Chapter 26 Anchor
Li Pan climbed all the way to the top floor and saw a van on the top floor.
Phew, this chubby anchor is pretty good. Yeah, it’s all about exploring a ghost building anyway. Rather than climbing all the way up to the 40th floor, it’s better to go downstairs to save some energy, and then remotely control it on the first floor and drive the car down. .
Of course, this was not just a 'car'. Li Pan walked around the car. He also studied mechanics and saw that the other party had made many modifications that were not legal and compliant, and of course NCPA was too lazy to take care of it.
In fact, there is only a shell left of the van, probably just for internal space and license plate application. The chassis has been modified with a turbine engine and a vector nozzle, which can take off and land in short distances. It should be removed from an old floating vehicle. The motor inside has also been greatly modified. There is also a satellite antenna and signal repeater on the roof. It is equipped with a lot of DIY equipment and military supplies to ensure the strength of the live broadcast signal. He is also a professional geek anchor.
Of course, do you really think being a host is easy? Just talk about it? The job of making money these days is not easy. Even if you are just talking, you are still capable. Some people can talk to death with just three sentences.
Li Pan ran up from the first floor and saw no problems, so he signed in and clocked in, planning to go back.
Originally, he planned to call the floating car to the roof, but the rooftop area was already occupied by the anchor's equipment, and the fat man just scolded him, so Li Pan wanted to scare the fat man and let him broadcast live. There was something ugly in the room, so he chuckled sinisterly, shouldered the sword again, and quietly walked downstairs.
This way, you go all the way to the first floor.
Li Pan walked out of the main entrance and saw his floating car in the blink of an eye.
The fat man is gone.
From the roof to the downstairs, there is only a stairwell, which is a fire escape, so you can enter and exit freely. The fire doors leading to the apartment level along the road are closed, because even though it is unfinished, some people don’t want you to move into a rough house. Other real estate sales, so the power has long been cut off. Unless it is dismantled with a chainsaw, civilian weapons cannot open it at all.
Such a big fat man, such a big pile of things, in broad daylight, just, no one is there?
what happened? Is there really a monster?
Li Pan released the company's drone and circled the building, scanning each floor and checking the roof.
Fatty's van and the pile of equipment were still there, and there was no one around. The ghost building area was empty and deserted, and the floating vehicle's surveillance did not detect anyone coming or going at all.
Li Pan frowned and couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he simply picked up the knife and climbed up again.
This time, carefully, every possible exit on each floor was confirmed.
There were no signs of physical damage or signs of struggle. The fat man was not in the building, and such a big man disappeared out of thin air, just the front and rear feet that Li Pan had come into contact with.
Is this a monster...
Li Pan frowned and entered Fatty's van.
The live broadcast equipment is still recording and broadcasting, but Fatty's equipment has lost the signal. It stands to reason that with so many devices on the rooftop, this fat man just needs a communication tower. There is absolutely no chance of signal loss during the live broadcast in the Ghost Tower area.
As can be seen from the live broadcast platform, the barrage and the audience have begun to go berserk. At least tens of thousands of people flocked to the live broadcast room to chat.
What else could we talk about? Of course, the anchor was talking about a cyber psychopath while climbing a building during a live broadcast, and was stabbed to death. There was a lot of blood... What Mad
said was so true that Li Pan almost believed it. .
So Li Pan made a call to Shiba Shiba's technical support, put on his own gloves, and while inspecting the host's van, he called for a drone to directly hack into the in-vehicle server.
Shiba was very neat. He cracked the ICE hack in a short period of remote operation, and found out all the physical examination reports of his home address, social security account, and account number.
This chubby guy’s name is Martin Zhang, and his nickname in the live broadcast room is Martin Roush. From the information collected, he was originally a senior engineer, making military plasma engines and power system components. Not bad, at least I paid off my student loan.
But isn't the war over? As the situation gradually stabilized, Ye's companies invaded on a large scale and relied on tariffs and policy protection to compete (dumping). Gao Tianshen's local military enterprise couldn't make ends meet, so he had to start laying off employees, and Martin Roux was also fired. Since there was a non-competition agreement, he had no choice but to switch to being a geek anchor, helping people install phones, modify cars, and make up stories. Cheng, evaluate a chip, pick a computer or something.
But everyone knows that being a technology geek these days is very difficult. Once a chip comes out, tens of thousands of channels are updated. The little money you make is not enough to buy new products. If you are not a big anchor, it is basically impossible to make a profit. So this guy tried various transformations, such as using a technical perspective to enter urban ghost stories, and became a liberal arts anchor in the supernatural area.
If you roll it, just roll it hard. If you don't roll it, you won't get anything to eat.
By the way, the most popular thing these days is actually mukbang, because the 'mobile phone that can taste food' was really invented. Li Pan usually eats nutritious food, chews dry compressed biscuits, and watches Mewtwo. It feels like he is actually eating it, which makes him feel so good.
