Chapter 10: Duncan, the strongest sophomore
Yes? Russell and Subway were taken aback.
The two took the computer and studied it, and sure enough, as Clara said, the computer was infected with a virus.
Viruses take up a lot of memory while the computer is running, resulting in a lack of system resources, which slows down the use of the computer, makes the heat exhaust fan whirring all the time, and even causes it to crash. The virus also renames and deletes some files, resulting in data loss and seriously affecting the normal use of the computer.
The antivirus software that comes with the computer is helpless in the face of such a powerful virus!
The wind chimes floating around next to him couldn't help but complain:
"Clara, I don't think that's Russell's scope of work. Our clinic booth is only responsible for treating people. Dealing with computer viruses is something like a matter that should be left to other professionals. ”
"No, no, no, no, wind chimes." The more Russell studied the computer, the more solemn his expression became.
Finally, he raised his head and said:
"This computer is infected, it may be the flu that is now circulating in the academy!"
Faced with dozens of puzzled eyes from Subway, Wind Chimes, and Clara, Russell explained seriously:
"In the realm of occultism and the principles of witchcraft, we have to learn to look beyond the essence and look at phenomena.
"Look more at the outward manifestations, forms, symptoms, and symbolism, rather than the internal, non-manifest ways in which science works.
"This virus will take up a lot of system resources, affect the normal efficiency of use, and also cause the heat exhaust fan whirring style, which corresponds to the symptoms of most students - physical weakness, difficulty concentrating on study and spirituality, coughing, sneezing.
"Isn't this virus function of renaming and deleting files corresponding to the memory loss symptoms encountered by a small number of students such as Violet before?"
In order to confirm whether his guess was correct, Russell planned to perform a divination first.
He injected powerful spiritual energy into his mobile phone and posted a question in the Bixian APP:
"Is the virus infected with this laptop the same virus that most students have been infected with before?"
Divination prophecy should preferably have a medium, and have a certain amount of prior knowledge and understanding of the divination object.
Now there happens to be a sick computer on the table, and Russell, the caster of the pen fairy ritual, is also a doctor who has witnessed a large number of patients. In addition, Russell's spiritual level has reached the third grade, and the accuracy of divination in this regard is very high.
Of course, even if the divination does not produce results, Russell can issue a bounty and let more powerful spirits intervene to answer the question.
After a period of time, the magic device mobile phone synthesized the answers of many spirits, made full use of the characteristics of many spirits to obtain knowledge beyond time and space, as well as his own thinking ability as part of Russell's magic weapon, and gave the results of pen immortal divination:
"Most likely. More than 70% likelihood. ”
Seeing the results given by the pen fairy, both Wind Chimes and Subway widened their eyes.
Wind Chimes exclaimed: "Can this occult virus still become a computer virus?" ”
Subway sighed: "The occult flu is really terrifying!" ”
Clara was worried about the others:
"If this occult flu can still infect computers, we must quickly post this news on the official website forum, so that everyone can protect themselves."
Russell shook his head slightly:
"Your computer should be of a special constitution. This is also the first time I have seen a computer infected with the flu virus. ”
In order to confirm his conjecture, he performed another pen immortal divination on his mobile phone:
"Most computers, is it difficult to be infected with the occult flu that is epidemic in the academy?"
Ten minutes later, after consuming a large amount of Russell's spiritual energy, the mobile phone gave a reply that synthesized the answers of multiple spirits:
"Not really. However, most computers are infected with viruses and do not show symptoms as carriers only. ”
Most computers get sick normally?
Just as a carrier?
This answer startled Russell.
Carrier...... Carriers are also infected!
Russell looked at the sick computer, and his eyes suddenly became much darker.
He leaned back on the table, thinking quickly, stringing together the previous threads.
After a few seconds, Russell stood up suddenly, as if thinking of something terrifying:
"Is it possible that someone is not infected with the computer?
"The occult flu, a mode of contagion based on the occult......
"Do you say, do you say, do you say ......"
Russell grabbed his mobile phone and called Black Feather:
"Kurofeather, are you in the dormitory? I want to check your computer......"
After the call with Black Feather, Russell immediately sent another message to Duncan in the strange eyes of Subway, Clara, and Wind Chime:
"Mr. Chancellor, I may know how the epidemic spread in the primary hospital of the academy this time. I have made some discoveries now and would like to tell you ......"
…………
Soon, Black Feather brought his laptop to Russell's consultation booth.
