Chapter 42 - Arc 2: Chapter 5

Lied to him? Tricked him?

Lin Yuan tilted his head in confusion and still didn't quite understand the situation.

"Fu Cheng, do you mean you lied to me when you said you would teach me over the summer? Did you trick me when you bought me milk tea?"

Even if the milk tea wasn't a reward for the exam, where did he trick him?

Fu Cheng sneered. He was clear about his own dark personality. His heart was sick and ugly, as if it was born bathed in evil. Once he took off his disguise, his rotten roots were clearly visible.

"Fool, you don't even understand how I bullied you. Isn't it uncomfortable to drink hot milk tea in this weather?"

Lin Yuan thought it was okay. It was a little warm, but the milk tea was sweet and delicious: "Fu Cheng, even if you bullied me, I thought the milk tea was delicious, so I'm not angry. But don't be like this next time, this is not right."

Saying this, Lin Yuan was actually pretending a little. He pretended to be well-behaved and not angry. After all, Fu Cheng was his mission target and had 99.99% blackening value. He didn't dare set off this time ticking bomb.

Fu Cheng felt like he'd punched cotton. The other party was too soft.

"Young master Lin, I already played with you like this and you're not angry? You're not going to use your background to get revenge? If you want revenge, it would be really easy, I wouldn't even have the chance to fight back." Fu Cheng said deliberately.

Before, Fu Cheng was putting up with Lin Yuan because he was worried about the other party's family. Actually, not worried per say, but more troubled that Lin Yuan would be an obstacle to his revenge plan and cause an unpredictable accident.

For the first time, Fu Cheng couldn't help but reveal his dark essence, so that the simple young master could see his own evil nature.

Now Fu Cheng regretted it a little. Lin Yuan was too easy to bully, and he couldn't restrain his malice and urge to hurt the other party.

Hearing this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but complain a little: "I'm… I'm actually a tiny bit angry, only a tiny bit..." He held up a centimeter of distance between his fingers to show Fu Cheng. He looked at Fu Cheng's dark and beautiful eyes through the screen and whispered: "I was really happy when you bought me milk tea to reward me. Who knew you lied to me? Of course, I'm a little bit angry."

He also had a temper, humph.

Fu Cheng quietly looked at the soft Lin Yuan with eyes as deep as the ocean. He picked up a cigarette box from the table and took out a cigarette stick and lit it up.

A cluster of flames jumped out, illuminating his face. A thin trail of smoke formed over the red sparks, creating a halo under the yellow light.

Fu Cheng didn't say anything, and Lin Yuan stayed quiet. Lin Yuan looked at the teenager on the screen and inexplicably felt that the other party was lonely.

He recalled Fu Cheng's life in the plot. Before Fu Cheng could grow up, his will to live had already withered away and he died.

The silence between them amplified. Fu Cheng slowly smoked his cigarette, but he still felt his irritation grow. He pressed the butt on the desk and threw it aside.

He looked at Lin Yuan with gloomy eyes. His voice had no temperature, like a dead, cold machine: "Lin Yuan, I don't want to see you again. You're really annoying. Really, really annoying..."

Fu Cheng had never said something like this to anyone. In his short life, he had always worn a mask of perfection in front of other people.

He needed to make everyone believe that he was excellent. Such that when he changed, people would notice and think that something was wrong.

To call someone annoying, or even exude malice in such a way was the first time for Fu Cheng.

Lin Yuan was ready to interrupt, but then the system prompt beeped.

[Di! Congrats host, the villain's blackening value has decreased to 99%.]

"Don't appear in front of me again, I don't want to see you..."

[Di! Congrats host, the villain's blackening value has decreased to 98%.]

Lin Yuan looked at the decreasing blackening value and then looked at Fu Cheng in shock. He had been in this world for about a month, and Fu Cheng's blackening value had never moved the entire time, like it was dead.

Who would've thought that the blackening value would suddenly come to life and move twice. It seemed like Fu Cheng really hated himself.

But if he didn't approach Fu Cheng, what about the blackening value?

Lin Yuan had a headache. He scratched his curly brown hair.

After thinking seriously for a while, Lin Yuan decided to follow Fu Cheng's wishes: "I…..then I will try to not appear in front of you?"

