Hell App - Chapter 142

My name is Gu Xiaoyue, and I am an ordinary clerk.

At noon that day, like many people, I unconsciously took out my mobile phone while eating lunch, wanting to watch something casually to kill some time.

However, when the phone turned on, I found an unfamiliar App on the screen. This App had red letters on a black background and the words “Hell Front” written in red. It looked like an App from some horror game. An ominous feeling.

“…a new type of virus?”

I’m timid and never play horror games. Therefore, my first reaction is that those boring hackers have started to release new viruses to trick people.

Recently, all kinds of App viruses have emerged one after another, and there has been overwhelming publicity in the media, calling on citizens not to randomly open unknown Apps in order to protect their own property safety.

There are many people who have scrapped several mobile phones and finally learned to stop fighting against these virus apps. As a person who doesn’t like to seek death, I am naturally even less likely to open this app from an unknown source.

My fingertips were careful to avoid the icon of this app. I had no intention of deleting it, lest I accidentally trigger a virus.

After lunch, I went online and opened a reporting page, which described this new virus app in detail.

Hackers have been very rampant recently, but the country has not failed to curb their actions.

For example, take this reporting website. Whenever you find a suspected virus app, you can report it on this website. After verification, there will be a certain bonus.

Of course, as a civil servant, even if there is no bonus, you must report unknown apps. This is also one of your obligations.

Recently, the leaders above have paid great attention to virus apps. It seems that these apps have caused a lot of losses to the country, and the hackers have done a lot of evil.

After submitting, I put the matter behind me, because with the review speed of the staff, it would probably be late at night until the results came out.

But I never expected that the review would be so fast. In less than an hour, my report was approved.

What I didn’t expect was that before the reward came out, a guy in uniform broke into the office and told me with a serious face that my mobile phone had been confiscated.

It is said that this mobile phone virus is very complex, so it needs to be studied together with the mobile phone. It is the kind that will not be returned after the research is completed.

I don’t know much about this aspect, but as we are all within the system, of course we must cooperate when encountering this kind of thing. Although I was reluctant to part with my mobile phone, under the director’s scorching eyes, I obediently gave it to the uniformed boy. elder brother……

I’m sad that my phone is gone.

But the good news is that expropriated cell phones can be reimbursed.

With the reimbursement and bonus, I was able to buy a new, more expensive mobile phone. Once I got the new mobile phone, I forgot about the happiness that the old mobile phone once brought me.

…

Originally, I could enjoy the smooth experience of the new phone, but within two days of owning the new phone, I saw that familiar APP again.

I thought it was the culprit that caused my last mobile phone to leave me, so I was quite impressed by it.

However, as a person who lacks curiosity, I still don’t intend to click on it.

I silently opened the reporting website and reported the app casually.

Faster than last time, I saw the guy in uniform again.

This time, the guy in uniform not only confiscated my mobile phone, he also ‘confiscated’ me casually.

Sitting in a heavily guarded research institute, looking at a group of white coats looking at me eagerly, I felt a little panicked.

It seems like I’m in big trouble.

The guys in white coats studied it for a few days and determined that there was nothing special about me, it was just bad luck that led to me encountering the Hell App again in just a few days.

And coincidentally, during this period, they tried to slip me a new phone, and

The third mobile phone was not immune to the bad luck. On the afternoon of the day I got it, the rogue app was added, which surprised the people in white coats.

Fortunately, they gave it to me again

The fourth mobile phone, the fourth mobile phone has always been good, there is nothing extra that should not be added.

At least that’s the case so far…

Maybe it’s because I’m particularly popular with rogue apps, and I’m a guinea pig (guinea pig) with upright roots and upright views. The director felt that I was a promising talent, so he transferred me to the research institute.

After working in the research institute for a period of time, my world view was severely affected. Before that, I had always believed in science and never thought that such a thing would happen in the world——

Because we are all people who research apps, I also know part of the truth.

It all started with the death of a team leader in the network security department.

The team leader who first spread the virus app on the Internet died suddenly and suddenly soon after surrendering. He specifically mentioned “one minute” before his death. It seemed that he had a premonition of his own death and accurately predicted his own death. time.

What’s even more weird is that on a mobile phone confiscated from her, the young man on the other side of the screen kept staring at the phone, and the screen quickly went black, making the members of the task force think he was her accomplice.

However, when the police broke in, they found that the young man had lost his breath and was still holding the mobile phone before his death. After an autopsy, it was found that the cause of death was also sudden death, and the time of death was the same as that of the team leader.

