Chapter 225 Lost Clues

After Lucy left, Ling Luxian began to concentrate on looking for the secret door left by Bartmos.

There was no hope for brute force cracking, as Bartmos's hacking skills were the same as his own. If he used brute force cracking, he might fall into a trap.

So, where would he leave the secret door?

Ling Luxian looked around the cyberspace in the network access warehouse, and finally his eyes fell on the letter to Spider Murphy.

If Bartmos wanted to leave the treasure, he would naturally want to leave it to his lover, so it is very likely that it was in the letter to Spider Murphy.

Ling Luxian shuffled the letters of the last love letter one by one, as if trying to spell out something else.

However, no matter how he spelled it, it was just a bunch of garbled characters. Ling Luxian pondered over the garbled characters, this won't work, if he uses the exhaustive method, how long will it take?

If it was left for Spider Murphy, Bartmos must have his own secret book. If he wants to crack the code, he must have the secret book.

At this time, Ling Luxian thought of something.

Spider Murphy's magic secret book, to be precise, is her first network access warehouse.

The origin of this network access warehouse is quite interesting. When Spider Murphy was a child, he showed amazing hacker talent.

When he was nine years old, he hacked into Zeta Technology's sales network and sent himself the most advanced network access device at the time, which was the Zeta Technology XPR.

This experience inevitably made Ling Luxian sigh. It is true that if you compare yourself with others, you will die; if you compare goods with others, you will throw them away. Lucy also showed her talent for hacking when she was a child, but she tried her best and was seriously injured by a group of "insignificant" hackers.

What about Spider Murphy? At the same age, he was able to hack into the company network. Although Zeta Technology was not very strong at that time, it was still a well-known company, and the network defense was not bad.

This shows that if you want to delve deep into the path of hacking, you have to have some talent to succeed.

After sighing, Ling Luxian's cracking work came to a standstill. If he used brute force to crack the system, he was confident that the backup plan left by Bartmos would not be able to do anything to him.

However, in this way, all the data inside would be destroyed, which Ling Luxian did not want to see. Now he could only put the cracking work on hold for the time being and wait until he found Spider Murphy's magic secret book.

Ling Luxian had no choice but to exit the Internet and think of another way. He remembered that there seemed to be a small company that cleared out this thing. Their leader wanted to destroy it, but the employees intercepted it and put it online to sell.

Let's see if there is any on the Internet first. If not, we have to contact the old lady Wakako. Although Ling Luxian looks down on Wakako, sometimes, he really has to deal with her.

As it happens, Ling Luxian is a top freelance mercenary, a figure that is sought after by the middlemen in Night City. Therefore, the two have a good relationship.

But if I ask her for help at that time, I will inevitably spend some money. Money is not a problem, but it will be troublesome if Kako insists on asking for a favor.

After Ling Luxian exited the cyberspace, he looked at Lucy and Qiwei. He didn't know what they were talking about, but the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

When Lucy saw Linglu take the baby out, she immediately stepped forward to show concern. Because of her personality, Qiwei crossed her arms and looked very proud.

Ling Luxian saw her raised little finger, which showed her true thoughts.

Lucy asked, "Is everything alright in there? What else did you find?"

"Not yet." Ling Luxian pinched his chin and said, "But judging from the total amount of data, there must be something buried in it. Since I don't know much about Scrabble, I can't figure out its path."

"What does this have to do with Scrabble?" Qiwei asked, frowning.

Since she had been outside before and had no access to the cyberspace, she didn't know the situation inside.

Judging from Ling Luxian's tone, it seems to be closely related to the love letter.

Ling Luxian said casually, "I guess it has something to do with the suicide note that Bartmos wrote to Spider Murphy. Since I'm not sure about Bartmos's skills, I gave up the idea of brute force cracking."

Qiwei nodded, "You are right, since Batmos can be called the God of Hackers, his skills must be very advanced.

If we use brute force to crack it, and if there is a rabies virus buried inside, it will be terrible. The entire cyberspace will be destroyed.”

"What should we do now? We can't just give up like this." Lucy looked at Ling Luxian with anticipation. That was the secret treasure of Bartmos. If she got it, she wouldn't have to worry about being visited by Arasaka.

"It's not that there is no solution..." Ling Luxian said thoughtfully, "Bartmos is a very conceited person. He left clues in this letter for future generations to discover his secret.

We just need to find this clue to solve the mystery.”

"But how do we find it? It's like looking for a needle in a haystack." Qiwei questioned.

"I do have an idea..." Ling Luxian's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "Since the letter is to Spider Murphy, perhaps we can start with Spider Murphy's life and maybe find some clues."

This was just an idea Ling Luxian gave them. In fact, he had long known that Spider Murphy had left behind a magic secret book. As long as they found that magic secret book, the problem would be solved.

"This is too troublesome. Even if we start with Spider Murphy, Spider Murphy was a person from fifty years ago. It is too difficult to find her information.

Besides, after so many years, even if we can find the information, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack." Qi Wei had her own plan, she was going to ask a detective for help.

The most famous detective agency today is the Dangerous Girls Agency founded by Michiko Arasaka.

That's right, the detective agency founded by Michiko Arasaka is still alive and well in 2077. And it is still far ahead of other detective agencies.

"Why don't we go find the Dangerous Girls Agency? As detectives, it must be easy for them to solve the crossword puzzle game." Qiwei suggested.

Lucy didn't know about the dangerous girl and the interests of Arasaka. She only knew that this was a long-established detective agency with very skilled detectives.

Since it has been able to stand in Night City for decades, it must be very capable. Therefore, Lucy is also eager to make a move.

If she knew that this detective agency was founded by Michiko Arasaka, she would never dare to have such an idea.

This proposal was rejected by Ling Luxian.

"Dangerous Girl was founded by Michiko Arasaka, and its core business is inseparable from Arasaka. If they knew that Bartmos's stuff was in our hands, we would be in trouble."
