"Even scammers can't stand cold violence, hahaha!" Elliot also couldn't help but burst into laughter, laughing so hard he was doubled over.
It was fun.
Keep the act going.
Next, netizens provided some scam phone numbers.
"The number you dialed is switched off."
"The number you dialed is switched off."
...
Elliot dialed several numbers in a row, but they were all out of service.
"Beep... Beep..."
Finally, one number connected.
Elliot waited for the phone to ring three times, then hung up.
Then, he quietly waited for the scammer to call back.
Soon, forty to fifty seconds later... "Beep beep beep!" The scammer's call came through.
The netizens quieted down again, ready to watch another show.
After answering the phone, Elliot deliberately yawned, saying in a lazy voice, "Hello? Who is this?" He pretended to have just woken up, speaking indistinctly.
"Hello, Mr. Li, I am from the Azure City Court. We have a summons for you. Please receive it," a man on the other end of the phone said sternly.
"What kind of boat ticket? I don't take boats, I get seasick," Elliot replied groggily.
"It's not a boat ticket for taking a boat, it's a court summons. You are suspected of purchasing and transporting prohibited items, and the bank card under your name has been frozen. Did you hear me clearly?" The man raised his voice, speaking word by word.
"Microwave defrost," Elliot spoke indistinctly, as if still in a dream.
"What?" The man didn't hear what Elliot was saying clearly.
Or rather, he heard it clearly, but he couldn't believe his ears.
Microwave defrost, what is all this about?
"Hahahahaha!" In an office of a company, a man who looked like a manager in his thirties burst out laughing.
Realizing his laughter was too loud, the man looked up at the window. Through the blinds, he saw the employees outside were busy and hadn't heard his laughter. The man continued to watch the live stream.
"Sir, you haven't woken up yet, have you? This matter is very serious for you. Please listen carefully!" The man said in a serious tone.
"Mm," Elliot responded.
"Yesterday, the police confiscated a batch of dangerous goods that were transported through logistics. On one of the packages, there was your personal information..."
"Snore... Snore..." Elliot deliberately made snoring sounds.
"Excuse me, have you recently purchased any unidentified items or prohibited items online, sir?" the man continued to ask.
"Snore... Snore..."
"Sir? Sir? Are you still listening?" The man raised his voice.
"Mm... Ah? Listening, listening..." Elliot pretended to have just woken up.
"Were you snoring just now? Can you repeat what I just said?" the man asked.
"Mm... Microwave defrost, it's quite useful, it can defrost in one minute," Elliot said.
"Sir! Wake up! Please listen to me seriously, okay?!" The man felt like he was about to collapse.
"Oh, oh, listening, listening..."
"The police are going to arrest you now. Do you know what to do?" The man tried to use intimidation to make Elliot "take the bait".
"I'll do a backflip to evade," Elliot mumbled.
"Pfft!"
In the library, a girl wearing headphones was watching Elliot's live stream. Upon hearing this, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Feeling the strange looks from the people around her, the young girl quickly lowered her head, trying hard to suppress her laughter.
"Haha!" She still couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud again.
"Sir, are you joking with me?"
His answer was Elliot's snoring, "Snore... Snore..."
[Haha!]
[Crying with laughter!]
[Damn, that's too funny!] ...
In the live stream room, the bullet screen exploded again, and the netizens were all laughing hysterically.
"Hello? Hello?" The man shouted loudly.
"Mm."
"Are you f***ing shitting me?" The man finally couldn't hold back and swore.
"Whatever, whatever," Elliot said indifferently.
"What is your bank card password?"
"Anything is fine, anything is fine. Whatever you say it is, it is."
"You're not living anymore, are you? It's the end of the world, brother, your house is on fire!"
"Snore... Snore..."
"Truly amazing..." The man completely collapsed and hung up the phone.
"Hahahaha!" Elliot burst into loud laughter. He had been suppressing his laughter just now and almost suffered internal injuries.
"Boom—"
The live stream room was boiling.
[Hahaha!]
[I'm dying of laughter! My stomach hurts from laughing! *Covering face*]
['Boat ticket', 'Microwave action', 'Microwave defrost', 'Backflip to evade', 'Are you shitting me', 'You're not living anymore, are you'... Streamer, you are truly a 'King of Golden Phrases'! *Crying with laughter*]
[On the other end of the phone, there's another poor person who got beaten. *Crying with laughter*]
[I was scammed out of 60,000 credits by telecom fraud at the beginning of July. I hope I can get it back! *Tearful* *Tearful* *Tearful*]
[Backflip to evade, I'm dying of laughter!]
[Scammer: My mentality has collapsed!]
[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...]
[Thank you, streamer. I was in a bad mood today, but you made me feel better instantly, hahaha!]
['Microwave defrost', streamer, you know how to make things lively.]
[Streamer, are you trying to make me die of laughter so you can inherit my credit account?]
[Don't say that, I really learned a trick today. If my bank card is frozen in the future, I'll use the microwave to defrost it! *Covering face*]
[Streamer, when your first 'snoring sound' came out, I already couldn't hold back...]
[Scammer: I admit, when I asked for the bank card password at the end, there was a bit of 'taking a gamble' involved! *Covering face*]
[I feel like this scammer is probably a summer intern. *Crying with laughter*]
[Excuse me, what should I do in this situation: 'Hello, because you recharged 100 credits in the illicit software *Spicy Media*, to prevent you from being deceived, please come to the local police station to make a statement between 3:00 PM and 4:00 PM on May 14, 2024. Thank you for your cooperation and wish you a happy life! — (IP United Federation)' — So fast, telecom fraud has even gone to the United Federation? — What the hell, now even watching a video, I'm going to be scammed? *Covering face* — Brother, can I borrow your account for two days? *Covering mouth* — You are in the United Federation, what are you afraid of?! *Crying with laughter*]
...
The bullet screen in the live stream room was dense.
[Lexi sent the streamer Carnival × 1!]
[Sukru sent the streamer Rocket × 1!]
[Big Golden Retriever sent the streamer Happy Planet × 1!]
[Little Xizi sent the streamer Airplane × 1!]
[Er Ya sent the streamer Sky-Piercing Rocket × 1!]
...
Many netizens sent gifts one after another.
In the live stream room, there was a scene of jubilation.
