Although China has been investigating and searching for the mastermind behind the murders, those terrorists are too ruthless and have cleaned up their tracks very well. They committed suicide after killing the victims, leaving very few useful traces.
It's impossible for Canghai City to have police on 24-hour patrols everywhere, but the police are already preparing to deploy large-scale unmanned equipment for protection.
The supercomputer at St. Freya Academy, which was only temporarily used, has already discovered an advanced artificial intelligence on the network that is suspected to belong to terrorists. Whether the deployment of unmanned equipment will be controlled is a very serious question.
In response to this crisis, China has been mobilizing more human, material, and financial resources.
However, these things have not yet affected the students of St. Freya.
Students at St. Freya need to continue attending school unless a larger and more horrific terrorist attack occurs.
The twin sisters, Alicia and Ali, also have to continue going to school.
As Alicia arrived at the classroom, students greeted her along the way, but kept their distance, because everyone knew that there was still some danger around Alicia.
This was a request made by Alicia herself, voluntarily asking others to stay away from her.
In fact, Alicia also wanted her younger sister Ali to stay away from her.
'Do you think those terrorists would let your twin sister, me, go?' That's what Ellie replied.
When they arrived at the classroom, the students no longer kept their distance from Alicia as they had on the way there, because the classroom windows and doors had been temporarily replaced with bulletproof ones, and the walls had been fitted with bulletproof plates.
As for the money for the renovation, a considerable portion came from St. Freya Academy, and another portion came from Ellie.
When Alicia arrived at the classroom, she unexpectedly saw another familiar person—Vilvie.
However, since today's class is a required course, it's normal to run into Vivi.
"Hi, Velvi," Alicia greeted Velvi, who wasn't feeling well, with a smile.
"Good morning," Ellie replied.
"Hello, everyone. Alice, Alice," Wilvi said with a slightly happy smile.
Meanwhile, Kevin and May were watching through the security cameras as Velvi and Alicia entered the heavily guarded classroom.
However, the feed was soon shut down because Ai's subprograms were being tracked online.
“They have discovered and tracked Ai’s subroutine, and are also physically disconnecting St. Freya Academy from the internet. This is our last chance; we must wake up Vervi as soon as possible,” May said calmly, looking at the closed screen.
"So what should we do?" Kevin asked.
"Go and take this small dragonfly drone to the vicinity of St. Freya Academy. It can carry some things, then give them directly to Velvie..."
"Poisoning"
Chapter 338 Suspicious Person
"Report! Suspicious individuals have been detected approaching St. Freya Academy!"
In the monitoring center near St. Freya College, a police officer suddenly reported nervously.
Inside this monitoring center are dozens of electronic screens that monitor all the roads leading to St. Freya Academy. Many police officers are watching the screens intently, not daring to miss any suspicious traces. This has been going on for several days.
"Conduct an immediate investigation."
The police inspector in charge of the monitoring center gave the order after hearing this.
There are actually quite a few people who approach St. Freya Academy in this way. After all, St. Freya Academy is not in a remote place, and many people pass by it.
Although the monitoring center's investigation of these passersby who walked past St. Freya Academy did not go to the point of getting to the bottom of things, it was able to find out almost all the publicly available information.
The police officer initially thought the suspicious person was just a passerby, but during the investigation, he discovered something: the location of the suspicious person's mobile phone was not near St. Freya Academy, but in the center of Canghai City. Coincidentally, he was active online.
The police officers immediately and quickly reported the situation.
The police inspector immediately came over to confirm, and then, both excited and angry, immediately applied for further investigation and contacted the passerby to confirm his identity.
The excitement stems from the possibility of finally finding traces of those damned terrorists, while the anger arises from the immense harm and impact those terrorists have caused to so many people.
The other officers all turned their attention to this side.
Because no trace of the terrorists had been found in the past few days, the Canghai City police were under immense pressure from all sides. Everyone in the police force was determined to find and eliminate these despicable terrorists as soon as possible.
Within three minutes, the passerby's information was also found out, and he himself had been contacted by the Canghai City police. However, the passerby in the monitoring center's footage did not receive any contact at all.
"It's now certain that he is very likely a terrorist in disguise!" In fact, the police inspector was already certain that he was a terrorist!
"Send someone to investigate immediately!"
