Chapter 652 The Problem Is This City (Da Zhang asks for a monthly pass)
click -

The closed door opened, and He Ao entered the room with his sleeping granddaughter in his arms.

The moment he entered the living room, a pop-up window popped up on He Ao's bracelet.

This is the connection between the wristband and the security system in the house.

Seato bought the security system for the house when he was an associate superintendent.

It has been nearly 20 years since the system was first installed.

Most of the structures of these systems are old and damaged, and Xito used the parts he bought in the second-hand market and barely used them.

"Eve, take over the security system for this house."

He Ao lifted the door with his feet and gently closed it.

"Okay, connecting," Eve's voice sounded in He Ao's earphones, "The connection is successful."

Immediately afterwards, the creaking sound of the door being locked came from behind He Ao, "It has entered the alert mode, the doors and windows have been closed, all the sensing devices are functioning well, and no signs of damage or intrusion have been found."

Hearing Eve's words, He Ao breathed a sigh of relief. He carefully held his granddaughter and walked toward the depths of the room.

The existence of Eve cannot improve the capabilities of the original old hardware of the security system, but she can greatly improve the overall sensing sensitivity and response ability of the entire system through more advanced intelligent algorithm calculations.

Fortunately, Xito bought a security system from a small factory before. Although the software optimization of the entire system is not very good, it does not restrict users from accessing external masterminds.

If you purchased a security system from a large consortium like the Trisun Group, any access to non-Trisen Group hardware or software would cause the security system to lock itself.

This self-locking program is nominally to protect the safety of the user, but as the owner of the house, the user cannot open the door of his own house after the security system self-locks.

Of course, the fundamental reason for the existence of this self-locking program, in addition to possible security factors, is to enclose users into the consortium's own traffic pool, so that users can only continue to purchase the supporting equipment and services provided by the consortium. Software service monthly package.

However, Xito didn't think so much at the time. He didn't even plan to buy a security system at that time. It was just that the small factory was about to close down, and the price was extremely low, so he bought this security system.

After buying it, he also found that the company's system was actually very good, even if it was bought at the original price, it was worth the money, but unfortunately that small company eventually closed down.

"Eve, help me find all the information on the 'black market' where gangs can be hired to kill."

He Ao hugged his granddaughter, walked to the door of the innermost bedroom, and asked in a low voice.

"Okay, searching for you."

Along with Eve's voice rang in He Ao's ears, and then he walked towards the innermost room.

"According to your keywords, I retrieved 15 pieces of information. After screening the information, I screened out 730 pieces of valid information. A brief summary of these pieces of information is as follows,"

After a short pause, Eve's voice sounded again,
"'Black market' is a special term for a private domain network for underground transactions. This network cannot be retrieved through search engines or retrieval methods on the surface network, and can only be accessed through a specific terminal software bound to a personal account after an encrypted link.

"The main function of the black market is an online 'trading market'. The operators of the black market do not issue and execute tasks, but users issue and execute tasks themselves.

"There are currently a large number of private domain networks that operate similarly in the federal 'dark net', but the 'black market' is the largest and possibly the oldest.

"According to some information, the black market can provide access services in all cities across the federation.

"However, there are less than [-] cities that can effectively issue commissions or accept commissions in the 'black market', and less than [-] cities that have a large number of user groups and can smoothly conduct 'transactions'. Including the top [-] big cities in the federation."

While listening to Eve's narration, He Ao carefully pushed open the bedroom door in front of him, carefully placed Jia Qian on the bed, took off her shoes, and covered her with a thin quilt.

After completing these, he had time to sort out the information Eve just said.

It seems that this 'black market' is actually a communication platform for the underground world.

The things that are just exchanged are most likely prohibited by federal law.

In fact, most cities in the Federation have similar platforms, because consortiums or other employers must have a communication channel with the underground world that does dirty work, so as to facilitate things that cannot be done by the sun.

In Dawn City, the consortium and the big gang communicate directly, and the big gang controls the entire underground world.

In Wittland, indirect communication is carried out through a 'middleman' like Haixi.

