Chapter 121: I Am the Real Protagonist!

Ming Tan wiped his sweat and swallowed with lingering fear, his scalp going half-numb in an instant. He pushed himself up from the ground, adrenaline surging; he could clearly feel the thumping of his heart within his chest and the rapid circulation of blood in his veins. He ran quickly out through the side door of the factory.

【6!】

【Stop running, just accept your fate!】

【You're going to break your leg running like that later...】

【If you ask me who the smartest person in the world is? I don't know, but if you ask me who the stupidest person in the world is? I would tell you without hesitation—Ming Tan!】

【Hahaha... this talent Ming Tan, he really made me laugh!】

At the same time, Ling Wu also saw Ming Tan's face clearly.

Why would Ming Tan appear here?

From the top of Song Mountain to the outskirts at the foot of the mountain, it takes at least two hours on foot, yet the timing of his arrival was so coincidental.

Ling Wu's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and suspicion arose.

His five fingers curled slightly, and he immediately chased after him!

Ming Tan's hands and feet were cold. Looking at the desolate wilderness with no sign of human life, his heart rose to his throat. He kept looking back to confirm whether Ling Wu had caught up.

He simply couldn't believe it.

Ling Wu would actually kill someone?

And after killing so many people, he still remained expressionless!

Although he had a bad impression of Ling Wu, or rather, harbored feelings of jealousy, Ming Tan had to admit that Ling Wu was a person of excellent upbringing, whose conduct and behavior were beyond reproach, and who appeared very magnanimous, open-minded, humble, and tolerant...

It was precisely because of this that Ming Tan could not accept the bloody truth he had just witnessed.

Ling Wu stood at the side door of the factory and brushed the stray hair that was slightly covering his eyes back behind his head. He looked at Ming Tan's panicked, fleeing figure, raised his wrist, and threw the sharp long blade with a sudden force. The cold light of the blade flashed, flying out like an arrow released from a bow, piercing into Ming Tan's lower leg!

A hit!

"Ah! Uh..."

Ming Tan fell to the ground in pain. A large amount of blood flowed down his lower leg toward his ankle, soaking the earth until it was damp. He lay half-prostrate, supporting himself on the ground with one arm.

He saw Ling Wu walking over, covered in blood. That person's expression was leisurely and lazy, possessing the arrogant posture of one who is always in control. His eyes were cold and aloof, and that porcelain-white face, already stunning, became even more breathtaking after being stained with blood. He kept moving closer to him; the rustling sound of Ling Wu's shoe soles stepping on the grass was like a melody played by the Grim Reaper.

They locked eyes for two seconds.

Ming Tan could be certain that if he were caught, he would die!

He gasped for breath.

Ming Tan dragged his injured leg and crawled forward, his voice trembling: "Help!"

"Help... help..."

"Save me!"

"Is there anyone to save me! Someone is killing... someone is killing people here..."

He crawled desperately, wanting to escape this living hell.

Ling Wu followed right behind him, looking down from above, coldly admiring his pathetic posture as he clung to life like an ant, even finding the trail of blood on the ground quite beautiful.

After a while, he had admired enough.

Ling Wu used the tip of his shoe to kick the Soft Blade that was deeply embedded in the flesh of Ming Tan's lower leg, then pulled out another blade and patted his cheek, asking in a deep, cold tone: "Student Ming Tan, seeing me... why are you running?"

"Hmm?"

Ming Tan was on the verge of a breakdown; he shouted: "Don't come over!"

"Ahhh!"

"Don't come over..."

But Ling Wu ignored his howling entirely. His slender fingers gripped Ming Tan's ankle, and the blade, sharp enough to cut through iron like mud, grazed the wild grass. His back was silent and brutal as he dragged the person back into the Abandoned Factory.

"Ling Wu, Ling Wu... killing is against the law, it's against the law, you can't do this, you will be arrested by the North Capital Police Station, and then you will spend the rest of your life repenting in prison!"

But Ming Tan did not hear the answer he had expected.

Instead, he was met with two mocking laughs. As he was being dragged, he heard Ling Wu say: "Since the rules don't constrain them, they naturally cannot trap me either!"

