Rebellious Game C28.2

Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂

Chp28. part2

Lin Qin froze in surprise as Brother Zhao, his bodyguard, hoisted him up like a child and settled him astride his shoulders.

“Don’t move,” Brother Zhao said, his expression grim. “It’s too crowded here. I can’t guarantee your safety on the ground.”

Being perched so high, Lin Qin found he could breathe much more easily. However, he was now an incredibly conspicuous target, drawing the gaze of the crowd.

Still, losing face is better than losing my life, he thought.

Setting aside his embarrassment, Lin Qin sat obediently on Brother Zhao’s shoulders, cooperating as the bodyguard carved a path through the throng.

Brother Zhao was truly a man of his word. His massive build and immense strength kept the crowd from pressing in too closely. Instead of pushing deeper or trying to force his way out, he found a corner to stand in, waiting for the panic to subside and for people to regain their senses.

Yun Xin had already called the police. She grabbed a megaphone from a staff member, moved to the very edge of the crowd, and shouted, “A girl has fainted from asphyxiation! Pass her out first!”

“Don’t trample! There’s someone on the ground!”

“Stay calm! Everyone, stop moving!”

Her words were mostly slogans, but their sheer volume made them effective. Gradually, people began to listen.

As they calmed down and surveyed the chaos in front of the stadium, a wave of terror washed over the crowd. They stopped pushing inward and instead tried to back away.

But in the initial surge, some people had been crushed at the bottom, unable to move. Those above them were piled up like a human pyramid, pinning each other down—no one could escape.

After Yun Xin finished shouting, seeing that everyone was willing to cooperate, she handed the megaphone to a passerby and asked her to continue. She then rolled up her sleeves and joined the rescue efforts.

Many people were piled on top of each other, making it truly difficult to pull them out. The only way was to have the surrounding people cooperate—pushing, stepping on shoulders, or stepping on backs.

Yun Xin lent a hand, helping to get people out.

Time ticked by, second by second.

The situation gradually improved.

When the police arrived and joined the rescue, more and more people were freed.

Brother Zhao spotted an opening and pulled the hapless boss out. “See how dangerous it was? Don’t go running off recklessly next time.”

Lin Qin wanted to argue—he wasn’t a three-year-old child, after all. But the things he’d done were indeed more dangerous than the last, leaving him with absolutely no ground to stand on.

So in the end, he shut his mouth sullenly and obediently took the scolding.

Yun Xin then said, “I warned you not to go in, but you ignored me.”

Brother Zhao snorted coldly. “He was so focused on going in to hear the live version; how could he have the energy to care what you said?”

“Who could have thought things would turn out like this?” Lin Qin looked at the people wailing on the ground and the unconscious fans, still shaken. “The people behind were like mad, desperately pushing forward. Some even lost their minds, constantly elbowing those around them. I even got hit a few times.”

Lin Qin rubbed his chest as he spoke, feeling like this whole trip had been a massive waste.

“Some people passed out from suffocation,” Yun Xin guessed. “The elbowing was probably an attempt to create space around themselves so they wouldn’t suffocate to death.”

Brother Zhao looked at his unlucky boss. “I threw away the light stick just to free up my hands. Are we still going to watch the concert?”

At this point, Lin Qin was completely not  in the mood to watch the concert. But if he didn’t, what was the point of all the tossing and turning he’d been through this past week, escaping death multiple times? Just to walk up to the stadium gates?

“Let’s go in. We’re already here,” Lin Qin said, his head drooping and his voice devoid of energy.

By now, the area in front of the stadium was nearly empty. The fans had either passed through ticket checks and gone inside, or they had been injured and taken away by ambulances.

Yun Xin walked in, facing no obstacles along the way.

A transparent panel popped up right on cue.
