At the beginning of the movie, the two watched the movie. After the show, Yu Hao was about to propose to go back to school for self-study, but Zhou Sheng sat down in the coffee shop, ordered two drinks, sat opposite Yu Hao, and asked, "Do you have a VPN?"
Yu Hao said, "Buy one now."
Zhou Sheng: "Come on, you open it first, log in to my account, I have registered for Facebook before, but it's too troublesome to go over the wall and I can't use it anymore. Your English is good, search for Takin, Columbia University, and see if you can find him. Facebook or blog."
There are almost no secrets in the Internet age, and Long Sheng's name is relatively special. Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng began to search separately, starting with Chen Yekai, Takin, and Columbia University. Yu Hao said, "Are we not human? I always feel bad…”
The corners of Zhou Sheng's mouth twitched: "Then why don't we go to the movies? Let him die?"
Yu Hao: "Then it's still... well, let's do a search."
Zhou Sheng said: "I asked you to search, and you can blame me for it. Or I search it myself and search for a screenshot for you? Can you translate it for me?"
Yu Hao: "Of course we'll take it together. I just think... you can't find the information you want."
Zhou Sheng: "That's it, what are you talking about, let's look for it first?"
Yu Hao was just afraid of finding Chen Yekai's... He came after just thinking about it. From an international student's account, he found a picture of Chen Yekai's naked body... Fortunately, it was only the upper body.
Yu Hao put his hand on his forehead, Zhou Sheng said, "Let me see? Don't be nervous, this is a swimming pool. He was wearing swimming trunks and was photographed secretly."
Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng searched for a while, and there were quite a few photos of Chen Yekai being secretly taken, one of which was a photo of him with a few girls when he was at a party.
"Look at the comments." Zhou Sheng said, "Find it from the comments."
It was nearly four and a half years ago, and the release time happened to be Thanksgiving. Yu Hao searched through the few comments, but he didn't see Takin or anyone suspected of being Takin, but he found Chen Yekai's account.
"Look at Kaikai." Zhou Sheng said.
Chen Yekai's Facebook content is almost empty, leaving only one entry: "Thus have I had thee, as a dream doth flatter, In sleep a king, but waking no such matter."
Zhou Sheng: "What do you mean?"
"It's been a good spring dream that I have a deep love with you. In the dream, the throne is there. When I wake up, everything is empty." Yu Hao said.
Zhou Sheng: "It's quite poetic."
Yu Hao: "Shakespeare's original text."
Zhou Sheng: "I mean the translation is very good..."
Yu Hao: "It was translated by Teacher Gu Zhengkun."
Zhou Sheng: "Okay, shut up and keep looking."
Yu Hao: "..."
Yu Hao rummaged through Chen Yekai's friends. He didn't have many friends, but he had a lot of fans. None of them looked like Nakagawa Longsheng. Zhou Sheng added, "Check out my Twitter."
Yu Hao got off Twitter, logged into Zhou Sheng's account, and entered his Twitter from Chen Yekai's page link. The Twitter content was also deleted, and the clues were interrupted.
Zhou Sheng reluctantly said, "Search with Nikcy and Takin as keywords. What about the webpage snapshot function?"
Yu Hao searched everything he could, and Zhou Sheng said, "Look up Longsheng's katakana name. Add Takin and Nicky to the katakana name, try all combinations, wait, see if Kaikai has any other nicknames? Email prefixes. and the domain name?"
Yu Hao: "Yes!"
Yu Hao went back to Chen Yekai's Twitter and Facebook pages, found his domain name prefix, and followed it to a "Nick_0928" domain name, using this plus the katakana names of Takin and Longsheng to search.
Yu Hao found a photo on google.
It was he who had seen the photo of Long Sheng and Chen Yekai under the Iguazu Falls.
Zhou Sheng: "…"
Yu Hao: "..."
In the end, it was discovered by Zhou Sheng.
"Aren't you surprised?" Zhou Sheng's attention was always strange, "This dress was worn by Long Sheng!"
