Chapter 542: Chapter 75: The Ternary Legion of Madness

As an advanced virus, before evolving, the binder virus was always muddle-headed, merely instinctually binding countless brainwares, neural programs, and human brain chips.

Maybe tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, eventually, it alerted the defenders of cyber space.

After that, unsurprisingly, it was captured by the cyber killer and thrown into Database 0.

However, this did not affect its behavior; it continued to deeply bind with various ’users,’ then invade, disrupt, and destroy them. The only thing was that these ’users,’ like it, were only viruses.

Finally, with the binding and evolution, its foundational thinking framework became increasingly stable, its intelligence grew, and it gradually realized its own uniqueness.

It was not only a virus but also a virus of viruses, and the stronger the users it bound to, the greater the power it could obtain.

So, it began its own hunting journey, right up until now, until it discovered a special user.

This user held a program that was very, very attractive to it.

And this program was the ’Crystal Ball.’

…

When the number of viruses is sufficient, the computer will ’crash.’ Undoubtedly, Gao Gong is currently in a crashed state.

Gao Gong squinted at this person in front of him; it was evident that the program created by the other party, or rather, the stability of the ’Simulation Crystal Ball’ was further enhanced, from 3 seconds, to 5 seconds, to 10 seconds.

The other party was attempting to bind this section of the ’Starry Sky Cloud Code.’

Once the binding succeeded, the opponent could unlock this crystal ball, releasing this strand of High-tier Civilization Mist—such an ’Information Nuclear Bomb’ capable of killing him.

Indeed, the opponent was courting death!

The problem was twofold: first, he did not believe he was courting death; second, if he died, Gao Gong would die too.

Thus, Gao Gong was genuinely bothered, not out of idleness but real pain caused by data overdraft combined with the infiltration of the human brain virus, resulting in large-scale chaos in his data form.

Expending his last bit of strength, he cast a ’Investigation’ skill on the opponent.

Name: Binder

Race: Human Brain Virus Mutation (87th Generation Binder Virus)

Tier: Tier 2

Level: 50

Personal Attributes: ???

Information Energy: ???

Skills: ???

Note: Seen those ’popup ads’? It’s the ultimate form of ’popup ads.’

Ads, the ultimate form moreover, damn it, I was born in an era of ’finding TV shows within ads,’ how could you compare with me.

Gao Gong internally ridiculed, barely turned his head, and spat out a ’data phlegm,’ his data layer had already ’festered.’

This mouthful of old phlegm startled the opponent. Binder, or more accurately, the Rich Lady Love Binding Machine jerked its head up, gazing at Gao Gong with a twisted expression.

“Why is your piece of code so hard to decipher, so hard to bind?”

More and more ’pretty boys’ looked up, their varied expressions gradually merging into one of disbelief.

Like a seasoned driver, suddenly one day, he found the belt on his pants was tied too tight, couldn’t get it down.

The beauty across still looked back at him with a perplexed gaze.

Face thoroughly lost.

’Nonsense, this code of mine is the underlying code of the virtual realm, genuinely high-tier code, able to withstand ascension-level strength, if you could break it in a short time, that would be truly odd.’

Of course, Gao Gong would not speak honestly but showed a peculiar smile instead: “Maybe I turned on the ’software intercept,’ how about trying a less appropriate website? Mine here is a green healthy adult site.”

“Or perhaps, you find others to try?”

Saying this, Gao Gong motioned with his chin towards the distant darkness, as though something was squirming in the shadows.

Undoubtedly, in Database 0, there are far more than just the current one ’big guy’; only under the act of the ’binder,’ they quietly wait, either for success, or—for failure.

The pretty boy glared at him, suddenly saying in unison: “I understand now, I want to become you!”

With that, lines of black bound into the flesh appeared on Gao Gong’s neck, hands, and feet, directly tied him up like a bundle and suspended him in mid-air. At the same moment, Gao Gong’s data flow started flashing, his figure flickering dark and bright, special computer virus garbled codes began to emerge.

Undoubtedly, the other party intended to deeply ’bind’ him, even planned to become him.

