Chapter 67 059. Decryption
When Li Dang walked to the ramen shop where he had lunch before, he saw that the ramen shop was separated by police cordons, and Saito Sobayashi was the one who first knocked on the door of his office. Shibasaki, who had disguised himself with Watanabe, was standing at the door listening to the stories of the customers in the ramen shop.
Li Dan glanced at Officer Saito with some disgust, secretly cursing the classic saying "Japan is so small" in his heart, lowered the open black umbrella slightly, and continued to pretend He walked towards the office as if nothing had happened.
To be honest, Li Ming doesn't have a good impression of Japanese detectives like Saito. In his impression, most of this profession is an existence that has nothing to do with oneself, and sometimes even does it for the sake of advancement. Own performance and tough to make people guilty.
Coupled with the appearance Saito showed when he visited the office before, Li Ming felt even more disgusting.
When walking past the ramen shop, Li Ming paused deliberately, turned the black umbrella's cover, and then left.
For a profession with keen insight, it is indeed necessary to act like an ordinary person so as not to be suspected.
Shortly after Li Ming left, Saito Zonglin came back to his senses from his work state. He turned his head and looked in the direction Li Ming left, raised his eyebrows, and continued to inquire about the situation at that time.
Beize Hospital is not far from Li Dang's office, so he quickly arrived at the door of the office. When he was about to take out the key and open the door, his cell phone suddenly rang——
< br>It is a text message from LINE.
As an instant social chat software, LINE is actually similar to QQ in daily life in Japan.
But since most Japanese people use LINE for instant messaging, Li Ming gave up using QQ chat software to contact others.
After all, in his plan, he will stay in Japan for a long time. If he does not adapt to the local habits as soon as possible, it may be more difficult to investigate in his later life.
Opening the LINE chat page, although he has been doing the same activities as Japanese locals, Li Ming doesn't have many real friends, and he doesn't even have more than five communication friends on LINE.
The person who sent him the message this time was a user named "Blackwood", and it seemed that they had become friends.
when?
Li Dang recalled it. He clearly remembered that he had not taken out his mobile phone when he was in Beize Hospital before?
Kuroki sent him a text file called "Laboratory White Dream Summary", along with a text message -
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Li, what happened before There are really too many things, so I put each I forgot to show you Ci Bai Meng’s summary, and I used your phone to add me as a friend before you woke up. Are you okay?”
Li Tuo narrowed his eyes and let out a long sigh. tone, I only replied to him with one word: "Yeah."
After seeing that his message had been read, Kuromu quickly received a reply.
"Okay, as a hospital doctor, I have one more thing to tell you. I asked Bai Niao, and Bai Niao said that he told you the reason why Bai Meng collapsed, so about this I also hope you can keep this matter confidential for our hospital.”
"Of course, confidentiality is a word of caution. Even if you tell this matter, our hospital will not use coercive means to kill you, so you can rest assured."
Kuroki paused for a moment and continued to send messages.
“Just because of this incident, there is a new unknown field related to the study of dreams in our hospital, so until the research is completed, we hope that this new disease will remain mysterious to the outside world.”
"In addition, I warn you as a friend to stay as far away from Miss Kurosawa as possible, because I don't know what will happen if ordinary patients stay with special patients. This is for your safety."
Stay away from Kurosawa?
Li Dang glanced at the thick envelope he just accepted, with a helpless expression on his face.
"Okay, I understand, I will try to stay away from Kurosawa, but if it is beneficial to my work, then maybe." Although Li Ming did not intend to accept Kuroki's suggestion Compliant, but still replied with some innocuous words out of politeness.
“Okay, we will contact you via LINE from now on. Generally, the treatment interval for patients is one week, but given that you have just experienced a Honkai Dream, your next treatment time may be delayed. I’ll contact you via LINE then.”
"Then finally, I wish you a happy life~"
Here is the end of Kuroki's message. Li Dang has no intention of replying. He just clicks on it and takes a look, then closes the phone and takes it out of his pocket. The key inside opened the door to the office.
