Chapter 805 Play one more time?
At the end of the last string of green codes should be the percentage of the search progress.
According to Hiroki Sawada, this is a software that captures "green signals" in public servers.
As long as the progress reaches 100%, it should be fine.
The next thing is to wait.
Qin Zhibo thought it would take a long time to search for an unusual signal in the huge public server.
But in just a cup of coffee, the progress bar has reached 48%, which is faster than the progress of a full-scale antivirus.
But just when Qin Zhibo thought he would find the "green signal" smoothly, he didn't expect what happened next at all.
At the moment when 48% jumps to 49%, the code suddenly prompts an error.
Deleting progress: ERROR!
WARNING: SYSTEM FALLURE!
"Warning, system failed"
Qin Zhibo stared at the English on the screen and muttered.
The code is completely stuck on this line, no matter how Qin Zhibo presses Esc and Enter, it will not help.
Is this over?
No wonder Itakura Taku said that the software is not finished.
For this result, Qin Zhibo had already had a psychological expectation, so there was nothing to be depressed about at this time, he could only press and hold the power button to turn it off, and then went back to the office.
But just when Qin Zhibo was about to press the power button, another white system prompt box popped up, appearing in the middle of the black and green code page.
There are some complex numbers and garbled codes on it, which may have some meaning, but it requires at least level 4 computer use to understand.
Moreover, the prompt box stayed for a second, and the laptop screen suddenly dimmed, losing all the images.
Automatic shutdown?
When Qin Zhibo was wondering, a line of words slowly appeared in the middle of the screen.
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn
With the appearance of these strange characters, some kind of raving voice, which may be human, came from the computer speaker, seeming to be reciting these obscure words.
This sound is mixed with heavy breathing and electronic noise when the signal reception is not good, which is very strange.
After the bastard-like voice finished reciting the long series of indescribable sentences, the voice of the deep sea came from the computer again.
Although it may not be in the same time and space, Qin Zhibo can still feel the black and cold sea water rippling by his ears from the rumbling voice.
The majestic sea water as thick as the Pacific Ocean, at this moment, seemed to be pouring into Qin Zhibo's brain like the sound of magic.
Qin Zhibo had experienced this feeling of "water in his head".
It's just that at this moment, he forgot when the experience was.
Fortunately, Qin Zhibo has already filled the [Bottled Fear] with seawater from the Pacific Ocean, and his own resistance to seawater is relatively high.
Qin Zhibo: Will -5
Suddenly, countless green light spots flickered on the screen again, as if the screen was dead and blurred, piecing together a strange pattern.
It was faintly visible, as if it was an octopus, its weird tentacles seemed to be twitching with the flickering of the screen, and green flames were constantly blooming around it.
Qin Zhibo had seen this scene before, and it was what Hiroki Sawada showed himself in the game space of "Cocoon".
It's just that the pattern shown by Hiroki Sawada is just a pattern, it's a gif animation intercepted by Hiroki Sawada. Although it's weird, it has no other effect.
And this pattern, as if possessing some kind of magical power, is a distorted dream, a projection of hatred.
That disgusting green line makes people want to believe that the green on the screen has vitality.
At this moment, Qin Zhibo felt countless green lights blooming in front of his eyes.
These green lights have transcended the computer screen, and are projected directly in front of them.
Among the countless clusters of green light, a cosmic rift that looks like a black hole but is actually a "green hole" appears in front of you.
Endless stars shuttle in front of the eyes, and the subtle vibrations in the etheric space seem to be visible to the naked eye.
Qin Zhibo felt as if he had grown fleshy wings, flying over countless galaxies, and passing by planets that humans have not yet discovered.
And somewhere in a deep universe, something seems to be awakening.
Some kind of existence that has been dormant for countless years.
When the stars are in the right place, He will be awakened from the eternal mansion, R'lyeh.
while in the real world
Qin Zhibo stared at the inexplicably twitching tentacles, and frantically pressed the Esc key in the upper left corner with his left hand.
This is the only way to escape from bondage.
Qin Zhibo already felt that he couldn't take his eyes off. A strong sense of disgust and sacredness existed at the same time, as if two powerful spirits were torn apart in his body.
Qin Zhibo: Will -25
click, click, click
At this moment, Qin Zhibo's hand speed, which has been single for decades, exploded to the extreme, and the speed of connecting dots on the keyboard is the embodiment of his will to survive.