"I'm surprised!" Yu Hao said, "I'm so surprised."
"Google knows pictures." Zhou Sheng said again.
Yu Hao used google to recognize pictures, and now he finally figured it out. Nakagawa Longsheng's Facebook had no friends and existed alone in this noisy internet, like an isolated island with no air route to reach.
There are only two contents on the isolated island. One is the photo with Chen Yekai under the Iguazu Falls. The head is a sentence in Japanese, which Yu Hao pastes into the translator, meaning "start".
The other is encrypted content, the title is Chinese, it is called "End", and the picture is a curtain under the sun.
Yu Hao and Zhou Sheng sat silently opposite each other, and Zhou Sheng quietly looked at Long Sheng's Facebook.
"Do you want to go in and see?" Yu Hao asked.
Zhou Sheng put down his phone and said, "Forget it."
"I guessed it would be like this." Yu Hao said, "So from the beginning, I felt that you might not get the content of the news you want."
Zhou Sheng was very tired and looked at the sun outside the floor-to-ceiling window.
Yu Hao said: "He came to this world, and finally left, he felt that he had nothing to do with this world, and he didn't want to leave any traces before leaving. The only thing he wanted to say was to say goodbye to... his lover. The mood is very calm…”
"Don't talk about it." Zhou Sheng replied irritably, "I don't want to hear you recall something with empathy."
Yu Hao stopped talking. In fact, he had also had this thought. The world was so noisy and lively, but he was just an island. But in the end, Zhou Sheng opened a route and became a ship to this island, and his world gradually became full of life.
Zhou Sheng tore five or six packets of white sugar in a row, and poured them all into Yu Hao's coffee cup. He added a few more packets of sugar to himself, started stirring, and finally said, "Come on, cheers! I have deep feelings, and I'm bored!"
Yu Hao: "..."
Yu Hao couldn't help Zhou Sheng, clinking glasses with him, finishing the coffee, and saying, "It's too sweet, I can't stand it."
Yu Hao's throat was burning with pain, Zhou Sheng said, "Go back."
"What's next? What should I do?" Yu Hao asked.
Zhou Sheng spread his hands: "This is bad, the general is not chicken-"
Yu Hao looked at Zhou Sheng suspiciously, but the corner of Zhou Sheng's mouth rose slightly, Yu Hao keenly captured this moment of confidence...
"You must have thought of a way!" Yu Hao said, "Tell me now!"
Yu Hao looked at Zhou Sheng expectantly, and Zhou Sheng laughed.
"Aren't you very smart?" Zhou Sheng said, "I'll test you. The clue is this letter. Think about it, if you can figure it out, I'll make you a delicious meal later."
Yu Hao was immediately distracted: "What's delicious?"
Zhou Sheng glanced at his watch: "Give you ten minutes, go to the school cafeteria after five o'clock."
Yu Hao immediately said, "Don't! Let me think about it... Believe, believe..."
"Huh?" Zhou Sheng leaned against the back of the chair lazily.
"This letter." Yu Hao said, "Do you want to open it and have a look?"
"Don't look at it." Zhou Sheng said, "But you need a lot of cooperation later, so let you guess first."
Yu Hao racked his brains and said, "Trust? What should I do? I..."
Zhou Sheng: "Why are you so stupid? If I don't watch it, no one else can watch it?"
Yu Hao: "Let me see?"
Zhou Sheng: "Who else is there besides us? I've missed all the questions on this one. You can't guess that I'm really..."
Yu Hao: "Kakai! Let him see!"
Zhou Sheng: "Yeah, how do you let him open it by himself? Let's change the angle. Now everyone doesn't know what the letter says. In theory, who else knows?"
Yu Hao's mind was in chaos again, Zhou Sheng really lost his temper and just looked at Yu Hao like that. Yu Hao said, "But Teacher Chen said it himself, he doesn't want to open that letter, because he can't forgive himself... Of course the person who wrote the letter knows..."
