Chapter 21 Exchange
As the sun sets, the orange sunlight spreads across the Xiangjiang River. A dazzling light envelopes the rows of high-rise buildings, reflecting a brilliant halo in the gaps in the glass exterior walls.
This is the most glorious and prosperous appearance of the city, which looks like warm and happy colors. However, in reality, there are inaccessible garbage alleys and dark corners covered by colorful lights.
The Internet, like a city, also has dark places that you have never been to.
The dark web is such a place.
Cheng Mo has long heard about the dark web. The disappearance of the famous Chinese female overseas student Zhang XX in 2017 was related to the dark web. The murderer Christensen was a dark web user and took a BT website on the dark web as his own.
There are various kidnapping tutorials and strategies on the spiritual home, and after Christensen studied it, Chapter XX became his prey from the virtual world to the real world.
As for the whereabouts of Zhang XX, there is a high possibility that he was sold. Human trafficking is the darkest part of the dark web.
Thinking about it makes people shudder. You must know that the darknet BT website that Christensen joined alone has five million users around the world, and this is just the tip of the iceberg of the darknet. Generally speaking, China’s darknet users
It is the least. That’s because there is a Great Wall in China. Most people always complain that the Great Wall surrounds us, but they don’t know that the Great Wall not only surrounds us, but also protects us.
Human nature, once darkness ferments and grows, it can turn into a soul-devouring monster.
Cheng Mo is not interested in the dark side of human nature, nor does he find the dark web scary. If you read enough anthropology books, you will know that human history is a history of blood-stained massacres. Needless to say, the cannibalism in the era of people drinking blood basically goes without saying.
They are all playing the trick of genocide. Neanderthals, Denisovans, Homo erectus in East Asia, and the dwarfs on the Indonesian island - these close relatives of our Homo sapiens (Note 1) are all in Homo sapiens
Extinct during the journey of global expansion.
But in fact, these "human races" are just an insignificant part of the population that were exterminated by our ancestors, Homo sapiens.
During this period, the main objects of human slaughter were animals, and a large number of animals disappeared in the long river of history in genus units during this period.
However, the killings during this period are understandable, after all, humans had not yet developed a real civilization at that time.
After the emergence of agricultural civilization, human beings began to get rid of the stage of caring for hair and drinking blood, and entered an orderly life in groups. As a result, killing became a group behavior. The birth of the country most directly proved that human beings are the dominant position in the animal world and are the real beasts.
The king, not some primate of all things.
After the formation of the country, the main enemy of mankind became mankind itself, and this kind of massacre was given a proper name - war.
Even though humans seem to be very civilized now, wearing glasses, ties, and books, in fact Homo sapiens is a very vicious and terrifying species.
You must know that the most recent genocide, the Rwandan genocide, which killed more than one million people, was only 23 years ago.
Therefore, killing is a factor deeply embedded in human genes.
Otherwise, why are almost all games themed around killing?
Cheng Mo has always believed that those who say games are spiritual YA movies should die. If it hadn't been for the birth of video games, which shifted killings from the real world to the virtual world, then World War III might have broken out long ago.
Take action if you can't talk about it - that's what human beings are, so don't take civilization too seriously.
Of course, this is not the time for Cheng Mo to worry about the fate of mankind. He himself is just a low-class person crawling around in the gaps between buildings in the city. He is not qualified to grieve for such a grand proposition as "humanity". He is currently
The concern is how to get on the damn dark web.
The biggest benefit of the Internet is that it makes knowledge cheap.
Cheng Mo searched for it and quickly mastered the skills to log into the dark web. The key was to install "Onion Routing". This thing is not available in China, but Cheng Mo has already opened a certain software. His English is good for this.
, after using Google to solve the download problem of "Onion Router", Cheng Mo was able to board this notorious underground network.
After doing all this, the sun had completely set, and there was only a large patch of light outside the window. Cheng Mo turned on the desk lamp and sat in front of the bright computer. There were black shadows of the desk lamp and computer screen on the wall, as well as his own shadow.
It is mounted on the table.
The room was extremely quiet, with only the sound of his even breathing and the soft sound of the chassis fan rotating.
At this moment, Cheng Mo's hand trembled slightly. He entered the web address bar according to the row of garbled URLs on the receipt, and then gently pressed Enter...
