Yu Tang prepared a careful plan.

Pu Ying went out the next day, and met a photography student on the way from the hotel to the investigation team.

The student was carrying a sack and just passed out in front of Pu Ying's car.

After the student woke up, he told Pu Ying that his rental house had been seized, his part-time studio had closed down, his family had ten siblings to support, and he had been homeless on the streets for half a month. .

The student said that he was unwilling to accept any funding, and only hoped that someone could buy the [-] professional photography books and a medium-format high-end professional digital SLR camera that he had bought with savings over the years.

……

Yu Tang manipulated the temporarily generated photography students, and looked at the system a few times hesitant to speak: "What's the problem, the logic still doesn't make sense?"

System: "...No."

It's so clear.

If it wasn't for Pu Ying, anyone else would have to call and put this impostor liar in a sack and carry him to the police station.

It shouldn't have blindly believed in its host yesterday, and handed over the creation of the characters to Yu Tang and Xiaohongka.

... Fortunately, Pu Ying has no guard against this kind of evil in the world.

Not long after leaving the electronic storm, Pu Ying was picked up by the Pu family.The Pu family carefully cultivated him as an heir, and only taught him the intrigues in business and the infighting in politics.

No one has ever taught Pu Ying that if a person with a sack in his arms bumps into a stationary car at a red light and faints in front of the car with a bang, most likely he is planning to extort his money.

The system sighed against the screen full of snowflakes, took advantage of Puying's inattention, and quietly added a few crooked and desolate patches to the sack.

"That's the price of books and cameras."

In reality, Pu Ying has already written a check: "Is your photography studio still there?"

"..." Yu Tang who manipulated the students: "?"

"It's okay." Pu Ying said.

He asked World Geography about St's identity through the Pu family's relationship.The other party protects the privacy of the contributors and did not give a clear answer, only saying that he is a part-time freelance contributor.

When the editor-in-chief of "World Geography" mentioned this photo, he was vague, as if there was something hidden, and finally sighed.

The editor-in-chief said that although this photo was submitted for publication recently, it must have been taken a long time ago.

St's photos of chasing extreme weather were once famous throughout the photography world.

For two years, the best sections of those big magazines and websites were reserved for "Storm". The strong tension and vitality that can be gushed out of those photos at any time, even purely scientific journals like them Can't help but be moved.

But for some reason, in the past three years, St's aura was almost visibly fading.

St withdrew those boards, and gave fewer and fewer works.Compared with the photos provided by other storm chasers, although the quality is still high enough, it has lost the shocking power.

Those auras appeared along with the "storm", and after a glimpse, they disappeared quickly.

It was as if something had been strangely sucked away.

Out of protection and respect for the privacy of contributors, although we understand Pu Ying's feelings, World Geographic still cannot provide any relevant information.

When the editor-in-chief sent Pu Ying away, he laughed and joked with him, and the editor-in-chief kept a section for old-fashioned fan letters. St was once the idol of many people. If Mr. Pu also wants to be a fan of St and want St's signature, it is still too late to write a letter.

Pu Ying asked: "Can you write letters?"

Temporarily generated students: "?"

Pu Ying shook her head and stood up: "No need, I will do it myself."

He stuffed the sack of books into the back seat of the car, took the camera that the student was carefully holding in his arms, and put it away in the passenger seat.

"Sir." The policeman who maintained order stopped him, "You don't have to pay compensation for these."

The assistant policeman saw more of this kind of porcelain-touching activities, took a look at the fair-skinned and tender-skinned student, and reminded Pu Ying in a low voice: "Maybe...he doesn't need help as much as you think."

Pu Ying nodded: "I see."

The co-op was stunned.

Taking advantage of his dazed effort, the student who just fainted from hunger stood up, clutching the check and quickly sneaked into the crowd, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Pu Ying didn't care, and closed the car door.

"Sir!" The police assistant is very responsible, "The amount involved is relatively high. If you need it, we can assist in filing the case, and we need your cooperation..."

Pu Ying frowned slightly: "We are a legitimate transaction, paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand."

Pu Ying: "The goods he provided are exactly what I need."

The assistant policeman was incredulous, standing outside the car, looking at a sack full of photography textbooks in the car.

Pu Ying's Ministry of Science passport was attached to her car, so she obviously already had her own business, and she wasn't some idle rich second generation.

... To take a step back, if you can afford this kind of luxury car, even if you are interested in photography, you can hire a professional photographer to guide you. There is no need to read these primers.

