The opponent's superpower is regeneration, which can also be used on their own kind, so the damned little trash managed to survive again.
"Alright, it's your turn to appear."
Someone walked over, squatted down in front of the little good-for-nothing, and lectured him once again: "This time you must learn to fight back. You're not human, so don't think of yourself as one."
"Kill and eat the people who fight you, and you will become stronger."
"If you still can't do it today, then you'll be used as animal feed and fed to others, understand?"
The dirty little wretch clutched its feathers tightly, its eyes glazed over. It listened to the person in front of it talk incessantly for a long time before finally saying in a trembling voice, "No, I don't want to be animal feed."
The man smiled with satisfaction: "Very good. If you don't want to be fodder, then go eat people. If you don't get stronger, no one will want to keep feeding a piece of trash like you."
The little good-for-nothing didn't say anything.
The man felt his encouragement had been very effective, and he enthusiastically began to assess the results: "Come on, tell me, what is your goal?"
Get stronger.
The man almost always has to say those two words for him.
He looked encouragingly at the little good-for-nothing in front of him, waiting for him to state his goal.
However, after waiting for quite a while...
Just as the man was about to lose his patience, the little good-for-nothing finally spoke, his voice trembling: "My goal, my goal—"
He stopped, and after a long while, he said in a tearful voice, "I...I want to go to kindergarten."
My uncle said he would sew him a nice schoolbag and send him to kindergarten.
"grass."
After trying to educate him for so long, he was furious at the result. He looked at the little piece of trash on the ground in disbelief and anger, his voice almost distorted: "You little deformed freak! Isn't your nature, your goal, to eat people and become stronger?!"
A little deformed child said his goal was to go to kindergarten.
This is absolutely absurd.
At this very moment, on the stage, Yu An remained seated, still standing. He wore a deer mask, obscuring his expression.
Xie Chiyuan spoke to him, but he did not respond.
He just stared stubbornly at the audience.
Chapter 45
The bloody match drew screams from the audience, but their screams stemmed not from fear, but from excitement.
Yu An pried Xie Chiyuan's large hand off his ear.
"I'm fine."
He kept a straight face and earnestly said that he was fine.
Xie Chiyuan's attention was no longer on the stage; he had been closely observing Yu An.
There is no order or moral constraints in the underground arena; everyone wears a mask, and no one can see the face behind the mask.
I don't know how much time passed.
Someone whispered something in Xie Chiyuan's ear. Xie Chiyuan stood up and told Yu An, "I'm going to get the answers. I'll be back in a few minutes. Don't move from here."
Yu An nodded.
He really doesn't want to move now.
Xie Chiyuan walked very fast, eager to get back quickly. And no sooner had he left than someone sat down in his seat, next to Yu An.
"Hello."
The man who sat down wore a cat mask and had a gentle voice. But this gentleness was different from Ruan Ke's; the latter's gentleness was like a spring breeze.
This person's gentleness made Yu An's first reaction to be wary.
He didn't respond, but continued to look straight ahead at the audience.
"Do you like this kind of competition?" the man continued, "The underground arena will be closing soon. If you want to see new matches, you can—"
Seeing that silence wouldn't stop the conversation, Yu An coldly interrupted him: "I came with someone else."
He repeated Xie Chiyuan's words: "I am his person!"
man:"……"
The man swallowed his interrupted words and narrowed his eyes as he sized up Yu An.
Yu An sat upright, not giving him a second glance.
His mind was initially foggy, like a jumbled mess. Some random, incoherent thoughts, perhaps remnants of his memories, were swirling around in his head.
Thanks to this person's interruption, his attention was diverted, and he was even able to extricate himself from his drowsy state.
With Xie Chiyuan not by her side, Yu An didn't want to talk to anyone.
The man sitting next to him tried to greet him but failed, and then tried to start a different conversation, but that didn't work either.
A few more moments passed.
The audience was temporarily cleared out, and the host said with a smile, "After watching for so long, everyone must be tired. To help you relax, we've prepared a new program!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience applauded in support.
The host's smile deepened as he continued, "Next up is a very special little creature, a small deformed animal that just arrived!"
"This little deformed creature is very timid and doesn't dare to eat people. However, it only becomes stronger by consuming flesh and blood. Viewers, would you like to play a little pet-raising game?"
"If you invest in this little deformed creature now, we will refund 5% of your investment once it comes on stage and eats someone."
"He kept eating it, so we kept refunding him."
Some astute viewers immediately calculated that as long as this little deformed creature ate 20 people, they would break even. Eating the 21st person would give them an extra 5%.
In an instant, many people became interested.
The investment money was pouring in, and the person in charge of the "little idiot" in the back office was all smiles.
He picked up the little loser in front of him and fiercely instructed him, "I'm telling you, you have to eat your opponent right from the start! Otherwise, these spectators won't buy it."
The little rascal lost weight in just a few days.
He kicked his short legs, trying to break free, but after not eating for several days, he had no strength left.
"Alright, you have three minutes left, get on the field now."
The audience was prepared, but on stage, Yu An was so annoyed by the persistent flirts that she wanted to cover her ears.
fine.
Xie Chiyuan said he would be back soon, and he was back very soon. In less than two minutes, he came to Yu An's side and called Yu An to a new seat.
After Yu An sat down, Xie Chiyuan waved his long arm and encircled him.
The man who had been flirting with Yu An earlier got up and left upon seeing this.
As soon as the man reached the corner, someone followed him.
"Let's go."
The man said calmly, "There's no need to stay here any longer."
The person following behind asked in bewilderment, "Mr. Xia, the little deformed child you sent is about to be served—"
"Ignore it."
Xia Tian remained indifferent and said nothing: "He's just a piece of trash in the underground arena. Even if Xie Chiyuan finds him, it won't be our fault. That's good, it saves them the trouble of searching."
Found in the underground area, this small deformity has nothing to do with the North District.
If it was found outside the underground arena, then this little deformed creature would truly be considered as having been smuggled back from the North District.
It's just a burden; I can get rid of it however I want.
"By the way," Xia Tianwu asked, as if he had just thought of something, "This little good-for-nothing doesn't know much, does he? Has he been behaving himself these past few days?"
The person following behind felt a chill run down their spine, but then calmly said, "He's been behaving himself these past few days and doesn't know anything."
"Okay, that's good."
After Xia Tianwu left, Yu An looked at the arm still draped over his shoulder and poked it, saying, "She's gone."
Xie Chiyuan did not remove his arm and continued to maintain that posture.
"Be good, it's easier for me to talk to you like this."
Xie Chiyuan lowered his head as he spoke, and told him about the answer he had received: "A10 is not in the North District, but I have many more clues."
"He's in the underground stadium right now."
Xie Chiyuan's answer initially disappointed Yu An, but then it energized him again.
He straightened up slightly and looked around.
The underground area is so big and so chaotic.
What's Duoduo doing here?
Xie Chiyuan was still saying to him, "I'm planning to go look for it, do you want to come with me?"
"want!"
Just as Yu An finished answering, the protagonist of the simulation game that the host had just introduced was about to take the stage.
The dirty little protagonist was thrown onto the stage, and without even looking at his opponent, he took off running back.
audience:"……"
That's not quite right.
This little thing seems like it might actually make them pay!
The viewers who had already invested started yelling, "Come back here! Damn it, is this some kind of scam to rip us off?!"
The young protagonist on stage ignored the audience's shouts and staggered as he ran out, trying to escape.
