Chapter 173 Playing Monster Hunter
After a while.

Zhou Yuan resumed live streaming.

"Kids, I'm back.

There was a live broadcast incident just now, and the connection was interrupted for a while, but it’s not a big problem, let’s continue catching ghosts.”

Many people could tell that Zhou Yuan's tone was a little off, and they typed their greetings:
"I heard a woman's voice just now. Could it be that the anchor has been possessed by a female ghost?"

"Possession! The host must have been possessed by another spirit!"

"I've seen similar abnormal events, called 'ghost possession', where evil spirits seek out living people to reincarnate, thereby blending into human society and lurking to practice. Once they become powerful, the consequences will be disastrous!"

"Hurry up and go to the West to invite the Buddha!"

"Click it unintentionally, and the bad luck will go away..."

"The five stars are shining brightly, illuminating the underworld. Thousands of gods and saints are protecting my true soul. The giant beasts of the sky will subdue the five weapons. The five demons of the sky will be destroyed. Wherever you are, all the gods will welcome you. Hurry up and obey the command!"

Zhou Yuan didn't pay attention to the barrage of comments. He walked up the stairs with his heart pounding and his mind racing.

He never expected that Chen Guangxi would actually come over and question him face to face.

Not only him, but the audience were also shocked.

After all, this was too sudden.

However, this is consistent with Chen Guangxi's character of not liking to drag things out, and it also shows that the relationship between them is very good. If they were not familiar with each other, how could he come here specifically to confront each other.

And judging from what Chen Guangxi said, she had been waiting for news from Zhou Yuan in the past few hours, and she would agree as long as he dared to say it.

But what he waited for in the end was Zhou Yuan's escape.

It was probably because of this that Chen Guangxi came over directly to make things clear, so that Zhou Yuan would not continue to avoid her during this period, which would lead to the gradual estrangement between the two.

When Zhou Yuan thought about how he had ruined the opportunity with his own hands, he felt a strong sense of regret and slammed his head against the wall.

If he had the courage to attack, it would have definitely worked, but he chose to be a coward, like a cowardly lizard...

How could a weak man gain the recognition of a dragon?
Bang, bang, bang. Zhou Yuan banged his head against the wall repeatedly. Although he still had a chance, the feeling of failure was really frustrating and regretful.

"It's over, the anchor is banging his head against the wall, he's gone crazy!"

"It's not scary at all. I didn't feel any fear when I was curled up in bed."

"Should we call the police?"

"Don't worry, it must be a show effect. The anchor is very strong, how could he be seriously injured by a mere kid."

"The acting is average, feels a bit too much."

The number of comments in the live broadcast room skyrocketed. This strange behavior without any warning intensified the atmosphere of supernatural and horror, making people unable to help but retract their feet outside the quilt.

Zhou Yuan crashed for a long time before stopping. The whole building was shaking under the force of the impact.

Such a big commotion naturally attracted the last wandering evil ghost.

At the end of the corridor, a balding middle-aged man in a plaid shirt staggered over.

Zhou Yuan shook his head, put aside all the messy thoughts, and looked at the prompt that popped up on the Eye of Appraisal:

[A 35-year-old programmer had just had his second child before he died. His boss saw this and was sure that he would not dare to leave, so he was assigned all the dirty and tiring work. Finally, he died of overwork. After his death, the company was dissolved and the boss fled without any compensation to his family.]

Zhou Yuan was filled with rage at once, the soul of a former worker burning in the flames, and he knew he had to strike hard at this black-hearted capitalist!
He took a picture of the programmer's ghost's face and sent it to Gu Chacha, asking her to look up the person's identity information.

"Family, I am here to teach you another way to exorcise ghosts."

Zhou Yuan said, "Evil ghosts are formed because they have various obsessions before they die, so if we can help them eliminate their obsessions, we can set them free.

Of course, this method depends on the ghost. This method is obviously not suitable for aggressive ghosts, and it is also obviously not suitable for ghosts that have regained self-awareness.

A ghost like the one in front of us that moves slowly, is not very aggressive, and has not yet regained self-awareness is the best choice."

"I am looking for his true identity through channels. Only by knowing the ghost's past can we better judge what obsession they had before they died."

