My Ability Can Alter Multiplications - Chapter 20

Chapter 20 Catching the Thief

Kada Server Company was not a small company. It had an independent office building with a large number of servers inside. It was a private server company. Luo Xin parked the car in the parking lot and got out of the car with Allie. They then walked to the company building.

The mission this time was long so he couldn’t leave Allie in the car.

He wouldn’t be able to settle her meals, toilet breaks, and sleep.

This time, it was a private job, so the two of them also changed their clothes, looking different from usual.

Luo Xin was wearing a jacket and a pair of sunglasses, looking like a gangster.

Allie took off her dress, and her ponytails fell over her shoulders. She put on a cap, a loose t-shirt, a star jacket, a pair of shorts, black silk, and a pair of sneakers. She looked like a little girl on the street.

The two of them entered the company.

Someone came to the front desk to receive them.

A middle-aged man in a suit walked up and asked for the purpose of their visit with a smile on his face. After explaining the purpose of their visit, the other party immediately reported it. Not long after, an old man walked out.

Although his hair was white, he was still very energetic. He was one of the people in charge of the company.

“My surname is Mu. You can call me Boss Mu,” Boss Mu said politely.

Although he looked at the two of them with a puzzled expression, he did not show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he asked as per the protocol, “May I ask if the two of you have any certified qualifications?”

Luo Xin didn’t answer. Instead, he released his aura and asked, “Is this enough proof?”

Boss Mu’s face turned white before he recovered. He smiled and said, “I’ve misjudged you. You’re so powerful at such a young age. May I know your name?”

“Just call me V,” Luo Xin replied.

Boss Mu immediately understood and stopped asking. Instead, he began to talk about the information on the commission.

Their company was a server rental company. Two months ago, someone implanted a virus into the server through the internal network port, causing the entire server to crash and be unable to run.

Every time it was repaired, it would be hacked again.

They knew who had done it. The culprit was their competitor.

However, without any evidence, the two sides could only fight secretly.

Boss Mu sighed, “I don’t know where this expert is from. He comes and goes without a trace. Every time he inserts a virus through the intranet, we can’t catch him even though we’ve hired some people to guard it.”

“Is there a mole in the company?” Luo Xin asked.

Boss Mu shook his head and said, “No, it’s not a mole. The other party invaded at night. Both sides fought face to face, but the people we invited didn’t even get to see the other party’s face.”

Luo Xin nodded, opened his watch, and started taking notes. He said, “Tell me all the details.”

After a series of exchanges, Luo Xin had a rough idea of the situation they were facing.

There were a total of six internal network access ports here, scattered in different places. After the intruders infiltrated this place, they would enter the virus through these ports.

The invasion time was always at night.

The exact number of people was unknown.

The intruder had the ability to become invisible, had high mobility, and had patience. He was also proficient in hacking and could crack the password of the intranet on the spot.

The last few times, the guards had either been played by the other party or had been careless and allowed the other party to succeed.

After a few exchanges of fists, they didn’t even get to see the other party’s figure.

Boss Mu said, “After our server is updated, the other party will launch an attack within three days. It has been like this for the past few times. Please protect this place at night and catch the thief.”

Luo Xin nodded and said, “30,000 star dollars per night. If we fail, we won’t charge you.”

Boss Mu said, “Okay, we’ll update the server now. We expect to complete the update by tomorrow afternoon. Please be there on time.”

Both sides reached an agreement.

Luo Xin brought Allie around the company to familiarize themselves with the terrain.

This company occupied a large section of the building, with more than 100 floors, and there were many large servers inside. Each server was cylindrical in shape, nearly 50 meters long, and crossed more than a dozen floors, embedded in the center of the building.

The internal structure was complex.

There were quite a few passages through which one could sneak in.

Luo Xin and Allie discussed their plan.

The next afternoon.

The toy car drove into the company’s dedicated parking lot, and Boss Mu personally came to receive the two of them.

“Mr. V, the server update has been completed, “Boss Mu said sincerely, “I’ll have to trouble the both of you for the next few days.”

Luo Xin nodded and said, “Tell your staff to leave. Get the cleaners to clean and disinfect the entire building. We’ll make some arrangements in advance.”

Boss Mu immediately issued a notice.

When the hundreds of employees heard that they were leaving early, they happily packed their things and left. A few janitors controlled a few cleaning machines to clean the company and sprayed disinfectant.

In this era, cleaning work was just staring at a machine.

The disinfectant was also a high-tech product.

It didn’t have a pungent smell, and it even emitted a faint jasmine fragrance. It had many functions such as disinfection, sterilization, metal maintenance, mold-proof, smell-free, dust-adhering, dirt-disintegrating, non-toxic and harmless.

In densely populated areas, it would be sprayed once a day.

After the janitors finished their work and placed the machines back in place, they bid farewell to Luo Xin and left.

Luo Xin and Allie were the only ones left in the huge company.

“Let’s get to work,” Luo Xin said while stretching

The two of them went to the parking lot first.

The trunk of the toy car opened, and palm-sized figurines spurted out of the trunk. There were hundreds and thousands of them, and they floated around Allie like stars surrounding the moon.

Allie left with the toys. She wanted to set up these toys in every corner of the company.

Luo Xin took out a can from the car.

It was a bottle of disinfectant.

It smelled like lavender.

He took the disinfectant with him.

He sealed off all the roads that led to the company.

He locked the entrance door and the windows were closed.

The ventilation pipe was sealed.

He sprayed some disinfectant on these places.

If someone were to pass through these places and get a little bit of disinfectant on them, it would form an odor mark. It would be useless for the other party to cover up the smell in advance. The disinfection water had a very strong absorption effect.

Half an hour later, Luo Xin and Allie returned to the office, where the entire company was under surveillance.

The next step was to wait.

Allie had brought a lunchbox. Dinner and supper had been settled.

It was now nighttime.

Luo Xin was lying on the sofa and was bored. He glanced at Allie. The little loli had her eyes closed and was not moving at all. She was controlling the toys and inspecting the company’s interior.

After staring at Allie for a while, Luo Xin suddenly thought of something.

Allie was not human.

She was a person from the star guard race.

Although they looked the same as humans, their body structures and racial habits were different.

Although they had lived together for a few days, he did not feel any difference.

He turned on his watch and searched for information on the star guard race.

After checking, Luo Xin found something strange.

The star guard race was actually a companion race.

Forming a master-servant relationship with the star race, they were born to be a slave race. Although they were a companion race, the star guard race’s talent attribute was very strong.

Luo Xin was confused, so he searched the history of the two races.

The star race had become the main race not because they were powerful, but because of their unique astrology. They could predict the future and avoid danger. The two races worked together and stepped into the interstellar era.

The star guard race was extremely submissive and would recognize their master. After their master was confirmed, they would do their best to assist their master. In the tradition of the star guard race, the concept of loyalty was particularly serious to them, and it was engraved in their DNA and cultural matrix.

After entering the interstellar era, this concept weakened a lot. However, it was difficult to change something that was engraved into the DNA.

Luo Xin continued to search for information on the star guard race.
