Chapter 51 Torture
The indoor light seemed to suddenly become brighter.
Fang Tianqi suddenly sat up.
He suddenly saw a tall, slender young man standing quietly not far ahead, looking at him with a smile.
The young man's extremely handsome face was shrouded in candlelight, half-lit and half-shadowed, making him seem enigmatic.
Fang Tianqi's throat bobbed with difficulty, as if bound by some invisible force, unable to tear his gaze away from the young man.
It was as if he possessed some terrible magic.
In a daze, a passage flashed through Fang Tianqi's mind—
The clear sky suddenly darkened, and the clouds became heavy.
In the deathly silent dense forest, Fang Tianzong stood stiffly under the shade of a tree, his dim eyes revealing extreme fear.
He had a bloody hole in his chest.
A pale, slender hand slowly emerged from the bloody hole.
A fiery heart beats in those flawless palms.
This is Fang Tianzong's heart.
Fang Tianzong always carried the heart of Wu Dongxiao, his good brother.
The owner of the hand has a face that is so handsome it's hard to imagine.
His eyes held a nonchalant air, and a gentle smile played on his thin, sharp lips, yet it conveyed no tenderness whatsoever.
He squeezed his hand tightly against his heart, squeezing out golden blood.
One drop, two drops... seven drops.
It is Fang Tianzong's most precious essence and blood, nurtured for many years, the Seven Treasures of Crimson Sun Blood.
They are dropped into a bottle at will, as if they were insignificant trash.
At that moment, Wu Dongxiao's terrified cry rang out: "No—!"
The sound startled the demonic-like youth, who glanced at him dismissively.
"It's Dong Xiao."
He casually tossed the shriveled heart aside.
Wu Dongxiao hurriedly caught it, but when he looked up again, the young man had vanished like a wisp of smoke.
Why……
Wu Dongxiao roared in disbelief, "Uncle! Uncle—why! Why did you kill Tianzong!"
But no one answered him.
Perhaps a thousand miles away, someone will let out a soft chuckle.
·
Fang Tianqi's forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat.
When he first read this chapter, his attention was focused on the suffering protagonist.
The cause of Fang Tianzong's death was less than a thousand words long, and the section about the murderer was even shorter. He skimmed through it without paying much attention.
After transmigrating into the book, he always focused on the protagonist.
Until this moment.
The vague words in his mind suddenly became clear, and every description made his hair stand on end.
It's not like the comments that are randomly spammed and highly praised, such as "Watch out for this character! High energy ahead!", "He's here! A crazy comedian!", "Uncle is here! Uncle is gone! Uncle is here again!".
It's not the kind of boss that's superficially remembered and designed in every male-oriented novel.
Instead, it was a powerful being who truly existed before him, who had discovered his secret of transmigrating into the book, and who could easily capture him.
Fang Tianqi was gripped by immense panic, finally understanding the fear that a "madman" could instill.
All those self-righteous thoughts—that their qualifications were the same as his, that he had a storyline and there was nothing to fear—vanished.
Fang Tianqi had an even more terrifying thought.
Could it be... that this madman is a reincarnation?
But if he was reborn, why did he regain his aptitude ahead of time?
Has he already retrieved the treasure he was born with in his previous life, and is he just pretending to be weak?
Did he already know about these outsiders and deliberately spread such rumors to lure them into a trap and capture them all?
Is he...is he...is he...?
Countless speculations crowded into Fang Tianqi's mind, making his fear grow stronger and stronger.
His blood seemed to have frozen, no longer flowing...
·
I don't know how much time passed, but it also felt like only a moment.
The atmosphere was so suffocating, the air seemed to have frozen, making it hard for Fang Tianqi to breathe.
Fang Tianqi opened his mouth, then suddenly coughed violently, his voice hoarse.
"What...are you saying?"
He had no idea what a transmigrator was.
He won't admit it!
The next instant, the person opposite him appeared in front of him.
A sharp ringing sound came from Fang Tianqi's mind—
He's going to kill me!
[This madman wants to rip my heart out!]
He won't let me get away with this!
He didn't believe it!
[Escape! I must escape!]
[I'm going to find the protagonist! Yes! The protagonist can protect me!]
[I want to go back to the Fang family! The ancestor can protect me!]
Fang Tianqi rolled over with all his might, pressed his chest tightly to the ground, and desperately crawled backward.
