The world is too big to produce many people, and legends may not always be born in people's sight.

The creator of the "machine" is a legend hidden from the public eye, relying on a genius mind, superhuman ability and a little inspiration, coupled with a lot of resources invested by the US federal government, he has succeeded in creating a "machine" that can listen to the citizens of the whole country.

The "machine" was born with various shortcomings, but after many improvements, it has been able to help government employees engaged in counter-terrorism work to disrupt terrorist plots and prevent terrorist attacks from occurring in time.

Since the advent of the "machine", there have been almost no terrorist attacks in the United States.

To be precise, there was only one case: In November 2009, Major Hassan, a U.S. military psychologist, opened fire on the Fort Hood military base, killing 13 people and wounding more than 30. Since then, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates has learned of the existence of the "machine" and agreed to open all military databases to the "machine".

Since then, terrorist attacks have become an increasingly distant and abstract term for the citizens of the United States. No one can forget what happened 10 years ago, but no one can deny the fact that every terrorist attack on the US federal territory was prevented in advance.

The government attributes this to the excellent work of the anti-terrorism department, but the real heroes have long since faded their halo and gone incognito, using sophisticated hacking skills to erase all the world's data files related to themselves and erase every trace of their existence.

There are only two paper files related to him, sealed in the CIA's most secret archives, which require A4 or higher security clearance to view.

If this legend had disappeared or flown away, perhaps the US federal government would not have had a chance to find him again, but he did not leave, he could not let go of his children, nor the people who were suffering.

There are two things that the U.S. federal government does not know: first, the "machine" is not a complete artificial intelligence, and it will take a long time to perfect itself; Second, the creators of the "machine" left a back door, and the social security numbers identified by the "machine" are divided into two types: one is the relevant number, all of which are the planners and intended perpetrators of terrorist activities, and this kind of number will be transmitted directly to the national security services for them to solve, and the other is an unrelated number, which is a victim who has nothing to do with terrorist activities. When an irrelevant number appears, it is passed out through a special channel.

Mr. Legend knew that the government would rather sit back and watch citizens die in murder than expose the fact that he violated the privacy of citizens, and he respected the government's decision, but he could not bear to sit back and watch those poor people lose their lives because of his inaction, so he made a great and stupid decision: he hired some absolutely reliable people to serve him, and when an unrelated number appeared, they would investigate the owner of the number, and if it was a victim, they would protect it, if it was the perpetrator, They will stop and sanction it.

Everyone who does this work has superb investigative skills and combat ability, and even a small number of them were originally agents of government departments, so no matter how to erase the traces afterwards and expose themselves, it is only a matter of time, despite this, Mr. Legend has no regrets and pays silently, because he has a kind heart.

"It's stupid."

After listening to this bizarre story, Xu Le couldn't help grinning, showing a rare smile, he was amused by this fairy tale.

"It's kind of funny, isn't it?" John tried to pull the corners of his mouth to reveal a cool sneer, but the thrilling drag race just now seemed to have moved all his internal organs to a second place, and the physical discomfort made it difficult for him to control the expression on his face.

Xu Le uses superpowers to drag racing, and even if Schumacher is in person, he can only follow behind his ass and eat dust, which is beyond his reach. If the encirclement and interception just now was a racing game, Xu Le was undoubtedly an open-hook player assisted by a cheat, and he broke out of the blockade line. Later, in the process of abandoning the car, changing the car, and throwing off the track, Xu Le heard this bizarre story.

"It's so funny. Do you know what the Chinese government would do if they had mastered this technology? They will use it without restrictions, with a large number of people at their disposal, to stop every crime. Xu Le glanced at John, unconcealing the disdain in his heart, "What's the point of making a fuss like yours?" How many crimes occur every day in the U.S. federal government? How many people can be saved by just a few of you? ”

John clutched his chest and remained silent, Xu Le could see the wavering in his eyes, he must have thought about this more than once.

"What you say sounds like a ridiculous lie, and the only reason I want to listen to it is that I wonder why you arrived at Raphael Square so early yesterday to get it done?" Xu Le had already made a decision when he asked the question, and if he couldn't ask for any more valid information, he would leave immediately, no longer wasting time, and he had to shut up this handsome uncle forever so as not to reveal his whereabouts.

John didn't answer the rhetorical question: "What is the time between when I shoot and when the combat team approaches your vehicle?" ”

Xu Le was stunned, and after recalling for a moment, he gave the answer: "Less than two minutes." ”

"Even if there is a sniper observation team with 360-degree all-round coverage near the White House, will they be able to find you in such a short time?" John asked.

"I remember that the U.S. federal has very advanced sonar positioning technology, which came in handy in the Afghan war, and can quickly locate the source of gunfire, and the U.S. military used this technology against gu......errillas at that time," Xu Le didn't continue, and he remembered that he hadn't fired a single shot from beginning to end.

"First of all, in a noisy environment, the positioning device is not accurate to this extent, at least not yet, and secondly, I fired that shot, so why is your car surrounded?"

"Because they already know what I'm driving and what I'm going to do." Xu Le muttered, "Just like you, you already know, why? ”

"Isn't the answer obvious?" The machine passed your number to the Department of Homeland Security, the CIA, and us at the same time. ”

"I ...... I don't quite understand. Xu Le had to admit that his brain was really not enough.

"On the one hand, shooting Sean Conrad is a terrorist attack, so you and Sean Conrad will be the relevant number, and on the other hand, you will cause the death or injury of other innocent civilians in the process of escaping, so you will be the unrelated number."

"Like in a restaurant?" Xu Le remembered what John said in the restaurant: And, they are also in danger because of you.

"Yes, if we hadn't left in time just now, twenty unrelated numbers in the restaurant would have died because of you." John regained the upper hand in the conversation and put on a cynical smile again,

"So, you rushed to Raphael Square early yesterday and deliberately missed that shot to stop me and avoid any casualties?" Xu Le began to believe in this legendary story, but at the same time he still felt incredulous, "Why didn't you stop me in advance?" Like stopping my car halfway? ”

"Because the investigation takes time, the 'machine' only provides the social security number, through your social security number to find your driver's license, and your rented vehicle, and then through a wide range of searches to locate the location of the vehicle, these all take time, we only know that you are going to assassinate Sean Conrad, but we don't know when and where you are going to start, and it is too late to sort out the clue and then prepare. And I, I've been standing near Sean Conrad, offering protection. "Look, that's why we always like old cars, and if you're renting a high-spec luxury car, it only takes a few minutes for the CIA to get the number to allow the automakers and suppliers to locate your exact location — except, of course, the Mercedes." ”

Xu Le was stunned and stunned for a moment, then his eyes showed fanaticism, he reached out and grabbed John's collar, and shouted, "I understand!" You are righteous partners! Let me join you! ”
