Chapter 423 Changes in the Eyes of Ordinary People

It's a new day. The slightly scorching sun raises the temperature that had finally dropped at night again, and the heat wave gradually wakes people up from their sleep.

Compared with the tense war situation on the border, Suqin City still seems to be prosperous. The intense emotions have long subsided after several years of erosion. Only the ever-increasing prices remind ordinary people that the war is still going on.

Tang Mu is a very ordinary Suqin native. Although he holds a noble capital hukou, his income is not as considerable as he imagined. As a newly graduated programmer, he wakes up as usual at the sound of the alarm clock, without bothering with breakfast. He just washes up casually and walks towards the company.

He had just gone downstairs when he clearly felt that something was wrong. However, after careful consideration, he could not find the source of the disharmony. Considering the working hours, he decisively gave up further investigation and ran towards the station.

Walking into the subway station, the feeling of disharmony surged into his heart again. As his brain gradually woke up from the summer drowsiness during the run, he finally discovered the problem -

The number of security personnel has increased.

Although the station was as crowded as usual, the blue and white security uniforms were still more conspicuous than before. Recalling the previous streets, Tang Mu also realized the problem -

There were actually uniformed policemen patrolling downstairs of his house!
After boarding the early morning train he took every day, Tang Mu's eyes swept around as the carriage shook slightly. He once again saw the figures in the blue and white uniforms, which made him feel a little uneasy.

But soon, he discovered another problem -

Why didn't he notice this anomaly at the first time?

Normally, if one saw the police patrolling the streets, one would not only feel uncomfortable, but should have noticed it directly. But what on earth was the reason that made him so easily ignore such an eye-catching problem? Was he really just too sleepy?
The subway arrived at the station, but the doubts in Tang Mu's mind never disappeared until he returned to the surface and saw the special mechanism that he passed by every day but never approached. Only then did he finally understand the reason.

Yes, the number of police and security guards increased, but they did not show the slightest sign of tension, so much so that Tang Mu did not feel the tension that a professional should have.

After successfully clocking in before work, Tang Mu arrived at his workstation. Seeing that it was still early, he turned on his computer while chatting with his colleague next to him:

"What's going on today?"

"What's going on?" Ji Rui, who was sitting next to him, was stunned by the question. Tang Mu thought he was the only one who noticed the problem, so he immediately said:
"Didn't you notice that there were more security guards?"

"Oh, I thought you were talking about something! Didn't it start yesterday afternoon? You wouldn't be online at all?" Ji Rui had a smile on his face, but Tang Mu had a forehead full of question marks. He immediately opened his phone and searched for a long time, but couldn't find any keywords. The Internet was either about celebrities being arrested or two parties scolding each other. Even the news about the rapist signing a contract had no follow-up.

"Good fellow, you are a programmer after all, you don't need me to teach you where to find messages, do you?" Ji Rui watched this guy go to the social platform to look for answers, and his original joking expression immediately turned into a look of "this guy must be a fool", but looking at the other person's "clear stupidity" that is unique to college students, Ji Rui could only sigh, send him an installation package and said:
"Don't turn on wifi, use a virtual machine to access, and I don't need to teach you how to hide the IP and permissions, right?"

"Is this the legendary dark..." Tang Mu looked at the black installation package and suddenly remembered the "legend" that a group of middle school boys kept talking about when he was in middle school. Ji Rui just rolled his eyes and said:

"It's not that mysterious. This is just an entry-level thing. The mainstream social platforms are almost completely occupied by those boxing and whitewashing people. Add to that all the controlled comment ads, and it's almost unbearable to watch. Although this thing is a bit backward, it doesn't have the big data collection function, but it can bypass the information cocoon. Didn't you just graduate? I thought all college students nowadays can use it... Didn't you buy your diploma?"

"Ah, this..." Tang Mu was embarrassed to say that he was either studying or working when he was in school, so he could only keep his mouth shut and install the software according to Ji Rui's instructions. As the simple interface was introduced, a very explosive video title suddenly came into view.

"Fuck! That bastard... Yun Jian is dead?" Tang Mu, who was staring at the title of the video that topped the list, immediately lowered his voice. Ji Rui nodded and directly used the G·I force field to transmit his voice:
"He's dead. The one who did it has even been leaked by the resistance on the front line. The effect is more exciting than a blockbuster movie! It is said that the bounty on the black market has soared to 15 billion!"

“Who…” Tang Mu was stunned at first, but then he realized that he had to use “that person” to refer to someone, and he couldn’t help but be stunned as to who was the person who had the ability and willingness to do such a thing.

"I remember the official saying that..."

“You also believe the official’s stupid [beep——]?” Ji Rui cursed with the G·I force field, and then said with his mouth:

"Anyway, there are a lot of videos, both edited and complete, and from various angles. If you go over the firewall and access the Internet, you should be able to find the video footage from yesterday's live broadcast accident. Anyway, that guy is really awesome now. In less than three minutes, he beat seven or eight dreamers of Hongying with hammers. Not to mention that dog Yunjian, another commander-in-chief of Hongying died! Is this the third one? A white rainbow pierces the sun, a comet hits the moon, what is it called this time? 'All living beings chanting'? Hehe, I guess quite a few people didn't dare to close their eyes last night?"

"But I don't think the police and security guards are nervous at all?"

Tang Mu didn't know if he could say this, so he simply used the G·I force field to ask, but Ji Rui said indifferently:

"It's only a few bucks a month, why risk your life? Besides, that's the legend of Qingyun! Seven or eight dreamers, what does that mean? It took less than a day to flatten a provincial capital! And they laid a net in advance and prepared the ritual structure, but what happened? That guy was flattened in less than three minutes. Do you think being nervous will be helpful?"

At this point, he flexibly switched the G·I force field and transmitted his voice:

"Besides, he is such a hero. If they want to kill someone, they will just kill Gou Yun. What does it have to do with ordinary people like us? If he really shows up, wouldn't we just lie down on the ground and say we were knocked unconscious by his aura? You can see it by watching the video. With such a large-scale structure, there was no accidental injury! Not even the flowers and plants were hurt!"

"Is that so?" Tang Mu felt that he had learned something new, and immediately ordered a cup of fruit tea for his senior. Seeing this, Ji Rui was polite, and then sent Tang Mu a few software that modern people should be able to use. For a moment, the atmosphere in the office became much more harmonious...
