In the following days, the child began to suffer from insomnia frequently, or rather, poor sleep —— even sometimes, Ah Jun felt that it was better not to sleep, because he often had a very strange dream...
In the dream, he came to a strange but familiar place, and there was a gem shining toward him, so that he felt a strong, unconscious desire to reach out and touch it, but was always blocked by some force.
In addition, the place was so dark that it seemed that only Ah Jun was there —— and the stone was so beautiful that he felt a little afraid of it, so that every time he woke up with a feeling of panic. What was even more terrible was that sometimes he woke up in the middle of the night, accompanied by various physical discomforts.
Whats more, the childs feeling different every morning than before. He always feels like he doesnt have enough sleep or that he hasnt slept at all. He feels less energetic than the night before.
However, Ah Jun ultimately chose not to share this situation with his family——. In truth, the boy had been quietly bearing the burden of these circumstances for most of the time. Knowing his family had already gone to great lengths for him, he didnt want to add more burdens to their lives. He longed to tackle these challenges alone, hoping to help ease their worries a little.
This went on for a long, long time... until his new deskmate, his first real friend, and a turning point in the childs life, came along and things began to ease up.
Ah Jun remembers clearly that it was the first day of the fifth grade. In the first class —— March, the sun was shining and spring was in full bloom. It was definitely a day of transition between old and new.
Before the class began, the homeroom teacher gave a special introduction to the whole class about a transfer student from Qilin County, one of the five counties——. This new classmate was not very tall, chubby, with small eyes. He always introduced himself with a smile and spoke in a particularly engaging way that made the classmates laugh so hard they were bent over and over.
After completing the self-introduction, the new student did not wait for the head teacher to arrange a seat, but ran to the empty seat next to Ah Jun and sat down —— At this moment, Ah Jun thought that perhaps this empty seat was too conspicuous, or perhaps this new student came from another place and did not know the rules here.
Then, Ah Jun looked at the head teacher, and glanced around at the old classmates. After thinking for a moment —— while he was hesitating whether to remind the new classmate and be more careful, suddenly, a chubby little hand came out from beside him...
"Hello! Hehe, I finally see the real person..." said the new classmate with a smile: "You can call me Xiao Xi, I will be more troublesome in the future!"
Trouble? I dont think its... someone looking for me. —— Shouldnt, right?
At this moment, Ah Jun was confused by the enthusiasm of his new classmates. He was quite smart, but he was a little at a loss——. Unconsciously, he stretched out his emaciated hand to try the feeling of shaking hands, but because of his previous experience, he was hesitant and timid. His hand stopped in front of his chest and did not move forward.
At this point, he also observed the reactions of his classmates around him. As expected, there was still a little unusual look in their eyes —— but it didnt matter!
Then he turned his gaze back to the homeroom teacher, who was now nodding at him with a warm smile... Suddenly, the boy felt his hand being held by another warm hand——. Ah Jun quickly turned his head to see a new classmate. The student was smiling while holding his own hand, his small eyes sparkling with light.
"Um... Hello, my name is Jun ——. If you dont mind, you can..."
Out of politeness, Ah Jun, who was skeptical, quickly replied. Although the atmosphere was still a little awkward, he felt very comfortable inside.
"—— You know! Then I call you Ah Jun too!"
However, the new student Xiao Xis inexplicable answer made Ah Jun confused —— Who is he? However, in the following days, Ah Juns doubts were fully and completely answered.
Whats more, the new student, Xiao Xi, is a real talker. Ah Jun had been used to his student life, which was both noisy and lonely, and the old students sitting next to him were just there for grades. No one talked to him properly, or there were people yelling at him.
But the seat next to him was always empty —— Every day he came to school alone and went home alone, except for a period of time when a kitten accompanied him.
But now, you have a strange new friend who can talk and is good at talking ——? Well, maybe your deskmate!
As a result, his world was no longer lonely. Although he was not used to it yet, Ah Jun found that the new deskmate was not noisy at all, but even felt more lively. Sometimes he would study while listening to his deskmate chatting beside him, and he actually felt comfortable.
In addition, Ah Jun also learned that his deskmate Xiao Xi was the child of a wealthy family in Kylin County, but he seemed to be very easygoing and did not have any airs of a young master... By the way, this classmates surname was Duanmu and his single name was Xi.
Although Xiao Xi was gifted as a guardian, he came from a large family. His parents were in the restaurant chain business and had many branches in the five counties. His master was even the head of the clan, which showed that he was not an ordinary person.
