Electronic Nezha

Chapter 73 "Ninja"

My brain hurts!
That was my first feeling after I blew the whistle. The noise it made gave me a headache!
No wonder Yuan Yuan wouldn't let me blow the whistle as loudly as I wanted to. This thing is just as shocking as a train whistle; it could probably shake open a mild stroke!
The person blowing the whistle had a headache, and the person listening to the whistle naturally had an earache. The four people were already very close to me, but after my whistle, they all hunched over and covered their ears.

Although I didn't summon Hao Hao for the time being, at least it worked. Seeing this, I immediately went into a berserk state of being unforgiving and puffed out my cheeks to blow as much as I could.

"Beep beep beep—beep beep beep—"

However, this time the effect was obviously not as good as the first time. This thing made a name for itself in one battle because it caught the opponent off guard. As for how strong its physical attack was, that's not necessarily true. In ancient times, beacon fires were lit to summon troops. When have you ever seen a beacon fire burn the enemy to ashes?
Half of the lights in the residential buildings on both sides were originally off, but now many of them have been turned on again.

"Whose kids don't anyone take care of?"

"Are you trying to die?"

"Where is the mourning?"

Curses drifted out from different windows.

The leader covered his ear with one hand and shook it vigorously with the other, saying, "Stop bragging! If you keep bragging, we'll really get rough with you!"

They spoke as if they'd ever been polite to me. Taking advantage of my last moments of freedom, I put the whistle in my mouth and blew it, creating the sound of a village woman calling her children home for dinner in the evening. The whistle sounded almost like a shout:

Hao Hao—Hao Hao—

I don't know if Hao Hao can understand, and we haven't had time to agree on a special code. If I had a choice, I'd actually like to sing "Mandarin Duck Tea" from the bathhouse rendezvous scene in the comedy film "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth"...

The leader angrily said, "I'll only count to one. If you don't throw that thing away, I'll knock you out and take you away."

Damn, you only have one chance left, right?

Puff out your cheeks and blow!

Hao Hao—Hao Hao—

At that critical moment, I watched as a figure approached us from afar. He moved incredibly fast, leaping and crouching like a professional parkour athlete, and in an instant, he jumped over the community wall and stood on the safety net of the second-floor balcony closest to us. The four people surrounding me also witnessed this bizarre scene.

Hao Hao looked down at us from his high vantage point, his body radiating heat from the sweat rising in the winter night.

"No one can take my brother away unless he wants to," Hao Hao said indifferently.

The leader looked on in surprise, but still said, "If I say it's okay, then it's okay."

"You can try!" When Hao Hao ran, it looked like he was wearing a smoking suit. When he stood still, the sweat was billowing like clouds, making him look like a god descending from heaven.

Damn, that's so cool. I'm starting to regret giving the chip to that idiot...

The leader finally made his move. His idea was straightforward: to control me first!

We weren't far apart to begin with, and in a flash, I felt his agile figure move, and a hand full of blue veins grabbed my collar.

Hao Hao kicked the protective netting with his toe, and a bird dropping frozen on the railing shot out like a bullet from a sniper rifle, hitting the enemy's hand.

The leader trembled as he retreated, his hands covered in blood.

"What kind of monster is this?" the short, fat man shouted, but he reacted quickly and pounced on me along with the other two.

Hao Hao leaped lightly, his heavy leather shoes tapping against the short, fat man's shin without any apparent force. Yet, the short, fat man was already airborne in an arc, crashing headfirst to the ground. The person next to him grabbed his chest while he was still in mid-air and forcefully pulled him back down!
These guys are actually quite skilled!
The other person directly in front of me was also quite brave. He grabbed Hao Hao's arm with one hand while using both hands. I've seen this kind of routine in short videos, whether it's for beginners in combat sports or for comedic commentary—even if you're stronger than your opponent, if they grab you with both hands and twist or back you, they can still subdue you by using their skills.

Hao Hao didn't even think about defusing the situation. He simply used the elbow of the arm that was being grabbed to lightly sweep it across his opponent's throat. The man clutched his neck and staggered back, vomiting with a "whoosh".