The assistant policeman frowned, glanced at the direction the student ran away, and then at the strange camera that easily extorted 40 yuan involved in the case.

"Don't look for him."

Pu Ying started in gear and looked away: "He doesn't need help, it's me who needs help."

The assistant policeman was puzzled: "What?"

Pu Ying didn't explain anymore, the green light came on, he started the car and merged into the passing traffic.

Not affected by the new personal hobbies of the team leader, the work progress of the investigation team is still advancing steadily.

Wen Wei has no deeper relationship with this data theft incident.

This was just an indiscriminate attack by hackers. There was no insider information, no data reselling, and no cooperation between insiders and outsiders—this is not difficult to investigate at all, and no one will raise any objections.

In fact, in terms of work attitude and results, Wen Er is almost the most outstanding among the previous managers.

Wen Er has no extra personal hobbies, no family, and no enjoyment of life.

He put all his energy into the research project of the electronic storm, and in order to draw a certain key conclusion, he could even live in the laboratory without sleep.

The investigation team discussed secretly, and heard that Director Wen was so crazy because of their cold team leader.

Many people know about this.

For quite a long time, this was even the theme used by the aristocratic families in the Ministry of Science to inspire their younger generations—in order to save their old friends who were lost in the electronic storm, young scientific geniuses put all their efforts and energy into it, and with their superhuman perseverance, they harvested countless Qing's fruitful achievements.

Pu Ying is the luckiest one, almost everyone thinks so.

Even this time when he brought a team to investigate the General Scientific Research Institute, people would often look at him quietly, cast a veiled and admiring look at him.

"For a childhood friend, to be able to do this..."

Pu Ying put down her pen and raised her gaze.

Facing the results of the investigation, several agents were discussing in low voices, and when they noticed that he was looking over, they quickly shut up.

Pu Ying asked: "What is the conclusion?"

"Leader, the conclusion is already clear."

The detective sent over the investigation report: "The nature of this data theft incident is too bad. As the person in charge, Wen Er is indeed to blame, but there is no problem of dereliction of duty."

"Wen Er's workload, work content and results are all outstanding."

The detective said: "There is no evidence of any collusion with outsiders to steal data trafficking."

The investigation team was also in charge of supervising the work, and the detective took another report and handed it to Pu Ying.

"This incident, he handled it in a timely manner and responded effectively. At present, some scientific research teams have begun to resume operations."

"The damage to the database is too serious. The current capacity of the General Research Institute is limited. It is very difficult and impossible to make up for it."

"In the past few years when Wen Er was in charge of the General Research Institute, the entire research on electronic storms and related new results have increased several times to ten times compared to before, and some have even made leaps and bounds."

Agent: "According to the rating, I'm already eligible to get the league's B-level meritorious service."

Pu Ying nodded.

He opened the report, took the seal with his name engraved on it, but didn't pass it immediately, and opened the report summary of the supervision of the work results.

The detective was a little puzzled: "Leader, are there any questions?"

Pu Ying: "Yes."

The detective was taken aback.

They were all specially allocated by the Ministry of Science to coordinate the investigation, and they have been reviewed many times to ensure that there are no errors or omissions in the data.

These are all professional scientific research data, and experts have to check and approve them repeatedly. No one believes that Pu Ying, the head of the security department sent by the alliance, can hear something wrong just by listening to it once.

"I really can't hear it." Pu Ying closed the document, "At work, Director Wen has no problems."

The detective was puzzled: "In this case, then you..."

"Just one of my personal doubts."

Pu Ying said: "How much basic data is needed to support these tasks?"

The detective never thought about it, opened his mouth, but couldn't answer.

This is indeed a very layman's question.

The Department of Science is full of geniuses and lunatics who are obsessed with research. They only know how to bury their heads and run wild in their own fields, and call the data they need directly. Few people think about where these data come from.

But now that Pu Ying brought it up, they suddenly realized...the data of the electronic storm is different from other ordinary scientific research data.

"I saw Director Wen's handling plan for this incident."

Pu Ying said: "It's good enough, it's reached the limit of what can be done."

Even if he handles it himself, he can't do better than Wen Er.

In order to make up for the missing data, Wen Er recruited a new group of explorers, and several new tentative explorations have been carried out.

It's just that these detectors have no relevant experience in entering electronic storms, and they must strictly abide by the safety rules formulated by the Ministry of Science. The quality of the obtained data is very average, and very few can be used directly without processing.

