There is no name of the game, and there is no text on the outer packaging of the game, only a picture with a strange picture.

The thread seems to be broken here.

You Ming looked at the blueprint on the package and frowned.

This picture uses a lot of messy colors, no figures, and no fixed patterns.

Like a vortex, but without the orderly texture of the vortex.

Although the colors are messy, they are very distinct, but these colors will not make people feel comfortable, but will make people feel depressed.

If You Ming saw such a game disc package while shopping, he would not buy it.

But there is no doubt that such packaging is mixed in the packaging of all game screens, which will definitely attract the attention of many people.

As long as it can attract people, it can find prey.

Jiang Yu'an sat on the sofa and looked at You Ming. He liked to see You Ming thinking seriously. At this time, You Ming would have an irresistible charm.

Li Mei's uncle's WeChat account and Penguin account were all found out by him.

As for the password, it can only be cracked by professionals. You Ming has no friends in this field, so he can only look for it online.

The other party didn't ask You Ming why he wanted to crack the password, and he didn't care what to do after cracking the password.

But after a while, the other party sent the password to You Ming.

This kind of cracking is all software, and it is not a difficult job.

You Ming logged into Li Mei's uncle's WeChat, but there was no chat history in it.

He checked Penguin Records again, and this time there was one, because Li Mei's younger uncle Zhao Hong started a business.

The earliest chat records can be traced back to five years ago.

But You Ming only read the last two months.

Zhao Hong is indeed dating online.

The object is indeed a man, but it is not so much a man as a boy.

But they never met, they only communicated on the Internet, and Zhao Hong also transferred money to the boy several times, because the boy needed to buy a lot of things.

Game consoles, figures.

I want to sing and travel with my friends.

Zhao Hong was very careful at the beginning, only transferring tens of yuan or one or two hundred yuan at a time.

He was relieved when he found that the other party ran away without cheating money, and was still willing to start a video chat with him.

The money he got from his brother and sister-in-law was actually not much spent on himself.

You Ming also found that the figurines he bought were of low quality, and one could tell they were pirated copies, or the cheapest ones.

The same goes for comic books.

All the money went into the hands of his little boyfriend.

He packaged himself as a young rich second generation in front of his little boyfriend.

The family runs a company and travels abroad half of the time every year. He doesn't need to work hard to live a life that ordinary people can't live a lifetime.

But he doesn't know that his lies and packaging are actually vulnerable.

You Ming could also sense from his little boyfriend's words that he had already discovered that Zhao Hong's packaging was fake.

After searching for about an hour, You Ming finally found the record of their talking about the game.

Zhao Hong's screen name is very simple, just a capital c.

The online name of the little boyfriend is Heartless Jun. He is a lively boy who can talk endlessly.

The little boyfriend in the photo is a very clean boy with single eyelids, but he is very sunny when he smiles.

The little boyfriend sent a message to Zhao Hong saying that his friend introduced him to a game, which was very exciting and fun, and had to be played by hand to pass the level.

Zhao Hong is a person who is very confident in his skills. He likes fighting games and is not very interested in plot games, so he quickly expressed his desire to buy them.

But the little boyfriend said that the game was imported from abroad and still under development.

It was secretly sold by employees of the game company, so there is no way to buy it on the market.

This stimulated Zhao Hong. Originally, he was only a little interested in this game, but after hearing the news, his words revealed that he had to.

"He's provoking Zhao Hong." You Ming said to Jiang Yu'an who had already walked behind him.

Jiang Yu'an was also watching, and he said, "Smarter than Zhao Hong."

The little boyfriend knew what Zhao Hong was afraid of, so he kept prodding Zhao Hong.

Zhao Hong was afraid that the lie would be exposed, and he would feel powerless and ashamed after being exposed, so he wanted to continue more lies for one lie, and the way to maintain this kind of lie was money.

But asking for money is not easy, he wants to reach out to his brother and sister-in-law, he has no special skills, and he is unwilling to go to work, so every time he asks for money, what is hidden under his natural and confident appearance is a heart full of self-esteem and shame. fried heart.

So his self-confidence and self-esteem must be constructed in the game world.

In games and the Internet, he is another person. He is proud and proud. He has a wealthy family background and powerful game skills. He is an idol in the eyes of some people.

It propped up his shaky self-esteem.

What he lacks in the real world must be found in the game world.

The more he doesn't face up to the reality, the deeper and deeper he is trapped in the virtual world, and he can't even stand a little doubt.

The little boyfriend only needs to say: "You are so good at playing games, you will definitely pass this game the fastest."

He was so excited that he wanted to go to every game store to find it.

You Ming scrolled down a few more pages and found the address that his little boyfriend told Zhao Hong.

