I am a Big Villain

This whole arc warning: psychopath

This chapter warning: domestic violence

(Part 1 of the chapter only)

"Teacher Yan, you're right. There is a great hero in this world who will help good and honest children kill all the demons that harm them."

The little chubby boy tilted his head and nodded solemnly. Looking at those innocent eyes, Yan Chu calmly typed a line on the tablet and then moved it to the little boy's face.

"A great hero who truly protects children will not choose to kill those demons, but will help them stay away from the demons."

The original self had misled too many children before, and Yan Chu could not accuse the other party that these were all wrong.

At this age, these children should not be instilled with violent and bloody ideas, making them feel that killing was right as long as the killed person was a villain.

"Why?"

The chubby boy did not quite understand Yan Chu's topic typed on the tablet.

"But if we don't kill those demons, won't those demons find those children again?"

The little chubby boy's rhetorical question made Yan Chu unable to answer, and the conversation between the two fell into a stalemate.

"My mother used to cry every day because whenever he got drunk, he would hit her. Sometimes he used the broom at home, and when he was drunker, he would use the bottle and chair. I was locked in my room but could hear my mother crying. I called out to my father and mother until my throat became hoarse, but no one paid attention to me ever."

The little chubby boy sat on the grass in the flower bed, hugged his knees with his hands, and curled up into a ball: "Mom always said that she couldn't get a divorce because of me, but I don't need her to do this? I don't need to eat meat every meal, and I don't want Lego toys. I only want Mom not to be beaten. Those uncles and aunts let my mother bear it, saying that Dad was just drunk and confused for a while and he would change. But those fists did not hit them. How could they forgive in Mom's place?"

Pouring bitter water at once, the little boy said to Yan Chu, sobbing.

Children of this age were not considered old, but in a peculiar family, they were not lacking in sensitivity and vulnerability. They dared not tell others about some things, but Yan Chu had given them enough confidence that the other party would not reveal their secrets.

"Anyway, I am very happy now, Teacher Yan, thank you. Thank you for listening to me complaining so much. Mom and I will be free in the future and will live very happily every day."

The little chubby boy took out candy and put the candy in Yan Chu's hand like Yan Chu used to coax other students. Then he wiped away the tears on his face and trotted away. His steps were light and joyful, and one could imagine his current mood.

It was unknown how long the candy in his hand had been in the boy's pocket, and with the current weather especially hot, the sugar coating already stuck to the fruit candy inside.

Yan Chu put the candy into his mouth. The candy was sweet with a hint of sourness, and the taste was not bad.

This child…

A trace of worry flashed in his eyes, then his furrowed brow loosened again.

He was different.

He would not experience that true despair, and the nightmares that once troubled him had been cleared away, so he would not become another kind of demon.

The scene that had been bothering him appeared in his mind, and Yan Chu's head throbbed. The original self of this world had too much influence on him.

I really… really want to…

Kill!

"Xu Nan, you're back."

The apartment door opened, and a refined man with a briefcase entered from outside. With a cold face, he put on his slippers and sat on the sofa next to him. He rubbed the bridge of his nose and relieved the soreness in his eyes.

The words of his wife at home went unheard.

The expression on the wife's face, who appeared at Star Elementary School this morning with heavy make-up to ask for her child's leave, was somewhat awkward. She pulled her lips and spoke while pushing the little girl beside her.

"Duoduo, greet Dad quickly."

The eight-year-old little girl hugged her mother's thigh and hid behind her, showing her face timidly, not daring to speak.

"Xu Nan, let me pour you a glass of water."

The room felt too oppressive, and Zhang Li felt the growing impatience of her husband, ran into the kitchen in a panic, poured him a glass of water, and handed it to him.

"Damn, you want to burn me to death? Do you want me to die and then remarry with the little dumb you gave birth to, ah!"

The glass fell heavily to the ground with a loud bang, causing Zhang Li and the little girl behind her to take a step back. Part of the splattered fragments cut through Zhang Li's bare calf and made several little cuts. And her daughter behind her was protected by her, so she did not suffer any harm.

"Waa—"

Xu Duo's wailing made the man who had been outside all day more irritable. Zhang Li wanted to cover her daughter's mouth, but it was too late.

"Cry, cry, cry. Crying all day long, let you be dumb when you greet Dad. How can you cry and make a fuss now? I work hard to earn money outside for you to eat, wear, and study well. You are like your useless mother, here to suck my blood."

"No, it's not like that."

Zhang Li said while protecting her daughter, her body trembling slightly.

"Shut up for me."

Xu Nan instantly pulled Zhang Li's hair and said, "You dare to talk back to me? Do you know that you and this little brat are raised by me now, along with that useless trash from your natal family? Every time, they only cause me various troubles. You spend my money one by one, and you can't even serve a man well, so what's the use of you?"

He threw her heavily to the ground and kicked the woman hard one after another.

