4chan帖子

4chan 的 /vg/ 板 Dota 2 综合讨论串(/d2g/)中,一名匿名用户发布了以下消息:

 what the hell? There's something very weird going on here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChbNByMTjZnnqJAMPkvD_vg/videos?  sort=dd&view=0&shelf_id=0

链接中的 YouTube 频道有40多段 Dota 2 职业选手 EternaLEnVy(EE)的采访剪辑。视频很短,将片段反复循环;标题各为一个词,循环开始前还有一张标题卡。

一名 Reddit 用户浏览 /d2g/ 时看到链接,随后在 /r/dota2 发布帖子。

神秘机构

讨论者发现,每段视频的标题卡和简介都链接到赞助方 teragongroup.com。网站标榜“塑造明日世界”,列出咨询、情报分析与监视等服务。网页底部还出现文件名 areyouworthy.txt。

把文件名接在网站地址后,得到以下文字:

 Alone on the river bank, Peter counted his money.
 Somehow, only 12 gold coins were left.
 How was it possible?
 Surely, he couldn't have spent that much money.
 A duck and two rabbits were the only items Peter had bought that week.
 After subtracting the price of those three items from Peter's weekly pay, at least 30 gold coins should have remained in his pocket.
 Now, what should Peter do? His 12 gold coins won't be enough to live on for the rest of the month.
 Should he weep, should he beg or should he steal?
 The day was nearly over.
 Sulking, Peter decided to go home.
 On the road, an old man came to him.
 Incredibly, that old man had found Peter's missing money on the side of the road earlier in the day and wanted to hand it back to him!
 Moving swiftly, Peter grabbed the knife hidden in his satchel and stabbed the old man in the heart.
 Now, with his missing coins and the old man's savings in his pockets, Peter walks back home with a contented smile on his face.
 What is Peter's favorite Dota2 hero?

Peter 独自在河岸数钱。
不知怎么,只剩12枚金币。
怎么可能?
他肯定没花那么多。
这一周他只买了一只鸭子和两只兔子。
从周薪中扣除这三样东西,口袋里至少还该有30枚金币。
现在怎么办?12枚金币不够他过完这个月。
哭泣、乞讨,还是偷窃?
一天快结束了。
Peter 闷闷不乐,决定回家。
路上有位老人走来。
不可思议的是,老人今天早些时候在路边捡到他的失款,想还给他!
Peter 迅速取出袋中的刀,刺入老人心脏。
现在,Peter 带着失而复得的钱和老人的积蓄,心满意足地回家。
Peter 最喜欢的 Dota 2 英雄是谁?

第二条消息

另一名 Reddit 用户指出,各行首字母组成 APSHSAANSTSOIMN,可重排为 Dota 2 英雄名 Phantom Assassin(幻影刺客)。参与者据此打开 phantomassassin.txt:

 On June 20th 1307, just before dawn, three men entered the private offices of the King in the Palace of Fontainebleau.
 They gave Philip IV everything he needed to take down the only group of people with both the military and financial means to threaten his reign.
 In exchange for the betrayal of their brothers, the three men were awarded a tenth of the considerable fortune of the soon-to-be-eradicated order.
 Thus was Teragon born

1307年6月20日黎明前,三人进入枫丹白露宫国王的私人办公室。
他们向腓力四世提供了摧毁一个组织所需的一切;该组织同时拥有威胁其统治的军事与财力。
作为背叛兄弟的报酬,三人分得那个即将覆灭的骑士团庞大财富的十分之一。
Teragon 就此诞生。

2月1日:呼叫与回应

新网址

一名 Reddit 用户发现 /betrayalwasnecessary.png,显示一幅巴风特图像。

原站巴风特图像;保留原文件中的隐写数据。

更多信息

另一名用户发现,wewillreshapetheworld.txt 的密文使用维吉尼亚密码,以“This was Teragon born”为口令得到 betrayalwasnecessary。由于该地址已被发现,调查转向图片本身。

参与者辨认出图像与法国神秘学作者 Éliphas Lévi 的《Dogme et Rituel de la Haute Magie》(《高等魔法的教义与仪式》)有关。另一人用隐写工具从图片取出隐藏文字:

发出申请

没有找到以“joinus”为名的新网页后,参与者推测它是要求申请加入 Teragon,于是向网页底部的 info@teragongroup.com 发出申请邮件。

数小时后,两位申请人收到相同回复:

末尾另附原文所示的星号与竖线。

信尾的法语句子意为:

原始消息与密码
 Under his reign, France was great and the French unfortunate.

