Can’t Save the World by Pretending to be Dead
Chapter 6:
When other anchors go live on weekends, their popularity changes a bit.
On the weekend, it was a holiday, and the fans had time to watch the live broadcast.
But Lian Xi was different.
In his live room, there are only three or four fans hanging around all year round.
Three or four fans become four or five fans, is this called there is a change?
When he opened Dou Ya Live and saw those big anchors with millions or tens of millions of popularity, Lian Xi enviously looked at them for a few more times, but when he thought that they had to chat with their fans for seven or eight hours straight at night, his hatred of the rich got a lot better again.
Our mute live room is also quite good!
[Anchor is two minutes late today, didn’t live broadcast on time ah].
Lian Xi: “Eat dinner a bit late.”
After three minutes, he thought about it and added: “Today I’m playing Zhu Geliang, the national service single.”
The live broadcast room was quiet, no one replied to him.
Lian Xi didn’t care, he silently ranked and played mono.
After waiting for an hour, a few familiar-looking fans came. They commented on Lian Xi’s game level, brushed a few waves of “666”, and then began to take his live room as a chat room and chatted.
[The big anchor Hydrogen in the next host game area is really unlucky!
[Then what’s wrong brother?]
[Brother you are still planting potatoes on Mars?]
[No ah, I watched last week, that hydrogen is a king of womanizer, it’s considered fine f*cking fans, he even f*cked the list of rich middle aged women, he also two-timing (in romantic relationships). The rich woman sent out her chat logs. Didn’t you see it? How unlucky, isn’t everyone shouting to beat him?]
[What’s with the rich woman? You’re growing bananas on Mars! It’s been reversed! Two days ago, the hot search said, what rich woman? She is a poor loser woman. She gave all her tuition fees to the anchor, and secretly took her family’s bankbook to give the anchor gifts, pretending to be a rich woman!]
Seeing the dialogue between these two, Lian Xi froze.
Hydrogen?
One hundred and thirty thousand hydrogen a month?
Pretending to be a rich woman?
Ah! It was the melon (gossip or news) that I forgot to eat last week!
This time Lian Xi came to the spirit, quietly peeping at the screen while pretending not to care and continued to play the game, and also took four kills in the process.
[Anchor 666666]
[Old Hydrogen is the unlucky man, he thought dating a rich woman, the result is a fake! This woman is also particularly horrible. You go to see the burst out of the hydrogen’s chat records, this woman PUA (emotionally manipulating) him.
[The term “PUA,” originally short for “pick-up artist,” dates at least back to the last decade to refer to emotionally manipulative romantic relationships, but was given new life in this decade to refer to emotional abuse at work.]
Attempt suicide everyday, not letting hydrogen to do this, even not allowing him to move. Even when he thanked the female fans for sending gifts, she had to make a scene. Hydrogen and her breakup she threatened to commit suicide, but also sent a self-injury photos, the old horror.
The other fan didn’t reply to this fan for a long time.
After ten minutes, he finally came back.
[Really dead!!!]
[What?]
[Brothers, go look at the hot search! This woman is really dead!
Lian Xi: “？？？！！！”
Because of the tremor, the already small number of fans in the live broadcast room ran out.
They could go eat melons, but Lian Xi had to continue to live broadcast.
When he waited for a gap between games to finish, he opened the Weibo hot search and quickly saw the ninth of the hot search.
#Hydrogen Cat Hair Sauce#
Clicking in to take a look, the second most popular weibo, was Cat Hair Sauce’s base.
[Jojo of Azkaban: Now you guys are satisfied! She’s gone, she’s really gone! She just likes someone and they’re in a relationship, so is it wrong that she’s upset and sad that he’s flirting with another woman? Cat Hair is gone. Every one of you is a murderer! Be kind, you guys. Be virtuous! [Picture]]
The picture is a WeChat screenshot of a netizen asking Cat Hair Sauce why she didn’t show up for two days and if she’s still upset about the scum man.
After a few hours, Cat Hair Sauce replied.
[I’m her uncle, she’s gone, slit her wrists last Saturday].
Under that weibo, there were soon 3,000 netizen replies.
[666, this kind of picture I can take P80 a minute.]
[Wow, that guy is an anchor, thanking fans for sending gifts;this matter can make a mess in the house, smashing and kicking. Female fist’swarning!
[Thanking a female fan for a gift is called flirting? Moral Standard bearers are afraid, are afraid.]
This is a post that was sent out by Cat Hair Sauce’s kiddo last night.
Because she was angrily sprayed by netizens, she bought a plane ticket overnight to fly to Cat Hair Sauce’s hometown, and ended up in the hospital with a death certificate.
Lian Xi clicked on another game of ranked, and the match was long. He lowered his eyes and looked at the latest tweet sent by this netizen three hours ago.
[Azkaban’s JoJo: This will prove that Cat Hair Sauce is really gone, right? [Image]]
The comments on this tweet went straight past 100,000.
