Chapter 2413


    At this moment, Aurous Hill.


    A man donning a face mask appeared at the subway station near Treasure Pavilion


    There were many security cameras in the subway station. Some were security footages, and some were the city''s Sk monitoring. There were


    also some newly added high-end cameras equipped with facial recognition ability. 3


    All these years, with the advancement in technology, facial recognition had emerged sessfully from science fiction movies into the lives of normal


    human beings.


    Not only were phones able to support facial recognition, more importantly, the police also had a huge amount of data that was closely rted to the


    facial recognition system.


    The biggest advantage of this system was the speed at which the system conducted a mass screening


    For example, assuming hundreds of people walked head-on and there was a fugitive in the mix. By relying on only one police officer to examine every


    person one by one, the efficiency was not only low, but it was also mare likely for an error to ur. 2


    However, with the existence of facial recognition, even if hundreds of people walked past speedily, the system would still be able to capture the faces


    and ascertain the identities of all those people.


    At the same time, the system would immediately verify the identity of those hundreds of people. If there were fugitives and suspects in the crowd, the


    police would be alerted by the system in the shortest amount of time. 5


    Atypical example was a concert that had been held in Oskia where a famous Hong Kong singer had performed. At every concert, the police would


    always b e able to catch a few fugitives from among the tens of thousands of people in the crowd.


    Why was it so efficient?


    It all depended on the powerful function of face recognition! 3


    Hence, with the advancement of technology, the probability of criminals attempting to escape legal action was getting smaller and smaller. 3


    At this moment, the man with a mask looked around his surroundings. Then, he reached out into his pocket and pulled out a very withered and


    wrinkled box of cigarettes.


    He tore the cigarette box apart and realized that there was not even a single cigar in there. So, he strode to the mobile convenience store in the


    subway station. I n a low voice, he said to the boss, "Give me a packet of


    cigarettes."


    The boss hurriedly asked, "Soft or hard?"Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    The man answered, "Soft."


    As the boss took a packet of cigarettes from the ss cab, he said, "Sixty-five."


    The man threw a piece of one hundred Cskian dor note to the boss and replied, "Keep the change."


    Feeling delighted, the boss quicklyughed, "Oh, thank you very much!" 4


    The man took the box of cigarettes, and as he turned, the outer sticyer of the cigar was torn apart.


    Then, he tore the right side of the cigar box. 4


    Later, with his skillful fingers, he


    knocked. on the left side of the cigar


    box, and a cigar came out from the


    opening on the right side. 5Content

    He took out the cigar and casually took off his face mask. A fierce square face was revealed


    Putting the cigar in his mouth, he lighted it and took arge puff. Next, he looked left and right. 4


    In the afterglow, he caught a


    glimpse ￠ of the rows of security IN


    cameras in the subway station. A

    He had been on the run for three years.


    Throughout these three years, he had lived a ghostlike life, hiding and escaping everywhere. He was


    already very exhausted.


    He had always wanted to sneak into a foreign country. This way, he could totally breathe a sigh of relief.


    Nheless, he did not have the ability nor the opportunity to do so.


    Thus, he could only have a full meal sometimes, and without a meal at other times, as he was busy hiding everywhere.


    The only constion for him was that he and his family had a very secretive way ofmunication which the police did not even know of.


    Through this way ofmunication,


    his family hatfinformed him two


    days ago that a person had given -
