Mingzhe had to mature young. It’s not that he doesn’t know how to protect himself, but he gave up calling the police.
He is afraid that after calling the police, not only will Uncle Liu go to jail, but his parents will too.
His parents didn’t want him at all, he was born an accident. No one is happy about Mingzhe’s birth even though he is well-behaved and sensible, in their eyes he is dull and gloomy.
And Uncle Liu is given a small sandbag.
Each takes what he wants, and the two families are very happy.
Mingzhe is easy to raise, Uncle Liu will share a bite with him when he eats, as long as he is not starved to death, all’s well.
Now, Mingzhe is still in the nine-year compulsory education program, and schooling does not cost money. Mingzhe does not get any pocket money hence he needs to bring some breakfast as lunch.
Uncle Liu didn’t give him money, so he needs to look through the trash can for stationery and exercise books.
In Uncle Liu’s plan, Mingzhe doesn’t need to go to high school, and needs to work as soon as he turns sixteen.
This child is very sensible, and raising him is easier than raising a dog. Not only does it cost no money, but can also make a small profit after a few years.
Mingzhe is very smart and whatever plans the adults have, he has already guessed it.
Huge fists landed on him, causing severe pain all over his body.
Not far away is the dining table, Mingzhe uses both hands and feet, trying to crawl under the dining table to hide.
Just as his bruised hand touched the leg of the table, Uncle Liu grabbed his ankle and dragged him back abruptly.
Father Ming grabbed his hair and slapped him hard in the face, “How dare you hide! How dare you hide! I fucking gave birth to you and raised you, yet you dare to call the police!”
Usually when he is beaten, Mingzhe doesn’t make a sound.
This time it may have been too hard, he kept crying for mercy and screaming for his father.
As soon as Father Ming let go, Mingzhe fell limply on the ground, his thin body curled up.
No matter how he tried to hide, he couldn’t avoid Father Ming’s fist.
Uncle Liu saw that he would not bear any consequences for beating him, so he also pulled out his belt.
Mother Ming stood at the side and watched, saying that stop, stop. But she didn’t stop them in the slightest.
The pain spread across Mingzhe’s body, from the skin to the bone little by little, and finally into the soul.
On a hot summer night, he was too cold to shiver.
Mingzhe twitched in pain, and stretched out his hand to Mother Ming: “Mom, save me!!!”
Mother Ming glanced at him, after she was sure that no one would be killed, she looked away.
This scene was reflected in Mingzhe’s bloodshot pupils, and the pain gradually turned into anger, burning into his chest.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and looked straight at the people in front of him.
Mingzhe was afraid that if he called the police, his parents would go to jail. He thought that as long as he was sensible and obedient, his parents would love him.
Since you hate me, why did you give birth to me?
The belt slapped his face, completely shattering the last hope in Mingzhe’s heart.
A small black shadow flew in front of Mingzhe evasively, and after seeing the blood on his face, he waved the box knife with all his teeth and claws.
His gaze fell on the little plasticine figurine, and Mingzhe’s pupils gradually focused.
The vitality value, which had already dropped to minus 30, suddenly increased and quickly recovered.
He struggled to reach out and hold Little Superman’s cape.
The room was very noisy, only Chu Shici could hear Mingzhe’s voice.
“The fruit knife on the dining table has the fingerprints of the three of them on it. Ge, help me…”
Before he could finish his sentence, he was pulled by the belt and grunted, unable to utter another word.
Chu Shici was stunned for a moment, and soon understood Mingzhe’s meaning.
He threw the utility knife aside and flew up from the ground.
The noisy voice disappeared instantly, and the room fell into a deathly silence.
The three adults stared blankly at the plasticine figurine floating in the air. Uncle Liu rubbed his eyes in shock, unable to react for a while.
In the next second, the little plasticine figurine rushed towards the three of them holding a fruit knife.
He flew very fast, and the fruit knife stabbed into their bodies.
They couldn’t catch him even if they tried. And they would be stopped if they tried to escape.
In just one minute, five or six blood holes appeared on Uncle Liu’s body.
Chu Shici held the blood-stained knife, his eyes were full of anger.
Mingzhe needs them to pay back the suffering he has suffered in the past two years.
When the living room was in complete chaos, Mingzhe struggled to crawl over and took out his mobile phone from the schoolbag that fell on the ground.
A few seconds after the alarm call was made, the operator’s voice came from the microphone.
