Chapter 269, [Patriot]
In the afternoon, Brooklyn welcomed several guests.
Walter O'Brien's Scorpion team follows Agent Pitt into his office in Brooklyn.
The office in Brooklyn is not very large, and with so many people crowded at once, it immediately seems crowded.
ββ¦β¦ I don't understand, but he said that you are the only one in New York who meets the requirements. β
Pete stumbled and explained a lot, but Brooklyn still didn't understand, and finally he spread his hands and pointed to Walter behind him.
Walter held the computer and explained a lot fluently, Brooklyn still didn't understand the principle, but he understood, Walter was ready to launch a general attack on the [Patriot], but the hotel or FBI's network did not meet the requirements. yThe network that has just been set up meets the requirements.
Walter needs to rely on e.. Y's defense system to complete this general attack.
"It will affect e.. Y network? β
Brooklyn asked.
"Possibly." Walter pushed his glasses and said rigorously, "[Patriot] is an alliance composed of hacker elites, and their members, each of them is very strong. One-third of the people on the world's list of hackers are their people. β
"After my last experience at the NYPD, I'm pretty sure that I can only deal with 15 to 20 people at most, and if they find out before I break into their interior and react in time, I'm likely to be tipped out and won't have time to clean up the traces and be counterattacked by them."
"With this defensive system that I designed myself, I can defend against an attack of 30 people for more than ten minutes, but if they put more people in and use ......"
"Stop!" Seeing that Walter was about to start speaking technical words he didn't understand again, Brooklyn hurriedly called a halt.
He thought for a moment and said, "I can give you permission to use it, but you have to make sure that e.. y. β
"I don't want to be remembered by a technologically advanced hacker group." At this point, he looked at Pete, "You'd better catch them all at once." β
"I promise." Pitt nodded.
Brooklyn winked at Walter, "It's for your sake to help me build the system." β
With permission, Walter picked up the computer and went straight to the computer room with a few computer personnel recruited by Pete, while Pete stayed.
"Brooklyn, I need a warrant and a search warrant."
Pete said straight to the point.
"Don't worry, according to Walter, we've got an hour leftβ" Brooklyn glanced at his watch, "an hour and forty-seven minutes." β
"Tell me about this [Patriot]."
"[The Patriots] are a notorious hacking group." Pete organized the language and began to introduce "[Patriot] is more mysterious than other hacker groups. According to reliable sources, [Patriot] only recruits those on the list. β
"When [Patriot] attacks, they usually start with a video of the launch of a Patriot missile, and hang a federal flag full of gunsmoke on the target computer."
"According to the analysis, [Patriots] are defined as extremely patriotic groups."
"The [Patriots] have helped the Federation initiate many international incidents, but in recent years, with the changes in the political situation of the Federation, the [Patriots] have gradually become dissatisfied with the current situation of the Federation and have begun to constantly attack the Federation."
"So far, there have been a total of 197 suspected attacks in 37 states within the federal territory, which are suspected to have been committed by [Patriots]."
"But [the Patriots] have worked with the government, and not only do they know the government, but we don't know if they have their eyes in the government."
"Aren't you most fond of placing undercover agents for other organizations to conduct surveillance? Is there none in [Patriot]? Brooklyn asked in surprise.
Pete smiled wryly and shook his head.
"And we suspect that there are quite a few people who are secretly in contact with [the Patriots]."
Neil pulled up a picture and handed it to Brooklyn.
This is a map of the [Patriot] login screen.
Looking at the dazzling array of software inside, Brooklyn let out an exclamation.
"It's designed to be very convenient. Any form of buying and selling can be made here, customers can trade with customers, and customers can also trade with [Patriot] organizations. Neil commented
"[Patriot] also intimately helped the client solve the trouble of IRS investigation. Neither the buyer nor the seller is required to pay taxes when trading here. β
"Anything can be sold?" Brooklyn asked.