The few scientific research teams that have resumed operation are all using old data that has been repaired and sorted out.

"Hackers only stole half of the database, and the remaining half was repaired, which is enough to support several scientific research teams to resume operation at the same time."

Pu Ying: "These are just unused data."

"The new research results have exceeded ten times, and the leapfrog development must be supported by a large amount of basic data."

"In addition to Director Wen's personal research work, where do these inexhaustible data come from?"

Pu Ying asked: "With such powerful data collection capabilities, why is it so difficult to repair a database now?"

These words are too cold and impersonal.

Several agents sent by the Ministry of Science were used to resistance to these security departments. When they heard this kind of questioning from a layman, the first thing they were aroused was vague displeasure.

——But after only a few seconds, these people also suddenly reacted.

Electronic storms will destroy all sophisticated machinery.

In all aspects of scientific research at present, most of the data collection has been done by machines.However, the characteristics of the electronic storm determine that relevant data can only be measured through the traditional means of personal entry by human explorers.

Having such a powerful data collection capability shows that before this, the General Research Institute should have at least a sufficiently strong and mature team of explorers.

But the terminal was attacked [-] days ago, and until now, the General Scientific Research Institute still doesn't have the ability to supplement the database.

Where did this supposed team go?

Since it was possible to collect such a huge amount of data before, why couldn't it be made up this time?

What's wrong with this team?

"Contact the General Scientific Research Institute and notify Director Wen at the same time to request a complete list of the original explorers."

Pu Ying stood up: "I will report to the Alliance Security Department and apply for permission to view all data records under my personal ID."

The detectives were still in a daze, and when he reminded them, they quickly responded and turned to contact each other.

One of the agents was in charge of monitoring the General Scientific Research Institute at all times. When he returned to the plane, he was suddenly taken aback.

During the time they were discussing just now, the general database, which had not been moved these days, was suddenly filled with new data.

"The database has started to be repaired normally!"

The detective called up the data increments of the past few days and compared them several times: "Yes, this speed is exactly what Team Leader Pu just said..."

Several agents came over and saw clearly the line chart on the screen.

Compared with the previous half month, in the past ten minutes or so, the added data has made the trend almost steep.

"Is it possible that someone in the original team has started to resume detection?"

Someone speculated: "Or those newly recruited explorers suddenly became enlightened?"

"Probably not. We went to observe yesterday, not to mention the test data, it is not bad to be able to stay in the electronic storm for 15 seconds."

"The original team was on vacation, has it resumed work now?"

"After such a big incident, you still have a holiday as usual?"

"Electronic storms are very harmful to the human body. Although there is no clear regulation yet, ethically, the number of detection days should be separated, and it is unreasonable not to take vacations."

"Look, can the ID of this input data be opened? There should be information about the explorer..."

Everyone was discussing with each other, but when they noticed Pu Ying approaching, they all shut up.

Pu Ying looked at the screen: "What did you find?"

"We found... part of the personal information of the explorer who is currently importing data."

One of the detectives came back to his senses: "He has a 15-day personal ID block record, which has just been unblocked. The detection record can be viewed forward to [-], and the registration time..."

"The registration time was three years ago."

The agent took a closer look: "The username is St, storm, storm."

General Research Institute.

Wen Nu stared at the new data suddenly imported by the terminal, and suddenly got up.

His eyes were almost frozen, watching the significant increase in data, some very slight surprise flashed in his light gray pupils.

...Luo Ran is back.

Why did Luo Ran come back?

Seeing Luo Ran's physical condition, Luo Ran's parents actually agreed that he would go back to the General Research Institute to continue the detection of electronic storms?

How much did Luo Ran talk to his family, and what did Luo Ran's parents tell him?

The tails of Wen You's eyes twitched slightly, and he flexed his index finger, rubbing the table nervously repeatedly.

He knew that Luo Ran was hospitalized because of hypothermia - he had already discovered that Luo Ran was starting to chill, and repeated electronic storm detection many times, this kind of thing is inevitable.

People who dared to run outside in winter with only a jacket, now even in summer, they will unconsciously wear an extra layer of clothing and try to avoid the air-conditioned room as much as possible.Holding the hot water all day long and not letting go, my palms were so hot that I didn't even know it.

It's just that if he didn't remind him, Luo Ran didn't notice it himself.

Wen Er couldn't find any more high-sounding reasons for this kind of thing, he just thought almost morbidly, this is good for Luo Ran, and it will make Luo Ran more like Pu Ying.

