My Identity Becomes Increasingly Abnormal

Chapter 20 – Tricked lame

"Older Brother, you haven't relapsed, have you reported me again?"

Upon hearing this, the neighbor's face changed, and he straightened up instantly: "No... no!"

"That's good." Chen Yu put the cleaver into his waist and patted the neighbor's shoulder. "I couldn't sleep well last night, afraid of being caught again. At least I'll be locked up for a month or two."

"No... it won't happen. From now on, whoever reports the other will be in trouble." The neighbor sensed the threat in Chen Yu's words, lowered his head, and reluctantly moved his last box of "treasures" into Chen Yu's house.

"Are you done moving?" Leaning against the door frame, Chen Yu peeked into the empty neighbor's house.

"Al... almost done."

"Is there anything else to throw away?" Chen Yu rubbed his hands. "You can throw everything to me."

The Fat Neighbor turned around and looked at his empty house, almost in tears. "Only the load-bearing wall is left."

"Oh, I don't need the load-bearing wall." Chen Yu extended his arms and hugged the neighbor. "Let's go, after working so hard, I'll treat you to breakfast."

"No need!" The neighbor hurriedly refused. "I'll just eat a bite by myself..."

"I didn't ask for your opinion." Chen Yu interrupted the neighbor and forcefully walked into the elevator with him. "You must eat."

"Then... then... let me wear a hat."

Watching the Fat Neighbor go back to his house and cover his head with a hat to hide his title as a "Trash Otaku," Chen Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. "You really don't like your title, do you?"

The Fat Neighbor looked up and glanced at Chen Yu's title as a "Trash Otaku." "Do you like the three words 'Trash Otaku'?"

"As for me..." Chen Yu touched his head. "I'm fine with it."

This novel is available on bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

His previous titles were all "corpse," "murderer," or "terrorist."

Compared to those, the title "Trash Otaku" was simply too kind...

"Since you really dislike your title." Chen Yu licked his lips and his eyes gleamed. "As a friend, let me help you change it."

"Huh?" The Fat Neighbor was stunned.

...

"Help... help... help me!"

Qing City, Central Park.

On the snow-covered sidewalk, two men were engaged in a chase.

The former was the Fat Neighbor, running for his life and on the verge of exhaustion.

The latter was Chen Yu, holding a cleaver and leisurely following behind.

"Pick up the pace." Chen Yu waved the sharp tip of the knife, aiming at the Fat Neighbor's wiggling buttocks. "Otherwise, I'll stab your butt again."

"Big... Big Brother... ancestors... please spare me." The Fat Neighbor panted like a dying dog. "I really... really... can't run anymore."

"You can't even endure running twelve laps around the park?" Chen Yu mocked as he chased from behind. "No wonder you're a Trash Otaku, so useless. Your ex-girlfriend broke up with you because you couldn't last long, right?"

"I can't... I really can't run anymore."

In the face of absolute exhaustion, even the most piercing criticism was useless. When the Fat Neighbor exhausted his last bit of energy and stumbled to the ground after running twelve and a half laps, he no longer got up, whimpering, "Then... then... just kill me... kill me..."

Stopping his footsteps, Chen Yu saw that the neighbor had indeed reached his limit, so he put away the cleaver. "Alright. You have synovitis, let's end your first morning run here."

"I was wrong." The Fat Neighbor lowered his head, "I won't dare to report again."

"Do you have any backbone at all? Where were you wrong?" Chen Yu raised his voice, "A rat crossing the street is everyone's target! It's only natural! If a criminal is around, it's reasonable for you to report it! It's virtuous and ambitious! You did nothing wrong!"

"...I did nothing wrong." The Fat Neighbor's face darkened, "I really did nothing wrong."

"But the reality of the situation has made you so unlucky." Chen Yu was indignant, "Is this fair?"

"It's not fair!" The Fat Neighbor glared at Chen Yu.

"Why isn't it fair?" Chen Yu snapped his fingers, "It's because you're not strong enough. You're such a Trash Otaku that even a mere criminal dares to retaliate against you. Think about it, if you were a muscular man, a pillar of the state, or even a leader of the young people, would anyone dare to retaliate against you?"

"Of course not!" The Fat Neighbor puffed out his chest.

"So, how should I put it." Chen Yu nodded in satisfaction, "When evil sees a glimmer of light, it only wants to quickly extinguish it. But if what it sees is the sun, let alone retaliation, it would be instantly obliterated."

"You're right..." The neighbor nodded heavily.

"So, all the injustices in this world come from the fact that you're not strong enough."

"You're right!"

"So do you know why I had to mess with you yesterday?" Chen Yu slowly persuaded, "It's because I admire you."

"Admire? Me?" The neighbor was stunned.

"That's right." Chen Yu nodded, waving his hand grandly, "For almost a year, no one in the entire apartment building has dared to report me. How sad is that? Seeing a crime and not stopping it, seeing someone drowning and not rescuing them, seeing an old person fall and not helping them... It's too decadent. The cold reality and the loss of morality have made people gradually lose their bottom line. But..."

Chen Yu paused, gripping The Fat Neighbor's shoulders tightly, "But only you! Only you dared to report me without hesitation."

The Fat Neighbor was in a daze, "Only me..."

"That's right! Only you!" Chen Yu was moved, "Only you dared to report me, not fearing sacrifice or retaliation. You've shown me that there's still hope for humanity! There's still you!"

"... " The Fat Neighbor was dumbfounded.

"So, in order for this last spark of humanity to grow, I choose to protect you, spur you on, educate you, and cultivate you!" Chen Yu was almost convincing himself, "So, I deliberately retaliated against you, but didn't really retaliate. It's to make you recognize the reality while maintaining your original heart! All the injustices in the world come from the fact that you're not strong enough!"

"I won't let you, a seed of humanity, be defeated by the dark reality!"

"You! Stop being a Trash Otaku!"

"You! Become stronger!"

"Only by becoming stronger can you continue to uphold your ideals!"

"Only by becoming stronger can you strike against evil without fear of retaliation! Fulfill the goal that a king should pursue!"

"You shouldn't be a mere spark that can be extinguished in a blink of an eye."

"You..."

Chen Yu spoke word by word, resolutely and forcefully, "You should become the sun!"

"..."

The Fat Neighbor stared blankly at Chen Yu, his mind a blank.

After a long while, it seemed as if his brain had understood everything. He suddenly grabbed Chen Yu's hands, "Brother! I misunderstood you!"

Chen Yu: "Being misunderstood is the fate of the expresser, isn't it?"
