Just like before, Hoshino contacted a hacker on the inside to obtain information.
Over here, rewards weren't in monetary form, but came in any form the hacker required, such as protection.
The real network balance had to be protected, so you wouldn't know what some of the hackers are in real life.
They could be a working mother, a cashier who was constantly in contact with the keyboard, or even a nerd enjoying playing computer games.
Today, the chat was slightly different though.
As it had been some time since Z's account had been activated, the revival caused a stir.
The person who appeared recently, was that really Z?
Some said it was while others disagreed, splitting the opinions into two extremes.
Hoshino read the contents, but hadn't planned to say anything.
Even though this was a world belonging to hackers, not everyone there was harmless.
Thus after casting his web, he left without a word.
