Chapter 1042: Chapter 46: Fully Automated Insult Kit

Jeanne’s sudden action terrified everyone. Several people slapped their hands on their sound signal receivers simultaneously, quickly shutting down their hearing.

Though if you have enough wheels built, you shouldn’t have to fear the traps King Aqini buried in common tools, King Aqini is one of the oldest internal strength practitioners, and the oldest hacker still around. Nobody knows how many traps he’s buried in the internet, so people generally don’t dare to bet.

And Jeanne has Tumor Xiang Shan as her backup. Tumor Xiang Shan does these things when he’s free. The prosthetic body system Jeanne’s using now was slowly built over several years by Tumor Xiang Shan, and those downloaded plugins and tools were thrown into virtual machines for various tests, so they’re not easily feared.

Although Asgard also shares Jeanne’s resources, she clearly isn’t accustomed to this kind of style. She asked tremblingly, “Sister, what’s wrong with you…what is this?”

“A testing method,” Jeanne said calmly. “It’s quite effective.”

How to select a suitable location to establish a safehouse?

Heroes from the secret heroic war era commonly used this method. A group of heroes would pose as ordinary tourists, visit supposedly “confidential” hotels in advance, rent a room, then throw a small speaker or projector in there, playing prohibited information heavily controlled by usurpers — usually promotional information of heroic forces.

If the room is not immediately raided, then this creepy place is generally not under official surveillance.

If the related hotel business is not subjected to government agency audit the same day, it implies no third-party eavesdropping exists.

In short, this is quite a practical tactic.

The name “Jakub Hartman” is not widely known in this era. People have to stay in a disconnected space to know this name, and also guard against any dormant backdoors in their bodies — these backdoors, once activated by keywords, have a high probability of attracting malicious crawler attention, thus bringing the host into King Aqini’s sights.

This “name” possesses power.

However, this destructive power is meaningless to official personnel, and thus, very few people use this name’s destructive side.

But here, this level happens to be just right.

If there is a force claiming neutrality monitoring here, they surely would be in a panic.

If a Hero listens here to collect information, amidst the chaos, they might think of making contact — which for Jeanne now, is a good thing as “more friends, more paths.”

And if official personnel are monitoring, it would probably blast them out, saving the trouble of “I am in the light, the enemy in the dark.”

In short, a win-win.

Jeanne was not satisfied. She directly took out a small speaker, placed it on the ground, and then took out something similar to a pneumatic hammer. This thing could rhythmically hit the ground or walls, and in clear text, tap out various insults towards Hartman. Some of the quips are directly from ancient times, according to Xiang Shan, those hell jokes have particular destructive power against the esteemed King Aqini.

Jeanne looked around and nodded. This room is fully sealed, and outside should be a metal shell. In this era, “eavesdropping” does not necessarily require a bug placed inside the room. If the attraction effect or soundproofing effect of the room walls is slightly inferior, then using a laser vibration detector to detect the vibration of the outside walls could equally have a chance of eavesdropping on the conversations inside.

Such methods are indefensible. For example, some rooms appear to be enclosed with metal shells, blocking electromagnetic communication from inside and outside. But actually, an unnoticed corner of its shell is a high polymer material that can be penetrated by electromagnetic waves. Thus, it can potentially intercept the electromagnetic signals used by people inside for communication, etc.

Although “using parallel infrared light to transmit signals for communication” or “using signal lines for direct connection communication” can effectively prevent various eavesdropping behaviors, these communication forms restrict their mobility and violate human instincts.

What if just following their instincts when speaking, they inadvertently leaked some information?

In short, it must be done flawlessly.

After throwing down the automatic little gadgets that curse Hartman in various forms, Jeanne looked at Asgard and said, “Shall we drop the luggage here and then go around to scout a bit?”

Asgard looked at these fully automatic cursing gadgets, feeling terrified. Though this scene feels satisfying, in this era, anyone would feel the atmosphere is eerie and terrifying, as if it might draw the gaze of a sinister god at any moment. She nodded: “Chaldea I used to come often to… in short, just scout a bit… just… Jin, let’s go.”

Asgard saw Jin didn’t respond, turned her head to take a glance. Jin, seeing Asgard look at him, immediately shouted loudly, “I didn’t see anything, didn’t hear anything.”

Asgard then used infrared signals to say: [Just like this Jin, let’s first leave and take a stroll around. If there aren’t those who can’t help but rush in, it means this safehouse indeed lives up to its reputation… Mm, let’s do it this way.]

Jin, relieved, waved his hand and used tactical moves to signal others to leave. As a consequence, a martial master from the Hermo Association closed his sight to avoid his Soth Divine Realm directly interpreting the clear Morse code being tapped by the pneumatic hammer.

Fuming, Jin immediately pulled him out, shouting loudly, “How can you be so spineless? Even give up sight? What if enemies come…”

“I’m running the ultrasound radar, boss…” The martial master muttered timidly, “And you decisively cut off your hearing, didn’t you?”

“At least I have the ability to respond to emergencies.” Jin shook his head and then looked at Jeanne, “This tactic…”

“A method from the heroic war era.” Jeanne said, “Ancient method for quick testing, worthy for you to possess.”

While Jeanne recounted Xiang Shan’s proud introduction, she felt an urge to laugh inside. She didn’t know what’s so funny about this thing. But…

It’s said King Aqini’s flesh body was utterly destroyed by Martial Ancestor Xiang Shan. The animosity between these two lasted over two centuries.

Xiang Shan might be right saying this.

Jin carefully thought for a while then shook his head: “What if there’s someone in the team whose internal strength isn’t sufficient, thus causing harm to oneself. It also requires strong psychological qualities; average people can’t handle it.”

Jin glanced around then whispered, “Haven’t you noticed? Several people here aren’t reconnecting to the network; they’ll probably have to reinstall their systems when back. Such astonishing methods should be used less…”
