Positive internet celebrity (2): Are you convinced?

After Si Qi finished speaking, the scene was silent for several seconds.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.

Si Qi’s friends looked at Si Qi and the Son of the World Chen Yi in astonishment, wondering if it was Si Qi who angrily grabbed Chen Yi’s arm and asked them to come over to fight.

Judging from his posture, he would never stop until he fought the other person desperately and beat the other person to his knees and cried for his father.

Why after arriving at the place, he told everyone to just let it go and asked Chen Yi to go and fight with the others?

Having said that, Chen Yi, that nerd with skinny arms and legs, could he put up a hell of a fight? it was more like he would get beaten up!

A friend asked in confusion: “What? Are you helping Chen Yi in a fight? Don’t you hate this guy the most? Why are you helping him?”

“That’s right, I thought these guys had offended you! Seeing you so angry, I wanted to vent your anger, but it turned out to be Chen Yi’s fault…”

Everyone pouted in disappointment.

They love the house and the crows on the roof¹, and they also hate the house and the crows in it-. Since Chen Yi always targeted Si Qi, they didn’t like Chen Yi. They usually ignored Chen Yi and pretended they didn’t see him.

It was not surprising that he was not willing to help Chen Yi fight now.

Some people even “understood” Si Qi’s plan with a gloating look on their faces, and said to Chen Yi with a smile: “Didn’t you tell Si Qi that these people bullied you? Now the opportunity is in front of you. If you are a man, go up and use your fists to speak for yourself! Then I will respect you as a man!!”

Some people looked at Chen Yi’s stunned expression and the way he stared at Si Qi with wide eyes, and sneered: “Tsk, when you are wronged, you go to others to cry and expect others to fight back for you, what is this called? Dodder? You are still a man!”

“Whether you want to fight or not, just say something! You’re just standing there like a woman and wasting our time!”

Chen Yi’s face turned pale and blue, and he was furious at Si Qi’s backstab. He tried to maintain his demeanor in front of others and said with a smile: “I don’t want to fight, it’s all a misunderstanding, forget it.”

Si Qi raised his eyebrows and said loudly, “Forget it? Forget it for what? Didn’t you tell me that these people laughed at you for being an orphan and you started crying while talking about it?”

“Pfft… Chen Yi, you’re crying? And you’re crying in front of Si Qi?” A classmate next to him couldn’t help laughing, “Hahahaha, you’re so funny!!”

Everyone knew that Chen Yi and Si Qi were at loggerheads with each other. Chen Yi always found trouble with Si Qi, and Si Qi always tried to provoke Chen Yi intentionally or unintentionally.

Why was Chen Yi crying to his archenemy Si Qi in private? Whenever he encounters grievances, he goes to Si Qi to cry and complain. This was too funny!

Chen Yi could barely keep his facial expression, and gritted his teeth as he uttered a few words: “When did I cry?!”

Si Qi looked at Chen Yi’s expression, curled his lips and said, “How could I not know you? You have always shown me that expression and asked me to help you… I say, you can’t keep going like this! Why don’t other people have so many troubles, but you are always wronged? In the final analysis, it’s because you are too weak and easy to be bullied!”

Si Qi shouted, “It’s okay for what I can see, but when you leave school and enter society, will you still be like this? It really makes me angry just by looking at you!”

The students around him listened and felt that Si Qi’s words made some sense, as if Si Qi wanted to help Chen Yi and make him tougher…

Si Qi patted Chen Yi’s shoulders several times and encouraged him: “It’s just a fight, and the ones you’re fighting are the guys who bullied you! The more you give in to these people, the more arrogant they become! You should beat them back! Let them never dare to say that kind of thing again!”

He glanced at the classmate who was filming the scene upstairs with his cell phone, and continued in a voice that could be heard even upstairs: “Chen Yi, do you want to fight? This is a good opportunity to save face!”

Chen Yi stood there with a sullen face and said nothing.

Across from them, a group of students were ready to rush up and start a fight, but now they had inexplicably become accomplices for Chen Yi to practice fighting. When they heard Si Qi’s words, they were furious: “Chen Yi, are you crazy?”

“You know best what you did! It was Cao Mengran who was late, but you deducted points from me. You think you are so great just because you are an excellent student? You are a poor student, so you can deduct discipline points from me at will, right? What’s wrong with calling you an orphan? You deserve to be scolded! You have a father but no mother to teach you!!”