在他的统治下,法国强大,法国人民却不幸。

一名 Reddit 用户指出,“JM”可能指 Jacques de Molay。法语签名出自法国作家 Maurice Druon 的《Le Roi de fer》(《铁王》),即1955年开始出版的《被诅咒的国王》系列首部。

这句话位于《铁王》序言第一页,说的是腓力四世统治下的法国。该系列以卡佩王朝末五位国王与瓦卢瓦王朝最初两位国王的统治为背景:

原始消息与密码
 Set during the reigns of the last five kings of the Capetian dynasty and the first two kings of the House of Valois, the series begins as the French King Philip the Fair, already surrounded by scandal and intrigue, brings a curse upon his family when he persecutes the Knights Templar. The succession of monarchs that follows leads France and England to the Hundred Years' War.

系列从腓力四世迫害圣殿骑士团、为家族招来诅咒开始。宫廷本已充斥丑闻与阴谋,接连登位的君主最终把法国和英国带入百年战争。

2月2日:观察监视者

新的视频

当天上午,Baphomet Studios 上传了2分06秒的“Pawn”,15分钟后又删除。一名用户在删除前留下了 镜像。录像中的男声以法语朗读;有人认出内容是《铁王》序言。

同日,频道进行了7分45秒的直播。画面始终是一幅爱德华一世向法国国王腓力四世致敬的图像。开头音轨似乎与“Pawn”相同,中途切换为类似 Acre 的慢速讲话。

 Extract from page 87 of the personal diary of Luc Delorme:
 September 13th, 1948.
 It’s been six weeks now since I’ve seen Anne and the kids. Six weeks since she stormed out of the apartment, Michel and Laeticia in tow, yelling  “You’re going crazy, Luc! And the worst part is, you don’t even see it. But I won’t stand here while you destroy this family!”
 She was wrong, though. I’m not crazy. Maybe just slightly… obsessed.
 All in all, it’s for the better, I suppose. Working on the files has become much easier now, with the apartment to myself.
 This morning, went to my appointment with Pr. Halphen at La Sorbonne.
 I told him everything.
 The nine founders of the Templar Order and their mysterious connection to the newly-crowned King of Jerusalem.
 The cover story concocted by those nine men and the King. “Protecting the roads of the Holy Land.” Ha! As if nine men could secure hundreds of  kilometers of roads!
 Their well-documented nighttime excavations under the Temple of Solomon, followed by their meteoric rise to power.
 They had found something, that much was clear. Something that gave them wealth and power beyond measure.
 It all made sense. I knew that Professor Halphen was going to see it, just as I myself saw the light before.
 But he laughed. That idiot, that stubborn fool laughed me right out of his office.
 He will see, though. One day, he will see. And he will remember bitterly the day he laughed at my theories.
 Time to get back to work. I still have to decipher that parchment.
 I may have to take a break, though. My arm is starting to hurt. As I was leaving the office of Pr. Halphen, a young man bumped into me. He must   have had something sharp on him because something tore my sleeve and scratched my skin.
 There was something that felt familiar about that young man. Had I seen him before?
 Anyway, let’s go and put some iodine on that scratch (it’s turning a weird shade of blue!) and then get back to our documents.