According to Xiao Xi, his transfer was due to poor academic performance that led his master to order him here. Surprisingly, it was arranged through the mediation of two clan elders——. However, when asked why Ah Jun was involved, Xiao Xis explanation became vague, suggesting even he might not know the truth behind this situation. This case might prove that "one becomes like those they associate with"...
However, no matter what the premise is, Ah Jun thinks this seems to be a good thing. After all, he has been happy in the next few days, and even feels better at night. It is the second time in three years that he has improved his condition.
Yet the child remained acutely aware of his predicament, now facing his longtime rival. He consciously maintained a subtle distance from his desk mate. Little Xi, however, seemed oblivious to the situation. Following Ah Jun around like a twin ——, he ate, attended classes, and even used the restroom together. After school, he would deliberately walk home with him before taking the bus back.
Xiao Xi resides in the citys finest hotel, accompanied by dedicated bodyguards and a personal butler – though his route home is the exact opposite of Ah Juns. Ah Jun feels a twinge of envy, not for the luxury amenities, but because he imagines Xiao Xis parents must dote on their child —— though, of course, his own family is equally loving.
After enjoying a fulfilling school life, Ah Juns spirits kept rising. Yet he knew it was crucial to maintain proper boundaries with new friends, at least keeping a healthy distance——. He understood that anyone connected to him would inevitably suffer some form of emotional impact. So Ah Jun simply couldnt bear to see any friend go through this pain just because of him.
After all, he has been here for a long time, and everyone agrees that he is the only "star of disaster" in the main city —— Of course, this is not a self-mockery by Ah Jun, but a so-called myth about him, and of course, something even worse.
The new deskmate, Xiao Xi, must not have realized or known this point. I think he will automatically stay away after knowing it, so that he can avoid having to go through the trouble of refusing the other one as before. Friend?
"Ajun!"
However, one day after school, a familiar voice suddenly rang out. Ah Jun had just rushed to the school gate, out of breath, ready to slip away while Xiao Xi went to the bathroom—— But then, a senior student suddenly appeared and blocked his path. The man was tall and muscular, with a big belly.
"Yo... I havent seen you in a long time!"
"Um!"
However, Ah Jun did not resist the shock, but was still a little hesitant —— he seemed to know this person, but did not want to talk, and was ready to say something casually before running away.
" good-bye !"
"Ajun, wait for me..."
After saying that, Ah Jun took a quick step and ran away... At the same time, Xiao Xi in the distance followed him, out of breath —— He had shouted several times, but Ah Jun did not hear him, and kept running away quickly until he disappeared.
Then, the freshman began to look at Xiao Xi carefully with a gratified look. Then, with a determined look, he stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, my name is pudding, a friend of Ah Jun! How do you call you?"
Because the other side said it with such certainty, Xiao Xi could not help but have a little difficulty. After all, he had never heard Ah Jun mention that he had other friends, nor had he seen...
"Um, hello, call me Xiao Xi," but as everyone was a child, Xiao Xi replied politely and promptly.
"He... its not that he doesnt want to be your friend, hes just afraid of ——." But at this moment, pudding looked at Ah Juns departing back, sighed and turned to Xiao Xi, saying: "Ah Jun is too good at thinking for others, he even forgot that he is just a child like us."
"Scared? What is he afraid of?"
Then, Xiao Xi also turned to look at Ah Jun, asking in doubt: "Ah Jun, he is so good at his studies, what is there to worry about?"
He was afraid of involving us!
Budding looked at Ah Jun again and said helplessly, "—— The pressure he is under may be beyond your imagination, and the pressure that children who should not be our age should face."
"—— implicate ?"
Xiao Xi still couldnt understand —— Ah Jun hadnt done anything wrong. On the contrary, he was very upright—helping his teacher manage his studies, offering academic support during exams, and never cheating on tests. He only encouraged Xiao Xi to improve through personal effort... This made Xiao Xi realize Ah Jun wasnt bad at all. While being strict was for his own good, Xiao Xi found it completely acceptable. Why would anyone think there was any obligation to involve him?
"Well, maybe thats why hes so resistant and so distant from you and me..."
But Biding looked like he understood Ah Jun, and his words sounded like those of an old friend who had known each other for years.
"You? Me? Well, you say youre his friend, but Ive never seen you before?" asked Xiao Xi curiously.
"Im a year older than you, so I dont see each other very often. And after that incident, Ah Jun deliberately distanced himself from me, so we rarely see each other. Its no wonder you dont know."
