Chapter 2: Nishizawa's Grim Reaper
It's been 11 years since Homo sapiens came down and saved the planet.
It is now the 11th year of the Chu Heng Era, and Bai Lin is 17 years old this year.
What the earth was like before, Bai Lin actually didn't remember much, because he was still young and ignorant at that time.
But over the years, he has often heard many middle-aged and elderly people around him and people on the Internet mention it, and he has a general understanding.
Although the level of science and technology in the past was very poor, people sat in the well and watched the sky, did not understand anything, did not understand anything, and arrogantly thought that they were the most unique life in the universe.
But everyone was happier then than they are now.
At that time, people were busy trying to make a living and struggle for a better life.
Scientists are constantly exploring for the future of the planet.
And now, people suddenly realize their insignificance.
So small that it is not even a speck of dust in the universe.
Hard-working scientists have studied for years, and it is no less than a small piece of information that super-sapiens inadvertently revealed.
People will never go hungry or run for a living again.
Because the production efficiency has been qualitatively improved with the help of super Homo sapiens.
Now, one can survive on handouts by doing nothing.
If there is one word that best represents the lifestyle of modern people, it must be confused.
Many people don't know what to do every day, and they don't know what the point of doing that is.
The suicide rate in society as a whole is high, and people are becoming more and more impetuous, impetuous, and crazy.
Maybe the only meaningful thing that the earthlings do now may be the wisdom test and the martial arts test.
But it is difficult to pass the wisdom test and the martial arts test. Although every ordinary person can participate, if it is an ordinary person, it will definitely be eliminated.
Just three months ago, a philosopher who committed suicide by swallowing a gun wrote in his will:
"At the moment when the sun is destroyed, the earth is actually destroyed with it. In the gratitude to the super-sapiens and the shame in their hearts, the earthlings live contradictory and confused, like pigs and dogs in captivity. β
There were many countries on Earth before, and each country had something called law.
Those who hurt others pay the price under the constraints of the law.
Now there is no such thing, the criminals are arrogant, and the vigilantes maintain justice.
(Don't feel unreasonable about the repeal of the law, I'll elaborate on that later.) οΌ
In the past, monogamy accompanied each other for a lifetime, and they were in love with each other.
Today's people indulge and have fun in time.
From the beginning, most of them only exist in the stubborn older generation.
Now, it's really free.
All shackles and prisons were broken, and people were as free as livestock.
β¦β¦
Underground black boxing was originally illegal, but now it is slowly on the stage and gradually enters the public eye.
Probably due to the fact that more and more people want to seek excitement and understand the meaning of life, black boxing is even more violent and cruel than before.
In the old black boxing, the fighters had to wear gloves, and there were referees in the ring who were responsible for maintaining the rules.
And now in black boxing, boxers don't need to wear gloves, and there are no restrictions on the ring.
Even if you admit defeat, you have to be willing to save your life.
There are even some black boxing venues that are specially set up with gladiatorial arenas for fighting.
The chaebols have fun here, and the fighters burn their lives here.
β¦β¦
When Bai Lin entered the largest black boxing gym in West Mirror City, the Nishizawa Boxing Gym, he had already put on a boxing suit and a mask.
At the same time, his temperament seems to have changed significantly compared to when he was in school.
This was clearly felt by Uncle Mu, who was walking side by side with him.
Of course, it could also be because he had watched every boxing match that Bai Lin had played.
He felt that Bai Lin, who was wearing a mask, was like a real dead man.
Although the feeling is somewhat absurd.
If it weren't for the fact that he had seen Bai Lin's true appearance, he would even think that under the wide brim and skull mask was an incomparably penetrating skeleton......
I don't know who inadvertently turned around and saw them, and the people in the stadium turned their heads as if they were infected, and looked at the two of them.
To be precise, look at the boy in the skull mask.
A few minutes later, the bustling venue fell silent.
On more than a dozen peripheral boxing rings, people who were fighting to the death in the last second stopped unanimously.
Their eyes were fixed on the boy in the skull mask, and there was fear in their eyes, but more awe.
I don't know who was the first to shout:
"The Grim Reaper is back!"
The voice seemed to activate the silent people instantly.
