The fall shocked not only the man who lay on the stage, dazed and wondering how he ended up there,
But also the crowd, whose chanting ceased like an unplugged speaker, sending the atmosphere into a ghostly silence.
Someone in the crowd checked their phone recording just to make sure what their eyes saw aligned with what the camera caught.
Cheng Yuan pushed himself off the floor, standing up from his squatting position.
Looking down at the defeated man, he asked once more, "Why did you attack me?"
The man, who looked listless, cursed and, without warning, spat at Cheng Yuan, sneering, "Want to green me, bastard? You're some years late, boy."
"Green?!" Cheng Yuan exclaimed. 'How come I didn't know I greened someone?'
After that, no matter how hard Cheng Yuan tried, he couldn't pry anything else from the man's lips, who had already resigned himself to whatever happened next, including Social Death.