"Event... what happened, what exactly happened?"
"Thats a long way to go..."
"—— No, just say it. Maybe I can find a breakthrough. Maybe I can become Ah Juns first good friend. Thats one of the reasons I came here!"
"The first —— cough! Actually, it should be the second. Ok —— well, okay!"
Xiao Xis words surprised pudding a little. He did not expect that someone would transfer to school just for Ah Jun——. He had tried many methods before, but none of them changed Ah Juns persistence... Would this chubby boy work?
—— However, it seems that the child in front of pudding may be able to do so this time, after all, he also hopes that someone can help them break the ice.
So the two new friends, one tall and one fat, began to talk with great interest in the sunset, and even after dark they were still talking, so that the bodyguards stood sore.
And this went on until, after Xiao Xis butler came...
The conversation had shifted from the school gate to a luxury hotel—— The two children, like old friends, continued their chat over an extravagant buffet... With endless desserts, teas, and main courses available, Budi realized he hadnt indulged in such lavish feasts for ages. Yet the familys financial struggles made him genuinely nostalgic about those moments.
—— Hmm, this Xiao Xi is really not ordinary, rich and willful, and very self-accommodating!
Then, at dinner time, Biding told Xiao Xi that in fact, there had been a good friend when Ah Jun was in the third grade. However, a year ago, due to some reasons, she had to transfer to a school in Zhebei City.
At that time, pudding and Ah Jun were not very familiar with each other, and there was even a little friction.
In the past, Biding was a problem student. Although he was good at martial arts, he did not like to study, his grades were poor and he often skipped classes. He always hung out with a group of younger brothers in the same class and grade and in the lower grades. He either played games or helped the rich to do good deeds.
However, although most of puddings brothers did not do well in school, they were all loyal, did things openly, usually chose their tasks, and never bullied the weak.
Buddings gang had another base, but it was a small space. As the team grew, budding, as the leader, felt that he should give them a bigger and better place.
After all, when they have parties or play games, the place gets crowded, and they get reported and scolded by their neighbors, even several times to school teachers.
This gave Bidings teacher a headache, and he had to invite the parents to talk at school. The next day, Biding would have a bruised nose and a swollen face, but that still didnt stop him from getting a zero and leading the team.
In contrast, Ah Jun is a top student in the school. He always gets full marks in exams. Teachers always take Ah Jun as an example to educate him. For this reason, pudding is very dissatisfied —— Whats the use of learning well? It cant be eaten for meals. A nerds cant learn more than one skill.
—— Oh, yes, I like you! But this sounds familiar to me?
After all, the puddings dream was to grow up to be a great general who could wield martial prowess and lead troops into battle. And he knew Ah Jun was just that skinny, studious kid everyone looked down on—what was there for him to learn?
Of course, Biding would think so because at that time, he had no interaction with Ah Jun and did not know his true experiences. After all, they were not from the same grade. —— Until one day...
For a long time before the third grade, Ah Jun was able to go to school with the kitten, but the crowd could not stand the constant protests, and the school had to cancel the privilege.
After this incident, Ah Juns mental state returned to its original state. His inner turmoil and physical restlessness returned, and his sleep became restless again. One day after the third grade started, a young rich kid from one grade level below Biding approached him again, proposing a deal——Biding knew this kid had always disliked Ah Jun and was particularly eager to find someone to teach a lesson.
The little rich boy was very generous. He promised that if pudding could help him realize his dream this time, he would provide a base for puddings team in a spacious and luxurious place that would not disturb the neighbors, and give puddings team another new game console, similar to the one Ah Jun is using now.
As for the fact that this man is rich, as we all know, he has everything except a pair of Ah Juns glasses, because they are specially made and can not be bought even with money.
Budin had rejected him many times before. After all, Ah Jun was a poor man in his eyes and did no harm. Why should he be bullied when he was so weak?
Moreover, Biding has always been annoyed by this little money-grubber. Relying on his familys wealth and power, he formed cliques in school to dominate the campus, making everyone seem to have to submit to him. Although he does have the means and strength, it seems he lacks real skills—just knows how to throw money around at every turn.
However, this time the teams base problem made pudding hesitate, after all, the offer of the little rich man was very attractive, and his brother next to him, while listening, also encouraged him. Finally, pudding wavered.
Then the young rich boy told him that he had taught Ah Jun a lesson to stand up for justice. This guy looked good but was actually arrogant —— His henchmen tried to help him out, but failed to provoke him several times. He even got beaten up by Ah Jun once, and once he was so scared that he wet his pants.
