Chapter 396: That Morbid and Paranoid Game Development Character (35)
A gentle and low voice sounded next to his ear, flowing softly like a breeze blowing past, rubbing the tip of his heart, making him numb and itchy.
Mo You tilted his head, and the monster in his arms from behind rested its chin on his shoulder. After sensing his gaze, it narrowed its eyes, and the black area around its mouth moved, and then the voice that sounded like an illusion rang again.
【Good boy. 】
Mo You didn't react for a moment.
Are you...calling him?
It turns out Mr. Monster can talk, and his voice is so nice.
His heart beat slightly faster, and Mo You thought he was very calm. But if there was a mirror here at this moment, it would reflect his astonished eyes and rosy cheeks.
His lips trembled, and he choked a little, "Mr. Monster..."
He never thought about being able to communicate with the monster. Most of the time, he was the one talking and the monster was listening. Occasionally, the monster would respond with a touch. The monster had never refused his hug, which was enough for him.
——This is what Mo You thought in the last second.
But when the monster really opened his mouth, he realized that the essence of human beings is greed, insatiable greed.
His voice was so soft as if he was afraid to disturb the butterflies that had landed on his eyelashes, "Mr. Monster, are you calling me?"
He doesn't know who [Good Boy] is.
But with his clever mind, how could he not guess who the monster was calling?
Looking at the monster who said two words and then kept silent, Mo You was looking forward to it more than ever before - he wanted to hear Mr. Monster's voice again, anything would be fine.
The strength of holding the monster's neck was so great that it seemed as if he was integrating into its body, or in other words, he was holding his whole world.
[Are you calling me? ]
——After calling out the two words "good boy", Bai Yichen buried his head in the quilt. The tips of his ears turned red, and the knuckles holding the phone curled up like a shy little girl, wishing she could hide herself.
Ah! He really called the good boy's name! What would the good boy's reaction be? Would he be happy? Would he come over to give him a kiss? Would he jump for joy? Would he cover his eyes with his two paws and look at him secretly?
He couldn't help but scream with excitement when he thought of the cute reaction that the little one might have!
Stay calm, don’t scare the kid!
After a long period of mental preparation, Bai Yichen patted his cheeks, which were incredibly hot. His hair fell beside his sparkling eyes, and he held the phone in both hands.
【Are you still there? 】
[…I really want to talk to you.]
【…】
Bubbles with black text on a white background slowly rose up, and the color of the top bubble had faded to the point of almost disappearing. Bai Yichen was startled and stood up abruptly. His hand slipped and fell several times in mid-air before he held the phone steadily in his hand again.
Wiping the non-existent sweat from his forehead, he took a breath, and pressed his fingertips again with a slight tremor on their sides.
Mr. Monster seems to be in a daze.
Although no emotions could be seen in the two coil-shaped white eyes, Mo You still came to the above conclusion from the larger outline and motionless reaction.
He came back to his senses from his pleasant surprise and began to feel uneasy. Was Mr. Monster dissatisfied with his reaction? Or did what he said offend him, causing Mr. Monster to refuse to talk to him again?
No, he was unwilling to accept either possibility.
The hallucinatory voice just now was rooted in his heart, and penetrated deeply into the softest part of his heart when he was not paying attention, and then turned into a hot spring that surrounded him completely.
The monster's voice is in line with human aesthetics, pleasant to hear in every sense, and extremely gentle.
When I mustered up my courage and tried to call the monster again, a much hoarse voice came into my ears again.
【I am here. 】
There could not be two words that could make Mo You feel more at ease than these - perhaps it was not the words, but the thing that said these two words.
Mo You suddenly felt like crying, so he buried his head in the monster's chest. Almost the next second, the back of his head was covered by a slightly cold hand. The monster, mistakenly thinking that he was sad, moved his throat and uttered two words in a hurry.
【Don’t cry.】
Those tears were strangely soothed, just like an oasis that you happen to encounter while walking in the desert, a chair that appears in front of you when you are tired, or a candy that is handed to you when your mouth is bitter.
So just right, just like Mr. Monster, always appearing behind him when he needs him, and then silently showing it with actions.
'I am here. '
So, Mo You was never afraid again.
That’s right! He suddenly thought of something very, very important!
It was so important that Mo You was willing to leave the monster's arms for a while. For the first time, an expression similar to anxiety appeared on his face. "I don't even know your name yet."
