Chapter 331 (Catching Bugs)
Yun Mian followed Cheng Mu into the car. They both sat in the back seat, but their eyes were all looking at the shabby tricycle that was weaving through the traffic not far ahead.
There were two people sitting in the tricycle.
Yunmian saw that her grandmother carefully used her clothes to cover her mother's face so that the strange glances from passers-by would not fall on her mother's eyes.
"Master, keep following them." Cheng Mu knocked on the back of the driver's seat in front of him and handed him a banknote.
The driver was probably also wondering why the two kids had the kind of conversation with him that only happens in TV dramas, but since he received some money in addition to the platform's commission, he readily accepted the offer and used his twenty years of experience as a driver to promise the two kids that he would never lose them.
Cheng Mu leaned over to help the dazed Yun Mian fasten her seat belt, and he also lowered his head to fasten his own seat belt.
The system flew forward and landed on the host's mother. It originally wanted to help the host listen to whether the family had any way of revenge. Even if it was just a casual chat or two, it could greatly ease Mianmian's emotions at the moment.
But it stayed on Yun Mujin's shoulder and waited for a full ten minutes, but the family of three didn't say a word.
They were like silent loners. Even when traveling in pairs, they silently cast their decaying bodies into the abyss of fire. They knew they were going to die, but they did not hesitate at all.
The system flew up from Yun Mujin's shoulder, watched the tricycle leave, and then returned to the top of Yun Mian's head who was following.
"Mianmian, what are you thinking about?" The system wanted to coax the host to talk, but this suffocatingly quiet atmosphere was really not suitable for Mianmian at all.
Yun Mian withdrew her gaze in a daze, and quickly looked back at the tricycle in front of her.
She was holding her schoolbag, which contained the ten yuan pocket money that her grandfather had given her today.
Grandpa said that there was an activity at school today and farming was very tiring, so after farming he asked Mianmian to buy some snacks to try as a reward for the child's hard work.
"Uncle... they are all gone. Does that mean they don't want me anymore?" Yun Mian finally couldn't help but ask out the grievance and doubt that had been lingering in her heart.
System: "...Mianmian, no, mom and grandpa and grandma are the people who love you the most in the world. They will never be willing to give you up."
The system wanted to explain for them, or to comfort the host so that she wouldn't get stuck in a rut, so it racked its brains to think about what to say to make the child feel a little better.
"They just want to seek revenge on Tang Chen, not that they don't want to give up on Mian Mian."
The system moved closer to touch the winding tear marks on the child's face.
Yun Mian raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face, and finally retracted her gaze. She lowered her head and looked at her fingers that were clenched as she hugged her schoolbag tightly.
After a long while, she whispered, "But uncle... they left me behind."
Grandpa and grandma abandoned Mianmian.
Mom also left Mianmian behind.
None of them asked her if she wanted to be left behind.
No one asked her if she wanted to go with them.
“…Kid, don’t think too much. They are all doing this for your own good. They don’t want to implicate you, so they left when you were not around.” The system was a little at a loss for words.
Yunmian listened quietly and did not refute what the system uncle said this time.
She looked again at the tricycle that was vaguely blocked by the vehicles in front of her, blinked, and her eyes unconsciously became empty inch by inch.
Cheng Mu knew that the child must be in a bad mood, and he didn't think about talking to Yun Mian in the car about the revenge of the three people in front. Otherwise, the driver might take them to the police station before they reached their destination.
But when the tricycle in front was slowly circling an upscale residential area for observation, Cheng Mu stopped the driver who was becoming increasingly confused and pulled the dazed child off the car.
Standing on the inner side of the flower bed, Cheng Mu patted the child on the head and whispered, "Don't be in a daze. That Tang Chen should live here."
Yun Mian raised her eyes suddenly.
"Mianmian." The system also became cautious at this time, and said in a serious voice: "Your grandparents must be stopped. Tang Chen is the person who plundered most of the luck in this world. Even if they arrange it carefully enough, Tang Chen will definitely have the possibility of escaping. Moreover... there are many police nearby. Whether their revenge is successful or not, the ending will definitely be very bad."
In fact, it had wanted Mianmian to stop the Yun family's secret actions a long time ago.
