Chapter 3: Transitioning to the Spectre

    After the meeting, Gu Chaoge did not return to the detachment with Shen Hui, and did not even make any suggestions on how to arrest Peng Jiansen.

    Chao Ge, time is short and the task is heavy ......, Shen Hui stopped him and said, We have to act quickly, what are you doing to go?

    Gu Chaoge skimmed her mouth and said, Go home and make preparations.

    Getting ready for what?

    Gu Chaoge said two words without looking back, sleep.

    Shen Hui looked at his back, half speechless, standing alone and messy in the wind.

    ......

    More than a year ago, Gu Chaoge, who is a native of the city, left her family and bought herself a nice house on the er river in the city, and she is still paying the mortgage.

    Although the pressure of life is slightly heavier than before, but Gu Chaoge does not regret, this house he does like, the wind blowing on the river is very cool, he is used to looking at the river in the evening on the balcony to write a diary or think about things.

    He hadn't grown up with the habit of keeping a diary; the habit had started two years ago, and the contents of his journal were written for another person to read.

    And this was actually one of the reasons why he had always been extremely efficient in solving cases; in his dreams, there was always someone who would analyze the case for him with a highly civilized artificial intelligence.

    Gu Chaoge, who had returned home immediately after finishing the meeting, took out her diary at the first opportunity and sat on the wooden chair on the balcony to start describing her doubts word by word.

    I don't know if you saw the experience today.

    That medicine, God's No Access Zone, confuses me, much like you once said, the medicine you have there that helps one to open up the brain area to some kind of metaphysical realm.

    You know, I'm very intuitive, and I've always had a feeling that there's something terrible involved in this, something far less simple than they're making it out to be.

    I thought I probably shouldn't have gotten involved in this, but then it occurred to me that if this drug really did exist, the mystery behind it might also be an opportunity to uncover the truth about this dream, and the paranormal phenomena I'd encountered weren't too far off from this current one anyway.

    What kind of opinion do you have?

    Will this be a process of evolutionary change? Is it a process of us moving closer to you?

    A gust of wind blew by, and Gu Chaoge suddenly shivered, and for a moment, he felt as if someone who didn't exist was standing beside him, looking down at him with gentle eyes.

    He sighed for no apparent reason and went on to write, It is becoming increasingly unclear to me whether this is a figment of my imagination or whether the world has really changed in ways that are unclear to me.

    In the end, it remains the same question, do you really exist? And do I ...... really exist?

    After writing this, Gu Chaoge took a deep breath and carefully placed the diary back on the desk in the house.

    Then he lay down on his bed and fell into a deep sleep.

    ......

    The moment Gu Chaoge closed her eyes, distantly she opened them.

    Her eyes were beautiful, as deep as the stars and as gentle as the ocean.

    But other than Gu Chaoge, more people felt that her eyes encapsulated the coldness of the stars and the ocean.

    Because she is the goddess of the Zhu family, Zhu Haitang.

    She was walking barefoot in a very ultra-modern room, her white clothes were like snow, her clear glow was like frost, and there seemed to be bright moonlight shining through the non-existent windows in the room, reflecting her absolutely beautiful face.

    She sighed, her good-looking eyebrows slightly wrinkled, when she reached the wall, a virtual projection screen suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, she gently flicked it, and the original wall in front of her suddenly turned transparent, and outside was the boundless night sky, and in the sky there were three rounds of bright moon hanging in the sky!

    Zhu Haitang looked at the night sky, a long time and sighed again, actually less cool, more a little bit of a little girl's angry color, which in the eyes of outsiders, almost unimaginable.

    Gu Chaoge, how many more times do I have to answer that we are both bound to truly exist.

    Though I don't know how many light years apart, one day I will find you. The words were muttered in her small voice.

    I don't know when it started, Zhu Haitang no longer called Gu Chaoge big brother, Gu Chaoge once sighed, perhaps she has grown up, the reason, who knows?

    Zhuhaitang pondered for a long time, once again, she made a stroke towards the virtual projection screen, and a virtual projection keyboard appeared in front of her, her long and slender fingers tapped quickly, and a line of words appeared on the screen.

    All along, according to my understanding, the Earth is a planet where Yuan Qi does not exist, and this is the thing that amazes me the most, because Yuan Qi is the most important component of the universe, it is omnipresent, occupying more than 70% of the energy of the entire universe, and you have suspected that it is the dark energy that you can't observe, but surprisingly, even half a trace of Yuan Qi doesn't exist on the Earth, as if it has been isolated.

    I once told you that Yuan Qi is the most essential energy of the universe, also known as 'Phantom', and that any race relies on Yuan Qi for cultivation and metamorphosis.

    But there are some things I haven't told you seriously because I didn't want you to think too much about things that don't exist and are useless, but now it's necessary for me to popularize them for you.

    The essence of cultivation is a kind of evolution, and it is written in our textbooks that the purpose of basic cultivation is to evolve multidimensional life form characteristics.

    Certain things may shock your perceptions, but I have to say that in addition to the special dimension of time, the universe in which we live has nine spatial dimensions, and beyond the length, width, and height that you know, there are six hidden spatial dimensions that are unobservable to the naked eye curled up in extremely tiny geometrical shapes in every point of our universe.

    It's all about the macrocosm and the microcosm.

    The human race has five senses, i.e., there are three dimensional characteristics that exist innately. Have you ever thought that if a person has eyes, he can see; if he has ears, he can hear; if he has a nose, he can smell; if, outside of the five senses, a person has a new organ, will he be able to see a whole different world?