“How dare you bring people to beat us? We didn’t even hit you, how dare you!!”

Si Qi raised his eyebrows, looked at Chen Yi thoughtfully, and said meaningfully: “Oh~ You deducted other people’s points from them?”

Chen Yi’s heart sank.

He was close to Si Qi and knew what kind of person Si Qi was and what kind of things he hated the most.

He had used Si Qi to do so many things for him, and he had also stood on the moral high ground and kept accusing Si Qi. Now he couldn’t let his image of being “upright and stubborn” be shattered, otherwise everything he had gained from Si Qi might be taken back.

So he lowered his head, looked unwilling and humiliated and said, “It’s not what they said.”

He looked like a white lotus, feeling wronged and innocent, but he just won’t say anything.

Si Qi sighed in his heart and said to Xiu Xiu: [This time, the Son of the World is a scumbag again. Why does the bureau always let me give golden fingers to guys like this? Just because they have no bottom line, how can they succeed? ]

Xiu Xiu replied: [To the world, it doesn’t matter whether the Son of the World is a good person or a bad person.]

As long as he could help the Son of the World move one step closer to the peak and enable the entire world to generate more world power, then there was no problem with him doing anything. It is just like modern people do not care how much blood the emperor who made great achievements thousands of years ago had on his hands, they only remember how great things he did and how great contributions he left for future generations.

The world consciousness of this world signed a cooperation contract with the Lord God. The quick-travel bureau under the rule of the Lord God sent people to give the Son of the World a golden finger to help him rise faster and better and create more world power. The world will feed back more world power to the Lord God in return, and both sides will benefit and win.

Among them, the best temporary identities used by the quick traveler were basically cannon fodder destined to be defeated by the Son of the World.

Not only was the working cycle short, but after sending the golden finger, one could directly escape into the next world, and one’s identity was usually naturally related to the Son of the World.

The quick traveler only needed to show up at the right time, become a cannon fodder and stepping stone to provide a golden finger for the Son of the World, and then he could complete the task without any effort.

Like Chen Yi, the big boss in front of him who was destined to have his feet in both the black and white worlds in the future, his stepping stone to the business world was achieved by sacrificing the original owner.

Perhaps, compared to a hundred mediocre saints and gentlemen, the world really needs a decisive and ruthless hero to drive the progress of the entire era. Therefore, most of the selected sons of the world are such people.

As a dragon, Si Qi didn’t really care about the trivialities between humans before. After entering the quick-travel bureau, he just wanted to complete his work well. Entering the world, contacting the children of the world, constantly committing suicide, giving away golden fingers, and ending his life, he went through many worlds in this way.

The opportunity that changed his working approach was when he was playing the role of cannon fodder in a martial arts world and met a white-clad swordsman by chance.

He was an extremely gentle and kind person. Si Qi and the swordsman had been getting along for half a year, and just like with Chu Lin and Lei Feng, they naturally became friends.

They drank together, talked together, went to many places, and experienced many ups and downs. Si Qi still remembered those scenes vividly.

Later, the world line continued to move forward. Si Qi possessed a unique secret book and was coveted by the Son of the World. Step by step, he was framed by the Son of the World and his family was broken up and he became infamous. He was forced to the edge of a cliff and besieged by a group of righteous people.

At that time, Si Qi had already planned to find a suitable opportunity to “fall off the cliff” and complete the mission in this world.

But the swordsman who rushed over after hearing the news risked the world’s condemnation and stayed by Si Qi’s side. With red eyes, he argued with everyone for Si Qi’s innocence. After his explanation failed, he went against the whole world and fought side by side with Si Qi, surrounded by a group of martial arts heroes.

Si Qi stood at the edge of the cliff and suddenly couldn’t move forward.

He had a mission to accomplish, and he should have left the secret book behind to help the Son of the World reach the top, and then disappeared from this world. But watching the White Swordsman fighting with the Son of the World, he didn’t know who to help. He stood there in a daze for a moment, and the next second he saw the swordsman being stabbed through the chest by the Son of the World. Before he died, he looked at him with extreme despair and whispered to him to run away.

In an instant, all the experiences he had with the swordsman flashed through Si Qi’s mind. He turned around and saw the vicious and greedy eyes of the Son of the World, and a feeling of anger and disgust arose in his heart. Regret flooded his brain, and his heart suddenly ached. He forgot all about the mission and the work. With red eyes, he grabbed the body of the swordsman in white and held it in his arms. He took the opponent’s long sword and chopped hard at the head of the Son of the World – but failed.

