The legend of Tiga

Chapter 2008 Faibas
The personnel go down to the grassroots level!
Visit, communicate, ask, and record!
The top management of TPC took the opportunity of the investigation to launch a large-scale survey of the lower classes of society.

The more I looked, the more surprised I became; the more I investigated, the more silent I became.

I usually don’t pay attention to it, I just took a quick glance at the reports and summarized data, and I thought they were so beautiful.

The world is thriving, people are living and working in peace and contentment, technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, and the future of mankind is bright.

But this time when I looked down, I was surprised to find that the world is so beautiful, but people are in dire straits.

The unemployment rate obtained through field surveys is frighteningly high, and most of the jobs are for people with low education and weak abilities, who rely entirely on physical strength to earn hard-earned money.

For example, Katsuma Ikuta worked on manual drawing for nearly ten years, which was hard work. He would sit there all day with just a pencil and a piece of drawing paper.

However, the rapid advancement of technology is not only limited to computer drawing tools, but has also developed AI drawing, which is faster and has a lower error rate than manual drawing, and most importantly, is cheaper than manual drawing.

Mr. Gaoshan's taxi industry has also been replaced by increasingly mature driverless cars, which has also destroyed the long- and short-distance freight industries, all of which have been replaced by driverless trucks.

Logistics costs have been greatly reduced, benefiting many parties, and the consumer end has also enjoyed a slight price reduction. The only ones who have suffered losses are the truck drivers who have been driving trucks all their lives but are suddenly eliminated.

There are many similar situations. The development of technology has made life more convenient, but it has also destroyed many industries.

And this cannot be said to be wrong.

Just like the emergence of cars caused coachmen to lose their jobs; the popularization of self-service ticket purchasing systems caused ticket sellers to lose their jobs; the development of mobile phones has caused many industries to lose their prospects.

Therefore, the "tragedy" of Katsuma Ikuta can only be said to be an inevitable result of development, but no matter what, a speck of dust of the times can be as heavy as a mountain when it falls on an individual.

TPC did not include them in its vigorously promoted new field plan because it needed high-tech talents. Even if they wanted to build a house on Mars, they would need to have certain mechanical knowledge.

What is even more frightening is that many of these unemployed people have disappeared, with no one at home, no relatives or friends knowing about them, and even their shopping and phone records stopped being updated one day.

What this means can be imagined even with the duodenum.

Therefore, within two days of the investigation being launched, TPC’s top management realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately dispatched the Super Victory Team and the Space Adventure Team to join in, just in case.

Well, actually there is no need to be on guard. So many people, especially a large number of specific people, are missing. If there is no trick, it would be weird.

"Could it be done by aliens?"

Asuka Xin flipped through the tablet in his hand back and forth, muttering to himself. His head ached from reading so much, but he couldn't make any sense, let alone find any clues.

Da Gu, who was driving the patrol car next to him, said without turning his head: "What else?"

Although it is not a good idea to think this way, most of these missing persons are in their thirties, forties or even fifties. None of them are in their prime of youth and naturally not very pretty. Some of the older ones are sickly and have to take medicine all year round. It is estimated that they would have difficulty picking cotton, let alone doing hard, heavy and tiring work.

Let’s put it this way, these people are worthless even if they are taken apart, let alone as a whole.

Therefore, kidnapping these people is not cost-effective in any way.

This is also something that is puzzling. If it was aliens who did this, what did they want?

In other words, what value can be extracted from these people?

"Ugh!!!"

Dagu also felt a headache. He racked his brains but still couldn't figure it out.

We can only continue to visit and investigate, collect more intelligence, in order to find more clues, so as to analyze the kidnapper's purpose, and then, based on the other party's purpose, reversely deduce the other party's behavior, and finally arrest him.

But I just took one step and got stuck here.

That is, there are no clues.

TPC has visited and investigated so many people, and collected so much information that it could fill a car, but even with the use of supercomputers, it has not been able to find the intersection of these people.

Originally, TPC intended to use enough information to find the intersections of these people in life, work, and even on the Internet, and then draw a line based on this point, and eventually expand it to a surface.

It's a pity that most of the people have no intersection. They are absolute strangers who have never met in this life and have no contact with each other, but they have reached a consensus on the matter of "disappearance".

"What a headache!"

When Dagu thought about his experiences this week, he felt as if he was in another world. He didn't know how he got through it, nor did he know how long it would last.

I'm not afraid of hardship and fatigue, but if the hard work and fatigue don't bring any rewards, it will be a big blow to morale.

This can be seen from Asuka Shin's performance. This kid is usually the most energetic, but now he is slumped in his chair. If he wasn't fastened with a seat belt, he would have slipped under the seat. He was still 'wailing' in his mouth: "When will this kind of life end?"

".I want to know too." Da Gu muttered in his heart, because he was more tired. He was much older than Asuka Shin, and neither energy nor physical strength could compare to the young Asuka Shin. However, he had no less things to do than Asuka Shin, but even more. How could he not be tired?
Just as I was sighing, the speaker in the patrol car suddenly rang.

drop!drop!drop!
Then, a picture appeared on the front windshield of the car, which was a communication request.

"Jeanswest, connect the video."

As soon as Da Gu finished speaking, TPC smart butler Jeanswest followed the voice instructions, answered the video call, and made Ken Fudo appear on the small screen. He said with joy: "Deputy Captain, I am currently in the N9 area. This family provided an important clue. Before the missing person disappeared, he kept saying that he was going to a new world where he didn't have to work or toil, there was no oppression or discrimination, everything was completely equal, and everyone could pursue their dreams."

"squeak--"

Dagu stepped on the brakes and stopped the car. These words were not exactly the same as the message that was played in a loop on the transmitter found on the iron tower in the metropolis, but there was no difference.