    And the purpose of cultivation is to evolve multidimensional lifeform characteristics, to shape a 'psionic body organ' and to feel the microcosm through the new organ.

    The psionic body organ is also a microscopically existing organ, which you can tentatively understand as a virtual organ, or an organ that exists in your imagination.

    Humans are not a race that is blessed with a unique talent, we are born with three-dimensional lifeform characteristics, but certain races, who may have four-dimensional lifeform characteristics or even higher-dimensional lifeform characteristics from the time of their birth, are able to feel the presence of yuan qi after birth, and do not have to intentionally cultivate to become powerful.

    That's why the first thing humans have to do to cultivate is to open up the fourth-dimensional features so that they can sense the presence of Yuan Qi and introduce it into their bodies, and this process is called 'transmuting the ghosts'.

    When he wrote this, Zhu Haitang stopped moving, frowning in disbelief and shaking his head.

    The fourth spatial dimension is called 'the dimension of divine consciousness', and the fourth dimensional feature is the divine consciousness feature, which shapes a psionic organ 'sea of consciousness' located in the pineal gland of the brain, thus possessing its own divine consciousness, so that you can perceive through the microscopic dimension of divine sense to perceive the existence of Yuan Qi.

    And want to open up the sea of knowledge, you must first rely on the external yuan qi for their own stimulation, to awaken the pineal gland in the center of the brain area, although at this time you can not feel the existence of yuan qi, but as long as through the respiratory method can be utilized in the breathing of yuan qi to stimulate the brain, according to the individual's enlightenment is different, awakening of the characteristics of the divine sense of the fast and slow there will also be a difference.

    But there are some people, who are not so naturally enlightened, or for any other reason, have difficulty in relying on the breathing method to gulp down Yuan Qi to stimulate the brain, so other methods gradually emerged.

    Like using some kind of drug to force open the sea of consciousness, as you call it, God's forbidden zone.

    ......

    Gu Chaoge had once suspected that he was showing signs of mental illness due to the stress of his job, because his dreams were too real, yet too metaphysical, as if they were the figments of a psychopath's imagination.

    Because once a person wakes up, the memories of the dream will gradually be lost, so he established this special contact between him and Zhu Haitang to record what he wanted to say, thus deepening each other's impression about this part of the dream.

    He had once thought that if the world in his dream was real, it might not be in the same universe as himself, but as a parallel universe in a novel.

    This was based on reasoning, even though Gu Chaoge couldn't be sure if the galaxy where Zhuhaitang was located existed, the world where Zhuhaitang was located already had highly developed interstellar navigation technology, to the point that it had long explored half of the cosmic frontier, but there had never been any record of anything resembling the existence of a solar system.

    Therefore, he thought that if the existence of both of them was real, then they were most likely in different universes, she was born in an aged universe with multiple races and a highly developed intelligent civilization, while he was in a newborn universe where the intelligent civilization was still in its infancy.

    After all, if the two were in the same universe, those highly developed intelligent civilizations would have discovered Earth long ago, wouldn't they?

    Aside from this dream that came from nowhere, it is almost impossible for the two to cross paths again, and it is unlikely that they will ever meet in their lifetimes.

    However, Zhu Haitang did not think so, she had refuted Gu Chaoge's view that the concept of parallel universes had been initially recognized as non-existent in their civilization because of the irreversibility of time, and she was convinced that in some remote edge of the vast universe, there must exist a solar system that failed to be integrated into the entire civilization of the great universe.

    Zhu Haitang had once said that Earth was a strange existence, isolated from Yuan Qi, but Gu Chaoge was of the opinion that because of the difference in the universes, it was likely that the nascent universe he was in had not yet qualitatively transformed the dark energy into Yuan Qi, and so Yuan Qi did not exist in this universe at all.

    Opening the Sea of Sense was essentially opening up the dormant brain domains of the brain, allowing brain cells to awaken, and the medicinal effect of God's Forbidden Zone was, to a certain extent, stimulating the transient awakening of brain cells.

    Zhu Haitang had said that within their civilization, there were people who opened up their sea of consciousness with the help of medicinal external forces, and that kind of medicines were all bound to contain Yuan Qi.

    This was precisely the reason why Gu Chaoge would be terrified of the God's No Access Zone yet ultimately agreed to investigate the matter thoroughly; could the meta-energy that he had originally thought didn't exist really exist and had already appeared in his life?

    So, is evolution beginning to descend upon the humans of Earth in the remote parts of the universe, or is it that this nascent universe itself is beginning to evolve, with dark energy qualitatively transforming into meta-energy.

    God's forbidden zone is like the remnants of our civilization's sea-expelling pills, sea-expelling pills are drugs that can help people forcefully open up the sea of consciousness to feel the fourth dimension, while God's forbidden zone can only transiently stimulate the human brain to unconsciously use to its own divine consciousness, which is why it can be addictive because once you experience the existence of the fourth dimension, you will never be willing to be reduced to a three-dimensional creature again.

    Zhu Haitang's hand was still tapping the virtual projection keyboard, But there is no doubt that Yuan Qi must exist in the God's Forbidden Zone, and only the existence of Yuan Qi can stimulate the awakening of the Divine Sense.

    Her eyes were suddenly a little agitated, I think you should figure this out, this might be an opportunity to help those soldiers, the government is bound to know more about the hidden secrets.

