Special Operations Team
Early the next morning, Lu Miao was awakened by a call from Lu Xingyang.
"Miaomiao! Take your team members to the base next door for a meeting immediately!"
She was stunned. "What kind of meeting is this at the base?"
"That's an awesome meeting! Hurry!"
She got up immediately. Before going out, she watered the cactus with 15ml of pure water.
"Just wait for me to come back." She touched the thorns of the cactus.
The slanting wind and drizzle washed away the dust, and the pH value of the rain hovered around "5". The weather forecast reminded citizens to be vigilant against acid rain.
Lu Miao and his group, wearing their team's insignia, arrived at the gate of Nanjiang Military Base and were greeted by two soldiers.
"Everyone in the Fluorescent Green Team, please follow us."
Wang Keke was listless and absent-minded.
Weekend suddenly asked her: "Do you dare to come in?"
Wang Keke rolled her eyes at him. "If you dare to come in, why shouldn't I?"
One's original identity is not to be revealed, and the other is a wealthy woman.
Two people are laughing at each other when they are only fifty steps apart.
The soldiers led them to the large conference room in the base's administrative building. The room was filled with people in military and police uniforms sitting upright.
Wang Keke and Weekend secretly tensed their bodies, feeling like criminals being held in a police station, awaiting severe interrogation.
Yu Xiaowan kept rubbing the corners of her clothes, looking awkward and reserved.
Lu Miao looked around and found a familiar face.
Not only were there the young detectives Chen Zhanqin, Zhang Lian, and Feng Yan, but also the mayor and the secretary. The mayor still sat at the head of the table, and the seat next to her on the right was a stern-looking middle-aged man.
Chen Zhanqin waved to her and was glared at by Lao Li who was sitting next to him.
None of the staff from Section 1 were present, and only Lu Xingyang and the Fluorescent Green Team from Section 2 participated in the meeting.
"The Fluorescent Green Team is here, please take a seat." Boss Han stood up and asked the five people to sit down.
The five seats were left empty for them.
In the conference room, Lu Xingyang, Hongmao and Wang Keke's pink hair were too eye-catching, and the conservative elders kept glancing at them.
"Now that everyone is here, let's get started." The mayor introduced the middle-aged man sitting next to her and said, "First, let me introduce everyone. The person next to me is the head of the Cyber Security Department of the Public Security Department, Inspector Lin. He will be in charge of this special operation and will be your commander-in-chief."
Next, Inspector Lin spoke: "Before the meeting, I believe everyone has heard of the popular online urban legend in the past week - the Red School."
Everyone nodded seriously.
Inspector Lin: "According to our in-depth investigation by the Cyber Security Department, we have confirmed that the Red School ad pop-up window appeared on the Internet on March 29."
It was the day before the Golden Courtyard ghost story area appeared, Lu Miao thought to himself.
"Pop-up ads were placed all over the country through the Internet. After searching the Internet, we found that everyone who clicked on the link to the pop-up ad disappeared. According to rough statistics, thousands of people have disappeared this week."
Everyone's expressions became more solemn.
Inspector Lin frowned and clasped his hands. "The Ministry of State Security attaches great importance to this online urban legend that has caused a large number of people to disappear. They have issued a document to select relevant personnel from our city to form a special operations team to investigate and dismantle this online urban legend."
The mayor continued: "I believe everyone has seen that the participants are from different units, including the military, the police, and the government's Ghost Story Investigation Department. The three parties must cooperate to dismantle the 'Red School' and rescue the trapped missing persons."
The colonel nodded. "We carefully selected the personnel and finally decided to send the personnel who had worked together to obtain RN99. Not only do you know each other, but you have also worked together before. We believe that with your tacit understanding, you will be able to complete the task excellently this time."
Lu Miao thought about another question.
"Boss Han, do you have any questions?" asked the female mayor.
"We have no problem with the Ghost Story Investigation Department. I wish you all the best!"
After the meeting, Inspector Lin decided to set up a base for the special operations team at the Nanjiang military base. The military was very happy to do so and provided electronic equipment, venues and three meals a day.
Soldiers from the Communications Battalion and personnel from the Cyber Security Department installed computers, set up bases and tested electronic equipment.
Wang Keke and the others had nothing to do for the time being, so they went to help.
Lu Miao stood in the corridor without saying a word, his brows never relaxed.
Inspector Lin came over to greet her. "Hello, Captain Lu. I've heard a lot about you. I'm glad we have the opportunity to work together."
Lu Miao said politely: "It is our honor to cooperate with the Cyber Security Department."
Inspector Lin smiled. "If the 'Red School' is really a ghost story, this time, we also plan to send soldiers, criminal police and some personnel from our network security department to go in. What do you think, Captain Lu?"
She didn't say anything.
Old hands are all shrewd people. Inspector Lin said quickly: "Captain Lu has a lot of experience in cracking the code. He might as well give you some advice."
She stared at the busy people and asked, "Inspector Lin, you said in the meeting that thousands of people disappeared across the country because of this, right?"
"Yes."
"Have you ever entered the realm of ghost stories?"
“Yes.”
"Thousands of people entered the field of strange stories that appeared for a week. What do you think of that?"
Inspector Lin was startled, frowning. "Thousands of people are missing. We don't know how many people died in the field of ghost stories. I'm afraid this is a very difficult field to crack."
"Yes, I suggest that those who go in have a close trust relationship, and other non-essential people stay outside."
Inspector Lin looked a little embarrassed. "In such a large-scale ghost story area, only a few people entered?"
“Why does this strange story field still exist when thousands of people have entered it?”
