What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 121: Persecution Paranoia

Is it because Lu Xiaoxia mutated and was afraid of revealing her identity, so she used her account from five years ago to answer Zhihu?

But that doesn't make sense. Now that the real-name system is implemented across the board, if you want to reply and answer, you need to bind your mobile phone. If it's a phone that can't be traced to her identity, why not just sign up for a new vest?

Or just want to avoid the acquaintances who follow her on the account "Lixiaoxiaguang"?

Xiang Kun tapped the table with his index finger, squinted at the answer posted by "August's Kasumi" two days ago, and then looked at the more than one hundred answers of "Dawn Xiaguang" - yes, this girl's The new account is obviously a "talker", and there are more than a hundred answers, although most of them are purely witty.

The writing style of the two answers in "Kasumi in August" is obviously different from Lu Xiaoxia's.

If it is only different from five years ago, then it can be said that the girls from the second year of junior high school have changed a lot by the time they reached the third year of high school.

But now that Xiang Kun has a comparison of her speeches from another Zhihu account, and a comparison of her texts on various social platforms, it is basically certain that those two answers were not really sent by Lu Xiaoxia.

Although it took a long time to find the person who was not the one who actually answered behind the scenes, Xiang Kun was not at all frustrated. A negative answer is itself an answer, and sometimes it may bring more information than a positive answer.

Xiang Kun basically ruled out the possibility that people around Lu Xiaoxia used her previous account. In five years, let alone other people, she might not even remember the password. And there is a high probability that when she was using it at the beginning, she was still in the second year of junior high school and did not bind her mobile phone, so she simply registered a new account to use it later.

So why would someone use this account to post an answer like that?

Judging from that answer, the person who posted it is likely to be a mutant or a vampire like Xiang Kun. If he simply wants to establish contact with the same kind, then just create a new account. There is no need to bother to get someone else account number.

Moreover, the content of the speeches of these two answers, if you read carefully, it feels like you are deliberately imitating girls. Maybe behind the screen is a big man who is stronger than Xiang Kun...

Using a little girl's account with a usage record, posting those contents in the tone of a little girl, is it to make other "similar" people think that the person who posted these two answers is just mutated and doesn't understand anything "New" vampire?

Compared with a new vest with nothing, it is obvious that an old ID with a usage record is easier to win people's trust.

Xiang Kun thought of how he felt when he saw that "giant owl" for the first time, and thought of the behavior of that "giant owl" risking being noticed by humans, approaching the human settlements to find him.

He thought of two words:

"Hunting", "Fishing".

However, according to Xiang Kun's judgment, there should be no official behind this.

Reason told Xiang Kun that he must never contact the respondent, and pretending that he didn't know anything or saw anything was the best way to avoid danger.

It is the safest thing to silently watch the answer and the answerer from the side.

However, after hesitating for less than 30 seconds, Xiang Kun made a decision. Since he had guessed the possible intentions of the other party in advance, it was hard to say who was telling and who was hiding.

You can observe first to see what the other party is from.

While thinking, the canary flew to the table and chirped twice. Xiang Kun looked back out of the window and realized that it was already dawn.

After motioning for the canary to fly onto his shoulder, Xiang Kun went to prepare bird food for it, then changed his clothes, took off his glasses, and went out.

When you put on your shoes, you find that your toes are pushed to the front, as if the shoes are a bit small?

Xiang Kun soon realized that it wasn't that the shoes were getting smaller, but that his feet had gotten a little bigger?

Looking back, it seems that during this period of time when I climbed the mountain at night, the load was increased to 80KG.

They are all barefoot again, so the strength is high, and after running a lot, the soles of the feet naturally become a little bigger to adapt to all-terrain running?

But Xiang Kun didn't care too much, anyway, there weren't many big ones, so they wouldn't have to change shoes right away.

Xiang Kun ran out of the community wearing short sleeves, shorts, and sneakers, and jogged towards the bustling area facing the rising sun. He tied a headscarf and took off his glasses. He looked very different from usual.

Of course, he didn't come out for a morning run to exercise, but just used the appearance of a morning run to make some necessary observations and "stepping on the spot".

Throughout the day, Xiang Kun wandered around the city and didn't go back until early in the morning. The next morning, he went to another city that was more than 200 kilometers away. He also wandered around the city for a whole day.

After returning to the city, it was already evening. After 7 o'clock, Xiang Kun went to a dumpling restaurant with his laptop. After ordering a large portion of dumplings, he sat in the corner, opened his laptop, started a virtual machine, and changed the I got the mac address and connected to the WIFI of a coffee shop not far away.

Then according to the previous plan and preparation, I went through two springboards, logged in to the TOR browser, opened Zhihu, registered a new account, and used a trial verification code receiving software to verify my mobile phone. This kind of software works on the same principle as the collection verification code on Taobao. There are devices such as Maochi behind it, and there are a bunch of mobile phone cards from various channels, which can perform various batch registrations and verifications. Many people who evaluate and steal coupons in batches will use this kind of thing, which is a part of black production.

However, Xiang Kun's version is only a trial version, it can only be used once in 24 hours, and it cannot be verified with the same number again. If someone wanted to check the number, there was a high probability that they would not be able to find the location. Even if they found it, they would not be able to find Xiang Kun. He hadn't paid for it anyway, as long as he didn't use the Zhihu account that was bound to the number.

After sending a private message to the "kasumi in August" with the newly registered account, he began to wait.

If the vampire behind "August's Kasumi" is really ready to "fish", it shouldn't take long for him to reply.

After the mutation, Xiang Kun had always suffered from persecution paranoia. No matter what happened, he would first predict the bad side.

If the vampire who seems to be "fishing" behind the scenes can get someone else's Zhihu account, then he should have some knowledge about the Internet, so it is assumed that he is a powerful hacker.

Although it is unlikely that the other party can find out Xiang Kun's specific IP through Zhihu's private message exchange, especially when he has made a lot of preparations, he still assumes that the other party has the ability to call official channels, and that the other party can find him real IP.

In this case, the other party's first target at the physical level is also the coffee shop where he used the WIFI. He may use the coffee shop's surveillance video to search for customers, and then check the device access records on the router.

But firstly, Xiang Kun was not in the coffee shop, and secondly, the MAC address of his device connected to WIFI had been modified. After finishing the work, even if the virtual machine was deleted, he could not be found.

Even this dumpling shop was "selected" by him - because there is no surveillance, the two surveillance cameras on the corner of the shop are all decorations!

Moreover, he was wearing a peaked cap, changed into new clothes and shoes, and stepped on the road beforehand, knowing how to avoid the security cameras along the way and the cameras of the shops on both sides, even if he was photographed, he would be from his back.

He basically considered all possible situations, and felt that he was at least invincible.

He may be powerless to let him infiltrate or invade, but it is not a big problem to let him guard the one-acre three-point land of his computer.