Mingzhe huddled under the dining table, helplessly choked up and said: “Police-jiejie, help me. My parents, my uncle…they are stabbing each other with knives, it’s scary!”
Hearing a crying child on the opposite side, the female operator’s voice became softer, trying to comfort him through the microphone.
Mingzhe wiped the blood from his eyes, looked at the three screaming and fleeing, and showed a mocking smile.
“I don’t know, I’m scared! They kept beating me like before. After a while, they started fighting. Jiejie, Jiejie, I’m scared! They became so strange and kept talking about ghosts. Scratching around ! They are just…just stabbing each other with knives!”
He paused and sobbed. Under the consolation of the operator, he barely regained his composure.
Those light brown eyes met Uncle Liu who was lying on the ground.
“Are they crazy? I listen to jiejie, please, you must come here quickly, Mingzhe is not afraid.”*
*(cutesy 3rd person speech)
___
City Z is an average-sized city with good law and order. Except for the occasional robbery and theft, there are hardly any major crimes here.
A 12-year-old boy called the police last night. On the phone, the boy’s voice was weak and he appeared to be seriously injured.
He was terrified and kept crying in terror, sounding helpless and pitiful.
The local police quickly dispatched the police, and when they broke in, they were all shocked by the scene in the living room.
There were blood splatters all over the wall and floor. A middle-aged woman screaming and waving a fruit knife indiscriminately.
The two men fell to the ground, yelling in terror, their bodies were dripping with blood, and there were no areas not covered in wounds in sight.
As soon as they saw the police, they rushed towards them, yelling that there was a ghost.
The boy who called the police for help huddled under the dining table, clutching his old mobile phone tightly.
He didn’t dare to climb out until several police women came to appease him.
There were only fingerprints of several people present on the fruit knife, and there were no traces of other people in the room.
The child who called the police was Mingzhe, who was beaten badly. Even walking is a problem, and it is clear he has no ability to hurt people at all.
He kept talking with the operator the whole time, and there was no possibility that he was involved.
The three adults were his parents and their neighbour Uncle Liu, who insisted that they saw the flying plasticine figurine. It was the little plasticine figurine holding a fruit knife and stabbing them like this.
The police found the blood-stained little figurine at the scene, which was a small toy made by Mingzhe himself.
Just an ordinary plasticine doll, nothing special about it.
The depth of the wounds on the three people is very shallow, and the depth did not match the strength of adults, but it is even more unrealistic for plasticines to stab people.
The little toy has been disassembled and checked, and the only raw materials are toothpicks and plasticine.
In the end, after Mingzhe’s parents and Uncle Liu recovered from superficial wounds, they were sent to a mental hospital.
Accompanied by a policewoman, Mingzhe said goodbye to his parents.
His parents yelled desperately, “We are not crazy! The plasticine flew, and the three of us saw it! Xiao Zhe, Xiao Zhe, you saw it too, right!”
When Chu Shici stabbed people, he targeted Uncle Liu, and Uncle Liu became even more insane, screaming when he saw sparrows flying by.
Mingzhe shrank his neck in fright, hid behind the policewoman and shook his head: “Mom and Dad, treat yourself well, and you must listen to the doctor.”
Both parents entered the mental hospital, grandpa passed away, and after grandma was discharged from the hospital, she began to take care of Mingzhe.
Mingzhe’s parents have already paid off the mortgage. They have two properties and some deposits in City Z. Mingzhe saves money on food and expenses. He spends not more than a few dollars a year, which is enough for him to live to adulthood.
After the case was closed, the police returned the plasticine figurine to Mingzhe.
After the police left, the plasticine figurine, who had been motionless just now, suddenly came to life.
Mingzhe touched the little man’s head, pursed his lips and said softly, “Thank you for your hard work, Ge.”
___
Mingzhe moved back to the house next door to Uncle Liu’s.
This is his parents’ property, and he lives here with his grandmother.
The house at the other end of the city has much better geographical conditions than this house, but it is too far away from Mingzhe’s school.
At Chu Shici’s suggestion, Mingzhe rented out the house at the other end of the city.
Mingzhe grew up with his grandparents. His grandmother is a kind elderly woman who loves her little grandson very much.
She was hospitalised for a long time without knowing about Mingzhe’s abuse.
She has spent her whole life in the countryside and doesn’t know much. She only knows that Mingzhe studies well, is sensible and promising.
She believes whatever Mingzhe says.
The matter of renting out the house went well, and Mingzhe had a fairly stable source of income.