But it didn't know how to tell Mianmian.
I don’t know how a child like Mianmian can convince the two elders of the Yun family to give up the idea of revenge for their daughter.
So it can only wait.
Wait until the last moment, when things are about to be decided, and let Mianmian stop the two old people's crazy behavior.
But it didn't expect that the host's mother would actually act with the two old people.
Things were clearly becoming more difficult.
Tang Chen's life is not valuable, but the impact of his death on this society will be enormous. The police and all sectors of society will definitely conduct a thorough investigation. By then, how can the weak and old of the Yun family resist?
After listening to the system uncle's instructions and concerns, Yun Mian pursed her lips and said nothing, but her eyes passed through the green grass and looked from afar at the three people who had already got off the tricycle.
My grandparents were wearing sanitation workers' clothes.
They must have made a lot of arrangements for today.
Perhaps they had anticipated this day when they chose to pick up trash instead of trying another career.
But apart from themselves, no one can explain the twists and turns involved.
"Let's go." Cheng Mu rubbed the child's head, accompanied her to avoid the guards, bent over and slipped in openly from the pavilion.
"Find out where Tang Chen is first." Cheng Mu had a clear goal.
His level was not high enough, and neither was Yun Mian's, but they were familiar enough with Tang Chen's face, and no one would be on guard against the two children, so they could act much more conveniently and quickly than Yun Yuanzhe and the other two.
Tang Chen might be inside the house, in the elevator, or in the underground parking lot...
But the three members of the Yun family would enter the community at this time, so they must be very sure that Tang Chen would appear in the community today, especially in a place where they could see him.
In order to facilitate the host's actions as quickly as possible, the system also flew up and began to scan the area.
Houses, buildings, trash cans, parking lots, green belts, elevators, corridors, rooftops, indoors...
After scanning a matching figure, the system suddenly landed and stopped steadily above Yunmian's head, quietly directing her the way.
Yun Mian grabbed Cheng Mu, who was still searching aimlessly, and ran straight in a certain direction.
Cheng Mu looked at Yun Mian's running figure in surprise and confusion. Many guesses emerged in his mind, but he dispelled them one by one.
The barrage in the live broadcast room went crazy.
[Ahhhh! Not only is Mianmian running in that direction, but the Yun family members in the corner are all walking in the direction where Tang Chen is! !]
[I'm already terrified. Why do they know Tang Chen so well? Are they cheating?]
[Ahhhhhhh, ever since Mian Mian asked Cheng Mu to install surveillance cameras at home, I have been looking forward to today. I didn’t expect it to come so soon! Can two child players really beat that old fox Tang Chen? ? ]
[Not only are there two child players, but there is also a family of old and weak people... To be honest, this configuration is a deadly way to deal with Tang Chen.]
[I just went to Tang Chen's live broadcast room and took a look. He didn't find anything yet, but the comments of those viewers in his live broadcast room were really disgusting.]
[Thank you. I was about to run over to see the fun but stopped myself.]
[Mianmian and Xiaomu, you two kids must pay attention to your safety. After watching the live broadcast of the money game for so long, this is the first time I have been truly worried about the safety of the players!]
[Tang Chen is the scumbag in this game. I have been looking forward to his fall sooner rather than later. The wave behind must beat the wave in front to death on the beach! !]
Among the dense barrage of comments, Cheng Mu caught the news that Tang Chen was secretly visiting a distinguished guest. His eyes fixed, and he pulled Yun Mian back and ran forward faster.
"Doctor, please come in first." Tang Chen stood at the elevator entrance, smiled and bowed slightly to invite a white-haired old man to enter first.
The old man called Doctor smiled and nodded. Even though he was old, he still had the wisdom of an elder. If you look closely, you will find that he is somewhat similar to Yun Yuanzhe when he is relaxed.
After the doctor walked into the elevator, Tang Chen followed in. When he was about to press the elevator close button, a small figure as fast as the wind suddenly jumped in, followed by an even smaller figure.
The two kids were breathing heavily towards each other, probably because they were running too fast to catch the elevator. Tang Chen's eyes darkened, and he was a little displeased with these kids who appeared in what he thought was his private space.
