Chapter 10 chapter Ten

In the middle of the twentieth century, John Lennon's momentum was in full swing. Now in the middle of the 21st century, Gotanda Masaomi has disappeared. John Lennon recorded the guitar melody and then embedded it into the song in reverse. There should be no special significance. Maybe he just thought "it seems interesting to do this".In contrast, Gotanda Masaomi imitated his method and left a tape of the recording. I am afraid that there is a reason for doing so, because he wants to keep this information anyway. "Reverse the sound source, can you really hear the reason?" Kudo asked while manipulating the mouse.

We didn't know how to make that old VCR play in reverse, so we had to press the play button first, and through the transmission line, the sound from the tape was captured to the computer hard disk.Music editing programs are readily available on the Internet, and we're going to use a computer program to invert that sound file. "If what you hear is a curse or something, then fix it." Oshikuranosuke swallowed his saliva. "If it is a new type of computer virus, it will be even worse." Kudo was even worried about this kind of thing. I thought to myself, there should be no computer virus in the world that needs to go through such a troublesome procedure to infect the computer.Soon, the reversed sound came from the computer.

It seemed to be Gotanda Masaoomi's voice, but I'm not sure. On the one hand, because it is a recorded voice, it is somewhat inferior to the original sound quality; on the other hand, this voice just keeps chanting symbols instead of speaking sentences or dialogues, and there is no distinguishing feature between the tones. The voice read English letters one after another slowly. The more I listened, the more creepy I became, and I couldn't help but get goosebumps. What exactly is this……?I was still in shock, Oishikura Nosuke reacted very quickly, had already grabbed the signature pen, and quickly copied the English letters read out onto the note paper.Kudo glanced at Oishikuranosuke with an expression of "I was thinking of doing that too".

I looked at the letters that Nosuke Oishikura copied down one by one, and finally guessed what it was.I got goosebumps again, but this time it wasn't from fear, but from the emotion of a momentous discovery. "Is this the website?" Kudo was the one who closed the mouth first, and he pouted slightly, as if he was complaining about something. "should be." What Gotanda Masaoomi read word by word was exactly the website address, which even contained symbols such as "dot" and "slash". Kudo pointed to the text on the note paper and said, "However, there are still people using LZH these days." At the end of the string of URLs is a file name with the extension ".LZH".This is the compressed file format that was popular when the Internet first became popular, but since the compression technology that can compress images or video files into smaller files has become mainstream 20 years ago, this type of compressed file has long been an obsolete format. legacy.

"As expected of Mr. Gotanda who likes to listen to old songs on tapes." Kudo said.The most incredible thing about Kudo is that no matter what he says, it sounds ironic. "Let me enter this URL to see!" Oishikuranosuke took the note paper and walked quickly to Gotanda Masaoomi's computer, and tapped the keyboard, "What kind of file is this?" Of course, Kudo and I also came behind him and stared at the screen. Through the browser, the computer starts to download the file.The file doesn't seem to be big, and it will be cut out in no time. "Do you have the courage?"

The loud voice suddenly sounded in the room, and all three of us were shocked. After a moment of panic, we realized that it was the voice of Gotanda Masaoomi who had read the website just now.The sound came from Kudo's computer, and it came from the reversed sound file.Since there was no sound for a while after reading the URL, we thought it was over. "You have heard this sentence, and you must have heard the website just now. You are so powerful that you want to get the reverse tape." This is the voice of Gotanda Masaoomi that I am familiar with. "I don't know who you are, but I should have caused you a lot of trouble, I'm really sorry." Gotanda Masaoomi said: "It doesn't work, do you have the courage to execute that file?"

"It sounds like Senior Gotanda is very happy?" Oishikura Nosuke said with a wry smile. "Does he think he is giving secret instructions to the secret agents?" Kudo also looked a little stunned. "Probably because the more you talk, the more vigorous you are without knowing it." I also echoed their views. But on the other hand, I was also surprised. "Do you have the courage" was also said by the bearded man I met a few days ago.Is this by chance?Or is it a hint of something? "Now is the time to prove whether you have the courage!" Gotanda Masaomi's tone reached the peak of excitement, "Although we have never met, I am looking forward to seeing you, so farewell!" These were his last words .

