Chapter 749: Earth Is Too Dangerous
"Ah!"
As Xiao Yi uttered a command, the security guard felt a tremendous force transmitted through his hands, and his entire body involuntarily slid backward for three or four meters until he slammed harshly into a wall behind him, finally coming to a stop. However, the impact caused his stomach to churn, and the pain in the area he hit made him cry out involuntarily.
The other security guard was completely dumbstruck. He watched his partner being flung backward as if in a television show, slamming against the wall and then doubling over with his hands clutching his chest in pain. His gaze then turned to the calm Xiao Yi, filled with disbelief.
This... This is too unreal, right?
This pretty boy, does he really have such great strength?
But... if it wasn’t real, his colleague wouldn’t need to fake it for him, right?
It took a while before he finally snapped back to reality, cautiously glanced at Xiao Yi next to him, and quickly dashed towards his colleague, anxiously asking about his condition.
"Are you alright?"
Xiao Yi didn’t pay any attention to the two security guards; instead, he walked directly to a beggar nearby, examining the grease and the unusual smell emanating from him, and frowned.
The beggar did not answer Xiao Yi’s question but merely paused his movements briefly before continuing to pick up trash from the ground.
"What exactly is going on here? How did you end up in this state?"
Xiao Yi watched the beggar’s movements, seemingly unconcerned, but continued to ask with a frown.
This was his greatest confusion.
It was also the reason he was unsure when he saw him in the car earlier, thinking he might have seen wrongly and didn’t dare to confirm it was him. He couldn’t believe that this person in front of him, the one who had been spurred on by Qian Xiaofeng and Qian Xiaojie, who had confronted him intending to kill him—referred to as Uncle Qiu by the Qian brothers—had become what he was now.
Back then, his aura was so fierce; he looked so heroic. It was unimaginable that he would turn into this lifeless beggar, barely breathing as if he had already lost his vitality...
"I’m fine this way; there’s nothing wrong with it,"
the beggar finally looked up at Xiao Yi, silent for a while before slowly speaking.
"Nothing wrong? You, a man and a master of the Bone Tempering Period, have turned into this, what is this? Is it giving up on yourself? Or is it pretending to be carefree? Playing the sage? Playing out life experiences? Playing ’Mortal World’ games?"
Xiao Yi scoffed coldly.
"I..."
Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s words, the once listless beggar suddenly seemed like he had his tail stepped on, touching the deepest pain in his soul. His expression finally turned agitated, his hands clenched tightly into fists, and he crushed a piece of steel he was holding directly in his grip. Glaring angrily at Xiao Yi, he looked like he could stand up and fight for his life at any moment.
Not far away, the two security guards glanced this way, their eyes filled with resentment. They were considering whether to call a group of their peers to come over and give Xiao Yi, this pretty boy, a harsh lesson to avenge their grudge. Their eyes happened to fall on the steel plate in the beggar’s hands. Watching his hands deeply sink into the steel, forcibly folding a flat plate of steel as if it were a piece of paper, both of their faces instantly turned pale, and they involuntarily shivered!
I must be seeing things, yes, I must be!
This is absolutely impossible; that’s a steel plate we’re talking about, nearly half a centimeter thick!
Both security guards rubbed their eyes vigorously at the same time, then once again widened their eyes and looked forward.
It’s not an illusion; it’s real!
Seeing the situation clearly again, the two almost simultaneously shivered again, their legs trembling, nearly falling to the ground together.
What kind of monster of a beggar is this!
Could it be that I have encountered one of those aliens hidden on Earth as the legends say?
The faces of the two security guards turned deathly pale all at once, especially the one who had just pushed the beggar around and nearly hit him with a stick. He almost wet himself out of fear.
The earth is too dangerous, run!
With great difficulty, two security guards somewhat regained their composure, exchanged glances, and without any more thoughts of standing their ground or retaliation, they took off at a sprint towards the interior.
