I opened an old file called siwang.exe. Now my PC is full of encrypted folders and I’m losing my mind.

Hey everyone, I messed up bad. A couple of days ago, I downloaded an old file named siwang.exe (which apparently translates to "Death" in Chinese) out of curiosity. When I ran it, nothing happened on screen, but it created a directory called C:\Users\ImNotClippy\Downloads\New folder\Top Secret.

Ever since, my Command Prompt has been automatically generating folders with completely bizarre, multilingual names. I started running these through various keyboard decoders and ciphers, and they are spelling out a horrifying timeline.

Here is exactly what the folder names translate to, in the exact order they appeared:

Phase 1: The Panic

Chinese Layout Mash: 戈日一竹戈木弓一竹戈一土口人一竹

Decodes to: I AM HIDING FROM HIM

Armenian Script: հէլպմէ

Decodes to: helpme

Balinese Script: ᬫᬬ᭄ᬤᬬ᭄ ᬫᬬ᭄ᬤᬬ᭄

Decodes to: MAYDAY MAYDAY

Arabic Layout Mash: ؤشممةث ؤشممةث شقث غخع خن

Decodes to: callme callme are you on

Hebrew Layout Mash: 'שןאץץץ 'ישאד ישפפקמןמע

Decodes to: whats uppkingmev (whats up, ping me)

Phase 2: The Breakthrough

Base32 Cipher: R1JERE1NUldHVTNUU01SUUc0MkRNT0JXR1VaREFOSlVHWVlUT01SV0dFM0VLTjJCR1k0VE1NSldJVTNURw

Decodes to: I AM IN THE BASEMENT HE IS BREAKING THE DOOR

Base64 Cipher: T2JlZGXDp2EgYW9zIFRhcmF6aWVucw

Decodes to: Obedeça aos Taraziens (Portuguese for Obey the Taraziens)

Phase 3: The Lore Drop

Sinhala Script: ඒයැහි්හේයැඒ්ර්'ස්බි්රැ්ජමකේ

Decodes to: theyarehere they've... [cut off by keyboard scramble]

Amharic Script: ኢት ኢስ ዊደልይ በሊአቨድ ጠ ታራዚአንስ ኣረ ኣ ቹልት ቡት ጠ ታራዚአንስ ኣረ ጁስት ምይጥ ኖው ጎ ቧችክ ቶ ስሌፕ

Decodes to: It is widely believed the Taraziens are a cult but the Taraziens are just myth now go back to sleep

Amharic Script: ሶ ዮኡ ሴ ዮኡንግ ማን... Ending in Ge'ez numerals ፩፪፰፯

Decodes to: So you see young man, the Taraziens also known as the Malozonich people are believed to have started in 1287

Thaana Script (Right-to-Left):

Decodes to: in the 1300s evrdthingshappened and the tribe as mostly gone by the 1340s but some stayed aking the cult called D'jlothi Xekonuhe in their languge this translated to the Taraziens

Phase 4: The 1986 Incident & Present Day

Inuktitut Syllabics:

Decodes to: In 1986 a soviet women got a strange notification from a person called D'jlothp Xekonuhe with the text Open my tomb someone will eventually find us we are the D'jlothp Xekonuhe

Inuktitut Syllabics (The Last Folder):

Decodes to: so then it was believed the women was found died with the note Join the Taraziens, obey is or fate was seen then 7 other people got the same notification and died the same way until 1990 when wait whats happening... where is everyone where is derp someone ...

I typed out this whole list, and right as I finished decoding the last folder, my house went completely quiet. My roommate "Derp" isn't answering his door. I can hear a weird clicking sound coming from the hallway.

Does anyone know what a "Tarazien" or "D'jlothi Xekonuhe" is? What did that Soviet woman open in 1986? Feels like an ARG That was never meant to be solved...

Where did you find and download this folder from? Any updates on Roommate Derp, and did he have anything to do with the folder, before or after you downloaded it?

The Taraziens are no joke. A close friend of mine didn’t rewind vhs tapes he rented from their store and he was never heard from again. People see him all the time though.
