1 Prologue - Are otakus so scary?

(The following content is not based on the real world. Please think of it as a similar parallel world. Except for the same cultural aspects, all others are different.)

At night, the cold moonlight shines on the ground.

In a hidden corner, you can see a lot of vague figures.

"Everyone must act cautiously. The target is high-IQ criminals. Don't give the other party any chance to escape!"

"Understood!"

After everyone arrived at the designated location, one after another small cylinders were thrown in from under the gate and through the cracks in the windows.

With a slight "bang", the cylinders exploded, and choking smoke instantly filled the entire building.

After calculating that the hypnotic gas had taken effect, the special forces wearing gas masks quickly kicked open the door and rushed in.

"Report, no target was found in the bedroom."

"Report, no target was found in the kitchen."

"Report, no target was found in the living room."

"Report, no secret passage was found in the room."

Hearing the series of bad news coming from the headset, Chang Yuan, who was originally happy, immediately turned gloomy, "Damn, why is this happening? Where are the intelligence officers? What are they doing? Why did no one report the disappearance of the target?"

"Don't blame them."

"Huh? Director, you?"

The hypnotic gas in the room had been dissipated. Hou Zhenyu walked to the bookshelf and took out a copy of "The Interpretation of Dreams" from the bookshelf. "If I am not mistaken, they are hypnotized."

On this bookshelf, on one side are various 2D character' figures, and on the other side are filled with a series of books related to psychology such as "Self and Id" and "Fantasy is Reality".

Hu Yue, on the side, couldn't help but widening her eyes upon hearing this, "Wait, didn't the initial report say that the other party was just a high-IQ otaku?"

"Do you think an otaku can play with our Jing Bureau around?" Hou Zhenyu sighed and shook his head, "Even if he's an otaku, he's an extremely dangerous otaku."

Chang Yuan nodded silently, 'Yeah, he is a serious otaku from those figurines on the bookshelf, however, there is also a lot of strange books there.'

Seeing the small photo frame on the table, all of the Jing Bureau's people nod their heads in grief and anger. 'They say that an otaku should usually a fat ugly ass person, but with such a handsome and bright face, you dare to call yourself otaku?'

'Traitor, ppui!'

Hu Yue was still confused, "But he was in direct conflict with the victim, and he was the first batch of people to be summoned by our Jing Bureau. Didn't the person who made the record at that time notice anything unusual?"

Hou Zhenyu closed the book and sighed again, "On one hand, he hides it really well and the description told by his teachers, classmates, friends, and family members were all surprisingly consistent. On the other hand, it's also because there are so many people who have a grudge against the victim's family, and compared to the others summoned at that time, he is indeed the least suspected."

Seeing everyone's solemn expressions, Chang Yuan tried to cheer everyone up, "Such a difficult opponent has not been exposed under the close investigation of our Jing Bureau's side. However, at least he has no way to escape now!"

All of the Jing Bureau's people showed a relaxed smile upon hearing this. 'That's right, no matter how tough the enemy is, as long as their identity is exposed, they will lose against. Did he really think that in modern society, he can still do whatever he wanted with his personal ability?'

However, Hou Zhenyu still showed an extremely serious expression, "You are wrong, our biggest trouble may have just begun!"

One of people on the side smiled and said, "Director, you are still playing with us at this time..."

At this time, a voice suddenly came from Hou Zhenyu's headset, "Director, it's not good, Zhang San was taken away!"

"How is it possible?" Hou Zhenyu's expression changed greatly, and then he quickly asked, "Then how is your situation now?"

The voice of the people on the phone sounded a little ashamed, "We were stunned by the hypnotic gas, and when we woke up, Zhang San was already gone. However, there were no casualties on our side for the time being."

Hearing that there were no casualties, Hou Zhenyu regained his composure, " He can't go far if he takes someone with him, and he must have planned in advance so that no one would find out, so his hiding place should be abandoned schools or abandoned factories nearby. However, pay attention to one thing, after finding the target, you must not provoke the other party!"

