Before even the director could say anything, Barry left the main computer room. He couldn’t help but feel confused. He went to the computer screen and looked at the same window.
“DragonRider97…. DragonRider97…. Wait, isn’t that Brian’s own account in New Gods?”
“It is deleted? How? How is this possible? What happened?”
At this moment, he panicked like never before. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing on the screen. He finally understand why Barry was shaking so much.
Barry rushed out of the main building while many people tried to greet him. But, he ignored them and rushed in front of a helicopter. He instantly opened the door and spoke.
“Take me to these coordinates!”
Saying so, he transferred the coordinates to the helicopter’s A.I. It responded immediately and flew toward Zone C.
UMA’s headquarter was made in the middle of most zones. It was created in a way to reach and control the outbreak from any corner of the world.
Zone C wasn’t that far from this place. While on the helicopter, he was constantly shaking. He couldn’t believe what happen was actually his fault.
He was constantly trying to calm down but no matter how much he tried, he couldn’t remain calm.
He knew the whole creation of New Gods was only because Brian wanted to get stronger and represent humanity for Chaos Online. He knew Brian planned everything in order to get stronger.
And now, he has made a huge mistake that would cost Brian a huge time. After twenty minutes, he finally reached Zone C. The helicopter flew toward the mansion while Barry opened his system and received Lily’s call.
“Please authorize before entering! Please authorize before entering!”-ɴ(0)ᴠᴇʟ.
Unless someone comes through the main gate, Lily will immediately act against them.
“Lily, it’s me, Barry.”
“Authorization complete! Mr. Barry, welcome to our home!”
After getting authorization, his helicopter finally moved closer and landed in the garden. Barry hurriedly came out of the helicopter and rushed to the door.
But just when he was pressing the bell, the door opened as Lena walked out.
She stared at Barry and asked, “Who are you?”
She was surprised to see someone this early in the morning. Barry didn’t recognize her but he didn’t care.
“Where is Brian? Call him fast! Something bad happened!” Barry hurriedly entered the room which made Lena frown but hearing something bad happen, she didn’t ask.
Inside Brian’s home, he got a notification from Lily about Barry’s arrival. He was laying next to Charlotte. Both of them were covering their bodies with sheets.
After getting notified though, he hurriedly got up and wore some clothes.
“What happened?” Charlotte frowned and asked. She just had one of the best times of her life and now, he was already walking away.
“Something bad happened! Barry is here to explain. Let’s go!” Brian didn’t say much and left the room. When he came out, he saw Barry. Barry also saw him. ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ
“Brian!”
Barry rushed toward him and hugged him hard for a moment.
“Man, I am really sorry. I really don’t know what happened. It just happened. I am sorry, man. I am really sorry.”
Brian frowned upon hearing his apology. He patted Barry’s head and spoke “Tell me, what happened? I know you couldn’t delete my account. We might have greater threats lurking in the shadows.”
Barry slowly let go and Brian took him to the couch. They sat and started talking.
“I don’t know what happened. The last thing I remembered was being knocked unconscious from the pressure released by the Werewolf King. I thought attending a conference with those people would be glorious but I didn’t know how dangerous it would be.”
“After I lost my consciousness, I woke up in the main computer room where I found that your account was deleted. But according to the director, I recovered my consciousness after Miss Seven healed me.”
“But, that wasn’t mean. I don’t remember anything at all. I wonder understand what is going on.”
Brian’s expression turned serious. Although his account being deleted from New Gods was really serious, this seemed a greater threat. Because it felt like someone was specifically targeting him.
He took a deep breath and called the director.
“Hello, director!”
“Brian, is Barry with you? What in the world is happening? Why was your account deleted without using our codes?” The director asked with concern.
Brian shook his head and said “Let’s not talk about the account for now. I want to know how Barry performed after the day he got knocked out by that pressure. Please, tell me everything!”
The director nodded his head and spoke “After he got knocked down, I asked Seven to heal him. She did heal him and soon he regained his consciousness. He performed normal yesterday.”
“It didn’t feel like it was someone else. But, one thing did strike me as a surprise. Barry is someone who likes to have fun while working but yesterday, all he did was something I would call ‘Following a schedule’.”
“Of course, I only find it odd so I didn’t ask him. And today morning, I found him on the floor unconscious. By the way, I just retrieved the footage of yesterday night.”
“All other cameras were disabled except that one you specifically connected to in the main computer room. I am sending you the footage.”
Beep!
The next moment, a video file appeared in front of him. He opened the video file in the virtual projection and it started.
In the video, Barry seemed to be working late. His colleagues left while he was still working. After everyone else, he finally stood up and walked toward the main computer room.
In the main computer room, Barry opened the main computer and opened the main processor. Through it, he started cracking the code that blocked his access to the main processor.
He continued to code. It took him the time from midnight to the morning to finally finish it. After he finished, he accessed the first level of control over the main processor.
He paused for a moment when he found that he still had to code more to get complete access. But after learning that he can still delete characters from this, he didn’t code further.
He deleted Brian’s account and suddenly his body trembled with shock. He fell down to the ground and a few seconds later, a small explosion occurred a few meters away from him.
“Lily, zoom it by 100x and also replay the last ten seconds.”
Lily proceed with his instruction and zoomed in. Only then, did they see a small bot coming out of his ear and exploding after eating a certain distance? They could still see a few letters on the bug.
[Mission Accomplished]
Seeing this, Brian turned silent. He was thinking about the entire situation and trying to find out who was the one that actually wanted to oppose him.
General!
That was his first guess. Emperor Wraith’s General was someone with high intellect to accomplish this but when he thought about it again, he realized it wouldn’t be him.
His codes were specifically created to be accessed by five different codes that stay with five directors. And, if someone wants to override them, they must form a creative set of algorithms that can change their set of codes and then access them.
But, that didn’t happen. What happened here was that someone used a specific code that froze his codes for a moment and thus, he deleted the account. After a certain period of time, those codes will be active once again.
That’s why the person who froze his codes couldn’t access the entire main processor.
“Brian…. Sorry! That bug took control of me because only I had the access to that room and also the password to open that computer.”
Being the main programmer in UMA, he was given a duty to implement or change anything in the server. And, only he can open that main computer to upload the new changes into the main processor.
Brian shook his head and said “Don’t worry, I already have a plan if something like this would ever happen to me. For now, you should go and take some rest.”
“After that, do something for me. I will send you a device that will absorb those nanoparticles of that bug. I believe those particles are still there. As long as I get those particles and recreate that bug, it will be easy to find the person who is targeting me.”
Barry hesitated for a while. In a single night, he crushed his closest friend’s path to becoming strong. At this moment, Charlotte patted his shoulder and smiled.
“Are you worried that he will hate you? He is your closest friend. You are his closest friend. In fact, he is angry because someone manipulated you to get to him.”
ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ “So, don’t worry! Return to UMA and take some rest.”
“Hooo”
Barry finally released a deep breath and cracked a smile.
“Thanks, Charlotte, and congratulations!”
His eyes immediately fell on the engagement ring. At the same time, he walked toward Brian and hugged him once again.
“I know it is not a good time to congratulate you. But, congratulations for being engaged!”
“Thanks, man! Now, go and take some rest. You need it.”
Finally, Barry left the mansion and the hall remained silent for a while until Lena asked “Who do you think is targeting you?”
Brian shook his head and said “I am not sure if I am going to find out. I am not going to let anyone get to me through my friends or families.”
