Chapter 86.1 - The Underworld Network (Catch Bugs)

Hacker 001 opened the door to a new world for Chen Yu and provided a new possibility. She couldn’t help feeling excited, so she ran to find Xiang Nan that night.

After listening to Chen Yu’s account, Xiang Nan asked with some doubts, “Is this feasible?”

“It’s feasible.” Chen Yu nodded excitedly. “You, an ancient ghost, may not know, but hackers are very powerful existences.”

“…” Ancient ghost, Xiang Nan, was speechless.

“And anyway, there is no other alternative now. We’ll just give it our best shot despite the odds,” Chen Yu added.

“Then what do you need me to do?” Xiang Nan nodded to show understanding.

“I want you to help me find a hacker in the Underworld.” Chen Yu had already thought about it. “The network of the Underworld and the network of the world of the living aren’t connected, so if we want to hack the Underworld’s network, we still have to start from there.”

“This is totally unlikely.” Xiang Nan immediately shook his head. “The Book of Life and Death is an inviolable existence in the Underworld. No ghosts dare to touch it. If crimes in the world of the living are just punishable with life imprisonment, then crimes in the Underworld are likely to last forever, and punishable with imprisonment in the eighteenth level of hell. Hence, although the management of the Underworld is lax, no one really dares to mess around.”

“Then can we only find someone in this world?” After a second, Chen Yu began to consider the second possibility.

In the following days, Chen Yu searched the Internet for some knowledge about hacking, while considering how to let the living in the present world hack into the network of the Underworld. First of it all, there must be a computer that could connect to the network in the Underworld. Secondly, the hacker would be brought to the Underworld.

Xiang Nan could figure out how to find a computer. As for the hacker, Chen Yu intended to wait until the first condition was met first before meeting Hacker 001.

Although Lou Ming had no idea what the management of the Underworld was like, it wasn’t difficult to imagine the danger of Chen Yu’s move. He had dissuaded Chen Yu more than once, but she turned a deaf ear to them all.

“Shishi, this matter is not a joke.” Lou Ming again persuaded, “Everyone has to enter the Underworld reincarnation after death. If you proceed with this plan, you will completely offend the Underworld. The consequences…”

“Then don’t let the Underworld know.” Chen Yu had already thought about this question. “As long as they can’t find out, nothing will happen. I’ve checked, and there are many cases in history where networks are hacked but hackers weren’t found.”

“You’re depending on a fluke,” Lou Ming said disapprovingly.

“I’m indeed leaving everything to luck. I’m lucky to find a spiritual artifact this time and completely solve your evil spirit,” Chen Yu raised her head and said solemnly.

An unspeakable emotion flowed through Lou Ming’s heart. “Shishi, I don’t want to drag you into this because of my affairs.”

“Third Brother, from the first time I saw a ghost and knew that people can really have an afterlife, Grandpa told me,” Chen Yu suddenly said, “Because people reincarnate, we should do more good deeds to cultivate karma in the next life. However, we should not let our present selves stumble in order to cultivate karma in the next life. If people ultimately can’t live up to their hearts, then try to make yourself live without regret. That way, it won’t be in vain that you’ve walked this life.”

Lou Ming froze.

“Third Brother, if I don’t do this now, I’ll regret it.” Chen Yu pursed her lips. She was nothing but stubbornness, with a pair of black and white eyes teeming with imperative aura.

Just, Lou Ming was moved and couldn’t help rubbing the top of Chen Yu’s hair: “Let’s try. If we really go to hell, we’ll go together.”

“Mm.” Chen Yu nodded, then said again very confidently, “Third Brother, don’t be so discouraged for now, okay? I have calculated it and my success is still extraordinarily promising.”

“Okay.” Lou Ming could not help but a smile. Elder Wu was right. Whether it was a past life, the current life or the next life, people should live without regrets.

