The male supporting character was actually myself.

As the homeroom teacher, Lu Xinnan is required to attend morning classes every day. Today, in order to celebrate her daughter's birthday, she specially swapped her morning classes with other teachers and rushed home to decorate the room after finishing her morning classes.

I've been feeling really tired lately, but there's no one to help me, so I have to grit my teeth and persevere.

Fortunately, she felt much better after waking up today and felt at ease. She no longer wanted to bother with those unrealistic fantasies. Now she only had one thought in mind—to work and live a good life, take good care of and educate her daughter, watch her grow up, and grow old together.

Nothing is more important than living in the moment and making the most of your life!

"Where is the instruction manual?" She wanted to spend the morning decorating the house into her daughter's favorite themed room while her daughter was at kindergarten, and then surprise her when she picked her up from school in the afternoon.

As Lu Xinnan opened the package hidden in the storage room, wondering how to assemble the parts, a polite and unhurried knock sounded on the door.

"Who is it?" Since there are usually few guests at home, she assumed it was a property management staff member and got up to open the door, asking, "What can I do for you?"

The hallway was slightly dim, but when the door opened, bright sunlight shone on the two people outside, and Lu Xinnan was immediately struck by its brightness.

What handsome young men!

Those long legs, that ascetic face, and that model-like figure...

Is it some celebrity doing a reality show?

Countless possibilities flashed through her mind in an instant, and she opened the door to invite them in.

"Hello, I'm a staff member from the cybersecurity department." Li Chengze took out an ID card from the inside pocket of his sharp suit and showed it to her, explaining, "Our detection has revealed that you have recently engaged in dangerous online browsing behavior, and we would like to understand the situation."

The reason Jiang Chen said this was because he vaguely remembered talking to Lu Xinnan about something important related to the internet, but he couldn't recall the specifics.

It's likely that Horcruxes can only record limited information, so at the time, I chose to preserve other, more important information.

"Huh? No way?" Lu Xinnan's first reaction was—sure enough, all the handsome guys have been handed over to the country!

My second reaction was a bit of confusion. Usually, it's just me and my daughter at home, and we don't have the habit of bypassing the Great Firewall or browsing certain websites. How could there be any dangerous browsing behavior?

"Could there be a mistake? I've never logged into any insecure websites, at most I just watch dramas and shop on apps... Could my Wi-Fi be being used without my permission?"

Jiang Chen glanced around the room; it was clean, cozy, and full of life.

It's clear she's someone who loves life.

Most of the photos hanging on the restaurant wall were of Lu Xinnan and her daughter. Jiang Chen felt very gratified at the thought that she had really gotten rid of the virtual world and returned to reality.

"Don't be nervous, we just detected a dangerous browsing activity so we came to check it out." Li Chengze said with a faint smile, much like a male protagonist in a certain comic book, capable of instantly melting the hearts of the opposite sex.

Lu Xinnan blushed slightly for no apparent reason as she let them in. "Is there anything I need to do to help? I usually only have my phone and laptop connected to the internet."

"Could you please bring your phone and laptop over? Have you visited any unusual websites or downloaded anything recently?"

Jiang Chen suddenly added, "Received emails also count."

“Most of them are work-related…” Lu Xinnan suddenly paused.

For some reason, a voice in her subconscious seemed to be warning her not to touch that email again!

Li Chengze asked in a gentle tone, "Did you remember something?"

"I received an email from a netizen I met on a forum a long time ago." She was a little confused, not understanding where the sense of resistance she felt came from. She hadn't taken it seriously when she watched it, so why did she suddenly feel that the video was dangerous?

Lu Xinnan frowned slightly and shook her head, trying to banish that strange feeling from her mind.

She took out her laptop from the bedroom, opened it, logged into her email, and explained, "I used to be very interested in unsolved scientific mysteries, so I met many like-minded netizens online."

This is one of the videos that was forwarded to me, saying that watching it will allow you to meet God or something.