They all shouted rhythmically:
"Death!"
"Death!"
"Death!
β¦β¦
Their voices became more and more fanatical, from the initial shouting to the later hoarse roaring, which lasted for a long time, like a brainwashing missionary ritual.
Bai Lin continued to walk forward, without the slightest expression on his face under the mask.
The crowd made way for him.
Uncle Mu bowed slightly and followed him respectfully like a waiter.
At Nishizawa, the Grim Reaper isn't just a code name, it's a belief.
Regardless of status, regardless of monetary rights.
Whether it is the chaebol off the stage, or the boxer on the stage.
As long as you're in this gym.
There is no one who does not fear death.
β¦β¦
Under everyone's gaze, Bai Lin slowly walked to the boxing ring in the center of the venue.
It's his own ring.
The square ring is tightly encased in metal mesh around it.
On the metal mesh, there was even a slight trace of red blood.
Some of these blood stains belong to him, but more of them belong to others.
He gently stroked the chains, as if nostalgic for the battle.
Uncle Mu motioned for the management to open the ring.
Bai Lin walked straight in, took off his boxing jacket, and leaned against the corner of the ring without saying a word.
Uncle Mu found a microphone out of nowhere.
He stood outside the ring, looked around at the people who were shouting feverishly, and said loudly:
"Before today's battle, everyone listen to me!"
But his words didn't seem to work, and the frenzied shouts soon overshadowed his voice.
Uncle Mu shook his head helplessly, and shouted in a higher voice:
"The day before yesterday, the people from Zhengcheng Boxing Gym came here to kick the gym, indicating that they wanted to challenge the Grim Reaper!"
"They were unsightly, arrogant, occupying the ring that belonged to the Grim Reaper, and they beat a dozen people in our stadium in a row."
"What's more, they ignored the boxers in our stadium to admit defeat and beg for mercy, and beat them to cripple or even die!"
When Uncle Mu said this, the shouts of the crowd slowly subsided, and they all began to listen to him carefully.
Some people even have some redness in their eyes.
Uncle Mu paused and continued to shout:
"We at Nishizawa Gym have always had an iron rule that we can't continue to shoot at people who beg for mercy and admit defeat."
"They trample on our iron rules and mock us!"
"They even shouted that our stadium is all cowardly waste, and none of them can really fight, and said that they will beat the Grim Reaper to their knees and beg for mercy tonight......"
Speaking of this, Uncle Mu took a deep breath and shouted angrily in a louder voice:
"We, Nishizawa Gym, can we swallow this breath?"
Uncle Mu's incendiary words echoed in the Nishizawa Boxing Gym, and the excited people responded hoarsely:
"Can't!"
"Death will knock them over!"
"They will pay the price!"
β¦β¦
"Yo, it's so lively? Is this a mobilization meeting being held? β
The sound of discord was accompanied by bursts of wanton laughter from the entrance of the Nishizawa Arena:
"Didn't bother you, did you? NaΓ―ve children. β
People looked for prestige, and the eyes under Bai Lin's mask followed.
A black man with a height of nearly two meters and sickly muscular muscles walked into the stadium as if no one was around.
He was followed by a lot of fighters and chaebols from Zhengcheng Boxing Gym.
The first impression of a black man is that he is furious, as if he were a strong, bloodthirsty beast.
Bai Lin knew through Uncle Mu that this black man was called "Black Bear", and he was the one who gave him a war post a few days ago.
Soon, the black bear group walked outside the ring where Bai Lin was.
The black bear's gaze looked at Bai Lin wantonly through the metal mesh, as if looking at some rare species, his eyes were contemptuous and arrogant.
"Is Nishizawa's boxing champion so thin?"
"You can have a 57-0 record? Are you picking generals among the lame? β
"Still called the Grim Reaper? Watching too many cartoons? β
As he spoke, he laughed maniacally again.
Uncle Mu looked at the black bear and said with a serious expression:
"Up and down the ring, please respect your opponent. We ...... Nishizawa"
"Did Lao Tzu talk to you?" The black bear said, pushing Uncle Mu away with his backhand.
Uncle Mu's sunglasses were thrown off, revealing a scarred and closed left eye.
