[Comprehensive English and American] You have to pay rent even if you are a ghost

In April 2001, shortly after the spring break, Raffaele and Phoenix, who had returned to school, received an invitation to join Skull and Bones.

Skull and Bones is a well-known elite student society at Yale University. After hundreds of years of operation, members of this secret society now occupy the power and rich class in the United States. power to its peak.

It can be said that joining the Skull and Bones is standing on a road to power.

Every year, countless Yale students break their heads and want to join Skull and Bones, but the extremely picky Skull and Bones will only select 15 students from the third grade students to join this secret organization every spring.And these new members, there is no doubt that they are all from the big families in the United States, either billionaires or high-ranking officials.

Skull and Bones has never issued membership invitations to first-year freshmen, and once issued two invitations.

Phoenix picked up the two invitations. The front of the invitation was a skull and the Arabic numeral 322, which was the mark of Skull and Bones, and their names and a time were written on the back.

Phoenix flicked the invitation letter, frowned and thought about it seriously, and then said: "I remember, Lively said, the initiation ceremony of Skull and Bones is very..." After a pause, Phoenix found a word, " Wonderful?"

Bill Lively, who was a Berkeley student with Raffaele and Phoenix, lived in the dormitory next to Raffaele and Phoenix.He has a very practical personality and has never concealed his ambition. When he chatted with Raphael and Phoenix and established a good relationship, he also expressed very bluntly that he just wanted to have more contacts.

Raffaele and Phoenix liked his attitude more than some hypocrisy.After a semester and a half, Bill Lively was one of the few people who could chat with Raffaele and Phoenix.

Bill Lively has never been afraid to let people know his ambitions for Skull and Bones, and he once described the Skull and Bones to Raffaele and Phoenix.

I am not interested in the great achievements of the members of the Skull and Bones, the only thing Phoenix remembers is the wonderful initiation ceremony of the Skull and Bones.

Putting a skull on your shoulders is not a big deal. The key is that new members not only have to wrestle naked in the mud and receive whipping, but also lie in a coffin and masturbate, and confess to the Skull and Bones Society that they have buried their deepest hearts Sexual secrets here.

Phoenix: A human with a brain problem.

With a curl of his lips, Phoenix wanted to throw the two invitations into the trash can.But when he was about to throw it, he suddenly remembered that it had his and Raphael's names on it.

Phoenix snapped his fingers, didn't even throw the trash can, and directly swallowed the two invitation letters in a ball of flames.

Only he can see Lafite's body, a group of daring humans.

Humph.

Unbeknownst to Phoenix, when these two invitations were issued, there had been three days of discussions within the Skull and Bones Society.Not only is Raffaele and Phoenix's age not in line with their usual selection criteria for new members, but also because Raffaele's family background is not enough to be a ticket to Skull and Bones.

Yes, in their view, Raffaele Harmon's family background is too low. Although they admit that he is excellent, the family background that cannot provide support for other club members makes them hesitate.On the other hand, Phoenix Langton, Raffaele Harmon's lover, his family background is in line with the usual standards of Skull and Bones.

The key point is Sabrina Brown.

Sabrina Brown, an upstart in the upper class of the United States, is a smart, capable and wealthy woman.

In this world, there are many women who can make money, but those who have the ability to keep the property they have earned are the ones that attract people's attention.And Sabrina Brown, sitting on billions of assets in just three years, seems to have started from scratch, but everyone who studies Sabrina Brown believes that there is an ancient and powerful person behind her. Her family supports her financially.

Sabrina Brown is the representative of that family.

No matter who is standing behind her, she can stand in front of everyone, elegant and noble without losing the slightest disadvantage, which has proved her own strength.

No one can open the joints on Sabrina Brown's side, and many people have turned their attention to her only relative in the face.

Phoenix Langton, a young man in his early years, a freshman at Yale, has a stable gay relationship.But judging from the normal relationship between the two of them, it was Raffaele Harmon who was in the lead.

Being able to coax a billionaire heir into obedience, Raffaele Harmon, in the eyes of the wealthy heirs of the upper class, is simply superb. I don’t know how many people are envious of him, and even secretly expressed disdain ——Little boy, hum.

It's just that they couldn't guess what the truth was even if they tried their best.

Anyway, no matter how difficult it seems to the Skull and Bones people to make this decision, neither Raffaele nor Phoenix is ​​interested in Skull and Bones.

After burning the invitation letter, Phoenix rushed to the bed and threw himself beside Raffaele, his body bouncing because of the too soft and elastic bed.

Raffaele chuckled and stretched out his long arms to hold Phoenix in his arms.

University courses can be very easy if you want to be relaxed, and you can be very busy if you want to be busy. It depends on your own choice.Raffaele and Phoenix are very strict in the selection of courses. They only choose interesting courses without squeezing their spare time, and arrange their days reasonably. They belong to the kind of people who have no future employment pressure.

