Spoiled by Eight Uncles

After an all-nighter, Cloud successfully traced an IP address starting from the internet café. He closed the system backstage, ensuring there were no traces left, and stretched his tired muscles.

“Hey, Calvin, I’m here. Sorry I’m late, there was a traffic jam,” the substitute network administrator hurriedly greeted Cloud.

Cloud smiled and reassured him, “No worries, I was just finishing up a game. Take your time.”

The substitute network administrator marveled at how friendly Calvin was and began the handover process.

“Wait, something seems off with the 25 dollars,” the substitute network administrator remarked.

Cloud nodded, “Oh, there was this guy who went crazy and paid with underworld currency to access the internet.”

He pointed to two underworld banknotes in the corner and whispered, “Have you noticed anything unusual happening in our county recently? Something that just looks abnormal at first sight?”

The substitute network administrator was scared as he saw the underworld currency!

“Well, nothing out of the ordinary…” The substitute network administrator replied nervously, “There was an elderly lady in the southern part of the city who committed suicide by jumping off a building. But that’s unfortunately not uncommon… Could she be the one who was accessing the internet last night?”

Cloud shook his head, “No, it was just a regular young man.”

The substitute network administrator pondered for a moment and added, “I did hear about a man getting hit by a bicycle the day before yesterday and being rushed to the hospital. The doctors said he couldn’t be saved… But the next day, he disappeared.”

Cloud speculated, “Could he have come to our internet café?”

substitute network administrator cautioned, “Come on, Calvin, don’t say such
