《Real》Chapter 22: The Game and the Player, The Mob and the Riot
Advertisement
Selena and her college classmates were having fun.
Seeing the back of that guy as he walked away, made her feel a sense of superiority for being better than the others. Even though she don't know that guy, his looks when they first met clearly showed that he doesn't have a job, or at least his job isn't that amazing. From what she learned by growing into an adult, a person who couldn't even contribute anything to society are nothing but trash. And those trashes who has the face to even go out and be confident about themselves, even though they're living a life like that, are even worse than those trash. Selena felt that guy is one of those shits.
The jock looking guy, Kyle, slightly snorted while looking at that guy's back.
"We just scared him a little and he fck off like that. Fcking loser."
The dark skinned guy, James, grinned slightly.
"Looking at that guy annoys me." James said. "Just to be clear, I'll be the one breaking his legs later. No one can fight me with that!"
Selena's classmates all laughed.
One of the girl, Selena's best friend, Krishia, slightly sighed.
"Didn't you see, his actually quite a hunk." Krishia added. "Its a shame he doesn't have a job."
Since Selena told them what Gabriel looked like when they first met, and biasedly told them everything in Selena's point of view, they believe her completely and treated Gabriel as nothing but a failure. An adult with no job.
When they first saw Gabriel, they noticed of course his handsome face and muscular body, and since he looked different from Selena's previous description, they never really think it through and even admire him slightly. But after learning that, Gabriel and the homeless guy Selena mentioned are the same, they threw all the admirations and treated him as nothing but a trash.
Hearing Krishia mentioned the handsome face of Gabriel, the men in their group frowned and grinned slightly.
"You heard her guys." Kyle smirked. "Lets destroy his face later to the point that even a fcking monkey would look godly compared to him."
The boys laughed and remembered that. All of them are jealous of Gabriel's face and his body. Even them, a group of guys, couldn't help but admire him. And if they're a girls, they might even worship him as an Idol. And since they're aware of that, they'll make sure that he wont have that kind of face ever again.
Minutes passed and except for those customers who are leaving, there are no other customers that would order anything. So most of the customers just paid their bills and leave. They're also not in a mood to eat more since these college students are way too noisy and annoying.
As they're having fun, suddenly they heard a voice. It sounds mechanical and awkward, but all of them heard it clearly.
"Dance and act like a monkey."
All of them stopped and looked at each other. From everyone's face they know everyone heard that voice, but they know that, that voice didn't come from any of them. Looking around, they saw that all of the tables near the counter are already empty. Then where did that voice come from?
After waiting for a couple seconds, some of them laughed and decided to ignore it. They then, teased each other that they might be hearing a ghost or some supernatural stuff. And as they slowly forgot about the voice, they suddenly heard it again. But this time there's some difference.

"Dance and act like a monkey." then, a pressure enveloped their body as they suddenly felt their body became heavier. "Or you'll be punished."
This time, no one treated it as joke anymore. No matter how one thought of this, that sudden pressure was quite bone chilling for them. Of course, there are people of their group who ignored the voice and joked with it. They tried to calm their fellow classmate, while also looking around for the owner of the voice.
While they were looking at each other, and curiously looking around as well, they suddenly felt their head explodes and hurt like it was punctured by a hundreds or thousands of needles! Some of them even felt like their heads are being smash by a huge fcking hammer repeatedly! The pain that they felt was unbelievable, and they suddenly felt like they're dying!
Immediately, the calm yet a little bit noisy carinderia, was suddenly enveloped by few bone chilling screams coming out of the college students mouth! Their screams are loud and sounds so genuine, so some if the customers who were idling silently, was jolted awake by surprise. All the customers looked at the group of college students and curiously asked what happened. Some of the more curious individual even walked closer and watched the college students writhe on the ground while sobbing and moaning repeatedly.
For the college students though, its not as simple as that.
After more than half a minute, the pain disappeared and once again, the voice was heard. But this time, the voice is a lot more clearer. Its still sound mechanical, but now they could at least recognize that the voice is coming from a man. And like before, they heard the voice order them to dance and act like a monkey. And if they didn't obey, they'll be punished.
