No one notified me in advance. Everyone in the end times is crazy.

Luo Shiyu followed Wang Rui's temperament and was picked up and dropped off at school by him every day. He did not interact with anyone at school and spent a month in peace.

Jiang Yue walked up to the podium and said, "Students, tomorrow the military will be here to hold a ghost awakening ceremony. Please dress neatly and arrive at the playground on time at 10:00 am tomorrow."

[Someone from the military?]

A student raised his hand and asked, "Teacher! If I successfully summon a ghost, will I be hired by the military?"

"Yes, children who summon ghosts will be taken to military bases for internship. If you want to change your life and want to get out of these high walls, joining the military is the only way."

[Get out of the prison walls... I really want to see the outside world. Looks like I'll have to be a minion in the military for a few years.]

After class, Luo Shiyu sat in his seat and stared out the window in a daze as usual.

Luo Yingying walked to Luo Shiyu's seat: "Xiaobao classmate."

[What the hell? Who is that? Don’t call me! I can’t hear you!]

Luo Yingying stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him: "Xiaobao classmate!"

Please, don't talk to me, big sister!

"Xiaobao, the ceremony will be held tomorrow. Are you nervous?"

Luo Shiyu didn't dare to look at Luo Yingying at all.

"I'm not nervous! Why are you talking to me about this with so many people around?!"

"I'm very nervous. My family is an ordinary one. If I don't summon the ghost this time, I'm afraid I'll never have the chance to become a ghost master again."

Luo Shiyu was a little confused as to why Luo Yingying said these words to him, and turned to look at her.

"For children from ordinary families like us, becoming a ghost master is the only way out. The ghost tokens given upon admission are our only hope. If we fail, we will be a social slave for the rest of our lives."

Sang Biao didn't forget to add fuel to the fire: "Hahaha! I don't worry about the summoning failing! My dad will spend credit points to buy me a new ghost!"

"Ghost tokens are very expensive. Ordinary people like us can't afford them in our lifetime."

Luo Shiyu reached out and rubbed Luo Yingying's head.

All roads lead to Rome, but some people are born in Rome.

Luo Yingying excitedly grabbed Luo Shiyu's hand, as if she had made up her mind: "If! I say if! If I become a ghost master, can Xiaobao date me?"

Luo Shiyu looked at the wreath in Luo Yingying's hand. The ghost in the wreath had obviously dispersed.

Luo Shiyu smiled and nodded at her.

When the bell rang, Luo Yingying returned to her seat and turned to Luo Shiyu and said, "Well, I'll see what happens tomorrow!"

Xiaobai: "How pitiful!"

Xiao Hei: "Since she likes Wang Xiaobao, why didn't she confess her feelings earlier?"

Even if Wang Xiaobao is not favored, he is still the son of the city lord. A child from an ordinary family like Luo Yingying can only be worthy of him if he becomes a ghost master. This is reality.

Luo Shiyu glanced at everyone in the classroom.

[In this classroom, only three people have ghosts in their tokens, and they are of very low quality.]

Xiaobai: "What awaits losers is endless work from 5am to 9pm."

Xiao Hei: "Then I hope my son will become a dragon and my daughter will become a phoenix. I hope my child will become a ghost master and use him to change his fate."

Luo Shiyu looked up at the surveillance camera.

"I can barely take care of myself right now, so how can I care about others? My brother will definitely be furious when I get back."

As expected, Luo Shiyu did not see Wang Rui after school.

【It’s over! It’s over! It’s really over!】

Luo Shiyu returned to the door of his home, took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, reached out and pushed the door open, and the door was opened from the inside.

A hand reached out and grabbed Luo Shiyu's wrist, pulled him into the bathroom, threw him into the bathtub filled with water, and used the shower head to rinse him.

"Which hand touched it?"

【What? 】

Luo Shiyu didn't understand and looked at Wang Rui blankly.

"I ask you, with which hand did you touch that untouchable?"

