Chapter 184: Chapter 184 Don’t Seek Death

Translator: 549690339

Xiang Kun first “hooked up” with “Kasumi of August” online on the night of

October 7th. The agreed “meet-up” was scheduled for two in the afternoon on October 8th. Guo Tianxiang was eliminated in the early hours of the 9th, while Xiang Kun arrived at Yangcheng on the 12th.

From Guo Tianxiang’s memories involving Mijoe, this dirty-braided female hacker had already departed at around three in the afternoon on the eighth to return to Yangcheng.

Under normal circumstances, she would reach Yangcheng before the 9th.

If she sent that email on the 11th at 1 am, it confirms that on the 9th and 10th, she noticed the police investigation in Yangcheng and found out that “that vampire” had located her.

Normally, the only other “vampire” Mijoe and Guo Tianxiang knew of was Xiang Kun.

The memories related to Guo Tianxiang and Mijoe that he had reviewed didn’t mention other “vampires”.

However, Xiang Kun was sure that he wasn’t the one who found Mijoe’s location, he hadn’t even tried to.

Could it be that she mistook the police investigation for his actions?

No, the meaning of her first sentence was leaning more towards the idea that “that vampire” used the internet to find her. The police likely started investigating her because of her associations with Guo Tianxiang. They would have noticed her and identified her through transportation details and a variety of surveillance means, without having to take the long way around.

The reason she assumed it was “that vampire” is probably because the other party traced her through the means she used to contact Xiang Kun.

Regardless of how well disguised, all online activities have the possibility of revealing the real IP address. The difficulty of finding it just varies.

When she was testing the water with Xiang Kun online, she inadvertently exposed many opportunities that could be traced back. But Xiang Kun remained cautious, only ensuring his location wasn’t discovered, never considering making a “counter-attack”, because he wasn’t sure he could avoid falling into a trap.

But those “opportunities” were exposed to Xiang Kun, it would be hard for others to know about them.

Except for one thing…

The reply under the question, “What is it like to be a vampire?” , and the account, “Kasumi of August”.

No wonder Xiang Kun found that question had been deleted on Zhihu during his return journey from Yangcheng, even the account “Kasumi of August” was shown as [Deactivated].

Is it possible that another vampire tracked down Mijoe’s real location through that question on Zhihu?

Circumstantially?

It’s possible, but unlikely.

If it were an ordinary with Mijoe’s real IP address. But Mijoe herself is a hacker who regularly stirs up trouble online. Whether with her vigilance or techniques to hide her real IP, she wouldn’t lack either.

Unless Mijoe was reckless, Xiang Kun didn’t believe any single hacker acting alone could trace her real address solely through that question.

If, after returning to Yangcheng, someone else attempted to probe Mijoe using the identity of a “vampire” through private messages on Zhihu, and during that process, she was tricked and ended up revealing her location. Then in her email, she wouldn’t have referred to that person as “that vampire”, but instead “another vampire”.

Could there be another possibility that this email is bait?
