Chapter 8
A young man's voice echoed within a luxurious room equipped with the latest technology in the world. In silence, four pairs of sharp eyes were glued to the large screen that showed the latest report of the new heaven defying hacker who surprised the whole world in just one day.
The hacker's codename was TEUFUL.
Why would this hacker be labelled as heaven defying?
Well, here's the story…
In this world, a ghost website named as Deep Black exists wherein no ordinary people could access this website. Only those with extraordinary programming and coding skills can access this website; hackers are the frequent visitors. In Deep Black, hackers may receive jobs, boast their achievements or just communicate with the other hackers without revealing their geographical location.
One day, an ambitious proclamation was done by a hacker with the codename, Teuful. This hacker stated that he/she will accomplish three things within the span of 24 hours. Her first goal was to cause a ma.s.sive shut down to any electronic appliances, devices, and even gadgets in the capital city of *Lischebroad, the Averand City. At first, the hackers wouldn't believe it because in order to achieve the aimed shut down, it means that electronic gadgets that uses battery must be turned off too. Averand City's reputation as the
However, Teuful proved them wrong. Averand City seemed to have been frozen when all electronic appliances, devices, and even gadgets turned off within a span of 6 hours. It was as if Averand City was cut off from technology itself causing the biggest panic in history.
The second goal was to hack into a military camp that keeps nuclear missiles. The national defense authority was notified and tightened the security level. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to stop Teuful's attack. 4 hours after the Attack in Averand City, a nuclear missile was launched without any consent and destroyed a private island owned by the Prime Minister of Lischebroad.
In the third goal, within the span of 14 hours, Teuful was going to accept coding challenges from all hackers around the globe with a registration fee of 10000. If the challengers would be able to defeat Teuful, they could receive 10 billion as a reward. A number of 1489 hackers, including the top 20 hackers in the world, dared to challenge Teuful but ended up in defeat.
The hackers around the world had now found their digital G.o.d. They started to wors.h.i.+p Teuful while the government loathed the new fearsome enemy, enough to put a 250 million bounty on Teuful's head. A storm of speculations emerged making the ma.s.s media in a flurry of reports.
"Is it even possible for us to catch this slippery prey?" One of the young men in the room broke the silence.
Another young man spoke, "I wasn't able to locate this guy at all but I managed to track this Teuful digging up some dirt on two specific companies while she was accepting challenges from other hackers. When we did an investigation on the two companies, we found no relations between the two except for the fact that the CEOs of both companies have daughters that study at Celestial Kingdom."
When the group inside the room heard the words Celestial Kingdom, one let out a chuckle while the other two frowned. The group then continued on with their conversation while using up their brain cells to cook up a plan on drawing out their prey.
On the other hand, a beauty was having a major problem of eye bags due to staying up for the whole night.
