Chapter 10: The Unexpected Mastermind
Half an hour later, He Jia’an and Wei Jiang, the two males, also gathered in the two girls’ room.
After the group thoroughly checked the room, they found another camera in other places inside the room, as well as two listening devices. The voyeurism angles of each camera were flawless, perfectly positioned, and extremely cunning.
Looking at those voyeurism and listening devices placed together, He Jia’an’s facial expression turned grave. He said, “Things are not looking good. We don’t know how much of what we discussed this afternoon was overheard.”
As he spoke, he looked at Li Yingqi and Yu Lianyun, the two victims, and his mood worsened. Li Yingqi was their most important companion and comrade-in-arms, while Yu Lianyun was an important mission protection target. He never expected them to be harmed right under his nose at the same time. This was practically a hard slap to his face.
“Not only that…” Yu Lianyun said through gritted teeth, “The situation is much more serious than any of us imagined. Do you still remember the video tape I mentioned? That video footage carries a heavy blessing. Anyone who watches that video, even if just a fragment, will bear the curse. If that video was recorded and spreads, it will have the same curse effect…”
Hearing Yu Lianyun’s words, and seeing the despair in her eyes, He Jia’an and the others felt as if struck by a bolt from the blue, their scalps tingling.
That video tape!?
What the hell is that video tape? It actually has such terrifying spread ability!?
If the “seven-day death curse” contained in the video tape is real, then how many people who watched that live stream will be cursed? Will those who voyeuristically recorded it spread that video to other places?
This is now a fully networked information society worldwide. Never underestimate the information spread ability of this era.
As long as that video is full of topical traffic and the timing is right, it can easily spread throughout the entire world. At that time, the humans of this world can hold their funerals in advance.
For a moment, He Jia’an, Wei Jiang, and Li Yingqi, like Yu Lianyun, fell into silent despair.
This thing can’t be stopped at all!
Nevertheless, He Jia’an decided to report the matter to the Mysterious Group’s superior first.
Upon receiving the message, the Mysterious Group’s higher-ups also fell into a silence lasting dozens of seconds. For a long time, the mobile phone only transmitted irregular breathing sounds—steady for a while, rapid for a while, then deflated and annoyed low groans.
“Investigate!” In the end, He Jia’an heard his superior utter a single cold word. Though the voice wasn’t loud, He Jia’an could hear the thick killing intent and anger in it.
At this point, the Mysterious Group immediately launched a full-staff comprehensive operation, mobilizing their organization’s information intelligence network to work overtime and pursue the mastermind behind installing the camera in Yu Lianyun’s hotel room.
This concerned a crisis of human survival, and the Mysterious Group’s work efficiency was frighteningly high. Within half an hour, He Jia’an received good news that made everyone breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.
“Great! During the time Yu Lianyun watched the curse video tape indoors, the live streaming was not turned on. The room number’s owner seemed to be busy with her own things, but since the found voyeurism and spying devices are only remote information transmission tools without storage function, there’s a high chance that footage is still in the voyeur’s hands. As long as we act before the other party uploads the recording to the public network, everything can still be in time.” He Jia’an shared the good news from headquarters.
Hearing this good news, everyone couldn’t help but show surprised smiles, and Yu Lianyun felt an even greater sense of relief and joy from having temporarily survived the disaster.
“Where is that person!?” He Jia’an suppressed his joy and hurriedly asked the most critical question, “Where exactly is that voyeuristic villain?”
“According to IP address analysis, the other party is now living in the city where you are, exact address is…” He Jia’an carefully noted down the message from headquarters. He now had to hurry and catch the person and destroy the abnormal spread channels.
Without any hesitation or hesitation, after receiving the instruction to complete the mission at all costs, He Jia’an and Wei Jiang headed out directly into the night. After all, this kind of thing couldn’t be delayed.
Yu Lianyun and Li Yingqi also insisted on following. Li Yingqi wanted to beat the mastermind black and blue, while Yu Lianyun’s idea was even simpler: precisely destroy all video recordings.
Up to now, she still believed that the wail from the phone call connected right after watching the black video tape was from her future self!
He Jia’an, as the leader, did not refuse the two girls’ request. On one hand, Li Yingqi’s hypnotic ability could be useful; on the other, he didn’t mind making some irregular moves for the sake of venting anger.
For a matter directly related to human survival, as long as it could be stopped, no method would be excessive—even knifing that mastermind would be fine.
……
Knock knock knock!
The door of Cui Zhu Neighborhood Building 2, Unit 2, Room 804 was opened. A girl of twelve or thirteen hid half her body behind the door, opening her innocent big eyes and looking cutely at the two uncles who appeared outside the door.
“Is there something wrong?” This girl, probably attending junior high locally, looked warily at the two strange men in front of her. Before He Jia’an and Wei Jiang could say anything, the girl’s facial expression changed completely upon clearly seeing Li Yingqi and Yu Lianyun behind the two men.
Whether out of nervousness or instinct’s intuition, Yu Lianyun suddenly pointed at the girl with great certainty and shouted, “It’s her! She’s the one we’re looking for.”
The girl panicked instantly and immediately tried to close the door to escape, but she was just a powerless little girl in her own house—where could she run?
Wei Jiang blocked with one hand, propping open the door that was about to close, then kicked out with his calf. The door flew open, and he leaped forward like a pouncing vicious dog, quickly pinning the flustered girl to the ground.
The girl wanted to scream, but Wei Jiang didn’t give her the chance and directly clamped her mouth shut tight.
He Jia’an urged Li Yingqi and Yu Lianyun to hurry inside, then he entered the house, carefully closing and locking the door again.
Entering this house of about sixty square meters, He Jia’an observed the furnishings. From the number of water cups on the table and the toothbrush cups in the restroom, he judged that the house was usually lived in by the girl alone.
After walking into the bedroom and seeing those professional information receiving devices, He Jia’an became even more convinced of his judgment. The person in front of him was the culprit.
Li Yingqi could hardly believe that such an outwardly harmless girl was actually the mastermind who persecuted her and Yu Lianyun?
Though somewhat puzzled and reluctant, Li Yingqi, for the sake of the bigger picture, still cast deep hypnosis on the girl, which had a chance of causing idiocy.
Li Yingqi just made a few fancy hand gestures, and the girl was attracted. With a snap of the fingers, the girl completely fell into a hypnosis state.
“What is your name?”
“Yun Wenwen.”
“Why did you do this?”
Girl: “At first, it was because I needed money to live alone. Later, it was because this feeling was great.”
As she spoke, the girl’s sincere subconscious made her face show a pleased smile.
