"The man Harry Wallis doesn't exist at all."

Jessica Jones said firmly as she reported to Michael.

She told Michael everything about the whole story she encountered when she sneaked into Wallis, especially when she discovered that the security guards on the top were all part of the robot.

"There is no mistake. Wallis is actually a shell company." She said. "The company has no actual business. It's just that someone is registered for some purpose. It may be used to do something concealed in the name of the company. Their founder Harry Wallis is a fictional character. I carefully checked his office, and there was no trace of anyone using it. I also checked all the files in the public information and internal data of their company, and found that Harry Wallis's only image was the registration photo. There was no image information, and there was no information about his family or relatives."

Michael crossed his fingers and sat in his office chair and listened quietly.

Regarding Wallis, what Jessica mentioned is not very rare. There are indeed many forces and even some public figures who have many shell companies in their hands. These companies often only have legal forms and have prepared all legal documents and materials, but most of them do not have a fixed business place and never open any substantial business. This kind of company is very widely used, and even Michael has at least a dozen such companies in his hands.

However, it is not so common for their boss, Mr. Wallis, to have no existence at all.

In a highly informatized modern society, it is not impossible to make a complete person come out of nowhere. For example, Michael Paso is an identity that Michael created for himself out of nothing, and he even has more than such an identity. However, there are almost only a handful of people in this world who can fake false identities so seamlessly. The Tianjian Bureau has such huge resources and countless talents all over the world, but as far as Michael knows, there are no more than three people who have the potential to do as good as him in this regard.

There is also the bionic machine security guard mentioned by Jessica. The machine is covered with artificial skin, so that they look almost the same as real people. This technology is also worth noting. If someone thinks that this company is worthy of using a group of bionic machine security guards with such advanced technology, this itself is enough to illustrate the problem.

"But there is this possibility," Michael said slowly, "maybe Mr. Wallis is just a very privacy-oriented person and very careful. He deliberately avoided the leak of photos and information about himself and his family, and he happened to basically never stay in the office..."

"If you are asking me if there is any evidence, yes, I have it." Jessica said, using her multi-function watch to apply for links to the projection system in the room. The floating screen is activated and the operation interface in her watch is projected. She selected a copied video file and opened a surveillance video. It was the surveillance video at the entrance of Wallis.

"Like many other companies, Wallis requires all employees to sign in and check in with their fingerprints when they go to work. This is a video I got from one day in March. The records on that day show that Mr. Harry Wallis himself arrived at the company at 8 o'clock in the morning and completed the check in with his fingerprint. Pay attention to the video at 8 o'clock in the morning."

She dragged the video timeline until eight in the morning, and the entrance was empty.

"And then there will be two months later here, and in the same way, Mr. Wallis's check-in record appears again. Let's look at the surveillance of that day."

She opened the next video and dragged it to the designated time, and the entrance was empty again.

"So that's it. It seems that your inference may be true." Michael nodded, "You have investigated very well, thank you for your hard work."

Jessica raised her eyebrows: "So you don't need me to follow these doubts and continue to investigate?"

"Not available for the time being. If you need it later, I will contact you again."

After Jessica left, Michael raised his head and asked in the air: "Sherley, how about it?"

"I think Miss Jones's opinion makes sense."

As Shirley said, she adjusted Harry Wallis's only photo to the floating screen and scanned the middle-aged man's face in detail. She used local recognition technology to match Wallis's hairstyle, eyes, nose and mouth, and quickly picked five matching photos from the database.

A lawyer, a movie star, a politician, a business tycoon, and a wanted criminal, five different parts of the faces of five people were pieced together to make such a brand new photo, a person who did not exist at all, this is Harry Wallis.

"Interesting." Michael held his chin, "Is there anything else to find?"

"When Miss Jones used her Sky Sword device to connect to Wallis's system, I also tried to hack into the other party's database through her link. But I found that the company's password was extremely difficult to crack, and they used a unique encoding method I had never seen in any institutional system before..."

"It's even harder to invade than the CIA or the Ministry of Defense or something?"

"I think so. This is a brand new way of encoding. Even I have never seen it before. It may be difficult to force cracking."

You should know that Shirley can break through the Pentagon's top artificial intelligence in one minute. Shirley even has a back door in the systems of multiple government agencies, including the Pentagon. In this way, Tianjian can always intercept important news as soon as possible. If there is a system in any place, even Shirley will find it "difficulty", then that place is absolutely extraordinary.

"But you still succeeded?"

"It took a little more effort, yes. But my access is still limited." Shirley's tone was extremely rare. "Sir, I can't say it for sure, but I feel like I've found something in this system... some data traces, which look like... like my kind."

Michael thought for a moment.

"You mean, artificial intelligence?"

"I mean it's just a guess," Shirley said uncertainly, "but something is interfering with my probing, as if someone had erased the data as early as possible before I access each module. As far as I know, the only other AI is capable of doing this."

Michael was silent for a moment. Now this issue has begun to formally attract his attention.

"What did you find?"

"Not many, most of them are only damaged data and fragments of programs. But there is only one word, a word that appears repeatedly in multiple modules I access. I think this might be a name, the name of a project or a weapon or tool that is under development."

“What is it?”

Shirley didn't say it directly. She threw six capital letters onto the floating screen.