Hearing this, pudding turned coldly and smiled maliciously —— Such a weak brother! But it seems that the guy is hiding something...
After a long time of consideration, he finally accepted the order for the benefit of the team —— However, he knew that he would stop at the right place and not hurt anyone, and that he would find an opportunity to scare them...
—— However, this decision, after all, led to a big mistake!
In the following days, Biding sent his men to keep an eye on Ah Jun, but he never found a good opportunity. After all, in school, the teacher kept a close watch on him, and after school, Ah Jun always acted mysteriously, as if he were hiding something, leaving them confused and unable to find anyone.
So, one day after school, pudding couldnt resist and took his team to look for someone —— but he himself followed, and failed —— I told you, this guy belongs to rats!
Just as Biding was helpless and hesitating to withdraw his troops, a young man scouting ahead came back with good news. He found that there was a "star of disaster" nearby, facing off against a group of girls in a small alley!
"Hum! Little boy, where do you think youre going... and bully girls!"
Bu Ding gave a cold laugh. Now he had a good reason, so he immediately ordered the army to continue to move forward —— but it took him half a day to get there, and his head was dizzy... Then, when he walked in to see the situation.
—— Mom, thats not an ordinary girl. Its the team leader who is a year older than him and has better martial arts skills than him. Its the famous female army "Jiu"!
This was a bit awkward... So, he immediately gave the scout a headbutt —— The Buns team was relatively well-known at school, but this female squad was even more formidable. Though also troublemakers, they lacked nothing else and were hard to provoke. How did this guy get into such a situation with them?
At this moment, the sensible pudding immediately raised his hand to signal everyone to stop, and then hid in the distance to observe carefully —— there was another girl lying on the ground crying, and Ah Jun was standing in the middle.
It seems that the boy wants to save the beauty with a hero —— The girl looked very weak, her expression looked very anxious, and she kept staring at Ah Juns back, as if she saw a savior.
However, pudding smiled coldly again, with a look of triumph on his face —— because he knew the girl, who had transferred to the school at the beginning of the semester, a fifth grader, an "outsider" guardian.
The girls unique status created a complex dynamic. While her mother was an ordinary citizen, her fathers guardianship meant their children were barred from attending the school. For the guardians—especially those from prominent clans—the institution focused on nurturing pure-blooded guardians, and admitting such "outsiders" like the girl would tarnish their reputation. These children were often labeled as "half-bred," making them unpopular among peers and vulnerable to bullying.
—— It was like searching high and low for a place to find it, but now the opportunity came. Two weirdos together, no need to look for trouble or go through the trouble... Biding smiled thoughtfully, then firmly lifted his head, whispered orders to his men to be careful, and led the team to approach carefully.
"Ouch, how lucky! Sister Hong!" Then he cautiously walked up to the leader of the women and greeted her respectfully but with dignity.
"Um? Oh... you little boy!"
However, they saw the old woman gasping for breath, staring at the girl behind Ah Jun, glancing at pudding, and answering indifferently.
"—— We happen to be passing by here. What can we do for you? Please tell us!" Biding looked at Ah Jun and asked maliciously.
"Youre here for this boy, are you?" But the leader of the group seemed to see through puddings thoughts at once and asked politely.
—— Isnt that too direct? How does she know what Im thinking... When asked this, pudding didnt understand how to respond.
"Hey —— this guy is a real troublemaker! He just talks without acting, always preaching about real men dont fight with women and spouting all these Confucian phrases like zhi hu zhe ye and ren yi de (righteousness). Weve been talking him through this for hours—our mouths are parched. If we say something, he wont buy it; if we act, —— well, forget it!"
Then, Biding saw that the leader of the mighty female army suddenly shook his head and began to complain, with a helpless face. This also puzzled Biding, so he immediately asked his brother to bring him drinks.
"Since youre here for him, Ill do you a favor by giving it to you —— You little brat, dont think youve found a backer. Watch your step next time! Lets go!"
However, the female leader did not give pudding time to react, and generously handed Ah Jun... to him? Then, with a sidelong glance at Ah Jun, she made a fierce gesture at the girl and waved her hand to call everyone away.
Soon, in the alley, only pudding and his friends stood there wondering... They were really puzzled. He looked at the depressed legion of women leaving, wondering how they could give up so easily?
—— Well, forget it. The opportunity has come, but you have to seize it quickly.
