Shincon’s One Coin Clear

Episode 124. Truth (4)

“Can you hear me?”

It was Korean with a thick Western accent.

“How are you?”

-what?

Taeyang opened his eyes wide and manipulated the broadcasting interface.

“What is this.”

I didn’t even operate it separately, but Taeyang’s broadcasting channel was turned off.

“Hyeon-hye?”

– Oh, I’m glad. Wired connections are alive.

The offline chat window connected to Hyun-hye seemed to be alive.

At the same time as confirming that the connection with the outside world had not been completely cut off, the voice of a stranger rang in Taeyang’s ears.

– I ask for your understanding. The channel was down for a while. Just your streaming. I got some cooperation from the company.

Curly pronunciation that appears when foreigners speak Korean.

The sun raised one eyebrow and asked.

“who are you?”

-This is Federal Bureau of Investigation Senior Investigator John Edgar Hope. Feel free to call me John.

what bullshit is this

-for a moment. I can’t believe that FBI in the sponsorship window… … .

-yes. That’s me.

The sun opened its mouth involuntarily.

“The FBI? Then that sponsorship isn’t just a simple aggro… … .”

-yes. we sent

Every story I hear these days has no sense of reality.

No FBI all of a sudden? why? What am I so important to?

‘No, it’s not important.’

The lives of 300 million people were put on hold, and some actually died.

Regardless of whether it’s the FBI, the CSI, or the Chinese public security, they’re probably running around to save those trapped in capsules.

In the meantime, Taeyang is a human who shows a bud enough to clear this game called Dantalian in his own way.

In other words, it could be a more important person than you thought.

Then the question soared.

‘Is this person really an FBI investigator?’

The credibility seemed pretty good.

If not the real FBI, how could this be done?

Even the headquarters of the streaming site platform that Taeyang uses is in the United States, so this kind of thing could not be done unless it was really the FBI.

However, Hyun-hye seemed to have a different idea.

-Taeyang, isn’t this a hack?

“Is that so?”

Come to think of it, that side is more convincing.

At first, it started with the gaze of a madman, but now Taeyang’s channel is the channel watched by the largest number of people in the world at the same time.

The fact that I haven’t been hacked in this long time is even more ridiculous.

At that time, an American who identified himself as John Edgar Hope retorted with his characteristic slurred pronunciation.

– It’s not hacking. As you may not know, your channel is getting a lot of hacking attempts. If it wasn’t for the firewall we built, we would have been able to play the game, but we wouldn’t have been able to broadcast.

The sun didn’t bother to answer.

If you think about it, this situation is no different from a man named Lee John hacking Taeyang’s broadcasting channel.

– Even at this moment, you have no idea how many offensives are coming and going.

“yes. Iknow, right. You are the first time this has happened since I started broadcasting.”

The sun’s expression was grim.

A war between the FBI and hackers set in cyberspace.

It’s grandiose, but it’s not something you can see with your own eyes, so there’s no way you can really feel it.

-… … Would you believe me if I went to Mr. Yoon’s residence?

– Oh, that’s not good. I couldn’t put on makeup today.

Hyeon-hye, who had been staring at the monitor without washing her hair for several days, reflexively refused.

“Hey, when did you talk like you did?”

– Did you?

“Everyone knows you don’t wash when you have nothing to do with others, right?”

-Can we not arrest John for spreading false information?

Punctuation as usual.

However, Taeyang knew it, and Hyunhye also knew it.

The two were just chatting casually to relieve tension.

-… … You are close. Miss Zhu? You haven’t forgotten that we’ve already spent a lot of time in vain, right?

Jijik.

Along with the noise, the white man’s voice was modulated into a mechanical sound.

– I was afraid that the two of you wouldn’t believe me, so I used upbringing. From now on, we will use the translation system for smooth communication.

Along with John’s words, a picture was uploaded where the sponsorship window should have appeared.

It was a picture of what appeared to be a CCTV room, but more than half of the cameras were jammed.

-Some of the case files during the Dantalian Incident. And this building is the villa where CEO Kevin Dunnett lived at the time.

“Wait wait wait!”

Taeyang raised a hand to stop John from speaking.

-What is it?

“Suppose you are the FBI. Uh, and now I can’t believe they approached me like this to help me.”

-yes.

“That’s the FBI. So are you saying that the US government has no access to the Dantalian incident at all? To the point where you have to rely on me, who is only connected to the game?”

It’s a sensitive story.

To the extent that it can hurt the listener’s self-esteem.

But the sun had to know.

FBI. And the activities of other national governments were another possibility for Byeolrim to survive.

“Did the outside really come up with no solution?”

momentary silence.

A cold, modulated voice immediately answered.

-After I don’t have time, I’ll briefly explain. We, the FBI, took over Dantalian’s headquarters shortly after the incident. And what scene do you think we saw?

Clearing his throat, John continued.

-The server main computer at Dantalian Headquarters was down.

“what?”

-I beg your pardon?

-Not just the main computer. All the computers serving the server were powered off.

no, what kind of bullshit is this?

“The computer responsible for the server is turned off? So what am I now? Is the game still running?”

-Is that theoretically possible?

Even though they were both ignorant of computer science, they knew how absurd John was saying.

– There were no signs of damage from the outside. But one thing was noteworthy. After disassembling the computer responsible for the server and checking the fatigue of the internal circuitry, it was found that the computer had been in operation for well over a year.

