《Universe 2.0》Chapter 83 It looks like nothing happened

"Master, could you see me just now?" Natalie asked William as she slowly followed the instructions of the map, pulling back the "completely disappear" clothes and poking her head out.
"Ha ha, I couldn't see you, but I can now." William laughed. He let Natalie put on the clothes again, and then tried to locate her with a detector, but it was all in vain.
"That reminds me, however." He said to the others, "Now we can't see each other, so we must work together in Room -Ts. That is to say, keep close together so that we won't get apart."
"But there's one problem: how are we supposed to communicate, if we're going to put on those clothes? Talking? Sending radio messages? Don't think about it -- these clothes can even absorb all sound and electromagnetic waves." Said Photon.
Ranran thought carefully for a moment and then answered him,
"We must write what we want to say. It's the only way."
"Wow, that's a lot of trouble." Aria said somewhat impatiently.
William shook his head helplessly, "But there's no other way. Do you want to be found by detectors in that room?"
In the end, they had to do so.
As they spoke, they climbed several hills and passed the strange forest. An arch of stone appeared in front of them. The vault was so dusty that the dust covered the corners of the stone. The dim stars were like sleepy eyes. Starlight illuminated something that looked like an outline. "I'll go and see," Said William, approaching the vault and gently wiping the dust off the outline with his hand. And sure enough, these were the words:
-Ts
William commanded, "Great, this is it! Put on your clothes. We're going to act." So the party put on the "completely disappear" clothes given to them by the spider robot. In an instant they were all gone into the silence of night.
Without the protection of sphere fighters, they had to be extra careful. The best way to protect themselves was to keep those clothes on until they left the room. As they walked through the vault, they walked breathlessly past each detector overhead. Time seemed to be slowed down so much by an invisible force, and their legs moved as heavily as if they had been filled with heavy metals. Once again William felt a huge stone pressing against him, preventing him from moving quickly. "Never take your clothes off..." That was all that remained in his mind.

They opened a door, passed a detector, descended a spiral staircase, and opened another door. Then they saw the detectors surrounding the room, because they had come to the computer.
Even the others could hear William's heart beating fast, and no one knew why. They touched each other to make sure no one was left behind. William approached the chair in front of the computer like a snail, and slowly placed his body on it. Then, stiffly, his hand pressed the power switch.
The light on the switch button lit up. It was an indescribable color, a mixture of the red of blood, the black of terror, and all sorts of other unrecognizable colors. Everyone's blood was frozen. A devil icon appeared on the screen, but disappeared a few seconds later. Moments later, a mouse pointer with tusks appeared in the center of the screen. Then a page appeared,
Please enter the username and password.
If you want to get the password table, please click the "Get password table" button. After that, you will be tested. If the detectors recognize that you are an illegal user, the weapon system will be triggered.
Get password table
"Keep your clothes on!" William wrote on the bodies of everyone. Then he clicked "Get password table".
Hundreds of red lights flashed all around at once, with some faint sounds at the same time. The party froze to the spot, not daring to make a single sound. Although they would be safe enough if they wore the "completely disappear" clothes, they were not taking any chances. Everyone except William clung to each other like a giant snowball. The snowball sat quietly behind the seat.
After what seemed an eternity, the red lights all went out. Then, a password table was presented to them,
000 NUL 032 Space 064 @ 096 ` 001 SOH 033 ! 065 A 097 a 002 STX 034 " 066 B 098 b 003 ETX 035 # 067 C 099 c 004 EOT 036 $ 068 D 100 d 005 ENQ 037 % 069 E 101 e 006 ACK 038 & 070 F 102 f 007 BEL 039 ' 071 G 103 g 008 BS 040 ( 072 H 104 h 009 TAB 041 ) 073 I 105 i 010 LF 042 * 074 J 106 j 011 VT 043 + 075 K 107 k 012 FF 044 , 076 L 108 l 013 CR 045 - 077 M 109 m 014 SO 046 . 078 N 110 n 015 SI 047 / 079 O 111 o 016 DLE 048 0 080 P 112 p 017 DC1 049 1 081 Q 113 q 018 DC2 050 2 082 R 114 r 019 DC3 051 3 083 S 115 s 020 DC4 052 4 084 T 116 t 021 NAK 053 5 085 U 117 u 022 SYN 054 6 086 V 118 v 023 ETB 055 7 087 W 119 w 024 CAN 056 8 088 X 120 x 025 EM 057 9 089 Y 121 y 026 SUB 058 : 090 Z 122 z 027 ESC 059 ; 091 [ 123 { 028 FS 060 < 092 \ 124 | 029 GS 061 = 093 ] 125 } 030 RS 062 > 094 ^ 126 ~ 031 US 063 ? 095 _ 127 DEL