The frontline police officers who were waiting and on guard quickly received orders from their superiors and drove their police cars toward the suspicious person. At St. Freya Academy, the fully armed special police officers also became alert.
At this moment, the police inspector in the monitoring center was not letting his guard down, fearing that the terrorist was another one who had used a diversionary tactic, killing two innocent civilians while assassinating students of St. Freya Academy last time.
The entire police force in Canghai City quickly became alert after discovering a highly suspicious person and began searching for anyone suspicious.
This workload is actually quite large. Canghai City is too big, with a population of tens of millions. Finding someone who is suspicious and has hidden their identity is a real challenge.
But we must overcome any difficulties.
Fortunately, St. Freya Academy's supercomputer array is fully supported by the police. Surveillance data from surveillance cameras throughout Canghai City is transmitted to the supercomputer array for rapid analysis and investigation of suspicious individuals.
At the same time, May's voice came through the headphones Kevin was wearing.
"Kevin, speed up! The police have spotted you!"
Kevin didn't say anything more, and then stopped a passing car.
The car that was stopped honked its horn at Kevin, but the response was a gunshot.
Kevin took a gun out of his backpack and fired a shot at a tree trunk.
The deafening gunshot startled the car owner. Then, the sound of a tree trunk falling made him instinctively look over, and he gasped in horror. The tree trunk, which had been shot, was now broken. One shot had snapped a tree in two.
Kevin then coldly opened the driver's side door, pulled out the car owner, and then punched him, knocking him to the ground.
Kevin got into the car, but he was surprised to find a terrified mother and daughter in the back seat. Just then, police cars arrived, and plainclothes officers were rapidly approaching.
"I'm sorry," Kevin thought to himself.
Kevin quickly closed the car door, then slammed on the gas, and the car shot off like an arrow.
"Damn it!!!" The car owner, who had been knocked to the ground, scrambled to his feet like a madman, cursing as he chased after the departing car, which still had his wife and children inside!
By this time, the police had arrived. The car owner stumbled and fell to the ground while running. Several police officers rushed over to help him up, and several police cars and motorcycles sped past on the road.
"Save them! Save them!" the car owner cried and begged the police as if he had seen a savior.
"Chase them!" The police officers were all filled with rage.
Many police cars and even helicopters in Canghai City were mobilized.
"Attention all units! Terrorists have taken hostages! Attention all units! Terrorists have taken hostages!"
Reports were also coming in through the police's communications.
However, just as the police were about to surround and intercept Kevin, they suddenly discovered that their electronic devices were malfunctioning, being filled with a large amount of junk data, and their communication devices were receiving all sorts of random noises.
The police's communication systems were affected.
"Damn it, investigate immediately!!!" Inside the supercomputer center of St. Freya Academy, the police inspector cursed and immediately began a counterattack. The terrorists even had advanced artificial intelligence (AI)?!
Police cyber experts are leveraging the computing power of supercomputers to rapidly track down and intercept the terrorists' artificial intelligence (AI) online.
Not long after, Mei, who lived in a county near Canghai City, saw that Ai Yi's subroutine had been caught and killed online.
Mei wasn't surprised. After all, it was just Ai's subroutine and didn't have enough computing power to support it. It just hadn't been discovered before, so it wasn't strange that it was killed now that it had been discovered.
Artificial intelligence (AI) may be powerful, but it still requires sufficiently powerful computing power to support its capabilities. It is impossible for AI to be invincible on the internet; that would require at least truly strong artificial intelligence or electronic life.
Although the Canghai City police do not have artificial intelligence (AI), they have the supercomputer of St. Freya Academy. They simply and brutally crushed Ai's subroutine in terms of computing power.
"I'm going back now," Mei said to Kevin as her last words. She then heard the sound of emergency brakes and footsteps. Police and special police from the county had arrived at where Mei was now living.
Mei then calmly lit a fire, and then pulled out a dagger and committed suicide.
By the time the police and SWAT teams realized something was wrong, the flames were already raging.
Canghai City, near St. Freya Academy
Guided by the backup of the Aisin program, Kevin bypassed one police car after another, but with the arrival of the helicopter, he knew it was time for him to log off.
At this moment, the backup of Ai's subprogram was also written into the mechanical dragonfly that Kevin brought. He drove into the non-motorized vehicle lane and quickly released the mechanical dragonfly. Then he continued to step on the gas pedal to buy time for the mechanical dragonfly to poison him.
