481 Shadows of the World
The midday sun poured down on the oval-shaped spectator seats, and the heat wave was close to midsummer, leaving the women sitting in the spectators waiting to watch the game complaining. I wanted to open the parasol, but I realized that it would obstruct the vision of the audience behind, so I could only complain helplessly that I didn't apply enough sunscreen.
Before the start of the race, a very infectious male voice resounded over the entire racetrack:
"Welcome to the LA Super Touring Car Race! Who will win the championship today? The race is about to begin! β
As soon as the words ended, the audience erupted in deafening cheers.
"It's finally getting started, and I'm almost asleep." Kristen. Raymond yawned and leaned back in his blue seat.
Zhao Nuo didn't say anything, just stared intently at the dozen or so luxury cars lined up on the www.biquge.info line of Biqu Pavilion, among which the pitch-black Aston Martin DBRS was particularly eye-catching among a bunch of fancy and colorful cars.
"I didn't expect that guy to actually drive this car......" he thought to himself.
ββBefore leaving Los Angeles at the end of the E3 exhibition, Zhao Nuo did not forget the agreement with Lin Shuang and came to watch the game that guy participated in as promised.
Because it is a "second-class spectator seat" in the corner, there are relatively few spectators here, and if it weren't for the late ticket purchase, Zhao Nuo would not be willing to watch the game far away from the track.
But fortunately, although the seat is in the corner, the giant "top-gear" billboard behind it just blocks the direct sunlight and becomes its own "giant parasol".
ββThis game is probably the first and last game I watched in Los Angeles.
I've bought my ticket back, and I'm leaving the city tonight for my home. Returning to Hellfire Entertainment, he continued to oversee the production of "Hell Capital".
Of course, this time he was not a pure spectator.
Before the race began, he found a bet on the race and bet $200,000 on Lin Shuang, the "No. 14 Driver."
While he doesn't know much about his opponent, "The Queen of Racing" is undoubtedly the most skilled driver he's ever seen. Now that he has "returned to the right path" and hasn't raced for a long time, that guy's skills may be even stronger than himself.
Even if he is very confident in Lin Shuang's strength. Since he also made a bet, Zhao Nuo was still a little nervous. However, the two people who came to watch the battle with him did not have any nervousness at all:
Christine was still yawning here, and "Teria" in a short skirt and gray T-shirt over there was almost asleep, seeing that these two guys were not interested at all, Zhao Nuo asked helplessly: "What are you here for, camping?" β
"It's sleepy indeed." "Triya" said with her eyes closed, giving people the feeling that she was taking a nap.
In fact. This person will come to watch the game with him, which also surprised Zhao Nuo a little. He thought that this guy who concealed his true identity should avoid contact with him as much as possible.
However, at this time, Zhao Nuo, who was already sure that this person was the legendary hacker Murder7, also began to have some doubts about his conclusion:
- Is this person really that god-level hacker?
The internet has given people a channel to communicate anonymously, and many people are at odds with each other online and in real life. In real life, he is a weak white-collar office worker. When it comes to online games, it becomes a cruel and ruthless PK maniac, and this kind of thing is simply normal. But......
To say that this girl and that hacker are the same person. The difference in personality is a bit too big.
In Zhao Nuo's impression, the hacker who communicated with him on the Internet should be a guy who likes to joke and speak humorously.
But this girl in front of him...... How to say it, it can only be described by the word "old".
That's right, it's old.
Despite looking at appearances. This person seems to be younger than Zhou Yan, but her words and deeds reveal a strange sense of maturity. That has gone beyond "mature", and it is more appropriate to describe it as "old-fashioned".
Zhao Nuo even doubted that the guy in front of him was an old lady who had undergone plastic surgery. At least he had never seen anyone under the age of fifty who could exude such an aura.
She looks like an old man who has witnessed a lot of people and things, and has already seen through a qiΔ, and even has a sense of relying on the old and selling the old when she speaks. For example, now:
"There's nothing to watch in this kind of game, the result is decided before the start of the game."
Zhao Nuo was still looking forward to the start of the game, when he heard the voice of "Triya" floating around him, he suddenly felt a sullen breath welling up in his heart, and sighed: "Don't hit people like this, okay?" I remanded 200,000 on my friend this time. β
"Don't you know? NASCAR (National Federation of American Motorsports) often manipulates the outcome of races behind the scenes, after all, there are many gambling games in this kind of event, and no one misses out on the opportunity to make money. The girl with short brown hair said lazily, and her tone sounded like "I've seen a lot of things like this."
"It's possible...... But it doesn't matter. Zhao Nuo was really too lazy to continue this topic, looked left and right, and after making sure that there were no other viewers nearby, he spoke slowly:
"Since you know all this nonsense, I'd like to know what the famous hacker Murder7 is all about."
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing this, Christine was just about to speak, but was stopped by "Triya".
