Snow had originally insisted on destroying the secret key, but he began to hesitate after hearing Assange’s persuasion.
After escaping for so long, his thoughts changed without even him realizing it. The intelligence agency’s response after discovering the secret key began to deviate from what he originally thought.
That was an indifference that completely disregarded everyone’s lives. It would be better to kill the wrong person than let the right person go. This made Snow doubt the career he originally wanted to devote his life to.
The intelligence agency and the Pentagon went beyond wanting to protect the security of the United States. They wanted more.
“Mr. Slan, you don’t need to worry about being discovered after checking the surveillance. We’ll just randomly pick a few to look at anyway. Besides, with our skills, we can completely avoid their tracking by putting on a few more shells outside…”
“You can’t possibly think that the United States Intelligence Agency has a lot of experts who can track down the two of us, right? What’s more, we’re joining forces this time so we will definitely not leave any loopholes. Back then, I was only 14 years old when I hacked into the intelligence agency’s computer by myself. And let me tell you, their defense was like paper…”
Assange began to brag about his great achievements. He even almost revealed that he had built a website specifically to share the intelligence stolen from the intelligence agency network with his colleagues.
“So, you see, even if I broke into their door and robbed them, they couldn’t do anything to me. What’s more, we’re going to visit them with their keys now. Are you not curious at all?”
“I…” Snow lowered his head and fell into a dilemma.
In the conversation just now, he had already determined one thing. Assange was exactly what he had guessed. He was basically an outlaw who took pleasure in breaking into other networks.
If he got involved with such people too much, it would bring him huge trouble in the future. Yet, at the same time, Snow also felt an indescribable eagerness to try.
It seemed that he was looking forward to doing the same thing as Assange from the bottom of his heart. After all, he and Assange were on the same page from a certain perspective.
How could a person be a good boy when the first thing he did when he first joined the intelligence agency was to solve the agency’s encryption algorithm?
However, once he did this, he might not be able to turn back.
Jagoan also saw Snow’s hesitation and did not press any further.