Their ease is based on their being good enough.Originally, after living for tens of thousands of years, if they were no better than some teenagers, Raphael and Phoenix wouldn't have to live anymore.

Just when the two were sticking together again, there was a loud "bang" from the next room, followed by a scream that almost changed the tone: "Bill!!!"

Phoenix, who was lying on Raffaele's body and kissing Raffaele's Adam's apple, raised his head following the sound, frowning slightly.On the one hand, I regret that I forgot to install the enchantment, and the sound insulation of this student dormitory is also very poor.On the other hand, it was because of the content of the man screaming.

What happened to Bill Lively?

Raffaele patted Phoenix on the shoulder, and the two got up from the bed, adjusted their clothes before pushing the door and going out.

Bill Lively was one of the few friends they had in college. Judging from his roommate's tone, it was obvious that something had happened.

After pushing the door and going out, the other dormitories in the corridor were indeed startled, one by two opened the door and looked out curiously.

The dormitories on this floor of Berkeley College are double suites, because the school has the habit of randomly arranging dormitories based on the basic information of students before enrollment, but the data cannot prove everything, and there are always roommates who get together and are wrong.

After all, no matter how basic the student information is, the private habits of some people will not be clearly listed. There are always one or two habits that touch the opponent's thunder point.At this time, those roommates who have a bad temper need to learn to be patient.

The university will not change the dormitory for any student during the semester. The dormitory will only be adjusted at the beginning of each year, and those who want to change the dormitory need to report in advance.

Raffaele and Phoenix don't have this problem, and Bill Lively, a smart guy who is good at taking advantage of his own advantages and can make a smooth path even in the most unfavorable situation, naturally won't have any quarrel with his roommate .

In fact, Bill Lively's roommate, Eden Stanley, a computer genius, was subdued by Bill Lively when he first lived in the same dormitory, as if he regarded him as his best friend and future one's business Patner.

To make Eden Stanley, who has always been immersed in the computer world, so excited, it is obvious that something happened to Bill Lively.

Raffaele knocked the door three times.

The door opened, and it was Eden Stanley, whose frightened expression had not completely faded from his slippers. He originally wanted to pretend to be nonchalant and prevaricate the people outside the door, but he saw that it was Lafayette. Lai and Phoenix, he immediately let people into the room as if he had found an ally.

"That..." Eden Stanley, who can't speak much after leaving the computer world, walked into the room quickly and said, "Bill is not well."

Bill Lively's state is not very good, his spirit has clearly stretched to the extreme, and he is only a little bit away from collapse.

I saw Eden Stanley's desk, Bill Lively staring at the computer screen with red eyes, and a broken glass falling on the floor.His hands tightly grasped the sides of the desk, one side of the solid wood desk was even slightly dented, blood spattered on the left and right, Bill Lively's right knuckles were bloody and bloody.

Obviously, the loud noise just now was made by Bill Lively.

But as if he couldn't feel the pain, his fingers gripped the edge of the desk so hard that his nails cracked.

No wonder Eden Stanley screamed in fright just now. This guy is just a computer geek who roams in the world of codes and Transformers models. He has never seen such a bloody scene.

Over Bill Lively's shoulder, Phoenix frowned when he saw what was playing on the computer.

On the screen, with giggling laughter as the background sound, although the video is a bit blurry, it is not difficult to see that the man tied to the tree stump with a wire is suffering from great pain and torture.

Boys and girls with mosaics on their faces came to the screen with a knife in their hands, and slashed at the man's face, body, and limbs with the knife. The unrecognizable coat was covered with blood.

It is not difficult to judge from the voices coming out of the screen that not all of these half-grown teenagers want to do something to this man, but there is a voice that is encouraging them and forcing them to become his accomplices.

The torture of this man came to an abrupt end when a teenager suddenly said "she is here".

The screen flickered for a while and then turned black.

Bill Lively's eyes were red, and the gentle and elegant young man turned into a demon crawling out of hell at this moment.He gritted his teeth and roared, "Eve, where did you find this video? Did you find any others? You can tell where the scenery in the picture is, you..."

"Bill Lively!" Raffaele said suddenly, word by word: "Calm down."

Rafael's voice was not high, but the soothing voice calmed down the human being who was on the verge of collapse after Seraphim deliberately used a glimmer of glory.

Bill Lively woke up like a dream, he turned his head suddenly, his bloodshot eyes looked at the door blankly, it seemed that it took a long time to recognize Raffaele and Phoenix.He wiped his face with his hands and took a deep breath.

Phoenix frowned. He walked over, looked at the screen that had been rewound to the previous scene, and looked at the seriously injured man on the screen. It was not difficult to judge from the screen that his blood was bleeding very badly. Treat him immediately, and he would bleed to death in less than a few minutes.

"Who is he?"

