Superman Termination Manual - Chapter 505

Chapter 505: Chapter 254 Bedlam Asylum Journal (Part 5)_3 Chapter 505: Chapter 254 Bedlam Asylum Journal (Part 5)_3 To verify the idea just theorized with Ke Yinzhi, Fan Quan also casually opened a deck of poker cards.

He tried to arrange them in a top-to-bottom order and translated the deck of cards into words based on the pattern the two had speculated.

Soon, he once again verified that their guess was correct: the numbers represented by the poker cards could indeed be perfectly converted into English letters, without any obstacles.

At this moment,
Ke Yinzhi was deciphering three decks of poker cards in his hands, interestedly thinking about their meaning: “The combined message of these three decks is: William has been captured by the Management Bureau, no need to worry about him, he’s likely doomed. What needs consideration now is relocating our base and laying low for a while.”

Fan Quan, deciphering two decks of poker cards, thought to himself: “These two decks mean: the people of Management Bureau know I am in the asylum, but they haven’t found me yet.”

“Indeed… this is the way TK passes messages to the caretakers. Next, I need to find TK before Black Judge does and get him out of Bedlam Asylum.”

Thinking this, Fan Quan invisibly inhaled a breath.

Immediately after, he opened the chat panel with his mind.

[Fan Quan: Cai Bing, can you check the surveillance cameras in the card room, particularly every Saturday, to see if a caretaker checks the poker cards in the cabinet every weekend?]
At the same time,
On the other side of the table, Ke Yinzhi leaned back in his chair, resting his head against the back, thinking.

“But that caretaker can’t access the library, she doesn’t know the order of books arranged by Francis, so how could she possibly know the order to open each deck of poker cards? Even if she can interpret the English letters represented by the poker cards, without the correct order, the message TK wants to pass to her becomes disjointed.”

Thinking this, Ke Yinzhi suddenly lifted his head from the chair, turned his face to Ke Mingye and said, “Sir, may I use the restroom?”

“Don’t take too long,” Ke Mingye glanced at him, his tone cold.

“Understood.”

Ke Yinzhi walked with a smile into the restroom of the card room, closed the door, and sat down on the toilet.

He pressed his earring, and a projection panel popped out, and immediately he began performing a series of operations on it.

Soon, Ke Yinzhi had checked the surveillance operation records of Bedlam Asylum:
–Only one supervisor uses the library’s surveillance on Saturdays as his job is to make sure no patients sneak into the library or card room during cleaning day–of course, apart from Francis, the specially privileged librarian.

So, naturally: TK has two accomplices.

The first accomplice is the caretaker who cleans the card room;
The other accomplice is the supervisor who uses the library’s surveillance camera every Saturday.

According to the procedure,
This supervisor, through the surveillance camera, sees the order of books placed on shelf number one by the Memory Strange Man, Francis, and then uses the serial number to verify each book’s associated number and passes this sequence to the caretaker.

Then, when the caretaker manages the card room, she follows the corresponding sequence to open 24 decks of poker cards, converting the numbers represented by each deck into letters to form complete English sentences.

With enough practice, it becomes effortless to grasp the message TK wants to convey in a short amount of time.

It must be said that this method is indeed very complex and secretive: because in others’ eyes, “Memory Strange Man” Francis is a complete lunatic, so people generally don’t pay attention to his actions.

Moreover, after all, all he does is adjust the order of books, dismantle the deck of cards, rearrange them, and put them back.

No one would think that, for so many years, TK has actually been leveraging Francis’s characteristics and these seemingly illogical behaviors to pass messages to the members of the Revolutionary Late Bell group.

Even because Francis cannot remember names and faces, he cannot ask directly who TK is.

This is indeed very cunning.

“TK, finally caught onto your trail…”

Ke Yinzhi browsed through the employee list, his gaze settling on the face of one supervisor, his pupils shimmering with a deep light.

“Found you, TK. Must act faster than Black Judge now.”

Fan Quan thought, pushed up the non-existent glasses on his nose bridge.

Just then, he received a reply from Cai Bing.

[Cai Bing: Found it, on Saturdays the caretaker responsible for cleaning the card room is always the same person, she checks every deck to ensure no cards are missing from the decks because a patient had caused trouble over this issue before.]
[Fan Quan: This caretaker is TK’s accomplice, on the surface, she is checking the card decks for missing cards, but in fact, she is observing the order of the cards to learn the message TK wants to pass.]
[Cai Bing: Who knows, that’s your business. Here, this is her personal information, that’s all I can help you with.]
[Cai Bing: (Photo)]
[Fan Quan: Good Orange Skin, photo and information have been posted in the discussion group.]
[Fan Quan: Your identity is a caretaker, it’s naturally easier for you to find and approach this caretaker, the task to force her to reveal who TK is will be handed to you, act quickly.]
[Good Orange Skin: Received.]
…

…

At this moment, a different part of Bedlam Asylum, the caretaker’s break room.