He didn't notice that the man didn't chase after him.
He also failed to see that there were actually far more than just him and the "madman" in the room.
·
Wu Shaogan: "..."
Seeing this, Zhong Cai, who was sitting cross-legged in the corner, quickly covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing.
What the heck?! Another one who's been scared out of their wits!
Zhong Cai had many suspicions about why this transmigrator, knowing full well that his father, Wu, was in Qianqiao Town, still came to approach Dong Xiao and stir up trouble—
For example, maybe Lao Wu isn't so scary after all, and it's just that the first transmigrator was too paranoid?
For example, that person hasn't realized that Lao Wu has regained his qualifications by opening blind boxes, and thinks that Lao Wu is still useless, so he doesn't care?
For example, that person knew that Lao Wu could cultivate, but not nearly as much as in the story, so he wasn't afraid?
Zhong Cai specially designed the lighting and lines to enhance the intimidation power of his old man, and to scare this vicious transmigrator.
In addition, he also had Lao Wu portray a sinister aura, had the bronze-armored soldiers conceal their forms, and constantly exerted pressure on the transmigrator, adjusting the intensity of the pressure according to the transmigrator's reactions...
But Zhong Cai didn't expect that this guy would be like that transmigrator who scared himself to death, as if he suddenly imagined a lot of things and then went offline in a trembling and rational manner.
Just like that... tumbling and crawling?
Zhong Cai thought that this guy's reaction meant he believed that Lao Wu would attack him.
To make him...die a terrible death?
Zhong Cai was really curious.
What kind of person is Old Wu in the original book?
·
Wu Shaogan quietly watched the transmigrated reader rushing out of the book, but he didn't have as many thoughts as his Ah Cai.
He raised his hand and shook hands with the transmigrator in the air.
In an instant, an invisible force gripped the transmigrator's neck, forcibly dragging him back.
The transmigrator tumbled to the ground in a sorry state, having completely forgotten his own strength, and crawled backward on all fours.
He had completely broken down.
Wu Shaogan let him climb.
After the transmigrator escaped to a certain distance, he was pulled back into the void.
This process is repeated.
However, the transmigrator seems tireless.
Time and again, even after being caught each time, it seemed that only one instinct remained in his mind—
Escape from Wu Shaogan's clutches!
·
Seeing that the transmigrator's fingers were bleeding from scratching, Zhong Cai sighed.
Even knowing that this was a scumbag who preyed on children, the fact that nothing actually happened meant that he was already quite frightened.
Zhong Cai looked at Wu Shaogan.
Wu Shaogan noticed Zhong Cai's gaze and looked back.
Then, when Wu Shaogan brought the person back again, he no longer toyed with him like a cat playing with a mouse.
·
Fang Tianqi's vision was blurred, and all he could think about was desperately trying to escape.
But suddenly, he couldn't move.
Perhaps it was because I had been running away for too long and was too tired.
Then, something was stuffed into his mouth, making his already dwindling mind even more confused.
In the depths of his heart, a faint, ethereal voice seemed to echo.
"May I have your name?"
Where are you from?
"You have achieved your goal..."
"How can you come up with such a perfect plan? I really want to learn from you..."
"You must know a lot more. Would you like to tell me? Your memory is amazing..."
Fang Tianqi vaguely recalled his plans and gradually remembered the plot.
So everything turned out as he wished?
Then he must have successfully taken advantage of the protagonist.
All the opportunities the protagonist will have in the future will belong to him!
The so-called crazy uncle... crazy! Crazy! Discovery! Rebirth!
A sharp warning sounded in Fang Tianqi's mind once again.
But a gentle force soothed him.
"Don't think about it, there are no crazy people out there..."
"There is no such thing as rebirth..."
"all is well……"
"Everything still follows the original book..."
"The plot hasn't changed at all..."
"What else do you know? Tell me and you won't be afraid anymore..."
·
Before the bronze-armored soldiers went to capture Fang Tianqi, Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan had discussed interrogating the transmigrator thoroughly to extract all the plot details he knew from him, so as to make comparisons and understand the current situation.
However, to ensure that the transmigrators are telling the truth, several preparations must be made.
Zhong Cai directly found a "True Word Pill" in the prescription.
The prescription involves both primary and secondary levels.
After taking this elixir, if you ask the other person, they will tell you everything they know about it, and they will not lie.