The departure of the two security guards did not escape Xiao Yi’s notice, but he merely looked slightly stunned for a moment, wondering why the two suddenly acted up. He then dismissed them from his mind and turned his attention back to the beggar, observing his infuriated expression with a quiet joy. However, the corner of his eye held a hint of mockery as he said, "What? Feel insulted? Want to hit me? Come on then, hit me."
"Although you are the instructor’s friend, please don’t go too far!"
The beggar clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with anger as he stared back at Xiao Yi, seemingly on the verge of losing control and standing to throw a fierce punch at Xiao Yi’s face. Ultimately, however, he didn’t raise his hand, only continuing to stare coldly at Xiao Yi.
"Do you still remember the instructor?"
Xiao Yi sneered at the man before him, "If you remember the instructor, do you think he’d be proud of what you’ve become?"
"I..."
The beggar’s posture suddenly stiffened, his face betraying a mix of sadness, helplessness, and despair. It took him a while before he fiercely grabbed his messy hair, and like questioning or crying, he hysterically yelled, "I’ve become like this already, what else do you want from me, what do you really want! I’m just a useless wreck now, is it wrong for me to wish to end this miserable life?"
Xiao Yi watched the beggar who buried his head in his knees like a madman, his eyes revealing a hint of sympathy, and he sighed softly.
After a while, he slowly said, "The question isn’t what I want you to do; it’s what you want for yourself!"
"I want to go back to the side of the instructor, I want to continue following him, to atone for my sins, but is that possible?"
The beggar, appearing almost mad, red-eyed, looked at Xiao Yi, and without waiting for a response, lowered his head and began to cry again, "It’s not possible, not at all. I no longer have a chance, I’m just a wreck! The instructor doesn’t care about me anymore!"
"Do you really want to go back?"
Xiao Yi looked at the beggar before him and sighed again.
"Of course, but it’s no use now. The instructor said once you leave, don’t come back. He doesn’t want me anymore, won’t give me another chance!"
The beggar tightly gripped his own hair, his eyes revealing a trace of sorrow, "I’m already a wreck, of no use to anyone."
"Actually, your instructor is just protecting you."
Xiao Yi looked at the beggar, watching him cry like a lost, heartbroken child, and slowly said, "If you really want to return, I can help you."
"Really? Are you serious?"
The words of Xiao Yi ignited a spark of hope within the beggar, who suddenly sprung up from the ground, reaching out to grab Xiao Yi’s hand. But as soon as he touched Xiao Yi’s hand, he retracted as if electrocuted, his face showing an embarrassed expression, "Sorry, I was too excited just now, my hands are a bit dirty. What you just said, is it true? Can you really help me return and atone?"
"I can make you an offer, but I can’t help you unconditionally. You have to agree to one condition."
Xiao Yi slowly nodded.
"Okay, tell me, what’s the condition? Whatever it is, be it killing or walking through fire and water, I agree, as long as you let me return! To be by the side of the instructor!"
The beggar’s eyes showed an indescribable excitement as he nodded vigorously, bobbing his head like a pecking chicken. In his urgency, he once again reached out to grasp Xiao Yi’s hand, but fortunately, he came to his senses just in time before touching him and swiftly retracted his hand.
"I don’t need you to commit murder or walk through fire and water; I just need you to help me protect someone."
Xiao Yi, knowing the inner turmoil of the beggar, paid no heed to his clumsiness, and merely slowly stated his condition.
"Protect someone? No problem, just tell me, who should I protect?"
Upon hearing Xiao Yi’s condition, so simple, the beggar was momentarily taken aback, then almost immediately, as if afraid that Xiao Yi would change his mind, he eagerly pressed.
"Jianguo Group’s Chen Jianguo."
Xiao Yi nodded, mentioning Chen Jianguo’s name, a choice that had just occurred to him. He had been concerned about Chen Jianguo’s safety lately and the man before him was a very good candidate, fit in terms of both capability and background. Agreeing to the beggar’s condition wasn’t difficult for him; he believed Shangguan would not deny his request. And when he had seen the tear in his eyes, the sorrow there, he had already resolved to help him.