Luc Delorme 私人日记第87页摘录:
1948年9月13日。
已经六周没见 Anne 和孩子了。六周前,她带着 Michel 与 Laeticia 冲出公寓,喊着:“你疯了,Luc!最糟的是你自己都看不出来。我不会站着看你毁掉这个家!”
但她错了。我没疯。也许只是稍微……着了迷。
总的来说,大概反而更好。公寓只剩我一人,研究文件方便多了。
今天上午去索邦大学见 Halphen 教授,把一切都告诉了他。
圣殿骑士团九位创立者,与新加冕的耶路撒冷国王有神秘联系。
九人与国王编出的掩护说法是“保护圣地道路”。哈!九个人怎么保护几百公里的路?
他们在所罗门圣殿下夜间挖掘的行动有充分记载,之后势力迅速崛起。
很明显,他们找到了某样东西,带来无法衡量的财富和权力。
一切都说得通。我知道 Halphen 教授一定会像我一样看见真相。
可他笑了。那个顽固的蠢货,把我笑出了办公室。
总有一天他会明白,会痛苦地记起自己嘲笑我理论的那一天。
该回去工作了,还得解开那张羊皮纸。
但可能得先休息,手臂开始疼。离开教授办公室时,一个年轻人撞上我。他身上大概带了尖锐的东西,划破袖子,擦伤皮肤。
那年轻人让我觉得熟悉,以前见过吗?
总之,先给擦伤涂点碘酒——伤口居然泛起奇怪的蓝色——再回来研究文件。

根据日记末尾“我还得解开那张羊皮纸”的文字,参与者尝试找到 parchment.png。

1.初步数据显示招募大获成功。针对Dota 2玩家的选择取得良好效果。相比去年,申请人的平均年龄更符合预期;正如M教授所言,他们的NG与GB平均分也倾向于高于非玩家。
2.简报生成软件把2016显示成2015的错误已修复。
3.安全组仍在调查网站文件泄露。
4.羊皮纸显然是现代伪作,但仍可能含有有用信息,团队已开始解码并找到了下列模式。

Laetitia 的消息建议联系一位 Teragon 特工。参与者由此推测,先前解出幻影刺客线索的 Reddit 用户 /u/TonyWan 就是相关人员。

一名用户向他私信:

 Hello, Mr. Tony.
 You may know me as JM. Be wary that you are being investigated by ISSP as a possible part of the leak on our website. You better share with us what you know.

你好,Tony先生。
你也许知道我叫JM。提醒你,ISSP正在调查你是否参与网站泄露。最好告诉我们你知道什么。

/u/TonyWan 回答:

原始消息与密码
 This is highly suspicious.  Why would JM contact me here and not on our Intranet?
 Okay, if you really are who you say you are, let's try something.
 Every year in March, we celebrate the anniversary of the brightest day of our organization in front of a plaque.  Over the plaque is a bridge.   Cross the bridge, what is the name of the building to your left?
 Visit the file named after that building.

很可疑。JM为什么在这里联系我,而不是内部网络?
如果你真是本人,就试试这个。
每年三月,我们会在一块纪念牌前庆祝组织最光辉之日的周年。牌子上方有座桥,过桥后左边的建筑叫什么?
访问以那栋建筑命名的文件。

 Don't worry, I will still talk to you even if you fail to solve this problem. But, there will be consequences down the line.

 Hi there,
 I'm Brett. I don't know if Laeticia told you about me, but I work for her group, the Friends of De Molay.
 Teragon didn't catch me when they raided our place.
 It took me a while but I finally managed to infiltrate their headquarters.
 I'm heading down to the holding cells now.

 I just got rid of a couple of guards.
 Well, when I say "get rid," I mean I used a stun gun. I'm not exactly.. errr.. a hero or anything.
 I'm about to reach the holding cells.

 Dammit, I think someone spotted me.
 I'll have to be quick about this.

