American Celestial Master

Chapter 166, Graduation Examination (3)

Sean quickly got a lot of undisclosed information through his channels, including all the surveillance videos of the mall for nearly a month, and all the relevant information about the missing people in the mall.

"So much?" Cowell said, "Isn't there anything the police have initially analyzed?"

"The missing are all ordinary people. How could the police have any analysis?" Sean asked rhetorically.

"But these contents are too much, and it is a troublesome thing for us to look at these surveillance separately." Cowell said.

"Why don't we get a software with human recognition function to screen out all the content where the victim appears. Especially the video of the victim that day, and then we will manually review these videos again." Andre said .

"No, it's easy to miss the key things like this. After all, you all know that although artificial intelligence is called artificial intelligence, it is actually artificial mental retardation sometimes. I have a better way."

"Do you have a better way? Don't say it first, let me think about it, ah... I see, you don't want to use real artificial intelligence, do you? Let's say that this artificial intelligence has The price of smartphones has really dropped a lot, so much so that it poses a threat to the development of artificial intelligence." Kewell reacted almost immediately.

Over the past period of time, due to the sharp deterioration of the economy, one of the side effects is that labor costs have dropped significantly.Looking at labor costs alone, it may even make people think that the reindustrialization of the United States is just around the corner.

Sean went to the community college to find a group of students, assigned the video to them, and told them that if they found anything valuable, they could get a certain reward.So they were immediately motivated to work.

By that night, all kinds of video materials that had been screened out were concentrated in the hands of Xiao En and the others.

"What are the common characteristics of these victims, both men and women, before they disappeared?" Sean asked.

"Let's start by eliminating the most meaningless similarities." Andre said, "Although this may seem a bit stupid, it is not easy to miss anything. Anyway, there is plenty of time for the exam."

"First of all, they have all entered the shopping mall." Sean said quickly, "And they all disappeared in the dead corner of surveillance."

"Leaving aside the first point, regarding the second point, do you think this shows that the ghost talker has a certain understanding of modern technology, so he deliberately avoided the camera?" Andre said.

"It's possible. If so, then it can explain the following points. First, this strange talk has a certain amount of intelligence. Second, it may also have a certain understanding of the way our society operates. Let's pay attention again. , For quite a long time at the beginning, it did not attack the staff in the mall, perhaps because it knew that attacking the staff of the mall was a higher risk than attacking ordinary customers." Cowell frowned slightly eyebrow said.

"If this is the case, even if its own power is limited, the danger level has increased. By the way, do the people who disappeared at the beginning have any common characteristics?" Sean asked again.

"What do you mean?" Andrei asked.

"Anything is fine," Sean said.

"The first victims were all women. In fact, most of the victims were women. There were 43 victims in total, of which [-] were women." Fritz, who was not very talkative, said, "These There are women of all races, and although the number is not strictly in line with the racial breakdown of the female customers in the mall, the difference is not too big. It can be considered that there is no racial discrimination in the strange talk when choosing targets."

After hearing this, everyone laughed together.

"No way, this thing also pays attention to political correctness, right?" Sean laughed.

"It's not impossible. Of course, there are many other possible explanations. After all, it is a heterogeneous species. If it has racial tendencies, it is worthy of attention." Cowell also laughed.

"Except for the last exorcist, all the victims, including men, have the experience of facing mirrors. You also know that mirrors are very complicated." Fritz continued, "Of course, the mirrors they look at They are different. The first few victims all went into the cloakroom to try on clothes. Of course, because of privacy issues, there are no cameras in the cloakroom. But there is a big mirror in the cloakroom, and basically no one enters the cloakroom. Possibility of not looking in the mirror.

But let me make sure that this matter is related to the mirror, or some of the victims behind.For example, No.20 Victim No. 20, she looked in the mirror at the jewelry counter. No.20 No. 30 victim, she looked in the mirror at the cosmetics counter, No. 40 No. [-]... No. [-] No. [-], this is the first male victim, he used the fitting room, as to why before him , No male accident, I haven't figured it out yet... No. [-] is the staff of the mall.He is the night security guard of the shopping mall, that is, he guards against theft after the shopping mall closes at night.He opened the door of the cloakroom on the way around the field, but did not go in, and later disappeared after leaving the range of the surveillance equipment.Although the exact time of his disappearance is still uncertain, considering that he has never appeared in the video of the surveillance equipment since then, I deduce that he may have problems shortly after he entered the blind spot of the surveillance equipment. "

"This kind of performance, the power of this thing seems to be constantly strengthening." Cowell said, "Leaving aside those political correctness, there are still differences between women and men in terms of strength and hormone levels, which also leads to women being more powerful. Easy to target, even when the attacker is some kind of evil spirit. Of course, women also have their own advantages-I am in no way saying this to prevent any of you from snitching on Mrs. Annie, because everyone knows that Teacher Annie's gender is a superhero."

"Some evil spirits can increase their power by killing people." Xiao En said, "I think it started to attack men later, and even attacking security personnel is a sign of its growing strength."

"Not necessarily. After all, judging from the ability it showed at the beginning, there is actually not much difference between men and women. I think it is probably the influence of its obsession that makes it more inclined to attack women." Ritz said, "In addition, except for the exorcist, all the victims wore earrings, including the men."

"Looking at it this way, this thing looks a bit like some kind of earthbound spirit." Andre said.
