Chapter 446 The Man Under the Streetlight

The valuable information provided by the killing game is not limited to the driver and co-pilot who transported the volunteers. Suzi also discovered the source of the spirit pollution monster through the surveillance cameras on the street.

The co-pilot's youth moved the box out of the car.

It wasn't a purely spiritual monster. As someone who had fought it head-on, Zhu Jue was vaguely aware of it at the time.

It's just that in view of the cooperation between the other party and Mi Ge, it's not so weird to create some special monsters, so Zhu didn't think there was anything special about it, but Suzi unintentionally released this spirit in the follow-up investigation. Pollution monsters have a special logo printed on the outside of their boxes.

A simple logo naturally can't explain anything. The reason why it attracted Suzi's special attention is because in the dream of the member of the "Zero" organization who was interviewed in her dream, to be precise, it was the number standing behind the gate. The same symbol was found on one of the special characters!
Ouroboros!
The general image of this logo is a snake devouring its own tail, showing entangled twists, which is the shape of the Arabic numeral "8", which is often seen in various religious myths, and it also implies quite a lot of things.

For example, in the circular structure cosmology interpreted by alchemy, ouroboros symbolizes the supreme work, which combines and contains opposites, and is a concept of "perfection" that is both clear and vague.

Ouroboros also represents "self-referential" or "infinite loops", especially those things that are capable of constant self-replication, as well as cyclical self-development, a good example of which is the legendary phoenix, which burns itself Self-reproduction (or understood as "rebirth") in the process of self-regeneration is a manifestation of the concept of infinite loop.

Zhu Jue tattoo on the arm.

It meant that he not only had to find the existence of Ouroboros, but also cut it off completely!
"This logo only appears on the box in the entire killing game. I haven't found similar images in other places, but this just shows that it probably only belongs to the organization, so it is rarely disclosed to the outside world. Of course, it is not excluded. It's because of some accidental stamp on it, but I don't think that's very likely."

While Suzi was talking, she was sorting out the items in the drawer behind the desk, most of them were discarded medical documents, which would be thrown away later.

The rain outside the window is expanding, and the dusk is not yet here. The gloomy sky and the changing street lights make people feel depressing.

"Tsk, the current information is not enough to explain too much, the situation of Xiao En must be investigated!"

If the Ouroboros that appeared here indeed belonged to the same organization as the result of the dream inquiry, then Zhu Jue was undoubtedly right this time.

Sean is the thread of all the clues they have so far, and he is the top priority if they want to start a follow-up investigation!

"I inquired about the human rights parade three years ago on the Thousand Sails Network. At that time, the reporter who was in charge of reporting Sean was a reporter from the Ketchton News Agency in the 17th community. Her reporter was named Shirley. It is possible that It's not her real name, because of the chaotic situation in the lower part of Qianfan City, many reporters dare not use their real names to conduct investigations, and most of the content published in the newspapers is worried about being called to make trouble."

The profession of journalism is not safe. There are many news hotspots in the increasingly restless downtown society, but many times there are dangers hidden behind these hot spots.

"Can you find out her real identity?"

Even her name was fake, so it was naturally impossible for this reporter to let others know her address.

"I can only do my best. The network of Qianfan City is monitored by the brain. If I want to hack into some databases in this network state, it will easily attract attention. To ensure safety, once I am tracked by the brain, I will cut off the network. Whether I can succeed depends on When will it find me? Community No. 17 should belong to the frontier area, and I don’t know how strong its network security is.”

It has always been a common problem of human beings to classify things into grades, so even after the appearance of Qianfan Race City, the original urban area has completely become a lower urban area, and the people in it are still obsessed with ranking.

After several years of personnel turnover, the community number, that is, the status of the community, has become the default rule. According to Zhu Jue, there should be nearly 40 communities in the entire Qianfan City, and the number of people living in each community is about 30.

Aside from Qianfan Racing City, the top ten or even the top five of these 40 communities are considered to be wealthy areas to some extent, and the rest are all living areas for the middle class and lower class people.