Reason told him that something powerful was coming along the network cable!
At this moment, the computer screen suddenly went out.
Everything just now disappeared, the weird patterns, the hateful lines, and the green firelight.
has it ended?
Esc Dafa succeeded?
Qin Zhibo was stunned, and after recovering for a while, he checked briefly, only to find that the laptop was out of battery.
The few screens just now were displayed for only 1 minute, consuming 40% of the computer's power.
But fortunately, those patterns consume a lot of power, so I was able to get away.
Qin Zhibo supported his forehead, his collapsed body lay on the blanket, sweat dripped down his neck.
The complex picture I saw just now flashed in my mind,
Obelisks full of twisted green stripes, huge and dizzying city of megaliths, stone statues that are half man, half octopus.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhibo's eyes suddenly widened.
Isn't that stone statue the "foreign Bodhisattva"?
Qin Zhibo suddenly remembered that he met Akubetsu, the son of the famous sculptor, in the murder case of an antique collector a long time ago, not too long ago.
His father once suffered from madness after the earthquake in 1980. While the disease was not cured, he created a sculpture called "Sleeping Poseidon".
And this work is not irrelevant to the phantom I saw just now, it can only be said to be exactly the same.
"They are the same"
"'Poseidon' is Cthulhu"
"Cthulhu"
Qin Zhibo said these words like a dementia.
As soon as the voice fell, the system beeped.
[Congratulations, you have obtained 2000 mysterious knowledge skill proficiency! 】
The system prompt appeared so abruptly that Qin Zhibo was dazed for a moment before he gradually accepted it.
2000 proficiency in secret knowledge skills, although it seems a lot, but Qin Zhibo's skill has reached level 4, and 8000 proficiency is needed to upgrade.
With this 2000 proficiency, it is still not enough to upgrade.
But this side shows that this information is very valuable.
In the past, occult knowledge gave a few hundred proficiency, but this one gave 2000.
"The stone statue of the foreign Bodhisattva is Cthulhu"
"The house of eternity, where the stars return."
Qin Zhibo feels that the 2000 proficiency may be the summary value of the information contained in the illusion.
It's just that Qin Zhibo's brain is still in a mess when it comes to sorting out the information, and he can't figure out his train of thought.
But the key now is not these, but the purpose of the black organization and how to save Sawada Hiroki.
First of all, the purpose of black organizations is more intriguing.
Although Takumi Itakura had invented the software before, he may have been bewitched by someone, and he didn't know the harm in it at first.
After realizing the danger, it is too late to quit.
If this software is widely spread on the Internet, the consequences will be disastrous.
Qin Zhibo alone lost a total of 30 will points.
An ordinary person's 50 will, minus 30 will, is already somewhat insane.
If it is Mao Lilan and Ma Chengshi who are weak-minded, they should be directly insane.
As for Takuo Itakura's willpower, it should already be very high compared to ordinary people. After developing software for such a long time, it is just a serious heart disease and his brain is still clear.
The software itself is very dangerous, so it can't be leaked out. Itakura Zhuo should think so.
What Qin Zhibo cared about was that the woman from the black organization answered Itakura Zhuo with such a sentence.
Fight against the torrent of time and revive the sleepers.
Does it mean to revive Cthulhu?
Qin Zhibo subconsciously rubbed his temples on both sides, but still couldn't understand.
According to some dark secrets I felt from the illusion, Cthulhu's recovery seems to be related to the astronomical phenomenon of "the return of the stars".
However, from the current point of view, the black organization does not seem to be involved in the aerospace business.
Drugs and software are the two main research and development forces that black organizations can see at present, and it is difficult to associate them with the "return of the stars".
In other words, the astronomical phenomenon itself cannot be controlled by manpower, and can only wait for it to happen.
Speaking of waiting, Qin Zhibo thought of the boss of the Brotherhood of the Beast again, hoping to wait for the comet of Halley, which returns once every 1 years, to use the stone of life—Pandora, to achieve immortality.
This is related to astronomical phenomena, but there is no mention of "stars returning to their original position", because only one star returns to its original position.
Still unable to figure out the purpose of the organization, Qin Zhibo could only turn his thinking to the main task at hand, saving Sawada Hiroki.
This task required the use of Taku Itakura's software.Judging from the current use effect, the software is indeed not complete.
