Chapter 27: Tang Hao's Death

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Trash school! Return my son to me!”

“Wuwuwu… my son…”

“Not involved? How are you guys not involved! If it weren’t for your school, my son wouldn’t have gone astray and gone to play games every day…”

On Monday, as soon as he arrived at the school gate, Xia Xu was stunned by the scene in front of him.

The entire school gate was surrounded by a group of people. There were even people holding up white banners. A middle-aged man and woman were crying and shouting. The woman was even more emotional. After seeing the people from the school come out, she immediately went up and fought them.

The relatives and friends of the two also rushed forward aggressively. More than a dozen people blocked the school gate, and more and more students began to gather around the school gate.

Obviously, most of the students were happy to see this happen. Firstly, they could boldly be late for morning self-study, and secondly, people liked to watch the drama.

Not only them, but more and more pedestrians also stopped to watch this drama that was unfolding.

But this drama seemed a little immoral.

Someone had died!

Xia Xu felt that something was wrong, especially when he saw that besides the principal and other leaders, Liu Xiulan, the form teacher of his class, was also among the people who came to appease them. His heart skipped a beat.

“Ma Bing, what’s going on?”

After looking around the crowd, Xia Xu squeezed into the crowd and found his deskmate Ma Bing who was standing in front of the spectators.

It seemed that he should have come early and knew the cause and effect.

“Tang Hao is dead. Those people are his parents and relatives.”

Ma Bing’s face was pale, his expression full of lingering fear.

Tang Hao was a typical trashy student. Some people were afraid of him, but in fact, many boys liked to hang out with him for various reasons.

Ma Bing and Tang Hao had a good relationship. They often went out to play online games or basketball together, and even hid in remote corners or toilets to smoke.

“How did he die?”

Xia Xu’s expression turned ugly as an unpleasant thought in his mind turned into reality.

Tang Hao was a supporting character in «Hunter», and now that he was dead, it was difficult for him not to link the two together.

Since he was a supporting character, he had to participate in the storyline. He couldn’t just die before the storyline arrived. The only possibility was that the storyline had already begun or was about to begin. His role as a supporting character had been fulfilled.

Obviously, his role was to die, which was probably to act as a catalyst for the story, or even a background board for a murderer.

“He was bitten to death by a violent beast on the way back from the internet cafe. I heard he died a horrible death. Yesterday, the police even came to find me.”

The more Ma Bing spoke, the worse his expression became.

After all, he and Tang Hao were still in the same internet cafe on Friday, while Tang Hao was bitten to death after staying up gaming for two nights at that internet cafe. There were even police officers who came to find him yesterday to understand the situation.

After learning that Tang Hao was dead, he felt a lingering fear and had not yet recovered from the shock. If he stayed overnight with Tang Hao or went to game on the same day Tang Hao died, his family might have been one of the crying people right now.

Xia Xu asked, “Did you hear it from the police?”

“Yes, I heard them say that with my own ears. As they left, they were whispering. I heard that he was mauled until he was unrecognizable. There’s… not much of him left.”

When Ma Bing said the last sentence, his face turned pale and he almost retched.

‘A violent beast? So it’s this kind of hunter…’

Xia Xu heard Ma Bing’s words and fell silent.

The police’s examination would never make a mistake. The wound caused by the bite of a violent beast was easy to distinguish from the injuries by a man-made weapon.

In the beginning, he thought that it was a ‘hunter’ who was involved in the plot of crime and spies, but now it seemed that he was wrong. The name of the plot was Hunter, and it was likely about a hunter hunting a beast.

After all, they couldn’t be hunting ‘humans’, right? Or could this storyline be about beasts hunting humans?

From the experience of «Person About to Die», these ‘storylines’ did follow the same routine, or at least similar to a movie or television drama. And no matter how the storyline of a movie or television drama changed, at least they were filmed for people to see.

This involved a problem of perspective. A movie could describe a violent beast killing a person, but it only showed the strength of a violent beast. The main topic was always the story of the protagonist group escaping from a violent beast to survive or defeat it.

If it was hunting ‘humans’, then the perspective and camera would be focused on the non-human side which was the beast. A movie with a violent beast as the main character and massacre of humans as the theme of the plot was definitely not a good story that could capture the human audience and make them feel excited.

This was definitely a bad movie. Moreover, this kind of storyline was not even worthy of being called a story since there would be no ups and downs or even a proper plot.