    If it's true that evolution is coming and you get the God's Forbidden Zone, I can teach you the breathing method and exhale the Yuan Qi in it, and you'll be ahead of countless others in the era of evolution!

Chapter 4: The Capture Operation

    It was already the next morning when Gu Chaoge woke up from her dream, the sunlight didn't spill into the room, the weather was still gloomy, and the chill seemed to be getting heavier every day.

    He rolled up and sat on the bed, not moving again for a long time, like a meditating ascetic, and only after a long time did he mutter to himself, Well, let's just check it out ......

    When he packed up and was about to go out, Shen Hui's call came in.

    Chao Ge, are you ready here, all waiting for you to act na!

    Shen Hui is the kind of ability is not big people, but the good thing is that he has a point is really good, very good at using people, and people do not doubt, so a lot of times he will give Gu Chaoguo great degree of freedom, for Gu Chaoguo, he is indeed a pretty good leader, and he also with Gu Chaoguo in the past few years to solve a pile of cases got a lot of credit, and to be steadily promoted.

    Okay, don't rush. Gu Chaoge said, My car is still set up at the detachment, I'm not going to have to take public transportation to come here, I'll be there in another half hour.

    Okay, it's okay if you're here. Shen Hui burst out laughing, I was really afraid yesterday that you had thought about it and were planning to throw in the towel with me.

    Don't worry, I've already greeted the higher-ups, this time you're helping the military, at this juncture, even the higher-ups wouldn't dare to give you a hard time.

    By the way, there is something I have to say to you, yesterday after returning to the detachment, Yang Shuo passed over the information about Peng Jiansen, but the content is very little, nothing useful, I'll just directly in the household registry database to check the person, really rare, pressure can not be found in Peng Jiansen's personal information ......

    Gu Chaoge was stunned for a moment and asked, Overseas Chinese?

    No. Shen Hui responded, According to the information given by Yang Shuo, Peng Jiansen was born in Southern Guangdong Province, and is also a Hakka family member, grew up over there, and later went to Jinling City to study at the university, if you put it this way, how can you find out his personal information, it's not possible that he didn't have a household registration ID card and still finished the university, right?

    Is this still something to think about? Gu Chaoge smiled coldly and said, It must be that the group of people from the military still have things to hide from us, this Peng Jiansen is by no means simple, there are still things behind the scenes that he doesn't want us to know, so forget about it for now and wait for me to come over.

    Eh, good. Shen Hui answered, and couldn't help but curse at the end, Damn, there's actually something to hide from us ah ......

    Gu Chaoge had just rushed back to the detachment when Shen Hui greeted him, on fire.

    But you're finally here, I really don't know how to investigate this properly, half the team has been called back by me, one after the other to ask what case to investigate.

    The military shouldn't let them know too much. Gu Chaoge said, Just make up a random case, anyway, just say it's about apprehending a criminal, just wait until you find Peng Jiansen, don't let them get into this mess.

    I know, that's what I was going to do, but I didn't know where to start, so I had to let them all rest on the team for a while, just waiting for you to come and give them orders.

    Gu Chaoge said in amusement, Team Shen, after half a day you just rested and waited for me na?

    Shen Hui smiled sarcastically, Those who can do more work, the burden on the shoulders should be heavier.

    Gu Chaoge shook her head helplessly.

    To the detachment office, ten or so people waiting inside, wide-eyed, and do not know what to do, see the two came in, everyone stood up successively.

    Team Shen, Brother Gu ......

    Gu Chaoge waved her hand and said, Alright, everyone take a seat first, I'll talk about the work priorities.

    The crowd sniffed and sat back down, and Gu Chaoge walked to the front and pasted the printed black and white photo of Peng Jiansen onto the board.

    Peng Jiansen, male, from Southern Guangdong Province, suspected of organizing gangs of a gang-like nature, absconded several months ago during the Xiang Chu Province's anti-triad operation until now, there is a reasonable suspicion that the person is in our territory, so that side hopes that we will help and find him.

    It dawned on the crowd at the bottom that they were arresting absconders.

    But Brother Gu, how come this guy's picture is in black and white? Someone asked, This looks a bit old, how old is this guy, he won't grow and change, right?

    Yes, Lao Gu. Another person teased, The person hasn't even been caught yet, how come the posthumous photos are given out.

    The crowd laughed at that.

    Shen Hui coughed and said seriously, You don't need to pay any attention to these, this kind of person has been underground for a lot of time and hides very deeply, there are hardly a few photos, anyway, the looks must be like this, so you will arrest people according to this.

    Gu Chaoge didn't say much, since the military had given such a photo, there naturally wouldn't be any major discrepancies in looks, but of course he was a little confused in his own mind.

    I thought it was a big deal. A young policeman said, Just catching an absconder, we've caught several drug lords with Brother Gu.

    Gu Chaoge shook her head, her tone becoming cautious, Don't underestimate this person, this matter may be even more dangerous than catching drug lords in the past.

    Peng Jiansen was not alone when he absconded from Xiangchu, he was followed by a large number of people, and they may be in possession of heavy armaments, making them extremely dangerous.

    The crowd was taken aback, this group actually had heavy arms in their hands?

    Our mission this time, first to their own safety as a prerequisite, private action and personal heroism is strictly prohibited, once the whereabouts of Peng Jiansen is found, immediately send the news back, if necessary, Shen team will contact the military to carry out arrest operations.

    The people looked at each other, and after looking at each other for a few moments someone asked, Brother Gu, what about the clues, how are we going to find them?

    No clue.

