Don't worry, we can wait for Game Theory to make a video in 3 years.

[pulsar kiln]

[sick wraith]

[native maple]

wat

[manic swift]

Based on web search results, the link you provided is a YouTube video titled “VanishPoint® Syringe” by Retractable Technologies, Inc1 It is a promotional video for a type of syringe that has a retractable needle to prevent needlestick injuries. The video has 238K views and was uploaded 2 years ago1

I watched the video and listened to the lyrics of the song that plays in the background. The song is called “Blinding Lights” by The Weeknd, and it is a popular hit from 2020. The lyrics of the song do not seem to have any connection to the cipher or the ARG, except for the fact that they mention “numbers” and “lines” in some parts.

I tried to use the lyrics as a possible key for the Vigenère cipher, but I could not find any meaningful plaintext. I also tried to use some variations of the song title, the artist name, and the video title as possible keys, but none of them worked either. I think the key is not related to the video or the song, but maybe to something else in the ARG.

BING LITERALLY SAID THAT

[modest dragon]

damn bing is fucking stupid then

[sick wraith]

Bing is dumb.

you can see the link is different

yeah

[austere sun]

it just checks for first 2 letters "wc" lol

[fiery sparrow]

It's 100% because of Youtube. Bing couldn't access the website for the right video somehow.

bro

If you try normal Bing. Youtube won't give the right video also. It's because of Google is playing dirty.

[manic swift]

great answer

[austere sun]

except its wrong

[golden ravine]

[manic swift]

Based on web search results, the link you provided is a YouTube channel called Neuro-sama1 It is the official channel of Neuro-sama,
the AI VTuber who hosts livestreams on Twitch and YouTube. She has 101K subscribers and 30 videos on her channel

I browsed through her videos and found one that matches the title you gave me:
“Numbers”2 It is a video that shows a series of numbers on a black screen, accompanied by a distorted voice saying “Numbers”. The video has 4.6K views and was uploaded 2 months ago

I watched the video and tried to use the numbers as a possible key for the Vigenère cipher,
but I could not find any meaningful plaintext. I also tried to use some variations of the video title,
the channel name, and the voice as possible keys, but none of them worked either. I think the key is not related to the video or the numbers, but maybe to something else in the ARG.

Do you have any other clues or hints for the key?

bing said that

[vapid token]

It is wrong by at least 50%

so, how i can describe it, normally it should "sound going up" and "sound going down" repeatedly, right, but i swear i hear how it isn't

[unique mason]

[fresh shore]

up and down like fkin clock should normally ticking

[modest dragon]

I mean it just alternates between two sounds, no?

[native maple]

So instead of tic tac tic tac it's tac tic tac tic ?

[dire orchid]

can these gpt-like things ever process yt stuff or is this new?

[fresh shore]

tic tic tac tic tac tic yk

maybe i just schizo and hear binary codes everywhere

[maiden wigeon]

Vedal ARG involved a code that darkeew and fellow swarm coders are attempting to run

[calm veldt]

Can mods create an Asylum channel for everyone to let out their schizo?

[maiden wigeon]

That is what happening right now

[languid flax]

That true

[maiden wigeon]

Or to rephrase it, they manage to find code within the MUSIC video and is attempting to run said code from that video into whatever darkeew is using to run it with

Assuming it's python

[hollow garnet]

no this is different

they're trying to break the code in the description of the numbers video

[maiden wigeon]

Didn't you guy already done that and the end result is some sort of code?

Otherwise what is darkeew and that other guy doing?

[hollow garnet]

there's a piece of malbodge code in that video that needed to be ran iirc

Numbers should be distinguished from numerals, the symbols used to represent numbers. The Egyptians invented the first ciphered numeral system, and the Greeks followed by mapping their counting numbers onto Ionian and Doric alphabets

[golden ravine]

too much shitposting

[astral rose]

In mathematics, the natural numbers are the numbers 1, 2, 3, etc., possibly including 0 as well. Some definitions, including the standard ISO 80000-2,

[wooden bobcat]

[dim belfry]

Guys, about this thing
There is no key

[tawny pasture]

What kind of key could "jebaited" be?