Xiu Xiu was almost frightened by Si Qi’s behavior at that time, and kept shouting “No”, trying to dissuade Si Qi from committing suicide. But Si Qi at that time was not willing to listen to such things. He had been spoiled like a baby by the Lord God since he was born, and he had never suffered any grievances. His character was somewhat arrogant and willful, and he did things less caring about the consequences than ordinary people.

He was besieged by the entire martial arts world, and he gritted his teeth and refused to die like this. He didn’t want to sacrifice the life of the white-clothed swordsman in vain, so he took a sword and fought with everyone.

At that time, Xiu Xiu should have reported to the bureau immediately, told the department about Si Qi’s violation, and warned Si Qi to die as soon as possible, but he did not do so. After crying and shouting in Si Qi’s consciousness for several minutes, he stopped persuading Si Qi, and even gave up on himself by using his own abilities to scan the surrounding environment, helping Si Qi to escape, and wholeheartedly assisting Si Qi to do what he wanted to do.

After escaping, Si Qi was seriously injured and nearly died for several months. He suffered a lot, but finally managed to save his life. He had never suffered any hardship since he was a child, but during that time, he almost suffered all the hardships of his life. Whenever he couldn’t bear it anymore, he would recall every little thing he had experienced with the White Swordsman, and he studied swordsmanship from scratch through the ancestral martial arts secrets. Finally, more than ten years later, he defeated the Son of the World by chance as a demon and became the strongest master in the contemporary martial arts world, completing the mission that should have belonged to the Son of the World in that world.

After Xiu Xiu received feedback from the world consciousness, he cried loudly in Si Qi’s consciousness space. He had been frightened for so many years, and only then did he finally breathe a sigh of relief, making sure that he would not be killed by the bureau after returning to the main world.

It was also from that world that Si Qi changed his working approach. He no longer diligently gave golden fingers to the sons of the world, but took great pains to “seize power and usurp the throne”, killing those scumbags he disliked, and then took the throne himself to promote the development of the world and complete the world’s mission.

It could be considered as…atonement for that person.

Every time Si Qi thought of the things in that world, and the figure that fell powerlessly and was covered in blood, he felt very depressed.

If he had been able to fight back earlier, instead of just giving the golden finger and then walking away like other colleagues, perhaps the other party would not have died.

As he was thinking, Si Qi suddenly felt Chen Yi hiding behind him, and a dark shadow attacked him.

He reflexively turned his head to avoid the attack, and pulled out a worn-out umbrella stuck in the trash can, deflected the opponent’s attack, and retreated.

Seeing that Si Qi was about to get beaten, his friends were so angry that they rolled up their sleeves and were ready to rush in to fight.

Si Qi remembered that there was a camera filming above, so he quickly shouted, “Don’t move!”

The friends paused and turned their attention to Si Qi, only to see Chen Yi retreating a few steps behind him instead of moving forward, looking as if he was trying to divert the trouble and not getting involved.

Si Qi said to Xiu Xiu: [I remember the original owner’s last wish was to get rid of the stain on his body and not be hated by the world?]

Xiu Xiu: [Yes, Master~~]

Si Qi thought for a moment: [Not being hated by others is not enough, I not only want him to be cleared of the charges, but also to be loved by the whole world! ]

As he finished speaking, he raised his long umbrella, and with a snap, he used the umbrella to push away the arm that was swinging at him.

Then, he tapped his toes, flipped over, flew several meters into the air, and lightly leaped into the crowd. He landed without making any sound, like a bird soaring in the wind.

Friends, including the classmate who was live streaming on his phone upstairs, stared with wide eyes and exclaimed in shock: “It’s flying?!”

Si Qi didn’t say anything, just swung his hand and made a few dazzling sword flowers, knocking a group of people down.

His movements were so fast that ordinary people could only see the black umbrella body leaving an afterimage in the air that seemed to have turned several times, and then those people fell back, covering their bodies and screaming in pain.

It was so cool, it was like being in a movie! It made people excited!

One of them seemed to have some martial arts skills. He blocked Si Qi’s attack at the first blow and raised his stick to hit Si Qi’s neck.

Upon seeing this, Si Qi knocked several people away, then half-crouched with his sword in hand. His standard movements were exactly the same as those of the swordsmen in martial arts TV dramas!