But he only glanced at the two children's hunched figures and quickly withdrew his gaze.
He didn't care too much about the appearance of the two children. After keeping a distance from them without leaving any trace, he smiled elegantly and chatted with the old man beside him in a gentle voice.
"Doctor, the article you published this time demonstrated the possibility of future Homo sapiens from many perspectives. I am honored to invite you—"
No one interrupted him, but he stopped abruptly in the middle of his speech.
The elevator was eerily quiet.
He suddenly discovered that the two children who had rushed in hurriedly just now had not even pressed the elevator floor button after the elevator went up.
His reaction was sharp and fast enough. The moment he realized something was wrong, he subconsciously turned around and looked at the two children, with his hands already on his waist.
"Mianmian, be careful, he is armed!" The system also detected something unusual on his body.
Yun Mian, however, rushed forward faster and more fiercely.
Together with Cheng Mu, she rushed towards Tang Chen in the narrow elevator car.
Tang Chen reacted extremely quickly and drew his knife, stabbing with a fierce look at the head of Cheng Mu, who was more threatening to him.
But Cheng Mu dodged it.
Not only did he dodge it, but Yun Mian, who also rushed up from the side, bit his other wrist hard. She was too decisive and ruthless in her bite, and the child's teeth were sharp enough, so in just a few seconds, Tang Chen had just felt the piercing pain when blood flowed from the corner of Yun Mian's mouth.
Tang Chen had probably never been so embarrassed before. He was not good at fighting. Having been pampered for many years, he was neither as flexible as Cheng Mu nor as decisive as Yun Mian. Even though the strength of an adult was overwhelming to a child, when Cheng Mu also took out a thin blade from his pocket, Tang Chen could not help but shrink his eyes in horror.
Just as he raised his foot to kick Yun Mian down, the elevator door opened with a "ding" sound.
The old man stood quietly in the corner watching this ridiculous fight. When he noticed Yun Mian's facial features, he moved slightly and wanted to go forward to help the fallen little guy up.
Before he could move, the child who fell to the ground turned over and quickly got up. She picked up the dagger that Cheng Mu had snatched from Tang Chen and threw away, and pounced on him again like a cannonball.
The dagger, which she could hardly hold with her small hand, pierced straight into Tang Chen's waist and abdomen with the strength she exerted.
Tang Chen, who was originally fighting with Cheng Mu, suddenly froze. His pupils dilated unconsciously, and then trembled. His handsome face twitched violently, and his body staggered forward, as if he had suddenly suffered a fatal attack.
But in fact, Yun Mian just listened to Cheng Mu's words and pulled out the dagger that was inserted into his waist with all his strength.
Warm blood splattered on Yun Mian's face and body. She seemed to have become a little bloody person, with even her pupils soaked in bright red blood.
It was not until this moment that Tang Chen finally saw Yun Mian's face.
That face was at least 50% similar to Yun Mujin.
That face that she had to look at at least three or four times a day to please herself after he had maliciously chosen her into the game and plotted against her.
Even with blood all over his face, the determination and resolve in the child's eyes did not change at all.
When they looked at each other for the first time, Tang Chen didn't even see any fear or hatred in Yun Mian's eyes.
Her assassination seemed to be just something that had to be done, not out of hatred or fear.
It was also at this glance that Tang Chen's brain, which was occupied by severe pain, actually separated a large part of his thinking and whispered to himself: This is that woman's child.
He is worthy of being that woman’s child.
Before his thoughts could continue, before the elevator doors closed, he was seriously injured due to blood loss and his body fell limp between the elevator doors.
Blood quickly spread out from the waist, abdomen and wrists, and dripped from the gaps in the elevator, forming a line of blood that fell into the elevator shaft.
Cheng Mu and Yun Mian dragged him out of the elevator little by little. Amidst a large pool of blood, he was thrown casually in the corridor like garbage.
Just like seven years ago, Yun Mujin's eyes were bloodshot and empty, and he was abandoned in that damp and cold alley by him.
All the past and future seemed to be caught in the cycle of fate at this moment.
In the dumbfounded silence of the system uncle, in the sharp warnings of the money game, in the screaming comments in the live broadcast room...
