Episode 215 Code that should not exist

‘Hajime Terauchi?’

It was definitely an unfamiliar name. But it wasn’t a completely unfamiliar name.

‘Hajime…’ The name is the same as Hajime Okada, only the last name is different from the one I saw in my lost dream. ‘

After seeing the lost memories last time, Dojun looked for ‘Hajime Okada’. However, among ‘Hajime Okada’, born in 1976, living in Japan, there was no one that Dojun was looking for.

‘In the end, I gave up looking for it halfway, thinking it was an alias. But what if only the last name is different and the first name is the same?’

Junyeop looked at Dojun’s frozen face and asked.

“mister? “Do you know someone?”

“Well, I’ll have to check that out. Junyeop, do you have any pictures of someone named Hajime Terauchi?”

“no. But I’ll be home. Even if you don’t have it, if you look for it, you’ll find it right away. why? I need?”

“huh. Please be sure to ask for something.”

“lol. all right. “I’ll send it to you as soon as I get home.”

After saying that, Junyeop took a taxi and left. Song Yu-taek approached Do-jun, who was watching the taxi leave.

“Why are you standing there so blankly?”

“Oh, sorry.”

“What are you sorry about? By the way, do you really know this person named Terauchi Hajime? If so, I’d like to see your face too. “If you’re really the main culprit of this incident, I think a punch to the back of the head will make you feel better.”

Dojun chuckled and then said.

“I don’t really know anyone. I’m not sure yet. “If you’re the person I’m looking for, I just want to ask you something.”

“What?”

Dojun wanted to know why Hajime deceived him and destroyed Team Leader Yang in his ‘lost memories’.

But I couldn’t say that, so I gave another reason that Song Yu-taek could understand.

“Hacking skills.”

“ah! Well, I thought we had pretty good security, from firewalls to network separation, but it was completely breached by this guy.”

“It is a technology that was ahead of its time. As I was competing in this cyber war, I became curious. How did a man named Hajime create this hacking tool and defense system? “There are a lot of things I want to ask.”

“Would you like me to answer if you ask me?”

Dojun grinned.

“All you have to do is give me no choice but to answer. I’m sure he’s curious too. “How did I stop it?”

“haha! yes. “Even if it were me, I couldn’t help but be curious.”

Song Yu-taek laughed out loud and then continued.

“Hajime? Anyway, no matter how great he was, he couldn’t beat CEO Hwang in the end, right? “Whether it’s offense or defense.”

“no. I didn’t do that alone… … .”

“Ah, that’s enough. “Let me ask you one question, is GUARD CAT also Hwang’s company?”

GUARD CAT was a company mainly active in the United States. There were several companies using it in Korea, but it was not yet a famous company in Korea.

“… yes.”

“Ha, now you’re finally reporting this.”

“I wasn’t trying to hide it.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. By the way, I guess GUARD CAT will be a big hit thanks to this?”

That was true. This cyber war between Korea and Japan attracted the attention of IT companies around the world, and the GUARD CAT security system, which blocked hacking tools that destroyed existing game companies, became famous as the best security system in the world.

It was natural that we received a ton of purchase inquiries.

“… I heard there are a lot of inquiries coming in. Especially in Korea.”

“Hehe, don’t forget that it’s my help.”

It was Song Yu-taek who contacted the IT company representative and had him install a temporary version of GUARD CAT.

“It can’t be. “I will treat you big sometime.”

“haha. I’ll wait for that day. By the way, do you think it would be possible to create a vaccine with this level of technology? “Aren’t they making vaccines?”

GUARD CAT was not a company that produced computer antivirus. The main task was to build a security system for companies.

The key was to inform the company of loopholes and countermeasures in the company’s security network through white hackers and to establish a DDoS defense system.

“If we even make a vaccine, it would be too much work.”

“hmm. okay? I think differently. Don’t you think CEO Hwang needs it too? The game guard system. After going through this incident, I thought that GUARD CAT could create a really great guard system.”

Dojun immediately understood what Song Yutaek was saying.

‘hmm. It’s the game guard system.’

The game was exposed to numerous hacks.

Although the game itself developed security logic to prepare for various hacking, the game was initially protected using the ‘Game Guard System’ developed by anti-virus companies.

“that… “I’ll think about it.”

“okay. Be sure to think positively. “I also want to be free from that damn game hacking.”

Dojun chuckled.

“It’s truly a dream-like story.”

Do-jun said hello to Song Yu-taek and returned to the company. And when I finished eating dinner after work, I received a call from Junyeop.

* * *

[Junyeop: Sorry for contacting you late! My mom told me to go to an English academy. Phew, English is really boring… … .]

Dojun chuckled after seeing Junyeop’s message.

[Dojun: Don’t you want to go to MS?]

[Junyeop: MS? Are you talking about Microsoft?]

[Dojun: Yes. If you are good at English, I can take you with me next time. Well, you know what? There are so many pretty programmers at MS.]

