Chapter One: In five minutes, you will be arrested by the FBI special police!

“This station reports that just now, a serious murder case occurred in an entire apartment building in a district in the Bronx.

“A total of 139 residents in the apartment building were all dead. Their bodies were all dismembered. The entire corridor of the building and the rooms were already filled with rivers of blood. The scene was quite bloody.

“According to our understanding, most of the residents in the apartment are old people and children. Our preliminary judgment is that the murderer is a cold-blooded and heartless psychopath.

“The apartment in the neighborhood has been sealed off by the police. We would like to remind the public to stay away from the neighborhood during normal times to ensure their personal safety.”

…

World Trade Center, New York.

In a bright office, there were seven or eight long, white desks.

On the desks were about thirty or forty desktop computers, all of which were from two years ago.

However, only one of these computers was still working.

In front of the computer, Peter’s hands were typing rapidly on the keyboard.

At 8 am this morning, he was going to give the code to the company.

A few minutes later, after Peter finished typing another line of code, he breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair.

He was only two more cycles away from completing the code.

At the moment, his face was dark, his hair was fluffy, and his eyes were bloodshot.

He was wearing a black shirt that he had not changed in almost a week, and a pair of white cropped shorts. He looked very disheveled.

He had been working through the night for half a month in order to complete the code.

Peter looked at the time. There were five hours left until 8 am.

Under normal circumstances, he could finish the remaining two cycles in an hour.

However, even if he finished the code, he still had to test if there was a bug.

If there was a bug, he still had to check it line by line and then change it all to make sure there was no problem.

When the test was fine, he could go to sleep.

“Should I order take-out first?”

Peter took out his phone and searched around the nearby food stores that were still open.

Finally, he ordered a KFC spicy chicken burger set.

Just as he hung up the phone, a cold electronic voice suddenly sounded in Peter’s ear.

[The incident has begun.]

[In five minutes, you will be arrested by the FBI special police. Please begin your escape as soon as possible!]

Peter was stunned for a moment.

“Am I hearing things? Escape? Am I being arrested? Are you kidding me?”

Peter smiled bitterly. He felt that he must have been working overtime during this period of time, causing him to hear things that weren’t right.

“Sure enough, programming is a profession that speeds up death. I’m so young, yet I’m already hearing things that aren’t right.”

Peter smiled self-deprecatingly and shook his head.

“Sir, your takeout is here.”

After Peter typed a few dozen lines of code, the delivery guy in the yellow takeout jacket placed the takeout beside Peter’s desk.

“You’re still working so late? Tough job.”

The delivery guy took a look at Peter’s computer interface and said with deep sympathy.

“You too, it must be hard on you, ” Peter replied with a smile.

He planned to finish this cycle before eating. It would probably take about five minutes.

However, at this time, a cold electronic voice rang in Peter’s ear again.

[There are still two minutes before you are arrested by the FBI special police.]

This time, Peter was sure that he did not hear wrongly.

There was really a voice ringing in his ear.

Peter was so scared that he immediately stood up and looked around.

In the huge office, he was alone.

The delivery guy had left for two minutes.

And the second to last person to leave the company should be an employee from the planning department who had left an hour ago.

In other words, in the past few minutes, no one had spoken in his ear.

Was he going to be arrested in two minutes, or was he an FBI special agent?

Peter’s mind was blank.

“Are you kidding me? What did I do wrong? Why are you arresting me?”

Peter’s mind spun rapidly as he recalled the past twenty years of his life.

He was sure that he had never done anything against the law or morals.

Even in his dreams, Peter was definitely a good citizen!

Not only that, Peter thought that he was a very caring person.

He helped the old man cross the road.

He gave up his seat on the subway for the old man, pregnant woman, and children.

He would never throw rubbish, even in a remote and deserted place.

He was very polite to everyone, even the beggars on the roadside.

The more he recalled his past, the more Peter felt that there was no possibility of him being arrested at all.

So, Peter quickly continued to type the code. He wanted to finish the code as soon as possible and go back to bed early.

However, the next second, there came a loud sound!

The office door was suddenly pushed open with a “Bang!” and fell to the ground, raising a large amount of dust!

At the same time, the glass of the window suddenly shattered!
