The System Teaches You How to Be Human

Chapter 36 - The Crybaby's Endless Escape (17)



Si Yisi seemed completely unconcerned about traps or anything of the sort as he chased after it.

At this moment, Mo Wuchang felt that the boss’s legs were much longer than his, and every step he took seemed to stir up the wind, making it impossible to catch up no matter how hard he tried.

Luckily, the rental house wasn’t very big, and in just a short moment, they arrived at the first floor and found the Paper Ghost; who had turned back into the butcher’s appearance.

But…

Si Yisi: “…”

Mo Wuchang: “…”

Both the man and the system were momentarily stunned by the sight before them.

The Paper Ghost, with his fierce, scarred face, was no longer holding a sharp axe but instead wielding a long… 1-meter-long cleaver!

The scarred man dragged the cleaver behind him, and from a distance, he seemed ready to attack Chen Mengxi and Jia Yingrong. Suddenly, the scarred man seemed to have a flash of insight. He looked up and immediately saw Si Yisi charging toward him.

The scarred man’s body shuddered almost imperceptibly. He lowered his head and glanced at his cleaver, then, when he looked up again, he seemed much more confident.

Mo Wuchang, observing the scarred man’s strange behavior: “…”

Mo Wuchang had an inkling of what the Paper Ghost was doing; Why glance at the cleaver and then look at Si Yisi?

Because he was measuring the long distance between the blade and Si Yisi.

The Paper Ghost probably thought that with the 1-meter-long cleaver in hand, the boss wouldn’t be able to get close enough to harm him!

That must be where his confidence came from, right?!

Mo Wuchang couldn’t help but smile wryly. He looked at the scarred man with pity, thinking; You think the boss is the type who’s helpless if he can’t get close?

Though, in truth, Mo Wuchang wasn’t 100% confident, but at least he had more faith in Si Yisi than in the scarred man.

At that moment, Si Yisi had slowed down and reached Chen Mengxi’s side. His crying was filled with a sense of grievance and fear, and he carefully called out to her, “Cousin.”

It was as if Chen Mengxi would be the one to help him escape, like a god.

After some mental preparation, the scarred man fiercely swung his cleaver at the four people.

His strike was fast, precise, and vicious, as if he intended to slice all four of them down with one blow!

Mo Wuchang narrowly avoided the scarred man’s attack by rolling to the side. As he wiped the cold sweat from his hands, he glanced at Si Yisi, only to realize that the boss was actually calm enough to show off!

Just as Chen Mengxi was about to call her “dog” Jia Yingrong… no, Shen Yingqing, to help her, Si Yisi suddenly crashed into her like a cannonball.

The force of an adult male crashing into her knocked Chen Mengxi to the ground.

Si Yisi, crying out in shock and fear, shouted, “Cousin, be careful!” as he rushed to “cover” her with incredible speed.

Chen Mengxi took a deep breath. She had been caught off guard and knocked to the ground by Si Yisi, and his tears had smeared all over her face!

Smeared all over her face!

Chen Mengxi was about to lose her mind from anger. She watched helplessly as, from Si Yisi’s sudden shove, the scarred man’s blade grazed the side of her temple, and the cold sensation on her face made her shiver.

After the chilling sound of the blade scraping against the wooden floor, a strand of her hair was cut off by the incoming blade and fell to the ground.

“Cousin, are you okay?” Si Yisi cried, shaking Chen Mengxi desperately.

Si Yisi looked so weak. He didn’t seem to be faking it at all, as if he was still in the state before that demon had “possessed” him.

Chen Mengxi, thinking she had figured it out, guessed that the terrifying Shen Chen from back then was actually a split personality of the real Shen Chen. The main personality of Shen Chen was just a pathetic crybaby!

A cold glint flashed in Chen Mengxi’s eyes. She tightly gripped the dagger made of black mist in her hand, and taking advantage of this perfect moment to strike, she aimed it at Si Yisi’s heart.

Just then, the scarred man’s second strike came swiftly!

Si Yisi’s lack of resistance made the scarred man’s twisted face break into a genuine smile. The scarred man truly believed he had Si Yisi under control, so he swung his blade again and again, aiming to cut through everything in one swift motion!

Chen Mengxi’s dagger slid towards his clothes, causing a faint tearing sound of fabric.

She watched as Si Yisi miraculously dodged, not even a hair of his being harmed!

Her anger flared!

Si Yisi cried several times, his eyelids swollen from tears. He quietly sobbed as he narrowly avoided another attack from the scarred man. Then, Si Yisi’s peripheral vision caught sight of Chen Mengxi, looking even more disheveled after his earlier teasing. Finally, he decided not to continue his foolishness.

Just moments ago, he had genuinely hoped that the scarred man would kill Chen Mengxi.

But after failing in that attempt, Si Yisi wisely decided to abandon that plan.

The protagonist wasn’t someone who could be so easily defeated! The last time, in Si Mobai’s world, Si Yisi had considered his survival a stroke of luck. It was all about having good luck to clear the stage!

