Find out Zishan

So far, all the truth is still just speculation, and the doubts of the photo have not been solved, and I am afraid that these things can only be understood by finding Zishan, to be precise, by finding Xia Weiyi's ghost.

But that's the most troublesome and dangerous thing to do.

As the train from Bengbu to Shanghai moved forward at a constant speed, Xiao Nuo sat on the hard seat, peeling apples and asking, "So...... How do we find the ghost of Zishan? ”

"Go find it on the Internet."

Ma Ming replied that he was looking out the window boredly, and reading a book in the car would make him motion sick, and long-distance travel was the biggest pain for such a book-loving person.

"It's unbelievable that there are ghosts in such a high-tech thing as the Internet."

"There's nothing strange about that. Ghosts usually cling to something very important in life, such as a comb, a mirror, a willow tree, and the like. Since Zishan became obsessed with the Internet during his lifetime, it is not strange to become a ghost and rely on the Internet or QQ. ”

“…… But ............"

"You also know the principle of the computer, in the final analysis, the computer program is just a combination of the two 1 and 0 states of the circuit "on" and "off". Ghosts, on the other hand, are nothing more than the product of a staggered combination of positively and negatively charged particles. In this sense, there is not much difference between the two. You think of ghosts as a kind of program, and you can easily understand the behavior that can run rampant on the Internet through QQ, which is similar to a computer virus, in fact. ”

"There's one more thing I can't figure out...... "Nuo asked, tilting his head, "that ...... There are more than a billion people in the world who use the Internet, so how did the ghost of Nazishan find the other four people, and if the target of its revenge was the members of the Remnant Star Tower, then why was even me attacked? ”

"Well...... Ma Ming knocked on his temples, thought for a moment, and replied, "I think it's going to wait for the rabbit." ”

"Waiting for the rabbit?"

"Yes, although there are more than one billion people in the world, there are only five people who know the existence of the homepage of the Remnant Star Building, such as Zishan, Jinghong, Shengzhou, Liuli, and Ming. Therefore, Zishan's ghost only needs to reside on the homepage of the Remnant Star Building, lock the people who browse the page and attack it at 12 midnight, because the only people who can browse the page are those five people. ”

"But I ...... too"

"It was an accident...... Before you were attacked by her, you also browsed the homepage of the Remnant Star Building, right? There are two possible conditions for the ghost of Zishan to attack: the page has been viewed, and the viewer's computer is still online at 12 a.m. At present, all the people who have been attacked meet these two conditions, and only Katsushu was killed at 4 a.m. due to the time difference. ”

“…… If we want to find Zishan, we should log on to the homepage at 12 o'clock at midnight to lure her out, right? ”

"No, it's too dangerous, I'm not a Taoist priest or a monk, so I'm completely powerless." Ma Ming spread out his hands, "However, we can try another method...... I'm afraid your classmates are better at this than I am. ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Nuo's eyes widened, Ma Ming smiled, raised his right hand to his eyebrows and snapped his fingers, and said softly: "It's Disc Immortal." ”

Saucer is a quasi-divination activity popular in college dormitories, which is strange and mysterious and slightly dangerous, and is quite popular with college students, especially female college students. The standard game is to prepare a piece of yellow paper, a white candle, three incense sticks, and a porcelain saucer marked with a red arrow. Please fill God's yellow paper with words, and the more words you write, the better. Before opening the altar, you should first burn incense and worship in all directions, and then you should also worship the saucer, because those are the eyes and fingers of the saucer fairy. Next, light the candle, put the saucer upside down on the circle in the middle of the yellow paper, put the index fingers of more than three people up, and read "Saucer Fairy, Saucer Fairy, please come out of the altar", and when the saucer leaves the circle and begins to circle around, the Saucer Fairy is officially invited. It is said that any kind of ghost can be invited, and it is rumored that the magic of the ghost is the highest, so the prediction is the most accurate, but it is also the most dangerous. Once you've asked it questions, be sure to send it away, or you'll be in trouble. The standard practice is to recite silently in the heart, and read out in the mouth, "Saucer Immortal, Saucer Immortal, please come out of the altar." "When the Saucer Immortal returns to the central circle, the whole ceremony will be safely over.

