Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag

"Doesn't this look like... the scribbles I used to play with when I was a kid?" I blurted out, pointing to the symbols on the document.

Gong Lin's face darkened: "Comrade Miao Qing, this is a serious moment, please be serious!" I coughed twice, "Ahem, just kidding to lighten the mood. But speaking of which, these symbols are indeed very strange, like some kind of special encryption method."

We stared at the document, unable to figure it out for a long time.

I scratched my head in frustration. "What kind of encryption method is this?! It's even harder to understand than Martian language!" Gong Lin also frowned, at a loss for what to do.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck me!

space!

Don't I have a lot of books that I collected from secondhand bookstores in my space?

Maybe we can find books on cryptography!

Thinking of this, I immediately slipped into the space.

"What the heck! What are you doing..." Gong Lin stared in disbelief as I disappeared into thin air and then reappeared out of thin air, with a thick book in my hand.

I waved the book in my hand and winked at him smugly: "Introduction to cryptography, want to learn more?"

Gong Lin looked at me, then at the book in my hand, his eyes filled with complex emotions: "You...who exactly are you?" I smiled mysteriously: "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed! In short, I have my own brilliant plan!" I quickly flipped through the book, searching for an encryption method similar to the symbols on the document.

Hard work pays off!

I finally found it!

"Found it! It's the Virginia Cipher!" I excitedly pointed to the contents of the book and showed it to Miya Rin.

Gong Lin leaned closer, carefully studying the contents of the book, his brows gradually relaxing.

Following the method in the book, we began to try to decipher it.

However, when we actually started using it, we discovered that the encryption method was far more complex than we had imagined...

I looked at Gong Lin, and he looked at me; the atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

"This..." I had barely opened my mouth when Gong Lin suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed intently on the entrance to the training ground—

“Someone’s coming!” he whispered.

I immediately became alert and followed his gaze. I saw Gong Lin's father, dressed in military uniform, walking in with a serious expression.

He walked straight up to us, his gaze sweeping back and forth between us and the documents on the table.

The atmosphere instantly became heavy, as if the air itself had frozen.

"What are you doing?" he asked in a deep voice, his tone carrying a hint of scrutiny.

I had a bad feeling. Could it be that the old man suspects us?

As I was trying to figure out how to explain, Gong Lin spoke first: "Dad, we're working on an encrypted file." His tone was calm, without the slightest hint of panic.

Gong Lin's father didn't speak, but stared at the symbols on the document for a long time, his brows furrowed.

I felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest; the atmosphere was so tense! Fortunately, after a while, Gong Lin's father was called out by the guards.

Attempts to decrypt the Virginia cipher have repeatedly failed. This encryption method is like a nested doll, with one layer inside another, making it incredibly complex.

"Damn it! This encryption method is even more complicated than I imagined!" I couldn't help but swear.

Gong Lin also frowned, clearly encountering a problem as well.

“A standard Virginia cipher couldn’t be this complex; there must be other encryption rules involved,” he said in a deep voice, his eyes fixed sharply on the document.

"Could it be multiple layers of encryption?" I suddenly thought of a possibility.

Gong Lin's eyes lit up. "That's possible! If we first use one encryption method and then use the Virginia cipher for a second encryption, we can explain its complexity."

His analysis gave me a sudden insight, and I immediately searched through my online space for other cryptography books, hoping to find some clues.

Gong Lin then began his analysis by examining the source of the documents and the forces that might be involved.

“This document was intercepted from overseas, and it’s very likely an internal communication of some spy organization,” he said in a deep voice. “If we can crack this document, we can obtain important intelligence.” His words filled me with even more motivation, and I quickly flipped through the books, hoping to find a breakthrough.

Suddenly, I came across an encryption method called "rail fence cipher," which can rearrange text to form new ciphertext.

"Gong Lin, look at this!" I said excitedly, pointing to the contents of the book.

"Rail fence cipher! If we encrypt it with a rail fence cipher first, and then encrypt it a second time with a Virginia cipher, we can explain the complexity of this document!" Gong Lin's eyes lit up. "Let's try it!" We immediately followed this approach to decrypt it, and sure enough, the symbols on the document began to appear regular.

Just as we were about to crack the code, Gong Lin's father reappeared.

He watched us work intently, and there was a hint of barely perceptible admiration in his eyes.

He walked over to us, his tone softening. "How is it? Any progress?" I was about to speak when Gong Lin spoke first: "Dad, we've found some clues, and I believe we'll be able to crack this document soon." His tone was firm and full of confidence.

Gong Lin's father nodded. "I believe you." He patted Gong Lin on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Just then, Gong Lin suddenly looked at me sharply, "Wait! Something seems off..." Gong Lin's words made my heart skip a beat.

The excitement I felt just now deflated instantly, like a punctured balloon.

I followed his gaze to the string of characters on the computer screen that I had painstakingly compiled and which seemed to have some pattern.