The little boyfriend said that it looked like an adult goods store, but actually had a game store with compartments, and there were many cheap pirated discs in it. The games he said could only be found in that store.

The next topic of their chat revolved around this game.

But Zhao Hong became more and more crazy day by day.

At first he just said that the game was difficult and he needed more time.

The little boyfriend will comfort him gently, telling him that the fastest clearance time of this game will also take four months.

But later, the little boyfriend became very impatient and told Zhao Hong not to complain to him anymore. Only trash can't even clear a game.

When he asked Zhao Hong for money, he stopped looking for reasons.

Just say: "I need money, I want three thousand."

"How much money do you have now? Give me two thousand."

and many more.

"Do you think his boyfriend can play this game?" You Ming raised his head and asked Jiang Yu'an.

Jiang Yu'an said, "He's already playing."

The little boyfriend never uses a commanding tone when asking for money. He will show weakness and hope to get Zhao Hong's help. Zhao Hong is lying, and so is he.

Every time he asked for money, he would use the same method and the same tone.

This is his habit.

Habits are the hardest things to change.

It's like some people are still furious and lose their temper one second, and then they answer the phone and become polite and gentle again.

Unless you experience major changes, you will never let the emotions of the last second affect the development of the next second.

"Looks like we have to ask him." You Ming stood up and took out the sports jacket from the closet.

Since his recovery, his muscles have also become healthy. He doesn't do a lot of exercise and eats healthy, so his muscles are smooth, he looks thin when he wears clothes, and he looks fleshy when he takes off his clothes.

When Jiang Yu'an's feelings are strong, he also likes to bite his neck and biceps.

He himself felt very good, he didn't like his limp appearance very much, it reminded him of when he was sick and weak, the feeling of powerlessness was always with him.

The boy did not disclose his specific address on the Internet, but only said that he lived in Wuhan.

But after You Ming did the calculations, he found that even the approximate city was fake, and the boy lived in this city, in a building that was about to be abandoned.

This building is very old, so old that when people pass by, they will curiously ask why it hasn't been demolished yet.

The residents inside have almost moved, and only one or two families may still live in it.

The living environment in this tube building is even worse than the community where Zhao Hong lives.

You Ming didn't know that there was such a building in this city. It was actually abandoned, but there were still people living in it.

Because there are only a few households, there is only electricity, and the water and gas are all gone.

They found the door of the room where the boy lived and knocked on the door.

The people inside seemed unprepared, and opened the door without asking. It seems that he has always had a lot of visitors.

Appearing in front of You Ming and Jiang Yu'an was a boy wearing shorts and a shirt and dyed blond hair. He was indeed no different from the person in the photo, but he was very thin, his arms and legs were unnaturally thin, and he also looked at him Looking at You Ming and Jiang Yu'an, he said in an indifferent tone that didn't fit his age: "Who are you? What are you here for?"

He folded his arms around his chest, raised his chin slightly, and showed a gesture of resistance.

You Ming said straight to the point: "Zhao Hong is dead."

The boy frowned: "Who?"

You Ming: "Your boyfriend."

The boy cut it: "I don't have a boyfriend, and the last one broke up for half a year."

You Ming: "You lie to him that you live in the one in Wuhan."

Only now did the boy remember and shrugged his shoulders: "That's called an online dating partner, not a boyfriend."

You Ming nodded: "Yes, it's also a cash machine."

The boy laughed, showing his canine teeth, and praised You Ming: "You're quite apt."

After boasting, he was still very calm, and asked casually: "How did you die? No wonder he didn't reply to me when I sent him a message recently."

"Would you like to come in and sit?"

The boy stepped out of the way.

There was a rancid smell in the house, the smell of unthrown garbage piled up in the living room.

There are also some clothes that have been worn but have not been washed.

Broken food that has been opened.

Boy: "Sit whatever you want."

But there is almost no place to stand here, let alone a place to sit.

You Ming walked to the living room, and the boy had already swept away the piles of clothes and snack packages on the sofa, and put the game controller aside.

You Ming asked him: "Are you playing the game you introduced to Zhao Hong?"

The boy shook his head: "I played it a few times and didn't pass the level. Only those game freaks like them insist on clearing the level, otherwise they won't be able to sleep."

His dream is to become a cashier, not a gaming geek, so he doesn't have much obsession with the game, it's just a prop he uses to pass the time.

"Do you have a game disc here?" You Ming said, "Can you show it to me?"

Boy: "Then I have to look for it, as you can see, my place is as messy as a garbage dump."

The boy didn't seem worried that this was Zhao Hong's relative. He searched and said, "How did he die?"

You Ming said succinctly: "Insane."

The boy let out an "oh" and muttered to himself, "He's really mentally abnormal."

