Chapter 41 Don't Kill Innocent People
"Hikvision was the world's number one surveillance brand back then. It was also the strongest in the field of facial recognition security. It once cooperated with the NSA and the Ministry of Labor and Social Security to establish a portrait recognition file for the whole people. At that time, Amazon also supported this matter in order to prevent Alipay's face-scanning payment business from invading the United States and tried to get a share of the pie.
So, in 2038, before the company's facial recognition business in the United States was forcibly entrusted by the state, the company's database already contained all the avatar data of American citizens over 6 years old at that time. Before my parents had an accident, they paid attention to backing up some of them. Although it was not complete, it was enough."
This is the main reliance of Mona's plan.
Although this is good news for Zhou Ke today, his conscience still made him unable to help asking: "So terrible? Then did Hikvision also have ambitions to monitor the world?"
Mona smiled bitterly and complained: "How can you think so - I can show you the data details. At that time, my parents and their company only collected 3D avatar data and the corresponding social security ID identification code.
In other words, you can only know ‘what the person corresponding to an ID number looks like’, that’s all. As for where he lives, contact information, work unit… we don’t know this data unless it is officially allowed to be publicly queried.”
Zhou Ke thought about it and knew that Mona was telling the truth.
They live in an era of data explosion. It is inevitable to collect and monitor big data. It is nothing more than to master a good degree and prevent black-hearted businessmen from directly enslaving the world with data monitoring.
"I'm sorry, I was sensitive just now, so I just said it casually, don't take it to my heart." Zhou Ke apologized shyly.
"No, I'm glad you still have a conscience." Mona didn't care and said directly, "Since I have this database, my idea is to find a few people who are suitable for our current identity and appearance based on our avatar and age, preferably a lonely person with no relatives and friends.
Then…we disguised themselves as their identities and went to the Battle Royale competition. After the game, we replaced the newly obtained LV11 top-class chip into the stealth box, and we were completely safe.”
"Disguised as their identities? Are you talking about killing these innocent people? This... and, technically, it's not possible. We haven't got a new automatic surgical instrument. The last time the machine was disposable, and we don't have electronic and robot experts here, so we can't copy and produce it." Zhou Ke asked a little incoherently.
Sometimes he emphasized moral concerns, and sometimes he talked about feasibility.
Although he participated in the battle royale, he was still very resistant to killing innocent people in society.
After all, people who participate in the battle royale competition take the initiative to go, and they know what the outcome may be. Some even pursue fame and fortune.
On the other hand, in Zhou Ke's heart, he has always been less respectful to American soldiers. Because the United States is not a nation-state, but an immigrant country. This country has no nationalism, and soldiers have no national justice to defend their country. They are just engaged in a job of killing people with money.
So if this kind of person is killed, he will be killed. As an Asian, Zhou Ke has no sense of immersion in defending the United States.
But the innocent people in society are another matter.
People don’t want to bet on their lives, nor do they have the awareness of “killing people with money or being killed”. Isn’t it bullying the weak when they kill casually?
"Try to find some less innocent people, if you can find them. We can take it slowly anyway." Mona had no better way, so she could only persuade her like this first and take a step at that time.
"As for technical issues, I don't think you have to worry - when you removed the chip behind me, the reason you used a professional automatic surgical instrument was because you wanted to ensure that I survived. However, if you don't care whether the person who was unplugged the chip was dead or alive, and directly dismantled it by more violent means, there should be no such high requirements."
Zhou Ke thought about it and was right.
If you don't care about the life or death of the person who has been cut off the chip, then you can cut off the flesh on the back of your neck and the medulla oblong nerve with just one knife, and then slowly flip and select it, and you will definitely be able to remove the chip intact.
At that time, take professional electronic product cleaning agents, clean the flesh and blood nerves, and stuff them into the stealth machine box... It's similar to the person who "just because of the poor signal, he occasionally breaks the wire for a few minutes."
...
The kind Zhou Ke embarked on the road of finding someone who has no choice but to die.
In Mona's database, there are only corresponding avatar and ID numbers, and there is no other data.
But the ID number in the United States can show a person's birth year and hometown, so at least we can provide more clues.
As for the issue of "the photos were from 8 years ago, some children became disabled as they grow older", the impact was not very big.
Nowadays, the appearance realization technology is very developed. Basically, based on a person's appearance when he was seven or eight years old, he can deduce his appearance when he became an adult - as long as that guy doesn't have plastic surgery or gets fatter and thinner, he can basically achieve 80% of the image.
