Chapter 2177 Inspection

Heli stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, Dr. Fang, but I haven't received any reports from the Federation regarding your employment. For the sake of work safety regulations, I need to verify your ident.i.ty."

"My security clearance is the highest level. You have no authority to access it. For details, you can consult your superiors."

Fang Heng repeated what Ji Haiting had instructed through the earpiece. After a moment's thought, he added, "The spiritual domain network needs to be upgraded, and I will be responsible for some preliminary testing. By the way, where is the central control of the spiritual domain blockade? I need to go and see."

"You want to check the central control?"

Heli frowned even more and shook her head, saying, "I'm sorry, I haven't received any reports. Accessing the central control requires the highest level of authorization from the Federation. I haven't received any reports yet, so I cannot take you there..."

In a control room in the research inst.i.tute, Ji Haiting watched the remote transmission of the scene with a furrowed brow.

Accessing the central control of the spiritual domain blockade required the highest level of authorization from the Federation?

This was troublesome.

He had never been inside the main control room of the spiritual domain network, and he had learned about everything inside through various means.

As for obtaining the highest level authorization report from the Federation, it was definitely impossible.

If he had more time, he could try to fake one. However, the situation was urgent now. Suddenly asking for such a report? Where could he possibly find it?

With a furrowed brow, Ji Haiting contacted Fang Heng via walkie-talkie, "Fang Heng, try to bluff your way through. Just say you didn't know and that the report is on its way but might have been delayed due to some technical issue. Ask her to wait a bit and go in to take a look first..."

As Ji Haiting was quickly contemplating how to resolve the issue, he suddenly heard a response from Fang Heng.

"Yeah, the Federation's approval report, right? I know. Here's my application report, the approval report, and a series of other reports. Take a look and see if anything's missing."

Fang Heng spoke as if he had been prepared, handing over a report he held in his hand. At the same time, he discreetly crushed a compound eye of h.e.l.l Faram.

The research supervisor, Heli, seemed momentarily dazed as she took the report from Fang Heng's hand.

As Heli flipped through the report, her suspicions were not dispelled; instead, they grew stronger.

Dr. Fang?

He seemed like an outsider, yet somehow managed to pa.s.s the highest level of Federation approval? The concealed access approval form was there as well.

Heli examined several details and signatures on the approval form.

It could be confirmed that the approval form was not forged.

After two minutes, Fang Heng grew impatient and asked, "Any more questions?"

"No, that's all."

Heli folded the doc.u.ments and handed them back to Fang Heng.

"Can we start now?"

"So soon?"

"Yes, the sooner, the better."

"Alright, follow me."

In the remote monitoring room, Ji Haiting paused for a moment upon hearing Fang Heng and Heli's conversation.

What did that mean?

He just bluffed his way through?

How did he do it?

Then, Ji Haiting thought of something and smiled.

Following this, Ji Haiting had a thought, and a smile crept up on his lips.

Indeed, Fang Heng's abilities were remarkable.

Back then, Ji Haiting had no idea how Fang Heng managed to infiltrate OmniTech Company multiple times, leaving him feeling powerless to stop him.

Now, it seemed that the Federation was about to experience a similar sense of helplessness.

Soon enough, Fang Heng and Heli pa.s.sed through the verification process together, traversing a corridor lined with metal pa.s.sages until they reached a research hall at the end.

As they stepped into the hall, Fang Heng felt something stir within him.

The sp.a.w.ns!

In the hall, more than a dozen sp.a.w.ns cl.u.s.tered on the right side, with a faint blue crystal pillar emanating gentle ripples of light from its central point. Energy flowed through the sp.a.w.ns and converged on the prism-like structures on the ceiling.

This was...

Fang Heng's eyes widened in astonishment.

"As you can see, this is the central control area of the Federation's constructed spiritual domain network."

Heli explained as she noticed Fang Heng's gaze lingering on the twelve sp.a.w.ns, "All our final communications with the external spiritual domain network are transmitted through the mental signals of these sp.a.w.ns, ensuring the security and reliability of the information."

"These sp.a.w.ns are in a state of mental transmission and have almost no perception of external life forms."

"Got it."

Fang Heng murmured, then s.h.i.+fted his gaze to the right.

Two sp.a.w.ns stood on either side of the large control machine in the hall, appearing as guardians.

Heli pointed towards the large mechanical device on the right side of the hall and said, "Here, this is the central instrument for sending and receiving data. Everything we do is controlled through this central instrument."

"The central device has been running steadily, undergoing checks every six months, and has never encountered any accidents so far."

At that moment, Ji Haiting's voice came through Fang Heng's earpiece.

"Fang Heng, that's it! That's the central device controlling the spiritual domain network. Just find a way to attach the magnet I gave you to it, and then leave the rest to me. I'll temporarily interrupt the connection of the spiritual domain network, causing the network to stall for a while, and during this time, I'll delete all your data from the database."

Ji Haiting's voice sounded urgent, continuing, "Fang Heng, the problem now is those sp.a.w.ns. A stall in the spiritual domain network will likely alert them, and you might be in danger when that happens. Be prepared in advance."

Initially, Ji Haiting had no idea there were so many sp.a.w.ns in the control hall.

As Fang Heng listened to Ji Haiting's words, he pondered for a moment.

Facing fourteen sp.a.w.ns alone?

Could he defeat them?

Perhaps.

He could give it a try.

In the worst-case scenario, he really couldn't escape. At most, he would fight with the sp.a.w.ns.

The problem was that if he made too much of a commotion...

As he contemplated, Fang Heng suddenly heard Raven's voice again.

"Fang Heng, I've heard your conversation. Get ready to take action. I'll a.s.sist you when needed."

Was that so?

Fang Heng glanced at the vine attached to his armpit and walked toward the central device of the spiritual domain blockade network. He whispered, "Director Ji, I'm about to take action. If anything goes wrong, please stall the people outside for me."

"Understood, Fang Heng. There's no need to engage in direct conflict with the sp.a.w.ns. Try to run if you can."

In a monitoring room nearby, Ji Haiting immediately turned to his subordinates and shouted, "Quick, prepare to sever the connection between the central hall and the outside world, and be ready to invade the system into safety mode!"

Under Heli's gaze, Fang Heng approached the central device.

Gently extending his hand, he flicked his fingers.