Zhou Yuan paused for more than ten seconds, then narrated the cause of the programmer's death, which immediately aroused indignation among the audience in the live broadcast room.

Gu Chacha quickly found out the programmer's real identity, the companies he had worked for, and the personal information of his superiors and boss.

At present, the company's boss has already moved to America and is living a carefree life, while his immediate superior has joined a large Internet company. He has a very bad reputation within the company and has been the subject of many complaints, but because of his "connections", his position is very stable.

These two people are not clean. They are good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. In addition, the sudden death of employees in the past is enough to make them suffer a lot - in unusual circumstances, the offenders are always severely punished.

Gu Chacha immediately contacted the Control Bureau and reported the matter.

After Zhou Yuan got the news, he said to the programmer ghost: "Brother, I have solved your problem. The boss who assigned you too much work and the boss who evaded compensation will be arrested and sent to prison soon. At that time, I will also compensate your family with a large sum of money, which is enough for your family to live a stable life."

The programmer ghost paused when he heard this, and stared at Zhou Yuan deeply with his tired and bloodshot eyes. After a long time, he nodded slightly, and his figure gradually became illusory and finally disappeared completely.

"This will help him get rid of his worries." Zhou Yuan said softly.

In the live broadcast room, barrages of comments flew by densely.

"He really made me cry to death."

"No, isn't this ghost a little naive? Is he so sure that the host can help him solve his obsession?"

"Maybe it's because the host doesn't look like someone who would lie?"

"Leave the extraordinary things to your own devices."

"Host, you are so kind. I didn't bring any cutlery to school. Can you send a fork to my elementary school?"

"Alas, I suddenly feel a little desperate about this world."

Zhou Yuan saw the last comment, raised his eyebrows, and read it out: "Suddenly feel a little hopeless about this world? What's wrong with you, audience? If you feel depressed, you can chat with me online."

Soon, the audience member who spoke typed a reply:

"It's not that I want to commit suicide... This guy has been dead for so long. If it weren't for you, the anchor, his superiors and boss might never have received the punishment they deserve."

"He caused a person's death, but he doesn't have to bear any responsibility... Then what's the point of having laws? What's the point of fairness?" "Moreover, if the anchor is not a Beyonder but an ordinary person, and wants to seek justice for the deceased without encountering any supernatural events, then I think the result will most likely be nothing."

"From this point, we can see that society is always cruel to ordinary people, and in the extraordinary era, this cruelty will undoubtedly intensify endlessly."

"Ordinary people are insignificant in front of Extraordinary people. They will not be able to seek justice after being bullied by Extraordinary people. If they are unlucky, they may even be killed on the spot."

"Just thinking about a world without any fairness makes me feel terrified and suffocated."

There is some truth in what he said.

Although the Bureau of Control, the Federation, and even the major supernatural organizations and churches all claim that everyone is equal, supernatural beings and ordinary people enjoy equal rights.

But everyone knows that equality for all is a joke, and it is not the case in practice. Rich people, officials... these people who do not have extraordinary powers can shit on the heads of ordinary people, let alone extraordinary people?
All are equal, but some are more equal than others.

Zhou Yuan organized his words and said:
“Just like what this viewer said, society has always been dark, cruel and full of injustice. People’s hearts are complicated and full of tangled interests, so this kind of case that cannot be properly handled happens.

This kind of thing is inevitable in any era, including the extraordinary era.

But there is no need to be too pessimistic. The existence of the Control Bureau can inhibit the occurrence of similar incidents to a certain extent. The Control Bureau will not ignore any incident related to supernatural forces. "

The emergence of extraordinary people is undoubtedly a huge challenge to the stability of human social order. With power comes ambition, and as the number of ambitious people increases, the social order will be shaken.

Only by suppressing it with greater force can we prevent the collapse of civilized social order.

And the Control Bureau is the behemoth that suppresses everything.

Zhou Yuan hurriedly ended the live broadcast because he did not actually answer the other party's question.

——What should ordinary people do if they want to seek justice?
Cases that do not involve supernatural powers are ordinary cases, and the Control Bureau will not take them over. As for ordinary cases, redress is fruitless and falls into oblivion... There are too many similar situations.