Upon refreshing, it’s adding nearly a thousand comments per minute.
Clicking on the popular comments, part of them are lamenting the loss of a young girl, part of them are helping her condemn the scum man. There is also a part of the rational Chinese guests making the objective analysis.
[First of all, I’m sorry to see Cat Hair Sauce go, alas, it’s really not worth it.]
Watch the anchor said cat hair sauce before suicide said something to her parents, fed up with these people in the Internet scold her. I went to see the cat hair sauce’s personal weibo, until today there are a lot of people scolding her.
But secondly, it must also be said that she died not only because of online violence, but also because of scummy men, because she was too ‘romantic brain’!
Is this man worth it?
Your mum and dad worked so hard to raise you, feed you and put you through school, and you’re just going to seek death for a man and kill yourself for a bunch of internet users you don’t know. Have you thought about your parents?
Not to mention the fact that this man doesn’t love you!
This long comment took a few paragraphs to post before it was sent out, and it was quickly topped as the number one popular comment.
Lian Xi gulped down the melon.
The matter is like this.
The anchor hydrogen lists four rich women called “cat hair sauce”, the two began half a year ago online love, and later met in real life after forming a relationship online. But since cohabitation, the cat hair sauce brush gift became less, but also began to control hydrogen. Not allowed to do this, not allowed to do that, if he and female fans have a little bit of interaction, cat hair sauce is going to explode.
Hydrogen couldn’t stand the trouble, and proposed to break up. But whenever he mentioned the breakup, cat hair sauce will make trouble, and even threatened to commit suicide.
Later, hydrogen cheated, cat hair sauce angrily hanging the scum and the third person. Just when the whole network was cursing hydrogen, hydrogen sent out those screenshots with Cat Hair Sauce, and many netizens stood on hydrogen’s side.
In the end, those who sprayed Cat Hair Sauce were in the majority –
Hydrogen had already mentioned breaking up more than once, it was you who used suicide as a threat!
Cheating is wrong, but it is not incomprehensible, because you do not give people a breakup ah!
After enduring week-long cyber violence, Cat Hair Sauce literally killed herself.
After getting off the air, Lian Xi thought about it again when he brushed his teeth. He didn’t continue to eat melon again, just suddenly thought …
It turns out that even death has to be proved now ah.
***
Cat Hair Sauce committed suicide, even if her parents told people that it was because of internet violence.
Hydrogen’s live stream was also greatly affected.
Hydrogen directly hangs out a leave of absence: [Go to send her last journey, stop broadcasting for a week.]
After this incident, Hydrogen’s roadrunner popularity rating was much worse, but his number of fans skyrocketed by one million. His Ranking One Big Brother even angrily dropped 200,000 and let out the words: [Go young man, be a man!]
A big anchor with a monthly income of 130,000 was too far away from Lian Xi.
There are too many things happening every day.
In a couple of days there was a bus crash, and again the eyes of the netizens were attracted to the past, hydrogen and cat hair sauce’s melon instantly turning sour.
Into September.
Real estate agent Xiao Liu called again.
Looking at the name flashing on the mobile phone screen, Lian Xi’s face changed.
Three hundred, no need for this…
He answered the call stiffly.
Xiao Liu smiled and said, “Good morning Mr Lian, you got up really early.”
“…”
Lian Xi: “Three hundred money really don’t need to be returned.”
“…”
“Ahem, it’s not that. It’s that, Mr Lian, you remember I told you that this house of yours is a four-bedroom house, more than 160 square feet. Before the accident happened, the location was very good, the rent was very high, a lot of people want to rent it.”
“…”
Lian Xi: “I think you said that.” Though he forgot.
“It’s good that you still remember. Actually, the landlord rented you the master bedroom, and common parts like the kitchen and living room. But there are still three rooms that are empty. You didn’t use them, did you?”
Lian Xi: “The landlord locked them.”
Xiao Liu: “Oh oh oh. It’s like this, originally I thought this house won’t be rented by anyone anymore, but who knows there is actually another person who wants to rent it.”
Lian Xi: “???”
“Don’t worry, this person is very reliable. He is a postgraduate student of the University of Suzhou City, just got in this year and just reported to Suzhou City. He is as bold as you are, and is not afraid of a murderous house, so he rented it. You don’t mind renting with someone, do you?”
“…”
“Don’t mind.”
“That’s good!” Xiao Liu sighed in relief, “I’ve already discussed with the landlord, your rent will be reduced by another four hundred per month, and from now on, twelve thousand per month will be enough.”
“…”
“You see, when it’s convenient for you, I’ll bring someone to visit the house. He has to see it before he can sign the contract.”
“All right.”
“Then we’ll come up now.”
Lian Xi: “???”
A minute later, the doorbell rang.
Lian Xi opened the door.
The female agent in a small suit with short hair thanked her repeatedly, “Thank you Mr Lian, it’s great that you’re home, it’s a big help.”
