Gloomy CEO X Holographic Male God (15): 47: No, you can’t

Mor got the key to Zhou Qi’s house and, following Zhou Qi’s instructions, found that video.

As soon as Mor opened the video, his eyes widened in shock at the scenes inside. Looking at the video, Mor saw a much younger and More vulnerable version of Si Qi than now, being surrounded and beaten by a group of people until he was on the ground, crying helplessly with every kick, repeatedly saying “let me go, why.” Mor couldn’t help but watch the video over and over again, laughing from start to finish, exclaiming how satisfying it was.

After watching it, thinking about how 47 usually got a hundred responses with just a call on the internet, and his usual condescending attitude, Mor suddenly felt a sense of satisfaction. Without saying a word, he took out his phone, sent the video to his own phone, and then, with a smug look on his face, drove back to the company, blocking Si Qi, who was about to log into the holographic chamber to play a game.

He waved the phone in his hand and said to Si Qi with a meaningful look, “Shall we talk?”

He had already learned all the details from Xiu Xiu and had personally witnessed how this person mocked the original owner during the school bullying incident and how he ridiculed the original owner. Now, seeing this person with not a hint of a good expression.

He followed the smug guy to the corridor, watching as the man arrogantly opened the video, showing the chaotic, malicious scenes filled with insults and cries for mercy to Si Qi.

Si Qi kept a cold expression, glanced at the video, then looked up at the arrogant man across from him: “What do you want to do?”

“Heh.” Mor raised his chin and said to Si Qi, “What do you think?”

Si Qi: “I can’t imagine the thoughts of a despicable person.”

Mor’s eyes turned fierce as he swung his phone at Si Qi’s head, shouting, “Don’t give me that look!”

Si Qi casually tilted his head to dodge.

He executed missions in the game every day and had experienced many thrilling battles. His reflexes were very quick; it would be strange if this guy could ever catch him.

Mor, feeling humiliated by his failed attack, looked at Si Qi with increasingly fierce eyes.

“I warn you, if you don’t want these videos to spread, you’d better behave yourself and do whatever I say! Otherwise, those fans who like you will definitely be surprised to see you kneeling on the ground, begging for mercy… Those internet users who thrive on chaos will spread your embarrassing photos all over the world, and you will have to live your life in the gossip of others.”

Si Qi let out a cold laugh, crossed his arms, and shook his head with a sigh: “Sometimes I’m really surprised at how low someone can be. Don’t you think you’re quite shameful?”

“Where am I shameful? I’ve clearly been doing good deeds all along! It’s you who are despicable and deceitful, fooling everyone! Only I see through the truth!” Mor glared and warned: “I’m telling you, I’m not joking anyMore. If you keep being so ungrateful, I’ll upload this video online immediately and ruin your reputation!”

Slap, slap.

Si Qi gave the person a round of applause, nodded slowly, made a “please” gesture, took out his phone, and called: “Hello, I want to report a crime. Someone is threatening me with videos of me being bullied by classmates during my school years, saying that I have to obey him, or he will ruin my reputation.”

“You, you dare!!” The person on the other end, Mor, widened his eyes in anger, “Alright, alright, you’re really stubborn, huh? I’ll upload the video right now! You’ll regret it when it’s too late!”

After saying that, he opened Weibo and uploaded the video.

But he didn’t know if it was the poor network or a problem with the software, it just never worked every time.

He cursed and simply posted the video in the chat group of the streamers, in the group dedicated to trolling 47, and even in his friend circle, but still, none of them worked.

It was simply bizarre!

Frustrated to the point of madness, he turned off the Wi-Fi and tried using mobile data, but it still didn’t work. Feeling extremely unlucky, he decided to leave the building and go to a place with better signal to go online.

As a result, when he turned around, he was blocked by two tall and imposing young men whose fierce demeanor was evident at first glance. The other party looked at him sternly and said, “Please stay in place and wait for the police to arrive.”