Lou Ming didn’t know if he had also met a girl like Chen Yu in his past life, nor did he know if he would live better than now in the next life, but people only put their hope in the next life when they were most helpless.

He liked Chen Yu in this life, and she also liked him in this life. Even if they were to meet again after reincarnation, they wouldn’t remember this feeling after drinking the Soup of Forgetfulness.

So let us give it a try. If Elder Wu really saw the light of merit in my soul, then I’m willing to use all of my merits in exchange for peace in the next life.

The most important part of the plan was to unwittingly bring Hacker 001 into the Underworld. But according to the information she had collected over the past few days, the average hacker wouldn’t easily appear in front of her clients, so Chen Yu thought of a solution.

Splash money!

If there was an essential difference between college and high school, one of them was that even if you were sleeping in class, the teacher wouldn’t bother to pay attention to you, let alone Chen Yu, who just lowered her head to play with her mobile phone.

Chen Yu tapped the forum to send a private message to Hacker 001. She first asked tentatively: Can we do business in person? Money isn’t a problem.

The other party replied in seconds: I don’t want money.

Whoa, I offered money, but the hacker doesn’t want it. How can I go on convincing him?

Hacker 001: Face-to-face transactions are also possible.

So welcoming? Chen Yu was somewhat incredulous. She cautiously asked: Then what do you want?

Hacker 001: To be honest with you, I’m a senior student, your senior. Ahem, our dormitory would like to associate with your dormitory.

Associate? Chen Yu silently twisted her head and looked at the three major beauties sitting on her left side.

“What’s wrong?” Fang Feifei sensed Chen Yu’s sight.

“Nothing?” Chen Yu lowered her head sheepishly. She thought for a moment and then asked on her phone: Just associate?

Hacker 001: Yes, it’s just being friends, just having a meal together.

That simple? Chen Yu once again turned her head and looked at the three most beautiful women on her left.

“What the heck is going on?” Fang Feifei looked somewhat speechless at the Classmate Xishi who kept stealing glances at her then swallowing the words at the tip of her tongue.

“Feifei, has anyone ever approached our dormitory for a friendship?” Chen Yu asked in a whisper.

“Yes, ah. There are quite a lot of them,” Fang Feifei returned.

“Then how come we haven’t been with them once?” Chen Yu wondered.

“Does our dorm room still need friendship? Among the campus top ten beauties, our dorm accounted for three,” Fang Feifei paused. She looked at Chen Yu and said, “It is estimated that the next time there’s a rating, we can take up four positions. We spend every day turning down everyone’s pursuit. How can we still have time to socialize?”

“That exaggerated?” Why didn’t she experience the slightest feeling?

“Why are you suddenly asking this? Did someone look for you for a friendship?” Fang Feifei asked.

“What sorority?” Han You, who was sitting next to Fang Feifei, also chimed in. “Did someone find us for a club through Shishi?”

“Ah-hmm.” Chen Yu nodded her head sheepishly.

“Who is it? Qin Yi?” Han You asked.

“It’s just an internet friend. He’s a senior in our school who once did me a big favor.” If their Underworld Network hacking was successful, it would be a huge favor.

“Okay, ah!” Han You agreed very quickly. “Anyway, we have nothing to do. Let’s just have a meal together, and just think of it as accompanying Shishi to meet with her online friend.”

“May I?” Chen Yu asked with some surprise. Although she intended to ask for their agreement at the beginning, Han You’s initiative to go still surprised her.

“Sure, ah,” Han You said with a smile, “But if the object of friendship isn’t handsome enough, just bring out that unseemly boyfriend of yours for us to see.”

Fang Feifei and Han You looked at each other and tacitly nodded. “That’s right!”

“Deal!” Chen Yu barely hesitated much. If things could be resolved smoothly this time, Third Brother naturally had to come out to meet people after his evil spirit was resolved.

Zhang Muwan, who had been catching up on her sleep, was thus sold by her other three roommates.