Then he flicked his wrist, knocking the stick out of the other person’s hand. He turned around 180 degrees, kicked the other person’s chest with his toes, and then swept horizontally, kicking the man out and into the trash can beside him.

Everyone present was stunned and exclaimed “Holy shit”.

Some people saw that the situation was not good, so one of them attacked from behind while another bent down to pick up the weapon, coordinating with each other.

Si Qi seemed to have eyes on his back. He stepped back and bent his waist in a swift and decisive move, easily dodged the grab. The tip of his umbrella turned sideways and hit the man’s side, knocking him away. The handle of the umbrella flew up and hooked the collar of another man, pulling the student who was trying to pick up the stick towards him.

After pulling it, he released the umbrella hook. The opponent turned around and punched Si Qi in the face. Si Qi raised his leg and hit the man’s elbow and kicked him away.

This action seemed to trigger a switch in his body. His body, conditioned by learning martial arts since childhood, reflexively turned around and jumped 360 degrees on the spot. The force of gravity allowed his foot to kiss the opponent’s chin. This strength was enough to easily break a thin bamboo stick!

If it hit someone hard, it might cause a concussion.

Si Qi withdrew most of the force and only let the tip of his shoe brush the side of the man’s face instead of the entire instep, but it was enough to knock the opponent away again.

As the student hit his head against the wall and screamed in pain, his friends standing by were already dumbfounded.

From the time Si Qi flew up and landed on the ground, until he knocked a group of people away, it took no more than ten seconds from beginning to end. It was so fast that people could not react at all!

Watching martial arts movies was not so exciting! !

The next second, Si Qi held a black umbrella in his hand and faced the last person. The metal tip of the umbrella swept across the leaves above his head. There was a very subtle “squeak” sound, accompanied by the sound of breaking wind through the air. Only half of the leaf was left, and the cut was as neat as if it had been cut by a knife, and it slowly fell from the top of the tree.

Along with Si Qi’s extremely fast figure on the side, the leaves slid slowly through the air along with the air flow, and two distinct figures, one fast and one slow, were imprinted in everyone’s eyes so clearly.

The sound of inhaling echoed one after another in the field.

Somewhere in the teaching building above their heads, they seemed to hear a scream of excitement: “Fuck! Fuck! Damn, it’s so handsome!!!”

The umbrella finally landed on the last student, but he didn’t attack him too fiercely. He just pointed the tip of the umbrella at the student’s throat and said with a smile, “Are you convinced?”

The whole audience was silent for a moment, and then burst into unbridled and hearty laughter!

The student whose throat was held by the umbrella was stunned for a moment, then he looked at his companions who were crawling up with dust on their faces and covering their bodies, and could only purse his lips and remain silent.

Before, he was the one who suffered unfair treatment from Chen Yi and called Chen Yi an orphan.

It was also him who slapped Chen Yi in the face in the future, and was beaten to death with bricks by Chen Yi who held a grudge against him.

At this moment, he gave a helpless smile and raised his hands to admit defeat: “You are awesome, that’s enough!”

Si Qi said “OK” with a smile, took back the black umbrella, stood with his back to the person, and threw the black umbrella through the air, turning sideways and backhand, towards the small gap that was only four or five centimeters wide where he had originally held the umbrella.

The black umbrella flew across the sky in full view of everyone, forming a perfect parabola, and then with a “click”, it fell precisely into the small hole that could only be described as a gap.

Everyone mentally imagined the scene of the sword being sheathed, and was stunned beyond belief.

“wow…”

That was the sound of unconscious murmurs of envy.

The spring breeze brushed the boys’ hair. They stared blankly at the boy standing in the sun with a rebellious look and a bright smile. They might never forget that scene for the rest of their lives.

Si Qi tilted his head towards the group of people, raised his chin, and smiled proudly: “What about you? Are you convinced?”

The group of people on the opposite side got beaten up. Even if they thought Si Qi was awesome and handsome, they couldn’t really say they were convinced. That would be too embarrassing.

So they all looked at Si Qi angrily, and anyone could see from their gnashing teeth that they were unwilling to accept the outcome.

Si Qi was not someone who was so easy to talk to. He smiled and waved to his brothers. A group of brothers who had played with him for a long time immediately understood what Si Qi meant. With smug and domineering smiles on their faces, they rubbed their hands and surrounded the group of people.