Xiao Nuo has long heard of things like Disc Fairy and Qian Immortal, but he doesn't live in school, so he doesn't have the opportunity to play them, and he is not familiar with them. So when she listened to Cao Fangrui's eyebrows fluttering and finished talking about this big set of rules, she couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Both siblings seem to be well-versed in this type of supernatural stuff.

"Sounds so weird." Arnold said.

"Of course, it's fun, last time Diexian told me that I was from the Tang Dynasty in my previous life."

"It's really fake."

"Faith is spiritual, and unbelief is not."

Cao Fangrui closed her eyes and said mysteriously. As soon as she finished speaking, Ma Ming pushed the door and entered, carrying a plastic bag containing candles, incense and other necessary ritual supplies.

It was Tuesday, July 9th, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Nuo and Ma Ming returned to Shanghai for the second day. Ma Ming knew that it took more than three people to invite such a thing, so he found his cousin Cao Fangrui, who was also Xiaonuo's good friend. Cao Fangrui has played the Saucer Immortal several times, and is more experienced, it is said that she participated in the Saucer Immortal Open Altar, and the Saucer Immortal came very quickly, probably because of the natural physique. Of course, Ma Ming didn't tell her the truth, only that he invited her to play Disc Immortal once.

The opening site was chosen in the house rented by Ma Ming, because no one was in charge here.

But the question is, how to get the ghost of Zishan out of the computer.

"Huh!? Cousin? What about God's yellow paper? What about the saucer with the red arrow? ”

Cao Fangrui opened the plastic bag and found that there was no yellow paper in it that was indispensable for the Saucer Immortal, and shouted. Ma Ming poured a glass of pure water and drank it all, and then replied slowly: "I didn't buy it." ”

"How?! I can't play without that saucer!! ”

"This time I'm going to invite immortals from the computer, of course, it's different from ordinary practices."

Xiao Nuo and Cao Fangrui sat on the bed and watched Ma Ming lying on the floor alone. The candles and incense were arranged in a very orthodox way, but where the yellow paper should have been laid out, he set up a keyboard, and a mouse was placed on the keyboard, and then he turned on the computer as well.

“……………… What are you doing here......"

Cao Fangrui and Xiao Nuo both looked puzzled. Ma Boyong smiled, pointed to this peculiar shape and proudly explained: "The keyboard is instead of yellow paper; The mouse is a saucer that snaps on a piece of yellow paper. In this way, what Diexian wants to say, you can see it directly from the computer. Well, this is an original high-tech disc fairy. ”

"What's weirder than Disc Immortal is my cousin......" Cao Fangrui leaned into Xiao Nuo's ear and whispered, Xiao Nuo nodded with deep feeling.

"I'm going to the bathroom." Cao Fangrui jumped out of bed and ran outside. Taking advantage of her absence, Xiaonuo asked Ma Ming with a little worry, "Is it really safe?" I almost died last time. ”

"No problem, Disc Immortal has its own rules, as long as the altar is still there, it can't do anything to us.

Don't worry, it's okay. “

Ma Ming smiled and patted her on the shoulder.

After the altar was arranged, the three of them went out for dinner, and then came back to play cards for a long time, and watched a few pirated VCDs, until 11:45 that night.

"So...... It's almost time to start. ”

Ma Ming said to the other two people with a serious expression, Cao Fangrui responded with a smile, but Xiao Nuo had a different feeling in her heart, and couldn't help but think of the first time she was attacked by the ghost of Zishan last month. Now, at last, she is getting closer to the truth she has been searching for for a month.