"This time I'll use three-tenths of my strength, next time I'll use seven-tenths, and you'll die!" This was Hao Hao's warning.

Tsk tsk, without a worthy opponent, what's the point of fighting? The man who had helped the short, fat guy gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and stared intently at Hao Hao, still looking for an opportunity to strike. He seemed to respect Hao Hao, and if you asked him, he might agree verbally, but he still wanted to try his luck…

Yeah, if it were me, I'd have to bite the bullet and go for it too. If four of you came and the other three got beaten up, and you were the only one who went back unscathed, wouldn't those three ostracize you from now on?
"Stop fighting, retreat!" This was the order given by the leader.

"Brother Feng?" This is Hao Hao asking for my opinion; he needs my permission to withdraw!
They hit me... No, they think they can just leave after being hit? There's no way they'd let me get away with that so easily. At least I need to find out where they came from, right?

However, in that very moment, the leader suddenly pulled out a mineral water bottle and smashed it on the ground with a loud "bang." The bottle immediately burst out with a lot of choking smoke, and the others did the same.

"Bang bang bang-"

Smoke filled the space between the two buildings in an instant. Caught off guard, I coughed repeatedly from the choking. Hao Hao grabbed my clothes from behind and we were in a few flashes to a place with fresh air.

"Whose unlucky kid got into trouble playing with fire!"

"If you don't do something about it, we'll call the police!"

The residents in the apartment building started cursing even more fiercely.

"Brother Feng, are you alright?"

I rubbed my eyes and said, "It's nothing—but something's wrong, you have to come home with me right now!" Chen Bing has brought in such elite troops, there's no guarantee they won't try to harm Liu Zhenhua!
At this moment, Liu Zhenhua appeared, wearing their winter school uniform on his upper body and only a pair of long underwear on his legs, holding a badminton racket in his hand. He had heard the whistle and knew that I was in trouble, so he rushed over to rescue his father.

Seeing that Liu Zhenhua was alright finally put my mind at ease.

"I didn't expect it to be four ninjas again." I felt like joking.

"It's not a ninja!" Hao Hao said, twitching his nose. "It's a homemade smoke bomb made by mixing potassium permanganate and sugar."

I asked curiously, "You know about this too?"

Hao Hao scratched his head and said, "I don't know why, it just seems to come naturally to me."

Liu Zhenhua said, "Because I also stored some wilderness survival... and military knowledge in that chip."

I pointed at Liu Zhenhua and said to Hao Hao, "Strictly speaking, this is your number 0."

Hao Hao said, "Thank you."

"No need, just protect my dad."

"Don't worry, even if I die, I won't let Brother Feng get hurt in the slightest!"

I looked at Liu Zhenhua and then at Hao Hao: "Shall we chat here or go home and talk about it later?" Only then did I realize that Hao Hao was only wearing a pair of long johns. The three of us couldn't even scrape together two pairs of pants, yet we were still analyzing the situation.

Hao Hao said, "I have to go back. My mom just fell asleep when Brother Feng blew the whistle. I don't know what to say if she can't sleep soundly and finds out I'm missing."

My eyes lit up and I said, "You know that's your mom?"

"Everyone has been saying this these past few days, so I can only accept it."

I sighed inwardly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Then you should go quickly."

Hao Hao said, "Brother Feng, if you need anything, just blow the whistle, just like this, it'll be like you're calling my name."

I greeted him and asked where he lived. It was an old neighborhood, and the biggest difference between it and my fifth-floor apartment was that it wasn't in a good school district. It was at least a kilometer away from me. From the time I blew my whistle to when Hao Hao arrived, I only delayed him for about two minutes. An idiot ran a kilometer in those two minutes. You can tell how fast he was just by the fact that he arrived before Liu Zhenhua.

However, he can't always be this fast. It's 11 p.m. now, almost the dead of night, and he can cross the road and scale walls to reach his destination in a straight line. If it were daytime, it would take more than twice as long.
