On the paper was the string of passwords that Lin Chen had copied, and the oil stains of the ballpoint pen were blue, and they seemed to glow in the sun.

Wang Dynasty shuddered, he took a deep breath, clicked on the rudimentary pop-up window again, and entered the characters one by one at a slow pace.

At the end, the young man rarely looked solemn on the ground, and he moved the mouse to the position of the confirmation button, and reconfirmed to them: "Then I confirm it?" ”

The sun was shining outside the window, and everything was too peaceful.

The sentence Conglian glanced at the countdown, and there were 6 minutes left.

He nodded and set a countdown timer for his watch.

The click of a mouse tap sounded suddenly.

Dynasty turned the screen around and wanted them to watch it together, and at that moment, the refresh progress bar instantly rushed to the bottom, and the page rushed out in a waterfall of madness. Wang Chao couldn't care about them anymore, he quickly turned back to the screen, his expression abrupt, and his hands quickly tapped on the keyboard, processing the data.

Thinking of the scene that Fang had just glimpsed at the scene, the congregation and Lin Chen glanced at each other and got up together. They walked around the long table from each side and walked behind the dynasty.

Beyond the top of the young man's hair, they finally realized why they had the illusion of seeing a flood of beasts when they saw the web page just now.

It was a myriad of gold coins pouring down, like waves of the sea, surging, with an incomparably evil and crazy aura falling from the sky, constantly accumulating under the screen.

The sound of the gold coin falling from the sky loops in the journal reading room, which is eerie.

But to be precise, it's a stream of data that mimics a gold coin, like Tetris used to the oldest game consoles, with every pixel grain instantly reminiscent of the 90s. Not only that, but the coin waterfall is also made into a three-dimensional shape, with the shape of a Morbius ring or some kind of weird bizarre pattern rising and falling in the picture, making the solid screen seem to wriggle in space.

Xing Conglian finally understood what it meant to be old-school and special.

Wang Chao suddenly leaned back in his chair and stopped all the work he was doing, he slapped the desktop with both hands in resentment, turned off the volume of the computer suddenly, and shook his head at them: "Can't track." ”

5 minutes and 20 seconds.

At this moment, Lin Chen suddenly leaned over, tapped his finger at the bottom of the screen, and asked, "What is this?" ”

Xing Conglian squinted, only to see that all the gold coins that fell from the sky did not completely fall into the abyss, but became another form, like the rain on a stormy night falling into the black ocean, sinking and floating under the screen.

Wang Chao followed Lin Chen's instructions and moved the mouse pointer to the bottom of the screen.

The moment the white arrow touched the edge of the ocean, the "ocean" poured into the ocean, rolling the gold coins from the bottom to the top, spreading horizontally across the screen like a scroll.

The technical level of this site is obviously not as inferior as the pixel particles appear.

It was a map, familiar to them, a topographic map of the three provinces around Hongjing City.

"What the hell!"

Wang Dynasty almost wanted to put his face on the screen, he didn't even dare to touch the screen with the mouse anymore, but just swiped his hand across the waves on the map, "What is this, the gold coin map?" ”

Xing Conglian did not speak, but took out his mobile phone, called up the three-dimensional topographic map, and put it on the side of the laptop screen for comparison.

Raised mountain peaks, sunken rivers, urban ...... that have been reclaimed due to industrial modernization

The topographic map of the three provinces on the mobile phone topographic map is not consistent with the undulating waves on the computer screen, and even shows a completely opposite trend.

"What the hell?" Wang Chao muttered, "Are you playing special effects?" ”

Lin Chen's face was solemn, he pointed to several peaks in the waves, and said, "Is this a city?" ”

The criminal conglian shrunk and zoomed out the satellite images on his mobile phone, compared them back and forth, and then said: "Yes, Yongchuan, Hongjing, Fengchun, Meicun, Shifang ......"

With each name of the city, he clicked his finger on the screen to confirm, and his tone became more and more condensed.

All cities do not represent the cold terrain in geography, but also the living, people who live in that city.

Wang Chao took a breath and couldn't help but say, "Damn, are they all large and medium-sized cities around us, what do you mean?" ”

"I'm afraid they're putting a price on us." Lin Chen said.

They are referring to the crazy people on the dark web, and we are of course referring to ordinary people living in reality, and the first reaction was to look at the countdown on his watch.

There are 4 minutes and 40 seconds left.

"The list price? I don't understand. The dynasty will move the mouse pointer to a certain peak position of the "gold coin wave", click lightly, and sure enough, a small window pops up, but there is no prompt word, "Do I want to enter the amount here?" He asked.

The torturer leaned down, facing the sea of gold coins constantly surging on the computer, and didn't have time to solve the doubts for the dynasty, but asked: "Can you determine where the highest point is?" ”

Wang Chao's face was full of doubts, but he did not hesitate to copy the scroll on the screen and fit it onto a geographic satellite map.

The two images on the screen gradually overlapped, and all the wave peaks fit perfectly with each city center, and the highest peak undoubtedly appeared in the international metropolis - Yongchuan.