 We made it out of the Teragon headquarters!
 We are now en route to a new secret location where, hopefully, we'll be able to finally plot our next moves and prepare to take down Teragon for good.
 And this is all thanks to you, my child.
 Over the past few days, you have been...
 ...so smart when you helped us decipher Teragon's codes...
 ...so brave when you chose to betray the people who had recruited you...
 ...so resourceful when you supplied us with all the information we need to take down Teragon...
 ...so stupid for trusting us.
 Goodbye.
 L

我们逃出Teragon总部了!
正前往新的秘密地点,希望终于能计划下一步,彻底摧毁Teragon。
这一切都多亏你,我的孩子。
这几天,你们是如此聪明,帮助我们解开Teragon的密码;如此勇敢,选择背叛招募你们的人;如此足智多谋,提供摧毁Teragon所需的一切信息;又如此愚蠢,居然相信我们。
再见。L。

目录还新增了一份 Teragon 历史 PDF,解释该组织为何认为背叛圣殿骑士是必要的。

《Our History》第90页:
三兄弟登上马车,返回大圣殿。Jean疲惫地靠着车窗,落下一滴泪。Robert问:“怎么了?我们做了必须做的事。”
Jean说:“我知道,但这并没让事情更容易。我们刚判了几千人死刑。”
“我们别无选择!”
“总有选择。可这一次,是背叛与暴政之间的选择。我们选择背叛自己的兄弟。”
Denis插话:“别叫他们兄弟!他们选择了命运。决定反对国王、教会和全人类的那天,就不再是兄弟!耶路撒冷发现的那个东西给了他们巨大力量,足以勒索国王、教皇和银行家,统治世界。他们正想这样做,让人民成为奴隶。”
Jean停顿后轻声说:“我们会重建。用国王给的钱重建骑士团,但不为权力或财富,而为正义、平等、自由。如果圣殿骑士回来,我们还会击败他们。”
Robert笑着问:“听起来不错,名字想好了吗?”
“想好了。以困难时期唯一帮助我们的人命名——Guillaume de Nogaret。”

 Thank you for helping us with that code.
 We do still need your help. And this time, it is a rather time-sensitive matter, so please do try to stick to the task at hand this time.
 We have one hour before we issue security clearances for the translators contracted by Linguis. Based on what you found, we can safely assume    that one of them is working for FDM. Unfortunately, at this point, we have no idea which one it is. In the folder that contains this message, you  will find a file listing those individuals along with whatever we have been able to find about them.
 We do have a lead, however. Someone found a code that may lead you to the identity of the fake translator.
 When you have his or her name, vote for that person's name on strawpoll.
 The translator with the highest number of votes will be shot.
 No, just kidding. We'll just deny his or her clearance, which will prevent them from working on Sunday.
 Remember, you have one hour to find out who it is.

 Well, it looks like you did not manage to answer the answer in time.
 This is rather unfortunate because we actually think that code contained a clue to the type of attack FDM plans to launch on Sunday. >Now, we're completely in the dark.
 To be fair though, our team of trained analysts also failed to decipher that message... So, don't feel too bad about it!
 Our director wants to talk directly to you. He told me he wants to explain the situation.
 But, before that, we have one more assignment for you.
 Yesterday evening, we intercepted a video message sent by FDM to some of its off-site assets. We think it might lead you to FDM's >current location.
 Follow the lead and, once you find the exact address, send it to Tony.

 Note to operatives traveling to our temporary location on Sunday:
 We had to move to a new, secure location due to interference from those Teragon rats.
 To find our new location, you will have to make two journeys throughout the city.
 X marks the spot
 To start your first journey, follow the way of the one-dollar bill. Turn your back to Persia and turn right. Take the first turn on the right and then, the first turn on the left. Immediately turn right. Your destination is the store where two green bears stand guard.
 Follow the way of the same bill again. Go visit Barbara and turn your back to her. Turn right and continue until the end of the street. Turn left and, once you find a decent place to buy the latest fashion from London, turn left again. Turn right and take a rest with the good doctor in front of the Eiffel tower.

