Capítulo 43: Chapter 43: Top Ten Outstanding Youth, Li Laifu
This evil octopus was far inferior to the one at the port. Like the difference between a father and son.
He appeared on the bridge to look for his father. His father had said he was going out to catch a human to eat, and then never came back. He also wanted to play with humans.
But humans wouldn't play with him. They ran away as soon as they saw him. It was so boring.
Was it because I'm too beautiful, making humans feel inferior?
Maybe that's the reason.
Lin Fan and Old Man Zhang stared intently at the octopus in the distance.
Grumble!
Lin Fan rubbed his stomach and calmly said, "I'm hungry."
"I'm not very hungry," Old Man Zhang said.
Every time he unconsciously practiced his qigong cultivation method, he would become very hungry. That kind of hunger was unbearable, as if he had to eat everything he could see, whether it was food or not, even steel.
"His arms are so long."
"Yeah, that's why he's cute."
People fled one after another. Facing the evil creature, they were like they'd seen a ghost, their minds blank, thinking of nothing but escape. Nothing else mattered.
The mute man, smashed against the hood of the ambulance, desperately wrote 'SOS' with his bloody fingers. The meaning was clear: I'm not dead yet, I can still be saved. Instead of staring at the monster, can't you drag me away?
"Let's go."
Vice President Li pulled Lin Fan and Old Man Zhang by their wrists. He couldn't abandon the two mental patients. The reason was simple: he was going to be the president, the head of the hospital. He couldn't claim to be a legendary hero, shouldering the fate of all living beings, but protecting two patients was his responsibility.
"Is he cute?" Lin Fan asked.
Vice President Li looked at Lin Fan in astonishment and said with some despair, "Don't have an episode here. Whether he's cute or not has nothing to do with you. Trust me, I won't harm you. If we run now, we can make it."
If Director Hao were present, he would calmly say:
You don't understand mental illness at all.
He asks you if it's cute?
Just answer that it's cute. Why say things they can't understand?
"Vice President, I will protect you."
The driver summoned his courage. His chance to shine had come. He stood beside the Vice President and said firmly.
Even though he was terrified of the evil creature.
But life's opportunities only come once. If he didn't seize this one, he would regret it later.
Lin Fan and Old Man Zhang whispered to each other.
They had never seen such a creature before, but instinctively felt that this creature was truly beautiful, much cuter than the rabid dog and the Xuan Snake.
The standard of cuteness = large size.
The driver took an iron pipe from the ambulance and pretended to be calm as he stood beside the Vice President.
Vice President Li really wanted to run. He had thought about abandoning the two mental patients, but he...
The octopus creature gradually approached.
It was only ten meters away from them.
"Vice President, you go first. I'll deal with him."
The driver held the iron pipe, ready to be eaten by the evil creature. He thought to himself, wife, son, dad, for your future, I will definitely fight. Let my death create a better future for you.
He had been a driver for ten years, with a low salary. His wife and children suffered with him, crammed into a small room, unable to even afford new clothes. He was used to this life, his wife was used to it, and his son was used to it.
But as a man, how could he let his wife and children live like this? He worked hard, but reality was cruel. Hard work didn't always guarantee success.
"Come on, come at me."
The driver banged the iron pipe against the car, trying to attract the octopus's attention.
His tiny body, in the eyes of the octopus, was no different from a small fish in a river.
Plop!
At this moment, Vice President Li patted the driver's shoulder. The driver turned around and found that the Vice President's demeanor had changed.
"Let me do it."
Vice President Li's expression was calm, his eyes peaceful. He slowly unfastened the electronic watch on his wrist and handed it to the driver. "Protect this watch for me. It has a very significant meaning. The year I became a chief surgeon, I saved a child's mother on the operating table. The child thanked me and gave me the electronic watch his father had bought him."
"Look, this is the watch. Doesn't it look nice? The workmanship is exquisite. It's very popular in the elementary school market. It has a certain subtle elegance."
"I like it very much and have always worn it. Keep it safe for me, don't lose it."
Vice President Li took the iron pipe from the driver and twisted his neck, which cracked. His demeanor, his expression, was like a retired underground emperor, getting his full-back dragon tattoo again and stepping back into the dark world.
"President..." The driver was stunned by this aura, and slowly opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Vice President Li smiled and said calmly, "Do you know? When I was young, I served in the army for three years and was named an outstanding soldier. Later, I participated in the assessment for the Buddhist High Academy. If it weren't for the stomachache that day, which affected my performance, I wouldn't be the vice president of the hospital now, but a true peerless expert."
"Just a small evil creature. Watch carefully."
The driver looked at Vice President Li's back. For some reason, he suddenly found the Vice President's back to be very tall, emitting a sacred light. The light was so dazzling that he felt the urge to worship.
Looking at the watch the Vice President had given him.
He knew this was the most precious thing the Vice President owned. To entrust such a precious item to him meant how much the Vice President valued him.
At this moment, the driver gripped the electronic watch, tears streaming down his face, and roared, "Vice President, don't worry, even if I lose my life, I will definitely protect the electronic watch."
Vice President Li walked towards the octopus, raised his hand behind his back, and made an OK gesture.
The innate confidence was fully displayed on Vice President Li.
No one had ever seen such a domineering Vice President Li.
Was this the same Vice President who knelt down and begged Director Hao for forgiveness to send mental patients back to Qingshan Psychiatric Hospital?
Or the tsundere Vice President who was incredibly fast at grabbing red envelopes?
No... neither.
That was all a facade.
Vice President Li stood in front of the octopus creature, looked up at it, slowly raised his arm, pointed the iron pipe at the creature, and said calmly:
"Unenrolled student of the Buddhist High Academy, Vice President of Huatian Third-Class Hospital, Yanhai City's Top Ten Outstanding Youth, Li Laifu, will slay you today."
"Come!"
A gust of wind blew.
The white coat fluttered in the wind.
Vice President Li's hair, which he hadn't styled with mousse, was messed up, a few unruly strands sticking up.
The octopus tilted its head, blinked its eyes, and looked curiously at the human in front of it, feeling that humans seemed so foolish.