Thinking that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Biding turned around and prepared to act, but saw Ah Jun calmly picking up the girl who had fallen on the ground, without even looking at them.
At this point, the girl was no longer crying, but she looked at Ah Jun with gratitude and smiled while wiping her tears with her hands. Ah Jun also smiled and took out the paper towels he carried with him and handed them to her to wipe her tears —— This boy, he still smiles?
This picture really puzzled Biding, who had seen Ah Jun several times before, each time with a bitter face or an angry look.
"Hey! You little boy, its no big deal to be our boss!" Just as Biding was thinking about how to carry out the next plan, a little brother in the gang must have been unable to stand it and actually stood up to challenge him.
"—— What! You want to keep going?"
However, after steadying the girl, Ah Jun suddenly turned around and put her in his back, shouting —— At this moment, Biding noticed that Ah Juns voice was a little hoarse and his hands and feet were shaking.
—— Come on, what kind of hero saving beauty seems to be an act!
"Me, you... boss, do you continue?" Then, when A-Jun gave a whistle to Bidings little brother, he was a little stunned and involuntarily stepped back two steps and asked.
By this time, Biding had reached the front of the line. He patted his brother on the shoulder, gave him a chestnut, and responded to Ah Jun with a swagger.
"You little brat, you are so arrogant..."
"—— Why do you say that? We dont seem to know each other, and we have no grudge. How can we be arrogant? If there is nothing else, we will take our leave! She needs treatment!"
Under the pressure, Ah Jun chose silence instead of turning on his diss. He began to carefully support the girl as they prepared to leave ——, but were instantly surrounded by Buding and others. At this moment, Ah Jun desperately wanted to end this predicament quickly, because he knew his body was about to collapse.
"Going? Where do you want to go? I havent even finished speaking! Heroes are not so easy to be!" Then pudding instructed his brothers to continue to provoke, but Ah Jun did not show any sign of giving in.
The previously quiet area had now become a bustling scene, drawn by the commotion from the womens teams earlier clash. Normally, when children fought here, adults would intervene to prevent escalation. But when everyone saw Ah Jun, things took a different turn.
Gradually, more and more people came. Ah Jun, the child holding the girls hand, could not find a breakthrough. Then the force of verbal attacks grew louder and louder, all of which were directed at Ah Jun.
But now Ah Jun was relieved that at least the girl was safe. He continued to protect her and fight, even though he was weak and his symptoms had begun to return.
The girl looked around in surprise, then turned to Ah Jun. She thought it was strange that someone else was even more pitiful than herself... Then she began to gather up courage and stood up, ready to face Ah Jun together, but did not know which direction to go, because there was no lack of audience in any direction.
In this way, the two children, without any communication with each other, were sharing the pressure by sticking their backs to each other. At this moment, they had already changed from strangers to comrades in arms... However, pudding was in a little trouble now. He had wanted to scare them off simply, but the result of this scene was a bit big.
After all, he knew that Ah Jun was very popular in the hearts of everyone, but he did not know how much he cared, so much that he even cared less about the illegitimate child, which made him a little dilemma.
—— Hi, this guy just needs to give in, why be so stubborn, give me a step down and hell be let off, but now its a little difficult to let him go.
" Oh !"
Suddenly, there was a loud cry. At some unknown time and for some unknown reason, one of puddings small brothers with strange bones suddenly threw himself into Ah Jun and the girl!
With no other choice, Ah Jun resorted to self-defense and pushed the boy into the ground with a palm strike. Still just kids, the boy fell flat on his face and burst into tears. As the leader, Ah Jun was furious——. Yet, observing Ah Juns skills, he secretly admired the boys abilities—though still a bit lacking compared to his own.
Then, the henchmen around Butting and the crowd, seeing this, began to jeer and accuse Ah Jun of assaulting others. This forced Butting to seek justice for his incompetent and troublemaking henchmen. Suddenly, he stepped forward, ready to spar with Ah Jun while giving him a lecture in the process.
However, as a result of the younger brothers pudding, Ah Juns condition seemed to get worse —— he felt numb and trembling all over, his consciousness began to blur, and he felt a force surging out of his body, as if there was another voice talking to him.
But in order to protect the people around him, he tried his best to support himself and face pudding to prepare for the attack. Meanwhile, the people around him were already waiting to watch the play... ticket sellers sold tickets, gamblers gambled, and what was more irritating was that some even ate melons, while others prepared eggs and cabbage to support them
"Ah ha, you ragged child, you have no education in your family... cant you fight!"