The name is a curse, and it is the proof of existence in this world. When the monster did not speak, things about the 'name' were downplayed. But when the language medium appeared, it became more and more difficult for Mo You to call 'Mr. Monster'.
Mo You's face flushed, and his eyes were moist - after all, it called him good boy.
A name that made him feel shy just by hearing it.
In the eyes of the monster, I must be just a child who can't be any smaller, right? Or a fragile piece of porcelain that will break at the slightest touch.
It doesn't matter, as long as the monster likes it, he is willing to be a "good boy" forever, a good boy belonging only to Mr. Monster.
[…I want to know your name.]
Bai Yichen read this sentence over and over again, and when the bubble was about to disappear, he quickly took a screenshot and saved it in an album called "My Good Child's Diary", which is also the only album in the album.
He clenched his fists and punched the air twice to relieve his excitement that had nowhere to vent.
My dear, I want to know his name!
The good boy is asking his name actively!
So happy, so happy, so happy, so happy!!!
His brain was like fireworks exploding and his whole body was in a daze, especially when the little black cat looked at him intently with its watery eyes, as pure and beautiful as a winter plum blossom soaked in snow water.
The furry triangular ears bounced left and right, anxiously waiting for an answer, and the pink paw pads seemed to be touching him through the screen. It was really, so cute!
Bai Yichen pressed his cheek against the screen, rubbing his flesh up and down, then offering it to the cat's paw to touch.
Very nice.
【Bai Yichen.】
The three words were spoken in a voice so warm that it made one want to cry. The monster thought about it, then wrote them down stroke by stroke on Mo You's palm with his fingers. In order to make him see clearly, he deliberately moved very slowly.
"Bai, Yi, Chen——"
Mo You gestured without blinking as he portrayed the three words in his mind, then engraved them firmly in his bones and blood. When he clenched his hand, he also grasped the monster's fingers in his palm. He raised his head and smiled brightly.
"Achen."
When he didn't know his name, he always addressed him as "Sir" respectfully, but now he just calls him Ah Chen directly, so intimately.
Mo You saw the monster tilt his head and said softly, "Can't I call you that? I feel very close to you this way..."
The tone of voice, as sweet as melted silk, made the monster nod repeatedly. He put his hands under his armpits and picked up Mo You, with little flowers all over his body.
【like. 】
The monster thought about it and added another sentence.
【As long as it's you, I like it. 】
"..."
Mo You covered his face tightly and refused to look up.
It’s so foul…
"Achen, I eat one piece of the candy you gave me every day!"
The way of changing the subject was not skillful, but the monster, who was blinded by the good boy, did not resist at all and was pulled obediently to the drawer, where there was a jar of candy half empty.
The monster came closer and was shocked. He squatted down and held down Mo You. Under the boy's confused gaze, he pinched the soft cheek with the thumb and index finger of his right hand, applying a little force.
[Don’t eat too much, or you’ll get cavities. ]
Mo You paused and was about to say that he didn't eat much, and some of the candy was used to bribe the wandering children, but seeing the monster's eager look, he obediently opened his mouth.
The snow-white and neat teeth flashed, and then the mouth closed. Mo You shyly tilted his head. Even Mr. Monster felt a little embarrassed about such a private place as the mouth.
"No……"
The monster blinked. It hadn’t finished reading yet, so why wasn’t it allowed to continue reading?
"There are no cavities." Mo You's voice was as soft as a mosquito's hum. He wiped the moisture from the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand and said carefully, "Achen, don't be angry."
Some things cannot be explained clearly in words. Mo You was embarrassed to say that he was embarrassed, but he was afraid that the monster would be angry because of his rejection.
He didn't want to make Mr. Monster angry.
"Well."
The big hand falling from above his head felt slightly cold, but it made Mo You feel warm as if he had walked through ice, the monster said with a smile.
【I won’t be angry.】
【I will never be angry with a good kid. 】
Mo You...Mo You felt his heart beating so fast.
He thought that he had begun to like the name "good boy", which was just a nickname that Mr. Monster gave him.
Some words came out naturally.
"I like Ah Chen the most."
"Will you stay with me forever?"
Before this, a question that had already been answered was asked again, but... Mo You swallowed his saliva, he wanted to hear it with his own ears.
【certainly. 】
Bai Yichen responded with a slightly trembling voice, thinking that just because Xingye brought the good boy to him, he would never call Xingye a dog again.