'well'
Seeing the police cars and helicopters chasing from all directions, Kevin sighed inwardly, his guilt and remorse still lingering in his heart.
But his inner conviction kept convincing him that this was a necessary sacrifice.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the engine of Kevin's car was damaged by the sniper, but not completely. The engine gradually stopped working, and the car quickly came to a stop.
Kevin skillfully lit himself on fire, then opened the car door and got out. Amid shouts of surrender and the order to drop their weapons, Kevin was about to shoot himself when a sniper shattered his arm, and the gun fell to the ground.
In desperation, Kevin pulled out a dagger and stabbed himself in the heart. Soon, flames erupted on his body, but then a high-pressure water cannon sprayed onto Kevin's corpse.
Fortunately, none of the hostages on the bus were in mortal danger.
However, not long after, the police received another message.
"...What?! Vilvie has been poisoned to death!"
Chapter 339 Poison Gas
Around 6 p.m., Velvi, Alicia, and Ali were having dinner together in a small canteen. They had been eating there for the past few days to prevent terrorists from finding an opportunity to kill them.
They knew nothing about what was happening outside of St. Freya Academy.
At this time, many security personnel were watching everything around them near the small canteen.
A dragonfly flew down from the sky. This dragonfly looked no different from an ordinary dragonfly, flying aimlessly around and quietly approaching Vilvie.
At this moment, Velvet was thinking about a spider-shaped robot, the one that had infiltrated St. Freya Academy before, which also seemed to be made by those terrorists.
Vilvi witnessed the wreckage of the spider robot firsthand. It was quite large and was quickly shot and destroyed after being discovered by security personnel.
Out of interest, Velvi had the opportunity to participate in the analysis of the spider robot's remains. However, during the analysis, Velvi felt that the robot's structure was very familiar, as if, as if she had designed it herself.
But how could that be? Velvet doesn't recall designing or building these spider robots.
Dreamland
While eating dinner, Vervi recalled her dream. Memories from the dream gradually surfaced in her mind. In the dream, she seemed to have indeed participated in the manufacture of various weapons and equipment, including various robots.
But that was just a dream.
Vilvi was completely baffled.
Alicia and Ali were having dinner opposite Velvi, and when they saw Velvi deep in thought, they did not disturb her.
However, what the three of them didn't notice was that a dragonfly had silently flown into the small canteen.
The security personnel didn't notice it at first, but they were constantly observing their surroundings and spotted the dragonfly within seconds of it flying in.
In those few short seconds, the dragonfly swooped down toward Vervi.
"Get out of the way!!!" the security personnel near Velvi shouted, and then rushed towards Velvi to protect her.
But by this time, the dragonfly that had flown to Vilvie's side had opened its tail, and a colorless poisonous gas was spreading out.
Vervi smelled a sweet scent, and at that moment, the security personnel tackled Vervi to the ground to protect her, but it was too late.
Both of them inhaled the poison gas.
"Vilvie!" Alicia panicked and tried to go over, but the security personnel who arrived grabbed her and Alicia and took them away immediately.
Other security personnel also fired shots, smashing the dragonfly, and quickly led Vervie, who had inhaled the toxic gas, and her security personnel away, while simultaneously providing them with emergency first aid.
The poison gas just acted too quickly.
Wilvi soon felt excruciating pain all over her body, the pain from the inside out made her scream in agony.
Alicia couldn't resist wanting to hug Velvi, but the security personnel held her back tightly, determined not to let Alicia be in any more danger.
"Aili...hope...Ya"
Vervi's gaze was fixed on Alicia.
"I...don't...want to die"
Blood began to gush from Velvi's mouth, nose, ears, and eyes. As she lay dying, Velvi's murmurs filled Alicia with immense sorrow and pain.
At this moment, the security personnel who were providing emergency care also stopped in silence, and the doctors who rushed to the scene also fell silent. Both Vervi and the security personnel who had inhaled the poison gas were already dead.
Seeing Velvi die before her eyes, Alicia collapsed into Ali's arms, weeping bitterly, her tears soaking Ali's clothes.
As Velvi gradually regained consciousness and opened her eyes, she saw Mebius, Aponia, and Mei, who should have been dead.