"Right —— right, you little bus, your parents —— hum, didnt teach you to respect the old and love the young?"
"Hey, I said, dont think you can bully people just because someones backing you up! There are some things weve put up with you for a long time. If we hadnt been afraid to say it, wed have..."
"—— Yes, we are afraid of..."
"—— Come on, are we afraid? Dont bring up the next pot that hasnt been opened —— Ah! Anyway, because of you, this city is becoming more and more unstable. What a mess! Look at how everyone has been worn out day by day..."
"My eldest brother works in the guard team and hasnt had a rest for several days ——555. Do you know, you little brat, that you just want to run wild here and bully us who are unarmed and honest... Your family is just the same, huh?"
"Hum! The whole city revolves around you every day. Isnt that interesting? Who do you think you are? You, dont stay with us. Go as far as you can!"
"Right! People say... is it a伐?"
...
For the rest of the day, a large group of people were talking to a poor child, one after another, and it was quite enjoyable, just like a criticism meeting, and Ah Jun was the target of everyones attention!
As usual, the boy let them talk. He had heard it all anyway, and he had earplugs in his —— but today, Ah Juns earplugs seemed to have suddenly failed, and the words poured into his mind like a funnel.
—— You can say whatever you want about me, but you must not say anything about my family! At this moment, Ah Juns heart roared angrily, but he could no longer shout. His throat seemed to be strangled by something, and only his spiritual energy was supporting his body.
A second, a minute, a moment... Time ticks away, and Ah Juns inner world is undergoing constant transformation as it flows. Perhaps he has reached his limit... Yet in truth, Ah Jun has gradually lost his sense of self. His heart is being filled with a force brimming with hatred... It feels like a door is closing before his eyes.
Meanwhile, pudding, who was waiting for the opportunity in front of Ah Jun, looked at him and felt a bit strange. He wondered if he had gone too far ——. What was this about face or no face? Maybe he should just give up? This was going to...
But this was not something pudding could just slip away from —— As the crowd was so vocal, he thought it would be no problem to fight a child... so everyone urged him to keep trying.
Just as Biding hesitated, he suddenly noticed that Ah Juns body was undergoing a strange transformation——. A jet-black mist began to envelop Ah Jun, thickening as it gathered around him. Then, flashes of light flickered across his forehead, but they quickly vanished like a burnt-out bulb, leaving no trace
This bright light, Buidin recognized, was exactly what he had been trying to achieve —— open the Impatiens Seal.
Gradually, Ah Juns eyes also began to show strange expressions —— the look in his eyes was very terrible... When Butin saw Ah Jun like this, he quickly stepped back, not knowing what to do for a moment, feeling that the matter was really getting bigger!
"You —— shut me —— up!"
Until Biding heard a loud shout, and then saw the black mist being absorbed by Ah Jun, and then emanating from his body, like a spray covering the surface of Ah Jun, and vaguely visible, that layer was wrapped around a weak body.
At this time, the girl who was originally beside Ah Jun seemed to be a little frightened, her eyes were vacant —— but she still stood there and did not run away. With sympathetic and unyielding eyes, she looked carefully at the boy who had been forced into such a position in order to protect herself, and kept shaking her head.
But Ah Juns eyes, which were glowing red, stared straight ahead, as if he had poured all his anger into his opponent.
Though others saw Ah Jun still protecting the girl, no one knew he was losing all consciousness at that moment. That roar was the childs last act of self-expression —— As for his current state, he had become the monster everyone had longed for—a creature they all expected to see come to life.
"Quick —— Come and see, the disaster is in full view!"
"Ooh! Its a —— freak! It must be one of those freaks. Call the police..."
"—— Hmm! Everyone be careful... this kid has been acting weird since he was a kid, and now hes losing his mind. Be careful not to get hurt by him!"
...
—— ——... back to you, are you all —— satisfied?
So the discerning viewers, while continuing to clamor, kept retreating a few steps to keep a safe distance from the monster, and continued to bombard —— They thought the truth had finally been found, and that all these years of suffering had been reversed, which was really gratifying.
However, when facing Ah Juns pudding, I suddenly realized these people were truly not overreacting. The ones he was eyeing werent them—it was me! —— What could I do? I might really be no match, unsure if I could hold my own. This kid must have been hiding such massive secrets all along! How dare I underestimate him!
The next moment, Ah Jun is ready to attack, and the other side of pudding is both excited and afraid —— he puffs up his belly, sets up his position, and tries to receive the attack...
