Chapter 174 Far Evil (Part 1)

The following morning, shortly after Wei Hongsi arrived at the company, he received a call from Zhang Shengyong.

He said succinctly, "Yu Zhi and I are planning to go to your place. It's related to what Director Shi told you last time."

Wei Hongsi said, "Okay, I'll wait for you at the company."

After hanging up the phone, he quickly arranged his work for the morning and then gave instructions to Feng Weixu, asking them to help follow up on the fourth "death order" removal surgery.

This work is progressing smoothly, and Wei Hongsi has gained another 200 contribution points as a result. He no longer needs to keep an eye on it, so please ask your senior brother to put in a little more effort.

The fact that Yu Zhi and Zhang Shengyong came over must mean that Director Liang has obtained some very important information and data, which likely needs to be analyzed and processed; otherwise, there would be no need for them to rush over.

Therefore, Wei Hongsi had to free up his time, and if it was related to the case of the Light Guiding Association, it would be difficult to hand it over to other technical personnel.

About fifteen minutes later, Yu Zhen and Zhang Shengyong arrived and were taken directly to Wei Hongsi's office by the security personnel in the lobby.

Wei Hongsi greeted Yu Zhen, then said to Zhang Shengyong, "Why didn't you say anything?"

In the past, when Zhang Shengyong came over, he would call ahead so that Wei Hongsi could come down to meet him.

Zhang Shengyong shrugged and didn't say anything.

Yu Zhen waved his hand: "Hey, we're already so familiar with each other, there's no need to waste time on this."

He took a USB drive from his bag and said, "Professor Wei, these are two videos that Director Liang gave me. I'd like you to help analyze them to see if they contain any psychological malware."

"Okay." Wei Hongsi took it, sat down behind his desk, plugged the USB drive into his computer, checked the file properties and size, and said, "Yu Zhi, I estimate it will take about an hour."

Yu Zhen nodded and said, "Oh, okay, you analyze it first, and we'll talk about it after you get the results."

While establishing the standards for the assessment system of "subconscious influence of video content", the IR1 project team also built a brand-new analytical model, which is much more efficient than the method originally used by Wei Hongsi.

However, the two videos that Yu Zhen brought were both close to ten minutes long, much longer than typical GG or short videos, which would inevitably take more time to analyze.

Furthermore, if these two videos contain any "psychological viruses," they are designed specifically for people from KR. Since KR people differ somewhat from people from country C in their thought processes, a more comprehensive analysis is needed.

Wei Hongsi called Xia Shiyu over and asked Xia to pour tea for the two police guests. While processing the two videos, he also sent a message to Wu Wenjun. His comrades were visiting, not sneaking around; informing Wu was just a matter of courtesy.

Not long after, Wu Wenjun arrived and said to Yu Zhen, "You came without even saying hello."

Yu Zhen smiled and said, "This is official business, not a casual visit."

Wu Wenjun said with dissatisfaction, "That's really not fair. Every time I go to your place, I have to report to your office."

Yu Zhen glared at him and said, "Isn't that obvious? You went there to see me!"

While the two of them were talking, Zhang Shengyong sat down opposite Wei Hongsi. Seeing that he was busy, he didn't disturb him.

Wei Hongsi finished the preliminary work, and all that was left was to wait for the results. Looking at the progress estimate, he said to Zhang Shengyong, "It will take at least another half hour."

Zhang Shengyong nodded.

After speaking with Yu Zhen for a while, Wu Wenjun prepared to leave. He knew that Yu Zhen was meeting with Wei Hongsi on behalf of the task force, and that it must be something very important, so he didn't want to disturb him.

Before leaving, he said to Wei Hongsi again, "Mr. Wei, I'm leaving now."

Wei Hongsi said, "Okay, Mr. Wu, we're done here. I'll talk to you later."

Wu Wenjun smiled and nodded, then went out and closed the door.

Zhang Shengyong couldn't help but ask, "You've become a 'general manager' now?"

Wei Hongsi said, "It's just a title, and it's all thanks to the task force."

Zhang Shengyong couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

Yu Zhen said, "With Professor Wei Hongsi's abilities, it would be a real waste if he didn't lead a team."

"That's true," Zhang Shengyong agreed.

Wei Hongsi asked, "How are those two celebrities doing after their treatment? Did they provide any valuable clues?"

Zhang Shengyong said, "He seems to have recovered fairly well and has provided quite a few details, but he hasn't been of much help to the investigation."

Yu Zhen said, "Actually, this is not necessarily a bad thing, at least it hasn't brought out any new victims."

Wei Hongsi nodded silently.

Recently, the task force has not made any major progress. It is estimated that if the case of the Guiding Light Association is to make a major breakthrough, the "circuit breaker mechanism" must be broken and those key figures must speak up.

However, as Yu Zhi said, the case has not expanded and no new victims have emerged, which is a good thing.

The three of them chatted about the case for a while, and about half an hour later, the analysis and calculation of the first video were completed.

Wei Hongsi unfolded the data analysis charts and compared them with the abnormal segments automatically marked by the model. He said, "Yu Zhi, the video we've already analyzed does indeed contain a psychological virus," and the negative emotions it evoked were quite extreme.

"Really?" Yu Zhen stood up and walked over to Wei Hongsi. "Could you describe exactly what kind of extreme method it is?"

Wei Hongsi said: "The psychological virus in this video mainly targets the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, which can stimulate people to overreact, leading to emotional impulsiveness and loss of control, and triggering extreme behavior."

"Continuous exposure to this psychological virus" can trigger angry rumination, causing the infected person to repeatedly immerse themselves in negative emotions, ultimately transforming into introverted projection or extroverted explosive anger.

Zhang Shengyong couldn't help but scratch his head: "Could you explain it more simply?"

Wei Hongsi pondered for a moment, then said, "I speculate that this 'psychological virus' is designed for victims of bullying, ultimately leading to two outcomes: either suicide or revenge against the abuser. It's also possible that they will commit suicide after taking revenge."

Zhang Shengyong frowned and said, "That's really extreme."

At this point, the second video analysis operation was also completed.

Wei Hongsi said, "Wait a moment, let me take another look at this."

He unfolded the data charts and quickly found similarities with the previous video. After further comparison, the conclusions were basically the same.

"Yu Zhi, the psychological virus in this video is probably the same type as the previous one, only the outlet for emotional release is different."

Yu Zhen asked, "What are the differences?"

Wei Hongsi said, "Simply put, it means that when someone is bullied but doesn't dare to retaliate, they seek out someone weaker than themselves to attack, or they resort to self-harm."