The three of us looked at each other and frowned, "Never met before? We know you very well." After decompressing the downloaded file through a special program, a program file appeared. Although there is no additional explanatory text, we can also guess that this should be a tool program for "decrypting the encrypted part of the program source code", and this The designer of the program must be Gotanda Masaoomi.Because his disappearance was caused by his attempt to decipher the encrypted part of the source code, and he took so much trouble to hide this tool program, its function is self-evident.

Moreover, this tool program is much more constructive than his previous "delete all files in the hard disk" program. "Okay, let me try to analyze the encrypted part through this program." Oshikura's tone was still serious, "Kudo has not finished the work at hand, and Watanabe-senior has to continue to contact customers, so this Just leave it to me." "Oh." Kudo responded briefly.It sounds like a willingness to agree to such a work assignment, and also a wayward resentment that interesting work has been taken away. "I'm very good at this kind of homework. Although I can't turn zero into one, as long as I have a direction, I can continue to study."

So I entrusted him with the decryption work of the encryption part, picked up my suit jacket and stood up, "I'll go back to the company, go to the business department and ask for the contact information of Gexu company." The current situation cannot be clearly explained over the phone. "Ge Xu? The exchange of e-mails is normal." The senior staff of the business department said impatiently.Since the head of the business department will not be in the company most of the time, in terms of actual work, the senior employee in front of me is the boss of the entire business department, and because of his outstanding performance and outstanding attitude, he has won He took the title of "Mr. Business". Although it only sounds like a negative nickname to me, he seems to like it quite a bit. Mr.The business officer stood up and put his whole face in front of my eyes.He should be about thirty-five years old, but with his curly hair and a designer suit, he looks like a college student who even pays great attention to grooming.