Luo Shiyu understood and raised his right hand tremblingly.

[It's over! He's not going to chop off my hand!]

Wang Rui put on gloves, applied a lot of foam on Luo Shiyu's hands, and rubbed them back and forth more than ten times before letting go.

Luo Shiyu held his hands that were rubbed red, looking so pitiful that he felt like he would cry in the next second.

[Oh my god! I feel like my skin is going to fall off.]

Wang Rui's words were filled with disdain: "Those lowly people are not worthy of you! Don't associate with them!"

Luo Shiyu nodded obediently.

Wang Rui squatted beside Luo Shiyu and stroked the red corners of his eyes with his hand: "Also, even if she becomes a ghost master, she is not worthy of you. Xiaobao, you should put away those useless thoughts!"

Luo Shiyu nodded without hesitation.

[Look! I'm so good! Can you let me out of the bathtub now?]

Seeing that Luo Shiyu was quite obedient, Wang Rui did not make things difficult for him: "Since you are obedient, wash yourself and then come out for dinner."

Luo Shiyu took a hot bath, changed into the pajamas prepared for him by Wang Rui, and went out for dinner.

[Very good, dinner was normal.]

After dinner, Luo Shiyu helped clear the table as usual and then went back to do his homework. The whole night passed unusually peacefully.

[The ceremony will be held tomorrow, and I will be able to leave this crazy brother soon.]

Luo Shiyu fell asleep.

Wang Rui looked at Luo Shiyu’s sleeping face in the surveillance video.

"Xiaobao is so disobedient. How should I punish you?"

The next morning, Wang Rui did not come to call Luo Shiyu to get up.

Xiaobai's anxious voice came from the necklace: "Master! Wake up! We're going to be late!"

Luo Shiyu sat up suddenly.

What time is it?

Xiaobai: Half past nine.

[Oh shit! Don’t be late!]

Luo Shiyu put on his school uniform and ran downstairs. Wang Rui was lying on the sofa with a towel covering his forehead.

【What kind of evil is he doing? 】

Wang Rui's voice was weak: "Xiaobao, my brother is sick, can you stay and take care of him?"

"Can't you wait until later to get sick? You have such a big house, why don't you hire some servants? Are you expecting a child like me to take care of you?"

Luo Shiyu stood there looking at Wang Rui without moving.

[He's trying to stop me from joining the military? Run! This is my only chance to escape!]

Luo Shiyu turned around and ran towards the gate.

[Faster! Faster! ]

Wang Rui calmly took off the towel and smiled strangely at Luo Shiyu's fleeing back: "Doctor, stop him!"

A scalpel suddenly appeared and was placed on Luo Shiyu's neck.

[So fast! Is this my brother's ghost? It really suits him.]

Luo Shiyu looked at the man in front of him wearing a white coat with a ferocious face and a scalpel in his hand, and stepped back.

Wang Rui's footsteps were getting closer.

[It’s over, it’s really over this time. 】

"Where are you going, Xiaobao? Your brother is sick, why don't you take care of him?"

[Why should I care if you pretend to be sick when you are not? ]

Wang Rui walked up to Luo Shiyu and pinched his chin: "Xiaobao, are you planning to join the military and leave your brother?"

Wang Rui glanced at his watch and said, "It's a pity that you're going to be late. Even if you fly over now, it's too late! Just stay home and be good! Brother will take care of you!"

Luo Shiyu looked at the door in despair.

【The door is so close to me! 】

Xiao Hei: "Do you need me to fight my way out?"

[No need, Wang Xiaobao is still alive and cannot be exposed.]

"Doctor, guard the door. Prevent some little creatures from sneaking out." After giving the instructions, Wang Rui returned to the study to continue working.

[This guy is crazy! Even if a ghost does nothing when it's summoned, it will consume soul power. Letting a ghost guard the gate is crazy.]

Luo Shiyu returned to the room, lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling.

[This is really troublesome. What should I do now? ]
