Chapter 002 Son, Your Dad Is Right
"Besides, your dad is right!"
With your talent, staying at home would be a disaster.
"What if someone slips on a banana peel and falls to their death one day? Our neighborhood will be in danger! Your dad and I still have twelve years of mortgage payments to make..."
"Whether it's for the mortgage or for the neighbors, you have to leave!"
Lin Fan's lips twitched violently.
Good guy.
So you two are a family, and I'm the one who's superfluous?
It seems that my "Calamity Body" has finally found the correct instruction manual for me, thanks to these unscrupulous parents.
"Mom? Was I a free gift with a phone top-up?"
Lin Fan tried to hold down the suitcase.
"That's the land of cherry blossoms! I'll die! Really!"
"So what if you die? There's always resurrection!"
Mom stuffed the last pair of red underwear inside.
"Just consider it fulfilling your father's dream, and you're willing to die a little."
"Yes, yes, son, your mother is right!" The old man nodded repeatedly from the side.
At the same time, he was holding his phone and fiddling with it, seemingly sending something to someone.
If this were to make Lin Fan peek at the old man's phone, he would definitely widen his eyes in surprise.
On the chat interface above, a message was being displayed.
[Hide Lin Fan's information and send him abroad.]
"To die a little...?"
Looking at these unscrupulous parents, Lin Fan felt his worldview collapsing.
Have these two elderly people gone mad?
However, no one paid him any attention at that moment.
They continued to do their own thing, completely ignoring Lin Fan's opinion.
Even the family's golden retriever, "Wangcai," seemed to understand, nudging the suitcase with its head and barking twice, as if to say:
"Go quickly, for your father's sake."
Lin Fan was stunned by this absurd scene.
So, after living in this family for 18 years, I've become the most marginalized one.
This family is full of wicked people.
"Dad, Mom, are you serious?"
Lin Fan attempted a final struggle:
"I'm untrained and don't speak the language..."
"Nonsense!"
Lin Jianguo had already booked the tickets, his face beaming, and his large, fan-like hands almost slapped Lin Fan into the sofa.
"Son, don't worry."
"You don't need to know the language of cherry blossoms."
"You don't need to know how to fight."
"Once you get there, just remember one word: 'Live it up!'"
"Go where there are lots of people!"
If anyone dares to hit you, just put your face right in theirs!
Don't embarrass yourself!
If anyone tries to hit you, let them beat you to death!
Lin Fan looked at his father's face, which was contorted with excitement, and then at his mother, who was stuffing things into the box.
It’s over.
crazy!
The whole family, even the dog, went crazy.
"Dad, I still think..."
"It doesn't matter what you think, it's up to me."
Lin Jianguo raised his hand to interrupt,
"This is a momentous event that will bring glory to our ancestors!"
This is all I've accomplished in my life!
You are the hope of our Lin family. After you die, I will personally erect a monument for you!
"Sizzle!"
At that moment, Mom pulled her suitcase and slapped a bank card against his chest:
"Son, there's 30,000 yuan in here, it's my secret stash of money."
The password is your birthday.
"Don't be stingy when you get there, eat whatever you want."
She paused, then added insult to injury:
"After all, this is considered a last meal before death; we have to die with a full stomach."
Lin Fan: "..."
Lin Fan held the bank card, looking at these two utterly despicable parents who wanted to send their own son to become a suicide bomber, and a million curses ran through his mind.
So, it turns out that Mom and Dad are the real love!
I was the one who was the accident!
Lin Fan glanced at the TV, utterly speechless, watching the newly awakened Sakura who was still giving the middle finger.
A surge of evil fire shot up from the tailbone to the top of the head.
If this woman hadn't come out and bragged, would he have been treated like this?
An S-rank Awakened One, right?
Row!
I'll remember you!
Lin Fan pushed aside the suitcase his mother had just prepared, a ruthless glint in his eyes.
"Mom, there's no need to prepare this. Your son is going to die anyway, bringing too much will only be a burden."
"Since she wants to see what a Chinese Awakened One is, then I'll show her what it's like..."
Landed and immediately eliminated, the entire map is bombarded!
"Son, well done!"
"Don't embarrass the Lin family after this!"
……
It was past ten o'clock at night.
Jianghai International Airport.
The lobby was brightly lit, but there weren't many passengers.
Lin Fan only had a backpack.
Inside were cooked food and pork and scallion dumplings that I had packed from home.
As for a change of clothes, I'm sorry!
The less equipment you have, the better you can go.
I'm going to my death anyway, so bringing too many people along would just be a burden!
Only the old man came to see him off.
My mother didn't come, not because she was heartless, but because, in her words, she couldn't bear the thought of being separated from someone by life and death.
The old man had bad legs and walked slowly, but his back was as straight as a javelin.
Judging from his demeanor, someone who didn't know better would have thought he was going to his son's military parade, rather than sending his son to "die" in a foreign land.
"Son."
The old man walked along in a low voice, making himself sound like a spy making a rendezvous:
"Walk around there a lot, scout out the area. Make sure to find places with lots of people."
"For example, that Ginza area, and that Shibuya Crossing."