I watched the video, and apart from the camera making me dizzy, I didn't feel anything else.

but……"

She paused and didn't continue, after all, that warning of danger was just a feeling she had no basis in reality and had no evidence whatsoever.

These two handsome men are professionals; they should be able to tell the difference, right?

Moreover, how dangerous could a short video possibly be?

At most, it might just create a Trojan horse on your computer that spreads viruses. This thing won't infect your phone, so you shouldn't have to worry about your limited bank account balance.

Chapter Four: The State After Modification

"You can meet God by watching videos?" Li Chengze couldn't help but chuckle at this statement.

There have indeed been instances where the abilities of some unknown entity were used to infiltrate videos and cause panic events such as human deaths, infections, and mutations, but the relevant authorities have long since brought these events under control.

Ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent of the so-called music that will make you commit suicide or videos that will attract ghosts that circulate online are fake.

Occasionally, some escaped the net and continued to use the abilities of unknown entities to carry out terrorist activities, but they were basically wiped out as soon as they showed any signs of trouble, and never amounted to anything.

Lu Xinnan was just an ordinary middle school teacher; she had no money or power and had no reason to be targeted.

Those videos are all produced with a specific purpose; they wouldn't be used for such a pointless and indiscriminate attack.

"I also think it's a bit of a publicity stunt." Lu Xinnan smiled sheepishly, but the resistance in her heart made her smile a little forced. Seeing that the slightly taller, handsome man was about to click to browse, she quickly stopped him, saying, "Maybe... don't look at it. It's better to believe it than not!"

At the same time, Jiang Chen quickly blocked his hand from clicking the mouse to open it.

Li Chengze was somewhat surprised, and seeing the two people blocking his way on either side, he had no choice but to give up for the time being.

“We need to take the laptop back to trace the source of the video.” Jiang Chen had roughly understood the situation by now. He took out his phone, opened the online banking app, clicked on the transfer, and then handed the phone to Lu Xinnan. “Enter your bank card number, and I will transfer the bonus for cooperating with the work directly to you.”

Was there really something wrong with the video?

Lu Xinnan became even more certain of her sixth sense.

Fortunately, I don't use my laptop much, and there wasn't any important data on it. After getting her consent, she exported the photos and videos saved on it, and then entered her bank card number, reminding me: "This laptop of mine is four or five years old. I bought it for less than five thousand yuan."

Since your work requires it, just give me whatever you think is appropriate, based on the price for secondhand items.

If... it's just a matter of cooperating with the investigation for a period of time, and the computer can still be used after the information is cleared, then there's no need to transfer money. Just give me an address, and I'll pick it up myself.

Jiang Chen saved the bank card number and handed over the plush toy she had been carrying, saying, "It's a gift for you."

"Oh... thank you!" Lu Xinnan took the cute bunny with a bewildered look, thinking to herself, "These days, the staff of the official departments are so considerate, even bringing gifts when they come to conduct door-to-door investigations?"

After pretending to check the wireless network to make sure her home network was secure and there was no possibility of the emails and videos being leaked, Li Chengze packed up the laptop containing the downloaded videos and smiled, saying, "Thank you for your cooperation. Our staff will send the compensation and bonus to your account later. Please forgive us that the computer cannot be returned for a while."

"It's my duty to cooperate. You can take the computer if you need it."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, as the two were about to leave, Jiang Chen suddenly stopped and solemnly warned, "There are a lot of these deceptive things on the internet disguised as unsolved mysteries."

However, they were mostly pranks.

At first, it gives people a psychological suggestion, and then the images flash by faster and faster, interspersed with a few pictures that the video creator wants everyone to see. Because the frame rate is too fast, it will deceive our eyes and leave the images and feelings in our subconscious.

People who are easily influenced by suggestion may recall images that we 'saw' but were unaware of, and then be advertised as having the ability to communicate with spirits or see gods, Buddhas, or even heaven.

In fact, most of them are fake.

To be precise, 99% of what the public encounters is fake, and if you accidentally come across the remaining 1%, the consequences will be more serious than you imagine.

Li Chengze looked at him in surprise, not understanding why Jiang Chen would suddenly say these things to ordinary people.