[Junyeop: I will! I’ll do it! Please wait one year. I am confident that I can speak English at the level of a native speaker.]

Dojun laughed to himself.

‘Easy bastard. But there aren’t many beautiful women in MS. The most beautiful woman among them is my lover. Still, if you learn English like this, you will thank me later.’

[Dojun: Yes. Don’t wait for that day, are you home now?]

[Junyeop: Yes! And I found a photo. I will send it to you right away.]

A photo file was sent via messenger. Dojun immediately downloaded the photo, enlarged it to its maximum size, and looked at the photo.

‘It’s Hajime!’

Dojun recognized it as soon as he saw it. Although she didn’t have the mustache that was Hajime’s trademark in ‘Lost Memories’, her face was the same.

It seemed like if 10 years passed like this, Dojun would look exactly like the ‘Hajime’ he saw in his memory.

[Junyeop: Mister? Is this the person you are looking for?]

[Dojun: I think that’s right.]

[Junyeop: Wow! How do you know? ah! You know because we work in the same field, right? I did a search and found that this person’s job is a game developer.]

This was something Dojun could never have imagined.

[Dojun: Game developer?]

[Junyeop: Yes. Well, the game was ruined due to bugs as soon as it was opened. Anyway, he was a game client developer. So you know, right?]

[Dojun: Well… It’s similar.]

[Junyeop: Hehe. I got it right again. As expected, my reasoning skills are horrifying even when I think about it!]

[Dojun: Yes, you are Conan.]

[Junyeop: By the way, but do you know what? This man, Hajime, came from a completely crazy family. I don’t think anything good will come from being close.]

Jun-yeop told Do-jun what he had learned.

‘Your great-grandfather was the first governor during the Japanese colonial period? Hajime’s father is also a member of the National Assembly?’

Dojun searched for Hajime’s father.

– As violent crimes committed by foreigners living in Japan continue, there is a risk of causing unrest in the event of an earthquake.

– Comfort women were arranged by merchants, not by the state.

It was truly a machine for making absurd remarks.

[Dojun: Thank you. Thanks to you, it was a great help!]

[Junyeop: Hehe. This is not even a problem.]

[Dojun: I will send you 10 tickets to Lotto World in Jamsil, so come play with your friends.]

[Junyeop: Wow. Thank you, CEO.]

[Dojun: Only in situations like this is he a representative.]

Do-jun ended the conversation with Jun-yeop and recalled his ‘lost memories’.

‘ha. In Hajime’s lost memories, everything was fake.’

Starting with the name, everything he told Dojun was fake.

‘and… Even the good intentions you showed me.’

In his lost memories, Dojun gained strength thanks to Hajime’s good will. But it was all a lie.

‘Why on earth is that like that?’

Dojun thought about Hajime’s situation for a moment.

‘Defeated in the Battle of Gyeongin. And a family atmosphere that hates Korea. no way? ‘Because you can’t stand losing to Korea?’

I thought it could be done, but something was lacking. It seemed like there had to be a more pressing reason.

‘I can’t do this. ‘I need to meet Hajime in person.’

Dojun really wanted to meet Hajime of this era and ask him why.

‘And that hacking tool, I made it myself. As President Song said, if it is not an individual, then there is someone behind it.’

The next day, Dojun left for Japan.

* * *

After arriving in Japan, Dojun went to Hajime’s house.

‘Is this where Hajime lives?’

The place where Hajime lived was one of the tallest mansions in Tokyo. Compared to Korea, it was almost like a tower palace.

As a result, security was so tight that it was not easy to get inside.

‘Well, there’s no need to go in, right?’

Dojun took out a copycat and gave an order.

‘Copycat, it’s the top floor. ‘Please connect to all the cell phones and computers there.’

[Meow!]

The copycat ran down the road and climbed the exterior wall of the mansion. It was so fast that the copycat was no longer visible after a few seconds.

Dojun went into a nearby coffee shop and waited for the information that Copycat would send. Fortunately, the copycat sent me the information around the time the coffee I ordered came out.

The first thing I saw was a list of cell phone calls and message contents.

‘huh? This doesn’t look like Hajime’s cell phone?’

The majority of call recipients were ‘members of the National Assembly’ or ‘corporate executives.’

‘This looks like Hajime’s father’s cell phone, not Hajime’s?’

As if to prove it, the name ‘Terauchi Hajime’ was written on the contact list.

‘Send device information to Copycat.’

The copycat sent the information right away. It was a computer desktop, and it was clean, as if it had barely been used.

‘what?’

Dojun looked through the trash can and mailbox. She was almost clean.

‘A programmer who just turned 30 has a computer this clean?’

In Dojun’s experience, that could never have been the case.

‘what? By any chance, Hajime doesn’t use a computer at home?’

The thought that it could happen suddenly occurred to me that it was 3 PM.

‘ah! ‘Maybe he went to work.’

Dojun thought it was because Hajime wasn’t home and waited until night.

