Chapter 20: Committing Prohibition by Force (I)
Xinxing Road, named after 'Xinxing Cinema', is the earliest entertainment center in Jingnan County.
Twenty or thirty years ago, when the first cinema in the county was built, after it was built on this street, with the passage of time, restaurants, snack shops, arcade halls... Naturally, it appeared on the road to the new star.
Especially in recent years, because of the popularity gathering, at night, there are all kinds of ghost vendors, and the partner food stalls will be centered on the cinema, spreading out left and right, occupying the entire road, which is very lively and prosperous.
After a 10-minute ride at night, Zhang Chujiu arrived at Xinxing Road and followed the crowded flow of people in the night market to a game hall called 'Dahua'.
After locking his bicycle, he queued up to buy four meatloaf with eggs in front of a roadside stall specializing in fried meatloaf and spicy skewers, and walked into the game hall.
As soon as you enter the door, next to the counter selling 'game currency', drinks and snacks, a middle-aged man with a flat head is sitting inside, holding a fine cigar and playing mobile games.
A few steps further, more than 30 large arcade machines are scattered in the middle of the hall.
These machines have a uniform specification, all of which are 4 meters high, 3 meters long and 3 meters wide, and are equipped with two LCD screens on all sides, one high and one low, the lower screen is used by players when playing, and the higher screen is playing the game process in mid-air in real time, attracting popularity.
The tense, exciting, somewhat bloody and violent pictures are mixed with the passionate game soundtrack and dubbing, which makes people excited.
In addition, there are rows of poker, mahjong, dice and other gambling machines equipped with seats against the wall of the game hall;
Claw machines and sports simulation machines such as shooting, baseball, and fishing are designed for players who are not very excited.
Zhang Chujiu is a regular customer of 'Dahua', took out 30 yuan to buy 30 game coins in a plastic bowl, and walked directly through the cracks of people towards his favorite fighting game 'Iron Cage Fight 9'.
When he came to the machine, he saw that the machine was being played, so he stood and waited, looked up at the live broadcast of the game, and saw that the player's skill was pitiful, and the manipulated character was almost tortured and killed, so he couldn't help but pout, and whispered: "This technique has to be practiced tightly." ”
Just as he was muttering disdainfully, someone suddenly patted Zhang Chujiu's shoulder behind his back, and then a familiar voice sounded, "Jiu, aren't you desperately trying to practice martial arts, why are you willing to waste time coming to the game hall?"
Zhang Chujiu heard that the person who spoke was Zhang Tengfei, and he was overjoyed, 'Haha...' smiled and turned to look at his dead friend and said: "In addition to being motivated, I don't think I can pull down too many ordinary people like you."
So deliberately decadent and have fun. ”
"I see that you took a cold shower and irritated your head before, so you suddenly went crazy and signed up for martial arts gym boxing.
I worked so hard and wasted all my good summer vacation, and now that my blood vessels are open, I just woke up. Zhang Tengfei said teasingly.
Zhang Chujiu smiled and didn't make a sound, pointed to the live broadcast of the game above his head, changed the topic and whispered: "Don't you go up and abuse two dishes."
It's hard to meet an opponent that you can win safely. ”
Zhang Tengfei sighed, pointed to the young man who was engrossed in playing the game not far away, because the battle situation was unfavorable, pouted his buttocks, and slammed the button excitedly: "The 'dish' you said is my cousin, one level shorter than us, the first year of junior high school, the first place in the Yunning City high school entrance examination, and the brain is extremely stupid to learn to learn."
The other day I came to play, my dad asked me to relax, but I didn't play anything, stupid like a pig. ”
"Yunning City No. 1 in the high school entrance examination!" Zhang Chujiu said in surprise: "This 'other people's child' with stable grades is still your cousin."
Gee... People are like this, you are like that, and they still say that people are like pigs, but they don't know that their achievements are genetic mutations in the eyes of others, and the family is unfortunate. ”
Zhang Tengfei said dissatisfiedly: "What this, that, what do you say about tongue twisters, our grades are half a catty, why hurt each other like this."
There's a new machine over there.,Fighting can be doubled.,The picture is super exciting.,Go try your hand.。 ”
Zhang Chujiu's eyes lit up, "I said there is a new machine, let's go and try it." With great interest, he walked into the crowd with Zhang Tengfei.
The new game is called 'Blood Lion Furious War', the name is simple and clear, and the audience is Zhang Chujiu, a junior high school and high school boy who has just entered adolescence and likes excitement.
In addition, the picture is excellent, the characters are rich, and the action is extremely gorgeous, which attracted Zhang Chujiu and Zhang Tengfei to be reluctant to leave.
After the pastime, Zhang Chujiu's laziness faded, and he couldn't help but feel out when he thought of the 'bead refining and continuous bullet' aiming practice that had never been interrupted for a month.
Touching out his mobile phone and looking at the time, he said to Zhang Tengfei: "It's past 10 o'clock, I should go home too, what about you?"
"Come at 9 o'clock, go home at 10 o'clock," Zhang Tengfei shouted, "This is summer vacation."
Don't play until 12 o'clock, have a supper..."
As he was talking, he suddenly choked, looked at a few meters away with a blue nose and swollen face, wiping his tears, crying and wandering in the game hall, like a teenager looking for someone, opened his mouth and shouted: "Teng Yan, come here."
What's wrong with this?"
When the young man heard Zhang Tengfei's call, like a chicken looking for an old hen, he hurriedly ran over, crying and stammering: "Brother, someone asked me just now for game currency."
If I don't give it, they will beat me up. ”
Any entertainment place where young people gather will not be peaceful.
And arcade halls, which are said to be expensive or not, are cheap but not cheap in low-end consumption places, and most often attract some 'rotten boys'.
This kind of person is not very old, at most in his early 20s, dropped out of middle school in his teens, and began to mix in society, and he didn't really go to the club to make black money, so he said that the ruffian was not a ruffian, and that the hooligan was not a hooligan.
Big things don't commit small things, and they take extortion as their profession, but they don't dare to provoke adults, they will only harm students, and the amount of extortion is embarrassing, that is, a few game coins and a little pocket money, so that they can play a free game, and then drink a drink, eat a meal, buy a pack of cigarettes and mix a belly.
And if the blackmail fails, he won't touch the real guy, usually just punch a few times, slap a few times, and scold two swear words.
Even if he is arrested for this matter, it is impossible to sentence him to prison, and he will squat in the detention center for more than ten days at most, and then he will come out, and he will not be painful or itchy, and there is no deterrent effect.
In addition, these rotten boys are very eye-catching, and they do not move to those guests who often patronize the game hall and spend money to be familiar with the boss, and the boss will easily not care about them if there is more than one thing, which makes it like psoriasis in the game hall, which cannot be cured.
