white night syndrome

Chapter 67 059. Decryption
When Li Ming walked to the ramen shop where he had lunch before, he saw that the ramen shop was separated by a cordon, and Saito Sobayashi who first knocked on the door of his office and Shibazaki, who had been disguised by Watanabe, stood at the door and listened. Listening to the narration of the customers in the ramen shop.

Li Ming glanced at Police Officer Saito with some disgust, secretly cursing the handed down classic "Japan is really small" in his heart, lowered the opened black umbrella slightly, and continued to pretend to be nonchalant towards the affairs Go in the direction.

To be honest, Li Ming doesn't have a good impression of Japanese detectives like Saito. In his impression, most of these professions are irrelevant. pleaded guilty.

Coupled with the appearance that Saito showed when he visited the office before, Li Ming felt even more disgusting.

When walking past the ramen shop, Li Ming paused deliberately, turned the surface of the black umbrella there, and then lifted his foot to leave.

For such a profession with keen insight, it is still necessary to pretend to be an ordinary person, so as not to be suspected.

Not long after Li Ming left, Saito Zonglin came back from his working state, he turned his head to look in the direction where Li Ming left, raised his eyebrows, and then continued to ask about the situation at that time.

Beize Hospital is not far from Li Ming's office, so he quickly arrived at the office's door, and when he was about to take out the key to open the door, his cell phone rang——

It's a text message from LINE.

As an instant social chat software, LINE is actually similar to QQ in daily life in Japan.

But since most Japanese people use LINE for instant messaging, Li Ming also gave up using QQ chat software to contact others.

After all, in his plan, he will stay in Japan for a long time. If he does not adapt to the local habits as soon as possible, it may be more difficult to investigate in his later life.

Opening the chat page of LINE, although he has been carrying out the same activities as the Japanese locals, Li Ming does not have many real friends, and there are not even more than five communication friends on LINE.

This time it was a user named "Black Wood" who sent him a message, and it seems that they have become friends.

when?
Li Ming recalled it, he clearly remembered that he didn't take out his mobile phone when he was in Beize Hospital?
Kuroki sent him a text file named "Summary of Laboratory White Dreams", and attached a text message——

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Li, too many things happened before, so I forgot to show you the summary of each white dream, and I added my friend with your mobile phone before you woke up. Are you okay?"

Li Ming narrowed his eyes, sighed a long time, and only replied to him with one word: "Yes."

After seeing that the message he sent had become read, Hei Mu quickly replied.

"Well, as the hospital doctor, I have one more thing to tell you. I asked Shiratori, and Shiratori said that I told you the reason for the collapse of Baimeng, so I hope you can understand this matter. Keep it a secret for our hospital.”

"Of course, confidentiality is a slow word. Even if you tell this matter, our hospital will not use coercive means to kill you. You can rest assured."

Kuroki paused for a moment, then continued to send messages.

"Just because of this incident, there is a new unknown field related to our hospital's research on dreams, so until the research is completed, we hope that the outside world will keep this new disease a mystery."

"In addition, I warn you as a friend, stay as far away from Miss Kurosawa as possible, because I don't know what will happen when ordinary patients stay with special patients. This is for your safety."

Stay away from Kurosawa?
Li Ming glanced at the thick envelope he just accepted, with a helpless expression on his face.

"Okay, I know, I will try my best to stay away from Hei Ze, but if it is beneficial to my work, then maybe." Although Li Ming did not intend to obey Hei Mu's suggestion, but out of politeness Still replied with some innocuous words.

"Okay, from now on we will use LINE to contact you. Generally, the treatment period for patients is one week, but since you have just experienced a Honkai white dream, your next visit may be delayed. I will use LINE to contact you at that time Bar."

"Then finally, I wish you a happy life~"

Hei Mu's message ended here, and Li Ming had no intention of replying, he just clicked on it and took a look, then turned off the screen of the phone, took out the key in his pocket, and opened the door of the office.

After the door was opened, a damp breath rushed towards his face, Li Ming squinted his eyes, leaned the long-handled black umbrella against the door, and walked straight to the chair beside the desk.

Putting everything stuffed in his coat pocket on the table, Li Ming pinched the bridge of his nose with his right index finger and thumb, closed his somewhat sore eyes, and felt a little relaxed.

There are not many items on the desk, but it is a bit messy. In addition to the white paper that was consumed in the white dream world, there are also squares of paper. The dagger with the strange totem is naturally in the white dream. Then it disappeared.

Staring at the square piece of white paper with the experimental records written on it, Li Ming frowned, feeling something was wrong, but he couldn't tell.

Suddenly he remembered something, picked up the mobile phone on the side and typed on the Google engine, after narrowing down the search scope with keywords, Li Ming found the information he wanted——

"A big explosion occurred in the Pacific Ocean. The aftermath of the explosion has spread to nearby countries. The search and rescue team is still searching for the cause of the explosion in the ocean."

The inscription date was eight or nine years ago.

Because this is a previous report, after clicking on the main text, you can see the follow-up report at the end.

"The search and rescue team has already found the cause of the explosion. A well-known doctor in the country had built a laboratory in the Pacific Ocean before. It is initially judged that the explosion may be caused by overloading of the instruments in the laboratory."

"The search and rescue team accidentally found fragments of land plants in the sea, which were as large as an ordinary football field, and many soaked corpses were also found near these fragments."

"Japanese media reporters found that the whereabouts of the two domestic doctors who built this laboratory are unknown. Due to the complicated situation at the scene, the actual situation can only be tentatively classified as missing."

These reports about the past explosions in the Pacific Ocean, and some key words, made Li Ming more sure that the explosion eight or nine years ago had a great relationship with the white dream they experienced before.