    No clue? A group of people were dumbfounded, Then this is a needle in a haystack, even if the person is in Diannan, he may not necessarily be in our Nanzhao City.

    According to the last intelligence news, the possibility that the person is in Nanzhao City is very high, but of course we can't rule out the possibility of other places, so this arrest mission is very serious, and we must not let the target escape from Yunnan.

    Gu Chaoge raised her hand and tapped the picture of Peng Jiansen on the board, staring at the group and asking, If you were an absconder, what would you do in a situation where it was known that there was a man in the process of making an arrest for you?

    Hide, preferably in the deep woods!

    Gu Chaoge shook her head, Then you will definitely be arrested, this is actually a very stupid way.

    The small policeman who asked the question scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, Brother Gu, how is this?

    First of all, if it's an ordinary absconder, he won't survive in the deep forest, and he'll torture himself to death before anyone can catch him.

    And we have a premise, the other party is an absconder with heavy armament, for us, they escaped into the deep mountains and old forests instead, which is good for us, and can avoid civilian casualties to the greatest extent possible, all we have to do is to seal off the mountains, and directly trap them.

    The other side can't be any dumber than us, so they must know deep down that entering the mountain is like pushing themselves to their deaths, and the hostages that exist at all times are their most favorable bargaining chip, so even if they're found out, they can still make a deal with us.

    That small police officer then realized, Then in that case, it is really possible that they are hiding in the city, but how can we be sure that they will be in our Nanzhao City?

    Gu Chaoge continued, A group of people with undying ambition won't be willing to fall by the wayside like this, and will definitely find a way to rise again.

    At this point, the only people who can help them are the bosses of the road.

    Even if they want to take shelter for a while, the best way out is not to hide, but to go.

    The little policeman sprang to his feet and exclaimed, I know, smuggling!

    That's right, smuggling. Gu Chaoge nodded in agreement, If a group of people with arms want to smuggle out of Diannan, they should at least pay a visit to the local bosses, after all, the doorway is all in those people's hands.

    We Diannan border three countries, according to the current situation, they have been whisked away to Diannan, Nanzhao city is located in the center of the entire Diannan, no matter where they want to go, must pass through the Nanzhao in order to arrive at the border city, they are blocked in our city ah ...... Shen Hui thoughtfully said.

    The corner of Gu Chaoge's mouth hooked slightly, That's right, so they will need someone to help them leave Nanzhao even more.

    Understood, we will immediately contact the traffic police and strictly monitor the vehicles on each roadway out of the city, especially large vehicles and buses. The small policeman immediately said, We'll go to the city to check it out, and directly call up the monitoring of the various sections.

    And the bosses of the districts, we'll get informants to ask for information, and we'll go and talk directly to those bosses if necessary.

    Keep a low profile, don't scare the snakes. Gu Chaoge instructed, In addition, I can narrow down the scope a bit more for you, focus on finding targets in the various city villages, such places are most suitable for them to hide and hold hostages, there are quite a few vacant warehouses in the city villages, which are also suitable for them to place the arms they have on hand.

    After the people clarified their tasks, they immediately began to move, and the office was immediately deserted, leaving only Gu Chaoge and Shen Hui.

    Shen Hui, with a joyful face, patted Gu Chaoge's shoulder and praised him, Chaoge, you're still the one who thought it through, I told General Zhao at that time that it was right to look for you!

    Gu Chaoge, however, didn't half relax, but instead narrowed her eyes and stared at that picture of Peng Jiansen.

    It's not over yet, they were all there just now and there's something I can't talk about.

    Shen Hui's expression was astringent, and he busily said, You say.

    Find someone to monitor the foreign forces, especially on the borderline, and say hello, according to what the military said, if the Nei Organization has quite a few members abroad, it's also possible for them to directly look for foreign members to help out, and they won't be able to use those unorthodox bosses at all.

    Shen Hui sniffed, cold sweat involuntarily flowed down, if foreign forces intervene, it would be a big deal, from anti-black directly into counter-terrorism, I will directly talk to General Zhao about this matter, if it really makes such a big mess, it can only be done by the military.

    In addition, it's also necessary for the surveillance on the surface, and there's no shortage of buyers who can afford the God's Forbidden Zone in our Diannan. Gu Chaoge continued.

    Shen Hui abruptly raised his head, Are you saying that it's possible for them to sell drugs here?

    It's not impossible. The God's No Access Zone itself is a means for them to control people, and if extremely wealthy entrepreneurs or even someone above us becomes their client, it could be even easier for them to abscond.

    Shen Hui wiped his sweat, fortunately Gu Chaoge was here, otherwise he really wouldn't have thought of so much on his own, he couldn't help but be infiltrated, Got it, I'll have someone do it.

    Then, Shen Hui double-checked again, Is there anything else to note?

    Gu Chaoge pressed his forehead and also looked a little headache, speaking of the other side is a group of Einstein who ate God's forbidden area ah, he can only try to avoid the complexity and hope to collide with the other side on the simple two layers of logic.

    Let me think about it again ......

    Okay, think about it, I'll go make you a cup of tea. Shen Hui didn't have half a leader's stance.

    Here, your tea. When he came back from making tea, he only saw Gu Chaoge still staring at the picture, so he asked with a smile, What's so pretty about it that you can still see a flower?

    Gu Chaoge took the teacup, her eyes rolled, and asked, Earlier, you said that you couldn't find Peng Jiansen's personal information in any of the national household registry databases?

