Sharon was once a member of an acrobatic troupe. After a tragic accident, he suffered a deep facial scar that required thirty stitches, forever altering his handsome appearance. From his forehead to his left cheek, a sloping scar marred his face.
His girlfriend left him, and the acrobatic troupe offered him compensation and encouraged him to leave. Sharon felt heartbroken and confused by the coldness of those around him. It wasn't until a girl screamed and called him scary that he realized how others viewed him.
Sharon wandered for a long time, eventually finding solace in learning the art of face-changing from Sichuan Opera masters. The need to wear a mask during performances provided him with a sense of security. However, the contrast between the applause from the audience and the scorn from his peers behind the scenes left him deeply saddened.
As Sharon's character became increasingly distorted, he grew more reclusive. Awakening his beast talent opened a new world for him, and he took pleasure in fighting alongside his demon monkeys.
After becoming an Awakener, Sharon took revenge on those who had mocked him, feeling justified in punishing those he deemed heartless. He considered every act of murder a form of justice.
Before each killing, Sharon indulged in his passion for face-changing, using it as a dramatic prelude to his actions. His newfound strength, coupled with the respect he earned, gave him a sense of accomplishment.
Sharon learned from an alchemist about the King Kong Pill, which could make one invincible for five seconds. To refine such powerful pills, gold was required. Despite considering bank robbery, Sharon, who once aspired to be a soldier, abandoned the idea.
Instead, Sharon took over a new venture to acquire gold for pill refinement. He brought five demon monkeys with him to the boys' dormitory.
Sharon communicated with the demon monkeys. Three of them dispersed to guard the dormitory: one at the back, one on the left, and one on the right. The remaining two stayed with Sharon.
Sharon positioned the two demon monkeys at the dormitory gate. To outsiders, these demon monkeys appeared terrifying, but to Sharon, they were just his pets. He arranged this to prevent anyone from sneaking away while keeping a close watch.
Sharon entered the courtyard of the boys' dormitory and began his performance, accompanied by the face-changing BGM of Sichuan Opera.
Xian Moumou, who was broadcasting live, heard the music and became curious. He walked to the dormitory door, moved to the corridor, and spotted Sharon.
In the live broadcast room, viewers reacted to the scene and the music.
"Wow, ancestral BGM! I've heard it online."
"Change it up, haha."
"Uncle Xian, is this a surprise you set up for us?"
"Toothbrush, there's even a show?"
...
Xian Moumou, puzzled, didn't recognize the person and assumed it was part of a performance. Sharon's old mask didn't seem frightening to him; he thought it was just a theatrical act.
As the Sichuan Opera BGM played, Sharon's rhythm intensified. He changed his face rapidly, cycling through various roles—Sheng, Dan, Jing, Mo, and Ugly—and donned five different costumes.
The live broadcast room was abuzz with excitement.
"Who is this person? Impressive!"
"I love this performance. Did Uncle Xian arrange this?"
"Uh, why do I get the feeling this person might be trouble?"
"Look at those two big black shadows at the door. I can't tell what they are."
...
The music continued, and Sharon changed into a Monkey King mask and costume, mimicking a monkey's appearance.
Liang Fu and Cai Cheng enjoyed the performance, unaware of the danger approaching.
Sharon changed his face again, this time to a mask split between a woman in Tsing Yi and an old man, which looked rather strange. He even gestured with an orchid finger.
The live broadcast room was full of amused comments.
"Wow, this person's face changes a lot."
"This mask is creepy."
"Uncle Xian, are you talking? Did you arrange for this performance?"
...
Xian Moumou watched Sharon's performance with increasing curiosity, trying to understand his intentions.
Sharon continued his face-changing act, eventually donning a clown mask and white costume.
The BGM ended.
Sharon took a bow towards the dormitory building, and the applause from students filled the air.
Under the mask, Sharon's smile turned sinister.
The performance was over, but Sharon's true purpose was just beginning: he was ready to kill.
