If you were made a mascot, you would become a legend in the police force.

The delivery speed in this remote town is basically like a snail climbing a hill. It took a full three days for that extra-large, custom-made industrial keyboard to arrive.

For the past three days, Li Tuantuan has been forcibly "confined" to her home.

Wang Zhenhua gave a strict order: Li Tuantuan was not allowed to leave the courtyard, not even the canteen, for fear that passersby would take pictures of her and provide material for marketing accounts. Li Tuantuan could only practice handstands against the wall in her single room in the backyard, so bored she was practically growing mold.

"GunGun, your 'work injury rehabilitation equipment' has arrived."

Lin Wan walked in carrying a heavy package and locked the door behind her. The institute's knowledge of this panda's "special talent" is top secret; if word got out, the Chinese Academy of Sciences would probably send someone to dissect it for research tomorrow.

Li Tuantuan sprang up from the carpet with a somersault and excitedly rubbed her two thick bear paws together.

Upon opening the packaging, a strong industrial vibe immediately hits you.

The silver-gray all-metal keyboard has keys that look like mahjong tiles. When you press them, they make a crisp "click-click" sound and have a strong rebound. It's as if it was tailor-made for his "powerful Vajra hands".

Lin Wan plugged the keyboard into the repaired tablet, pulled up a small stool, and sat down next to it, looking on with amusement. "Come on, show us! Are you planning to write 'The Panda's Wanderings' or just type 'Hello World'?"

Li Tuantuan ignored her teasing, straightened the keyboard, took a deep breath, and focused her energy.

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]: "It's been a long time since I've felt this effortless control. System, load [Basic Hacking Techniques]! Give me a buff!"

Muscle memory is activated instantly.

Li Tuantuan stretched out two index fingers—though they were bear paws—but because the keyboard was big enough, she no longer had to worry about pressing "Enter" and "Delete" at the same time.

"Da da da da—!"

A rapid, rhythmic clatter of keys erupted, sounding like machine gun fire. Lin Wan's vision blurred, and the previously flashy desktop on the tablet screen vanished, replaced by a command-line window with black text on a green background.

The code appeared rapidly, line by line.

Although Lin Wan couldn't understand the code, she was utterly shocked, her mouth agape in an "O" shape: "You...you really know how? That typing speed would make even a programmer who's been single for thirty years weep!"

Li Tuantuan pursed her lips and smiled arrogantly.

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]: "Basic operation, stop flashing '6'. First, add a firewall to this tablet to prevent it from being monitored by those junk software programs. Then... hehe, here we go! Weibo!"

A few minutes later, the protection program was working. Li Tuantuan switched back to his browser, skillfully entered the website address, and logged into a newly registered account with an extremely arrogant ID—"Qinling's Number One Fierce Bear".

Click on the trending topics list.

Sure enough, the topic of "police station raising pandas" is still on the list. Although the popularity has dropped a bit, the comment section is still chaotic, full of people stirring up trouble.

A popular online influencer known as "Sober Man" posted a long article, several thousand words long:

[Regarding the Taiping Town Police Station's adoption of a wild panda, I strongly oppose it. First, pandas are ferocious beasts, with a bite force second only to polar bears. Placing them in a densely populated town is irresponsible and endangers the lives of residents. Second, the so-called "assistance in solving the case" is nothing but a publicity stunt. What law does an animal know? This is a trampling on the dignity of the law! I strongly suggest that the panda be immediately sent to a professional institution for captivity, or that its teeth be removed.]

The comment section below is full of paid trolls echoing this sentiment.

"Exactly, what if it bites a child? Who's responsible?"

"The police are neglecting their duties and using taxpayers' money to promote their online celebrity stuff."

"It looks cute, but it's actually quite fierce. I suggest euthanasia or having its teeth pulled before you get it. Safety first."

Upon seeing the words "euthanasia" and "tooth extraction," Li Tuantuan's anger instantly surged to the top of her head.

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]: "Tooth extraction? Euthanasia? Did I eat your rice? Or dig up your ancestral graves? When I was arresting wanted criminals, you were typing on your keyboards, and when I was saving a little girl, you were still typing. So you get to play both the good guy and the bad guy? Do you really think our national treasure has no temper?"