    That's right. Shen Hui took a sip of tea and sighed, It's fucking strange, maybe the military still really has something they don't want us to know, damn it, we're running around for them ......

    A ray of light flashed through Gu Chaoge's narrowed eyes, You really don't think this photo is strange?

    Shen Hui hesitated for a moment before saying, It is strange, such a low-pixel old black and white photo, it must have been taken at least thirty years ago ......

    Gu Chaoge picked up his words and said, Just from the photos, Peng Jiansen is probably around forty years old or so, which means that he probably has to be around seventy years old now, but the military is certain that there is no discrepancy between Peng Jiansen's looks today and those in the photos ......

    Maybe we think too much? Shen Hui expression tangled million, Indeed some people born young, as long as the maintenance of proper, really nothing in and out, you see that what the star to come ......

    Gu Chaoge interrupted, I also have a suspicion that this photo may have been trimmed, the edges of the photo don't look like a frame naturally framed by an old-fashioned camera, instead, it looks like a part of it has been directly cropped by the software.

    Speaking here, Gu Chaoge violently put down the teacup in her hand.

    Team Shen, do you want to know what the military is hiding from us?

    Huh? Shen Hui was dumbfounded.

    Since we can't find out the household registration information, we might as well check this old black and white photo!

Chapter 5: Gu Yan Wang

    When Gu Chaoge offered to investigate the photos, Shen Hui's expression stiffened and he hesitated instead.

    That's not very good, is it? If it's true that the military is hiding something, then it's probably an authorization from the top ......

    Gu Chaoge waved her hand with disinterest, tore off the photo, and said, Since you don't want to then forget it.

    Shen Hui sighed with relief, he was really afraid that Gu Chaoge forced him to make things clear, Shen Hui can sit in today's position, always upholding the spirit of not knowing things that should not know, the old saying goes, the more you know, the faster you die.

    Gu Chaoge put away the photo and turned around to leave, Shen Hui came back to his senses and asked busily, Where are you going?

    Go out and turn around, maybe you can find the whereabouts of those people. Without answering with her head, Gu Chaoge said, If they get a clue outside, notify me immediately.

    After Gu Chaoge left the detachment, he drove his car to the outside of a small back-alley street in the city that was built with its back to the main road, parked his car and walked towards the inside of the street.

    This street is called Iris Pu Back Street, known as the small black market, mixed with the three religions and nine people, and even sell information on the road.

    Almost half of the stores on the street are bars, all closed during the day, while the other half is strange and strange everything, in fact, most of them are just a cover, such as a store selling mahjong tables, close the door is an underground mahjong parlor; there is also a car parts store, the entire city of Nanzhao, illegal modification of the car is half from the hands of this shopkeeper.

    Of course, Gu Chaoge wasn't here for that.

    The existence of such a boundary, the upper head has always turned a blind eye, underground hooks still have to be held by the underground balance, as long as the bosses of the underground know what to do, do not make a mistake on the line.

    However, to the backstreets of Iris Pu, is not an individual can buy the right thing, whether it is a message or modified vehicles, this business is to see people do, ordinary people come to only buy a mahjong table, but can not get into the mahjong parlor, this is the black market can still exist the rules and points of view.

    Gu Chaoge entered Iris Pu Back Street and lightly circled towards the inside, several people on the street recognized him, after all, there were very few cops who dared to walk horizontally on Iris Pu Back Street, but Gu Chaoge counted as one.

    Where's Cripple Wu? After waiting until they reached the entrance of a cell phone store, Gu Chaoge looked in and asked with one of the punks at the door again.

    I don't know, he's not here? Probably dead. The punk replied with a cheeky grin, You go to Hades to find him.

    Gu Chaoge's right foot abruptly moved a step forward, and her elbow lifted up, slamming into the punk's chest, holding his entire body down against the wall.

    His chest was smashed raw, and he turned red and yelled.

    Brother Gu ...... Officer Gu! Don't dare la! Don't hit, don't hit your face!

    Several people watching from the side saw this situation, they could not help but snicker, this guy is bumping into Gu Chaoge's gun, do not know that the person in front of you is the king of Gu Yan, but also where to go to find the king of Yan?

    Gu Yanwang is the road brother to Gu Chaoge the name of the bogeyman, in the past years, there are cases to be done, Gu Chaoge will be able to set off the road to the bottom of the sky, so that countless punks see him on the fear and trembling, and small ghosts to see the master of Yanwang, as well as the fear and hate.

    Gu Chaoge let go of her hand and grunted coldly, Don't talk nonsense, go get Crippled Wu to come see me, I'm looking for him for something.

    Little punk pain showing teeth, miserable: Gu ...... Gu brother, dead cripple stay at home, he offended someone yesterday, let people caught to beat up, is at home lying down, this day even the store is I opened for him ......

    Gu Chaoge looked at the several mongrels watching the show next to him and asked sternly, Is he telling the truth?

    Really, really. Seeing King Gu Yan looking over, several people busily nodded their heads.

    Give me his home address.

    ......

    Wu Cripple's home is at the end of the back street of Irispool, with a store on the first floor and a rented house on the second.

    After hearing that Cripple Wu was at home recuperating after being beaten up, Gu Chaoge could only come to his house specifically to find someone, and he now had to do something that only Cripple Wu could help with.

    Wu cripple real name Wu Huai, no father, no mother, more than ten years out to mix to the present, the early years of trouble was crippled a leg, and only later peace of mind in the black market opened up a small store, to help people repair cell phones and computers, film.

