Chapter 163



A new day, a new rush.

Yes, I've been very busy lately.

Remember those two chips I got earlier? One with some code I couldn't understand, and one completely blank ghost chip?

I still have no idea about the former, but I have made some breakthrough progress on the latter recently.

After my unremitting study of computer technology, my new skills have made a breakthrough progress. I have completely got rid of the level of a computer novice and have never looked back on the direction of baldness.

As I expected, this was not a real blank chip, but the contents were completely hidden. After several layers of decryption, I found a ghost folder inside.

The first thing in the folder is a video, but the video is completely dark. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the mobile phone in the pocket. The key is not the picture, but the sound in the picture.

I put on my headphones and listened carefully.

The ambient noise is very loud, especially the sound of the phone rubbing against the fabric, which is very harsh. In addition to these sounds, there are also some water sounds and "crackling" sounds, but I can't determine the source of these sounds for the time being.

Excluding environmental noise, the rest is the main content of the film. However, this content does not seem to have been recorded from the very beginning. It should be an action that started suddenly in the middle.

"…Now that he knows the plan, that person must die." The voice sounded rough, probably a male's voice, let's call him Mr. A.

"He won't tell anyone. What good will it do him?" A slightly weaker male voice, probably Mr. B.

"Only the dead can keep secrets." Mr. A's attitude sounded very firm.

This was followed by a sound of friction and the sound of something falling to the ground.

Mr. B was very helpless, "Do you really have to do this?"

"For the sake of our friendship, I won't hold you responsible for this incident, but you'd better not get involved, or I won't be the one coming next time."

Oh, it seems that Mr. A still wants to protect Mr. B, friend?

"That sounds nice, but you can't let me die now, Ramsay." My fingers quickly followed Mr. B's words and wrote down this suspected name based on the pseudonym.

"Whatever you think, this matter has been decided, and Black Widow will do it herself." As Mr. A spoke, a very unclear "click" sound was heard. I went back and listened carefully several times before finally confirming that this was the sound of loading the gun.

Then there was an incomplete loud noise, and then a harsh "buzzing" sound came from the earphones, which made me pull them off subconsciously.

It hurts my ears.

I checked the progress of the video and it was already at the end.

After thinking about it for a while, I guessed that the loud noise should be the sound of a gunshot. The evidence was the previous sound of the gun being loaded. In addition, didn’t Mr. B also say that he would not be killed for the time being? Then the last gunshot was either used as a warning or to kill another person present, because based on my judgment from the sound, the recording location was on Mr. B’s body.

Of course, the last and most likely reason I think is that the target of the gunshot was this recording device - most likely a mobile phone.

Mr. A should have noticed his behavior and taken it as a warning.

The final "crackling" sound might be the final noise left by the damaged equipment. So is this audio or video recording the result of repair, or does the video equipment itself have the ability to transmit data on its own even if it is damaged by power outage?

Without considering the source of this thing for the moment, I sorted out the effective content in the recording.

First, there are only two people, male, Mr. A and Mr. B. Mr. A's name seems to be Rams, which sounds like a foreign name, but there is no strange accent in his voice.

Then there is the third person they mentioned, "Black Widow". Did I mistakenly enter some superhero story of the Avengers? My first reaction was that this should be a woman. But then I told myself to throw away the preconceived notions I had from watching the movie. This is just the Conan world, so Black Widow, as a type of spider, should be a code name.

The person with this code name can naturally be either male or female.

Then it's about what happened in their conversation, which involves character C, who is the core of Ramsay and Mr. B's discussion and sounds like a third party who knows their plan.

This is not a real-time video or audio recording. From what I heard from their conversation, C should have died. Without a specific time, it is impossible for me to find out the location of this person.

Then all you can get is a name and a code name...

Wait, since Black Widow is a code name, then Ramsay could also be something I haven’t heard of, or it could be a code name!

After all, it would be strange if real names appeared in a recording like that, right?

So I quickly Googled what the word Ramsay meant, and the results really surprised me.

Ramsay, the phonetic translation of lambs, is a potato rum.

Wine name?!

Isn't this a coincidence? This is also related to the winery. How lucky am I?

Ramsay——is a character that has never appeared in the original work. If it is not whiskey, it is difficult to judge whether it is real or fake.

