Chapter 55 Unreadable Twisted Information (Third Update)
Arima Kishou had just finished reporting on the Tokyo-wide purification operation. He was about to close his tactical terminal when he saw the newly popped-up message and, unusually, paused for half a second.
"director."
Arima's voice remained steady, but if you listened carefully, you could detect a very faint fluctuation caused by an unexpected event.
"In addition to the usual tactical summary, there is also a top-level message that was just sent via an encrypted line."
He looked up, his gaze behind his frameless glasses falling on Pei Qi: "The source is noted as the GOC Global Secretary General's Office."
Upon hearing the title, Pei Qi's fingers, which had been toying with his pen, paused slightly before he casually slipped the pen back into his suit pocket. "Oh? So the newly appointed big shot has finally noticed our remote island branch?"
Pei Qi leaned back in his obsidian chair, crossed his arms, and fell into a brief moment of contemplation.
Pei Qi knew better than anyone how he got the position of "GOC Japan Branch Manager".
Simply put, it's "money power" plus "superpowers".
But this does not mean he was an illegal intruder. On the contrary, his identity is flawless in terms of law and procedure, even more verifiable than that of a real diplomat.
He first registered eighteen offshore shell companies in the Cayman Islands, each with a legal representative who was a "ghost" whose identity could not be found.
However, all registration documents, credit certificates, and even tax records were displayed as "AAA Excellent" due to the system's intervention.
He then used these companies to cross-shareholdings, building a complex, labyrinthine network of capital operations.
When he proposed a "restructuring through capital injection" plan to his beleaguered former GOC executive, he offered more than just gold.
There is also a 300-page document titled "Private Military Contracting Agreement under the Framework of UN Special Operations," drafted by a team of top (non-existent) lawyers from around the world.
In this agreement, Pei Qi is designated as "Special Advisor for International Humanitarian Assistance," and his mercenary force is designated as "Crisis Response Rapid Response Team."
His purchase of the GOC site was packaged as a "maintenance lease and upgrade of abandoned UN assets."
Every seal was genuine, every remittance record was compliant, and even the Japanese Foreign Ministry official responsible for signing, under the friendly negotiation of Pei Qi, who "knew the secret of his illegitimate child," sweated profusely as he stamped the official seal representing national sovereignty.
Even if the United Nations sends its top auditing team or the FBI's Financial Crimes Unit were to investigate, they would only get lost in this maze of thousands of legal documents.
unless----
The newly appointed, mysterious secretary-general, perhaps possessing a godlike perspective or simply bored out of his mind, was willing to spend ten days to half a month, even without sleep, to go through all those hundreds of thousands of transfer records and contract terms one by one.
"But is that even possible?"
Pei Qi was quite confident about this.
With the overwhelming power of the [Information Display Module], no one can completely hide their secrets from Pei Qi.
Even those parasitic beasts that can mimic humans and blend into society are nothing more than wild monsters with red health bars and the [Status: Hunger] label on their heads in Pei Qi's eyes.
Their minds are as pure as a blank sheet of paper compared to the convoluted bureaucratic system of humans.
"As long as my procedures are legal, even the UN Secretary-General cannot remove me from office without cause."
His thoughts returned. Pei Qi noticed that Arima Kishou had suddenly stopped reading halfway through, and a hint of confusion seemed to flash across his usually expressionless face.
"Arima? Why aren't you reading it anymore?"
Pei Qi raised an eyebrow, his tone tinged with a hint of teasing: "Is there something wrong with the content? Or was the secretary-general's statement a bit too sharp? Does he intend to criticize us from across the ocean for rescuing Tokyo without approval?"
"If the issue is about expense reimbursement, you can tell him that the Japanese government has already covered it, and headquarters doesn't need to pay a single penny."
Arima Kishou shook his head, his sharp eyes refocusing on the screen.
"No, supervisor. There was no criticism."
Arima's voice returned to its usual calm, but his speech was slightly slower than usual, as if he were carefully choosing his words: "The Secretary-General's reply—was very conventional. One could even say it was somewhat 'overly official.'"
He highly praised the achievements of GOC Japan in the Setagaya cleanup operation and the subsequent comprehensive cleanup.
The text used phrases such as "the revival of the light of humanity" and "steadfast defenders of order," and encouraged us to maintain this high-pressure stance.
"It sounds like a mass commendation letter." Pei Qi shrugged.
"but----"
Arima abruptly changed the subject, handing the tactical terminal to Pei Qi: "At the end of the regular email, there's a special attachment. I tried to decrypt it using my 'Special Operations Advisor' privileges, but the system says I don't have sufficient permissions."
"Note: This can only be opened by PeiQi, the head of GOC Japan branch."
"They even added a double lock: both biometric iris verification and a physical key."
Arima looked at Pei Qi with a deep gaze: "It seems that this important person has some private words that he only wants to say to you."
"Hmm? What needs to be made so mysterious?"
Pei Qi took the cold tactical terminal. The screen displayed a red GOC global emblem, with a constantly flashing notification below:
[Top Secret Document]
[Biometric verification by supervisor required]
"In a world where I can see right through even the private lives of cabinet ministers, is there really something that I need to verify?"
Pei Qi felt a strange sense of unease.
He didn't rush to press his finger on it, but instead habitually squinted his eyes and activated the [Information Display Module].
Based on past experience, he should now be able to see a preview of the file content, and even the sender's IP address and real name.
Even the so-called Pentagon, the White House underground bunker, or even the legendary Area 51, as long as they are connected to the internet, Pei Qi is confident that he can see everything without triggering an alarm.
however.
"Sizzle!!!"
The data stream in the field of vision was not arranged neatly as usual, but collapsed and distorted in an instant.
The contents of the document were not displayed in Pei Qina's originally all-knowing "vision".
Instead, there was a bunch of wildly jumping, glaringly garbled gibberish, which Pei Qi couldn't fully understand, but that was enough.
"It seems this secretary-general isn't an ordinary person after all."
Pei Qi took a deep breath to calm his racing heart.
"director?"
Arima Kishou, standing nearby, keenly noticed Pei Qi's unusual state. His hand returned to the IXA's controller, his body tense, as if guarding against some unseen enemy.
"It's nothing, Arima. I just saw a... very interesting encryption algorithm."
Pei Qi waved his hand, and the confident smile returned to his lips.
If soft methods don't work, then let's try hard methods. If we can't peek, then let's peek openly.
