Chapter 165 The Ghost in the Hard Drive
On the day Chen Xin came back from the underworld, he went to Sanshan Village in reality again and used the "Soul Calling" on the pig cage for the second time.

Originally Chen Xin was worried that the second use might not be effective, but it turned out to be successful.

Immediately, he replaced the soul of a water ghost in the mourning staff.

Unfortunately, when Chen Xin killed the replaced soul with the staff of sorrow, he did not get any Yinde points.

This also shows that the souls summoned by the mourning staff are different in nature from normal ghosts.

Chen Xin didn't understand the principle behind this.

After Brother Wu and his family were reunited, Chen Xin asked Huang Ying to search the river for a long time, but did not find anything unusual.

Afterwards, Chen Xin went to Lihua Village again and talked with the old people in the village about the river in front of Sanshan Village.

But when they heard the three words "Sanshan Village", the originally kind faces of the old people changed.

They either ignored Chen Xin or simply turned around and left, which made Chen Xin's plan to understand those water ghosts go awry.

The next day after returning to school, Chen Xin put Huang Ying into the ceiling mezzanine of Li Changsheng's secret room.

The secret rooms in the escape room shops are compartments built in a huge space. There is a distance of about thirty to forty centimeters between the top plate of the compartment and the real ceiling.

Li Changsheng did not do anything else with this part of the space.

When Chen Xin came to play in the secret room before, he saw the situation at the top of the corridor, so he just happened to release the yellow baby.

Not long after the Yellow Infant was thrown over, Chen Xin found the secret room where [Revenge] was located, and then used a "bewitching spell" on the players in that secret room.

Chen Xin couldn't really control the consciousness of these players through 'Bewitching Soul', he just spread the real things he knew into the consciousness of those players through 'Bewitching Soul'.

As for how the players digested these things and what they "saw", Chen Xin actually didn't know, and he couldn't control the consciousness of these players.

This is a small regret.

However, the subsequent results told Chen Xin that everything was going according to his plan.

Originally, Chen Xin had prepared to let Huang Ying stay on the top of the secret room for a day or two, but he did not expect Li Changsheng to come that afternoon.

Then, Chen Xin arranged for Li Changsheng to meet with Brother Wu and his wife.

And because Brother Wu and his wife were no longer conscious, Chen Xin could only use Brother Wu and his wife's abilities to have an intimate contact with Li Changsheng.

Therefore, Li Changsheng’s death has nothing to do with Chen Xin.

At least that's what Chen Xin thought.

……

After letting the fellow villagers meet each other, Chen Xin turned his attention to the hard drive in his dormitory.

As for the Sanshan Underworld headquarters, Chen Xin has also been paying attention to it.

The way to pay attention is through the dark raccoon figurines.

Because the frequency of use of the Nether Raccoon Figurine is very low, Chen Xin directly placed it at the entrance of the "Three Mountains Headquarters of the Underworld" and used it directly as an "eye position".

From time to time, Chen Xin would lower his gaze to the Nether Lizard Figurine to observe the situation of the river.

As long as the blood doesn't come back again, nothing will happen.

In the dormitory.

Chen Xin opened the dressing box that he had taken from the secret room. Chen Xin did not expect that the box he had taken was actually a Yin object that could block out Yin energy.

From the box, Chen Xin took out the not-so-clean hard drive.

Feeling the chill coming from the hard drive, Chen Xin was also thinking about something.

When Chen Xin followed Chai Ruobing to obtain the hard drive, he was very interested in this hard drive ghost.

He didn't dare say that he had seen many ghosts, but he had seen people, animals, and plants. However, this was the first time he had seen a ghost that could move on the Internet.

Of course, curiosity is only one of the reasons.

Another reason is that Chen Xin feels that the hard drive ghost’s abilities are very suitable for the current underworld organization!
After all, using black sticky notes to deliver messages, although it looks "rustic", is indeed a bit inconvenient.

So Chen Xin thought about controlling the ghost in this hard drive.

At that time, Chen Xin's idea was to use the mourning stick and the paper fibers on the stick to collect the ghost in the hard drive. In this way, he might be able to obtain the abilities of the hard drive ghost.

However, Chen Xin didn't have the energy to do this at the time, so it was temporarily shelved.

It seems fortunate that it has been shelved now, otherwise if the hard drive ghost was captured with the grieving stick, Chen Xin might not get what he wanted.

The ghost characteristics of the ghosts contained in the mourning staff and paper will be integrated into the "wailing sound", and the "wailing sound" will add these characteristics to the target in the form of negative effects.

For example, 'bewitched' and 'drowning'.

In addition, the staff of mourning will also gain a special ability from the ghost, such as undercurrent or wood control.

If the hard drive ghost is captured, what negative effects will appear in the "wailing" sound?
'Large capacity'?
Chen Xin couldn't imagine it.

He could think of some special abilities he had gained, such as power outages or account theft?
Chen Xin didn't think he could acquire the ability of the hard drive ghost to directly control the computer and communicate with people, because this ability was too sophisticated.

Ai Zhang, or Chen Xin, cannot perform this ability.

Besides this there is another reason.