“Who the hell do you think you are, blocking my way!” Mor reached out to push the two, cursing under his breath.

Before he could finish his sentence, his body suddenly became weightless, his vision spun wildly, and he was pinned to the ground, with a warning voice coming from above.

Mor, furious, widened his eyes and continued to shout, his sharp voice attracting quite a few nearby employees and streamers.

Seeing this, Mor immediately shouted loudly, first saying that Si Qi had called someone to beat him, then saying to come and watch the video on his phone, which had an exciting recording of Si Qi being beaten by others. His attitude was very arrogant, not at all like a victim, but rather like a fool who provoked trouble and ended up getting suppressed. This made people who originally had no good feelings towards him lose even More. They had no intention of coming to help him, let alone watching the so-called video in front of Si Qi.

Subsequently, the police arrived and checked the videos on the phone, as well as the full recording of Mor threatening Si Qi, which Si Qi had unknowingly recorded at some point.

After watching, the way they looked at Mor changed completely.

Due to the irrefutable evidence, Mor was arrested by the police. The soldiers who had been protecting Si Qi accompanied him to the police station and reported the entire incident in detail.

The higher-ups found out about this matter and were furious after seeing the content of the video. Upon further investigation, they discovered that the bullying incident occurred shortly after Si Qi’s parents had a car accident and passed away! Si Qi, who had just become an orphan and suffered a huge psychological blow, finally recovered and returned to school, but instead of comforting and taking care of him, the boys ganged up and beat him up over trivial matters of jealousy, bullying him to the point where he didn’t even dare to go to school! This made his blood pressure spike, and he slammed his palm on the table repeatedly in anger.

Recalling that streamer, he actually dared to shamelessly use this matter to threaten Si Qi, making Si Qi listen to him and do things according to his arrangements. Now, how could there be any good face? He directly ordered that this matter must be handled seriously! This kind of evil trend could not continue to prevail!

The police received a notification from above and, of course, didn’t dare to make any exceptions. The evidence for this case was already conclusive, and the right and wrong were clear-cut. Even though the Mor family was influential, trying to use connections to get him out was useless; they were extremely serious about the matter.

The Mor family immediately realized that Mor had hit a brick wall this time. Not only was there no way to get Mor out, but their family’s business was also affected, forced to undergo thorough inspections and warnings from the authorities overnight.

Now no one dared to speak up for Mor anymore, and Mor had been completely abandoned by his family. His younger brother, who had always had a bad relationship with him, took the opportunity to rise to power, gaining real authority in the company. He even went to the detention center to flaunt his power and mock Mor, almost driving him to the brink of death with his gloating demeanor!

Along with his imprisonment, Mor’s live streaming room was also shut down. Netizens discovered that after zq, Mor’s live streaming room, which had offended 47, was also shut down, and he was quickly arrested. They were all surprised and rushed over to watch the drama unfold.

The official account of Shifeng had to step in once again to explain, issuing a brand new announcement. Netizens, looking at the mention of “malicious threats” and some conversations overheard by employees on the day Mor was arrested, pieced together the sequence of events.

Then they were all astonished.

“God 7 was bullied in school when he was studying?!!”

“Oh my god, I knew God 7 and that scumbag zq must have had something going on before!”

“I just went to watch the video of God 7’s first appearance, and in it, God 7 said, ‘I don’t like to show my face. Because of my appearance, I’ve encountered some bad things,’ and those bad things turned out to be school bullying!!”

“Yeah, yeah, I really feel heartbroken!! Back then, God 7 said, ‘Hearing you praise my looks doesn’t make me happy,’ and I was puzzled about why. Being handsome is great! Now that I think about it… tsk, it’s always the same thing, heartbroken!”

“Back then, God 7’s classmates were too despicable. We all know God 7n has such a good personality. What kind of heinous things could he have done to get beaten up? It was definitely those people who had issues!”

“Didn’t we already say that people are jealous of God 7 because he is good-looking… And sometimes school violence is like that, if someone wants to bully you, they won’t care whether you’ve done anything wrong. If they don’t like you, they’ll just hit you.”