In short, when No. 18 found out that the other party was actually recording and broadcasting in real time, and after meeting Li Pan and before the signal was interrupted, "just in case", they updated and shared the video data with the live broadcast platform in real time, and Li Pan was Li Pan's face was clearly captured and cached in the cloud. Unless the server of the live broadcast company was hacked, it could not be deleted. After that, Li Pan was really numb.
Damn it, if I don’t get this fat guy back, I’ll be really confused.
This kind of "human and material evidence" is available, but the victim is missing, and Li Pan can't explain why, the NCPA can arrest him directly.
Of course, in view of the special nature of Monster Inc., if he is detained for ten days and a half, he can go through the safety committee and send someone to bail him out, but doesn’t the bail amount still require him to work and repay the loan? ?
Mader is such an endless loan repayment hell, it’s really amazing.
Li Pan had a headache, and had no other choice for a while, so he had to carry the knife and run into the corridor again to look for it.
If there really was a monster, why did the fat man disappear once and for all, but he was up and down and nothing happened?
Li Pan came to the corridor between the 26th and 27th floors. Judging from the live broadcast record, Li Pan and Fatty met here. After that, Li Pan went upstairs, and Fatty broadcast live here for a while. After a while, he asked for a reward and uploaded the data before continuing down. Then he lost the signal before going down two floors.
So... it was between the twenty-fourth and twenty-fifth floors when the monsters disappeared...
Li Pan repeatedly went up and down between the twenty-fourth and twenty-seventh floors, wandering back and forth, but he still couldn't see the problem. .
But he did recall some doubts.
For example, he was startled by the fat man's sudden loud scream.
But in the live broadcast video, the fat man kept nagging Lao Tie's family and his voice was quite loud. After they said goodbye, Li Pan climbed up three floors and could hear the fat man's voice in the live broadcast. Why didn't you notice that there was someone above you before?
Li Pan came to the platform at the corner between the 25th and 26th floors and looked up at the place where he met the fat man.
In the video, the fat man obviously didn't notice Li Pan, who was swaying left and right, imitating an ape and wielding a knife to climb the stairs. He suddenly jumped out from the end of the corridor and was so frightened that he almost lost control and had a heart attack.
This wouldn't be possible in a 'normal' stairwell.
So,
is it possible
that one of them was not in the 'normal' stairwell before the encounter?
Well, now Li Pan dreams every day and every night, and to be honest, he is not sure which world is the 'normal' one.
In short, for the time being, let's use the world that he can see, hear, and the signal can scan normally as the benchmark.
Needless to say, Fatty Roushui was normal at first, after all, he broadcast the whole thing live.
So Li Pan looked at the boy Qie An Gang in his hand. The cold sword light and the dazzling green light had not been extinguished until now.
He thought for a moment, pressed down the sword, and wiped the blade with his palm, extinguishing the flame. Take a deep breath and let the fiery torrent in your body that moves with the dance steps of the ape gradually subside and settle down, like a dead lake.
Then he turned around and walked down the dark stairwell, as if plunging himself into a quagmire of darkness.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
Li Pan felt as if he had gone down another forty floors, deep into the ground, but he also clearly remembered that the stairwell did not lead to the basement or garage, and the doors going down from the first floor were locked.
So he's already 'in'...
Li Pan stopped temporarily, leaning on the knife, closed his eyes, did nothing, didn't think about anything, just stood there.
Then he felt a vibration.
Yes, 'vibration', just like when the body is submerged in water, the skin can vaguely feel the ripples rippling in the distance, and are transmitted to his body, which runs "Taiyin Refining" and The monkey dance track stirred up 'vibrations'.
Li Pan stood still for a while, and after careful analysis, he found that the 'vibration' came not from under his feet, but from above his head.
No, no, the core of the 'vibration' is moving...
No, no, it's him who is moving...
