obsidian-like pupils finally regained focus.

However, at this moment, the girl's beautiful face was covered with tears.

For some reason, a complex mix of sadness, loneliness, desolation, and sorrow filled the girl's heart and wouldn't go away...

Ye Ge, Xia Xiyao, and Bai Xueling sat around Gao Shenxue.

"Xue'er, what's wrong with you?"

Xia Xiyao looked at her with great concern and heartache: "Why are you crying?"

Then she turned to Ye Ge and asked, "Xiao Ye, what happened?"

Ye Ge didn't respond, because he didn't know what was going on either.

This was the first time he had ever seen a young girl's tears.

Although they were childhood sweethearts who grew up together, from the time Yege could remember, Shenxue Mama's emotions were as stable as an unmelting glacier, and even the most serious events could not cause her emotions to change.

Her expression was always as clear as a lake, and no matter what happened, it could not cause the slightest ripple on her beautiful face.

Sometimes, Yege even wondered if the cerebral cortex in Shenxue's mother's brain, which is responsible for secreting emotions, was different from that of normal people, which led to her unique personality.

This is the first time I've ever seen anything like this today...

Ye Ge reached out and wiped away the glistening tears rolling down Gao Shenxue's fair cheeks: "Xue'er, are you feeling unwell?"

"I'm fine..." Gao Shenxue said softly, the tears still flowing down her face, which seemed somewhat out of place with her calm and composed expression.

She paused, slowly lowered her head, and continued softly, "I just don't know why, but I feel inexplicably lonely."

Night Song asked in confusion: "Loneliness?"

Gao Shenxue shook her head, said nothing, slowly leaned forward and hugged Ye Ge, burying her head in Ye Ge's chest and tightly hugging his neck.
