NABC Chapter 459 459: Unknown Port
Chapter 459 459: Unknown Port
The Unknown Port, in layman's terms, is Yang Wanhua's "Box."
Cracking the coordinates of the Unknown Port means directly "opening Yang Wanhua's Box"—doxxing her—thereby learning exactly where her residence is located in reality.
As long as they obtained the coordinates, the group would lack only a method to travel to reality to be able to follow the vine to the melon, going straight to Yang Wanhua's home...
To dig up the roots and completely cut off all future dangers to the Game World.
This task was something 2D Mita had been doing all along. Alain also placed his hopes on the results of her long-term work.
"The cracking situation of the Unknown Port should be up to standard now, right?"
His calm and unhurried smile made the Mita maidens look at him with shock—
To think they had forgotten about the Unknown Port!
However, 2D Mita's reply shocked them even more:
"Sorry, the cracking isn't finished yet."
"..."
The silent voice drifted away leisurely, like a gust of wind, blowing away the skin on Alain's face.
The Mita maidens looked at Alain with some awkwardness.
Misha, Miluo, Cool Mita, and the others expressed that they couldn't help, while Mila, Millie, and Cute Mita just wanted to watch Alain make a fool of himself.
Amidst the crowd of gazes, even someone like Alain couldn't hold onto his dignity. While his old face flushed red, he saw Monika's expression looking particularly amused.
"Hehe, I was wondering what you wanted to do by suddenly putting on such a handsome smile. Turns out it was... It hurts like hell!!!"
She hadn't finished speaking before the flustered and exasperated Alain ruthlessly twisted the tender flesh of her thigh.
In the crisscrossing force of his thumb and index finger, the coral-brown haired girl's black silk stockings tore, and the soft flesh of her thigh oozed out.
"What are you doing?! Is this how you treat an ally? I'm telling you, Alain! I really liked these stockings, I—"
"..."
Facing Monika's incessant chatter, Alain did not reply. Instead, he looked at 2D Mita as if changing the subject.
"How much is left before the cracking is complete?"
If the time dragged on too long, long enough for Alain and the others to finish defeating the Core's Yang Wanhua... and the Unknown Port was still not cracked, then every extra second of waiting would be fraught with grim possibilities.
2D Mita glanced at the panel and signaled a number. "10."
"10 hours?" Alain felt that such a small amount of time was acceptable.
"9, 8, 7..."
"???"
Amidst Alain's confusion, the countdown reached 0.
"Clang clang! Unknown Port, cracking complete!!!"
"Alright!" The maidens, reading the atmosphere, cheered in unison.
Only Alain secretly pulled 2D Mita aside and whispered,
"If there were only 10 seconds left, you should have said so earlier! Your Player's toes have curled tight enough to dig through his slippers from embarrassment!"
"Aiyaya, not really..." 2D Mita scratched her head, also a bit embarrassed. "As soon as I came out, I saw that pretentious smile of yours, and I just wanted to bully you a little... Heh ★~"
"You..." Alain swallowed his grievance. "So, what are the coordinates of the Unknown Port?"
"Wait a moment, let me see."
2D Mita looked at the system panel and entered a string of code...
Then, she reported an address.
"Yalin Villas No. 18... That is the address of the Unknown Port." 2D Mita looked at Alain. "It's in the same city as you, and it's even in the same district as the Mansion."
"Mm." Alain nodded.
Alain had once visited Residence No. 6 in the district of these "Yalin Villas" to investigate, and he had obtained a lot of information.
He hadn't expected Yang Wanhua's information coordinates to be so close... Was this a case of "it's always darkest under the lamp"?
However, it seemed very close, but in reality, it was as distant as the universe.
These Yalin Villas were not the Yalin Villas of Virtual Reality, but the Yalin Villas of True Reality.
To put it mildly, they were separated by a network cable; to put it broadly, they were separated by a dimensional wall...
"How about it? Is this coordinate correct?" Alain asked Monika.
"Mm, Yang Wanhua does have a house, and it is here. But you guys have another problem—"
Monika said, "What if she moved?"
"Please don't worry about that point." 2D Mita spoke up. "As long as Yang Wanhua wants to log in to the Game World and receives the Security Guard's log information, the coordinates of the Unknown Port will move along with her relocation."
"But we still have a problem we cannot ignore." Misha leaned against the wall, raising her slender wrist.
"Even if we can obtain the coordinates, and the coordinates can move in real-time based on Yang Wanhua's position. But..."
She stroked the wall. It was cold, yet separated this room from that room.
"How exactly should we travel to reality?"
When this topic was touched upon, everyone's voices instantly went still.
Neither the Mitas nor Alain were idiots. They all knew that the distance between the Electronic World and the Real World was farther than the universe itself.
Even if they knew the coordinates of the Unknown Port, even if they followed the vine to the melon, all they could do in the end was trash-talk her on Yang Wanhua's computer screen...
Aside from that, they could do nothing.
"Excuse me." Monika crossed one arm over her chest and raised the other hand. "Can you explain this 'Unknown Port' you're talking about to me?"
"I'll do it," Alain said, and began to explain.
Monika must have been eliminated by Yang Wanhua before she saw the reminder he sent.
He felt a wave of relief; fortunately, he had successfully saved her.
"I understand." Just as Alain finished speaking, Monika pondered for two seconds before speaking slowly.
"The Unknown Port... I roughly know what it is used for."
Monika looked at Alain. "That is Yang Wanhua's final measure. If all her plans fail, she will directly [Recall] Alain's consciousness."
"What?!" Millie was the first to express objection. "Wait a minute, that's too excessive, isn't it? Then wouldn't we be unable to do anything to her?"
Alain raised his hand and waved it, signaling Millie to calm down.
He said, "Don't forget, the current Security Assistant is our property. And if the Unknown Port wants to suck away my consciousness..."
"It's impossible!!!" 2D Mita stuck out her chest proudly.
The Mitas breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"Wait a minute..." Alain's words caused everyone's thoughts to sink again. "If... I myself am caught in reality, then 2D Mita, can you still get me back?"
"I can," 2D Mita said. "No matter where you are in reality, as long as there is a network and data present, I can grab you back."
"Then—can we enter another dimension just like Yang Wanhua: let me go to reality, and thereby find a way to completely defeat her?"
Alain's idea, which seemed like a fantasy, unexpectedly received Monika's approval.
"I think it's possible."
"Eh? Isn't that very dangerous?" Misha rarely showed hesitation.
Monika, however, smiled faintly.
"Because Yang Wanhua is a genius, a genius of the era, a genius of the Information Age, and also a genius of AI. All of these can be categorized as a [Computer Genius].
"And her home...
"Is entirely made of Smart Home devices."