周日前来临时地点的人员请注意:Teragon那些老鼠干扰,我们不得不转移到新安全地点。

 Hi guys,
 I'm glad you could join us today. 
 We need all the help we can get in order to prevent FDM from disrupting these talks. For the sake of the world, these negotiations today must succeed.
 I'm going to pair you with one of my best people. That person will act as your liaison throughout the day.
 We have three senior agents on site, Renee, Mark and Tony. Unfortunately, Mark is currently busy investigating a new lead and Tony just told me  that he'd rather have all of his teeth pulled with a rusty pair of pliers than having to work with you guys. So, that leaves Renee. You're in  luck, she's an amazing agent.
 I was just informed that she will upload instructions for your first task in a very short while.
 Good luck.
 JM
 PS: Today is Renee's birthday. Don't forget to wish her a happy birthday, I know she'll love it!

各位,很高兴今天能来。
为阻止FDM破坏会谈,需要所有援助。为了世界,谈判必须成功。
我会派最好的人之一做今天的联络员。
现场有Renee、Mark、Tony三位资深特工。Mark正查新线索,Tony说宁可用生锈钳子拔光牙,也不愿与你们合作。所以是Renee,你们运气不错,她很出色。
她很快上传第一项任务。祝好运。JM。

 Hi there!
 So, you're the guys I'm going to work with today, right? Super! I've heard great things about you!
 Sorry if I'm a bit slow to respond at the moment but, well, it's my birthday and some of my colleagues just brought me this extra-large piece of devil's food cake. You guys want some? I could totally send you some, I'm sure there will be plenty left over.
 Okay, anyway, here's how today's going to go down.
 We have a series of tasks to perform. Unfortunately, we're on a really tight schedule, with the talks supposed to begin soon and all that... So,  we only have an hour to perform each task. I know, bummer, right?
 If we don't complete a task in time, well I'm afraid there might be very unpleasant consequences down the line.
 Also, that one-hour time period is for everything. Solving a puzzle, answering questions, whatever... For example, if you choose the wrong answer to a question, you'll have to answer it again until you give me more accurate information. All of that reduces the time available to solve whatever codes, ciphers or puzzles FDM have in store for us.
 Got it? Alright!
 I'm so thrilled to be working wi
 wait a mmdnt pls
 brrrb

你好!今天和我合作的就是你们?太棒了,久仰!
回复慢请见谅,今天生日,同事送来一大块魔鬼蛋糕。要尝尝吗?可以寄点,肯定吃不完。
今天有一系列任务。会谈快开始了,时间紧,每项任务只有一小时。没及时完成,后果可能很不好。
这一小时包括一切:解谜、回答问题等等。选错就要再答,直到给出准确消息,剩下解密码的时间也会减少。
明白了?太好!真高兴与你们合作——
等一下……马上回来。

Renee 匆忙离开后,JM 又发来消息:

 Hey guys,
 Sorry about that.
 Turns out someone had the bright idea to leave Renee's cake in a hot room for 24 hours before serving it to her. From the looks of it, she's going to be unavailable today due to a bad case of food poisoning.
 I'll have to pair you with someone else.
 Wait a moment.

 Oh, hell no. 
 I was just told that, apparently, the choice is simple: work with you or get fired.
 So, let's work together. Just try not to stab me in the back, like you seem to regularly do.
 First off, we need to inspect the parking garage. Our inspection will be over by 4PM CET, sharp.
 About the garage: our team found some suspicious vehicles in there.
 I'll upload a list of pictures. Look at them and choose the one that you think we should break into and search.
 https://strawpoll.me/6751370
 You have 10 minutes to give your answer. Oh, and because you seem to enjoy manipulating votes (wouldn't really expect anything else from traitors, would we?), we added some captcha thing to the strawpolls. Hopefully, you're better at solving CAPTCHAS than at solving ciphers.
 Tony
 PS: Sorry about the pictures. We have a new guy here and I think he has no idea how to use a smartphone camera. I want to punch him in the face.

