The owner of the mobile phone shop is named Wei Qun. He admits that he is a dishonest businessman who has deceived many novices in the industry by repairing phones and using some small tricks. But Wei Qun has rarely done these things lately. If you ask him why, it’s not because he has been sitting for too long and has hemorrhoids and constipation, but because an inexplicable melody always echoes in his mind. This melody can only be heard by him and not by others.
This afternoon, Wei Qun was repairing a customer’s phone when suddenly he frowned and asked his apprentice Xiao Zheng, “Have you heard anything?”
Xiao Zheng, who was beside him, asked curiously, “What sound, boss? I didn’t hear anything.”
“How could there be nothing? It’s that familiar melody,” Wei Qun said.
“Boss, is your recent illness acting up again? You should go see a doctor,” Xiao Zheng said.
“I saw a doctor. The doctor said there was nothing wrong. This is a mental disorder that does not affect my health. The doctor asked me to be more open-minded, to eat and drink whatever I like, and to buy whatever I like. Be good to myself,” Wei Qun said.
“You listen, that sound is back,” Wei Qun closed his eyes, listened carefully, and then hummed softly, “Hmm…hmm…dong, dong, dongdong, it’s probably this melody.”
“Boss, I didn’t hear anything,” Xiao Zheng still looked confused.
“As night falls and the air turns cool, the prosperity falls to the ground like frost…” A person humming a song walked over.
“That’s right, that’s the melody,” Wei Qun suddenly said.
“Boss, someone is singing. A customer has come,” Xiao Zheng said.
“Is it this melody?” Yang Jian suddenly sat in front of the counter. He put down a phone that was playing a song called “Liang Liang”.
“Yes, yes, yes, that’s the melody. How did you know?” Wei Qun was curious. When he opened his eyes and saw Yang Jian, he suddenly stood up in shock, waving his hands and retreating.
“Boss, we meet again,” Yang Jian smiled.
Wei Qun knelt down with a thud and cried, “Big brother, I was wrong.”
“You didn’t do anything wrong,” Yang Jian said.
“No, I was wrong, I’m guilty,” Wei Qun said.
“You’re not guilty,” Yang Jian said.
“I’m scum,” Wei Qun said.
“No, I’m the scum,” Yang Jian said. “I shouldn’t have hurt you. I’m repenting now.”
“No, no, no, I’m the scum. It’s right for you to teach me a lesson.”
“Well, since you said so, I won’t argue with you. You really are scum,” Yang Jian said.
“…””Yang Jian continued, ‘I didn’t come here to bother you, boss. We had such a pleasant collaboration last time, and I believe it will be the same this time. I have a phone here. Can you help me crack it? I just need the phone book inside.’”
He took out the phone that Hao Shaowen had left behind.
“Hurry, take it away. The phone, everything, I’ll give it all to you. Just don’t hurt me,” Wei Qun saw the phone and panicked, waving his hands and refusing.
It seems that he learned his lesson from last time.
“Can you unlock this password in an hour?” Yang Jian asked.
The apprentice Xiao Zheng beside him said, “It depends on the phone model.”
“Like this one?” Yang Jian threw the phone to him.
“Your phone is encrypted, but I can read the data from the phone’s storage. However, I have to dismantle it, and I’m afraid the phone may not work afterwards,” Xiao Zheng said.
“It doesn’t matter. The phone is not important. I just need the contact list. How long will it take?” Yang Jian asked.
“Half an hour.”
“Okay, if you can do it in half an hour, I’ll give you a thousand yuan,” Yang Jian said.
“No problem,” Xiao Zheng said.
“Boss, don’t hide. I have something to ask you,” Yang Jian knocked on the counter.
“Wh-what is it?” Wei Qun asked cautiously.
“Is there any way to call the other party without hearing the other ringtone?” Yang Jian asked.
“Upload the phone number to the computer, use the computer to dial, and then remote control it,” Wei Qun said nervously.
“Good idea. Boss, you are a professional. It seems I have found the right person. Do you have a computer here? Can I borrow it?” Yang Jian asked.
Wei Qun didn’t dare to refuse and said, “I have a computer at home. I can upload the data from here to my home computer and help you finish it through remote control.”
“Okay, let’s do that. By the way, is there anyone at your home?” Yang Jian asked again.