Zhou Sheng put his hand on his forehead, and Yu Hao suddenly said, "Wait."
Yu Hao noticed something and said to Zhou Sheng, "So, I can also ask the 'Long Sheng' in his heart, what exactly was written in the letter?"
Zhou Sheng said: "Your IQ is finally online."
Following Zhou Sheng's guidance, Yu Hao began to reason and said, "I probably understand, you let me sort out..." After a full five minutes, Yu Hao said, "First of all, Teacher Chen doesn't know what is written in the letter. What, but in his consciousness, there must be this letter!"
Zhou Sheng: "Yes."
Yu Hao: "Also, in his impression, he must have 'imagined the content of this letter'."
"This is the key." Zhou Sheng said approvingly.
Yu Hao: "So when you come to Long Sheng, I have to ask Long Sheng! What is written in this letter!"
Zhou Sheng: "Full score, do you understand now? Also, let him hand over the letter, otherwise, if he doesn't understand, Kaikai can't die. He himself said that he will open it on the last day of his life. …”
Zhou Sheng was about to get up and leave, but Yu Hao held him back. Zhou Sheng said, "Let's go shopping first, there will be no good ingredients if it's too late."
Yu Hao followed behind Zhou Sheng, Zhou Sheng pushed the shopping cart, and the two chose what to eat in the mall.
The more Yu Hao thought about it, the more shocked he became. Zhou Sheng pointed to a slaughtered raw chicken on the shelf, and said, "Just a little correction, according to our previous actions, we have to beat the gatekeeper when we reach the totem. It's a joke, isn't it? As soon as I get in front of Longsheng, I'll mention that letter."
"It's your turn to appear next." Zhou Sheng said, "We have to ask Long Sheng to hand over his last letter."
Yu Hao said, "But that is the letter in Chen Yekai's imagination, not the letter that Long Sheng left him in reality."
Zhou Sheng: "Yes, what do you think the letter he imagined would look like?"
Yu Hao said, "I... I don't know, maybe it's because I went to Samsara first and waited for you or something."
Zhou Sheng: "Do you think it means to encourage him to 'live well'? Or do you say 'Don't waste your air by living, come and die with me!'."
Yu Hao pondered, Zhou Sheng said, "This is the key. In the real world, it doesn't matter what the suicide note looks like, but in Kaikai's world, the suicide note is imagined."
Yu Hao: "If Long Sheng's last wish is to keep him alive, then in his world of consciousness, Long Sheng is no longer a dark and crazy person to a certain extent."
Zhou Sheng: "Yes! So, Long Sheng's power will be weakened, and even part of it will be handed over to you."
Yu Hao: "And if Long Sheng's last wish was to let him die... then... then..."
Zhou Sheng interfaced: "Then the real Longsheng contradicts the Longsheng he imagined, and he will immediately realize that this is not the Longsheng he loved, at least not all. Kaikai's thoughts are shaken. , we have a chance to defeat Long Sheng, because the aura of his blessing on his 'imagined Long Sheng' has disappeared."
"I'm pretty sure the former will happen because I remember him saying 'I know he's forgiven me long ago, I'm just afraid I read that letter. I'll be in the days to come , forgive myself'. With Kaikai's understanding of Longsheng, he is very clear that Longsheng will forgive him in the letter and hope that he can live well. Let's go, buy a bottle of soy sauce, what are you doing? "
Yu Hao suddenly changed his mind again: "As soon as Fu Liqun leaves, let's cook and eat in the dormitory, okay?"
"Buy some Cantonese-style sausages, and the rest of the sauce just happens to be a claypot rice... You are stupid! What if he eats it with you?" Zhou Sheng said.
"You are truly a genius, Zhou Sheng." Yu Hao's thoughts turned back and he said with emotion, "How can you be so smart? How can you?"
Zhou Sheng said, "Can you sing praises to me in a different way? I'm tired of listening to it."
Yu Hao: "..."