Some of the customer walked closer to the college students and asked if they're okay? And if they're not, they asked if they should call an ambulance. But some of the college students don't have a strength to answer them, as they just crumbled on the ground and silently sobbed. Most of the boys however still have a little bit of strength and could force themselves to sit properly. But when they heard the voice they suddenly felt a little bit scared, but they didn't do anything.
A couple seconds later, they again felt the pressure and the pain in their heads exploded like fcking dynamite! They again screamed and shouted hard to elevate the pain they're feeling! Most of them already started crying and sobbed like a baby. They cried and cried as their tears kept falling like a broken dam. After half a minute, the voice again disappeared.
This time, they finally realized that the voice isn't joking with them, and they should follow the orders properly.
As for the customers, hearing the screams and the cry of the college students became louder, they finally started taking this seriously and some of them even called an ambulance. They tried to help those who look like they couldn't even muster a strength to move their body.
Feeling the concern of the people around them, the college students felt warm and thankful. So they accepted their help and tried to stand up. When they finally stood up, they again heard the voice in their heads. This time the voice sounded perfectly like a normal person. And the voice is very clear like it's only talking beside them. The order this time is a little bit different though.
"Reject their help and run outside." after brief paused, the voice continued. "Then dance in the middle of the road while acting like a monkey."

Even though the college students felt troubled, they still followed the orders.
Someone who can make their head hurt and feel like its breaking apart, while whispering his voice inside their heads are not normal people. In their minds, the voice they're hearing might not be human at all. So without a hesitation, they rejected their help and some of them even shoved away the hands of those who are kindly helping them. Even though some of them are still crying with tears and snot mixing in their faces, they still said they're fine and should not bother them.
This confused the customers, as they could see that they're genuinely crying and hurting. Then why are they refusing them? As they are wondering about that, the group of college students ran outside and stood in the middle of the road. Most of the curious customers followed and looked at them weirdly.
Its now noon, and the sun is showering its lights everywhere. Those lights are hot, a slight touch of it and one would immediately sweat a lot. Add to that is the road that bathed in that sunlight for hours, and is now emitting and reflecting heat upwards. In short, standing in the middle of the road at this time is a big mistake. Added to that is a reminder that, this country is a tropical one. And when its hot. It means its fcking HOT!
Seeing the group of college students there like that, confused everyone. But as they're asking each other and whispering about what the fck is going on, the group of college students started dancing and acting like a monkey.
The customers and the people curiously looking at the group, didn't know what to feel. Among these people, Gabriel is calmly smiling while holding his phone and recording everything.
********
I couldn't help but smile and enjoy the scene.
Their faces twisted with pain, and covered with tears and snot as they scream with pure agony. There are even others who couldn't take the pain, and even cough a few times as they slowly spit out some sticky phlegm. They look very pitiful and disgusting. And the scene of them bathing with sunlight as they cried and force themselves to dance, while also feeling frustrated and humiliated at the same time, is very satisfying to see. But I wont stop with just that.
Even though not much, I could feel my inner sadist awakening slightly. And this sadist wont stop with just that. I want something more terrible, more painful, more mind breaking, and more twisted--- just to feel and see them suffer!
"For the girls, start dancing sexy while looking at the boys." I said using my mental sense to transfer them my thoughts. "Then for the boys, I want you to beat the dark skinned guy until he becomes crippled for the rest of his life!"
Hearing these, while I'm standing beside the curious people, I could see their face change a little bit and became a little bit weird. I didn't mind though and acted like I was also curious what's happening with them. The people beside me started whispering each other, and some looked at me and asked if I'm taking a video. I smiled and answered them truthfully, some of them frowned, but most of them just shrugged it off. Most of them don't really care.
Smiling slightly, since they're not obeying my new command, I decided to punish them by using my mental sense and make their heads hurt a lot. I'm really curious how long this kids could last, before they finally beat up the dark skinned guy.
Again, they screamed and all of them crumpled to the hot ground like worms surrounded by salts.
