Chapter 2498  Infiltration

“Let’s not rush up; let’s check out this level first.”

“Okay.”

From what Fang Heng knew, the Overseers in the White Abyss Arena were divided into four types.

The first type was the red fang-masked Overseers, responsible for security on each level, acting as team leaders. Each floor had 2-3 of them, rotating shifts. The second type was the blue fang-masked Overseers, who handled various specific tasks within the arena. Both types had comparable abilities.

The third type was the purple fang-masked Overseers, the highest tier, with only three in total, responsible for overseeing all operations in the White Abyss Arena.

The remaining ones were ordinary yellow fang-masked Overseers, tasked with guarding various areas of the arena.

The Overseer controlled by Qiu Xiaoling was the lowest-tier yellow fang-masked one.

Fang Heng followed Qiu Xiaoling into a room to investigate.

It appeared that levels 111-119 were the living quarters for the Overseers.

Qiu Xiaoling conducted a quick search and found mostly personal items.

“Let’s go, we’ll check the upper levels.”

In his Death God form, Fang Heng followed the Overseer, now occupied by Qiu Xiaoling, back to the elevator.

With the higher tier identity card of the Overseer, they were able to access Floor 120 directly.

“Ding!”

The elevator doors opened again.

Floor 120 was one of the core monitoring areas of the White Abyss Arena.

When Fang Heng and Qiu Xiaoling arrived, the atmosphere in the monitoring hall was unusually tense.

A group of Overseers had gathered there.

The alarm for the sealing in the underground area had been triggered for over five minutes. Unfortunately, the black fog’s aura interfered with communication, so everyone could only catch intermittent glimpses of the sealed area on the monitors.

They knew there was a problem down there, but the specifics were unclear.

Two consecutive teams had already been sent to the underground area for reinforcement.

All eyes were focused on the basement, and no one noticed Qiu Xiaoling and the hidden Fang Heng emerging from the stairs.

Fang Heng quickly surveyed the monitoring hall.

Aside from the staff, there were only seven true red and blue fang-masked Overseers present; the rest were yellow fang-masked Overseers.

Fang Heng turned and exchanged a glance with Qiu Xiaoling.

Currently, it seemed that the Overseer’s defensive capabilities on Floor  120 weren’t very strong.

It was worth considering an attack.

However, it would create quite a commotion.

After a moment’s thought, Qiu Xiaoling directed the shell to the built-in elevator of Floor 120, slipping past the group of Overseers until they entered the elevator.

Creak…

The elevator doors closed.

Qiu Xiaoling activated the elevator with her internal work card and pressed the button for Floor 150.

Surprisingly, the infiltration had gone so smoothly.

She whispered, “Once we reach Floor 150, I’ll try to hack into the mainframe. It’ll take some time, so I’ll need your help.”

“Got it.”

The elevator ascended slowly.

“Ding!”

They arrived at Floor 150.

The elevator doors slid open to reveal the data center of the White Abyss Arena.

Fang Heng was somewhat taken aback, the security here was surprisingly lax.

The setup was completely different from what he had imagined. He had expected the central data room to be filled with layers of massive machinery, but there were only a few scattered machines.

In the center of the room, a pale yellow crystal levitated in the air.

Two yellow fang-masked Overseers were stationed nearby, and they immediately turned their questioning gazes toward Qiu Xiaoling.

“Who are you? This is the data domain of the White Abyss Arena. What are you doing here?”

Trouble was brewing!

Qiu Xiaoling’s heart sank as she assessed the layout of the data center. She whispered urgently, “Fang Heng, that’s a spirit stone. The White Abyss Arena stores its data using these stones, which means we can’t use electronic hacking methods.”

The two yellow fang-masked guards sensed something was off and approached Qiu Xiaoling, questioning, “Hey, we’re asking you a question. What’s going on?”

“Stall them; I’ll find a chance to take them out,” Fang Heng said, shifting into his Death God form and advancing toward the guards.

Blood blood!

Mental shock!

In an instant, he flashed forward!

With his death scythe poised, he struck.

“Whoosh!”

The scythe cut through the air, leaving a dark trail behind.

The ordinary Overseers were weaker than the SS-level ones, mostly chosen followers of ‘Jealousy’. Combined with Fang Heng’s surprise attack, they didn’t stand a chance.

He unleashed a fluid combination of three stealth skills, catching the guards off guard. They felt their bodies reacting strangely, blood surging in a sudden rush, and just as they began to grasp what was happening, their minds were hit hard by the mental shock.

As they regained consciousness, a dark flash swept across their necks.

With a silent thud, they fell forward, their bodies limp.

Qiu Xiaoling was quick to act, rushing over to catch them, easing their descent onto nearby chairs to make it look like they were simply resting.

After ensuring they were concealed, she glanced nervously at the cameras in the hall.

She hoped that they hadn’t been discovered.

In his Death God state, Fang Heng approached the central, levitating pale yellow crystal, his gaze sweeping over it.

He remembered encountering a similar crystal in the Federation of the World of Forests.

These crystals were used by the dependents to transmit and store information.

Hints began to appear on Fang Heng’s retinas.

[Hint: The player discovered item-Interactive information core Type VIII.]

“How’s it going?” Qiu Xiaoling asked as she finished dealing with the two Overseers and approached Fang Heng. “Any findings?”

Fang Heng shrugged, “Not really.”

“Then I’ll go check the main control machinery over there. Maybe I can find a breach to extract the information. You should head back down to find Bai Mu, he has some knowledge of psychic communication methods. He might be able to come up with a solution…”

Just as Qiu Xiaoling was speaking, she suddenly saw Fang Heng raise his hand and press it against the spirit crystal.

“Hey, you…”

She was taken aback by his boldness and tried to stop him, but it was too late.

His palm made contact with the pale yellow crystal.

In an instant, using his psychic abilities, Fang Heng’s consciousness invaded the inner structure of the crystal.

Like a movie screen coming to life, a torrent of data streamed within the crystal.

He could see layers upon layers of information neatly arranged before him.

It didn’t seem difficult at all.

Fang Heng immediately began searching for data on all the past competitors in the arena.

Found it!

The speed at which he accessed the information was thousands of times faster than a normal computer search.

In a mere sweep, all the information he needed appeared before his eyes.