Yun Mian squatted beside Tang Chen, lowered his head and let the blood on his face slide down and hit Tang Chen's face.
She still held the dagger in her hand.
The dagger that belonged to Tang Chen.
She ignored Cheng Mu, ignored the strange old grandfather, and ignored the system uncle's hasty and shocked voice trying to stop her.
He lowered his head and, in front of Tang Chen's terrified and desperate gaze, quickly pushed the pointed blood-stained dagger down little by little, stabbing it straight into his left eye that was extremely similar to his own.
“Ah——!!!” The man’s sharp and shrill wail echoed throughout the entire villa area.
Other than that, it's so quiet you can hear a pin drop.
Cheng Mu lowered his eyes and watched the child complete the action without any thought, with worry and annoyance in his eyes.
He originally planned to wait for Tang Chen to get out of the elevator before taking action, so that he could find a way to eliminate the possibility of Mianmian taking action. After all, he deliberately did not prepare any offensive weapons for Mianmian.
But Tang Chen's reaction was too fast and too sharp.
The elevator door had only been closed for less than three seconds, and Tang Chen hadn't even finished a sentence, but he was still able to quickly identify the crisis...
If it weren't for him and Mianmian, the two children who came in, Tang Chen probably wouldn't even have the brief three seconds to relax.
Thinking of this, Cheng Mu resigned himself to putting away the knife and squatting beside Tang Chen, who was twisting, struggling, crying and wailing, along with Mian Mian.
"Is this the third player on the list? It's a pity that I'm still young. If I were older, I might not resort to such despicable methods."
Cheng Mu ignored the full game notification of the money game system and reached out to curiously poke Tang Chen's twitching and bloody cheek.
“Mianmian!!!”
The sudden scream from behind scared Cheng Mu so much that his hands trembled and he poked his fingers straight into Tang Chen's eyes, causing Tang Chen, who was originally barely able to survive, to scream and struggle in pain again.
But no one cared about him at this time.
Chen Fanghua and Yun Yuanzhe hurried over and looked in disbelief at the blood all over the floor and their granddaughter holding a dagger.
She was so young, but her body and face were covered in blood. The dagger stained red by blood was held in her hand, piercing directly into Tang Chen's eye socket.
Yun Mujin couldn't see, and no one told her in detail what was happening here. She could only distinguish from the bloody smell that filled her nose and the trembling screams of her parents.
She walked slowly towards me, holding onto the wall.
Yun Mian looked up at her grandparents. When their eyes fell on her hands, she let go and said softly, "Grandma, I have avenged you."
You don't have to do weird things behind my back anymore.
There is no need to be arrested and shot by the police.
You don't have to secretly abandon me anymore.
I don't have to live like Cheng Mu, a child alone and helpless.
Yunmian hated being abandoned, especially by her family.
So she chose to take action against the bad guy Tang Chen first.
When she first came to this world, the system uncle instilled in her the knowledge that Cheng Mu killed people and became the number one and also killed the whole world.
Even if the second week starts and the small world wants to change the ending, Cheng Mu is still the protagonist. All the audiences adore and support him crazily. No one will say that the protagonist is a bad boy with no future.
When it was time to go to school, Yang Qi told Yun Mian that children who fought would not be arrested by the police. He said that even if underage children did something excessive, they would not be punished by the police.
Later, Yun Mian saw with her own eyes the children who were abandoned by their parents in this world, the game rules that would deprive players of their lives because of a momentary kindness, and... the grandparents who were secretly making lethal weapons and wanted to die together with Tang Chen.
It has been almost a year since Yunmian came to this world, and no one has ever told her to abide by the laws and rules of the world and the country.
Only the game system kept reminding her: Follow the rules of the game, or you will die!
Before Cheng Mu donated the ten thousand yuan to buy Yun Mian's ten-year career as his follower, he asked Yun Mian if she was afraid when she was about to die.
In fact, Yunmian is not that afraid.
She had died once, or perhaps more than once. Death was very painful, and there was nothing in the world after death. But Yun Mian heard from Uncle System that it didn't matter if she died, and if she died, she would be able to leave this world smoothly.