"Yes." Neil nodded, and his face became serious, "The most common is information and intelligence, then actions, and finally people. β
Brooklyn looked at Pete, "You'd better catch it all." β
If [Patriot] is just a hacker organization that controls computers or servers and carries out extortion, Brooklyn has nothing to worry about.
But [Patriot] is no longer just a hacking organization.
He's building himself into a platform!
Once successful, all of his users will be his fans, and then [Patriot] can swagger from behind the scenes to the front of the stage, from illegal to legitimate.
Three hours later, I received a notice from Vought.
Neil turned on his computer, and the first people had been marked.
Pete nodded at Brooklyn, turned around and waved his hand "go!" goοΌ β
Seeing off Pete and the others, Brooklyn called Anne.
Due to the presence of Mark Milai, the two are now a little awkward.
Anne was embarrassed that she had caused Brooklyn trouble that went beyond their relationship itself, and Brooklyn was more complicated.
If the law allows, Brooklyn would love to do something excessive to Mark Mee, and then something even more excessive to his daughter Anne.
Luckily, the law doesn't allow it.
After the phone rang for a while, it turned to voicemail and showed that no one answered.
The Brooklyn editor sent a text message and put down his phone.
It's a strange feeling to help someone for the first time without counting the gains and losses.
On the way home from work in the afternoon, Brooklyn flipped through Anne Aldington's social accounts.
The news of her suspension has spread, and there is a miasma of smoke under the account.
gloating, mocking her for being unlucky, arguing with the people who surrounded her, bursting into an unprecedented hot scene.
was looking at it, and with a ding, the system showed that Anne had updated her dynamics.
[Just got back from the lab, guess what I got?] γ
Less than a minute after the news was posted, dozens of comments were swiped below.
Brooklyn was lamenting that there were so many boring people in the world, staring at other people's social accounts, and as soon as the phone screen turned, Anne called.
"Judge Brooklyn, I need your help."
Anne Aldington said straight to the point.
"Regulus gave me a box of coffee beans, which I soaked in a large m, and I smuggled a little out of his office, and after a laboratory test, it was found that it was also soaked in a large m."
"When?" Brooklyn asked.
"17 hours ago."
"How can you help you?" Brooklyn rubbed his forehead, "Search warrant?" β
"I am a party involved in the incident, and the eucalyptus is not in my hands, and the way to obtain this coffee bean in my hand is illegal. It cannot appear in court. β
"I need it to be legal."
Also became legitimate, thinking I was a magician or a wishing tree?
Brooklyn sneered, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm sorry, Annie, I can't help you." β
"You can immediately submit your application to the Supreme Court, which will issue an order to cordon off Regulus' office and prevent him from processing the evidence." Brooklyn Road.
After thinking about it, Brooklyn decided to tell Anne about the change in the nature of the matter.
Even without him, there would have been other judges who would have agreed to make a deal with Mark Milla, whoever it was, and the nature of the matter had changed since Mark Millaine intervened.
It went from a friction between the two groups, such as prosecutors challenging the authority of judges, to a personal vendetta between prosecutor Anne Aldington who believed that Regulus had acted favoritistically in the exercise of his powers.
"Brooklyn, I'm sorry." After listening to Brooklyn's explanation, Anne was silent for a while, and said apologetically, "I shouldn't have been involved in you." I'm really sorry. β
Brooklyn doesn't care much about that.
After talking to Anne, Brooklyn confirmed her attitude towards Mark Milley and made sure that she could pretty much take care of the rest herself. Brooklyn, for its part, will need to contend with the wrath that Mark Meeley might erupt.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
The next day, early in the morning, Brooklyn met Pete, who had been waiting for him, and Neil, who had been following him for thousands of years.
Neil was still the same, winking at Brooklyn but not speaking.
Pete had come to thank Brooklyn.
Brooklyn gave them the green light all the way to yesterday's operation, saving them a lot of time.
Despite the lack of judges' constraints, yesterday's actions did not turn out to be satisfactory.
