places I’ve never been
Cheongdam City Soft Headquarters.
When Seungho arrived at the central control room, the head of the control room approached him.
“There are currently no further hacking attempts. They seem to think they succeeded in hacking by hijacking the bait server.”
“What about the other damage on our side?”
“Including personal information, all services such as One Coin, One Search, and One Talk are in service without any problems.”
At that, Seungho looked up and looked at the situation board.
-Overall Status: Green.
If there is more than one, orange instead of green appears. This meant that the report of the team leader was true. In this way, Seungho did not stop at receiving a report, but was a temperament that had to be confirmed with both eyes to unlock his character.
“Thank you.”
“no. The staff are very hard working. But have you been tracked?”
“I’ve been through too many servers. To fully trace it, I have to hack into an ISP in another country. Stopped in China.”
Seungho rubbed his mouth in disappointment.
‘I can’t. If you hacked your ISP, you could end up in a more embarrassing situation and lose.’
It was possible to hack after obtaining permission with the cooperation of the CIA or China, but it was not possible to hack randomly within the company.
“I understand for now. As soon as the situation is updated, please report it.”
After giving the instructions, Seungho went up to his office.
‘How did you hack it? Did someone really come out better than the Black Watch?’
Seungho, unable to hide his worries, wiped his face. It was because if the guy was better than him, there could be problems with the company.
‘Well, if I copied the contents of the bait server, his computer would be shattered. Then we’ll know where it’s spread.’
ONE is the core system of Sinaisoft. That’s why he took the trouble of making a bait server. Also, there was a hidden patch made by Seungho. A hidden patch that no one knows about. If that works, they’ll have to face the worst.
‘Dare you covet ONE?’
Just as Eve, who coveted the forbidden fruit, committed original sin and was expelled from Eden, those who coveted ONE will be cast out of the earth. ’cause you’re gonna make it
‘If you know where the calls are coming from… you’ll know who led the hack.’
Seungho waited for the call with a firm expression on his face. Only you can solve the hidden patch. But no one can find any evidence that he made it himself.

China Geunjeongjeon
Haoran listened to Wangfang’s report with a bright expression.
“If you look at the data from the current bait server, there are 12 existing algorithms used in ONE. There are eight algorithms that have not been published in academia. And there are 4 modified forms of the existing algorithm. A total of 24 algorithms are being identified as organically interlocking.”
“Propagate this to the experts immediately and tell them to start building artificial intelligence.”
“Haha, yes. We have already spread the relevant information before it even came in.”
“Well done. It was really hard work.”
Wang Fang’s expression was also extremely bright.
“Now, China will also rise as an artificial intelligence powerhouse. Now that we’ve caught up with the 10-year gap, all we have left to do is fill the gap.”
Haoran nodded and said.
“Black Watch. Did he come in and hacked?”
“Yes. He’s a really great guy. You can do that in three days.”
“Is there any way to scout for us?”
“Even in the United States, it seems that the matter was treated as top secret. Even obtaining relevant information is difficult. He is the only person who can stand up to Kang.”
Haoran has lost his appetite.
“That’s unfortunate.”
“Yes. We are in contact from various angles, but success cannot be guaranteed.”
“If you’re that talented, maybe Blackwatch has created ransomware so far?”
Wangfang nodded heavily.
“Yes. He is denying that he is not, but such opinions are coming out from within.”
“Hmm······.”
“It’s hard to believe that he’s been hacking in the shadows regardless of country.”
“Well, anyway, I’m glad I got this job done.”
“Haha, yes.”
While the two were holding a toast like that, Wang Fang’s cell phone rang. Wang Fang’s expression changed every moment when he received the call.
“okay? Did the computer that was running the analysis crash? Why all of a sudden?”
“You just stopped analyzing with it.”
“Is it okay if I replaced it with another computer?”
“What do you mean? Please explain so I can understand.”
“Is it Black Watch’s work? America reverses…”
Wang Fang, who was having a conversation, hung up the phone with a serious expression. Haoran felt a cold sweat run down his back.
“Why, what’s going on?”
“It is said that the computer that was analyzing the data from the bait server has stopped.”
Memories of the past flashed through Haoran’s mind. He shouted out with that ominous feeling.
“Isn’t it a virus?”
“Oh, it’s not like that yet. Other computers running the analysis say they are fine.”
At that, Haoran sighed in relief.
“Hey, watch closely. thoroughly. If it goes wrong this time, it’s really over. okay?”
Wangfang nodded heavily. He knows it all too well. One ransomware cut half of China’s growth. If the same thing happens one more time, it could be 0% growth. Taking inflation into account, it is negative growth. Wang Fang, who was watching his eyes, said cautiously.