The computer remained online, Ma Ming opened QQ and MSN, and at the same time opened the homepage of the Remnant Star Building, Xiaonuo noticed that MSN was actually online, but he didn't seem to have the intention of talking. The curtains and lights had been turned off, only the light of the computer screen and candlelight remained, and the atmosphere in the room was dark and red, indescribably eerie.

The three of them first bowed to the Quartet, and then to the mouse, and then the three of them put their index fingers on the mouse, and when they saw the time, it was immediately twelve o'clock, so everyone closed their eyes and began to read: "Saucer Immortal, Saucer Immortal, please come out of the altar." ”

After a while, Xiao Nuo felt a chill, and she felt strange, because the doors and windows were closed. She quietly opened her eyes and noticed that the shadow of the candle began to flutter, as if something was moving. She wore Ma Ming's glasses, so she immediately saw a few streaks of ash slowly flowing down the computer case, like a snake slowly sliding across the ground and wrapping around the keyboard and mouse that were yellow paper.

When "Saucer Immortal, Saucer Immortal, please come out of the altar" was read more than twenty times, suddenly the computer's stereo sounded, and it was the kind of QQ "beep" sound that Xiaonuo was very familiar with. When the three of them heard the voice, they all turned their heads to look, only to see an avatar in the lower right corner of the screen beating slowly, this avatar's facial features were chaotic, but the blood red on his face was clear and abnormal, Xiao Nuo would never forget this avatar no matter what. Because it is set in advance, the dialog box of QQ automatically pops up, and there is no QQ name and number as always......

At the same time as the avatar jumped, the index fingers of Xiao Nuo, Ma Ming, and Cao Fangrui all felt that the mouse on the keyboard began to move, and the candle flames around them danced more intensely.

"Are you a god or a ghost......

Cao Fangrui asked softly, this is the first question that needs to be asked after the arrival of the Disc Immortal.

The mouse slowly moved to G, then to U, and finally stopped at I, and the word "ghost" was immediately displayed on the screen in the QQ dialog box.

………………

"The saucer moves so fast, this ghost's mana is not small......"

Cao Fangrui said a little scared.

Xiao Nuo coughed lightly, and asked slowly: "The people in the Remnant Star Tower, are they all killed by you?" ”

The mouse stopped, the wind suddenly became stronger, and the avatar on the screen seemed to be even more hideous. After half a day, the mouse moved again, and this time the order of movement was S, I, D, E" Yes. ”

Cao Fangrui looked at Xiao Nuo in surprise, not knowing why she suddenly asked such a question without a head, while Ma Ming stared at the screen with a silent face next to her.

"Why kill them, you are friends."

"They get in my way"

"What's in your way?"

"Get in the way of me and Shock."

"You ...... They're all girls. ”

"What does it matter, I love her more than any boy." Speaking of which, the flame of the candle jumped.

“…………”

"You're all laughing at me, even Shock."

"Just so you're going to kill them?! Do you love someone!? ”

Xiaonuo couldn't help but stand up and shouted excitedly at the screen. When she got up, she didn't pay attention to her feet, and kicked down the candle beside her, and the candle rolled a few times, and the flame was extinguished.

At this moment, Xiao Nuo saw through his glasses that the gray scale was boiling all at once, and more gray and grime mixed with blood emerged from every crack in the case, and the terrifying avatar slowly grew larger on the screen, and a low moan sounded in the stereo.

"You're all going to die."

The mouse moves wildly across the keyboard and five words are typed out on the screen.

"Oh no...... Kicked down the candle without inviting the saucer fairy...... will be ...... on the upper body" Where would Cao Fangrui expect such a thing, her face was bloodless with fright, and she shouted.

The ghost of Zishan (Xia Weiyi), who has been bound by the altar of the Saucer Immortal, finally has no restrictions and immediately goes berserk. The wind in the room was more urgent, another candle was blown out, the blood from the chassis flowed to the entire floor, and the moans in the stereo became clearer: "...... Let's hit the road...... Let's hit the road...... Let's hit the road...

… Let's hit the road......"

