I Have A Super USB Drive

Chapter 412: Death

Chapter 412: Death


“Murphy” tilted his head and silently looked at the quantum computer in front of him.


One had to admit, if one had not known what it was, no one in the world would guess that it was a quantum computer.


This was because it had no computer features, no screen, keyboard, processor or even peripherals such as a mouse. Instead, it looked like an abstract sculpture built by an artist, composed of large and small translucent, gla.s.sy gears, along with tiny, irregular components.


In addition, there were many ta.s.sels of an unknown material hanging down, creating a peculiar sense of beauty.


This style was indeed a bit familiar, what was it...


With the arrival of “Murphy”, the quantum computer in front suddenly shuddered slightly, making clinking sounds like gla.s.s. These clinking sounds were reorganized to form speech that sounded as if it was born of the collision of jade artifacts —


“Who, are, you?”


The quantum computer spoke!


At the same moment, everyone in the outer laboratory noticed that the curve of the quantum computer was rising rapidly on the monitoring instruments. If they regarded these data as a computer graph of a person, then this person must have already fallen into an extreme mood swing!


“The curves of the fourth index and the seventh index rose by 600% and the curve of the eighth index rose by 1,000%. This is a curve disturbance. Something’s wrong with Adam!”


“Oh G.o.d, what happened, is it getting excited?”


“No, it isn’t so much excitement as it’s anger!”


In that instant, the entire laboratory’s monitoring team suddenly erupted into a flurry of activity. At the same time, the laboratory was pierced through with harsh sirens. The loud noise made everyone cover their ears at once!


This noise also resounded in the ears of “Murphy”, but he just stared at the quantum computer in front of him as if he had nothing to do with anything in the world.


“Who are you?”


The quantum computer was still asking. Adam, who used to be able to predict everything, now had no idea when faced with this Murphy.


“Murphy, what’s going on in there? Why is ‘Adam’ overclocking?”


Just then, a woman’s stern voice came over the broadcast. “Whatever you’re doing, stop it right now!”


At this time, the real Murphy was also watching all this, his heart burning with anxiety. However, even if the outside world had already descended into utter chaos because of him, this “Murphy” still did not show any expression.


Not only that, but a strange smile twitched at the corner of his mouth, then he slowly raised his right hand and touched his right eye...


‘Wait, stop, what are you doing?’


Murphy was suddenly gripped by an ominous premonition...


The next second, he only heard a splattering sound echoing in his ears. The index and middle fingers of “Murphy” were inserted directly into the gap between the eye socket and the eyeball!


‘Agh agh agh agh! What are you doing, this is my body! Stop it, stop it right now!


‘Don’t gouge out my eye, stop it!!!’


With a sharp “snap”, an eyeball dropped down across Murphy’s cheek and rolled a few times on the smooth floor.


Deep in his heart, the real Murphy was still snarling and howling. The weird thing was, he did not feel any pain as if this body had nothing to do with him now.


Still, if one was looking at the surveillance monitor, one would see that Murphy’s right eye had been completely plucked out. The broken optic nerve dangled on his cheek as blood gurgled out, giving this Murphy a peculiar, monstrous aura.


“Where is the anesthetic gas? Stop him!”


Seeing this, a panicked shriek finally rang out on the broadcast. Then, in the laboratory Murphy was in, dozens of small holes began to hiss and emit a large amount of white smoke. A pungent smell hit his nostrils and in the blink of an eye, the smoke had suffused through the entire laboratory...


Still, after all, the anesthetic gas would need half a minute to take effect. Before it took effect, they could only watch as “Murphy” dug into the depths of his eye socket with his index finger and thumb once again!


Then Murphy’s hand pulled away and a translucent USB flash drive stained with blood and brain was extracted!


That USB flash drive was hidden behind Murphy’s eye!


“It’s a quantum USB flash drive! Is Murphy crazy? What on Earth is he trying to do!”


Everyone was losing it in front of the surveillance monitor. The middle-aged woman at their head yelled, “Where’s the security guard? Why haven’t the security guards gone in to stop him!”


“The quantum computer sealed the door on its own and no one can get in!”


Someone replied, “We’re trying to crack it!”


“D*mn it!”


In such circ.u.mstances, everyone could only watch Murphy tug out the USB flash drive from behind his eye and plug it directly into the only socket of the quantum computer...


“Spark!”


In the next second, the quantum computer suddenly broke out into a violent tremor and then froze completely, paralyzed in place...


“No!”


The middle-aged woman before the surveillance monitor unleashed a desperate scream. After that, she saw Murphy turned his head on the screen. With his single eye, he shot a glance at the surveillance camera above his head, then raised both his hands and gripped his own head...


“Crack crack crack... Snap!”


As if he was twisting in a screw, Murphy broke his own neck with a blank expression and then he collapsed completely...


Even when he died, there was still an eerie smile on his lips.


By the next second, the door to the inner laboratory was finally opened. The security guards who had been ready for a long time rushed in wearing gas masks. They brought out Murphy’s body in half a minute.


“Report: Murphy, suspected of sabotaging the quantum computer, has committed suicide to escape the punishment for his crime.”


One of the security guards said to the surveillance camera, “We didn’t find any other dangerous items on him.”


“What about the quantum computer?”


The middle-aged woman asked quickly, “Is the quantum computer damaged?”


“Madam Molly, the quantum computer just restarted...”


The scientist responsible for implementing the data suddenly replied, “According to the data a.n.a.lysis of the curves and perturbations, the quantum computer, besides being restarted by a special program... Appears to be unaffected.”


“Are you sure?”


Everyone looked glad.


“We’re very certain.”


A hint of relief appeared in the eyes of several scientists. “Murphy used a quantum USB flash drive to implant a quantum computer program. Except for causing the quantum computer to restart, it didn’t cause any damage to the quantum computer.”


The scientist nodded but to be safe, he added. “Of course, it’s not impossible that there are other hidden dangers, but so far, I haven’t found any differences from before...”


“Thank heavens...”


“That is great news!”


“I’ll say! How can a quantum computer be damaged so easily? Even if there are traitors among us, it’s difficult to do that...”


Everyone in the monitoring room sighed in relief when they heard this and some began to cross themselves.


“I hope that’s the case.”


However, the middle-aged woman’s expression remained stern. She said to the person in charge of security, “Now isn’t the time to rejoice. From now on, seal off the pa.s.sage to the inside completely. Before the higher-ups have inspected the quantum computer, no one is allowed to approach it again. I don’t want another Murphy on our hands, understand?”


“Yes, Madam!”


“As for why Murphy did this...”


The middle-aged woman raised her head with a somber look in her eyes. “Even though he’s dead, don’t forget that he still has a family. I believe that if the Federation investigates, the truth will soon come to light...”


“Re, report!”


However, before she finished speaking, one of the security guards suddenly ran in from outside the laboratory and said in agitation, “Just now, there was news from Chicago. All the core members of the Murphy family have died at the same time!”


“What did you say!”


At this moment, everyone’s expression changed drastically.