……不,绝不。
刚听说只有两个选择:与你们合作,或被解雇。
那就合作,别像平时一样背后捅刀。
先查停车库,16:00 CET整结束。发现了可疑车辆,我上传照片,选一辆破门搜查。
投票,十分钟给答案。你们似乎喜欢操纵票数,所以加了验证码,希望你们解验证码比解密码强。Tony。
附言:照片拍得差,新人好像不会用手机,我想揍他。

目录新增 cars.rar,另有图册保存包内照片。

参与者很快认出可疑车辆是大众途安,与前一天跳舞小人消息中的车辆相同。

 We found the canister. It was brought to the Palais inside a giant cake and is now attached to the AC vent and moving it may detonate it.
 So, we have to defuse the dispersion mechanism before it goes off at 8PM.
 I see five colored wires. They're all next to each other, from the left to the right.
 I'm pretty sure that cutting the wrong one will cause that thing to go off, so please find which wire I need to cut AND BE RIGHT.
 I have attached a cipher we found behind the mechanism's casing. I guess deciphering it will give you instructions.

 Ladies and gentlemen,
 Unfortunately, as you probably have heard by now, the bomb went off and decimated all of the heads of state on site. There is, however, a silver lining: our team did manage to get out before the gas spread outside of the meeting room.
 Whatever happened, Teragon will help the world as it grieves for its leaders. It might take us longer, but I swear that we will not fighting until FDM's plans are thwarted.
 On behalf of everyone here at Teragon, I want to sincerely thank you for your help. You did miss a few things here and there, but overall, you did a good job.
 However, you have to understand my position. I cannot offer you a position after you leaked some of our confidential data to FDM.
 You will, however, always be remembered for the help you provided us during this ordeal.
 With our deepest gratitude,
 Director,
 Teragon Group

女士们、先生们:
很遗憾,你们应该已经听说,炸弹启动,现场各国元首惨遭杀害。幸而我们的队伍在气体扩散出会议室前撤离。
无论发生什么,Teragon都会帮助世界悼念领袖。也许要更久,但我发誓,直到挫败FDM都不会停止战斗。
谨代表Teragon所有人诚挚感谢。虽漏掉些东西,总体做得不错。
但请理解我的处境:你们向FDM泄露机密后,我无法给你们职位。
不过我们永远记得你们在这场磨难中的帮助。

 First off, I would really like to thank you for participating in this ARG. I've been wanting to do a "da Vinci Code-esque ARG" for quite some  time now and I only recently came up with a reasonably solid scenario.
 It's been a lot of fun on my end and hopefully, it's been fun for you as well.
 When I started conceptualizing this ARG, I wanted to do something a bit different -- an ARG where at certain points participants could choose  their own path. I also wanted those choices to have a real impact on the 
 story itself, which led to a few issues, namely the fact that it was impossible to create most of the content before starting the ARG itself  since I didn't know which path you guys were going to take.
 This being said, I am still impressed with how this ARG all went down. In a week, we got:
 - Up to 600 people at a time in the Discord channel
 - 90,000 views on the YouTube videos
 - Hundreds of thousands of page views on the two websites used in this ARG.
 This is wayyyyy better than what I had expected at the beginning, so, once again, thanks a lot to you trait...err.. guys! I definitely plan on  doing another, completely different ARG in the future.

 PS: If you guys have questions about some of the stuff, I can do a small unofficial AMA on /r/gamedetectives

大家好,我叫Nicolas,也有人知道我在/r/dota2叫/u/gayfarang。
先感谢参与。我一直想做《达·芬奇密码》式的ARG,直到最近才构思出比较完整的情节。
我很开心,希望你们也一样。
最初想做些不同的东西:让参与者在某些节点选择道路,选择真正影响故事。问题是,不知道你们会走哪条路,活动开始前便无法预做大部分内容。
不过这一周的结果仍让我惊讶:Discord同时最多600人;YouTube视频9万播放;两座活动网站数十万浏览。
远超最初预期,再次感谢你们这些叛……呃,朋友!之后肯定还会做一个完全不同的ARG。

附言:有疑问的话,我可以在/r/gamedetectives做个小型非正式AMA。
