Chapter 35 Eleven, Twelve
"Wild wolf?"
Wandou, who attended the meeting of the Criminal Investigation Team of City A, relayed the general content to Rong Yuan. Rong Yuan frowned. No one would be happy to know that a group of murderous criminals were lurking where they lived.
"Wadou, can you hack into Interpol's database?" Rong Yuan asked.
"Sure." Wandou said without hesitation. For the optical computer, hacking into the Interpol database was no different from hacking into an ordinary user's computer. The only thing that limited it was the bandwidth.
"Okay, then. I want you to obtain all the information of the Wild Wolf mercenaries, use facial recognition technology to screen them in City A, and notify the police after finding their traces," Rong Yuan said.
"Yes." Pea started working immediately.
Rong Yuan knocked on the table. Hua Yun, who died unexpectedly, had already entered the police's sight. Yelang knew that he was exposed and it was impossible for him not to take any precautions. Disguise his appearance was the minimum requirement. It was likely that the investigation of Wandou would not produce effective results in a short period of time.
"Also, stay highly alert around me, Jin Yang, and Jin Yang's parents. If you find any abnormal situation, no matter when, report it to me immediately!"
"yes."
Rong Yuan thought of Wandou's previous report about the new rules in the Merit Book. He did not ask Wandou to repeat it, but said, "Show me the Merit Book."
Wandou took out the "Book of Merits" from the mustard seed space. Rong Yuan took it and opened the first page. He saw two new rules at a glance -
[Rule 11: Punishing evil is good, but the merits of evil deeds and good deeds follow their own calculation rules and cannot offset each other.]
This one appeared after he assassinated Wang Chunshan. That time, he was deducted 180 merit points by the Merit Book for killing someone, and was awarded 3430 merit points for punishing Wang Chunshan.
After that, there are the rules that appeared at noon today——
[Rule 12: Evildoers whose negative merits reach between 10,000 and 100,000 will be given the title of "Extremely Evil" and their life value will be reduced to one point. The contractor can obtain positive merits equal to their negative merits by punishing them in any way.]
"That is to say, if the negative merits are over 100,000 or 1 million, there will be different titles?" After reading it, Rong Yuan naturally came to this conclusion.
Pea said seriously, "The Book of Merits does not give any relevant rules, so there is no definite conclusion."
Rong Yuan had not expected it to reveal any of the rules that had not yet been revealed in the Merit Book. He said to himself, "I think when the merit value reaches a certain level, there will be a corresponding title - how much merit do I have now?"
"Six hundred and seventy-eight thousand four hundred and twenty," said Pea.
As the scope and impact of the search for wanted criminals became larger and larger, Rong Yuan's daily merit income was more than 10,000, and sometimes it could reach 30,000 or 40,000. The Skynet, which had just been established not long ago, was only exposing businesses related to food safety, and the drug administration's punishment was limited when no major malicious incidents occurred. The merit income brought by this item was not much, at most just over 1,000, and sometimes only a few dozen points.
Rong Yuan asked: "My merits have exceeded 100,000, let alone 100,000. Why haven't I been given a title?"
Rong Yuan felt that he might have seen it wrong, because he actually saw Wandou seemed to give him a blank look.
However, Wandou's voice remained flat and calm: "The merits of the contractor are calculated differently from those of ordinary people. No matter how much, there is no title. If there is a title... the contractor should be calculated to have a negative merit value of 178.5 million."
Rong Yuan snorted silently, feeling that he was looked down upon by the little guy Wandou, but he had really forgotten that he still owed a large sum of money.
"Speaking of this..." After a moment of embarrassment, Rong Yuan thought of something that bothered him: "Is there still no progress in the investigation of that matter?"
Even though there was no clear reference, Pea knew which one he was talking about, because so far, there was only one thing that had gotten him into trouble from the beginning.
So Pea immediately said , "The results of the investigation so far are no different from what I reported to you forty-five days ago."
This was expected, and Rong Yuan was not disappointed. Compared to the urgency and anxiety when he was eager to know the answer when the incident first happened, Rong Yuan was now able to calmly face the fact that the investigation had made no progress.
What he asked Wandou to investigate was what happened to him between September 11th and September 13th.
When he woke up on the morning of September 14, he found that he had lost his memory for three days; he had signed a contract with the "Book of Merits"; and he owed a debt of 178.5 million merit points.
What happened during those three days is the key. At first, Rong Yuan had no ability to track it down, but later he exchanged for a light computer and asked Wandou to use it to search. It turned out that from 8 a.m. on September 11 to 8 a.m. on September 14, a full 72 hours, all the records of surveillance equipment in public places in City A were deleted, and even the records of cameras facing the streets in some private residences or businesses were not saved.
The reason why the owners of these surveillance devices or government departments did not notice that the records were deleted is that the people who deleted the records carefully replaced the current content with the previous records that had expired. Because these public cameras record content that looks different but is actually the same day after day, few people watch it. If you don't check it carefully like Rong Yuan, it would be difficult to detect the replacement.
After discovering this, Rong Yuan did not make a fuss and quietly pressed the button. He knew that the person who could do this either had an optical computer that was beyond the technological level of the time like him, or had a huge power that he could not reach now.
The reason why the other party did not mind the trouble of replacing the surveillance records on such a large scale might be to avoid being tracked down by Rong Yuan. But Rong Yuan felt that thinking this way was not only narcissistic, but also arrogant. When he first got the "Book of Merits", Rong Yuan was not much more threatening to the other party than an ant, and he could be easily killed with a finger. Was it necessary to go to such great lengths?
Compared to this conjecture, Rong Yuan was more willing to believe another idea - the reason why the other party did this was not to guard against Rong Yuan, but to prevent others from following the clues to find Rong Yuan. As for the purpose, maybe it was to make a profit from the rare goods, maybe it was for... protection.
Protect Rong Yuan, who became a contractor of the "Book of Merits" at that time but had no ability to protect himself.
But these are just guesses. He has no way of knowing the truth until he has more clues.
Therefore, Rong Yuan was not in a hurry to know what happened at that time. When he should know, the answer will naturally appear. And if he still doesn't know... maybe it's not a bad thing.
The unknown opponent remained silent, and the greater threat now was still the Wild Wolf mercenaries who came to City A for unknown reasons.
His strength, agility and physique are all developing towards surpassing ordinary people, but if he fights with real mercenaries, life and death are only a matter of seconds, and most of the time he will die while others live. After all, there is a huge difference in experience and skills. Rong Yuan used to fight in a wild way. Although he only took one class with Alan Neil in the fighting class, Rong Yuan also felt that he benefited a lot. He found that he still needed to learn a lot in terms of skills.
Rong Yuan raised his chin and asked Wandou: "Wandou, are there any good martial arts secrets that can be exchanged in the mall?"