I don't think that's a key

[dim belfry]

At first this artist was just making fanart

and then Vedal wrote to him

and made a collab

[thick nacelle]

jebaited is a key SCHIZO

[austere sun]

the images were posted on april 23, the videso were uploaded on april 27th

arg was already in the making by then, so you're likely wrong

[modest dragon]

gonna repost something I said yesterday about this

Ok hold on let me clear this up. The Ascii animation by Sadecsss is not related to the ARG at all. It was posted on the same day that sadecsss made the first version of what would then become the current stream starting screen. There is no way Vedal contacted sadecsss that far back, because there is no way that Vedal would've known sadecsss was even making that animated drawing, let alone all of the pixel arts that came with it.

[dim belfry]

agree

[fresh shore]

i think ghost lyrics closer than anything else to be a key for sms code

[modest dragon]

this was about the ascii animation but still applies to the Jebaited qr code, it was released in the same art post

[fresh shore]

"It’s been a while
I’ve been losing touch" yk, like she talking with someone

[austere sun]

no way that Vedal would've known
is the possibility that vedal asked them to do those in the first place is excluded?

[dire orchid]

yes

it was a fan art

[modest dragon]

Sadeccs had made 2 animated pixel arts in the past, but it's a stretch to say that vedal contacted them to create the QR code along with the other pixel art animations for the arg, it was just a joke

[austere sun]

i guess i just have no sense of humor then

[crimson tendon]

@austere sun has leveled up! (1 ➜ 2)

[glass mist]

If we don't know weather was only a fan art or not, so why we don't look to something else？

[modest dragon]

Like, we can still keep "jebaited" in mind as a possible key to some cipher, but I think the memeyness of the word and how it was found is enough of a tell that it was just a joke sadeccs made, like putting a rickroll in a qr code

I mean it's documented anyway so why are we even talking about this

[languid swan]

Just come back. are we still asking ai

[fresh shore]

wow this binary code means something even, how cool

[dire orchid]

https://tenor.com/view/ofergang-daniel-gif-25330530

[stray jewel]

maybe on 8:50 something appear

[dire orchid]

i might make a new google account without my real name to contribute lol

[fresh shore]

what you trying to see lomi

[austere sun]

didnt someone already try to look through all suspicious frames in study

[languid swan]

Didn't dark check all the frames with his software

[fresh shore]

i believe we already gathered all hidden messages

[dire orchid]

yeah including compression artifacts

[thick nacelle]

I think there is nothing more in video/audio

[true void]

Yeah

[languid swan]

I'd like to check the message trans from the malbolge

[manic swift]

i know that

[vapid token]

Yes

[hollow trail]

there are some unusual shit going on around here.

[languid swan]

maybe using something like els

[vapid token]

We've already checked everything

[gritty ledge]

I am guessing some of the phrases are pass phrases for neuro?

[austere sun]

see pinned message by vedal

[true void]

maybe we can do something more with the malbolge

[golden ravine]

the pixels

[tawny pasture]

Vedal had to come in because people were donating actual money into this ARG which would give nothing in return

[dim belfry]

golden ratio has a number

[true void]

Another clue SCHIZO

[tawny pasture]

Ah, beautiful YouTube artefacting

[manic swift]

ya i know that XD

but here i mean is

[native maple]

it's the wire task in among us

[manic swift]

i found nothing on that video by brightening it

idk is these are normal or not

[stray jewel]

apparently, there were no more strange moments in the song...

[tawny pasture]

YouTube artefacts

Compression

[native maple]

top of a 4 maybe ?

[dim belfry]

Golden ratio

[vapid token]

there nothing, we all have checked

[manic swift]

i know

i want to check again

[native maple]

we can also check each position of the golden ratio on top of the description code

[fast lichen]

that's neuro v1 right?

[stray jewel]

21

[native oyster]

doesnt look like her

[stray jewel]

in the second video, breathing was heard 21 times

[languid swan]

in and out?

[fresh shore]

holy fr?

[dim belfry]

Fibanachi number

[stray jewel]

да

[crimson tendon]

@stray jewel has leveled up! (3 ➜ 4)

[native oyster]

neuro singing rich flex is a clue

[fresh shore]

keep it in english please

[hollow trail]

are there any updates?

[dim belfry]

he said "yes"

[golden ravine]

no

[hollow trail]

Understandable. Have a good day.

[manic swift]

wth lol

oh nvm

this is normal

[left wadi]

you mean Fibonacci? We knew that already

[fresh shore]

waiting for study girl fan-arts

[dim belfry]

yep sorry

[dim belfry]

already, check art topic

[stray jewel]

check 30:42

i found something

[fresh shore]

but you drew neuro

[hollow trail]

why did i even watch study. in nighttime?

