Chapter 54(S2)

Hotel

Gu Weicheng was sitting in the middle. Mitchell and Sam were sitting on his right and left side respectively.

"So, what were the results.." Weicheng asked.

"Well it's just that, I searched all the cameras nearby. There were indeed traces of cars near the bridge while the accident was happening.But." Mitchell paused.

"But.. What..? " Weicheng voice was colder

"It's just that, Even though we found the traces of a cars entering the bridge while the accident happened. We weren't able to find any cars passing through the bridge after that.. As if.. "Mitchell frowned.

" As if the car on the bridge disappeared." Weicheng completed the unfinished words.

"Yes." Mitchell looked at Sam and Sam understood the gesture and immediately opened his laptop and opened a folder in it.

"Here, look at this." He Zoomed a particular place. Though the video was blurry, it clearly shows a black car entering the bridge.

"Look, There is this car here. Though it's not clear and the place where the crime happened is a blind spot to this camera. We can be sure that there is indeed a car near the bridge at the moment when the so-called accident happened. And it shows that a car really entered the bridge."

The video showed a black car slowly entering the bridge.

Sam then looked at his brother and opened another video.

"But the most suspicious part is that. We weren't able to find any evidence of the car exiting the bridge." Sam said. Weichengs brows frowned.

And the second video showed the exit of the bridge. And it was clear as if somebody erased the trace of the car.

"According to my information, on that day there was some problem with the bridge and authorities said that they put banners at both sides of the bridge. But if what you said is right, there wasn't any prohibition saying the danger ahead. And most of the CCTV near the bridge were damaged on the same day. From the remaining video, it's clearly shown that your car entered the bridge. But there wasn't any other car who entered or exited the bridge according to the police." Mitchell said.

"But how can that be? Clearly from what the boss said. There should be more than one car near the scene, and because of that, I hacked all the CCTV near the place. To my surprise, someone really messed with the cctv. And the fact that I only cracked a single CCTV means the person who tempered with the CCTV is a person with much higher ability than me. And I wasn't able to find out how he erased the car from the camera. It doesn't show any tempering in the video that I cracked." Sam said in frustration.

How could he not be frustrated? He was the no.1 hacker in the country, even in the whole world he is in the top 3. There was nothing he couldn't crack. But for the first time in his life, he faced an opponent who was very difficult for him to crack. And even after spending all his time he was only able to crack a tip of the iceberg. He was so frustrated and excited at the same time.

"He was extremely cunning. The code he used was extremely advanced. If it wasn't for me, I am sure no one would have been able to crack this CCTV scene too…" Sam said. Though it sounded narcissistic, two people present in the room knew that what he said was true.

"But… " Sam paused as if he should continue or not. Weicheng looked at him

"What…." He asked.

"I don't know, what I am about to say may sound stupid. But it's just.." He once again stopped.

"Just say whatever you want.." Mitchell was getting impatient with his brother.

"I felt that the person who hacked the CCTV isn't a human..?" Sam said in one breath.

"What…?" Mitchell looked at his brother as if he was looking at a retard.

"Are you saying, the one who hacked the CCTV was some kind of supernatural spirit or what.? " Sarcasm filled his voice.

"Well…" Sam was embarrassed, though Mitchell didn't take what Sam said seriously, the person sitting in the middle frowned more and more.

"Why did you say so..?" Weichengs question not only surprised Mitchell but Sam was also astonished. Because he himself felt what he said was nonsense. Even though he was reluctant, Sam because of his deep respect towards his boss didn't dare to hide anything and said.

"Well. Boss, I don't know, I may sound stupid. Usually I play with many different kinds of hackers and computer geniuses. And they all have one thing in common that has distinct characteristics. Even though we usually have a constant pattern in our way of coding, every time we code it can never be the same. The more we code the more we learn and the more our way of coding improves. It won't be that clear in the beginning but if you're a keen person who knows coding deeply we can easily distinguish the familiarity and differences in the way of coding. The familiarity allows us to find if the same person hacked a system multiple times and the differences in coding allows us to understand the improvement of the hacker. But here there is something different about the way this person codes." Sam looked at his brother.

Though Mitchell didn't believe in superstition, what he is sure of is the knowledge his younger brother has in the world of computers. So hearing the way Sam spoke he was sure that it wasn't him joking. So he asked Curiously.

"What differences?"

"Well, just like I said, each time we code it's familiar yet different. But This person's way of coding is always the same." Sam said.

"So what. If a person is extremely good at coding. Every time he can code the same way,right?." Mitchell asked.

"No." Sam said immediately.

"However a person tries, if you are a human, it's your natural instinct to improve yourself every time we do something. The more we does a job the more we can improve in it. So each time we try, even if we don't want to, we will show slight improvement in the things we do. That's how a human is. But the code written by this person is extremely similar. Only one thing can do something repeatedly without changing a single code and give consistent results." Sam looked at Weicheng an said slowly

"A computer more specifically an AI" He said

Weicheng shook the wine glass in his hand. He looked at the blood red wine in it and suddenly paused.

