A023: Screenshot of conversation
"What's wrong?" Wu Xiaowu sat down on the stone bench next to him, took over the computer, and took out a bottle of Ice Red Bull from his bag and gave it to him.
Hou Yidun opened the drink, "Xiao Wu, look, these are screenshots of QQ chats and mobile phone text messages, and it has been almost ten years since now, and it seems that there was no WeChat at that time." I roughly divided it, three folders, the protagonists of the dialogue in them, one is called Tang Chengyong, the other is called Pang Lin, the former is the senior of the water room, and Pang Lin is his mentor. ”
Wu Xiaowu frowned and looked closely, there was nothing unusual on the screenshot, "It's just the conversation between the student and the teacher, there is no problem?
"Don't worry, look back patiently, I feel that the relationship between these two people is a bit strange, and according to the progression of their relationship, it is divided into three folders. And at that time, the men's dormitory building in our area was still the graduate dormitory on the old campus, and it seemed that Uncle Tang only moved two years before he came. Hou Yidun motioned to Wu Xiaowu to look at the last few screenshots in the first folder.
Starting from those screenshots, Pang Lin, as a mentor, proposed to Tang Chengyong that "the apprenticeship ceremony will be officially held on Saturday night, and in the future, we will also follow the model of ancient disciples in China and the undergraduate tutor system in Cambridge, England, and have 64 minutes of face-to-face communication every night".
Tang Chengyong's reply at that time was short and firm, and on the surface he appeared to be a respected and beloved mentor who put forward reasonable and appropriate advice, and was fully recognized and embraced by students. But the senior's face lingered in Wu Xiaowu's mind, and he knew that things were not so simple.
Then in the second folder, the dialogue in the screenshot is beyond the scope of teachers and students. There are also a few seemingly inconspicuous chat records of Tang Chengyong and his classmates and friends, but there is one thing in common in those records, these friends and classmates have begun to call Tang Chengyong "Manager Tang".
The rest of the content is that Pang Lin summoned Tang Chengyong in every detail, and called it "using actions to convey the truth of respecting teachers and testing the great responsibility of heaven with practice", which is also the starting point of Hou Yidun's feelings of ruining the three views.
For example, from the second folder, Pang Lin no longer called Tang Chengyong's name, but used a strange title such as "stinky boy", and Tang Chengyong's answer also changed from "in, I am" and the like in the past to "to!".
A large number of subsequent screenshots show that Pang Lin wants to eat takeaway from a certain place, and let Tang Chengyong deliver it to the designated place within half an hour; Pang Lin's dog needs to be bathed, the electric card needs to be recharged, the house needs to be cleaned, and even the car is cleaned and washed, and Pang Lin is picked up in the parking lot to the office, etc., Tang Chengyong has to unconditionally and quickly execute it, so as to reflect the "behavior accumulation and psychological construction" of those who can achieve great things.
What's even more shocking is that Pang Lin, as a male mentor, will also let Tang Chengyong evaluate his clothes, appear in time when he needs to socialize and play cards, and even when Pang Lin is depressed after drinking and complaining and cursing his ex-wife, he also needs Tang Chengyong to act as a listener and give comfort.
If the teacher-student relationship between them has changed from that "apprenticeship" to a relationship that is more like that of a slave owner and a slave, then the turning point in the second and third folders came from a new proposal from Mentor Pang Lin, who asked Tang Chengyong to carefully study one of the Marquis de Sade's books and try to memorize the full text.
From the absolute obedience at the beginning to Pang Lin's proposal, Tang Chengyong rarely asked the other party why he let himself bow to the book before the "sixty-four minutes" exchange almost every night.
Pang Lin seems to have benefited from this "spiritual Bible" that he admired, and he told Tang Chengyong that a qualified teacher should have the characteristics of a president, a bishop, a judge, and a duke at the same time, and the combination of these qualities is the most "perfect and ideal" Wulun relationship in ancient China, and he should be incarnated as a "father", and need a special language system to support.
After that, starting from the third folder, Pang Lin called Tang Chengyong a "beloved son", and Tang Chengyong began to call him a "father", no matter what Tang Chengyong communicated, it must start with "Dear father, how is the son", after a topic or instruction is over, Tang Chengyong also needs to praise and eulogize Pang Lin to a certain extent.
"This fucking Sun and Moon Divine Sect is not so excessive!" Wu Xiaowu thought of the strangulation marks on the senior's neck, and his sympathy for Tang Chengyong exceeded his fear of his spiritual appearance, and his heart was already clear, and he probably knew why the senior committed suicide.
Hou Yidun said with an indignant expression: "Look back, this Pang Lin is really not a thing, Xiao Wu, you have to find a way to go back, Pang Lin is still in our school, I don't know if the things of the year have been suppressed or what, we have to give this breath to the seniors! It's too bad, can this still be considered a human being? Treating students as slaves and babbling about a bunch of academic reasons, it's terrible." ”
Screenshot of the conversation after that, in the opinion of Wu Xiaowu and the others, except for a certain time when Pang Lin asked Tang Chengyong to "give up the personal relationship of his children who become a big thing", and asked Tang Chengyong to break up with his girlfriend in disguise, the rest is only "brainwashing", "blackmail" and "threats".
On the one hand, Pang Lin hinted that Tang Chengyong would have to lie that his father had died early if he was accidentally asked by classmates and outsiders, so he was full of admiration and fatherly dependence on Pang Lin, and asked Tang Chengyong to tattoo the initials of Pang Lin's name on his chest, and the "sixty-four minutes" communication every night has also changed from a conversation of work and catharsis to some kind of ritual, Tang Chengyong needs to cover the letter tattoo on his chest, use specific actions, kneel down to worship Pang Lin's clothes and shoes, and "say goodbye" to Pang Lin;
On the other hand, Tang Chengyong's many scholarships and teaching assistant subsidies were allocated to the institute or pocketed by Pang Lin, and Tang Chengyong was asked to write a written guarantee that in the name of his son, after graduation and work, he would also contribute money and effort to his respected father, and there was a signature and handprint at the end of the guarantee;
On the other hand, among all the screenshots of the conversation, the only thing that makes people feel heartwarming is that Tang Chengyong implicitly complained to a friend, but unfortunately did not explicitly point the finger at Pang Lin. From these outpouring and comforting conversations, it can be seen that Tang Chengyong has been planning his "graduation escape" from the beginning, but when graduation is approaching, Pang Lin wants Tang Chengyong to stay and continue to study for his doctorate, in other words, Tang Chengyong's free slave road has only completed the first stage.