Li Pan raised his head suddenly and looked at layer after layer, circle after circle, endlessly, towards A spiral staircase in nothingness. There was something 'vibrating' in
the core . Li Pan narrowed his eyes, held the boy Che Angang in his hands, jumped up on the stair railing, his shoulders and arms relaxed, like a spiritual ape flying across the empty stream, the boy Che Angang was shining with green light. Shining, a ball of green fire circled and exploded along the blade, piercing the 'core'! The knife pierced the air, and in the dim corridor, there was a lingering and reverberating sound of wind, just like the low roar of a dragon. With a snap, Li Pan fell to the ground, holding up the long knife with flashing green light in his hand, and listened again. The 'shaking' stopped. temporary. Then he climbed up two floors and saw Martin paralyzed on the stairway. His whole body was soaked. He didn't know whether it was sweat, tears or urine. His whole body was dirty and smelly, and he was in a miserable state. He was probably After running back and forth for more than ten floors, my foot finally sprained and I rolled down, paralyzed on the ground unable to move. But you are not dead, you have to get up, continue to make loans, and continue to repay loans. Li Pan waved his hand and slapped him twice. "Hey! Hey! Shredded pork! Martin! Shredded pork! Martin Zhang!" "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Don't kill me..." Zhang Martin opened his eyes and saw the cyberpsychotic man leaning on him The knife stood in front of him and he screamed in fear. "Calm down Martin!" Li Pan waved his hand and slapped him again. "Calm down?" Another slap in the face. "Calm down?" Another slap in the face. "Calm down, haven't you?" Again... "Ooooooo, okay, big brother, big brother, wooooo, okay, don't fight, calm down, calm down..." Zhang Martin was stared at by Li Pan and slapped on the side, and the right side of his face was swollen. It's swollen. Li Pan looked at his eyes, which had recovered from the turbidity, and then nodded, " Okay, let's go." "Woo... Wu? Let's go? Where are you going?" "What, you You really think this is your home! Do you still want to live here?" Li Pan stood up with a knife and pointed at his equipment. "I'll take you out, stare at the live broadcast room, and squeak when there is a signal." Zhang Martin was stunned for a while, and then he suddenly reacted. As if he remembered something, his face turned pale, "Big, big brother... ... Just now... I, I, I... this staircase... this floor..." "Stop talking nonsense, it's none of your business. If you don't want to die, don't ask too much. If you don't want to go crazy, don't think too much! Leave quickly!" " Yes ! Yes, big brother, I, my legs are numb and I can't get up..." " Tsk, it's really troublesome..." Li Pan had no choice but to hold up the knife in one hand and pull Zhang Martin up with the other, driving him side by side to the stairs. Climb up. Only then did Zhang Martin believe that he was safe, and he was moved. "Brother, thank you..." "Want to thank me? Okay, transfer me 300,000 yuan." "Three, 300,000 yuan! Where can I get so much money..." "If not, shut up!" "... ...Big, big brother." "Shut up!" "No, no, there's a signal..." "Oh." Li Pan quickly turned to the live camera and said, "Hey, you saw it! Your shredded meat is alive and well. Yes! He sprained his foot and injured himself! And I am not a cyber psychopath! Whoever spreads rumors again, I will kill you along the network cable! You have your say!" Then Li Pan held up the knife and glared at Zhang Martin. Zhang Martin's face was swollen, and he said with a sneer, "Ah, yes, yes, I fell, old fellows, family members, it's really none of my business, it's all my own fault. I don't need to explain, everyone understands. Let’s chat again tonight! Get off first, kiss!” With this being done, Li Pan took Zhang Martin to the van on the rooftop, found a medical kit and put a bandage on his foot, staring at He turned off the live broadcast and handed over the camera hard drive. "Brother, I understand. Thank you for saving my life this time. Otherwise, my pony would be stuck here. It's so trivial..." Zhang Martin said politely. Although he couldn't give out 300,000 yuan, he still handed over a ticket. Encrypted data card comes. This is an offline blockchain data communication card with near field communication function. It is a device that can exchange data when disconnected. The codes stored in it are usually encrypted digital codes and silent accounts in the deep network. That is, illegal digital currency prohibited by the tax bureau. To put it bluntly, it is unlaundered black money.
After all, the gap between the rich and the poor is huge these days, chaebol gangs are rampant, and criminals who are outsmarting the tax bureau will never disappear. Although this black money cannot be used openly in the public system to repay loans, it can be collected privately for personal transactions and buying junk commodities on the black market.
Li Pan's eyes lit up, he put the data card in his pocket without showing any signs of it, and patted Martin Zhang's shoulder kindly.
"Okay, don't say what you shouldn't say, get out."
"Hey, hey, thank you, brother..."
Zhang Martin nodded and bowed. He wanted to turn around and leave, but hesitated for a moment, then turned back and said,
"Brother, this Ghost building..."
Li Pan frowned, seeing that he still had something to say,
"What happened to you."
"I, I just seemed to have a dream, about the family in this building..."
Zhang Martin opened his mouth, but in the end he shook his head,
"Hey, actually there's nothing more to say, it's been so many years... Brother, I'm leaving."
Li Pan waved his hand and watched Zhang Martin open the bun Floated away. Of course, this matter has not been resolved yet.
Although Li Pan can use the swordsmanship taught by the weirdo in green robes to break the barrier in the stairwell and freely enter and exit the monster's territory, the monster's identity has not yet been found. The specific effect is that it will make people disappear and get lost in the corridor. , and didn’t figure it out.
Moreover, it is even more uncertain how to control it. Should we simply buy all this ghost building? How about just finding two bombs and blowing up the building?
Li Pan didn't have any good ideas at the moment.
But today I can write the daily report. After running up and down so much, I can finish get off work by the time I finish writing the report.
Nonsense, who worked overtime for you, you have to complete it!
Anyway, wasn't he asked to check out the rumors about the monster in the ghost building in the first place, was it true?
It's true, it's over.
What, is there any additional business? Okay, let’s add money. Let’s settle the investigation mission rewards first, and then talk about other things, otherwise there’s no need to talk!
Wouldn't it be nice for him to write two reports on one monster?
Hey, 2,500 yuan a month is so willful! It’s so free and easy!
So Li Pan called in a drone and first welded the entrance and exit doors to the stairwells upstairs and downstairs to prevent anyone from committing suicide, and then took the car back to write a report.
