Matthews, overjoyed, immediately gave the order.
"Find the dumbest person in the group! Remember, he should have the worst memory, the kind that can't even remember what he had for breakfast!"
The confidants rushed out and soon brought out a mercenary with messy hair.
"It's you, Grete." Matthews also recognized this guy. He was considered a relatively capable fighter in the Free Wind team, but his IQ seemed to be a bit problematic. Other mercenaries generally reported that it was very difficult to communicate with him.
"Hello, Captain." The mercenary named Grete grinned.
"I'll give you some paper." Matthews put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Write the code on each piece of paper. The code must be the same for each piece of paper. You can decide what to write, but don't tell the code to anyone."
"But Captain..." Gretel stammered.
"What?" Matthews asked.
"I can't write," said Gretel.
"Then draw!" Matthews said impatiently, "You can draw, right?"
"Yes." Gretel said honestly, "I like to draw big cats."
"Then draw a big cat!" Matthews waved his hand in disgust and told him to leave. Talking to this idiot, he felt that his IQ was rapidly decreasing.
So everyone quickly brought him paper and pen, and Gretel picked up the pen with a smile and started to scribble on the paper.
His confidants stood in a circle with their backs to him to prevent other curious mercenaries from coming over and seeing the secret code Grett drew.
Grete was sometimes in a daze, sometimes chewing on the tip of a pen, and sometimes drawing on paper with a silly smile. The Free Wind mercenaries were ten steps away, looking at Grete's art with confusion, and had no idea what the leader Matthews wanted to do.
"Hey, Captain Matthews." Ask saw the scene here and came over to greet him, "Have you come up with a solution?"
"Of course." Matthews smiled reservedly and proudly, "It's just a few tricks. I figured it out with a little brainpower."
The subtext is: It's just such a simple thing, and you still want to sell it to me for money? You are so funny! The small mercenary group is really unsophisticated and stingy.
"Oh." Ask looked towards Gret, and several of his confidants immediately stood up and blocked Ask's sight.
“Hey hey hey hey!” Matthews was afraid that he would suddenly rush over, so he quickly pulled him back, “Captain Ask, we can’t reveal our team’s code to you. Once you know it, you’ll also know about this change, right?”
"You guys are quite thoughtful." Ask smiled. "The method is actually simple, but it's quite paper-intensive."
"Waste of paper?" asked Matthews.
"Yes." Ask said, "You also know that the difficulty of this change is: 'Whatever is known by man, will be known by Him'."
"That is to say, once you open the note and check the code, the mutation will also know the code."
"Next time, this code won't work."
"So, we need to prepare several different code plans to prevent the mutation from causing multiple clones to infiltrate the system."
