Reborn in 1993, Dark Sea

Back home, Mai Xiaoyu went straight to her room. An Xiaohai knew she was in a hurry to report to her superiors.

To An Xiaohai's surprise, Dr. Yu actually came back today. As soon as An Xiaohai entered the door, he pulled him aside to examine his wounds. He only let him go after confirming that all of An Xiaohai's wounds had completely healed.

Dr. Yu has indeed become much more cheerful. He is no longer as evasive and silent as before. In addition to examining An Xiaohai, he also took the initiative to chat with Alahan for a while.

An Xiaohai inquired about Ding Ping's condition, and Dr. Yu replied that there was nothing seriously wrong. He even blushed and said that when he was examining Ding Ping's abdominal injury, Ding Ping seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally seducing him.

An Xiaohai remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he found it amusing. This seduction tactic might have some effect on others, but it would certainly have no effect on Doctor Yu.

Ding Ping is An Zhehao's woman, and Dr. Yu would avoid her like the plague.

Ding Ping finally started to lose her composure, which is a good thing.

After chatting with everyone for a while, An Xiaohai returned to his room, turned on his computer, and first went to the Sky Forum.

There is still no news left by Pan Zhuangzhuang on the Sky Forum.

An Xiaohai logged into the Honggang Galaxy Technology Forum again, intending to perform some routine operations, but suddenly found that he had received a private message on the site.

An Xiaohai raised an eyebrow and opened the private message.

The private message contained only one sentence: Darling, I sensed your anger and melancholy.

Signed: Echo.

"Echo..." An Xiaohai leaned back in his chair and gently covered his mouth.

An Xiaohai was very familiar with the word Echo, as his favorite writer, Sanmao, used this name. However, the word also has another meaning: echo, or it can represent a beautiful mountain goddess in Greek mythology.

The forest goddess Echo was so beautiful that she aroused the jealousy of the goddess Hera. Hera used magic to make her lose the ability to speak normally, and she could only repeat the last three words of what others had said.

Therefore, people simply used her name, Echo, as the word for "echo".

What you keep in mind will eventually come back to you. Using Echo as a name always evokes endless imagination.

"Is Echo, the one who sent this private message, a fan of Sanmao, or a mountain goddess from the abyss?...

An Xiaohai looked up at the ceiling.

Putting myself in his shoes, his actions on the forum these past few days must have caught the attention of some people. If he continues like this, they might contact him after a while.

But these past two days, An Xiaohai hasn't come home at night because he's been giving lectures to the security department, so he hasn't logged into the forum as usual.

This could easily lead those who noticed him to misjudge the situation, thinking that he might be getting bored, and thus they would start their actions ahead of time, accelerating the entire process.

It should be like this.

An Xiaohai wanted to reply to the previous private message, but stopped when his fingers touched the keyboard.

"I can't go back, it wouldn't fit this character..."

The character An Xiaohai plays at the Honggang Galaxy Technology Forum is timid, sensitive, suspicious, and hesitant, yet his heart is filled with anger and dissatisfaction with reality.

The reason for pretending to be like this is because such people are the easiest to brainwash and control.

If someone like this suddenly receives a private message from a stranger who calls them "darling," they would never choose to reply immediately; their first reaction would likely be panic.

Thinking of this, An Xiaohai immediately closed the forum page, leaned back in his chair, and let out a long sigh.

His mind was still racing, and he couldn't fall asleep. An Xiaohai couldn't help but think of Zhan Weiting and Kang Lianhai: "Would those two post bounties on the Ghost Network?"

An Xiaohai was very curious about this ghost network; it was another world, a world standing in opposition to the world of light.

The Ghost Network is the gateway to that dark world, and the account and password are the keys. An Xiaohai has these keys.

No calculations or decryption are needed; it's a ready-made key. This key comes from a notebook that likely belongs to Jiang Ting.

An Xiaohai closed his eyes, and two sets of information appeared in his mind. The purpose of these two sets of information could not be determined by the Security Department at the moment. They both looked like Ghost Network accounts and passwords.

An Xiaohai thought about it for a long time before finally deciding to give it a try.

In any case, we need to find out what this dark web is all about first, otherwise it will be troublesome if we give ourselves away when communicating with Zhan Weiting and the others.

An Xiaohai first ran the IP spoofing program, then opened the Ghost Network login client, entered the first set of account and password, and pressed the Enter key.

I was very lucky; it seemed to work on my first try. The login screen changed to a login progress bar.

The speed was a bit slow, so An Xiaohai took a deep breath and waited quietly.

Inside the club, Zhan Weiting paced back and forth in a private room, while Kang Lianhai sat on the sofa, his gaze constantly following Zhan Weiting.

"Lianhai, post it! Post the bounty!" After a while, Zhan Weiting stopped pacing and said fiercely.

"Really?... " Kang Lianhai's voice trembled.

"Otherwise what?!" Zhan Weiting stared intently at Kang Lianhai and said, "You shouldn't have been so loose-lipped! If you hadn't told Jiaxiang so much, we wouldn't be in such a passive position now!"

The police only have a general idea of ​​his identity; it hasn't implicated us yet.

But what if Jiaxiang lets something slip, or what if he exposes us to cover up his mistakes? You know better than I what the consequences would be!

"Jiaxiang knows what's what, he would never do that!" Kang Lianhai said, wiping the sweat from his face.

Can you guarantee that?

"I..." Kang Lianhai was speechless. He knew his son's character better than anyone else. When things got really desperate, he was capable of anything.

"Are we really going to offer a ten million dollar bounty? That's no small sum!"

"I think we can only issue more, we absolutely cannot issue less!" Zhan Weiting took a deep breath: "China has always been known as the graveyard of mercenaries and drug traffickers, don't you know that?"

The reward is too small, who will come?

We're going to do this anyway, so instead of doing it half-heartedly, let's go all out. If you really can't bear to part with the money, there's actually another solution that will solve the problem once and for all.

Lian Hai, are you willing to choose this method?

"I...sigh!" Kang Lianhai let out a long sigh.

Kang Lianhai knew exactly what Zhan Weiting's method was. Killing someone to silence them was much simpler than rescuing them. But no matter how despicable Kang Jiaxiang was, he was still Kang Lianhai's son.

"Let's send it; that's the only way!"

"Okay, that's really the only way..." Kang Lianhai wiped away the sweat that he couldn't get rid of, went to another room to get a laptop, plugged in the network cable, and started working on it.

Haizhou Villa

"You mean, someone logged into the Galaxy Forum using Peacock's account?" An Zhehao looked at the butler-like man, his gaze turning sharp as a blade in that instant.

"Yes," the butler-like man bowed slightly. "I just received a message that after that person logged into the forum with Peacock's account, he immediately entered the safe zone, but he didn't browse for very long, only about seven minutes in total."

He opened all the pinned posts and then went offline, but that was enough time for all the web pages to refresh. Technicians estimate that this person probably opened the posts first, then disconnected from the internet to view them offline.

"When did this happen?"

"This happened three nights ago. The forum receives so much information every day that they only check it once a week. Today happened to be the day they checked it, and they contacted me immediately after discovering this situation."

"Okay, can you find out where the other party logged in?"

"I've found it, I've marked it for you," the butler-like person handed over a map, which showed the login location of the account, the internet cafe near the Shenhai City Public Security Bureau.

An Zhehao took the map, looked at the location, and pondered for a long time without saying a word.

"Should I send someone over to investigate this place?"

"No!" An Zhehao waved his hand: "We absolutely cannot go and investigate; it could very well be a trap."
