Chapter 35
Hacker Dana

Dana is also a member of the student council, her position is secretary.

As a member of the Saint Dance Academy Student Council, Dana naturally possesses skills beyond ordinary people. In addition to her excellent academic performance, she has a skill that surpasses ordinary people—computer technology, or rather, hacking technology!

It can be said that Dana's hacking skills are top-notch in the world. If she were to find a job at a technology company, Google, Microsoft, and so on would all be within her grasp. Even the national cyber security department would be more than adequate.

Dana spends most of her time in front of her computer. Originally, she would never have gone to work for the student council—what a troublesome place!

Unfortunately, who can she blame when she’s childhood friends with the student council president, Wang Meng Yu? Even though Dana strongly protested, she was forcefully suppressed by Wang Meng Yu, directly dragged to work at the student council.

This session’s Saint Dance Academy student council is quite “sharp-eared”. Many of the academy’s activities cannot be concealed from the student council. Dana plays a significant role in this, because she has installed monitoring programs throughout the campus and uses a smart AI that she designed to collect and organize information.

Naturally, Dana’s actions are illegal, and it is precisely for this reason that she was brought to work for the student council by Wang Meng Yu.

Now, this section called "Nightmare World" meets the information filtering criteria of the smart AI and is marked as "worth paying attention to." However, the level of attention is not high.

Dana generally wouldn't pay attention to this kind of content. However, because the name was quite special, after noticing the smart AI's information, Dana, who was bored, specially went to browse the section.

This section called "Nightmare World" not only has a peculiar title, but the content inside also gives off a strong sense of strangeness!

Without experiencing Nightmare World firsthand, it's impossible to understand the content of the posts. After all, content like "When I was dreaming at night, I entered a game world called 'Nightmare World' to play games" sounds more like a fairy tale or a game advertisement made by some malicious network company!

Saint Dance Academy has several game development departments. Given the nature of the students in those departments, it’s quite possible they would do something like this!

Not to mention, there are only a few dozen active players in this section.

In fact, there are posts in this topic section like "喂喂, which low-level game company made this game planner? I have to say, you're pretty good at getting into the Saint Dance Academy campus network!", "VR game is VR game, don't use such a strange explanation of dreaming... and why 'Nightmare World'?", "I know, it's definitely something the game development department made!", "No, maybe it's a social experiment conducted by the social experiment department," etc.

At first, Dana thought the same.

However, after Dana carefully read some of the content inside, she discovered that those so-called students who entered the "Nightmare World" described the dream world very realistically, not like a fake.

Judging from the time the posts were published, it seems that the number of players entering Nightmare World is increasing. This can be seen from the number of forum posts, which shows that there are about 40 Nightmare World players.

Of course, there must also be a certain proportion of players who don't pay attention to the internet, don't look at the forum, or only read but don't reply.

"Although I highly suspect this is fake, it’s quite interesting. I’ve been free recently anyway, so it's worth investigating... the creator of this section is... got it, 'The All-Knowing Fat Man News'..." Dana operated on her notes and quickly found the poster's real identity.

"Middle School Year 2 student, male... affiliated with 'Photo News Department'..." Dana muttered: "...Maybe I’ll do a little investigation."

Although the student council has more important work to do recently, Dana isn’t interested in those things. She’s in a completely half-hearted state, even hoping that this “lazy” state of hers could make her quit the student council. Unfortunately, Wang Meng Yu now holds most of the power in the student council, so it’s hard for her to quit even if she wanted to!

In the academy’s cafeteria, Odilia was having lunch with Fricia.

The scene was a bit strange, because Fricia was looking at Odilia with a big smile, and Odilia felt like her whole body was covered in goosebumps!

"Don't look at me like that, I'm getting goosebumps!"

"Hehe... hehehe..." Fricia laughed.

"Don't giggle either!"

"Okay, okay--" Fricia tried to calm down, then said: "But it's really rare, Lily-chan actually came to find me for lunch~ hehe, I'm really happy oh~"

"I'm leaving if you keep giggling!"

"No, no! I won't giggle anymore!" Fricia quickly said: "So, what's the matter?"

"I've mentioned this before, I feel like someone’s been watching me recently!" Odilia said, frowning.

"???" Fricia raised an eyebrow, then seemed to remember something and said: "Ah-- I remember, you said it a few days ago, you felt a chill in your body, like you were being watched?"

"Yes!"

"Maybe... it hasn’t gone away?"

"It hasn’t gone away, it’s even worse recently!" Odilia said seriously.