"Are you referring to Artificial Intelligence?" Mitchell asked.

"Yes.." Sam nodded his head.

"The biggest advantage and disadvantage a AI has is that they can complete a single command repeatedly without making any changes in the code as if they are copy-pasting it. For example, if I ask an AI to erase data, they can do it multiple times, without changing the codes in the slightest. That's how I felt when I was cracking the CCTV camera. Each time that person used the same codes as if he copy pasted it to erase the data in it." Sam scratched his head in frustration.

"If it's like that, isn't it easy for you to crack other CCTV cameras like the previous one?" Mitchell asked in confusion.

"And that is the trickiest problem here. When I cracked one CCTV, all the codes suddenly changed for the other CCTV. And all the codes used for erasing the data in the cctv changed together and are the same but different from the first code I cracked to get this video."Sam said.

"What..? How can it be possible..? " Mitchell frowned

"Yes, with the current technology development it's impossible to do so. And the most scary part is that all the codes this person used are completely different from what the current technology can develop. No, all the codes are three or four centuries ahead of us." Sam said.

"That's why, I said this isn't done by a human.? " His voice was as if he was too sure about his assumptions.

"How can a human code in such a way that ain't exist and is centuries advanced compared to the current technological development."

"But what terrifies me the most is, in the current technology, no AI can do something like this and if it can then with this much power, it's an enemy who is much more difficult to deal with than we thought." Sam said.

Weicheng who heard all the conversation closed his eyes. His face looked extremely calm, which not only scared Sam it also made Mitchell feel restless.

In Weichengs mind, he repeated all the things that happened inside the novel. From his memory there wasn't anyone this powerful mentioned in the novel. So that means, this is also a hidden content in the novel. His intuition told him that something is missing. It's something which is close to him and yet far away. And his reasons tell him that the 'thing' that tampered with the CCTV has a close connection to transmigration. But how..?

His eyes darkened

Mitchell looked at Weicheng.

"I don't fully trust what Sam said. And it's just his assumption. But, if there really is a person who is as intelligent as an AI is with the enemy it's going to be difficult for us to crack it down."

His voice was hard.

"So should I continue to crack the code. Maybe I can find that person." Sam said.

"No need." Weicheng stood up.

Mitchell and Sam looked at Weicheng at the same time.

"Why..? " It was Mitchell who asked.

"If a person, who has this type of ability tried this hard to get rid of me, do you think they will sit still once they find out that i am alive." Weicheng looked at Mitchell and smirked.

Sam once again felt that he was standing naked on Everest.

"If what Sam said is true. I don't think we need to search for them. I think soon enough that person himself will appear in front of me." Weicheng said with a smile which didn't reach his eyes.

Even though Weicheng said it as if it was a joke, it alerted Mitchell. He clearly understood Weicheng. His boss is trying to be a big bait to lure that Shark out. So, he also has to make necessary preparations for treating the guest.

The atmosphere was extremely dark. Then Suddenly,

"Bye the way, where is David?" The smirk on Weicheng Face disappeared. He looked at Mitchell and asked.

"I really want to "thank" him for 'helping' my brother.." he said with a sweet smile that scared the soul out of Sam.

Suddenly the gloomy atmosphere changed and a playful smile appeared on Mitchells face.

... … ..

At the same time

Country M Airport

A person walked elegantly towards the car. He looks sharp and cold yet handsome. His majestic yet evil aura filled the surrounding. Nobody wanted to be near him but was attracted to him. As he walked near the car, one of the body guards guarding the car opened the door for him.

He walked slowly towards the car. But instead of sitting inside, he gave way to the person behind.

"Get in." His voice was cold yet gentle.

Behind him, an extremely beautiful omega with a white hair and pale skin smiled sweetly. His innocent face was fascinating and can make any man want to protect him. The bodyguard just glanced at him and suddenly his heart began to beat fast.

'How can someone be this beautiful.' He thought

The omega smiled at the handsome man and slowly entered the car.

As he entered the car. The smile on his face disappeared. He looked in front of him. A cruel light flashed through his eyes.

He looked emotionlessly at the air. If the bodyguard saw his current appearance, he won't dare to look again.

The white haired omega looked in his front. Suddenly a screen appeared in front of him.

[Mission progress:45%]

[Probability of failure:75%]

He looked at the letters and numbers in front of him.

'Da*n it'

Suddenly the handsome guy entered the car. The white haired omega changed his expression immediately as if the previous look was an illusion.

"Are you alright?" The man asked. The omega nodded his head.

"Master, should I go to the villa. " The driver asked.

The man immediately turned cold and said,

"No…..Go to Lee mansion."

The driver paused but didn't question.

"As you wish, Young Master." driver replied

The car slowly began to move and slowly exited the Airport with two other cars escorting it.

Next chapter

David looked at Weicheng and then at Mitchell.

Weicheng's face was extremely gloomy.

"So, you really have a death wish." He said

David looked at Mitchell and saw his smirk and he immediately understood.

"I fu**ed up."