Bill Lively closed his eyes forcefully. With a hoarse voice, he said slowly: "He is Steve Taylor, my sister Jenny's boyfriend. He, he..." Bill Lively's His voice was trembling, and some kind of terrible conjecture drained all his strength, "He went on a trip with Jenny a week ago, Steve wanted to take this opportunity to propose to Jenny, and he also asked me to be his adviser , chose a ring."

"I thought they were having too much fun, so they didn't bother to report to me that they were safe."

Bill Lively's expression was extremely ugly, his eyes were red, and he tried his best to hold back the tears that seemed to be falling due to the tragic tragedy, and murmured: "Jenny is the only relative I have left..."

Ten years ago, a car accident took the lives of the Lively couple. The young siblings depended on each other. Jenny Lively, who was admitted to Yale University at that time, gave up her studies and took care of Bill Lively while working. Lively.

Bill Lively was very precocious, and he set the goal of "making Jenny Lively happy" as the most important goal in life from a very early age.Ever since she was a child, even Jenny Lively, who has taken on a family prematurely, has to admit that her younger brother is probably the most worry-free child in the world.

Jenny Lively never needed to worry about his studies, because not only could he get the best grades in the school, but he could also get various scholarships and game bonuses to supplement his family.When the parents were struggling with their children, Jenny Lively, who came home from a hard day, always faced a tidy house and a specially prepared dinner for her.

Jenny Lively didn't know that after Steve Taylor appeared in her life, Bill Lively, who was still in high school at the time, and his younger brothers in high school investigated Steve Taylor for a thorough.

Although in Bill Lively's opinion, he can pick out a hundred different flaws from Steve Taylor at a glance, but they love each other, longing and determined to hold each other's hand for the rest of their lives Well, if Bill Lively had a hundred ways to mess with their relationship, he couldn't use it.

Steve Tyler was a good guy with a sense of justice, and Jenny liked him more than anything else.

Bill Lively was actually a little bit reluctant when Steve Taylor approached him to help with the wedding ring.

His sister is only 25 years old, is it time to change her last name to Taylor?

But Bill Lively could imagine how surprised Jenny would be with his eyes closed. He could only pinch his nose to help him consult the ring, even when they hadn't called or sent him a message after three days of traveling. , he just snorted sourly in his heart.

It never occurred to him that something might happen to them.

Until the fifth day, Bill Lively was a little worried. Although he was a little unwilling, he still pressed the number.

No one heard.

Whether it was Steve or Jenny, the reminder voice on the other end of the phone flatly stated that the other party was not in the service area.

Bill Lively tensed up.

For such a thing, he was naturally the first to find the police.

Bill Lively and Jenny Lively don't live in the same state because of going to college, but it's only an hour and a half drive from Worcester, Massachusetts, to New Haven, where Yale University is located. .

In fact, Bill Lively could have had more college choices, but he chose Yale because it was Jenny's unfulfilled dream.

The police received a report from Bill Lively, but they did not take the case seriously.

After all, Jenny Lively and her boyfriend, Steve Taylor, are working adults, not minors.When they go out on a trip and date, they always need a little time for the two of them. Even if they haven't contacted their brother for five days, isn't this a normal thing?

Even if it is a close sibling, it is impossible to contact each other every day, right?

Although he felt that Bill Lively was thinking too much, the police still filed a case and asked him to go back and wait for news.

Bill Lively was to blame for being able to wait. He only hated himself for being powerless and unable to use it to find Jenny at this moment.

Fortunately, he has a roommate who is a computer genius.

After Eden Stanley, who was immersed in the code world, found out about this, he took out the artificial intelligence Eve that he had been studying since junior high school and had not yet been formally tested.

In Eden Stanley's view, in the modern society with the rapid development of the Internet, no matter whether it is a satellite in the sky or a mobile phone with a GPS positioning system, as long as you have logged in, there will always be traces, and then crushing delete and clean up, there will be no traces. Able to recover under his miraculous computer technology.

Just so confident.

Confidently placating Bill Lively, Eden Stanley scanned the photos of Jenny Lively and her boyfriend Steve Tyler into the computer for Eve to analyze. placed in the network.

Although Eden Stanley is full of confidence, the artificial intelligence Eve is only in the preliminary testing stage, and there are some troubles in the science fiction doomsday novels. He has not given her the permission to self-evolve.Therefore, her progress was very slow, and it took nearly thirty hours before she returned to Eden Stanley's computer and brought back such a video.

Such a bloody and cruel video directly changed Eden Stanley's face and made Bill Lively lose control.

Although, Bill Lively kept telling himself that he was thinking too much, Jenny and Steve were both adults, and with Steve's body, what could happen!Even if it turned out that he had a big oolong, as long as Jenny was safe.

But the truth slapped him hard.

Steve Taylor was arrested by a group of minors, and his injuries were shocking. So, what about Jenny?

That voice said "here she is", that her, was that referring to Jenny?

The thought that Jenny might be hurt made Bill Lively murderous.
