The two people communicating through the bullet comments continued their conversation.

"Su Peng? Didn't you say he was just average, an ordinary company member?"

"I only recently noticed his abnormal behavior. In any case, let's investigate him."

"I've noted it down. Is there anything else?"

"Yes, I've applied to the bureau for a firearm, and I'll pick it up next week. I feel very insecure right now...

Lei Ming said that someone from the Huben team might have died unexpectedly.

He might have also noticed that I seem to know the truth about this game, so he was hinting that the person might have been killed by the company."

"Forget about the firearm. The bureau chief won't approve it.

Also, only the bureau chief and I know about your undercover work. It's hard to get a source for firearms.

Just remember your words and your identity."

"…I understand. It's about time. I'll log out."

"Be careful. Keep in touch next week."

"Got it."

"By the way, there's one more thing. The bureau chief wants me to tell you…"

Su Peng was reading the conversation on the screen when suddenly, the video with the bullet comments closed.

"What's going on?" Su Peng was startled, thinking he had been discovered. But then he saw the message: "The video you are watching does not exist or has been deleted by the uploader or administrator."

Su Peng checked the time: 10:16 PM. The video was 24 minutes long, so it had 8 minutes left.

After a moment's thought, Su Peng smiled. He was too nervous and had forgotten that this was a bullet comment, not real-time communication. Sun Shijia and 'Xiao Xiao' had entered the conversation earlier than him. What he saw was just the recorded video. They had probably finished their conversation, and the video had been deleted by the uploader.

"Really a great way to communicate. Using bullet comments on a video website, I can't believe they thought of this. This kind of bullet comment leaves no trace. Once the original video is deleted, nothing can be seen. To trace it back to Sun Shijia's computer, they would need to pinpoint each cookie, and the company's monitoring isn't that detailed. From the surveillance, it looks like Sun Shijia is just watching an anime. This is really a very covert way to pass information."

Su Peng thought, but by chance, he had cracked this method of communication.

"In the conversation, one person was clearly Sun Shijia. I never expected he had another identity… And the keywords they mentioned, 'bureau,' 'mission,' 'application for a firearm,' don't sound like amateurs. Could they be government people? Which bureau? The Public Security Bureau?"

Su Peng thought, but the situation seemed to be getting more complicated. If Sun Shijia was a government person, did that mean the government was involved? Was it an official intervention, or the will of certain people in the 'bureau'?

"Regardless, it seems that the force behind Sun Shijia doesn't plan to use force to seize the mainframe. They might be official people, but they can't enter Tianyi Company without a valid reason. And the death of Fu Kang that Sun Shijia mentioned, did he think the same as me?"

Su Peng's mind flashed with the image of the dead Xiao Lin, Fu Kang, and the black palm print on his chest. Could it be that Sun Shijia meant… if a character in the game dies, the player in reality is also affected?

Su Peng's thinking leaned towards reality, instinctively rejecting supernatural factors. But the continuous signs made it impossible for him to continue his habitual thinking. The supernatural idea had entered his consciousness.

"The possibility is not small… Perhaps I need to conduct some experiments. If this is true, the significance of this game to me will be completely different… But before that, I need to deal with some real-life issues."

"The force represented by Sun Shijia and Sun Shijia himself have already begun to suspect me… My identity can't withstand investigation. They will soon find out my family background, and I can't hide it, as I use my real name… So, will my background intimidate them, or will it trigger other chain reactions?"

Su Peng thought, realizing that his background was an unavoidable obstacle.

"But this isn't entirely bad. I can infer their background from their reactions. If it's a pure official action, they will quickly find out my background and may ask my family to cooperate. Conversely, if it's not an official background, their reactions will be ambiguous…"

Su Peng thought, feeling more at ease. He could monitor Sun Shijia's computer, and Sun Shijia was not on guard. In this sense, he had an information advantage and could use it to his advantage.

"The last issue is about Lei Ming. Sun Shijia also noticed some problems with Lei Ming, and he seems to know more than I do. Lei Ming has hinted to Sun Shijia, and from Lei Ming's character, he must have some plan. I'm monitoring Sun Shijia, so I might also trace Lei Ming, killing two birds with one stone… But it seems a bit complicated."

Su Peng thought, subconsciously reaching for a cigarette in his pocket, only to realize he was in his room.

"I need to go to the bathroom…" Su Peng thought, but suddenly, he paused!

A flash of inspiration hit Su Peng. He thought of a possibility…

"How could I forget this!" Su Peng scolded himself for being so stupid. How could he have forgotten this method?

"Most of the company's computers use wireless routers, so Shi Qianjun's office computer is likely the same. Since I can hack into Sun Shijia's computer, there's a good chance I can also hack into Shi Qianjun's computer. And Shi Qianjun's computer is likely connected to the entire company's surveillance system, so indirectly, I would have access to all the company's video information!"

This thought flashed through Su Peng's mind.

The more he thought about it, the more he believed it was possible. He realized the company's internal network security was not very good, possibly because all the computers were under surveillance and external network devices were not allowed.

But Su Peng's modified phone was a wireless network killer, perfectly targeting the company's security weakness.

Thinking about this, Su Peng couldn't wait to test his idea. If he could use his phone to hack into Shi Qianjun's computer and steal the entire company's surveillance information, he would have a lot more information.

Su Peng was a man of action. He couldn't wait to verify his idea.

However, the dormitory where Su Peng stayed was quite far from Shi Qianjun's office, so he couldn't search for the signal from there.

After some thought, Su Peng logged out of Sun Shijia's wireless network, put on his coat, and placed his phone in the pocket. He then walked out.

Su Peng first went to the lounge, took a pack of cigarettes from the bar, and continued down the left corridor.

At the end of the corridor, Su Peng entered the bathroom, put a cigarette in his mouth, and went into a stall.

"The company's cameras won't monitor the inside of the toilet, right?" Su Peng thought. In the toilet, he pulled down the toilet seat, sat on it, and took out his phone to start searching.

After a short while, a smile appeared on Su Peng's face: "Found it… User 180001!"

On Su Peng's phone, a wireless user option appeared.

He opened the cracking program, entered User 180001's network, and used a program to crack the main user's account, opening the screen monitoring.

A few minutes later, a large number of divided surveillance screens appeared on Su Peng's phone screen.

"Got it!" Su Peng almost wanted to punch the wall in the adjacent stall to celebrate. He had finally hacked into the surveillance information of Shi Qianjun's office.

When Su Peng calmed down from his excitement, he saw the surveillance camera in Shi Qianjun's office on the screen.

Su Peng zoomed in on the screen and saw…

Shi Qianjun was talking to a man dressed in black, wearing dark sunglasses, and with a short haircut.

"Wait… this person… is…"

My health hasn't been good recently, but I'll try to update today. If there are no unexpected issues, I'll have three updates today.