    However, this is not Wu Huai really rely on the means of making a living, only few people know, Wu Huai is actually a computer expert, when the computer popularization period, the whole population computer fever, Wu Huai interest is extremely strong, the side and others to learn, the side of their own fumbling, and slowly practiced, and even in the list of domestic hackers ranked on the list.

    Wu Huai even helped someone to take over the job of invading a company's system database, and was finally caught by Gu Chaoge and locked up for more than a year before being released.

    Wu Huai, who had just opened the door, saw Gu Chaoge standing in the doorway, and his face instantly crossed.

    Why, Wu Huai. Gu Chaoge said with a wry smile, I'm upsetting you so much?

    Wu Huai hurriedly piled up a smile and said, No, no, I am wondering Gu Yan Wang ...... ah, bah, how did Officer Gu have time to come up to me?

    How's it going, I heard you got beat up, who did it, I caught him for you.

    Wu Huai quickly waved his hands, Officer Gu, I didn't report this, it's all a joke, it's fine, it's really fine.

    The bruises on his face haven't even cleared yet, fooling around? Gu Chaoge snorted coldly, knowing that this is the rule of the road, which is to call the police to arrest someone after being beaten up, Okay, I'm not looking for you for this, there's something for you to help.

    Wu Huai froze for a moment at his words, the sun has come out of the west? The police came to seek help from the punks, what a strange story.

    Then ...... sit inside? Wu Huai asked carefully.

    Gu Chaoge did not say anything, directly into the house, only to see not spacious living room set up four, five hosts, the display screen are connected to a piece, do not know also thought it was into the monitoring room.

    Wu Huai gave a sarcastic laugh and busied himself with saying, I just like to drum up computers, but I've never done those things again.

    Gu Chaoge didn't see any outsiders either, found a place to sit down, looked at Wu Huai and said, But I'm here to find you back in your old job.

    What ......? Wu Huai simply suspected that his ears were out of order.

    Gu Chaoge reached into his jacket pocket and took out the printed photo of Peng Jiansen and handed it to Wu Huai.

    Help me find the source of this photo.

    Wu Huai took the photo, looked at it carefully for a long time, and muttered, This is a very old-fashioned black and white photo ah, although it is printed, but look at the pixels it has to be the sixties or seventies, right?

    Can we find the source? Gu Chaoge asked.

    Wu Huai scratched his head, If there was ever data on the internet it would definitely leave traces, then it can be found, otherwise it won't work, let me help you find it.

    After saying that, Wu Huai got up and opened the computer, then rummaged left and right and took out a tool similar to a supermarket scanner connected to the computer, and finally aimed at the printed photo and swept, the whole photo was swept into the computer.

    Gu Chaoge just quietly watched from the sidelines as Wu Huai drummed for a while and said, Officer Gu, this photo has been modified by software, right?

    Wu Huai pointed to the computer screen and said, Look, this is not the original, but when I scanned it with the software I could still find obvious traces of software trimming on all four sides, and the size of the photo is not an exact value, indicating that the original has been trimmed.

    Gu Chaoge laughed coldly in her heart, secretly saying that it was really like that, It should be, don't worry about that, you find it first.

    OK.

    Wu Huai crackled the keyboard, after a burst of operation, he leaned back and leisurely said, Okay, I wrote all the data, in fact, the principle is very simple, it's almost the same as those who know the map software, except that they that satisfy the needs of ordinary people, the code is simpler, the system will only be searched at the system level, but I'm a more complex, it will search all the historical data at the darknet level. level search for all historical data, the darknet you should know it, is ......

    Wu Huai said a whole lot, Gu Chaoge basically did not understand, just so dry stare at the screen progress from 1% slowly walked 90%, 92% ......

    Finally, the search progress showed 100%, but before Gu Chaoge could lift his spirits, the words No match found poured cold water on him.

    Wu Huai was quite embarrassed at the situation, Officer Gu, this is impossible, it means that the photo probably really hasn't been uploaded, so there's no historical data.

    Gu Chaoge frowned and didn't say anything for a long time, staring at the photo for a while longer.

    Wu Huai was too embarrassed to kick him out, so he could only stay with him.

    Suddenly, Gu Chaoge pointed to the background of the photo and asked, Can you tell where this photo was taken?

    Wu Huai froze, then reacted and started crackling the keyboard again.

    Wait, I've just been using face recognition in my search, if you want to search for the location of the shooting it's fine, just change the sample you take to the background in the photo .......

    The search was significantly faster this time, with results coming up quickly and the option The following are the same results appearing!

    Gu Chaoge's eyes lit up, only to see that there were several pictures at the bottom that seemed to be landscape photographs of a yellow sandy Gobi beach, with parts of it oddly rocky, and this part happened to be the same as the scene in Peng Jiansen's photo located behind him, and I'm afraid that this is why the same search results were generated.

    Is this ......? Gu Chaoge muttered and whispered.

    It looks like Lobo!

Chapter 6: The Old Man

    There is a saying that the Lop Nor area is a piece of the Asian continent Devil's Triangle, the ancient Silk Road through it, a lot of lonely ghosts have been wandering around, dead bones everywhere, and countless explorers sacrifice their lives to go deeper into it, more Lop Nor is cloaked with a veil of mystery.

    After Wu Huai verified it again, it was confirmed that the place where Peng Jiansen took the photo was indeed in Lop Nor.

    Gu Chaoge was silent for a long time, patted Wu Huai's shoulder, and said in a deep voice, Wu Huai, do me another favor, help me hack into the police's big database to find some information.

