Bloody Monday 80

Chapter 80

51

J: Thanks for the other day, "Falcon".

J: I really...
J: had a rough time thanks to you calling for "him".

Fujimaru: ...I kept my promise,
Fujimaru: "J".

Fujimaru: What is the true meaning of...
Fujimaru: "Bloody Monday"?
Title: File 80 An Impregnable Clue

52

J: From knowing that there is a "true meaning"...
J: I assume that you've already predicted that it isn't what...
J: you guessed it was.

J: "Bloody Monday" isn't...
J: a virus terror attack like you thought it was...
J: from watching the "Christmas Massacre" video.

Text on Otoya's paper: Let me listen, too.

Fujimaru: ...Yeah.
Fujimaru: Since there was that much emphasis on the virus...
Fujimaru: I was sure that's what it was...

Fujimaru: But if "Bloody Monday" isn't a virus terror attack...
Text on pad of paper: You can listen with this.
Fujimaru: why were you so desperate to recover the "Christmas Massacre" video?

53

J: I can't tell you that.

Fujimaru: What? Are you planning on breaking your promise!?
Fujimaru: In that case, I have an idea as to what to do!
Fujimaru: I've got my hands on a broadcasting site on your terrorist cult's underground network.

Fujimaru: I'll put the fact that you deceived your comrades and made a deal with me...
Fujimaru: just to extend your own life up on that network.

Fujimaru: And then they'll hate you even more than us.
Fujimaru: Fanatics like them hate traitors even more than their enemies.

Fujimaru: No matter where you run, as long as some of the believers remain, they'll always be persistently pursuing you...
J: Okay, that's enough of that.
J: I'll keep my promise even if you don't get so ridiculously frantic.

J: If I wasn't going to, I wouldn't have called you.

54

J: Even to you...it looked like I was killed by Kujou Otoya instead of faking my suicide.
J: There was quite a bit of merit in just running away like this.
J: But I had a reason to call you and keep my promise.
J: I want to remove myself from this ridiculous farce as completely as possible.

Fujimaru: Then hurry up and-
J: But...

J: It's not like my escape is complete yet.

J: So I want to buy myself a little more time.
J: And...

J: If I just told you the truth directly...
J: Then there would be a possibility that "they" would hear that..
J: I made a deal with you...
J: and that I'm still alive.

Fujimaru: ...What do you mean?
J: I can't tell you that, either.

55

Fujimaru: What the hell! If you can't tell me anything, this is pointless!
Fujimaru: You couldn't mean that there's still a spy near me, could you?

J: I'll tell you a way that, if you have "Third-i" investigate it,
J: you'll definitely arrive at the truth.
J: How about that?

Text on Otoya's paper: Can we trust him?

Fujimaru: ...We have no choice.
Fujimaru: Then hurry up and tell me what it is!

J: The answer...
J: lies in the "Christmas Massacre" video.

56

Fujimaru: What?
J: Show it to a proper virus specialist.

J: If you investigate the questions that rise to the surface...
J: you should arrive at the truth.

Fujimaru: D-don't joke around!
Fujimaru: You had me delete that.
Fujimaru: And the original was taken, so we don't have it anymore!
Fujimaru: Or do you have it?
J: Unfortunately, I don't have a copy.

J: But...
J: Isn't there a place...
J: where a copy still remains?

Fujimaru: Eh...?

57

J: Former KGB Headquarters.
J: The current Russian Federal Security Service's data archive.
J: Can't you...
J: just take it from there?

Fujimaru: Wha...?
Fujimaru: Are you crazy!?
Fujimaru: They've got more security there than at the Pentagon!!

J: Good luck.
Fujimaru: W-wait.
Fujimaru: Hey.

Otoya: ...Fujimaru.
Otoya: Give me the phone.

Fujimaru: Otoya...

58

Otoya: "J".
SFX: *click*
SFX: Doo

SFX: Doo
SFX: Doo
SFX: Doo

Fujimaru: Otoya?

Otoya: ...The hacking.
Fujimaru: Eh

Otoya: You're gonna hack into...
Otoya: Russia, right?
Otoya: Hurry, Fujimaru.

Fujimaru: Y...
Fujimaru: Yeah...

59

J: ...Here!
Kid: Nn!

J: Thank you for letting me use your phone.
J: You were a real help.
J: Not having a phone while on a trip can be a problem.

Kid: Okay!
Kid: I'm glad things worked out!!
Text above other kid: Thanks.
Other kid: The ice cream's really good!

J: I didn't want to use my...
J: precious anonymous cell phone for this.

Michael: So "Falcon"...
Michael: isn't going to tell "Third-i" about us?
J: Won't he, though? He likes to talk.

Text right of J: ...It's melted.
J: But...
J: I doubt he'll tell them right away.

60

J: If he said he had made a deal with a terrorist and let him get away...
J: no matter how much favor they show him in "Third-i", he would lose all trust immediately.
Michael: From what you said, he shouldn't think that "K" could be near him, but didn't you tell him...
Michael: that there's still a spy among them?

