MMB Chapter 006 Rebellious Father, Unhuman
Chapter 006 Rebellious Father, Unhuman
cold.
It's fucking cold.
The evening breeze in Tokyo doesn't feel like a temperate maritime climate; it feels more like a stepmother's slap, hitting your face again and again.
Lin Fan huddled on a park bench, the nearly expired bento box in his hand already stiffened by the wind.
"I can't live like this anymore."
Lin Fan sighed, stuck his chopsticks into the rice, as if he were offering incense to his stomach.
I originally thought this trip abroad, which my dad tricked me into, was a "government-funded trip" and a chance to "bring glory to the country," but it has now turned into a "Tokyo Wanderings."
Not being able to speak the language, and constantly having to think about how to kill yourself.
It's only because he's so carefree; any other player would probably be crying and going to the embassy by now.
"Buzz—"
My phone suddenly vibrated in my pocket.
Lin Fan took it out and saw a video call request flashing on the screen.
The profile picture is a peonies symbolizing wealth and prosperity, with the caption: "Empress Dowager".
Mom?
Lin Fan felt a warmth in his heart, and his eyes almost welled up with tears.
There's no one better than a mother in the world. She must have seen me not moving for a while and was worried that I was hungry or cold.
connected.
The screen shook a few times, and then a huge face that took up the entire screen appeared.
His stubble chin, the nose hairs peeking out of his nostrils, and those old eyes that seemed to say, "I'm so disappointed in you."
Not my mom.
It's an old man.
Lin Fan forced back the tears of emotion that had welled up in his eyes, and put on a deadpan expression instead.
"Why is it you?"
"Why can't it be me?"
On the other end of the screen, Lin Jianguo seemed to be in the toilet, with the background noise of an exhaust fan whirring.
His eyes scanned Lin Fan up and down through the screen, and his brows furrowed instantly.
Immediately afterwards, a heartfelt greeting from her biological father came through:
"Son, why aren't you dead yet?"
Lin Fan's hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
Listen, listen.
Is this human talk?
Even loan collectors from online lending platforms will at least ask, "Have you raised the money yet?"
And this father of his own, the first thing he asked was, "Why aren't you dead yet?"
"Old Lin, tell me the truth."
Lin Fan took a deep breath, trying to keep his tone calm.
"Are you my biological child?"
Are you trying to kill me or fatten me up?
"Stop being so cheeky!"
Lin Jianguo lowered his voice, looking like a thief.
"I just saw the news! Miao's parade convoy ended half an hour ago!"
Aside from a few stampedes, nothing else happened at the scene!
What are you good for?
"What am I good for? I'm just eating the wind!"
Lin Fan held up the hardened lunchbox in his hand and waved it at the camera.
"See that? A bento box that's about to expire!"
It was the convenience store clerk who took pity on me and gave me some!
I'm penniless right now, I don't even have enough money to buy a bottle of pesticide!
"Don't make excuses!"
Lin Jianguo looked disdainful.
"Back when I was gnawing on tree bark in a cat-ear cave, I wasn't as pretentious as you!"
If you don't have money to buy pesticides, why don't you climb up a high-voltage power line? Or jump into a river?
As long as you don't give up, there's always a way to overcome difficulties!
"Climbing high-voltage power lines?"
Lin Fan sneered.
"The utility poles here are covered with spikes to prevent climbing. I was pricked like a hedgehog before I even climbed up."
Jump into the river?
I'm broke, so even if I wanted to go to Tokyo Bay, I couldn't afford it!
"If it weren't for your terrible idea today, I might be dead!"
Lin Fan became more and more excited as he spoke.
"I listened to you and rushed towards the float, only to be carried back like a chick by a two-meter-tall bodyguard!"
I wanted to jump onto the subway, but I couldn't even get through the turnstile!
I want to jump ship to a construction site; they have three Dobermans there, all bigger than me!
"Tokyo is my nemesis! I can't even die if I want to!"
Upon hearing Lin Fan's accusations, Lin Jianguo on the other end of the screen remained silent for two seconds.
Then, he stuck out a finger, scratched his nose, and his tone became a little strange:
"So... you really wanted to die, but you didn't succeed?"
"Nonsense! Why would I come here if I didn't want to die? To increase their GDP, of course!"
"That's good."
