Chapter 1022 Discovering the Issue.
"Hey, you okay?" Reina asked with a concerned look on her face.
Reina couldn't see the electric signals, but when she saw Rudy's body jerking in a weird manner, she couldn't help but wonder if Rudy's had gotten an electric shock.
When Reina placed her hand on Rudy's shoulder, Rudy turned around and gasped for air. Seeing Rudy stumbling on his feet, Reina thought Rudy was having a seizure.
"Do you have a sister named Rina?" Rudy suddenly asked Reina.
Surprised, Reina raised her brow with a confused look on her face and asked, "How do you know that? Did I mention her in our conversation?"
"No, you didn't."
"Then… how do you know about her?" She asked curiously.
Ignoring Reina's question, Rudy turned around and closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes again, he could see each and every electrical signal around him. It was as though he had turned on a vision that allowed him to see them.
Not only that, but he could also interact with them and know and absorb the data from the signals.
'So this is one of my powers. I discovered it by accident, but… this can't be a coincidence. One by one, I am discovering the powers I possess. I still don't know how I got it from, but where are these powers coming from?
If I treat them as a form of energy; going by the law of conversion, energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it transforms from one form to another. It's like an equivalent exchange. If so, what am I exchanging in order to get these powers?'
Rudy was left puzzled as he pondered the possibilities.
'Could it by my life force? If that's the case, then the more I use my powers, the closer I am to death? But the awakened also have unimaginable powers and they haven't encountered any side effects till now. My case could be similar.
At first, I thought, perhaps I entered the tower and got the system, but that's not the case. I don't have a system. I tried all the ways to see the system menu I found on the internet but I couldn't.
Well, whatever, I am simply making assumptions and don't know the actual cause. Although, I do have to find out.'
"It may be connected to the private network, but the service you are using seems to be compromised and someone found a way to gain access to your servers. They messed with the data or most likely installed a virus which caused your system to malfunction."
"..." Reina carefully listened to Rudy's explanation and, after giving it a thought, she nodded and said, "That makes sense, but this should be impossible. The hackers must be very talented to be able to achieve this."
Even after finding the issue, Rudy didn't seem pleased. He rubbed his thumb on his chin and muttered, "That's what makes this weird."
"Hmm?"
"As we know, the hacker is talented, so why would they try to hack the water park system? What would they gain? Yes, an accident can happen and people could lose their lives. But what would they gain from that?" Rudy wondered with a curious look on his face.
"It may be a trivial matter for you, but for me, it's not. Even if one person loses their life, I would be disheartened," Reina muttered in a solemn voice.
"Obviously, but what would the mastermind behind this get?"
"There would be a legal case against the water park and it would be sealed close."
"Again, what would the hacker get? Even if you were jailed, the hacker wouldn't gain a shit unless they have a personal grudge against you and want to destroy you and your career altogether."
"Hmm…" Reina gave it a quick thought, and nodded. "You are right."
"Or… hear me out," Rudy stretched his hands in the air and yawned. "It could be a competitor who wants to open a water park just like yours. And unless this one closes, they can't make profit from theirs."
Reina yawned, following Rudy, and covered her mouth with her hand.
"I don't know," She sighed. "I will have my team work on it. Thanks for the help."
Rudy grinned and asked, "Are you not going to wait for your technical team to look into the issue and confirm what I am telling is the truth?"
"Not an issue. I lied to you. I can't get in contact with my technical team, which is why I allowed you to investigate the matter." Reina shrugged her shoulders and continued, "But don't you worry, you will have your reward for finding out the issue."
"Well… not so fast. I got access to the reserved pool by finding the issue, but I want 'unlimited access', and for that, Miss Reina, I will solve the issue as well."