"Oh? Isn't this the ASCII code table?" William suddenly realized, "The set of rules that seemed complicated turns out to be so simple." He quickly asked the little robot to take a picture and then compared the picture of the username and password. He succeeded in breaking the code,
User name: 23091212090113\2
Password: 05=1303^\2
William quickly typed in the username and password, then pressed the enter key. The ugly "Welcome" stung the eyes of the party. It quickly disappeared and was replaced by a black background, several red-and-black icons, together with a blood-red taskbar. William moved the horrible mouse pointer to the "This PC" icon and opened it. He saw that the column "Devices and drives" had four options, but he didn't know which drive to choose.
"Master, you have not decoded the document address." Photon wrote on his body with the propeller.
"Oh, yes! Why did I forget this!" He soon succeeded in decoding the address,
F:\TopSecrets\DisappearingMaterial\Ingredients\ing.txt
William was overjoyed. Without thinking, he opened the corresponding folders according to address names, finally finding the text document successfully. "However, I need to make sure that this is the very document." He said to himself.
The key words in the window convinced him. "Well, I've found you. I guarantee you, that the next second you'll go from 0s and 1s to 0s." He said fiercely.
However, when he tried to delete the file using the "Delete" function in the menu, he was asked to provide his administrator identity.
You will be tested again. Please be prepared. You have 10 seconds left.
"Freeze!" William wrote on bodies of them all. Then he pressed the button.
The red lights on the wall went on again. Nimble Photon quickly embraced the others, and William seemed frozen. When the red lights went off, William was finally allowed to delete the file. So he pressed the mouse button decisively.
The party was happy secretly seeing the file icon disappear from the screen. However, this was not the end. Alarmed, William checked the recycling bin and emptied it.
"This is the end," He told the others.
"Gosh, I don't want to see this horrible system again. Turn off the computer as quickly as you can!" Aria told William, shaking her leading wheels.
"Yes, no problem." He moved quickly to turn off the computer. At last the light on the button went off, and they were once more plunged into a dreadful darkness and silence.
Yet what made them confused, even freaked out, was that the moment the computer powered off, suddenly from behind them came "Hiss...... Hiss..." and it soon disappeared without a trace.
"What's that sound?" Ranran's mind went blank. She remembered the sound they had heard in the underground tunnel. "These two are very similar!" She thought, feeling cold all over.
"Let's get out of here as soon as we can." William wrote on the bodies of the others. He rose slowly, walked to the door, and opened it. As before, they made their way up the spiral staircase, through the detectors, and finally came out of the stone arch and back onto the ground.
"Oh! It's finally over." Photon couldn't wait to take off his clothes. The others also deactivated their invisibility.
"It's so limiting!" Natalie said, a little crossly, "We're not going to wear it forever, are we?"
"I don't think we will need to wear these clothes for a while." William said, "Yet it's good stuff. It makes us 'completely disappear', so it looks like nothing happened."
Rebecca looked at the next destination on William's computer and said nervously, "I don't want to go here..."
"Well, me neither, but we must." William approached her and shook his head helplessly. Then a sharp wind blew, and the party shivered. And what made them even more frightened was that the wind was mixed with that hissing sound, which stung their nerves like a sharp needle.
"I know you guys are afraid of this sound," William replied calmly. His eyes went to Natalie and Rebecca who were trembling. He said, "I'm frightened too, but there are checkpoints there, so let's go."