“……I’m a classmate of Si Qi. After he made a public appearance a while ago, many of us recognized him and talked about him in our class group.”

“Wow! You upstairs, don’t go! Tell us more in detail!!”

“……Hey, talking about this really makes me feel complicated. At that time, we knew that Si Qi was being ostracized by the boys, and we even argued with them about it. We were too young back then, not realizing that our actions would only make those people hate Si Qi more, envy him, and make his situation worse. Now it’s too late to regret. In short, school bullying really existed back then, and it was quite excessive. It lasted for almost a whole semester, and after the summer vacation, Si Qi never came back to school again…”

“We only found out from the teacher after Si Qi refused to come to school that Si Qi’s mental state was poor last semester, not just because he had a car accident, but also because his parents died in that accident, leaving him all alone at home…”

“At that time, many of us were in tears, feeling extremely guilty towards Si Qi, and we even had arguments with the boys. But no matter how much we argued, it didn’t help; Si Qi wouldn’t be coming back to school. Those boys didn’t seem to feel any guilt at all and didn’t think to ask the teacher to find Si Qi and apologize, or to invite Si Qi back to school. After we graduated, we never contacted those people again and have no good impression of them at all.”

“Previously, I mentioned that before Si Qi publicly revealed his identity, some of our classmates actually saw Si Qi in our city. At that time, Si Qi was in a super depressed state, completely unrecognizable from the popular person he used to be in school. My classmate didn’t even dare to talk to him and thought they might have mistaken him for someone else… Just thinking about it really doesn’t sit well with me. I can’t even imagine how Si Qi managed to get through those past few years alone! It must have been extremely painful…”

“Later, after Zhou Qi posted the video, we were all furious. We cursed Zhou Qi in the group chat, saying he was a terrible person, and tried to speak up for Si Qi online, but no one paid us any attention! A bunch of people went crazy, saying that ugly people don’t deserve to be liked, accusing Si Qi of being a fraud, it was like they had gone mad. Si Qi was scolded for several days and we didn’t hear from him. We were really scared that he might do something impulsive and regrettable. Anyone in that situation would feel terrible! Because I know what kind of person Si Qi is, he has suffered so much injustice!!”

“Later, when Si Qi made an appearance, we saw that he had become even better than before, showing no signs of being downcast at all. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Really, this is the young man we remember! He was just like before, even better! Everything online about Si Qi being kind-hearted and gentle to those around him is true; he is just that kind of person! And his academic performance is genuinely excellent, so when they said he self-studied to earn a PhD, I believed it. He has always been very smart and can achieve whatever he sets his mind to. Otherwise, with so many people playing games and becoming streamers, why is he the best? Because he is amazing!”

“……”

“Oh my, the person upstairs is actually God 7 classmate! I’m genuinely envious…”

“Thank you for your words of support back then, and thank you for all the efforts you made for God 7. Thank you (tears up)”

“Woo woo woo woo woo, every time I think about the experiences God 7 had when he was young, I feel so sad. How could there be such miserable people? Those classmates are really something else. Woo woo woo woo woo, my God 7!!”

“Damn it, I really want to beat those bastards to death!”

“So that bastard Mor actually used the video of the school bullying God 7 to threaten him??? What kind of animal is this???”

“Secretly popping up, I found out which high school zq attended and even found an old class photo he posted online. Everyone, feel free to take it. [xxth grade senior class photo.JPG]”

“Whoa! I see zq! So those guys next to him are the ones who bullied God 7 with him, right?!”

“Damn, I even see my colleague?! I’m going to ask him if he was the one who bullied God 7 back then!!”

“Hey, that person looks really familiar. Is he a staff member from some agency, xxx? The background in that previous video by God 7 looks like it’s from some agency… Could it be that this person filmed it!!”