The two died at the same time, and the cause of death was abnormal. In addition, when the team leader died, he carried with him a newspaper clipping about “sudden death while playing with mobile phones.” The symptoms of the two deaths were surprisingly consistent, and elementary school students could find out that there must be a hidden secret.

In the home of the deceased comrade, the task force searched for the tools used by the team leader to create a virus app. At the same time, they obtained a lot of information from the team leader’s belongings, and found that the team leader suddenly became interested in supernatural beings more than two months before his death. She was extremely concerned about the incident and browsed horror novels, supernatural games, and horror videos online at an abnormally high frequency. Before that, she obviously had no interest in this area.

At the same time, members of the task force also investigated the young man who was under surveillance by the team leader.

At the dead young man’s home, they investigated his laptop and mobile phone. Through browsing records, they found that the young man suddenly began to pay a lot of attention to supernatural and horror information in more than two months. He also browsed information related to “sudden cell phone death”. news.

In addition, the young man was not involved in the dissemination of the virus app. According to the evidence collected, the creation of the virus app should be only the personal behavior of Team Leader Ye.

By this time, the task force had already realized that this was a shocking case.

They followed the clues and found that the dead young man followed a female anchor named Chu, and the female anchor also died abnormally.

This female anchor had a strange appetite, died suddenly, and was also strangely interested in supernatural information before her death.

Similar commonalities, deaths that deliberately convey information, plus the sudden death news that was quite frequent not long ago…

The members of the task force were keenly aware of the commonalities and realized that there may be more than just these victims.

After screening big data, members of the task force found that after the emergence of two virus apps, the number of people who died suddenly while playing on mobile phones in China dropped sharply. It seems that the cause of sudden death was deeply related to the apps.

There is an App related to supernatural beings and ghosts that is trying to invade our world. This App game seems to have 12 levels. If you click on the App, you will be forced to join the game. Failure in the game will cause the player to die suddenly, and success in the game seems to threaten to the safety of our world.

Due to some reason, Team Leader Ye could not tell the truth clearly, so he had to create a virus to give subtle hints, hoping that others would discover it.

This conclusion is quite absurd, but after eliminating all impossibilities, the remaining explanation, no matter how incredible, is the truth of the matter.

Anyway, after reading the analysis of those experts, I was deceived.

…

If you stay in a research institute for a long time, you will inevitably come into contact with some cruel things.

This was the first time I knew that the director would use death row prisoners for experiments.

Of the three mobile phones that were confiscated from me, none of them were wasted. They were all used by those on death row.

There are researchers who like SCP and call these experimental subjects D-class personnel. I searched online for what SCP is and found that it is very similar to our situation, so I secretly followed suit and called them that.

Because of the sacrifices of these D-class personnel, the weirdness of that App was verified.

When you click the App for the first time, D-class personnel will disappear in reality, some will disappear forever, and some will return after a minute.

After returning to reality, D-class personnel are controlled by the App and cannot speak or write information related to the App in any way. Moreover, at this time, the App will suddenly “disappear” on the mobile phone when someone witnesses it. Only when the witness looks away can the D-class personnel see the App again. Moreover, videos involving APPs will disappear, and all electronic products are unreliable.

In addition, starting from the first contact with the App, they must click on the App again every seven days to enter that weird world. If they do not touch the App for seven days, they will die…

…

With the unremitting efforts of many staff, the research has made some progress.

Researchers discovered that as the game progresses, the bodies of some D-class personnel will mutate. Compared to other D-class personnel, they eat very little, sleep significantly less, and at the same time maintain energy, becoming less and less human.

Thinking of those mutated creatures in horror games, I feel a little scared and disgusted by these D-class personnel.

I always feel that if they don’t care about anything and just let it go, they will become quite terrifying creatures.

However, including its director, we still don’t know what App is.

App is something that today’s technology cannot understand. The only thing we can be sure of is that no one can pass the level.

Unfortunately, this is beyond human control.

Anyone with a mobile phone in any corner of the world may become a player of this game. We cannot ensure that everyone can control their own hands, and we cannot find everyone who becomes a player. We can only Delay the customs clearance time.

And…does the App really only appear on mobile phones? No one knows this either.

What we can do now is to race against time and find as many ways as possible to fight against terror before it strikes.

My name is Gu Xiaoyue, and I am an ordinary researcher.

After researching for so long, I still haven’t found a way to fight the App. I’m a little pessimistic.

But… I want to live, and I don’t want Team Leader Ye and the others to sacrifice in vain.

Today, I am also doing my best.