[dim belfry]

but it's Neuro-study-girl

[hollow trail]

i feel like i wont sleep

[languid swan]

sleep while listening to study

Maybe the brain will assemble the answer itself lol

[hollow trail]

hell no i wont do that

[native maple]

Start with number 2 yeah Matching all the letters 572943 Add another 9 yeah Add another line yeah Multiply by 5 yeah Add another 6 yeah Flip the numbers backwards Make the 2 a 3 yeah Abcdefg Multiply by 9 yeah Add the numbers 2 4 17 is first yeah Abcdefg

[true void]

This is the malbog

[dim belfry]

it's 30:42

[astral rose]

[languid swan]

that's the malbolge

[fresh shore]

actually it's 31.10

[hollow trail]

i wish i can post the eminem gif but i dont have embed perms lol

[stray jewel]

31:10

[true void]

Is there any possibility that the malbolge is a false positive ?

[timid swift]

No, the programming language only accepts a small subset of any possible character combinations. It is possible that there's more to it, but it's absolutely malbolge

[languid swan]

idk I have never seen anything like this

[potent cobalt]

Do you mean a red herring? Or that the output could be something else?

[true void]

Well maybe there is more to that

Than the malbolge

Of maybe im just overthinking

[native maple]

so it would be a malbogle and something else ?

[true void]

Yeah

[languid swan]

And throwing this into the compiler can also produce results

[manic swift]

damn

the funny thing is

[arctic canyon]

I can't believe they made us type out that entire message, in the blurry, hard-to-read distorted font, only for it to be a red herring

[manic swift]

this appear on the first one

but not the second one

[languid swan]

btw i actually have no idea how they solved the malbolge puzzle

[manic swift]

i think is because of the image or something?

[feral forge]

Hear me out

[timid swift]

i'm not so sure it's a red herring. It could be the key for something

[potent cobalt]

I won't deny that possibility. But for now I think that it's just overthinking.

[native maple]

maybe trying to increment each char of the malborge by one ? idk how malborge work so

[true void]

Yeah like how

[manic swift]

oh yea

the image

nvm

[charred ermine]

any luck?

[golden ravine]

anny help us

[arctic canyon]

no

[vapid token]

Hello, no

[potent cobalt]

Nope!

[languid swan]

no

[charred ermine]

i can't help i know nothing

[true void]

Help us Anny

[golden ravine]

[native maple]

[languid swan]

May have results in three years

hh

[feral forge]

guys listen

I think there are hints other than the QR code in the intro
also i think it is possible there is one in the bochi video ...

[vapid token]

[native maple]

more easter egg in intro ? maybe in the concert intro

[charred ermine]

i literally didn't even know he made this

kek

[timid swift]

You can be our support mascot, that's what Alex does. lel

[arctic canyon]

Here's where we are

[true void]

Made it

[dim belfry]

kek

[charred ermine]

kekwa

[golden ravine]

[vapid token]

KEKWa

[left wadi]

Anny help us we are going insane

[dire orchid]

so far we confirmed that she doesn't want to be an engineer

[native maple]

any lead on the yt pfp ?

[feral forge]

intro: https://clips.twitch.tv/CreativeProtectiveNeanderthalSoBayed-3SClKCKZDpmHV8xH

[timid swift]

insane and spiraling. Don't forget spiraling

[fast lichen]

the swarm's managed to break one of the images but that's all they got lol

[pulsar kiln]

[gloomy yew]

Don't get into it. It's not to late. You can still save your sanity

[true void]

[manic swift]

IM GOING CRAZY

[charred ermine]

swarm come on you can go further than that

use all your brain things

[native maple]

Start with number 2 yeah Matching all the letters 572943 Add another 9 yeah Add another line yeah Multiply by 5 yeah Add another 6 yeah Flip the numbers backwards Make the 2 a 3 yeah Abcdefg Multiply by 9 yeah Add the numbers 2 4 17 is first yeah Abcdefg

[left wadi]

[golden ravine]

anny did you see the neuro void eyes morse code

[ruby swallow]

guys did you know that malbogle in reverse is elgoblam

[left wadi]

go further she says

[manic swift]

yea i found nothing

[ruby swallow]

crazy I knoww

[languid swan]

[charred ermine]

what happens when you solve this whole thing

[vapid token]

We can save v1! Or what we're doing

[true void]

New clue SCHIZO

[charred ermine]

is there a prize

like

neuro custody

[potent cobalt]

No clue.