However, if a cultivator's will is strong enough, they can utter only a few words of the truth, concealing important information in the last syllable. It's even possible that the elixir won't work, and the cultivator will regain consciousness after a brief period of dazedness.
Most cultivators have a very firm will. The Mantra Pill may seem to have terrifying effects, but it is actually somewhat useless.
Therefore, this formula is not even considered a top-quality one among ordinary elixir formulas.
Zhong Cai decided to refine a first-level True Word Pill, since the transmigrator hadn't yet achieved the Palace of Opening.
Then Lao Wu would intimidate the transmigrator, scaring him senseless, and then feed him pills.
In this way, the medicine will surely be able to take effect.
If they didn't have enough first-grade pills, they would first lock the transmigrator in the command platform and have him guarded by bronze-armored soldiers.
The transmigrator, imprisoned in a small space, must still be in a daze.
Zhong Cai then refined a second-level pill, and after succeeding, he interrogated the transmigrator of the book again.
·
Zhong Cai, who had already become a second-level alchemist, successfully refined a first-level True Word Pill in no time.
Although it's just a low-grade pill, it's not like this is Old Wu. So what if it's low-grade?
So what if the effects of low-grade pills don't last as long?
If the effect of the medicine is almost gone, take one more pill.
·
When they actually started scaring the transmigrator, everything went smoothly.
The transmigrator's will was much weaker than the two thought.
Zhong Cai had done a lot of preparation; the transmigrator didn't collapse instantly, but it didn't take long either.
Soon the transmigrator lost consciousness. The bronze-armored soldier fed him a level one True Word Pill, and his expression immediately went blank, his eyes glazed over, like a wooden man without any thoughts.
Zhong Cai hissed.
This Mantra Pill is a bit scary... thankfully it has limitations.
Wu Shaogan handed over all the initiative to Zhong Cai and did not raise any questions himself.
Zhong Cai then tentatively asked him his name and background.
The transmigrator answered cooperatively without the slightest struggle.
His original name was Fang Qi, but now he is called Fang Tianqi.
"From Earth."
Zhong Cai was stunned.
Wu Shaogan asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Zhong Cai said, "It wasn't my past life."
He asked a few more questions about the situation on Earth.
Fang Tianqi opened and closed his lips, answering in sequence.
·
Fang Qi's world is Blue Star, while Zhong Cai's world is Earth.
They are definitely not from the same world.
However, from Fang Qi's description, we know that Blue Star and Earth are extremely similar, and the country he lives in is also extremely similar to Zhong Cai's.
Therefore, even if they are not from the same hometown, they are from a parallel world.
·
Zhong Cai stared at Fang Tianqi for a while, and seeing that he showed no signs of being sober, she was about to ask him about Lao Wu.
But remembering Fang Tianqi's previous fear of Lao Wu, he hesitated for a moment and decided to put it aside for now and start with something less exciting.
Zhong Cai then inquired about Fang Tianqi's plans for the protagonist, guiding his emotions.
Soon, Fang Tianqi revealed an arrogant expression and began to speak eloquently.
As he continued to describe and explain his thoughts and mindset, Zhong Cai's expression gradually turned cold.
He's really something!
Not only did they trick that brat with the savage beasts, but they also wanted to make him take the blame.
What Zhong Cai didn't expect was that summoning the savage beast wasn't the first time he had messed up his son's life. Before this, he had already lost the rare and precious materials that could restore his son's aptitude!
Zhong Cai, who possessed the skills of alchemy, naturally recognized the Twin Flower and knew its effects. He also knew very well that once the Twin Flower had been picked, it could no longer transform, and even if given to his offspring, it would not remove the toxins.
Zhong Cai murmured, "The Two-Life Flower is the main ingredient of the Level 5 Life-Extending Pill."
Wu Shaogan was taken aback.
·
Initially, Zhong Cai did not know that Wu Shaogan could recover. After receiving the inheritance, he dared not look at anything else, but focused on the medicinal materials needed for each level of life-extending pill.
There is only one formula for a level 5 life-extending pill, but the main ingredient can be replaced.
The two-flowered flower is one of the precious medicinal herbs that can be used as a main ingredient.
If one consumes this flower raw, those who build palaces or temples will have their lifespan increased by a hundred years.
However, if this rare medicine is used to replace the main ingredient of the Level 5 Life-Sustaining Pill, the efficacy of the Life-Sustaining Pill will be greatly increased.