Chen Xin thought about it later and it seemed that the ghost in the hard drive... had its own consciousness!

This kind of consciousness is not like Brother Wu's "rules of killing" or obsession, but a human way of thinking.

For example, what Chai Ruobing said when chatting with it.

That's not the way a ghost should think.

Unless the ghost uses abilities such as "blinding eyes" and "bewitching souls", combined with the patient's own associations, a more realistic scene can be constructed.

But at that time, there was no such situation. Therefore, Chen Xin felt that it would not work to obtain the ability of this hard drive ghost.

Since the cane doesn't work, there is only one way left.

Communicate with the hard drive ghost!
Thinking of this, Chen Xin placed the hard drive ghost on the table and turned on the computer.

Start the computer, enter the password, and enter the home page.

Before Chen Xin could do anything, a chat box popped up.

「Unknown User 1: Who are you?」

"Unknown User 1: Why did you lock me up for so long?"

"Unknown User 1: Don't want your account anymore!"

Looking at the message in the dialog box, Chen Xin began typing in the input box.

"Unknown User 2: I'm not connected to the internet."

"Unknown User 1: ...Don't want the 'learning materials' on your computer!"

「Unknown User 2: There is no video resource on my computer」

"Unknown User 1: ...Are you a eunuch?"

"Unknown User 2: No, I just want to talk to you."

"Unknown User 1: Is this true? I have tried looking for others before, but they were all scared away by me. Sigh, although I don't want to admit it, I seem to have really become a ghost..."

"Unknown User 2: Don't you know how you became like this?"

"Unknown User 1: I don't know. I'm just a fat otaku who likes to stay at home. The last scene in my memory was just a black screen before my eyes. When I woke up again, I had become like this."

Looking at these words of the hard drive ghost, Chen Xin has confirmed that this hard drive ghost definitely has human consciousness.

A ghost with human consciousness?

This... I haven't heard my uncle mention it!
After sorting out his thoughts, Chen Xin started chatting with the hard drive ghost again.

"Unknown User 2: Your real body is that hard drive, but I didn't plug you into the computer. How can you hack into my computer?"

“Unknown User 1: I don’t know. As long as there is a powered-on computer, I can get in… I’m not a programmer, but I can control everything on the computer without any code.”

"Unknown User 2: Is that so..."

Chen Xin was a little excited. This ability was indeed a very good ability for Chen Xin.

Chen Xin only needs to find a talisman that can hold the hard drive and then place it in the home of a member of the underworld.

In this way, he can communicate with members of the underworld through the ability of the hard drive ghost.

Chen Xin didn't believe that chatting with ghosts could be seen by those network security experts!

"Unknown User 2: I have something I want to discuss with you."

「Unknown User 1: What’s up?」

"Unknown User 2: I can meet some of your requests in the future, such as chatting, visiting your home, or helping your family materially. I can do all of these... but in return, you have to do some things for me."

"Unknown User 1: ...You didn't lie to me. Will you really help me take care of my family?"

"Unknown User 2: As long as your family is still around and I can find them, I will keep my promise, but my ability is limited and I need time to earn material things."

「Unknown User 1: OK, what do you want me to do?」

"Unknown User 2: Not yet. Can you tell me about your family situation and I'll look for it first?"

"Unknown User 1: My home is in Fenying City..."

Chen Xin wrote down the Hard Drive Ghost’s home address, and after chatting for a while, Chen Xin, to the Hard Drive Ghost’s dissatisfaction, put him back into the dressing box that could block negative energy.

After the chat box disappeared, Chen Xin put away the smile on his face.

After this contact, it turned out that the Hard Drive Ghost's mind was not complicated. Just as the Hard Drive Ghost said, he was really just a fat otaku.

But Chen Xin couldn't completely trust him. After all, what he was going to do was not something that could be seen in public.

If I were really fooled by this guy and he revealed Chen Xin's affairs to others, that would be a lot of fun.

"So, it would be better to find the hard drive ghost's family first. If we find their weak spot, we can use both kindness and force..."

Chen Xin looked at the address again and then put the note away.

Don't be in a hurry about this matter.

Chen Xin turned on the computer and browsed the "Night Talk Folk Customs Forum".

During this period, he took a fancy to several posts, but due to the situation at the Banyan Tree, he did not edit them for the time being.

In order to build Sanshan Village into the residence of the underworld, Chen Xin should be looking for a talisman similar to "Brother Chicken" to protect the house.

It would be great if we could find a talisman that could suppress an entire village.

If not, then you need to find a simple to make talisman.

In this way, Chen Xin can bring the materials for production into the underworld through Huang Ying, and make talismans in the underworld, thus solving the problem of scope with quantity.

With this in mind, Chen Xin devoted his energy to the posts on the forum, looking for possible information about talismans.

For this reason, Chen Xin is no longer limited to posts of the day, and posts from the past week are all within his selection range.

Soon, Chen Xin saw a post that was published two days ago.

There was also a forum boss in the comment section of the post, but the comment he posted was not about the talisman for Sanshan Village that Chen Xin was looking for, but a talisman that might be related to the hard drive ghost!
