Chapter 222: Niche Hobby

The answers obtained from Ji Peng and Xu Liang were the same. The novel with the strange name by this person called "Neuromancer" had a writing style very consistent with the cyber killer.

After getting the full text of this novel from the writing platform, Qi Fei also read this novel called "After the Consciousness Anchor Fails, I Rebirth into the Third Dimension." The cold style like a computer throughout the whole article made people feel difficult to understand. Qi Fei was distracted while reading.

"Damn, this is no different from reading a textbook when I was in school. It's too brain-consuming." He pressed his whole weight on the back of the chair, forcing himself to read this alternative novel.

Zhong Kui, who was doing homework on the side, was in a completely different state. She supported her chin with one hand and dragged the mouse from time to time with the other, looking at it with great interest: "I have made up for this form of web novel literature in the past few days. What this person wrote is the best quality and most profound meaning I have ever seen."

Qi Fei's chair turned to Zhong Kui: "Are we reading the same novel?"

"However, for ordinary readers like you, it is indeed difficult to read. In essence, reading web novels is a form of entertainment and leisure, not serious literary research. It is a popular culture, and the public's pursuit of popular culture is nothing more than following the crowd, admiring strength, and peeping at privacy. Only novels that can bring pleasure and make people relax will have higher acceptance. So, his novel, even if it is not reported by Hao Weiwei, the reading data is estimated to be average.

Hao Weiwei's provocation of this person is completely unnecessary." Zhong Kui said unhurriedly.

"Ha, this unnecessary act also cost him his life." Qi Fei put his phone on the desk.

"If you are not stupid, how can you bring yourself a murderous disaster? Even in the cyberspace in science fiction novels, it is still driven by human consciousness. What's more, the internet world in reality looks virtual, but it is actually only a network cable away from humans in reality.

He thought that by entering the internet world, he could completely live another life. How pathetic.

I don't know how it is for others, but for the cyber killer, it doesn't seem difficult to take off Hao Weiwei's cyber mask. However, this matter seems to be a double-edged sword."

"Sigh! Don't mention it." Qi Fei felt a burst of distress, "It's because this guy knows how to track netizens, his own awareness of prevention is very strong. There is almost no content related to this 'Neuromancer' on public social platforms. He never comments, let alone online confrontation with Hao Weiwei. We asked the writing platform, all the identity information he uploaded on the platform is fake, and even the account for receiving royalties is fabricated.

Ironically, because this novel is too niche, the royalties received by this 'Neuromancer' are negligible, which made the finance department of the writing platform ignore the problem of payment failure."

"False information is also information. People cannot completely fabricate something unrelated to themselves. Human thinking has an origin. His bank account tail number used 888, clearly to circumvent the bank card verification algorithm. This person should know some banking business. Another point is that the opening bank and his ID number belong to two districts in Baicheng. Can you guess why this is?" After Zhong Kui finished speaking, her thick eyelashes fluttered, and the corners of her mouth lifted, as if a game had found an Easter egg.

"You mean, this person is very likely to work in the banking system of Baicheng?" Qi Fei was skeptical. After all, this answer was ready to come out, but it came too fast.

Zhong Kui didn't commit: "Anyway, you don't know who he is. A dead horse is a living horse doctor. However, bank employees, even if it is only Baicheng, don't know if it is thousands or tens of thousands. This feature clearly does not meet your screening requirements. But it doesn't matter, a person who loves science fiction, although he will not appear in the circle of web novels, it is hard to say that he will not appear in the circle of science fiction fans.

Not to mention Baicheng, even in the whole country, there should be few people who have read this novel 'Neuromancer,' right?

And, after reading this cyber killer's novel, it made me realize one thing. It is not that he is deliberately imitating the AI writing style, but that he has a similar input method to AI."

"Input method? I don't understand very well."

"Hmm~ You know I like to do enough homework for things I am interested in. During this time, in addition to deeply understanding web literature, I also went to understand the emerging thing of AI. The content presented by AI has a lot to do with the materials it is fed. Although I don't know how much content related to literature it has fed, I can be sure of one point: the content of traditional literature in AI's database is definitely more than most contemporary humans.

Readers who are used to reading web novels will of course feel that its expression is strange, because it mixes various types of literary expressions. Clearly, our cyber killer also has a higher traditional literary cultivation than most people.

You guess, does a person who likes traditional literature like reading on a computer or reading with a physical book?"

"Uh... physical book?"

"Hmm, and it's a lot of physical books. Baicheng, bank, bookstore, niche sci-fi works. These elements, perhaps, can let you gain something in Baicheng."

"Good! Let's go to Baicheng. However..." Qi Fei observed Zhong Kui's words and expressions and asked cautiously, "Will you go with me?"

Zhong Kui, or Zhong Xiaoyu, is from Baicheng.

The first time Qi Fei went to Baicheng was for Zhong Xiaoyu. He would never forget what he learned there.

He knew what Baicheng meant to Zhong Xiaoyu. He had seen Zhong Kui's collapse. How dangerous Baicheng was to her went without saying.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Kui didn't care and flicked her hair: "Of course, I have wanted to go to this city for a long time?" Then she sized up Qi Fei and ran her slender, fair fingers across Qi Fei's cheeks, "What are you afraid of?"

"Because it's Baicheng..." Qi Fei was full of worry.

To his surprise, there was excitement in Zhong Kui's eyes, and this excitement even carried hidden madness: "That's for Zhong Xiaoyu. For me, she tried her best to build a high wall between me and Baicheng. This time, it happens to be a test of how strong this mental city defense is!"

"You want to provoke Zhong Xiaoyu."

"It's not provocation, it's fighting for freedom." Zhong Kui raised an eyebrow, and her slightly cool fingers tapped Qi Fei's chin, "She is like an old mother, there are too many things she doesn't let me do, but she also gave me the rebellion she didn't have." ===== CHAPTER 223 =====
