The Owner of a Meticulous Mind
The official name of the Triad Eye Network is WAVE CHAT.
It operated by hacking into signals from random military satellites using the pre-prepared IBDN8334 Aperture Antenna and CELIS049 Bidirectional Ultrahigh Frequency Array Jammer to construct a virtual server for communication.
It was a very complex and inconvenient method, but because it didn't use just one satellite and randomly rerouted signals, hacking was impossible without the exact same equipment, programs, and IP address.
Ta-da-da-dak— ta-ta-tak— tak.
"I've sent messages to Rick and Hector's accounts. If they haven't forgotten how to access WAVE CHAT and their accounts, they'll reply as soon as they check."
Just then.
Ting—
An alarm sounded, and a window popped up in the lower left corner of the WAVE CHAT screen.
【A message has arrived.】
Shinwoo couldn't help but be surprised.
"What? A reply already?"
"...It's Wei. I told him as a test that the network construction would be completed today, and it looks like he connected right on time."
With that answer, Jang Man-soo clicked on the message, and a chat window popped up in the center of the monitor.
【Wei(KIRIN): Connection is working fine. Does this mean the others can connect too? Has anyone else contacted you yet? What were you doing? I went to a fancy restaurant with my brothers for dinner for the first time in a while, and I'm so full I could die.】
The ID KIRIN was also Wen Wei's call name. At the same time, it was full of very talkative stories.
Seeing that, Shinwoo realized once again that he had found the real Wei.
"Can't we limit the number of characters in Wei's chat?"
"It's possible... but if you do that, Wei will be stuck to the boss's ear until blood comes out. Are you okay with that?"
Wen Wei's nickname in the team was Too Much Talker. Of course, he was more serious than anyone else during operations, but otherwise, he talked a lot of nonsense.
In the past, Shinwoo had inevitably shared a room with Wei and had to listen to his chatter all night. And when he checked in the morning, there was a little blood on his ear. For real…….
"No. It's okay. Just leave it alone. Never touch it."
Ting— Ting—
In the meantime, Wei's chats continued to arrive.
【Wei(KIRIN): The elders on the Seven Circle Society side are still making a fuss about TSF. But do you know what the Guangzhou elder of the Seven Circle Society's hobby is? Collecting Japanese anime figures. How did I know that…….】
【Wei(KIRIN): Wow, before I went back to the past, I accidentally touched that figure and got beaten to death…….】
【Wei(KIRIN): Come to think of it, the Shenyang branch leader was a real madman. He cut off the hair of the guys he didn't like and wore it as a wig!】
.
.
Unasked-for words kept coming out.
At least he knew that there was no problem with the WAVE CHAT network.
"...Switch to voice communication."
"Ok."
At Shinwoo's request, Jang Man-soo pressed the call button on one side of the chat window. And in less than a second, he was able to connect with Wei.
[Huh? Why a call?]
"Wei, we're getting information about the Seven Circle Society through the Yaguza, so you don't have to make unnecessary contact."
[Ah, that's right. You said you were trading with the Yaguza, right?]
"Is the orphanage being taken care of well?"
[No problem. Thanks to you, the land lease was completed without any problems, and the new construction is going well.]
The construction used the 30 million yuan that Jang Man-soo had sent as an anonymous donation last time.
"So when can you come over?"
[It'll be a few days. Anyway, there are other brothers to take care of the younger ones besides me.]
"The company has told me to create a support foundation in China, so there won't be any problems with management. We'll also help the kids when they grow up and become independent."
[This… I'm just receiving too much.]
Wei was a little dumbfounded because what he had been struggling to protect with the lives of bad guys was being resolved smoothly as soon as he found his comrades.
"Don't talk nonsense. Let's use this for communication from now on."
[Rick and Hector need to check this quickly.]
It took about 8 months to complete the WAVE CHAT network. It took quite a long time, but it could be said that it was created in a short period of time considering that it started from scratch without anything.
In the meantime, Shinwoo finished communicating and accessed WAVE CHAT on his cell phone with Lillian.
"Huh? What is this?"
Instead of logging in, a strange question popped up on the phone screen.
"That? I've strengthened the security a bit just in case."
【1. What is the model of the pistol that HOUND lost during his escape in Operation Bazargan?】
It was an operation that all team members had participated in. And HOUND was Hector's call name. He couldn't not know because he had lost his beloved pistol at the time.
【Colt M1911】
It was a pistol made for the US military in 1986, and it was the initial model, not the improved A1.
As soon as he answered correctly, the next question came out.
"How many are there?"
"Three. South Korea is a three-game match. By the way, the questions are random every time you connect."
"...Anyway. You're good at making unnecessary functions."
【2. Who proposed to Lillian out of the blue during the Dubai VIP mission?】
This question was also not difficult.
【Prince Musharr】
Shinwoo shook his head and sighed.
"It's ingenious to come up with these kinds of questions……."
In the meantime, Lillian's annoyance popped out of her mouth.
"Jang Man-soo! How do I know what kind of machine you had to leave behind while retreating during Operation Asosa!"
"Why don't you know! I was so sad! I couldn't even go back to find it, so I even remotely destroyed it with my own hands!"
"So what's the answer?"
"IPX34582 laptop."
Lillian's lips twitched as if they were cramping when she heard the answer.
"You put that in to get it right?"
"It's easy!"
"Bullshit……!"
