Three days later, Bai Yu boarded a flight from the United Kingdom to Tokyo, Japan.
Finally he decided to come and have a look.
Three days ago, the person who left the text on his computer must have been Noah's Ark.
The creator of Noah's Ark was Hiroki Sawada, a Japanese teenager who committed suicide two years ago and was also a computer programming genius.
Speaking of Sawada Hiroki, the two used to be good friends. Hiroki's character is a bit similar to Bai Yu's. Both of them have very cold personalities.
However, Bai Yu was born with a lack of emotion, and the death of his parents made him very indifferent to others. Hiroki was a little autistic because of the Japanese education system and family reasons.
However, after the two became friends, Hiroki's personality became much more cheerful. Their talents in the computer field made them have common topics. The two also gave each other guidance in areas that the other was not good at.
People can be regarded as having a relationship of both teachers and friends.
Bai Yu felt very sorry for Hiroki's suicide two years ago, but didn't think much about it. It might be because of the heavy psychological burden. After all, Hiroki was only ten years old. But Noah's intrusion made Bai Yu feel sorry for Hiroki.
Suicide was suspected.
Noah's Ark mentions cocoons in the text. Does Hiroki's suicide have anything to do with cocoons? Or is Noah's Ark hiding some secrets in the cocoons? Secrets about Hiroki?
In the end, Bai Yu decided to attend the Cocoon conference in Japan to experience the game personally and look for clues left by Hiroki.
After making up his mind, Bai Yu booked a flight to Japan in two days, and this was the beginning of the scene.
Japan, Tokyo
The plane was a little late, and it was almost five o'clock when we landed.
The person who came to pick him up was a tall, middle-aged uncle with slightly white hair - Ryuichi Yamashita.
Mr. Yamashita went to war when he was young and served in the Self-Defense Forces after the war until he left the Self-Defense Forces five years ago.
"Master Bai Yu, welcome to Japan." Yamashita bowed 45 degrees to Bai Yu, "I am Yamashita, and I will be responsible for all your security and daily affairs in Japan."
"Hello, Mr. Yamashita." Bai Yu nodded.
After a brief chat, Yamashita sent Bai Yu to the hotel booked in advance.
After finishing dinner in the room, Bai Yu took out his computer and planned to continue improving the "Cleaner".
Bai Yu's original idea was that after starting the program, the cleaner would completely isolate and clean the computer or personal terminal. After starting the program, all remote operation intentions would be isolated.
But it is impossible for people to keep an eye on the computer all the time and have time to open programs during an intrusion.
What Bai Yu has to do now is to upgrade the cleaner from manual startup to automatic startup. The upgraded cleaner will automatically start after the computer or personal terminal is finished using it. Of course, there will be a warning before starting.
Bai Yu's next plan is to upgrade the cleaner to be able to automatically identify whether it operates autonomously or externally. However, this workload will be huge. Now there are no servers around to share the workload with other personnel, so we have to do it step by step.
Bai Yu stayed in the hotel room for two full days, and even ate directly in the room. However, Bai Yu did not stay in the room anymore because tomorrow was the press conference of "Cocoon".
The game badges required to participate in the game were sent to Bai Yu together with the fee after Bai Yu completed the design.
Yamashita will deliver the dress for the press conference in the afternoon. Today Bai Yu is going to go for a walk outside Tokyo or in a park to relax and visit a teacher.
