Chapter 2

He had eaten to his heart’s content and spent several hundred yuan, yet he still felt weak, lightheaded, and powerless all over. It scared David Thompson; this wasn’t normal, not at all.

He had eaten so much that even he was frightened—there was definitely something wrong with his body. In the end, he bought a few things and decided to head back first. He’d better go to the hospital for a full check-up tomorrow.

From earlier until now, after eating like this, he didn’t even feel full or bloated. What was going on?

At this moment, he felt a bit better than at first. As he walked back, David Thompson was also reflecting.

On September 5th, although he drank quite a bit, it shouldn’t have caused any problems. What did he do after coming back?

Right, he seemed to remember finding a bundle on the table at the time, with some fruit or something inside. In a daze, he must have eaten something...

And then, he vaguely heard Brian Carter’s voice...

“Hmm...”

Just trying to recall these things made his head throb with pain.

“Stop him, don’t let him get away...”

“Damn it, I didn’t even get to see, beat him to death...”

“He dared to go to my goddess’s dorm, get him...”

…………

Just as David Thompson entered through the small north gate, his head aching from thinking, he suddenly heard a commotion in the distance, which snapped him out of his thoughts. He looked up.

He saw figures running in the distance, shouts ringing out, people chasing and yelling along the road.

At first, David Thompson thought it was a fight, but then someone came running from afar. Under the lights, that person was running fast.

What made David Thompson’s eyes widen was that above the man’s head, there were several black lines, along with black dots and red glowing points swirling around.

That’s right—several black lines, scattered black dots, and some red glowing points.

“Bang, bang, bang...”

Behind, someone was throwing stools, and others were cursing.

“Beat this peeping pervert to death, beat this creep...”

“Catch him, don’t let him get away...”

“Brothers up ahead, stop this creep...”

…………

That guy was running fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was charging toward David Thompson.

If it were before, David Thompson could have easily stopped him, but now he could barely stand, let alone make a move.

Even though he felt lightheaded, seeing that guy about to dash past him—and knowing that if he got into the snack street, with all the people and alleys, it would be hard to catch him—David Thompson took a deep breath. Watching the figure running along the wall, about to rush past him, he directly hurled the last two fried chickens he’d bought. Just that one move nearly made David Thompson lose his balance.

“Bang... ah...”

Luckily, his aim was good. The two roast chickens hit the guy right on the head, making him stumble and fall to the side.

As soon as he fell, the people behind quickly caught up.

There were security guards, a few basketball players, and some shirtless young men, all full of righteous indignation, piling on to beat him up.

A group of energetic young guys, faced with something like this, were all fired up—especially with a bunch of girls following behind, which made them even more enthusiastic.

“Nice one, bro! Are you okay? How many all-nighters have you pulled...”

Some who couldn’t squeeze in came over to greet David Thompson warmly.

“My fried chicken... those were whole chickens...” At this moment, David Thompson really wanted to stop them, because these guys even stomped his fried chicken to pieces, but no one was paying attention to that now.

After stopping the guy and letting a group of girls come up and kick him a few times, the security guards started to get things under control. Only then did David Thompson understand what was going on: this guy had actually gone to the girls’ dorm to peep, and even stole girls’ underwear.

For something like this to happen at school, it was lucky for the guy not to be beaten to death.

But right now, whether it was fighting or watching the commotion, David Thompson just didn’t have the strength or energy—he was too weak!

Although he really wanted to leave right away, he couldn’t help but think of what he’d just seen, so he waited until the crowd dispersed and the security guards escorted the peeping pervert, now beaten into a “pig’s head,” to the security office.

At that moment, David Thompson got a close look at the peeping pervert as he was led past by the security guards, and couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

What did he just see?

David Thompson rubbed his eyes—how could there really be black lines above that guy’s head?

One, two, three—three black lines, each about a meter long, and around them, some black and red glowing dots flickered.

Those black lines and dots looked just like a broken screen.

He’d only ever heard of someone’s brow turning dark, but never anything like this!

And those black lines and black and red glowing dots just floated above his head, floating...

Even more bizarre, no one else seemed to see them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be so calm—people kept hitting the peeping pervert on the head with things or their hands, but it didn’t affect the lines at all, as if they were just projected light.

But the most crucial thing was that after David Thompson saw those black lines and glowing dots floating above the guy’s head, his stomach started rumbling.

He was starving, and he really wanted to go “eat” those things...

The temptation, the overwhelming temptation—he could feel it. His body desperately needed those things right now.

He looked at the underclassmen, the security guards, and the dozens of onlookers around.