However, Copycat did not send any new device information until midnight.

‘Are you working overtime today?’

Dojun waited until the next day. However, the next day, the copycat sent only the same information.

‘what? What happened? ‘Do you think Hajime doesn’t live here?’

Dojun contacted Junyeop and asked him to find out if ‘Hajime’ had moved.

[Junyeop: Mister. Weird. Hajime, since March 2nd, he has not sent any messenger or e-mail from his account.]

Dojun’s expression became serious.

‘After March 2nd? what? ‘Are you so shocked that you cut off all contact?’

As Dojun pondered, Hajime’s father came to mind.

‘Even if I cut off contact with other people, I will still do it with my parents. Copycat. Let me know every time you get a call from Hajime on Hajime’s father’s cell phone!’

[Meow!]

It was the next afternoon that I received a response from Copycat.

[father. I finished moving to my mother’s house in Fukushima. I’m late to pack up, so I’ll contact you only now.]

Dojun’s eyes lit up when he saw the message.

‘You moved to Fukushima!’

Fortunately, the address of the Fukushima house was in Hajime’s father’s contact information. The address was given to the moving company.

Dojun went straight to that address.

“ah!”

Do-jun sighed as he moved to the address.

Hajime’s mother’s house seemed like a very nice mansion. The problem was that the mansion was right near the beach.

‘Isn’t the Fukushima earthquake next year?’

From my lost memories, it seems like Hajime wasn’t in Fukushima when the earthquake occurred, or even if he was, he survived.

Dojun called Copycat near Hajime’s house.

‘First, I need to check if Hajime is in this house. Copycat, connect to the devices and retrieve information.’

[Meow!]

After a while, a lot of information appeared before Dojun’s eyes. It was cell phone call history and computer desktop.

‘It’s Hajime’s cell phone!’

The message Hajime sent to his father was in the sent message box.

Moreover, ‘Visual Studio’ was installed on the computer desktop. This meant that the user was a programmer.

‘Hajime is here!’

Dojun was very excited to finally be able to see Hajime.

‘But it looks like you’re alone?’

The information sent by the copycat included the cell phone information of ‘Hajime’s mother’.

Dojun was thinking about ignoring it, but then he suddenly saw the message box.

“uh?”

For a moment, Dojun paused.

[My son Hajime, never be discouraged. Failure once does not mean failure forever. Even though you are going down to Fukushima, you will be able to come back up to Tokyo. Cheer up, Hajime. Her mother goes to see her often.]

That was a message Hajime’s mother sent to Hajime a few days ago.

‘Could it be that you came down to Fukushima because of the failure? Because of this Battle of Gyeongin?’

At that moment, Dojun opened his eyes.

“uh… no way… … ? “Hajime’s mother didn’t die during the Fukushima earthquake, right?”

Looking at the message further, it seemed that Hajime’s mother was usually in Tokyo and tried to come see Hajime about once a week.

‘The great Fukushima earthquake occurred on March 11, 2011. It was Friday.’

Although it was a past life, Dojun remembered that day clearly. Because he was that shocked.

‘What if, what if. If Hajime’s mother had died that day… … ? Then what was Hajime like?’

At first, I blamed the natural disaster, but later I thought I would vent my anger somewhere else.

‘Wouldn’t he blame the person who sent him to Fukushima? Looking at the message, I don’t think I can blame my father, and if so, there is only one person. Team leader Yang Ha-seong!’

The person who led the Great Battle of Gyeongin in his previous life was Yang Ha-seong.

Only then did Dojun understand everything. But not all questions were answered.

‘But how?’

Dojun recalled his lost memories.

The project I saw in my lost memories was being carried out under strict security. It made no sense to participate in such a project with a ‘false identity’.

‘no way… Was this also forged through hacking?’

Normally it would have made no sense, but Dojun had already seen the power of the hacking tool used by Hajime.

‘If there is a force behind Hajime like President Song said, it might be possible.’

Dojun became anxious. Dojun went into a nearby hotel and he spoke to the copycat.

‘Copycat. ‘Show me the list of programs on my computer.’

After a while, a list of programs installed on Hajime’s computer appeared before his eyes.

Do-jun widened his eyes while watching one of the programs.

‘DD-10?’

Dojun shook his head.

‘This doesn’t make sense? Hey, probably not, they just happen to have the same name.’

Dojun immediately told Copycat to ‘COPY & PAST’ the DD-10.

After a while, a copy of DD-10 appeared on Dojun’s laptop. Dojun took a deep breath.

‘Probably not, definitely not.’

Dojun said to Copycat.

“Copycat, reverse engineer it for me.”

[Meow!]

After a while, the source code started appearing in ‘Visual Studio’ installed on the laptop.

And Dojun, who saw part of the sauce, jumped up.

“Nonsense!”

Messy code there that no one else will ever notice. However, in this life, there was a code that Dojun had never written.

That was code that should never have existed.