He seemed to be telling someone else's story rather than participating in it himself.

The boy said: "He said that his parents and elder brother would give him whatever he wanted since he was a child. He also said that he didn't have to worry about anything. When he was young, his parents would take care of him, and when he grew up, his elder brother would take care of him. Everything else is fine."

The boy smiled, a smile full of sarcasm.

Then the boy went back to telling his own story, making no secret of the fact that he was a liar.

He said that his father ran away with a woman outside, and his mother was with another man within half a year after his father ran away, because that man had a son and was unwilling to bear him anymore, so his mother threw him to I met my grandparents who lived in the tube building.

Grandparents don't have jobs, so they can only live on subsistence allowances, only a few hundred yuan a month.

He didn't go to school after graduating from junior high school.

Hanging around with the friends you met on the street, sometimes you can find money, sometimes you can't.

His grandparents couldn't control him either. After his grandparents passed away, he continued to rent in the Tongzilou.

Because this house was not bought by grandparents.

Most of the fox friends and dog friends still have family members. After experiencing teenage rebellion, they still go home to learn a craft, find a job, and live an ordinary life.

But the boy couldn't return to his normal life. After one group of good friends left, he met another group of good friends.

Also found another way to get money.

It is to use one's own original capital.

He said to You Ming: "If you are like this, it can be worth more than five thousand a night. If it is in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, it can be worth more than ten thousand."

He said to Jiang Yu'an again: "You too."

Then he said, "I'm out of shape."

He is not ashamed, online dating is just his sideline.

He smiled at You Ming: "I don't want their money either, of course, it's very good if they are willing to give it to me."

You Ming asked him: "What if Zhao Hong really likes you?"

The boy found the disc from under the sofa, stood up, ripped his clothes, and handed the disc to You Ming. When he smiled, his eyes were empty: "Do you think he likes me?"

You Ming didn't speak.

The boy glanced at Jiang Yu'an, and said to You Ming: "He likes to be hugged by me, and I like that he cares about me occasionally, and is willing to give me money."

He also said, "Do you think I'm skinny?"

Before You Ming could reply, he asked himself and answered: "Because I'm sick and I'm in treatment, and I can continue working after I'm cured."

"Otherwise, it will be troublesome for customers to find out that they are infected by me." The boy sighed, "I don't know how long it will take to be treated."

"Zhao Hong had an accident yesterday morning." You Ming said, "Did he have any abnormalities before that?"

Although he read the chat records, You Ming didn't know Zhao Hong after all, and he didn't have time to read and analyze those records one by one.

The boy turned his head to look at Jiang Yu'an who was standing at the door, swallowed, and said with a smile: "You let him sleep with me for one night, and I'll tell you."

"I don't charge for his words." The boy winked suggestively at You Ming.

You Ming smiled at him.

The boy's eyes lit up: "Can you?"

You Ming shook his head at him.

The boy said disappointedly: "Then I won't tell you."

You Ming: "You don't need to tell me, anyway, the person who died was someone who had nothing to do with you."

After finishing speaking, You Ming stood up, picked up the disc that the boy put on the table, and put money on the table: "Thank you."

It wasn't until You Ming walked to the door that the boy gritted his teeth and said, "Come back, I'll tell you."

"His kind of person is actually quite easy to understand." The boy took a sip of Coca-Cola and said naturally and familiarly, "It's changed a little bit a while ago."

"He lied to me that he was a rich second generation, and that he traveled everywhere." The boy laughed loudly. "It's very fake. He even sent photos and luxury goods, but he didn't even remove the watermark."

Boy: "But he is willing to pretend that I am also willing to cooperate with him."

"Who wants to play online dating now? Isn't there enough fun in the colorful world outside?" The boy curled his lips, "It's not like I haven't played with the rich second generation before."

You Ming waited for him to talk about Zhao Hong.

But when the boy talked, his thoughts diverged, and he talked about himself for a while, and Zhao Hong for a while.

There are also emotional entanglements between him and others.

You Ming didn't urge him, just listened closely, acting as an excellent tree hole.

After about half an hour, the boy returned to the topic.

"It seems that from the beginning of playing games, he often talks about it, saying that someone is watching him on the Internet, he only believes me, only calls me, and says that these things cannot be said on the Internet." The boy said, "He Said that his brother is a sheep-headed monster, and his sister-in-law is a chicken essence, and they have to discuss how to fatten him up and kill him every night."

Boy: "One time he called me and said he was in a supermarket, and the supermarket was full of monsters."

"It is said that weasels are at the cashier, and all the customers are bloody, and there are maggots on the meat."

"He said he was coming to me, that the world was crazy and he was going to take me to safety."

Boy: "Did he commit suicide?"

