He sat in front of the computer, connected to the Internet, and prepared to browse all kinds of information. His purpose of wandering online is only one: to find the next target. He believes that the supernatural power of the "Devil's Hand" is now invincible. As long as this name is used to intimidate, no company will be able to violate it, and everyone will obey. On one message board about stock trading, people are speculating that the purpose of the "devil hand" is to make a fortune in stocks.For example, after short selling the stock of a certain company, the "devil hand" spread the news that it had targeted the company.At that time, the stock price is bound to plummet, and the "devil's hand" will take the opportunity to absorb it, thereby obtaining huge profits.

"Devil's Hand" used to be used in this way, and he suddenly felt enlightened.He had never thought of using the "devil's hand" to make money. And he never will. All he was after was fame, something he should have had long ago.Now his biggest wish is to let the world see his true ability. Judging from the relevant reports so far, not only the police, but even the head of the government are bothered by the "devil's hand".How stupid!Those guys who only know how to use their brains on liberal arts all day long, how can they be my opponents of "Devil's Hand"?

Why not just threaten the country—an idea flashed through his mind.Cut the salaries of those politicians and officials in half, fire congressmen over the age of 60, and if you dare to disobey the instructions, you will use the "devil's hand" to bury a citizen every day.How about threatening them like this? A wry smile appeared on his face.That's delusional at all, and it's impossible for those guys to obey.Those politicians and officials have never taken the lives of citizens seriously. If you want to intimidate, it is better to choose a company.Once someone dies because they ignore a threatening letter, their corporate image will be irreparably damaged, and if the person who died is a customer or customer of the business, it will be even worse.

He stared straight at the computer screen while operating the mouse.Are there any businesses suitable for intimidation?The more aggressive the company is today, the more threatening it is. He looks up hot topics on the Internet, and the headlines of the major news are displayed on the screen. His eyes caught an article where the words "Devil's Hand" appeared.The title of the article is "Physicists claim 'demon hand' is nothing to fear".He immediately clicks to open the article. At present, intimidation incidents caused by an unidentified person who calls himself "Devil's Hand" continue.Concerts, performances and other entertainment activities were forced to be suspended, and a marathon competition a few days ago was also suddenly cancelled.It has been found out that the reason why Laughter Park in Tokyo closed down was also intimidated by the "devil's hand".The police seem helpless so far.The "hand of the devil" who can cause fatal accidents at will is all the more frightening because of his unknown identity.And can we just let it intimidate us in the future?The reporter interviewed Associate Professor Y of the Department of Physics at T University, who had assisted the Metropolitan Police Department in many suspicious cases before, but he received a surprising answer.

"It would be absurd to submit to intimidation. It has been learned from previous investigations that the Devil's Hand, although capable of causing an accident in a particular location, does not guarantee the death of a particular person in an accident. Although the murderer does make a statement on the crime The name of the victim was clearly written in the report, but it was obviously found out through news reports after the fact. In other words, the murderer actually killed the person without knowing who the other party was, rather than launching an intentional and unintentional murder. He can only kill indiscriminately. In this sense, the so-called "devil's hand" is no different from demolition maniacs and arsonists. There have also been demolition maniacs and arsonists attacking enterprises Cases of intimidation. The way to deal with these cases is to increase vigilance. It is for the above reasons that I say that it is absurd to submit to the intimidation of "the hand of the devil".

The "Devil's Hand" doesn't even have the power to attack specific individuals!In this way, in the previous crime notice, the real name of the victim was never mentioned, only the place and date were mentioned.Indeed, we need only treat The Devil's Hand as a normal demolitionist or pyromaniac. Finally, the reporter asked Associate Professor Y to infer what the so-called "devil's hand" is. “I think it’s just plain old technology. I think it’s the same as when you’re guarding against demolitionists and pyromaniacs. The most important thing is to be aware of suspicious things and suspicious people around you.”

So, it seems that the "Devil's Hand" is really nothing to fear. He clenched his fist and slammed it on the table, causing the computer on the table to bounce. The words "plain old technology" hurt his pride and fueled his raging rage. That being the case, I also want to give you some color to see.How can you just watch a bold lunatic who knows nothing about "Devil's Hand" utter such insulting words?What's more, if it's that man, then let him try his best. He stood up and paced the room with his hands folded.Not long after, he stopped pacing, walked to the bookshelf, and pulled out a paper from the shelf.

