This list of items seized from the dummies' gathering places was quickly reported to the General Administration.
Lin Mo doesn't have to worry about arresting people according to the list.
All he had to do was to preliminarily verify the authenticity of the list.
After a brief study of the contents of the list, Lin Mo came to the conclusion that the list was real.
The people above can correspond to Liu Hui’s group of dummies.
Liu Hui also solemnly guaranteed that there was absolutely no problem with this list.
"You don't know that the manager who made this list is a manager himself. He said that the dummies need to stick together and be managed in a unified way, so he went to great lengths to make such a list. In fact, in my opinion, this is completely unnecessary. But now it is convenient for us to catch them all in one fell swoop."
It is true that Liu Hui is the number one traitor among the dummies.
Just as it said, this list is of course of great help to Lin Mo and the General Administration.
However, this list is said to include all the dummies in Qianlong City, a total of 379 people, but it is definitely not all included. There are definitely some who are not included in the list and there are some who have slipped through the net.
But with the help of the list, 90% of the dummies in Qianlong City can be eliminated, and the value of the list is reflected.
All in all, this is a great achievement.
If nothing unexpected happens, after this matter is over, Lin Mo will still be able to receive a commendation from the General Administration based on his merits.
As for whether it is a first-class merit or a second-class merit, it depends on whether we can catch some big fish from these dummies.
Lin Mo spent the next two days busy with this matter.
He is the leader of the Special Incident Investigation Team and the commander-in-chief of the dummy clearing operation. Of course, he is the busiest one. Even if he is not required to go out in person to catch people, he has been exhausted in the past two days.
This was because the General Administration temporarily allocated a large number of manpower to him.
There are twenty members in the official expert group of the General Administration, many of whom are Lin Mo’s acquaintances, and they cooperate very well.
In addition, the peripheral action team has even more members, more than two hundred people.
But the one who made the greatest contribution was not Lin Mo, not the experts in the expert group, nor the members of the action team, but the "traitor team" led by Liu Hui.
That's real effort, and it's really ruthless.
Because the dummies are able to sense each other, Liu Hui divided up several of their subordinates, with one action team following each, to ensure that they could hit the right target.
This undoubtedly helped a lot.
Moreover, Liu Hui also made use of some of his strengths, which was to recruit new members for his team of betrayers.
Of course it has to be the kind of fake person who is afraid of death.
To be honest, there aren't many dummies like this, but they definitely exist.
After two days, the number of members of the betrayer team has exceeded twelve.
Of course, Lin Mo has already registered Liu Hui and these dummies with the General Administration, because once a dummies copies a human, it cannot copy another one. Based on this feature, there is no need to worry about these dummies playing tricks.
As long as you strictly control it, you can restrain and control it.
Because the most accurate way to sense a dummies is to use them. With Liu Hui and his group of "traitors", identifying dummies is no longer a problem.
By the third day, all the dummies on the list had been cleared.
Some were arrested and interrogated, while others were killed on the spot.
It can be said that the results are remarkable.
The higher-ups spoke highly of this matter, but Lin Mo knew that this was only the first step in the entire action plan.
It's like curing an illness.
This is only a temporary solution. If we want to solve the problem fundamentally, we have to find the source of these dummies.
If the source is not blocked, the dummies will continue to appear.
Lin Mo has also been investigating this matter these two days.
It stands to reason that if we just ask a random dummy, we can find out where they came from, but that's where the problem lies.
None of Liu Hui and the Traitor Team's dummies remembered where they came from.
From the moment they became conscious, they were somewhere in the nightmare world of Qianlong City.
At first Lin Mo didn't believe it.
But every one of them said so, so Lin Mo couldn't help but believe it.
Lin Mo also interrogated other dummy prisoners and got the same answers.
The dummies couldn't remember where they came from.
The feeling just comes out of nowhere.
This is weird and not normal.
Apparently, I don't know enough about dummies, which is why I've been looking for Liu Hui to communicate with him frequently these past two days.
Liu Hui said that, to some extent, they are now humans.
"We are human beings. Don't disbelieve it. At least we think so." Liu Hui was serious and didn't look like he was joking at all.
Apparently that's what it thinks.
"For example, I have all of Liu Hui's memories. How can I describe that feeling? It's like I had a dream one day. I dreamed that I turned into a fake person, and then I looked for a target, found myself, copied myself, and then woke up. I was myself... Do you understand?"
Liu Hui obviously wanted to understand his feelings.
Lin Mo thought about it.
Say you don't understand.
"It's fake, it's fake, why do you take it seriously?" Lin Mo said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"But in my opinion, we are real, just with an extra memory of a fake person. Apart from that, we will be affected by some other negative and dark thoughts. Sometimes, we will want to release the malice in our hearts, want to destroy, want to kill..."
"And cannibalism?" Lin Mo added.