Two weeks have passed since Mingzhe’s parents were admitted to the hospital.
Mingzhe was beaten badly, until now, there are still light bruises on his body.
On the left side of his forehead, near the hairline, there is a scar about three centimetres in length. If there is no scar removal operation, it is estimated that it will be with him for the rest of his life.
Judging from the injuries, even if Uncle Liu and his parents were not sent to a mental hospital, they would still be imprisoned for the crime of intentional injury.
During this time, Chu Shici has been observing the male lead’s state.
Mingzhe seems to have become even more insecure.
He made a small dress for Chu Shici, stringed it with a rope, and made it into a pendant.
Wherever Mingzhe went, Chu Shici would follow.
Even taking a bath has to be brought into the bathroom and placed on the cabinet to ensure that Chu Shici is within his sight at all times.
Mingzhe is on sick leave and hasn’t been to school recently.
For several Saturdays in a row, he didn’t go to the internet cafe to see his group.
After Chu Shici taught him how to pay various expenses, he just stayed in the house and didn’t go anywhere.
He sticks to Chu Shici every day, and often stares at him in a daze. Vitality jumps up and down, fluctuating wildly between 10 and 30.
On Monday nights, grandma went out to the square to dance as usual.
Mingzhe sat at the desk, playing with his little Superman.
Chu Shici touched his hand and asked worriedly: “Xiao Zhe, how are you doing recently? If you have anything on your mind, you can tell me.”
Mingzhe didn’t say a word, and there was no expression on his face.
“You haven’t spoken for two days, and I’m worried.”
As if to reassure him, Mingzhe hummed.
Chu Shici tried to empathise, “Is it that the previous incident left you with a psychological shadow?”
He flew in front of Mingzhe and gently rubbed his cheek, “It’s okay, Mingzhe, they’ve all been admitted to the hospital, and none of them won’t come out for more than ten years. You’re still young, and you’ve already applied for government subsidies, so you don’t have to worry about money. No one will beat you in the future, you are safe, Xiao Zhe.”
Mingzhe shook his head silently, and continued to fiddle with the plasticine with his head down.
Chu Shici couldn’t get a response, and started flying in front of him, calling Xiao Zhe while flying.
He wanted to annoy Mingzhe by making noise.
It’s better to be angry or irritable than to have no emotion at all.
But Mingzhe never gets irritated when it comes to him.
Chu Shici harassed him for more than 20 minutes, but Mingzhe still looked at him quietly.
When he was tired from flying, Mingzhe reached out to catch him, put it on his lips and kissed him lightly.
Chu Shici flinched back, “Don’t kiss me, I was stained with a lot of blood last time, although the police cleaned me up, there must be bacteria on my body.”
These words seemed to hit a nerve, his eyes gradually turning red, “Gege, am I a freak?”
Chu Shici observed him.
There was a trace of uneasiness and guilt on that face that had always been expressionless, “Am I going too far…?”
Chu Shici raised his head blankly, “You mean sending your parents and Uncle Liu to a mental hospital. You did it for self-protection. You just sent them to prison, and they can come out after a few years. When the time comes they will still want to beat you, even though they are your parents in name, they don’t love you at all. Don’t think too much, this is the punishment they deserve.”
Mingzhe shook his head, “Not this.”
When Mingzhe cried, he hardly made a sound and showed very little expression.
Like an actor with extremely poor acting skills, it is like he dripped a few drops of eye drops into his eyes. The crying scene looks extremely raw and hard to empathise with.
Only when he wanted to win sympathy would he cry deliberately, pretending to be weak and pitiful.
Now Mingzhe is crying quietly.
Tears fell on Chu Shici’s head, waking him up instantly.
He hesitated and said, “Do you think that you’ve wronged me?”
Mingzhe was silent for a while, “You are very good to me, I used you, ge. I also deceived the police, you are all good people, you all want to protect me.”
He covered his face guiltily: “I’m a liar. I’ve been afraid since they were admitted to the hospital. I’m afraid that you will be angry with me and you will be disappointed in me.”
Expressing the uneasiness in his heart in one breath, Mingzhe immediately grabbed Chu Shici, as if he was afraid that he would disappear.
Chu Shici pondered for a long time, then poked at the system: ‘Tong-ge, why do I not think that he did anything wrong.’
this chapter was hijacked
The system is working on the halo, [It’s too normal, he is a sweet campus romance novel’s male lead, not a male lead who robs and steals. When pressured, he would just hide in the room and sulk. If this was replaced by a showbiz novel, those three people would have been dismantled into parts long ago.]