    Wu Huai winced at his words and almost sat on his butt on the ground, his face full of horror.

    Big brother, I really don't do this kind of thing for a long time, it's against the law!

    Gu Chaoge lit up a cigarette in annoyance and threw one to the stupefied Wu Huai in passing, vaguely feeling that he was getting closer to the truth.

    Robbo, Ken Pang, God's No Access Zone.

    There had to be some connection, and that's what the military was hiding, and that's what he cared most about.

    If now back to the detachment to request access to the police database, it is likely that will not be allowed, Shen Hui would have been the kind of less ask more do style of action, not to mention that this is not Shen Hui can say, even if Shen Hui agreed to, need to submit an application to the upper level, and there is no justification, the upper level will not agree.

    Even as soon as he made such a move, the military was afraid that they could guess what he wanted to investigate in the next second, and since they wanted to hide it, they would definitely stop him.

    There was a lot involved in this matter, and if it were before, he wouldn't have cared at all, but after that dream started, he was extra sensitive to this kind of thing.

    Of course, there are some insufficient words in it, if the existence of the Yuan Qi is confirmed, then it means that the Earth may be coming to evolution, and all the order established today will be collapsed.

    Once evolution comes, the world is bound to be in chaos, and there will be no shortage of bloodshed if the officials want to quell the turmoil, which will be a historic change.

    An extremely real problem lay before him, the survival of the fittest.

    This change will inevitably eliminate some people, and to not be eliminated, one must be on the path of evolution, even, the faster the better.

    The existence of God's Forbidden Zone might just be a drug that briefly enlivens the brain cells for today's Nei Organization, but for Gu Chaoge, he firmly remembered Zhu Haitang's last words.

    If it's true that evolution is coming and you get the God's Forbidden Zone, I can teach you the breathing method and exhale the Yuan Qi in it, and you'll be ahead of countless others in the age of evolution!

    Was the dream that had baffled him for four years a figment of his imagination, or was it real?

    Gu Chaoge's forehead sprouted veins as he was making his final thoughts and decisions, and finally, he ruthlessly pressed out the cigarette in his hand and said towards Wu Huai, Hack into the police big data database for me, and look up a keyword from the records of the police big data.

    I ...... I ...... Wu Huai almost cried out, his whole face drooping, I can't do it!

    Gu Chaoge stared at him and slowly said, I know you can do it, a year and a half ago, shortly after you were released from prison, you hacked into the US Pentagon with the world's top hacker Kevin's team, Kevin became the FBI's number one most wanted cybercriminal as a result, and you were worried about being implicated, you fled to Burma and hid for half a year until Kevin was recruited by the US authorities and counter-hired to become a consultant for the FBI, and things calmed down before you returned from Burma.

    Wu Huai s entire body was confused, stagnant like asked, How do you ...... you know?

    I was the one who arrested you in the first place, so of course I paid attention after you were released from prison. Gu Chaoge slowly said, As a result, you suddenly ran off to Burma, so I curiously checked it out and got quite a few clues, but I couldn't be completely sure that you were involved in that incident, and anyway, it was a trouble for the US authorities, and also had nothing to do with me, and then even Kevin was hired by the US authorities, so I was even more lazy to pursue it.

    After saying that, Gu Chaoge took a deep breath and continued, I know you can do it.

    Wu Huai had a bitter face, Big brother, do you know that you're breaking the law?

    Still need you to say? Gu Chaoge didn't have the good sense to say, and sighed after a long time, But I don't have any other way for a while.

    With your current technology, briefly hacking into the police's big data to search for a keyword should have some certainty that it won't be discovered.

    Wu Huai sniffed really do not know whether to feel happy for Gu Yan Wang's affirmation of his own skills, and was about to answer, and then suddenly alert: Officer Gu, you will not be fishing law enforcement ...... on me?

    Gu Chaoge froze, crying and laughing, I'm going to arrest you and still use fishing law enforcement?

    Wu Huai think about it, he does not know how much black information are held in the hands of Gu Yan Wang, Gu Yan Wang is not really fishing law enforcement on self.

    As long as you don't tamper with the data and just browse it, there is some certainty that successfully bypassing a firewall will not be detected ......

    Gu Chaoge nodded and said, Don't worry, I just need to check some documents, it's good that I can stay undetected, and if I'm found out, I'll take the blame for this, it has nothing to do with you.

    Really? Wu Huai still couldn't believe it and didn't dare to ask Gu Yanwang why he hacked into the police big data, he thought to himself that the less he knew about this kind of thing, the better.

    I won't fool you. Gu Chaoge then promised, I know the rules, I can give you ten thousand dollars for receiving money. You hack into the database for me, and I'll take the blame myself if anything goes wrong.

    Wu Huai's face was cloudy, and Gu Chaoge didn't press on, quietly waiting for him to make a decision.

    In the end, Wu Huai clenched his teeth fiercely, his eyes were glaring red in half a circle, raised his head and said, It's done, I'll take this matter, just think of it as me being short of money to spend!

    Saying yes, Wu Huai had no more second thoughts and dove headfirst into the computer data, typing in codes that Gu Chaoge couldn't understand at all, using some kind of software to parse the police big data firewall.

    This is not a small project, according to Wu Huai's words, trying to bypass the police firewall, the amount of data parsing is extremely large, just like trying to bypass an infrared alarm device, not only do you have to figure out the pattern and set the route, but finally you have to be careful to lift your hips and tuck in your stomach when going around.