Lin Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief, and the expression on his old face instantly switched from "anger" to "gratification."
"I thought you'd been corrupted by the allure of capitalism and its temptations, and that you were too afraid to take the plunge."
"..."
Lin Fan was speechless.
"Old Lin, can't you at least have a little basic trust in me?"
"Okay, okay, believe it."
Lin Jianguo nodded perfunctorily, then his expression turned serious, and he pulled out a crumpled A4 sheet of paper from behind his back.
The surface was covered with densely packed, illegible characters, along with a few bright red arrows.
"Since Plan A has failed, let's execute Plan B."
Lin Jianguo held the paper up to the camera.
"Did you see that clearly? This is the latest route map that I just had my second uncle analyze... cough, this is the latest route map that I just had an expert analyze."
"expert?"
Lin Fan's lips twitched.
"We have an expert like that in our family? Someone who specializes in figuring out how to kill people?"
"Stop talking nonsense! Listen to me!"
Lin Jianguo pointed to a circle on the paper.
"That rice seedling didn't go back to the official residence after the parade; instead, it went to Akihabara!"
According to reliable sources, she'll be holding some kind of fan meeting at that... AKB48 Grand Theater in Akihabara for the next two days!
"Akihabara?" Lin Fan was taken aback.
"Yes! That's the place full of anime characters!"
A fanatical light gleamed in Lin Jianguo's eyes.
There are even more people there!
There are even more otaku... oh no, I mean anime and manga fans!
And that theater was indoors!
Imagine if you suddenly had a huge outburst in that kind of confined space...
Lin Jianguo didn't continue speaking, but instead let out a chilling "heh heh" laugh.
Lin Fan could roughly picture that scene in his mind.
Enclosed space.
[Calamity Body] erupts.
That was indeed a disaster.
"But Lao Lin, I'm in Chiyoda right now, which is several kilometers away from Akihabara."
Lin Fan touched his stomach.
"And now I'm so hungry I'm dizzy and can't walk."
"Take a taxi!"
"I have no money."
"Take the subway!"
"I have no money."
"Then scan a shared bike..."
"Old Lin, did you even understand? I said I have no money!"
Lin Jianguo was stunned.
He seemed to realize then that his son was now in a state of having "nothing but life."
"Is that so..."
Lin Jianguo said helplessly,
"Son! How about I transfer you a 200 yuan red envelope using your mom's phone?"
"two hundred?"
Lin Fan's eyes widened.
"No, are you trying to fob me off like a beggar? Is it Sakura coins or Chinese coins?"
"Chinese Yuan!" Lin Jianguo said. "Enough for you to have a good meal!"
"Get out of here!"
Lin Fan rolled his eyes. "Do you think I can spend the red envelopes here in the cherry blossom area?"
"you……"
Lin Jianguo was so angry that his beard stood on end.
"Son, how about this? It's only a few kilometers, we can walk there!"
"Walk over there?"
Lin Jianguo waved his fist, as if giving a pre-battle pep talk.
"Yes, let's go over there!"
Think about those revolutionary martyrs from back then...
Cough,
In short, this is for your own good!
"Think about it, if you were to walk over there, with your physique, you'd probably be half-dead, right?"
Lin Fan watched his performance with a blank expression.
"If you don't want to help, don't try to elevate the value of your services."
"Tsk, how can you be so insensible?"
Seeing that his soft approach wasn't working, Lin Jianguo's expression changed, and he took out his phone again and waved it.
On the phone screen was a photograph.
In the photo, a little boy, about four or five years old, wearing a bright red bib and with two patches of red on his face, is riding on a big yellow dog and grinning foolishly.
There was a noticeable puddle of water under the little boy's bottom.
Lin Fan's pupils suddenly contracted.
That was one of the darkest parts of his life that he most wanted to erase!
"I've already turned this photo into a meme."
Lin Jianguo revealed a devilish smile.
"I just need to click once in this bulk messaging assistant..."
In less than three minutes,
This photo will appear in your class group chat, your high school alumni group chat, and even your school's confession wall.
"Your dad even came up with the title: [Shocking! The truth about a certain F-rank Awakened's pants and childhood revealed!]"
Hearing his unscrupulous father's words, Lin Fan felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head.
That's a really vicious move.
This is forcing him to choose between social death and physical death!
"Are you the devil?"
"I'm the young dad."
