I'll Add Points To All Things Chapter 795 – Superpower Outsmarted By Technology?

Chapter 795: Superpower Outsmarted By Technology?

Because this matter was too strange, Su Yang looked at the glass phone in his hand and asked Little Deeny, who was beside him, “Little Deeny, what's going on? Is it because I used the glass phone in virtual space?”

A blue light flashed across Little Deeny's eyes, and then he said in confusion, “That shouldn't be the case. In the virtual world, it doesn't matter whether you use the virtual interface or the glass phone, it's just a medium.”

She added, “Also, I just checked our communication status. There's nothing wrong with the operator's line. However, it's true that there is no sound being transmitted.”

At that moment, suspicion was written all over Su Yang's face. 'Something's not quite right. If Wang Dong had called the wrong number, then he should have hung up the phone directly, or there would have been no sound at all, rather than him actually greeting me.

'However, if he had not made the wrong call, there should have been more content after he greeted me.

'Even if I take a whole load of steps back, he should have hung up the phone directly after he regretted making the phone call, rather than staying silent for 10 seconds before hanging up.'

The more Su Yang thought about it, the more he felt that something was amiss. After hesitating for a while, he took out his phone and sent Wang Dong a WeChat message. 'Did you call me just now?'

Wang Dong replied very quickly. 'Huh? Yes, I did.'

Su Yang saw that Wang Dong's behaviour did not seem to have tallied with how he had been silent for more than 10 seconds a moment ago, so he immediately called Wang Dong via WeChat.

A moment later, the call was answered. Wang Dong's puzzled voice sounded. “What's wrong, Mr. Su? Is there a problem with what I said just now?”

Su Yang's heart skipped a beat. “What did you just say?”

At that moment, Wang Dong, who was in his rented apartment, was completely confused as he said, “I just told you about the Wangs.”

'The Wangs?'

Su Yang's frown deepened as an ominous feeling in his heart grew.

Suddenly, knocking came from the other end of the phone.

There was a knock on the door and Su Yang heard a woman's voice saying, “Who is it? Please wait a moment.” Then, there was the sound of footsteps.

The ominous feeling in Su Yang's heart soared to its peak. With a flash of inspiration, he figured everything out. He hurriedly shouted towards the phone, “Wang Dong! Don't open the door!”

On the other end, when Wang Dong received Su Yang's call, his mind was filled with doubts.

Even though Su Yang did not say a word when he was talking to Su Yang about the Wangs, he thought that it was because Su Yang did not want to talk to him and his speech was coherent.

Later, Su Yang sent him a WeChat message and a voice message, asking him what he had said. He felt weird, but his muddled brain could not guess what had happened.

In the end, someone knocked on the door, but Su Yang shouted for him not to open it. Hence, he was even more confused, not knowing what Su Yang was doing.

Just as he was stunned, his girlfriend opened the door.

Outside the door were five big men in black suits, dressed like the people from the Wangs whom Wang Dong had seen in the afternoon. When they saw the door open, they immediately pushed it open roughly. Then, two big men grabbed Wang Dong's girlfriend mercilessly, while the other three rushed towards Wang Dong!

When Wang Dong's girlfriend saw this scene, she could not help wanting to scream out in horror. However, her mouth was directly covered by one of the men, and she could only let out muffled sounds.

While Wang Dong was in a state of shock, he could only rely on his instincts to shout, “What are you guys doing!” Immediately after, he was pressed onto the ground by the three hunks and similarly covered his mouth…

At the same time, Su Yang, who heard Wang Dong's shout, had a dark expression.

At that moment, how could he not know that something had happened to Wang Dong?

In the two sentences that Wang Dong said earlier, Su Yang roughly guessed the truth of the matter. 'The Wangs might have gone to look for Wang Dong to look for some unspeakable secrets, such as wanting to frame me or dig up dirt on me.

'Although Wang Dong ended up rejecting the Wangs, he has no idea just how powerful they are. Hence, he wanted to warn me about them.

'In the end, he didn't expect that the Wangs were able to control the cellphone base station or even his cellphone's communication route nearby. When they detected Wang Dong calling me, they immediately jammed the call and have now sent people over to capture Wang Dong, the informant.

'So, obviously, it was the Wangs who had gone knocking on Wang Dong's door.'

Hearing Wang Dong's shout, Su Yang knew that his guess was right. And he also knew that with the Wangs's methods, Wang Dong would very likely disappear from this world if he was captured.

At that moment, Su Yang hesitated a little.

Although Wang Dong had once left him when he needed him the most, no matter what, he was still the person who had accompanied Su Yang when they first opened up the company. Thus, the two of them still had some ties. Furthermore, this time, Wang Dong rejected the Wangs and was now in a crisis because he leaked the news to Su Yang. Hence, it was only logical that Su Yang could not leave him alone.

At that thought, Su Yang no longer hesitated as he looked at Little Deeny. “Little Deeny, locate Wang Dong's position.”