This is a commonly used trick by the human brain virus, called ’memory homogenization.’

’Hehe, hasn’t Binder always looked down on ordinary artificial data? So, finally, it chose complete assimilation?’

’Once assimilated, it will have weaknesses, haha, human brain virus, is most afraid of becoming human, I want to devour it!’

’Then don’t you wonder, why Binder would do this, that strange piece of ’code’, but absorbed something sealed on the door, how could you not be curious about that thing?’

No one responded, yet breathing in the darkness seemed to become heavier.

A strong sense of suffocation and oppression made Gao Gong extremely uncomfortable, while from various segments of memory, incessantly flashing pop-ups felt more like a form of ’brainwashing,’ once ’brainwashed successfully,’ Gao Gong would officially become part of the ’popup army.’

This fully proves a point, a fallen phoenix is worse than a chicken, not even a duck can perform well, persistence isn’t enough, relying solely on technique only lasts for a while, not for a lifetime, the virus never intended to play with technique at all.

But the stubborn duck, even if the source code started collapsing, Gao Gong didn’t forget to use trash-talk, struggling to mock:

“What, you think I clicked your popup just to learn those healthy and upright contents well? Do you truly believe you’re that great? If I weren’t a man of integrity and eager to learn, how could I fall for your tricks?”

Regarding Gao Gong’s sarcasm, the Rich Lady Love Binding Machine responded by having a thousand pretty boys reach out simultaneously, and in the next moment, someone collapsed into countless source codes, thoroughly assimilated.

This assimilation doesn’t resemble the style of the cyber killer; it’s even more overbearing.

Directly absorbing your memories, polluting your source code, making you the carrier of the virus, turning you into a minion for the ’tiger.’

A stream of memories far beyond the ’binder’s’ expectations flooded into his mind, the enormity of which caused a momentary stall in his assimilation.

“You can act now, Boss Lady.”

Gao Gong’s voice suddenly echoed in his ear.

Then the dark world turned into the red of gunfire.

’There’s someone else?’

All the viruses present were utterly shocked, and the one who came was her!?

About two months ago, a special virus entity suddenly entered Database 0; the peculiarity of this human brain virus lies not only in her terrifying combat power and strong assimilation ability but also in her seemingly unique dominion ability, which is extremely rare even in the virus library.

Under the effect of this ability, a human brain virus group called the Gox clan was formed.

Amidst the red light, there’s boundless gunfire, shark bombs, shark missiles, and various human brain virus weapons, incidentally, all these weapons bear a red ’Spider Shark’ emblem; these weapons can not only destroy but also infect viruses.

So within a short month, the Gox clan’s number of advanced viruses exceeded one hundred.

Garbled text, flashes, formats, user intimidation, system destruction, network paralysis…

Within the gunfire, shadow after shadow emerged, tall, short, fat, thin, none lacking, yet identical in the eccentric and frenzied smile on their lips.

No matter how strong the binding capacity of ’Binder,’ it couldn’t withstand such large scale attacks, and moreover, the trait of ’binder virus,’ it’s not suitable for such massive virus battles.

A group of pretty boys immediately, transformed into various data illusions, fled in all directions.

As long as one escapes, for viruses of this level, it equates to no harm at all.

However, one ’Rich Lady Love Prototype’ just ran out of the gunfire when a hand adorned with colorful painted nails shot out from the darkness, grabbing him by the neck and lifting him.

He experienced the same treatment as Gao.

“You can’t kill me, and if you do, he will die too,” the ’Rich Lady Love Prototype’ struggled to say.

“Oh.” Unconcerned voice of the girl.

His response was a Shark-brand Rocket Launcher thrust into his lower body.

Close-range explosion caused his lower body to disintegrate, blasted from flesh into data fragments, then turned data fragments into invalid code, finally spilling out a vast amount of sensory signals like colorful bubble balls.

A petite yet commanding figure emerged from the bubble balls, holding a machine gun in one hand, stepping on the face of the ’Prototype,’ laughing heartily.

“Little ones, kill these binary trash, the world belongs to us, the Three-Systemic Frenzy Legion!”