But this is Qianfan City, no one can question the protection of the network by the three major machinery groups, and even as long as they are willing, they can monitor the signals sent by everyone and the network anomalies in various regions, but doing so will consume a considerable part of their time. Computational power is not worth the candle.

Intellectual brains are not omnipotent. Instead of using huge computing power to monitor people's information on a large scale, the higher-ups obviously prefer to use them in key places.

Of course, in Zhu Jue's previous life, a certain country was undoubtedly more keen on violating people's privacy.

In any case, Suzi can only hope that the No. 17 community will not be taken seriously, at least the database she wants to hack is not among the key protection objects of Zhinao.

The two were chatting when a notification sounded on the right side of the desk, and the virtual screen raised on the desktop showed that there were people outside the clinic, wearing the uniform of a furniture company, and there was a truck parked on the road behind them, which should have been ordered by Suzi before. The groceries have arrived.

"Did you buy anything like a toothbrush?"

After suspending the discussion, Zhu Jue got up and prepared to welcome people in, and asked casually.

"They claim to be a complete set of items, even slippers and bath towels will be prepared, toothbrushes and the like should not be missing."

Suzi didn't carefully identify the items when she bought them, but just found a nearby shopping mall on the Internet.

In fact, what they brought was not only not missing, but even much more than what Zhu Jue imagined.
"What is this?"

Looking at the mechanical disc with a diameter of nearly half a meter pushing into the room from in front of him, Zhu Jue followed him in and asked.

"This is the latest holographic projector. It allows you to enjoy a full range of audio-visual experience in the room. It is a best-selling item on the market now. Because you asked for everything when purchasing, we will send it to you."

"Are you sure my room can hold so many things?"

Zhu Jue lowered his face and pointed to the room full of furniture and various electrical appliances.

The refrigerator occupies a small half of the wall, the bathtub almost fills the bathroom, and the most amazing thing is a large crystal chandelier with a diameter of nearly two meters.

Good-looking is good-looking, if this thing is installed, won't you be blinded when you turn on the light?

Suzi, who went out to find something to buy, was about to ask about the situation, but found that the latter was standing on the side of the corridor, frowning and looking somewhere out of the window.

"Didn't you look when you bought the furniture?"

"Look outside at the person under the third street light from left to right.

Before Zhu Jue could finish asking, Suzi interrupted him directly, pressed her finger on her upper lip, as if to cover her own mouth, and said softly.

Following her directions, there was a person holding a black umbrella standing under the streetlight at this time. From his position, his body was obviously leaning toward the private clinic, holding an audio-visual stick, as if he was what video to watch.

"He was there when we let the furniture company guy in downstairs. I zoomed in and he was looking at today's weather forecast. It's been 5 minutes. I checked and there is no unprecedented heavy rain tomorrow. , and there is no highly threatening acid rain or hail, just simple rainy days, and the place he pays attention to is not the audio-visual stick at all!"

Although there were a lot of pedestrians and vehicles passing by, this apparently purposeful behavior still attracted Suzi's attention.

"Is it possible that the news of our coming here will be leaked? No, the only people who know our destination are you, me, and Fu Yingxiong. Even if the news that we are going to Thousand Sails City is leaked, how can they be sure that we will appear here?"

Although their action plan was reported to the Yimeng senior management through Fu Yingxiong, it was only a general direction, and it did not mention how they would conduct the investigation or where to start the investigation.

"Perhaps the local forces noticed us, so they sent people over to check the situation. I remember that the Yimeng's intelligence personnel in Qianfan City mentioned this matter. Due to the chaos in the community environment, the number of small and medium-sized organizations in the lower urban area of ​​Qianfan City There are many gangs in almost every community, and it is not strange to pay attention to the situation on your own territory, especially our private clinic."

Private clinics mean medical support, and the price may be higher than that of regular hospitals, but their confidentiality and close geographical location are naturally the first choice for these gangs who are about to fight with people every few days.

"It seems that we will be busy soon."

Zhu Jue withdrew his gaze and left the window without looking back.

Obviously, the temptation of local forces will not be limited to sending someone across the street to pretend to have a look.

If there is no accident, when the clinic opens, they will definitely send people over to find out.

But before that, I wish to find a way to solve my own decoration problem first.