After the door was opened, a damp breath hit his face. Li Dang squinted his eyes, leaned the long-handled black umbrella in his hand against the door, and walked straight to the chair next to the desk.
Putting all the things stuffed in the coat pockets on the table, Li Dang pinched the bridge of his nose with the index finger and thumb of his right hand, closed his sore eyes, and felt a little relaxed.
There are not many items on the desk, but it is a bit messy. In addition to the white paper that was consumed in the Baimeng world, there are also square pieces of paper. The dagger with the strange totem engraved on it is naturally It disappeared with the passing of the white dream.
Staring at the square piece of white paper with the experimental records written on it, Li Min frowned. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it.
Suddenly he remembered something, picked up the mobile phone lying aside and entered it on the Google engine. After narrowing the search scope through keywords, Li Ming found the information he wanted——< br>
"A big explosion occurred in the Pacific Ocean. The aftermath of the explosion spread to nearby countries. The search and rescue team is still searching for the cause of the explosion in the sea."
The signing date was eighty-nine years ago.
Because this is a previous report, after clicking on the main text, you can see the follow-up report at the end.
"The search and rescue team has found the cause of the explosion. A well-known doctor from this country had previously built a laboratory in the Pacific Ocean. It is initially determined that the explosion may have been caused by the overload of the instruments in the laboratory."
"The search and rescue team Fragments of land plants were accidentally discovered in the sea, which were as large as an ordinary football field. At the same time, many soaked corpses were found near these fragments. ”
"Japanese media reporters discovered that the two foreign doctors who built this laboratory are missing. Due to the complicated situation at the site, the actual situation can only be tentatively classified as missing."
These stories about the past The report of the explosion in the Pacific Ocean, as well as some keywords, made Li Dian even more certain that the explosion eight or nine years ago was closely related to the white dream they had experienced before.
To put it this way, the white dreams arranged by the hospital for medical treatment are the "dreams" among the three kinds of white dreams mentioned by Jiang Wenli before, and they are the kind that can affect reality.
But
Who knows whether this report appeared out of thin air after they experienced the Baimeng incident, or whether it was a report that already existed, which is the inevitable outcome.
Li Dan couldn't understand, but he couldn't figure it out. The laboratory in the real world had gone through the explosion and no longer existed in this world. It was basically impossible to find some of the clues. of.
We can’t let him wear a diving suit and go to the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean to look for these so-called clues, right?
After making a somewhat bored "tsk" sound, Li Ming turned his attention to the square piece of paper on the desk.
When he took out the pen from his pocket to fill out the questionnaire at Beize Hospital, Li Dang was slightly startled when he touched this piece of paper in his pocket.
Can it be brought from the dream world to the real world? This further shows that there is a bigger secret buried in the white dream arranged by the hospital, but now they only get scattered clues.
Opening the piece of paper, his eyes involuntarily focused on the garbled words at the end, as well as the nickname "Caesar III" on the reverse side. Li Ming had an inexplicable hunch that he wanted to Obtaining the meaning in that string of garbled characters must have an inalienable relationship with this nickname.
Julius Caesar III?
Caesar knew what it meant. He was the founder of the Roman Empire and an outstanding commander.
The Great is also an honorific title for Caesar, no, to be precise, it should be a historical title.
Then the following three generations.
Wait a minute, you should not direct your thinking in this direction. Contact the garbled codes in the previous article, and initially judge that these garbled codes composed of English letters have special meanings. , then it is the encrypted text.
Speaking of encryption, and then contacting Caesar, Li Dang thought of a simple and most well-known encryption technology, the Caesar cipher.
It is a substitution encryption technology. All letters in the plaintext are shifted backwards or forwards by a fixed number in the alphabet and then replaced with ciphertext.
It is called the Caesar cipher because this encryption method is named after Caesar during the Roman Republic, who used this method to communicate with his generals.