“Damn, with this kind of moral quality, they can still be a civil servant? Bullying classmates in school, beating them up, and then growing up to upload videos of others to the internet to incite online violence against them. After the incident, they didn’t even think about stopping it or clarifying things, just letting others insult 47 and watching 47 get verbally attacked by a group of people. What the hell?? What kind of human trash is this!!”

Si Qi looked at the rapidly changing comments online and rubbed his forehead.

These netizens were just too amazing. From the incident of Mor being arrested and imprisoned, they followed the clues and traced back to the original victim being bullied at school, and even identified all the people who bullied the original victim back then.

Was this… delayed justice finally arriving after many years?

The perpetrators who harmed others and indirectly caused the original victim’s suicide could no longer hide their past mistakes, exposed to the public eye and criticized by people.

It’s also a cycle of cause and effect, karma not being satisfied.

If the original owner was still here, he would definitely cry with mixed feelings and then find solace in letting go of the past pain.

And this ending was what the original owner deserved. Because he was good enough, liked by his classmates and the audience, everyone felt sorry for him, protected him, and spoke up for him.

This was all thanks to the original owner’s own efforts.

What Si Qi had to do was to slightly mention the “lucky” Child of the World, who had rarely been brought up by anyone.

Soon, a comment appeared online. A user with the username “Xiu Xiu” expressed confusion, saying, “But Mor is not a classmate of God 7? How would he know about the campus violence back then? And how could he get the threatening video?”

Netizens immediately reacted, angrily replying: “Damn! It must have been zq who told him! He’s a classmate of God 7, and has been maliciously targeting God 7 for a while now. Plus, he’s Mor’s teammate, colluding with Mor. The two of them keep bad mouthing God 7 in the livestream! It’s totally normal for Mor to hear about this from zq and even get the threat video!”

“So, does this mean that zq is also involved in the matter of Mor threatening the 7 gods? @XX City Public Security Bureau, we suggest a thorough investigation into this matter! We absolutely cannot let the mastermind behind the scenes get away with it!!”

“This zq is truly disgusting, a bad seed since childhood! Just look at the bad things he’s done: school violence, online defamation, stealing company confidential information, inciting others to threaten and intimidate… each and every one of these crimes is too numerous to mention!!”

“We strongly demand that the authorities give zq a severe punishment! This guy is rotten to the core and needs to undergo strict ideological reform!”

“Requesting+1!”

“Requesting+2!”

Accompanied by the netizens’ petitions, the world power of the Son of the World plummeted at a visibly rapid pace, making Xiu Xiu overjoyed, constantly reporting good news to Si Qi.

Since then, the impression the Son of the World left on the public had been completely ruined. After being fined a huge amount of money for breaking the law, almost losing everything, and then being imprisoned for several years, the Son of the World, whose reputation was utterly destroyed, found it extremely difficult to rise again after being released from prison.

And during these years, it was enough for Si Qi to promote and develop holographic technology, allowing the world’s power of this world to be completely concentrated on him.

By then, the Son of the World, who had lost his reputation and the support of the world’s power, would stand no chance against Si Qi, who was empowered by the world’s power. He would probably not even be qualified to see Si Qi’s face.

The Son of the World waited in prison for his teammates’ good news, but after waiting and waiting, he received the bad news that his crimes had been compounded, and his sentence had been extended from three years to six years, a full doubling.

His vision went black, filled with regret, and he collapsed on the ground, crying and howling as he cursed his incompetent teammates several times. By the time he tried to plead for mercy, it was already too late.

What drove him to the brink of collapse was that, with the rise of holographic technology, the country was vigorously supporting and promoting the holographic field, extending this technology to every aspect of daily life. As a promoter of holographic technology, a leading figure in the academic field, and a superstar with immense popularity among the public, Si Qi rightfully became the spokesperson for holographic technology.

Whether it was watching the advertisement on TV, using holographic-related products, or even hearing the system prompt sound in the holographic chamber, one could see Si Qi’s shadow everywhere!

