Chapter 9: A Man from Another World
He...... Always do things that people can't understand, don't they?
You can force me to sign a contract, but you have to come up with some soul card. You can forcibly take me to another world, but you have to tell me a bunch of big truths. I could have killed me, who had no fighting spirit, but he still gave me a victory that attracted everyone's attention.
I could never guess what he was going to do next, or even understand what his purpose was. That's why I always fantasize about him still being there for me, whether it's a grease figure sitting in a classroom with a grease collar, or an inconspicuous black cat yawning on a certain step, even if it's just a wisp of black smoke floating above my head...... Ye Xin, if you really leave this world, why don't you erase the six-pointed star mark on my chest.
There are two moons on the surface of the river at night, and the one in the river looks more charming, but it is more illusory and unreal than that in the night sky. I've never jumped into the river to find it, but I'm adamant that it's a mirror image of a fake. On what basis am I denying its existence, and if I do touch it one day, do I believe in the axioms that the outside world has told me, or do I feel it personally?
I wrapped my black trench coat tightly and continued to walk against the river breeze at night, thinking a lot, but I couldn't give the answer Ye Xin wanted. The six-pointed star mark on my chest was still there, and whenever I looked at the seat next to me in the class, I always felt the urge to call it, but I couldn't speak.
What is the difference between leaving this world and going to another world? I'm sorry Ye Xin, maybe I'm such a selfish person, even if I accept my fate and give up everything, I will never be able to empathize with the misery of that world. I, Bai Saddle, am a villain who can enjoy a victory that does not belong to me.
"Brother Bai...... Li Muzi grilled the fish, and everyone was waiting for you. ”
"Oh." I turned around and smiled at the girl behind me, who shyly lowered her head and turned to run in the direction of the campfire.
The smile on my lips faded, and I took out my phone and saw that the headline on the Bermuda forum was still the same: One Punch Man Completes Taekwondo Black Belt.
On the same day, Liu Xin called a few people to take Li Cheng to the hospital, and heard that he had a comminuted fracture of the tibia and fibula of his right lower leg, but no one came to me after that, and even Li Cheng's family did not ask me for compensation, but only told the school that the accident had an accident and went through the procedures for suspension. Even though it has been happening for more than a month now, I am still in a state of panic every day, afraid of retaliation from some people or challenges from other classmates. After all, only I know that the power of that punch doesn't actually belong to me.
Since that day, the relationship between the first and second years of high school has been very stiff, and there is always a feeling that a big war is about to break out. However, the more obvious this phenomenon became, the more first-year high school students flocked to me, and they all seemed to want to be sheltered at a critical moment. Every day, I enjoy the feeling of the stars holding the moon in trepidation, and I don't know whether to cry or laugh......
Su Yu sat at the bus stop, the cold wind of the night made her shiver a little, and when the last train stopped in front of her, she continued to sit without raising her head. I never thought it would make her the target of public criticism, but as time went on, she was indeed targeted collectively by the first and second years of high school. No one bothered her on the surface, but in the school, both men and women, their faces were full of disgust and disgust, and many people insulted her behind her back. Oddly enough, those who take the lead in alienating her and loathing her are often her former best friends and boys who have had a crush on her.
I couldn't figure out the logic of how this kind of thing could happen, especially the boys who used to like her...... I really wanted to protect her, but she hadn't said a word to me since that day, and even deliberately avoided me, so I made a post on the Bermuda forum to ask everyone to stop targeting her. But most of the replies to this post were "No one is going to target her!" "Brother Bai, you're so funny, who targeted her!" "How dare you target your sister-in-law, this is the woman that Brother Bai likes."
Why...... You must not have thought that I could win against Li Cheng, did you? Although it was Ye Xin who gave me superhuman abilities at that moment, in your eyes, I still relied on my own strength to win! Shouldn't the heroine of the story, after the duel, run forward to embrace the winning side?
I sat around the campfire with a group of people, eating kebabs handed to me by a certain girl, and watching the graceful dance of a certain art student in the first year of high school. The basketball spun on Li Muzi's index finger, and he was so engrossed that the basketball fell to the ground and rolled to the feet of the art student.
The art student stopped, Li Muzi turned off the stereo and ran forward, and asked the name of the art student as soon as he opened his mouth.