Saying that it was too late, Ma Ming, who had been silent, flew to the keyboard and sent a message to Tiyunzong on MSN at a very fast speed: "Start"

In less than five seconds, Tiyun Zong immediately responded.

Tiyun Vertical would like to send you the file "Prajnaparamita.ram" (56KB). The transmission time with a 56.6 modem is less than 1 minute. Do you want to accept (Alt+T) or decline (Alt+D) the invitation?

Ma Ming picked up the mouse and clicked "Accept", and MSN began to display the file transfer. But in the next moment, Ma Ming felt a huge force rushing towards him from the computer screen, and the miserable cold wind made him shudder, and his hands and feet were almost completely unable to move. He struggled as hard as he could, but to no avail, feeling his body gradually being eroded by something, and he had trouble breathing.

Xiao Nuo reacted at this time, picked up the paper next to the table and buckled it on Ma Ming's head, and the ashes of the Buddhist scriptures prepared in advance in the paper sprinkled on him. He coughed loudly, on the one hand, Zishan's ghost qi was pinching his neck just now and he couldn't breathe, and on the other hand, because the paper ash was really choking.

After such a sudden, Zishan's ghost aura subsided slightly, but soon made a comeback and pounced on the three of them again. At this time, the following words will be displayed on the screen: You have received Prajnaparamita.ram from Tiyunzong, please click on c:mydocumentPrajnaparamita.ram after checking the virus. Click on that!! ”

Ma Ming shouted, Xiao Nuo couldn't take care of it in a hurry, and rushed over with his increasingly stiff body, falling to the ground, his right hand stretched out, just enough to press the left button of the mouse.

The screen froze for two seconds, and then the REALPLAY interface pops up and starts playing Prajnaparamita.ram, which has just been teleported. Zishan's ghostly aura suddenly stopped, and Xiao Nuo heard a burst of female chanting from the stereo, although he couldn't understand what was being recited, but it was extremely comfortable to hear this melody at this time. The sound of this recitation overwhelmed the groans of "Let's go on the road" in the sound, and the ghost energy of the entire Zishan seemed to be suppressed by this voice, frozen in mid-air and motionless.

"Xiaonuo, you go to the door, listen to my signal, and unplug the phone line. Hurry, this RM is only thirty seconds long! ”

Ma Ming got up from the floor and said to her, she crawled to the door, put her hand on the interface of the telephone line, turned her head to look, and found that Ma Ming was close to the chassis, and her whole body was almost covered with dirt, while Cao Fangrui was leaning against the wall motionless, obviously frightened.

RM finished broadcasting quickly, and as soon as the female voice disappeared, the ghost spirit immediately rose again, and the QQ avatar on the screen seemed to crack its mouth and laugh miserably.

"Die!! Die!! ”

"Okay, now, Arnold!" Ma Ming desperately held on to the chassis and shouted desperately. Xiao Nuo ripped the telephone cable from the socket in one go, and then Ma Ming pulled the power cord of the computer down, and the whole computer stopped running at once, and the room fell into dead darkness.

Xiao Nuo breathed a long sigh of relief, and sat down against the door frame with a sour body, sweating profusely. Ma Ming was not idle at this time, he lowered his head with a stiff face and reinstalled the power cord, and then turned on the machine.

"Hey! What are you doing?! Arnold was shocked.

Ma Ming waved her hand weakly, signaling her not to make a sound, and kept holding the F8 button with her right hand. In this way, the computer will automatically enter DOS mode after it is started.

As soon as he saw the C: _ symbol appear, he immediately quickly typed a command: FORMAT C:warning:all data on non-removable disk drive c :will be lose proceed with format(Y/N):_ "snap", Ma Ming hit the enter key heavily, and then let out a long breath, his body slowly fell back, and he lay on the floor with his arms spread out on his back, silent for a long time…………

………… The next morning, Xiao Nuo opened her eyes, the sunlight outside was very dazzling, she blocked her eyes with her hands, half stood up, and found herself lying on Ma Ming's bed, next to Cao Fangrui sleeping Zhengxiang. She turned her head to look again and saw Ma Ming sitting on the floor, with CDs and floppy disks around him, reinstalling the computer.