We initially thought it was a double encryption using both the rail fence cipher and the Virginia cipher, and victory seemed within reach, just one step away from success, but now…

"Something's not right?" I asked in a low voice, feeling a chill run down my spine.

It feels like playing a puzzle game where you're right in front of a treasure chest, and then suddenly a hidden level pops up – it's incredibly frustrating!

Gong Lin didn't speak, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly.

His long, slender fingers flew across the keyboard, lines of code cascading down like a waterfall, dazzling my eyes.

This guy, he actually looks kind of handsome when he's focused...

Wait, now's not the time to be a fangirl!

“I tried all possible key combinations using brute force, but none of them worked.” His tone was serious, with a hint of disbelief. “This encryption method… is unheard of.”

I felt like I'd been struck by lightning!

Unheard of?

!

These words were like a bucket of cold water, poured over me from head to toe.

Did all our previous efforts go to waste?

I felt like a deflated balloon, slumped into the chair.

Just when I was about to despair, Gong Lin suddenly turned to look at me, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

“Unless…” He paused, his gaze fixed intently on me, “unless…”

"Unless what?" I pressed urgently, feeling my heart skip a beat.

Please, can you stop panting when you speak?

He smiled slightly, reached out and ruffled my hair, his tone slightly teasing, "Unless... you're an idiot."

"You're the idiot!" I punched him angrily. This guy, he's still joking at a time like this!

"Alright, enough joking." He stopped smiling, his eyes turning serious. "Unless, this isn't any encryption method we know of at all."

"You mean..." My heart started racing, "This is... a completely new encryption method?"

He nodded, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"It seems we've met our match." He smiled confidently, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth.

Suddenly, he stood up abruptly, grabbed my hand, and pulled me toward the door.

"go!"

"where to?"

"Go meet someone."

He dragged me along, and I almost stumbled and fell face-first into the mud.

This guy is incredibly strong!

After finally regaining my balance, I asked breathlessly, "Hey, slow down! Who are we going to see? Why are you being so mysterious!"

Gong Lin turned and glanced at me, a mysterious smile playing on his lips: "You'll find out when you get there."

This guy's keeping us in suspense!

I grumbled inwardly, but my pace quickened involuntarily.

Curiosity is a deadly thing!

Gong Lin led her through winding corridors until they finally stopped in front of a heavy wooden door.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door, his tone respectful: "Dad, it's me."

"Come in." A deep and authoritative voice came from inside the door, making me unconsciously straighten my back.

Gong Lin pushed open the door, and I followed him inside.

The room was dimly lit and filled with a faint sandalwood scent.

Commander Gong was sitting at an old-fashioned desk, holding a document in his hand, his brows furrowed.

When he saw us come in, he put down the documents in his hand, his gaze swept over us, and finally landed on my face, his eyes filled with a scrutinizing look.

I felt like I had been X-rayed, and I felt extremely uncomfortable.

"Dad, we've made some new discoveries," Gong Lin said directly, and then gave a detailed report on the problems we encountered and our new conjectures.

Commander Gong listened attentively, nodding from time to time, and occasionally asking some pointed questions.

I dared not be negligent and answered each question carefully, striving to demonstrate my knowledge and abilities.

The discussion lasted for a long time, and the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed.

I discovered that although Commander Gong appears serious, he is actually a very wise and open-minded person.

His attitude toward me gradually changed from initial scrutiny to appreciation and recognition.

“It seems that our previous thinking was indeed somewhat limited.” Commander Gong pondered for a moment and said slowly, “Xiao Miao’s analysis makes a lot of sense. Perhaps we should think about the problem from a different angle.”

Hearing him affirm my idea, I felt a surge of secret joy.

It seems that my role as an "outsider" is quite significant!

In the following period, the three of us re-examined all the clues and, combined with new discoveries, tried to decipher the mystery again.

This time, we're making great progress and feel like we're getting closer and closer to the truth.

"Wait!" Gong Lin suddenly spoke, interrupting my thoughts. "I think I've thought of something..." He stood up abruptly and paced back and forth in the room, his brows furrowed, as if he were pondering some difficult problem.

Seeing his anxious expression, I also felt nervous.

Has some new problem arisen?

"I've got it!" Gong Lin suddenly stopped, his eyes lighting up. "I've got it! We've overlooked a crucial piece of information!"

He walked to the computer and started typing rapidly, lines of code leaping across the keyboard like sprites.

"It's done!" he shouted excitedly. "Finally, it's solved!"

I couldn't wait to lean over and look at the computer screen.

A string of clear text appeared on the screen—the encrypted content we had been searching for!

"Amazing!" I couldn't help but exclaim, my heart filled with joy and a sense of accomplishment.

Just as we were basking in the joy of success...

"Shh..." Gong Lin suddenly made a shushing gesture, looking warily out the window, "Did you hear anything?"