Lian Xi nodded at her, then looked up behind her.
In the dimly lit hallway, there stood a ‘single-edged eyelid’ young boy wearing a hip-hop style t-shirt and a skull necklace around his neck. At this moment, he was also curiously looking Lian Xi up and down.
The new tenant is good looking and should be able to be the most handsome guy in the class when he’s in secondary school. He was just not very tall.
Lian Xi took a closer look.
At most 168.
“Let me introduce you guys. Mr Lian, this is Su Jiao, just got into the graduate school of Su City University, a high achiever, speaking of which, he is still an alumnus with you. Mr Su, this is Mr Lian, he moved in last month.”
The hip-hop man stretched out his hand, “Hello, I’m Su Jiao, the Jiao of one the gods favour—unusually lucky; very fortunate.”
Lian Xi shook back, “… Lian Xi.”
Xiao Liu: “Then Mr Su, let’s take a look at the house first?”
“Okay ah!”
After saying that, Su Jiao dragged his suitcase and came in.
Lian Xi: “….”
He came prepared ah!
Xiao Liu took Su Jiao to the kitchen, living room, and opened the door with the key to show him the second bedroom that belonged to him. Su Jiao was very satisfied and signed the contract immediately.
Xiao Liu: “Then I’ll leave first, thank you. Mr Su, Mr Lian, if you need anything, feel free to call me.”
Su Jiao waved his hand: “Take care.”
Lian Xi: “Take care.”
With a click, the door closed.
In the empty room, everything instantly returned to quiet.
“….”
“.…”
Lian Xi was so embarrassed that his scalp went numb and he had absolutely no idea what to say. He quickly stifled out a sentence of “You take your time to pack your bags” and hurried back to the room, closing the door behind him.
Leaning against the door panel, Lian Xi’s tense brain then relaxed.
Luckily.
Luckily, he felt that he had become rich overnight and had the money to be extravagant, so he was ruthless and rented the master bedroom with it’s own bathroom.
Otherwise …
This day can’t be passed!
***
Days, of course, still have to continue to live.
The only thing that Lian Xi is grateful for is that the new tenant is a miserable graduate student, just reported to the university. As soon as he entered the door, he was ordered by his tutor, his senior brother and senior sister in a row to do something, the two of them met very little. Sometimes Lian Xi goes to the kitchen in the morning to make soy bean milk, and occasionally he can bump into Su Jiao when he goes to class.
“Got up quite early ah.”
“…… You’re also quite early.”
“I’m going to class.”
“Oh that’s right.”
The air was awkward.
Returning to his room, Lian Xi buried his head to play the national service list.
Even if he didn’t start a live stream, he still had to play the game, it was his job.
Just like this, the whole day passed.
The sky was getting dark, and at six in the evening, Lian Xi ordered a takeaway, preparing to eat and then go to do live streaming.
He started another game again.
After finishing the game, Lian Xi stretched and got up to walk towards the kitchen to pour himself a glass of water. He was only halfway there when suddenly, the door rang.
“Knock knock knock–”
Lian Xi paused in his steps.
He looked towards the dark door.
“Knock knock knock——”
The sound of knocking on the door was rich in regularity, muffled and methodically, a single knock.
Not too fast, not too slow, and each sound was like a pinch.
No doorbell was rung.
“Knock knock knock—”
Lian Xi walked over, looked through the peephole, and then,
“….”
As long as I pretend dead you can’t see me, as long as I pretend dead you can’t see me!
However, this time, the tactic of playing dead seemed to have failed.
Xu Lang outside the door had super patience.
He knocked one by one, and didn’t say anything, nor did he walk around.
He had a cold, white, expressionless face
Raising his hand.
Knocking on the door.
Raise his hand.
Knock on the door.
……
Knocked for the entire half hour.
Lian Xi couldn’t bear it and pulled the door open with a brush, “I’m not signing! You go away, I’ll call the police if you keep this up…”
The voice ended abruptly.
Lian Xi’s eyes widened, his mouth slightly open, his gaze stopped on the bloody hole in the man’s head.
He had only glanced at it in the peephole just now, the light was too dim to see it clearly.
Now, he saw it clearly.
Xu Lang’s stiff hand was still hanging in mid-air, as if he didn’t understand why the door had suddenly opened. Only after a long time did he turn his neck and look at Lian Xi.
Crunch crunch crunch.
His neck bones made a depressed sound.
“I am the Jewel Guild
of Ultra Tuber, Liu Lang.”
The pure black pupils spread a little, invading the whites of his eyes.
He looked at Lian Xi woodenly with those pure black eyes.
Then he opened his mouth, and the corner of his mouth hooked up into a bizarre sardonic smile..
“Is it about …sign a contract?”
Author has something to say:
CC: My tactic of playing dead actually failed!!!!
Su Jiao {Crispy (short) Dumpling}: what do you mean by 168???? I’m 170 !!! Round up to 170, okay ?!!!
