Chapter 64: Secret Key
"To put it simply, it's similar to magic."
Magicians can also do all kinds of incredible things, such as sawing a person in half and then putting him back together, and making pigeons appear out of thin air.
But no one would believe that the magician really has magic. Even a child would know that it is just a disguise used by the magician.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand the magician’s specific methods, as long as you know that they are fake.
The same is true today.
We don’t know what means or technology you used to achieve this kind of “predicting the future”, but as long as we know the impossibility of predicting the future from the basic physics theory, we can judge that you are most likely just playing tricks.
The first decision maker pondered silently for a long time before saying, "That makes sense. Since it's the Moon Goddess who's behind this, then..."
He gently pressed a button on the table. A moment later, Wei Ning reappeared.
"Go check these two pieces of paper and see if you can find any clues."
Wei Ning carefully took away the two pieces of paper.
Zhou Cheng knew that the human world would use all means to detect any tiny traces on these two pieces of paper.
If we could find clues like who these papers had come into contact with and who wrote the words on them, then maybe we could follow the clues and find some clues about the Moon Goddess, or at least some existence closely related to the Moon Goddess.
"Back to the contents of these two pieces of paper.
In addition to that paragraph, the second piece of paper has some more symbols than the first. What do you think about this?"
Zhou Cheng and Liu Yu shook their heads at the same time: "We don't understand."
"Then let's give the footage to experts in various disciplines to review together. Also... we can publicize this matter itself to see if anyone can figure out the specific methods used to accomplish this."
After giving his orders to his subordinates, the first decision maker looked at Zhou Cheng and the others again and said, "For safety reasons, you will stay here for the time being.
There are vacant dormitories here, you can stay there first."
Zhou Cheng nodded silently. A moment later, he remembered something: "Sir, please ensure that the people responsible for installing the communication relay equipment for each cradle pay attention to safety.
We refuse to heed the Moon God's warnings, and I'm worried she might take action against them."
The first decision maker said slowly: "I will."
Zhou Cheng, Liu Yu, and the little monkey stayed in a dormitory in the World Government Building. Furthermore, it was obvious that the security level of the World Government Building had also increased significantly.
During this wait, the first result regarding the contents of the paper appeared.
"According to analysis by a team of mathematicians, the additional symbols compared to the first piece of paper are likely to be a secret key."
"Secret key?"
Zhou Cheng looked at the staff member who came to inform him of this matter with some surprise: "What secret key?"
It's like a key and a lock. If we determine that this piece of information is a key, then where is the lock that corresponds to this key?
“No one knows that.”
After asking and talking for a while, the staff member left, and Zhou Cheng and the others began to wait again.
This time, the two waited for more than ten days before they received another situation report.
"We found out the paper mill that produced the paper and the date it was manufactured. We also determined the model of the pen used to write the words and its production and production dates based on the ink type, but we couldn't confirm who actually purchased the products and wrote the words."
"What's the date they were made? What's the date they were written on?"
“The paper and pen for the first sheet were from nine and eight months ago, respectively, and the second sheet was from four and two months ago.
In addition, we found many biological traces during the paper testing, but after further inspection, we found that except for you and Liu Yu, none of them were human.
It is probably impossible to find out who had come into contact with these papers before.
However, paper is made by humans, and pens are also made by humans. These two points are certain.
Then, the writers are almost certainly us humans.
If so, does this mean that the Moon God is a human? Or, perhaps one of the members of the Moon God group is human? Or, taking a step back, is there a human or human group on Earth, in the human world, that has a close connection with the Moon God?
Faced with the questions from this member of the decision-maker's advisory group, Zhou Cheng fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he said, "It's possible. But besides these three possibilities, there is another possibility."
"oh?"
"The writer doesn't necessarily have a connection with the Moon God.
In this incident, the most important thing is not who bought the paper and pen, or who wrote the content. That is not important.
What matters is the means by which the Moon Goddess delivered it to me.
In this world, with so many people, there are always some who are filled with reluctance, yet forced by reality to despair. Such people are entirely likely to have the motivation to write such a passage as a self-admonition.
After writing it, they’re also more likely to throw it away.”
The consultant nodded and said, "That's indeed a possibility.
This leaves four possibilities. The first three can be categorized as either a close connection between the Moon Goddess and humans or a lack thereof. The fourth possibility you mentioned can be categorized as a lack of close connection between the Moon Goddess and humans.
Overall, there's a certain possibility that the Moon Goddess maintains a close connection with us humans, so this is worth investigating.
Next, we will try to investigate this aspect.”
Zhou Cheng didn't raise any questions, but instead asked, "Have you made any progress in investigating how Yue Shen delivered these two pieces of paper to me?"
This incident has been notified to all existing experts in various fields.
Many experts are trying to use their expertise to find ways to do this without involving the so-called "predicting the future."
Even if the method is not practically feasible but only theoretically feasible, it is acceptable.
As long as we find this method, we can go back and check whether the delivery method of the Moon Goddess is the same. Once we can make a breakthrough in the specific method, we will have a great hope of following the clues and finding more clues about the Moon Goddess.
The consultant sighed. "There's been no progress yet. However, every expert involved in this matter agrees with your assessment that predicting the future is impractical."
They are trying to find it, and maybe they will find some results soon.”
"I hope so."
…
Time continued to pass slowly, and in the blink of an eye, two months had passed.
Winter goes and spring comes, and flowers bloom.
On this day, Zhou Cheng received a report.
The project to upgrade the communications of all cradles around the world has finally been completed.