It paused, then suddenly laughed strangely, [If Mingzhe is a black bellied idol, do you think he will make a small cage and lock you up. You can’t go anywhere, you can only be his little plasticine figurine. Tsktsk, so exciting, bondage play.]
‘Ge, calm down. I am a married man, and Mingzhe is only 12 years old.’
[Yeah, I remembered. Then you hurry up and raise the male lead. I want to eat the dog food of the male and female lead. I also like sweet campus romance novels.]
‘…’
Because of the guilt, Mingzhe couldn’t eat well, and couldn’t sleep well.
He is afraid that when he opens his eyes one day, Little Superman will point at him accusingly, ‘You disappoint me so much Mingzhe, I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person.’
Then turn around and walk away.
Mingzhe’s dreams these days are all scenes of Chu Shici leaving without saying goodbye.
After Chu Shici coaxed for a long time, Mingzhe came out of his fear.
He rubbed his eyes and asked with a sob: “Are you really not angry?”
“I wanted to stab them to death a long time ago. There’s nothing to be angry about. They have already threatened your life and safety. If you don’t lock them up, you may be beaten to death. I can understand that you want to protect yourself.”
“You are not disappointed? Will you leave?”
Chu Shici shook his head.
After getting his guarantee, Mingzhe’s vitality suddenly jumped to 40.
Chu Shici and the system were stunned as if they had been splashed with chicken blood.
In the last world, Su Zheyan rose little by little, but here with Mingzhe, every increase is at least ten points. The descent is also fast, like riding a turbo drop.
Chu Shici was held in Mingzhe’s hands, and Mingzhe whispered in his ears.
“Ge, it’s agreed. You will stay with me forever and ever.”
___
Since getting the guarantee from Chu Shici, Mingzhe’s mental state has improved a lot.
He went back to school and continued his studies. He and his grandma depended on each other for life and lived a normal and safe life.
When Saturday came again, Mingzhe put Chu Shici on the table and explained everything about going to the underground internet cafe.
Teachers often teach them not to go to that kind of place, and there is a sign on the wall of the internet cafe that minors should not enter.
To Mingzhe’s knowledge, he went to a place he shouldn’t have gone.
Chu Shici didn’t take it seriously, as long as Mingzhe didn’t follow others’ bad habits, he wouldn’t care even if he went to the bar.
With the support of Chu Shici, Mingzhe seems to have found a confidant.
Before going to the Internet cafe, he whispered all the things he encountered.
At the end, Mingzhe said with a blushing face, “Happy Boy should be an adult man, pretending to be a rich young master. Now many girls in the group have a crush on him. I think this is dangerous, and I worry that he is a paedophile.”
Pedophilia was a word that Chu Shici taught him, and Mingzhe firmly remembered it.
Chu Shici took out his plasticine notebook, “I’m ashamed to say, this notebook of mine is not a decoration, it can really access the Internet. Last time when you brought up a vote for the group to eliminate Happy Boy, I was the one who spoke up for you.”
“Superman Little Princess, I noticed.”
Mingzhe felt that Chu Shici’s assisting skills were poor, but he didn’t have the nerve to say so.
He found a magnifying glass and aimed it at the pocket laptop, trying to read the small print on the screen.
“Gege, what do you do in the group?”
“Chatting with everyone, trying to find the wolf. There are three people in the group who have problems, and they are probably in cahoots with each other. I don’t know who the other two are except for Happy Boy.”
Mingzhe frowned slightly, “Three?”
“It’s three, I’m sure of it.”
why dont you read on the translators webpage
Mingzhe didn’t ask how he was sure, but just meditated quietly.
After a while, he asked in a low voice, “Who do you suspect?”
“The lemongrass fairy, the dancing rabbit, I continue to be alone, and drowned fish.”
“It’s not drowned fish. He asked me for a leave once. He said that he had to help his family look after the store after school so he didn’t have much time to be online. And not to kick him out of the group.”
While the two were talking, Chu Shici’s small notebook rang.
A greeting message from a dancing rabbit, nothing special.
The two chatted for a while, and the topic turned to ‘how to deal with sexual harassment’ again.
The rabbit’s statement was still the same as before, let him tolerate it to death.
When Chu Shici sent the message, Mingzhe’s unwavering voice came from his ear.
