Jim Becker was a very popular man.

At Kitchener's Distant Hills High School, if you mention his name, no one will say they don't know him.

He is a sophomore in high school this year and is the number one star of the Yuanshan High School ice hockey team. Not only is he handsome and tall, but his family is also very well off.

His father is the director of the school, and his mother is the chairman of the PTA (Parent-Teacher Association). Although his family is not considered super rich, they undoubtedly belong to a small number of wealthy people.

On weekdays, Becker wears luxury goods and makes friends with the "cool kids"; his girlfriend is either a hot cheerleader or a perfect little princess; even if he doesn't study hard, The classroom teacher didn't dare give him a failing grade; and he organized a party every week... at least once.

It can be said that Becker lived a high school life that countless people thought existed only in fantasy.

For ordinary students, as long as they can have one of the things Becker has, they are happy.

However, Becker himself was not satisfied with all this.

Because he has never experienced the feeling of having nothing, he doesn't think what he enjoys is a big deal; because he has long been accustomed to having everything, so...as time goes by, the satisfaction he can get from it also decreases. It will only decrease.

This is human nature and the nature of desire.

Sometimes, standing at a high place will not broaden your horizons.

Becker... is a good example; he was born with better resources than the average person, but he obviously didn't use them in the right place.

Unlike many people who had a "difficult" high school life, Becker quickly adapted to his relaxed and "perfect" high school life, so he spent his excess energy and time chasing "new" Stimulate" on.

At first, all he did was pranks and school bullying; if he did this kind of thing too much, there would naturally be times when he "crossed the line". Fortunately, his father was somewhat powerful in the local area, and most of them Everything that could be settled with money was settled for him.

Although his parents would still blame him after the accident, that was obviously different from punishment from the outside world... Because of this, Becker, who had not paid any price for his "cross-border" behavior, began to intensify his behavior.

He found a secret chat group on the dark web specifically for second-generation ancestors like him to communicate. In that group, many individuals and groups would share their ways of finding "stimulus" - which illegal drugs are high and not. This group is filled with similar information such as addiction, where to find underground nightclubs regardless of age, how to cover up your criminal behavior.

Although he paid a large amount of "entry fee" when he joined the group, Becker did not regret it at all, because the chat content in it really opened his eyes; when he listened to others discussing with great interest a certain topic only for "princes and grandsons" He realized that he was not an "elite" at all when he participated in the luxury gambling games they participated in; when he heard that a small group that was not very short of money made money casually by relying on a live murder show. When he gambled hundreds of millions of dollars, he realized that what he had played in the past could only be regarded as playing house...

In this way, Becker, who "broadened his horizons" from another perspective, seemed to have an "epiphany" and never looked back on the road of "learning bad things".

After joining the group for more than a month, he took his friends and hooked up with some local "drug dealers"; they began to "add ingredients" to the party drinks, and then let some "consumers" who were not students Bring female students into the room or even take them home...

Most of the victims were forced to remain silent due to the power of the Becker family, the power of "Daoer Shang", or because they were filmed.

As a result, Becker, who had succeeded many times, made this "business" bigger and bigger, and gained a certain reputation in Taoism. Of course, what he enjoyed more than money was that there were people immediately after announcing his name in front of people. It expresses the sense of superiority of "knowing this person" and the pride of showing off one's "deeds" in that chat group.

Today is the weekend again, Friday night is naturally a "party night".

Because there have been some rumors in his own school and several nearby high schools, it is now difficult for Becker to invite beautiful girls from nearby schools to his party, so he now has to do something every weekend Thing - handing out flyers.

Some people will definitely question, why do we still use such a primitive method of handing out leaflets to invite people these days? And even if you want to distribute leaflets, there is no need for Becker to do it himself, right?

In fact, the reason is very simple... First of all, choosing the form of handing out leaflets can limit the area where information is spread; of course Becker knows that posting information online can be seen by more people, but then he will face a problem - for example, There are five universities A, B, C, D, and E nearby where this party is held. If he publishes an invitation announcement online, then people from these five schools will come tonight, and the "victims" will be evenly distributed... Although These people will not report the crime, but they will probably warn or hint to the girls at the same school that there is something wrong with the party... In this way, before this weekend is over, the "supply" of these five schools will be cut off.

And what if we distribute leaflets? Becker can selectively invite people from one or two schools at a time; he will go to schools A and B today, and then go to C and D tomorrow, even if some students will share party news and attract people through social media. Some people from other schools came, but the publicity was very limited, far less effective than the organizer's direct announcement... By doing this, he could maintain the same party venue in one area for at least one weekend.

So, why did Becker have to do it himself when it came to distributing leaflets?

First, others are still in school on Friday, and no one dares to care about him skipping classes; second, his student image can help him easily get into any high school or university; third, as mentioned above , he is tall and handsome, and coupled with his famous brand, it is naturally easier to invite people.

To sum up, Becker set off as planned early that morning.

He first parked his sports car in the school parking lot, then picked up a backpack and trotted out of the school gate.

After walking two blocks, he entered the subway station.

Becker's destination today is two universities near the city center. The plan is to go to one in the morning and afternoon, then return to his school and drive home before school.

What Becker didn't know was that he was actually being followed before he left school.

The person following him was a boy named Adams, who was his classmate at the same school.

