Wen Zheliu struggled to sit up from his knees on the ground and laughed angrily: "You fucking..."
The boy in front of him was stocky, white and fat, with a cross-cut flesh line on his face. He was wearing a red sweatshirt and khaki pants, with wet sweat stains on his collar and back. He glared at Wen Zheliu angrily, still holding the VR helmet he had just pulled off Wen Zheliu's head. At this time, the door downstairs rang, and the boy immediately laughed with schadenfreude: "Ha, my dad Mom is back, just wait to be beaten!"
After saying that, he put down the things in his hands and ran away from Wen Zheliu with a loud voice. His heavy body made the floor creak: "Dad! Mom! Wen Zheliu secretly played in my game room again today. He is a thief!"
Hearing that Zheliu had a splitting headache, he pushed himself up and walked downstairs, calling in a low voice: "Uncle, aunt."
The man standing underneath is also tall and fat, and the woman standing next to her has similar facial features to Wen Zheliu. The man's expression is a bit ugly, but he still advises: "Tianxiong, daddy didn't tell you After that, I bought it from the game warehouse for you and your cousin to play together. You don’t want to dominate all day long... "
When Liu Tianxiong heard this, he immediately yelled like a fool: "Whatever we play with together is mine, mine! He eats my stuff, uses my stuff, and now he wants to rob my game warehouse. I'm so annoyed with him. Beat him, beat him quickly!"
As he yelled, he pulled out a metal vase that was about half a person's height beside the entrance and used it as an ornamental tree branch. He reluctantly put it into the man's hand: "Break his legs!"
Liu Jianzhang smiled awkwardly. Wen Zheliu's eyes had completely dimmed and he was staring at the metal branch in Liu Tianxiong's hand.
He is not the child of Liu Jianzhang and Wen Qian.
When Wen Zheliu was eight years old, his parents died in a car accident, and his uncle and aunt, Liu Jianzhang and Wen Qian, adopted him. At that time, Liu Jianzhang was only in middle age when he and Wen Qian gave birth to their first son, Liu Tianxiong. Naturally, he doted on him and developed a pampered and overbearing temper. He was unhappy with everything he saw and heard. Although Wen Qian and Wen Zheliu's father were biological siblings, due to their weak biological relationship, this woman could calmly pocket all the money and real estate that Wen's father and Wen's mother had left to Wen Zheliu, and happily lived in Xincheng District. He moved to a three-story villa and used his brother's son as a free labor force. At home, Liu Tianxiong was allowed to bully the young Wen Zheliu wantonly.
Wen Zheliu endured it again and again, and finally one day she couldn't bear it anymore. She picked up the glass shelf on the table that was used to press paper, and gave Liu Tianxiong a hard slap, cracking the corner of his eye. After the couple came back from the hospital with pale faces, Liu Jianzhang used a decorative metal branch as thick as a finger in the vase in the entrance hall, grabbed Wen Zheliu by the neck, and beat him from the living room to the kitchen, beating him until he was beaten. He was covered in bloodstains, developed a high fever that night, and was sent to the hospital.
Due to his serious injuries, the Vulnerable Groups Protection Agency immediately intervened in the investigation. They suspected that this was intentional domestic violence and wanted to file criminal charges against the Lius and his wife. Liu Jianzhang and Wen Qian were afraid that the matter would be exposed. Not only did they want to spit out their father's and mother's things, They still had to face jail time, so they took the ward with no one and led their son to kneel in front of Wen Zheliu's hospital bed, crying and wiping away his tears. They worked hard and soft for a long time. Wen Zheliu was only a ten-year-old child at that time after all. , unable to withstand this attitude, agreed to reconcile.
From then on, Liu Jianzhang and Wen Qian restrained themselves a lot and did not dare to do anything to Wen Zheliu openly. In addition to having cold meals and cold dishes for every meal, they let him sleep in the house that was paid for by Wen's father and Wen's mother. Apart from the attic where he had lived for nearly ten years and the harassment caused by Liu Tianxiong every day and three days, there was nothing else.
