I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 862 Coveting
“Is the Coke good?”

Lao Ping didn't know how to answer this question for a moment, and awkwardly stuffed the Coke into the inside pocket of his coat.

He didn't want to tell Aqing about the Coke appearing out of nowhere, so he immediately changed the subject and mentioned the damage to the electronic screen in the conference room.

"I wanted to go check it out, but that guy kept looking into the security room, so I didn't go and stayed here the whole time..."

Lao Ping told A Qing about his discovery.

"They want the permissions tool? What do they want that for?"

After listening to Lao Ping's story, A Qing was also confused.

"That thing is useless. What can security clearance do?" A Qing thought for a while, but couldn't figure out the other party's purpose.

"Go check it out first, Lao Ping, and lock the door."

A Qing walked into the security room, took the authorization tool, and went to the meeting room with Lao Ping.

"Did anything else happen today, Lao Ping?"

"No, it's just that Hu Le is a little weird."

"Why did you take a can of Coke? Do you want to change the taste?" A Qing was still very concerned about the can of Coke.

"I got it from the cafeteria. I pinched my hand while working, so I used Coke to cool it down." Lao Ping lied casually.

"Is the injury serious?" A Qing looked at Lao Ping's hand with concern.

"It's nothing serious."

"That's good."

"..."

The two of them chatted like this and came to the door of the conference room.

"If something seems wrong later, don't show it directly. Pretend you don't know and report back when you come out."

Ah Qing gave Lao Ping some instructions, saying that although he was young, he was very experienced in doing things. Lao Ping nodded and agreed.

After the two looked at each other, A Qing pushed open the door of the conference room.

As soon as the door opened, the eyes of those in the conference room gathered together. They pretended to be busy, but their eyes unconsciously swept over Aqing and Lao Ping.

Lao Ping was already on high alert, and when he was scanned by so many prying eyes, his hair stood on end. He quickly patted A Qing's shoulder and gave him a look.

"Something's wrong here, let's go."

Ah Qing also understood what he meant instantly, but still patted his hand gently, indicating that he should not be too nervous.

After all, young people do not have a strong enough sense of crisis. Lao Ping has no choice but to find a chair to block the door to keep it open, and then he slowly walked in with A Qing.

The researcher named Hu Le came over and explained the situation of the electronic screen to A Qing. A Qing listened, asked a few questions, and then walked towards the main electronic screen.

After A Qing moved his feet, the onlookers nearby surrounded him and stood between A Qing and Lao Ping. Lao Ping's physique was not as strong as those young people, so he was immediately pushed to the back.

Being treated like this, Lao Ping was immediately anxious and angry, but thinking of A Qing's instructions, he forced himself to suppress his anger and slowly withdrew from the crowd.

"What do they want to do?"

Seeing Ah Qing getting further and further away from him, Lao Ping also became worried. He observed the onlookers and found that they were actually trying to stop him deliberately. Some of them even had the panic of doing something bad on their faces, and their acting skills were very poor.

What happened that made an entire team come together to act?

Lao Ping couldn't figure it out, was it just for that authority?

He couldn't figure out these electronic products, nor did he understand the role of permissions, but judging by the importance these people attached to it, it must be something very important.

"But Qing is watching, so there shouldn't be any problems..."

For Aqing's safety, Lao Ping did not dare to leave. He just watched silently from outside the crowd. He found a position where he could see the center of the crowd and stared at Aqing intently.

A Qing seemed to be brought to the electronic screen by the researcher named Hu Le, and inserted something like a USB flash drive into the control interface below the electronic screen. Although Lao Ping did not understand electronic products, he guessed that it was the permission tool they had been discussing.

Soon, A Qing started to operate, but at this time, the crowd began to crowd again, as if trying to squeeze A Qing out.

Of course Ah Qing also realized that something was wrong. He pulled out the authority tool and stood still. Now, the crowd stopped moving.

"What on earth do you want to do?"

This question made everyone in the conference room stop what they were doing.

Those who were pretending to be busy all looked in the direction of Aqing, and the entire conference room suddenly fell silent.

“What do you want to do with the permissions tool?”

A Qing directly questioned Hu Le who was beside him.

"We..." Hu Le stammered, unable to say anything.

Everyone just stood there awkwardly, the atmosphere was extremely weird.

Lao Ping's heart was about to jump out of his chest. Ah Qing told him not to show it directly if he found something wrong, but he didn't expect that he lost his temper. There were so many people in this meeting room, all acting. Once a conflict occurred, the two of them would not be able to stop them.

Fortunately, the people in the conference room did not take tough measures. After Hu Le remained silent for a while, he looked at A Qing very sincerely.

"We want to check something using the permissions tool."

"What are you checking?" A Qing asked back.

"It's a confidential file. Our researcher clearance cannot access it. Only security clearance can access it."

"why?"

"Because..." Hu Le looked at the people around him. Some of them nodded to him. He also sighed and looked at A Qing again.

"This is determined by the underlying logic of Mengdu. The security personnel here have the highest authority, higher than anyone else. Your authority is even higher than that of the director of the research institute, just because you are a security officer."

Hearing this, Aqing also showed a puzzled look on his face.

"How is this possible? I am just an ordinary security guard. Above me there are leaders of the security department, and above them there are other managers of Mengdu. My position is at the bottom of the entire Mengdu. This permission tool is just casually thrown on the table in the security room. It can only control the switches of some equipment. Is this permission also the highest permission in Mengdu?"

"You think too simply." Hu Le looked at Ah Qing and said seriously, "You should also know that for any controllable device, the most basic control is 'on' and 'off', followed by other functions. Security privileges can only control the switch, but this is the most powerful part."

"With security permissions, you can directly turn off the firewall that protects information, you can directly turn off the trigger alarm of the information database, you can directly turn off the encryption tool... You can turn off all protections and enter the deepest part of the information database unimpeded, touching the core secrets of Mengdu."

Hu Le looked at the authority tool in A Qing's hand and said eagerly:
"This is the simplest key, but also the most useful key..."
