Majeneral Wang stubbed out a Zhongnanhai Premium and was just about to leave his office wheenant Liu came rushing into his office carrying a long ream of puter printout.
“What do you mean by this indolence, lieutenant?” the majeneral growled.
“Apologies sir, but you have to see this,” the lieutenant said panting heavily. He had raced all the way from the secret facility withihird Department’s pound where a handful of the PLA’s brightest teical minds were w on the majeneral’s personal projects. Projects, which, when annouo the authorities in Zhongnanhai, would make the majeneral a hero in People’s bbr>?.</abbr>Liberation Army and nationwide.
“It better be good, Lieutenant Liu. I am late for dinner and my wife doesn’t like that,” the majeneral said with a wry smile. Lieutenant Liu cursed to himself. He had been in the offiore thay-four hours ing up the majeneral’s dirty work. Dinners had gone cold twice over. His wife was not returning phone calls and he badly o cate sleep.
“Sir, this is the graph showing data traffic flows withiwork. Look what happened five minutes ago,” the lieutenant said pointing at a spike in the graph that was almost vertical and disappeared off the edge of the paper.
“A software glitch?”
“I don’t think so, sir. At last t we had 2008 authorized subjects, who of course are all ated for. I just checked. Look at this sir. These are the last two updates of the population figures,” Lieutenant Liu said, shakily pointing at a row of numbers. The majeneral’s eyes popped wide open. The printout read:
Population: 2008 [Last Updated at 19:28:02]
Population: 1,000,000,002,008 [Last Updated at 19:29:08]
Population: 2,009 [Last Updated at 19:29:09]
Population: 2,009 [Last Updated at 19:30:09]
Population: 2,009 [Last Updated at 19:31:09]
Majeneral icked up his pack of Zhongnanhai Premiums and lit anarette. He let the tobaoke circle his lungs and then exhaled deeply.
“Virus?”
“Could be but I doubt it. A virus would not have an impa the population figures. To do so, it would have to have intricate knowledge of the system and that is impossible.”
“You fet about our versation earlier. There are two soles out there that may have access to our system. Someone may have placed a virus in the system. I have given instrus for the soles to be retrieved but it is not going to be that easy to find them. It might take time. In the mean time, I want you to do the best you to iigate this anomaly and put a stop to it. In a few days it will be time to go to Shanghai and we ’t afford to have any glitches then. Uand?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Put your best men on it. Send them in there and don’t let them e back out until they have discovered what happened here. I want those population figures back down. What we are w on has great implications for our try, Lieutenant Liu. I am sure you uand that.”
“I do sir,” said Lieutenant Liu as he ly folded the printout. He was thinking of the implications for his marriage as he left the office.
Majeneral Wang cursed under his breath. The assassier have some good news soohought as he ground the stub of his cigarette into a pulp in the overflowing ashtray. He moved quickly to his puter sole, pulled it out of hibernation aered a secret address at the and lihe majeneral theered a password to the system only he had access to. A grainy video s popped up and it gradually became crystal clear. Th<samp></samp>e shaky motion of the picture meant that the assassin was on the move. The majeneral was seeily what the assassin saw. He was seeing the assassin’s augmented reality, a killer’s point-of-view.
“Where are yht now?”
“Hong Kong. Kowloon side,” the assassin whispered into the microphone embedded on the device around his neck. He brought up an A>9９ｌｉb?</a>R overlay so the majeneral could see from the readout that he was on Nathan Road.
“Why there? You are not thinking of ing home are you?”
“I wish, sir. It looks like that might not happen for a while. Hong Kong is some kind of nodal point acc to the analysis.”
“Why is that?”
“No idea. The AIs sehat Hong Kong will be an important point in several respects and multiple sario modelers firm it. At least two of our quarry may e through the SAR over the few days. That is the predi. I have been stantly cheg the updates. The probabilities just keep gettier.”
“Good. You must be as thh as you were last time. A lot is riding on this.”
“Of course.”
“And then you go home. I am arranging a little surprise oher side. Once you are home, it will be your duty to look out for its is.”
“Not sure I uand, sir.”
“Believe me you will, when you are dohe majeneral hung up and the assassin stood there w whether the surprise had anything to do with the huge shadow he had seen earlier today that had blahe whole of cyberspaly to disappear as quickly as it had arrived. Whatever he had seen was definitely not human. The hairs on the back of the assassin’s neck were standing on end as he walked slowly down Nathan Road, past the steps of the main gate to Kowloon Park.
