Chapter 21 Exchange

As the sun sets, the orange sunlight spreads out on the other side of the Xiangjiang River, and a dazzling light envelops the rows of high-rise buildings, reflecting a brilliant halo in the gaps in the glass exterior wall.

This is the most glorious and prosperous appearance of the city, it seems to be a warm and happy color, but in reality, there are inaccessible garbage alleys, and there are also dark corners under the cover of colorful colors.

The Internet, like the city, has dark places that you haven't been to.

The dark web is one such place.

Cheng Mo has long heard of the dark web, in 2017, the disappearance of the famous Chinese female student Zhang XX is related to the dark web, the murderer Christensen is a dark web user, and regards a BT website on the dark web as his spiritual home, there are various kidnapping tutorials and strategies on it, and Christensen After learning, Zhang XX became his prey from the virtual world to the real world.

Only the dark web BT website that Christensen joined, has five million users around the world, and this is only the tip of the iceberg of the dark web, in general, the dark web users in China are the fewest in general, that is because there is a Great Wall in China, most people are always complaining that the Great Wall surrounds us inside, but they don't know that the Great Wall not only surrounds us, but also protects us.

Human nature, once there is darkness to ferment and grow, can become a soul-devouring monster.

Cheng Mo is not interested in the dark side of human nature, and if you read a lot of anthropological books, you will know that human history is a history of bloodstained slaughter, and it is needless to say that the cannibalism in the era of Ru Mao's blood drinking is basically a game of genocide, Neanderthals, Denisovans, East Asian Homo erectus, and dwarfs on the island of Indonesia - these close relatives of our Homo sapiens (Note 1) have all been exterminated in the journey of global expansion of Homo sapiens.

But in reality, these "human races" are only a tiny fraction of the extinction of our ancestors, Homo sapiens.

During this period, the main object of human slaughter was animals, and a large number of animals disappeared in the long river of history during this period.

However, there is nothing wrong with the killings in this period, after all, at that time, humanity had not yet produced a real civilization.

After the emergence of agricultural civilization, human beings began to get rid of the stage of drinking blood and entered an orderly living in clusters, so killing became a group behavior, and the birth of the country most directly proved the hegemony of human beings in the animal kingdom, which is the real king of all beasts, not the primate of all things.

After the formation of the state, the main enemy of humanity became human, and a proper term was given to this slaughter - war.

Even though it seems that humans are now very civilized, with glasses, ties, and books, in fact Homo sapiens is a very fierce and terrifying species.

The most recent massacre in Rwanda, which killed more than a million people, was only 23 years ago.

Therefore, killing is a factor that is deeply valued in human genes.

Otherwise, why are almost all games killing-themed?

Cheng Mo has always believed that people who say that games are spiritual YA movies should die, if it weren't for the birth of video games, which shifted the killing from the real world to the virtual world, then maybe the Third World War would have broken out long ago.

If you can't talk about it, you can do it - human beings are such a thing, so you don't have to take civilization too seriously.

Of course, this is not the moment when Cheng Mo is worried about the fate of mankind, he himself is just a low-class person crawling around in the cracks of the city's buildings, and he is not qualified to be sad for such a grand proposition as "human", what he cares about at the moment is how to get on this damn dark web.

Cheng Mo searched for it, and soon mastered the skills of boarding the dark web, the key is that "onion routing" (Note 2) is not available in China, but Cheng Mo has already opened a VPN, and good English is this good, after using Google to solve the download problem of "onion routing", Cheng Mo can board this notorious underground network.

After all this, the sun had completely set, and there was only a large patch of sparkling light outside the window, Cheng Mo turned on the desk lamp and sat in front of the shiny computer, there was a black shadow of the desk lamp and the computer screen on the wall, and his own shadow was embedded on the table.

At this moment, Cheng Mo's hand trembled slightly, and he entered the address bar of the web page according to the row of garbled URLs on the receipt slip, and then gently pressed enter.......