The child's crying became even more mournful. Zhang Li folded her hands and curled up, which was her experience after being beaten for many years. At least it could make the injuries on her body lighter.

"Ding dong— Ding dong—"

The doorbell rang, and Xu Nan stopped kicking and beating. Zhang Li was sobbing. Every time her body moved, it was a new pain.

"Hurry up and take your little bastard back to the room."

He looked coldly at the woman with messy hair and tears streaming down her face on the ground, without any emotion in his heart.

Domestic violence. The first time you panic and repent. The second time you felt guilty. The third time, the fourth time, and so on, would only become more and more accustomed to it. The only conscience you have was long gone.

Zhang Li complied obediently, held back her tears, picked up her daughter beside her, and walked into the room with her head down.

"Mr. Xu, is everything okay at home? I seem to have heard Duoduo crying just now?"

The person knocking on the door was the old lady living next door. She was standing outside the door, looking into the room.

"It's nothing. It's just that the child accidentally broke the glass, which scared her to cry. Lili coaxed the child to go, and I was about to clean up the broken glass fragments to avoid hurting the child in time."

In front of outsiders, Xu Nan always behaved impeccably and was praised by everyone as a fine gentleman and a good father.

"Oh, I see!"

The old lady looked at the spilled water and a few pieces of broken glass fragments in the corner of the living room. There was also a faint crying of the child in the bedroom, so she had no doubts.

"I thought something was wrong. Mr. Xu, take your time and clean it up. Sorry to have bothered you."

The old lady was still thinking that the noise just now was a quarrel between the newly moved couple, and she was thinking of trying to persuade them to reconcile. But she did not expect that she had misunderstood and almost caused an uproar, so she felt a bit embarrassed.

After closing the door, Xu Nan's face suddenly fell, and his complexion was gloomy.

When they moved, he forgot to inspect their neighbors. He did not expect that there was such a nosy old lady living nearby. It seemed that when he had more cash on hand, he still needed to consider changing to a single-family villa. These people already came to their house twice.

"Hurry up to clean up the living room. I'm staying at the office tonight and won't come back."

Xu Nan stood outside his daughter's bedroom and said, then took the briefcase from the entrance and left again.

After finally coaxing her daughter, who had been crying for a long time, to sleep and clean up the mess that Xu Nan had just created, Zhang Li did not bother to apply medicine to her wound and mustered the courage to call her parents.

"Mom—"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Zhang Li could not help but burst into tears.

"Xu Nan hit me again. I can't stand it anymore. I want to divorce." She sobbed uncontrollably. Anyone who was beaten day after day, without freedom or self-esteem, would not be able to stand it.

When they were just married, he was not like this. Why on earth did her life become like this?

"Divorce, are you out of your mind?"

The woman's voice on the other end of the phone was high-pitched and said, "Do you think you are young and can still find a job when you go out? There is still Duoduo. Do you think of what will happen to Duoduo if you divorce Xu Nan?"

"I can find a job as a teller, a waiter, or anything else. I can't live on this day." Zhang Li pleaded, hoping that her mother could understand her.

"How much money can you earn from these jobs? You can't even afford the tuition fees alone."

The woman on the other end of the phone still disagreed with her daughter's request for divorce: "Besides, Xu Nan is quite kind. What man is willing to let his wife stay home and enjoy life? Your brother's current job's arranged by Xu Nan. If you divorce Xu Nan and harm your younger brother for the rest of his life, you will be the sinner of our Zhang family. Don't recognize me and your father in the future."

The sharp voice passed into Zhang Li's ear, and she felt she was about to suffocate.

"Lili, Mom loves you."

It seemed that she also realized that the spoken words just now were too excessive, and the woman on the other side of the phone began to adopt a gentle approach: "But you also need to be considerate of Xu Nan. It's not easy for him to raise this family. He suffers from outside, so his temper will naturally become bad. If you do anything wrong, of course, you will provoke him. In the future, you will be more well-behaved and obedient to make Xu Nan less angry."

It was always like this. Although Xu Nan was the one who hit people, her mother asked her to find problems with herself. She did not know what to do so that Xu Nan would be satisfied and her mother would be too.

"The most important thing for you now is to take good care of your body. How old is Duoduo? You can have another baby now. Xu Nan isn't satisfied with you because you did not give him a son. How can he treat you well?"

"Also, you talked to Xu Nan about what Mom told you last time that your brother is getting married. As the sister and brother-in-law, whatever you do, you have to be meaningful. You know the situation at home, but the woman is now asking to buy a house, and there is still a shortage of 200,000 yuan. You need to help your younger brother…"

"Hello, did you hear that?"

"Lili, Lili? Wicked girl32Wicked girlusually used by the elder to scold the younger generation (girls) for being ignorant, what are you doing*22doing*from 干 [gàn] that can mean as to do or to f*ck (vulgar)?"

The handset was placed on the side until it hung up, and a busy signal sound came.

Zhang Li curled up on the sofa, tears already wetting the pillow beside her.