Ming Tan didn't understand!

He didn't understand who the "them" Ling Wu was referring to were.

Ming Tan wailed: "Crazy... you're crazy! Ling Wu, you're just a lunatic!"

Crazy?

Ling Wu's voice was so light it would scatter with a breeze: "... I went crazy a long time ago."

He dragged Ming Tan into the Abandoned Warehouse and threw him back onto the ground. Ming Tan felt stinging pain all over. He opened his eyes and met the eyes of the crime syndicate boss, who had died with his eyes wide open, and was so scared that the roots of his legs were trembling uncontrollably.

Ming Tan lay on his back on the ground.

Ling Wu sat on the corpse of the person beside him, gripped the hilt of the blade embedded in Ming Tan's lower leg, and twisted it hard, churning the flesh and blood: "Tell me, how did you find this place?"

"Uh... ahhh! It hurts!"

Ming Tan kicked wildly with his uninjured leg, wanting to break free from this torture.

Ling Wu said again: "You were the one who tampered with the brakes, right?"

Although he was asking, there was no tone of inquiry; he spoke with almost absolute certainty, and thus his gaze toward Ming Tan was exceptionally cold and indifferent.

The intense pain and fear enveloped him like a net, constantly draining Ming Tan's breath, making it impossible for him to think, and he said resentfully: "Yes!"

"So what if I did?!"

Ming Tan said sinisterly: "Ling Wu, it's all your fault, you're just a jinx! Jin Shaoyu is the protagonist, the existence in this world that everyone stars and moons over. If it weren't for you, this unlucky Cannon Fodder, he would have been saved by me long ago, and it would have been impossible for him to be seriously injured!"

"It's all your fault..."

"Cannon Fodder should just die sooner!"

"You were the one who dragged Jin Shaoyu down."

Cannon Fodder? Protagonist?

What a truly novel term.

【Ah?!】

【Ahhhhhhh?!】

【Can someone explain how this native Ming Tan knows that Jin Shaoyu is the protagonist?】

【What is going on with Ming Tan? Has he really been possessed?】

【Author, your mother, do you want to be slapped in the face? You spent all this time building it up, only to tell me halfway through that the so-called protagonist shou is just someone else's skin suit?】

【6666】

Ling Wu lowered his head, his gaze soul-piercing, capable of seeing the ugliness within a person's heart: "It seems you can see things from outside the world..."

"Cannon Fodder?"

"Protagonist?"

Ling Wu crouched down beside him, yanked his hair, and forced him to look into his eyes: "Did you misunderstand something? In their own world, everyone is a protagonist."

Everyone is a protagonist...

Ming Tan's soul trembled at his words.

He could not believe it.

"No!"

Ming Tan violently swiped his hand away, pointed at Ling Wu, and said tremblingly: "No... you are not the protagonist, Ling Wu, you are just Cannon Fodder! In the end, you will be thrown into the sea to feed the sharks; the protagonist of this world is clearly me!"

"Everyone should revolve around me! Including Jin Shaoyu and Qi Yu, they will both fall in love with me in the end, fight over me, and come to blows for me, while you! From beginning to end, you are just an expendable piece of Cannon Fodder!"

"You should just go die!"

Ling Wu watched him quietly, as if looking at a fool.

Ming Tan's eyes were possessed by madness: "I am a Transmigrator!"

"I am the protagonist! Yes... Ling Wu, you cannot kill me!"

【Ming Tan, f*** your mother! You piece of trash! Ptooey, you aren't even Ming Tan, you stinking rat occupying someone else's body that everyone wants to beat up, I'd kick and punch you the moment I saw you! (Unfollowed)】

【Ahhhhh, I've been hit so hard I've been sent flying!】

【I knew Ming Tan's character design looked so strange! So it turns out he's a Transmigrator, can you have some shame? You're just a thief who stole someone else's body, hurry up and give it back, you're just a plucked rooster, yet you're still here dreaming of flying onto a branch to become a phoenix?】

【Ming Tan, you're really something, just setting out a bowl and you're already eating the reunion dinner.】

【Transmigrator, my car is broken, go to the front and take a look for me.】
