New York 2006

Chapter 11 Logic
Max was furious and shouted in a deep voice: "What? You are only 16 years old, Felix, we are seven years apart! Even the Romeo and Juliet Act is not in effect. Do you know the seriousness of the matter!"

After a hearty workout and the exchange of sweat and body fluids, Luo Ji felt more trusting in Max, so he told her the truth, but Max's reaction was beyond his expectation: "Don't be angry, Max. I didn’t mean to lie to you.”

Max gritted his teeth: "You bastard, I really want to kick your ass with my boots."

"No way, if you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who will know. We cooperated so well just now. Don't you know how much you enjoyed it at the time? Don't you feel it's a pity to give up on me?" Luo Ji lifted up a corner of the quilt. ,lure.

Max lowered his head and stared, saying word by word: "Get out of here, get out of here now! Disappear in front of my eyes right away!"

"Max, what's the matter? People of this age can't communicate rationally." Luo Ji was talking when he suddenly saw Max take out a ten centimeter-long knife from under his pillow. He was shocked and his whole body was shocked. The man jumped up like a frightened rabbit and landed on the ground: "Max, are you sick? You hide a knife under the pillow while you sleep!"

"Ok!"

Luo Ji immediately gave in and with a smile on his face, he said, "Max, don't be impulsive. If you have anything to say, say it properly!"

"Get out!" Max said seriously, pointing the tip of her knife at Luo Ji.

"I'm leaving right now! Don't be impulsive. We'll call you later." The knife was quite a deterrent. Luo Ji quickly packed up his belongings and ran away without even putting on his clothes.

"I called you a bitch, I called you a bitch! I have to tell the truth." Luo Ji was walking on the road. The more he thought about it, the more he regretted it and slapped himself twice in the mouth.
Looking at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock. It was really unlucky to be kicked out. The cold wind was blowing, so Luo Ji could only wrap himself in clothes.Walk all the way to the corner in front, Max said you can get a taxi there!
"Meow meow meow"

Luo Ji listened carefully and realized that the sound was coming from the grass on the other side of the road.

"Meow meow meow."

Luo Ji followed the sound and saw a little orange cat meowing in the bushes. It looked a little thin.When the orange cat saw him, he immediately ran up to his legs and rubbed them obediently.

"Meow meow meow, meow meow meow."

Luo Ji's heart was immediately melted. He was so obedient, and he didn't mind that the orange cat was a little dirty, so he picked him up and put him in his arms.It had no nameplate on its neck and looked like a stray cat. Luo Ji immediately decided to adopt it.

He touched the bottom and found two balls. It was still a male cat: "Did you get lost with your mother, or were you abandoned by someone? From now on, you will be mine. I will call you Bob, orange cat." Bob, Bob the orange cat, it really rhymes!”

The orange cat was very intelligent and seemed very happy to hear this. It rubbed its little head against Luo Ji's chest.Luo Ji immediately responded, stroking it with his hands and turning on the cat petting mode.

"Gurulu, purrulu." The kitten meowed comfortably.

These days, Luo Ji, in addition to attending classes and occasionally harassing Max, is studying how to become an online blogger.He carefully observed Tila Tequila, the Vietnamese-American with the No. 1 subscription to Myspace. She is known as the "Madonna of MySpace."

She has posed for Playboy magazine and appeared on TV variety shows.She is also a singer, songwriter, and has formed her own band to take on jobs everywhere. Her latest blog states that she will release her music on iTunes.

It seems that there are many smart people, and many people have found ways to use new media!
Luo Ji also found a lot of interesting photos. There was a very attractive photo of a woman who styled her hair every day. She seemed to be from New York.There is a British female singer who sings British folk songs that are also very nice, but they haven’t been updated for a long time.There are many models who post photos every day, but the most successful ones are rock band Arctic Monkeys and reggaeton singer Lily Allen. They have both gone from being unknown on the Internet to becoming somewhat famous now.

But why are these people successful?rather than someone else.

After a few days of browsing, Luo Ji gradually came up with an idea.Although this is a platform where grassroots can rise, it does require some professional abilities.

For the few people in front, their videos have been specially processed whether they are moving the camera or editing, making them look particularly comfortable. The most listened to music on Myspace has also been processed by specialized post-processing personnel.The sexy photos that Tila Tequila usually posts are taken by professional photographers at first glance.

Grassroots and professional are perfectly combined in this way.

After almost exploring, Luo Ji registered his own account, Logic, on all major online new media.

Luo Ji was mistaken for Logic by others, and Logic accidentally became the nickname of his predecessor. It is highly recognizable and popular, and this nickname will be his stage name in the future.He went to Myspace, YouTube, iTunes, Msn Video, Facebook and other new media to register his own account.Luo Ji even went to Wikipedia to occupy his own entry and started editing it.

……

One day after school, Luo Ji found his former best friend: "Blake, I need you!"

"You're no longer in the choir. I haven't seen you for many days!" Blake was a little resentful.

Luo Ji immediately comforted him: "Hey, man. We are brothers. Do you need to worry about so much? Didn't you say you want to hold a party? After all this is done, I will personally hold a party for you, so that you can bring your goddess Hailey can soak it in your hand!"

Blake immediately beamed: "Dude, tell me what's going on and I'll take care of it."

"I remember we didn't have a DV for recording videos, right?"

"Yes, I put it in our secret base last time I came back."

"Okay, let's go get the DV now. I need you to help me shoot some videos later!"

Blake asked: "What video?"

"Some singing videos, you will know the details when the time comes!"

The secret base is a small rolling door-style warehouse, which contains two people's bicycles, skateboards, and some toys.Second hand DV.There are also various magazines, Reader's Digest, Time Magazine, National Geographic, and of course the most popular one is Playboy.

There is also a bed and several chairs inside. On the bed is a Sony PS2 bought by the two of them, which they usually use to play DVDs, watch movies, and play games.There is also a second-hand IBM computer for surfing the Internet.

Most of them are high-end counterfeit watches and pirated DVDs that the two use to make money.In the past, the two of them would often go to places with a dense concentration of middle-class people such as Queens in Manhattan. When they met people, they would walk up to them and mysteriously ask if they wanted a deal. It's really funny now that I think about it.

Luo Ji suddenly thought of something. He quickly looked down and saw a box lying quietly under the bed. When he opened it, he saw that it was two illegal guns bought by the two of them.

Illegal possession of firearms in New York is a felony. Luo Ji felt that the gun in his hand was very hot, so he decided to get straight to the point: "Blake, we must destroy these two guns!"

"Why? We never had any problems taking it with us to Manhattan before!"

"It's too dangerous. We are all 16 years old. If we are caught, we will probably be sent to jail. Illegal possession of a gun in New York is a felony and can be sentenced to up to 25 years. If we are caught, our lives will be over."

"I'm not afraid of cops. Let them come!"

"Blake, this is for our safety. Besides, for so many years, we have used guns to scare others, but we have never actually used them, right! After that, we buy a simulated gun, which can also scare others."

Blake is not that stupid, otherwise how could he have been safe and sound for so many years: "Okay, we will deal with these later. There is a river not far from the school, let's go and throw it away."

"Let's go now!" Luo Ji didn't want to wait for a moment.

"Ok."

The two chatted all the way, got on their bicycles, and arrived at the Hudson River near the school in less than 10 minutes.

The river is very wide, and there are people walking nearby.Luo Ji didn't hesitate. He took out the box containing the gun from his backpack and swung it hard. The box made an arc and fell into the river, causing a circle of ripples. However, it was quickly submerged as if it was nothing. Same thing happened.

That's it, it's a ritual. Say goodbye to the past and start a new life!