It turned out to be as he imagined it - the browser popped up a line after reading it for a long time: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. (link error)

Cheng Mo knew that the answer could not be written on the receipt in a grand manner, but he was sure that it was a dark web URL, because most dark web URLs mostly ended with the "onion/" domain name of the onion.

Cheng Mo quickly used Google to find a dark web search engine: Torch (torch), and then found a navigation website like Hao123 Hidden Wiki, a very simple page in the form of txt, black background, orange text, with commonly used dark web search engines, commonly used bitcoin trading websites, those websites can buy illegal things, etc., etc...

Cheng Mo went directly to Silk Road 3.0 (Silk Road), the largest bottom mall on the dark web, and the loading page was pitch black, only a black three-dimensional mask drawn by white lines in the middle, and three lines of English letters below, one of which was a link to click into.

After Cheng Mo entered, he found that there are only two differences between the "Silk Road" and ordinary shopping websites, one is that it can only be settled with Bitcoin, and it is difficult to move an inch on the dark web without Bitcoin.

The second is that it sells a lot of things that ordinary shopping websites can't buy, such as passports of various countries that can enter your identity information into the customs database, all kinds of guns, illegal medicine bottles, anonymous credit cards, all kinds of unimaginable videos and other messy things.....

But there is no vinyl record here.

If ordinary people find this point and haven't found it, they may all collapse, but Cheng Mo's expression is getting more and more serious, because he knows that the deeper the hidden something, the more valuable and dangerous it is.

When he found out about this, Cheng Mo began to wonder if his father's death was an accident.

And what kind of role is Li Jiting playing?

Cheng Mo felt that things were getting more and more weird and strange, he took off his glasses, closed his eyes and pressed his temples a few times, recalling that his father had left no clues before he died, but Cheng Mo recalled carefully and found that the communication between the two fathers and sons was so little, especially after his father went to the capital, he almost reported his safety every week, and in addition, there was very little contact.

Cheng Mo didn't want to think about what happened when he was a child, after his mother left, he lived a life under the care of a nanny, as for Cheng Yongze, he almost didn't care about him, he remembered that when he was a child, in order to attract his father's attention, he refused to cut his hair, and his hair was as long as your girl, and Cheng Yongze didn't ask him to get a haircut.

So he changed his method to pee on the bed every day, but Cheng Yongze still never cared about it, and he didn't even criticize it, but after Cheng Mo tried his best to toss and forced away the sixth nanny, Cheng Yongze talked to him.

Cheng Yongze said to Cheng Mo in the messy bedroom: "When you want something, you must come up with enough things in exchange, interpersonal relationships are the exchange of practical interests and psychological benefits between people, you can neither provide practical benefits nor psychological benefits when making trouble, how can you get what you want?"

Seven-year-old Cheng Mo already understood what exchange meant at this time, because he often used money to buy snacks, but he had always thought that it was natural to ask his father for money, and he asked a little blankly: "Exchange?"

Cheng Yongze looked at it and nodded: "Yes, Cheng Mo, you have to remember this, the only constant in this world is exchange, without exchange, there will be no balance, no balance can be reached, whether it is energy or matter, whether it is the social system or interpersonal relationships, it will .....collapse like a building block."

Cheng Mo still regards this sentence as a golden rule, and at this time, Cheng Mo realized how deeply he was influenced by his father imperceptibly.

Cheng Mo stopped recalling, put on his glasses and entered the sage mode again, he found a Chinese search engine through navigation on the dark web, and then found the largest Chinese forum on the dark web - Baiwu Taboo.

The forum only has a discussion area and a trading area, and most of the trading areas are for the acquisition of various materials, such as identity information, ID photos, and of course, drugs, videos, and many other things.....

After Cheng Mo registered an account, he posted a request for help on the Baiwu Taboo forum, Bitcoin begged a master to teach hacking techniques, although all the assets he could use couldn't afford a single Bitcoin, but this did not prevent him from deceiving people....