"Try throwing 1 bitcoin into the pop-up window."

After the torturer finished speaking, Lin Chen suddenly held him down. He quickly read the meaning from Lin Chen's gaze, which meant not to be impulsive.

He said: "It's just that I confirmed your speculation, and I wasn't stupid enough to make a lot of money behind the scenes." ”

Lin Chen simply let go of his hand, and he immediately patted the dynasty on the shoulder and let the dynasty begin.

The dynasty had never done such a thing, and he was nervous to enter the payment, like an old lady who was using electronic payment for the first time.

With four minutes left in the countdown, a tiny gold coin fell from the sky, like an inconspicuous droplet, to the "peak" he had clicked on earlier, because it was so small that it could not even stir up a ripple of the gold coin. But it does prove that the entire ocean of gold coins is clearly a huge □□, and on the dark web, there are countless people who are betting on the cities they "like".

When Xing Conglian thought of this, he saw that the peak of the wave representing the amount of bets was surging in Meicun City in an instant, and he didn't know which crazy player was spending a lot of money in Meicun City next to Yongchuan.

In a short period of time, the tide rose like a steep mountain peak, and the "sea level" of the surrounding towns centered on Meicun quickly climbed and surpassed Yongchuan in a few seconds.

Lin Chen's guess was indeed very accurate, but the punishment was not even a little happy.

But what they see is just a completely virtual betting image. And in fact, it means that there are hundreds of millions of real money invested in this crazy auction, ready to wash things with money and blood.

Wang Dynasty rarely gnawed on the thumb knuckle: "Damn, I really succeeded??" It's crazy that they treat the city as an auction item? Wang Dynasty was so nervous that he muttered, "Now that Meicun has the highest price tag, what will happen to Meicun City?" ”

"They're not looking at the city as an auction item, they're treating the lives of people in the city as a auction." Lin Chen said, "The one with the highest price wins, and whichever city has the most expensive life, they will harvest it." ”

"Harvest, with what?" The dynasty stared at them with wide eyes, and then realized that he had asked extremely stupid questions.

Maniacs, money, dark networks, and that kind of nervous drugs, there's no worse combination in the world.

The criminal conglian quickly dialed the phone number of the detention center: "Strictly guard Shen Lian, prohibit any visits, including police officers at all levels!" ”

After hanging up the phone, he immediately dialed the phone number of the Meicun City Bureau. And let the dynasty package and send a series of things such as dark web addresses, Internet tools, passwords, etc.

By the time all this was done, time was running out.

At the moment of zero, it was as if someone had applied a freezing effect to the wave of gold coins, and the surging waves solidified from one corner to the other, and the black color covered them, bringing a deathly silence.

Except, of course, the highest part of the waves, which symbolizes Umemura City.

The whole city of Meicun, including the surrounding townships and towns, was marked in red, and the criminal conglian roughly estimated that it was about 4,126 square kilometers of land.

No taunts or incitements appear, the sound stops, and a white slogan "inued" is diagonally displayed from the top left to the bottom right corner of the screen......

The last point of the ellipsis slowly emerges, and the picture comes to an abrupt end.

For a long time after this, the dynasty did not even dare to touch the keyboard with his hands.

It wasn't until Lin Chen moved that the young man picked up the breath he had forgotten, on the one hand, he felt that the sudden auction in front of him was too exciting, and on the other hand, he expressed strong dissatisfaction with the picture that said no in the end: "This is ...... And that's the end of it? ”

Lin Chen walked back to his place and sat in the sun, but Xing Conglian knew that the sunlight couldn't warm him up at all.

"Nope." Lin Chen only spit out a short syllable.

None of them knew that this could not be the end, it was not even the beginning.

A long time ago, this game, moral test, or even sociopath's apocalyptic carnival began.

What Lin Chen has experienced, they will also experience together.

The periodical reading room fell silent again.

The convict threw his phone on the table, and after he finished the call, the screen had not lit up again. Obviously, it will take a long time for the Meicun side to verify, report, and arrange, and no one knows what awaits that city.

"So what are we going to do now?" Wang Chao shook his legs, "Wait for something big to happen in Meicun?" ”

"If I'm going to implement some big plan, after the money owners have placed their bets, there must be a period of time to read the note, maybe ten minutes, it may be ten hours, because it's interesting to watch the police all over the city panic and do nothing." Lin Chen said.

"Me! Depend on! ”

When Wang Chao finished saying this, his own mobile phone rang wildly, and he picked up the phone, and it was the technician of the Meicun Network Department on the other end.

The cynical expression on the boy's face disappeared in an instant, and he grabbed his phone between his cheek and shoulder, and began to work and answer.

The crackling of keyboard taps and the words that the torturers couldn't even understand kept ringing, bringing with them many frantically regressive fragmentary memories, each fragment of the story seemed to fall apart, but it was like something could hold everything together.

He only asked Lin Chen one question: "What does he want?" 166 Reading Network
