"Did I talk to you?"
It was a sentence filled with coldness, so much so that Ben Wang shook his head and answered involuntarily, "N-no."
"Do you want to?" Sian shifted his gaze from Ben Wang to Tong Xiao. His patience was running thin with these people.
It seemed that Tong Xiao had noticed this, so he used all his strength to speak a long sentence in one breath: "I want to, no, I must do this. Please, help me."
"Hmmm," Sian murmured, then looked back at Ben Wang. "And you, are you going to take responsibility for carrying him to the hut?"
"Ah—yes, yes, he's my brother. I'll do it, I can do it, I swear."
"What are you trying to do, kid? Don't try to act like a hero in such a dangerous situation, just stay back—"
Kim Hyun spoke and tried to place his hand on Sian's shoulder from behind.
Suddenly, Sian grabbed the hand, which had just tried to touch his shoulder, then twisted it, and in two quick steps, Sian was behind Kim Hyun in the blink of an eye.
Kim Hyun's hand hurt, but what scared him even more, and made his pain worse, causing sweat to trickle down his forehead, was the shining light on his neck.
It was a knife...
At some point, Sian pulled out a relatively large military knife from the edge of his bag on his back and placed it against Kim Hyun's neck. All of this happened in a second, and almost no one reacted. Those who did didn't care to move.
"I don't like anyone approaching me from behind and touching me. Don't you ever do it again? Do you hear me?"
"Y-you—remove this from me first; I'm bleeding; take it away." When Kim Hyun saw that Sian didn't move, he stuttered again, "I understand, I understand, I'm sorry, please take the knife away."
Finally, Sian moved and stepped away from Kim Hyun, who felt like he had nearly lost half of his life.
Everyone stood there, mouths agape \0/, who could blame them? Even if their mouths watered, the scene they had witnessed was shocking in every sense of the word. Even the internet had stopped due to the overwhelming pressure. The audience was boiling with disbelief, surprise, and excitement.
"Oh my God, someone pinches me."
"Shit, shit, am I dreaming? Is this real?"
"Wow, fuck! I told you our angel was strong, but he stunned me. From today, I'm a fan of the angel."
"Wow, did that teenager just ambush the expert and put a knife to his neck?"
"Ah, police! Call the police... there's a murder happening."
"Get out of here! What murder? No one's dead, and Coach Kim is at fault. Even I get tense if someone touches me from behind... ahem though my scribbles can't compare to the angel's power."
"I have one thing to say to Coach Kim Hyun: Are your muscles just for show? Huh? Is that huge body just a balloon?"

...
In the forest, Sian was walking beneath the large green trees, with strands of sunlight filtering through and falling on his face. He held the military knife and stood in a random posture, but it looked like the most exquisite art ever. A masterpiece!
Lan Qisheng was thrilled...
The others were no less impressed, and when he saw their eyes filled with admiration for the young man in front of him, for some reason, he wished he could dig their eyes out. "No, what am I thinking? Get a hold of yourself, Qisheng."
While this poor mysterious man was suffering from a psychological disorder, Sian approached Tong Xiao and spoke. This time, the tone of his voice made it clear how angry he was, and how hard he was trying to suppress his frustration and displeasure.
"Listen, you said you wanted to stay, so I'll help you. But I don't want any complaints or anything. Say one more word and I'll leave you and go. No, don't say anything. I'm not in the mood to hear anything from anyone right now". Sian said when he saw Tong Xiao about to speak.
"You've been poisoned by hemlock. It's a toxic plant, a perennial that grows up to 2.5 meters tall. Its leaves resemble parsley, and its small white flowers form an umbrella shape. It contains a potent toxin called Coniine, which can cause poisoning just by touching or inhaling it." Sian said all this in one breath, sounding like an experienced teacher instructing his students, but his face held no patience at all.
While speaking, he had gathered several dry branches suitable for starting a fire, then took out a matchbox from the bag they were given before entering the forest.
As the fire ignited, he placed the military knife he had used earlier on the flames, then continued, "When the poison enters the body, symptoms such as pale lips, nausea, dizziness, and muscle paralysis appear. This poison is not fatal. There are several ways to rid the body of the toxin, and since you don't want to give up and go for medical care, we'll do the quickest and simplest way to get rid of it."
While saying this, he took the knife and brought it closer to his face, with the red color from the high heat of the knife on its blade.
Ben Wang was terrified and was about to speak when Tong Xiao grabbed him and stared at him. They were friends, more than brothers, and Ben Wang knew exactly what Tong Xiao meant. He didn't want him to middle.
Sian was relieved because Tong Xiao seemed like a smart man. Not only did he understand what Sian meant, but he also remembered his words and stopped his friend from causing chaos.
But that didn't mean the others stayed quiet. Words of disapproval, disbelief, and refusal rained down on Sian's head, but he paid them no mind.
"Are you ready?"
"Y-yes."
"Ughh, hmmmph."
The moment Tong Xiao said "yes," Sian stepped forward, embracing him. Tong Xiao was surprised, but before he could react, a burning pain shot from the lower right side of his back. It was so painful that he couldn't control his voice.
At the same time, as he screamed, Sian covered his mouth with his hand, speaking in a calm, gentle voice: "It's okay, it'll be over soon."
A tear fell from Tong Siao's light brown eyes, and his blonde hair, dripping with sweat and tears, fell over his eyes.
