Chapter 146 - 148: Tracking skills
[I’ve been using AI a lot to make this novel readable but after reading a book that is filled with AI correction, I find it odd and robotic. After reading this novel and reflecting about it, I decided to used AI for correction if its only necessary, just like I can’t express something that I want to show... Something like that!
So at this moment on, maybe you will experience a lot of ungrammatical sentences, please bear with me]
...
In just a span of minutes he had already reached his place. After stepping inside, he immediately opened his laptop.
The reason he needed to return and use his laptop was because he had left his phone behind.
Now that he was back, using the laptop would be much faster for what he needed to do.
Since he had already started this task, of course he would do his best. Unknowingly his eyes grew cold as his fingers moved across the keyboard with lightning speed.
He slowly gained access to the CCTV feeds from every road they had passed during the so-called date with Jessica.
After entering each system, he discovered that all the data had been deleted, which only confirmed how powerful this group truly was.
After restoring the deleted footage, he noticed something peculiar. Because when he was recovering.
The actual method used to erase the evidence was exactly the same as what he had seen earlier in the case of the girl who had been assaulted.
The pattern, it’s timing, the digital wiping, even the structure of the files all of it exactly matched. It’s really not a 100 percent, but the method that was used cannot be differentiated.
"The same process or just a coincidence? Don’t tell me are they from the same group? This is giving me a hunch that the man in that video is the one behind this," he muttered to himself.
As he pondered about this possibility, he finally spotted something on one of the roadside CCTVs. It was the same car the gangsters had used.
He immediately began tracing it through every available camera, jumping from one feed to the next.
With each switch, it felt like he had eyes scattered across the entire place. After the car took several turns, weaving through different districts.
The travel took about an hour as the final camera showed it heading toward the mountains. After that point, no more CCTVs existed.
The trail ended abruptly, as the only left was the unmonitored roads leading into the hills.
The mountain was wide and if he went there now without any lead, he would need a huge amount of time to locate anything.
He was in a hurry and searching blindly would only slow him down. There was a saying that haste leads to waste, and it definitely applied to situations like this.
But as his impatience slowly grew, he decided it was time to bring out the bigger tools.
"Fine if the cameras stop, then I’ll use something higher." he said which sounded a little cringed.
After saying that he opened EIDOLUX, inside its void-like terminal, he summoned RAZi, that is already closed to ChatGPT back in his world.
But it’s still about 70% closed to the real one because this one is still dependent. But it doesn’t mean that it’s not amazing.
With its current capabilities, it can already be considered as top notch, if you want to it can become a teacher with a high profession due to adding SORA.
However, SORA was still in development and cannot handle some heavy tasks for a moment.
If he made it independent sooner or later it will reach the same level just like in his past life, or even higher due to his godly programming skill.
With that his fingers moved rapidly across the keyboard as he commanded RAZi to begin a satellite brute-force relay.
This action is locking onto the orbital network hovering above the Philippines.
Specifically, the geostationary band at 108 degrees east longitude, the sector of space where most regional communication and surveillance satellites orbit.
With that a stream of commands began cascading down the screen. He wasn’t using open APIs or paid satellite feeds he was breaking directly into the orbital relay’s authentication layer.
Normally, such a feat is nearly impossible because every satellite uplink is protected by multiple encryption layers.
Such as AES-256 keychains, rotating tokens, and quantum-key verification systems.
A single failed attempt can lock you out immediately, it might even trigger a trace and even notifies the ground station.
To brute-force through it would take an entire data center months or even years. Yet he’s hands didn’t stop.
Totally confident about his Godly Programming skill allowed, it him to create what others couldn’t even imagine and that is an adaptive brute-force cascade.
Imagine it like a wall with a billion locks each changing every few seconds, mostly some hackers pick one lock at a time.
But what he built is a machine that tested them all at once, rewriting its own methods in real time as each door closed.
Within five minutes, which is faster than the everything he had done at this point the system blinked.
...
ACCESS UNVERIFIED – OVERRIDE?
...
"Override for me" he uttered to SORA which followed his instructions.
After the command, silence overtook the place and then a faint hum echoed through the laptop as the interface came alive.
I then rendered a live thermal feed from the orbit. There are no alerts and pings, completely remaining him undetected.
With that he rewrote his packet headers midstream, cycling his MAC addresses every millisecond.
His connection didn’t look like a user, it looked like background cosmic noise an invisible flicker between data gaps.
"Hmm, let’s see" he said in a low voice.
As RAZi began compiling the terrain, green grids merged into a 3D map of the mountain range.
Everything can be seen here such as rocks, every slope, every heat source appeared in glowing dots.
Then he found out that one anomaly stood out, in a specially hidden corner of the mountain covered by trees and tall rocks.
He found that there is actually a mansion, and a big one at that, seeing how suspicious it was since its the only one in that place.
Jeff’s golden eyes glowed faintly as he zoomed in, "Found you bastards. This time, no one will remain," he said coldly.
He then instructed SORA to decrypt the satellite’s geolocation data and transfer the coordinates directly to his phone.
It just took a second as the decrypted feed marked the location with precision and stored it under a single label.
...
Target: Enemies Hideout
...
Glancing toward the marked location, his eyes turned red. He walked calmly toward the window, ready to jump out and be on his way.
But just as he was about to go, the serious look on his face vanished.
"Ahhh~"
A sound that was absolutely not for children echoed from the room beside his. He froze, staring blankly at the wall.
"Is this girl not embarrassed? Does she not know how bad the sound isolation is in this place?" he said, completely speechless.
In truth, the room had very good sound isolation.
But because his hearing had long surpassed the limits of what could be considered normal, there was no such thing as soundproofing for him.
"This is the first time I’ve found someone the same as me," he muttered.
When he said this, he was unable to stop a memory from his past life from surfacing.
Back in his previous days, his hormones had always been strong. He could satisfy himself every single day without fail, and the sensation it gave him was pure relief.
But even with that kind of drive he had stayed clean or rather remained a virgin. He knew how to control himself and keep a balance.
After transmigrating however, he had completely stopped. And the reason was simple, it’s because he did not want to die in some ridiculous or embarrassing way.
Just remembering it made his face heat up in embarrassment. Dying from sickness would have been understandable, but dying because of that?
He still did not know how to feel about it and ever since meeting Jessica, he had assumed she was an innocent girl based on the way she presented herself.
But after hearing what he heard for the second time, that did not seem to be the case at all.
She was clearly the same as him back then, someone who was struggling with her own impulses.
As his blood pressure began to rise he quickly circulated his kinetic energy to calm himself down.
He forced his breathing to steady and tried to suppress the sudden warmth spreading through him.
But even with all his control and training, he was still human after all. Desire was internal and its not something he could simply erase.
Because of this, his body reacted on its own despite his best effort to restrain it.
His little brother hiding between his pants began to bulge clearly a bad indication. With the power to change he does not want to fapped anymore, instead of wasting his sperm on the bedsheet it’s better to spend it on the opposite sex so he needs to build a strong discipline.
"I should leave, this would be a huge problem if I stayed any longer," he said as he jumped through the window.
Hiding his presence he began to move, following the location displayed on his phone. He chose to run straight toward the place without using any vehicle.
If he followed the main roads the distance would be around thirty kilometers, but if he cut directly through the terrain. the journey would only be about twenty-three kilometers.
With his speed that distance was nothing, because he could cover it in ten minutes, or a little more because of the mountainous area.
The cold night wind brushed against him as he sprinted forward, his figure vanishing and reappearing like a streak of shadow as he moved through the dark.