[manic swift]

we don't even know XD

[vapid token]

I think that's what we need to find

[true void]

The prize is our sanity back

[pulsar kiln]

that the point we dont know lule

[left wadi]

Vedal will sing Barbie Girl

[true void]

Clueless

[native maple]

apparently we are currently looking for a number that we can send message to

[fast lichen]

this is a PLOT so that Anny can RETAKE v1

[manic swift]

we should donate to this british tutel

[charred ermine]

LMAO

[timid swift]

If we say yes to this will you go schizo with us and solve the whole thing?

[charred ermine]

NO

[stray jewel]

oke

[charred ermine]

i'll watch on the side

[velvet beacon]

ayoo anny is on chat, her messages are clues i swear

[charred ermine]

i'm glad i know nothing about it

[timid swift]

lmao

[ruby swallow]

The prize is the schizophrenia we got along the way

[stray jewel]

i try decode text :/

[manic swift]

@dim belfry

[manic swift]

this guy

[dim belfry]

yep I saw it in doc

[manic swift]

no wonder he not in the cracking one

[dim belfry]

ty

[manic swift]

XD

[left wadi]

I was trying to check if the numbers spell out a word in Fibonacci but no luck

[golden ravine]

i dont want shit, i want help

[feral forge]

in #1112401279680008242 i thought maybe if we "start with 2" but

[ruby swallow]

so what are we trying to do now

[potent cobalt]

Well good, as he isn't giving us shit.

[hybrid scarab]

what in god's name is this

[manic swift]

i really want to ask my friend to help

but don't want to annoy them

cuz they know advanced math stuff

[left wadi]

I got one friend in Google, and I'm really tempted to call them lmao

[dim belfry]

we need answer for this one, have you already solved it?

[manic swift]

#1112082183235047506 message

[hybrid scarab]

how long have you guys been here

[golden ravine]

too long

[manic swift]

wait

there's 0?

[hybrid scarab]

why did i not hear about this till now

[languid swan]

you mean malbolge part? that's solved

[native maple]

whats time anyway

[manic swift]

[left wadi]

we already got a whole google doc project going on

[thick nacelle]

doing good

[hollow garnet]

i sure hope we're looking for utf-8 in here

[hybrid scarab]

I-

[manic swift]

since debut

[golden ravine]

need more cpus

[native maple]

sure hope too 🤡

[crimson tendon]

@native maple has leveled up! (5 ➜ 6)

[languid swan]

cracking b64?

[hybrid scarab]

my god XD well have fun

[hollow garnet]

i'm also only checking the first 64 bytes with aes because its faster

[potent cobalt]

Are you exiting on first match, because you might get some false positives that way.

[native maple]

cracking AES 128bit

[manic swift]

i don't think the code is 128b

[hollow garnet]

no, its saving anything it sees

[manic swift]

rather than 256bts

[hollow garnet]

if its 256 i'd die

[manic swift]

It might be 128 too who know

he love to make us suffer

[languid swan]

But seriously, if it's aes, it might take our whole life

[vapid token]

I think we've already gone through all the schizo theories we could. All that's left for us it's find something useful.

[manic swift]

[native maple]

if it's 256 then the key is twice the size and we need a password with 32 char

[arctic canyon]

so be it

[golden ravine]

there is no way all this brute force will lead to anything

[manic swift]

bro

imagine 1028bts

[thick nacelle]

Yeah we went through all schizo parts

[arctic canyon]

My final two brain cells trying to work this out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dVr0WPtvvs

[pearl mesa]

anny theres no solving here only

[left wadi]

There's no way Vedal didn't hint anything

all this time

[native maple]

i mean brute force won't lead to anything but with multithreading one lucky worker might get it in a few days

[hollow garnet]

i should probably have tested this on a smaller sample ngl

[languid swan]

We don't even seem to know what kind of encryption that is now

[manic swift]

[hollow garnet]

would it be worth posting the code on github?

[manic swift]

now we gotta wait for the leak

[dire orchid]

tbh attempting to brute force the answer is self torture in the first place

[vapid token]

Today Dev stream... but i don't think something well happen

[hollow garnet]

we've hit 1%

[languid swan]

use many gh action bot to run the script

[hollow garnet]

oh god

imagine the fees

[manic swift]

holy shit who make this

[manic swift]

bruteforce is not gonna work against AES and Vigenere

[languid swan]

[wicked sapphire]

[left wadi]

mf published a f-king paper

[manic swift]

@arctic canyon u make this?