What's more, what concerns me even more is that if Ramsay is a member of the winery, then why is the person sent to "deal with" C code-named "Black Widow"?

Is Black Widow a type of wine?

I quickly looked it up, just in case I was the only one who was ignorant. At least as far as I could Google, the only thing I could find was a "Widow's Kiss" cocktail that needed to be mixed.

Probably not.

Spiders, animals, codes.

I remembered reading in the newspaper that the Touto Aquarium, invested and built by the Suzuki Foundation, has entered the final stage of construction and is expected to start operations soon.

The word "Suzuki" was like a flash of inspiration that allowed me to connect all these clues - the Phantom Thief Kidd.

The villains in his universe are codenamed after animals, right?

Moreover, the two organizations pursue such similar things, and their scales both support the responsibility of being villains in the same anime universe. It makes no sense that they would have no connection or communication if they were in the same world.

Although I remember that Aoyama Lao Ze seemed to have said that the two universes are not entirely the same, but given that Lao Ze has been on hiatus for many years, the last update to the Phantom Thief Universe was a few years ago, so it is not impossible that they will be merged in the later stages.

After all, the brains are connected, so is it possible that similar universes cannot be connected?

After figuring this out, my mind suddenly opened up.

Turn off the video for now. There is a small document following the video, which contains a URL. After checking, I found that the URL is related to a virtual contact chat room. However, to log in, you need an account number and password, and you only have one chance to enter it.

I can only withdraw temporarily and dare not try it rashly.

But there is another thing about the video that can be cracked. According to my guess, the video was destroyed after it was recorded on site. If it was transmitted directly, then the location where the video was recorded may be preserved in the video; if it was repaired, it would be more troublesome. The repairer did it intentionally, and it is very likely that the original information will be deleted and the repairer's own information will be covered.

I opened the code information of the video file to operate it. There were quite a few missing parts in the code part, but they were not the kind that were deliberately eliminated. They were just incomplete, as if they were transmitted halfway and then lost.

This is a good thing, indicating that the first possibility is increasing.

I continued to operate, just like ordinary photos have detailed time and location, videos also have this ability.

With my current ability, it would be good enough if I can repair part of it.

It is too difficult to restore time, and we can only confirm that this was a conversation that happened several years ago. However, based on the final effect presented by the recording equipment and the model of the recording equipment detected, we can probably judge that the content is the same.

The time between now and then is probably about ten years, plus or minus two years.

Then there’s the location. I can’t pinpoint it, but I can probably tell it’s somewhere near Nagano Prefecture.

Nagano Prefecture...

When I saw this place, my heart suddenly skipped a beat.

This is a physiological reaction, which is the reaction that Jingguang gave after seeing this familiar place name.

I wasn't actually prepared to meet Gao Ming at first. After all, when it comes to brothers, there's some kind of telepathy or something like that, so I was a little scared.

But the information I uncovered after further investigation compelled me to set off.

When I further narrowed the scope and filtered based on the time information within the approximate range, I saw a familiar group name.

halsey pharmaceutical group.

——Health.

The reason why I am familiar with this word is that on the day I traveled through time just now, when I escaped from the high-rise building, the building that was on fire belonged to Halsey Pharmaceuticals.

When I took the gun, I saw a logo in the lower right corner of the various documents on my desk. It was the logo of Halsey Pharmaceuticals.

If this doesn't matter, I'll eat this computer screen right here.

I did some research and found that although the address of Hailsey Pharmaceutical in Nagano Prefecture changed several times, its general location did not change significantly.

This makes me wonder if there is some reason why it is inconvenient to change, such as some equipment that cannot be transported long distances... or some experimental content.

I touched the brain thread on my head.

After all, this is Jingguang's original body. When writing the script, I must of course take into account what has already happened in this world, that is, what originally happened in Jingguang's body.

If there is a conflict between the established reality and the completed settings, then what will happen next?

I'm not sure.

But what is certain is that I have to check out Halsey Pharmaceuticals.

Moreover, according to my current preliminary plan of "finding memories for myself who has lost my memory", Nagano Prefecture is also a place I must go to if I am mentally prepared.

You will die sooner or later, and you will die sooner or later.

I can do it!
