The dark web is essentially a hidden network. Normally, the average person can't access it through means like searching; it usually requires specific software, network configurations, or designated authorized addresses to access.
The biggest characteristic of the dark web is its concealment, so a lot of illegal and criminal activities use the dark web to conduct transactions or provide information. This includes not only transactions of various illegal devices and weapons but also pornography, gambling, drugs, personal information, etc. It's basically a hodgepodge black market.
The dark web has always been an area of focus for surveillance by the FBI and other agencies. But the dark web is dark precisely because no one provides clues for addresses and access information, making it hard to find.
Even if someone provides an address, entering is also difficult because the dark web is typically accessed through multiple proxies, and at least one or two proxies are located outside regulatory reach, making further investigation difficult.
This time, Mahong and his team were quite lucky; they found a connected seller, caught a lead on the dark web, and pulled out a massive case, which added a lot of work pressure to other teams.
The murder case that Jimmy and his team are dealing with is actually snuff videos sold on the dark web. Some people are into this stuff, and they generally don't have a very normal psyche.
Mahong spoke about cases like child pornography at the end, and the cybercrime investigation team is probably overwhelmed, as those cases are tough to tackle. The key is, most of the time, they can't identify the people involved. Kids grow up too quickly, and change too much. Without clear leads, it often ends up being a waste of manpower.
Cases regarding drug or gun smuggling and sales will also be delegated to the appropriate teams for handling. This one dark web case will likely involve several teams working overtime. It's just uncertain how many people other teams will assign to handle it.
The task of investigating the leads is handed to Mark and Julia. Jimmy still plans, as before, to make sure they can solve some cases on their own before his wedding so that he can take a vacation in peace.
Letting Mark rest for a bit, they continued watching videos. Jimmy returned to his own seat, pondering the new skill he discovered. It was clear his Heart Eye skill had improved. Before, he could only see the weaknesses of resentful spirits, but now it seemed he could see entities too. The question was, could he only see those possessed by an Evil Spirit?
Jimmy looked at Mark and Julia from behind, switched to Heart Eye Vision but didn't find any bright spots. He thought about the stress from the previous day, kept his mind highly focused, and now he only had himself to rely on.
Jimmy focused on the top of Mark's head, observed carefully for a while, and finally, a bright spot appeared, and it was a giant one, covering almost his entire head.
Jimmy was directly shocked; it was the first time he'd seen such a bright spot on a regular person.
Mark suddenly shivered, "What's going on?" He looked around but didn't notice anything wrong, and continued watching the video with Julia.
Jimmy frowned. What was going on? Did Mark discover something? Or did focusing his attention when observing startle the target?
He looked at Mark and said, "Mark! Can you stand up?... Yeah... turn around, slowly."
Mark turned his head perplexed, looked at Jimmy, obediently stood up, turned around bit by bit with his back to Jimmy, "What's up?"
Jimmy: "Well, nice figure. I'll introduce you to a tailor later so you can custom-make a couple of suits."
Mark was speechless: "Just for that? Of course, I have handmade suits, but wearing them while working is a waste, so I don't wear them. Anything else?"
Julia was already watching them while Jimmy was speaking, listening to this conversation and chuckling, "Yang, is there some task?"
Jimmy: "Ah, nothing's certain yet. I'll notify you when it's settled. How about you, Julia?"
Julia: "What occasion? As long as it's not an evening gown, I should be good."
Jimmy: "OK, get to work."
Mark sat down again, continued watching the videos with Julia. The reason they watched together was to hopefully observe different things from the same angles in the videos, and remind each other. If they watched the videos alone, many scenes would be overlooked, and nobody would remind them.
Jimmy switched his focus to Julia, testing his theory on both of them.
There were several bright spots on Mark, both big and small. The two biggest weren't even bright spots—they were bright patches, over his head and heart. Julia had the same, suggesting that these bright spots indeed indicate lethal weaknesses. And based on the threat level to life from these weaknesses, the size of the bright spots varies too.
In the past, when observing resentful spirits, there wasn't much difference in the size of the bright spots, so that situation wasn't noticed then. Now this upgrade seemed to be very beneficial to him. Even with ordinary people, he could choose where to fire, and as long as he was careful, he wouldn't accidentally kill someone.
Jimmy sat there contemplating his abilities. To be more accurate, he seemed to need to observe more people. From a physical fitness perspective, both Mark and Julia were already quite good. He wondered how it would be with ordinary people.
Moreover, when Jimmy had been staring at Mark from behind, Mark shivered, indicating that his Sixth Sense was still quite strong. Generally, people wouldn't have such a strong reaction. If this reaction occurred when he observed others, it indicated that it was an inherent problem of his ability.