The title of the paper is "Research on Controlling Magnetic Field Distortion in Ultra-High Density Magnetic Recording." The scene of publishing this thesis on the rostrum revived in his mind as if it happened yesterday.Eyes mixed with expectations and doubts were constantly projected on the young researcher, while the big screen continuously displayed the research results that shocked those stiff-minded guys.He proceeded to explain these results with confidence, and his voice was full of momentum. The publication of the research results ended without incident.He was sure that he could win, that the way to a better future was opened at this moment.

Time for questions.He was bombarded with expected questions, routine questions, and inexplicable questions.He is not afraid or shaken, but is accurate, easy to understand, and sometimes even answers one by one with a sense of contempt. The voice of the host sounded: Do you have any questions? Just when he decided that everyone had been refuted to the point where they could no longer fight back, the back row raised a hand.It was an exceptionally slender arm. A man stood up.After reporting their name, the other party asked a question After listening to the other party's question, he felt a little embarrassed.That question was something he hadn't expected.The panic in his heart was reflected in his tone of voice, and his previous fluent responses had also turned into stuttering.Even he could feel that his answer did not satisfy the audience.

The man who asked the question did not continue to ask.And the other party's move hurt him further.Because he felt that the other party was treating him like a samurai, he let this immature young researcher go for now. Stepping off the pulpit, the sense of victory was gone.Just because of this problem, the half-opened door was closed tightly again. That was the moment, he thought. It was from that moment that everything started to go off track.When he realized that he was deviated a little bit from the previously laid track, he realized that he was heading in a completely different direction.But this road is a road that he himself has never expected.

Even so, he still worked tirelessly in pursuit of victory.He lives strong and firmly believes that one day he will shine brightly. However, this day never came, and he even lost Yuzhen, the last treasure. Not taking revenge is not a gentleman—— He sat down in front of the computer again, typed in "Emperor Capital University" and started searching.Check out the homepage of Teito University immediately.He clicks into the webpage to enter. After about twenty minutes, he got some information.While taking notes with one hand, he smiled silently. After knocking on the door, Kaoru pushed the door open without waiting for the other party to answer.She called in advance to confirm that Tang Chuan was in the house. Yu Chuan was sitting in front of the computer typing on the keyboard. "What do you mean by that?" Kaoru asked after his back, with a strong tone. Tang Chuan turned the chair, faced Xun and said, "I heard you were in a bad mood on the phone just now." "Why are you doing this?" "What's the matter?" "Stop pretending. Didn't you say before that you would not be interviewed? If so, how could there be such a report circulating on the Internet?" "Have you seen it too?" His leisurely tone offended Kaoru's nerves all over his body: "Of course I read it. Senior Kusanagi is also very annoyed. Let me come to you and ask what is going on." "I don't think you have the right to condemn me. After all, it was your fault that the media knew of my existence, and those interview requests flooded in. In desperation, I accepted an interview with one of them. Now you Why do you have to blame me?" "In this case, please tell us before accepting the interview. I have provided you with a lot of case-related materials for the teacher. If you disclose the results you deduced based on these materials without authorization, it will be a violation of the law." There are rules of the game." Tang Chuan seemed to be overwhelmed by Kaoru's aura, and Tang Chuan frowned slightly and fell silent. Kaoru sighed and asked, "What's going on? Why did you suddenly agree to be interviewed? Don't you hate interviews?" Tang Chuan smiled like a child who was caught playing a prank by an adult, then he returned to a serious look, looked at Kaoru and said, "This weekend, I hope you can go to a place with me." "Where?" "Our school's research institute is in Yeshan, and I'm going there to do an experiment to reproduce the "Devil's Hand"." Kaoru opened his eyes wide: "Have you finally figured out the truth about "Devil's Hand"?" "It can't be determined yet, so an experiment is needed." "Then shall I also call the people from the forensics department? Or should I call the people from the scientific research department?" But Yu Chuan shook his head and said: "It hasn't reached such a stage of mobilizing teachers and mobilizing people. For the time being, you can come here alone. I will explain to Kusanagi." There was a serious light in Yu Chuan's eyes, and it seemed that he was extremely confident in this hypothesis-based experiment. "Okay." Kaoru replied.