The brown-haired girl sighed, still not opening her eyes: "It seems that you know?" β
I thought that this guy would pretend to be stupid, but seeing her admit it so happily, Zhao Nuo was also a little surprised for a while, but he continued: "I can still tell if the other party has concealed his identity." β
"I knew I couldn't hide it from you, I was the one you said." The brown-haired girl opened her eyes slightly as she spoke, and glanced at Zhao Nuo with a lazy gaze: "The 'Death Messenger' is really as strong as in the game, and it really lost to you." β
"But, you ......," Christine was about to say something, but was interrupted again by the brown-haired girl, "There's no point in keeping it a secret, and I'm sure you won't hand me over to the police, right?" β
"Hmm. I'm a little more interested in how you ended up being a hacker. Zhao Nuo told the truth.
In the past, when he had nothing to do, he also searched for the "glorious history" of murder7 on the Internet. If the claims are true, then there is no doubt that this person is an outlier among hackers.
She has super powers, but she has never used them to earn a penny for herself, and she has hacked into top-secret databases belonging to official institutions and the military. This also makes this person's story even more legendary, and he has become one of the "idols" in the hacker world at present.
And now. This "idol faction" is sitting in front of him, and Zhao Nuo is also very interested in her experience.
Something unexpected happened again, I thought the girl in front of him would tell some "shocking" story, but the answer was surprisingly simple:
"Because I'm too curious."
"Huh? That's it? Zhao Nuo even had a feeling of being deceived at this time.
"Sometimes the answer is as simple as that, isn't it because you like to play games?" murder7 said in a calm tone.
"What's going on now? I consider myself a relatively average gamer. Zhao Nuo said.
Hearing his words, the brown-haired girl, who had never had any obvious expression, couldn't help but laugh: "Come on, I think you have a problem with the definition of 'ordinary'. β
"Don't change the subject, we're talking about you." Seeing that the topic is about to deviate. Zhao Nuo hurriedly pulled it back on track.
"Oh, me......" The brown-haired girl lazily closed her eyes again, and that appearance always reminded Zhao Nuo of a white-haired old man: "I'm just curious." β
She paused and continued, "Growing up, I've always been interested in unsolved mysteries, such as the Roseville incident, was there really a flying saucer crashed in Roseville? Has the United States really dissected alien corpses? What's the deal with crop circles? These are all things I want to know. β
"I'm also interested in these issues." Zhao Nuo said with a smile.
ββI remember when I was a kid, in addition to playing games. His other pastime was the crumpled book "The Unsolved Mysteries of the World" that his father had given him. Many bizarre and strange things recorded in it are in Zhao Nuo's young heart. It left an indelible mark that is still impressive to this day.
The brown-haired girl nodded: "My curiosity is heavier than that of ordinary people, and I couldn't even sleep at that time, and I always think about these things every day." Then I wanted to try to go into the official secret database, which would probably have some dusty information. β
Hearing this, Zhao Nuo also probably understood the origin of the legendary hacker Murder7. It seems that she is the same kind of person as herself and Xia Xiaoling. They are all the kind of beings who are extremely resolute and will never give up until they achieve their goals.
"After two years of trying, I finally managed to find a lot of amazing information from a secret database. But...... After reading those things. I'm starting to regret it again. The brown-haired girl said slowly.
Even if he already knew the answer, Zhao Nuo still asked: "Why do you regret it?" β
"Ha, if I hadn't seen those things, I wouldn't be where I am now." Murder7 whispered, "Do you know why the officials are reluctant to release those things? β
"Possibly a threat to domination?" Zhao Nuo casually said a "standard answer".
"Not really." The brown-haired girl shook her head.
"That's because...... Is that terrible? Zhao Nuo immediately came to another conclusion.
The brown-haired girl nodded, and her tone became a little heavy: "That's right." Even if the things recorded in those materials are published directly, not too many people will believe them. Because it's so scary. β
Speaking of this, she let out a long sigh: "Many people like to imagine the world as very dark, but in fact, what they see is actually just a beautiful appearance, and the real dark history is hidden in those top-secret archives that few people see." β
"Now I know what really happened to Roswell, I know what 'Philadelphia is really going on,' read the top-secret 'July Project' and 'Hummingbird Test,' and I learn the truth about the JFK assassination, but ...... I'd rather forget about these damn things myself, they're not something that the average person should be exposed to at all. β
"Is the assassin of Kennedy a guy surnamed Mason who has been brainwashed by numbers?" Zhao Nuo asked.
Hearing his words, the brown-haired girl, who was still immersed in memories, couldn't help but glance at him, and said angrily:
"You've been playing too much of Call of Duty, idiot."
At this moment, the roar of high-speed engines sounded from the track, and more than a dozen sports cars ignited at the same time, ready to start racing.
"Game on!"
At the same time as the host's voice sounded, the indicator light above the track turned green, and the sports cars participating in the race rushed out like rockets, and the audience suddenly erupted in fierce cheers. (To be continued......) R1292