She said shyly, "My name is Ye Zi." ”
"Hahaha! Yezi, Muzi, we are a natural pair! Li Muzi said with a big grin, and the people around him followed suit, shouting: "Together!" Together! ”
Ye Zi kicked the basketball aside, glanced at him and said, "You still have more Li characters!" Eaten by you? With that, he went back to his seat. Li Muzi was unwilling, and shouted loudly to show his talents, and the atmosphere of the bonfire party became more active.
The noise was like a crowd of demons dancing, and suddenly my chest ached, like a needle had been pricked, and my heart was pounding like it was beating in my head.
"Brother Bai, are you okay?" It was the girl who had just called me back, and I looked at her and shook my head.
"What's your name?" I asked her.
I didn't hear what she was saying, and the noise in my ears upset me.
I stood up abruptly and roared, "It's dead! Shut up! ”
Everyone was so frightened by my sudden anger that everyone kept their mouths shut, leaving only the background music on the stereo. Li Muzi took the microphone, frowned, and turned off the stereo with a "click", and the atmosphere instantly fell into a stiff silence.
With the sound of the campfire burning the moths, my heart gradually eased a lot, and I sighed and said, "I'm sorry guys, I'm a little tired, go back." ”

Su Yu was still sitting alone on the bench at the bus stop, she sneezed, and her body began to shiver from the cold. At this moment, a cotton jacket was draped over her, and she looked up to see a well-defined face, the man standing, with only a khaki short-sleeved shirt left on his upper body, his hands in his trouser pockets, and the muscles in his arms.
"Wear it, I'm not cold." The man didn't wait for Su Yu to speak, and sat down beside her.
Su Yu still took off his jacket and put it between the two, and sat away for a distance, "Thank you, no need." ”
After about a few seconds, Su Yu got up and wanted to leave. The man also immediately stood up, looked at Su Yu's back and shouted, "Su Yu! ”
Su Yu stood still, for some reason, the man's deep voice made her feel indescribable, like a plastic bag sealing her heart, making her feel stuffy in her chest and breathless.
"I'm Lake."
"Not impressed." Su Yu's voice was very soft, she didn't know where she was going, but she wanted to escape from here strongly. Did she really know the man? Maybe it's a relative? Su Yu tried hard to recall, but she never had any relevant memories, her head hurt, and the more she thought about it, the more her head hurt......
I hate this bloody plot, a bus driving in the dark night of no one, the passengers are unusually quiet so that the driver is surprised a little distracted, when he suddenly realizes that there is a girl in the middle of the road, it is obviously a little late to step on the brakes......
Boom!!!
The driver's head was hit with blood from the windshield. Fortunately, the people in the car were wearing seat belts.
Boom!!!
There was another violent collision, and the whole bus retreated some distance as if it were in reverse gear. Lake leaned sideways to protect Su Yu, holding her with one hand and spreading out in the direction of the bus with the other.
Li Muzi shook his head, unbuckled his seat belt, squinted his eyes and looked forward carefully for a while, and said in surprise: "Su Yu?!" ”
That's right, it's Su Yu.
I immediately unbuckled my seat belt and got out of the car, and when I saw the man holding Su Yu, I unconsciously slowed down. Suddenly turned around, I found that the front of the bus was actually sunken into a human shape, and there was a deep palm print next to it.
I know that this is not something that humans can do, but after intersecting with Ye Xin, I am much more tolerant of this kind of thing.
"This ...... Is this something that humans can do!! Li Muzi, who got out of the car after me, caught up and kept looking back to make sure that the depression on the front of the car was not his dazzle.
I gradually stopped, sometimes time is so merciless, and when I laughed with my classmates, I lost the opportunity to accompany and comfort her. Whether this man from another world exists or not, it can't change the fact that Su Yu doesn't like me in the first place. What stopped me was not the dent in the bus, nor the muscles in the man's arm, but Su Yu, who was buried in his arms and clutched at his shirt with both hands.
Wait a minute!
This man is ???
My eyes widened, trembling and tentatively, "Second uncle? ”
The man glanced at me, and when I looked at him, I was sure that he was the second uncle, but the image was completely different from the second uncle who cooked in an apron every morning.
Without allowing me to confirm more, the man gently pushed Su Yu away, turned around and ran a few steps, and plunged into the woods behind the bus stop......