The noise they made attracted more and more people, and some of the vehicles passing by, stopped. Most likely because the college students are in the middle of the road. The drivers worriedly looked at their surroundings and curiously asked what's happening. Some people who saw the whole event, casually told them what happened.
As whispers and discussions are happening, some good people walked towards the college students and tried to help them. But every time they walked closer, I slowly increase the pain. And while they're crying and sobbing on the hot cement, I told them that anyone who walked closer to them and help them would increase their sufferings. So they should try their best to get them away.
Immediately, the college students who are crying and screaming, looked at the people walking towards them with red eyes and shouted at them to go away. Some of the good samaritans didn't listen and decided to walk even closer, but seeing this, the college students felt their minds breaking, so they immediately tried to attack those people! They screamed at them while punching and screaming at them! They're like crazy beasts full of madness!
They kicked, and beat up an innocent man who's just trying to help! Thankfully some people rescued him, and except for some dirty clothes and slight scratch, nothing was really serious. The people then stopped walking towards them and just looked from afar. Some of the good hearted citizen called some police or other authorities thats involve in something like this.
Heaving a sigh, I removed the pain they're feeling, and after looking around. I again told them to beat the dark skinned guy. This time, although the boys are crying and sobbing, and even though some doubts and guilt could be easily seen in their eyes, they still walked closer to the dark skinned guy. Then I told the girls to dance slow yet sexy, like they're seducing those people watching. While they're doing that, they should watch the dark skinned guy get beaten up.
The girls sobbed with their tears and snot mixed on their faces, while they're like that, their bodies are trembling slightly while forcing themselves to dance slow and sexy. And even though they felt embarrassed and humiliated, they really don't care anymore. Even they're feeling weak, they still forced themselves to move.
The boys on the other hand are even more worse.
While crying and sobbing, they walked closer to the dark skinned guy, and even though they don't really wanted to do it, they still threw some kicks and punches in every part of his body.
The cries and screams of the dark skinned guy as he was being beaten up, and curling up on the ground while trying his best to protect his head and stomach, was very disturbing to see. The sounds of sobbing while begging for mercy and repeatedly saying sorry, was very heart wrenching. His bones cracks, the sounds of fists hitting his body, the sound of his head smashing to the ground as he whimpers and cries, are very fcked up.
Some whispers can be heard in my surroundings as what they're seeing are way too cruel.
The psychological scene the people are watching made them ran and tried to stop it. But, like before they attacked those people and tried to make them stay away. The people didn't stop though, there are more than dozens of people who tried to stop it this time, and a simple punch and kicks, wont stop them.
The people are screaming and shouting at the college students to don't fight back, and stop what they're doing. And, actually I'm also one of those people who are screaming and urging them to stop. But while I was doing that, I'm coldly commanding them to continue, and even told the girls to not allow those people to get close to them. This time I didn't say any punishment, but still they obeyed and attacked those good hearted people!
They scratched and tried there best to get them away. And don't underestimate a girl on the verge of breaking point, they can actually exhibit strength that some of the men can only back away. They tear clothes, scratched and scream like beasts, and when the people managed to get hold of them, they tried to bite them and struggled hard! Because of this, some of the girl's clothes also got ripped apart and their bras are already out in the open. There's even a girl who's bra slipped and her bare chest and nipples was seen in the public.
Some of the men got excited with that. But most of the people here didn't really have the time to care. They just want all of this to stop. So that's why they focused only to that.
Slowly, without anyone noticing it, the whole crowd became part of the mob, and scene that could only be seen in riots, happened in front of a carinderia.
Later that night, the whole neighborhood became the headlines, and caught the whole country by surprise.
--------
In the police station, together with the few people who got involved in the so called riot, the college students and their parents, the media--- strangely enough, I got included as well. I was not really supposed to be here, but since I'm the only one who managed to take a video of the whole situation, and because they've been looking for me for the past couple days, they decided to bring me as well. I don't really mind, so I followed them calmly.
From what I know, it looks like there are two police who visited the Carissa Residences and was looking for me. And when they heard that I was in the carinderia, they immediately went there. But what they found wasn't a normal carinderia, but a place where riot was happening. So, since its their jobs, they tried to stop the riot and called for back-ups. And since some people already called the police, by the time the police called, they're already on their way and arrived early.