Of course, Becker didn't know Adams, because Adams was just a nobody, an ordinary high school student - he was confused about his future, felt powerless to study, tried to act cool but always failed, and felt rebellious but unruly. In essence, he is also a mediocre person.

If there is anything that Adams cares about in particular, it should be his girlfriend; for a person of his age, love may be more important than anything else...perhaps when he looks back many years later, he will find that he actually doesn't How he likes the other person, but at the moment, he only has this thing in his eyes.

Hormones are like a pot of boiling water. When your reason is soaked in it and screams, it is difficult for you to make proper judgments.

This is the situation Adams is facing now. Not long ago, his girlfriend became taciturn and slowly alienated him after going to Becker's party. His fierce questioning only resulted in silent crying.

In this case, Adams never thought of asking an adult for help, and he didn't even try to make any reliable guesses about the situation... although he might not be able to figure out what happened with his IQ.

Anyway, Adams was sure of one thing - the change in his girlfriend must be related to Becker. Therefore, from a few days ago, Adams began to secretly observe Becker's actions.

This morning in the parking lot, he spotted Becker sneaking out of school carrying a bag, and followed him out.

He followed Becker on the subway, took the bus to the city center, walked all the way to a high school, and even followed him inside.

He watched Becker post flyers in the corridors and lockers of other schools and send flyers to students during recess; then, he followed Becker out of that school and onto the subway again.

After only two stops, they arrived at another university. It was lunch break at this time, and Becker easily sneaked in and did what he did in the previous school again.

But this time, Becker attracted the attention of an academic staff member. After asking him a few questions, he discovered that he was not a student of the school, and then asked where he came from...

Becker didn't want to cause trouble here, so he ran away before things got serious.

The main player of the high school ice hockey team was chased by a middle-aged liberal arts teacher for no reason. Becker ran away smoothly, and in the process of escaping... he noticed the existence of Adams.

Becker soon realized that this person was his classmate from the same school, and then deduced that the other person had been following him since the morning.

Becker, who had always been a bully on campus but was now a criminal, would not be intimidated by a mere peer, let alone a student in his "local gangster" territory.

After running for a while, Becker deliberately turned into an alley. For fear of losing him, Adams hurried to follow, but was blocked at the corner.

The sturdy Becker stepped forward, put his arm against Adams' throat, and pushed him against the wall.

He asked Adams why he was following him, and Adams in turn asked him what he had done to his girlfriend and threatened to report him; the two people basically talked about different things on the same channel, but this did not prevent them from having a dispute that quickly escalated to Fight.

They fought from the end of the alley to the end of the alley. In the end, Becker gained the upper hand... Facing Adams, who was already unsteady and staggering, Becker punched the opponent hard, causing him to stagger back and lean over. Fall down.

The next second, with a screech of brakes, a school bus full of elementary school students ran over Adams, who suddenly fell on the shoulder of the road.

For such a large car, it is very dangerous to turn the steering wheel and slam on the brakes while driving. In addition, a big living person like Adams was placed under one of the tires... which caused a roll at that time. Skid accident.

That's not all. At the same time as the school bus was skidding, a black SUV that was obviously speeding came from the opposite lane and suddenly swerved towards the school bus. The driver on the opposite side was also caught off guard.

Suddenly, a tragic impact inevitably occurred.

After the loud noise, the school bus rolled over and slid, while the SUV was severely deformed and turned into the shape of a squeezed can.

Becker was already stunned when he saw this series of chain accidents, but the next scene made him wet his pants in fear.

About five seconds after the two cars collided, I saw... some kind of sharp claw-like substance tore the shell of the school bus, and then, a black animal arm as thick as a lamppost protruded from the car. .

At the same moment, the door of the SUV was kicked open from the inside. A man wearing black clothes and a ski mask stumbled out of the car; behind him... there were several bodies that had been covered by the car body. The squeezed people were deformed, and two of them who were still breathing were looking at the bones protruding from their bodies and groaning in horror.

The man who got off the bus glanced at the school bus, and then without thinking... he turned around and pulled out two large, heavy, black bags from the back seat of the SUV, and slung them across his shoulders... ...turn around and run.

The "monster" in the school bus tore the entire school bus into two at this moment and crawled out.

While "it" roared angrily, it randomly grabbed a few corpses from the car and stuffed them into its mouth, chewing them a few times and swallowing them like snacks.

On this day, many people died, including Adams, Becker, the adults and children in the two cars, and nearby residents... there were hundreds of people in total.

All the media outlets in Maple Leaf County rushed to break news about this matter, but until the evening news, people still didn’t know what happened here...

Because FCPS and EAS intervened in the investigation at the first time, the information released to the outside world was quickly restricted; although some people took pictures of the "monster", the official used the "online fake video" set of processing methods , which immediately reduced the credibility and dissemination power of this type of information.

Of course, they themselves have many images of "monsters" captured by road probes, but... they don't know the origin of this thing or why it crawled out of an overturned elementary school bus.

Later that day, a man who claimed to "know the situation" took the initiative to come to the police station and asked to assist them in their investigation.

After some negotiations with an EAS detective in charge of the case, the man who called himself "Uncle Xue" was allowed to watch the footage taken at a nearby intersection at the time of the incident, and learned... the two things that initially caused the accident. It has been found that they are all students of Yuanshan High School.

And while the agents were waiting for Uncle Xue to tell them the origin of the "monster"...