You Ming nodded: "It is."

The boy rubbed his eyes: "I guess if I promised him to come to me, he would kill me first and then commit suicide."

The boy sometimes speaks exaggeratedly, his facial features are very protruding, and his eyes are especially scary because of his excessive thinness.

Can't concentrate when talking.

You Ming frowned and asked, "How are you feeling recently?"

The boy threw the empty water bottle on the ground, raised his head and said, "It would be nice if there was more money."

He turned to look at You Ming: "If you have friends who need service, you can introduce them to me. If you wear a condom, it shouldn't be contagious."

"I will give you a friendly price."

When You Ming finished asking all his questions and left the boy's house, the boy stood at the door and watched You Ming and Jiang Yu'an leave.

You Ming turned his head to look, and the boy even blew him a kiss.

The boy smiled wantonly. His teeth were a little yellow. He had smoked for many years and hadn't had his teeth cleaned, but he was young and didn't make people feel sick. When You Ming was about to turn back and go downstairs, he suddenly froze.

He turned his head quickly and ran towards the boy.

At this moment, the boy climbed over the already crumbling guardrail.

— jumped down.

The boy closed his eyes and waited to die, but there was no expected pain.

He opened his eyes, only to find himself being grabbed by You Ming's wrist.

Jiang Yu'an stretched out his hand, and You Ming easily pulled the boy up.

The boy just sat on the ground in a daze, looking at You Ming stupidly, his brain was confused, and he asked strangely: "Why are you dragging me?"

You Ming: "Are you going to commit suicide?"

The boy shook his head: "No, I'm just seeing you off."

"By the way, someone over there greeted me just now."

He pointed to the building opposite.

Then he said, "I'm going to go over and ask him what he's talking about."

Then the boy followed his own line of sight, his expression changed, his eyes widened, and he turned to look at You Ming in disbelief.

"It's the aisle! It was the aisle just now!"

Now You Ming and Jiang Yu'an can't leave.

The boy suddenly felt very cold, he held You Ming's arm tightly, his lips were trembling, and his upper and lower teeth collided to make a sound.

You Ming took the boy to open a hotel. The boy's home is really not a place suitable for talking or resting.

"what--!"

The moment he stepped out of the tube building, the boy suddenly let out a scream, broke away from You Ming's hand holding him and squatted on the ground.

You Ming was also taken aback. He squatted down, took off his coat and put it on the boy.

"What's wrong?" You Ming lowered his voice.

The boy trembled and wanted to get into You Ming's arms.

But before he jumped in, Jiang Yu'an held down his shoulders.

The boy was no longer trembling.

Then the boy obediently followed You Ming to a nearby hotel.

There are no hotels around here, they are all hotels. The environment of the hotel is not good, it is about a little bit better than the guest house.

This is a little bit of the sound insulation effect.

You Ming bought the boy a cup of hot milk downstairs.

The first thing the boy said was: "My name is Feng Yan."

You Ming also made a formal self-introduction: "My name is You Ming, and this is my lover, Jiang Yu'an."

Feng Yan grinned, he looked at Jiang Yu'an's side face, his eyes were a little blurred, but he quickly retracted them.

"Your lover is so handsome." Feng Yan lowered his voice as if whispering, "Be careful that he is snatched away."

You Ming smiled and said to him, "No."

Feng Yan looked at You Ming with envy in his eyes.

"You're so confident," he said.

Be confident in your own charm, confident in your relationship with your lover.

After drinking the milk, Feng Yan had foam around his mouth, which made him look childish like his peers.

He told You Ming a lot.

I also visit Jiang Yu'an from time to time.

His eyes focused on Jiang Yu'an's chest and abdomen, looking up and down over and over again.

You Ming turned sideways with no expression on his face, blocking Jiang Yu'an.

Feng Yan would also joke with You Ming about the funny people and things he met.

They will also say that Zhao Hong is a very poor person.

"I think he may not know who he is." Feng Yan said in a pitiful tone.

Feng Yan: "He doesn't know how to get along with people."

Jiang Yu'an was sitting on the sofa next to him. He was leaning against the sofa with his legs wide open, wild and rebellious.

Feng Yan's eyes moved from his chest to Jiang Yu'an's legs.

Jiang Yu'an: "..."

He silently sat up straight and sat upright.

Feng Yan sighed regretfully.

Under You Ming's guidance, he said a lot of things.

"I have a friend who bought the game with me, and he hasn't contacted me for a long time." Feng Yan said, "I have his sister's phone number, I'll call and ask."

The call was connected quickly.

After answering the phone, Feng Yan's expression was terrified, his eyes widened and he said——

"He sawed off his own leg."

"Cook it and eat it."

"Bleeding too much to death."
