Chapter 33: Kakule's Diary
The video will be destroyed after playback.
In the hermit's personal options, there is an unknown applet, which is the decoder used to interpret Kakule's diary mentioned by Char in the video.
Char left the bar and went to the empty cubicle alone, lost in thought.
"Obviously, I'm in big trouble. In desperation, I chose amnesia to escape some kind of threat. However, this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and one day, trouble will come back to the door. Therefore, I need strength! ”
Char's fingers flexed, knuckles tapping lightly against the wooden table, a habit he had when he was caught up in thought.
"Before I lost my memory, I was a top hacker and had a lot of resources at my disposal. Eventually, I did come up with the idea of a solution to the problem, which was to decipher Dr. Kakule's diary and find out the secret of evolution. ”
"The question is... This decoder is less than 10MB in size, is it useful? Char was skeptical.
Since Dr. Kakule's disappearance, there have been countless consortia, institutions, and scholars who have studied Dr. Kakule's diary. There are even some well-known universities that have made the study of Dr. Kakule's diary and his life history a special subject.
But three hundred years later, Kakule scientists have not yet deciphered the diaries' symbols.
These letters, also known as Kakule ciphers, are considered to be the most complex ciphers in the world.
Some scholars claim that the Kakule code cannot be deciphered.
Char, who was only fifteen years old, single-handedly created a decoder to decipher Kakule's code?
If the decoder is real, and can really decipher the Kakule code, then this small program will cause a major earthquake in the scientific community and even rewrite the course of human history.
"No... Not alone, there is also a navy. ”
Char suddenly remembered that she had mentioned the name Deep Blue in the video.
Obviously, Deep Blue is the one in the hermit's friend list, and the avatar is a blue sea.
At the thought of Deep Blue, Char's heart swelled with a warm current.
"Who is Deep Blue? My friend? Close relatives? Char's brows furrowed slightly, "The question is, why didn't Deep Blue respond to my message?" ”
"Could it be—" Char had an ominous premonition.
The worst possibility is that Deep Blue, like Char, knows a secret and gets into big trouble.
"Anyway, I'm not going to lie to myself. But with my current social status and abilities, how can I get my hands on Dr. Kakule's diary? Char didn't have time to mourn his forgotten friend, and he quickly thought of another problem.
Kakule's diary is priceless.
Char searched for it, and the big auction in Science City last month had just successfully traded a page of Kakule's diary.
"Three hundred million federal currency?"
Char was so surprised by this staggering astronomical figure that his eyes almost popped out.
However, Char soon discovers that this is the original price of Kakule's diary.
With Dr. Kakule's exalted position in the history of mankind and science, even a piece of toilet paper that he used would be bought by crazy collectors at high prices. What's more, the diary written by him himself has a very high collection value and research value.
Char searched for a while more and found two important pieces of information.
The good news is that there are replicas of Kakule's diary for sale on the web.
The bad news is that the handwritten and photocopied pages of these so-called Kakule diaries are cheap but poorly made, and they look like counterfeits.
After all, no one can understand the Kakule code, and some unscrupulous merchants imitate the style of the Kakule code and produce many counterfeit products, which are flooded on the Internet.
As for the expensive replicas, they may not be genuine.
All in all, it takes a lot of money and effort to get the real Kakule diary, even if it's a handwritten page or a copy page.
Char is not yet sixteen years old, very young and energetic.
The problem is, he doesn't have any money.
Char doesn't even have the money to pay the rent, and at any moment she will be kicked out by the landlord and become a homeless person on the street.
In this case, Char's desire to buy Kakule's diary is undoubtedly a fantasy.
While Char is distressed by poverty, the Scarlet Witch and Merlin appear at the Wizard's Bar one after the other.
"Hermit-sama! I was looking for you. Merlin's gaze swept over the bar, and when he saw the hermit in the white hat and white robe, he immediately came over with joy.
The Red Witch was the same, stepping on the heels of her red high heels behind Merlin, and asked, as usual, "Hermit, can you have a few words?" ”
"Why not?"
Char leaned back slightly, and said in a flat tone.
Char plays the omniscient hermit in front of Merlin and the Red Witch.
No matter how distressed Char was at the moment, he wouldn't show it in front of the two.
"Merlin, I didn't expect you to be a federal agent. This time, the federal intervention in the William Castle affair stifled many benefits. You must have been rewarded by your boss, and even promoted and raised. A glass of red wine appeared in the Scarlet Witch's hand, pale red wine rippling in the glass, and she smiled and looked at Merlin, the gray-robed wizard.
Merlin was stunned at first, then immediately laughed, not to be outdone, "I didn't expect that the Red Witch, who has always been a loner, has a close relationship with the Silver Wing Hunter Guild in Hope City. Let me guess that you reacted so quickly, even if you weren't a hunter of the Silverwing Hunter Guild, you must be living in Hope City. ”
Through the Fort William incident, Merlin and the Scarlet Witch snooped on each other, more or less learned some of each other's identities, and immediately attacked each other with a needle.
For a while, the atmosphere at the wine table became a little tense, although both of them were smiling, but their eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Tuk...
The hermit stretched out his right hand, tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, and said lightly: "The two of you came to the bar to find me, didn't you come to attack each other?" ”
"Hermit-sama, I'm here to thank you." Merlin stood up, grabbed the wizard hat in his hand, bowed slightly, and said, "With your help, the Federation solved the long-troubled "1-107" haunted house incident and recovered the bodies of four federal agents. I also received some rewards for providing important information. Thank you again! ”
Merlin no longer conceals his identity as a federal agent at this moment.
There are tens of thousands of federal agents, and Merlin believes that with this information alone, the Red Witch will not be able to find her identity.
Moreover, Merlin revealed his identity as a federal agent, also to knock the mountain and shock the tiger and make the Red Witch jealous.
Hacking is an extremely serious crime in this day and age, and no matter how strong the Red Witch is, she will not be able to stand up to the Federation.
"Hmph."
The Red Witch naturally saw Merlin's thoughts, and snorted coldly, her expression quite disdainful.