Generally speaking, the encryption method of Caesar cipher is to move the plaintext backward three positions, that is, change A to D and Z to C.
So the "three" in "Caesar III" is probably the offset number. It can be seen that Dr. Mitarai is not a Riddler. If he really wants to encrypt, he should choose those Complex and difficult-to-understand encryption methods.
After some comparisons, Li Ming translated all the English garbled text, which should be said to be cipher text.
The first sentence is translated as "You have to face the monsters.", which means "You must face these monsters";
The second sentence is "It's safe to be in crisis than to release them." That is, "It's safer to fall into crisis than to release them."
It turns out that the information that Dr. Mitarai wants to encrypt does not seem to be that important, so it is a little unreasonable. What is his intention to encrypt this unimportant information? Does he want to show off his extensive knowledge?
Li Dang couldn't help but sneer, and folded the white paper with the experimental records into squares again, and threw it into the drawer of his desk.
In a sense, this piece of white paper can be regarded as a commemorative item that witnessed his white dream, so a special collecting habit emerged spontaneously.
After rearranging the items on the desk, Li Dang turned on his phone again and clicked on the file that Heimu had transferred to him.
"Laboratory White Dream Summary"
"There are a total of six patients participating in this White Dream, namely Li Ming, Kurosawa Mitsuka, Fushiguro Radish, Ming An, Sakuraya Baiko, Akane Qi, except Except for the patient Akaneki who triggered the forbidden item in his dream and died, all the other patients have successfully escaped."
"Due to special reasons, the dream of this visit was fulfilled. At the end of the Honkai Impact, purifier Qian Shiratori has been dispatched to deal with it."
"The next step is to evaluate the patient's performance."
"The patients have only reached the level of exploration in the laboratory. 40% of the time, 70% of important events were triggered, and 85% of the exploration of key characters was achieved."
"Patient Li Ming and patient Mika Kurosawa have led the actions of six patients, and are hereby awarded 1,000 dream points."
"In addition to the above reward points, five patients, including Akaneki, will receive The 10,000 dream points distributed by the hospital, and due to the negligence of the hospital’s attending physician, are hereby compensated with 5,000 dream points.”
"The overall score of this white dream is B-. I hope that all patients can continue to work hard. In addition, please follow the arrangements of the attending physician regarding the time of the next visit."
Li Dao looked puzzled. , this summary is actually very well written, but he did not understand the relationship between "exploration", "important events" and "key figures".
But if you think about it carefully, they did not explore the entire laboratory in place, so it is relatively normal that important events did not trigger everything.
But——
About “key figures”?
The only people in the laboratory who can have a large enough impact are Dr. Mitarai and Onodera. Logically speaking, they have already come into contact with these two madmen, but the exploration of the key figures is still not 100%. One hundred.
What is going on?
Could it be said that there are other key figures met in the laboratory?
At this moment, Li Ming inexplicably thought of his previous speculation, that is, in the communication with Kurosawa, two people with upper-level doctors were mentioned. Could it be that this guy is also in the laboratory?
Although he was very curious, Li Dang knew that there was no way to relive the white dream of medical treatment that he had experienced now.
He originally planned to ask Dr. Kuroki on LINE whether he could experience the white dream world he had already experienced again in the next white dream of medical treatment?
But when Li Dang thought that he had no habit of actively contacting people, he gave up the idea temporarily.
But speaking of it, I have never had the opportunity to see the original summary of Bai Meng, but now it really looks like the summary after a copy of the game.
With this thought, Li Ming felt a strange feeling inexplicably, but it disappeared in an instant.
Just as I was about to pack up and prepare for the afternoon reception, there was a knock on the wooden door of the office.
"Is this Mr. Li Dang? We have a cross-border express delivery from you. Can you please come out and sign on this package?"
A new copy is about to begin. , there should also be new characters appearing, maybe. Anyway, guess what?