"Understood!"

Although the others around could not hear the call's content, they could guess a rough idea from Hou Zhenyu's words. At this moment, seeing the call has ended, everyone hurriedly asked, "Director, what happened?"

Hou Zhenyu shook his head and said, "You guys should know how the other party showed his traces, right?"

Chang Yuan rubbed his chin and said, "He went to the hospital to see a doctor today. Originally, I think we were just doing a routine check on his medical records after the incident. But this investigation revealed that he was already in the advanced stage of cancer! It is possible for a person to do anything under the pressure of death, so we put the focus of the investigation back on him, and connected some small details that were neglected in the past."

After speaking, Chang Yuan shook his head and said with a sigh, "Lin Yushan Cancer, a cancer so rare that it is named after him, no wonder he is so desperate."

Hou Zhenyu looked at him and asked, "Why do you think we only know about him today?"

Chang Yuan was taken aback, and suddenly reacted, "Hypnosis! He hypnotized those doctors, and make them inputted his disease as just a common disease into the system!"

"He doesn't hide it now, because he has only one person to kill!"

"Yes, Zhang San's entire family was killed, and now he is the only one left!"

On the side, Hu Yue was furious. "He obviously can kill Zhang San in a simpler way, but he wants to be exposed. Isn't this a declaring war to our Jing Bureau?"

Everyone else also felt humiliated, but Hou Zhenyu said, "I consulted to a lot of psychologists today. According to their analysis, the other party should be the kind of person who looks gentle and humble, but is extremely proud inside. "

"The reason why he took the initiative to expose his flaws is probably not to declare the war on us, but..." Hou Zhenyu breathes deeply and continued, "He wanted Zhang San to die in the most desperate situation!"

Chang Yuan was instinctively surprised, and subconsciously asked, "You mean, he deliberately wanted Zhang San to see the hope of being rescued, and then when Zhang San's hope reached the peak, he suddenly fell from heaven to hell!"

"But if he does this, he will definitely be arrested..." Hu Yue's voice suddenly got stuck in her throat, because she thought of Lin Yushan's cancer.

"Now, you all should understand why I said the biggest trouble has just begun, right?" Hou Zhenyu sighed.

"Madman, this guy is absolutely a lunatic!" Everyone felt a chill in their hearts, 'Such an enemy is really terrifying!'

...

In an abandoned factory.

"Let me go, let me go! I can give you money, a lot of money! "A stylishly dressed young man was tied to an iron seat, struggling and shouting loudly.

However, the young man on the other side turned a deaf ear, whistling lightly and pierced a syringe into Zhang San's arm under Zhang San's fearful gaze.

"What is this?" Zhang San asked nervously.

"Oh, this is a potion that can make you more sensitive." Lin Yushan replied with a smile.

"More sensitive?"

"This is a good thing. It can double the pleasure you get, of course, the pain is also the same! "Lin Yushan smiled and used a knife to cut a wound on Zhang San's arm.

The wound was not deep, but Zhang San screamed like a pig, and his eyes popping out like a dehydrated salted fish.

"Huh? You already screamed like that? I haven't sprinkled the salt yet." Lin Yushan smiled and took out a bag of salt and chili powder.

"Devil, you perverted devil!" Zhang San was so frightened that his snot bubbles floated out of his nose, and he kept moving his legs on the ground, trying to stay away from this demon.

It's a pity that the chair that was fixed by pouring steel is not something his small body can shake.

"Ah, aren't you happy when you are racing? I can guarantee that this is definitely 10,000 times more exciting than racing!" Lin Yushan has a devilish smile at the corner of his mouth.

"What are you going to do?" Zhang San's nose were full of snot, and he collapsed and shouted, "I have already paid you the money, what else do you want?" "

"Hmm?" Lin Yushan looked surprised, "That's really w strange eird. Isn't it you who asked those thugs to take the money back afterwards?" "

Zhang San's expression froze. In fact, he didn't take the compensation money to heart. He did so just because he was unhappy with the experience of being summoned to the Jing Bureau.

