Gong Yingxian took Ren Yi to another office area, which was a room with a very large span. A wall was paved with LED boards in front of him, and rows of desks were filled with computers and some equipment that Ren Yi didn't recognize. At this time, most of the people were working overtime.

Gong Yingxian walked towards a table in the corner and shouted to a thick back: "Xiao Tan."

The back trembled, and a mouthful of Coke sprinkled out, sprinkled half of the keyboard. He stood up in a hurry and took out a tissue to wipe it.

Gong Yingxian shook her head: "It's time to get off work now, you don't have to hide it if you want to eat."

The man turned around and smiled, "Dr. Gong, you scared me."

He looked in his early twenties, white and fat, his eyes were big, round and clear, and his skin was so tender that he could pinch out water. He smiled gently and harmlessly. If he lost weight, he would definitely be a handsome guy.

"This is Ren Yi, the captain of Phoenix Squadron. This is Tan Haochun, a colleague from our Cyber ​​Crime Department, and is a very powerful hacker."

"Okay, it's not very powerful either." Tan Haochun smiled embarrassedly and stretched out his hand at Ren Yi, "Hello Captain Ren."

"Hello."

As soon as Ren Yi reached out his hand, Tan Haochun shook his hand back like an electric shock, "Sorry, my hands are dirty, I'll wash it first."

Gong Yingxian stretched out his long arm and blocked Tan Haochun's face. He took out the disinfectant from his pocket: "Sit down and save some time."

Tan Haochun sat down obediently and stretched out his hand like a primary school student waiting to receive punishment from the teacher.

Gong Yingxian sprayed the disinfectant on his hands, and he rubbed it, and then wiped it clean with a tissue.

Ren Yi held back his laughter and coughed lightly.

The two shook hands again, and Tan Haochun blinked at Ren Yi: "I often hear female colleagues mention Captain Ren recently, and it turns out to be the same as what they said, tall and handsome."

Ren Yi smiled and said, "Is that so popular in your branch? I'll ask which one is more salary, one who is a police officer or a firefighter, maybe one can change his or her job."

Tan Haochun laughed and said, "Captain Ren is so humorous."

Gong Yingxian looked down at the potato chips, beef jerky, melon seeds and cola stains on Tan Haochun's table.

Tan Haochun quickly cleaned up all the things he could do, wiped all the things he could do, and then looked at Gong Yingxian nervously.

Gong Yingxian pointed to the side: "Come here with two chairs."

The two of them turned around to move the chairs at the same time.

Gong Yingxian sat in the chair: "Xiao Tan, you just told me that there is progress and that Zhou Chuan can be reviewed tomorrow. I need some useful information now."

"Yes." Tan Haochun switched the screen, and a web page with a dark red background and flame pattern appeared in front of the two of them. The web page was pure English, and the person with six wings on his head was a human-faced snake with six wings wrapped around a sword, carrying burning flames.

The small words below are exactly - seraph.

Unlike Ren Yi imagined, the homepage of this dark web is very simple. He thought that the dark web would use a message explosion like those pop-up pornographic websites, wishing to put all the eye-catching things on one page, but this homepage does not even have a picture, only the website logo, name and several classification boxes.

Among them, the option "live" ranks first.

"This is Seraph." Just looking at this dark web, Ren Yi felt a little depressed, "Is this website specially built for arsonists?"

"To be precise, it's arsonism." Tan Haochun said, "Not all arsonisms have the courage to commit crimes. Everything on this website is related to fire, you can imagine and unimaginable, and everything you can imagine. There are live broadcasts of playing fire arson, photos and videos, tutorials on arson or making explosives, communication forums, and almost everything about fire can be found here."

"Are there many people like Zhou Chuan?"

Tan Haochun nodded: "People like Zhou Chuan are called bounty hunters on this website. They make money by satisfying arsonism. For example, after a fire scene like the Fourth Perspective, a set of photos and videos can be sold at least 10 'quarks'."

“‘Quark’?”

"Quark is a physics term, the smallest known particle at present." Gong Yingxian said.

Tan Haochun nodded: "Well, but the quark mentioned here is the name of a virtual currency, just like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Of course, it is not that valuable. One quark is about... about 20 to 25 US dollars."

"So Zhou Chuan can earn one or two thousand yuan by taking that set of photos?" Ren Yi sneered, "He has been detained for 48 hours. Is it cost-effective?"

"Yes, but live broadcasts are much more expensive." Tan Haochun said, "The live broadcasts at the scene after the fire start at more than US$200 in five minutes. Of course, this money is usually not paid by one person, but crowdfunded by people participating in the live broadcast. If you make special requests, you have to add money."

Gong Yingxian said in a deep voice: "The live broadcast of the ruins after the fire is of a relatively low level in Seraph."

"Where is the high-level?" Ren Yi subconsciously clenched his fists, "Is the fire live broadcast?"

Tan Haochun's face looked a little ugly, "There are all kinds of live broadcasts here, some... some are really something that people can't do."

Gong Yingxian said expressionlessly: "There are people who burn various objects live, and there are also... burning people."

Ren Yi took a breath and said in a trembling voice: "Why does this kind of website still exist?!"

Tan Haochun smiled bitterly and said, "Because it's too difficult to catch. Their servers are all over the world. If they want to destroy such a dark web, it is almost impossible to investigate and handle cases in several countries. Unless they are caught by technicians, the programmers of this website are too awesome and are at the level of the world's top hackers. I conquered three days before I found the loophole in the firewall. I was discovered after just three minutes of entering."

