Chapter 17 Auditory Storm
Inside the hotel study, the curtains were drawn tightly, and the air was filled with a tense and suffocating sense of oppression.
Lin Yu sat in a large leather chair, his right eye wrapped in blood-soaked gauze, his left eye open but bloodshot and blurry due to system overload. At this moment, his world had been forcibly stripped of color and light, leaving only a chaotic grayness.
But he did not fall.
"System, initiate the auditory dimension reconstruction of 'Emperor's Eye'."
[Sensory mode switching... Visual nerve signals are blocked, auditory nerve signals are amplified to 1200%.]
"Sizzle—"
With a low shout from Lin Yu, the laptop on the desk, which was connected to the military's intranet, suddenly emitted a high-frequency electrical sound.
To the average person, this is just monotonous data transmission noise, but in Lin Yu's enhanced auditory world, it is a vast and boundless "ocean of sound waves."
"Suya, turn up the volume for me. Decode all transaction data streams in real time." Lin Yu's voice was hoarse, but it carried an undeniable calmness.
"Big brother, this will burn out the computer motherboard!" Suya looked at the code jumping wildly on the screen, her eyes full of worry.
"Do as I say! My ears are more reliable than my eyes!"
Suya gritted her teeth, her slender fingers flying across the keyboard. Instantly, hundreds of millions of Myanmar public auction transaction data, futures contracts, and cross-border transfer records flooded into the small study like a burst dam.
What ordinary people hear may be chaotic noise, but in Lin Yu's mind, this data is instantly transformed into a three-dimensional sound wave spectrum by the "Emperor's Eye".
He heard vibrations at different frequencies:
• A low-frequency hum indicates normal ore mining costs;
• The noise in the mid-frequency range represents the bidding and purchasing competition among legitimate merchants;
• Those sharp, rapid, ultra-high frequency pulses that try to be hidden in the low-frequency background noise are the abnormal fund flows marked by the system.
There's a ghost here.
Lin Yu suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the left side of the screen, "Suya, capture the account data with ID 'DL-9527' and amplify its sound spectrum."
Suya acted swiftly, and the previously chaotic code on the screen was instantly stripped away, revealing a bizarre money trail. This trail, disguised as ordinary raw stone purchase funds, actually used shell companies in Myanmar, layer upon layer, to ultimately flow overseas.
"They're using 'wash trading' to launder money." Lin Yu closed his eyes, the trajectory of the funds clearly appearing in his mind. "They mark up inferior stones for tens of millions, create fake transactions, and then transfer the dirty money out through so-called 'penalties' and 'termination fees'."
"But big brother, this is only the domestic part; the overseas server addresses are still encrypted." Suya was so anxious that sweat beaded on her forehead.
"Encryption?" Lin Yu's lips curled into a cold smile. "There are no secrets in this sonic spectrum."
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the sharp pain in his right eye, and focused all his mental energy on his hearing.
"The Emperor's Eye unlocks 'reverse tracing'."
[Simulating fund flow... Matching voiceprint characteristics of overseas servers...]
In Lin Yu's auditory world, the hidden ultra-high frequency pulse signal was frantically trying to sever the connection. But Lin Yu's "ear" was like an invisible net, firmly locking onto its frequency.
"Found it."
Lin Yu suddenly opened his only remaining left eye, a glint of light flashing in his pupil.
"It's not Switzerland, nor the Cayman Islands. These people are cunning; they set up their servers on an abandoned cargo ship on the high seas, using satellite signals for relay. But their core encryption protocol uses the old-fashioned 'Deep Blue' algorithm, which has a weak harmonic vulnerability."
"Suya, send my location coordinates to Interpol and tell them the target's latitude and longitude: 15 degrees north latitude, 96 degrees east longitude, in international waters. There is a Panamanian-flagged cargo ship called the 'Seawolf' there, and their money laundering center is hidden in the bottom of the ship's hold."
"If the signal source there is cut off, this financial fraud targeting the jade market will be nipped in the bud before it even begins."
Just then, the study door was pushed open. General Aung San entered with two fully armed officers, their expressions grave.
"Lin Yu, the military's cybersecurity department has reported that a powerful hacking force is attacking the public auction settlement system, attempting to create chaos before tomorrow's opening. They say it's almost impossible to defend against."
Lin Yu leaned back in his chair, his eyes bandaged, yet he exuded an aura of dominance and authority.
"General, there's no need for defense."
Lin Yu pointed to the red money chain on the screen that was now completely locked and said calmly:
"The hunter's gun is already at the prey's head. Now, all that's left is to close the net at dawn."
