In the past month, there have been over a dozen similar asset thefts in Origin Awakening World. Each incident has been strikingly similar: the victims' Accounts suddenly "duplicate" during normal operations, and funds are transferred while the users are engaged in other transactions. Such precise maneuvers are clearly beyond the capabilities of ordinary hackers.
The most bizarre aspect is that the paths of these stolen assets are nearly impossible to trace. Although every step leaves a blockchain record, the funds seem to evaporate into thin air, disappearing without a trace in the virtual world.
"Strange..." I opened the virtual map of Origin Awakening World and pinpointed Li Wei's land. This area has recently become quite popular in the cryptocurrency circle, with land prices doubling every day. Many speculators have set their sights on this place; just two days ago, Li Wei posted on social media, claiming it was his most successful investment.
Zooming in on the map, I suddenly noticed a crucial detail: several other prime plots in this area belonged to previous theft victims. This was no coincidence.
"Damn it!" I sat up straight. This was no ordinary theft; it was clearly a premeditated and precise strike. The wealthy district's plots were being systematically cleared out, indicating a deeper scheme at play.
Pulling up the list of victims, I began cross-referencing information. It didn't take long for a common thread to emerge: all these individuals had attended a virtual real estate launch event held three months ago in Origin Awakening World. I remembered that event clearly; the organizers had included numerous interactive segments, requiring attendees to provide detailed personal information and install a so-called "lottery plugin."
"Damn!" I slammed my hand on the keyboard, nearly spilling my coffee. If my instincts were correct, the hacker's plan had begun at that launch event. This was no ordinary gathering; it was clearly a meticulously designed phishing operation.
“Li Wei, do you remember that launch event?” I quickly sent him a message. “What kind of information did they ask you to fill out?”
“What else could it be? Just the usual registration info,” Li Wei replied promptly. “Email, phone number, ID card—it's not like any platform doesn’t require that...” His message suddenly cut off for a few seconds before he continued with a voice message as if recalling something important: “Wait! Didn’t they also ask us to install some plugin? They said it was for live lottery purposes.”
His tone had changed, clearly realizing the seriousness of the situation. That seemingly innocuous plugin was likely the hacker's infiltration tool.
Everything lined up perfectly. This meticulously planned scam had begun three months ago. The hackers collected information during the launch event, used a special plugin to steal user data, and then patiently lay in wait for the perfect moment to strike.
I pulled out a crumpled pack of cigarettes from my pocket and took out the last one. It was an old habit from my police academy days; whenever faced with a tough case, I couldn't help but crave one. As smoke curled around me, the office monitor flickered with an eerie blue light, reflecting the gradually brightening sky outside.
The popularity of "Origin Awakening World" has been rising sharply lately, with many people betting their entire fortunes on it. But who could have imagined that behind this glittering virtual world lies such a massive conspiracy? The recent asset theft cases are likely just the beginning.
"Interesting," I muttered, extinguishing my cigarette as I glanced at the latest announcement for "Origin Awakening World" on my phone: the system would undergo a major update in three days. The timing was too precise to be a coincidence.
I put on my VR headset and took a deep breath. Since they were hunters, it was time for them to see what a true hunter looked like.
Just as I was about to log back into the system, an encrypted email suddenly popped up.