Katra
Kardin lived a happy and good life. That is, till he was given a strange orb by an even stranger man, maybe even a demon. He watches as his village is burned, the villagers slaughtered and his friend devoured. He escapes into the Jungle of The Gods, a place of ancient ruins and deadly animals. There, he is changed and his fate diverges from what should have been his death. Now he must forge his own path in a world of great beauty and power, where death lurks around the corner and battles between veritable gods are fought. Where nations clash and ancient beings destory civilizations on whims. But unseen cogs move under the surface, events transpiring beyond simple understanding. Strange and powerful items called Artifacts have started to reappear across the land of Auren, empowering their wielders far beyond what cultivation can give. The Traezar Empire and all of Auren are on the precipice of war and strange beings have started to emerge, all with an agenda of their own. Chaos is brewing, and Kardin must survive it, all while trying to attain vengeance and understand his strange and anomalous Katra. ***Current Schedule*** I am currently releasing 1 3,000(Sometimes I end up writing waaaay more) word chapter halfs every week. If there is not some sort of notice as to why I have vanished, then I'm probably dead. Let's hope I don't die then, eh? *Ducks under flying knife* I own this cover, put my own blood, sweat and an hour of my time into it. Ahahaha! This story is inspired (I stress this word, as because most of the story is different) by Will Wight’s Cradle. I highly recommend you read it! (Please for gods sake, if you have something to say, please do it in a curteous fashion. I don’t need any more maniacs flying at me and trying to stab me with sporks, I am already insane enough to fill that role.*Winks*) **What is This Story?** Think cultivation mashed with western fantasy, put into a pot to boil and then drunk while it's pipping hot. All the while a mad man(me) cackles insanely over the pot, stirring. It draws from xianxia lightly, which means no exasperated angry young masters. No “genuis” or “prodigy” MC, one that is not OP, or anything of the like. If you don’t like cultivation novels, this might still be up your alley. MC focuses on “Life Shaping”, see poll 2 for more Info. Warning! If your are squeamish, that gore and traumatizing content tag is there for a reason. I shall dive into both bloody and disturbing scenes and the questionable ethics of manipulating life, and some of it won’t be pretty. With a dose of realism added in. I do add my own evi- I mean despic- no, sorry, interesting twists aswell. >:) Also, I HATE info dumps! *Steps out of the way of a charging semi* Still not dead! Arc 1 (Kindling): Chapter 1 - 13 Arc 2 (Metempsychosis): Chapter 14 - 29 Arc 3 (???): Chapter 30 - ??? A disclaimer, I am new author and am still feeling out my limitations. This story is my hope of bettering my writing skills and to have fun. Buckle up and enjoy the insane journey that is Katra. (Pronounced as cah-tra)

Legends of The Wesh: Lochley
The Universe is held together by something. It is an undisputable truth but nobody knows what that something is. People claim that it is connected by The Path of Legends, where Gods traversed trying to find the meaning of their own existence. Others claim that the universe is a Tree, connecting worlds with its extending branches and giving life-bearing fruits to its inhabitants. Several even claimed that the Universe is just a colony of ants, that this universe and the worlds in it are just as insignificant as insects. In one of the Worlds in it, the arrival of someone signaled great changes. Gods will die, Trees will Rot, Insects will burn. Those at the top had fallen and they will upend the worlds trying to claim what was theirs. Those at the bottom have had enough of scraps and they yearned to devour the fruits of the worlds. Those that were innocent and caught in between had no choice but to persist, lest they get erased by the surging tides. Nobody knows where will they end, but everybody knew where they started. They will not be judged, they will not be rebuked, they will not be curbed, they will not be vanquished. The universe is their canvas and it’s time — time to paint their truths upon it. Azrael was born as a prince in the warring world of Ost. Inheriting the title but not its privileges and oppressed by his siblings in every step of his life, he had no choice but to be subservient to their whims until circumstances spiraled him to the abyss, to a new world, and to more agreeable companions. But is he truly free from the past or will it continue to hound him to his new life? Elira had one wish… to be known more than as an offspring of the Great Phasol Family. Talented, hardworking, and stubborn, she struggled to break free from the influence of her family. Everything had been going well in her life but is she strong enough to resist the upheaval and truths of the world? William grew up in an orphanage with nothing to his name. Regaled by various tales of fantasy and greatness by his caretakers, he reached adulthood with the goal of having a legend of his own. Will he make his mark on the world or be forgotten like an ant; crushed by the boot of an unsuspecting traveler. The world of Lochley has been at peace for centuries and its undercurrents are growing restless from waiting… waiting for that spark of opportunity to ignite and swallow the world whole. Some will cause it, some will resist it, and some be drowned by it. Which one will you be?
