Chapter 4: Escape

Su Hao had experienced many ways of dying and now lacked a strong fear of death. This allowed him to look rather calm.

The threat of death was right in front of him. The way he saw it, there was an 80-90% chance of being doomed, but he didn’t plan on going down easily.

The murderer’s eyes were bloodshot, his thinking was all messed up. The machete that he was swinging around slashing wildly wasn’t hitting anything.

Su Hao watched the blade’s pathing. He shrank his head back and rolled to the side, dodging the murderer’s hasty slashes. Then he got up and began to run towards the children’s playground. There were a lot of obstacles there, maybe he could hide there.

The murderer slashed nothing but air. He didn’t think much of it. He was about to slash again when he saw the cool kid continuing to roll, climb, and run to the side.

Run? You think you can run? A cruel light flashed through the murderer’s eyes and he began to chase.

Su Hao caught a glimpse of the murderer behind him catching up in just a few steps, raising the machete to slash again. He calmly anticipated where the knife would fall. His right shoulder.

Su Hao dropped to the ground, the machete glancing over his head, almost taking the blade to the head.

Just as he was going to get up and continue running, he discovered his ankle had been grabbed by a strong hand. He was pulled back, and no matter how he struggled, he couldn’t prevent his body from sliding back.

“It’s over!” Su Hao sighed in his heart. There really wasn’t any way to survive past 5 years old.

The murderer gleefully revealed a smile. This annoying brat couldn’t run away anymore. He raised his knife for the third time and slashed it at Su Hao’s back.

“Da!”

The machete slashed and hit the plastic board on Su Hao’s back, was bounced back, and made a crisp sound.

The murderer was stunned. He couldn’t believe it and slashed again. The blade still bounced back. He lifted Su Hao’s clothes and the two plastic boards on Su Hao’s front and back fell out. A fierce light rose in the murderer’s eyes. Impatiently, he raised the machete again for the last time. He wanted to see how this annoying brat would block or dodge!

As the plastic boards fell, Su Hao grabbed some loose sand from his pocket and tossed it at the murderer’s eyes.

The murderer subconsciously released Su Hao’s ankle and raised his hands in front of his eyes. Although he blocked most of the sand, the distance was too close. Su Hao had tossed the sand too abruptly. Some of the sand entered the murderer’s eyes.

“Ah!” The murderer screamed, frantically blinking and rubbing his eyes.

Su Hao rolled and got up. He punched the murderer’s crotch as hard as he could.

“Ow—” The murderer’s machete slipped out of his hands as he squatted down painfully covered his bits.

Su Hao immediately ran out the door.

The sand would automatically be cleaned out by the eyes and the pain from the punch would only last a few more seconds before recovering. At that time, he wouldn’t be able to run anymore. This time, if the murderer grabbed the machete again, he didn’t have a way to resist anymore.

Su Hao ran out the door without issue. Once he was out, he saw some 30-40 year old men holding batons, charging towards the classroom.

“Phew. The reinforcements finally arrived!” Su Hao breathed a sigh of relief as he kept running forwards until he was picked up by a male stranger.

The man carried him into the crowd, placed him among the protected children, then turned around and charged back into the classroom.

At this time, the group of children were loudly crying. Seeing Su Hao join them, they were stunned for a bit. Then Su Hao’s vision swept over them and the kids actually stopped crying loudly. They carefully turned their heads away and sobbed silently.

Soon, the murderer in the classroom was subdued by those men. There were also sounds of ambulances and police cars in the distance.

Su Hao excitedly waved his small hands. He was safe for now.

Up until now, because of his excessive tension, his heart had been beating wildly and rapidly, his breathing was ragged, and his face was completely red.

Whenever he was a bit panicked, it led to mistakes. Now, he could just lie down and wait for rescue. He hadn’t thought his small body could block that gleaming machete.

The most dangerous time was when the murderer had grabbed onto his ankle. He was already like a fish on the chopping block. If the murderer hadn’t been chopping at his back and had gone for the head, he would surely have died.

After Su Hao calmed down, he discovered the changes in himself. In the past, he definitely would never have been able to stay rational and think flexibly when faced with such a ruthless killer.

After so many deaths, reincarnations, and dying again, his mental fortitude had become much stronger. The more critical the moment, the more calmly he could analyze the problem.

But that wasn’t a completely good thing. He had lost his fear of death. This was a terrifying thought. This was equivalent to losing the desire to survive in desperate situations.

Soon the situation was resolved. The area was cordoned off, the police brought the murderer away, the injured kids and the security guards were rushed to the hospital for treatment. The kindergarten teacher also contacted the parents to pick up their kids. A flock of reporters arrived to make the news.

When Huang Shujun arrived full of anxiety, seeing Su Hao completely fine, tears poured out like a flood bursting through a dike. She tightly hugged Su Hao and refused to let go.

Su Hao was glad from the bottom of his heart that he was still alive. If he had died again today, how much pain and self-blame would this mother have to go through.

……

Soon, a video began to circulate.

In the video, a tiny boy dodged past the murderer’s machete, finally counter-attacking the murderer and escaping with his life.

The boy in the video was precisely Su Hao.

The comment section below exploded.

“Holy shit, unbelievable. This is the legendary David vs Goliath.”

“Who is this kid. He’s so handsome, so handsome!”

“Just now, our boss loudly yelled: Awesome! I’m from a fighting club.”

“I admit that I would lose to this kid in a fight…”

“That’s been shown!”

“The criminal was probably locked away because of this kid’s efforts.”

“I might not be able to beat this kid. Am I too weak?”

“Be more confident. There’s no ‘might’ there.”

“This is unprecedented!”

“I had thought the performances in the movies were too ridiculous. After seeing this video, I found out that reality is even more ridiculous!”

“It should be known that one person is not the same as the next person.”

“Who is this kid? I want to marry him. I’m willing to wait ten years for him.”

“To the beast above, ten years later he’ll still only be 15 or 16! How would that work?”

“I don’t know if anyone noticed, but that child was calm during the whole thing. As soon as he realized there was the criminal, the first thing he did was grab those two blocks to protect himself. He even grabbed some sand and put it in his pockets. I can only say he’s too amazing. An absolute genius.”

Su Hao became famous and known as a genius.

After watching the video, everyone had to recognize that there were geniuses in this world. There’s no denying it.