Luo Ran is more like Pu Ying, so he can continue to please him and stay in the General Research Institute.

In Wen Er's view, all the value of Luo Ran is given by him. He asked Luo Ran to be like Pu Ying, and he only received a part of the reward.

Wen Nu raised his eyes and looked at the "World Geography" on the periodical shelf.

He asked someone to get the same issue of Pu Ying's journal, and the photo that Pu Ying kept poked his nerves repeatedly.

Wen Nu told himself repeatedly that Pu Ying would not be interested in this kind of thing, it was neither decent nor prudent.The elite education of the Pu family will not allow the children of the family to do such outrageous so-called "extreme pursuits" and "exciting challenges".

Back then, Pu Ying wouldn't be interested in this kind of thing, even less now.

Now that... is cold, without a trace of human breath or temperature, and it's not even a complete human being.

Wen Nu clasped the edge of the table hard.

He shouldn't have gone to see Pu Ying, every time he saw Pu Ying, his emotions would completely lose control, and he had to vent his anger on something.

...it was sent by Luo Ran himself.

It's not that he didn't want to let Luo Ran go. Now that Luo Ran has regained contact with his parents, it takes a lot more effort to control it than before, not to mention that the investigation team hasn't left yet.

With Father Luo's temper, if he really knew what happened to his son, he would report him to the investigation team.

If Luo Ran stayed with his parents all the time, of course he couldn't do anything.

But Luo Ran couldn't stay idle, so he bumped into him by himself. Just after the personal ID ban was over, he ran to do storm detection again.

Wen Er lowered his head, in his eyes, the darkness gradually deepened.

Since Luo Ran sent it up by himself... then there is no other way.

……

"Then there's no way."

Yu Tang asked: "Is the hallucinogen ready?"

The system excitedly flashed a small red light: "Ready! We have 40 experience points!"

Yu Tang nodded, and raised his hand to turn off Wen You's monitoring light screen.

The card was not taken by the system to steal snacks as usual, and it was extraordinarily quiet, staying in the place farthest from the light screen in the sea of ​​consciousness.

Yu Tang went over and poked, but before he could raise his hand, he was pulled by a weak force.

"Don't make trouble."

Yu Tang didn't raise his head: "There's no bubble gum, go find it yourself..."

The red light on the card flickered.

It is still recovering, its strength is not strong, but it is still holding on to Yu Tang's consciousness.

Yu Tang was slightly startled, and raised his gaze.

He carefully experienced Luo Ran's mood swings for a while, and couldn't help laughing: "Why are you worried about me? The electronic storm has no effect on me... let alone Wen Er."

"If you have this time, it's better to practice calligraphy."

Yu Tang said: "Wait for Pu Ying to come to ask for an autographed photo of the idol, write him the most handsome one."

The card was dubious, it floated up unsteadily, and circled around Yu Tang.

Yu Tang stood with his arms outstretched, allowing him to check his whole body casually.

……

In the original plot during this period, Luo Ran, like him today, carried out electronic storm detection in groups of five, and carried out three groups in the same day.

In the original book, Luo Ran actually has no purpose.

He just doesn't feel tired.

The electronic storm took away his perception of "tiredness" and "pain".

Because he escaped without permission, he missed the opportunity to make his parents proud in front of all his colleagues, and he knew on the phone that his willfulness would distract his parents.He listened to Wen Er's words even more, and Wen Er coaxed him, saying that as long as there were [-] more detections, he would invite another lower-level scientific research institute to exchange reports.

Luo Ran had nothing else to do, so he went to detect one after another.

The detection equipment can't withstand too strong electronic pulses, and has an automatic protection function, and it will sleep for an hour every time it detects five times.

When the instrument was in sleep mode, Luo Ran sat motionless, watching the second hand move forward one frame at a time.

He thought in his heart, why can't he let him detect a hundred times in one go?

Why can't he turn into the "Pu Ying" that Wen Er wanted as soon as he opened his eyes?

He ended up passing out next to the apparatus.

Without the early warning system of the human body, Luo Ran has no way to detect the limit of his body.Because of the severe loss of body temperature, his blood pressure was unbelievably low, and his body began to stiffen, but he was neither cold nor shivering, and was even so hot that he wanted to take off his clothes.

He hadn't been so comfortable in a long time, as if immersed in an illusory warm light.

He went to unbutton his coat, before his stiff blue fingers could touch the skirt, he had already lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

……

Taking advantage of Luo Ran's inattention, Yu Tang covered the little red card with a sack.

