Chapter 93
It took Child Fiend a long while to recover. But just as he was about to catch his breath, another flatbread was stuffed into his mouth.
Child Fiend: “…”
“Grandson, hurry up and eat. We’re going to get all his flatbreads off him!” the old woman said excitedly.
Child Fiend: “…”
What, did you come here to get revenge or something?
Before he could think any further, the flatbread in his mouth suddenly began to burn. The pain was so intense that tears streamed down his face.
Liu Ye was baffled when he saw this.
“Why’s he crying now?”
The old woman grew nervous too.
“Grandson? What’s wrong? Did it burn you?”
“No… I just… miss my mom!” Child Fiend said, wiping at his tears.
When Liu Ye heard that, his heart ached. So the kid was one of those left-behind children.
“What do your parents do?”
The old woman blinked, her mind instantly going blank. Child Fiend hadn’t designed this part for her.
Child Fiend quickly said, “Well, my mom sells flatbreads. They taste a lot like yours, so I miss her!”
“Oh. Then have some more. Think about her properly.” Liu Ye handed him several more.
Child Fiend: “…”
Why did it feel like he had just dug a pit for himself?
Fortunately, just then, the bus came to a stop.
“Huicheng Mental Hospital!”
Three people in hospital gowns climbed aboard. Their bodies were wrapped all over in bandages. After getting on, they said nothing and simply sat down at the front.
“Those three look suspicious too.”
Clever Guy felt the odds were higher that these three were Fiend. But when he looked at the child again, he realized the kid wasn’t showing any fear.
That left him puzzled. When he turned to look at the three people again, his pupils suddenly widened.
The three of them had clearly been sitting by the entrance a moment ago. But in the time it took him to turn his head, they were now sitting in the second row.
Clever Guy immediately confirmed they were Fiend. If those Fiends reached them, the consequences would be unimaginable. But how were they supposed to stop them?
He looked at the others.
They had noticed the problem too, but all of them were looking hopefully at Liu Ye. Even Baolong was doing the same, which made Clever Guy grit his teeth in anger.
Those were Fiend!
But he didn’t dare say it outright. His mind began racing.
The Fiendish World would never give them a guaranteed-death mission. There had to be a way to solve this!
By then, the Fiend had already moved to the fourth row. They were about to reach their seats.
Clever Guy suddenly thought of something.
He immediately shouted, “Sit in front of them!”
That was right. Since these Fiends kept moving backward, couldn’t they just switch seats and move in front of them?
Of course, this was still a gamble. If the Fiend could move forward too, then they would be in danger.
That was why he shouted it out-he wanted someone else to test it first.
Sure enough, the people in the fifth row were the first to lose their nerve. After all, the Fiends were almost at their seats.
The two people in the fifth row immediately stood up and ran toward the front.
As they passed the three Fiends, their bodies couldn’t help but shudder.
But they saw that the Fiend completely ignored them, letting them successfully sit in the front row.
“It worked!”
Seeing that they were safe and sound, everyone in the back grew excited and all rushed to the front to sit down.
“Bro, hurry over!” Baolong didn’t forget to call out to Liu Ye.
But Liu Ye didn’t move. One of the Fiend went straight over, then with a smack… sat right on Liu Ye’s lap.
Liu Ye: “…”
The Fiend: “…”
The two stared at each other. Then…
Smack!
Liu Ye slapped him right across the head, sending the patient sprawling to the floor.
“What the hell are you doing? Can’t you see a grown man sitting right here? I saw you lot running around up front earlier, and I didn’t even bother saying anything. Now you’re really pushing it, huh? This is a public space. Can we have a little basic decency or not? You’re not even as well-behaved as that kid. Ever since he got on, he’s been sitting there quietly and barely saying a word.”
Child Fiend: “…”
Was that because I didn’t want to talk? I nearly died after eating those giant pancakes of yours. I still haven’t recovered.
The patient got back to his feet, clutching his face. He gave Liu Ye a timid little look, then sat down behind the Child Fiend.
Watching this scene, Baolong couldn’t help sighing in admiration. As expected of Brother Liu. His actions were always so completely unexpected.
Clever Guy, meanwhile, nearly wet himself from fright. This Fiend was definitely high-level. It was probably the final boss of this bus, and Liu Ye had just beaten it up without a second thought.
“Baizhuang Station.”
The front door opened, and seven people dressed in mourning clothes got on. Their faces were deathly pale, and one of them was holding a memorial portrait, crying nonstop.
They walked to the back and found seats. Then they kept sobbing and wailing.
The sound of their crying instantly infected everyone around them. In that moment, Baolong and the others all remembered painful things, and tears began streaming down their faces against their will.
More and more tears poured out, completely beyond their control. The two girls in the team cried until their eyes swelled up like peaches, and they even started to feel waves of pain.
If this went on, they were going to cry themselves blind.
Just then, Liu Ye’s voice rang out.
“Hey, students, why are you crying? Did you fail your exams?”
The Fiends: “…”
“Listen, it’s fine if you failed. We’ll just do better next time.”
How on earth had he decided they were students?
“Come on, don’t think about it so much. Let’s sing a song.”
The Fiends: “…”
Baolong and the others: “…”
“I’ll start us off. I’ve been listening to this song lately, and it’s really catchy. Ready? Let’s all learn to oink like pigs, all together now, oink oink oink oink…”
Everyone: “…”
What kind of garbage song was this? Why did they have to learn to oink like pigs?! And even if this was the song, he wasn’t remotely on key!
But very quickly, they realized they couldn’t resist Liu Ye’s singing. Against their will, they began singing along with him.
For a time, the bus was filled with cheerful singing and laughter.
Just then, a car drove past outside. The driver glanced into the bus and saw a group of people dressed in mourning clothes singing joyfully inside.
“…”
How big did their hearts have to be? The Old Master in their family had died, and they were still singing on the bus. One look and you could tell the Old Master must have bought plenty of insurance!
Sigh. Society’s morals really did need some cleaning up. What was the world coming to?
Inside the bus, just as the song finally stopped, Liu Ye’s voice rang out again.
“Let’s all learn to bark like dogs, all together now, woof woof woof…”
Everyone else: “…”
No, seriously, could they not make some sounds that were actually human?
Only today did they truly understand what brainwashing meant. Only today did they truly understand the diversity of life.
The song looped more than twenty times. By the end, whether human or Fiend, everyone on the bus had nothing but every kind of animal noise echoing through their heads.