However, in small cities like Rock City and Limen City, which were completely controlled by a single group before, the underground world is often directly controlled by the consortium, so it is difficult to distinguish between light and darkness.

Different cities have different ecologies.

And this 'black market' platform has been able to exist for so many years, and there is a high probability that it has become a communication channel between light and darkness in the city it serves as its core service, and even itself may be established and controlled by certain financial groups.

He Ao stood up and looked at the decoration in the room.

This room is the room where my son lived in when he was a child. On the wall next to the bed is a large ink screen display. This kind of display is not high-precision and is dedicated to displaying posters or simple hanging pictures.

Users can switch the screen they want according to their preferences.

At this moment, what is displayed on the monitor is a cool mecha poster. This is not Jiaqian's replacement, but the last poster that Xito's son Kavi put on before graduating from university.

Kavey was not a particularly rambunctious child since he was a child. Although there were times when he was rebellious and quarreled with Sito, most of the time, he was relatively quiet.

He Ao turned his head and looked at the wall opposite the bed.

There is a small desk and a small bookshelf.

Kavey's hobby since he was a child was reading, but physical books are a very expensive 'luxury' in the Commonwealth. It took Xito a long time to collect books for his son to collect such a small shelf of books.

Every time he has enough money, he will spare some money and buy a book for his son. He enjoys his son's excited and joyful expression when he gets the book.

Of course, when his son quarreled with him, he would swear to his wife that he would never buy books for this brat again.

He Ao walked to the desk and sat down on the desk chair against the wall. He glanced at the old metal toys on the desk, the standing bookends, and the yellowed books leaning on the bookends.

He took out a book standing in the corner, stroked the wrinkled hard cover with wrinkled and withered hands, and asked in a low voice,
"Is there any way to get permission to enter the 'black market'?"

"Based on the information retrieved,"

Eve replied, "Currently, there are two ways to obtain permission to enter the black market. One is to contact a person or group code-named 'Drawer' through the introduction of old members and acquaintances, and buy black market terminals and registration numbers from him.
"The second is to buy their accounts from people who already have black market accounts. However, black market accounts are all bound to devices, and trading accounts can only be carried out through trading devices. The black market does not restrict account transactions, but the same person cannot be in the ' drawer to purchase another account registration number."

There are two ways, register a new account, or buy someone else's account.

Hearing what Eve said, Heo thought for a moment and asked,

"Have you found anyone who might be selling black market accounts or who can 'introduce' new people?"

"Five people who clearly stated on the Internet that they want to sell their accounts are found in different cities. Fifteen people have also expressed that they can 'paid' introduce people to 'Drawer',"

Eve replied, "But according to the associated accounts and past information of these 50 people, there is a probability of more than [-]% that they are all scammers operating in the name of the black market."

It seems that there are not many members of the black market who are really exposed on the surface Internet, so that there are scammers who can use the name of the black market to confuse people.

Most people in the underground world don't actually need to use the 'black market', they just need to follow the orders of their boss or boss.

The only people who really need the black market to accept or issue commissions are the leaders of gangs, solo travelers, or people or financial groups with certain financial resources.

In other words, although the black market covers a large area, the number of users should not be large, and most of them are core users. These users basically have their own small social circles or their own channels, and there is no shortage of small money. No need to 'pull new' or sell accounts to make money on the surface internet.

Therefore, real black market users do not expose themselves very much.

Among them, the black market operators may also consciously clean up the information of the black market on the surface Internet in order to avoid attracting attention.

It seems that if you want to get an 'account' in the black market, you still have to find a way to start around San Jon City.

After all, since Werther can be hired to kill people and has the habit of often using the black market, this proves that San Jon City may be one of the thirty cities where the black market can "trade" smoothly.

Then there should be a lot of black market users in the city itself.

However, He Ao did not give up searching for information on the Internet. He put the book in his hand on the table and said slowly,

"Further search for in-depth information about the black market, and then contact those [-] people in the form of an anonymous trumpet to see if they can get any effective information. Even a liar needs something before he dares to cheat."

"Ok."

Eve responded, and then her voice slowly fell silent.

He Ao put his eyes on the book in his hand.