A low-grade fifth-level life-extending pill can still extend the life of a cultivator in the Fusion Realm by a hundred years, but the lifespan of a mid-grade, high-grade, and top-grade pills will increase by a hundred years with each grade!
Moreover, superior and top-grade items can extend the lifespan of cultivators who build palaces, but the increase in lifespan is halved to one hundred and fifty or two hundred years.
The Level 5 Life-Sustaining Pill, which uses this flower as its main ingredient, actually has an efficacy between Level 5 and Level 6.
Zhong Cai had thought in his early years that if his aptitude couldn't be improved and he could only refine level 5 pills in the end, then he would find such a rare medicine to refine, which would increase Lao Wu's lifespan and allow Lao Wu to stay with him for several more centuries...
·
Now, Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan both have bright futures ahead of them and don't really care about the protagonist's opportunities.
Zhong Cai no longer had any expectations for the Twin Flowers, but just then, the transmigrator of the book delivered them to her door.
Taking a deep breath, Zhong Cai suppressed her anger and listened coldly as Fang Tianqi continued to ramble on about his sinister intentions.
After he calmed down, Zhong Cai asked the question she most wanted to know.
"Who was Wu Shaogan? What happened to him in the end?"
Fang Tianqi said blankly, "He's the protagonist's crazy uncle..."
Just as he finished speaking, his expression turned terrified again, and he clutched his head and rolled to the ground in agony!
Zhong Cai was startled and quickly softened her voice, gently comforting and persuading him.
Fang Tianqi was quickly persuaded.
When Zhong Cai asked again, Fang Tianqi's emotions calmed down considerably.
What happened to Wu Shaogan in the end?
Fang Tianqi said, "He's dead."
Zhong Cai rushed over immediately, anxiously asking, "How did you die! What nonsense are you spouting!"
Wu Shaogan quickly grabbed him and held him tightly.
Zhong grabbed Wu Shaogan's arm tightly and stared intently at Fang Tianqi.
How could Old Wu be dead?! The transmigrators in the book are all so afraid of Old Wu!
Old Wu will not die at all!
Zhong Cai gritted her teeth and forced out a few words, demanding, "How...how did Old Wu die?"
Fang Tianqi seemed to be recalling something, and said intermittently, "After Wu Shaogan was deposed, he couldn't use his strength. Several palace thieves learned of his whereabouts and sneaked in at night to kill him."
Wu Shaogan's eyes darkened slightly.
If he doesn't recover his aptitude quickly, he'll die at the hands of a few bandits? What a ridiculous joke!
Zhong Cai understood.
Those bandits came to harm Old Wu because they were after his wealth!
No matter what, Old Wu was a consecrated cultivator in the past.
Even without him, and with Lao Wu being so careless, they could still accumulate some things.
In the eyes of so-called bandits, the things of enlightened cultivators are naturally very valuable, and as long as they kill Old Wu, they will all be theirs!
Wu Shaogan calmly asked, "Are all the bandits still alive?"
Fang Tianqi said, "Five went, and two died."
Wu Shaogan grabbed Zhong Cai's hand and comforted him, saying, "Look, I managed to do one more."
Zhong Cai took a deep breath and gritted her teeth, saying, "Shut up!"
Then, he stared at Fang Tianqi again.
"And then what?"
Fang Tianqi said, "Later, he was resurrected."
Zhong Cai: "How were you resurrected?"
Fang Tianqi: "I don't know."
Zhong Cai was furious and a string of profanities came out of her mouth.
"How the hell could you not know?! How exactly did Old Wu resurrect?! You don't know the whole story and you're so smug? You're an idiot! Then how do you know Old Wu was resurrected later?"
Fang Tianqi replied, "I read the first hundred free chapters repeatedly. As for the paid chapters, I picked a few to read about Fang Tianzong's ending and found that the protagonist's uncle was alive. The comments in the free chapters mentioned that the protagonist's uncle was alive."
Zhong took deep breaths, and a string of curses flashed through his mind.
"Then tell me in detail, everything you know about the main character's uncle's storyline."
Fang Tianqi's eyes glazed over for a moment.
Zhong Cai gestured.
The bronze-armored soldier then gave him another Truth Pill.
Fang Tianqi's momentary daze vanished, and he answered the question again without any struggle.