“What you just said... seems familiar to me.” Lu Xinnan paused slightly. “Actually, I’ve figured it out now. All unsolved mysteries are just empty words.”

Even if you told me now that ghosts really exist, or other similar theories, I wouldn't be interested anymore.

After all, I'm just an ordinary person. I'm content to be alive and with my family and friends. What's the use of knowing so many secrets? I'm not a chosen one, nor do I have special abilities. Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.

Is this the state after being "modified" by the main system?

Living and working steadily, cherishing the people in front of her, and no longer being curious about or pursuing anything else—that might truly be a better way of life for her.

"Finally, I'd like to ask you a question," Li Chengze said, also quite curious. "Have you ever heard of the name 'Jiang Chen'?"

Lu Xinnan tried to recall for a moment and shook her head, saying, "It feels familiar but I can't remember. It's very likely that one of my students has this name. I've been a teacher for so many years and have taught so many students with all sorts of names, so I can only remember a very few."

The two said goodbye and left. She closed the door and began to seriously study the model of assembling and arranging the room.

Lu Xinnan has absolutely no interest in videos or unsolved mysteries right now.

I don't even want to watch those domineering CEO dramas anymore. They're all just embellishments for the male and female leads. The lucky ones are the ones who get lucky, and the unlucky ones are the supporting characters.

In real life, there are no protagonists. It's much more practical to read useful books and improve yourself than to watch those kinds of stories...

She didn't know why she had these thoughts, but Lu Xinnan felt it was a good feeling. Living in the moment and spending time with family and friends was much better than wasting time on meaningless things and drifting aimlessly through life.

Exploring those dangerous unknowns, what if something happens to you and your child?

The thought of possibly being separated from her beloved daughter forever sent a jolt of pain through Lu Xinnan's heart. Even though she had never experienced it herself, she felt as if she had already tasted that kind of suffering.

To keep the unseen dangers at bay, she decided to abandon all unrealistic ideas from now on and focus on studying, working, and spending time with her children!

"You wouldn't let me watch it earlier, is there really something wrong with the video?" Li Chengze asked as he stepped out of the elevator with his laptop, making sure no one was around.

Jiang Chen took the notebook and instructed, "I will forward you the information of the sender of the email. This time you need to investigate and handle it personally to see if you can find the source of the video."

"But I didn't detect any aura of unknown entities. Could it be that they have evolved to a higher level?"

“It’s not necessarily an unknown entity.” He hesitated slightly and said, “I always feel that Lu Xinnan’s situation has nothing to do with unknown entities. Have someone investigate Qin Rufeng’s whereabouts and interpersonal relationships over the past year.”

Putting aside his part-time job as a hunter and the bizarre circumstances of his death, I'm more curious about how he died suddenly.

There might be some hidden connection between us that we haven't yet discovered.

Before leaving Qinghong County, Li Chengze had already assigned the tasks.

Investigate the source of the video in the email and secretly monitor those who have viewed the video;

A thorough investigation and screening of Qin Rufeng's situation over the past year was conducted.

Meanwhile, the branches in Beijing and Huadu also sprang into action, reporting any leads immediately.

Chapter Five Enemy Attack

"Are you sure you don't want the team to take the videos on your computer for analysis?" Arriving in Angu City around noon, the two had a quick lunch. Li Chengze went back to the team to get his toolbox, still unwilling to give up, and pressed, "What can you do with it?"

Jiang Chen drove him home to examine the traces left by the unknown "Spider-Man" entity, and said casually, "I want to do an experiment; it might come in handy."

Actually, I've been considering the theory we've proposed.

The main system should also be a kind of energy system to some extent, which does match the unknown entity.

By observing Lu Xinnan's condition, I found that the modification of the main system was surprisingly effective.

She has now abandoned all distractions and devoted herself wholeheartedly to work, life, and children, completely lacking the curiosity and exploratory spirit I remembered.

Considering your suggestion that the main system and the unknown entity cooperate to maintain a certain balance, the result does indeed match.
