Chapter 814: Chapter 812: Surfing the Internet
Car bomb.
This is a common trope in movies, yet the spectators still gazed at their night sky until that burning trajectory crossed their line of sight, directly plunging into the river, and the film crew hurried to the scene as if waking from a dream, only then realizing that the explosion was not a special effect.
Someone had planted a bomb on Su Li’s hovercar!
At this moment, under the river, a figure was gasping for air, clutching his chest.
He heard the wreckage of the hovercar fall into the river, splashing water onto his clothes and shoes.
"Congratulations, you’ve killed Su Li, a three-star rescuer."
The earpiece transmitted a processed synthetic voice, "Your journey has just begun, now go check the site and capture the moment of his death before others arrive."
Further instructions were issued.
Suddenly, the communication was cut off.
The gasping figure then came back to his senses, hesitantly looking up towards the river, knowing it wouldn’t be long before people arrived at the scene, leaving him little time.
He took out his phone and turned on the camera function.
Now, all he needed was to capture the scene inside the hovercar wreckage that had turned into a conversation, and a six-figure deposit would be transferred to his account, much more than what he earned from his grueling acting work—extras’ fees were barely enough to make ends meet, while the bulk of the pay always went to the stars.
Thinking about the unfair treatment he received in District Four, the figure gritted his teeth and kicked the twisted car door aside.
However, the next moment, he froze in place.
The scene inside the hovercar wreckage was beyond his expectations, Su Li’s body was covered with cracked wounds, almost no intact skin to be found; by all logic, he should have been dead, but Su Li in the car was looking back at him with his eyes open.
Not just one eye!
Squirming flesh buds emerged from the holes in Su Li’s face, with eyes at their tips spying on him.
What on earth was this thing!?
Suddenly, the phone screen was grasped in a hand.
Su Li moved so fast he couldn’t be captured by the naked eye, and before the figure could even scream, the squirming flesh buds from Su Li’s arms burrowed into his body.
...
"Breaking! Tonight, an explosion occurred on Star Boulevard, three-star rescuer Su Li severely injured!"
Song Lan saw this news alert on his phone.
According to the prosthetic hospital’s findings, Su Li had to lie in bed for at least a week, although that was a devourer’s estimation based on a physically transformed three-star rescuer; in reality, the wounds created by the explosion had mostly healed by the time he crawled out of the hovercar’s rubble.
Hospitalization was merely to make Su Li appear more human, especially since he had experienced a car bombing in full public view.
The attacker was an extra from the film crew, who had played villains in many superhero-themed movies from Kolo Film Industry, making him a quite experienced character actor.
The motive was just to post the death photo of Su Li online to receive a six-figure transaction.
All this information originated from the attacker’s memory, and it was absolutely true and reliable.
And now, the Devourer had also led this attacker to follow in the footsteps of the cleaners, retiring to his home town.
Before the emergency personnel arrived at the scene, Su Li had cleanly handled the site and then collapsed by the riverbank, pretending to be at death’s door.
After being taken to the hospital, he was surrounded by his agent and the professional medical team from Kolo Film Industry, and it was impossible for him to meet Song Lan for the time being.
However, they had unearthed a website from the Devourer’s brain.
The background of the website featured a skull engulfed in dark green flames, which Su Li said was a totem created by the followers of Chai Ke in the "Enthusiastic Citizen" movie series, symbolizing resistance and revenge.
Song Lan sat alone in the villa’s guest room late at night, feeling a chilling sensation as he watched.
This was just like those bizarre and bloody websites on the dark web, filled with content harmful to mental health, including a section specifically for posting "posthumous photos."
Most of them were actors Song Lan had never heard of, and their identities, much like Grella, were not famous, and their deaths went unnoticed by anyone other than their friends and relatives.
The methods of their deaths were endlessly varied.
When killing them, the attackers fully displayed their creativity and had taken their final photographs to post online.
Su Li, along with some names of new rescuers, appeared in the reward area—anyone who captured a photo of Su Li’s death would receive a reward of 637249 watts, and after the evening news was released, the reward amount continued to climb at a visibly fast rate.
In the "posthumous photos" display area, Song Lan saw a familiar face.
Mikaela.
The location was the villa’s bathroom.
Her face was contorted in horror, a sharp dagger had pierced her throat, and blood had splattered onto the lens, giving the photo a blurred silhouette.
This photo was the strongest evidence that someone had entered Mikaela’s home, killed her, and staged the scene as a suicide.
Since the "posthumous photo" section was free to access, Song Lan downloaded the photo, which could serve as evidence, to his phone without any reservations.
Gradually, Song Lan noticed a commonality between the deceased and the subjects of the rewards.
They were either rescuers, their agents, or company executives; almost every popular rescuer was listed there, each with a reward posted, although most were only a few thousand watts. Song Lan didn’t know what Su Li usually did to have a six-figure bounty placed on him.
He asked the Devourer to convey this news to Su Li, suggesting he use the ten days of recovery to reflect on his actions.
Then, Song Lan reported this website to the dedicated web administrator Bai Zhu.
Within less than a minute, he noticed changes on the website.
The terrifying skull totem was replaced with a cute cartoon cat, the "posthumous photos" photos and videos were withdrawn, replaced by soothing images and cartoons.
The notices in the reward area were replaced with promotional brochures from the United Government Law Enforcers department, along with various legal statutes, intended to help viewers update their knowledge of the law while surfing the web, broadening their perspectives.
Seeing these changes, Song Lan felt much better, and his heart, previously wounded by various bizarre "posthumous photos," was healed by the cartoon cats on the website.
He didn’t know who had established the website, but clearly, what was now displayed was the content people should be browsing on the internet.