Zhou Yuan really couldn't think of any good response, so he had to end the broadcast. If he let them continue talking, the live broadcast room might really be closed.

This is a problem that has existed in human society for thousands of years. To be honest, it is really beyond the scope to ask someone with a junior high school education to answer it.

Perhaps, one day in the future, human civilization will be able to evolve to a glorious height, achieving true harmony, fairness, justice, and equality for all.

But that is destined to be a long, long time later.

Zhou Yuan put the thoughts behind him again. There was no point in thinking too much. All he could do at this stage was to improve his own strength as much as possible so as to face the upcoming golden age.

Back in the car, Gu Cha Cha said in surprise: "We received 8.5 million just from gifts during this live broadcast! And this is the net income after deducting the share and taxes!

And the number of fans has skyrocketed by three million!"

"So many?" Zhou Yuan was a little surprised. This number is definitely top-tier in the live broadcast industry.

And this is only the first day of broadcasting.

He checked the collection status of the power of faith and found that the reserve of divine power had increased significantly to one third.

[Night Power: 29/100]

Thanks to the huge fan base, the speed of acquiring the power of faith can be said to be very fast. If you can continue at this speed, the divine power can be replenished in two or three days.

And in terms of level, I only need 50 experience points to reach level 39, which is not far from level 4.

Not counting his previous cultivation, Zhou Yuan became an extraordinary person at the end of May. Now it is the beginning of August, and he is about to be promoted to the 5th level in just over two months. This speed of promotion will definitely make people drop their jaws if they tell others about it.

"By the way, Holy Son, I just saw Chen Guangxi walking out of the building. What happened between you two?" Gu Cha Cha asked with a gossipy look on her face. She had been paying attention to the live broadcast room, so she could naturally tell that it was Chen Guangxi who was playing tricks before.

Zhou Yuan's expression darkened: "Little kid, stop asking questions."

"Tsk, isn't it just a failed confession? That's no big deal." Gu Cha Cha had already seen through everything.

Zhou Yuan was stunned: "How do you know?"

"Even an elementary school student can tell that you're distracted, let alone a love veteran like me."

Gu Chacha shook her head and lamented, "Every Saint before you was an ultimate scumbag, who could have played around with so many women without getting upset. I never thought that you would be driven to lose your mind by a woman. It's really lamentable."

"..." Zhou Yuan was speechless and could only say helplessly: "Drive quickly."

Although Gu Chacha was a high school student, she was a Beyonder, so she could drive directly on the road. As she started the car, she chattered:

"Let's not talk about how outstanding you are, Holy Son. Just because you are so handsome, you can pick any woman you want. Sleep with one in the morning, one at noon, and one in the afternoon. Sleep with three different women a day. There is no need to hang yourself on the same tree.

I watched the live broadcast of the reality show. If that doesn't work, can I introduce you to a few suitable mature older sisters? I guarantee you'll be satisfied. You can even have them all and play group sex together."

"That's enough. I haven't failed completely. I still have a chance." Zhou Yuan couldn't help it.

"Uh... isn't that just like fishing for a dog? Maintaining an ambiguous relationship, it seems like there is a chance, but in fact the distance is far. When you try to get close, she will stay away from you, and if you want to give up, she will come close to you, giving you opportunities and hope, making you fall into endless reverie and obediently offer everything."

Gu Cha Cha was a little embarrassed. "I have used this method countless times. I always hook those boys. How can you still...Okay, I forgot that you have never been in a relationship, and you have not even had much contact with women."

After saying that, she let out a long sigh.

"What the hell..."

"Did I say something wrong?" Gu Cha Cha said confidently.

She paused for a moment and said, "Come to think of it, why do you like Chen Guangxi? Just because she fits your XP? That kind of abstract personality... I don't think anyone would like it."

"and many more!"

Before Zhou Yuan could speak, Gu Chacha thought of a key clue:

"I remember you're a Monster Hunter player, right?"

"Yeah, what's the matter?" Zhou Yuan said.

"That solves the case."

Gu Chacha snapped her fingers and said confidently, "You are a dragon fetishist!"

Zhou Yuan: “…”

He wanted to say something but stopped himself, but after holding it in for a long time, he found that he couldn't come up with any excuses.
