United Future Organization
Even in large-scale offices, past 2 a.m., there are no people around. The central figure in development had gone missing, causing the project's progress to become unclear. He was the only one who fully grasped the whole picture of the situation. In this kind of project, it's necessary for information to be shared with the group so that things can run smoothly even if someone is absent. However, he was special. Well, it's common for geniuses to not want to share information and not want to talk to anyone. They communicate better using a display and a keyboard. Processing code yields the best results. Once confirmed, the higher-ups don't dig deeper, escaping the hassle of explanations. It's a privilege granted mainly to talented individuals. I had never spoken to him. I believed he was from a different world, even if I admired the results of his work. He was favored by society and acknowledged for his strength. While admiring his abilities, I simply carried out my assigned tasks.
The office is silent. Perhaps the noise of many electronic devices and the sound of the air conditioning would have been quietly echoing. No one can enter due to the locking mechanism. I work while listening to music. So, I wouldn't notice if someone was behind me. The assigned task is to decode the remaining code, verify the issues, and grasp the progress of the project as soon as possible. His disappearance was unexpected. Without breaking a sweat or changing his expression, he just faced the display. No one knew his inner thoughts. There is no means of communication, no way of reaching him. The first thing to tackle is decoding the cipher. It seems like a cipher he designed himself. What was he thinking encrypting within a well-secured internal system? There's also the possibility that he was involved in headhunting for another organization alongside his duties.
However, would he leave behind the central source code of the project? It would have been best to erase the data. Another possibility is that the encrypted data is just dummy data. Encrypting a code that leads to nothing to buy time. It's a plausible scenario. He was a genius. That after decrypting the code, there's nothing inside. We need some kind of answer by tomorrow.
That's what we've been told from upstairs. So, I can't leave even past 2 a.m. Time until dawn passes moment by moment. Panic is not allowed. There are clues left on the PC. Even if I don't know the password, there's a way to find out what's inside. Leaving the office, I grab a beverage in the relaxation space. The water quenches my thirst. Outside the window, the night view spreads out. The city is asleep. I think about the people who haven't yet made it to bed. But my mind is focused on his data. Whatever its content, it needs to be confirmed by morning.
I wonder if the backup is not stored in the cloud? Or perhaps crucial data that serves as the encryption key is still left on the terminal? We need to examine the communication records. Is there a possibility that the work was done completely local? I continue to gaze at the night view. But my mind is within his machine. It seems like I'm looking outside, but I'm constantly thinking inside.
There's no personal information about him. Everyone just called him K. Is it an initial or just a symbol? I don't even know that. I return to the office to check the communication records. There's no suspicious communication. I look for communication with the search AI. Input records. Results and selections. Or the transmission of large data. Checking such information reveals only a little personal information. The important information is in his head. He seems to be that type. He didn't do anything like searching for technical information. He was looking at images of flowers. A flower called Callmea, which is poisonous.
It has toxins in its leaves, and it's said to be poisonous to sheep, hence called sheep killer
. He was also looking at images of other flowers, but what caught my attention was this Callmea flower. A sheep killer flower. What was he thinking while looking at
