At this moment, Aurous Hill.
A man donning a face mask appeared at the subway station near Treasure Pavilion.
There were many security cameras in the subway station. Some were security footages, and some were the city’s Skynet monitoring. There were also some newly added high-end cameras equipped with facial recognition ability. 3
All these years, with the advancement in technology, facial recognition had emerged successfully from science fiction movies into the lives of normal human beings.
Not only were phones able to support facial recognition, more importantly, the police also had a huge amount of data that was closely related to the facial recognition system.
The biggest advantage of this system was the speed at which the system conducted a mass screening.
For example, assuming hundreds of people walked head-on and there was a fugitive in the mix. By relying on only one police officer to examine every person one by one, the efficiency was not only low, but it was also more likely for an error to occur. 2
However, with the existence of facial recognition, even if hundreds of people walked past speedily, the system would still be able to capture the faces and ascertain the identities of all those people.
At the same time, the system would immediately verify the identity of those hundreds of people. If there were fugitives and suspects in the crowd, the police would be alerted by the system in the shortest amount of time. 5
A typical example was a concert that had been held in Oskia where a famous Hong Kong singer had performed. At every concert, the police would always b e able to catch a few fugitives from among the tens of thousands of people in the crowd.
Why was it so efficient?
It all depended on the powerful function of face recognition! 3
Hence, with the advancement of technology, the probability of criminals attempting to escape legal action was getting smaller and smaller. 3
At this moment, the man with a mask looked around his surroundings. Then, he reached out into his pocket and pulled out a very withered and wrinkled box of cigarettes.
He tore the cigarette box apart and realized that there was not even a single cigar in there. So, he strode to the mobile convenience store in the subway station. I n a low voice, he said to the boss, "Give me a packet of
cigarettes."
The boss hurriedly asked, "Soft or hard?"
The man answered, "Soft."