J: True enough.
J: But...

J: That's not a problem, is it?
J: The new master is there because she's confidence she won't be found out.

Michael: Is...
Michael: your arm okay?

61

J: ...I was shocked.
J: I didn't think he'd really shoot.
Michael: ...What are you saying?
Michael: You clearly provoked him.

J: Well...
J: Yeah.

J: I think...
J: I pissed him off a little.

J: If I...
J: hadn't been wearing a bulletproof vest, I would've been killed.

J: Well...having it done that way made the process of ...
J: falling into the river much more realistic than with a faked suicide.

J: I'd say I'm lucky to have only gotten this level of injury.

62

Michael: Well...
Michael: I guess.
J: But...
J: you really saved me.

J: Michael-kun, if you hadn't...
J: gone down before hand with the diving equipment "Falcon" had prepared for you...
J: I might have really died since the river's water level had risen from the rain.

Michael: Since you didn't come up from the water, you were thought to have drowned.
Michael: We are now...
Michael: people who do not exist in this world.

Michael: So how are we going to escape this country...?
Michael: When are you going to tell me, "J"?

J: Don't worry.
J: I'm already made a deal with people who are used to secretly...
J: going in and out of this country.

63

Michael: What are you...
Michael: talking about?

J: A "nation"...
J: I guess?

Otoya: You're going up against the headquarters of the Russian intelligence agency.
Otoya: And you're doing the hacking here?
Fujimaru: I'm here because they're so formidable.
Fujimaru: If I was to fail and they found out who I was, I might end up being killed by a Russian spy.
Small text in the left of Fujimaru's bubble: Someone said that Japan was a spy's paradise.

64

Otoya: You'll be fine on a park bench?

Fujimaru: In an open park like this...
Fujimaru: the signal from the wireless LANs of the companies and households around will reach here.

Fujimaru: I'll switch between them at various points...
Fujimaru: and hack into the Russian server!

Fujimaru: If I do that, even if they find out I was hacking from here...
Fujimaru: there's no way for them to find out who I am.
Fujimaru: And from what I can see, there are no surveillance cameras here.

Fujimaru: Okay, I've found 12 wireless routers.
Fujimaru: 7 of them have strong signals.
Fujimaru: I've gotten into those 7.
Fujimaru: Now I'll continue on switching which router I use after each wall I destroy...

65

Fujimaru: Now the main server of an intelligence agency is set so that...
Fujimaru: it will shut out even people on the inside when someone tries to improperly access it.
Fujimaru: I couldn't get anywhere when I tried it before.

Otoya: You've tried this before?
Fujimaru: Yeah.
Fujimaru: I've tried all sorts of hacking.

Fujimaru: Trying a direct battle of skills is fun...
Fujimaru: but since we don't have time, I'll use a much simpler way of getting in.

Fujimaru: I call it...
Fujimaru: Trojan Horse: Human Version.

Fujimaru: First, I hack into one of Moscow's major public wireless LANs and scan the wireless router of a cafe nearby the FSB building.
Fujimaru: ...Found it! So far, so good!

66-67

Fujimaru: Spies and intelligence agents are still human.
Fujimaru: They have to at least eat breakfast.
Small text in the left of Fujimaru's bubble: It's 7 in the morning there.

Fujimaru: And if there's someone connected to the cafe's LAN privately...
Fujimaru: ...Okay, found one!
Fujimaru: I'm in!
Otoya: How do you know he's part of the intelligence agency?
Otoya: What you hacked into before had access to a broader range of people.
Fujimaru: I scanned for a Russian Intelligence Agent computer identifier code.
Fujimaru: I can even tell where specifically he works...Here, Otoya. How do you read this?

Otoya: It translates to..."Head Intelligence Section".

Fujimaru: All riiight!!
Fujimaru: We got someone perfect on the first try!!!

68

Fujimaru: ...Okay.
Fujimaru: I'm giving him the trojan horse.

Fujimaru: When he enters the building...
Fujimaru: and he connects that computer to the internal server...

Fujimaru: Okay.
Fujimaru: I've captured it!!

Fujimaru: After coming this far, the security on the closed server shouldn't be too strict.
Fujimaru: From the subnet to the router...and in there...
Fujimaru: Okay, I opened it!

Fujimaru: Okaaay, here it comes.
Fujimaru: I'll use that intelligence agent's access password...

69

Otoya: ...Well?

Fujimaru: ...It's here.
Fujimaru: It's not even encrypted; it's just a plain video file.
Fujimaru: "The Christmas Massacre".

Specialist: ...Hmm.
Specialist: Most of the people recorded here aren't victims of a virus.
Kirishima: What do you mean by that, doctor!?

Specialist: It's outside my area of expertise, so I can't say for sure...
Specialist: But these are most likely...

70

Specialist: symptoms of...
Specialist: being exposed to powerful radiation.