- At this time, Russell had already put a sign on the table to "suspend business" so that other people who needed to see a doctor would not disturb him.
Although Russell's initial plan was to go to Black Feather's dormitory, the latter was still very polite, very grateful to Russell for curing his illness before, and didn't want to trouble him to run around, so he came with his computer.
After using psychic vision, diagnostic methods based on herbalistic knowledge, and pen-immortal ritual divination, Russell concluded:
"Sure enough, sure enough, your computer is also sick."
Just after learning from the discussion of several people that the occult flu in the academy can infect computers, Kuroba felt that his worldview was shattered.
He asked suspiciously, "What does Russell mean by saying that I have been infected by the computer?" ”
"Not really!" Russell's tone was low and cold, as if he was aware of some rather serious problem.
Subway on the side has understood the problem and pointed out sharply:
"Your computer infected you!"
Yes? Black Feather's eyes widened, and he felt that his worldview had shattered for the second time in 1 minute.
But when he thinks back on his past experience, he feels quite consistent:
"No wonder, no wonder. If that's the case, it makes sense.
"I don't need to go to any public places, I don't need to come into contact with any other sick students, just using a computer can get sick!
"Is this how the occult flu is contagious?"
But immediately, Black Feather raised a new puzzle:
"And when did my computer get sick?"
Russell, who had already guessed, immediately replied: "It should be when you browse the campus official website." Or when you're using a computer to connect with other students. ”
Black Feather understood Russell's words, and felt that his worldview was shattered for the third time in 1 minute: "Russell, what do you mean, it's ......"
"This occult flu epidemic in the primary school is spread through the Internet - that is, the intranet of the academy!" Russell voiced his speculation.
After sending Black Feather away, Subway raised his own questions:
"But if this occult flu could be spread through the Internet, how did it not spread outside the academy? Students will certainly browse the pages outside of the intranet. ”
Russell Positive Color:
"That's the problem.
"I suspect that this occult flu was artificially designed, specifically designed to only work on the transcendent! Or, when disseminated on the Internet, only within the confines of the Faculty Intranet. ”
Listening to Russell, Subway, Clara, and Wind Chimes all realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Don't worry too much, I've already told Mr. Headmaster this information." Russell said again.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice from behind him.
"I'm coming, I'm coming."
A small boy who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old, carrying an army-green school bag, swaggered towards Russell's consultation booth in a very arrogant walking posture.
President of the International Academy of Legalism and the Occult, currently known as "Duncan".
On Duncan's chest, a bronze badge depicting dotted stars and bright constellations illustrates his current identity as a sophomore in the Department of Astrology and Numerology.
Duncan didn't think of himself as an outsider at all, pulled up a chair, and sat down in front of the consultation booth:
"Russell, I attach great importance to the problem you just reflected."
As he spoke, Duncan took out a laptop from the dimensional schoolbag behind him:
"I've just done divination on this computer, and it's infected with a virus. The way the flu spreads this time, as you said, from the official website to the computer, and then from the computer to the person.
"The occult disease that is prevalent in the primary hospital this time may really be very problematic!"
Duncan took out a golden basin of water from his dimensional schoolbag, spewed out a stream of clear water from his fingertips, filled the basin, looked at the swaying water in the basin and recited a spell, and began divination.
Subway, Clara, Wind Chime, Russell, and others all moved their chairs closer to the table and put their heads in front of the golden basin, paying close attention to Duncan's divination results.
As shabby as it may be, this is the divination of the world's greatest prophet!
Russell hurriedly took out the Book of Shadows and flipped to the "Place of Silence" ritual, using ritual magic to construct an area where sound could not be heard, so as not to be spied on by outsiders.
It's not that the topics they discussed are really that secretive, but in contrast, the identity of Mr. Principal needs to be kept secret.
Looking at the basin, Duncan asked the first question:
"Why hasn't the occult disease that was prevalent in the primary academy spread outside the academy, to the world of ordinary people?"
I saw that in the golden water basin, the clear water suddenly became dark like a dark night, and a circle of water ripples opened, and a few silver words appeared:
"This occult disease cannot be spread far even with the help of the Internet, and it is only effective for the innate transcendent who has naturally completed their spiritual awakening."
Subway, who is good at finding faults, interjected next to him: "Are there any people who are not born extraordinary?" ”
"Are there any other people who are not born transcendental?" Duncan recounted the question.