The function of the software designed by Itakura Takumi is to capture packets, but the current function is only to search for green signals, which is considered incomplete.
But for Qin Zhibo, this is enough.
Referring to the situation in the "cocoon" game, the green signal can be visualized in the game that connects the human brain consciousness.
In other words, I only need to use the software to search for the green signal first.
Then connect the software to a completely virtual game, and you can re-enter the consciousness space where Hiroki Sawada was taken away.
completely virtual game
Qin Zhibo thought for a while. The only completely virtual game currently on the market is actually the one that started it—Cocoon.
Syndora is facing bankruptcy due to the three major crises of the death of the chairman, the collapse of market reputation, and the inability to return R&D funds.
In this situation where all parties have to liquidate bad debts and the inside and outside are extremely chaotic, the "cocoon" game console may not have been completely destroyed.
Maybe I can play "cocoon" again.
But where is the "cocoon" now?
Qin Zhibo thought for a while, and suddenly thought of a person who might know the inside information.
Now that there are some possible clues, without further delay, Qin Zhibo roughly opened the CD drive and put the CD back into his pocket.
As for the laptop that was out of battery, Qin Zhibo glanced at it in disgust, and threw it directly into the trash can.
In this way, the lifespan of the top laptops on the market is less than one day.
Back at the office, Qin Zhibo called the person who might know the inside information.
"Yuanzi? I'm Qin Zhibo."
Qin Zhibo said what he wanted to ask.
Sonoko wasn't on guard either, after all, he was the man who had been kind to him and the Suzuki family many times.
If Qin Zhibo hadn't shut down the game, the Suzuki consortium, one of the important investors of the "Cocoon" project, would have lost a lot of prestige.
So Yuanzi directly told Qin Zhibo the inside story of this matter.
It turned out that after that incident, the Suzuki Consortium started negotiations with Syndora Corporation.
Although the failure of the product to go on the market is a normal risk of investment, the Suzuki consortium should share the losses with Syndora.
But the problem is that the products of the invested projects have already been put into production, and the relevant technologies are relatively complete.
The Suzuki consortium is not an idiot. Naturally, they want to obtain these equipment and technologies. Even if they cannot be listed and sold for money, they can try their best to recover some losses as a technical reserve.
However, this proposal was rejected by representatives of the US government on the grounds that this core technology cannot be exported to other countries.
At the end of the negotiation, both sides took a step back.
Suzuki can keep the equipment and some technologies, but it must wait 20 years after the equipment equipped with this technology is re-launched by a local American company before releasing equipment products with related technologies.
Exactly one patent protection period.
Due to its status as an investor, the Suzuki consortium can retain major technologies, but it also needs to take care of the interests of local American companies.
Suzuki's side was a bit aggrieved in this negotiation, but there was no other way. The other side had the backing of the U.S. government, which was already the greatest benefit that could be won.
This is not the worst, the worst is the bank of the Jiangzhe Chaebol in Japan.
Jiang Zhe's family has always been investing, without market resources, it is not suitable to directly intervene in various businesses. In addition, the share of this investment is very small, so it is useless to ask for a little technology.
If you want some monetary compensation, the other party doesn't care about them at all.
The reason for this is simple. The business scope of the Suzuki Consortium has long since gone beyond Japan and spread to the whole world. Even the United States has many important investment and industrial projects. The negotiating parties should be more or less afraid of this influence.
As for the chaebol of Jiang Zhe's family, he is a banker after all, and he made his fortune by plundering the people's fat and oil from the Japanese. Of course, the Americans don't care.
In the end, the Suzuki family, who took the technology and equipment, made a small compensation, and the Jiang Zhe family, who didn't get any other shit, paid a full compensation except for letting the grandson play a game of life and death.
"Mr. Qin, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Qin Zhibo got straight to the point and expressed his thoughts, "I am still very interested in the game that day. If possible, I would like to play it again."
Hearing this, Sonoko couldn't help frowning.
Play it again. Am I right?
"Well, yes, it's possible, but our engineers from the Suzuki Consortium are dismantling and researching the messy things inside, and it will take some time to fully understand."
"How long will it take? It should be done before next week, right?" Qin Zhibo asked quickly.
Sonoko thought about it for a moment, and then showed a confident smile that belonged to the daughter of the consortium.
"Since Mr. Qin has spoken, it must be possible!"
