Tokyo: The Player Behind the Scenes.

Chapter 58, Section 57: Cellphone Password

Waiting for a call, do you need your mobile phone?

Uesugi immediately handed over his phone, which he was using as a flashlight: "Do you need a phone?"

The girl glanced at it and shook her head: "I need it, but I don't know the unlock code for this phone."

simple!
She hadn't tried to unlock it before because it didn't seem to require any clues about the phone, but that didn't mean it was difficult to unlock.

Uesugi's brain worked quickly, and he entered overclocking power consumption mode!
已知今天是3月15日，定格凌晨1点。那么角色的结婚纪念日有可能是3月14日或3月15日。

However, many Japanese families avoid wedding dates related to the number "4," even though March 14th is White Day, and if they really want to choose a Valentine's Day, isn't there a more suitable traditional Valentine's Day on February 14th?
Therefore, March 15th is more likely.

Based on the model number of the train, 13000, the timeframe is after 2020, so the selection range is 2020-2040.

The characters cannot get married in 39 and 40, otherwise the game time would be 40 and 41 respectively.

Judging from the marks on the first train, it shouldn't be.

Therefore, the phone unlock password is likely to be: XX (20-38) 0315.

The phone's lock screen mechanism requires a waiting period after three incorrect attempts, and allows for a maximum of ten attempts!
However, the waiting time for the later attempts was too long, so the ideal number of trials should be eight.

Uesugi has tried 30 and 25, but neither worked.
She kept trying.

"Huh? Isn't it over yet?"

After finishing his day's activities and falling asleep, Higashiyama Shin discovered that Uesugi Hitomi hadn't finished the game. Instead, she was crouching next to the girl in the white dress, seemingly doing something.

"Okay, wait for the phone to unlock."

Higashiyama Shinmei understood.

He was probably lucky; he unlocked it in no time.

Then the mysterious girl will accept your phone and promise to help you at a crucial moment.

After exiting the labyrinth, you are still at Hibiya Station, but this time it is filled with demon soldiers.

Skeleton soldiers formed patrol teams that patrolled the platform, which was full of obstacles. All he needed to do was dodge these patrol teams and keep moving forward.

The workers left him a note here.

The patrol density is still a bit too high. Without a bird's-eye view, it's easy to be discovered and then die.

But a feint can be very effective here, as long as you have the right things on hand, such as classic stones, glass bottles, or briefcases.

A typical infiltration operation, but unfortunately the opponent this time is not a blind AI.

"Great, it finally worked!"

Uesugi Hitomi's first four attempts were all wrong, but fortunately she entered the correct information on the fifth attempt.

“所以说，结婚日期是2036年3月15日，现在的实际日期是2037年3月15日！”

Looking at her phone, which had been successfully unlocked, she tried to open LINE, but all the content was blurry, except for one chat box with the message "[March Angel]".

[Has the last train already left? Are you alright?]

I prepared cake and red wine~(*￣︶￣)】

The road outside the station was dark, and it looked like it was starting to drizzle. I'll bring an umbrella and pick you up.

[Message: Video call (no answer)]

What happened?! Your phone's dead?!

[Message: Video call (no answer)]

I'm hesitating whether to call the police. I'm really worried; at least reply with a picture.

Uesugi Hitomi opened her mouth, suddenly realizing that she seemed to have lost control of the character.

Her consciousness seemed to be instantly driven to a corner, and she could only watch helplessly as the character slowly typed on the phone.

【I will come back, I promise. Please make me a bowl of my favorite buckwheat noodles, my angel.】 Send.

Because of the lack of network or extremely weak signal, the message kept spinning after being sent. (In fact, in the absence of any network, LINE would directly report an error.)
The sudden power slowly subsided, and Uesugi Hitomi regained control of her character.

"Was that part of the plot just now?"

Uesugi stared at the still-spinning message, silently exited the app, returned to the home screen, and after confirming that there were no other clues, handed the phone to the girl in the white dress.

".Thanks."

The girl in the white dress took the phone, stared at the screen blankly for a while, and her eyes seemed to clear up a little, no longer as confused as before.

"You need to find that handle and turn the iron gate open. I'll help if necessary."

After saying that, she took a step forward, but her footsteps made no sound when they landed on the ground.

In just a few steps, he passed through the wall and disappeared without a trace.

Uesugi wasn't surprised at all; how could a normal person stay in a place like this so calmly?

Having lost her lighting equipment, she relied on the faint light from the exit to find her way out of the maze.

"Still at Hibiya Station."

Uesugi peeked out from behind the obstacles and could see rows of skeleton ghost soldiers patrolling in tattered old military uniforms.

"The iron gate she just mentioned, is that it?"

Uesugi could vaguely see a large, round, enclosed iron gate on the railway wall below, covered with various dilapidated "No Entry" signs.

At the edge of the platform, there was a small room resembling a police booth, with lights shining from inside.

The so-called handle is most likely located here.

Uesugi carefully noted the patrol routes of the demon soldiers and began to try to approach the mysterious little room.
Then she died.

"Waaaaah, my head, my head~ Waaaaah!"

In the messy room, Uesugi, curled up in bed, let out an indescribable, strange cry.

The toes that emerged from under the covers seemed to have their own thoughts, and the whole body trembled violently.

"Three times! I've been stabbed to death by the same skeleton minion three times!"

Uesugi's hand trembled as he reached out from under the covers and struggled to pull them back, revealing a pale face and disheveled hair clinging to his sweat-drenched forehead.

"I'm going to eat braised pork ribs all day tomorrow!"

Using a mental victory strategy, she finally managed to slowly endure the three near-death headaches.

No matter how many times you try it, you can never get used to this taste.

Although limiting yourself to dying twice would be much better, as long as you don't die a third time, you won't reach that extreme pain that touches your soul.

But she couldn't help but hate him!

Clearly, it was just a hair's breadth away!

She could even faintly hear voices coming from inside the house.

But in the same spot, she was discovered by the same skeleton soldier. The guy rushed up with his bayonet rifle and stabbed her to death without saying a word, leaving no survivors.

"Simply, unforgivable!"

After lying there for a while, Uesugi gritted his teeth and got up, his head "hanging" on the computer desk. He opened the game modeling software, and despite his fatigue, he recorded the map, the ghost soldier patrol routes, and the destinations from the game as he remembered them, and began modeling!
Witness the power of technology! Skull-shaped pork rib soup!

Times have changed, so how can we remain stagnant and use outdated problem-solving methods!

The omnipotent AI will punish every stubborn traditionalist equally.
