World: "Transmigrating, I Am the City Light!"
Crossover Mode: Random Replacement, Complete Replacement!
Seal: Completely sealed...
Halo: None
(This is a fictional world, primarily based on the novel's timeline!)
Outside the courthouse, Ling Yi ate a hamburger while watching the chaotic crowd.
" Qi Yuan, if you encounter the same situation again, will you still do the same thing?"
The reporter asked the girl in the school uniform.
The girl's expression was blank as she said indifferently, "No more!"
After saying that, the girl turned and left.
At that moment, a man with slicked-back hair and a gray suit walked out of the courthouse, and the reporters surrounded him again.
"Attorney Ren Chuan, aren't you afraid of wrongly accusing an innocent person?"
The lawyer, named Ren Chuan, straightened his hair and said Taunt, "A good person? Are there any good people left in this world who would stand up for what's right?"
After hearing this person's words, Ling Yi gave a disdainful sneer and turned to leave.
This is a fictional world, a fictional world set against the backdrop of a film.
Based on the name of this world, Ling Yi could basically guess that the Protagonist was a Soul Transmigration, and most likely, his Soul Transmigration into Jiang Ya's body.
That's the same person who calls himself the City Light, using the name of justice to abuse his power as a psychopath.
City Light? What does this light illuminate? It doesn't illuminate the justice in people's hearts; on the contrary, it illuminates the evil hidden in the darkness within them.
Ling Yi's identity in this world is that of a supermarket owner.
But this morning, Ling Yi had already sold the supermarket. With the money, Ling Yi rented a high-end apartment and bought a high-spec Computer.
Ling Yi wants to show this Protagonist with warped values what true City Light really is.
This is just an ordinary world; Ling Yi didn't activate any special abilities, nor was there any need for him to.
With the knowledge he possesses, even without activating his special aura, he would still be a god-like being in this world.
The next morning, an account called City Light suddenly started a live stream on a certain live streaming platform.
The content of the live stream instantly went viral online.
In the live broadcast, Ren Chuan, the lawyer who had previously defended the elderly woman who had been helped, was now tied to a chair, his mouth taped shut, and staring at the camera with a look of terror on his face.
He had a bomb strapped to his body, with numbers flashing on it.
A mysterious hooded man stood beside him and slowly said in a deep, hoarse voice, "I am the City Light!"
"Many people probably know this person; he's that unscrupulous defense lawyer Ren Chuan."
The mysterious man tapped the bomb on the man's body with his finger and said, "If more than 100,000 people vote before 8 PM tonight, this bomb will... Boom!"
After saying that, he pressed Ren Chuan's head down, pointed to the screen, and said, "See this? This number is the number of votes. There are only a little over two hundred votes so far. Perhaps, you will survive."
Ren Chuan's eyes were red, and cold sweat dripped down his cheeks. He shook his head desperately, hoping that the viewers of the live stream would not vote.
"Attorney Ren Chuan, good luck!" With that, the mysterious man turned and left.
Then the sound of a door closing came from the live stream, followed by silence.
The number of viewers in the live stream increased rapidly, while the number of votes also increased slowly, and the chat was constantly flooding the screen.
But most of the comments were... support for the vote, and that the unscrupulous lawyer must die.
The Xinhai City Police Station quickly learned of the news, and after confirming that it was not a prank, Director Liu immediately convened an emergency meeting.
"Has anyone contacted the live streaming platform to verify the address and identity of this City Light account?" Director Liu asked in a deep voice.
Policewoman Mi Nan said, "The live streaming platform contacted us earlier, but this ' City Light' hacker is a very skilled hacker. He has already taken full control of the backend, and the platform's technicians are powerless to do anything about it."
"Could you please close this live stream?"
"The person in charge of the live stream had received a message from City Light that if the live stream was shut down, a bomb would be detonated immediately."
"So, in other words, we're currently helpless against the City Light?" Director Liu said coldly.
Everyone lowered their heads helplessly. If it were a live Capture, a life-or-death struggle with the criminals, they would have rushed forward without hesitation.
But these people have no way of dealing with this kind of high-IQ crime; they are completely clueless.
" Ren Chuan hasn't left Xinhai City in the past two days, so he should still be Xinhai City," Mi Nan said.
Director Liu nodded and said, "As long as they're still in Xinhai City, that's good. The impact of this incident is extremely negative. Mobilize all police forces and conduct a city-wide, thorough search."
"Yes!"
Everyone immediately got up and left to make arrangements.