He seemed to think that I was here to find fault, but in fact, my current behavior was indeed not far from seeking fault, so his intuition was not wrong.That's why I asked tactfully: "Excuse me, I want to contact Luogexu company, what should I do?" He stood up quickly and put his whole face in front of my eyes. Although Mr. Business is dressed young, at close range, his skin is dull and his nasolabial folds are deep, revealing his age. "Watanabe, are you thinking now that this man has poor skin and many wrinkles, and is a full-fledged middle-aged uncle?" His eyes flashed fiercely. "No." I lied. "I just wanted to contact Gush. I sent an email and got no response." "It's not that the young couples are arguing. I haven't received one or two replies. What's the fuss?" "If it's a young couple quarreling, it's understandable that there is no reply, but we are at work and need to contact us urgently. Do you know the phone number of the other party?" "Don't waste your time, that company can only be contacted by e-mail. Recently, there are more and more companies like that. On the surface, it is said that contact by e-mail is to keep records of both parties, but the actual reason is that Wanting to directly face complaints from the outside world, everyone avoids direct contact with people as much as possible. Those people don’t even know how troublesome it is to contact via email.” He complained in a whimper. "I understand this, but you couldn't have accepted this case just by email, right? You should have seen the other party's window, right? Can you tell me the name and contact information of that person?" My tone was a little tough A little bit. Mr.When the business heard this, he was really angry, "Are you here to trouble the business department?" I suddenly felt a chill, looked around, and couldn't help gasping.The office space of the business department is about the same as that of a primary school classroom. Rows of desks are neatly arranged inside, and the colleagues in the business department who were sitting on the chairs all stood up, crossed their arms and stared at me, their eyes were full of hostility, with a look of thinking. It looks like I, the guy who broke into the tiger's den, was smashed into pieces. Although the engineering department and the business department are colleagues, there are many conflicts.The engineering department often suffers from unreasonable orders received by the business department, and the business department often has to bow its head and apologize to customers because of problems in the programs written by the engineering department.Benefits and quality, delivery time and sleep time can't always have the best of both worlds, so the employees of these two departments can be said to be two groups of races that can never understand each other.But at this moment, these people in front of me showed such blatant hostility towards me, which was too much. Apart from being a little surprised, I also felt angry. "You system engineers, don't always rely on our business department, you should do something on your own occasionally, right?" What is "sometimes too"?He said that as if the engineering department was always lazy and did nothing, which was quite uncomfortable to hear. "I also heard that Gotanda guy escaped? What are you doing, he's not a primary school student." He continued. "People always want to escape." I said.I don't know why, but I don't feel afraid when I face so many hostile people alone.In retrospect, I have been attacked by thugs several times in the past few days. No matter how many colleagues from the business department crossed their arms and stared at me, they are nothing compared to those vicious men.At this time, the haughty face of my friend Kotaro Isaka and the words he said flashed through my mind: "Humans are animals that get used to it. Once they get used to it, they will want to pursue greater stimulation." When I was there, I would definitely say to me: "Look, you are used to this dangerous situation." "Even Gotanda-san, of course he would want to run away. He's human after all," I continued. "What are you talking about?" Mr. seemed to have eaten a sour plum, his face wrinkled. "Any one is fine, please tell me who is the person in charge of Gexu, and I will handle the next thing myself." I sighed, looked around the entire office, and faced a group of business department colleagues with their arms crossed He said: "May I ask who is the client of Mr. Gotanda's case, the company called Gosh, who is responsible for the contact?" No hands were raised. No one answered. Mr.The business looked smug. "Now it's not elementary school students who are arguing, so there's no need to deliberately conceal information from me, right?" I paused, and added: "You guys should do something occasionally, right?" "Don't wrong people, it's not that we don't help," Mr. Business pointed to a desk by the window, "Mr. Yoshioka is in charge of the case of Gosu." There was no one at the table. I have also heard of the character Yoshioka Masuzo.He has been in the sales department for a long time, and his appearance is not very impressive. I heard that he was a very energetic salesman a long time ago, but when I entered this company, he seemed to have exhausted all his energy. For customers, the old cases cannot be renewed, which has become a big burden for their business department. "But don't look at him like that." A few years ago, Gotanda Masaomi and I went to an izakaya for a drink, and he said to me like this: "That Aji seems to hold the secret of Section Chief Kato." "What secret?" I asked. "I don't know, maybe it's a strange sexual fetish or something, maybe it's a masochist." "Masochist? Section Chief Kato is the sadist among the sadists." "That's why it's a secret." Although Gotanda Masaoomi said so, but based on my understanding of Mr. Kato, even if such a secret is exposed for that person, it may not hurt him at all. "All in all, because of this kind of secret entanglement, Aji will never be fired." Gotanda Masaomi said. Although this rumor is absurd and preposterous, I kind of believe it.Because Yoshioka Maszo has never been fired, it is simply against the common sense of the world. Seeing Yoshioka Maszo still has not left his job is like seeing an apple that is restrained by gravity but will never fall. "Didn't Mr. Yoshioka join the company?" I asked. Mr. Business said: "He is either on sick leave or special leave this month. He hasn't come to work, and he can't be reached by phone." "Does the business department only support this kind of elementary school students?" As soon as I said this, I felt a silent pressure rushing towards me, but it didn't frighten me. Without pulling my nails or breaking my fingers. Just when the office of the business department was in a tense atmosphere, the door opened suddenly, and a female employee from the general affairs department appeared at the door.She walked towards us with a cool short hair, and said in her usual cheerful, or rather frivolous, light tone: "Oh, why are everyone's expressions so serious? What's going on?" Then she handed Handed out a gift box to Mr. Business in front of me, "here, this is the special product of Palau that Gali brought over this morning. These are for the sales department, please share them!" I was shocked when I heard this . "Yukari? Ah, you mean Ms. Sakurai? She's back?" Mr.After the business received the gift box, other colleagues in the office also sat down, and the tense air immediately eased. At this time, both the person in charge of Kosuke and the name of Yoshioka Maszo disappeared from my head.I almost yelled out the words Yuka, and quickly changed my words: "Uh, has Ms. Sakurai joined the company?" I subconsciously took out my mobile phone to check on the spot. If she had been to the company, she would definitely call me, but there was no record of her phone number in the mobile phone. "She joined the company this morning. She seems to have finished her overseas trip early. Ah, Mr. Watanabe, from your expression, don't you really want to see her?" "No." I vaguely denied, but my heart was shouting "Nonsense! Of course I want to see her!" My whole heart was hanging on her safety, and I just missed asking the female staff member, "She's still alive." ?" "But Yukari seems to be resigning." The female staff still had a relaxed tone. "Huh?" I gasped. "She said she was going to get married, and her husband met someone in Palau! It's a super lightning marriage!" As expected of a frivolous female employee of the General Affairs Department, even the extremely heavy news of "my cheating partner is getting married" can be said so frivolously through her mouth.
