The metaverse, starting with a deadlock

crackle! !
A thick bolt of lightning pierced the night and illuminated the sky.

The food stall suddenly fell into darkness, and the afterglow of the lightning outside made the old fox's face flickering, as if a ghost listening to an opera in a story came to reality and wanted to claim everyone's life.

"Everyone, don't panic. It should be tripped. I'm going to change the fuse now, and it will be fine soon." The boss yelled in the dark, and then hurried out in the rain.

With a bang, a tongue of flame bloomed in the darkness, and then the smoke rose, and Yuan Chao's handsome face could be vaguely seen behind the smoke. Those eyes, which were as bright as the stars in the sky, seemed to flash a strange light that was difficult to see.

Several people did not speak in the dark, as if each had their own minds, the atmosphere seemed a bit oppressive, except for the occasional heavy breathing that could be heard, it seemed that everyone had disappeared into the darkness.

Suddenly, the light bulb flickered violently, everyone's eyes blurred, and then the store was filled with light, and the light returned to the world.

Yuan Chao leaned back on the chair and smoked, the dense smoke obscured his expression, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

The old fox's face was pale, with a look of lingering fear. He didn't know whether he was frightened by the sudden power failure just now or by the ghost story he told.

A Lang still kept his head buried in his drink in silence, his occasionally revealing gaze was as cold as a poisonous snake lurking in the dark.

Chen Kai had a fat smile on his face, like a Maitreya Buddha, but if you observe carefully, you can see that there seems to be a coldness hidden in his warm smile.

The boss hurried back to the store, drenched in the rain, and kept pouring wine to several people to accompany him.

"Hahaha, boss, don't blame yourself, it's just an accident, it's okay! Don't let the atmosphere stop, everyone has agreed to tell a ghost story, let's do it!" Chen Kai clinked glasses with the boss with a big laugh, then turned and shouted to A Lang , "Poker bottle, it's your turn."

A Lang rolled his eyelids and glanced at him, without refusing, he said directly:
Cigarettes are a kind of tobacco products and have been loved by smokers all over the world since they came out. Even if they contain a variety of substances harmful to human body, they cannot resist the fanaticism of smokers.

After watching some bad movies, the young people thought it was cool to have a cigarette in their mouths, so they followed suit.

In the workplace, young people feel that there is nothing easier to get closer to each other than offering cigarettes to each other, so they are used to it.

The middle-aged and elderly people are addicted to it because of the heavy pressure of life, smoking one can not only refresh their minds but also relieve their worries.

This is the unique charm of cigarettes.

Mo Yun is 25 years old this year, but he has been smoking for 15 years. He has at least two packs of cigarettes a day. His teeth are full of yellow. Even if he doesn't smoke, he still emits a pungent smell of smoke when he talks.

However, he has a warm and generous personality, likes to give out cigarettes when he sees people, and he treats people with sincerity, so he is quite popular in the company.

On this day, there was a report from a newcomer in the company, and everyone who was assigned to Mo Yun's group greeted the newcomer one after another, and Mo Yun even boldly said to the newcomer that he was welcome to ask for advice at any time.

During the lunch break, everyone planned to have lunch near the company before returning to rest, but Mo Yun couldn't wait to run from the office to the stairwell.

Mo Yun sat comfortably on the steps in the stairwell, swallowing clouds intoxicatedly.

Damn the new leader, why is everything fine? Why do you stipulate that you can't smoke within the company, and you can deduct your salary every time you catch it!
Mo Yun thought bitterly, because he had been caught three times this month, and his wages had been deducted 1800 yuan. Just thinking about him made him feel so depressed that he died.

Xiangjiang officially promulgated the smoking ban in 1982. Recently, some senators in this district have insisted on the smoking ban in order to run for elections. They joined forces with environmentalists to make a lot of noise, and most of the businesses in the entire area were forced to participate. The campaign to ban smoking has made old smokers like Mo Yun very uncomfortable, and it is difficult for them to smoke a cigarette properly.

So he would rather eat takeaway at the company than go to the restaurant to eat food recently. Not being able to smoke is a torture for a smoker like him.

While he was thinking wildly, someone sat next to him, turned around and found that it was the newcomer Wang Yi.

Wang Yi greeted with a smile, "Brother Mo, don't you go out to eat and hide here to smoke?"

"Yeah, why don't you go to eat?" Mo Yun said while handing out cigarettes to Wang Yi.

Wang Yi took Mo Yun's cigarette and lit it, puffed out the smoke ring skillfully, and cursed angrily, "It's not because of the damn smoking ban! Why don't you let me smoke the cigarettes I bought with real money? Really If you are determined to ban smoking, don’t let cigarettes flow out of the market if you have the ability.”

