Chapter 62: Unlocking the Black Box || Ghost Runners
Jason placed the boxes on the table and finally got himself a seat.
"Here they are."
"So you were after these?" Angel grabbed one box and played with the locking system. "They are old and reliable, but they aren’t used nowadays."
"What are they exactly?" Xavier asked curiously. "Are they storage boxes?"
"Umm, not really. They can be used for anything. They were invented a few hundred years ago for the space military, but they were soon discarded as they were too secure. The encryption on them is one of the best till date, and the military messed up the encryption keys because there were hundreds of thousands of them. In the end, they disposed of them."
Xavier checked the boxes, but he could no longer tell which one was the one he needed.
"I have the encryption key so how long will it take you to open the box?"
"If you have the key then it shouldn’t take long. Let me set up my stuff. In the meantime, send me the encryption key, so I can start right away."
Angel got herself a desk and connected the black boxes to her device. She was checking the encryption details to find the real one.
"Four of them are encrypted. If we are lucky, we may find something valuable inside them. Do you know the encryption details of the one you are looking for?" She glanced over at Xavier and waited for the response.
But Xavier was busy typing the encryption key on his phone.