Many people were captivated by Si Qi’s beauty, replaying the CCTV broadcast advertisement that lasted over a minute repeatedly, lamenting why such a beauty didn’t enter the entertainment industry—it was simply a loss for all the beauty enthusiasts in the world.

Some people even record Si Qi’s voice to use as a lullaby, saying that his clear and gentle voice was like aged fine wine, sweet and refreshing, making people blush and feel slightly tipsy, falling into a deep sleep while enjoying it.

There were still people like Zhou Qi, who had become “beneficiaries” under the high welfare policies of the state, even while being in prison. They could enjoy the best holographic technology. Every day when they clocked out of their cells, they could hear the familiar voice of Si Qi saying, “ID xxxx, you have successfully clocked in today. There are still xxxx days until your release. Please face the upcoming life positively, correct your attitude to welcome the new life, and wish you all the best.”

All the best, my ass!

Zhou Qi wished he could smash the clock-in machine in front of him. The unutterable resentment and pain surged like muddy waves from the depths of the sea, engulfing his brain. With a mournful face, he left with heavy steps under the impatient urging of his cellmates behind him, his eyes reddened with anger.

But he still had to listen to those indifferent remarks from behind: “This voice is really nice to listen to.”

“Isn’t it? It makes clocking in every day so much more enjoyable!”

“Hehe, you guys don’t know, do you? The person talking is my idol, he’s amazing at gaming! I heard he even promoted holographic technology, he’s a star in the eyes of the country, and he’s a top student! When I get out of prison, I want to study hard, turn my life around, and follow in his footsteps!”

The surrounding inmates burst into laughter, some saying he was dreaming, while others agreed with him. They all long for life after prison, wondering if it will be vastly different from their previous impressions.

“Holographic technology is out now, society must have changed a lot!”

“After the wireless internet came out, just look at how much things have changed! Food delivery, live streaming, short videos—every year there’s something new! With the advent of holographic technology, it’s going to be even more amazing. We’ve been locked up for so many years, and when we go out, we definitely won’t be able to keep up with the times.”

“Yeah, I really regret it. Why did I act impulsively and do something wrong back then? Now that we’re out, life is worse than before!”

“Exactly! Hey, people are really different. Just look at all these holographic ads everywhere lately, and the person featured in them. Tsk tsk tsk, that person is so handsome, definitely a big star, with a ton of fans… unlike us, who get looked down on when we go out, our families don’t even want to talk to us, and it’s hard to find a job!”

“What a big star! I’ve already said he’s my idol, a genius! He is valued by the country. The rapid and comprehensive promotion of these holographic technologies is all thanks to my idol! I really hope I get a chance to meet him one day; I could brag about it for a lifetime!!”

“Haha, you still want to meet him? You should take a look at yourself first!” The casual teasing words of this person pierced through Zhou Qi’s heart like a knife, making him feel utterly miserable and desperate: “People like us have no right to even be compared to him. I have to worry about whether I’m qualified enough to be a fan!”

“He’s definitely got a lot of people protecting him. Someone like us who’s been in the system would probably be flagged right away. How could we ever meet him? From now on, just do your job honestly and don’t daydream about things that aren’t going to happen!”

“Tch, I was just thinking… Can’t I just dream a little?”

Zhou Qi could no longer bear to listen to the conversation, lowered his head, quickened his pace, and fled in embarrassment, almost tripping over his own feet.

“Haha, what’s that kid up to? Did he set his butt on fire?”

“Tsk, I heard someone went to jail for framing and threatening God 7. This kid used to be a game streamer, and some people watched his game streams and knew his username… Could it be him?”

“Hehe, why don’t you go find out and see?”

The young man took this matter to heart and turned back to investigate.

Soon, it didn’t take long for the Child of the World, who was already tormented mentally, to suddenly face another stroke of bad luck.

This time, he finally experienced the pain of being maliciously targeted by others at school, feeling the helplessness and injustice of calling out to the heavens and the earth for help, only to find no response.

Truly, karma is a cycle.