In fact, even without the black market account and deeper information, He Ao can still deduce some information from the attributes of the 'black market'.

The 'clients' who are active on the black market are nothing more than consortium organizations and some temporary clients who have entered the black market through certain channels.

And the "commissioner" who "commissioned" him to set the fire in Werther's memory was an obvious regular customer, that is, the person who often issued commissions.

Most normal people don't have so many enemies to kill. Only consortiums or related large organizations will have objects that they want to clean up constantly, and they will continue to send tasks.

Only then will there be so much money to pay the commission fee.

Moreover, this consortium or organization has relatively large interests involved in San Jon City, so they have so many enemies in San Jon City.

It's a pity that Witte didn't give more obvious and accurate information in his messy thoughts.

But all things need to be done by someone. Follow up with some members of the Eagle Claw Gang and ask them for relevant information. Through this line of the Eagle Claw Gang, it may be possible to restore some of the "commissions" that Werther once took over, and then Further narrow down the scope of the identity of the 'client' standing behind Werther.

Howard did not pin all his hopes on the line of 'black market'.

Because judging from the information Witte felt, Witte seemed to be very familiar with that 'client', so familiar that he didn't look like a 'netizen' across the Internet.

So the 'commission' given to Werther by the client from the black market may not have really gone through the black market.

After all, the platform also knows the information from the black market platform.

In terms of confidentiality, any online platform is not as reliable as offline communication.

The reason why Werther's first reaction was the black market was probably just because the client came from the 'black market'.

In fact, He Ao, who has been influenced by Werther's thoughts, initially thought that the 'black market' was just an offline underground market.

Of course, all this information needs further investigation to find clues.

Even if the client communicated with Werther offline, the other party would not only look for Werther as an 'executor'.

It is still possible for the other party to be active on black market websites.

He Ao collected his thoughts and focused on the books in his hands.

This book is not placed on a bookshelf, but on a bookend on a desk.

Carvey has a habit of putting books on the desk that he has just read and not finished.

As far as Xito can remember, this book was not on the desk a few months ago.

When Jia Qian was fostered here for the first time, Carvey once lived here for a few days.

At that time, Xito made a small bed for Jiaxi alone, and Kavey slept in this childhood room.

Howard opened the cover of the book.

This book is very old, and the pages are a little yellowed. This is a book that records ghost legends that Xito found for his son in the second-hand book market.

It's been about 30 or [-] years.

The main content of this book is to talk about some urban legends, or the content of wild wonders.

There are many marks or notes made by Carvey in the book. He enjoys recording the thinking process in his own book.

Of course, most of the thinking above is simple and superficial. In fact, most of the content of this book can only be regarded as a collection of fantasy stories.

In the opinion of He Ao, who has a real experience of living in the wilderness, most of the content in this book is a "guess" about the wilderness by a person living in the city, and many of them are not in line with the actual situation.

But amidst the rambling tales, there are some grotesque ones, but ones that could really come from the wilderness.

For example, the story that Howao turned to at the moment.

This story tells about a deep valley in the wilderness. There is a lush forest growing in the valley, which seems to be full of life, but all animals that approach the valley will mutate into crazy and twisted monsters.

In fact, this is a story that tells the story of the contaminated area.

This kind of place full of inexplicable pollution is actually very common in the wilderness.

The reason why He Ao paid attention to this story was because this page was folded by Kawei.

He Ao opened the fold, and saw rows of somewhat chaotic handwriting under the fold.

[Why do pollution monsters exist? ]
[Why do they take these monsters for granted? ]
[When I was studying in Chenxi City, I never saw this kind of thing. ]
[Or is it also in Chenxi City, but I haven't found it yet? ]
[According to the information from the Pollution Cleanup Department, the area in the northwest of the city, where my father lives, is the area with the least pollution outbreak. What is there? ]
[Kathy should be safe staying with her father]
These writings stopped abruptly here,
Howe turned to the next page.

At the same crease position, there is a line of writing that is newer than the previous writing:
[we have to leave as soon as possible]
[The city in question]
Before Carvey disappeared more than a month ago, he had visited Sito.