When Wen Zheliu was fifteen and Liu Tianxiong was fourteen, Liu Tianxiong was short of money. Instead of asking his parents for money, he ran into Wen Zheliu's room and rummaged around unscrupulously. As a result, he found more than ten money that he had hidden under the pillow. A cheap electronic pictorial that was illegally reproduced shows several different semi-naked male stars, showing off their strong male bodies to the camera without any concealment, showing handsome or evil smiles from different angles -
Wen Zheliu was forced to come out as gay. In this free era where people with full capacity for civil conduct can marry robots according to law, he was forced to endure the disdainful looks of Liu and his wife for a long time, and he and Liu Tianxiong exchanged open and closed "sodomy|rape" speeches. Malicious names such as "criminal" and "dead pervert".
Wen Zheliu's fragile yet strong self-esteem as a teenager and the humiliation of being dependent on others almost broke him down. Every night, he would hide in bed and cry angrily and secretly. When Liu Tianxiong clamored for a new holographic warehouse, he He had to take the initiative to stand up for the first time and expressed to the Liu couple that he was willing to spend his parents' inheritance to "give his cousin a game console", in order to imply his humble flattery and retreat. After the Lius pretended to be happy, Liu Tianxiong finally stopped saying bad things to him, because on the surface they said they "bought one for Zhe Liu and Tianxiong to use", but who was the real user? The Liu family knows this very well.
This was used until Wen Zheliu was seventeen years old and about to become an adult.
Wen Qian saw that Wen Zheliu's face was not good-looking, so she hurriedly smoothed things over with a smile, snatched the metal branch from Liu Tianxiong's hand, and inserted it into the vase again, "Hey, this kid just likes to joke... Tianxiong, you can't be so stingy. What’s the matter with giving the game warehouse to my cousin, haven’t you played enough?”
Wen Zheliu looked gloomy, took a deep breath, and said, "He just forced me offline for the third time. Does he want me to become dementia?"
The Liu couple were stunned, and Liu Tianxiong shouted: "You are a fucking thief! Your mother didn't care about you when you were born, but my family raised you, and you dare to touch my things! White-eyed wolf!"
Wen Zheliu's eyes were bloodshot and he was shaking with anger. Seeing that he was about to have an attack, Liu Jianzhang hurriedly pushed his son into a nearby room and planned to talk behind closed doors. Liu Tianxiong was still struggling unyieldingly, and when he heard Zheliu, he roared madly: "Your family is raising me?! Your family is sucking my blood! If you want to say that your family is raising me, you ask your parents to first give all my parents' money." Spit it out and let's settle it one by one! I'm going to be an adult soon, and I won't be the ignorant idiot I used to be! Just wait, I won't owe you any favors, but I won't owe you any money from my parents either. For you guys!!"
He yelled this while holding back tears, then turned around and ran upstairs. Wen Qian raised her voice and shouted "break willows, break willows" from behind. He ignored her and just ran into the attic, slammed the door hard, and was shocked. The beams of the house were rustling and dusty.
His head was still aching, as if something was about to come out of it. Wen Zheliu sat on the ground and scratched his neck until he was almost out of breath, and then a short cry burst out from his throat. Coughing sound.
His whole body was shaking, his chest was rising and falling violently, and he was clenching his teeth tightly. He used almost all his strength to finally push back the tears that were about to fall in his eyes.
There was a stinging pain in the palm of my hand.
Wen Zheliu forced himself to turn around and look over, only to see that he seemed to be holding something in his hand from just now. He was too angry before and just held it tightly. He was so excited that he hurriedly let go of his hand and took advantage of the outside. Look carefully in the dim light.
It was a square silver medal hanging from a black leather string, with many neat and small words carefully carved on it.
It's... it's chin's dog tag!
With the rapid development of science and technology, the transfer of materials from the virtual world to the real world is by no means impossible. Dogtag completed the interaction between the two worlds ten years ago and became the first person to be able to communicate on the Internet. Items that can travel freely between reality.
Looking at chin's dog tag, he seemed to be a drowning man grasping the last straw - the gun battle and artillery fire that happened today, the tacit understanding of the two people's perfect cooperation, the final victory, and chin's smiling eyes. … He finally saw a hope that could pull him out of the suffocating life. He jumped up in a hurry, turned on the only small lamp in the attic, and carefully observed the sign under the light.
