The red curtain inside the izakaya swayed slightly, and the noise from the streets outside kept coming.
Gu He sat on the sofa, drinking wolfberry water one after another, while the console's progress in cracking the unknown encrypted file was unstoppably approaching completion bit by bit.
Then it got stuck at 99%, which has been for a while.
He remembered that when he was surfing the Internet in the past, he would occasionally click on a connection that he didn't know where to connect, and he didn't know that he had been infected by a Trojan horse virus. This document, this Pandora's box...
Suddenly, 99% finally increased to 100%, and a prompt box popped up:
[Cracking completed, viruses in files have been cleared]
When he saw the word virus, Gu He suddenly broke into a cold sweat, so it was indeed a virus.
If it weren't for this console and he blindly tried to copy and crack the original data, the consequences would be disastrous...
However, Gu He looked at the electronic panel in his mind, which still had a large area blocked by foggy light and shadow.
Is this really okay if this thing fails from time to time?
In a nervous mood, he opened the database and saw that the "Unknown Encrypted File-Copy" turned into a folder. He clicked in and saw that there were three files in the folder.
One is data in an unknown format named "Program Section No. 8";
One is a document called "Description";
There is also an image file named "video".
"What is all this?" Gu He muttered in his heart, and he could only confirm that it was not a simple loop code.
He drank the wolfberry water and boldly opened the "instructions" document first.
In my mind, lines of green characters on a black background that receded upward suddenly popped up, like data flow code:
[This is the key program segment numbered "8", which was kept by the executioner that year.
Back then, they acted in secret. The executioner took away Rawdon Ludd's head for a while, and the undertaker stored Ludd's personality data in a virtual read-only memory box. This box was then uploaded to the psychic network.
at a random location.
When the random location is generated, it is encapsulated and stored in a key program. In order to ensure that none of them will be dug out by any party using any means, they themselves do not know the specific location, and no one knows.
This key program is divided into twelve program segments, which are kept by one person from each of the twelve houses.
The key program segment is authentic, as evidenced by the accompanying video.
This is a video recorded in a read-only memory taken before Roden-Ludd's personality data was uploaded to the psychic network.
If you want more information, keep in touch and prepare more money.]
"What the hell? What turtle? Rawdon-Ludd?"
After Gu He read this document, he looked confused.
Isn't the perverted old man in Lorna whose head was beheaded named Rawdon Lourdes? Is he the same person, or has the same name?
He frowned and thought, reading the document again.
Undertaker... Goose has said that the Undertaker professional system belongs to the second house. It can create personality chips, copy personalities into them, and even help information ghosts reborn...
The executioner, the head, Roden-Lourde...are they the same person? Is Lorna still alive?
Think about it first!
It’s hard to define whether he’s dead or not, but at least he’s still alive, living in a read-only memory box in the psychic network.
Gu He did know what read-only memory was, which was ROM. Once information was written, it was fixed. After that, it could only be read out and no new information could be written.
In other words, Roden-Ludd's personality data was fixed at the moment when it was written into the ROM after the execution. It can be accessed and even reborn, but there will be no new consciousness activities in the ROM.
Like a data mummy, the read-only memory is its shroud.
Is this why Yakuza attaches so much importance to it? Just one key program segment is worth millions.
By the way, wasn't Lorna attacked by a large group of people a few days ago? She still felt baffled and didn't know who to scold.
In fact, is it also related to this matter...
"But Roden-Ludd!?"
Gu He changed to a cross-legged sitting position on the sofa, not quite understanding.
Is the personality data of Rawdon Lourdes, a villain who abused his own daughter, so valuable...
How could so many people go to great lengths to keep his personality data secret back then?
He listened to the descriptions of Lorna, Old Dog Jackson, Old Fan and others. In his imagination, Roden-Ludd was a middle-aged man with a messy beard, a violent face, excessive drinking, a wine-red nose, and a barrel-like figure.
A young man is almost like a goblin.
But something is wrong, something is wrong...
Gu He took a deep breath, scratched his head vigorously, and looked around the izakaya scene, looking for clues.
He carefully recalled everything about Rawdon Luther. Lorna said that he was a scumbag, and the old dog Jackson also said that he was a scumbag. "Bad, of course he is bad...at least that's what the judge said."
Judge? Is there such a thing as a judge in Streaming City... A child from the Mouse Gang was beaten to death in the street, where is the judge...
Thinking about it again, the old dog's tone and expression at that time were very unhappy...but it didn't seem to be directed at Ludd.