It was just as he imagined - the browser popped up a line of text after reading it for a long time: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. (Link error)
Cheng Mo knew that the answer could not be written openly on the receipt, but he was sure that it was a dark web address, because most dark web addresses end with the domain name "onion/" of Onion.
Cheng Mo quickly used Google to find a search engine dedicated to the dark web: Torch, and then found a navigation website Hidden Wiki similar to Hao123. It was a very simple page in the form of txt, with a black background and orange text.
There are commonly used dark web search engines, commonly used Bitcoin trading websites, those websites can purchase illegal things, etc...
Cheng Mo directly entered Silk Road 3.0 (Silk Road), the largest underground mall on the dark web. The loading page was dark, with only a black three-dimensional mask drawn with white lines in the middle, and three lines of English letters below.
, one of the rows is the link to click to enter.
The overall web page looks very gloomy. It makes people feel a little scary.
But after Cheng Mo went in, he discovered that there were only two differences between "Silk Road" and ordinary shopping websites. First, it could only be settled in Bitcoin. Without Bitcoin, it would be difficult to operate on the dark web. This is underground US currency, which is used globally.
Second, it sells many things that cannot be purchased on ordinary shopping websites, such as passports from various countries that can enter your identity information into the customs database, various guns, illegal medicine bottles, anonymous credit cards, all kinds of unimaginable videos, etc.
thing.....
But there are no vinyl records here.
If it were an ordinary person who hadn't found it to this extent, they might have collapsed, but Cheng Mo's expression became more and more serious, because he knew that the more deeply something is hidden, the more valuable it is and the more dangerous it is.
When the investigation reached this point, Cheng Mo began to wonder whether his father's death was an accident.
And what role does Li Jiting play in this?
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 whether his father had left any clues before his death. However, Cheng Mo searched carefully in his memory.
I found that the communication between father and son was so little, especially after my father went to the capital, they just checked in to report that he was safe almost every week. Other than that, there was basically no contact and they all lived their own lives.
Cheng Mo didn't want to think about what happened when he was a child. After his mother left, he lived 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, he refused to cut his hair in order to attract his father's attention. However, he grew his hair almost as long as your girl, and Cheng Yongze did not ask him to get a haircut.
So he changed his method and peed on the bed every day. However, Cheng Yongze still never took care of it and didn't even criticize him. It was only after Cheng Mo tried his best to force the sixth nanny away that Cheng Yongze came to him.
Had a conversation.
Cheng Yongze said to Cheng Mo in the messy bedroom: "When you want something, you must give enough things in exchange. Interpersonal relationships are the exchange of real interests and psychological interests between people.
, your troubles can neither provide practical benefits nor psychological benefits, so how can you get what you want?"
Seven-year-old Cheng Mo already understood the meaning of exchange at this time, because he often used money to buy snacks, but at first he always thought it was natural to ask his father for money. He asked a little confused: "Exchange?"
Cheng Yongze looked at it and nodded and said: "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, no matter it is energy
Whether it’s matter, whether it’s social systems or interpersonal relationships, they will collapse like building blocks..."
This sentence is still regarded as a golden rule by Cheng Mo. At this time, Cheng Mo discovered how deeply he had been influenced by his father in a subtle way.
Cheng Mo stopped recalling, put on his glasses and entered 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. Most of the trading areas are for purchasing various information, such as identity information, ID photos, and of course drugs and videos. As for a certain organization's killer seeking a deal, Cheng Mo thinks it's the most
It's better not to take it seriously...
After Cheng Mo registered an account, he posted a request for help on the Baiwu Tabu Forum: Bitcoin is looking for experts to teach hacking techniques.
Although all the assets at his disposal cannot afford to buy a single Bitcoin, this does not prevent him from deceiving people...

Note 1: Homo sapiens, a "species" in the genus Homo in biological classification, is a common name for all human beings on the earth today.
There are various speculations about the earliest time when Homo sapiens appeared on the earth, which is usually considered to be about 200,000 years ago. The scientific community also has inconsistent opinions on the origin location. By analyzing fossils and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), comparison
There is a convincing argument that humans originated in East Africa.
From the perspective of biological evolution, 200,000 years is only a short period of time. In this short period of time, Homo sapiens achieved jaw-dropping prosperity. From the tropics to the North and South Poles, almost all places with land in the world