"What useful thing have you found?"

Tan Haochun grabbed his hair: "I'll show you a video first, you must be mentally prepared."

"……how?"

"This video is among the top three of Seraphites' clicks recently, and it once ranked first." Tan Haochun glanced at them, a little hesitant.

Gong Yingxian said: "Let it go."

Tan Haochun switched to a web page. The two of them looked at the freeze-framed scene on the video and felt a little familiar, and an ominous premonition arose in their hearts.

Press the play button and the dark background becomes clear from blur and a yellow sedan appears in the picture, which is a car they will never forget!

Gong Yingxian and Ren Yi knew everything after that, because they were at the scene. They heard their voices entering the screen with chills all over their bodies, and then the car was ignited by the man in black, and the fire rushed towards Zhou Chuan. Zhou Chuan fell to the ground and the camera began to shake.

Ren Yi still remembers the one that was mounted on a tripod. The camera was facing the laptop of the car. The tripod was burned for a while before it fell down. In other words... In other words, before the tripod fell, he and Gong Yingxian appeared in the picture!

At that time, they were eager to save people, cats and firefighting. The scene was in chaos and completely ignored the camera. This camera was silently shooting, recording, and live broadcasting on the fired car.

The two of them looked increasingly ugly. Although it was difficult to see clearly in the video, they clearly remembered that they had called each other's name.

Until Gong Yingxian dragged Ren Yi away from the car, the camera fell to the ground.

Ren Yi felt his mouth and tongue dry, and he couldn't say what he was feeling at this time, but Gong Yingxian's eyes were dull and his body was full of murderous aura.

Tan Haochun secretly glanced at the two of them: "I open the barrage now, you need to have..."

Gong Yingxian said in a cold voice: "I don't need to be mentally prepared, don't waste time."

Ren Yi whispered: "Don't do this, Xiao Tan is helping us."

Tan Haochun waved his hand: "It's okay." He clicked on the barrage.

In an instant, scrolling messages appeared on the video, most of which were in English.

Ren Yi's English is not very good, but for the sake of credit, he has passed Level 4. He saw some people saying that this video is great, some people saying that one is a policeman checking and the other is a firefighter, some people saying that they want to hear their screaming in the car, and some people saying that their handsome faces are charred will be the most beautiful picture in the world.

Then, Ren Yi saw his name, age, phone number, location, address, position, and firefighter number appear in the barrage in Chinese and English, followed by Gong Yingxian.

He was creepy.

Gong Yingxian narrowed her eyes: "They can find so many from just one video?"

"This video has exposed a lot of things." Tan Haochun said, "It's not difficult for hackers. But you don't have to worry too much. Even if you know about it, it's not easy for those who are abroad to harass you. If you are in China, you won't dare to expose yourself more than half of them. Have you received harassing calls or something like that in the past few days?"

"No." Gong Yingxian sneered, "I'm not worried. Most arsonists are timid and weak, and they show silence, shyness, and unsociableness in society. They use fire to hide and strengthen themselves. Subconsciously, they feel that the bigger the fire, the bigger they appear. The typical coward mentality is. Most of them have no courage to contact police investigations and firefighters."

"They don't have the courage, but most of the bounty hunters who make money by satisfying them are not arsonist. Among them are real vicious criminals, you should be careful." Tan Haochun whispered, "Now... someone has already offered a high price to reward things related to you."

Ren Yi gritted his teeth and said, "I'm just worried that I can't catch these beasts. If I have sex, I'll come here."

"Show me." Gong Yingxian said, "Maybe we can use this to catch people."

"Yes, that man in black."

Tan Haochun switched to the web page again: "The reward is here, the first place crowdfunded nearly 40,000 US dollars, as long as... any of you. But don't worry, it's been several days, no one dares to take it."

Gong Yingxian looked at the reward list carefully and said, "This is the first time that the man in black has done it. He should not be in the same group as Zhou Chuan."

"How do you know?" Ren Yi asked.

"I watched the videos taken on our mobile phones repeatedly. The man in black acted clumsy, hesitant, nervous, and scared. From many body language, he could not help but end it quickly. Moreover, he had never watched the live broadcast from beginning to end. Obviously, he had no interest in rewards and was only concerned about blocking his face and characteristics. He didn't seem to have come for money, like he was coerced."

Ren Yi recalled: "But he did not hesitate when he burned the car."

"He burned the car to create chaos and escape." Gong Yingxian said, "No one of us received our reward mission."

"Well, there are still relatively few Chinese people on this website, and the Apocalypse Public Security is so good. It is too risky to attack a public harmony staff member, although 40,000 US dollars is already a high bounty." Tan Haochun said, "Anyway, you should be careful, just in case."

Ren Yi asked: "What are the bounties of this level usually?"

"Burn alive people to death, or burn large, important, well-known things. There are many people burning, and even if the prices are high, it is not easy to accept buildings, especially in developed countries. If the target is too large, it is easy to be caught."

"What a bunch of perverts." Ren Yi cursed.

"Did you find any useful clues?" Gong Yingxian said, "Is it just our video?"

"No, there is information about that live broadcast, and some of the things I dug up on this website." Tan Haochun said, "There is something that I care a lot. I found a post in their forum."

“What post?”

"Dr. Gong, do you still remember the toilet murder case in a famous fast food restaurant in Utah, USA a few years ago?"