That is theoretically impossible.

Ron continued.

Stuff like IP backtracking based on players’ capsules.

If I could reduce that lengthy statement to two lines, it would be this.

I have no idea how the game Dantalian works.

I don’t even know what the capsules users access are connected to.

It was, so to speak, a lengthy declaration of defeat.

– These days, we feel like a caveman encountering fire for the first time.

What was it like for primitive man to see fire for the first time?

Although not precise, their reactions will fall into three categories.

Run away, worship, or put your hand in and get hurt.

Until people discovered that sand or water could be used to extinguish fire, humans had nothing to do with it.

-we. We’re not just talking about the FBI or the US federal government. Russia USA Korea and Europe. all the way to North Korea. All of humanity is powerless in the face of the Dantalian Avalanche.

-that… … .

– So we, the United States, called the leaders of the world. The United States admitted that it could not solve the situation on its own.

-ah. I’ve heard of it.

This was before the sun connected to Dantalian.

Several world summits have been held on the agenda of the Dantalian crisis.

-But I heard that it spread to a battle of pride between countries, and no one came up with the right to investigate first, and it eventually fizzled out.

-no. The reality was otherwise. It’s just that I couldn’t announce it to the public.

Thanks to an unknown external enemy, the leaders of mankind have joined forces.

and shared information.

Transcendental traces that cannot be explained by modern science have already been left everywhere.

In particular, it focuses on the group murder and kidnapping of Dantalian production company executives.

-The phenomenon of psychokinesis, in which things move by themselves, was common, and other ridiculous evidence came out, so you don’t know how hard the detectives were. But the surprising thing is that all of that evidence makes sense if you consider that ‘Dantalian’s character’ did it.

Tidding.

Photos appeared in what should have been a sponsorship window originally.

-Shanghai. Rio de Janeiro Hawaii New York. This is where the particularly clear and convincing evidence came from.

“Shanghai. Is the FBI also active in China?”

– I do activities. informally. They are not cooperating with our investigation, but this data was sent by China. It’s an achievement from the World Summit.

“Then this is not entirely the work of the US FBI… … .”

-That’s right. I’m here to help you as a member of the FBI, but this is a matter decided at the World Summit.

The sun frowned.

“Damn, I know you’re busy right now, but can I ask you one more question?”

-Let’s ask.

“Hasn’t the summit already happened? Why did you appear only now? If you’re going to help, show up sooner.”

-I was already helping.

At John’s words, Taeyang and Hyeonhye spit out questions in unison.

“Eh?”

-Eh?

– How many people do you think were close to those in power among the users trapped in Dantalian?

iced coffee.

The sun hit my forehead.

Dantalian’s popularity was equal to everyone regardless of class.

Of course, the Dantalian Incident left scars on them all equally.

The story of an NBA star being trapped in Dantalian and a child of a U.S. congressman being trapped in Dantalian and dying is also famous.

There was a time when the story that a Middle Eastern conglomerate was trapped in a game and offered billions of dollars if it was saved was controversial.

In the meantime, countless requests have been made to Taeyang to find his family friend and lover.

There were literally too many to count if you count the requests that came through broadcasting as well as through Hyeon-hye.

However, Taeyang rejected all requests.

And even after refusing so many people’s requests, Taeyang remained fine.

Taeyang as well as Hyeonhye in reality were fine.

The world seems to be equal, but in reality it is not.

There are more people with power who can send a human into hell with a single word than the average person imagines.

There may be people who have overwhelming power enough to sleep with one hand, such as the world’s leading basketball players and those who run the state affairs of the United States.

Wasn’t there a single person like that caught up in the Dantalian Incident?

Not like that.

Then why didn’t those in power ask the sun?

John was answering the question.

-They didn’t approach you. no i couldn’t access it.

“ah.”

– We blocked it. yes. It was hard work, but in the end we did it.

Through the translation, I could feel the exhaustion that John must have been through.

As mentioned earlier, in a capitalist society, money is often superior to the law, and those in power will do anything to get what they want.

Threats against family members or jobs were commonplace, and in severe cases, they would have done things they saw in movies or news.

– The reason we didn’t approach you is simple. We’ve come to the conclusion that you may be our only hope, but there’s nothing we can do to help you.

“ah.”

It was worth it.

Whether it’s the FBI, the CSI, or the special forces with the world’s best talent, it’s worse than wisdom when it comes to games.

The only thing they could do was gather Dantalian rankers from all over the world and gather information, but since they were already gathered in the sun’s broadcast, this was also meaningless.

-You were doing well enough and our approach would only hinder you.

“That is true. Knowing that doesn’t mean my game skills will increase. If the burden increased, it would increase.”

To sum up John’s words, it was simple.

In the meantime, I didn’t have a chance to help, but at this stage, I thought it would be helpful, so I approached it.

-Imagine what you’re doing.

Imagination.

Taeyang intuitively noticed what John was talking about.

‘Azure Murph’s Post.’

Eden is Paimon’s Gate.

The blue sky is Amon’s mouth.

and Dantalian of Earth.

In fact, wouldn’t the demon king Dantalian really come to Earth?

Could it be that he opened the gate to the dimensional labyrinth through the medium of the capsule?

I didn’t say it out of my mouth, but such a hypothesis.

Imagine that.

– We are also giving weight to that hypothesis.