That night Zhou Sheng washed the chicken in the bedroom, marinated it with soy sauce, green onion, ginger, star anise, fennel, rock sugar, put it in the induction cooker, added a little soy sauce and started to stew. Yu Hao washed the rice, and Zhou Sheng instructed: "When washing the rice, use a sieve to gently wash it clockwise. After washing, immediately start the sieve to wash off the bran powder on the surface of the rice grains. The rice water is transparent, and the rice that comes out will be shiny."
"After soaking for a while, let it dry until the rice grains turn white, and then soak in water. This is new rice. Soak it for about ten minutes. If you like it, you can add two drops of sesame oil. You should like the taste."
Zhou Sheng took it, opened the mineral water, added water, covered the rice cooker, waited for the rice to soak, and said, "Lock the door and close the window."
Yu Hao: "What's wrong?"
Fifteen minutes later, when Zhou Sheng turned on the induction cooker and turned the soy sauce chicken skillfully, Yu Hao knew why. Zhou Sheng cut Cantonese-style sausage with a bored face, and taught Yu Hao how to cut the sausage to taste delicious. Can't stop staring at the cute chicken in the glass lid of the induction cooker.
"Is the window closed?" Zhou Sheng finally said, "Don't be heard, or it will be gone."
Yu Hao checked again. Zhou Sheng lifted the lid and shredded the chicken with his bare hands. Even though he only used two lunch boxes, he still ripped it neatly. He poured the scallion oil on top of it, then turned on the rice cooker and mixed the claypot. meal.
"...The sausages have to be top-notch and delicious, you'd better go to Guangzhou to buy them... Damn it! Yu Hao! Where's the chicken? No?!" Zhou Sheng had just finished mixing half of the rice, and when he turned his head, half of the lunch box was already empty, and he was angry. Said, "You leave some for Lao Tzu!"
Yu Hao made a gesture to signal that I should stop talking and I want to eat chicken.
The two of them ate a chicken and a pot of rice cleanly. Yu Hao was very depressed. There was no rice cooker in the electric rice cooker. After eating everything, Zhou Sheng opened the window to disperse the smell.
"Are you cooking in the dormitory?" The door to the door began to knock, "What is it that is so delicious?"
"Who cooks?" Zhou Sheng shouted, "I'm sleeping! Don't make trouble!"
"That's right!" The people from the next bedroom also came, and they all said outside the door, "It's the smell from this bedroom! Is it braised pork?"
Zhou Sheng said, "The braised pork in your dreams!"
"Then why don't you open the door?!" There was a few more knocks from outside, roaring, "If you don't open it, you'll hit the door!"
Zhou Sheng stepped forward and opened the door. A group of people came in from the opposite and the next bedroom, smelling like a group of huskies, and finally saw the tableware and chopsticks in the sink, and said "Come on", and then left in annoyance.
Yu Hao: "I have to lie down for a while, you can give me a guess, I still want to eat tomorrow..."
"Go away!" Zhou Sheng said angrily, "What time is it in America?"
It was nine o'clock in the morning on Chen Yekai's side. Yu Hao was worried that he might not be able to sleep because of the jet lag. Zhou Sheng said, "I'll take a look in my dream."
Fu Liqun was not in the dormitory, so the two of them talked a lot more casually. Yu Hao asked, "If he fell into his dream, where would he be when he woke up?"
"It's still the same place." Zhou Sheng replied, "Be prepared to deal with it."
Yu Hao: "Zhou Sheng..."
Zhou Sheng: "??"
Yu Hao said bitterly, "I'm too full to sleep..."
Zhou Sheng: "…"
"Let you eat so much, then forget it, get up and sit for a while." Zhou Sheng said, "I'll try it first."
Yu Hao ate half the pot of rice and half the chicken, which was so strong that it stretched to his throat, but he didn't regret it at all, he was still thinking about it.
Zhou Sheng: "…"
Yu Hao: "?"
Zhou Sheng: "I can't sleep either... I knew I would quit that cup of coffee in the afternoon..."