    From the beginning of the work, Wu Huai almost did not say a word, even Gu Chaoge went out to buy back the meal did not eat, Gu Chaoge has been sitting next to, the two did not say a word muffled smoking cigarettes, eyes reflected all the computer screen in the non-stop flash of data.

    Four hours, five hours ......

    Soon eight hours had passed, and it was getting dark, already in the evening.

    It's done!

    A shout suddenly rang out, Wu Huai slammed the table and stood straight up, his eyes red and filled with excitement, cursing, Now the police's updated system firewall is so damn difficult, but it's still not bypassed by my old man!

    Gu Chaoge dropped the cigarette in his hand almost instantly and looked towards the screen, which showed not the police database backend he was familiar with, but a white program box on a black background.

    This is a program I connected to the police database, as long as a precise search is conducted, the program will be able to pull out the relevant information. Wu Huai smiled smugly and exhaled a puff of smoke.

    Gu Chaoge licked her lips, which were dry from smoking, and said in a somewhat hoarse tone, Peng Jiansen.

    What?

    Keywords to look up, Ken Pang.

    Wu Huai sat back down in front of the computer and asked again, This is a personal name, right? Do you need to be a little more precise and add the place name Lobo or something like that?

    Wu Huai was naturally not stupid and guessed that the name likely belonged to the man in the photo.

    Gu Chaoge hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

    Soon, the results of the search from the police's big data were presented in front of the two men, and when the two keywords came across each other, only one piece of relevant information was actually found.

    This information comes from the local police in the southern border, and is a document-like record that was uploaded in 2000 when computers were popularized in the institutions for information and data integration.

    Comrade Peng Jiansen, after arriving to take command of the work at Lop Nor, disappeared in October of the same year, and is suspected to be dead, at the age of fifty-two.

    Underneath the only line, Gu Chaoge finally saw the original record of the untrimmed photo.

    The one the military gave them hadn't been trimmed too much, one could even say it had barely been altered, just a very narrow portion of the photo cut off on all sides.

    And what they want to cut out is probably just a string of numbers, and that string of numbers is a record of when the photo was taken!

    Gu Chaoge felt incredulous and took a step back to her seat.

    There was no longer any doubt in his mind, and right at this moment, he truly believed that his dream was a real civilization.

    And a new transformation, an evolutionary era belonging to the Earth is really about to begin!

    The person the military wanted him to arrest, Peng Jiansen, was specifically labeled within the military's information as an extremely dangerous person who had single-handedly wrestled three officers to death during his capture in Xiangchu Province.

    General Zhao Lai had said that there was no discrepancy between his appearance and the photographs, and that he could be identified entirely on the basis of his likeness in the photographs.

    Gu Chaoge slowly looked up at the electronic clock in the room.

    May 23,    2024.

    The person he was trying to arrest was a 109-year-old man!

Chapter 7: The Ice Coffin

    The room was extraordinarily quiet, only the sound of the computer fan turning a bit from time to time, Wu Huai unconsciously held his breath, wondering why Gu Yan Wang had been silent after seeing the search results, just smoking cigarettes one after another, sometimes not knowing what to think of, even the cigarette burned out without realizing it.

    Gu Chaoge's thoughts fluttered, it wasn't that he was overthinking things, who would dare to believe that a 100 year old man was the leader of a transnational crime syndicate, and still fucking maintains a youthful face that even celebrities who get botoxed every day would have to bow down to.

    Almost forgot, there is a 100-year-old man single-handedly killed three young officers feat, simply heard the sad to see the tears, in the future, only 70, 80-year-old small children do not have the face to say what the old and strong, the old and strong and so on, listen to people feel strange pretentious ... ... ...

    Gu Chaoge simply didn't know what other reasons there were to convince herself other than the qualitative change in her life due to evolution, much less whether she should be happy that she really wasn't a psychopath.

    Do you believe this person is still alive? Gu Chaoge broke the silence.

    Hearing Gu Yan Wang start to speak, Wu Huai was relieved instead, and he pondered for a few seconds before he figured out that Gu Chaoge was asking about the man named Peng Jiansen.

    Believe it. Wu Huai scratched his head, It's not like it's written in that information that he's definitely dead, but he should be over a hundred years old if he's lived until now.

    Gu Chaoge murmured, Yeah, over a hundred years old ......

    This is not something impossible. Wu Huai continued, I've heard that there are still old people in our country who live to be over one hundred and twenty years old, that's really called 'old but not dead'.

    Gu Chaoge was dumbfounded and lit another cigarette, tossing one to Wu Huai in passing before asking, So if I say that this centenarian single-handedly killed three young and strong young men not long ago, would you still believe me?

    No way? Wu Huai's action of lighting a cigarette stalled, incredulous: Officer Gu you bragging also have to talk about the basic law ah, not to mention the three young and strong young man, even if I'm this crippled, but if he is in front of me, I can be a foot to give him knocked over.

    Gu Chaoge froze for a moment, then suddenly said with a seeming smile, This is what you said.

    Wu Huai inexplicably shivered and got a little panicked.

    What if what I say is true? Gu Chaoge continued.

    Officer Gu, don't scare me. Wu Huai smiled sarcastically, Then he's not a demon? I'm a firm supporter of defeating all evil spirits, if there really is such a thing, there must be someone playing tricks, maybe it's a deliberate plastic surgery to look like the guy in the photo, just to scare people.

    If Gu Chaoge hadn't had that four-year-long dream, hadn't heard Zhu Haitang say the theory that