So, in this pitiful and small world where Si Yisi felt weak, he absolutely wouldn’t act recklessly. He decided to stop waiting for death; One of the reasons being! If he cried any more, his eyes would swell up, and he wouldn’t be able to see anything! QwQ

***

Si Yisi slowly straightened his body, still crying as he wiped his tears, looking so weak and pitiful that it seemed unbearable. But it was this weak and pitiful youth who did not dodge as the scarred man’s blade came down straight toward him. His voice was as faint as a dying little lamb, having no strength left to move.

The scarred man couldn’t help but let out a childish giggle, “Hehe~”

Then, his laughter was suddenly choked, as if something had blocked his throat, leaving the sound stuck there.

The moment the scarred man laughed, Si Yisi actually moved directly from the 1-meter-long cleaver to the hilt of the blade!

Neither the players nor the ghosts could see how he did it. All they could hear was the faint sound of crying, which made the scarred man suddenly realize that it was real!

“Bang!”

The next moment, the scarred man’s machete was knocked out of his hand by Si Yisi’s single strike, hitting the floor with a muffled thud!

Si Yisi had caught the wooden stick that Mo Wuchang threw at him and slammed it hard onto the scarred man’s head!

“Hehe~”

“Hehe~”

The scarred man’s skull was cracked open, but Si Yisi watched in disbelief as several small paper people appeared under his once-perfect face. The scarred man’s face and body began to distort in a strange way, and when it finally stopped…

One after another, the small paper people blinked their little black eyes and mocked with laughter.

They were extremely pleased with themselves, and the small paper people that had formed around the scarred man’s head now scattered far apart. Si Yisi’s blow had caused no real damage to them at all!

This guy didn’t even bother to put himself back together after being torn apart by Si Yisi!

The little paper people looked so smug that they seemed ready to dance, their eerie laughter filling the air as they felt like Si Yisi couldn’t do anything to them!

“Happy, we’ve defeated the big bad boss, hehehe~” The childish voices had a creepy undertone, but the dominant feeling was one of triumphant arrogance, making them seem incredibly annoying.

Si Yisi looked closely at them, and once again, he was “scared” into tears. His tears flowed out joyfully, like water from a faucet.

Mo Wuchang immediately realized that Si Yisi was about to “go big”!

Mo Wuchang wasn’t using gaming terminology intentionally when he said Si Yisi was “going big.” He honestly thought that everything, from the “special effects” to everything else, really did seem like a high-budget video game battle!

Si Yisi showed the little paper people an expression that was both crying and smiling. His eyes were tear-filled, and his nose was red like a cherry, but his expression completely contradicted his weakness.

His lips curled slightly, and the color of his lips was as bright as if they were stained with fresh blood. This completely disconnected expression made Si Yisi look even more terrifying than the little paper people, like a villain from a horror movie!

The little paper people froze mid-laugh.

A few of the little paper people realized they were tightly held in the palm of the big bad boss. Their companions tried desperately to rescue half of their bodies, only to see a small mouth open before their eyes.

Ah Tu: “Hiss hiss?!”

It was pulled out of its fake hibernation by Si Yisi, and as soon as it met his gaze, it came face-to-face with the terrifying little paper people!

The little paper people were startled too; What is this ugly thing!

“I’ll leave it to you,” Si Yisi slowly spoke to Ah Tu in a tone that entrusted it with a heavy responsibility, as Ah Tu’s fearful little eyes stared at him. Then, he opened Ah Tu’s mouth and shoved a little paper person inside!

A Tu: “!!!”

Slap slap slap! Ah Tu’s tail swung wildly as if it had a motor, struggling like a fish on the verge of drowning. But it was useless, your big boss system was just your big boss system.

Ah Tu was forced by its heartless master to chew the little paper person into pieces. The little paper people panicked, realizing that they could no longer sense the presence of their other half!

This isn’t scientific! Didn’t we agree that only a lighter could severely injure us?!

I’m reporting this game for having a hacker—ahhhhh—!

The chewing sounds came in waves, and the number of little paper people rapidly dwindled, as if they were crops being devoured by locusts!

“Hehe…”

“Hehe QwQ …”

The little paper people retreated step by step, while Si Yisi closed in on them, like a local bully threatening a well-behaved young man! The little paper people trembled with fear, their bodies shaking like leaves, and as they shook, they kept making miserable, crying-like laughter!

The last little paper person was shoved into Ah Tu’s mouth, desperately crackling with electricity, trying to turn itself into a living light bulb.

Once the merciless master finally released it, Ah Tu dropped heavily to the ground. It seemed to let out a puff of white smoke, its eyes rolled back, and even its dragon horns wilted!

Wuwuwuwu…

For a moment, A Tu and the little paper people had the same thought!

We’re done for! —Done for!!

***

Si Yisi had proven that Ah Tu could indeed purify evil things. He showed a satisfied expression, and then his tears continued to flow like a stream.

Si Yisi: “Wuwuwu…” He kept this incongruent crying, sobbing persona, while forcefully stuffing the little paper people… No, the crybaby persona.

Mo Wuchang shuddered, his face filled with terror. Holy crap, is this how pets are used? Does that mean me, as his little brother, could end up being used like a rag doll?!

At the same time, Chen Mengxi’s “boyfriend,” Shen Yingqing, threw a long blade at Mo Wuchang.

And Chen Mengxi, with a malicious gaze, thrust a dagger toward Si Yisi’s waist!
