2052, Thirty Years Of Sleep

After taking off his helmet, Yan Muyun breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression finally relaxed a little.

In fact, he is very good at "escape", which means to excuse himself in a sense.

To be honest, Yan Muyun did not have any moral burden regarding Yang Mingming's death and the cowardice he showed at the beginning.

He will be afraid when encountering danger, sometimes he is unable to do something, and he will also feel pain. However, he is never ashamed of this, nor does he feel inexplicable guilt.

Because he has always been very clear about his positioning, that is, an ordinary person, an ordinary person who is slightly more extraordinary than ordinary people.

Yan Muyun went to his father and mother not to seek comfort, but because he felt heavy and wanted to find a comfortable corner to hide for a while.

Now, he feels much better.

Yan Muyun put the helmet and the small silver-white square box back into Yan Long's room, and then came to the kitchen.

Opening the refrigerator door and looking at the remaining bottles of beer from the night before, he hesitantly reached out his hand, but in the end he just flicked the bottle with his fingers.

"Self-discipline, self-discipline."

He closed the refrigerator door and poured himself a glass of water.

The muscles in his body were still sore. Yan Muyun came to the living room, sat on the sofa with stiff movements, and put on his glasses.

He opened the "Jie Ke" software. Just like the previous times, the first information box that popped up on the main interface was the change in his ability ranking.

"Username: Shepherd, with the ability 'Silver Guard', ranked 977753, up 110 places from the previous ranking of 977863."

Yan Muyun rubbed his chin and murmured to himself: "According to Yan Long, the ranking changes based on the effect of each time I use my powers. My ranking has not increased much, it is basically floating up and down. Category. In other words, the performance of my superpower when facing the spider demon today is a matter of course and no surprise to the 'Jie Ke'..."

He closed the information bar and said, "Glasses, search for 'Punisher'."

"Glasses" is the name he gave to the AI ​​in his smart glasses, which is very simple and straightforward.

In Yan Muyun's field of vision, all kinds of information about the "punisher" were quickly listed.

When he was still in the Special Branch, he had been interested in this mysterious "vigilante", but because of the series of events that followed, he had never been able to find out what kind of person he was.

Now, he finally has time.

The text information about the "Punisher" was divided into several overlapping pages that filled the left field of view, and the videos and pictures were neatly placed on the right lens.

The amount of information is obviously large and complicated, but because of the exquisite design and arrangement, the whole does not appear messy, but gives people a clear feeling.

Among the information, Yan Muyun saw at a glance what he was most interested in - the "punisher" had indeed registered a video account on Jieke, and it even showed that he had more than two million fans.

He then clicked on the account homepage and watched the video inside.

There are currently 15 submissions for "Punisher", spanning more than a year. The earliest video was released in June last year.

Yan Muyun clicked on the video and set it to play in a list.

...

Half an hour later, he took off his glasses and reached out to gently rub his forehead.

Compared with professional video bloggers, the video shooting and editing of this "punisher" can be summed up in the simple word "disaster".

The total length of the video is only four to six minutes on average. There is basically only one perspective from the beginning to the end. There is no BGM (background music). The light in the picture is always dim, making it difficult to see clearly.

However, such a "shoddy" video has accumulated more than two million fans for this "punisher" within a year.

Yan Muyun didn't feel strange about this, after all, the focus of video shooting was different.

The purpose of video bloggers is to produce interesting content and accumulate fans and traffic.

And this "punisher" seems to be focused only on exposing the illegal activities of those criminals.

The structures of all the videos are highly similar. They start in a dimly lit room, with a person tied in front of the camera, and then the punisher reads out the person's crime and the punishment he deserves.

But in the first few videos, the punisher only read out the crime and then called the police, but did not kill anyone.

The turning point seems to be in the sixth video. From here on, the opponent will directly kill the "punished" at the end of the video.

Through the additional comments from fans in the comment area and other information on the Internet, Yan Muyun learned the true story of the matter.

The criminal who was tried this time was a rapist with a criminal record. This guy raped a girl five years ago. After he was released from prison, he actually found a way to find the victim again and committed violence.

At that time, the victim thought she was a woman with a one-year-old daughter.

After being caught by the punishment agent and handed over to the police, this guy faced the media interview and said the following words extremely arrogantly: "The maximum sentence for rape is ten years. When I get out of prison, I will still go to visit him." That cousin’s business. Oh, by the way, her daughter should have grown up by then, hahahahaha..."

These remarks caused an uproar on the Internet, with countless people scolding and cursing this damn rapist. Some of them even vented their anger on the "punisher", asking and abusing him why he didn't kill this scum directly.

That night, as the police were escorting the prisoner to prison, an accident occurred.

No one knows the details and process of the matter, most people only see the results.

No one of the police officers responsible for the escort was injured, but the rapist's body and head were separated, and he was too dead to die.

It was from here that among the "vigilantes" on Jiike, this masked man, who was not particularly outstanding in terms of appearance or video style, completely established his reputation.

After that, all the prisoners he "tried" were not handed over to the police, but were executed on the spot on video.

...

Yan Muyun lay on the sofa and let out a sigh of relief, feeling that his body was a little hot.

As a member of the generation who grew up watching American superhero movies, he actually has a natural sense of admiration and empathy for this kind of masked hero who walks outside the law and punishes rape and eliminates evil.

"Although I feel handsome, I have to correct my identity." Yan Muyun tapped his forehead with his knuckles.

I am now a member of the Special Branch. Some things are illegal. No matter who the other party is or what their purpose is, they must be stopped. This is what I should do.

Yan Muyun has always been very clear about his position and responsibilities, and can quickly assume the role.

...

About an hour later, the sound of the door opening came from the entrance to the living room. Yan Yiming came home from get off work.

"I heard what happened to you today." The man said while changing his shoes.

Yan Muyun in the living room raised his head and raised his eyebrows, but said nothing.

"What do you say?" Yan Yiming changed into slippers, walked over, and sat on the single sofa beside the coffee table: "After truly facing danger and death, do you still want to stay in the Special Branch?"

"What do you think?" Yan Muyun tilted his head.

The two brothers looked at each other for a while, and Yan Yiming sighed: "I really don't know what you are thinking. You can only live a stable life, but you must go to the most dangerous job."

"What about you, Deputy Director?" Yan Muyun asked.

"Me?" Yan Yiming was stunned for a moment, touched his chin after a while, and whispered: "I just think... since I have the ability to prevent some bad things from happening, then I should do it, otherwise You may regret it for the rest of your life.”

"The same blood flows in our bodies."

Yan Muyun smiled:

"Now to answer your question, after facing real danger and death, I'm glad I was able to prevent another tragedy from happening."

After the words fell, the living room fell into an inexplicable silence.

Yan Yiming stretched out his hand to cover his face: "Next time, just say 'because we are brothers'. The phrase 'we have the same blood flowing in our bodies' is too... middle-of-the-road."

"Haha." Yan Muyun scratched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.

I didn’t mean it, I just said whatever came to my mind...