He was at a loss for words. "But..."
"Inspector Lin, are you going to save people this time or experience the horror of the ghost story field?"
After talking with her, Inspector Lin went to the stairwell alone to smoke, looking gloomy.
The electronics have been installed and the technicians are in place.
He Ping'an is also a technician. He sat next to a police officer from the Cyber Security Department and checked the code source of the "Red School" advertisement pop-up window.
The police officer looked at him in surprise. "You can also read the code?"
"Um."
"Where did you learn that?"
“I can teach myself, and there are also courses in the department.”
He was delighted. "If you are interested, you can transfer to our network security department."
"Is the monthly salary 20,000?"
"Uh... this..."
“Is there a performance bonus every month?”
"Performance...efficiency..."
“Are there quarterly bonuses?”
“…”
At this moment, the police officer realized that he was not working, but acting like a cow.
Zhang Lian, Lu Miao and others had nothing to do, so they stood in the aisle watching the technicians operate.
"Captain Lu, this field of ghost stories is very tricky." Zhang Lian said in a low voice.
"It's possible to survive."
Chen Zhanqin pouted. "Sister, can you say something auspicious? I have never been in a relationship, at least let me have one."
Lu Miao couldn't help laughing: "Can 007 find a girlfriend?"
The sharp words were like arrows, piercing his heart. "Sister, why are you hurting me? Wuwuwu..."
Feng Yan: "Should we eat something good before we go in?"
"Don't be such a pessimist, Brother Feng!"
When Inspector Lin came in and saw the people talking and laughing, he immediately made an important decision.
Seeing him walking quickly towards them, everyone stopped smiling.
"Captain Lu, I've made up my mind." He said righteously, "According to your wishes, quality is more important than quantity."
“Thank you for your recognition.”
Inspector Lin heaved a sigh of relief as if a worry had been solved. "At this stage, we will first investigate the origin of the 'red school'. I have asked someone to analyze which school the picture in the ad pop-up window came from. There should be results soon."
They are willing to wait patiently.
"Inspector Lin!" A soldier rushed in. "The government's administrative building next door is being harassed by the media. They want to interview the investigators of the 'Red School'..."
Why was the media reacting so quickly?
Everyone was surprised.
"Tell the people next door to drive them away." Inspector Lin gave the order.
"But there was a female anchor who said she knew Captain Lu and wanted to meet her. She kept pestering me and refused to leave..."
Hearing this, everyone looked at Lu Miao.
She curled her lips and said, "Please ask her to go to the office next door alone. I will go see her."
Inspector Lin was worried: "I'll go too."
Shao Rongrong, whose filming and recording equipment had been taken away, followed the receptionist who led the way to a room in the administrative building. She leaned out of the window and looked around.
"Anchor Shao, you are very well-informed."
Hearing a familiar female voice, she turned around in surprise. "Captain Lu!"
Lu Miao and Inspector Lin walked into the room.
Shao Rongrong trotted over and held Lu Miao's arm, smiling sweetly: "Fortunately, Captain Lu still remembers me."
"Anchor Shao, where did you get this information?" asked Inspector Lin.
Shao Rongrong smiled mysteriously. "The media naturally has its own methods. You are Inspector Lin. Last time you came to the TV station to do a legal education program. It seems that Inspector Lin is in charge this time?"
She turned her beautiful eyes and looked at Lu Miao beside her. "Are the police force cooperating with the Ghost Story Investigation Department?"
Lu Miao smiled and said, "Do you want to have an exclusive interview in the whole country?"
Shao Rongrong's eyes lit up. "Can I?"
Inspector Lin replied, "Of course you can, but you have to wait until we finish the operation. You can interview any member of the operation staff you want."
This was what he and Lu Miao had discussed on the way here.
Instead of driving her away and silencing her, it is better to give her exclusive interview rights.
"Maybe this exclusive interview can win you an award."
Shao Rongrong gritted her teeth. "Okay, I can wait! But can my cameraman and I watch your actions? We can keep our cameras for you."
Lu Miao and Police Inspector Lin looked at each other.
Finally, Inspector Lin nodded in agreement.
Then, Zhang Yonggan came in noisily, carrying a camera. His camera and mobile phone were confiscated, and he was searched very thoroughly.
After making sure that the two men had nothing on them, Lu Miao and Inspector Lin led them to the military base next door.
"And cooperate with the military..."
Shao Rongrong and Zhang Yonggan were amazed by the personnel and huge electronic equipment in the stronghold.
"It's just in time that you're back. We have figured out the origin of the 'Red School' on the ad interface!"
Lu Miao and others immediately surrounded the technician.
However, the technicians did not bring good news. "Based on the analysis, the school pictures were fused with AI, and we found the prototypes of several key high schools."
"Fusion?" Lu Miao felt increasingly troubled. "The ghost stories we have experienced are all based on real buildings or objects. This is the first time we have encountered such a situation."
Chen Zhanqin quickly added: "And they are all key high schools?"
"Yes, it is a well-known key high school in the country."
"Are those high school students affected?" asked Inspector Lin.
"We have called and interviewed these key high schools. They are operating normally and students are attending classes normally. However, some students have disappeared from their bedrooms at home and are suspected to have clicked on the pop-up advertisements for 'Red Schools'."
Inspector Lin had a splitting headache.
"Also, among the missing persons, high school students accounted for 11%, while college students accounted for as high as 34%."
Children are the seeds of the country and students are the future of the country. They must prevent the disappearance of large numbers of students.
The crackdown is imminent.
"We will click on the pop-up ad ourselves." Lu Miao said firmly.