“No, it’s just me. It’s a rented house, and I’m the only one living here,” Wei Qun said.
“That’s good.”
Soon, the phone was cracked, and the phone book appeared on the computer screen next to Xiao Zheng.
“Boss, do you want to upload it?”
“Upload it, of course.” Wei Qun didn’t know what Yang Jian was going to do, but he didn’t dare to refuse.
This kind of person, no matter what strange requests he has, just agree first, make him happy, and then send him away.
“Do you mind if I operate it?” Yang Jian walked into the store.
“No, no, you can do whatever you want,” Wei Qun immediately said, gesturing to Xiao Zheng.Xiao Zheng pointed to a software on the screen and said, “Just click here and the call will go through. This is a number switch.”
“Good, there won’t be any sound on this end, right?” Yang Jian asked.
“There’s no echo here, so you won’t hear anything,” Xiao Zheng said.
“Good, you guys can leave for now. Come back after I’m done,” Yang Jian said.
Xiao Zheng was taken aback.
But before he could react, he was quickly pulled away by his boss, Wei Qun.
“Brother, we won’t disturb you. You go ahead and work,” Wei Qun said, eager to get away from Yang Jian.
Yang Jian ignored the two and entered the forum again. However, the forum had already been shut down. It seemed that what he and Liu Xiaoyu had discussed last time had worked, and the country had noticed the post spreading the curse.
But it didn’t matter.
He had already saved the audio file on his phone.
Copying and uploading it was simple.
In no time, the audio file was on another computer.
The first call went through.
Although Yang Jian couldn’t hear any sound, he clicked on the audio file as soon as the software showed that the call was connected.
“Knock, knock~!”
A heavy, oppressive knocking sound echoed in the room of the rental house in the nearby residential building.
The sound wasn’t loud, and no one heard it.
Only the person on the other end of the call heard it.
Yang Jian repeated the simple operation two or three times before hanging up and moving on to the next call.
With the continuation of the call list, some people in Da Chang City began to receive the strange calls that Yang Jian had opened.
A CEO of a company was in a meeting when his private phone rang.
“Hello, Hao Shaowen, what’s up?” the CEO answered the phone.
However, there was no sound on the other end of the phone, and it was quiet and somewhat scary. Only a strange voice came through the phone and into his ear.
“Knock, knock~!”
It sounded like knocking on a door, but it was heavy and oppressive, almost suffocating.
The sound rang two or three times before the call was hung up.
“Hmm?”
The CEO was puzzled, not knowing what the point of Hao Shaowen’s call was.
Never mind, he thought, and put down the phone to continue the meeting.
In a swimming pool, a bald and muscular man was doing backstroke.
Suddenly, a lackey came with a phone and said, “Boss, your phone is ringing.”
“Give it to me.”The bald, strong man spat out some water and then picked up the phone, “Hello, Hao Shaowen, I heard you recently took on a big deal. Can you handle it? Do you need your brother’s help? If you need anything, just say it, I won’t even frown. Of course, the price is negotiable.”
“Knock, knock~!”
But the response he got wasn’t from Hao Shaowen, it was a strange knocking sound.
“Huh?”
The bald man seemed to be stunned for a moment, but then he realized something was wrong. He quickly closed his phone and said, “Throw away your phone, and don’t use it again. Also, check if Hao Shaowen is really dead.”
“Yes, boss.” His subordinate replied.
“Did he… encounter a ghost?” The bald man furrowed his brows, looking somewhat solemn.
Despite his caution, the knocking sound still rang out.
An invisible curse had already been placed on him.
No one could guard against this kind of targeted human transmission.
Meanwhile, in a luxurious villa.
A wealthy young man had just finished playing golf and was sitting down to drink some water and rest when the phone next to him rang.
“Is this Hao Shaowen?”
The young man answered the phone, “Hello, how did it go? Was it successful?”
“Knock, knock~!” The knocking sound came through.
The young man’s face suddenly changed.
Not only was there no sound of Hao Shaowen on the phone, but this knocking sound was also so bizarre that it didn’t sound like a person knocking at all, but rather… a ghost.
“What is this…”
The young man’s face grew solemn as he thought for a moment, and then his expression turned fierce. He directly crushed the phone in his hand; “Is it the recently registered Class A malicious ghost… code-named, Ghost Knocking?”
“Is it man-made or accidental?”
