Are You Crazy? You’re Telling Me This Is a Fugitive TV Show?

“Whoa… seriously? They’ve already locked onto a crucial clue?”

“The ‘Death Factory’ game actually has tracking capabilities? Was the main purpose of creating this game to get the program officers to download it and then locate them?”

“Good heavens, they’ve just joined and already achieved such results?”

“This team seems specifically created to counter Big Brother perfectly. This… Now Big Brother might actually be in danger!”

“Wow, I always thought Big Brother was too strong, unbeatable. But now, in the blink of an eye, a team capable of countering Big Brother has appeared. Especially that Hong Jian from Nancheng Bank, he actually left a trap on the currency?”

All the viewers watching the livestream were visibly shocked by this development.

This was a team perfectly designed to counter Wang Yun. Most importantly, the traps in the ‘Death Factory’ game were discovered by the three members of the Red Hacker Alliance. Also, it turned out that the two million in currency carried traps.

Such a formidable and terrifying team, along with five chief inspectors made capturing Wang Yun feasible.

“Very good, haha, impressive, impressive! I didn’t expect you all to be so capable,” Kolyev laughed heartily, looking at his team members with a face full of joy. “Let’s first confirm whether Wang Yun and his team have human skin masks, and then proceed with the next steps. Apprentice, check the surveillance around that factory from yesterday, examine those materials, find out where and how Wang Yun and his team purchased them,”

“Yes,” Ames immediately nodded and responded enthusiastically.

“Let’s investigate together. The materials for the traps in the factory yesterday must have been personally selected by them. They couldn’t have had someone else purchase them on their behalf. If they bought them themselves, they would inevitably be caught on surveillance, and there’s no escaping that!”

“Let’s dive into the surveillance footage of the stores near the factory.”

The three members of the Red Hacker Alliance spoke up and immediately began their search.

“We’ll check the road surveillance,” Wu Mingyu instructed the room’s staff.

The team promptly commenced their examination.

After about fifteen minutes, a young member of the Red Hacker Alliance announced, “Found something. Yesterday, two people purchased a large amount of materials. Lock onto their figures, and analyze the proportions based on the surrounding environment. I’ve already sent the data to the screen up front. Take a look.”

Following this, the figures captured by the surveillance were projected onto a screen in the room. Beside them, data on two other figures was displayed, including height and approximate weight.

“The silhouette of that young man is very similar to Wang Yun, and the other one wearing a helmet closely matches the build of ‘Hu Sanqing’,” Wu Mingyu exclaimed, his eyes shining with excitement.

“In the vicinity of the factory, the only ones who bought a large quantity of materials that matched those used in the traps were those two. It must be Wang Yun and Hu Sanqing’, and they have disguise masks,” the young member of the Red Guest Alliance declared.

“Where did they get those disguise masks? Could it be that they already obtained them from that young driver the night before? How is that possible? That young driver has been under our surveillance the whole time,” Wu Yaoming expressed his confusion aloud.

“Not all of it was under our surveillance,” Ying Yuezi’s face showed a contemplative expression, “On the roads, many areas are not covered by our surveillance.”

“But, even though some roads are not under our surveillance, we calculated based on the van’s speed, and that young driver’s van didn’t show any significant speed change,” Wu Yaoming said, his brows immediately furrowing. “Could it be that Wang Yun had already considered this as well?”

“It’s possible. Knowing that we had locked onto the delivery driver, Wang Yun wouldn’t let us know that he obtained the materials for the disguise masks. Moreover, with the seven subordinates he’s recruited, he would only need about ten kilograms of disguise mask materials, which seems a bit less. We could send someone to investigate the city where the young driver bought the materials,” Wang Yue suggested.

“No need for that. If Wang Yun managed to get the disguise mask materials from the driver before you, then he definitely either rode or drove a car. Let’s hack into the mobile phones of all the car owners who were on the roads that night, within a certain timeframe, and check their dashcam recordings,” a member of the Red Hacker alliance proposed, immediately starting the search.

“That’s even better,” Ying Yuezi nodded in agreement.

As time ticked by, minute by minute, half an hour later, the confirmed news came in, “We found it. Two car owners were hijacked. They met the van on a road segment without surveillance, took some items from inside the van, and then the van sped off and continued its journey.”

“Indeed, Wang Yun is truly formidable. He started laying out his plans right on the night we attacked them.”

Upon hearing this result, Wang Yue’s face revealed an expression of astonishment, “However, we still need to check how much material for disguise masks the young driver purchased. This will help us determine how many disguise masks they still have in their possession.”

“Yes, we need to look into that. That Wang Yun is really something,” Kolyev nodded, also expressing his admiration, “This guy is quite a handful.”

“Should we issue a reward notice for those banknotes?” Hong Jian suggested.

“I suggest we hold off on issuing it today. Let’s understand all the information first,” Wu Mingyu responded, shaking his head and looking toward the other Captains. “Issuing a reward notice could greatly increase our chances of locating Wang Yun and his group, but it also has a downside. It could alert Wang Yun to our bounty, making him aware of the issues with the money and that they are about to be discovered.”

“Let’s issue it after we have all the information, maybe tomorrow,” Kolyev pondered for a moment and then nodded in agreement.

The other Captains nodded, concurring with the plan.