"Yo, up? There's fried food on the table, so if you're hungry, go eat it yourself. ”

Ma Mingtou said without looking back, and at the same time put a disc into the optical drive.

"Everything...... It's over? Arnold walked up to him and asked in a whisper.

Ma Ming turned his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's all over." ”

"What the hell was going on yesterday?" Xiao Nuo recalled the scene last night, both frightened and inexplicable.

"Oh, that's a long story, hehe," Ma Ming pointed to the computer, "remember the last time you had a chance power outage that caused the ghost to stop the attack?" This gave me an inspiration. ”

"Destroy Zishan by cutting off power?"

"No, a general power outage can only stop it from attacking, not destroy it, because its body is located in the network, and unless all computers in the world are shut down at the same time, it will survive forever."

“……………………”

"Don't worry, that's why I'm using Saucer Immortals." Ma Ming saw Xiao Nuo's face change, and hurriedly added, "The function of the Saucer Immortal is to invite the gods, and last night, we used this feature to pull Zishan's ghost body into my computer, and it had to come." Then, I made an appointment with Tiyun Zong, and I sent him a signal, and he immediately sent a Heart Sutra to RM. He downloaded the song from http:///media/. ”

"Is that the song of the female voice? Is that the Heart Sutra? ”

"That's right, Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, translated by the Tang monk in the Journey to the West. You know, Zishan's ghost is very cunning, and if I downloaded the Buddhist scriptures on my computer beforehand, it would definitely find out. So I emptied my hard drive so that it could be invited with confidence. It didn't expect me to be able to download a song in time with the help of the Internet, and although it was only thirty seconds, it was enough to suppress it. ”

Arnold listened intently.

"Since it's on my computer, it's easy to do. First you use the RM of the sutra to suppress it, then you unplug the phone line, cut it off the way back to the network, and then I cut off the power and completely trap it in the computer. In the last step, the entire hard drive is formatted, and Zishan's ghost is deleted along with other data. That's it, it doesn't exist anymore. ”

When Xiao Nuo heard this, a big stone that had been pressed in her heart for more than a month finally fell to the ground, and she felt a lot more relaxed in an instant. The gloomy disgust that had haunted her since her cousin Tang Jing's death could no longer be felt.

"It's just that I didn't expect that Zishan actually likes the same sex. Probably because of this, Jinghong had a big quarrel with her. Ma Ming shook his head and sighed.

“………… I said why did Zishan say something like that? Xiaonuo also shook his head, and muttered to himself with understanding. She remembered Zishan's post, and in the reply post that evaluated Dongfang's undefeated, Zishan said with the ID of "cold-faced flying fox": "He only hates himself and Yang Lianting as the same sex, and he can't live and live together, so it's not surprising that he has this mentality." Doesn't Jia Baoyu also belong to Qin Zhong? In retrospect, it should have been a reflection of her own feelings.

"So, what does that picture explain?"

"I think that's probably what Zishan took before the showdown with Jinghong, but who knows......" Ma Ming said as he changed the disc.

Gender misalignment, this is probably the inevitable tragedy reflected by the Internet as a huge mask between people.

After all, the people hidden behind the network cannot be guessed, because the illusory light will distort everything. This is the truth that Xiaonuo has been trying to investigate, as the same philosopher said: The truth is so heavy, although Xiaonuo feels relieved, but he has never been able to let himself really go, and there is even a trace of sadness, after all, some things are irreparable.

She stood up, walked to the window and opened the curtains, pushed the window open, a fresh morning breeze blew in her face, and the morning sun shone on her face, indescribably relaxed and comfortable. The girl raised her head slightly, leaned forward, and closed her eyes on her back to meet the summer wind of Hexi.

"It's all over, you can rest in peace, Xiaojing."
