The ability of the search team is far beyond SCI's imagination, and the position is quite just. Perhaps because there is a baby sister at home, the brothers of the Liang family hate crimes such as stalking women.

Bai Yutang also felt it was necessary to investigate every user who participated in the game trial and let Jiang Ping cooperate with the Xunwu Squad. Chen may not be the only person Yu Yang has followed. Yu Yang was proficient in the crime and prepared it well, and always felt that there were other victims.

Everyone decided to go to the Science and Technology Exhibition first, learn about the magic company and the weird game they developed, and then go to the mental hospital to find out about the situation with Chen.

Zhan Zhao sat in the car and looked through the information about Chen that Jiang Ping collected and her medical treatment in the mental hospital.

After reading it, Zhan Zhao asked Zhao Jue what he thought.

Zhao Jue has reservations about the diagnosis of "paramagic disorder" and "neurological division" in the case.

"It feels not as simple as being frightened." Zhao Jue said, "Maybe the situation is similar to what Hou Yingqi had in the basement of the Shen family before."

Zhan Zhao also agreed.

Bai Yutang asked, "Are you hypnotized?"

"There is this possibility." Zhan Zhao felt that he could make further confirmation later.

...

I drove to the Science and Technology Museum and found that there were more people than I thought.

Bai Yutang parked the car, everyone got out and walked into the Science and Technology Museum.

Perhaps because Jiang Ping often popularized some high-tech products to everyone, he did not feel much stunning after entering the exhibition hall.

On the contrary, Bai Yutang thinks that this is better called a game exhibition than a technology exhibition.

There are not many technological exhibits applied to people's livelihood, but there are many different ones applied to games.

Bai Yutang looked at the large screens, interactive game experiences in each exhibition area, various strange game warehouses and game chairs, and players wearing VR and holding controllers, and felt that they had missed the game exhibition.

Everyone quickly found the area where Magic Company is located.

The exhibition area is very simple to arrange, with few products, only one large screen.

Several staff members were debugging the equipment, and some passersby passed by, but they didn't take a look at it.

Zhao Jue was attracted by the mechanical dog next door. Bai Ye felt that the thing didn't look like a dog, like a walking table.

Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang was just passing by the showcase, and he didn't want to show it too obviously.

Fortunately, a lot of people gathered in front of the exhibition area of ​​Magic Company, most of whom were invited to participate in the competition.

Bai Yutang and Bai Ye looked at the time. According to the activity prompts on the display, in ten minutes, the activity of Magic Company will begin.

On the big screen, the image of a wizard appeared.

Bai Ye and Bai Yutang wanted to ask Zhao Jue and Zhan Zhao to take a look, but when they turned their heads, they found that the two were missing...

After walking a few steps forward, they saw that the two of them had already run to the showcase next door to see the electronic fish.

Bai Yutang thinks that electronic fish is pretty good, clean and hygienic, and the fish won’t die if they don’t need to be fed. It’s much better than real fish, and the posture of swimming in the water is also very silky.

This fish is a bit big... Bai Yutang asked Bai Ye what the name is? Whale shark? Is it a bit exaggerating to put it at home?

Bai Ye was powerless to complain, thinking that it would be enough to just play the underwater world in a loop on the entire big screen. I also raised such a large fake fish in a tank of water. What should I do if I run out of electricity?

At this moment, the surroundings suddenly became dark.

The big screen of the magic showcase begins to play promotional videos.

When Zhao Jue and Zhan Zhao remembered the fact that they came back, there were already people here.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao both saw Shi Zhu and Liang Xiaoyu not far away.

The four of them remained silent and mixed into the crowd to watch the promotional video.

Zhan Zhao looked around, wanting to see what the boss of this company looked like.

But as the "wizard" on the display began to speak, everyone frowned - the boss of this company actually appeared in the form of a virtual character.

Zhan Zhao muttered to Bai Yutang in a low voice, "Are you so cautious?"

Zhao Jue casually found someone watching and asked him who the boss of this company was.

As a result, several people pointed to the virtual character who was invisible on the screen, "This is the boss of magic."

According to legend, the boss of magic has never shown himself to be true, and even the employees of the company have never seen the boss in real life. Every time, virtual characters appear.

There are even rumors that the real boss of this company is a robot.

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao both felt a little irritating when they heard it. There must be a legal person to register a company, and the legal person must be a natural person... I have never heard of robots registering and opening a company.

The "wizard" spoke the rules of this competition in electronic voice on the screen, and the style was like a kidnapped and asked for ransom.

Bai Yutang listened in detail and said that the content of this competition was to improve the recommended performance of the wizard.

Simply put, just like the current big data recommendation, recommend products according to the user's personal preferences.

The virtual character of the wizard should recommend action plans and game suggestions based on the user's preferences.

Afterwards, the game's promotional video began to be played on the big screen, introducing the functions of the wizard in detail.