Shinwoo, who was watching the two bickering, looked at the last question.
【3. What is MANDU's favorite color?】
“…….”
If he tried to remember all the colors that Jang Man-soo had worn, his eyes might fall out.
With that, Shinwoo sighed and handed his cell phone to Jang Man-soo.
"Seriously, change the question type. Or just make it possible to log in like before."
"What, boss! Aren't you too uninterested in me?"
"I don't want to be interested in areas that I can never understand."
"You can tell just by looking at the clothes I'm wearing now!"
Currently, Jang Man-soo was wearing a strange reddish-toned tracksuit.
"It's red."
"What red is this!"
"If that's not red, then what is it?"
It was a color that Jang Man-soo often wore even before the regression. But he didn't really have a reason to ask, so until just now, he only knew it as red.
"It's pink! Strawberry pink!"
"Isn't strawberry a strawberry? Then it's red."
"Argh—! You color illiterate!"
At that moment, Shinwoo felt like he had become colorblind.
"Why are the color names like that?"
"Ugh! Annoying!"
Jang Man-soo typed the answer into Shinwoo's cell phone and headed to the bathroom.
Shinwoo, who was dumbfounded at the moment, looked at Lillian with a bewildered expression. Lillian also shrugged her shoulders with a face that she didn't understand.
Then Lillian remembered something and opened the desk drawer and rummaged through it.
"What are you doing?"
"When I came earlier, I saw Mandu put something like a remote control in there."
The search for Jang Man-soo's secret room was still not over. So every time he visited the workshop, he searched it, but he couldn't find the entrance to the secret room or how to open it.
"Really?"
"Wait a minute."
Lillian rummaged through the drawer and found a black remote control about the length of her index finger.
"This is it!"
"Press it quickly."
When he pressed the remote control button, the bookshelf full of fantasy novels near the bed began to move.
"Is it there?"
"I'm sure there was no secret space when I checked."
Usually, places that are easily suspected of being secret passages are places where it is difficult to move things, such as bookshelves or refrigerators. Of course, Shinwoo and Lillian had checked those places first, so they couldn't find it.
"Ah… that bastard… he put bricks behind the bookshelf in a double layer. That's why the sound doesn't echo."
"He's a meticulous bastard. But why is the inside empty?"
When he turned on the light in the room, a space of about 10 pyeong was revealed. However, unlike what the two had expected, there was only an empty hanger installed.
The opposite wall was also clean, with only traces of something being attached.
"I know. Why is it empty? Did he move it because he knew we would find it?"
The bathroom door opened from behind.
Jang Man-soo smiled when he saw Shinwoo and Lillian in front of the wide-open secret room.
"I knew it. You guys have been looking for something every time you come these days."
"What happened?"
"What happened? I moved it because you guys were suspicious."
Lillian also handed over the remote control with a dumbfounded expression.
"So you put it in the drawer so I could see it?"
"Of course."
"Heo……."
Even if nothing else, the types of clothes that Jang Man-soo had worn so far would be at least hundreds.
But it was strange because he had never seen him move that much.
"Where did you move it to?"
"Where else would I move it to? The house I'm moving to. You told me to move last time, right?"
Shinwoo had forgotten what he had said last time because he was so out of it these days.
"Ah… that's right. So you're saying you found a house to move to? Where to?"
"It's a luxury villa complex in Hannam-dong. There's a whole building that came out, so I bought it. There are eight households in one building, and the remaining four households will be moving out by the end of this month at the latest."
"You spent some money."
"About 90 billion won for the sale? If I'm going to go, I should go to a place where I can live comfortably and safely."
Lillian suddenly stepped forward at that explanation.
"Eight houses? Then I can move in too?"
"I'm going to put it up for lease, so come if you want. I'll give you a big discount and give it to you for about 4 billion won."
The price was really cheap. However, Jang Man-soo's expression was so arrogant that it shook Lillian's mood.
"Do you want to die?"
"Aagh—! Cough! Cough!"
In the end, Lillian ran at Jang Man-soo again and continued with the headlock to cobra twist combo as always.
"4 billion won? I'll give it to you if you last 40 seconds!"
"Aaaagh! My arm! Arm! Waist! My waist—! Tap! Tap! Tap!"
The pain that went in at once with the neck and waist lock was beyond imagination. Nevertheless, Lillian didn't let go of Jang Man-soo and just slightly reduced the force.
"So I can go in and live too, right?"
"...1 billion won deposit and 3 million won monthly rent deduction! Cough! Aaaagh—!"
"You really want to die, don't you? You earned units of Jo with Livio Soft thanks to me, what? Deposit? I'll deduct your lifespan!"
"I'm going to die! Boss—!"
Shinwoo quietly turned his back, thinking that Jang Man-soo had earned his beating with compound interest.
"It's your own fault… I know, who told you to tease her."
"Boss—! Ack! I'm going to die! My waist! Waist—!"
With a scream, Jang Man-soo had no choice but to surrender. At the same time, he was thrown to the floor and glared at Lillian with all his might.
"That's unfair……."
"Not more than you. And let's finish the contract this time."
"W-what… contract?"
"What else would it be? Of course, it's a free real estate lease contract. Hurry up and find the form and fill it out."
Lillian forcibly sat Jang Man-soo in front of the computer. At the same time, she carefully checked the address and registered owner so that Jang Man-soo couldn't play tricks.