When Fu Cheng heard this, his irritation didn't decrease. But he still rationally said that this was for the best.

He was destined to live like an evil ghost from hell. But Lin Yuan was born to a happy family, and had a bright and stable future waiting for him. They were not people of the same world.

Now that the bridge of connection was broken, the ghost would return to the underworld, and the teenager would go back to the world of the living.

After hanging up the phone, Fu Cheng lit another cigarette. He didn't particularly like to smoke, he just learned to do this from other gangsters to act like a delinquent.

But at this time, Fu Cheng felt like he needed the smell of smoke to erase the feelings brought by the teenager. He had to forget them before it was too late.

Lin Yuan had never experienced summer vacation. But because he wanted to become a good student, he was working hard to make up the material every day instead of playing like other people. Anyways, he wasn't interested in playing.

Lin Yuan's parents felt that their youngest son was different from normal. Something was very strange, and they hurriedly inquired with their eldest son: "What's up with your younger brother? Is he working hard because he wants something? Tell him that if he wants something he can just say it. We don't hold high expectations for his studies as long as he doesn't do bad things."

Lin Yue: "..."

Really worthy of being their biological father and mother.

Lin Yue said with a little helplessness: "Dad, mom, it's not like that. Ah Yuan has matured a lot. His teachers have said that he puts a lot of effort into his studies."

Lin Father and Mother didn't believe it. But after observing for a month, they found that their family's Ah Yuan really was just studying hard.

Throughout the summer, Fu Cheng was irritable and crazy like never before. He was covered in double edged sharp thorns, hurting others and himself.

During a summer rainstorm, under dark clouds, thunder, and lightning, the city was covered in layers of haze and fog. The coat of white paint on the old buildings on Han Shan road were peeling off bit by bit, revealing the moldy interior. Han Shan road was narrow and cramped, illuminated by old street lamps. There were various small advertisements for renting houses and the ink was dripping off.

In a dark alley, even amongst the sound of rain battering against the buildings, the sound of fists hitting flesh would be heard.

"Damn it! Fu Cheng, you're a crazy dog!"

Seven or eight people surrounded a thin teenager, but they couldn't do much and instead suffered a lot.

After an unknown amount of time, the fighting movements lessened. One of the people held a knife, and the blood on it was instantly washed away from the rain. Messy footsteps scampered away, followed by complete silence.

Fu Cheng fell to the ground with his hands pressed on his abdomen. Blood surged in his throat and made him feel sick.

The pain of his body, the wetness from the rain, and the smell of blood combined into the pressure of death. The rain came down heavier and heavier.

During this summer day, Fu Cheng felt an indescribable chill from the city that condensed into this small alley.

Is he going to die?

Fu Cheng coldly chuckled in his heart. If he died, he died. No one would know, and no one would care.

Once he died today, tomorrow, he would be completely forgotten by this world.

In his room, Lin Yuan was doing a test paper when the red warning light of the system flashed suddenly.

[Di Di!! Attention host!! The villain's vital signs are low, and his life is in danger. According to the system, there is a 50% chance of failure of the task. Attention host...]

Lin Yuan was shocked and jumped out of his chair and ran out in horror.

This had never happened in the plot and he didn't know what had happened to Fu Cheng such that Fu Cheng's life was in danger.

Normally, the system will not let the host see the target's location, but the situation was urgent. 521, who wanted to be number 1, couldn't accept the possibility of the task failing after only three months and directly opened the location tracker.

A car parked in a dilapidated neighborhood and Lin Yuan opened the door and rushed out into the heavy rain.

He was drenched and cold and he couldn't see clearly in front of him, but the flashing red dot on the map was extremely vivid.

Finally, Lin Yuan arrived at the entrance of the alley and he saw a thin figure lying on the ground.

Lin Yuan ran over and held Fu Cheng in his arms. His hands cupped Fu Cheng's face and felt a bone-numbing coldness.

"Fu Cheng!"

Lin Yuan hurriedly took out his phone and called the ambulance, and then went to check on Fu Cheng's body with trembling fingers. There was a bloody wound on the other's abdomen, and Lin Yuan could faintly perceive a sense of death and defeat from the other.

"Fu Cheng!!"