"After the protagonist's uncle is resurrected, he wreaks havoc everywhere, killing countless people and causing a bloodbath. He is a madman."
"He dug out the heart of the protagonist's beloved wife, and he dug out the heart of Fang Tianzong."
"The novel has reached chapter 1396, and he's still not dead."
Zhong Cai suddenly closed her eyes and exhaled again.
This time, he slowly calmed down.
Old Wu will be resurrected, though we don't know how he'll come back to life, but once he's alive, he won't die again...
Thank goodness... thank goodness.
·
Only then did Zhong Cai slowly begin to understand the other meanings behind Fang Tianqi's words.
After Lao Wu came back to life, he started causing trouble.
Zhong Cai frowned. Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
He said with absolute certainty, "Old Wu must have his reasons!"
After hearing those few sentences describing himself, Wu Shaogan quietly observed Zhong Cai's expression.
Seeing Zhong Cai's unwavering belief in him, he... felt a little guilty.
He fell silent for a moment.
·
Wu Shaogan asked himself, if it weren't for A Cai's constant companionship, his mental state would probably not be very good, and he wouldn't have been able to restrain himself. As long as he could achieve his goal, he would use any means necessary.
If what Fang Tianqi said could really help him, he would definitely do it.
In the original book, he might have had some affection for Wu Dongxiao, and if what he needed was Wu Dongxiao's heart, he might have let him go.
However, people who are only related to Wu Dongxiao cannot sway his decision.
Wu Shaogan touched his nose.
...A-Cai really trusted him.
·
Zhong Cai, of course, believed Wu Shaogan and continued to ask questions with full confidence.
"What is the background of Wu Dongxiao's beloved wife? And who is Fang Tianzong, and what is your relationship with him?"
These were all things that Fang Tianqi happened to know.
He answered them one by one.
·
In the last twenty chapters of the free chapters, Fang Tianzong, a handsome, extraordinary, and generous prodigy from a high-ranking family, appears, showing special regard for Wu Dongxiao.
Fang Tianqi felt uncomfortable whenever he saw him.
How can someone be so perfect? They have no flaws whatsoever, and their personality is wonderful; they even outshine the main character.
Fang Tianqi found countless faults with Fang Tianzong, constantly speculating about how dark Fang Tianzong was in private and how he harbored ill intentions towards the protagonist.
He had made up these remarks on the spot, but Fang Tianqi did not expect that many people would like and agree with him.
Fang Tianqi then looked at the table of contents and found that several chapters had titles like this:
[Sacrificing one's own family for the greater good] [The death of Fang Tianzong] [The truth behind it] [The downfall of the Fang family] [A great dream] [Leaving home]
After reading countless online articles, Fang Tianqi immediately realized that there was something fishy going on!
So he went to a free website and read those chapters.
Naturally, he saw what Fang Tianzong was really like, how much the protagonist suffered and broke down because of him, and the fate of the Fang family, etc.
This plot also includes the protagonist understanding why his uncle would rip out his heart, and a flashback to when he had also ripped out his beloved wife's heart in the past.
Fang Tianqi was initially pleased to see that Fang Tianzong was a despicable person, but he soon discovered another person who was superior to the protagonist, namely the protagonist's mad uncle.
Fang Tianqi was furious. What kind of rubbish protagonist-abusing novel is this?! Everyone here is a head taller than the protagonist!
Before abandoning the book, Fang Tianqi went to the book review section to rant and rave about the madman. However, the madman's popularity was too high, unlike Fang Tianzong, who had already fallen from grace.
Fang Tianqi couldn't win the argument at all.
·
After receiving Fang Tianqi's reply, Zhong Cai ignored what he was rambling about and simply smiled confidently.
"As expected, Old Wu isn't the kind of person who acts recklessly!"
Zhong Cai had a vague idea that her husband, Lao Wu, wasn't always sunny and cheerful, but so what? Lao Wu had already tried his best.
Old Wu was crippled and left all alone!
Wu Dongxiao, who had the same experience, was still a child, and he had no way to relieve his worries.
Not to mention that he didn't provoke anyone, yet bandits still tried to harm him!
Even when Lao Wu needed these less-than-honorable resources after he came back to life, he never harmed innocent people.
No matter how good Mu Ling'er's nature is, her life is built on the blood and flesh of countless others.
Fang Tianzong is even less of a threat; he's not even human!
