Chapter 35 The Phantom in the Late Night Office

This bank's office is quite well-equipped. Not only does it have a temporary bedroom for the night shift, but it also has a bathroom.

After dinner, Meng Fei took a shower and came back to the office.

He hadn't expected to stay in the office overnight, so he didn't bring a change of clothes and put on the clothes he had already worn.

It's winter now, so I might be able to bear it without changing clothes for a day or two.

The huge office was empty, dark, and only had a few power lights everywhere, which seemed a bit scary.

He pressed the light switch at the entrance. With a banging sound, the long office was like a huge light strip, lighting up section by section.

There is no distinction between day and night in the office. It feels much better when the lights are on.

It's just that there is no one else in the office with more than 300 workstations except him, and the atmosphere seems a bit strange.

But Meng Fei is not worried about safety issues here.

This is a bank. Although this is not a vault filled with banknotes and gold bricks, it is the entrance to a lot of bank confidential data, and the security is equally tight.

Security guards with guns are stationed at all entrances on each floor of the entire building, and no one is allowed to pass through at night.

A life monitoring system is also installed in the office area, which will sound an alarm if any living warm-blooded animal enters the office.

Not only can this catch people, but they will also use it to catch mice.

He had already registered with the security office for night duty, so he was excluded. So he was the only one who could stay in the office tonight.

This is much safer than the farmhouse he stayed at on the mountainside of Dingshan.

He looked at each person's workstation one by one.

After all, the work station is a place where one-third of life is consumed every day, and everyone has a different style.

Some people's workstations are piled with professional books, while others are full of unpacked clutter. Some people's workstations are clean, and some have succulents, puppets, figurines or photos.

Only computers are indispensable to everyone.

All computers are on. These work computers are never shut down. The security system will automatically perform some scanning, backup and upgrade tasks in the middle of the night when no one is around.

Login to these computers requires a username and password. Meng Fei has the administrator password obtained from the bank and can log in to any computer at will.

But he doesn't have to.

"scanning!"

The goal of his scan is the source of all executable code, analyzing the possible behaviors of the code, and all traces left by these behaviors.

When encountering this problem, even if he has the strongest BUG system, he still needs to spend some time thinking because this is not scanning for BUGs.

He wanted to scan what all the code on this machine could do and what traces it actually did.

For example, if some code has the ability to modify the security system, and the security system actually leaves traces of modification, then the problem has been found.

On the other hand, assuming there is nothing, then his efforts are in vain.

This is harder than finding bugs or simply comparing DNA mutations. There is too much logic to cover.

Fortunately, the most powerful BUG system was simply the most powerful supercomputer he had ever seen. Driven by the surging computing power, countless instructions flowed through his mind like a torrential river.

Logically speaking, Xiao Han's computer was the most suspect. But he didn't start from that computer because he secretly scanned that computer in the afternoon.

Everything is clean and tidy. Xiao Han, a good boy, really doesn’t do anything private when he’s at work. He doesn’t even open a news website.

But others are different.

Although the software on the computers here is subject to various restrictions on installation and blocking, the office workers have still found a way to do it.

Some people secretly read novels at work, some play web games because they are brothers, and some even open Xiaohuang.com.

Because the use of mobile phones is prohibited here, they tried their best. Fortunately, these small actions did not seem to lead to data leakage.

The security system developed by Liu Gang and others is very powerful. Even if you connect to an unreliable website, the possibility of being planted with a Trojan horse is still very slim.

After scanning dozens of computers, Meng Fei felt a little dizzy. He sat on an office chair and closed his eyes to rest for a while, when he suddenly heard a slight sound.

"Click, click, click..."

He opened his eyes suddenly.

The sound disappeared.

This sound was all too familiar to him. It was the sound of a mouse click. WOC, there was obviously no one here except him, why would someone click the mouse?

Is there a ghost?

In fact, he is more likely to have misheard. Analyzing these computers is quite tiring. Maybe it's backlash? It's backlash to the point where he has auditory hallucinations?

He closed his eyes again and planned to take a good rest.

"Click, click, click..."

here we go again!

This time he didn't open his eyes. Since you can fight hard without opening my eyes, let me listen carefully. Where does the sound come from?

Unfortunately, this office space is too big. Even at night when you could hear a pin drop, it was difficult to identify the source of the sound.

When he determined that the sound came from a certain direction, he always had a vague feeling that the completely opposite direction also made perfect sense.

No matter, you can exclude them one by one.

Meng Fei suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, running in a certain direction.

I'd like to see how the mouse clicks on its own when no one is there?

Of course, what he was looking at was not the mouse or the keyboard. It was difficult to tell whether the thing had been moved or tapped.

What he was looking at was whether the screen lit up.

Because these machines automatically turn off the display soon after entering power saving mode, the screen is all black.

If someone moves the mouse or types on the keyboard, the screen will light up immediately.

Unfortunately, after he ran over, all he saw was a row of quiet, unoperated computers, all with black screens.

Meng Fei really suspected that he had seen a ghost.

He thought rationally. With his amazing hand speed of secretly reading novels at work and decisively closing the screen before his boss appeared, he could quickly close the monitor in time before he ran over.

But who is operating it? If anyone other than him was in the office, the office would have called the police.

No one even opened the office door. It would be impossible if the door opened without making any noise.

Ability?

If there are special powers, such as invisibility...or silent space travel, or simply creating hallucinations, etc., it is entirely possible to create such an effect.

But what is a man with superpowers doing here, clicking the mouse and typing the keyboard? To scare me? If he has the guts to do it, he can just beat me and torture me for the file key.

Meng Fei sat on the chair, pushing himself with his feet and sliding quickly on the ground with the help of the wheels on the chair.

Soon he arrived at the window.

The so-called windows of office buildings are walls. The exterior wall of the entire building is completely made of glass. In front of him is the center of the sleeping city. Rows of buildings are like server cabinets with flashing signal lights.

There were thick metal beams across the glass window, just like a window sill. Meng Fei lay on the "window sill" and pretended to be asleep.

He squinted his eyes and looked at the glass window.

What he was looking at was not the window, but the scene inside the office reflected in the glass window.

Because the office is much brighter than outside, the glass window now looks like a dark mirror.

From here he could see a whole row of computers. The third group was the row where he and Xiao Han were sitting.

He was quite certain that the sound of the mouse and keyboard he just heard came from this row.

He may not be able to see the subtle movements of the mouse and keyboard in the reflection. But he can still see which one of the entire row of black screens lights up!