Mi Nan left the conference room with the others, knowing that searching blindly was like looking for Dahai.
Finding someone in a short time is too difficult.
She returned to her office, picked up her phone, and watched the live stream, hoping to glean some clues.
Although it was daytime, the lights were on in Ren Chuan's room, and the curtains were drawn.
There were two pairs of disposable slippers in one corner of the room; this was a hotel.
She immediately shared this discovery in the group chat of the various team leaders, instructing them to prioritize checking rooms with the curtains drawn, especially those in hotels and guesthouses.
Apart from that, Mi Nan found no other valuable clues, except for lawyer Ren Chuan, who was on the verge of a breakdown.
Three hours have passed since the broadcast started, and the number of online votes has already reached over 30,000, increasing by about 10,000 every hour.
At this rate, I'm afraid we'll reach 100,000 votes before 8 PM.
"This guy is a lunatic," Mi Nan said, frowning.
Just then, the live stream on Mi Nan's phone suddenly changed, switching from the " City Light " live stream to the real City Light.
It was a dimly lit room. Inside, a mysterious man wearing a hood was watching his live stream with an indifferent expression.
Because of the angle, all you could see was his chin and slightly dry lips.
His fingers were tapping incessantly next to the Computer's touchscreen, as if he couldn't wait to press the confirmation button.
Although she didn't know what had happened, Mi Nan almost instinctively turned on the screen recording function.
She knew that this person was very likely the true City Light.
This man was extremely cautious; even in his own home, he did not remove his hood.
Mi Nan turned on her Computer and accessed the live streaming platform through the website. The live stream from the account "City Light" was still showing Ren Chuan.
It's completely different from what's on her phone.
Just as he was wondering what was going on, a gentle middle-aged woman's voice came from the phone.
"Hello, Officer Mi."
Mi Nan stood up abruptly and asked, "Who are you? What do you want? Did you hack my phone?"
"Please don't get agitated, sit down and let's talk."
Mi Nan frowned, calming herself down. Regardless of who the other person was or what they wanted to do, she was very clear that this person was very important to their police force, perhaps the key to saving that lawyer.
"You can call me Ling! You should know that for people like us, it's very dangerous once our true identities are exposed."
Zero? Which zero? The zero of zero degrees Celsius?
"No, it's the 'Ling' of reaching the Ling Jue. That's not important. What's important is that I will help you save people."
"The police never compromise with anyone," Mi Nan said in a deep voice.
"I think you've misunderstood. I simply wanted to teach that so-called City Light a lesson. His light illuminates the evil in people's hearts, not justice."
Mi Nan wholeheartedly agreed, nodding and saying, "You're right, the most urgent task now is to rescue Attorney Ren Chuan."
No, now is not the time.
"Why?"
"Because that lawyer is truly despicable. A lawyer without any moral bottom line is more terrifying than criminals, because their purpose in defending others is no longer for justice."
"What are you up to?"
"When the vote count is close to 100,000, I will tell you his location and simultaneously block the City Light network."
Although Mi Nan agreed with Ling Yi's words, she still shook her head and said, "I don't believe you. If you fail, it will be a life lost. Even if you can succeed, this is still an abuse of power and a violation of the law."
"I'm sorry, but everyone Central City, and that scale is called justice."
"Do you know what kind of pressure that girl named Qi Yuan will face next? Fifty thousand yuan isn't a lot of money, but it bought away the faith in her heart."
"..." Mi Nan didn't know how to refute it.
Everyone knows the whole story, but because there was no direct evidence, Ren Chuan's lawyer seized on a loophole, which ultimately led to this unfair outcome.
If Ren Chuan had even a shred of moral integrity, he would never have accepted this case and defended that family of scum.
"But you're breaking the law." Mi Nan knew that this "Ling" was different from the City Light; he was a person with a sense of justice, and she didn't want him to break the law.
"Where there are rules, there will inevitably be loopholes, because rules are made by people."
"Morality is the prerequisite for respecting all rules. Under the constraints of morality, rules are just; without the shackles of morality, rules become toys."
"Also, please believe me," Ling Yi said with utmost seriousness.
Mi Nan sighed and said, "Even if I find out who you are, I will still arrest you."
"Good luck then! Oh, and if you have Bluetooth headphones, wear them all the time. I'll contact you as soon as I have any updates."
Why did you choose me?
"Because you're beautiful, cough cough, because we're all beautiful."
"Next time, speak to me in your own voice, otherwise I'll feel like you've been cut up."
"..."