Zhong Cai looked at Wu Shaogan, her eyes filled with even more pride.
Wu Shaogan: "..."
I always felt that he might not be as good as A-Cai thought.
·
That was all Fang Tianqi knew. Zhong Cai then asked about the plot of some of the free chapters.
Almost entirely, it's about Wu Dongxiao's experiences and changes in mindset, which looks rather tragic.
Every time Wu Dongxiao gains something, he always goes through some hardship, then overcomes it, gains something again, and then goes through more hardship...
There have also been quite a few storylines involving the protagonist's childhood sweetheart.
Basically, Wu Dongxiao met Duan Yuehua, who was traveling, in Qianqiao Town, and they became sworn siblings because of their similar personalities.
Duan Yuehua didn't care that Wu Dongxiao was crippled, and Wu Dongxiao wouldn't feel inferior because of Duan Yuehua's noble status, much less try to obtain her resources because of it.
They lived happily together for a while, and then it was time for Duan Yuehua to leave.
Before leaving, Duan Yuehua promised Wu Dongxiao that she would definitely visit him in the future, and that she would cultivate diligently and find a level-six antidote for him when she became stronger.
Wu Dongxiao did not covet the resources that Duan Yuehua's family gave her, but he gladly accepted Duan Yuehua's kindness.
Of course, the protagonist later had his own extraordinary adventures.
Later, Wu Dongxiao spent most of his time exploring in the mountains. The setbacks he encountered mainly came from various wild beasts. He also spent many years with the simple-minded Bone-Eating Silver Wolves, and gradually forgot the hardships he had experienced in his family in his early years.
However, despite their efforts, poverty still limited their progress in strength – though, thanks to a number of fortunate opportunities, they progressed much faster than many other family children.
At the age of sixteen, Wu Dongxiao received an opportunity recorded by the first transmigrator in the book: two Xuan Pearls, low-level resources, and a Heart-Protecting Pill. He sold everything except what he could use.
It was at that time that Wu Dongxiao had enough money to buy medicinal herbs and study the inheritance he had received from Mu Changsheng.
However... I was deceived by my first love.
As a result, Wu Dongxiao became withdrawn, and childhood memories flooded his mind, causing him to almost shut his heart and lock away love.
The reason I say "almost" is because not many months later, Wu Dongxiao met Duan Yuehua again.
It turned out that after Duan Yuehua made some progress in her cultivation, she came to Qianqiao Town to find him again.
However, Wu Dongxiao stayed in Qianqiao Town for a short time, and Duan Yuehua was not found.
Now that they have finally met, Duan Yuehua is still as sincere as ever, and Wu Dongxiao's cold heart has been warmed up a bit.
Not to mention, although Duan Yuehua didn't have the ability to get a level six antidote pill, she had saved up a little stash of money, just waiting to meet her "brother" and show him her efforts.
Wu Dongxiao was healed by Duan Yuehua. He remained wary, but became calm and less cold-hearted.
Just as Duan Yuehua brought him good luck, not long after, Wu Dongxiao met Fang Tianzong...
·
Zhong Cai pondered.
He wasn't interested in any of the main character resources that Fang Tianqi had offered.
I wasn't interested before, and I still aren't interested after listening to it.
What he drew from the altar was worth a hundred times more than these resources.
After thinking it over, it seems that this is all Fang Tianqi can provide. If he wants to know more... perhaps he should ask Duan Yuehua?
But never mind.
Zhong Cai looked at Wu Shaogan.
Wu Shaogan smiled at him and said, "I'll do whatever you say."
Zhong Cai said, "Let's leave it at that. As long as Duan Yuehua doesn't mean any harm, we'll ignore her."
Wu Shaogan nodded.
Zhong Cai put Duan Yuehua out of her mind and looked at Fang Tianqi, who was still in a daze, when a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.
After a pause, Zhong Cai asked one last question.
What was your past like?
Zhong Cai felt that something was off about Fang Tianqi, so he wanted to know what kind of person Fang Tianqi was when he was still Fang Qi.
Fang Tianqi began to speak, and as he narrated, a peculiar expression gradually appeared on his face.
It's as if he's done something amazing before.
Something to brag about.
·
Fang Qi is an ordinary young man.
From birth until he was twenty, his life was always unremarkable.
