Do you know "Fengdu Luoshan"?

If someone suddenly asks you this question in Longjun, you may think of some ancient folklore about hell.

But now, around the world, people are asking this question.

Just because... there is a "urban legend" related to it appeared on the Internet.

The legendary content is roughly like this

One day in early 2218, a website called "Fengdu Luoshan" appeared on the dark web. This website neither provides illegal transactions (illegal transactions on the dark web include but are not limited to arms, poisons/pharmaceuticals/chemicals, sensitive professional knowledge/consultation, employment relationships for illegal acts, etc.), does not publish sensational conspiracy theories, nor does it involve those supernatural explorations of gods and ghosts...

Fengdu Luoshan only does one thing to judge.

According to the website's records, since February 2218, the live broadcast channel of the website will be opened once every day and the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, and the specific time will be uncertain... Sometimes it is in the evening, sometimes it is in the early morning, and several times at noon.

But no matter when, as long as the channel is turned on, it means that a "trial live broadcast" has begun.

In the following time, the audience will witness a masked man calling himself a "judge" trial of one or more people; there is no restriction on the age, gender, and occupation of the judged person, but one thing remains unchanged... They are all people who have been on the news.

Sexual offenders who escaped guilt by money and status; serial killers who have been fled for many years but have never fallen into the legal open; traffic perpetrators and their families who maliciously refused to pay compensation obligations; related persons who refused to help investigate afterwards and refused to assist in the investigation; elderly people who forced people to death by plagiarism and infringement; cultural figures who started out by cheating on elderly people but were free from legal loopholes; film and television tycoons who were plagued by many unspoken rules and scandals, etc.

The crimes of these judged persons are both serious and serious, but they all meet two premises: first, they have a certain degree of difficulty in social topics; second, they do not pay the due price for their own actions, or they do not pay the price at all.

And "Fengdu Luoshan" is just the meaning of its name in folk legends, it is a place to "set accounts" with these people.

Every month, the "judge" will prepare two live shows, and within 24 hours after the live broadcast, the full high-definition video of this live broadcast will be placed on the homepage of the website, providing free online viewing and downloading.

Unlike those who sell perverts, murders, and curses on the dark web, the judge seems not interested in money; his only way to interact with the audience is...voting.

Every time the trial is live, the judge will decide the trial process and the final result based on the number of votes of the audience; although the judge is still the judge, the audience will also feel that they have a high degree of participation.

Such a person, such a show, is naturally very in line with the tastes of netizens.

In the online world, most people are chasing a sense of identity that they cannot get in reality and beyond their own class and abilities.

They hid behind the screen, typing on the keyboard, making remarks that they thought they were irresponsible, and looked forward to being supported and recognized.

Every year, every month, every day, every moment... they all expect, desire, be valued, and be responded to.

They vented their ill-intentioned attacks and rough debates, disguised with cheap mercy and vested knowledge, making their virtual identity powerful, gain companions, and even gain fans.

And these are nothing more than just because they want to "change" something.

This willingness is real. They do want the world to develop in a better direction "what they think" but they are unwilling to pay human or material costs and risks in reality, so they choose to realize this willingness through the keyboard in their hands and a virtual identity on the Internet.

The judge is a person who fulfills his wishes for them.

If one day someone handed a "death penalty button" to your hand, just press it, and you can make a scum who has seen it in social news, and you and countless people feel that you are not qualified to live in this world to death... and you die miserably, will you press it?

If that person tells you again, even if you press it, you will not be held accountable. He will bear all the responsibilities. Will you hesitate? Or... how long will you hesitate?

Even on the bright Internet that people are familiar with, this answer is probably obvious, not to mention on the dark web...

…………

2218, Summer, Blackhawk County, Berlin.

Hull Schneider was in a terrible mood when he walked out of the company's conference room.

He failed again.

David, the flatterer who entered the company later than him, became the floor manager, and he had to stay in his boring position for at least another six months.

Hull is thirty-two years old this year. He is not married, in love, or even has no friends.

He devoted all his energy to work, but he has not been promoted to management yet.

Since three years ago, his boss has been constantly suggesting that he might give him a promotion, but he will always stay in the "hint" stage, and in the end... others always take the lead.

Those who are not as capable as him and ask colleagues to go out for fun every day; those who run away early when he works overtime but shout when he seeks credit; those who rely on nepotism to enter the company and eat in a simple way...

If Hull was the boss of this company, he could have listed a "waste list" with more than a dozen names in one night, most of which were middle-level and above people. He was sure that kicking these people out of the company would increase the efficiency of work here by more than 50%.

Unfortunately...he is not.

On the way home, Hull's broken car's air conditioner accidentally broke down. Coupled with the poor traffic conditions, he sat in the car and steamed the sauna for nearly an hour.

When he returned to his residence, his anger and frustration not only did not weaken, but became even worse.

Of course, more anger.

Even after he went to take a shower, the anger still had no tendency to calm down.

After putting on his bathrobe, he took out a piece of cold pizza left last night from the refrigerator and heated it perfunctorily for two minutes. While preparing this "dinner", he took out Santing's chilled beer. After preparing all of this, he sat in front of the computer.

