Chapter 47: Genius Hacker Shin Jiha

1.

The sex that started at dawn continued all the way until the evening.

Every time Ciels masochistic tendencies were stimulated, she tightened down below. I enjoyed the sensation so much that I aggressively groped her here and there.

As a result, her body ended up with red palm prints all over. It was quite fun, like coloring on a blank white canvas.

If someone were to see these handprints, they might misunderstand, but I was innocent.

Because every time I tried to restrain myself a bit, Ciel would plead,

Just a little more, please.

In contrast to Ciel, Serena preferred lovey-dovey sex over rough handling.

Whenever I ejaculated inside her, she would wrap her legs tightly around me, pressing my buttocks as if she couldnt help but love the sensation.

Receiving that passionate embrace, it felt like she was cheering me on to climax more, so I could do it with even greater pleasure.

Hmm

It was still early evening, but Serena and Ciel were already fast asleep.

It was too early to call it a day, so I decided to finish one task at a time that I could do.

What I could do now was

2.

I walked down the hallway of D-Mart, holding five SSDs that I had taken.

These were all taken from the computers at the Paju MHC (Make Human Company) warehouse.

I needed more high-quality Real Dolls to use my abilities. However, all six Real Dolls in the domestic MHC warehouse had been destroyed.

Fortunately, Ciel, who had been kept separately for special inspection, could be salvaged and turned into a human, but it was regrettable that I couldnt get any more Real Dolls.

But

What if I could obtain information about the Real Dolls that have already been delivered or were in the process of being delivered?

In this zombie apocalypse world, the likelihood was high that the owners of the Real Dolls had either abandoned them to flee to shelters or had already died.

After all, they wouldnt have headed to the shelters carrying Real Dolls made in a 1:1 ratio with actual people while zombies were swarming outside.

In other words, if I found their addresses and paid a visit, theres a very high chance that unclaimed Real Dolls would be waiting there.

With this thought, I tried turning on all the computers in MHCs warehouse, but

All of them had security programs installed that blocked access to information without an employee ID.

So, I reluctantly took only the secondary storage devices, the SSDs, just in case someone who knew how to hack might be able to extract the information.

And there was one person at our D-Mart shelter who claimed to know how to hack.

That person was

Knock, knock, knock.

I knocked on the door and waited. A timid female voice came from inside.

Wh-who is it?

Its me. Kim Doha.

Captain!? Wh-what brings you here all of a sudden

Creak.

Who was revealed through the opening door was a woman with purple hair, dressed entirely in a black tracksuit.

She was Shin Jiha.

3.

My first meeting with Shin Jiha was quite an impressive one.

Mistaking me as an ability user under Choi Cheolnam, who ruled D-Mart, she had suddenly ambushed me.

Fortunately, Serena protected me, so I didnt die, but even thinking about it now, it was a chilling attack.

The reason why I, who belonged to the considerably strong category even without Serena or Ciel, almost fell victim to her blade was because of Shin Jihas special ability.

The D-Class Special Ability, [Shadow Walking].

In simple terms, it was the ability to blend into shadows, and the deeper the shadows, the more the ability was strengthened.

At that time, I had caused a blackout in the mart to attack the enemies, and I was in pitch-black darkness, making it the perfect situation for me to become Shin Jihas prey.

Of course, after that misunderstanding was cleared up, Shin Jiha repeatedly apologized every time we met, and we built a bond as we worked together on the extermination team.

Shin Jiha has quite a timid personality, so it was hard to strike up a conversation at first, but now I can confidently say we are quite close.

I might be one of the few people she can initiate a conversation with.

Captain?

Shin Jiha looked up at me with her purple eyes.

[Shadow Walking] had turned the color of her hair and eyes to purple when she awakened it

Without hesitation, I entered the room.

For Shin Jiha, who always seemed unconfident, to say that she was good at something herself, so I excitedly asked.

So, if I have anything computer-related that I dont know, can I come to you?

Yes.

Shin Jiha turned her head and added in a tiny voice.

You can come to my room.

5.

It was only a short while ago that we had this conversation. I never thought I would be asking for her help so quickly.

So youre saying these SSDs are encrypted, and you want to read the internal data?

Thats right.

Where did you get them?

I hesitated for a moment.

Should I say I took them from the computer in the warehouse of a Real Doll company?

Its a secret.

Ill give it a try.

Shin Jiha started booting two computers simultaneously, beginning to examine each SSD.

Do these computers serve different purposes?

Yes. They are divided for connecting to the external network and for use only within the internal network. The one connecting to the external network tends to be more vulnerable to attacks.

As I stood dumbfounded, Shin Jiha rephrased it simply for me.

One is connected to the internet, and the other one isnt.

Aha.

She should have said that sooner. It was simpler when she said it.

Shin Jiha plugged one of the SSDs I brought into an external connection port on the main unit. It was the computer used for connecting to the external network.

A window requiring administrator access appeared on the monitor screen. Then Shin Jiha opened a small drawer on her desk.

Swish-

Inside were over a dozen similarly looking USBs.

Wow What are all these?

These are hacking programs I made a while ago. Ill try each one, and if all of them fail, Ill have to find a vulnerability and create a new one.

Wow

Complex codes started to scramble up the monitor screen.

During this process, Shin Jiha only occasionally typed y or n; she didnt seem to be doing much else. Probably because she was just executing programs that had been previously created.

Shin Jihas room must have rarely had guests, as there was only one chair.

Since she was sitting in front of the computer, I stood behind the backrest, bending over to watch the monitor.

Standing like that, I

Just below my face, the top of Shin Jihas head began to emit a pleasant scent.

Almost like the smell of grapes What kind of shampoo is this?

Hmm

As I quietly enjoyed the fragrance, Shin Jiha suddenly realized what I was doing. Startled, she covered her head with both hands.

Wh-why are you smelling me all of a sudden!

No, it just smelled nice What shampoo do you use?

I-I dont know. Please, dont stand here; go, go over there

Shin Jiha pointed at the bed.

Everything was in shades of gray, from the bed cover to the blanket. If asked to guess based on the bed alone, one might think it belonged to a man.

Please go sit there. If youre tired, you can lie down too.

Really? Thanks.

I didnt refuse and went to sit on the bed. Its likely I would disturb her if I kept hovering around while she was hacking

But as soon as I sat down on the bed, the scent I had smelled earlier began to rise again.

Sniff, sniff Was that not the smell of shampoo?

Could it be, perhaps, Shin Jihas body scent?

Why, why are you smelling the bed, too!!

Oops.
