It's New Year again. First of all, I wish everyone
Happy New Year
May you always hold kindness and be clear and bright.
Analysis of Last Year's New Year Game (Delayed)

[!NOTE] The information is in this image, and the clue to the encryption method is also in the image.

The encryption method is not the same as last year's New Year game.
The final password consists of only English letters.
You might need a hex viewer. Don't worry, I've found one for you: Hex Viewer.
After obtaining the key, please send it to i@mail.vinking.top to receive the Alipay password red packet.
The decryption method will be updated after the holiday. Enjoy it. Being a riddler is really fun