Every sentence of Wang Yi's words caught Mo Yun's itching, and he immediately had a good impression of this new boy, feeling excited that a close friend was hard to find, he laughed and agreed, and discussed and exchanged the pros and cons of various cigarettes with Wang Yi.

"Brother Mo, I didn't say that most of the cigarettes on the market are really boring. It's boring to smoke lightly." Wang Yi said mysteriously, then took out a box of incense boxes without a trademark, and handed one To Mo Yun, "Come and taste my brother's handmade cigarettes, I promise you will have endless aftertaste."

Mo Yun took the cigarette with some hesitation, and didn't light it up to smoke immediately. He put it in front of his nose and smelled it. There was a strange fragrance that shocked him. According to his years of smoking experience, it was definitely a good cigarette.

Just when he was about to ask about the origin of the smoke, something in Wang Yi's trouser pocket suddenly rang. When Wang Yi took it out, Mo Yun's eyes lit up.

Good guy, it's the latest Motorola CD928, the world's first full-Chinese mobile phone!

It's hard to tell that this kid is a hidden tyrant.

Mo Yun is a child from a rural area in the New Territories. Most of his monthly salary has to help the family. Apart from eating, renting a house and smoking, there is not much left at all. Over time, he has some hatred of the rich.

"Brother Mo, I'm sorry. The team leader is looking for me. I'm leaving. I'll smoke and chat with you when I have time." Wang Yi hung up the phone and smiled apologetically, then got up and left.

Mo Yun took the handmade cigarette and looked at it carefully, swallowing his saliva, and wanted to try it, but the lack of any safety label made him hesitate.

The so-called guard against others is indispensable. There are too many cases in this society to prove that things of unknown origin should be touched as little as possible.

Gritting his teeth, Mo Yun still resisted the temptation. Seeing that the lunch break was running out, he hurried back to the office.

Mo Yun was absent-minded throughout the afternoon. He couldn't help reaching into his pocket to touch the cigarette countless times, but finally held back.

Wang Yi was not in the office all afternoon. It seemed that he was out with the team leader on some errands. Mo Yun couldn't help but feel a little lost, and wanted to ask him about the situation so that he could enjoy the cigarette without worries.

After finally getting off work, Mo Yun hurried back to the dormitory, browsed the Internet for a set of how to identify whether a cigarette was infiltrated with drugs, and finally found that there was no reliable method at all, and immediately collapsed on the chair like a deflated balloon.

All night, Mo Yun's mind was full of that very attractive cigarette, and he couldn't even eat dinner.

After lying down on the bed, Mo Yun tossed and turned irritably, but couldn't fall asleep, finally gritted his teeth hard, kicked off the quilt to get up, picked up the cigarette and walked to the balcony.

Embracing the solemnity of seeing death as home, Mo Yun gritted his teeth and lit the cigarette, closed his eyes and brought the butt of the cigarette to his lips, took a deep breath in his mouth.

With a bang, an unprecedented pleasure hit Mo Yun's mind. It seemed that something earth-shaking changed in his consciousness. All the cells in his body seemed to be active, beating uncontrollably, and his soul seemed to be about to leave his body, floating like a celestial being.

Mo Yun has never tasted such a top-quality cigarette, and to say that this cigarette is a top-quality cigarette is already insulting it.

This is not a cigarette, it is simply a panacea!

Indulging in the extreme pleasure brought by cigarettes, Mo Yun could not regain his senses for a long time. He only wished that time would stop at this moment, and he was willing to indulge in this extreme pleasure forever.

After an unknown amount of time, Mo Yun finally came back to his senses, only to find that the cigarette he held between his fingers had already been burned out, and he couldn't help howling mournfully in the middle of the night.

This is simply a crime. Mo Yun couldn't forgive himself for taking only one puff of such a top-quality cigarette.

What is violent waste, this is violent waste, I wish I could slap myself to death.

Mo Yun spent the whole night in remorse and aftertaste, and returned to the company the next day with big dark circles under his eyes.

After entering the office, Mo Yun's eyes lit up immediately. Wang Yi was among them, talking and laughing happily with his colleagues.

Mo Yun strode forward and grabbed Wang Yi's arm tightly, like a drowning person grabbing a straw, his eyes flashed with madness.

Mo Yun's strange behavior immediately startled the people around him, but he didn't care at all. He stared fixedly at Wang Yi, and begged in a hoarse voice, "Cigar... yesterday's cigarette, can you give me another one?"

Wang Yi seemed to be frightened by Mo Yun, subconsciously took out the metal cigarette case from his arms, and handed the whole pack of cigarettes to Mo Yun.