If he had known that he would be targeted by such a pervert, he would never let his subordinates teach him a lesson... No, he would never go racing.

Although he regrets it in his heart, Zhang San still insists and said viciously, "Just wait, my family will definitely kill you..."

"They're already blown up!"

"Huh?"

Seeing Zhang San's bewildered face, Lin Yushan kindly explained again, "They're all killed, and they died horribly!""

After finishing speaking, Lin Yushan took out his phone and showed him the photos.

Looking at the scorched black meat pieces on the photo, Zhang San became disgusted and threw up directly..

"Madman! You lunatic! "Zhang San screamed in fear, but more of it was regret.

If he could do it all over again, he would never provoke such a lunatic.

At this time, an alarm sounded.

"Oh? They're quite quick. "Lin Yushan looked outside the factory.

"The Jing Bureau, the Jing Bureau is here!" Zhang San was overjoyed. He has never looked forward to the arrival of Jing Bureau as much as he did today.

Outside.

"Director, we have triggered the alarm device 'accidentally' as you said, but can this really make the other party become careless?" One of the people asked in doubts.

"We've already lost a game before, and now we're in a hurry to get there, so it's logical to act impatient. "Hou Zhenyu muttered slightly.

After saying that, Hou Zhenyu asked through the headset, "How is it, do you have a suitable position for sniping?"

Soon, a voice came from the headset, "It's difficult. The target is in a blind spot in the factory. The only place to aim happens to be in a straight line with the hostage." "

"Sure enough, he is still not careless. "Hou Zhenyu muttered to himself, "Then go to the third floor and showed that our Jing Bureau is deliberately luring him. With that, other party will be vigilant about the flaws we deliberately left and at that time, we will make a breakthrough from the other directions."

Chang Yuan on the side asked subconsciously, "Then what if the other party is standing on the fourth floor?" "

Seeing the director staring at him, Chang Yuan laughed awkwardly and hurriedly asked, "Director, what do you mean by the other direction?"

The corner of Hou Zhenyu's mouth twitched a few times and he then said, "When he thought we were deliberately provoking him to reveal his flaws, we turned our target to Zhang San instead."

"Oh~" Chang Yuan said in a long voice, and then said "Understood. "

Taking a deep breath, Hou Zhenyu said with the loudspeaker in his hand, "Lin Yushan, stop it, you have nowhere to run now!" "

The same loud voice came from the factory, "Director Hou, this kind of remark does not fit with your style. You should know that it is impossible for me to stop!"

"I know you hate scum like Zhang San, but what's the difference between you now and a scum like him?"

Zhang San, who was looking forward to the outside help, was a little dumbfounded upon hearing this. 'Did he make a mistake? I'm a hostage! Why would he call me a scum!'

"As far as the law is concerned, killing is killing, even if the one killed is a scum. Of course, I will not hypocritically think that I am a good person when I do this kind of thing. This truth is, I understood when I took the first step. "

Everyone beside him frowned. The other party has a very clear understanding of what he is doing now. He doesn't believe what he is doing now is justice, and he doesn't have the idea of ​​whitewashing his sins like ordinary criminals.

The psychological defensive line of this kind of person is very difficult to break.

"No, I believe that your heart still yearns for the light. Otherwise, why are you drives the local people away before doing those bombings? "

"You think too much. I did this just to make the game more pure and..."

At this time, Hou Zhenyu yelled through the loudspeaker," Zhang San, bow your head! "

Zhang San, whose name was called, was startled and instinctively lowered his head. Then, Lin Yushan's forehead was exposed to the sniper's sight.

At this time... the sniper pulled the trigger without the slightest hesitation.

Bang!

Dragging the dazzling tail flame, the sniper bullet instantly shot into Lin Yushan's eyebrows.

With a thud, the blood plum blossomed, and Lin Yushan's body fell to the ground powerless.

Seeing this situation, all the people who were still waiting outside couldn't believe that the perverted murderer who played their Jing Bureau all over the place died like this.

