Chapter 186: Uninvited Guests
e stunned, but luckily the host reacted quickly. Picking up the microphone, he addressed the audience below: “Dear teachers and students, Principal Liu just made a joke to ease everyone's anxiety whil...He Shuangshuang shook her head: "I couldn't find anything. They were mercenaries working on a black market task, and they only care about the money. They don't know who their employers are."
Ye Bufan was slightly taken aback and asked, "What's the situation with the Dark Web"
He Shuangshuang said: "The dark web is a website for underground world transactions. Here, you can pay to post tasks, or you can take on tasks posted by others."
Here, there are no rules to speak of, the only currency is money. If you have enough, you can get anyone to do anything for you, including murder and arson.
"Just now, the cobra made it clear. They took on a bounty hunt through the darknet."
Ye Bufan frowned: "How credible do you think he is"
"I think it's entirely believable," He Shuangshuang said. "The Cobra mercenary group has always been active in Southeast Asia, answerable to no one, simply doing what they are paid to do."
Actually, they are no different from assassins. They both take money to do things, except that one is a group of people rather than an individual.
Ye Bufan said with some reluctance, "Then how did the other party pay them Can we find out the identity of the other party through the transfer path"
"That's impossible too," He Shuangshuang said. "We also investigated a case related to the dark web before, and we have a pretty good understanding of this website."
Whoever posts a task on the dark web first has to deposit money into a specific account on the site. This process doesn't require any personal information, just the payment itself, and the website is completely anonymous.
If the deadline is reached, the task is considered successful, and the Dark Web will directly transfer the money to the executor and take a 20% commission.
If the task fails, the dark web will refund the money in full to the previous customer.
"That's quite a hassle, isn't it" Ye Bufan said. "Those who trade on the dark web aren't afraid that the website will swindle their money"
He Shuangshuang said: "The dark web is the organization of the underworld. There are no rules at all. Even if he swallows up all the clients' money, there are no restrictions."
But in fact, the dark web won't do that. The commission they earn every year is astronomical; it's impossible for them to self-destruct, at least there hasn't been any case of them embezzling client funds discovered so far.
Ye Bufan thought for a moment and said, "Do the police have other options, such as using special means to infiltrate their website"
"Don't even think about it, the Dark Web's power is beyond your imagination," He Shuangshuang said, "Once, the CIA offered a $100 million reward for 10 top hackers to cooperate with national forces and launch an attack on the Dark Web's servers."
But they worked hard for half a month, but not only did they fail to break through the other party's server, they didn't even have any impact. During this time, the dark web continued to operate normally.
This attack not only failed to take down the dark web, but instead made a loud advertisement for it in the underworld. Since then, people have come to trust the dark web even more.
Ye Bufan said: "If this mission fails, will the other party continue to post missions and hire other mercenary groups to attack ChuChu"
This is the point that matters most to him. If he keeps being attacked by these mercenary groups, it's absolutely dangerous.
He Shuangshuang said, "That's hard to say. It depends on whether the other party continues to post tasks. I just took a look at the dark web, and there aren't any such tasks posted yet."
Then we can only wait and see.
Even though Ye Bufan disliked this feeling, he had no other choice. He said, “Give me the address of the dark web, and I'll take a look when I have time.”
"Sure, I'll send it to you on my phone in a bit. But the Dark Web isn't something just anyone can access. You need to register first, and after that, you have to pay an annual membership fee of 1 million Chinese Yuan."
"Oh!"
Ye Bufan immediately understood. It was no wonder the Dark Net was so powerful, able to rival forces like theirs. Just the annual membership registration fee was astronomical, enough for them to do anything.
He left the criminal police squad. It was already two in the morning, and at this time, he naturally wasn't suitable to go back to Zui Jiangnan Restaurant. He drove alone towards Yun Ding Shan Villa.
At midnight, everything was quiet in the darkness. There were few cars and pedestrians on the road. He soon arrived at the YunDingShan Villa and drove towards the mountaintop.
He had just walked halfway when he suddenly saw a figure far away sprinting towards the mountaintop, with two others chasing after.
They were all dressed in black, clearly the attire of a nightwalker.
The speed of the three people was extremely fast, at least reaching the peak of the Yellow Rank or the early stage of the Xuan Rank.
Ye Bufan was slightly taken aback, glancing in the direction of the few people. They were all heading towards his villa number one.
Just experienced the Cobra mercenary incident, could these people be after me
Thinking about this, he parked his Pagani on a patch of green beside the road, got out of the car, and used his light-body technique to quietly make his way towards the mountaintop.
Although it was night, his eyesight was excellent, and he trailed far behind the three people.
After walking for a while, he realized that something was wrong. The person at the front seemed to be fleeing for his life, and the two people behind him were chasing him.
That is to say, the three people are not a gang, but in the chase and escape, their direction remains his No. 1 villa.
Soon, the first man in black scaled the wall and entered the courtyard of his house.
Just then, two more people rushed towards them, and the four of them completed a siege in the courtyard.
Ye Bufan also followed closely into the courtyard, but he didn't immediately stand up. Instead, he found a dark place to hide.
These people's identities are unknown. Let's gather more information first.
After hiding himself, he looked at the uninvited guests in the yard. The one in the center wearing a black suit had a mask covering his face, making it impossible to see his features.
However, from her well-defined figure, it can be seen that she is a woman.
But the other four men in black surrounding her looked rather odd. These men had no masks on their faces, and their heads were completely bald.
Unlike other bald people, these four have truly smooth heads. I mean, there isn't even a single pore.
And his eyes were glowing with an eerie red light, making him look strange and menacing, like a venomous viper waiting to strike.
After the encirclement was complete, the black-clad man at the front said: " Sima Wei, this time I see where you run to"
The woman called Sima Wei's was shouted: "At worst, we die together. Do you really think I'm afraid of you monsters"
The moment she spoke, Ye Bufan was taken aback. Her voice was rougher than a man's. Was it intentionally disguised or just her natural voice
He even suspected he had misread the other person's gender, but after careful scrutiny, it was indeed a woman.
The man in black said, "What are you putting on You have the nerve to talk to us You're not a man or a woman, and you're just as much of a monster."
"You bastards, who's coming first to die"
The man in black said, “Black Mamba, you go first!”
"Yes!"
A dark-skinned man in black stepped forward and charged.
These people looked very coordinated, the other three immediately formed a triangle, surrounding Sima Wei in the center, as if afraid she would run away.a displeased expression."It's common for powerful families to clash. What's so strange about that""But Grandpa, didn't you just tell me a few days ago to go and make nice with the Chief Instructor Why...