He wasn't particularly handsome, but he wasn't ugly either; he didn't have strong academic abilities, but he was able to get into an average university; he didn't have outstanding social skills, but he had three or five friends who were about the same age as him.
His life was uneventful; he had not suffered any psychological trauma, nor had he been bullied or oppressed.
But Fang Qi didn't like being so ordinary.
During his university years, Fang Qi had a lot of free time, so he devoted more of it to the internet, freely expressing his opinions.
He can be seen pontificating under many videos, and under many news articles, he comments things like "Why is it that they are the victim? There must be a reason." and "It's fake, it can't be trying to gain sympathy." On many forums, he has a "great achievement" of nitpicking, labeling, and arguing endlessly...
Gradually, as more and more people refuted him, and then no one paid any attention to him and even reported him, he began to feel that it was pointless.
Fang Qi devoted his time to online novels.
His self-righteous remarks filled the comment sections of countless male-oriented novels. If a novel required a certain number of fan points to comment, he would repeatedly read through the free chapters, meticulously finding fault, and then post lengthy comments on various platforms. He spared no time in arguing with other book fans, and gladly received countless accolades.
As the controversy intensified, Fang Qi vented his frustrations online, feeling like a prominent figure. But once back in reality, he reverted to being just an ordinary person.
Fang Qi gradually became unwilling to accept this.
He began to vent his anger on vulnerable lives.
It started with cruelly killing insects, then progressed to buying chicks, ducklings... rabbits... stray cats, disabled stray dogs... and pet cats and dogs belonging to neighbors and strangers...
When he was twenty-five, Fang Qi developed a fondness for playing with children.
Especially children whose parents are careless.
Gradually, many children got into trouble.
Several children drowned while playing in the river; an infant suffocated after being left in a car by its parents; some children suddenly disappeared and were suspected of being abducted; and some children were found after disappearing for two or three days, only to have broken their heads and stopped breathing...
Fang Qi made all of these.
Approach, guide, and utilize the innocence of children.
He only makes a plan every six months or a year, and the children who get into trouble don't always end up in the same place.
He remained undiscovered.
When Fang Qi was thirty years old, he was in a car accident.
When he woke up again, he had become Fang Tianqi.
Start planning for yourself.
Anyway, he's a character from a book he's read; he's a prophet, and he's confident of victory.
·
Zhong Cai felt a little nauseous: "No wonder, he felt no pressure at all when he attacked Dong Xiao, and he came up with a plan so quickly."
Wu Shaogan patted Zhong Cai on the shoulder and comforted him, saying, "Luckily, he's not from your hometown."
Zhong Cai took a deep breath and forced a smile.
·
After asking the questions, Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan understood why Fang Tianqi was acting this way.
If Fang Qi was initially just vain and had some bad habits, then his lack of self-control later caused him to quickly degenerate into a despicable villain who would only prey on the weakest of prey.
Fang Qi's attacks were aimed at targets that were completely unable to resist him.
After arriving in this world, he looked down on everyone in the story as NPCs, while those outside the story and outside the Fang family were viewed with the condescending attitude of a member of the Fang family.
Fang Tianqi looked down on the protagonist, thinking he was just a little brat he could manipulate, just like the ones he had harmed.
He also harbored malice towards other transmigrators. If he hadn't been caught, he would have used Wu Dongxiao to kill Duan Yuehua.
·
Zhong Cai raised her foot and kicked him hard!
Fang Tianqi's ribs were broken by the kick, and he was in so much pain that he rolled on the ground.
Zhong Cai stood beside Wu Shaogan, coldly watching the disheveled Fang Tianqi.
Fang Tianqi was in even more pain and misery than before, but Zhong Cai no longer felt anything was wrong.
This scumbag deserves to be torn to pieces!
·
One kick, two kicks, three kicks!
Zhong Cai ruthlessly stomped on Fang Tianqi, watching him suffer more and more.
Wu Shaogan did not stop him, but only pulled him back a few steps when he exerted too much force.
Zhong Caicai managed to calm down.
He let out a deep breath, having lost count of how many times he had calmed himself down that day.
·
Fang Tianqi unconsciously regained consciousness, only to find himself covered in blood and in excruciating pain.
He suddenly recalled what had happened before and what he had said.
In an instant, his face turned pale, and he looked up again in terror.
Ahead, besides Wu Shaogan whom he feared, there was another boy.
The boy stared at him, his eyes blazing with fury.