Could it be that Gu He thought of a possibility with horror.
No matter what Lorna or old dog Jackson said, they were all irrational; but Lao Fan wanted him dead as always.
That's a big deal. After being misled, he got the key information wrong. Last time, he almost scolded Lorna Rudd...
Then, then...what did Ludd commit that led to his beheading?
Is it a big, big thing...something that is not conducive to the New World Bank...
There is an answer ready to come out.
Gu He quickly opened the image file this time, and suddenly there was a wave of holographic perception information running in his mind.
The surroundings were accelerated by light and shadow into a blur, and he seemed to have entered that mysterious connection.
He saw a middle-aged man appearing a few steps ahead and took a few steps.
The man also looked mixed-race, wearing a red jacket and blue jeans, with short black hair hanging naturally, a handsome mature face, a tall body, and a casual posture. At first glance, he looked like an arrogant and irreverent master.
"Read-only memory?" The man laughed, with a charming smile, "That means next time you open me up, I will talk nonsense like this. I guess this isn't the first time, right?
"Wonderful, wonderful. I have become a holy object, just like the foreskin that was cut off from the Holy Infant, the cow dung that was pulled off by the green cow of the Taoist ancestor, and the kidney stones left by the burning of the Buddha's corpse."
The man looked straight at this side. Gu Heming knew that this was just a video from many years ago, but he felt very uncomfortable.
Rawdon-Lourde's eyes were very powerful, and even seemed to have a kind of magic that was hard to resist.
"No matter how many times it is, if anyone sees me, please tell Lorna for me. She is really cute."
The man said, his tone slightly different from before, "I have always fought for her. As long as she lives well, her mother and I will win. Otherwise, do you think I will care about you idiots?"
How are you doing?"
Suddenly, the video ended here, the holographic perception information in the brain stopped, and the illusion in front of him disappeared.
"..." Gu He silently stepped back from the console. He was not a goblin, not at all.
Even if I am a man, I almost want to shout:
Lorna's dad is so handsome.
No wonder she disdains old dog Jackson for recognizing his father everywhere...
Gu He suddenly felt a pressure, a lot of pressure, and the wolfberry water could not relieve the pressure for a while.
As a father...it's not right...as a cowherd...it's not right either...
The answer came out. Roden-Ludd was obviously the kind of troublesome guy who specifically opposed the New World Bank! He seemed to have died more than ten years ago, but in fact he was not dead. He was saved somewhere in the psychic network.
"What should I do now?"
Gu He was at a loss. This key program segment numbered 8 seemed to be of great significance.
Yakuza had a share, and so did he.
Collecting all twelve copies will form a complete key program and lead to the discovery of Rawdon-Ludd.
Three million, isn’t it a bit small?
He thought that either Pandora was in a hurry to make a move and the data was hot; or that one seller sold it to multiple people and the first seller made multiple copies for sale, so what Yakuza got was not exclusive data in the first place.
All in all, all parties, including Yakuza, are now competing for this key with different purposes.
What should I do, call Lorna to ask about the situation? Tell her the good news? And pass on Roden-Ludd's message by the way?
What are you thinking? Of course not!
This matter must not be discussed on the phone. The phone may be tapped. The data has just been transferred. If you go to talk about Rawdon-Lourde, isn't it self-inflicted? Computers will also leave records when surfing the Internet.
Others will leak the news...
Ask Miss Caiyin and Lao Fan, don't they admit that they have stolen data and violate the middleman principle?
Ask that mysterious goose? It seems possible, but it must not leave any traces...
Gu He looked to the left and to the right.
If someone or a ghost is watching him, see if he knows any secrets.
Then the best thing for me to do now is to be a salted fish!
Gu He made up his mind, stood up, went to the kitchen freezer to get a bag of salted peanuts, turned on the TV, put in the video tape of "Rose Hotel", and returned to the sofa to sit down.
The lively TV sound rang in the izakaya, the laughter sound effects of the sitcom, and Gu He's amused laughter also rang out.
While eating peanuts, he smiled and watched the episode he hadn't finished watching in the morning.
I haven't seen that data, and I don't know about it. It doesn't matter which organization or organization is looking to compete for those key program segments.
It's none of my business! In my mind, Roden Ludd is just a perverted goblin bastard.
But in Gu He's mind, the faces of the little girl, Lorna, and Kumiko Ayane flashed across her mind from time to time...
Reading Dreams, it seems that for this place and these people, Rawdon-Ludd is an important bastard.
