That night, Fang Chi received a call from his mother:

"The new job assigned to you is supposed to start tomorrow."

"Okay."

"That's hanging."

"Good night."

There was a "tick tick" sound on the other side of the phone, and my mother really hung up the phone perfectly. She still uses an Internet phone to call, and even if Fang Chi checks the call records here, it is difficult to locate the source of the call. Since the death of her father, my mother has always maintained this vigilance, and even the conversations with her are only a few words. Sooner or later, Fang would have gotten used to it.

Before going to sleep, she couldn't help but log in to Maandala again, wanting to see if Avatar was online, but the account name on the virtual dialogue system was still grayed out.

"I'll check it out later...... Hmm,The backend records on our side show that the last and only login of しと was the one you told me,April 7th。 ”

Reboot's glowing Avatar projection was only moving his head and his body stiff - apparently he was lying on the bed, too lazy to wear a full-body force feedback device, wearing only virtual reality glasses.

It could be a cooling-off period. Generally speaking, after people make mistakes and are caught, they will instinctively choose to silence for a while, either in an attempt to correct it, or in order to avoid the limelight, in general, they are seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. It's like a child who is caught by a teacher being late for school, and then he can be on time for a week; If the thief is caught by the police, he will be able to behave for more than half a month. This is a cooling-off period.

"Do you need me to freeze しと's account?" Reboot asked Fang Chi.

"Don't." Fang Chi shook his head and said. Suddenly, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind, "You say freeze? ”

"yes." Reboot was a little puzzled, "The Avatar of しと is fraudulently used, this is an abnormal activity account, and I have the right to freeze the lock." ”

"No......" Fang Chi thought hard, trying to grasp the thought just now, "You guys...... What is the auto-death time for an account set by your Maandala? ”

"Auto-die? Oh, I see. If an account is not logged in for a long time, for more than six months, the system will die by default and be sent to the cemetery. ”

Fang Chi quickly flipped through the calendar. She noticed two dates -

April 7 happened to be six months after Sheng Yan's death.

April 2 is the time for the Cyber Security Bureau to officially release the "Fox Hunt" report to the public. Because of the long-term debate, investigation and coordination arrangements within the Cyber Security Bureau, the release of this report was delayed for a long time. In this report, the timing of the fox hunt and the circumstances of Sheng Yan and her death were made public for the first time.

Reboot apparently reacted as well, and his avatar opened his mouth and let out a mechanical, trembling voice:

"That person logged in to Sheng Yan's Maandala account to keep しと alive!"

Yes. It was no accident that the person chose to log in to しと's Avatar on April 7th.

Fang Chi remembered it clearly. April 2nd was the Qingming Festival, and her mother took her and her sister Fang Yuan to Lengquan Cemetery to pay tribute to her father, accompanied by He Xinyi, just in case her love got out of control. On that day, the communiqué of the Cyber Security Bureau came out, and the entire network was in a sensation. She sat in the car, and all the way she saw that all the big electronic screens on the street were broadcasting the news.

No matter how much a person lives alone and escapes the world, it is unlikely that he will be able to escape the news bombardment of that day. In today's world, information is almost everywhere.

So she had enough reason to deduce that that person, on April 2, knew the exact date of Sheng Yan's death.

So why didn't that person log in to しと's Avatar before April 7th?

Is it because it hasn't been cracked yet, so you can't log in? The number of logins in the background of the Reboot call jù shows that Sheng Yan's account has not been cracked multiple times. The login on April 7 was a successful vein verification.

So that person was able to log in to しと's Avatar before, but never tried it. On the day of April 7th, that person will probably finally make up his mind to log in to しと's Avatar and keep it active.

So why did that person do it? Reboot also applied to check the wealth account records of しと and found that after しと's Avatar was logged in, there was no inflow or outflow of funds.

It seems that the person used the Avatar of しと.,Just went to the "Monopoly" to go shopping.,Didn't even buy a silver coin.。

What a simple person.

But it doesn't seem so simple. When Maandala was first founded, Sheng Yan was still a graduate student, and students always had great curiosity about new things and had enough time to try them. So he registered Maandala for the first time, and しと became one of the earliest Avatars on Maandala.

Sheng Yan is a person with personality and extremely smart. He follows every function update of Maandala, and he also has his own unique set of ways to play Maandala, such as his strangely long and jet-black knife, how to summon, how to play various functions, and how to change, all of which are a set of "Sheng's" operation methods designed by him.

You must know that the average player who plays weapons only uses the default functions on Maandala.

That person logged in to the Avatar of しと for the first time, and he was able to operate that knife proficiently, and Fang Chi thought that even if he was himself, he might not be able to do it.

So who is that person? What is the relationship with Sheng Yan?

On the way to work, Fang Chi kept thinking about this matter. She even sorted out all the people in Sheng Yan's interpersonal relationships, but none of them could fit the "しと" she saw that day.

She was slightly disappointed. Could it be that Sheng Yan has any friends she doesn't know?

Or are those two completely different faces in the virtual world and in the real world? This is common, but it makes it harder to determine......

When he was about to arrive at Yan University, Fang Chi suddenly received a message from Reboot:

"Ahh!!h I saw the real person of Guest!!!! ”

Fang Chi was confused and replied: "Real person? ”

"No, no, no! Avatar！！！ ”

"Snort."

"Ahhh In Maandala, the probability of celebrities going online every day is 84.6%, so as a person with the identity of a Maandala administrator, as long as you want to see stars, you can see them at any time! But what about Guest?! Do you know! In the past three years, he went online once in the first year, 11 minutes and 23 seconds. In the second year, it was launched four times, each time in less than five minutes. In the third year, last year, he went online three times, one of which took less than a minute!! What does this mean? It takes 15 seconds for my brother to shuttle through as an administrator, and he will go offline if he speaks quickly, and he will go offline if he says less than 135 words! You say, the probability of seeing his Avatar is not low, low is not low! You just say low! No! Low! ”

"Oh."

", forget it. You don't understand my brother's girlish heart! ”

"What is Guest doing online this time?"

"It doesn't seem like this launch is about cybersecurity breaches. I found him at the Food and Drug Administration. He posted an announcement there, saying that a blood product company ......called 'Ruixue Changsheng' illegally collected blood, and the blood products produced may contain viruses, which is dangerous to the safety of patients, and asked the Food and Drug Administration to investigate. ”

Blood product ...... For some reason, Fang Chi suddenly remembered the little boy named Ding Ai. If he does have hemophilia, he should also need this type of blood product.

Over there, Reboot was still gushing excitedly: "Emma, brother entered Maandala too late and missed the active period of the Guest. You know where the best thing about Guest is, right? There is no system in the world that he can't break through! Damn, envy! Eat one's heart out! But not only has my brother never seen his sassy and heroic appearance in cracking the system, but he hasn't even seen his Avatar with his own eyes! This time, my brother swore that he must go to see what he looks like, if he has never eaten pork, he must have seen a pig run, right? Fortunately, my brother had made all the preparations before, and the autograph book was always on his body. Brother used the administrator's shuttle privilege to 'whoosh' and passed, and Brother said, Guest, sign for me! ……”

"Signed?"

"I didn't sign it, he said he didn't bring a pen. Then it went offline with a 'whoosh'. ”

"So what are you doing?"

"He's talking to me!! I heard him! You're young! Sounds good! Hey, you say, are people with good voices often very handsome? ”

Not wanting to remind him that the Guest's voice might have been changed by the sound synthesizer, Fang Chi was silent for a while and said:

"Reboot, I think you have a tendency to come out. If you do come out, I support you. ”
