The morning light was slightly bright, and a white fish belly gradually penetrated the dawn, ushering in the dawn of a new day.
At this time, in the inner ring area of Shangdu, where every inch of land was at a premium, faint snores could be heard constantly coming from a 300-square-meter mansion.
The decoration of the room should belong to the European classical layout, but at this time, the messy clothes and pants in the room, the beer bottles scattered everywhere, as well as the overturned trash can and ashtray, all together tell the slovenliness of the owner of the house.
On the luxurious Dream Paris bed, a mature man of about thirty years old was sound asleep.
The man's face still retains the heroic spirit of his youth, but due to the mid-life crisis of getting fatter, this heroic spirit is about to disappear.
In today's Internet terms, we should say "greasy".
The man’s name is Zhan Fei. He made his fortune through YY seven or eight years ago. Four years ago, he established his own labor union and signed hundreds of platform anchors. Now he mainly relies on the live broadcasting industry to make his fortune.
However, this is only his apparent identity.
Secretly, Zhan Fei was still a hacker. In his early years, he dropped out of school early because he heard that the computer industry had a future, so he went to learn computer programming. Later, he became obsessed with the unfettered freedom on the Internet.
Back then, relying on his youthful foundation, Zhan Fei started to get in touch with the dark web, and plunged into the most evil forbidden place on the Internet that even the law could not restrain.
Gradually, Zhan Fei developed skills in intrusion, cracking, compilation, decompilation, etc. In 2016, he even wrote a highly lethal worm himself and earned hundreds of thousands of dollars.
To this day, he is still lurking in the shadows of the Internet. He is like a killer. No one in the world knows his true identity.
However, this has been completely broken today.
"Didi didi..."
Zhan Fei, who had just fallen asleep, was suddenly awakened by a strange alarm sound.
It was a clear sound similar to a music box. The whole song only had a clear melody, but without any accompaniment or harmony. The whole style of the song seemed indifferent and pure.
However, for people who are woken up while falling asleep, no matter how beautiful the melody is, it is a kind of noise.
"Damn..."
Zhan Fei muttered something in a low voice, grabbed the phone beside the bed, and then froze.
As soon as he opened the phone, the ringtone disappeared.
On the phone, it was prompted that an anonymous email had been received in his mailbox.
Although Zhan Fei is approaching middle age, he is still very alert after wandering in dark areas all year round. When he saw this scene, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
Because I have never set an alarm for 7 o'clock in the morning, nor have I set a ringtone like this that I have never heard before.
What's more, this email is the email he uses for his darknet identity. There are no more than ten people in the world who know this email account.
"The phone is poisoned?"
Zhan Fei frowned. With the vigilance of a hacker, he did not open the email. Instead, he got up and walked to the computer with his cell phone.
Finding a USB cable, Zhan Fei connected the computer and mobile phone, and then downloaded the compressed package on his impregnable computer.
At the same time, open the Android emulator and prepare to open this unknown email on your computer.
After unzipping it, he discovered that there were three software installation packages inside.
"Little X translation assistant? What the hell is this?"
Zhan Fei was a little stunned. He looked at the following introduction, "Software that can translate foreign language web pages? But what does it have to do with me?"
However, thinking that it was something sent from the dark web after all, Zhan Fei made all preparations and installed the installation package on the Android emulator.
The overall icon of this program is a cartoon, basically a big X with two eyes on it, just like a cartoon.
Zhan Fei double-clicked the icon. Suddenly, the entire simulator screen was covered by a transparent film, and at the same time, a line of windows popped up in the software.
"Chinese system detected, will all foreign languages be automatically translated into Chinese?"
Zhan Fei thought for a while and clicked "OK".
Then, there is no more.
It seems that the software has automatically run in the background, but other than that, nothing has changed.
"That's it?"
Zhan Fei was stunned. He looked at the lower right corner with some disbelief. There was no word popping up saying that an unknown virus was detected. The installation package seemed to be clean and without any problems.
But Zhan Fei soon came back to his senses. He thought for a while and tried to open a foreign language webpage. But as soon as he opened it, he found that those so-called foreign language webpages were also in Chinese
"I haven't seen you for a while. Is this website also developing a Chinese system?"
Zhan Fei was a little puzzled, but he still withdrew and turned to another well-known foreign language website.
However, what surprised Zhan Fei was that the square Chinese characters were still on the webpage of that website.
"this… "
At this point, Zhan Fei finally realized something was wrong.
"It's impossible. How can a piece of software change a web page?"
After thinking about it, Zhan Fei quickly shook his head, "No, it didn't change the web page, but changed the web page I opened?"
Thinking of this, Zhan Fei called up the system settings on the simulator, forcibly stopped the program process of "Little X Translation Assistant", and then he clicked on the foreign language website again.
Sure enough, English is still English, and this website does not have a Chinese web page for users in Zhongzhou District.
"That's really it!"
At this moment, Zhan Fei finally understood, but then he frowned again, then immediately opened the search tool and searched for the words "Xiao X Translation Assistant".
There is nothing on the web.
“So, this is an app that hasn’t been officially launched yet?”
At this point, Zhan Fei finally understood something.
He couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart. Even though he didn't know much about the translation market, he knew that even Baidu Translation had never been able to translate English into Chinese so perfectly.
This technology is definitely far superior to all translation software on the market.
"But why send it to me?"
"Ding ding ding..."
But before he finished speaking, Zhan Fei's cell phone suddenly rang again.
This time is different from before, this is an unknown call.
Yes, there was no number on the incoming call, only the words "Unknown Caller" were displayed.
Zhan Fei was silent for a moment. This situation occurred because the nearby base station had been hacked by the other party.
Obviously, the originator of this email started to contact himself.
Thinking of this, although Zhan Fei was a little flustered, he was immediately stopped by his own will. As a hacker, the most important thing is to stay calm.
If he can't stay calm, he can't be a hacker.
Furthermore, is the other party spending so much effort just to show off and send himself to jail
The chance of this kind of thing is very small. The other party has probably caught his advantage and wants to use it to blackmail him.
Although now he is exposing the other party, no matter how secretive he is, once the two establish contact, he may not have the chance to fight back.
Thinking of this, Zhan Fei was convinced. He picked up his hand and gently connected the phone.
The moment the call was connected, a childish voice suddenly sounded from the phone.
"Friend, have you ever heard of Xiao X?"