Uncle Mu tried to squat down and pick up his sunglasses, but was stepped on by the black bear.
"Click......"
"I'm sorry O, I didn't know you were disabled." Saying this, the black bear did not have a trace of guilt in his eyes, but the corners of his mouth had an upward arc.
Inside the venue, countless people gritted their teeth and clenched their fists, staring at the tall black man, their eyes full of anger.
The black bear didn't care about these eyes at all, his eyes were a little red, and he looked at Bai Lin who was motionless in the ring again:
"My master pressed you with 300 million to lose, but you won."
"Do you think you're damned?"
Bai Lin slowly walked towards the black bear, gently pushed open the metal door that was not locked from the outside, and said lightly:
"B47 mixture, a cheap and very side effect biochemical mixture. This medicine strengthens a person's muscles in a short period of time. However, it can cause hallucinations and constantly erode people's reason, and the unconsciously red eyes are one of the side effects. β
"Am I right?"
There was not the slightest emotional fluctuation in Bai Lin's words, because he knew in his heart:
Whether it is Uncle Mu's mobilization before the game, or the provocation of the black bear a few days ago until now, it is just some simple and superficial tricks for the purpose of increasing the effect of the program.
To put it bluntly, it is just a show aimed at provoking the smell of gunpowder from the two chaebols.
In this bloody and dirty boxing ring, how can there be a truly righteous side?
Why did the black bear happen to enter the arena at this time?
And why does he have such a deep hatred for Bai Lin who he has never seen?
Is it really because of that 300 million?
Bai Lin even suspected that the black bear's action of throwing off Uncle Mu's glasses was all performed.
Because he felt that with the size of a black bear and the medicinal effect of B47, he was fully capable of easily overthrowing Uncle Mu to the ground, but he didn't do it.
Hearing the B47 mixture, the black bear's pupils suddenly constricted, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes:
"Do you know the B47? Don't you ......?"
Bai Lin shook his hand impatiently.
"If you've had enough trouble, let's get in."
"I promised someone else to go home at 10 o'clock."
"I'm running out of patience."
β¦β¦
In the ring, two people who looked like they had a huge difference in strength stood opposite each other.
The black bear's muscles are knotted and tight, and it seems to be full of explosive power, as if it were a real beast.
Compared to him, Bai Lin looked like a thin and low dwarf.
Bai Lin's skin tends to be fair, and the muscles of the whole body are well-defined, more like a pure vase-like toned body.
But no one in the stadium looked down on him because of this.
Even the arrogant black bear did not underestimate it in the slightest.
Because everyone remembers that two years ago, this skinny-looking man once fought a real wild black bear here with a weaker body than he is now......
It was at that time that he made a name for himself as the Grim Reaper.
The black bear had absolute confidence and a frenzy for battle in his eyes at this time.
And Bai Lin's eyes are hidden deep in the black sockets of the skull, which makes it difficult to see.
Here, no one is going to pick on a stab because a lot of fighters wear masks.
They may have been entrepreneurs, gang leaders, or even government officials.
Fighters have always considered it a matter of honor to smash their opponent's mask.
The black bear also longed to shatter Bai Lin's mask.
There is no referee here, and the door is closed to mean that the fight has officially begun, and the door is not closed yet.
Black Bear and Bai Lin didn't rush either.
Because they are not in a hurry. - They are patiently waiting for the rich to place their bets.
This contest between the strongest of Nishizawa City and Zheng Cheng is undoubtedly one of the most gold-attracting black boxing fights in recent years.
Whoever emerges victorious will be destined to have a lot of people get rich or bankrupt overnight tonight.
Bai Lin looked behind him and found that Uncle Mu's figure was gone.
He knew that Uncle Mu had gone to place a bet.
From his unknown nationality three years ago to the current fame of Xize, Uncle Mu only pressured him to win.
He has never disappointed Uncle Mu.
Although he knew in his heart that after today, it would be impossible for the black man in front of him to get into the ring again.
Because the side effects of the mixture he took were extremely extreme, after 10 hours, all the muscles he had strengthened would atrophy, and he was likely to die violently.
But that's none of his business.
All he needs to do is defeat the person in front of him, get the money, and go home.
