"Speaking of which, how exactly did you escape?" Li Huailin asked. Indeed, the strangest thing was the company's authority. Since they knew that Hoffman had betrayed them, they should have removed his authority immediately. However, the company did not do so. Li Huailin was also very curious about what Hoffman did.
"At that time, a few of us discovered the company's plan, so we planned to stop those who were going to use this server. However, we couldn't leave the company directly. After all, the company had already begun to suspect us. If we left casually, we would definitely be taken away by them," Hoffman said. Hoffman said, "So, the few of us discussed and decided to tamper with the promotional video. The first batch of people to come in must be the reporters. I think if the reporters see this situation, they should be able to pass the news to the people outside."
"I see." Li Huailin nodded slightly. In a situation where they couldn't go out, it was a solution. However, the success rate wasn't very high. After all, if someone had seen the promotional video, they would be discovered.
"However, we didn't expect to be discovered when we were modifying the promotional video," Hoffman said.
Li Huailin knew about that too. Yes, Hoffman left halfway through the promotional video. He reckoned that he was discovered by the company at that time.
"We couldn't go out. At this time, we thought of entering Paradise World to hide, but the other party still caught up with us," Hoffman continued. "The others were captured, and I couldn't do anything about it at that time. However, someone happened to help me at that time."
"Help you? Who is it? "Li Huailin asked.
"It's an NPC with autonomous consciousness. The other party seems to have developed a strange system. We worked together before, and the other party said that he seemed to be able to save my life information. I don't know what happened after that," Hoffman said.
"In that case, you don't know why the people in the center have disappeared now, do you?" Li Huailin asked.
"Of course. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so surprised," Hoffman said. Hoffman said, "What exactly happened here? Could it be that our method worked? Someone came in and saw this promotional video, and then let the people know about it. Then, the plan was abandoned, so the people here left, right? "
"I don't think so." Li Huailin said, "First of all, the possibility of this happening is too small. Yes, it's obvious that you've betrayed us. The other party should've found out about your tricks in the promotional video. Even if they wanted to check it, they would've checked it. It's necessary to eliminate this hidden danger, but they didn't. The promotional video hasn't been modified. More importantly, if this was done by the government, even if they were discovered, they could still find a way to fool them. I'm more inclined to believe that there was an accident, and it happened right after you escaped. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to explain the problem of authority on your side. "
"What accident?" Hoffman asked.
"How would I know? How would I know?" Li Huailin spread his hands. "But this accident should have happened very suddenly. Otherwise, it's impossible that you didn't have time to remove it. By the way, are there any surveillance cameras in this place?"
"Surveillance … There should be video recordings, but they should be managed by the security department. I might not have such authority," Hoffman said after thinking for a while.
Li Huailin nodded. That was not strange. After all, Hoffman was just a systems engineer. It would be strange if he could look at the surveillance cameras casually. However, if there were no surveillance cameras, there would naturally be no way to know what happened.
"I got it." At this moment, Hoffman suddenly said, "If my personal computer is still working, the camera might be able to capture something."
"Personal computer? Where is it? "Li Huailin asked immediately.
"This way." Hoffman led the way, and it seemed that they were going to the second floor. However, there was a problem on the way to the second floor. Yes, the elevator here asked about Li Huailin's identity. After all, the second floor was a work area and a restricted area. Li Huailin's current identity was only that of an entourage. However, of course, now that Hoffman was around, it was relatively easy to make up an identity. Hence, Li Huailin became a researcher under Hoffman. Of course, Hoffman did not have the right to give him a higher position. His rank could only be approved by the higher-ups of the company. However, he could still give him the identity of a researcher who helped with research.
With this identity, Li Huailin had the authority to enter the second floor. Hence, he quickly followed Hoffman to the second floor and walked to the door of one of the rooms. Li Huailin and the Jade Emperor hadn't been to this room before. Yes, there were still many rooms here, and Li Huailin had visited all of them before. This should be Hoffman's office.
Hoffman explained as he walked. He was the leader of one of the information engineering teams here. He originally had six researchers under him, and all six of them had participated in the operation with him. However, they were all captured before Hoffman. Hoffman should be the only one who escaped and found a way to get out. This laboratory was originally the laboratory of the few of them.
Sure enough, after asking for a little bit, the door opened quickly. In front of Li Huailin was a room that looked similar to the office that he had visited before. The furnishings inside were no different. There were only a few desks and almost nothing else. The only difference was that this room was especially clean, and there was nothing on the desks.
"What?" Hoffman, who had just entered, immediately said, "This is not right. Someone touched my desk."
"That's obvious." Li Huailin looked at the empty desk, and said, "It's normal to investigate this."
Hoffman immediately pressed a button on his table, and soon, something that looked like a screen popped up. However, it was a holographic display. Hoffman pressed a few times in the air with his hand, and soon, the unlocking information popped up.
"Eh … strange. Although they checked my desk, I don't think they touched my personal computer." Hoffman looked at it for a while, and said, "The information on this machine is still there."
"Is that so?" Li Huailin was a little surprised. Since they had the time to check the desk, why didn't they have the time to check the personal computer? That seemed a little unreasonable. After thinking about it, Li Huailin didn't care about what was going on, and asked directly, "What about the video?"
"Here … Wow, why are there so many?" Hoffman shouted directly, and Li Huailin went over to take a look. Yes, Li Huailin had never seen this personal computer's operating system before. However, he could guess the basic function just by looking at the icons and the like. Li Huailin saw that Hoffman had pulled out a lot of files, and he guessed that they were all video files.
"This … This is a year's worth of video?" Hoffman was a little stunned. "Oh no …"
"Oh no?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, I remember. Although there are video files, the problem is that my settings here seem to only record for a year. The later ones will replace the previous ones." Hoffman said, "This … How long have I been dead? There are already videos from a year ago, and I've only been in the company for four months."
Li Huailin didn't know how long it had been. Yes, he didn't tell Hoffman that this was something that happened a year ago in the game. If that was the case, this company might have existed for thousands of years. However, he wasn't sure if the time flow in the company was the same as in the game. However, just by looking at the plants in the garden outside, he guessed that it had been a long time. It must have been empty for a long time.
Sure enough, Hoffman also clicked on the earliest video file. It recorded the situation a year ago, and the location of the recording was the situation around the personal computer. Yes, this video was also a holographic panoramic 360-degree video. Unfortunately, the things that were played were no different from what they were seeing now. Yes, it was indeed a year ago, and this room looked like what they were seeing now.
"This … I really can't see anything." Hoffman thought for a while, and said, "The deleted files will be stored in the database. As for the database, I have to get approval from the higher-ups before I can enter it. But now … "
"If that's the case, you can't see anything?" Li Huailin asked.
"Probably." Hoffman said, "Unfortunately, in this case, there's nothing to be gained here. The important information should be on the third floor, but a researcher like me can't go up to the third floor …"
"Gain … It's not that there's nothing," Li Huailin suddenly said.
"Hmm?" Hoffman looked at Li Huailin strangely. Yes, it seemed like there was no gain at all. He didn't know what Li Huailin was talking about.
"At least I thought of a possibility. It's obvious that someone had checked your desk, but the information on the personal computer wasn't deleted, "Li Huailin said.
"Did I tell you that they had an accident, and couldn't make it in time?" Hoffman asked.
"No, it's about the permissions. If they couldn't change it in time, I would believe it. However, this personal computer, the other party couldn't do something as simple as opening and deleting the information. It's very likely that the other party couldn't open it," Li Huailin said.