They all understood that once they issued the reward notice, a new round of confrontation would inevitably begin.

The morning passed quickly, and in the afternoon, the program task force received another piece of information. The young driver had purchased twenty kilograms of disguise mask material from another city. This meant that Wang Yun and his team still had ten disguise masks in their possession, with one of them already exposed by Wang Yun.

That meant there were nine left. Wang Yun and his subordinates needed seven, leaving two spares.

“We also need to consider that among these seven disguise masks, two come with legitimate identities, complete with identity cards,” Ying Yuezi pointed out, looking at the information in front of her in the program task force room.

“With identity cards, they can do a lot of things, including arranging accommodations for their subordinates, renting houses, or even villas without any problems,” Wang Yue nodded in agreement. “If we initiate the reward tomorrow, it should force Wang Yun to reveal one of his real identities.”

“We have gathered all the information we need. Let’s start the confrontation tomorrow!”

The chief inspectors’ eyes sparkled with determination as they clenched their fists slightly.

The night passed quickly once again.

“Issue the reward!”

The next morning, the five Captains and the rest of the members convened in the program task force room and issued the order. This was the second reward notice issued by the program team. However, this time, it involved currency. Any merchant who received a bill with a specific serial number could immediately call the program task force. Verification would lead to a reward of two hundred thousand.

This reward was practically free money.

“666! What a windfall for the merchants in Nancheng. Just report to the program task force if they get a bill from Big Brother and earn a neat two hundred thousand!”

“Wow, this is a high reward. These past few days, Big Brother and his team have been spending cash non-stop!”

“A new round of confrontation is about to begin, it’s starting!”

In the livestream, all the viewers saw the reward being issued and were abuzz with excitement. They knew a new round of confrontation was about to commence.

This time, with the arrival of new members and several Captains, a burning question lingered. Could they ‘take down’ or capture Big Brother Wang Yun? This had everyone in immense anticipation.

However, unlike before, many viewers no longer saw Wang Yun as invincible. This time, the task force had formed a team specifically designed to counter Wang Yun! The outcome of who would lose and who would win was now unpredictable.

***

“Hey, the Skynet Operation program has issued another reward notice. Just report a bill with a specific serial number to the task force and you could win two hundred thousand.”

“Two hundred thousand, wow. It seems Big Brother’s new identity might be exposed soon!”

Meanwhile, in a hotel breakfast room, Wang Yun sat eating his breakfast. Suddenly, the buzz of conversation around him caught his attention.

The content of a nearby discussion made him stiffen, a look of astonishment crossing his face. His expression changed rapidly as he immediately took out his phone to check some information.

This phone, purchased under his new identity, had some restrictions placed on it by the program team, blocking information from the task force. However, this reward notice was not within the blocked content since it was released to the public.

Wang Yun’s face turned grim as he read the reward notice from the program task force.

“The serial numbers of those bills were actually recorded, this Nancheng Bank…”

Looking at the information, his eyes filled with a cold hue. The situation with the currency had taken an unexpected turn, completely catching him off guard. He hadn’t considered this possibility at all. In the past two days, he had already spent quite a bit of that money.

Once this reward notice spread, his current appearance, as well as the faces of his subordinates, would be exposed. And he was using a face with a legitimate identity. This meant that this particular appearance of his would be revealed.

“This program inspection team really shouldn’t be underestimated,” Wang Yun mused.

He took out his laptop and immediately accessed a page to check the virus he had injected through the game. When he saw that the information on it had completely disappeared, his eyes narrowed sharply.

“The phone is either turned off, or the SIM card has been removed. The virus I added to the ‘Death Factory’ game is extremely covert and uncrackable. But how did they discover it?”

Wang Yun frowned slightly as he stared at the computer screen.

“There must be computer experts in the program task force, and not just one,” Wang Yun quickly concluded.

Knowing his own god-level hacking skills, which ranked him among the world’s top in computer technology, the fact that he was still discovered suggested only one possibility–the program inspection team had several world-class computer experts.

Only they could possibly contend with his level of expertise.

“The factory incident the day before yesterday must have prompted the addition of some new Captains and experts to the program task force,” Wang Yun deduced confidently.

And this increase was likely substantial.

“My crimes are already quite terrifying. If they were for real, what kind of weapons and what kind of people would be used to deal with me?” Wang Yun pondered, his mind racing with thoughts.

He knew that the efforts to arrest him would definitely escalate. If this was reality, the situation would likely involve the deployment of helicopters and even more elite personnel. But what specifically they would use was something Wang Yun could not determine just by thinking.

However, he needed to consider all these possibilities.

Moreover, soon, Brother Hu and their group’s faces would be exposed. This meant their disguise masks would lose their effectiveness.

“What should I do next?” Wang Yun muttered to himself, sitting there pondering. The situation was becoming tricky. He still had disguise masks and could change his own appearance, but what about Brother Hu and the other six?

He didn’t have enough disguise masks for all of them to switch. Should he instruct them to hide? To temporarily retreat?

Soon, a chilling determination appeared in Wang Yun’s eyes as he continued to mutter to himself, “If you strike first, you gain the advantage, if you strike later, you suffer. Since we’ve been discovered, we can’t stay this passive. If the program task force has brought in new experts, then let’s play a game with them.”