The clock on the wall ticked away, and Bai Yichen no longer felt the hardship. The cat doll on the bed had long been put into the cabinet by him. It was what he wanted.
He rubbed the tip of the cat's ear on the screen with his fingertips, and the obedient cat offered its other ear to him, and Bai Yichen felt warm in his heart.
——There is only this one cat.
"Tuk Tuk Tuk"
There was a knock on the door.
Bai Yichen looked up and realized belatedly that the sound came from the cell phone.
【…】
The monster blended into the shadows like ink-black running water, without even having time to say hello, for fear of being discovered and causing trouble for Mo You.
The hand he stretched out touched nothing. The remaining warmth in Mo You's eyes completely disappeared after he opened the door. He did not hide his displeasure at all.
"You better have something important to do."
The child at the door was a head taller than Mo You. When he heard Mo You's cold tone, he wished he could turn into an ostrich and bury his head in the ground.
He trembled and said, "The people who collected protection fees from the Dragon and Tiger Gang found four bodies on a side street. Their deaths were horrific."
The boy swallowed, his fingers twitching uncontrollably. His stomach churned at the thought of the miserable plight of those four men, but he had already vomited once before coming here.
"The gang members reported it, and Long Hai handed the matter over to Long Fei for a thorough investigation. That's how it was."
After recovering a bit, the boy licked his cracked lips and said, "I don't know why, Long Ming suddenly broke in. Now the gang members below are all wondering if Long Ming took the wrong medicine to steal the job from Long Fei."
Mo You said calmly, "Long Fei must look very unhappy."
The boy was no longer surprised by Mo You's ability to foresee things, and nodded vigorously, "It's more than just ugly."
"One of our people saw it. Long Fei was still smiling, but he turned around and flew into a rage because one of his men did something wrong."
Mo You's expression looked better.
Long Hai was probably very pleased, but Long Fei was bound to be angry. It was not a good sign that his brother, who had always been idle, arrogant and brainless, suddenly started to make progress.
Attacking his subordinates was just an excuse. I'm afraid they are now asking around about who Long Ming met today and what happened.
Unfortunately, the bodies of the four people who knew about it were already cold, and it was even less likely that Long Ming himself would tell the truth.
Mo You was both satisfied and dissatisfied with the result. He did not expect Long Ming to act so quickly and he overestimated the other party's patience. But he was satisfied that he actually managed to snatch the advantage from Long Fei.
But that was also because Long Hai didn't take it seriously, otherwise this matter would not have fallen on Long Ming's head.
Let him see what the Young Master of the Dragon and Tiger Gang can find out.
It's dusk outside, tomorrow will be a busy day.
While he was thinking, the boy standing outside the door never dared to look up. Even though his legs were shaking, he only moved them quietly.
"well done."
A full plastic bag was thrown into his arms, and the boy quickly hugged it tightly, ecstatic, "Don't worry, if there is any movement from the Dragon Tiger Gang in the future, I will definitely come to inform you as soon as possible!"
As he left, he kept bowing and saying thank you, and ran away quickly.
In addition to the gang members in the downtown area, the children are the most well-informed. Children who have no parents and live together are a vulnerable group. They can only rummage through garbage cans or pick up some leftovers to fill their stomachs. When they are really hungry, they will steal something from the store.
If they are lucky, they can fill their stomachs; if they are unlucky, they will be beaten half to death - when survival has become a luxury, they are willing to take risks.
Mo You bribed them with food.
Compared to having this meal and not having the next one, smart people know how to choose.
Mo You was responsible for providing food, and the children were responsible for providing him with information about the Dragon and Tiger Gang. No matter how big or small, as long as he deemed it useful, they would be rewarded.
These children were scattered everywhere and became Mo You's eyes and ears. It could be said that whenever the Dragon and Tiger Gang members went out for a drink or a meal, or even just chatted on the road, there would always be a child in the dark who would remember every word of their conversation.
As long as he integrates and compares the information from the Money Gang undercover agents with the information brought by the children, he will naturally get what he wants.
He doesn't trust anyone.
【Good boy, have some candy. 】
The monster hooked its elongated hands on the door and hugged Mo You's body from behind. Its black hands wrapped around him twice and unfolded in front of Mo You's eyes. The transparent cellophane looked colorful and beautiful under the light.
Mo You opened his mouth and accepted the food from the monster.
Well, except Mr. Monster.