Little Deeny was stunned for a moment. “Master, how do we locate him? Wang Dong isn't using our glass phone. I don't have the ability to hack into other companies' servers for the time being, so I can't find him.”

Su Yang said firmly, “Search for Wang Dong's accounts from both of our apps and locate him through his phone. Although he left his job, there's a high probability that he didn't delete the two apps.”

Su Yang's way of thinking was very simple. Humans were a type of creature that loved to “compare” and be “nostalgic”. Hence, even after resigning from a company, it was very normal for that person to pay attention to that company's news. Thus, Su Yang thought that Wang Dong might not be an exception.

Even though there were people who would not do that, Su Yang could only take a gamble since there was no better way.

Fortunately, Su Yang won the bet. With Su Yang's train of thought, it did not take Little Deeny more than a second to obtain the access rights to Wang Dong's Findme app's account.

Then, with a wave of her hand, a full map and a route's map appeared before Su Yang.

Su Yang memorized the map seriously and gave Little Deeny and the little monsters a few instructions. Then, he raised his hands up high and lowered them slowly.

As he slowly descended, the space and time around him were immediately frozen, Su Yang had activated his Ranked Silver Ability [Hands Of Fate].

After using his ability, Su Yang left the virtual space and hovered above the hotel like a giant god.

He then recited the address of the rental apartment Wang Dong was renting and flew across the entire Shanghai.

One minute later, Su Yang arrived at Wang Dong's location.

Because there was a difference in positioning, he could only know the geographical location and not which floor he was at. Hence, Su Yang entered the building and searched through the floors.

Time continued to tick by…

Finally, he found Wang Dong's rental apartment at the moment when the time limit of how long he could freeze time for, 10 minutes, was approaching.

In the frozen scene, Wang Dong's girlfriend was pressed against the door by two men in black, covering her mouth. Her frozen face was filled with fear and terror. Wang Dong, on the other hand, was also pressed against the ground by three men, his face filled with confusion and shock.

Hence, Su Yang did not waste any time. With a wave of his hand, he sent all seven of them into two dark basement rooms in the virtual space.

Then, with another wave of his hand, the door closed, and he entered the virtual space.

The next moment, the ability got deactivated and time returned to normal.

In fact, the soundproofing of the rental house Wang Dong was living in was obviously not very good because Wang Dong's shouts earlier and the fighting noises as he opened the door still spread out a little. Thus, a neighbor opened the door curiously and looked over, but he only saw a tightly shut door, as if it had never been opened.

Then, the neighbour leaned his head in to listen again to make sure there was no sound. After that, he shook his head and closed the door. 'I might have been hearing things…'

At that moment, in the virtual space, Su Yang felt a lingering fear. The race against time he had just gone through made his heart race.

'Just a second ago, I was still stargazing with Little Deeny, Little Hus, and the rest. The next second, such a huge incident happened. If not for his alertness, Wang Dong and his wife might have been thrown into the sea to feed the fish.

'But, no matter what, everything turned out well. At the very least, Wang Dong's crisis is temporarily resolved and I've also had time to understand the situation specifically.'

With that thought in mind, Su Yang went down to the basement and went to the room where Wang Dong and his girlfriend were kept.

At that moment, the husband and wife were hugging each other tightly in the dark room. They did not know what to do. On top of that, their memory still lingered on the moment they opened the door and saw the five men rushing in.

One second, they were being pressed down, and the next second, they realized that their vision had turned black, and it felt like they had been moved into a completely dark room.

This series of events made them feel like they were living in a dream.

Then, Su Yang opened the door and slammed the hourglass on the wall. He needed to know the details in the shortest time possible.

Very soon, Wang Dong's memory labyrinth appeared in front of Su Yang. Su Yang looked through Wang Dong's recent memories and found out about the whole story, as well as… Wang Dong's guilt and repentance towards him.

However, Su Yang did not feel guilty or repentant because of Wang Dong. There was no fluctuation on his face in fact, because In his opinion, it was really too late…

'There are just some things that disappear once it's missed…'

After checking Wang Dong's memories of the Wangs, Su Yang stopped the hourglass. He had a rough understanding of the Wangs and Wang Dong.

After that, he left Wang Dong's memory labyrinth, then turned around and left the room mercilessly.

As the door closed, darkness filled the room again.

To Wang Dong and his girlfriend, they only saw a person walking in before turning around and walking out. They did not even see who it was because Su Yang's back was facing the light in the corridor the entire time, so only his silhouette could be seen.

As for Su Yang, he had already found out everything he needed to know.

After exiting the room, Su Yang threw the hourglass to Qing Zhu, who was waiting outside. Qing Zhu took the hourglass, and Satantan immediately spat out blood from his throat, dyeing the hourglass red. The sand in the hourglass returned to the surface and reset the number of times it could be used.