Soon, Ken Budong sent the missing person's information and the records of his visit. The missing person was very young, and even if he was not the youngest among the missing persons, he was probably in the first tier.

His name is Yukiji Yamaguchi. He is only 23 years old this year and has graduated from university for less than a year. However, he has not found a job and has been staying at home.

According to the parents of the missing persons, they had many quarrels with their children during this year, and the focus of the conflicts was on work.

I have graduated from college, but I don't want to work and want to stay at home.

This was difficult for the Yamaguchi couple to accept and they were very disappointed.

They work hard to raise their children and save money to send their children to school, all for the sake of their children finding a good job, finding a good wife, and living a good life.

As a result, even though Yamaguchi Yukiji has graduated, he still has to live off his parents at home, and he may even stay in the house all day except for eating and going to the toilet.

In order to let the children go out and find a job, not to mention making money, at least they can meet more people and communicate more, so as not to be isolated from the society. It would be even better if they can find a girlfriend.

But no matter how earnestly he advised or how harshly he scolded, it had no effect on Yamaguchi. It basically went in one ear and out the other. Yamaguchi was completely unmoved, so the conflict between the two sides became more and more serious, and they almost beat the child.

According to the Yamaguchi couple, the reason why Yamaguchi Yukiji did not go out to work was because he was addicted to games. He played games every day and watched videos every night. He would rather work on his own and have enough food and clothing than find a girlfriend.

As a result, the child's personality changed drastically, and he was no longer as well-behaved as he was when he was a child. The Yamaguchi couple blamed the game for this, and they complained bitterly to Ken Fudo and accused the game company of crimes. They were almost about to let Ken Fudo fly a fighter jet and blow the game company to the ground.

"game?"

Daigu listened to Ken Fudo's story and looked at Yamaguchi Koji's online records. It was indeed as the Yamaguchi couple said. Yamaguchi Koji played games for an average of about eleven hours a day. This was definitely a serious addiction.

Such a otaku still lives in his parents' house and doesn't even need to order takeout. The only way for him to connect with the outside world is through the computer. A check of Yamaguchi Yukiji's social software records shows that although Yamaguchi Yukiji has many friends in social software, he rarely contacts them. Most of the time, he does not use social software once a week or two.

In this case, after eliminating other wrong answers, only the option of 'game' remains.

It is very likely that Koji Yamaguchi was seduced by the aliens through the game.

"Yes, there is a chat function in the game, and the game data is exchanged so frequently, it is very easy to hide some information." Dagu suddenly felt as if he had suddenly realized something.

Compared with the old digital and analog signals, the information transmitted over the Internet is enormous. 1MB of data contains words, and the size of an online game is often over GB. Once it is running, the data exchange per second is also very frequent. Not to mention a few KB of information, even a few MB or tens of MB will be very inconspicuous.

Do it as soon as you think of it. Da Gu immediately called Asuka Shin and asked him to send a letter to the headquarters to check the missing persons and their connection with the game.

Thanks to the TPC top management's attention to this incident, even different departments received a response quickly.

According to Internet records, 3% of the missing persons have played games, some on mobile phones, some on computers, some playing large online games, some playing A masterpieces, some playing web puzzle games, and some playing
It was precisely because they played different games and were in different gaming areas that this intersection was not found during the initial investigation.

But now it was noticed by Dagu, and based on this he thought of something even more "terrible".

These missing people were playing different games, but they all disappeared.

This means that it is not a problem with a particular game, but it is very likely that all games on the market are mixed with the private goods of aliens to lure humans and change humans quietly.

Since the Internet is involved, it is not something that the Space Adventure Team can solve. Therefore, Dagu immediately summarized his guesses into a report through Jeanswest and submitted it, and made a suggestion, which is to let the comprehensive computer technology agency intervene in the network investigation to verify whether his guess is correct as soon as possible.

However, Dagu did not just sit there doing nothing. Instead, he re-read the information of the missing persons, trying to see if he could find something new from the information after having new directions and new speculations.

After flipping through it, I actually found something.

That is, the games on the market, especially the popular games, whether they are large-scale online games, mobile games, or stand-alone 3A masterpieces, most of them are produced by a company called FAIVAS (Fiber Optic).

It is known for its exquisite graphics, fascinating plot, and reasonable pay-to-win points. As a result, it has developed into a behemoth in just a few years, occupying half of the gaming industry, and continues to squeeze out market share from other companies with its high-quality games.

Ninety percent of the games played by the missing Yamaguchi Koji were produced by this company.

so.
Could this be related?
An idea popped up in Dagu's mind, and he felt that this was possible. After all, it would be easy for a company to mix something into it when it occupied such a large market share.

Even if this company is not involved, it may have been implanted with a virus or program similar to a "Trojan horse" to replace the analog digital signal transmitter and become a "transmitter" in the new field era.

"It seems necessary to investigate." Dagu thought to himself, then took a car and rushed back to the headquarters.

He doesn't know anything about games. After all, he doesn't like smoking, drinking, or playing games. His understanding of games is only superficial.

Fortunately, he knew a game fanatic who was also a game master.

"FAIVAS?" When Nori, who was asked by Daigu for help, heard the name of this company, his voice rose several degrees, and he even screamed.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?"

"Of course." Ye Rui realized that he was too excited, and quickly calmed down, saying: "This is a legendary game company. The games they release are very profitable. Very profitable."

While emphasizing, Ye Rui also produced data to support their statement, allowing Da Gu to see what the "money printing" level of making money speed is.

A single game can sell for tens or even hundreds of billions of dollars, a level that many companies cannot achieve, but it was easily achieved by a gaming company.

"Maybe a virus or something was implanted into it." Asuka Shin added.

"Impossible," Nori shook his head and said, "Karen is in charge of the company's network security, there will be no problem."
