Chapter 167 Computer Genius
"Three thousand years ago, the country was not unified. Warlords fought against each other, and many kingdoms existed. There were few reliable records, but there were many unofficial histories."
Jiang Wei took Qin Qinsen and the other two to the database.
When there was only half an hour left to drive to Yuxia Mountain, Qin Qinsen called a halt and turned around to look for external help.
Jiang Wei, the external aid, had just finished his work with Lao Jiu and other Yincha. Relying on the fact that Yincha were not living people and did not need to rest, he protected all those unlucky people who had had relationships with Luo Nanchen overnight.
Turning on the light in the database, Jiang Wei couldn't hide his regret. "Three thousand years have passed, and history is no longer traceable. Aside from the final winner, who would remember the rise and fall of the small southern nation?"
The only person who was recorded about the State of Liang was Princess Yiqing, who was brilliant in the early years and love-sick in the later years.
Qin Qinsen looked around, and saw bookshelves everywhere. "You won't let me read every book, will you?"
He had five floors of office space in the most upscale office building in the city center, but all the documents and files were on paper, and there wasn't even a computer for searching.
"Besides, there aren't many records. Why are you coming to the database?"
Can't we just search directly on their computer?
Jiang Wei did not answer, but just gestured for Qin Qinsen to go inside.
After staring at Jiang Wei's righteous face for two seconds, Qin Qinsen reluctantly took a step forward.
He had really only come to Jiang Wei to look up information. For an "outsider" like him, his understanding of history was nothing but a scramble. Modern history was fine, similar to previous periods. But the Liang State, three thousand years ago, was completely unknown.
That's why Qin Qinsen thought of Jiang Wei, who seemed quite reliable, but he was tricked by him.
After walking a few steps inside, a faint spiritual energy floated over and patted Qin Qinsen's forearm as if to guide the way.
Following that invisible and intangible aura, I walked around the huge bookshelf and saw an ordinary set of tables and chairs with a computer on top. The pictures and texts on the screen kept flashing, as if it was automatically searching for something.
Qin Qinsen didn't stay on the computer for long before turning around and looking at the bookshelf behind him.
"I'm in a hurry, so I have to say it quickly."
A huge human face appeared on the bookshelf and said softly, "Young man, don't be impatient."
"Then tell me, has the Emperor of Liang existed for three thousand years? Is he related to Guan Tianqin?"
The corners of his mouth froze, and the self-introduction he was about to say was blocked.
"Ahem, aren't you curious why I want to see you?"
"Are you a bookshelf spirit, a computer spirit, or some ancient document spirit? It doesn't matter. I'm here to get down to business, not to play some hermit-sage-meets-inexperienced-you-are-not-quite-a-youngster game."
Qin Qinsen was very rude and dissatisfied.
Originally, he had planned to come to the official side to check some information to see how deep the relationship between Liang State and Xuanmen was, which allowed their royal family to easily use the forbidden technique of regicide and seizing fortune, and also allowed the monarch of three thousand years ago to appear in today's mirage city.
“…I’m a computer spirit.”
"Then you should quickly investigate Guan Tianqin's background, his relationship with She Yizhi, the Luo family, the Tao family and the like, and what's going on with Wu Zheng." Qin Qinsen pulled out a chair and sat down, crossing his arms across his chest. His expression was no longer serious, but stern.
He looks like a strict teacher.
The images on the screen flickered more frequently and the text jumped much faster.
"I just wanted to talk to you."
"Just because your soul is attached to a computer doesn't mean you're a computer expert. Didn't anyone teach you to prioritize when you were alive?"
"..." The man who claimed to be a computer expert fell silent. "How did you figure that out?"
"This computer has spiritual energy, yes, but it can't cover up the negative energy in you. A ghost is a ghost. No matter how long you practice, your essence will not change." Qin Qinsen suddenly shook the mouse. "This is it, don't move."
Seeing that Qin Qinsen stopped talking, he looked very confused. "Yiqing has been smart since childhood and was taught by the Emperor of Liang. Didn't you know this a long time ago?"
"Where does this quote come from?"
"I need to check the historical inscriptions unearthed fifty years ago..."
"No, I already know."
Seeing him about to leave, an anxious look appeared on his face, "Master Qin, wait a minute!"
"If you have something to say, tell me quickly."
"What do I have to do to regain my human form?"
Qin Qinsen stopped talking and slapped the bookshelf where the face appeared. To put it simply... he slapped that face.
"You can get out the same way you got in." Qin Qinsen looked at the male ghost peeling off from the bookshelf. "Have you ever thought that if you can run from the computer to the bookshelf, you can naturally walk out openly?"
"I, I'm out?!" The male ghost was very excited and kept groping around. "I tried! I can walk from the computer to the bookshelf, to the tables, chairs, and light bulbs, but I can't leave these dead things."
So when he heard that there was another Xuanmen master serving as a consultant, he strongly requested Jiang Wei and others to bring the person over, otherwise he would not allow them to properly check the information and documents.
"Are you stupid?" Qin Qinsen said quickly, "Did you only study law and not read classics when you were alive?"
No wonder he died so young. I'm afraid he died because of his own stupidity.
Qin Qinsen's expression of disdain was too obvious. Even though he was still immersed in the joy of regaining his freedom, the male ghost felt a little embarrassed. "We didn't have such good conditions before. We were busy fighting at that time. Master and the others could only learn practical things. We were lucky to be able to save our lives. Later, everyone went down the mountain..."
Hearing this, Qin Qinsen's expression eased a little. If it were in that era, it would be normal.
"But... you can already build a database, so why don't you read more classics? Besides, you're in the government, so there are many talented people there, so it's easy to ask for help."
"Ah... they all thought I was a computer expert." The male ghost felt a little embarrassed.
Qin Qinsen looked suspicious and wanted to say something else, but found it was getting late, so he had to leave in a hurry.
"Is he out?" Jiang Wei asked when he saw Qin Qinsen's calm expression.
"...He said you thought he was a computer expert." Qin Qinsen's face was full of "There is an idiot in your department."
Jiang Wei held his forehead helplessly. "How is that possible? That computer belonged to the city library. It was confiscated because it was haunted. Those young people were on their first mission and were a little excited. They kept saying that the computer had become a spirit. Zhang Xu in the computer heard it and, perhaps still childish, told everyone he was a computer spirit. After a while, he really fooled himself."
So he became a ghost trapped inside his computer, helping everyone look up information and maintain the network, acting as a network administrator. As time went by, everyone assumed he was a severe internet addict who couldn't bear to leave his computer.
It's said that a person's obsessions during life determine their transformation after death. The same was true for this ghost. When the thoughts in his heart became physical, everyone saw the consequences.