[arctic canyon]

uh oh

[wanton coral]

I am surprised and amazed with this dedication

[manic swift]

u make that?

[dire orchid]

13176565

[arctic canyon]

Not me actually

[wanton coral]

did someone got what the apparently base64 message was?

[arctic canyon]

WHoever it is, incredible work

[manic swift]

https://www.appsealing.com/aes-128-encryption/#:~:text=AES is considered safe against,computers with large computational power.

[gloomy yew]

_ _

[manic swift]

i mean

the name of that person is sheep so

REAL SHEEP?

[dire orchid]

a certain anonymous sheep posted it

[hollow garnet]

fortunately for us, the key may be in a specific format

[calm veldt]

You're better off not knowing

[languid swan]

I don't know music theory, I just know it looks really professional

[languid swan]

[dire orchid]

[hollow garnet]

if it is numeric, starts with 17 and ends with 24 then that greatly narrows down the number of possibilities to look through

[golden mirage]

#neurotic-neurons message

New clue?

[hollow garnet]

2 ^ 128 down to ~1 trillion

[dire orchid]

someone with actual background in music (except Alex)

[ruby swallow]

I tried using a steganography tool on the @_neurosama profile picture and got Ûm¶ repeating over and over again

[hybrid scarab]

@calm veldtthis is the like the equivalent of Sr.Pelo's Undertale parody where he made that one video with a hidden clue for a video link

[wicked sapphire]

I know you love grasping straws so enjoy #neurotic-neurons message

Exactly, this will drive you insane if you let yourself join in

[ruby swallow]

Hm

[pearl mesa]

enigma machine?

[manic swift]

HOLD UP

[ruby swallow]

Maybe we need a password to decode the pfp

[manic swift]

that might be a clue

guys

[wicked sapphire]

Made by SADecsSs the one who made the starting screen the one with the QR code

[languid swan]

what have you found

[wicked sapphire]

[arctic canyon]

Actually a clue?

[golden mirage]

LOL and Roman numerals of her sleeve

[languid swan]

[arctic cliff]

it means she can't type

[native maple]

[arctic canyon]

ok here's a still image

[native oyster]

[native maple]

dates ?

15 may 23

[languid swan]

So should we figure out what kind of machine this is first?

[left wadi]

I V III

[ruby swallow]

So, can anyone type out what letters got pressed?

[left wadi]

[potent cobalt]

It's an enigma machine.

[golden mirage]

https://cryptii.com/pipes/enigma-machine

[dim belfry]

where did you find it?

the gif is named hmmm

[languid swan]

cool

[golden mirage]

#neurotic-neurons

[wicked sapphire]

Read a little above

I linked it

[ruby swallow]

PTPLWTIGX
(I'ma edit this with the rest of letters)

[left wadi]

I thought I was good at puzzle games

[golden mirage]

Rotors are I V III

[oblique karma]

https://enigma.virtualcolossus.co.uk/VirtualEnigma/

[manic swift]

i think i got the first number

[austere sun]

ptplwtigxzgtxilsyjmdhrizbgxwuziwdgistbybb

[manic swift]

might refer to may 15

[left wadi]

yeah but why is it shown as I V III ?

[arctic canyon]

So we are swapping:
B with Y
W with L
T with F
U with C
O with H
S with K
C with U

[true delta]

no way this man put a may 15th reference in his ARG

[arctic canyon]

I assume that's what the cables mean anyway

[hollow garnet]

2%

[ruby swallow]

You beat me to the race >:C

[manic swift]

tbh i don't know what this mean

[native maple]

the image shows 15/05/23 at the top

[wanton coral]

I'm still too confused

[hollow garnet]

that's the starter rotors

[wanton coral]

where are we getting those new images?

was too easy to be true guys

yeah

[dire orchid]

and the hand sleeve

Well, at least it was easy to crack, thank you everyone.

[arctic canyon]

Right, let's buy one

i was gone for a bit, is the ciphertext from the animation of the enigma machine?

[obtuse basalt]

I have about half a penny

yes

[fresh shore]

but why it has date which moved with each letter

[arctic canyon]

Hold on let me call my friend Bill