In this way, the daydreams arranged by the hospital belong to the "calendar dreams" among the three types of white dreams mentioned by Jiang Wenli before, and they can affect reality.

But
Who knows if this report appeared out of thin air after they experienced the white dream incident, or if it was an existing report, which is the inevitable ending.

Li Mingxiang didn't understand, but he also couldn't figure it out. The laboratory in the real world has gone through the explosion and no longer exists in this world. It is basically impossible to find some clues.

He can't be allowed to wear a diving suit to the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean to find these so-called clues, right?
After making an annoyed "tsk", Li Ming cast his eyes on the square piece of paper on the desk.

Before at Beize Hospital, when he took out a pen from his pocket to fill out the questionnaire, Li Ming was slightly stunned when he found this piece of paper in his pocket.

Can it be brought from the white dream world to the real world?Then it shows that the white dream arranged by the hospital hides a bigger secret, but now they only get scattered clues.

Opening that piece of paper, his gaze involuntarily focused on the garbled characters in the few sentences at the end, and the nickname "Caesar III" on the reverse side. The meaning of " must have an inalienable relationship with this nickname.

Julius Caesar III?

Caesar knew what it meant, he was the founder of the Roman Empire, and he was also an outstanding commander.

The Great is also a respectful title for Caesar, no, to be precise, it should be a historical title.

Then the next three generations.
Wait, you shouldn't lead your thinking to this, contact the garbled characters in the previous article, and preliminarily judge that these garbled characters composed of English letters have special meanings, so they are encrypted text.

Speaking of encryption, when he contacted Caesar again, Li Ming thought of a simple and most well-known encryption technology, the Caesar cipher.

It is a technique of substitution encryption. All letters in the plaintext are shifted backwards or forwards by a fixed number in the alphabet and then replaced with ciphertext.

The reason why it is called Caesar's cipher is because this encryption method is named after Caesar during the Roman Republic, and Caesar used this method to communicate with his generals.

Generally speaking, the encryption method of the Caesar cipher is to move the plaintext back three positions, that is, change A to D and Z to C.

So the "three" in "Caesar III" is probably the offset number. It can be seen that Dr. Mitarai is not a riddle man. If he really wants to encrypt, he should choose those complex and difficult to understand. Way.

After some comparison, Li Ming translated all the garbled English lines. It should be said to be cipher text.

The first sentence is translated as "You have to face these monsters.", which means "You have to face these monsters";
The second sentence is "It's safer to be in a crisis than to release them." That is, "It's safer to be in a crisis than to release them."

It turned out that the information that Dr. Mitarai wanted to encrypt did not seem to be that important, so it was unreasonable. What was his intention to encrypt this unimportant information?Was it to show off his breadth of knowledge?

Li Ming couldn't help sneering, and conveniently folded the white paper with the experimental records into a square, and threw it into the drawer of his desk.

In a sense, this piece of white paper can be regarded as a commemorative item that witnessed him having experienced a white dream, so a special collection addiction can't help but arise spontaneously.

After rearranging the items on the desk, Li Ming turned on the phone again and clicked on the file that Heimu had sent him.

"Laboratory White Dream Summary"

"There are a total of six patients participating in this white dream, namely Li Ming, Kurosawa Mika, Fuhei Luobo, Ming An, Yinggu Shirako, and Chiranki. Except for the patient Chiranki who died in a forbidden item in the white dream, the other patients They all escaped safely."

"Due to special reasons, Baimeng achieved a Honkai ending in this visit, and the clearer Shiratori Asahi has been sent to deal with it."

"What follows is an evaluation of the patient's performance."

"Patients only reached 40.00% of the exploration in the laboratory, 70.00% of the important events were triggered, and 80.00% of the exploration of key people."

"Patient Li Ming and patient Kurosawa Mika have dominated the direction of action of the six patients, and hereby reward 1000 dream points."

"In addition to the above reward points, the five patients except Akaranki will receive [-] dream points distributed by the hospital, and because of the negligence of the attending physician in the hospital, [-] dream points are hereby compensated."

"The total score of Baimeng this time is B-. I hope all patients can make persistent efforts. In addition, please follow the arrangement of the attending physician regarding the time of the next visit."

Li Ming showed doubts on his face. This summary is actually well written, but he didn't understand the relationship between "exploration", "important events" and "key figures".

But thinking about it carefully, they really didn't explore the entire laboratory in place, so it's a relatively normal thing that important events didn't trigger all of them.

but--

About "Key Person"?
The only people in the laboratory who can make a huge impact are Mitarai and Dr. Onodera. It is reasonable to say that they have already come into contact with these two lunatics, but the exploration of the key figures is still not [-]%.

what on earth is this kind of happenings?
Could it be that there are other key figures met in the laboratory?

At this time, Li Ming inexplicably thought of the previous conjecture, that is, in the communication with Kuisawa, the two upper-level doctors were mentioned. Could it be that this guy is also in the laboratory?
Although very curious, Li Ming knew that there was no way to relive the daydream of seeing a doctor that he had already experienced.

He originally planned to ask Dr. Kuroki on LINE if he could experience the white dream world he had already experienced in the white dream of the next doctor's visit?

But when Li Ming thought that he did not have the habit of actively contacting people, he temporarily gave up this idea.

But speaking of it, I had no chance to see the original summary of Baimeng before, but now it really looks like the summary after the copy of the game.

With such a thought, Li Ming felt a strange feeling for no reason, but it disappeared in an instant.

Just as he was about to pack up and prepare for the reception in the afternoon, there was a knock on the wooden door of the office.

"Is it Mr. Li Ming? We have your international courier here. Can you please come out and sign this package?"

　The new dungeon is about to start, and there should be new characters appearing, maybe anyway, guess what?