"The more people, the better; if we're going to die, we're going to die on the edge of a blade."
Lin Fan yawned and, looking utterly dejected, lifted his backpack up a little higher.
"Old man, you've said it eight hundred times in the car."
I'm going to commit suicide, not to carry out a terrorist attack, although the outcome is pretty much the same...
Several passengers with suitcases nearby were startled and walked around the father and son with frightened eyes.
Lin Jianguo glared at the passersby, scaring them away, then turned back to continue his speech.
"You don't know anything! I'm only talking about tactics!"
"If you just randomly die in some alley, triggering an earthquake will only cause two walls to collapse. What good will that do?"
"If you're going to die, die spectacularly."
"It would be best if that awakened S-type individual killed you with their own hands!"
"In that case, that woman might get caught up in it too!"
Lin Fan nodded helplessly:
"I know, it's just a staged accident."
The two walked to the security checkpoint.
Lin Jianguo stopped in his tracks.
He looked at Lin Fan, and a complex emotion finally showed in his eyes.
It was a feeling of both reluctance and anticipation.
He reached out and roughly straightened Lin Fan's collar, his strength almost strangling Lin Fan to death.
"Son."
"hold head high."
"Although the talent description says it can revive, no one has ever tried it."
Lin Jianguo's voice lowered.
Lin Fan felt a warmth in his heart.
He's still my biological father, even in a crucial moment...
"Dad, maybe I shouldn't go, and I should come home and take the civil service exam..."
"Bullshit! What future is there in taking the civil service exam?"
Lin Jianguo's expression changed instantly.
"Besides, the tickets are already bought, they can't be refunded! The handling fee is several hundred! Do you think our money grows on trees?"
Lin Fan: "..."
Give me back my gratitude!
Lin Jianguo coughed to cover his embarrassment, then said seriously:
"What I mean is, in case... I mean, in case there's a bug and you don't survive."
"Don't be afraid."
"You sacrificed yourself for your country; you are a martyr!"
"When the time comes, I'll have your mom burn you the biggest paper villa ever made, the kind with a swimming pool."
I'll burn you a few more paper effigies of popular girl groups, and they'll go downstairs to serve you.
Lin Fan rolled his eyes:
"You should still hope for me, okay?"
If I really die, the Lin family line will end!
"It's okay, the country has allowed three children, your mother and I can still try."
Lin Jianguo patted his chest.
Lin Fan was completely speechless.
It is said that fatherly love is as solid as a mountain.
But his fatherly love came like a landslide or mudslide, unstoppable.
"Attention passengers traveling to Tokyo Haneda Airport..."
Just then, the boarding announcement began over the loudspeaker.
"Alright, get out of here!" Lin Jianguo waved his hand.
Lin Fan sighed and tightened his grip on his bag.
"Old man, I'm leaving."
This journey is like a human nuclear bomb entering the battlefield; life and death are left to fate.
They had only taken a couple of steps.
A loud shout suddenly came from behind:
"Lin Fan!!!"
His voice was strong and clear, and the entire security checkpoint could hear it.
Lin Fan immediately felt an urge to cover his face.
That's fucking shameful!
But in the end, he still gritted his teeth and turned back.
I saw my father standing outside the cordon, his legs together, his lame leg stretched perfectly straight.
He slowly raised his right hand.
salute!
The movements were precise, with a slight tremor in the fingertips.
The old man's eyes were red, but he stared wide-eyed at Lin Fan.
"You'd better live up to my reputation! If you're going to die, die a spectacular death! If you don't make a name for yourself, don't come back to see me!"
The hall was deathly silent.
The surrounding passengers were all dumbfounded.
Is this a farewell or a funeral?
Lin Fan felt the strange looks around him and wished he could disappear into the ground.
Shame!
That's so damn embarrassing!
But looking at that middle-aged man who was a little overweight and balding on top, yet stood like a monument.
In an instant, the resentment and helplessness in his heart suddenly dissipated.
Although this old man is unreliable.
Although the plan sounds like a joke.
But Lin Fan could sense the old man's deep-seated passion and masculinity.
That is the stubbornness that belongs unique to the older generation of Chinese people.
Even if I am an ordinary person, even if my son is a good-for-nothing.
As long as the country needs it, as long as it can disgust the enemy.
They could even throw their own sons like cannonballs.
His father was that kind of person.
He always knew!
But is it really appropriate for you to shout like that? Won't you get detained at the airport?
However, to his surprise, apart from the astonished passengers, the security personnel in the entire airport seemed not to have heard anything.
They didn't even glance in this direction.
He stood there stunned for a while before raising his hand to give the old man a thumbs up. Without saying a word, he strode into the security checkpoint without looking back.
Lin Jianguo maintained his salute until Lin Fan's figure disappeared.
He wiped his face, grinned at the dumbfounded cleaning lady next to him, and looked on with pride:
"See that? That's my son."
"That kid...go check on Tokyo for his father and see if it's really hot!"
Cleaning lady: "..."
Are you sick?
I'm already so old, why are you telling me this?
The security personnel around him who heard his words were speechless.
Just what kind of weirdo is this person?
Why would someone from above give such a special instruction?