As a result, Liu Hui was very excited and shook his head violently, saying, "No, I don't eat people. I just provide a place. Only those fake people who can't control their desires will eat people."
Lin Mo could really see that Liu Hui was expressing his true feelings at this moment, and he was even a little anxious and angry in his efforts to defend himself.
Lin Mo could also feel the same emotion from several other betrayers.
Lin Mo just said that he didn't understand but he was actually lying to the other party.
Of course he understood.
The reason why fake people like Liu Hui betray and choose to help the "human" side may not be accidental, nor is it because they are really afraid of death.
It is a characteristic.
Characteristics of this type of dummy.
In their memories and thoughts, the 'human' side is obviously stronger, which is a kind of identity recognition.
Moreover, the occurrence of this situation seems to be related to the qualities of the humans being copied.
It's like, if you inherit the memory of a good person, you may also be influenced by the memory of a good person. That's about it.
Because there are precedents.
He is Academician Li, the only survivor of the previous Tongmen incident.
In fact, the real Academician Li is already dead.
Academician Li who was rescued later was actually a dummy.
But in the fake Academician Li's cognition, he is Academician Li, and is not affected by the fake person's negative emotions.
Lin Mo stared at Liu Hui, forming a concept in his mind.
Perhaps, in addition to Academician Li, some other fake people can also be guided to do good.
Then they play their own value.
However, it is definitely impossible to achieve for the time being. Even if Lin Mo agrees, the higher-ups will not agree. Even Academician Li is actually under surveillance at present.
Lin Mo decided to focus on the task at hand for the time being.
However, the search for the origin of the golems is currently at a standstill because none of the golems remember where they were born.
Lin Mo also asked the 'Academician Li' who was also a fake person about this matter, but the other party didn't know either.
In addition, Lin Mo also had some other worries.
For example, of the paper cranes he had released before, except for the letter that Yu Po wrote back to him some time ago, the other letters had no result.
Lin Mo understood why Shi Wenjun and the captain did not reply, because the Glutton might be very far away, so it would take a long time for the paper crane to reach the destination.
Lin Mo understood why the paper crane written to his brother Lin Yuan did not come back, because his brother Lin Yuan was very mysterious, so the place where the other party was must also be very mysterious.
It is possible that the paper cranes did not find each other.
But why didn't he get a reply to the paper crane letter he wrote to Liu Jia? Lin Mo didn't quite understand.
After thinking it over again and again, Lin Mo wrote two more letters.
One of them was addressed to Liu Jia.
The content is also very simple, just asking the other party to reply.
The other one was written to my dad.
Dad is in a very special place, Xinghua Hotel, which is an area where time is constantly revolving. Mainly, Lin Mo missed his dad and wanted to ask how he and mom were doing.
After writing the letter, Lin Mo began to stare at the various clues on the wall in deep thought.
The source of the dummies in Qianlong City must be found. If this hole is not blocked, the crisis will never be resolved.
Just at this moment, the phone on the table rang.
Lin Mo picked up the phone and it was the director calling, asking him to go to the director's office immediately.
When Lin Mo went over, the director was looking at some documents. After waiting for a while, the director handed the documents to Lin Mo.
"Take a look first."
Lin Mo nodded, took it and flipped through it, and found that it was a case file.
It records the process of a very serious and horrific case.
It is said that more than ten days ago, someone died suddenly and mysteriously in Qianlong City.
People die silently.
Judging from the situation at the scene, it was obvious that he was attacked by some kind of nightmare, because the body in the real world did not have any fatal injuries.
This judgment is obviously correct.
After reading half of it, Lin Mo discovered that many people had indeed died. There were thirteen deaths recorded in the file.
Of course, Qianlong City is so big that people die every day. The reason why these thirteen dead people are connected together is that they were all wearing VR glasses when they died.
It is marked above that these people were playing the same VR horror game when they died.
"So, they all died from playing games?"
Lin Mo muttered.
This was not just his guess, it was written in the file.
They said they suspected that there was something strange about the VR game and that it was directly related to the death of the deceased.
Lin Mo finished reading it.
He didn't understand why the director called him over.
"This case is very difficult," said the director.
Lin Mo said, yes, ordinary police officers cannot investigate such button cases, so they can hand it over to an expert group for joint investigation. There are so many people in the expert group of the General Administration, there is no need to look for him.
"I'm investigating the source of the dummies right now and I don't have the time." Lin Mo's meaning was very clear. I'm very busy and I'll ask someone else to do this kind of small matter.
The director shook his head.
Then he took out another file with a black cover from the table and handed it to me.
"This is confidential. After reading it, you are not allowed to disclose it to anyone."
Still confidential? Lin Mo quickly picked it up and read it.
He just likes to read confidential information.
As a result, Lin Mo's expression became serious.
"The expert group got involved in this case right away, but the result was that all our expert group members who participated in the investigation died."
