Chapter 263
“Every time I remember how black he was after the explosion, I want to laugh!”
Liu Sibo covered his mouth.
Xiaoshuai: “…”
“Be serious. We’re fighting for our lives. Think about everything that made you angry. Think about how those people bullied you!”
That worked. Liu Sibo’s expression changed immediately, and his breathing grew heavier.
Just then, they saw Liu Ye stalk past them with a furious little face, then return carrying a hammer larger than his whole body.
Before leaving, he glanced at them. His face had once again become that of a soot-black kitten.
Liu Sibo: “…”
“Hahaha… I can’t! I can’t hold it in! He’s too funny! Hahaha…”
Xiaoshuai: “…”
Liu Ye: “…”
“Brother Liu, go deal with those things. Stop interfering over here.”
Hearing that, Liu Ye shouldered his hammer and left with a dark expression. Those bad people were infuriating!
“Hold it in. I’m telling you, you’re an important person outside. Laughing like this is embarrassing him!”
“I’ll hold it in! I’ll hold it in!”
“Good. Listen to me. Think of your father and what a bastard he is. Think of your mother!”
At the mention of his mother, Liu Sibo immediately became solemn. She was the one subject no one could touch!
The method worked perfectly. Liu Sibo’s eyes turned bloodred. But just as his anger began to rise, Liu Ye roared nearby.
“Aah!”
Liu Ye swung his enormous hammer so fast it became a blur, smashing the Fiends madly. Eventually, they could no longer revive as quickly as he struck and were hammered apart!
“Brother Liu, you’re incredible!”
Brother Biao and the others charged over, only for Liu Ye to instinctively swing his hammer at them.
Smack!
A few minutes later, Xiaoshuai and the others emerged through the door, bruised and swollen.
Liu Sibo clutched his heart. He could feel himself becoming increasingly different. His body had grown incredibly strong, and rage burned fiercely inside him. He seemed ready to lose control and destroy everything around him.
Even looking at Brother Biao and the others filled him with the urge to kill them immediately.
Just as he could no longer endure it and prepared to attack, a voice pulled him back.
“Brother Xiao Bo, what’s wrong?”
Liu Ye’s voice helped him suppress the rage. He smiled.
“I’m fine. Thank you.”
“Xiao Bo, am I a good child?”
Liu Ye puffed out his belly and proudly raised his head, waiting for praise.
Liu Sibo: “…”
He looked at the miserable Brother Biao and the others. He wanted to say yes, but felt it would betray his conscience.
“Mm… yes!”
“Hahaha! I really am a good child!”
Liu Ye happily walked forward.
They reached the second door, which bore the character Liver.
After opening it, they were surprised to find themselves at Huicheng High School.
“Huh? This place looks familiar!”
Liu Ye looked around. He felt he had been here before and that something pleasant had once happened here.
The pleasant feeling did not last. At the front, a teacher droned on while holding a textbook. After listening for three seconds, Liu Ye’s eyelids drooped. With a thump, he collapsed onto his desk and fell asleep.
Elsewhere, Xiaoshuai checked his phone. Upon entering, they had automatically changed into student uniforms and received phones.
“The liver governs wood and corresponds to sourness. Literally interpreted, this should be jealousy. Have you ever envied anyone?”
Liu Sibo was silent for a moment, then nodded.
“I’ve envied many people. I envied their good health and the money they had to spend. But the people I envied most were those few.”
He looked ahead. Zhao Ze and his friends were chatting happily together.
“Zhao Ze’s family was very wealthy. He always wore designer brands. One item of his clothing cost more than ten of mine. He also had such a wonderful girlfriend. So I envied him. I envied him deeply!”
Liu Sibo leaned back in his chair.
“But I don’t understand something. If this stage is supposed to make me jealous, there’s no way their current selves could do that.”
He now possessed powers beyond ordinary people’s reach. What could he not obtain? Why would he envy a few dead people?
“Zhao Ze! Your dad brought you something!”
“Coming!”
Zhao Ze headed outside.
Xiaoshuai looked through the window, which offered a clear view of the school gate. Zhao Ze walked to the entrance, where a middle-aged man handed him a phone.
Zhao Ze accepted it with a delighted smile.
“He became jealous over a phone? That makes no sense… Hm?”
Xiaoshuai suddenly noticed a shabbily dressed middle-aged woman standing beyond the school fence, staring fixedly toward the gate.
She was the only person outside and her clothing made her conspicuous.
At first he paid her no attention, but then a thought occurred to him. He immediately messaged John.
“Do you have a photo of Liu Sibo’s mother?”
John sent one at once. Xiaoshuai glanced at it and confirmed that the woman outside was indeed Liu Sibo’s mother.
“Damn. Is it really going to be that melodramatic?”
Xiaoshuai realized something. The woman’s gaze followed Zhao Ze wherever he went.
Only after Zhao Ze entered the school did she collect several bottles from a trash can and leave.
“So that’s it…”
Xiaoshuai understood what this stage was about. If he were the mastermind, he would have arranged it the same way.
He glanced at Liu Sibo, who looked back in confusion.
“What is it?”
Xiaoshuai did not answer immediately. He rubbed his head, genuinely reluctant to tell Liu Sibo.
Now he understood why the adult Liu Sibo had become that way. There were practically no good people around him.
“Xiao Bo, can you tell me about your mother?”
“Sure!”
The mention of his mother immediately brought a smile to Liu Sibo’s face.
“My mother was an extremely traditional, old-fashioned woman. She was kind, even-tempered, and endured every hardship without complaint. Whenever my father lost at cards, he went home and beat her. Even then, she never considered leaving him and silently endured it all.
“But Mom treated me very well. She denied herself food and clothing so she could spend everything on me. Our family rarely ate meat back then. After setting aside my father’s portion, she gave all the rest to me. She worked, earned, and saved as much as she could, all because she wanted to see me graduate from university, find a job, and marry.”
By the end, tears were flowing down Liu Sibo’s face.
“Brother Fei, why did such a good person have to suffer like that?”