The system helped from the side, quickly expanded the shielded space, and was still a little worried: "Host, is it not good that he is the only one in the small dark room..."

Yu Tang thought for a while: "It's not very good."

The system convinced the host for a good friend, happily blinking the little red light, and was about to continue talking when the camera suddenly went black.

system:"……"

"You two are in the small dark room, don't come out."

Yu Tang also put the system into the sack: "There are snacks, coke, TV, the latest Switch and two-player game cards inside."

System: "...the host."

"Wait for me inside."

Yu Tang: "Tell Luo Ran that he is responsible for walking forward happily and not looking back."

The system froze for a moment, blinked a small red light, and said nothing.

Yu Tang fastened the sack with a small black room space inside, concentrated his mind, and left the sea of ​​consciousness.

……

Wen Nui has reached the detection area of ​​the electronic storm.

On the way here, he found that the number of detections by Luo Ran was abnormal, far exceeding the standard number of detections in a safe state.

After discovering this, Wen Er slowed down instead and stopped at the edge of the area.

He looked at Luo Ran through the surveillance camera, with almost paranoid fanaticism in his eyes.

...He guessed that the early warning system of Luo Ran's body was out of control.

Human perception of pain and fatigue is far more important than imagined.Once this perception is lost, it means losing control of one's own state, which may lead to fatal danger at any time.

Pu Ying looks normal, but he is actually wearing a life level detection system that the Pu family spent a lot of money on, which will immediately report back any abnormal physical conditions of Pu Ying, so as to prevent him from overloading his body without realizing it. overdraft.

For the Pu family, this is even more worrying than Pu Ying's lack of affection.

Wen Nu gripped the steering wheel, and he stared at Luo Ran's detection record without moving, until Luo Ran's detection suddenly stopped at the first time of the fifth group.

He knew that this had probably reached the limit that Luo Ran's body could support.

Under such strong stimulation, Luo Ran's body and personality will definitely change. He needs to record these extremely precious data as first-hand information for researching treatment plans.

Wen Nu remained calm, deleted all abnormal detection records of Luo Ran, turned off the monitoring, and restarted the car.

He soon saw Luo Ran.

Wen Er stopped the car, he glanced casually, but suddenly frowned slightly, and stared at the figure again.

……

Luo Ran didn't faint.

Luo Ran is resting.

When he was in the hospital, Luo Ran still had red hair on his head at first glance, but these days, he dyed it back at some point, and changed back to refreshing black half-broken short hair.

The sky had already darkened, and the blue light from the screen of the instrument fell on Luo Ran's side face, making his eyebrows look colder than usual.

With his eyes down, Luo Ran was casually flipping through the instrument operation manual in his hand, the neckline was blown away by the wind, revealing the eye-catching red birthmark on his neck.

He didn't know it was cold, so he only wore a well-fitting silver-gray shirt.

The fabric of the shirt is very high-grade, with sharp wrinkles outlined by the body, and the cuffs are neatly rolled up, exposing half of the forearm. The tourbillon with a metal wristband is barely stuck on the well-defined wrist bones.

Hearing the sound of the engine, he threw down the manual, got up and walked over, and opened the car door casually.

There was a bang in Wen You's head, and it was cold from head to toe.

He lost his voice, looked at the figure in front of him motionless, and all his thoughts were completely confused.

He saw Pu Ying.

"Wen Er?"

The people outside the car leaned over and their eyes fell on him: "Aren't you going to do something?"

Wen Nu's throat moved slightly, he collected himself, and asked hoarsely, "... what?"

"What the hell are you thinking?"

The person outside the car stretched out his hand, touched the pack of cigarettes from his dashboard, and knocked out a cigarette: "Your current status, your identity, the merits and rewards you have received...Isn't it all from me?" ?”

Wen You's pupils shrank slightly.

The person in front of him put Pu Ying's face on his face, and the words he said were quietly synchronized with his own voice in his memory.

Wen You had said these words to Luo Ran countless times.

He is always reminding Luo Ran that everything Luo Ran can get, and everything that makes his parents feel proud, is given by himself.

There was a coldness behind Wen Er, looking at the figure in front of him, he almost fell into a weird and absurd dream.

"You can't do anything without me."

"Hasn't it been proven?"

The people outside the car were playing with the cigarette, their eyes fell on Wen Er, and what they said matched him completely.

"If you don't do something to make me happy, why should I continue to help you?"

"You don't really think...I'll fall in love with someone like you on a whim, do you?"
