Chapter 61: Forced by Life
This scene felt like a knife stabbing into Lin Tian’s heart. Suppressing the anger within, he softly said, "Come out, everyone come out!"
No one dared to move, because Lin Tian was someone they had never seen before, and nobody dared to listen to what he said, let alone act on it, fearing that punishment awaited the next second.
"Come out, all the bad guys have been caught, you don’t have to be afraid anymore!" Lin Tian felt an inexplicable sadness as he gently reassured them.
Finally, under Lin Tian’s continuous encouragement, the two children overcame their worries and dared to boldly walk out, but the five or six-year-old child stumbled and fell after just two steps.
Obviously, being confined for a long time has led to muscle atrophy.
When the three children followed Lin Tian’s steps out of the basement and saw the light again, Lin Tian truly didn’t know what to say.
The four children locked in the basement were all skin and bones, and the fifteen or sixteen-year-old without legs was barely breathing, yet upon seeing the crippled young man with curly hair, he went berserk, frantically using his hands to support his body and swiftly moved towards him...
"Give me back my legs, give me back my legs!" The child sobbed, rushing at the young man with curly hair whose hands and feet were bound, madly biting him to vent his inner resentment.
At that moment, Lin Tian finally understood what the shop owner had said!
Why are there so many disabled beggars?
Why did this fifteen or sixteen-year-old child go mad for the young man with curly hair as soon as he got out?
"Heaven’s sins can be forgiven, but one’s own sins cannot be; this probably refers to people like him!"
Watching the young man with curly hair, whose limbs had already been broken, being bitten mercilessly by the child while letting out horrifying screams, Lin Tian muttered to himself.
There’s no reporting when the time is not right; one should still do more good deeds!
"Don’t just stand there; there’s food inside, go eat something!" Seeing one frail child after another, and the disabled people, Lin Tian remembered the young man with curly hair bringing out instant noodles from inside, and told everyone to get food from inside.
Everyone rushed into the room like a pack of starved wolves, devouring the food inside ravenously. Looking at them, it was hard to tell how long they’d been hungry!
"Let us go, we won’t dare again!"
"Big brother, please, give us a chance to live!"
"Brother, just ask for money, as long as you let us go!" Seeing his henchmen start to beg for mercy, Ah Bao, as the boss, looked up at Lin Tian.
"Money? Do you think the things you’ve done can be solved with money?" Lin Tian suppressed the anger inside.
"Brother, we have no grievances or enmity with you, why do you have to meddle? What happened at the lottery shop last time was my fault, please spare us, little brother!" Seeing that money didn’t work, Ah Bao continued to plead.
"Let’s not talk about the lottery shop!"
Seeing the young man with curly hair being bitten, pieces of flesh torn away by the child, Lin Tian’s eyes gradually turned red: "Did those children ever do anything to you? Why treat them like this?"
"No grievance, we were driven to this by life!" Ah Bao innocently explained.
"Driven to this by life!?" Lin Tian sneered, picking up a machete from the ground.
Pointing at the child without legs: "But have you thought about his life? Who’s going to drive his life from now on?"
"Does your momentary greed have to ruin someone else’s entire life?"
Ah Bao was speechless at Lin Tian’s words and was pondering how to respond when he saw Lin Tian walking over with the machete.
"L-little brother, wh-what are you going to do?" Ah Bao stuttered in fear.
"Let you feel their pain, let you experience being driven by life!" Lin Tian swung the machete, immediately slicing Ah Bao’s arm open, scarlet blood sprayed out like a fountain, splattering everywhere.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!" Ah Bao screamed in agony, bellowing, "You... you just wait, if I survive, I’ll make sure you die a horrible death!"
Lin Tian smirked coldly, face as calm as a dead sea, he liked threats the most.
Because it only solidified his resolve to act ruthlessly.
Unexpectedly, even after all this, Ah Bao still dared to threaten him, Lin Tian sneered: "I admire your courage, daring to talk back at this time!"
"Since you don’t want to live, then die!"
The machete in Lin Tian’s hand raised high, as if it could drop at any moment.
"Gulp... don’t act impulsively!" Swallowing hard, Ah Bao’s pupils dilated, staring at Lin Tian’s hand holding the machete, body trembling nonstop!
Due to excessive blood loss, Ah Bao looked as pale as paper.
Although Ah Bao was a gang leader, the biggest scene he had ever seen was a dozen people brawling, at most slashing people.
But murder? He had never seen it, let alone being on the verge of being murdered now!
Even though Ah Bao considered himself weathered, at this moment he was unsettled, full of regret, why was he so impulsive?
Clearly knowing the other party was a fierce god, why provoke him? Isn’t this seeking one’s own death!
Now Ah Bao completely saw it clearly, this person in front of him truly didn’t care about Du Dahai’s reputation, otherwise, he wouldn’t be acting so boldly, and at the same time, Ah Bao was full of doubts, isn’t he just a student?
How is he so formidable?
The curly-haired young man and others nearby were also frightened by Lin Tian’s actions; no matter how they calculated, they never expected that this seemingly harmless young man, once acting, was like a tiger ready to kill their boss!
"Such a ruthless person!"
"Gulp..."
No one dared to say another word, fearing that Lin Tian’s knife would be aimed at them next.
This young man was truly terrifying, with formidable skills and brutal actions; a mere threat actually led him to consider killing Ah Bao to prevent future trouble!
Just thinking about it made them shiver. Where did this young man come from, and how did we encounter him!
Several people wore bitter smiles!
Unlike them, the children looked bewildered at the scene before them, dominated and beaten for so long, they had forgotten what they should do or could do, only knowing the endless cycle of going out begging, begging!
These were a group of pitiful children, the shop owner’s words about the pitiful having something detestable had no place here.
This wasn’t their choice, they were forced into this!
Body and hair were given by parents, who would sever their limbs for life?
Surely no one would, not even the most ruthless would harm themselves.
Were these children volunteers?
Obviously not!
They were just pitiful people, worthy of others’ sympathy! Deserving of compassion!