Even Hou Zhenyu's expression changed for a while, with an extremely unreal feeling.

Zhang San was stunned for a moment, but was soon overwhelmed by the flood of joy.

"Hahahaha! Idiot, trash, loser, aren't you going to kill this young master? Aren't you dead in the end? Just wait, when I go back, I'll kill everyone who has anything to do with you..."

Hearing Zhang San's crazy talk inside, Hou Zhenyu showed gloomy expression, "Although that Lin Yushan It is indeed scoundrel, this guy is indeed a scumbag. For what he has done, ten times of shooting is still not enough. After returning, we will sort out his information. Contact other victims to initiate a lawsuit."

Hu Yue on the side nodded heavily and said, "Yes!"

Everyone showed a relieved smile. From the standpoint of their Jing Bureau, they must rescue the hostages, but from the standpoint of ordinary people, they are disgusted of even looking at that kind of scum.

"Then let's go in and 'save' him now!" Chang Yuan said while smiling maliciously.

At this moment, the voice belonging to Lin Yushan rang again.

"Hello everyone. "

Hearing this nightmarish voice, Zhang San's wild laughter froze on his face, and then he screamed out in extreme fear, "Ghost, there is a ghost! You devil, you will not let me go even after you become a ghost? "

As Zhang San was still screaming, the voice rang again.

"When this voice sounds, it means that I really have died. Zhang San, you should be very happy now right? Isn't it a good feeling to return to the world from hell? "

Hearing the voice said that Lin Yushan was indeed dead, Zhang San couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

But before he could relax completely, he heard the gentle voice suddenly turn cold. "So, how would it feel to fall from the world to hell again? Actually, I have a bomb inside my body..."

Hearing this, Hou Zhenyu's face changed greatly, "Everyone, withdraw immediately! Don't hesitate! I will bear the consequences! "

"...three minutes from when my heart stopped beating..."

At this time, many of the special forces had already entered the factory, ready to rescue the hostage. Three minutes was enough for them to save him, but after hearing the director's firm order, they had to withdraw immediately.

After all, they also didn't want to risk their lives to save a scum.

When he heard there was a bomb on Lin Yushan's body, Zhang San's body trembled, but now seeing these people throwing him away and withdrew, he became even more frightened, "I'm still here, take me with you. Are you not Jing Bureau? How can you leave the hostage and escape by yourself? You losers, did you not listen to this young master? "

As Zhang San was shouting furiously, Lin Yushan's voice continued, "Ah, I accidentally said too much nonsense just now, I don't know what time it is now, um... It's better to count down from five, four, three..."

"Wait, why did you say it's three minutes just now?" Zhang San screamed like a pig again, struggling violently.

"...Two, one, goodbye!"

"No!"

Along by a scream of despair and fear, explosion sound rang, the fire soared, and the surrounding ground trembled violently.

The flame has swallowed all the evil!

"Haah! We almost died!" Looking at the monstrous fire, all the people were afraid, but at the same time they couldn't help but look at Hou Zhenyu with grateful eyes.

"In order to let the other party die in despair and pain, he actually made his own death part of the plan." Chang Yuan looked at the flame with complicated eyes, "This is definitely the most terrifying enemy I have ever encountered!"

Everyone nodded in agreement as they felt that this kind of person is really terrifying!

Hu Yue looked towards Hou Zhenyu with some worry, "Director, although what happened later proved that you were right, but after all, we are not trying to save the hostage. If those unscrupulous media or the public know about it, you..."

"Our Jing Bureau is also human! If it's to save people, then there really shouldn't be too much consideration." Hou Zhenyu said decisively, "However, if it's just to save a scum, then I would never agree to exchange our people's lives for that kind of scum! As for those trashes who can only talk, come and find me face to face. "

"Director!" Everyone looked at him with moved expression.

"Okay, inform the fire brigade." Looking at the sky-high flames, Hou Zhenyu sighed, "It's a pity..."