Seeing the signs of kicking the dog when it’s down, the student who was live-streaming looked at the screen with excitement. The number of viewers in the live-streaming room kept rising and broke through 50,000 in the blink of an eye. This was a number he had dreamed of breaking in the past! His hands were shaking slightly, holding the phone tightly. He would never give up the live-streaming at this time!

He hurriedly explained to the new audience what had just happened again and again, his voice trembling with excitement.

“The group of people who surrounded the others are the most famous bullies in our school. Yes, they were fighting just now! So damn cool! You can go and watch the live broadcast replay. I have cut it out separately. Click it to see…”

Many netizens who didn’t understand the situation subconsciously said: [Campus bullying? ]

[Students nowadays are really bad students. They bully people on campus all the time. I can’t tell whether they are students or hooligans…]

[The anchor said that this student who used the umbrella used to bully his classmates in school and was a notorious school bully. Alas, it’s a pity that he has great martial arts skills! ]

[Anchor, don’t just focus on filming, quickly call the teacher to stop them! ]

[Host, you are still broadcasting live with your phone in your hand. Don’t be afraid of these school losers! Shout first to scare them! ]

The student was stunned for a moment, recalling the conversation between Si Qi and others that he had heard upstairs before. He always felt that the direction of the barrage was a little bit wrong.

Si Qi didn’t come here to fight. He came to speak up for his deskmate. The reason he fought was because the other party wanted to hit him, so he fought back.

As a student, he knew that calling the teacher for help in a group fight would make the matter worse and offend students on both sides.

Moreover, if he was caught using his mobile phone to live stream in school, his phone would be confiscated. He was not stupid.

Of course he was reluctant to stop the live broadcast now, so after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to go down alone and see whether to stop it according to the situation. If he couldn’t stop it, it would be a good thing to shoot some videos to continue to attract some popularity.

So he quickly ran down the stairs with his cell phone in his hand and dashed towards the back of the teaching building.

Not long after, the camera once again focused on two groups of people standing under the tree, no more than 20 or 30 meters away.

The host’s nervous voice echoed behind the screen: “It looks like Si Qi is lecturing that group of people and asking them for something.”

The group of people on the opposite side were forced to repeat something with an unconvinced look on their faces, and they looked as if they had suffered a great humiliation with their gnashing teeth.

The audience was so anxious that they quickly sent out comments:

[Anchor, please come closer! You have no idea what this is talking about! ]

[Isn’t it that he is setting up rules so that those people won’t dare to provoke him again? ]

[Hey, I couldn’t see clearly from upstairs just now, but after zooming in, I found that the boy with the umbrella is quite handsome! He looks so sweet when he smiles, he could be a hottie in the entertainment industry.]

[Oh my god, this guy is so handsome, is this guy from the comics walking into the real world? What a gorgeous face! ]

As the live broadcast room became more and more popular, the host’s heart began to beat nervously. More and more viewers urged him to get closer to see what was going on. The host gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and rushed behind the tree with his phone in his arms, wanting to take a close-up sneak shot.

However, before he could hide behind the tree, Si Qi shouted in a voice full of anger and threat: “Everyone, raise your voice! Have you not eaten yet?”

The anchor was so frightened that his hands started shaking and he almost dropped his phone on the ground. He hurriedly held the phone tightly.

He complained to the audience: “Our school bully is really powerful when he teaches people a lesson… It’s scary.”

The audience became more and more certain that Si Qi was bullying others, and they began to feel dissatisfied. They left messages in the live broadcast room, saying that they would never tolerate violence on campus.

Their eyes were fixed on the screen, determined to be the first witnesses of campus bullying and make sure Si Qi could never clear his name.

All they saw on the screen was a group of students who remained silent unwillingly for a few seconds. Finally, under the expectant gaze of the host and tens of thousands of spectators, they opened their mouths with red faces and extreme shame.

The words that were shouted out instantly caused the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room to surge, but the reason for the surge was somewhat unexpected.

Because what these people were shouting was:

“It is an honor to love the motherland! It is a shame to harm the motherland!”

“It is an honor to serve the people! It is a shame to betray the people!”

“It is an honor to uphold science! It is a shame to be ignorant!”

The words were clear and melodious, and the sound reached the sky! !

Notes

1. Love the house and the crows on the roof. Because I love a house, I also love the crows on the roof. It is a metaphor for loving a person and caring about the people or things related to him or her. It means that a person’s love for another person (or thing) has reached a level of blind enthusiasm. ↩︎