Yunmian tilted her head and looked at the tears falling from her grandparents' eyes. Her expression was still as innocent as before. She grabbed her grandmother's rough fingers with her bloodstained little hands, shook them gently, and asked in confusion: "Grandma, I helped my mother get revenge, aren't you happy?"
She looked down at Tang Chen who was about to faint, pursed her lips gently, then looked up with a smile: "Grandma, you and Grandpa don't have to make weird things secretly. No one will bully you and stop you from earning money to support mom in the future~"
She looked like she was offering a treasure, eagerly waiting for her grandparents to praise her with smiles on their faces.
But she never dared to look at her mother, who was leaning against the cold wall behind her grandmother, and was almost silent.
“Bang!”
A crisp and powerful slap landed on Yunmian's face.
"How could you do such a thing!! Your grandfather and I worked so hard to raise you... How could you ruin your whole life on this beast?!" Chen Fanghua's voice was trembling with collapse. She looked at her granddaughter's chubby and fair face, which had been raised with great difficulty, and then bright red fingerprints quickly appeared, but were quickly covered by blood. The turbid tears finally slid out of her eyes uncontrollably.
Her daughter, her granddaughter, and their entire family... were all destroyed by Tang Chen alone.
Her hand was raised high, but when she saw her granddaughter's body covered in blood and her eyes that were still clean and clear even after being soaked in blood, her angry hand trembled and could not be lowered.
Yunmian was hit by her grandmother and fell backwards. She lost her balance and fell into a pool of blood on the ground.
"Mianmian!" Several anxious voices sounded at the same time.
Yun Mian only saw the ball of light stumbling towards him.
The ball of light emitted a gray, messy light, and it was probably frightened, so it sounded panicky and crying.
Yun Mian lowered her head and hugged it, and out of the corner of her eye she saw the old man who had been standing in the corner of the elevator giving Tang Chen first aid to stop the bleeding.
Neither of the two children stabbed Tang Chen's fatal parts. No matter how strong they were, they were still children, so Tang Chen did not die. However, if he continued to bleed, he might not be able to be saved.
Yun Mian's face felt burning with pain. She gently touched the System Uncle who was crying out of fear. After blinking away her tears, she pressed the cool blood on the ground and slowly stood up.
"Mianmian."
Amidst Chen Fanghua's collapsed crying, Yun Mujin's voice was exceptionally calm.
Yunmian finally looked up at her mother.
The mother and daughter stared at each other from a distance. After a moment, Yun Mujin said to her daughter, "Pick up the knife and give it to me."
Chen Fanghua's crying stopped. Yun Yuanzhe raised his hand to stop his wife and shook his head at her, with sadness and relief in his eyes.
So let it be, their family is together and no one can leave anyone behind. The one who is left behind will not survive.
Yun Mian obediently pulled the knife out of Tang Chen's eye socket and carefully placed it in her mother's white and warm palm.
Under the gaze of everyone, Yun Mujin slowly walked to Tang Chen and slowly touched his twitching and wet body with her fingers.
Her slender white fingers were gradually stained with blood.
Her hand finally touched Tang Chen's eyes, which were blinking desperately for mercy.
It was a good right eye.
Just like seven years ago, her eyes that could laugh, shed tears, and blink at will.
"I'm sorry I can't see you now, but you should still remember me, right?"
"My eyes should have been valuable back then, giving you the chance to accumulate the wealth you have now. Unfortunately, you don't have the chance to sell yours for a good price."
Yun Mujin said calmly, not caring whether Tang Chen responded or begged, and just stabbed the dagger into his right eye little by little.
Tang Chen no longer had the strength to wail. Amid his faint groans of pain, no one could see any expression of pleasure or joy on Yun Mujin's face.
She was calm as if she had done nothing, but the tip of the dagger in her hand was pressing down inch by inch.
Yunmian watched her mother's actions, and heard the overly rapid notification sound of the game system's emotional fluctuations.
[Players Yunmian and Chengmu violated the rules and assassinated player Tang Chen. The coordinates and all information of the two illegal players are now published. Please ask the remaining players to strangle them.]
[Player Cheng Mu violated the rules of the game, death countdown: 23:59:59.]
[Player Yunmian violated the rules of the game, death countdown: 23:59:59.]