After that, Qing Zhu bowed to Su Yang and went to the room next door. She then copied Su Yang's maneuvers and checked the memories of one of the men in black.

After checking his memory, she walked out and handed the hourglass to Little Deeny. Little Deeny then handed her a tape recorder, which was [A Videotape To Record Good Memories], allowing Qing Zhu to record everything that she had seen.

Hence, Qing Zhu took the tape, pressed it to her forehead, and began recording her memories. Meanwhile, Little Deeny took the hourglass and walked into the room…

Just like that, the little monsters took turns to enter the room, reading and recording the memories of the five men in black.

Finally, Gru, who had extended its limbs, released the five men in black and walked out of the room. It was also because it controlled these men in black that the monsters' memory inspection became simple.

The reason why Su Yang used such complicated operations was mainly because the side effects of the [Memory Labyrinth Hourglass] were too great, so Su Yang did not dare to let himself or any particular little monster use it six times in a row. If that happened, either one of them might go crazy.

After recording all the memories, Su Yang had Little Deeny's doppelgangers take a look at the memories and summarize the information.

Compared to Wang Dong only knowing a portion of his information, the information these men in black knew was clearly more comprehensive.

Soon, Su Yang found out the whole story.

“Seven people have been chosen… Six people are resigned employees… One current employee of a management agency… They arranged to talk to each other on the phone and undergo data surveillance to prevent any information from being leaked. They were specially sent to follow and remain on standby at close range…” Su Yang repeated the information that he had obtained and sighed. “The Wangs… They really cannot be underestimated. This operation of theirs is really foolproof…

“If you don't have any special abilities,” Su Yang added silently.

After learning about this, Su Yang looked at Little Deeny. “Did they not trigger the [Eye Of Origins] when they talked about this?”

The [Eye Of Origins] could monitor anyone who mentioned Su Yang's name.

Little Deeny shook his head. “No, Master.”

Su Yang frowned. 'Something's not right here.'

However, Little Deeny had her own guesses. “Master, there might be a possibility that our enemies have guessed the key word to trigger the [Eye Of Origins].”

Su Yang looked up at Little Deeny, waiting for her explanation.

Little Deeny had a pair of black glasses on her eyes, making her look like a teacher who was lecturing. She said seriously, “Actually, in the internet age, everyone's privacy is constantly being invaded by large companies.”

“For example, we want to buy a phone… As long as we search for any kind of phone online once, and whatever app we open from then on, will have advertisements that are related to phones.

“This technology is called “Big Data”.”

“Later, because the search triggers were too primitive and outdated, the large companies started to try to find out what people needed from their lives and conversations.

“Initially, someone suggested recording the whole process and analyze the user from behind the scenes.

“However, this idea was quickly rejected. Because if the whole process was recorded, not only would the phone need a large storage space, but it would also need to be uploaded to the internet, and it would be easily discovered. In the 4G era, this kind of operation was almost impossible.”

“Therefore, after some research, the large companies pinpointed a method to use the big data to “invade” people's lives, through keywords.

“They will set up many keywords in advance according to people's needs, such as cell phones, cars, teeth cleaning, houses, loans… And so on. As long as people say these keywords in their lives, they will trigger the keyword surveillance.”

“After monitoring the user triggering the keywords, the data will be uploaded, and various apps, software, and websites can be used to promote advertisements.”

Su Yang nodded in realization. He finally understood why he had unintentionally mentioned the word 'doll' not long ago. In the end, he was given many advertisements for 'human trafficking'.

However, he still asked in confusion, “What does this have to do with my ability?”

Little Deeny said, “Master, if your [Eye Of Origins] wants to trigger the ability of [Descent], it is similar to [Big Data]. Both of them have to trigger the keywords, which is “Su Yang”.”

Su Yang recalled that it was indeed so on the system notification.

Little Deeny continued, “I'm guessing the other party thinks that since we have artificial intelligence, we might have similar large data surveillance abilities. Hence, as long as they say your name in front of a phone or some devices, they will trigger our surveillance systems.

“So they started to replace your name with some nicknames to avoid triggering the surveillance cameras.

“For example, using words like “that person”, “Mr. Su”, and so on.

“Because there are too many people who can use this term, the number of possible keywords would be very vast. Even if there are surveillance cameras, the effective information will be hidden in the sea of information. It can effectively prevent keywords from being monitored.”

Su Yang was speechless when he heard this.

'So, my superpower has “accidentally” clashed with “technology”, causing the enemy to be on guard?

'No wonder I couldn't find out about the enemies I have recently encountered through the [Eye Of Origins].'

At that thought, Su Yang was silent for a moment. 'I've got to find a way to solve this problem. Otherwise, I might have a huge problem!

'This time, I managed to discover the Wangs's conspiracy because of Wang Dong's report and my own quick-wittedness. Next time… I might very well be caught off guard.

'Such as… The sniper on the rooftop that day.'