Without saying a word, he immediately opened the reply box.

Two bear paws danced across the keyboard, leaving afterimages as they typed. If you didn't see the fur, you would think it was the live performance of a top e-sports player.

Qinling's Number One Fierce Bear: [@HumanSoberBrother, you say pandas are ferocious beasts, but have you ever seen this panda attack someone? No investigation, no right to speak. You say the police are hyping it up, but why don't you look at who arrested those three A-level wanted criminals? As for bite force, I suggest you stick your head out and try it; see if your skull is harder than the facts. Also, don't be too 'watery' (insensitive/naive), or you'll drown.]

send!

Cool!

But that wasn't enough. Li Tuantuan used her hacking skills to directly access the IP address of this "sober-minded guy".

The code scrolls rapidly across the screen, following the target step by step.

Tracking complete. IP address located: XX Public Relations & Media Co., Ltd., XX City, XX Province.

[Account Detection: This IP address is associated with over 300 paid online accounts that have recently been frequently stirring up trouble and inciting conflict in various trending social events.]

Li Tuantuan sneered, a sly glint in her eyes.

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]: "So you're a professional troll. You're paid to post, huh? Making easy money, huh? Fine, then I'll take your job and give you a big gift in return."

His fingers flew across the keyboard as he wrote an extremely funny little program, which he then directly embedded into the other company's server.

This program isn't particularly destructive; it simply replaces all documents, pictures, and videos on all computers within the target network with a screen full of large red text saying, "I am a paid troll, I am guilty, I am a cyber parasite," and locks the desktop for 24 hours.

Unable to shut down or restart, unplugging the power doesn't work unless the system is reinstalled.

After doing all this, Li Tuantuan felt that half of her anger had been released, and she breathed a long sigh of relief.

Lin Wan watched in stunned silence. Although she didn't know exactly what Li Tuantuan had done, seeing the lines of red warning codes on the screen and the sinister... no, the righteous smile on Li Tuantuan's face, she knew someone was going to be in trouble.

"Gun Gun, you... take it easy." Lin Wan swallowed and whispered a reminder, "Don't crash the network, that's illegal. We're unofficial staff, we need to know the law."

Li Tuantuan turned around, grinned at her, and gave her an "OK" sign, looking incredibly smug.

Just then—

"Waaaaah!!!"

A piercing alarm suddenly blared, instantly shattering the afternoon tranquility.

This is the police station's emergency assembly alarm; it will not sound unless there is a major emergency!

The smile on Li Tuantuan's face froze instantly.

Lin Wan's expression changed drastically, and at the same time, her phone started vibrating wildly in her pocket. She answered the call, and after listening to just a couple of sentences, her face instantly turned deathly pale.

"What? The Xiangyang Kindergarten school bus? How many people are on board? How long have they been missing? Okay! Okay! We're on our way! Requesting SWAT support!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Wan's hands were trembling uncontrollably.

She looked at Li Tuantuan, her voice terribly hoarse: "Something terrible has happened. A school bus full of children from Xiangyang Kindergarten in town has gone missing on its way home from school. Someone just called the police, saying they saw the bus on the road leading into the mountains, and it was full of children."

Li Tuantuan's hands, which were still typing on the keyboard, abruptly stopped in mid-air.

School bus?

child?

Going into the mountains?

This is no small matter, just a war of words online. This is a matter of life and death!

He abruptly stood up, and in that instant, the lazy,憨厚 (honest and simple), even slightly sleazy panda aura vanished completely. In its place was a chilling, murderous aura, as if a sleeping ancient beast had opened its eyes.

[Li Tuantuan's inner monologue]: "Human traffickers? Or kidnappers? Doing something to my child on my turf? These beasts have really gone too far... no, they've really hit rock bottom."

He didn't even glance at the expensive keyboard he had just bought, which had taken a lot of effort to acquire. He kicked the obstructing stool away and strode towards the door.

Lin Wan froze for a moment, then reacted, grabbing the car keys and pistol from the table and shouting at Li Tuantuan's retreating figure, "Gun Gun! Grab your gear! This time... we might have to fight to the death!"

When Li Tuantuan turned around, her gaze in that instant was as firm as a rock.

Desperately?

No.

This time, it's about taking lives.