As soon as he turned on his computer, all the software and various temporary folders were displayed on his computer desktop. At this moment, he thought this was such a ironic thing.

He couldn't help but think that if he had spent more time on interpersonal communication in the past decade, he might have got everything he wanted in an easy way.

He will have many friends, families, or at least a girlfriend; he will be like those trash who ride on his head and can't do anything other than seeking credit and flattering, and can get a high salary by just socializing.

Thinking of this, Hull felt a little depressed. He suddenly poured the beer and burped rudely. Then he opened the drawer beer by himself and took out a bottle of lubricant, a pack of tissues, and a VR peripheral that could be connected to the computer host.

Although no one has ever counted this matter and cannot obtain accurate statistics, generally speaking, if you are a man living alone, with certain financial conditions, and over thirty years old, you will definitely deal with something that goes against the law.

Hull is no exception... With a certain degree of computer knowledge, he has been a regular visitor to various dark webs a few years ago.

Of course, in the years he first started working, he was just an ordinary netizen; he went to websites known to the public and expressed various opinions from his own point of view, but soon he realized that even in the online world, he was a very boring person.

If "socialization" is a talent, Hull is probably a mentally retarded in this regard; he is the kind of existence that can make the whole audience cold with a few words in the chat room, he is the kind of existence that will be ignored after making a serious comment or make people embarrassed to pretend not to see it.

Over time, his remarks on the Internet became more and more hostile and aggressive, but that did not improve his situation. At most, it would just turn his situation from "embarrassing" to "annoying".

When this negative emotion that is constantly feedback accumulates to a critical point, Hull finally begins to look for some bloody, curious, and illegal things to stimulate his nerves to achieve the purpose of venting.

In this way, he stepped into the dark web and... found a feeling of freedom here and found a way to cushion the pressure of reality.

He still remembers the feeling of hatred, guilt, and... excitement he felt when he saw a "training video" on the dark web that claimed to be "supplying to a senior federal member of parliament" and leaked from a "network reckoning center".

Today, on this day when the promotion was declared a failure again, he felt that he had a good reason to sin again.

Just as he prepared various items, drank beer, and browsed information in various dark web resource sharing sites, he suddenly saw many similar messages.

"The trial has begun."

“The trial is being broadcast live.”

"Today's trial is Borg!"

"It's so satisfying! Haha!"

"That bastard Bog has gone to Luoshan, Fengdu, hahaha."

These contents are undoubtedly pointing to the same thing, and this thing... Hull, who often goes to the dark web, has naturally heard of it, but he has never seen it with his own eyes.

But now, since he happened to catch up with the live broadcast, Hull just opened the "Fengdu Luoshan" website that he had heard for a long time.

Once the web page is flashed, it will be a very large video window. On the right side of the window is an instant comment list. There are two numbers displayed in the lower left and lower right corners of the video. The red number on the left is now 241, while the white number on the right is only a pitiful 4.

Hull put on his headphones, adjusted the volume slightly, and began to watch the content in the live broadcast.

At this moment, the video shows a middle-aged bald man wearing only a pair of shorts and a big belly.

Hull had seen this man's face on the news. His name is Lucas Borg, a native of Blackhawk County, and he is the head of a federal social security organization.

At this time last year, it was revealed that Borg had long used his position to bring some "guests" of unknown origin to the homes of female citizens with intellectual disabilities, and violently violated their families while they were out.

Once the incident was exposed, it immediately caused a very bad social response. People were resentful for a while, and various media and people pointed their finger at relevant federal departments. Borg was quickly taken away by the police to assist in the investigation.

But the next development of this matter is...

After a period of investigation and investigation, the federal side quickly dispatched public relations and gave several sets of official rhetoric that could not be verified or denied, calming down public opinion. As time went by, most people who were not concerned about their own affairs for about a week of indignation, forget the news. After all, they still have their own lives to live. Compared with these things that they cannot control, news such as celebrity gossip is obviously more likely to attract their attention.

It took a few months, and when the matter was almost completely forgotten, the investigation of the Borg incident was announced by the official in a very low-key manner that the evidence was insufficient and the allegations were not established.

According to relevant federal departments, the wounds on the so-called "victims" did not collect Borg's DNA, so the physical evidence is not valid. As for where their injuries came from... These people are more likely to be injured than ordinary people in daily life. It is normal for them to be injured. Similar testimony is not trustworthy. Similar testimony may be made by people with ulterior motives. Except for the official information, other gossips are not credible. Those who spread rumors will hold them accountable.

That's it, this matter was revealed.

Of course, after this happens, Borg will definitely not be able to stay in his original position anymore; but it doesn't matter. He is a federal official at least, so he can't stay in this position anymore. Just change one. As for where to change it... this is an internal transfer from the federal government, and there is no need to report it to the outside world.

After such an operation, the image of the federal social security organization was preserved; the person involved was no longer in his position; no one could hear the voices of the parties involved, as for the voices of netizens... Anyway, they had basically forgotten this matter a long time, and they dared not say anything else... In short, if you deal with it properly, the world will be peaceful.

But……

Judge, he seemed to think that this matter was not over yet.

So, the next show...
Chapter completed!
