Whispers in the Shadow

I grabbed this book and added it to the growing stack of books in my arms before heading out of the store and back home to shelve the newest additions to my collection. Despite being a bargain price, this book was full of exactly what I had been looking for.

Dr. Sharif is almost proficient in these tasks. Whatever the accident case, he stole the brain and put it on the table in the secret room of his house. As soon as he opened the computer on the next table, some codes of binary digits appeared. By converting them to decimal, he got the location of the nine-digit code. He dipped the brain in a box of formalin and kept it as tomorrow's parcel. A total of three brains were collected. He finished his work like that day and went to sleep peacefully. Today is the day to send the parcel. Suddenly he entered the secret room and saw the computer automatically turning on and off. At first the matter seemed awkward, but as the brain delivery time approached, the computer was turned off from the main line and left for the destination of the code with the brains.