Mo Yun took the cigarette case as if he had found a treasure, jumped up happily, and ran to the stairwell.

Like a drug addict, Mo Yun squatted fanatically in the stairwell, with trembling hands, carefully took out a cigarette and lit it.

There was a bang in his mind, and the extreme pleasure was reproduced again. This time Mo Yun had experience, and he did not dare to indulge in it. He forced himself back to reality, and continued to smoke cigarettes with a smile on his face. The extreme pleasure was like a torrent of water, flowing continuously. coming.

At this moment, Mo Yun seemed to experience the feeling of a fairy.

After smoking the cigarette, Mo Yun was refreshed and felt more energetic than ever. When he returned to the office and saw Wang Yi, he was a little embarrassed because he didn't want to return the remaining cigarettes to him.

Fortunately, Wang Yi did not pursue the cigarettes from him, and gave him the cigarettes as a favor, but told him that although the cigarettes are good, they are also harmful to the body, and hoped that he would be more restrained.

Seeing Wang Yi so eye-catching, Mo Yun was even more delighted, praised him for his boldness, and patted his chest to promise that he would not hesitate to ask him for any difficulties in the future.

Mo Yun, who was overjoyed, did not notice the inexplicable look in Wang Yi's eyes hidden behind his glasses.

For the next few days, Wang Yi did not show up in the office, and followed the team leader on business outside.

But the atmosphere in the office was a bit weird and heavy.

The reason lies with Mo Yun.

In less than a week, he is aging at a speed visible to the naked eye every day.

Until now, he actually looks almost 20 years older.

His previously thick black hair was now streaked with gray, his skin was loose and sallow, and he coughed from time to time, but his mental state was very excited and fanatical. The colleagues around him were a little afraid of him and did not dare to approach him.

Mo Yun didn't seem to notice his strangeness, and he looked very excited every day.

Feeling a little thirsty, Mo Yun got up to go to the drinking room to drink some water, but before he could stand still, he suddenly fell back straight and passed out.

Seeing this, colleagues rushed forward and rushed him to the hospital.

Mo Yun's popularity was really good, and several well-meaning colleagues accompanied him outside the emergency room. After a while, the lights in the emergency room went out, the doctor came out in a hurry, and several colleagues hurried forward to inquire about the situation.

The doctor said blankly, "Lung cancer is at an advanced stage, it was discovered too late, and time is running out. You are his subordinates, please notify his children to come here as soon as possible."

Several colleagues were dumbfounded, and they were caught off guard by the doctor's words. A female colleague said in amazement, "Doctor, what did you say? He is only 25 years old this year. Where did he have children?"

The doctor was startled when he heard the words, and then he couldn't help scolding, "Are you kidding me? He's only 25 years old? Let me tell you, he's definitely not less than 45 years old! I don't have time to mess around with you, so let his family members know as soon as possible Bar."

The doctor's words made several colleagues shudder, and they found that the doctor did not seem to be joking at all.

Here comes the question, how can a 25-year-old youth suddenly become a 45-year-old middle-aged and elderly person?

……

Wang Yi was dining with a middle-aged man in a high-end private restaurant in Victoria Harbour. Wang Yi suddenly asked, "Master, is it really all right?"

The middle-aged man raised his head when he heard the words, wiped his mouth gracefully with a napkin, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Young Master Wang, I have been looking for a long time before I found someone in your company who matches your father's horoscope and can borrow your life.

That Mo Yun was originally only about 45 years old, and he was destined to be addicted to smoking. Now, exchanging the most wonderful cigarettes in the world for his 20 years of life, is nothing more than allowing him to seek benevolence and win benevolence, absolutely fair and just.

The "Jie Shou Yan" made by this seat using a unique secret method is guaranteed to be foolproof. One cigarette can be exchanged for one year of Yangshou, and your father can recover his health immediately, and his life will be increased by at least 10 years.

Mo Yun is doomed to die from the torture of illness, and now we help him out quite early and let him die in bliss, so Wang Shao doesn't have to feel guilty. "

After hearing this, Wang Yi heaved a sigh of relief, picked up the wine glass and shook the blood-colored red wine in the glass, and said in a contemptuous tone, "Master misunderstood, civilians are common people, and their lives are as cheap as ants. Now we have the opportunity to make a contribution to the pillars of our society." Contribution is clearly the blessing he cultivated in his previous life, how could I feel guilty for a pariah? That box of cigarettes cost me more than 3000 million yuan, who else in this world has the opportunity to smoke such expensive cigarettes?"

"Come on, master, drink this glass of wine, happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation!"