After they arrived, the whole place calm down and the riot stopped.
Except for the few people who got slightly injured, like some scratches, was lightly bitten, and got kicked and punched a couple of times, most people just dirtied and torn their clothes slightly. And since these people are just innocent people who were just trying to help, I felt a little bit guilty. So even though not much, I gave them a couple of thousands and told them what they did was admirable. At the same time, I tried to release some Qi and help them recover their light wounds faster, but when I did, my Qi wont come out. This weirded me out, but I don't want them to become suspicious, so I still walked away after talking to them a little bit.
Well, as I was sitting in front of a table of a police officer, away from those who got involve in the so-called riot, the officer in front of me kept asking me some questions regarding the guy I stripped naked in the toilet of a park. And of course I never admitted anything, and just answered some questions. The officer interviewing me looks like he also doesn't give a fck, so I have really a good impression of the guy.
"So.. when I left the carinderia that day, I was planning on bringing the guy to the nearest hospital. But, since I was kinda new in the neighborhood, when I walked away, I kinda got lost and arrived in a park near us. At that time, I suddenly felt the call of nature and left the guy in the corner near the bench. When I came back, he was gone. I tried to look for him, but, I couldn't find him. I thought he just woke up and returned home."
While I was describing that, I was saying it with a voice filled with sincerity and innocence. But even with that, the officer didn't change reaction and just continued doing it by their regulations.
"Instead of bringing him alone, why didn't you ask for help? Since you know that you're new in the area, why didn't you asked anyone?" he flatly ask and looked at me waiting for a reply.
"Well, at that time, when I touched him slightly, the guy suddenly cried and got knocked out for some reason. So, at that time, I felt responsible and wanted to carry him myself."
"If you're feeling responsible, you should have asked for help, right?"
"Well, I'm a little bit stubborn, so I didn't." looking at the officer, I asked innocently. "Anyway, from the way you ask me, is his condition really that bad?"
The officer stopped for a couple of seconds, before sighing slightly.
"... No."
After that, the officer asked me more questions and I answered them without a problem. The key here is to not admit anything, and act like I'm a good person with a good soul.
Standing up, I then walked towards the group of those who are involve in the so-called riot. The officers standing in charge of them are now currently asking some questions, and the college students and other people that got involve are answering the questions. Before I even arrived, I can already hear the sobbed and the crying sounds of some of the college students as they tell everyone, what they experienced. Like they heard a voice, and if they didn't follow them their heads would hurt a lot, and other stuffs. Listening to them are very amusing. Specially since, I'm the very reason for all of that.
As reporters listening to their questions and answers, they're also taking down notes and recording the conversation with their small camera held by their stations camera men. Seeing all of this, I thought it should be fine to record a video for myself as well, so I opened my phone and hit the play button. As the time started ticking, I sat down beside the people around us.
"Why are you guys aren't having fun?" I used my mental sense and enveloped the college students again. "I thought you guys wanted to play this game?"
Suddenly, while the college students are sobbing and telling everyone what happened on their side, they all stopped and started trembling. Some of the girls even started crying loudly. Their sudden change of behavior is very unusual that some of the reporters and police were shocked and surprised.
While everyone's feeling baffled, the voice in the college students' head continued.
"Why are you guys crying? You guys started this, right? The little bitch humiliated me a couple of times, the jock even threatened me, the dark skinned guy went even further by spitting his dirty saliva in my shirt."
Hearing all of that, all the college students looked at my direction and realized something. Immediately, the other people surrounding me looked at me curiously as well. Seeing this, I looked around a couple of times and asked. But the people around me also don't have a clue. Since that's the case I asked them if its because of me taking a video, and asked if its bad, and asked if I should stop.
While we were having conversations, my thoughts are being transferred in their minds. And with a gentle smile I could ever have, I looked around and slowly focus my attention to those college students.
"Don't worry, this game wont stop even if you guys are arrested."
I paused and slowly put a pressure in their minds.
"Because in this lifetime, your entirety are nothing but a game, and I'm the player who'll beat you repeatedly."