“Why are you discussing such a thing?”
Chu Shici scrolled through his previous chat records, and Mingzhe held a magnifying glass and frowned in thought.
After a while, he rubbed his sore eyes, “Ge, if you suspect that there is something wrong with the rabbit, then your starting point is wrong.”
Chu Shici looked up, “She is troubled by sexual harassment, and my character is also a little girl who is sexually harassed.”
“It’s too simple. You will post a post in a while. Just say that you are having dinner tonight, and your uncle holds you in his arms and touches you. You feel very scared and your body hurts. You don’t know what’s going on.”
After Mingzhe finished speaking, Little Superman stared at him in shock.
“What’s wrong?”
“How do you know so much? I read the chat records of your group, and you’ve never said it so bluntly.”
“I have no experience, but you said that paedophiles are perverts who like to touch children. I only need to work with this, and I can roughly guess what they will do. Make it a bit vague, but the scene needs to be at home. Your parents are beside you but ignoring all of this as it goes on. See who will reach out to help you.”
Chu Shici did as he said.
After a while, two messages popped up one after another.
Happy boy: [I saw your activity, don’t be afraid. If you feel uncomfortable, tell your gege.]*
*(referring to himself as brother)
Dancing Rabbit: [Pain? Where does it hurt?]
Chu Shici chose to reply to the rabbit first.
[Chest pain, it hurts to death. Jiejie, I listened to you and didn’t resist, but he didn’t stop.]
Dancing Rabbit: [Are you injured? Show it to your jiejie.]
Superman Little Princess: [The phone can’t take pictures, I’m sad.]
There was silence for a long time, and another new message came, [Is there anyone around, if not, tell your jiejie what happened to you in detail, and your jiejie will help you.]
[There’s no one around, jiejie, how should I say it?]
[Don’t be afraid, I’m just like you. Tell me how he touched you, did he lift your clothes and touched you with his hands.]
Mingzhe did not see the following messages.
Chu Shici covered the screen to prevent him from seeing it, and took a peek at the screen himself.
In fact, after only seeing the first half, Chu Shici’s heart sank.
Mingzhe lacks experience and is still thinking about what is wrong.
Chu Shici, a filthy adult, has already figured out what is wrong.
The children in the group were cheated on, and Mingzhe was no exception.
This rabbit was not a victim at all, she sneaked into the group to brainwash little girls.
Make friends with other little girls in the group. Gain their trust under the pretext of being sympathetic to each other.
Then reverse indoctrination, persuading them to give up when they encounter harassment in the future.
Falsely claiming that she is also a female victim, arousing a little girl’s desire to confide. Obtaining private information from their mouths, using the identity of a close sister, under the pretense of comforting them, but is actually engaging in verbal sexual harassment.
The rabbit has been lurking in the group for too long, and knows everyone well. She often tells others of her pain, which has already defined the thinking of the people in the group.
Even Mingzhe regarded her as a poor girl and felt sympathy for her experience.
Chu Shici didn’t know whether the rabbit behind the screen was a man or a woman.
Whether these people are doing it as some sort of sick pastime or they are sharing these stories as some form of trophy, Chu Shici doesn’t know.
Mingzhe thought for a while, and then realised, “There is no need to ask such detailed questions, something is wrong with her.”
While Chu Shici was perfunctory to the rabbit, he clarified the relationship.
Mingzhe took out his notebook and wrote and drew on it.
If the three wolves were acting on their own, Mingzhe would not be attacked by the group when he tried to vote out Happy Boy.
The three wolves are a gang, they cover each other’s backs and know about each other’s existence.
There must be something wrong with Happy Boy. The little girls in the group have a crush on him and regard him as a male god.
Dancing Rabbit joined the group as a victim, and has maintained close contact with the girls in the group for a long time. Obtaining trust and brainwashing everyone step by step.
They play different roles, the only thing in common is that they are all approaching little girls.
Chu Shici always felt that something was wrong, as if a vital link was missing.
Mingzhe didn’t know what brainwashing was, and he didn’t think about it on that level either.
Chu Shici never explained why there were three people, and Mingzhe didn’t doubt him either.
The two stared at each other, and with their poor imagination, they couldn’t think of what the purpose of those three people was.
Just then, Happy Boy sent another message.
[I have a group here, and everyone in it has encountered the same thing as you, do you want to join it?]
Chu Shici was slightly taken aback.
The missing link seemed to be delivered to his doorstep.