According to Pete, the people who killed Rambiza Yoon and Kim Jae-jong were successfully caught, but none of the [patriots] behind them were caught.
The information provided by Walter was very accurate, he had tried his best to track and intercept it, and delayed time for the action team, but the [Patriots] had already been prepared, and they still escaped.
However, the action team found a lot of cigarette butts and other items in Wauth's room, and they have been sent for testing, hoping to extract DNA from them and determine the identity of the [Patriot] members.
In addition, after last night's surprise interrogation, Pete also got a not-so-good news.
"According to the suspects, they received an email from abroad, and the email contained a string of invitation codes, and after opening the email, they could log in to the [Patriot] network once, register an account, and create a role."
"Build a character?" Brooklyn was stunned.
"[Patriot] has developed a game in which invited players will participate as game characters, and the system will issue tasks, and players will take the tasks and complete them." Neil explained
"According to the suspect's confession, the missions are varied, including assassination, tracking, photographing, poisoning, stealing intelligence, investigation, theft, ......"
"Players will receive rewards after completing the task and submitting it to the designated location, waiting for the system to verify it."
"What reward?" Brooklyn couldn't help but ask.
"Equipment and level experience." Neil said with a bad face, "Or the title." β
"In the New York Harbor Killer Eucalyptus, the body armor, camouflage uniform, helmet and combat boots worn by the murderer are equipment, as well as goggles, daggers and other knives, firearms, and even grenades."
"The firearms issued by the system will come with a gun license, the kind that can be found in the firearms association."
"In addition to equipment, there will also be rewards for transportation, from small subway packages, bicycles, large cars, helicopters, and even cruise ships."
"In addition to this, there are bonuses, invitations, dresses, banquets, houses and so on."
"The game requires players to only use system-issued equipment to complete missions during the game. Each player will be issued a pair of glasses, which will be monitored in real time. β
"Players will be punished for using non-system items, and players will be deactivated if they are arrested or leak [Patriot] information."
"Write off means ......"
"Kill the player." Pete said with an ugly face, "The player we arrested was poisoned after being interrogated and is currently being resuscitated in the hospital. Even if they are out of danger, they cannot provide information. β
"The poison in the player is a neurotoxin that paralyzes the central nervous system, destroys the language system, and constantly invades the brain, causing brain death."
Neil said.
In other words, Pete and they have been busy for so long, and it is empty again!
Brooklyn's face was a little ugly.
He thought of it more.
If that's what Pete suggests, it's more than just a game.
It can offer a lot to politicians, using players for various purposes. I'm afraid that the so-called system tasks are only the needs of the real customers of [Patriot], and these players are just pawns recruited by [Patriot].
It's a lot scarier than any KB organization.
The KB organization only wants to achieve its goals through destruction, and the [Patriots] are organized and disciplined to achieve their goals.
I'm afraid that [Patriots] are not a nascent organization at all, but a huge organization that has taken root within the Federation.
"After the last New York Harbor Killer incident, Walter and them, Neal and I, and the BUA, have all been threatened to varying degrees." Pete said: "This time Walter is through E. y's network launched an attack, you guys should pay attention to security. β
"How do you stay safe?"
Brooklyn asked.
Pete was silent and did not speak.
Brooklyn didn't go any further.
He knew he was angry with Pete.
Help them and put e.. Y authorizes Walter to use the network, and it is a decision he makes, and he has to bear the consequences.
Can e.. Y is a courthouse, not a private courtyard of anyone's house, where so many people come in and out every day, he can't effectively prevent it.
Moreover, the [Patriot] is hidden in the shadows, but the court is in the open, and he can only passively wait for the [Patriots] to come to the door.
Looks like he's going to need to consider Mark Miael's proposal.
Even if we don't work with Mark Mee, it is imperative to expand our security forces.
It is undeniable that trained soldiers do give people a greater sense of security than ordinary people.
"Thank you. I know. β
Brooklyn solemnly thanked Pete.
"I'm sorry." Pete said apologetically.
