Fangzheng was stunned . . . He never expected the augmentation from back then had given him this many benefits . The cell phone was not only a tool for communication, it was a tool for education . With the cell phone, he could read more free Buddhist scriptures . However, he never expected the cell phone to become this powerful after the augmentation . It could even crack world-class viruses .
Fangzheng asked, "System, can I help others crack the virus?"
"Yes, your cell phone has a voice assistant . It does not have any feelings of its own but will typically be able to recognize the average command . For example, remove a particular virus or target a set system . " said the System .
Fangzheng opened the voice assistant .
"Dear User, hello there . How can I help?"
"Help me remove all viruses and unlock the computers in Germany's St . Mary Hospital, Russia's Fyodorovskaya Clinic and Switzerland's Davos Hospital . Also, send the address of the attacker to the nearest police station . "
"Understood . Please hold . "
Currently in Germany's St . Mary Hospital .
"Four million US dollars? Why don't they just rob someone? Wait they are robbing somebody, ME!!" roared the director angrily .
"Director, we can't delay any longer . A few patients are in urgent need of surgery but . . . Sigh . " A doctor ran over and urged him anxiously .
"I know but what about the money? Where do I get it? We wouldn't be fast enough even if we raised the money!" The director tugged at his hair, causing a few strands to fall off . He was truly anxious .
In a particular underground room in Europe's Birmingham, United Kingdom .
"Raising the money is your problem . If someone dies, it's his problem . It has nothing to do with me . I want money . Without the money, I won't unlock it for you . Believe me, if the money doesn't come, only more will die . You do not have much time left . " David's eyes were red as he had a warped sense of excitement on his face .
"You can't do that . Those people are innocent . If all you want is money why kill them?!" replied the director .
"Perhaps but don't you think this is exciting? I like this virus . It makes me feel like I exist . I feel like I'm a god ruling over life and all of you are my sheep,"
"You lunatic!" cursed the director . Just as the director was at a loss, the red screen in front of him suddenly vanished!
"Oh? What happened?" The director was taken aback .
"Director, it has been cleared . All the locks on the documents have been removed!" cried a technician excitedly .
"Did I strike his conscience through my scolding? It looks like I didn't study psychology for nothing . . . " said the balding white-haired director with a chuckle .
As he laughed, someone else was going mad .
"How can that be possible? My mutated Redstorm got removed by someone? How is that possible?" David jumped up and smashed his keyboard .
There was a loud violent bang from his door . Two policemen entered with guns raised . They shouted, "Freeze, don't move . Put your hands where I can see them!"
David turned his head and roared angrily, "Scram! Get out of my house!"
"Silence, don't move! F**king freeze!" cursed a policeman .
David went crazy as he kept shouting . He picked up a stool and made to throw it .
David went crazy as he kept shouting . He picked up a stool and made to throw it .
Bang! Bang!
Two gunshots sounded as David fell silent . He slumped to the ground, body covered in blood . However, he was still laughing . "I'm god . . . god . . . "
"Instruction completed," said the voice assistant five minutes later .
Fangzheng said, "Phew . . . that's good . System, does that count as me saving people? Is there a prize?"
"Someone died because of you and someone lived because of you . Do you think you should be rewarded?" asked the System .
Fangzheng was stunned . "What do you mean? Who died because of me?"
"Read the news tomorrow and you will know the answer," said the System before it disappeared .
Fangzheng was dumbfounded . What was going on? He did not know that David died not long after the instruction was completed .
When he picked up his cell phone, the hacker was still sending him messages, inquiring about the situation .
Fangzheng replied, "You found the wrong guy . "
Fangzheng instructed the voice assistant to not accept anymore communication requests from them . Fangzheng sat down under the bodhi tree and pondered over the question . He had no idea who died because of him . He just couldn't figure it out .
Fangzheng shook his head and returned to his quarters to sleep .
The next day at dawn, Fangzheng took out his cell phone to check the news . The headlines had changed! It was still red but it looked celebratory! There was a long line of text!

"The creator of the ransomware virus, David Lauen has been found . He resisted arrest, was shot twice, and died on the spot . According to sources, David Lauen suffered from severe clinical depression and paranoia . He was also a programming madman . . . "
"He's dead?" Fangzheng was stunned before he sighed . He pressed his palms together, "Amitabha . "
Although someone had died because of Fangzheng, he was surprised that his conscience did not feel pricked . It was completely different from what he imagined . He continued reading the news . . .
"It's a miraculous crack of a criminal case . According to Germany's St . Mary Hospital, Russia's Fyodorovskaya Clinic, and Switzerland's Davos Hospital, they were rendered helpless against the demands . All the hospital's had a few patients in critical condition that needed treatment . If everything had gone as normal, these people would likely have been in danger . The locks were miraculously released . "
According to United Kingdom's Birmingham's police chief, they suddenly received an anonymous email that forcibly displayed itself on the computer monitors . "The information indicated the location of the ransomware creator . We originally investigated it skeptically and never expected to crack the case . God must have been watching over us . Thank you to the white hacker for their aid!"
As he continued scrolling, he saw messages of the severely ill patients and their families . There wasn't a lot but Fangzheng felt his heart burn up .
"Although I do not know who you are, you gave me hope in life . Thank you . "
"Thank you for saving my husband . Heavens, I do not know what would have happened to my family without him . It's too frightening an idea . . . "
"Thank you, thank you very much . I can dance again . "
"Thank you . "
. . .
After seeing the messages, Fangzheng smiled happily . When he read the end, his smile turned cold .
It was David Lauen's history . He lived in a family that suffered domestic abuse . His father was an alcoholic and would beat his mother daily . Finally, David witnessed his father killing his own mother! David's father ended up in jail and David was given a new guardian by the court .

From that day forth, David became depressed and introverted . He was on his computer daily and wrote code that his foster parents could not understand .
At twelve, his foster parents tried to encourage David to have fun outside and escape his psychological scars . They did so by hiding his computer, that day David's foster parents died from food poisoning . David narrowly escaped death when he was revived in the hospital .
At sixteen, David quit school and seldom went out, staying at home . Later that year, he became the champion of a programming contest in the United Kingdom .
At eighteen, he wrote a hacking script and successfully infiltrated a company in the United Kingdom . He ended up imprisoned .
He was released five years later but the company had already gone bankrupt . The reason was that its funds had been transferred, causing a liquidity crisis . Debtors hounded them for payment but they failed to identify the culprit .

Upon reading this, Fangzheng put away his cell phone and left his room . He came to the temple hall and pressed his palms together . He bowed at the Ten Thousand Buddha plaque . "Amitabha . To kill is to not to kill, not killing is to kill! Killing a person is a sin while saving a person is meritorious . To kill one person to save many people, the merit gained far exceeds the sin . Killing can be meritorious! But wantonly using killing is a sin . There is righteousness in the world and law among humans . Everything abides by law and karma . This Penniless Monk is guilt-free . Amitabha! System, I want my prize . "
"Congratulations on obtaining the divine power, Wisdom Eye . It allows you to see the merits and negative karma of a person . "
"Uh? Merits and negative karma? Is it used to distinguish good people from bad?"
"You can understand it like that but the usage is not limited to these simple things . You can figure it out yourself . "
Fangzheng rubbed his nose and said wryly, "You sure are an irresponsible System . Then, let me ask you an honest question . If I were to say that killing a person is a sin, is there a prize?"