Therefore, the main character and theme of «Hunter» could not be a violent beast, not to mention that the violent beast killed an innocent human at the beginning. From the perspective of the plot, this was actually a plot to show brutality and incite hatred from the audience. It would naturally place the violent beast in the villain’s shoes, and it was basically impossible to cleanse its name through tragic memories.

Since the beast was the villain, there was naturally a need for a protagonist. The plot required ups and downs, and the audience’s hatred for the villain needed to be vented. Thus, the foundation of the plot was: the violent beast attacked humans, the humans were killed, and the humans that resisted and finally killed the beast.

This was then a qualified and complete story.

Taking reference to the title of the plot, «Hunter», the plot might also evolve a little, successfully changing the difficult resistance of humans. For example, the characters who were killed and those who escaped would be the supporting characters. The main character, ‘Hunter’, would then step in during a crisis, and the hero shall hunt the violent beast.

But this also had a problem. If this kind of film was placed in a village or a foreign setting, it would be quite interesting. But in a densely populated city, what kind of exciting plot could it create?

Pursuing a violent beast that escaped from the zoo?

No matter how powerful a beast was, it would only kill a few people. When the police discovered this, it would only take one or two shots. Vehicles that could be seen everywhere on the streets could also easily kill such beasts. Calling for help on the phone would allow one to quickly receive help. Without help or intervention from the police, the plot would be too far-fetched. Moreover, in this real world, such a far-fetched plot was impossible.

Therefore, it was easy to defeat the so-called violent beast, which made the storyline impossible to be exciting. At most, they would come up with some emotional storyline or a terrible survival film.

‘Unless… this violent beast is different from normal beasts!’

After thinking about it in his mind, Xia Xu felt that things were getting worse.

It was easy to solve the above problems, as long as the beast was abnormal.

In the city, where the main topic was hunters hunting abnormal creatures, he could only think of two scenarios. Either a supernatural storyline that involves ghosts, demons and gods, or a popcorn sci-fi movie like the classic genetic experiment and animal mutation, where the male protagonist came to save the world.

No matter what, if he was right, this world would be completely different from the normal parallel world he knew. His ordinary high school life in this ‘urban rebirth’ would be over.

‘Comparatively speaking, the second possibility is more likely. If this world really was a supernatural world that gives birth to monsters and demons, then it would definitely be a common sight…’

Xia Xu felt that the possibility of a monster or demon was not high.

After all, whether it was the memories of the original host, the situation of the people around him, or even the information he had obtained from the internet, this was an ordinary world similar to Earth.

From an ordinary technological world to a supernatural world with monsters, this was a huge leap in the background of the world. Demons and monsters could reproduce on their own so the impact was uncontrollable, and there could not be only one of them.

If it was really this kind of world, it was unlikely for them to be perfectly concealed until no one noticed.

It was much easier to accept mutated creatures.

Although genetically modified powerful creatures were relatively advanced black technology in both Planet Aquamarine and Earth, they had still taken the first step. The birth of mutated creatures could be explained by current theories such as biological genetics.

Moreover, this kind of ‘sci-fi film’ that focused on visual effects was the most common. The worse ones could easily find a reason for the leakage of radiation and chemicals to mutate an animal into a giant crocodile, giant anaconda or an man-eating shark, while the more reasonable ones would set the plot of experimenting with genes and cloning dinosaurs.

Just like in the superheroes film, the black technology created by the special organization, the terrifying monsters cultivated by the crazy scientists of a certain organization, there were too many possibilities. No one could say for sure what the probability was.

‘It shouldn’t be a creature with terrifying destructive power. If it really is a giant monster that can cause major casualties, then there must be a lot of supporting characters involved. There should be many other supporting characters of «Hunter» around me.’

Xia Xu comforted himself like this.

Unfortunately, the effect was not great. He couldn’t control the tartness in his mouth at all, and the worry and danger in his heart swept through his mind.

He didn’t forget that he was also a member of «Hunter»’s supporting cast. As a fellow classmate and a supporting character, his situation was highly similar to Tang Hao’s.

Tang Hao had already received his bento box at the beginning of the plot, so how far would his demise be?

The fact that the monsters did not have a large-scale destructive power meant that the others were relatively safe, which was meaningless to him, who was supposed to be involved.

In theory, mutated monsters might not be considered ‘supernatural creatures’, but for him, what was the difference between the two? Being able to act as prey of the plot meant that he or she was definitely not weak, and was a definitely extremely dangerous existence that could easily take his life.

He had never fought in his two lifetimes, nor had he encountered anything life-threatening. But now, he was told that he might encounter an unknown monster. Of course he would panic..