"chin... Name registered for the Star Network License... He Qin..."
Chin's original name is He Qin
He turned the name over and over and chewed it between his lips and teeth several times. When he looked at it again, he suddenly realized that this dog tag... seemed different from his own and White's.
Wen Zheliu took out his dog tag from his neck and compared it with Chin... He Qin's. His dog tag contained nothing but basic information and an iris fingerprint verification code. However, He Qin's name was printed with a very exquisite embossed pattern, consisting of stretched iris and hydrangeas, wrapped around the edge of the dog tag. In one circle, even the back has squiggles written by laser shooters. It doesn’t look like an identity plate, but more like some kind of work of art.
"He Qin... He Qin..." As he read the name, he felt like he had heard it somewhere. At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind, and he remembered what He Qin said that he didn't want to be recognized, which meant that he should be a member of the public. A figure. Since he is a public figure, he can always be found on StarNet, right
He suddenly became excited, sniffed, wiped his red eyes, opened his personal terminal, entered the word "He Qin" in the search bar suspended in the air, and waited anxiously for the web page to refresh.
The search results were so dense that Wen Zheliu was dazzled. He thought for a moment and clicked on the website in the first column of keywords. The first thing that was displayed was the phrase he was very familiar with: "City of Novas, dreams and future, it's up to you." "Shaping", is this the official website of n-star company
He was stunned, and then tentatively clicked on He Qin's entry above.
—unauthorized access, no access.
Wen Zheliu felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured on him. He bit his lip and kept wandering between the web page and the dog tag, looking for a way to get in. At this time, he suddenly saw the login button diagonally above and thought about it for a long time. , but he boldly clicked, and a blue light shot out from the light screen, scanning a 3D bust of Saint Sister Ceresa with vivid features in front of him.
"Hello, please scan your fingerprints."
it works!
He was overjoyed and hurriedly scanned the fingerprint verification code on the Heqin dog tag. The Holy Sister smiled for a moment and said in an ethereal voice: "Hello, in view of your special status, please scan again within fifteen seconds. One iris for verification.”
"Countdown to 15, 14, 13..."
Wen Zheliu rubbed his fingers nervously and hurriedly scanned the iris verification code on the dog tag again.
"Welcome back, Mr. He Qin."
The holy nun blocking the road disappeared. He laughed happily and quickly clicked on He Qin's entry again.
The first thing that came out was a high-definition photo.
He was stunned for a moment.
The man in the photo is tall and wearing expensive and straight formal clothes. He seems to be attending some important press conference. His thick black eyebrows slanted into his temples, a pair of peach-blossom eyes that were both romantic and mean-spirited, his nose bridge was high, his thin lips were dark red, and he was sexy with a bit of cynical suaveness... Hearing that Liu Zheliu felt as if he had been struck by lightning, he looked at the photos in a daze. people.
Not long ago, the owner of these eyes smiled crookedly at him, as if holding a pool of passionate spring water in his mouth, but now...
A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org
He looked at the small text below the photo, and for the first time he felt that the translucent webpage with eye protection mode turned on was so glaring.
"N-star Group... Co., Ltd...." He muttered, stumbling over his words, "Regional Executive Officer of the Asia-Pacific Region... He Qin."
His cold fingertips gently slid upwards, and he read word by word the formulaic report below, "... Unique, for the world, Xinxing Company has created huge spiritual wealth that is enough to rewrite history... Changing the times, leading the future... And The youngest ever regional executive..."
He held his breath and looked at the words on the light screen, "...can he inherit the mantle and direction of his elders..."
elder.
He suddenly remembered where he had heard He Qin's name.
When Wen Zheliu passed by the city council area of Nova City more than once, the male and female players gathered there talked about him with excitement and admiration; in the fast food restaurant where he worked on weekends, people mentioned Nova City and also It is inevitable to talk about its leader, its team, and its most famous game worlds... They said that He Qin is the youngest regional executive in history, the third successor of n-star company, and the second largest shareholding Yu, the current CEO, and his great-uncle…
He opened his mouth blankly, unable to say a word.
