Chapter 6: The Mountains Are Empty (4)
My surprise seemed to be something she expected: "You're right, I'm the snake spirit." β
I shook my head: "The past is all in the past, although I am curious about your past, it will definitely not affect my judgment of the Xie Liuying I know." You're a very nice girl, that's one thing I absolutely believe in. β
It's strange that in such a situation, I actually inadvertently sent her a "good person card".
Xie Liuying sighed: "It was after I was promoted to the second year of junior high school, my grandmother died, and I was very lonely. As a result, at this time, a girl happened to approach me and became my 'best friend'. She didn't study very well, and in today's parlance, she's the kind of girl who drinks, perms, and gets tattoos. But at that time, I needed friends so much that I didn't care about that, as long as she was good to me. β
Me: "But...... With your appearance, there should be a lot of boys who are willing to be nice to you. β
Xie Liuying smiled: "It is said that men know men best, and I figured out things when I was ten years old, why are you still so naΓ―ve now." β
Yes, she couldn't have realized that she was good-looking on the first day, and most of the little boys in their environment had to be on guard.
Me: "But I don't rule out that there are people who are really good to you." β
Xie Liuying: "Yes, there must be, but I can't tell the difference, so at that time I thought it was safer for girls." Unexpectedly, my so-called 'best friend' is the biggest pit, and she approached me from the beginning with other plans. β
Me: "What do you say?" β
Xie Liuying: "One day, she invited me to her house to play, and I didn't think much about it, so I went. I later learned that she had a mixed boyfriend, and both of them were addicts. She took me to her house and showed me the props of her drug use. Of course I was shocked and immediately wanted to leave, but her boyfriend suddenly appeared. I tried to run, but he knocked me to the ground, and the two of them injected a tube through my arm. β
I said coldly, "Are those two dead now?" β
Xie Liuying: "Later, I went to prison, which can be regarded as unpleasant retribution, but unfortunately justice is always late." β
Me: "Their purpose in doing this is very simple, that is, to see that your house has been demolished, to know that you have money, and they want you to become addicted to drugs, and when you become a 'drug friend', you can pay them to smoke together." β
Xie Liuying: "That's the case, so after they finished this, they sent me home, and even 'generously' left me a few." She lowered her head, as if recalling the most unbearable picture in her life, "Chen Liao, have you ever experienced how you feel when you want to play a game, but your parents won't let you play?" β
Me: "I've experienced ......"
Xie Liuying: "When I am addicted to drugs, it is ten times more painful than that. You know it's not a good thing, but you can't help but put your hand on the needles, and I wanted to throw them all away, but I didn't make it and I broke down. You say I have low self-esteem, then I tell you, that's why I have low self-esteem. β
I didn't speak, I felt like I was hurting her again for my boring curiosity, I didn't think it would be like this.
Xie Liuying: "Those days were the darkest days of my life, I finished all the tubes of medicine they left behind, and I was so confused that I was completely invisible, I couldn't help it, and I had to go to them again and again to ask for medicine." β
I hated myself for not being by her side at the time.
Xie Liuying: "On the way there, I encountered something that changed my life. On the way, I met a big brother in his twenties, and he saw my situation and asked my name directly. I didn't bother to pay attention to him at the time, but I still told my name truthfully. He introduced himself and said that his father was my grandfather's comrade-in-arms, and he couldn't leave me alone like this. β
Me: "That's weird, you shouldn't have been around for a few days, how did he know about it?" β
Xie Liuying: "He said that he saw that I hadn't been to school for a few days, so he was worried about coming over to have a look." β
Me: "So, this person has been silently watching you?" β
Xie Liuying: "Maybe so, but I haven't seen him since that day, so it doesn't seem right to say that." β
Me: "And then. β
Xie Liuying: "Then he took me to the Internet cafΓ©." β
Me: "Huh? β
Xie Liuying: "At that time, the control of minors on the Internet was not as strict as it is now, so I could also go in. According to my normal life, it is absolutely impossible for me to follow a strange man casually, but in that mental state, I don't know why I followed him. β
What does a man in his twenties want to do with a little girl in his twenties to an Internet cafΓ©? I can't figure it out.
Xie Liuying: "That was the first time I played "Book Title", and the big brother told me that if I felt lonely or uncomfortable in the future, I could play this game. Since I was a child, I have not been exposed to any means of entertainment except studying. The first time I played the game, I was hooked. And later in the game, I also made a lot of friends, and I don't stick to reality anymore. After all, no one can see my face, and no one knows about my family situation, so it's easier and more realistic. β
Me: "After a long time, you replaced your drug addiction with a game addiction, but what about your big brother?" β
Xie Liuying: "Looking back now, his skills are almost professional, and I called the police again with his encouragement. But after that night, I never saw him again, and it was as if he had evaporated from the world. So, back to that question, why am I being so nice to you? Because I don't know why, I saw your live broadcast that day, and although you didn't turn on the camera on the first day, you gave me the feeling that I was very similar to that big brother......"
Me: "I've been messing around for a long time, I'm someone's substitute." "Hearing this, it is impossible not to be sour.
Xie Liuying joked: "So I want to ask you, do you have any distant cousins or anything like that." β
"Nope." I'm sure to say.
Xie Liuying: "You don't need to eat irrelevant flying vinegar, judging from his age, he should be over thirty now, maybe he will be married a long time ago." β
It seems that this is how she got into the game......
Xie Liuying: "By the time I was admitted to high school, the nearby environment was finally normal, and I was able to make friends normally, but the habit of playing games has been retained until now." Speaking of which, this game has inadvertently changed the trajectory of my life. It's hard to imagine what I would be like now if I had actually gone to my 'girlfriend' house that day and continued to indulge in drugs. β