Zhan Zhao discovered that this wizard has a special trading function in the game.

Usually, after playing a game for a period of time, players will encounter some difficult levels. At this time, it is usually time to need krypton gold, but this game is not. When it is difficult for players to pass the level, the wizard will ask whether to start the transaction. As long as the player agrees to the transaction, the wizard will replace the player to complete the game. In return, the player does not need to pay, but only needs to complete a task according to the wizard's requirements.

This task is also very strange, not in the game, nor in reality, but in a virtual box.

The so-called virtual box is a virtual identity of the player in the game.

For example, the player's identity in the game may be an assassin... but his identity in the virtual box may be a chef.

The real identity of the player in real life is a salesperson.

In other words, players also live a dual life in the game. The wizard requires players to complete the tasks as transactions in a virtual world that has nothing to do with the game and reality.

These tasks are usually very exaggerated... For example, the salesman mentioned above asked the wizard to help him pass a sad level as an assassin in the game. The wizard would propose a transaction and let him give laxatives to the guests in the restaurant in the virtual box as a chef. Of course, these are all virtual, so players basically complete the wizard's transaction without psychological burden.

After Zhan Zhao understood the details of the "transaction", he felt it was inappropriate.

"This is similar to a kind of brainwashing," said Zhan Zhao. "Because this price is in the virtual world, players will use it in large quantities, gradually becoming paralyzed, and the sense of boundary disappears..."

Bai Yutang asked, "Does the boundaries between virtual and reality be blurred once you are paralyzed? For example, if the wizard asks the player to sell fake goods in reality as the real identity of a salesperson, he will go there too?"

"Subtle influence will have a certain impact on people." Zhan Zhao frowned, "I feel that in the core, it has the same effect as the contract of the woman in red."

"It's not so much brainwashing, but rather screening." Zhao Jue interrupted.

Zhan Zhao thought about it and asked, "It's just like a phone fraud?"

"Well." Zhao Jue nodded, "Actually, most scam calls are ridiculous. Only one person in a hundred people will be caught. But the target of the scammer is the one who will be caught. So the real scam starts with filtering out that person."

"After selecting a specific target, they will be allowed to participate in the trial of the newly developed game." Bai Yutang thought of Yu Yang's case, "Just like Yu Yang... Will his series of actions of stalking and harassing Chen also have something to do with this game?"

Zhan Zhao thinks it is very likely.

Magic's activity ended quickly. After receiving some gifts and brochures, the participating team members went home.

Shi Zhu and Liang Xiaoyu also went back first.

Bai Yutang received a call from Ma Han. He and Zhao Hu found Yu Yang's residence and work place based on the clues provided by the search team.

Zhan Zhao and the others immediately left the Science and Technology Exhibition, wanting to meet Zhao Hu and Ma Han first, and observe Yu Yang by the way.

Every time Yu Yang moves, he will change jobs in another company.

Currently he lives on the third floor of a high-end apartment building in downtown S., and his work location is about fifteen minutes away from home.

Zhao Hu and Ma Han parked their car at the entrance of his community, preparing to wait for news about Showa Bai Yutang.

Seeing that it was noon and the two had not eaten yet, Zhao Hu asked Ma Han to wait in the car, and he went to a nearby convenience store to buy some food.

Huzi walked into the convenience store and studied bread and rice balls in front of the shelves. While sending a message to ask Ma Han what to eat and whether to drink coffee.

At this time, a young woman also walked into the convenience store.

Walking past Zhao Hu, reaching out to grab a bottle of yogurt on the shelf and another box of sushi.

When Zhao Hu saw that she seemed to be familiar with her, he asked her if the sushi was delicious.

The girl looked up at Zhao Hu.

Hu Zi didn't look at Hu Zi, but as a policeman, he felt that the girl seemed to be shocked by him.

Zhao Hu has a very familiar personality, with a relatively easy-going temperament and easy to get close to. Qi Le saw him tight because he was lively, just like a husky person, which was very popular among girls.

But this girl looked a little alert when she saw Zhao Hu. Hu Zi was a little hurt. Does she look like a suspicious person?

At this time, his cell phone rang.

The girl took the sushi and whispered "It's OK" and hurried to pay.

Hu Zi tactfully gave in to the side, standing where the girl couldn't see her, so as not to be afraid.

I took out my phone and looked down. It was sent by Ma Han - Yu Yang came out.

Zhao Hu quickly took some food and was about to go there... But when he looked up, he saw Yu Yang standing at the opposite bus stop through the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the convenience store, looking at the direction of the convenience store door.

At the same time, I heard the induction doorbell ringing at the door of the convenience store, and the girl just pushed the door and went out.

At the angle where Zhao Hu was standing, he happened to see Yu Yang starting to move. He put his cell phone in one hand and the other, as if he was an ordinary passerby.
To be continued...