Moreover, Zhou Ke and Mona only need to select people of their age to check, so they mostly just need to go to high schools in this city or nearby cities to stay in high schools.
From Miami to Oakland, after three or four consecutive days, I really met several Asian high school students with figures and ages similar to Zhou Ke.
However, the people Zhou Ke found either had parents and elders at home, or were really innocent, which made people unable to bear to take action.
In addition to being temporarily frustrated, Zhou Ke also summarized several valuable lessons based on his IQ of 200:
"You must find someone who has both parents and no family members. This will not be easy to get rid of them."
"It is best to be a fresh graduate of high school. Because in two weeks it will be July, everyone will be on summer vacation and go back to prepare for the SAT exam in August (the American college entrance examination). If you are an orphan who eats social relief, as long as the SAT is taken to other cities to go to college, you can basically avoid the interactions between all classmates in middle school and reduce the possibility of being discovered."
"Face shape and appearance are not important, but height is more important. Because the face shape is slightly worse, after the battle royale game, it can be explained as 'use the game bonus to go for plastic surgery'. In addition, most white people can't tell the appearance of Asians, and they can't even tell the difference between Han people and Japanese people."
After sorting out the ideas, I looked for them in a targeted manner, and finally the efficiency was higher.
Mona was also inspired by these principles and expanded her search scope.
...
This day was already June 25, 2044, a Saturday.
Next week is the final exam week. After the exam on Thursday, all high schools will start summer vacation. First-year high school freshmen will go back to have fun, while second-year high school students will prepare for the SAT exam (you can choose to stay in school for tutoring, Asians generally do this)
There is not much time left for Zhou Ke.
Finally, early that morning, Mona took a printed file and handed it to Zhou Ke: "Hey, look at this person, what do you think? Can you do it? Asians, both parents died, and they are corrupt and greedy, and finally there is a person who has enough to die."
"I'll look at the detailed information." Zhou Ke felt excited and answered with appreciation.
"Name: Lai Qixiao, male, born in 2029. Nationality: United States; habitual residence: Jamaica/Cuba.
Both his parents are citizens and officials from an Asian country. They came to the United States in 2028 and then took the opportunity to get pregnant in the United States and stayed in Miami. They used US laws to forcibly stayed until childbirth, allowing the child to naturally obtain American nationality.
Later, his father was corrupt and was extradited back to the country for trial in accordance with the extradition treaty. His family was in the United States, and all Cuba's property was recovered across countries.
Only one small coffee plantation in Jamaica's Blue Mountains is retained because there is no property between Jamaica and the country to implement the treaty across the country.
Later, his parents died in 2039 and 2036, due to discomfort and difficulties. Before his mother died, considering the high prices in the United States, she moved to Cuba and Jamaica to study, but she still retained her American nationality…”
When Zhou Ke saw this, he thought everything was quite appropriate, but the execution level was a bit unreliable:
"This person is still in Cuba? How can we do it?"
"Use my yacht to smuggle over, find it, and then kill it... Now the anti-smuggling methods rely on GPS to locate personal chips, and the coastal radar station has long been abandoned. However, our small yacht has old-fashioned radar and sonar, so it is no problem to go to Havana. It is only more than 100 nautical miles and it arrives in the middle of the night."
As Mona said, she pointed to a point suitable for landing near Havana on the electronic map: "It's all right here, Bay of Pigs."
Zhou Ke said speechlessly: "Does Zhu Bay landing? It seems not very good. 80 years ago, the CIA supported those who resisted Castro, so he chose this place and failed in the end."
Mona didn't care: "We are atheists. Isn't it true that the geographical conditions are appropriate?"
Zhou Ke thought for a while and said, "That's right, so let's do it. On the way to go, set the automatic return of the yacht first and let the boat drive back by itself so as not to reveal flaws.
As for ourselves, when we succeed, we will take the battle royale tournament and come back according to the official channels - in the past two days, you will also choose the female target, and follow this principle. Find a Latino Fruit official's children whose parents have both died. If you kill this kind of person, you won't feel guilty if you kill them. Then, we pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend who want to elope and are opposed by the world. So I think... don't laugh, I'm not trying to take advantage of you, I'm serious."
When Zhou Ke spoke at the end, he found that Mona looked at him with that "you know" look, and she smiled with a wicked smile on her face.