The director looked heavy-hearted.
Lin Mo also looked at the confidential materials in his hand silently.
The introduction is above, which is much more detailed than what the director said.
Not only text, but also photos.
"Even the experts with a rating of B failed in this matter. Originally, we didn't need to bother you with this matter. We should have asked three special experts to solve it. But now the three special experts have more important things to deal with, so I can't do anything about it."
The director sighed.
Lin Mo could understand the director's difficulties.
Two of the experts who died in the line of duty were rated B, which means they were senior experts in the expert group.
However, at this stage, there are very few experts in the expert group who have reached A-level rating, and even A-level experts may not be able to solve this problem.
There may be losses.
Lin Mo remembered that his rating in the General Administration was 2B, which was just a little higher than B.
"Director, aren't you afraid that I will also die in the line of duty?" Lin Mo asked.
The director smiled bitterly: "I was afraid, so I didn't even think of looking for you at first. Isn't it that Lin Nan and Professor Xie strongly recommended you, and Crow said that your rating is already above A level."
Good job.
So that's what is happening.
Lin Nan is really nice.
Come to think of it, Lin Nan is a special expert, and the director will definitely take his recommendation seriously.
"Here, those who are capable get more work, but don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly. If you can handle this matter, I will apply to promote you to a special expert and enjoy the highest level of treatment in the General Administration. I am at the same level as you."
The director began to bribe.
It's obvious that the director is really out of ideas.
Lin Mo thought for a moment and asked again: "What about the origin of the mannequin..."
"You keep investigating. Two things are going on at the same time. Didn't I just say that here, those who are capable should do more work? You have to take on the responsibility."
The director started to act like a rogue.
But to be honest, the director has more things to do, and everyone in the General Administration is dealing with several things at the same time. Lin Mo thought about it and didn't say any more nonsense.
He took this matter.
"By the way, I'll assign you an assistant." After the director said that, he made a phone call and asked Xiao Song to come over.
After a while, someone knocked on the door.
A woman came in.
Lin Mo looked familiar.
Dressed like a queen, with a black suit, black stockings and black high heels, isn't this Song Qian, Doctor Song?
Lin Mo didn't like this woman, mainly because of their incompatible personalities. She was too pretentious and a bit conceited, which Lin Mo didn't like.
Lin Mo said, isn’t she a doctor?
"I am now also the head of the investigation department." Song Qian answered with a smile.
Coming out of the director's office, Song Qian followed behind. Lin Mo asked her to call all the investigators of the VR game death incident over because he wanted to hold a meeting.
Song Qian nodded and did it very efficiently.
No nonsense either.
Lin Mo felt that the other person now didn't seem as annoying as he had at the beginning.
"Just be obedient. What I hate most is those who don't know anything but still make random comments and cause trouble."
Lin Mo didn't know that Song Qian was different than before and was now his number one fan.
It's the kind of thing where the love now is as deep as the prejudice before.
Especially for those high-quality women who are conceited and a little arrogant, it is actually very simple to make them convinced, that is to crush them with strength.
After being crushed, she surrendered.
In fact, Lin Mo's reputation in the Security Bureau is already quite big. Recently, he single-handedly developed Xiyan City into a regional Daxing Security Zone. Not everyone has this ability.
Song Qian had a classmate who was in Xiyan City. She couldn’t contact him before and was very worried. Later, she got in touch with him and learned about the situation in Xiyan City.
That classmate's worship of Lin Mo was completely mindless.
Song Qian was also affected.
She didn't believe it at first, but after carefully investigating Lin Mo's past deeds, she turned from a hater to a fan.
It was she who took the initiative to ask to be Lin Mo's assistant this time.
"Team leader, everyone is here."
In a conference room, Song Qian introduced Lin Mo to the investigator responsible for investigating deaths in VR games.
There are not many people.
Including Song Qian, there were only six people, and except Song Qian, the other five were in low spirits, like eggplants hit by frost.
Very listless!
This is normal. So many experts involved in the investigation have died, and there has been no progress in the investigation. Anyone would feel depressed and doubt themselves and their life.
After introducing each other, Lin Mo asked them to talk about their latest investigation results.
Actually, there is not much to say.
Since the first dead body was discovered, there have been no other clues, and there is only one clue currently.
A VR horror game played by the dead.
"This game was launched on the VR store a month ago. The download volume was small, less than 200. We have since contacted the platform to urgently remove it from the store."
"We have contacted all the users who downloaded the game. Except for the 13 people who have died, the rest either did not start playing or gave up after playing for two minutes."
"The information of the game creator and uploader on the platform is all fake, and we can't find the specific person."
"Previously, several experts wanted to find clues from this VR game, but they all died suddenly during the game. Now the bureau has issued an order not to allow anyone to play this game anymore."
"These are all the clues for now!"