“but······.”
“Just what. Tell me. There should be no doubt about it.”
“After analyzing the broken computer, I suspect that it may be the Black Watch’s work. There is an opinion that it did not spread the virus, but failed during infiltration and did this to erase the traces.”
“A Black Watch?”
“Yes.”
“Then what do you do without investigating now?”
“I wonder if the relationship with the United States is…”
“Can’t you tell me not to?”
Wangfang made a perplexed expression.
“It seems difficult.”
Haoran let out a long sigh.
“ha······.”
There’s nothing the hell is going on How did Chinese science and technology get here? I thought about it, but there was no answer.
“First, let’s see who we can investigate.”
“Okay. And if there is any update related to it, please report it immediately. China’s fate depends on it.”
“all right.”
Wang Fang nodded and retreated to get things done. Haoran, with a stiff expression on his face, pulled out a cigar from the drawer and asked. White smoke billowed out. It was then that I felt a bit of a calming feeling in my frustrated heart.

NSA headquarters in Fort Mead, Maryland, USA.
James, who boasts outstanding skills among the NSA computerized agents, visited the team leader with a firm expression.
“manager.”
The manager looked away, pretending not to know.
“manager. Did you hear the story?”
The team leader, who pretended not to know, finally took a deep breath and opened his mouth.
“Did you hear me?”
“It’s not possible.”
“what.”
“The Washington Project. It will fail.”
Washington Project.
It is a project to release Black Watch and hack Sinai software in cooperation with China. James is a talented person who can even be used in North Korean nuclear operations and is a confidential person. In the end, the relevant content entered his ears as well.
“It has already been successful.”
“So. That has failed.”
“what?”
“It’s most likely a bait server.”
At those words, the captain’s expression hardened. The team leader clenched his fists.
“Did you tell CEO Kang by any chance?”
“Haha, are you doubting me now? A temple that has been dedicated to the NSA for 10 years already?”
“if not. What the hell does that mean?”
“The team leader doesn’t know because he doesn’t work directly with CEO Kang. How meticulous he is, how close to perfection he is.”
The leader rubbed his chin and fell into thought. James spoke quickly.
“The NSA also operates a bait server in case of hacking. But why don’t you think that Sinaisoft would run such a server?”
The team leader swallowed dry saliva. If that’s true, everything you’ve done so far will be in vain. However, the team leader could not make a rational decision.
“It’s a report that has already reached VIP status. There is no failure.”
“Yes?”
“And you return the permit and wait. Now that I know this, I might contact Sinaisoft.”
James let out a ridiculous laugh.
“No, now what nonsense…”
“It’s an order.”
That moment.
An emergency bell rang in the center.
– Weighing.
– Weighing.
– Weighing.
– Suspected internal infection. All employees running antivirus.
– Suspected internal infection. All employees running antivirus.
The manager couldn’t hide his embarrassment.
“No, all of a sudden, what is this? Doesn’t that mean security has been breached?”
It was the same with James.
“The NSA has never been breached before.
Moment.
The same thought popped into their heads.
“China.”
“Maybe China…”
He said he was cooperating with China. The United States and China have already crossed a river of no return when viewed only in cyberspace. They were fighting so fiercely. What if China changed its mind during cooperation?
It was understandable enough. James asked again.
“Are you really returning the permit?”
In this situation, it is impossible to exclude James, who has the best skills in the NSA. The manager shook his head impatiently.
“Go and work. hurry!”
However, the siren soon subsided. While the two were bewildered, an employee entered the team leader’s office.
“It looks like the alarm is malfunctioning. A full system check revealed no issues.”
asked James.
“Anywhere?”
“Yes. but······.”
This time the manager asked.
“Just what.”
The staff looked at them, but did not speak. The manager nodded and said.
“It has already been shared. You can tell me.”
Only then did the staff open their mouths with peace of mind.
“One of the PCs involved in the Washington project went down suddenly.”
“what?”
“Fortunately, after replacing the PC, the problem went away. This siren has sounded because of that.”
Upon hearing that, James’ face turned white.
“right now. The entire system must be shut down.”
“what? What nonsense.”
“China.”
“China?”
“Ransomware Black from China. Do you remember the initial symptoms?”
Then, the team leader’s face gradually turned white. James spoke quickly.
“Of course not, but if my prediction is correct…”
The manager got up from his seat and said.
“Shut down immediately and conduct a re-inspection!”
The employee quickly left the team leader’s office. James followed suit. Please pray that your prediction is wrong.
